In seeking to address inequalities, Bally Bagayoko seems intent on overturning the entire Republic.

If the National Rally (RN) candidate wins in the French presidential election next spring, far-left mayor Bally Bagayoko of multi-cultural Saint-Denis has said it will be invalid, calling for a "popular insurrection" if this were to occur.

One social commentator on X, Alain Weber, posted frankly about the reality France is facing:
"Contrary to what the Democrats of this country thought, the danger will not come from Jean-Luc Mélenchon but from Bally Bagayoko, who is the calm face of the civil war being prepared in the suburbs."
Attached to his post was an interview of Bagayoko with Jean-Michel Aphatie on LCI Direct in which he tells the shocked host that if RN wins the election next year, they will never have "popular legitimacy," only what he calls "institutional legitimacy."

The mayor also said that those who attempt to "normalize the far right" are "dangerous," adding that "if the far right comes to power, which we do not want, we will do everything so that it cannot happen."

'Dr. Fauci's role in the coverup was intentional;' CIA whistleblower testifies at Rand Paul's hearing

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) amplified his efforts today to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci accountable for "lying to Congress" about gain-of-function research, with a crucial hearing before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.

In an X post from May 12, Fox News Congressional correspondent Bill Melugin stated that Paul informed him "the COVID-19 whistleblower who will testify publicly [and] in person before his committee tomorrow morning is an active CIA employee."

Although Melugin was not given a name, today's hearing identified James Erdman III as the whistleblower. Erdman serves as a CIA Senior Operations Officer and a Co-Founder of Feds For Freedom. Notably, the organization's mission revolves around "holding our government accountable."

Quick Take...The king's speech makes me laugh

King Charles
© Off-Guardian Org
The King's Speech is hilarious these days. It's been irrelevant for a long time, but it's recently become genuinely funny.

He rocks up to Parliament with this shiny hat and big old cloak, the MPs pretend to lock Black Rod out to show they're independent, and then they all go and listen to him anyway.

If the King were really a ruler it would be at least mean something. But despite the trappings of a constitutional monarchy, he's really not at the top of the food chain.

The speech we all have to listen to him give was not written by him, and he likely has no control over its content at all. It's supposedly written by his government, but that's not really true either.

It's a globalist policy document.

Jury trials bad. Digital ID good.

The global fertilizer shortage is going to mean the spring planting season in the northern hemisphere will be a total disaster

Nobody is going to be able to save the spring planting season in the northern hemisphere now, and that is really bad news because according to the UN the number of people in the world experiencing acute hunger was already at an all-time high even before the war began. A historic global food crisis has been escalating for years, and now farmers all over the northern hemisphere either can't get the nitrogen fertilizer that they desperately need or they are paying much more for it. As a result, global food prices will start rising dramatically once harvest season rolls around, and in many impoverished nations there simply won't be enough food for everyone.

During normal times, approximately one-third of all globally-traded nitrogen fertilizer travels through the Strait of Hormuz, but right now it can't get out of the Persian Gulf thanks to the Iranians. Unfortunately, if that nitrogen fertilizer doesn't get into the hands of farmers in the northern hemisphere within a certain period of time they will completely miss the application window...
The Hormuz Strait carries roughly one-third of global fertilizer trade. If farmers miss the application window, no amount of catch-up planting can recover the loss. The International Grains Council estimates cumulative global wheat and coarse grain output could fall 53 million tons below last season, a shortfall larger than Ukraine's entire annual grain export volume in a typical year.

Parents sent to prison after isolating kids for FOUR YEARS over Covid fears

locked the minors
Extreme measures resulted in severe developmental and physical harm to the three children

A court in northern Spain has sentenced a couple to prison after they kept their three children confined indoors for nearly four years due to intense fears of Covid.

The isolation, which began in December 2021 and continued until the children were rescued in April 2025, left the youngsters with significant mental and physical conditions, including difficulties walking, bowel and bladder control issues, and delayed development.

The case, underscores the profound and lasting effects that pandemic-related anxiety had, and continues to have, on some individuals.

Comment: Covid authoritarianism and the mind virus of paranoia associated with it was just the little kick over the edge that these very likely already pathological parents needed to "justify" their abusive and psychopathic tendencies.

Crestfallen Commie Mamdani drops planned property tax hike on New Yorkers

Who knew the wealthy (and others) could move.

Looks like NYC's communist mayor has had second thoughts about extracting more taxes by raising New Yorkers' property taxes - something he vowed to do to help close a two-year deficit.

According to Bloomberg, the decision to drop the tax hike will be included in Mamdani's executive budget released today, which will mark the latest version of his spending plan for the fiscal year beginning July 1.

This is separate from a tax on second homes (the so-called pied-à-terre) that was initiated by Governor Kathy Hochul - which is still under consideration as part of state budget negotiations.

Warning

The day civilization runs out of bread will not feel like fiction

Apocalyptic food line

For nearly three decades, much of the modern world behaved as though the nuclear age had quietly expired sometime in the early 1990s. The collapse of the Soviet Union created the comforting illusion that humanity had stepped away from the edge permanently, as if the terrifying balance that defined the Cold War had dissolved together with old political maps. Younger generations grew up hearing about nuclear drills, fallout shelters, and atomic panic the same way they heard about trench warfare or medieval plagues: as distant historical experiences disconnected from ordinary life. Governments gradually shifted public attention toward terrorism, economic globalization, artificial intelligence, and climate policy, while nuclear annihilation faded into the background of public consciousness.

Yet history has a dangerous habit of returning precisely when societies become convinced they have outgrown it.

Comment: In one of the tomorrows to come, the scenarios above may well occur to this or that degree. Preparation means survival.

DOJ reaches settlement with data firm over meat industry competition concerns

The Department of Justice (DOJ) reached a proposed settlement with Agri Stats Inc., requiring the data and consulting company to stop distributing competitively sensitive information among the nation's major meat processors, officials announced on May 7.

The agreement, which was filed in federal court in Minnesota, seeks to address longstanding government concerns that the firm's practices allowed processors to coordinate production and pricing, increasing costs for consumers nationwide.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and antitrust division leaders said the proposed settlement was an effort to foster competition and ease pressures on household budgets. He said in a statement:
"A stable and affordable food supply is critical to our country's well-being. This Department of Justice is laser-focused on making everyday life affordable for all Americans."

Mon dieu! UK exam board allowing GCSE French students to MAKE UP gender-neutral language terms despite not being used in France

Woke madness

A British exam board has allowed GCSE French students to use gender-neutral language despite the terms not being used in France.

Staff from Pearson Edexcel have given the green light to teens using "inclusive" pronouns, nouns and adjectives in their written and oral GCSEs.

However, the French do not pander to the same bid for inclusivity, with all their grammatical concepts being strictly categorised into gendered variants.

Adjectives have specific "masculine" and "feminine" endings to match the noun it is complementing, such as an object or person.

Comment: Modernity News nails it:
Absolute insanity. When these people go out into the real world, only then will they discover that no one has a clue what it is they're saying.

Students can even deploy new adjectival endings "according to their preferred way of identifying", along with special spellings using full stops, "x's", asterisks and underscores. This isn't teaching French - it's turning language exams into an identity politics playground.

The move comes just weeks after the government's new trans guidance for schools, a framework that openly allows primary school children - some as young as four - to socially transition at school, complete with different pronouns, as long as teachers show "caution" and consult parents.
