The French Army no longer has the resources to confront an uprising in the Muslim suburbs that Sarkozy utilized in 2005.

Farage Warns British MEPs 'Colluding' with Euro MEPs to Derail Brexit
Brexit campaign leader Nigel Farage has warned that the British political class are “colluding” with their European counterparts to thwart Brexit after an email leak.
The LBC host and former UKIP chief is still a working Member of the European Parliament (MEP), and was able to reveal an email from colleague Alyn Smyth — of the anti-Brexit, left-wing, Scottish ‘nationalist’ SNP — sent to every politician in the 751-strong European Parliament, urging them to help EU loyalists in Britain delay and ultimately defeat Brexit.

Matthew Whitaker: acting attorney general said judges should be Christian
Donald Trump’s new attorney general once said that judges should be Christian and proposed blocking non-religious people from judicial appointments.
Matthew Whitaker, who was made acting attorney general on Wednesday after Trump fired Jeff Sessions, said judges needed a “biblical view of justice” and questioned the judgment of secular lawyers.
Whitaker made the remarks at a conservative forum in April 2014, where he appeared as a candidate for the Republican US Senate nomination in Iowa. Video clips of the event were saved by People For the American Way, a liberal campaign group.

Iran hawks see House ally in ascendant Democratic lawmaker
An ascendant New York lawmaker could provide an unlikely boost to parts of President Trump’s foreign policy in the Democratic-controlled House, Iran hawks believe.
Rep. Eliot Engel, the top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, is poised to take the chairman’s gavel from retiring Republican Ed Royce of California. While the new Democratic majority is threatening investigations into the Trump administration, Engel’s rise could help fortify one of the administration’s most controversial policies: the president’s crackdown on Iran in the wake of the withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal forged by then-President Barack Obama.

Massive real estate scam based in Irvine bilked people out of $100 million, FTC alleges
The Federal Trade Commission announced Thursday that it’s looking to shut down the “largest overseas real estate investment scam” it has ever encountered: an unfinished luxury development in Belize whose owners, the agency said, bilked people out of more than $100 million.
The scheme’s perpetrators were based in Irvine, the FTC said in a complaint filed in federal district court in Maryland. It alleged that the development — called Sanctuary Belize, the Reserve or Sanctuary Bay — was advertised on national television and that telemarketers made false claims to lure consumers to buy lots.

Europe's consensus on migration is suddenly breaking up
Sometimes small things indicate great change. The Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration, also referred to as the United Nations Migration Pact, is a nonbinding document addressing the governance of global migration and is to be adopted at an intergovernmental conference in Marrakesh, Morocco, in December.
The document is deeply pro-migration. It calls it a source of innovation and growth, while also proposing measures to allow more migration and integration of migrants into developed nations. Yet its nonbinding nature has created a perception that it is humanistic boilerplate with no real political consequences.
First tensions appeared when the United States opted out of the pact by the end of 2017, citing security concerns. It was followed by the conservative nationalist government of Hungary in summer of 2018. But interpreted as a nod to domestic constituencies, the actions by Trump and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban appeared to be exceptions that would not seriously derail the adoption of the pact.
