Wikipedia • The Holocaust was the genocide of European Jews during World War II. Between 1941 and 1945, Nazi Germany and its collaborators systematically murdered some six million Jews across German-occupied Europe, around two-thirds of Europe's Jewish population.

How many more thomas-perottos will have to die before the French government comprehends the Muslim threat within?
"Young French farmers from the villages of Saint-Marcellin and Pont-en-Royans organized a “farmers’ ball” on Saturday evening, May 24, held at the Murinais ballroom. It was to have been a night of innocent fun. They had not counted on Muslim immigrants from Saint-Marcellin showing up with mayhem on their minds. Six Muslims came to the hall, and waited outside. When two farmers left the ball, the Muslims attacked them and. began to beat them up. At that point, other farmers streamed out to help defend their fellows, and the Muslims then fled, only to return later with their own reinforcements, and proceeded to attack the now-outnumbered farmers. One of the farmers was repeatedly kicked and punched, and suffered serious injuries to his head, sufficient to incapacitate him fr 13 days. A night of harmless fun turned into a nightmare when Muslims, for no reason other than their hatred of “whites” — that is, indigenous Frenchmen — led them to unleash their unprovoked and savage attack. More on the attack can be found here: “Crépol, continued,” translated from “Crépol, suite,” by Michel Janva, Le Salon Beige, on May 30, 2024 (thanks to Medforth):
A dancing evening, the “Farmers’ Ball,” was organized on Saturday evening in the Murinais village hall by young farmers from Saint-Marcellin and Pont-en-Royans.
A first fight broke out in front of the room between two men who were leaving the evening and half a dozen others who were outside, young people from Saint-Marcellin. As other people came out of the room to help their two friends, their opponents were pushed back and they fled.
But later, they returned with reinforcements, and a second, much more violent brawl broke out, during which the main victim was kicked and punched. This young man was able to leave the hospital during the day but he suffered a serious head injury, his total incapacity for work (ITT) having been set at 13 days.
“They are the same as in Crepol” admits the mayor.
“The attackers wanted to beat up white people,” says a witness.
"This latest attack reminded many French of the attack on November 18, 2023, in the tiny village of Crépol, in the Drôme department, with a population of about 500. Local, farmers had organized an annual “winter ball” attended by many people from the surrounding area. Just as the evening was ending, and people streamed from the hall, a gang of Muslims, armed with knives, arrived at about 1:30 a.m., and began stabbing the French people. Nine people were stabbed with knives, while others were hit with stones and fences. Eight people were treated for shock. 16-year-old Thomas Perotto was stabbed in the heart and the throat, and died. Two others, aged 23 and 28, were treated as “absolute emergencies” while six others were treated for minor injuries. Witnesses said that when the Muslims arrived, they yelled out “we’re here to kill the whites.” And that’s what they tried to do" . . .

The Mannheim attacks reveal Europe's impotence - Ayaan Hirsi Ali . . ."Last Friday, at about 11:30am, a 25-year-old Afghan went on a knife spree at a rally in Mannheim. He stabbed Michael Stürzenberger, the convener of the rally, along with a policeman and four others, before a second policeman shot him. Two days later, the officer succumbed to his wounds.
"We still don’t know everything about the incident. What we do know, though, is that it is a deeply sad — and obvious — metaphor for the way Western countries function. People protest Islamic violence. The press smears them. Islamists attack. The state tries to subdue the protestors. The Islamists continue attacking. Rinse and repeat."
What is the cure? It certainly doesn’t involve electing a centre-right government. As the past 14 years in the UK have shown, centre-right governments do nothing. Instead, what is needed is a shift in international and constitutional law, or events like those in Germany will just keep happening until the nations of Europe collapse.

This means that Israel’s leaders will need to press on alone to defend their nation against Hamas and other threats until there is a new president in the White House who stands firmly with the Israeli people. Hopefully, that will happen next January.
"The daring Israel Defense Forces (IDF) rescue mission on June 8 that freed four Israelis taken hostage by Hamas during its October 7, 2023 terrorist attack against Israel was a pivotal event that should have shifted global opinion about the war in Israel’s favor by illustrating the shocking malevolence of Hamas and how little it values human life.
""Unfortunately, this did not happen.
"The IDF freed four hostages who Hamas was holding in apartment buildings, using the residents as human shields to prevent them from being freed. In addition, so-called “innocent” Palestinian civilians were incarcerating hostages in their apartments, with Hamas reportedly paying them to do so.
"Abdallah Aljamal, a Gaza-based journalist, held three Israeli hostages captive in his home. Aljamal, who was killed in the IDF raid, wrote many stories slamming Israel for human rights violations in the war and killing Palestinians. He also was a spokesman for Hamas.
"Desperate to prevent the hostages from being brought back to Israel by the IDF team, Hamas fighters attacked the team as it left the apartment buildings with machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades. The IDF team defended itself and Israel was forced to conduct airstrikes to defend the hostage extraction.
"Arnon Zmora, an officer of the IDF’s elite Yamam counter-terrorism unit, was shot and critically injured by Hamas terrorists guarding three of the four hostages.
"This was a great victory for Israel and demonstrated that it will not abandon its people taken hostage by Hamas terrorists. Hamas holding hostages in crowded civilian areas and its ferocious firefight against the IDF rescuers demonstrated how little Hamas values human life and confirmed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar’s belief that more Palestinian civilian deaths work to his advantage.
"But most of the world saw the IDF raid differently. Israel was criticized for the large number of Palestinian civilian casualties in the raid, even though many were caused by Hamas fighters firing on IDF forces in a civilian area. The mainstream media and Western politicians cited, without question, exaggerated Palestinian casualty figures from the Hamas-controlled Gaza Health Ministry. U.S. and European media described the raid as a “deadly hostage rescue.” Some Western media outlets tried to downplay the fact that Hamas was engaged in hostage-taking by claiming the hostages had been “released” rather than “freed.” . . .
Give Hamas advance notice of the raid and this is what you will find:

Of course, the public misinterpreted this as a repudiation of Trump. Democrat activists behind this attack learned that bullying works and escalated it against other targets. That evolved into the infamous “search and destroy” strategy against Trump’s appointees.
. . ."Begining before Trump’s inauguration as 45th POTUS, hundreds of bomb threats were made against Jewish community centers and schools in the U.S.
"The threats came in five waves: Jan. 9 (three days after the election's certification), Jan. 18 (two days before the inauguration), Jan. 31 (following the travel ban, fueling Big Tech-led insurrection), Feb. 20, and Feb. 28.
"The media unanimously declared that these threats came from white supremacists in the U.S., allegedly emboldened by the election of President Trump.
"The FBI knew that most of the threats were made over the Internet, could have been made from anywhere in the world, and likely came from abroad, but refused to say that officially. In hindsight, this can be linked to the agenda of FBI Director James Comey and his number two, Andrew McCabe. The agenda was to undermine the president whose election they had attempted to prevent and to hide how easy the Obama-Biden administration made it for foreign threat actors to obtain classified info and impact events in the U.S.
"On March 23, the information about the perpetrator of most threats was published, refuting accusations against Trump and “white supremacists.” Almost all threats were made by an autistic 18-year-old, Michael Kadar, living in Israel. He was engaged in criminal activity online from his parents’ home. Among other things, he provided a “service” for making threats over the Internet. His claims of “boredom” as the motive are implausible, given that he did such things for money. Almost certainly, these threats were ordered by somebody who hated Trump." . . .
"The Obama-Biden administration and the Democrat campaign have intimidated prominent Jews against supporting and even associating with Donald Trump in 2016-2017. Because such intimidation had no precedent in this country, their silence was perceived as agreement with a vocal minority of Trump haters." . . .

Since these Hollywood icons have descended into the bottom realm of TDS, I find the preponderance of hateful comments and posts they wield too unpleasant and have avoided paying to watch any vehicle they’re appearing in and as their films and other venues tank, apparently I’m not the only one who feels the same.
"It is a real mystery why Trump Derangement Syndrome has managed to destroy the legacies of so many formerly admired Hollywood celebrities. Robert DeNiro, whom I had always thought was a terrific actor, has become such a vicious and profane TDS victim that I have lost the urge to watch again any of his great performances.
"After the braindead NY jury found Trump guilty of 34 fake felonies, Hollywood TDS-infected stars celebrated this egregious miscarriage of justice. While most of these so-called celebs are really has-beens seeking relevance, I wonder if they have any idea the huge number of fans who’ve sworn to never spend another cent on anything they star in.
"In a post-verdict article in Breitbart.com headlined- “Hollywood Celebrities Rejoice over Trump Verdict: ‘Tears of Joy,’ ‘F**k Trump and F**k Those Who Support Him’” the following stars were pictured stupidly enjoying the result: ·Barbra Streisand, ·Rob Reiner, ·Bette Midler, and ·six others not famous enough to mention. The article went on to list the tweets crowing about what they perceive as justice, but the one that I found really disgusting was semi-celeb Ellen Barkin tweeting in all caps-GOD BLESS NEW YORK CITY!!!
"I was born and raised in what was once the greatest city in the world, but it is now unrecognizable thanks to progressives who do not understand anything about being American. I grew up in a time when NYC was a city filled with immigrants from all over the world who came here legally to become Americans and were grateful for the opportunity. Now progressives have allowed a new immigrant force that is only here to pillage and destroy the favorable impression that legal immigrants made in my home town.
"Whenever I access Breitbart’s entertainment page, and read what these celebrities post in their hateful remarks about any Republican, I try and remember what had first appealed to me about their performances rather than the hateful words they were now expressing. As a native New Yorker who was devastated by the 9/11 attacks on my city, I much appreciated and watched over and over the moving video of Bette Midler singing Wind Beneath My Wings at a Prayer ceremony in Yankee Stadium filled with the families of the victims. After she finished the song, she’s seen hugging Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Governor Pataki, yet she is now firmly in the hate-all-Republicans camp. And I find that so sad." . . .

"The investigation’s findings were politically charged, sparking debates about Biden’s cognitive abilities and the fairness of the legal probes compared to similar cases involving other political figures, such as former President Donald Trump."
"Mark Zwonitzer, Joe Biden’s ghostwriter, disclosed to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) that he had deleted numerous audio records of interviews with the 81-year-old Democrat incumbent, partly due to the ongoing special counsel investigation. At that time, Special Counsel Robert Hur, a Department of Justice special counsel, was probing allegations that Biden had improperly handled and unlawfully retained classified documents after his tenure as vice president.
"It is also alleged that some of these classified documents, in violation of national security laws, were shared with Zwonitzer. During his FBI interview, according to the transcript reviewed by The National Pulse, agents questioned Zwonitzer about the influence of the special counsel’s appointment on his decision to delete the recordings.
"Initially evasive, Zwonitzer admitted he “was aware of the special counsel investigation when that happened.” He confirmed that he had eliminated several years of audio records from his interviews with Biden. Zwonitzer is a writer and documentary filmmaker known for his work in both television and authorship. He has written several books, often focusing on American history or biographies, and has been involved in the production of numerous PBS documentaries.
"His skills as a writer have led him to ghostwriting roles, which include collaborating with prominent figures to help pen their memoirs or personal stories. According to the transcript, one FBI agent confronted Zwonitzer, questioning the timing of his deletion of audio recordings after learning about the special counsel’s investigation into Biden.
(BREAKING: Glenn Beck reveals new Biden initiative that will bankrupt America)
“ 'The outside observer is going to look at this and say ‘Mark Zwonitzer, President Biden’s friend, ghostwriter, collaborator learned of the special counsel’s investigation, saw this happening, and then deleted all these audio recordings,'” the agent said, pressing for clarity on the motives behind Zwonitzer’s actions: “I just need the truth on this one, but there’s some truth in that, that was what was going on. That was part of your motivation, at least something you were aware of when you did this?”
"Zwonitzer tacitly admitted that the investigation had influenced his decision to some extent, though he declined to specify how much it affected him. “I’m not going to say how much of the percentage it was of my motivation,” he stated." . . .
Lime, the new Bud Light, issued a groveling statement condemning the use of their scooters for the desecration of the gay pride iconography.
Supporting LGBTQ Pride Month, Kevin Rector, a legal affairs reporter for the Los Angeles Times, insists that “Queer people should not just be accepted but celebrated.” That is absurd. What willing people do behind closed doors is no one else’s business—not yours, not mine, and not the government’s. But to honor people—for an entire month, no less—for their sexual activity is an insult to us all, gay and straight.

| JD Vance and other Senate Republicans Vow to BLOCK DOJ FUNDING, Biden Nominees: ‘We No Longer Cooperate’ |
"On Thursday, a group of GOP Senators led by Sen. J.D. Vance, which also includes Sens. (R-OH), Mike Lee (R-UT), Bill Hagerty (R-TN), Roger Marshall (R-KS), Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), and Eric Schmitt (R-MO), announced they would put a hold policy on several of President Biden's nominees in response to the ongoing "radical lawfare" against Donald Trump. In addition to various judicial nominees, there are also the pending nominations of deputy undersecretary of the Treasury and general counsel for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI).
"The Senators' announcement also stated that the nominees in question would apply to those who “supported lawfare or censorship” of Trump, “suggested the Trump prosecutions were reasonable,” or endorsed Trump’s guilt. some of the nominees include Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA) to represent the U.S. at the U.N. General Assembly, Surgeon General Vivek Murthy's nomination to represent the U.S. on the World Health Organization Board, and former Rep. Charlie Crist (D-FL) to represent the U.S. on the Council of the International Civil Aviation Organization. While the nominations are relatively minor, they will force Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) to use valuable Senate floor time on things like judicial nominations, leaving the others to languish or not be confirmed at all. The group says the stall will last through the election." . . .

The Olympics is bigger than the games. It is a representation of who we are as a nation. As it is, the USA Women’s Basketball Team will go to Paris and represent (Obama’s and Biden’s) America — race division and strife.
"As a long-time (until the LeBron era) Lakers fan, I am grateful that I was around to witness Showtime firsthand — Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, James Worthy, Byron Scott, Kurt Rambis, A.C. Green, and Michael Cooper.
Their rivalry with the Boston Celtics and Larry Bird throughout the eighties catapulted “the game” to unprecedented heights. So it is with Caitlin Clark and the WNBA, or at least it could be.
But alas, resentment, racism, and bigotry (in this case, against heterosexuality) are (seemingly) more powerful than the competition, and more importantly, the opportunity to catapult “the women’s game” beyond the abysmal ratings that it has experienced since its inception.
In the eighties, during the Lakers/Celtics run, race was all but irrelevant to the game. That’s not to say that race was entirely irrelevant, but it didn’t cause me (a Caucasian person) to root for Larry Bird ahead of my beloved Lakers. Magic was my guy. Showtime was my team.
Today’s game is mired, as is (seemingly) the rest of society, in race and race grievance — Obama’s America. Envy has taken front-row seats in the Caitlin Clark era.
This past week, it was reported that Caitlin Clark was left off the U.S. Olympic Women’s Basketball Team, with reports that “there were concerns about her millions of fans” being upset that she wouldn’t have gotten any playing time. This rationale is interesting on two fronts. One: Those “millions of fans” would have watched the Olympic games, and two: Playing time would have been what it was. If Clark were put in to help the team, then her playing time would be justified by her production.
