Par AFP Par Bertille LAGORCE © 2026 AFP Un concert de la DJ Barbara Butch a été interrompu samedi soir à Grenoble après que des militants propalestiniens ont perturbé sa performance à la suite d'un appel au boycott soutenu par LFI, déclenchant des accusations d'antisémitisme.Depuis le mois de mai, ce spectacle faisait l'objet d'un appel au boycott, notamment de la part de l'antenne grenobloise de La France insoumise.Celle-ci dénonçait le fait que l'artiste juive avait signé une tribune en soutien à la contestée proposition de loi Yadan visant à "lutter contre les nouvelles formes d'antisémitisme", retirée depuis.Ce texte entendait élargir le délit d'apologie du terrorisme. Il avait été très critiqué, ses opposants y voyant un risque pour la liberté d'expression et un possible amalgame dangereux entre les Français juifs et Israël.Barbara Butch "a été la cible d'une agression intolérable en plein spectacle", a réagi la mairie de Grenoble auprès de l'AFP, dénonçant des "jets de bouteilles en verre" et autres projectiles "visant délibérément la scène".Le ministre de l'Intérieur, Laurent Nuñez, a condamné ces violences "avec la plus grande fermeté".

Kimi Antonelli avait quitté la Belgique le coeur lourd l'an dernier après une piteuse 16e place dans un été compliqué, mais il s'est cette fois montré impérial, en contrôle durant tout le week-end pour remporter sa sixième victoire de la saison, dimanche à Spa-Francorchamps."L'an dernier ici j'ai probablement touché le fond, ça avait été un week-end très difficile pour moi mentalement, mais cette année ça a été beaucoup mieux", a-t-il dit en souriant après la course. "Si on m'avait dit l'année dernière que j'en serais là aujourd'hui je n'y aurais pas cru."Antonelli s'est imposé sans beaucoup trembler devant la Ferrari du Monégasque Charles Leclerc, 2e, et la Red Bull du Néerlandais Max Verstappen, 3e."Mon rythme était moins bon qu'en essais, ça a été une rude bataille", a estimé le jeune homme de 19 ans. "Cela n'a pas été facile, il y avait des différences dans la manière dont les différentes équipes utilisaient leur énergie.

Yet its move to a far more skeptical position is the most dramatic manifestation of a Europe-wide shift from bipartisan support for Ukraine to fierce tribal division. Continue Reading »

The Day Democrats Return To Wall Street  Submitted by QTR's Fringe Finance If there’s one thing the market has become spectacularly good at, it’s extrapolating today’s political environment out to infinity…and “pricing in” things (like the end of the Iran War, Trump Tax cuts, future rate cuts, etc.) over and over again until one day of bad news turns into a year of “market optimism” about things getting better, prompting the S&P to rally to new all-time highs 17 days in a row despite the fact that nothing has changed on the ground. And today, the market is acting as though Washington’s current regulatory philosophy, which appears to be pardon everyone who has ever committed obvious white collar fraud and take a “hands off” approach to new enforcement is simply...permanent. But it isn’t. I think one of the biggest risks investors aren’t even remotely considering is what happens if Democrats take back the House this fall, or even more importantly, win the White House in 2028? There’s a real chance this could lead to a wholesale repricing of the excesses that have flourished under an administration that has made it abundantly clear it would rather ... Continue Reading »

Meet The "New Soros" Whose "Street Cred" Could Rise If Spain Blocks Extradition The federal government is well underway with a multiagency and multinational effort to combat the alarming rise of far-left revolutionaries. This was most evident on Thursday, when Secretary of State Marco Rubio addressed delegations from 65 countries. Meanwhile, Jim "Fergie" Chambers, the communist centimillionaire and heir to the Cox media fortune, is apparently "one step closer to extradition" on federal charges linked to "international money laundering... with the intent to provide material support and resources to foreign terrorist organizations." Chambers is a major funder of America's radical Left and has been described by pro-Palestinian activist Laith Marouf as "the new Soros." Marouf warned that Chambers could gain significantly more influence and "street cred" if Spain refuses to extradite him to the U.S. City Journal investigative analyst Stu Smith provided additional color on Marouf's recent conversation, offering readers a clearer view of the major financiers and influence networks operating across the radical Left: Laith Marouf Warns Fergie Chambers Is "the New Soros" and Could Gain More "Street Cred" if Spain Refuses Extradition As left-wing activists demand "Freedom for Fergie," Laith Marouf is refusing ...

Traders Stunned By Momentum Meltdown As Earnings Quality Problem Simmers Under The Surface Authored by Lance Roberts via RealInvestmentAdvice.com, 📈Technical Backdrop – Coiling Below The Record Here is where the quiet-index story gets interesting for traders. The S&P 500 closed the week at 7,457.69, and that put it right on top of its 50-day moving average near 7,464. Call it dead flat against the line. The index still sits about 6.8% above its rising 200-day average near 6,985, so the primary uptrend remains fully intact, and it is roughly 2% below the June 2 record high of 7,620. Momentum on the index itself is neutral, not broken. The 14-day RSI reads 48.8, smack in the middle of its range and nowhere near oversold. The MACD is the wrinkle. It just rolled below its signal line for the first time since the April low, and the histogram flipped negative. That is a fresh bearish crossover. One crossover is not a sell signal, but it is exactly the kind of longer-term warning we watch for as a correction builds. The contrast between the index and the factor is the whole point. The Momentum ETF, MTUM, fell about 6% ... Continue Reading »

US-Iran Tit-For-Tat Spirals Towards Broader Conflict The escalation pathway in the renewed tit-for-tat conflict between the US and Iran is becoming increasingly alarming and has been underway for eight days. US forces reportedly struck Qeshm Island and the southern Iranian cities of Shadegan, Sirik and Hajiabad, while Tehran retaliated with drone and missile attacks targeting US bases and critical infrastructure across Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain, according to Bloomberg, citing Iranian state media. The latest escalation could open the door for Israel to rejoin the fight. Itamar Ben Gvir, an Israeli security cabinet minister, told listeners on Israeli radio that he hoped President Trump would strike Iran hard. Iran's latest attacks moved beyond military targets to now civilian infrastructure, which has been troubling. Kuwaiti Ministry of Electricity warned earlier today that its power and desalination plants have come under attack for the second straight day by Iranian projectiles.

French Gambling Regulator Orders ISPs To Block Polymarket Authored by Zoltan Vardai via CoinTelegraph.com, France’s Autorité nationale des jeux (ANJ), or the National Gambling Authority, has ordered internet service providers to block access to Polymarket. Prediction websites are considered illegal gambling, the ANJ said in a Friday press release. The regulator said that Polymarket’s operations are not authorized in France and that advertising unauthorized gambling sites constitutes a criminal offense with fines of up to 100,000 euros ($114,000). Prediction markets allow users to buy and sell contracts tied to the outcomes of future events, from elections and sporting events to economic data and geopolitical developments. Polymarket has surged in popularity over the past two years, with billions of dollars in trading volume, while drawing scrutiny from regulators over whether its event contracts constitute illegal gambling or unlicensed financial products. Countries that blocked access to Polymarket include Singapore, Poland, Portugal, Hungary, Ukraine, Brazil and Indonesia. At press time, Polymarket said it was geoblocked in 36 regions. France’s gambling regulator first shared plans to block the platform in November 2024 for failing to comply with national gambling laws. French gambling authority cites outcome manipulation concerns France’s gambling authority said Polymarket boasts “addictive features” that are similar to regulated gambling offerings, ...

Germany To Join French Nuclear Exercise, Deepening 'Counter-Russia' Deterrence In the latest development related to what some analysts have called the 'new Cold War' and nuclear saber-rattling between Russia and the West, Germany and France are planning a major nuclear exercise later this year. The atomic drills were announced Friday, after a joint top-level meeting of the French and German governments near Cologne. "Alongside this work on a shared doctrine, German conventional forces will this year take part in a nuclear exercise of the French military," German Chancellor Friedrich Merz unveiled.  picture alliance/dpa He detailed while at a press event alongside French President Emmanuel Macron that a "strategic steering group" established by the leading European allies would continue looking at deterrence in the future, with an eye on Russia. "This is complementary to our nuclear participation and deterrence within NATO, which we still hold to," he added. He also previewed "a maneuver in the autumn held on the initiative of France" - while speaking of the Ukraine war. "We will clarify together what form exactly this participation will take," he said. France is newly positioning itself at the forefront of nuclear deterrence for Europe, a role that ... Continue Reading »

Nearly Half Of Poles Now Want To Stop Arming Ukraine Authored by Andrew Korybko, The reason is Poles’ radically shifting views towards Ukraine since the start of their spiraling dispute sparked by Zelensky’s state-level glorification of the Volhynia Genocide’s OUN-UPA culprits. Leading Polish conservative newspaper Rzeczpospolita published the results of a survey that it commissioned showing that 45.2% of Poles now want to stop arming Ukraine. The majority are from the opposition, which includes conservative and libertarian-nationalist (populist in American political parlance) groups who a separate survey recently showed could form a coalition government after fall 2027’s next Sejm elections, and is almost three times larger than the 18.3% from December 2022. Krzysztof Bosak, one of the populist Confederation’s co-leaders, is quoted as reaffirming his party’s consistent policy of supporting conditional aid to Ukraine that tangibly advances Polish interests. Its rapid growth in popularity per the second-mentioned survey above is likely due to the public realizing that Confederation was right all along about Ukraine amidst their country’s spiraling dispute with it that was sparked by Zelensky’s state-level glorification of the Volhynia Genocide’s OUN-UPA culprits. This palpable sentiment is arguably responsible for why the conservative “Law & Justice” (PiS) opposition’s prime ... Continue Reading »

Iran's Reliance On China's Beidou Satellite System Is A Game-Changer In War With US Authored by former CIA officer Larry Johnson During the 12-day war in June 2025, Iranian missiles and drones struggled against sophisticated Israeli and American electronic warfare. GPS jamming and spoofing repeatedly disrupted their guidance systems, limiting their effectiveness during the intense 12-day conflict. Fast-forward to early 2026, and the battlefield dynamics had shifted dramatically. Iran’s precision strikes began threading through advanced air defenses, hitting high-value targets across the Gulf with surprising accuracy. Intelligence analysts pointed to one key factor: Iran had ditched GPS for China’s Beidou satellite navigation system. The US unwittingly provided the spark that ignited China’s quest for the Beidou. The story begins in 1993 when a single Chinese container ship, the Yinhe, sailing to Iran, the vessel was accused by the CIA of carrying chemicals for weapons production. Middle Eastern ports, under pressure from the US, refused entry and the ship was stranded in the Indian Ocean. The US not only pressured allies but reportedly disabled the ship's GPS access, forcing it to drop anchor for weeks. Inspections in Saudi Arabia eventually cleared the vessel, but China received ...

White DSA Member Inadvertently Exposes Socialist Playbook: "Secret Nazis" Are Fine If They Advance Agenda Far-left podcaster and Democratic Socialists of America member Emma Vigeland appeared to inadvertently expose the far-left movement's ends-justify-the-means political calculus: Even a "secret Nazi" would be acceptable if the candidate advanced a national socialist agenda. Vigeland, a former field reporter, producer, and commentator for The Young Turks and identified as a DSA member, also co-hosts The Majority Report with Sam Seder. She explained on a separate Vox podcast that she doesn't care if a progressive or socialist candidate has "Nazi" skeletons in their closet. "I am wary of over-focusing on an individual's personal character over their platform. You know, I've said this before. I don't really care if say like Bernie Sanders or AOC go home and they're a secret Nazi, but they go out and they vote for the right things. Like we're talking about politician," the DSA member said earlier this month. Vox host Astead Herndon was astonished by Vigeland's remarks, and asked: "You don't care?" DSA's Emma Vigeland says she “doesn’t care” if the candidates she supports are "secret Nazis" as long as they vote ... Continue Reading »

Election Integrity: Is Representative Democracy A Foolish Fantasy? Authored by Brandon Smith via Alt-Market.us The US Constitution is perhaps the most significant historical and governmental document in a millennia. It established the modern conception of the western Republic, along with true representative government designed to answer to the people rather than rule over the people. The Bill of Rights outlined clear restrictions on federal and state powers to legislate away the inherent and God given freedoms of the citizenry; an accomplishment which had been attempted in the past but was never truly realized until the war for independence and the creation of the United States. Until that moment, the idea that common men answer to authority and authority answers to no one was the accepted norm. It’s a document and an ideal that gave birth to an epoch. However, our constitutional republic was created based on conditions that, frankly, no longer exist. The American population was 95% Christian. The implementation of “patriarchy” was widespread and embraced as the most solid foundation for society. Meritocracy was absolute. Cultural identity was rooted in western civilization without any deviation or distraction. Marxism did not exist. Atheism was ... Continue Reading »

Welcome To Trillionistan; Don't Get Comfortable... Authored by Peter C. Earle via The Daily Economy, Not long ago, the notion of trillions belonged either to the furthest cosmic reaches of the universe or the submicroscopic world of atoms. These numbers describe galaxies in the observable universe, roughly two trillion, or, at the opposite extreme, the picosecond - one trillionth of a second - is used to measure molecular motion and chemical reactions. Until recently, magnitudes denominated in trillions were almost entirely confined to the theoretical hinterlands of astronomy, physics, and schoolyard exaggeration. Today, trillion-dollar quantities have become commonplace in economic and financial life. At least 12 American companies boast trillion-dollar market capitalizations, with Apple approaching $5 trillion. BlackRock now manages more than $15 trillion in assets. The largest technology firms, cumulatively, measure their investments in the trillions as they build data centers, semiconductor capacity, and power systems on an unprecedented scale. SpaceX's 2026 initial public offering valued the company at more than $1.7 trillion, and its subsequent surge briefly pushed Elon Musk's paper wealth above $1 trillion. Billionistan opened its gates in 1901, when JP Morgan assembled US Steel into the world's ... Continue Reading »

Flock Safety Defends Cameras After AI System Triggers Wrongful Police Stops Of Two Journalists Plymouth, Minnesota - Automotive journalist Joel Feder and his wife were detained by multiple police officers in a coordinated stop while driving a Jaguar Land Rover press vehicle, after Flock Safety's automated license plate recognition (ALPR) cameras flagged the car based on a flawed database entry. Screenshot Plymouth Police Department via The Drive According to Feder's detailed account in The Drive, officers boxed in the $155,000 Range Rover in a Kohl's parking lot after the vehicle triggered alerts via Flock's network. Police had been tracking it for days, believing the New Jersey manufacturer plate (34 10 DTM) was stolen. Officers approached with hands on their weapons, ordered the couple out of the vehicle, and conducted pat-downs before verifying the car's legitimacy through Jaguar Land Rover. Feder subsequently obtained and published the body camera footage of the encounter. The incident stemmed from an incomplete report of a similar plate (34 03 DTM) lost during a photo shoot in California, which was entered into the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) database simply as "34 DTM." Flock's AI system matched Feder's plate - ... Continue Reading »

The View's Sunny Hostin Hates 'Privilege'... Except For Her Own Authored by Andrea Widberg via AmericanThinker.com, No one hates “privilege” more than Sunny Hostin. The slightly black co-host of The View, who earns $2 million annually and lives with her orthopedic surgeon husband in a 12,000-square-foot New York City apartment, repeatedly castigates those—usually white—who exercise their “privilege.” However, when it came to throwing her weight around with the cops to protect her son from allegedly illegal conduct, the whole idea of “privilege” vanished from Hostin’s mind. Hostin, a former federal prosecutor with a pretty face, landed herself a gig on The View, a show that is aggressively woke. In that context, Hostin often complains about privilege—all kinds of privilege that imply that talent and hard work are meaningless. Here are some notable examples: In April 2019, when he was running for the Democrat nomination, Pete Buttigieg made obeisance to the race and sex hustlers by reflecting on his “white privilege or male privilege.” Hostin was thrilled that Buttigieg had this empathetic insight into his privilege. In May 2024, while the shrews...er, hostesses were discussing Caitlin Clark, Hostin stated, “I do think that there is ... Continue Reading »

DC Circuit Gives Trump A Huge Election Integrity Victory On Mail-In Ballots On Friday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit issued a temporary order allowing the Postal Service to move forward with a proposed rule requiring states to verify voter registration data before mailing federal election ballots. A three-judge panel, ruling per curiam, granted USPS's request to stay a district court injunction that had blocked the rule earlier this month in a lawsuit brought by the NAACP. 🚨 The D.C. Circuit has temporarily allowed the U.S. Postal Service to move forward with its proposed election-mail rule requiring states to submit voter lists and serialized ballot barcodes before USPS will mail federal ballots, staying a district judge's order. pic.twitter.com/MRfGcBWa8S — SCOTUS Wire (@scotus_wire) July 17, 2026 The panel decided the challenge was premature since the rule remains in proposed form, and it found the measure unlikely to violate the 2021 agreement obligating USPS to prioritize timely delivery of election mail through 2028. The D.C. Circuit granted a stay pending appeal, ruling that the appellants had met the "stringent requirements" required to pause the lower court's order while the case ... Continue Reading »

Academia Embarrasses Itself... Again Authored by J.B. Shurk via American Thinker, Over at Twitchy, a publication that curates the news in funny yet insightful ways, a headline reads, “Head of Medical School Tells Congresswoman the Vast Majority of Pregnancies Occur in Women.”  Sure enough, Twitchy is telling the truth. During witness testimony before a congressional committee examining the impact of forced “diversity,” preferential (non-merit-based) admissions, and “woke” ideology upon the quality of medical schools, the chancellor of UC San Francisco testified under oath that not all pregnancies come from women.  That chancellor, Samuel Hawgood, is not some administrative bureaucrat with a made-up bachelor’s degree in the discriminatory effects of man-made “climate change” upon “transgender” Pakistanis (and an obligatory master’s in why American taxpayers must foot the bill for all “sex change” surgeries around the world).  No, Hawgood is an actual pediatrician who previously served as UCSF’s dean of the School of Medicine.  A man who did his residency at the Royal Women’s and Children’s Hospital in Brisbane cannot tell us how babies are made. It is astounding to watch just how far down the propaganda rabbit hole so-called “institutions of higher learning” have dragged society.  Until very recently, this kind of public ...

"We've Burned Through All Buffers": Oil Traders Warn Market Running On Fumes Brent crude futures jumped a little more than 4% to nearly $88 a barrel, putting the crude oil benchmark on track for its biggest weekly gain since April. That move followed an Axios report that said the Trump administration had notified Israel it was deploying additional aerial assets to the region, signaling the US military could expand strikes on Iran as soon as this weekend. Financial Times spoke with energy traders at the end of the week who warned that slowing tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz could trigger a more severe supply crunch than the first round of the US-Iran war because emergency reserves and stockpiles around the world that cushioned the earlier disruption have been mostly depleted. "We've burned through all of the buffers we had. Everything," said one trader. "All of that's now gone.

"Start Spreadin' The News": New York Losing Billions As Millionaires Flee Big Apple Authored by Jonathan Turley, Below is my column in the New York Post on the sharp decline in millionaires in New York, costing the state billions as many flee. The exodus has been building for years but may now be accelerating. As Mayor Mamdani holds another press conference promising to end the “violence of evictions,” businesses are reading the writing on the wall. Rather than work to make the state more attractive to wealthy residents and businesses, Democrats are seeking to diminish the appeal of two-tax states. They want to tap into a long-barred area of taxation: the wealth rather than just the income of citizens. By passing a national wealth tax, Democrats will reduce the benefit of fleeing high-tax states like California and New York. “Start spreadin’ the news, I’m leavin’ today” — that’s how the famous song “New York, New York”  captures the Big Apple’s draw. Today, the line is becoming more ironic than iconic: Many people are indeed leaving … from New York, New York. Worse yet, those “vagabond shoes” that “are longing to stray” are on the feet of the wealthiest ... Continue Reading »

FCC Head Carr Moves To Reshape TV Ownership Rules, Save Local Broadcasting From Being 'Mouthpieces' The Federal Communications Commission is preparing to scrap longstanding national limits on television station ownership - a regulatory overhaul that Chairman Brendan Carr says will give local outlets critical breathing room to compete and invest in community journalism - instead of being 'Hollywood mouthpieces.' The agency is scheduled to vote on August 6 to eliminate the ownership caps in favor of a flexible, case-by-case approach for reviewing deals. Carr detailed the plan in a Breitbart News op-ed, arguing the change will help local broadcasters counter the growing influence of national programmers. "Repealing the national cap will provide essential relief for local broadcasters by restoring a healthy counterbalance to the growing leverage of national programmers. Increased scale will enable broadcasters to attract the capital and advertising revenue needed to sustain and produce trusted and community-focused news and programming," Carr wrote. Carr warned that inaction would risk repeating mistakes seen in another corner of local media. "If the FCC does not act, we do not need to imagine the bleak media future ahead. Just look at local newspapers. Much like the ... Continue Reading »
