The stock footage from the outset of the French riots is unusable. It’s now devolved into a maelstrom of looting, vandalism, and mayhem — all spurred by Muslim migrants who have decided to destroy France. The media are trying to couch this as an offshoot of the ongoing ‘yellow vest’ movement, which is a student protest over the cost of living and education funding. That narrative dies when the rioters are waving communist and Palestinian flags.
It’s Temu Les Misérables. The media will continue peddling the ‘it’s a bunch of students’ line, but the footage shows the real story. The clip of the French leftists shook, aghast, and broken over how the protests devolved into a campaign of destruction.
This is what you get when you let anyone in, and suicidal empathy replaces policy and sound judgment. On top of this, we have an NFL game being played in Sade de France in Paris — not the best timing. That complicates the security situation, and with hordes of fans entering the stadium for the game next Sunday, would you be surprised if the rabble forced their way in?
French President Emmanuel Macron did what most French leaders have done in modern history when a crisis arises: nothing. He went to a concert, goaded the rioters into trying to get him, and then took to the airwaves to deliver whatever the hell this is:
NOW - Macron addresses the nation, calling for order and says that the youth of France are "expressing great anguish and concern about the future... we need to pay heed to what they are saying and we must not minimise the hardships that they are facing." https://t.co/BuzUKKduMa

The ‘we’ll be safe behind the Maginot Line’ mindset didn’t save you in 1940, and it won’t in 2026. The rioting isn’t about fuel prices. It has everything to do with immigration. Because that’s a Trump talking point and a fact, the media will try to bury this story.
But you can’t suffocate this with a pillow.
Trump with a message for France: “What's happening in France has to do with immigration — not schools, not anything — it's immigration. I told Macron, 'Close up your borders!'" https://t.co/8n2cxwh14v
