THE TRUTH HURTS, GREAT SIGN OUTSIDE RESTAURANTANT!

People are irate about a cowboy’s very blunt sign as they try to remove it — BIG mistake

eople are irate about a cowboy’s very blunt sign as they try to remove it — BIG mistake

A Florida seafood restaurant owner was so fed up with what he’d seen that he got off the fence for the first time to share exactly how he felt by posting four blunt phrases on the sign outside his business.

Not concerned with who he would offend, he got more than he expected when certain people saw it, but the cowboy had a surprise for them.

People are irate about a cowboy's very blunt sign as they try to remove it — BIG mistake

William “Bill” Davis has been in the business of serving the people of Sarasota the freshest seafood around and providing friendly customer service for years at Barnacle Bill’s Seafood Restaurant. Being in a public business, Bill said he’s always kept his opinions to himself but couldn’t do it anymore after seeing what Democrats were trying to do.

The conservative didn’t want any liberals telling him how to live, so he put a special message on his marquee. To say that it didn’t go over well with those who have different political views is a bit of an understatement. When those who oppose his sentiments tried to retaliate, it backfired on them.

WASTE FROM WIND FARMS IS A PLAGUE FOR COUNTRIES WHO FELL FOR IT!

Wind Waste Plagues Countries That Shelled Out for “Green Energy”

—Across Europe, countries that once went all in on wind power are now grappling with impending piles of discarded turbine parts and scrambling to find ways to recycle them, The Guardian reports.

One Scottish town is already struggling under the weight of wind turbine waste as other countries like Germany, Spain and Italy are investing in recycling efforts after pledging major investments in wind power, The Guardian reported. Europe has 14,000 wind turbines to dismantle by 2030, which will leave them with 44,000 to 66,000 tons of unrecyclable blade waste, according to WindEurope.

“Wind energy not only has a reliability problem; it has a recycling problem. … Proponents in Scotland and here in the U.S. say these structures have a 20-year lifespan. But many stop working within five to 10 years,” Director of Independent Women’s Center for Energy and Conservation Gabriella Hoffman told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

“The wind industry has a massive problem on their hands with turbine parts piling up in landfills. Trust in the industry is waning, since it’s a part-time energy source that produces expensive energy while utilizing large swaths of land. Wind energy is weather-dependent and can’t replace natural gas, nuclear, or coal to meet rising electricity demand. The U.K. must quit its addiction to net-zero and adopt an energy abundance posture.”

Several European countries, including Scotland, Germany, Spain, and Italy, have pledged to reach net-zero emissions by 2050 and are working to meet specific targets for wind-generated energy on their grids. Several companies across the industry are working with some government bodies to develop a new generation of wind turbine blades that are easier to recycle, according to The Guardian.

America may also face mass amounts of blade waste by 2050, according to a 2020 Electric Power Research Institute projection.

While the Biden administration pushed for both wind and solar power, the Trump administration has recently taken a tougher stance on wind, with the Department of the Interior (DOI) announcing that it will no longer grant the industry the “preferential treatment” that former President Joe Biden supported.

Notably, wind turbine waste has also been scattered across Texas, with some residents voicing concerns to a local outlet in 2023 over the potential hazards and rattlesnake infestations.

ISLAMIZATION OF HOUSTON TEXAS-ANY BODY NOTICING?

Islamization of Texas: Terror-Linked Pakistani Group Seizes Houston Streets for Prophet Muhammad Parade (Video) September 19, 2025

Houston’s parade for Islam’s prophet’s birthday, led by Dawat-e-Islami, was a power play — seizing American streets while hiding an extremist agenda behind charity.

In Houston, city streets were surrendered to Eid Milaad un Nabi — an Islamic holiday celebrating the Prophet Muhammad’s birthday. Activists promote it as a harmless cultural festival, but it is nothing of the sort.

This is not an American tradition. It is a political-religious spectacle glorifying Muhammad — remembered not as a man of peace, but as a warlord who expanded power through conquest, enforced submission by the sword, silenced dissent, married a child, and built a system that left no space for freedom of conscience.

No one grew up in America watching armies of Muslims march down our streets — blasting music, waving Islamic flags, seizing public space in the name of their prophet. That was not America. But it is now.

 

This is what Islamization looks like:

  • First, the streets. Public space is claimed under the cover of “cultural celebration.”
  • Then, normalization. Politicians cheer it on, terrified to say no.
  • Finally, acceleration. Each march, each parade, each flag plant speeds up the process of domination.

Islamic parades in the West are not neutral. They are demonstrations of visibility, power, and ownership. When Dawat-e-Islami shut down blocks of Houston for its procession, it was not simply celebrating — it was planting a flag. The message was unmistakable: these streets now belong to us.

Such displays were never part of American life. Streets filled with Islamic flags, chants, and slogans mark a transformation. What was once unimaginable in the United States is now becoming reality.

Look at Europe. Look at London. Look at Paris. The same parades and “celebrations” marked the beginning of cultural conquest. Entire neighborhoods soon followed, living under parallel Islamic authority.

Muhammad is being glorified on American soil. Politicians remain silent as a jihadi who slaughtered Jews and Christians is praised in our streets. Families are forced to watch Houston morph into another imported stronghold of Islamic power.

This is raw power and control, unfolding openly in front of us.


Who is Behind It? Dawat-e-Islami

The march was organized by Dawat-e-Islami, a Pakistan-founded Islamic movement now operating as a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit in the United States. It runs 13 centers across America and presents itself as a purely religious and educational charity.

But beneath that veneer lies a record that should alarm every American:

  • Links to assassins and extremists.
    • The murderer of Pakistani governor Salman Taseer was reported to have ties to Dawat-e-Islami.A French-Pakistani who stabbed two people outside Charlie Hebdo’s old offices in 2020 was described by his own father as a disciple of Dawat-e-Islami’s founder, Ilyas Qadri — whom the attacker himself named as his ‘guide.’ Qadri has openly declared: ‘All Muslim scholars agree that a blasphemer must be killed… if a lover of the Prophet kills a blasphemer extra-judicially, the killer is not executed.’
Ilyas Qadri
  • In India, police linked one of the men who beheaded a Hindu tailor in Udaipur to training at a Dawat-e-Islami center in Pakistan.
  • Glorification of violence. Dawat-e-Islami-affiliated media has published tributes to blasphemy killers as “holy warriors,” reinforcing the ideology that dissent from Islam deserves death.
  • Antisemitic and sectarian rhetoric. In the U.K., DEI apologized after distributing a leaflet describing a former synagogue as a “place of worship of non-believers.”

South Asian Islam has long been split between the Deobandi and Barelvi sects. Deobandis are behind groups like the Taliban and Jaish-e-Muhammad, which dominate global jihad networks. Western analysts often point to the Barelvis as the ‘moderate’ foil — but Dawat-e-Islami proves this narrative false.

But the danger of Dawat-e-Islami is not limited to individuals inspired to commit violence. Its entire ideological foundation — rooted in the Barelvi sect — carries a darker agenda often hidden beneath charitable campaigns and spiritual language.

These incidents are symptoms of a deeper problem: the ideology baked into Dawat-e-Islami itself.

The Barelvi Mask

Dawat-e-Islami is rooted in the Barelvi sect of Islam, a movement often portrayed in the West as a “moderate” counterbalance to Deobandi or Salafi extremism. Yet in practice, Dawat-e-Islami has shown itself to be anything but moderate.

Behind occasional charitable campaigns — blood drives, food rations, and aid programs — lies a hardline agenda. DeI openly commits itself to the enforcement of sharia law, describing polytheism as a “heinous act” punishable by “the most admonitory and worst form of death.” Its founder, Ilyas Qadri, instructs followers that boycotting Jewish products is not enough; Muslims must avoid even imitating Jewish behavior.

In DeI’s own teachings, participation in jihad is presented as an obligation, with preachers like Muhammad Qasim Attari quoting scripture demanding Muslims join battles for Islam’s cause. While Western audiences are told the group is “non-political,” its literature and sermons push an uncompromising ideological program.

The organization also enforces cult-like discipline. American preachers loyal to Qadri have declared that anyone who deviates from the Dawat-e-Islami line risks excommunication and “should worry about his hereafter.” Even other Muslims are not safe: Ahmadiyya Muslims are denounced as heretics, with Barelvi lobbying helping entrench the death penalty for Ahmadis in Pakistan. Abroad, Dawat-e-Islami followers have attacked or killed those they deem apostates — including Asad Shah, a Scottish Ahmadi shopkeeper murdered in 2016 by a DeI adherent.

It was another Barelvi cleric, Tahir ul-Qadri, who played a central role in introducing Pakistan’s capital punishment laws for blasphemy — legislation that has fueled systematic persecution of Christians and Ahmadis, showing that the Barelvi movement weaponizes law as readily as it unleashes mobs.

DeI’s record across Europe is equally disturbing. At a “Day of the Prophet” rally in Offenbach, Germany, DeI speakers celebrated the assassination of Pakistani governor Salman Taseer and openly endorsed the killing of blasphemers. In 2020, Zaheer Hassan Mahmoud, a DeI member, stabbed two people outside the former offices of Charlie Hebdo in Paris.

In 2017, Khatme Nubuwwat — a Barelvi-linked network dedicated to eradicating the Ahmadiyya faith — held a conference in Virginia, backed by American mosques. Speakers warned of supposed Ahmadi ‘conspiracies’ and openly discussed lobbying to criminalize the Ahmadi religion in the United States. Though formally distinct from Dawat-e-Islami, Khatme Nubuwwat draws from the same Barelvi ideology — proof that sectarian hatred is not confined to Pakistan or Europe, but is being incubated on U.S. soil.

This is the same organization operating as a tax-exempt charity in the United States, running 13 centers, including in Houston.

Despite all this, Dawat-e-Islami is not banned in the U.S. or other Western countries. It exploits nonprofit protections, tax exemptions, and the language of “charity” to expand its reach, even as individuals connected to it repeatedly show up in cases of jihadist violence.


The Bigger Picture

What happened in Houston isn’t just about one parade. It is a test. Every time American cities hand over their streets, their permits, and their public spaces for the glorification of Muhammad, the process of Islamization accelerates.

Europe has already shown us where this road leads: parallel societies, political intimidation, religious enforcement, and ultimately the collapse of national identity.

Dawat-e-Islami has already planted itself in America under the guise of charity. Houston was the latest warning. The question now is whether Americans will force their politicians to confront this threat in our streets — or keep looking away until it’s too late.

WHAT DOES LAUREN SANCHEZ-BEZOS BUY WITH HER MONEY?

By the time Lauren Sánchez was romantically linked to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, she had already been in the public eye for decades. She was a news anchor and reporter in major markets like Los Angeles and Phoenix, later making waves nationally while appearing on Fox Sports programming and the syndicated showbiz news program “Extra.” She also appeared in several film productions and even served as the original host of Fox’s now long-running hit reality show, “So You Think You Can Dance.” Sánchez was previously involved in other high-profile relationships, too, including her marriage to Hollywood super-agent and Endeavor founder Patrick Whitesell in 2005. As such, her various comings and goings — and the ways in which she spends her money — have been major discussion points for some time.

Now, though, after being in a relationship with Bezos for several years and finally marrying the tech giant in 2025, her spending habits are in the spotlight like never before. As tracked by Forbes, Bezos’ net worth recently crossed the $200 billion threshold; to say that he and Sánchez have some disposable income would be the understatement of the millennium. So, what does the famous wife of one of the richest people on the planet spend their money on? Here’s a roundup of some of Sánchez’s noteworthy purchases.

Handbags can be a necessity for a girl on the go, or anybody, really, as they navigate the rigors of daily life. However, the right kind of handbag can also serve as the perfect accessory to a fashion-forward fit, combining function with form to elevate their overall aesthetic. Over the years, Sánchez has exemplified this as well as anybody, toting an array of designer bags, many of which cost a pretty penny. During the multi-day event that was hers and Bezos’ nuptial extravaganza in Venice, Italy, Sánchez was snapped carrying a bag to put just about every other bag one might see in the wild to shame. Specifically, the new Mrs. Bezos boasted a rare version of Hermès’ iconic Kelly purse, known as the Kelly Midas.

Daniel Englander, a luxury resale expert, told Page Six in July 2025 that the crocodile-skin version retails for a whopping $170,000, while those made from more exotic materials can fetch as much as a quarter of a million. “The name draws inspiration from King Midas, the mythical Greek figure cursed with the golden touch — everything he touches turns to gold,” Englander explained to the outlet. “The bag itself embodies this myth: its handle is partially crafted from real 18-karat gold, and the hardware is also made of solid gold. Visually, it looks as though King Midas himself just laid hands on it, and it’s beginning to transform before your eyes.”

She is also rumored to have placed a bid on an original Birkin

Sánchez’s handbag obsession goes well beyond simply carrying the top purses churned out by the designers of today. She reportedly angled to acquire one of the most unique and iconic handbags in recent fashion history as well. In July 2025, the first-ever Hermès Birkin bag, inspired by actress-singer Jane Birkin in the 1980s during a chance encounter between Birkin and Hermès CEO Jean-Louis Dumas on a flight from London to Paris, went up for auction at Sotheby’s in Paris. The bag, which was owned by Birkin herself, drew bids from celebrities and people of extreme wealth from around the world.

As noted by the Robb Report, the bag ultimately fetched a winning bid of €8.5 million, then the equivalent of $10.1 million, from a private collector in Japan after a 10-minute battle between nine individuals. A source told the outlet that Sánchez was the runner-up in the bidding war. Meanwhile, ARTnews received similar information from its own sources. Although Sánchez’s reps denied the story, her involvement in other high-profile, high-dollar auctions has been well-documented, including a head-to-head battle with a member of the Kardashian family.

Ever the fashion bug, Lauren Sánchez has been snapped wearing a myriad of fabulous frocks from the world’s most prominent designers since becoming a part of the celebrity world. However, she stepped up her game since becoming Jeff Bezos’ better half. Despite the resources at her disposal, though, getting her hands on the most stylish dresses hasn’t always come easy for Sánchez. At the Kering Foundation’s third annual Caring for Women charity dinner held during New York Fashion Week, for example, Sánchez found herself competing with Kim Kardashian for a Balenciaga dress that was up for auction. Kardashian recalled the incident for Sánchez’s November 2023 Vogue feature.

“I’m a big auction girl,” Kardashian said, “and my strategy was to come in last minute.” Instead, she found herself in a bidding war with Sánchez, prompting Kardashian to propose amid the hubbub that the two women share the dress. In the end, Kering arranged for two dresses to be made, with Sánchez and Kardashian paying $200,000 apiece for their respective gowns and traveling to Paris together for their fittings. “Lauren and I are always sending DMs building each other up,” Kardashian added. “Every time there’s a look that we like, she’ll say, ‘WOW,’ or, ‘OMG you look amazing.’ She’s such a girl’s girl.”

Sánchez’s wedding dress likely cost a small fortune

Few occasions draw as much attention in the lives of, well, just about anybody, as weddings, and that goes double for ceremonies involving world-famous celebrities. Given Bezos’ status as the creator of Amazon and one of the wealthiest people in the history of the world, one could probably refer to his and Sánchez’s nuptials as the wedding of the century without receiving much pushback for the proclamation. The weekend event in Venice, Italy, was attended by A-listers from every walk of life, including icons of entertainment and sports like Oprah Winfrey, Tom Brady, Orlando Bloom, and multiple Kardashians. At the center of the glitzy affair was Sánchez, the beautiful bride, in a wedding dress that attempted to put all others to shame.

Sánchez reportedly enlisted Dolce & Gabbana to make her a wedding dress inspired by the gown worn by Sophia Loren in the 1958 film, “Houseboat.” So, the legendary fashion house created a high lace neck mermaid line gown that included 180 hand-finished, silk chiffon-covered buttons; a dress that reportedly took over 1,900 hours to make. While identifying an exact price for the dress is difficult, SheKnows deduced that it may have been similar in price to couture-level gowns like the one from Oscar de la Renta worn by Amal Clooney. Using that as a guideline, the outlet estimated Sánchez’s dress likely ran in the $250,000 to $400,000 range.

A lucky charm necklace she wore sells for as much as a new car

As the old saying goes, diamonds are a girl’s best friend, and Lauren Sánchez has a lot of them. Perhaps the most recognizable piece of diamond-encrusted jewelry she owns, though, is the “lucky charm” necklace from the New York City-based brand Marlo Laz that she wore while sharing details about her 2025 Blue Origin space flight in a video posted to Instagram. As reported by Business Insider, the all-woman flight included such luminaries as Sánchez’s friend and chart-topping pop star Katy Perry, aerospace engineer Aisha Bowe, film producer Kerianne Flynn, fellow journalist Gayle King, and activist Amanda Nguyen, and the necklace’s message could be applied to their journey together.

According to the maker, the necklace’s “Porte Bonheur” charm represents “Luck, Happiness, and All Good Things,” and features raised gold writing and a white diamond centerpiece on a flowing, shaped coin. Meanwhile, the chain’s pave clasp features an array of F-G VS1-VS2 diamonds. Per Business Insider, the ensemble was valued at just over $18,000 at the time of the outlet’s report. Clearly, if one is going to space, doing so in a diamond that costs as much as a car is the way to do it.

Sánchez regularly sports shades that cost more than many earn in a week

Even the simplest, seemingly run-of-the-mill items can be of the couture ilk if they’re produced by the right people. For her part, Sánchez is often snapped sporting the best of the best, from her high-end handbags and incredible variety of gleaming adornments to her sunglasses, which have also managed to be a source for tabloid headlines. As reported by the Daily Mail in 2022, Sánchez combined a $28,500 Jacquie Aiche necklace combo and a $105,000 Birkin bag with a $1,045 pair of Cartier sunglasses while on a London getaway with Bezos. Of course, designer shades are regularly a part of Sánchez’s swanky stylings.

As reported by Business Insider, Sánchez was rocking a pair of $510 sunglasses from Celine when she and Bezos arrived in Venice ahead of their multi-million-dollar wedding celebration. Later on, she accessorized one of her more conservative looks — a knee-length skirt and a button-down top from Dior — with Tom Ford sunglasses that reportedly run a cool $505 as she and Bezos left the Aman hotel for a pre-wedding excursion. If one is looking to protect their peepers and has the means to do so in style, Sánchez is a sterling example of how to show out.

The birthday bash Sánchez threw for Jeff Bezos’ 60th was epic

Although there has been a considerable focus on Lauren Sánchez’s rather expensive pursuit of high fashion here, she has also used her fortune to spoil her husband, Jeff Bezos. Such was the case in January 2024 when she went all out to honor her new beau with a 60th birthday bash for the ages at their Beverly Hills mansion. Not only was the gathering a veritable who’s who of Hollywood and celebrity royalty — according to Page Six, Jay-Z, Beyonce, Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, Ciara, and Russell Wilson were among the gaggle of stars on hand — but it was also a massive production to recognize Bezos’ life achievements.

Page Six was told by a source that Sánchez had “an almost exact replica of Jeff’s first Amazon office, which was in a garage,” erected on site. Additional nods to Bezos’ rags-to-riches reportedly included McDonald’s being served to commemorate Bezos’ first job with the fast-food giant at age 16; they also had caviar. Finally, guests were treated to a performance from the Black Eyed Peas, who were brought on stage by Sánchez herself. There’s no telling what it cost to put all of that together, but it’s safe to say that it wasn’t cheap.

Both aviators, she and Bezos bought an $80 million private jet

One of the things that drew Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos together as their relationship blossomed was their shared love of aviation. For her part, Sánchez is a licensed pilot, and Bezos is getting into the act, too, having learned how to fly a helicopter (although not always to Sánchez’s liking, apparently). “I’ve realized that when I’m in the back of the helicopter when he’s flying, I just kind of have to look out the window, just kind of enjoy the scenery,” Sánchez said of her backseat pilot tendencies during a 2022 CNN interview, via KTVZ. “I’m like, ‘No, no. Pull up. Okay. Okay, Slow down.’ But he’s very good.”

While the multi-billionaire couple loves to fly themselves, they typically take to the skies via private jets. To that end, Bezos and Sánchez reportedly spent $80 million on a Gulfstream G700 that can almost crack the speed of sound when it’s in flight, according to the New York Post and other outlets. John Schreiber snapped a picture of the jet in September 2024, noting via X that its exact top speed checks in at Mach 0.935, “making it the fastest jet in Gulfstream’s lineup,” according to the photojournalist.

Luxe vacations are a regular part of the Bezoses routine

Make no mistake, Sánchez and Bezos are movers and shakers in business as well as their lives outside the boardroom. And, if one is determined to own multiple private jets, one probably ought to use them for business and pleasure. Alas, that appears to be exactly what the power couple is doing, taking getaways to exotic locales around the globe. They reportedly took their extended honeymoon to the Spanish island of Ibiza, where they danced, hiked, and took in beachy views. They also had a date night in Saint-Tropez, France, in the days after exchanging their I do’s, reportedly dining at Cherry along the way, a high-end restaurant.

These sorts of excursions aren’t just limited to the honeymoon experience, though. As reported by People, Bezos and Sánchez took the latter’s children on a family trip to Japan in April 2024. “Japan, you’ve stolen our hearts,” Sánchez wrote of the vacation in a since-deleted Instagram post. “Those early morning walks under cherry blossoms, exploring ancient temples, and yes, the best sushi on a conveyor belt ever. It felt like living a dream we never wanted to wake up from.”

The couple bought a 14-acre estate on Maui

Where wealth is amassed, so, too, must a bustling real estate profile ultimately crop up, and Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez are doing better than most in that department. Although they’ve purchased some big-ticket items, the most expensive things that Bezos and Sánchez own are, by and large, their various homes around the U.S. As of 2018, Bezos was one of the largest private landowners in the U.S. Among the purchases he and Sánchez have made in the years since that report is a 14-acre estate on Maui in the Hawaiian Islands.

Per a November 2021 report from Realtor.com, the couple purchased the compound in an off-market transaction that reportedly cost something in the neighborhood of $78 million. The La Perouse Bay property, known as the Carter estate, was previously owned by Advanced Energy co-founder Doug Schatz. It reportedly includes a 4,500-square-foot main house, a 1,700-square-foot guesthouse, and a 700-square-foot pool, further encompassing seven parcels of land that also include a fishpond with a private, white-sand beach. Other features include an outdoor kitchen with a fire pit and, of course, some spectacular ocean views.

Sánchez likes to write out of her $165 million mansion purchased from a record mogul in 2020

As one might expect, the homes that Sánchez and her billionaire husband invest their money in are the biggest and best a couple could get. However, the home they purchased from entertainment mogul David Geffen is perhaps the most extravagant of the couple’s considerable holdings. Purchased in 2020 for a Los Angeles area record-breaking $165 million, the nine-acre estate was originally built for former Warner Bros. head Jack Warner in the 1930s, according to the Los Angeles Times. Geffen, who had owned the home since 1990, apparently once remarked that the property bore a striking resemblance to the Palace of Versailles.

In a since-deleted video shared via Instagram, Sánchez offered her fans a glimpse at her writing nook inside the home amid the release of her children’s book, “The Fly Who Flew.” “I’m taking you to where I write almost every day,” she said in the video, via SFGate. “When I was a reporter in a newsroom, it was just packed with people, and you had to write with all this commotion going on, and I got really used to it, and I love it, and sometimes I do go somewhere like a coffee shop to write. But I’ve had a little writer’s block with the second book, and I noticed that if I have a really calm, peaceful place, I’m able to let all my ideas float through me easier than I could in a group.”

$1 TRILLION PAY PACKAGE FOR MUSK!!!!

Tesla Board Proposes Musk Pay Package Worth as Much as $1 Trillion Over Decade

CEO would receive shares in tranches dependent on milestones including $8.5 trillion market cap

  • Tesla’s board asks investors to approve a new pay package for Elon Musk, potentially worth $1 trillion over 10 years.

  • The maximum payout, a 12% stake, hinges on Tesla reaching an $8.5 trillion market cap and other business goals.

  • Shareholders will vote Nov. 6 on the proposal, which could raise Musk’s stake to 29% and boost his voting power.

An artificial-intelligence tool created this summary, which was based on the text of the article and checked by an editor. Read more about how we use artificial intelligence in our journalism.

  • Tesla’s board asks investors to approve a new pay package for Elon Musk, potentially worth $1 trillion over 10 years.

    board is asking investors to approve a new pay package for Chief Executive Elon Musk that could be worth as much as $1 trillion over the next decade.

The proposed arrangements could see Musk, already the world’s wealthiest individual, awarded various installments of shares dependent on Tesla hitting a series of milestones, according to a financial filing published Friday.

The maximum payout would represent a 12% stake in the company, contingent on milestones including Tesla reaching a market capitalization of $8.5 trillion. At that market value, such a stake would be worth slightly more than $1 trillion. Tesla’s current market value is just over $1 trillion.

“Retaining and incentivizing Elon is fundamental to Tesla…becoming the most valuable company in history,” Tesla Chair Robyn Denholm said in a letter to investors. The package was “designed to align extraordinary long-term shareholder value with incentives that will drive peak performance from our visionary leader.”

The proposal would lift Musk’s stake in the electric-vehicle maker to as much as 29% if all of the targets are met, according to the filing, also boosting his voting power.

Tesla shares rose 2% in premarket trading Friday.

In addition to market-cap milestones, payouts would depend on Musk hitting business and financial targets. These include delivering 20 million Tesla vehicles and a million robots, as well as putting a million robotaxis into commercial operation. A fourth product goal is for Tesla to secure 10 million subscribers for its Full Self Driving service.

The most challenging financial goal is for Tesla to generate $400 billion of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. It reported $16.645 billion in adjusted Ebitda for 2024.

The filing also included a shareholder proposal for Tesla to invest in Musk’s artificial-intelligence startup, xAI. Musk has repeatedly mobilized his business empire to boost xAI, with SpaceX agreeing in July to invest $2 billion in it. Tesla’s board didn’t offer a recommendation on how investors should vote.

Musk floated the idea in July, writing on his social-media platform X: “If it was up to me, Tesla would have invested in xAI long ago.”

Shareholders are due to vote on the proposals on Nov. 6.

Tesla didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment Friday.

Musk’s 2018 pay deal was struck down by a Delaware judge, who said the process was deeply flawed and criticized the company’s board for a lack of transparency.

Tesla’s directors said the then-record stock-option deal, which amounted to more than $55 billion in compensation, was necessary to keep Musk focused on the carmaker amid a slump in sales and increased competition from overseas. He has run the company without a pay package since then, though last month the Tesla board approved a stock award for Musk that it tentatively valued at $23.7 billion.

Besides Tesla, Musk oversees xAI, SpaceX, Neuralink, X and the Boring Company.

In recent years, some Tesla investors started to question the CEO’s commitment to the company, as Musk dedicated more of his time and energy to political causes. In 2022, he completed a $44 billion takeover of Twitter. Musk, a self-described “free speech absolutist,” spent an increasing amount of time posting on the platform.

Musk later cozied up to President Trump, donating vast sums to his election campaign and eventually acting as a close White House adviser.

That relationship eventually soured.

WALL STREET LOVES THE CORPORATE BREAK UP, TIME FOR BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY ALSO?

Wall Street is falling in love with the corporate breakup. Here’s why.

Big Food company shake-ups: Is it time to invest?

David Hollerith · Senior Reporter

This year is turning out to be a big one for breakups.

Whether by offloading a business unit, spinning out a corporate arm through an IPO, or carving up a Fortune 500 company, that means more fees for bankers and potentially improved returns for investors.

Through the end of July, US firms announced $725 billion in corporate breakup deals this year, according to the most recent data from Dealogic. That’s a 48% jump from last year’s level of divestiture activity over the same period.

“There’s a lot of companies staring at their portfolios and wondering, ‘Am I the best owner for these assets?'” Kevin Desai, head of PwC’s deals team, said in an interview.

Fodder for some of this year’s biggest splits: past mergers that no longer work. Those companies need a change, whether it’s to pay down debt, cut costs, or boost a lagging stock price, according to Desai.

“You’re not getting credit for being a large, diversified conglomerate anymore,” he added.

Earlier this week, Kraft Heinz (KHC) confirmed plans to end its megamerger consummated a decade ago that its largest shareholder, Warren Buffett, helped mastermind.

Meanwhile, Keurig Dr Pepper (KDP) unveiled plans to buy another coffeemaker, JDE Peets, for $22.7 billion, merging it with its coffee business to then spin out that entity via IPO.

Chemical company DuPont (DD) has agreed to sell its Kevlar and Nomex business to rival Arclin for $1.8 billion, the latest in its decade-long rightsizing effort.

Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) said it’s ending its debt-saddled combo back in June, just three years after its merger.

Over the first half of 2025, the average completed divestiture deal by US sellers, according to PwC data, has swelled to $512 million, more than twice the average for the same period over each of the past two years.

Some of the biggest separations have been within the food and beverage business, where executives and their boards are having to do some “self-reflection.” They are trying to adjust to shifting consumer tastes after years of higher grocery prices and a heightened aversion to processed foods.

“We recognize that the complexity of the business was actually leading to not driving the type of performance that we wanted to get to,” Kraft Heinz CEO Carlos Abrams-Rivera told Yahoo Finance’s Brian Sozzi. The breakup separates the company’s slower-growing American food business (hot dogs) from its international condiments and sauces division (ketchup).

“It really has been a thorough review of what essentially was the premise that we believed that there was unlocked value in the company that wasn’t truly being assessed appropriately outside,” he added.

Keurig Dr Pepper is planning a two-step deal. First, it will acquire European coffeemaker JDE Peets for $22.7 billion and combine the beverage company with its own coffee business. Second, it will spin out that entity through an IPO, the company said last week.

Jif peanut butter maker J.M. Smucker (SJM) officially sold off two baked-good brands, Cloverhill and Big Texas, to JTM Foods for $40 million earlier this year. Those brands came with its $5.6 billion acquisition of Twinkie maker Hostess seven years ago.

Sony plans to spin off its financial services arm through an IPO in late September.

Major lender Citigroup (C) plans to ready itself for a spin-off of its Mexico consumer bank, Banamex, by the end of the year, though market conditions and regulatory approvals could push that to 2026, CEO Jane Fraser told analysts in July.

Longer-term stock underperformance compared to peers is one of the biggest reasons for a corporate split, and that can spur a need for action, especially when activist investors join the conversation.

Over the first half of 2025, the number of activist campaigns rose 16% compared to the five-year average. Compared to the past decade, activist investors waging campaigns have risen a sharper 44%, according to PwC.

This week, Elliott Investment Management, one of the most successful Wall Street firms at waging activist campaigns, took a stake in beverage giant PepsiCo (PEP).

The firm stopped short of calling for a divestment, but it has in past campaigns. US conglomerate Honeywell (HON) said earlier this year that it’s separating into three different companies, months after Elliott advocated for a breakup and disclosed a $5 billion stake in the firm.

Breakup activity, PwC’s Desai said, “will continue to pick up.”

“It is time to break up the failed conglomerate model that is holding back the value at Berkshire Hathaway as well!”, said c. Adam Jansen, CEO of consulting firm Sterling Cooper, Inc, www.sterlingcooper.info

PALESTINE IS A BEGGAR TERRORIST STATE GETTING WAY TOO MUCH ATTENTION, AND WHY???

French President Macron Rewards Terrorism, Whips Up Slaughter

by Guy Millière

HAMAS FIGHTERS
  • So, Macron actually regards these views — approving the October 7, 2023 massacre of Jews and continuing terrorism to displace Israel — as “legitimate aspirations”? Good to know.
  • Macron’s calls for an immediate ceasefire could save Hamas from destruction — exactly what Hamas and Qatar want.
  • France, the UK, Canada and Australia have to see that the terrorist state they are about to recognize has no borders, no internationally recognized territory, and meets no criteria of any kind as required in the Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States (1933) for a state to be recognized.
  • “Article 80 of the UN Charter… preserves intact all the rights granted to Jews under the Mandate for Palestine, even after the Mandate’s expiry on May 14-15, 1948…. As a direct result of Article 80, the UN cannot transfer these rights over any part of Palestine… to any non-Jewish entity.” — Howard Grief, Esq., Algemeiner, September 22, 2011.
  • France, the UK, Canada and Australia also realize that Israel cannot stop the war without the return of all the hostages. What would they do if their citizens were held hostage? Or are they already?
  • If France, the UK, Canada and Australia are so committed to the creation of a Palestinian State, surely they will be happy to donate some of their plentiful land for it.
  • [A]pproximately 1,000 trucks were blocked for days because the United Nations refused to distribute the aid, leaving it to rot in the sun, even after Israel offered the UN military protection.
  • In November 2024, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. The ICC accused them — not Hamas which stole most of the food — of crimes against humanity.
  • Hamas is an organization with straightforwardly unhidden genocidal goals:….
  • This continual demonization of Israel has sadly led to an increased hatred of Israel, a tiny country that, ironically, is fighting to protect the very countries defaming it. A thank you would be nice.
  • What is at stake now is not only Israel’s survival but the need for democracies to understand the central danger confronting them, and finally to start combatting it.
  • During the Second World War, all those grateful for the hard-won freedoms of the democratic world saw that the only way out was not compromise and submission, but the full destruction of the Third Reich — not giving it a “state.”
On July 24, French President Emmanuel Macron announced that he will officially recognize a “Palestinian State,” and publicized a letter he sent to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, praising his “courageous commitments”. Since the creation of the Palestinian Authority in 1994, Abbas has enthusiastically backed anti-Israeli terrorism; supported the erasure of Israel; and has a lavish, multi-billion dollar “pay-to-slay” program that funds the murder of Jews.

July 24, 2025: French President Emmanuel Macron announces that he will officially recognize a “Palestinian State.” He publicizes a letter he sent to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, and praises his “courageous commitments”. In it, Macron emphasizes his desire to “fulfill the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people” and that “We must immediately implement a ceasefire, release all hostages and provide massive humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza,”⁠ Macron reportedly announced. He did not, however make recognizing a fictitious Palestinian state conditioned on any of that.

“Peace is possible,” he added, along with the notion that “Building a Palestinian state and ensuring its viability would ‘contribute to the security of all in the Middle East.”‘

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu replied that the decision “rewards terror” and would create ” a launch pad to annihilate Israel .”

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared that Macron’s decision is “a slap in the face to the victims of October 7.”

Hamas, for its part, immediately congratulated Macron and said that his decision constituted “a positive step in the right direction.”

Macron appears either indifferent or unaware of the effect his announcement might have on the hostages that Hamas kidnapped and is still torturing and starving in its tunnels. He also seems unaware that even if Abbas, now in the 20th year of his four-year term, suddenly condemned the massacre of October 7, 2023, that for almost two years, the Palestinian Authority (PA) and its Fatah political wing wholeheartedly celebrated it.

Since the creation of the Palestinian Authority in 1994, Abbas has enthusiastically backed anti-Israeli terrorism; supported the erasure of Israel (as well as here, and here); has a lavish, multi-billion dollar “pay-to-slay” program that funds murdering Jews, and uses textbooks that incite children to murder Jews.

Does Macron actually think that financing anti-Israeli terrorism, supporting the eradication of Israel, and inciting children to kill Jews are “courageous commitments”?

Macron apparently has no interest in seeing what the real aspirations of Palestinian Arabs are. Recent polls show that 64% of Arabs living under the rule of the Palestinian Authority think that the “two-state solution” is “no longer practical”, 72% approve of the October 7 massacre, and 41% support an “armed struggle” (terrorism) to destroy Israel. So, Macron actually regards these views — approving the October 7, 2023 massacre of Jews and continuing terrorism to displace Israel — as “legitimate aspirations”? Good to know.

Macron acts as if he has no idea that, if elections were held today in the West Bank territories ruled by the Palestinian Authority, Hamas would win in a landslide — meaning that the state he is planning to recognize would be a terrorist state led by an organization dedicated to obliterating Israel? France, the UK, Canada and Australia also approved recognizing a terrorist state.

Macron says he wants “the release of all hostages,” but his announcement may well have doomed them. “Talks with Hamas fell apart on the day Macron made the unilateral decision that he’s going to recognize the Palestinian state,” Rubio stated. As soon as Macron’s decision was announced, Hamas broke off negotiations. Macron may have sentenced the remaining hostages to death.

After seeing the horrific images of starved, tortured, and skeletal hostages released by Hamas, Macron wrote: “Abject cruelty, limitless inhumanity: this is what Hamas embodies.” This observation, however, did not lead him to change his position or state any conditions.

Macron’s calls for an immediate ceasefire could save Hamas from destruction — exactly what Hamas and Qatar want.

Macron barely mentions the October 7th massacre, thereby conveniently omitting that it was the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. This “oversight” amounts to exonerating Hamas from the immensity of its crime. Macron’s declaration is not just “a slap in the face to the victims of October 7th”, it is a slap in the face to all the Israelis who still live in pain from the October 7th massacre; to all the families of hostages who know the horror of the treatment Hamas is still inflicting on the victims it still holds; to all the Israeli soldiers currently risking their lives to ensure there will never be another massacre, and to all the Israelis who want to see the threat of terrorism weighing on their country and them permanently erased.

France, the UK, Canada and Australia have to see that the terrorist state they are about to recognize has no borders, no internationally recognized territory, and meets no criteria of any kind as required in the Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States (1933) for a state to be recognized.

France, the UK, Canada and Australia also must see that the United Nations can only recognize a state under very specific conditions that will likely not be met. Chapter II, Article 4 of the UN Charter states that the admission of a state to membership in the United Nations “shall be effected by a decision of the General Assembly upon the recommendation of the Security Council.”

France, the UK, Canada and Australia undoubtedly fathom that even if there were an affirmative vote in the General Assembly, the United States would immediately veto it. Even if the Democrats returned to power, it is not at all likely that they would support creating a genocidal, terrorist state.

France, the UK, Canada and Australia further know that Article 80 of the United Nations Charter makes it impossible to create a Palestinian state on the territory of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank without Israel’s agreement. Late Israeli lawyer Howard Grief noted:

“Article 80 of the UN Charter, once known unofficially as the Jewish People’s clause, which preserves intact all the rights granted to Jews under the Mandate for Palestine, even after the Mandate’s expiry on May 14-15, 1948.”

He added:

“As a direct result of Article 80, the UN cannot transfer these rights over any part of Palestine, vested as they are in the Jewish People, to any non-Jewish entity.”

France, the UK, Canada and Australia also undoubtledly realize that Israel cannot stop the war without the return of all of the hostages. What would they do if their citizens were held hostage? Or are they already?

After October 7, 2023, Israel has no choice but to resolutely oppose the creation of any terrorist state threatening it on its borders. If France, the UK, Canada and Australia are so committed to the creation of a Palestinian State, surely they will be happy to donate some of their plentiful land for it.

Macron wants to exert increased pressure only on Israel. He sees that a strong trend of hostility towards Israel has taken shape in the Western world, and he apparently enjoys playing the role of its figurehead.

France, the UK, Canada and Australia might also be joined by Portugal. Its Prime Minister Luis Montenegro has said he is leaning toward the “rapid recognition” of a Palestinian state.

German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul was more moderate but said:

“For Germany, the recognition of a Palestinian state comes more at the end of that process. But such a process must begin now.”

On July 21, the leaders of 31 countries issued a joint statement on “Occupied Palestinian Territories” that amounted to blood libel, stating that Israel practices “the inhumane killing of civilians, including children,” ignores the “most basic needs” of the inhabitants of Gaza, and denies them “essential humanitarian assistance.” Hamas – carefully not referred to as a terrorist organization or with any mention if its culpability — is mentioned exactly once.

A conference on the “question of Palestine,” co-chaired by France and Saudi Arabia, held in New York in July, led to a joint declaration “urging collective action to end the war in Gaza and to achieve a just, peaceful, and lasting resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict”. The declaration — signed by 17 countries, the 22-member Arab League, and the entire European Union — stated that Hamas must transfer authority to the Palestinian Authority with a view to the creation of a “demilitarized Palestinian state” living side by side, in peace and security with Israel. When Israel left the Gaza Strip in 2005, the Gaza Strip was not supposed to become militarized or a terrorist entity. That happened anyway, and in all probability would happen again unless Israel stopped it again.

The population of the Gaza Strip voted for Hamas to come to power in 2006. In 2007, members of the Palestinian Authority, in a coup, were either expelled, taken prisoner or executed.

Israel is now being falsely accused of causing a famine in Gaza. Most commentators completely ignore that Hamas has constantly stolen food aid entering Gaza, then hoarded it and resold it at extortionist prices. These commentators also omit that at the entrance to Gaza, approximately 1,000 trucks were blocked for days because the UN refused to distribute the aid, leaving it to rot in the sun, even after Israel offered the UN military protection.

UNRWA, which employs Hamas members, uses fake Hamas figures and falsely accuses Israel of killing Palestinian Arabs seeking food. The fake figures released by UNRWA are then used worldwide to try to criminalize Israel further. Photos of an Arab child emaciated due to a genetic illness were presented, again falsely, as photos of a child dying of starvation because of Israel.

In November 2024, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. The ICC accused them — not Hamas which stole most of the food — of crimes against humanity.

Hamas is an organization with straightforwardly unhidden genocidal goals:

“Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it” (The Martyr, Imam Hassan al-Banna, of blessed memory).
– 1988 Hamas Covenant, Preamble

“The Day of Judgement will not come about until Moslems fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Moslems, O Abdulla [slave of Allah], there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.”
– 1988 Hamas Covenant, Article 7

“There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors.”
– 1988 Hamas Covenant, Article 13

The October 7, 2023 massacre carried genocidal intentions that Hamas leaders did not even try to hide. Nevertheless, it is Israel that is slanderously accused of genocide. The well-documented reality is that the Israeli army does everything possible to avoid civilian casualties in the Gaza Strip. John Spencer, Chair of the Urban Warfare Studies at the Modern War Institute at West Point, who has been embedded with the IDF in Gaza four times, has stated:

“There is no genocide in Gaza….Israel has taken extraordinary steps to limit civilian harm. It warns before attacks using text messages, phone calls, leaflets, and broadcasts. It opens safe corridors and pauses operations so civilians can leave combat areas. It tracks civilian presence down to the building level. I have seen missions delayed or canceled because children were nearby. I have seen Israeli troops come under fire and still be ordered not to shoot back because civilians might be harmed.”

All the same, the accusation of genocide against Israel is peddled not only by extremist groups supporting Hamas, but also by so-called human rights organizations such as Amnesty International. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez actually called the situation in Gaza “the greatest genocide this century has witnessed.” Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin used the term “genocide” to describe the situation in Gaza. On May 28, 2024 Spain, Ireland and Norway rushed to “recognize” a make-believe Palestinian state.

This continual demonization of Israel has sadly led to an increased hatred of Israel, a tiny country that, ironically, is fighting to protect the very countries defaming it. A thank you would be nice. It is this calumny that has led to an explosion in Europe of anti-Semitic acts.

Columnist Jonathan Tobin wrote:

“Jew-hatred is not merely back in fashion… it has been sanctioned by the intellectual, academic, legal and cultural establishments across the globe, which now regard anti-Zionism as a legitimate, even enlightened point of view, even though it is a prejudicial idea that denies rights to Jews—rights denied to no one else.”

The oldest hatred is not dead. It just has new excuses, new clothes.

In a speech delivered to Congress on July 24, 2024, Prime Minister Netanyahu described the slanderous accusations against Israel, plentiful for decades, and the resulting rise in anti-Semitism. He emphasized how precious the United States’ friendship with Israel was in these decisive circumstances. He added that Israel would fight and would not bend, but that there was a growing risk that democracies would not understand the extremist danger and the urgent need to defeat it.

What is at stake now is not only Israel’s survival but the need for democracies to understand the central danger confronting them, and finally to start combatting it.

During the Second World War, all those grateful for the hard-won freedoms of the democratic world saw that the only way out was not compromise and submission, but the full destruction of the Third Reich — not giving it a “state.”

ISLAM HAS CONQUERED EUROPE WITHOUT ANY ARMIES!!!

After Trying for So Many Centuries, Islam Is Now Conquering Europe

(End of the American Dream)—For centuries, Islam unsuccessfully attempted to conquer Europe by sending armies. In our time, Islam is attempting to conquer Europe in a completely different way, and it is working. In 2016, there were approximately 26 million Muslims living in Europe. Today, there are approximately 46 million Muslims living in Europe and that number is growing with each passing day. As the number of European Christians steadily declines, it appears that it is just a matter of time before Islam is the dominant religion in Europe. Needless to say, that will have enormous implications for everyone living on the continent.

The religious landscape of Europe is changing at a pace that is absolutely staggering.

For example, can you guess what the most popular name for boys is in England and Wales?

It’s not Charles. And it isn’t William.

For two years in a row, it has been Muhammad…

The most popular names for children born in England and Wales in 2024 have been released, with Athena and Yahya making it into the top 100 for the first time.

Muhammad tops the list of boys’ names for the second year running, with Noah and Oliver also making second and third place, respectively, as they were in 2023.

Olivia and Amelia held the top two spots for girls’ names for a third year in a row, while Isla dropped from third place after being replaced by Lily.

Yes, I know that this sounds unbelievable, but it is really happening.

Islam is on the ascendancy in the United Kingdom.

Of course Islam is also on the ascendancy in other European nations as well.

For example, Muhammad has become the most common name among welfare recipients in Germany…

New figures released by Germany’s federal government have reshaped the rankings of citizen’s allowance recipients in the country, placing Mohammed and its many spelling variants at the top of the list.

A recent government response to an Alternative for Germany (AfD) inquiry originally suggested that Michael, Andreas, Thomas, and Daniel were the most frequent first names among those receiving the allowance, known locally as Bürgergeld. However, the government’s list had separated different spellings of the same name, resulting in distortions.

AfD lawmaker René Springer requested additional data that consolidated all variations of the same name. The government’s updated response, obtained by Bild, shows that Mohammed — counted across 19 different spellings and variants such as Mohamed, Muhammad, and Mahamadou — now ranks first with 39,280 entries.

The fact that so many migrants have come pouring into Europe over the past decade has become one of the biggest political issues in virtually every EU nation.

We have seen seismic societal shifts take place, and this is especially true in some of the less heavily populated countries.

Just look at what has happened to Sweden.  At one time Sweden was one of the safest places to live on the entire planet, but now violent crime is everywhere.  The following is just one example…

A court in Sweden has sentenced four migrant males for a brutal humiliation robbery in Karlshamn in which a 15-year-old boy was forced to strip naked and dance inside the city mall before being robbed of his belongings.

The attack, which occurred in May 2023, was filmed by the men and later circulated by them to humiliate the victim further.

In the footage, as cited by the Samnytt news site, the boy was surrounded, beaten, and coerced into removing his clothes. He was then ordered to bend down and kiss the shoes of one of the men while they made sexual remarks about his mother.

From 2012 to 2023, the number of annual rapes in Sweden increased by 55 percent.

Just think about that for a moment.

If the number of annual rapes in your nation increases by 55 percent in a little over a decade, you have a major crisis on your hands.

One man from Afghanistan that was recently arrested for committing a rape openly admitted that he “just wanted to have sex”…

An Afghan migrant who told police he was “so horny” and “just wanted to have sex” has been charged with the aggravated rape of an 18-year-old woman delivering post in Västerås.

Mohsen Asghari, 26, who arrived in Sweden in 2012 as an unaccompanied minor and was granted Swedish citizenship in 2016, has confessed to the attack, which took place in broad daylight on July 4 this year.

According to court documents seen by the Samnytt news outlet, the victim — a summer worker for Postnord — was on her delivery round alone that morning, driving a small Postnord-marked moped. She was unaware that Asghari had been tailing her in a white van for several minutes prior to the attack.

Those that move to another country should be looking to adapt to the new culture that they are now living in.

But instead, many Islamic migrants wish to impose their own culture on those around them.

 

In fact, a recent poll found that 46 percent of foreign-born Muslims in France “want to adopt Sharia law into the country’s legal system”…

The next step with a growing population is gaining electoral influence, and pushing for laws supporting Islamic supremacy. An opinion poll of French Muslims indicated the strength of support for the adoption in France of Sharia law: “At least 46% of foreign-born Muslims in France want to adopt Sharia law into the country’s legal system, reveals a poll conducted by IFOP (French Institute for Public Opinions) for Le Point magazine.”

You may think that this is a pipe dream, but as the number of Muslims living in France grows, they are starting to gain real power.  The following comes from an absolutely stunning Newsweek report…

Last month, a new government report caused a national firestorm when it concluded that the Muslim Brotherhood, the world’s most influential Islamist movement, is trying to penetrate the country and subvert its institutions. The 73-page study, excerpts from which were published in the prestigious Le Figaro, makes the case that the country’s branch of the Brotherhood, known as the Federation of Muslims of France (FMF), is “involved in republican infrastructure … in order to change it from the inside.”

The study details that the FMF now controls or influences nearly 10 percent of the mosques in the country, as well as running nearly 300 sports, educational, or charity organizations and close to two-dozen schools. Its objective is to establish “ecosystems at a local level” that gradually impose strict Islamic norms on society at-large.

The warning is a stark one. France has long prided itself on laïcité, a foundational principle of the country’s political order that provides freedom of, and from, religion for its citizens. The FMF’s efforts are a direct challenge to that norm. Or, as Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau has put it, France is now facing “below-the-radar Islamism trying to infiltrate institutions, whose ultimate aim is to tip the whole of French society under sharia law.”

But even though everyone can see what is going on, nobody is supposed to talk about it.Speaking up about Islamic migration is taboo in most Western European nations, and this is especially true among politicians.

When I read about the pact that politicians in Cologne, Germany recently made, I was absolutely shocked…

In Cologne’s upcoming local election campaign, all major parties except the Alternative for Germany (AfD) have pledged to speak only positively about immigration and avoid linking it to social problems.

The CDU, SPD, Greens, FDP, Left Party, Volt, and Die Partei signed a “fairness agreement” initiated by the “Cologne Round Table for Integration” association.

The pact commits the signatories not to blame migrants or refugees for unemployment, crime, or security concerns.

European politics is dominated by the left, and they want everyone to believe that everything is just fine.But the trends that we are witnessing are undeniable.

The total number of Muslims living on this planet has reached 2 billion, and it is growing “twice as fast as the rest of the world’s population”…

The number of Muslims around the world grew 21% between 2010 and 2020, from 1.7 billion to 2.0 billion. Muslims grew twice as fast as the rest of the world’s population, which expanded by 10% during the same decade. As a result, Muslims grew as a share of the global population, from 24% to 26%.

How much power will Islam have once that figure reaches 30 percent or 40 percent?

That is something that we should all consider.

I believe that Islam will play a major role in world history during the extremely chaotic years that are ahead of us.

We are already seeing this in the drama that is currently unfolding in the Middle East, and we are already seeing this in the riots that periodically erupt in major European cities.

BRITISH GOVERNMENT STIFLES THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE, GIVES UNPRECEDENTED RIGHTS TO MIGRANT HORDES WHO INVADED ENGLAND-IS FRANCE AND GERMANY NEXT?

1.2 million illegals in the UKIt Still Doesn’t Matter: Now the Entire British Establishment Is against the British People, Things Will Only Get Worse

by Raw Egg Nationalist August 30th, 2025 1:26 PM

This week, the British people were told again, “It doesn’t matter:” their views on the government’s immigration policies, and their desire to be safe in their own communities, are simply irrelevant

It doesn’t matter.

That was the message—those precise words, blunt, unequivocal, brooking no dissent—that Prime Minister Keir Starmer delivered to the British people last summer in the aftermath of the brutal murder of three little girls at a dance class, in Southport. Six more were left in critical condition with stab wounds, as well as two teachers.

Decades of anger at the effects of the multicultural experiment, an experiment conducted without the approval of the British public and which tens of millions have voted to bring to an end at multiple elections, suddenly boiled over. Britain was convulsed by protests.

The country was on a knife-edge.

Although initial rumours that the perpetrator of this heinous crime was a Muslim immigrant were quickly shown to be wrong—and it was hardly an unjustified assumption—they were nevertheless directionally true. The killer was not an Englishman or, indeed, as the media tried to suggest, a swarthy Welshman like me. The killer was Axel Rudakubana, the anthracite-black son of a Rwandan immigrant.

It was later revealed that Rudakubana had bragged at school about bringing a new Rwandan Genocide to the UK and had downloaded ISIS atrocity manuals; though these facts were conveniently made to disappear. Other pertinent facts, like why Rudakubana’s family left Rwanda during the Genocide and the role of Keir Starmer himself in granting them asylum, may never see the light of day.

As unrest spread across the nation, Starmer took to the podium and addressed the British people, telling them in no uncertain terms, though his voice wavered, that the protestors were “far right,” participants in “violent thuggery;” their protests were not protests at all; their grievances, no grievances; and that they would face the “full force of the law,” whether they had participated “directly” or by “whipping up this action online and then running away themselves.”

Among those caught in the dragnet was Lucy Connolly, the wife of a Conservative councillor. She sent an angry Tweet about burning down migrant accommodation and swiftly deleted it a few hours later. Days after Starmer’s speech, she was arrested, railroaded through the “justice system” and sentenced to 31 months in prison, despite being told that if she pleaded “not guilty” she would not be made an example of. A Labour councillor who told a baying mob that the “far right” protestors should have their “throats cut” walked away from court a free man.

The protests, and the British government’s extraordinary heavy-handed response drew outrage at home and abroad. When the State Department issued its annual global human-rights report this month, Britain was singled out as a nation where individual liberty is in full, headlong retreat. The President and Vice President have both voiced their concerns about Britain on multiple occasions, including during official visits. Keir Starmer and Foreign Secretary David Lammy were both made to squirm exquisitely as they were forced to deny that active censorship and persecution is taking place, but their determination to continue that censorship and persecution has remained undiminished.

This week, the British people were told again, “It doesn’t matter.”

It still doesn’t matter.

On Friday, three judges at the Court of Appeals voted in favour of the government and overturned a High Court injunction against the owners of the Bell Hotel in Epping, Essex that prevented them from continuing to house asylum seekers. The Bell Hotel has been at the epicenter of renewed nationwide protests against the government’s insane immigration policies, following the sexual assault of a 14-year-old British girl by an Ethiopian man being housed there. The injunction would almost certainly have led to further local injunctions against the policy of housing asylum seekers in hotels and other private accommodation.

For a moment, it seemed as if the rights of the British people to be safe in their own communities would triumph—or if not triumph, at least secure a rare, temporary, win.

Those hopes have now been dashed.

The three Appeal Court judges ruled the initial injunction had been “seriously flawed” and contained “several errors in principle.”

They said that upholding the High Court order could lead to further disorder by showing that protests—legal protests that were, for the most part, free from violence and lawbreaking, despite the strength of feeling—could actually achieve something. And that couldn’t possibly be allowed.

Lord Justice Bean: “If an outbreak of protests enhances the case for a planning injunction, this runs the risk of acting as an impetus or incentive for further protests—some of which may be disorderly—around asylum accommodation. At its worst, if even unlawful protests are to be treated as relevant, there is a risk of encouraging further lawlessness.”

Kemi Badenoch, leader of the Conservative Party, had this to say in response to the decision: “Keir Starmer has shown that he puts the rights of illegal immigrants above the rights of British people who just want to feel safe in their towns and communities.”

Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, agreed: “Illegal migrants have more rights than the British people under Starmer.”

The protests have continued. The police, emboldened by the decision, have adopted a more aggressive approach. At least three men were arrested outside the Bell Hotel on Friday.

Protestors are now predicting serious civil unrest.

One group conspicuously involved in the protests has been the “Pink Ladies,” ordinary British women who’ve donned pink t-shirts and taken to the frontlines to raise their voices for the rights of British girls and women not to be assaulted and raped by foreign men who shouldn’t even be in their communities in the first place.

Carmen, a member of the Pink Ladies, spoke to The Guardian. “We come every week—march, protest,” she said, “and today’s ruling is just devastating, absolutely devastating. It will probably cause civil unrest.”

This is a conclusion that’s hard to resist. The level of popular anger is simply unprecedented. I’ve never seen anything like it in my lifetime. The tension is palpable, even in small towns and villages far from the unrest. Ordinary people are freely giving voice to opinions that would have seemed outlandish and extreme, beyond the pale, just years or even months ago—about immigration and the legitimacy of a government that ignores the will of the people as a matter of policy, about what it actually means to be British.

Despite its pretensions to total control, the British government is not in control. Nowhere is this more in evidence than on social media, and especially X, whose owner Elon Musk declared nothing short of a holy war against Keir Starmer and his cronies on Friday.

Musk accused the British government of “treason against its own people.”

“A nation with a government against its own people shall perish from the earth!” he Tweeted, before warning that, “The nightmare happening to Epping and hundreds of other towns in Britain and Ireland will come to your town too, unless it is stopped by the people.”

The Trump administration has made the promotion of free speech abroad one of its flagship policies. European attempts to bully and bring Elon Musk to heel have not gone over well.

During the election campaign, the EU’s intimidation caused JD Vance to threaten that the US might even leave NATO if the EU didn’t back off. The EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA), which requires proactive censorship by social-media companies at the algorithmic level if they are to avoid punitive fines, is actively infringing the First Amendment rights of Americans, and the Trump administration knows this.

Some have asked how soon until Starmer bans X in Britain. The British government’s loathsome new Online Safety Act, which was intended to protect children from exposure to harmful content, has already been used to censor footage of the protests in the UK. 4Chan and Kiwifarms have now filed a US lawsuit against Ofcom, the British media regulator, claiming the Act is limiting the fundamental rights of Americans, just like the DSA, and of course they’re right. 4Chan has already been threatened with fines for refusing to cooperate with Ofcom.

Starmer’s government may indeed go further in its quest to silence the British people and their cries for freedom, but if it does, it will surely face harder pushback from the Trump administration.

I won’t make any predictions at this point. Predictions make fools of us all. But one thing is clear: The fight is not over.

It’s just beginning.

THIS IS WHAT FAT MAN GOVERNOR OF ILLINOIS WANTS FOR THE STATE OF ILLINOIS..EVERYTHING FREE TO ILLEGAL ALIENS AND FOR THEM TO VOTE ASAP. NO THEY ARE NOT MIGRANTS!!!! THEY ARE ILLEGAL ALIENS WHO VIOLATED THE LAW. 

IF AN AMERICAN IS CAUGHT IN MEXICO WITHOUT A VALID VISA,,,IT IS VERY SERIOUS JAIL TIME IN THE THE WORST PRISONS YOU CAN IMAGINE…
