a) UN officials have admitted the United Nations is on the brink of complete financial collapse because member states are refusing to pay their dues. “We face a real danger of running out of money.”
b) France. A 14-year-old student opened fire at Joseph-Lakanal middle school in Aubagne on Monday, wounding the principal and a teacher before being disarmed by staff. The attack comes after weeks of student riots, arson and assaults on teachers across the country.
c) French President Emmanuel Macron is said to be furious after a television news broadcast showed a protest placard containing a vulgar reference to his relationship with his wife Brigitte, who was once his teacher. Among the slogans appearing regularly at the demonstrations is “Macron bz ta prof, pas les nôtres,” which roughly translates as “Macron, f*ck your teacher, not ours.”
d) Brussels Releases Rioting Minors Due to Detention Shortage. Brussels prosecutors released sixteen minors arrested during violent riots because Belgium’s youth detention system has no available space, even for youths caught with Molotov cocktails.
e) France. According to Causeur, Jonathan Siksou has published a short but incisive essay titled “Le saccage de la beauté” (The Destruction of Beauty) with the subtitle “Why Our World Is Growing Uglier” in the Pensée Libre collection at Fayard publishing house. The work has been praised for its unapologetic defence of traditional beauty and its refusal to surrender to what the author characterises as systematic cultural vandalism.

… has always seemed, to me, to be some guy in his basement becoming a “center” … he’s certainly not much quoted across the pond, yet he’s a steady source of trad conservative thought (small c). And I’ve been receiving his emails for yonks.
This is part of today’s:
“The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) estimates that seventeen U.S. House seats were reallocated between the 2010 and 2020 census due to immigration. CIS also found that roughly 10 million illegal immigrants responded to the 2020 census and about 20 million non-citizens (including permanent residents, foreign students, and green card holders) responded to the 2020 census.
The solution the U.S. Census Bureau is working to adopt under President Trump is a simple one: eliminate non-citizens from being counted in the 2030 U.S. Census and beyond, ensuring that only citizens are counted in the reapportionment process.
On September 10, the U.S. Census Bureau under President Trump proposed a new rule that would remove non-citizens (including foreign residents and foreign students as well as illegal aliens) from the total number of citizens counted for the purposes of apportionment.
After the comment period, which runs through Nov. 2, the Census Bureau is expected to issue a final rule, but as one might expect, liberal activist groups are gearing up to fight the rule once it is finalized.”
This gives some insight into the group, plus the not so transparent Rick Manning:
