At Least 25 French Cities and Towns Erupt in Riots as ‘Youths’ Attack Police
By Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, April 21, 2020:
Areas in at least 25 cities and departments in France erupted into rioting on Monday night, including attacks on police and attempts to burn down a police station in Strasbourg.
Some of the incidents are believed to have been sparked by a Saturday night motorcycle accident in the Paris suburb of Villeneuve-la-Garenne which also involved the local police.
The 30-year-old motorcycle rider was seriously injured after an unmarked police vehicle opened its door at a red light, which the motorcyclist struck and then ended up hitting a nearby pole. He was taken to hospital with a fractured leg and a fractured femur.
Rioting began in Villeneuve-la-Garenne on Sunday night, according to broadcaster France Bleu, and continued on Monday night with fireworks launched at police.
Several other Paris suburbs also saw violence and rioting including the notorious no-go area of Seine-Saint-Denis which saw garbage cans lit on fire in both Aulnay-sous-Bois and Saint-Denis.
Several areas also reported attacks on police directly in Asnières, Nanterre, Meudon, Clamart, and Gennevilliers.
The department of Yvelines, which has seen nearly daily attacks on the police for the past two weeks, reported officers attacked in the city of Noé by a group of around 20 individuals who launched projectiles and fireworks at them.
Less than an hour later in the commune of La Verrière, another police patrol was attacked by a group of around five people. Rocks were then thrown at officers in Mantes-la-Jolie and a bus was attacked with fireworks in Sartrouville a short time later.
The final incident of the evening in Yvelines took place around 2:50 am in Les Mureaux where officers were violently attacked by around a dozen people.
In Strasbourg, a gang of locals attempted to burn down the building housing a local police station in the district of Meinau by throwing Molotov cocktails at the structure. Police later confirmed that there had been no serious damage to the police station.
Julien Le Cam of the Alliance police union commented on the night of violence, saying: “The night was really difficult for our colleagues. More difficult than in recent weeks. There is a rise in attacks and this is causing a lot of concern on the ground.”
Le Cam went on the state that a number of factors have led to the tensions in certain no-go areas including the impact the strict national lockdown has had on the illegal drug trafficking trade, a concern previously voiced by other law enforcement officials.
“Schools are closed. The good weather returns, and we know very well that it coincides with the resumption of motorcycle racing. In addition, many people who were in prison have been released in recent days. All this leads to an explosive cocktail reinforced by certain daily idleness,” he said.

pamelagellerreport--2020-04-22--President Trump orders the United States Navy to shoot down and destroy any and all Iranian gunboats

President Trump orders the United States Navy to shoot down and destroy any and all Iranian gunboats if they harass our ships at sea

President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he had instructed the U.S. Navy to fire on any Iranian ships that harass it at sea , a week after 11 vessels from Iran ’ s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy ( IRGCN ) came dangerously close to U.S. ships in the Gulf .
‘ I have instructed the United States Navy to shoot down and destroy any and all Iranian gunboats if they harass our ships at sea , ’ Trump wrote in a tweet .
The tweet came amid a re-escalation of tension , with Iran ’ s Revolutionary Guards saying @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the country ’ s first military satellite , which the U.S. regards as a cover for missile development .
‘ The first satellite of the Islamic Republic of Iran has been successfully launched into orbit by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps , ’ said the Guards ’ Sepahnews website .
The satellite ‘ orbited the earth at 264 miles ’ , said the website .
‘ This action will be a great success and a new development in the field of space for Islamic Iran , ’ the statement added .
The surprise @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Iran launched but failed to put into orbit another satellite that it said had no military dimensions .
Washington says that these satellite launches defy a UN Security Council resolution on ballistic missiles .
U.S. officials fear that the launches could help Iran develop intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of carrying nuclear weapons .
And Trump ’ s intervention is a week after nearly a dozen Iranian naval vessels repeatedly harassed and made ‘ dangerous ’ approaches to American ships conducting operations in the Persian Gulf near Kuwait in a tense exchange that last @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of 11 ships with Iran ‘ s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps repeatedly crossed the bows and sterns of the U.S. Navy ’ s Bahrain-based 5th Fleet at close range and high speeds – with one passing within just 10 meters of a Coast Guard cutter .
The ‘ dangerous and provocative actions increased the risk of miscalculation and collision , ’ a statement from U.S. Central Command said , adding that U.S commanders on the scene ‘ retain the inherent right to self-defense.
’ The American vessels included the USS Paul Hamilton , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ B. Puller , a ship that serves as an afloat landing base ; and the USCGC Maui .
Coastguard vessels are part of U.S. forces in the Gulf .
The ships were operating with U.S. Army Apache attack helicopters in international waters , the statement said .

President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he had instructed the U.S. Navy to fire on any Iranian ships that harass it at sea, a week after 11 vessels from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy (IRGCN) came dangerously close to U.S. ships in the Gulf.
‘I have instructed the United States Navy to shoot down and destroy any and all Iranian gunboats if they harass our ships at sea,’ Trump wrote in a tweet.
The tweet came amid a re-escalation of tension, with Iran’s Revolutionary Guards saying hours earlier that that they had launched the country’s first military satellite, which the U.S. regards as a cover for missile development.
‘The first satellite of the Islamic Republic of Iran has been successfully launched into orbit by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps,’ said the Guards’ Sepahnews website.
The satellite ‘orbited the earth at 264 miles’, said the website.
‘This action will be a great success and a new development in the field of space for Islamic Iran,’ the statement added.
The surprise operation comes more than two months after Iran launched but failed to put into orbit another satellite that it said had no military dimensions.
Washington says that these satellite launches defy a UN Security Council resolution on ballistic missiles.
U.S. officials fear that the launches could help Iran develop intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of carrying nuclear weapons.
And Trump’s intervention is a week after nearly a dozen Iranian naval vessels repeatedly harassed and made ‘dangerous’ approaches to American ships conducting operations in the Persian Gulf near Kuwait in a tense exchange that last more than an hour.
A group of 11 ships with Iran‘s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps repeatedly crossed the bows and sterns of the U.S. Navy’s Bahrain-based 5th Fleet at close range and high speeds – with one passing within just 10 meters of a Coast Guard cutter.
The ‘dangerous and provocative actions increased the risk of miscalculation and collision,’ a statement from U.S. Central Command said, adding that U.S commanders on the scene ‘retain the inherent right to self-defense.’
The American vessels included the USS Paul Hamilton, a Navy destroyer; the USS Lewis B. Puller, a ship that serves as an afloat landing base; and the USCGC Maui. Coastguard vessels are part of U.S. forces in the Gulf.
The ships were operating with U.S. Army Apache attack helicopters in international waters, the statement said.

His Fourth Amendment rights were egregiously violated by surveillance warrants unlawfully obtained .

Instead of revealing the truth , Trump ’ s adversaries —with significant assistance from a hopelessly biased and clueless media— pursued a relentless scheme to destroy him with the narrative that he was a Russian asset who somehow conspired with Moscow to rig the election in his favor .

He is to be commended for doing so , as are Sens .
Ron Johnson , R-Wis. , and Charles Grassley , R-Iowa , for their persistence in getting this stunning material declassified .
After finally securing access to the declassified documents , Johnson bluntly described some senior officials at the FBI as “ total and complete snakes.

Instead of shutting down its entire probe and withdrawing its surveillance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s FBI escalated its case against the president .
A special counsel was appointed , but no evidence of a “ collusion ” conspiracy was discovered –because it never existed .

I don’t expect the mainstream media to ever issue a “mea culpa” or an apology for misleading the American people in a damning hoax. That’s not how they operate. Lies, not credibility, are their currency.

Gregg JarrettBy Gregg Jarrett, April 17, 2020:
The accusation that Donald Trump “colluded” with Russia to steal the 2016 presidential election was always an elaborate and perfidious hoax. James Comey’s FBI knew this all along but managed to conceal it. Until now.
Newly declassified documents reveal that the anti-Trump “dossier” was substantially the product of Russian disinformation. It was sedulously fed to a gullible and maladroit ex-British spy, Christopher Steele, who was being paid by the Hillary Clinton Campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to gather and disseminate the bogus allegations.
It was the “dossier” that fueled the FBI and special counsel investigations of President Trump that battered his presidency. The largely phony series of Steele memos were also “central and essential” to gaining by deception four successive warrants to spy on a former Trump campaign adviser, Carter Page. His Fourth Amendment rights were egregiously violated by surveillance warrants unlawfully obtained.
For the better part of 4 years, top officials at the FBI kept their knowledge and evidence of the Russian disinformation hidden from congress, judges on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, and the American people.
For the better part of 4 years, top officials at the FBI and the intelligence community kept their knowledge and evidence of the Russian disinformation hidden from congress, judges on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC), and the American people.
Instead of revealing the truth, Trump’s adversaries —with significant assistance from a hopelessly biased and clueless media— pursued a relentless scheme to destroy him with the narrative that he was a Russian asset who somehow conspired with Moscow to rig the election in his favor.
Recently, when Ambassador Richard Grenell was named acting Director of National Intelligence, he moved swiftly to unmask the insidious coverup of this heretofore classified information. He is to be commended for doing so, as are Sens. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., and Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, for their persistence in getting this stunning material declassified.
After finally securing access to the declassified documents, Johnson bluntly described some senior officials at the FBI as “total and complete snakes.” That is an understatement. Comey and his confederates deliberately exploited what they knew to be untrue and discredited information as a pretext to spy on the Trump campaign and investigate the president.
Evidence that the FBI was aware of the Russian fabrications was discovered by Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz and contained in footnotes inside his voluminous report released in December. But those footnotes remained redacted as “classified” until Grenell ordered that they be made public.
The footnotes show that, once the FBI learned early in its Trump-Russia investigation that their case was built on little more than disinformation, this exculpatory evidence was knowingly and willfully buried by the bureau. Instead of shutting down its entire probe and withdrawing its surveillance warrant from the FISC, Comey’s FBI escalated its case against the president.
A special counsel was appointed, but no evidence of a “collusion” conspiracy was discovered –because it never existed. It was a fiction peddled by Moscow to the FBI through Steele, who was being paid by the Clinton Campaign and the DNC.

Antisemitic hate group J-Street joins Nazi “Palestinian” Authority in condemning Israel’s newly elected government

J Street is a notorious anti-Semitic hate group funded by dozens of Muslim Americans and anti-Israel Jewish Americans .
The J is for jihad .
The formation of J Street was inevitable .
When groups such as AIPAC refused to take a political stand , it was only a matter of time that a leftist J group with anti-Semitic ideologies would emerge .
As such , it is only natural for J-Street to join the neo-Nazi Palestinian Authority in condemning Israel ’ s democratically elected government .
J-Street seeks to stop Israel from implementing the Trump peace plan , which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for July 1st , 2020 .
You can bet that an emboldened J-Street will relentlessly and viciously try to undermine PM Netanyahu between now and July 1st , especially since that idiot Joe Biden gleefully excepted their endorsement .
Shame on AIPAC for not confronting this anti-Israel hate group .
Anti-Israel bigots founded J Street to weaken AIPAC .
They did a great job .
Real pro-Israel groups need to go after J Street , and expose them for the hate group that they are .
In addition , Israel needs to designate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and ban it ’ s members from stepping one foot into Israel .
Saeb Erekat , the Secretary-General of the Palestine Liberation Organization , on Monday blasted the new unity government which was agreed upon between Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and Blue and White chairman Benny Gantz .
“ The new Israeli government has two options ; to either open the doors for a meaningful peace process or to further jeopardize any hope for peace .
To pursue the path of cooperation , honoring its obligations under international law , or to carry @ @ @ @ @ @ @ illegal colonial-settlements , annexation , and other violations of Israeli obligations , ” he said in a statement .
He accused the Israeli government of “ refusing to implement its obligations as the occupying power under international humanitarian law , even amidst the current threat of COVID-19 , while systematically destroying the prospects of a negotiated peace between Israel and Palestine .
It has also normalized the institutional discrimination , incitement , and racism against 1.5 million Palestinians living in Israel.
” The Palestinian Arabs , he claimed , “ have been clear @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in accordance to the plan presented by President Abbas to the UN Security Council .
We expect support from the international community to facilitate a meaningful peace process based on international law and relevant UN resolutions for the achievement of the internationally agreed peace parameters , including two-states on the 1967 border , East Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Palestine and a just and agreed solution to the refugee issue based on UNGA resolution 194 per the Arab Peace Initiative.
” Taking issue with the clause in the coalition agreement @ @ @ @ @ @ @ able to apply sovereignty in the Jordan Valley and Judea and Samaria in July , Erekat said , “ A government coalition based on a commitment to annex more occupied Palestinian territory is a threat to a rules-based world order in general , but to peace , security and stability in the Middle East in particular.
” “ Annexation means the end of any possibility for a negotiated solution .
It is an international responsibility to hold the new Israeli government accountable and to demand full implementation of its obligations under international law @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .

As Netanyahu forms a new government that is committed to West Bank annexation, American lawmakers need to make clear such actions would lead to real consequences for the US-Israel relationship. Our statement: https://t.co/MfFEYYxCly — J Street (@jstreetdotorg) April 20, 2020
It is outrageous that the Israeli government and the Trump administration are contemplating such destructive measures even as Israelis, Palestinians, Americans and people around the world are preoccupied with the COVID-19 emergency.https://t.co/MfFEYYxCly — J Street (@jstreetdotorg) April 20, 2020
For background on how anti-Israel and dishonest J Street is, watch the J Street Challenge. The Democrat Party's favorite Jewish group is one of the most dangerous anti-Israel groups in America because it operates through dissimulation. https://t.co/JJ9hsriQ5m — Caroline Glick (@CarolineGlick) April 19, 2020

pamelagellerreport--2020-04-23--New York Times Editor Admits Biden Sexual Assault Story was Censored at Behest of Biden Campaign

In what world would the New York Times do same for Trump .
The American people are under attack by the enemy of the people – the Democrat media media .
So much for # metoo , hypocrites .
New York Times Editor Admits Biden Sexual Assault Story was Censored at Behest of Biden Campaign By : Daniel Greenfield , FGM , April 14 , 2002 : Dean Baquet is not a very bright guy .
The New York Times isn ’ t there for any obvious reason except his willingness to be both a token , and , unlike @ @ @ @ @ @ @ clan , while pushing assorted identity politics agendas .
It takes a very ‘ not bright guy ’ to make the admission that Baquet did about the Times ’ hit piece on Tara Reade , the former Biden Senate staffer who had accused him of sexual assault .
The New York Times whitewashing piece had initially included and then deleted a paragraph that attracted a lot of attention .
The “ pattern ” is pretty obvious and the sentence is self-contradictory .
Aside from all the groping , there was no pattern of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to explain the deletion .
Which campaign ?
Not the campaign for accuracy in the New York Times .
But the Biden campaign .
The paper ’ s editor not only admitted that the paper is in touch with the campaign , but that it edits pieces about Biden after prompting from the campaign .
The Times has destroyed what little is left of its credibility and the incident will be repeatedly used to hammer the paper by the Trump campaign .
And the hammering will be thoroughly deserved .
This sort of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ But Baquet was an idiot to admit it .

In what world would the New York Times do same for Trump? The American people are under attack by the enemy of the people – the Democrat media. So much for #metoo, hypocrites.
Pelosi: ‘Satisfied’ with Biden’s Answer on Sexual Misconduct Allegations
New York Times Editor Admits Biden Sexual Assault Story was Censored at Behest of Biden Campaign
By: Daniel Greenfield, FGM, April 14, 2002:Dean Baquet is not a very bright guy. The New York Times isn’t there for any obvious reason except his willingness to be both a token, and, unlike his predecessor, submissive to the Sulzberg clan, while pushing assorted identity politics agendas.
It takes a very ‘not bright guy’ to make the admission that Baquet did about the Times’ hit piece on Tara Reade, the former Biden Senate staffer who had accused him of sexual assault.
The New York Times whitewashing piece had initially included and then deleted a paragraph that attracted a lot of attention.
“The Times found no pattern of sexual misconduct by Mr. Biden, beyond the hugs, kisses, and touching that women previously said made them uncomfortable.”
The “pattern” is pretty obvious and the sentence is self-contradictory.
Aside from all the groping, there was no pattern of sexual misconduct.
Baquet then went on to explain the deletion.
“Even though a lot of us, including me, had looked at it before the story went into the paper, I think that the campaign thought that the phrasing was awkward and made it look like there were other instances in which he had been accused of sexual misconduct. And that’s not what the sentence was intended to say.”
Which campaign? Not the campaign for accuracy in the New York Times. But the Biden campaign.
The paper’s editor not only admitted that the paper is in touch with the campaign, but that it edits pieces about Biden after prompting from the campaign. The Times has destroyed what little is left of its credibility and the incident will be repeatedly used to hammer the paper by the Trump campaign. And the hammering will be thoroughly deserved.
This sort of thing goes on all the time. But Baquet was an idiot to admit it.
