The tragic situation of the European farmers is a by-product of the EU elites’ obsession with their ‘Net-zero’ fantasies, leading them to impose a whole host of crippling, failed agricultural policies, making farming in Europe difficult and expensive.

Of course, these same heartless elites are more than happy to turn around and negotiate a free-trade agreement with South American countries that have great, much cheaper agricultural produce since in Mercosur there is no equivalent ‘green’ legislation.

So now European farmers are on a war footing.

The report by The Telegraph has an interesting aspect in which French farmers are ready to help their British counterparts.

Serge Bousquet-Chassagne, Coordination Rurale union:

“’I’m prepared to receive my British farmer colleagues or to travel over there to lend a hand’, he said. ‘We have a lot of form when it comes to more radical forms of protest. We’re all in the same boat’.

Thousands of British farmers are expected to march on Westminster on Tuesday against the Government’s plans to impose inheritance tax on farms worth more than £1 million.”

British organizers have hinted action may increase if the government does not change course.

Bousquet-Chassagne, plum and cereal farmer:

‘We’re drowning under a sea of norms that make no sense and that are supposed to make us produce better. But in my view soon we won’t produce better, we won’t produce anything at all!’ he said.

He praised the UK for leaving the EU. ‘The British are our faithful allies and we admire your decision to leave the European Union, which is partly to blame for our woes’.

Matt Gaetz has announced that he is withdrawing from his nomination for Attorney General.

The shocking announcement was posted to X on Thursday morning.

“I had excellent meetings with Senators yesterday,” Gaetz began. “I appreciate their thoughtful feedback – and the incredible support of so many.”

The former congressman continued, “While the momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition. There is no time to waste on a needlessly protracted Washington scuffle, thus I’ll be withdrawing my name from consideration to serve as Attorney General. Trump’s DOJ must be in place and ready on Day 1.”

“I remain fully committed to see that Donald J. Trump is the most successful President in history. I will forever be honored that President Trump nominated me to lead the Department of Justice and I’m certain he will Save America,” the announcement concluded.

Trump issued a statement about the withdrawal in a post to Truth Social, which read:

I greatly appreciate the recent efforts of Matt Gaetz in seeking approval to be Attorney General. He was doing very well but, at the same time, did not want to be a distraction for the Administration, for which he has much respect. Matt has a wonderful future, and I look forward to watching all of the great things he will do!

Gaetz’s withdrawal comes one day after the House Ethics Committee announced it would not release the files from the federal sex trafficking investigation into him—but a document from the Department of Justice’s probe was leaked to The New York Times two hours later.

“It shows [Gaetz] made thousands $ in payments to women who told investigators they had sex with him for money. We are publishing a redacted version of the document,” New York Times reporter Michael Schmidt said on Wednesday evening.

Gaetz has denied all allegations, and the Justice Department declined to bring charges after investigating the matter.

The day before he withdrew, CNN asked Trump if he was reconsidering Gaetz’s nomination due to the allegations against him.

“No,” Trump responded.

CNN: “Mr. President, are you reconsidering the nomination of Matt Gaetz?”

TRUMP: “No.”

Crime has hit home for Marxist Trump-hating Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office.

Police told  The New York Post that they arrested a Venezuelan illegal with ties to a violent Venezuelan gang for robbing a 38-year-old assistant district attorney in her apartment building early Sunday morning. The migrant was then arrested outside the Row Hotel migrant shelter in Midtown Manhattan Tuesday night.

Police also allege that 25-year-old Brandon Simosa, who is reported affiliated with Tren de Agua, robbed the lawyer when she arrived home to her 44th Street apartment at roughly 2 a.m. after performing a disgusting act. Police say that as the female lawyer was walking to her residence, she caught Simosa m**turbating in the building’s hallway.

She then dropped her phone, and the migrant promptly snatched it and raced off. The phone was later located close to the migrant shelter.

Simosa has been charged with several crimes, including sexually motivated robbery, grand larceny, and criminal possession of stolen property. He was arraigned on Wednesday to face the charges.

Here is Simosa smirking as the cops lead him away. Perhaps he understandably thinks he’ll be let off with a slap on the wrist, considering Bragg’s reputation.

According to the Post, Simosa entered the United States illegally from Venezuela when he sneaked into Eagle Pass, Texas, in October 2023 and was taken into custody by border patrol agents. But he was then let go with a notice to appear before an immigration judge in New York City.

Unsurprisingly, Simosa failed to show up. In February, a so-called ‘judge’ dismissed his removal proceedings case, meaning he was no longer being actively pursued for deportation.

Simosa then took advantage of the failed immigration system by racking up a string of crimes. These included a series of assault, grand larceny, robbery, and transit evasion incidents in Queens and Manhattan between January and August, according to the Post.

All told, Simosa was arrested a total of six times in just ten months. Making the situation more ridiculous, he was charged with grand larceny regarding an April 23 theft at a Times Square CVS store just last week, but he was let go anyway.

But DA Bragg is okay with all of this and sees jailing Trump on bogus “hush money” charges as more urgent, even after winning the Presidential election in a landslide.

As Patty McMurray reported earlier, last week Trump supporters found themselves scratching their heads over the potential selection of former US Rep. and FBI Special Agent Mike Rogers, who recently ran for US Senate in Michigan as a Republican, as the potential next FBI Director.

Although President Donald Trump won the state of Michigan, after days of counting in the senate race, the very unpopular former CIA analyst and former US Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D) was called the winner of the race by a very slim margin.

Instead of questioning how it was possible that President Trump did so well in Michigan, yet he lost by a small margin after days of counting in a state with 9 days of early voting, Mike Rogers conceded almost immediately, without even so much as a whimper.

Maybe Rogers did not complain about his loss since he was very vocal trashing President Trump in 2020 for contesting the highly controversial and improbable results of the 2020 election.

From Rogers’ November 21, 2020, Detroit News op-ed:

President Donald Trump’s attempts to influence the electoral processes in Michigan, and elsewhere, is cause for both concern and alarm, and should be roundly rejected by both Democrats and Republicans alike.

By attempting to use the trappings of the Oval Office to influence state officials, he is violating norms of behavior and setting a dangerous precedent for the future — not just here, but internationally. American democracy must be about more than one person or one party, and right now the president should honor the office by acting accordingly.

The president is certainly within his rights to contest results where he believes there may have been inaccuracies or impropriety, and there are legal mechanisms for doing so. These efforts are unlikely to deliver the results he believes they will.

His victory in 2016 was much closer than his loss in 2020, and both votes were held fairly and with bipartisan observation. It is well past time that the president accepts that he lost and begin the peaceful and orderly transition of power to President-elect Joe Biden.

The reality for Trump is that he lost the election, and not just in Michigan. The 2020 election was perhaps the mostly closely watched in history.

Recently, shocking comments by Rogers have resurfaced exposing his allegiance to the security state.

Here is Mike Rogers joking about have Eric Snowden assassinated for exposing deep state operations.

There’s literally no worse appointment possible than choosing Mike Rogers for FBI Director, or for any government position.

Rogers also went on NPR to argue that the “Nunes Memo” that revealed illegal FBI spying on the Trump campaign and his family members, should be suppressed.

Mike Rogers would be a horrible pick for FBI Chief.

The Illinois Supreme Court reversed the conviction of MAGA hate hoaxer Jussie Smollett.

Jussie Smollett asked the Illinois Supreme Court to overturn his conviction after the appellate court denied his request.

WGNTV reported:

The Illinois Supreme Court has reversed the conviction of actor Jussie Smollett.

The former “Empire” actor took his case to the Illinois Supreme Court in September in a last-ditch effort to have his 2021 conviction overturned.

A statement from the IL Supreme Court on Thursday said: “Today we resolve a question about the State’s responsibility to honor the agreements it makes with defendants. Specifically, we address whether a dismissal of a case by nolle prosequi allows the State to bring a second prosecution when the dismissal was entered as part of an agreement with the defendant and the defendant has performed his part of the bargain. We hold that a second prosecution under these circumstances is a due process violation, and we therefore reverse defendant’s conviction.”

In December 2021, Smollett was found guilty on 5 charges of disorderly conduct – one count for each time he lied to police following the hoax ‘attack.’

Smollett was found not guilty on a 6th count of lying to a detective.

In March 2022 a judge scolded Jussie Smollett for his narcissism and hypocrisy before sentencing him to 150 days in jail.

Smollett was also sentenced to 30 months probation and ordered to pay $120,126 restitution and a $25,000 fine.

A dramatic scene unfolded in court after the judge sentenced Jussie Smollett to 150 days in prison last year.

The Gateway Pundit immediately pegged this ‘racist, homophobic’ attack against Smollett as a hate hoax in January 2019.

Smollett laughably claimed two ‘white men’ ambushed him at 2 am in 20-degree weather in downtown Chicago while screaming “This is MAGA country!”

The ‘Empire’ actor said the attackers poured bleach on him and put a noose around his neck while verbally abusing him with homophobic and racial slurs.

It turns out Jussie Smollett paid two Nigerian brothers over $3,000 to help him pull off the “MAGA Country” hate hoax crime.

In previously released footage, the Osundairo brothers are seen purchasing all of the supplies for the hate hoax such as red hats, rope and bleach.

Despite all of the evidence presented in the court proving Smollett recruited the Nigerians to help him with this hate hoax, the ‘Empire’ actor lied to the court for hours and claimed he was a victim of a real crime.
