At least 150 people have been arrested across France on a second night of mass unrest over Tuesday's fatal shooting of a 17-year-old boy by police near Paris during a traffic check. Town halls, schools and police stations were set on fire. President Emmanuel Macron said this was "unjustifiable". The police officer who opened fire is now under formal investigation for voluntary homicide. Nahel M was shot at point-blank range as he drove away from police. French prosecutors argue that the use of a firearm was not legally justified. On Wednesday morning, President Macron held a crisis cabinet meeting to discuss the escalating riots. Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin said that France had

The "teen" is identified as "Nahel M." Hmmm - - I wonder what the "M" stands for. Anyone have a guess?

The police officer's actions may or may not have been justifiable but Macron and the other politician's actions were not justifiable. They have already condemned the police officer to appease the mob. Appeasement never works, the French should be well aware of that by now.

How quickly France learned from America, forget law enforcement, blame the police officer first.

An Algerian fleeing authority and a Frenchman shooting a guy in the back. Sounds about right.

The Supreme Court of the United States this week slashed Joe Biden’s student debt forgiveness plan, did away with affirmative action, and upheld the First Amendment’s protection of religious expression. In dissenting from the majority in both cases, the Court’s liberal justices relied on plainly inaccurate claims. Ketanji Brown Jackson Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson joined the dissent in Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. President and Fellows of Harvard College, in which the Court ruled that race-conscious admissions policies violate the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment.

In a speech Friday, President Joe Biden said the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down his student-loan-forgiveness order was a mistake and announced he would attempt to pursue debt relief by other means. “These Republican officials just couldn’t bear the thought of providing relief for working class, middle-class Americans,” said Biden of those challenging his law. A new relief program will be grounded in the Higher Education Act, instead of the HEROES Act. The president also announced that the administration will seek to ensure no one with an undergraduate loan will spend more than 5 percent of their disposable income to repay their loans.

The Supreme Court on Friday agreed to review a federal law that bars an individual subject to a domestic violence restraining order from possessing a firearm, adding a major Second Amendment case to next term’s docket. A federal appeals court invalidated the law in March in an opinion that critics said will make it easier for domestic abusers to obtain firearms. The court’s move comes just a year after the justices issued a landmark opinion expanding gun rights nationwide. After the justices issued that opinion, called New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, lower courts began to reconsider thousands of firearm rules across the country,

WASHINGTON − President Joe Biden plans to announce "new actions to protect student loan borrowers," the White House said Friday, after the Supreme Court overturned his signature program to eliminate up to $20,000 in student loan debt for millions of Americans. The court's 6-3 decision dashed the hopes of 26 million people who applied for student loan cancellation since Biden took the action last August, putting pressure on the Biden to find other ways for debt relief. "While we strongly disagree with the court, we prepared for this scenario. The president will have more to say today," a White House official who spoke on the condition of anonymity said.

The Supreme Court ruled President Joe Biden can't wipe away or reduce student loans held by millions of Americans. In a 6-3 decision, the high court's conservative justices agreed with the suing states that the HEROES Act does not authorize Biden's debt forgiveness plan. At issue was whether the administration had authority to broadly cancel federal student loans because of the COVID-19 emergency. Loan payments that have been on hold since the start of the coronavirus pandemic three years ago are supposed to resume no later than this summer. Without the loan relief promised by the Biden plan, the administration’s top Supreme Court lawyer said, “delinquencies and defaults will surge.”

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Friday ruled in favor of an evangelical Christian web designer from Colorado who refuses to work on same-sex weddings. The justices, divided 6-3, said that Lorie Smith, as a creative professional, has a free speech right under the Constitution’s First Amendment to refuse to endorse messages she disagrees with. As a result, she cannot be punished under Colorado’s antidiscrimination law for refusing to design websites for gay couples, the court said. The ruling could allow other similar business owners to evade punishment under laws in 29 states that protect LGBTQ rights in public accommodations in some form. The remaining

Hunter Biden has reached a settlement in an Arkansas child-support case involving Lunden Roberts, a former exotic dancer, in which he agreed to financially support their four-year-old daughter but succeeded in his effort to deprive the child of his last name. The president’s son agreed to financially support their daughter until the age of 18, though his exact contribution was redacted in the court filing. He also agreed contribute to the creation of a college education fund, and provide an undisclosed number of his paintings for potential sale. “The child shall select the painting which shall either be sent to the child or sent to a gallery designated by Lunden Roberts,”

On Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “America Reports,” Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) Commissioner Andrea Lucas predicted that the Supreme Court’s ruling on racial preferences in college admissions will lead to an increased amount of challenges to already illegal corporate DEI programs and other methods of sneaking in race preferences. Lucas said, “I think this is going to be a wake-up call for employers. Today is a time — the best time for lawyers to really take a look at the lawfulness of their corporate diversity programs. Even though many employers don’t use the word affirmative action, it’s rampant today, from ESG, to focuses on equity, pretty much everywhere,

The Supreme Court will release its final decisions of the term Friday morning, handing down rulings on student debt relief and a free speech case involving same-sex wedding websites. The last decisions will cap a term that has already included the gutting of affirmative action in college admissions alongside a string of victories for the left on the Voting Rights Act, a Biden-era immigration policy and federal elections. Here’s what to know with the court on the cusp of its summer recess: After the affirmative action decision was handed down, Chief Justice John Roberts said in the courtroom that Friday will be the last day the Supreme Court hands down

This story emerged from an unlikely source involving Glenn Beck’s recent vacation to Europe. As reported at The Blaze, while Beck was overseas he had a disturbing conversation with his travel agent. He was told, “You should see Europe now while you can.” The reason is that the United Nations has been rolling out “sustainability goals” for the travel industry, particularly when it comes to air travel. They are trying to force airlines to get to “net zero” in terms of emissions. As we recently discussed here, the technology doesn’t currently exist to achieve net zero for commercial airlines without vastly increasing the cost for travelers.

North Carolina 2024 gubernatorial candidate and current state treasurer Dale Folwell told the Daily Caller that the North Carolina legislature has “removed Larry Fink’s ability to politicize [the state’s] money” after overriding Democratic Governor Roy Cooper’s veto on Wednesday. The veto override passes a law against governmental pensions plans contracting with companies or investors that subscribe to progressive environmental, social, and governance (ESG) policy. Common aspects of ESG include pledges for net zero carbon emissions, supporting social liberalism like pride displays, and encouraging democracy by encouraging staff and customers to vote in elections. North Carolina’s pension system is 12th largest in the United States and has never engaged in ESG

The SCOTUS ruling overturning affirmative action at Harvard and UNC will have an obvious impact on colleges across the country, at least at those colleges that exist in states which haven’t already passed laws against the consideration of race in admissions. But it’s very possible that the impact of the ruling will go beyond colleges and impact corporate DEI programs as well. Though the two things are legally distinct they also operate in parallel, meaning the reasoning that led to the elimination of race-based admissions would seem to apply to efforts around hiring as well. DEI advocates predict companies will be next to face hostility. “Corporate America’s looking

The Supreme Court has ruled that it is unlawful for colleges and universities to use race as a factor in admissions, overturning rulings from as far back as 1978 that claimed institutions of higher education had a valid interest in promoting racial diversity on campus and could thus give favorable consideration to black and Latino applicants in their admissions process. Two separate decisions were reached in which the nation’s highest court ruled that Harvard University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill engaged in unlawful discriminatory practices based on race that violated the Constitution.

The Chinese spy balloon that was shot down over the Atlantic Ocean in early February was built -- at least partly -- using American off-the-shelf parts, a U.S. official has confirmed to ABC News. A second U.S. official was also able to confirm that the balloon did not appear to have transmitted any of the data it collected on its journey above North America, as was initially reported by the Wall Street Journal. The first official could not say whether any of the American gear was sold illicitly to China but said determining whether any of it came from illegal trade was a topic of serious concern
