Edited Transcript:

Welcome to your Tuesday, October twentieth, two thousand and twenty-six morning update.

The newsrooms of the old world and the new have a fresh turn of phrase for the chaos that they invite. France is being looted and burned by invaders they actually invited there. And CBS News has decided to frame these conflicts as scuffles with police.

Their X post was so quickly mocked and ridiculed and ratioed that they actually took it down.

You have to wonder what euphemisms they passed on in the meeting before they arrived at scuffles.

Larry O’Connor on X made a slight adjustment to scuffles before they took the post down.

Fiery but mostly peaceful scuffles.

Reminiscent of CNN’s addition to the collective consciousness and the lexicon of the world’s stupidest discourse: mostly peaceful protests.

Baghdad Bob would be jealous.

From Red State, the fake news media’s purpose isn’t to make us pay attention to what matters, it is to tell us not to believe our Lyin’ eyes. Such is the case when the France riots, which have turned into an immigrant-driven orgy of violation, mayhem, arson, vandalism, and looting. Of course, that is extremely problematic for the narrative that importing millions of people from impoverished third world nations is cultural enrichment. Even if the ungrateful military age foreigners inevitably riot for more handouts from their guilty host country.

We’ve heard it all, right?

The invaders didn’t do anything at all to build up their home countries and may very well be here because they did the opposite. But we’re meant to believe that without them, Western civilization couldn’t possibly have achieved all the great things it accomplished before they ever arrived.

Winston Smith, please pick up the nearest courtesy phone. Winston Smith

France certainly bought and sold that globalist narrative and now they find themselves with an abundance, a cornucopia of mostly peaceful protesters engaged in fiery scuffles.

But damn it. It’s just a handful of hooligans taking advantage of the disorder.

Shadows of penumbras of the BLM riots and the LA anti-ICE riots. People waving foreign flags on top of automobiles surrounded by fiery scuffles. And maybe some opportunistic rape, robbery, and murder. Those were just hooligans taking advantage.

But isn’t that the perfect definition of the political left everywhere and anywhere on planet Earth?

Hooligans taking advantage.

They steal from everyone they can and burn down everything they don’t like. Blame somebody else. And anyone nearby who happens to be a casualty of their antics – eh,sorry.

The difference, of course, is that once you let the progressive socialists take charge of anything for any length of time, the entire landscape is perpetually robbed and ruined.

Russia, Cuba, Venezuela, Mao’s China, Minnesota, California.

Deliberate disorder is the chaos necessary to bring about progressive totalitarian order. And once you have that, the only way to get away from it is to escape the country.

And this is as good a time as any to remind everyone that blue state exit taxes are a great big red flag and a warning. Because the same Democrat Party that insists we let Third-world hooligans loose from sea to shining sea all across the fruited plains, and demand that we let them stay, regardless of the crime or chaos or fiery scuffles that follow them, suddenly won’t let anyone leave.

That’s it for today. Talk to you tomorrow.
