President Trump is scheduled to arrive in Paris this weekend. Today, almost in an act of divine providence, the government collapsed. French Prime Minister Michel Barnier will submit his resignation to French President Emmanuel Macron tomorrow, according to France’s BFMTV. He is expected at the Elysee Palace at 10am local time. Barnier’s resignation is a constitutional obligation after he lost a vote of no-confidence earlier Wednesday evening triggering the collapse of his government.

I'm afraid that I don't understand the different responsibilities of president and prime minister in France. Then again, I don't really care. I suppose I should care if they were an ally.

Many political parties, none with a majority, and squabbling endlessly without there being a functional government.

Interesting comment thereto: 'Never trust a government that has a President AND a Prime Minister. Bogus' I suspect that the Prime Minister is in charge of herding the cats that pretend to make policies. The President wields the actual power, as instructed by whomever owns him.

Re #4. We were in Paris 5 years ago. The inner city is, of course, nice and historical if you can avoid the pickpockets and Gypsy scammers but the ride to and from the airport is depressing Soviet style apartment houses and graffiti everywhere. I will say the cheese is good but I won't be going back.

Trump should pass on his visit due to the situation. No sense taking chances.

The re-opening of the Notre Dame Cathedral, which suffered extensive fire damage in 2019, occurred on Saturday, and dozens of world leaders were on hand for the festivities. There was one notable absence, though. President Joe Biden was nowhere to be found. Instead, Jill Biden showed up with her daughter. That alone spurred questions given the president has long claimed to be a "devout Catholic." Yet, he couldn't be bothered to show up for a once-in-a-lifetime event that other world leaders flocked to? Of course, while the White House will likely claim a scheduling conflict (there was nothing on the president's schedule for Saturday),

The most sensible Democrat in the land, Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.), is still a man of the left, and so moments of madness are almost as frequent from him as moments of insight, but he has come a very long way down a road that most leftists never travel at all. On Thursday’s episode of “The View,” of all places, he demonstrated a remarkable and unprecedented honesty among leftists regarding the legal persecution of President-elect Trump and offered an intriguing suggestion for what could be done to end it. He still isn’t all the way out of the cult, but Fetterman’s heart is clearly in the right place.

The massacre of October 7th on the Jewish Holiday of Simchat Torah. This historical episode will be spoken about in the futures years and decades as much as people will discuss the Holocaust. Of course, the scope of a one-day massacre of 1,200+ Israeli civilians as opposed to the systemized destruction of an entire race during World War II cannot be compared. However, what happened in that one fateful day was truly analogous to what happened on a single day during the early period of the Holocaust.

Ranking modern presidents, from first to worst, is an entirely subjective matter. That said, we’re quite sure Joe Biden will be, if elected, the most destructive president of our lifetimes if not of all time. At I&I we tend to look at Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama as being the worst presidents from our lifetimes. Carter saw himself as the caretaker of the country’s inevitable decline rather than someone who would lift it from its malaise. Obama managed the worst economic recovery in our post-war history, allowed ISIS to grow into a terrorist power, and rolled over for Iran’s mullahs. His was the most divisive presidency of modern times.

President-elect Donald Trump is off to a strong start with markedly fewer obstructions than the last time he won. In football terms, In nautical terms, it’s plain sailing. In political terms, it might not be a honeymoon, but no one is throwing any furniture, either. he has a lot of green space ahead of him. Naturally, there are all sorts of potential pitfalls. Some of Trump’s more controversial cabinet picks could, if confirmed, blow up once they are in place (does anyone believe that RFK, Jr.’s tenure at Health and Human Services will be smooth and uneventful?). Republicans only have two votes to spare in the House.

Since Elon Musk changed the name of "Twitter" to X, and President-elect Donald Trump mostly posts on Truth Social, his own social media platform, technically his ripostes can no longer be termed "Mean Tweets." But thanks to his epic win on November 5, whatever we want to call them now, Mean Tweets are back on the menu. The Wall Street Journal has been having a normal one this week. First, by dropping a thinly-sourced, concern-trolling piece that Trump may be replacing the embattled Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Tuesday.

There's a real electricity around this often moribund transition period between presidencies. President-elect Donald Trump took about 12 hours to shake off his campaign fatigue and has been nothing but energy since. While the TDS lefties are losing their minds in an attempt derail any future that Pete Hegseth may have at the Pentagon, some of Trump's other nominees are behaving as if the clock has already begun ticking on their official time in office.

Former President Barack Obama is being slammed online for his “hypocrisy” and being “up on his high horse” in response to his first speech following the November election. During his Thursday pluralism-themed address at the Obama Foundation’s Democracy Forum in Chicago, the former president argued that Democrats need to reject “holding hands and singing ‘Kumbaya'” when “one side tries to stack the deck and lock in a permanent grip on power.” “… Let me make this key point: Pluralism is not about holding hands and singing ‘Kumbaya.’ It is not about abandoning your convictions and folding when things get tough,” Obama told the crowd.

Mitch McConnell (R-KY)-aligned Senate Leadership Fund super PAC: “There was a candidate running in Ohio who was a terrible fund-raiser and was not a particularly effective candidate and the rest of the Republican ticket is winning by — from 18 to 24 points,” Mr. Rove said. “

No one seems sure who first said it, maybe Joseph Goebbels, but in any case, it’s a tried-and-tested Alinskyite tactic: accuse your enemy of what you’re doing. Barack Obama is a practiced expert at this, and he gave a master class in it on Thursday at his Obama Foundation’s Orwellian-named Democracy Forum. With some notable and revealing difficulty in getting the words out, Obama accused the Republicans of doing everything that the Democrats have been doing for the past few years: rigging elections, weaponizing the justice system, and trying to ensure that they would remain in power on an indefinite basis. Whatever can be said of Barack Obama, the man

Syrian rebels fighting against the government of President Bashar al-Assad have entered Damascus as they capped a stunning advance across the country. Residents of the capital have reported sounds of gunfire and explosions, with the insurgents announcing they had also liberated the Saydnaya military prison north of capital. On Saturday evening local time, opposition forces took the central city of Homs, Syria's third largest, as government forces abandoned it. The city stands at an important intersection between Damascus, the capital, and Syria's coastal provinces of Latakia and Tartus - the Syrian leader´s base of support and home to a Russian strategic naval base.

Republican Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) is raising concerns that certain establishment GOP lawmakers may quietly undermine President-elect Donald Trump’s agenda despite publicly claiming to support it. As Trump gears up for another four years in the White House, Roy fears some of his colleagues, particularly those with strong ties to the D.C. establishment, will work behind the scenes to thwart his policies or derail his efforts. The Texas representative’s warnings reflect a broader anxiety within the GOP about the deepening divide between the incoming Trump Administration and those deep inside the swamp. In addition to Roy, others also fear these Republicans may prioritize their political futures.

Before the castration spot aired, Ernst was struggling to raise money, trailing Republican frontrunner Mark Jacobs by several points for the GOP nomination. Conservative women — including Sarah Palin — found the ad humorous, endorsed her candidacy, and helped Ernst build her war chest. Within months, she was the undisputed frontrunner.

Joe Scarborough seems to be in the midst of a mental breakdown. Facing falling ratings and immense criticism from his far-left fanbase over meeting with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago, the 'Morning Joe' host lashed out at his audience in an attempt to explain his position. Sitting next to Mika Brzezinski, a clearly annoyed Scarborough shouted at the camera, claiming that he wasn't befriending Trump but was trying to get the "read of the man" as a supposed "journalist." I'm not sure how much sense that makes given he's known the incoming president for decades. How much more of a "read" would he need to garner?
