France‘s police striving to identify and arrest looters who shattered shops in last weekend’s unrest are relying on one tool to trigger their forensic follow-up: social media.
“We are working the social networks… then we go over all that with our own tools, to see if the crimes seen on social media correspond with the crimes we’re studying,” said an officer seated in a special operations room with 10 screens in front of him.

Thousands of Greek students took to the streets on Wednesday (October 21) to protest the high cost of living, citing grievances similar to those fueling recent demonstrations in France and across Europe. Police estimated at least 5,000 people attended the Athens protest. Similar protests also occurred in other major Greek cities, including Thessaloniki. Wednesday marks the second of two days of demonstrations, as teachers strike, students organise marches and education groups demand better funding, safer buildings and improved school conditions.
The protests bring together groups with different demands, from better-resourced public schools to lower costs for university students. Secondary school pupils and teachers are protesting poor infrastructure, a shortage of staff and insufficient public spending on education.
Greek primary education teachers (DOE) are striking for 24 hours on Wednesday, while secondary school teachers (OLME) are staging a work stoppage from 11am to 2pm. The educators are protesting increased class sizes and heavy workload demands, while calling for permanent staff appointments, upgraded facilities and better school funding. OLME said there is a nationwide shortage of 15,000 secondary school teachers.
“In Greece, like in France, we are demanding public, free education,” said Katia Koubousidou, head of a student union at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. “This will not be a one-off protest. We have a plan to continue our demonstrations.”
Former Top Democrat Makes Unexpected Move In Major Senate Race– trendingpoliticsnews.com

EXCERPT:
Former Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin is crossing party lines to campaign alongside Republican Sen. Susan Collins in Maine, delivering a significant boost to the GOP incumbent as she fights to retain her seat in one of the nation’s most closely watched Senate races.
Collins’ campaign confirmed Monday that Manchin, who represented West Virginia for more than a decade before leaving the Democratic Party, will join her Wednesday for campaign appearances in Lewiston and Norway.
The unusual alliance comes just two weeks before the November 3 midterm elections, when Republicans will attempt to maintain control of the Senate against a determined Democratic effort to flip several competitive seats.
Collins is seeking a sixth term against Democrat Troy Jackson, a former Maine Senate president who has attracted support from prominent progressive figures, including Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.
Manchin, who became an independent in 2024 before retiring from Congress, has emerged as an outspoken defender of Collins despite her Republican affiliation.
The former senator endorsed Collins in September, describing her as “the soul of the Senate” and praising her willingness to work across party lines.
New Mexico’s Seven-Day Waiting Period Already Lost in the Tenth Circuit. NSSF, NRA and SAF Just Sued to Make the State Stop Enforcing It.– www.usacarry.com

Key Takeaways
- Nine plaintiffs filed a federal lawsuit against New Mexico to stop enforcement of a seven-day firearm waiting period deemed unconstitutional by the Tenth Circuit.
- The plaintiffs, including the NRA and the National Shooting Sports Foundation, claim the law violates their rights despite prior court rulings.
- House Bill 129 enforces a waiting period for buyers who already pass federal background checks, and the plaintiffs argue it remains in effect unlawfully.
- The complaint requests a formal declaration that HB129 is unconstitutional and seeks to block the Attorney General from enforcing it.
- The article highlights the tension between state actions and federal court rulings, emphasizing that a win in court does not ensure immediate compliance in practice.

ALBUQUERQUE, NM — Nine plaintiffs led by the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the National Rifle Association of America, and the Second Amendment Foundation filed a federal lawsuit on October 19, 2026, asking a court to stop New Mexico from enforcing a seven-day firearm waiting period that the Tenth Circuit already held unconstitutional. The complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Mexico as Case No. 1:26-cv-03514 and names Attorney General Raúl Torrez, in his official capacity, as the sole defendant. The New Mexico Firearms Industry Association, the New Mexico Shooting Sports Association, Calibers Shooting Sports Center, Omni Tactical USA, Right to Bear Arms, and Peter Hackett round out the plaintiff list.
When the district court ruled on remand in August, I covered it: Federal Judge Still Thinks New Mexico’s Seven-Day Gun Waiting Period Is Constitutional. He Blocked It Anyway Because the Tenth Circuit Tied His Hands. What is new is the plaintiffs’ allegation that the judgment did not end the matter. The complaint opens by saying the plaintiffs “regret that they have been left with no choice but to file this lawsuit,” and NSSF’s announcement frames the filing as the response to a governor ignoring court rulings that declared the law unconstitutional. NRA-ILA’s post calls it, pointedly, another lawsuit over the same law.

French PM vows ‘massive’ police deployment for new demonstrations– www.channelnewsasia.com

EXCERPT:
PARIS: French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu on Tuesday (Oct 20) vowed a “massive” police presence at fresh protests called for the coming weekend, as he faced criticism over the handling of recent street violence.
The eurozone’s second-largest economy was rocked on Saturday by some of its worst rioting in recent years, just six months before voters head to the polls to elect a successor to President Emmanuel Macron.
Facing angry lawmakers in parliament, Lecornu acknowledged that the security response had fallen short and promised a stronger approach ahead of a new wave of protests.
“The deployment for next Saturday will be massive,” Lecornu said.
He accused ultra-left radical groups of forging an “insurrectionary plan” that led to the riots, which erupted on the sidelines of nationwide protests over the cost of living.
Images of clashes, mobs looting stores and public buildings set ablaze last weekend prompted several countries, including the United States, China and Germany, to issue travel advisories for their citizens in France.
French authorities on Monday announced partial curfews in Paris and some other cities, and Lecornu said new curfews would be imposed on Tuesday where needed.
Paris police ordered a temporary ban on people carrying cans or bottles of petrol or gas, after mobs set fire to government buildings and shops last weekend.
CNNs Jeff Zeleny Says Abdul El-Sayed Strongly Condemned Muslim Brotherhood– www.newsbusters.org

EXCERPT:
It’s two weeks away from the midterms, and judging from much of their coverage, the liberal media seems to believe they need to push Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed over the finish line, in order to take control of the U.S. Senate. On CNN’s Inside Politics Sunday from Washington, Chief National Security Correspondent Jeff Zeleny seemed to loss sight of this, but he more than made up for it hours later on CNN’s Newsroom.
Saturday, at a town hall in Caro, Michigan, El-Sayed was asked whether he would disavow the Muslim Brotherhood, and gave a dismissive answer of, “Sure. Yeah, absolutely”, before turning the tables on the questioner and pressing him on why he would ask such a question. Inside Politics Sunday host Manu Raju played the question and then a small portion of El-Sayed’s response.
CLIP OF UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Will you disavow the Muslim Brotherhood?
EL-SAYED: Sure. Yeah, absolutely. You’re asking the question because implicitly you assume that I’ll have dual loyalties, right? You assume that somehow I wouldn’t disavow or that I’ll have some higher order allegiance than to the Constitution. For me, that Constitution is the guiding light.
Raju first turned to CNN Analyst Zolan Kanno-Youngs, with a surprising question.
RAJU: How do you think, Zolan, he has handled these questions through the course of this campaign? Here he was. He tried to go after this voter who was asking him a question. Will you disavow the Muslim Brotherhood?
KANNO-YOUNGS: That’s right. Concern from Jewish voters as well. I think we can also state that and that there is concern there.
And then also state that also there has been a lot of attacks as well from the Republican Party that has dipped into Islamophobia as well, you know, specifying full name as well, trying to make these —
RAJU: Trump calling him Mohammed.
KANNO-YOUNGS: Right, right. Trump calling —
RAJU: His name is Abdul.

None of your outlets reported it. It took one brave kid and a camera to make everyone aware of this, and it launched a revolution,” while pointing toward Shirley.
WE ARE ALL LEARING THE HARD WAY The infamous Quality LEARING Center is caught in more lies as they received $1.9 Million this year in 2025 and were shut down a week ago according to the Children Commissioner yet they continue to “operate” to try and save face as they have been caught.

France Braces for More Violence as Another Weekend of Far-Left Rioting Planned– slaynews.com

EXCERPT:
France faces even more devastating violence this weekend as far-left activists, migrants, and criminal groups prepare for more rioting.
Antifa-linked groups are preparing further riots near a convention for France’s right-wing opposition party, National Rally.
It comes days after nationwide riots overwhelmed police and exposed major failures in President Emmanuel Macron’s security operation.
An internal State Department assessment warns that far-left riots near the October 24–25 gathering in Orléans could become “potentially more confrontational” and “expose further security shortcomings and deepen political tensions.”
The warning identifies far-left groups, migrants, and criminals as potential participants in renewed unrest as National Rally leader Marine Le Pen prepares to launch her presidential campaign at the convention.
National Rally President Jordan Bardella has ruled out canceling the congress.
Local authorities are preparing additional security restrictions around the venue.

The problem with the government infringing on our rights is that they were never given that power. This is why our founding documents explicitly state that our rights come from God, making them inalienable. This is not rocket science, but anyone who disagrees is a tyrannical buffoon who should be automatically barred from holding office. Abdul El-Sayed is that person.
According to El-Sayed, there is this little thing called context. And when the Constitution was written, the context was that guns were nothing like they are today. He believes innovation is not allowed when it comes to the Second Amendment. You can kiss your guns goodbye, and maybe the government will allow you to own a musket or two, but only if you are good.

The School Board Circus Has a New Ringmaster – PJ Media– pjmedia.com

EXCERPT:
School board meetings are supposed to be about education. Increasingly, they resemble political theater, with one important difference: the people running the show don’t always realize they’re the punchline.
Enter Shamgar Connors, a former public-school teacher who has decided that if officials insist on defending policies he considers absurd, the least he can do is give those policies the characters they deserve. One minute he’s Shamgarita, a WNBA hopeful and captain of the Pronoun Protectors. The next, he’s Wolfgar, a furry taking his case to the public-comment podium. The costumes change. The questions don’t: Who gets to decide what happens in our schools, and why are parents so often treated like the problem?
Connors joined me on Dangerous Laughter for an episode that proves political comedy gets a lot more interesting when the comedian is willing to become the spectacle. Shamgarita’s basketball credentials are impeccable by the standards of her fictional league: her only tryout was identifying as a player, so she’s already made the team. Her game combines layups with manifestation, and her team is ready to take on anyone foolish enough to ask what, exactly, qualifies someone to play in the WNBA.
I couldn’t resist pointing out that Connors had once been annoyed with me for putting a different bearded lady on the cover of my latest book, The Curse of the Bearded Lady: How the Trans Mafia Whacked American Sanity. Apparently, there’s room for more than one bearded lady in the cultural circus. Mine made the cover; Shamgarita brought her own jersey. Either way, the joke points toward a serious question running through both the book and our conversation: what happens when institutions demand that people accept claims they believe contradict reality?
French 10-year bond yield hits 5% for first time since 2002 amid unrest– www.cnbc.com

EXCERPT:
The yield on France’s benchmark 10-year government bond briefly crossed the 5% threshold for the first time since 2002 on Wednesday, as the country grapples with multiple crises.
Mass civil unrest resulted in a swathe of violent protests and rioting over the weekend, amid broad public dissatisfaction. Meanwhile, the French government is struggling to pass a federal budget through a divided parliament as market pressure for significant fiscal consolidation mounts in response to a swelling national debt and wide deficit.
The yield on the 10-year OAT was last seen around 6 basis points higher at 4.9794%, after rising above 5% shortly before 11:30 a.m. in Paris (5:30 a.m. ET).
Data issues stall AI projects at most organisations– itbrief.co.uk
News Source
EXCERPT:
Iron Mountain has published research indicating that data issues are delaying or cancelling artificial intelligence projects at most organisations. The study found that 86% of respondents had faced disruption to AI work over the past 12 months.
The findings point to a gap between companies’ stated AI ambitions and the condition of the information needed to support wider deployment. While 95% of organisations said using data to improve business outcomes is a top priority, many are still struggling with fragmented systems, unstructured content and older information stores.
The survey, conducted by Vanson Bourne and commissioned by Iron Mountain, found that 81% of organisations believe AI cannot scale beyond pilot projects unless siloed and unstructured content is turned into AI-ready data. It also showed that only 39% of respondents fall into what the report describes as a “digitized and structured” category, where dark data is centrally managed, indexed and available for analytics and AI use.
Manual preparation remains a significant burden. Four in 10 organisations said they spend at least 41% of AI project timelines on manual data preparation, suggesting much of the work required to move AI projects into production still lies in data handling rather than model development or deployment.
Following mass riots, France debt interest soars to 4.94%, reaching risk levels not seen since 2012– rmx.news
News Source
EXCERPT:
Investors sold off French government bonds after a weekend of violent protests, pushing the yield on the country’s 10-year debt as high as 4.94 percent on Monday and widening the premium over German bonds toward levels last seen during the eurozone debt crisis.
With some of the most violent images of the protest involving predominately migrant youths, the social unrest crisis and decades of mass immigration could actually lead to a debt crisis as well.
The sell-off followed days of unrest over the cost of living and conditions in schools that turned into riots, with thousands of arrests, looted shops and damaged public buildings across France, according to French news outlet BFMTV.
Yields rise when bond prices fall, and the jump in French borrowing costs reflected investor concern that the disorder would make it harder for the government to reduce its large deficit and debt.
The gap between French and German 10-year yields, a key measure of the risk premium on French debt, widened sharply and approached or reached its highest level since 2012, according to market data. fSome accounts put the French 10-year yield’s rise at as much as 16 basis points on the day, leaving it near multi-decade highs.

“Speaking about early warning, which is very important for our people, our children, adults, civilians because we can hear when ballistic[s] is coming – so we are thankful to American side, now it works, it’s great,” the Ukrainian president said.
He said he also hoped for a good result on SpaceX’s Starlink satellite access as well, after Ukraine’s military had reported in recent days speed restrictions on the US platform used by Kyiv to carry out drone strikes against Russia.
Before the Oslo talks, Zelensky said he had had a “constructive discussion” with Rubio about the need for US early warnings, missile interceptors and Starlink.
Last week, a bipartisan group of US senators called for an urgent investigation into speed restrictions to the Starlink network in Ukraine.
And Zelensky also restated that Ukraine was “ready for negotiations” to end the war.
“Of course, we are not losing this war, but we are losing people because Russia attacks,” he said.

Ilhan Omar’s Troubles Deepen As Investigators Cast A Wider Net– wltreport.com
News Source
EXCERPT:
The federal investigation surrounding Rep. Ilhan Omar appears to be growing wider, more serious and increasingly difficult for Washington’s political class to dismiss as background noise.
Federal authorities searched Omar’s Washington, D.C. residence on October 12 under a warrant authorized by a judge. The investigation reportedly concerns immigration records, but the affidavit laying out the government’s evidence remains sealed.
That means the public still does not know the government’s full theory of the case. Omar has not been charged with a crime, and a search warrant—no matter how consequential—does not establish guilt.
The known investigative steps are substantial.
According to CBS News, agents seized Omar’s cellphone while more than a dozen grand-jury subpoenas were issued, including subpoenas to members of her family. Investigators were reportedly seeking immigration-related records.
A phone can contain messages, contacts, photographs, documents and location information. Subpoenas to relatives can reach records and testimony outside the control of the main subject.
Fifth Circuit Strikes Down FCC’s $9 Billion Telecom Fund– legalinsurrection.com

EXCERPT:
The FCC has spent nearly three decades using a private nonprofit to collect and distribute billions in telecommunications subsidies. On Thursday, a federal appeals court found a rather basic problem with that arrangement: Congress never authorized the agency to create the company.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled unanimously in Consumers’ Research v. FCC that Congress never authorized the FCC to establish the Universal Service Administrative Company (USAC), which has managed the Universal Service Fund since the late 1990s. The three-judge panel vacated the contribution rate for the fourth quarter of 2025 and sent the matter back to the agency
Judge Edith Brown Clement didn’t have to look far to find the problem. The FCC created a corporation to carry out federal responsibilities without Congress’s permission.
Her opinion states:
“Because Congress never specifically authorized the FCC to establish USAC, we hold that the agency violated the Government Corporation Control Act (“GCCA”) by creating the corporation.”

EXCERPT:
One of the biggest artificial intelligence developers wants the federal government to be able to halt its models only when a catastrophe is imminent.
A draft federal AI safety bill pitched by Anthropic, tentatively called the Artificial Intelligence Evaluation, Governance, and Incident Safety (AEGIS) Act, would let the Commerce Department seek a court order to pause an AI model only when it threatens to kill or seriously injure more than 50 people or cause over $1 billion in damages, according to a copy of the bill’s draft. Anthony Cimino, Anthropic’s head of federal affairs, defended these thresholds on X Sunday.
“The term ‘enumerated risk’ means a foreseeable and material risk that a frontier developer’s development, storage, use, or deployment of a frontier model will materially contribute to the death of, or serious injury to, more than 50 people, or to more than $1,000,000,000 in damage to, or more than $1,000,000,000 in loss of, property, arising from a single incident involving the frontier model,” the Sept. 29 draft of the AEGIS Act stated in part.
“The threshold in our draft language pulled directly from existing standards in California law,” Cimino stated on X in part, responding to Encode AI general counsel Nathan Calvin’s dissatisfaction with the proposed bill. “Also, this threshold does not absolve companies of liability, or restrict any of the other tools that the government has to protect the public.”

Trump Signs New Order Targeting Russia And Iran– trendingpoliticsnews.com
News Source
EXCERPT:
President Donald Trump has signed a sweeping new executive order establishing massive tariffs and sanctions targeting Russia and countries that help Moscow evade American restrictions, marking another major development in Washington’s efforts to confront foreign adversaries.
The order, signed Friday, October 16, implements the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026, legislation Trump signed into law on September 18.
The measure establishes a framework for imposing tariffs of up to 500 percent on Russian imports while threatening additional penalties against countries purchasing Russian energy or helping Moscow circumvent existing sanctions.
However, the president also exercised his authority to temporarily waive the new penalties, leaving the administration with the ability to activate them at a later date.
Under the executive order, goods imported directly from Russia would face an additional 500 percent tariff. Countries identified among the five largest importers of Russian crude oil and natural gas could also face 100 percent tariffs on their goods if they knowingly make new purchases of Russian energy beginning October 18.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The embattled French President Emmanuel Macron on Sunday pinned some of the blame on the U.S. war against the terrorist regime in Iran for the widespread riots and looting unfolding across France.
The controversial passage referring to the Iran war from his televised speech triggered criticism from some experts. Macron said that “demonstrators expressed concern about the cost of living and the price of fuel. Both are driven by the conflict launched in the Persian Gulf, a conflict in which France has taken no part but whose consequences we are suffering.”
He added, “I fully understand their concern. It is being expressed in several other European capitals as well. That is why I have taken several initiatives at the international level to secure our fuel and our gas and to act on energy markets.” Macron announced that he would be traveling to the Gulf on a three-nation stop to discuss the energy crisis.
It is unclear which demonstrators Macron signaled out for alleged concerns about fuel prices. Fox News Digital reported on Monday on the inner workings of the large-scale riots with many of the groups named seeking to abolish the free enterprise system.

Rediscovered DHS Docs Suggest Ilhan Omar May Have Never Been US Citizen in First Place– www.westernjournal.com

EXCERPT:
The foundation for Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar’s claim to be a United States citizen seems increasingly dubious.
The lawmaker’s citizenship status has been dominating headlines ever since her Washington, D.C., home was raided last week in what reports have said is a criminal case related to immigration issues.
Omar, whose family came to America from Somalia, claimed in 2018 that she became a citizen through her father.
“I became a citizen actually before I turned 18. My father became a citizen and so I got my citizenship through that process,” she said, according to The Intercept.
A report in the New York Post said that congressional staff pushed to have Omar’s official birth date in the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library changed from 1981 to 1982, which would align with her narrative.
Former political rival A.J. Kern said Omar “claims her citizenship narrative is that she derived citizenship through her father when she was a 17-year-old minor.”
