In today’s newsletter, violent unrest continued this weekend across France, with widespread looting and arson. We review how major news organizations are describing the unrest and the growing concerns about attacks targeting Jewish businesses. Tensions in the Middle East remain high as Iran issues new threats, and Houthi militants continue attacking Saudi Arabia. We take a closer look inside a massive Texas data center.

Monday Briefing
The fiery “student” protests in France worsened over the weekend. Thousands of shops have been looted, hundreds of police officers and firefighters injured, and arson has destroyed numerous buildings, including a historic building that housed the tourist office in Lyon and town halls in Limoges and Marseilles. The riots are allegedly in protest of conditions at schools, but it’s become quite obvious that they are internationally-backed communist and socialist revolutionary actions, joined by unassimilated Third World immigrants.
Well, obvious, that is, to everyone except France’s useless lame duck President Emmanel Macron, who still has six months in office to curse his countrymen with. We wonder if there will be a France left by the time he’s finally shown the door.
Over the weekend, Macron gave an address on the riots, and it was nothing but blame-shifting, propaganda and pandering to the rioters By his account, he bears no responsibility for the riots. He suggested that it’s (guess who?) Trump’s fault because the Iran war raised gas prices (the rioters seem to be able to afford plenty of gas for setting fires.) He didn’t even mention his policy of waving in unvetted Muslim migrants with no loyalty to France, instead idiotically lamenting, “How can French people do this to France?” Well, he’s a French person, and he did this to France, so he ought to know.
Macron then took off to Kuwait for a three-day tour of the Gulf. We’d call that shameful, but we can’t imagine that his remaining in France while it’s burning would help in any way. We assume he expects America to once again come in and kick the invaders out for him.
