I doubt these young protesters in Rome have a clue about the historical significance of the Colosseum. What I'm seeing is a GenZ uprising - fed alt-Left ideology all it's young life & without hope for any future. The alt-Left has failed the very people it claims to care about
🚨 UPDATE: Masked rioters, Islamists and leftists STORMED the COLOSSEUM, rushing past the barriers and going haywire in Rome This is NOT just a "protest" about the cost of living, education or any other issue This is about importing an ideology that wants to rip the West apart. DEPORT THEM ALL!

CHAOS INC. — Our @FoxNews Digital investigation is out: France's riots this weekend are part of a wider international narrative of rebellion — a kind of "Chaos Inc." — amplified by a transnational network of communist and socialist organizations stretching from Europe to Asia, Australia, Africa and South America and North America. On @foxandfriends in a few to discuss. My Fox News Digital investigation has identified 54 organizations and movements in France's October student protests and their wider network of supporters and international amplifiers, including communist parties, revolutionary socialist groups, labor unions, environmental activists, Muslim student advocates, Palestinian-solidarity organizations and international media outlets. Of the 54 organizations identified in the October protest ecosystem, 16 — or only about one in three — are student or youth organizations, including communist youth groups and a Muslim student association. The remaining 38 include adult-led communist groups, labor unions, political parties, revolutionary-left organizations, advocacy groups and international propaganda outlets. Fox News Digital has learned an international coalition of 28 communist and socialist youth and organizations are galvanizing students and youth for a coordinated strike across 12 countries in Europe under the slogan "Fight for Our Future, Not Their Wars!" They are calling for walkouts, demonstrations, assemblies, blockades and occupations. foxnews.com/world/whos-who-i…

HOT OFF THE PRESSES. CHAOS INC. is growing. Who is behind the protests in France and Europe? I was just on @FoxBusiness to talk to the amazing @dagenmcdowell about the findings of my new reporting at @FoxNews Digital: 🔴🟢 101 organizations in the "red-green" alliance across 9 counties are fomenting and amplifying the protests in France and Europe (up from 54 orgs yesterday) 🔴🟢 Only 1 in 3 student or youth; the rest are adults 🔴🟢 They plan “Acte II” on Saturday OCTOBER 24 with protests across France 🔴🟢 The protests are being amplified by the network in the US funded by Neville Roy Singham, the American communist tycoon living in Shanghai supporting the Chinese Communist Party.

What if becoming Prime Minister of Canada was just a stepping stone to Mark Carney’s NEXT job? 🇨🇦🇪🇺 Could Canada’s sudden EU pivot have implications beyond trade and Donald Trump? And what exactly would this unprecedented partnership allow? While there’s no evidence Carney is seeking Ursula’s position, the timing and many coincidences certainly raise some fascinating questions.

As more & more Canadians lose jobs due to federal spending cuts we have $ Bs to send to Ukraine into who knows whose hands it ends up
A country 🇨🇦 that’s lost its way. 🚨 Parks Canada plans to eliminate 500 full-time jobs across the country Parks Canada has confirmed plans to cut the equivalent of 500 full-time positions following a federal funding reduction of $145 million over the next three years. Nearly 3,000 employees have been notified that their jobs could be at risk. The agency says some programs and services will be reduced or eliminated, while not every employee who received a letter will lose their job. 🌲 The cuts have sparked concerns about wildlife protection, park maintenance and visitor safety. The union calls the decision disappointing and frustrating, particularly as more Canadians are encouraged to visit national parks. 🔥 Uncertainty is also growing among employees helping rebuild Jasper after the devastating 2024 wildfire. #ParksCanada #Canada #NationalParks

The new doc from Vatican “Venite ad me: Considerations on the Transmission of the Faith in an Epochal Change” warns about being overly moralistic & continues the disturbing trend of many Christian denominations of making concessions to worldly norms & morality, or lack of it. ➡️

There is nothing in the teaching of Jesus & the Apostles that says Christians must adapt themselves to the world & its changing ways. In fact their teaching is to the contrary. The Church is looking more & more pagan by the day
