Riots Erupt In France As Far-Left Fuels Unrest For Second Weekend

Riots Erupt In France As Far-Left Fuels Unrest For Second Weekend

Summary:

Despite France Deploying Extra Police, Riots Continue 
EU’s Far-Left Uprising Is a Security Concern 
Riots Begin In France, Spread To Brussels 
France Deploys 70,000 Police As Cities Brace For Far-Left Chaos  
French Riots Begin

By late afternoon, riots had spread to multiple cities, and France had deployed 70,000 police officers across major metro areas nationwide.

Here’s where police are deployed to counter far-left groups trying to overthrow capitalism and the government while sparking chaos across the West.

The New York Times cited Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez, who estimated turnout at 35,000 by midday nationwide, well below the level recorded at the same point last Saturday. More than half a million people had demonstrated by the end of that day.

Far-left riots spreading to Brussels:

Europe has a far-left extremism crisis, something we’ve outlined. We’ve also reported that high-level US State Department officials met with their European counterparts over the summer to discuss the matter.

The riots are embarrassing for the European progressive experiment, as lefty corporate media outlets run cover for the left. BBC News described the riots as “mostly peaceful” last week, while other left-wing outlets downplayed the chaos. 

One has to wonder why this surge of highly coordinated unrest by far-left groups has accelerated now and whether it reflects a pressure campaign toward the rising right wing, from Germany to France, where Le Pen leads the polls. Nomura analysts also anticipate a rightward shift during Europe’s election cycle over the next year and a half.

France Deploys 70,000 Police As Cities Brace For Far-Left Chaos  

France deployed as many as 70,000 police officers across major metro areas on Saturday morning to prevent another far-left uprising, as the Macron government is plagued by a growing list of crises, including social unrest, financial turmoil and unfettered mass migration.

The deployment, reinforced by military troops, armored vehicles, drones and helicopters, is centered on Paris, Marseille, Lyon and other cities. Several municipalities banned downtown protests, and authorities maintained curfews into the weekend.

Rioting last week resulted in more than 2,500 arrests, nearly 1,000 injured police officers and over 3,000 looted stores. The unrest has disrupted business activity and prompted Paris retailers to board up their storefronts.

Self-described anti-communist analyst Karlyn Borysenko provided her analysis of the highly coordinated uprisings by the far left:

The riots in France started as a student uprising. There were certainly students from immigrant communities involved in the uprising. The uprising was facilitated by by their teachers, just like what happens in the United States. It was caused by leftist indoctrination in schools, with teachers training the students to be activists – that is the cause. 

Following the start of the student movement, it expanded to include teachers, university students, the major labor unions and the antifa/anti-capitalist groups. All of it is grounded in far-left ideology. They are explicitly calling for the communist overthrow of the government and now it is bleeding into other countries in the region. That is what all the evidence says. And I’ve collected primary source evidence from multiple groups, including recordings you refuse to look at. 

The communists in France are saying explicitly it’s not a protest. It’s about overthrowing the capitalist French government and installing a worker’s government. The uprising in France is a communist revolution. They don’t mention Muslims or Islam once @RealAlexJones. https://t.co/3cJHxDw6ZC
— Karlyn Borysenko, anti-communist cult leader (@DrKarlynB) October 23, 2026
Earlier in the week, Fox News’ Asra Nomani released a report that identified the dozens of groups behind the unrest, in which her team found: 

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.

FIRST ON FOX: France is bracing for another weekend of protests involving nearly 300 organizations, including 50 self-described Antifa groups. @AsraNomani reports that a Fox News Digital investigation identified 287 groups and 649 planned protest actions, with organizers coordinating transportation, fundraising and protests. The network extends far beyond student groups, including communist and socialist organizations, labor unions and other activist groups. Only 27 identified groups are student or youth organizations, despite the protests originally focusing on education concerns. See how the groups are coordinating ahead of this weekend’s protests: https://t.co/IcspQdDArt

Nomani highlighted the spread of protests and riots across multiple countries. One possible view is that far-left groups are attempting to turn local grievances into a broader revolutionary campaign. 

RED PROPAGANDA: It’s global. Don’t fall for it. Read the handle for this account: @ProudSocialist. This account is part of the pro-communist propaganda machine that is making the world blow up right now with fake grassroots protests. What you can see in these videos and images from Albania to India and France in between is the AGITATION PROPAGANDA of socialists, communists and far-leftists. Inoculate your brain. Don’t fall for the BRAIN WASHING. What you’re seeing is a concentrated communist campaign supported by the propaganda arms of a transnational network funded by American-born communist tech tycoon Neville Roy Singham. They deny their are TROJAN HORSES for malign foreign influence. What do you think?
— Asra Nomani (@AsraNomani) October 23, 2026
Beyond weeks of social unrest in France and the Macron government still struggling to squash this movement, Moody’s on Friday spared the country from a credit ratings downgrade. 

“The Aa3 rating assumes that a deficit-reducing budget for 2027 will be adopted, while financing costs and social tensions will abate somewhat in the next few months,” Moody’s said in a statement.

France’s OAT-Bund spread closed around 167.4 bps on Friday, approaching levels seen at the height of the eurozone sovereign debt crisis.

Review the latest:

OAT-Bund Spread Hits EU Crisis Level Highs
France’s Debt Crisis Is No Longer The Story… Contagion Is
Lefty corporate media has run cover for the far left, with the BBC calling riots “mostly peaceful.” One assessment is that the far left views sustained disruption as a way to get concessions as the government discusses reducing the budget deficit, which would certainly impact handouts. These groups are also resisting a potential Le Pen presidency. 

And of course, these groups also have anti-capitalist ambitions and aim to destroy the Western world. One immediate risk is that instability could drag on into the months ahead.

58% Of Americans Get Their News From Four Left-Leaning Aggregators; Study Finds

58% Of Americans Get Their News From Four Left-Leaning Aggregators; Study Finds

Authored by Bryan Hyde via American Greatness,

A new study from a conservative media watchdog group has found that nearly 60 percent of Americans get their news from at least one of the Big Four news aggregators: Apple News, Google News, Yahoo News and Microsoft’s MSN.

Just the News reports that, according to MRC’s tracking and research data, these four applications sit on nearly every smartphone in America and serve as a dominant news window for an estimated 58 percent of Americans.

According to the MRC’s special report, released earlier this month, all four aggregators exhibit a heavy left-wing bias by overwhelmingly surfacing mainstream and left-leaning publications while filtering out conservative outlets.

MRC STUDY: Right-leaning outlets were 15% of the top news sites studied, but got just 1% of Apple News feed appearances and 2.7% on Google News. 10 months of data. https://t.co/RbvnEh9XNm
— Media Research Center (@theMRC) October 10, 2026
Out of 487 top stories last February on Google News, the MRC reports that only 11, or 2.2 percent, were right-leaning; 314, or 64.5 percent, were left-leaning and 162, or 33.3 percent, were in the center.

David Bozell, who leads the Media Research Center, reported that after analyzing one month of stories on Apple News, his group found that of 620 stories that Apple had promoted on its top feeds, “not a single one of those stories was from a right-wing news source. Not one. Zero.”

According to the MRC, out of the 620 top stories on Apple News last January, there were zero right-leaning ones and 440 left-leaning.

Meanwhile, articles on popular websites such as Fox News and the New York Post were never promoted.

A more in-depth “Big Four” analysis in April showed the apps promoted 92 percent left-leaning outlets and only 17 percent of right-leaning ones, according to Just the News.

“NPR was linked by Apple 155 times in six months,” Bozell told Full Measure. “It was linked by Google 121 times in six months. … How is that? NPR, National Public Radio, [is] the 20th most-popular news website in America today, whereas the New York Post is in the top 10 and Breitbart is in the top 35.” Right-leaning news “gets no love from these guys.”

According to Just the News, Bozell says the audience is left with little choice because, for example, Apple News is preloaded on iPhones while Google News is preloaded on Androids.

Bozell called for news consumers speak up and demand a more diverse mix of information from the Big Four news apps.

Legendary Law Prof Alan Dershowitz on Ilhan Omar: ‘In Much Deeper Trouble Than She’s Willing to Admit’ (VIDEO)

October 24, 2026 MMN Editor Filed Under: THE NEWS

Alan Dershowitz
Legendary Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz offered some commentary on the Ilhan Omar situation during a recent appearance on Newsmax. He suggested that the situation is far worse than Omar is letting on and seems to think that deportation is a very real possibility.
Derhowitz also uses his legal expertise to explain how the statute of limitations may not work in Omar’s defense because it could be classified as an ongoing conspiracy.
He even goes so far as to predict that she will resign from Congress amid the probe.
From Newsmax:
Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz predicted on Newsmax on Friday that Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., will resign from Congress. He said mounting questions about her identity and immigration history could cost her citizenship if they are proved.
“I think she will resign from Congress,” Dershowitz said on “The Record With Greta Van Susteren.”
“I don’t think that she’s going to want to see congressional investigations.”
Omar has not been charged with a crime and has denied wrongdoing.
Dershowitz said the questions surrounding Omar could be settled through a DNA test and records showing the birth date she has used over the years. He acknowledged that she may lack a birth certificate because of the turmoil in her native Somalia.
He argued that the key issue is Omar’s date of birth, alleging that she and her father might have misrepresented her age to make her eligible for citizenship through him. Dershowitz claimed she would not have qualified had she been over 18.
“If that’s true, she’s done,” he said. “Her naturalization can be undone. She can be deported. She can be forced to leave Congress.”
Watch the video clip below:

NEW: Alan Dershowitz predicts Ilhan Omar “DEPORTATION” is “VERY LIKELY”
This is huge coming from Dershowitz.
The professor emeritus of Harvard Law School particularly highlighted how Omar responded, “Not to my knowledge” when asked if she was related to her former husband.… pic.twitter.com/fdGfODI3iI

Netanyahu Locks Down West Bank, Launches Massive Operation After Two IDF Soldiers Killed

October 24, 2026 MMN Editor Filed Under: THE NEWS

Netanyahu Locks Down West Bank, Launches Massive Operation After Two IDF Soldiers Killed

Just a few days away from Israel’s national elections, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered a major new military and security operation in the occupied West Bank late Friday into Saturday. It is expected to continue through next week, when Israelis head to the polls.

Mass arrests are being carried out, as well as home and neighborhood demolitions. The action follows a Friday incident where two Palestinian gunmen shot and killed two Israeli soldiers at a checkpoint near Hebron.

Getty ImagesThe suspected gunmen were shot dead in the immediate security response, and the West Bank was immediately put on full lock-down, amid Israeli house-to-house searches in the neighborhood where the attackers were believed to be from. The attackers had each reportedly been armed with an M16 rifle and a handgun.

“We will act to destroy this place, ⁠to change it completely,” Netanyahu said. Already there are reports that family members and relatives of the two shooters have had their homes demolished, with area residents forcibly displaced.

The prime minister said further, “When we win the election, we’ll finish the job. We’ve completed 90 percent; we need to take it all the way, that means bringing down the Iranian regime and finishing off Hamas and Hezbollah.”

NEW: Two Israeli soldiers were killed and three wounded this morning when two Palestinian gunmen opened fire at a temporary checkpoint near Hebron in the occupied West Bank. The IDF named the dead as Staff Sgt. Ron Yonatan Roytman, 23, from Ashkelon, and Sgt. Yuval Shai Svilem, 20, from Hod Hasharon. Netanyahu ordered preparations for a full closure of the West Bank ahead of Israel’s October 27 election.
— Clash Report (@clashreport) October 23, 2026
And so the timing of the decision to lock down the whole of the West Bank is obviously politically driven to a large degree, in order to signal Israel domestically.

Al Jazeera reports that already some 2,200 local Palestinians have been expelled from their homes:

Hebron Mayor Yousef al-Ja’bari tells Al Jazeera around 2,200 Palestinians have been forcibly displaced from their homes in the city’s al-Jalda and Ein Deir Bahha neighbourhoods, as Israeli forces continue military operation in the occupied West Bank.
Israeli forces arrest scores of Palestinians across the West Bank, the Palestinian Prisoners’ Club rights group says, with raids reported in 15 areas, including Ramallah, Jenin, Nablus, Bethlehem, Jerusalem, Al-Bireh and Birzeit.
Tensions were already soaring even more this latest attack on an Israeli checkpoint, and so this new large-scale operation could bring more such incidents, given Palestinians perceive that the likely end goal of Israeli forces is to eradicate their existence from the land.

Reports of large iron gates erected around Hebron:

Israel seals Hebron with 106 iron gates and moves to annex Ibrahimi Mosque amid West Bank siege —— Israeli authorities have severed Hebron from the rest of the occupied West Bank, sealing the governorate behind 106 iron gates and blocking 16 major access roads with earth mounds. Hebron Governor Khaled Dodin revealed during a press conference that the sweeping military closure serves as a physical framework for the systematic annexation of the historic Ibrahimi Mosque, according to Anadolu Agency. Occupation forces have advanced unauthorized construction on the sanctuary’s roof while seizing municipal infrastructure, water networks, and electrical controls. The administrative takeover was codified when Tel Aviv stripped the Hebron Municipality of its legal management powers, transferring jurisdiction directly to the nearby illegal Kiryat Arba settlement. Palestinian officials denounced the move as a flagrant assault on the historical status quo of the holy site, noting that occupation forces have banned the Muslim call to prayer for ten consecutive days and barred local worshippers. The siege on the sanctuary unfolds alongside a broader colonial land grab that has seen the establishment of over 20 new illegal settlement outposts and more than 700 recorded occupation and settler attacks across the governorate.
— The Cradle (@TheCradleMedia) October 24, 2026
Israeli rights group B’Tselem has condemned the action, warning against “collective punishment and acts that could constitute war crimes.”

The IDF military has responded to mounting criticism by saying it is allowing Hebron and other residents viable exit points.

“The forces have begun conducting precise, targeted and thorough searches throughout the area to locate and dismantle terrorist infrastructure and weapons, while questioning suspects,” the IDF and Shin Bet announced in the statement.

“The operation is targeted and limited to the area from which the terrorists operated, and is expected to continue for several days,” it added. “Residents living in the area will be able to exit through three designated checkpoints after questioning,” the statement indicated further.

— Mario Nawfal (@MarioNawfal) October 24, 2026
The military would also be “demolishing illegal structures that could pose a security threat at the site of the encounter,” it said. But some international monitors have pointed to another operation that paves the way for a land grab and Jewish settler expansion under the guise of a counter-terror operation.

Bet365 Bonus Code: Get up to $200 in Bonus Bets for College Football Week 8

October 24, 2026 MMN Editor Filed Under: THE NEWS

There are tons of college football games on the schedule for today, and there are plenty of excellent ones for you to choose from. Bet365 is offering new users $200 in bonus bets when you wager $10 on any of the games from today’s slate. This week we see some important matchups on the schedule for many teams. Last week we saw most of the top teams taking on one of their toughest opponents of the season. This week has a lot fewer big games on the schedule, but any week can be a tough week for teams.The NIL era seems to have brought schools closer together in terms of talent than ever before. Texas A&M has had a decent season, but their hope is most likely to be a good bowl game. They come into the game with a 4-3 record. Their losses were to Kentucky, LSU and Missouri. None of the losses were particularly close, either. They don’t really have an overly impressive win on the schedule, but this would be a big victory for them.Alabama has lost two games in a row for the first time since 2007. The Crimson Tide are 5-2 for the season, dropping back-to-back games against Georgia and Tennessee. They lost by just three to Georgia and couldn’t get any offense going in the fourth quarter. In last week’s game, they lost by 16 on the road. Once again, the offense struggled, and they only scored 10 points. The Crimson Tide cannot lose another game this season, or they are likely going to be out of the playoffs. This is a “get right” game for them, but Texas A&M is no slouch. Will we see another upset? Bet365 is offering new users a chance to wager $10 and receive $200 in bonus bets. Odds are subject to change

Week 8 brings us even closer to the College Football Playoffs, and each week puts another piece of the puzzle together. BetMGM is offering new users a promo code of FOXNEWS, which gives them up to $1,500 in bonuses if their first bet loses.There are plenty of great games for us to choose from on Saturday. Utah vs. Houston is the last game of the night and one of the best on the schedule. The game of the evening is between Ole Miss and Texas, important for both teams if they want to keep their playoff hopes alive. A different game is drawing attention, though. LSU takes on Auburn in the early slate of games, and it is worth paying attention to it. LSU comes into the game ranked 18th in the nation. In their first season under Lane Kiffin, the team is 5-2 for the year with a 2-2 SEC record. We all know about the biggest loss on the schedule — that was to Ole Miss. However, a couple of weeks ago, they also lost on the road to Kentucky in overtime. Last week, they beat Mississippi State 31-0, essentially ending the Bulldogs’ playoff hopes. Auburn is 4-2 for the season, and they are just 2-2 in SEC play. Their two losses this year were to Florida and Tennessee. Florida looked like one of the best teams in the country at the time, and Tennessee is one of the ranked teams currently. Both teams were relatively close, but the most impressive work from the Tigers came last week as they went on the road and beat Georgia 27-24. Will LSU find a way to win this one, or can Auburn continue to fight with the big dogs in the SEC?

AOC’s ‘Tax the Rich’ Campaign Spent About $47K on 45 Luxury Hotel Stays

October 24, 2026 MMN Editor Filed Under: THE NEWS

AOC at the Met Gala
Democratic Socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s re-election campaign has spent roughly $47,000 on 45 hotel stays nationwide since April, according to Federal Election Commission filings.
The spending, reviewed by the New York Post, includes multiple charges at properties rated luxury, upscale, or upper-upscale while the far-left congresswoman continues to attack wealth and “the oligarchy.”
The largest bill was $5,044 at The Memphian, a boutique hotel in Memphis that features spa services and an animal-themed rooftop bar.
The campaign also paid $2,694 and $1,599 at The Candler Hotel in Atlanta, a four-star historic property with an acclaimed restaurant, and $2,274 at The Talbott in Chicago’s Gold Coast neighborhood. Rooms at these hotels typically run from roughly $130 to $600 per night depending on the property and date.
Additional charges include $530.46 at the Thompson Central Park hotel in Manhattan, where rooms can reach $1,852 a night, and $318 at the Hyatt Seville NoMad.
The campaign also splurged for luxury transportation, including more than $1,400 to the chauffeur service BlackLane and hundreds more to other car services.
Despite her “Eat the Rich” persona, Ocasio-Cortez clearly enjoys the perks of wealth.
In 2025, AOC’s campaign spent approximately $53,500 on luxury and boutique hotels, including thousands at properties in Puerto Rico around the time she attended a Bad Bunny concert and posted about gentrification on the island.
Earlier filings tied to her “Fight Oligarchy” tour with Sen. Bernie Sanders showed thousands more spent at high-end hotels in Las Vegas, Salt Lake City, and Tucson.
The latest hotel spending comes as Ocasio-Cortez travels the country stumping for other Democrat candidates ahead of the midterms and as speculation continues about a possible 2028 presidential or Senate run.
Anthony Constantino, the GOP candidate in New York’s 21st District, told The Post, “All Democrats want to do is take donor money and buy nice things for themselves. AOC is a con artist.”
GOP state comptroller candidate Joseph Hernandez, whose family fled Communist Cuba, told the paper, “She’s a champagne communist.”
“I grew up in an actual communist country, where the people in charge lived like kings while everyone else waited in line for bread,” Hernandez said. “Donor or taxpayer money, they spend it like it’s their own.”
