France Stands at Crossroads, as Members of Military Demand Action: Epoch Times Commentary

Cut to France today, where recently, some 20 retired French generals and other officers and enlisted men (some of them still serving) penned a startling open letter, directly addressed to President Emmanuel Macron, his government, and the rest of the nation, warning of the possibility—no, the necessity—of a military coup if the country doesn’t get a grip on its restive Muslim “hordes” in the ghettos called “banlieues,” and on the manufactured leftist social unrest that calls itself “anti-racism.” …Some 73 percent of respondents actively fear the country is coming apart because of immigration, while a whopping 86 percent agreed that there are now parts of France where French law no longer rules. …Macon’s likely opponent in the April 2022 elections, Marine Le Pen, hailed the letter and called upon the signers to “join us in taking part in the coming battle, which is the battle of France.”

Biden’s Hidden Tax Increase: Epoch Times Commentary by Newt Gingrich

Every American is going to pay higher taxes due to the Biden administration’s policies. Remember that inflation is a hidden tax.

The Case for Speaking Out: Epoch Times Commentary

As radical activism and ideological extremity run rampant, it can be hard to believe that a silent majority of Americans actually dissent. Upwards of 80 percent (pdf) think political correctness has gone awry, and 64 percent would even go as far as to call cancel culture a threat to their freedom. …But perhaps the greatest case for speaking out is to fortify the integrity of the next generation. The youngest among us have been raised in a highly politicized world. From cartoons to classrooms, the dominant orthodoxy is constantly reinforced, and the expectation of conformity is made abundantly clear. Young people only know a graceless society characterized by a zero-tolerance cancel culture.

Farmers Sue Biden Administration Over ‘Racist’ COVID Relief Plan: Epoch Times

Adam Faust, a white resident of Chilton, Calumet County in Wisconsin, is one of five Midwestern farmers who filed a lawsuit on April 6 that accuses the federal government of violating their constitutional rights, Fox 11 reported.
