Drug Gangs Bribe, Blackmail and Intimidate Mayors, Cops and Other Public Officials: French Prime Minister Lecornu

France in danger of becoming a narco-state?

Sebastien Lecornu é the seventh French Prime Minister under the failed two-term presidency of Emmanuel Macron.

Lecornu is tasked with taking the outgoing government into this last stretch until next year’s Presidential elections, a vote that rightwing Marine Le Pen is fully expected to win.

But the Prime Minister has to at least appear to be doing something urgent and energetic, because the Republic is falling apart at the seams.

We have been reporting here on TGP about the absolute catastrophe that the unchecked mass migration has wrought upon France, from the imported rape culture to the stabbing epidemic – it’s all fraying the fabric of French society.

But what is perhaps not as well covered is the scourge of organized crime.

Yesterday (20), Lecornu warned his cabinet (and the nation) that drug gangs are bribing, blackmailing and intimidating mayors, police and other public officials.

Not that this is any news, but the announcement is to the effect that the PM has – finally – decided to focus his attention on the ongoing disaster.

The Telegraph reported:

“Sébastien Lecornu has told ministers to tighten controls on sensitive data and pursue disciplinary action whenever there is evidence of wrongdoing in the civil service. About 150 integrity breaches are detected each year, up 40 per cent in five years.

Mr. Lecornu warned: ‘Due to the growth of organized crime, government departments and state-run organizations are increasingly exposed to high risks of breaches of integrity, given the nature of their remit, their powers and their access to sensitive information or procedures’.”

7 years in, Lecornu fails to treat this criminality growth as an occurrence caused by the failings of the ruinous Macron government.

Socialist Leader Says Quiet Part Out Loud: Affordability Pitch Masks “Guerrilla Class War” To “Bleed Enemy Dry”

We have extensively profiled how communism is on the rise in America and how the Democratic Party has served as its primary vehicle into mainstream electoral politics. The Marxists in the Democratic Socialists of America have a platform that, in the long run, has very little to do with affordability but everything to do with what some of their leaders have described, in their own words, as “destroying the nation from within.”

DSA members are hell-bent on breaking down capitalism and the current form of the United States as we know it. One of their tactics is to ignite a Marxist class war, or class struggle, which is a conflict between economic classes over wealth, political power and control of production.

The idea that DSA is seeking to start a Marxist class war is not based on speculation but is, yet again, part of the plan to destroy capitalism, according to DSA National Political Committee member Cliff Connolly.

Accused Drug Trafficker Resumes Work As Sinaloa Governor Despite Being Wanted by USDOJ

An accused drug trafficker has resumed his post as governor of Sinaloa in Mexico, despite being a wanted fugitive of the U.S. Department of Justice. The move comes as tensions continue to rise between the U.S. Government and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, who has been actively defending the politician.

On Friday morning, Ruben Rocha Moya announced that he was returning to work after several weeks on leave following the U.S. Department of Justice’s announcement that he had been criminally indicted for his role in the Sinaloa Cartel. In a prepared statement shared on social media, Rocha Moya claimed that he had done what was needed of him and cooperated with Mexican authorities to prove his innocence.

As Breitbart Texas reported, the U.S. Department of Justice announced in April the indictment against Rocha Moya and nine of his closest political allies in the state. They are accused of drug conspiracy and weapons charges. At the time, rather than help with arrest and extradition, Sheinbaum publicly defended Rocha Moya, who is from the same political party — MORENA.

According to Sheinbaum, there is no evidence of wrongdoing by Rocha Moya, and the public indictment was politically motivated by the U.S. far right as a way to damage the MORENA party. Sheinbaum’s move sparked tension with the U.S. government, which has been pushing Mexico to fight drug cartels.

In an apparent move to avoid questions over Rocha Moya’s return to power, Sheinbaum announced on Friday that she was not going to her daily news conference because she was sick with flu-like symptoms.

FL DSA Candidate Angie Nixon Compares ICE Agents to ‘Modern-Day Slave Catchers,’ Calls Enforcement ‘State-Sanctioned Violence’

Florida Democrat Senate candidate Angie Nixon has repeatedly attacked Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), calling its officers “THUGS” and “kidnappers,” comparing immigration detention facilities to a “modern day concentration camp,” and arguing that the agency should be abolished as she campaigns against incumbent Sen. Ashley Moody (R-FL).

Nixon, a Florida state representative and member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), has made abolishing ICE a central part of her immigration platform. In one post, she referred to ICE officers as “THUGS.” In another, she called abolishing ICE a “moral choice” and said the United States must stop funding an agency that “terrorizes our neighborhoods, acts like a rogue paramilitary force, and operates completely in the dark.”

Nixon described ICE enforcement as “state-sanctioned violence” and has characterized the agency as a “weaponized paramilitary force that is designed to terrorize.”

In a clip, Nixon referred to ICE officers as “kidnappers” while advocating that agents be unmasked. She has also compared immigration detention facilities to a “modern day concentration camp” — a characterization she later doubled down on — and compared ICE agents to modern-day slave catchers.

Nixon has even insinuated that ICE agents might be shot: “We are a stand your ground state…I am concerned that some ICE officials might be shot.” 

She has also argued that ICE officers would racially profile and fatally shoot black Americans and said she wants “bad actors” investigated, arrested, and jailed.

“We’re black. They gonna profile us, too. They can’t tell the difference between a black American that is a descendant of slaves here in this country or someone from Jamaica or Nigeria. They are going to racially profile us and they are going to escalate things and they are going to shoot and kill us,” Nixon said.

“And they are going to get away with it unless we send people like me to Washington, DC, who are going to scrutinize and launch investigations to go after bad actors. To arrest them and to put them in jail and to call for an end and an abolishment of ICE,” she continued.

“We don’t need ICE. ICE was designed — ICE came about after the towers went down, after September 11th, and it came about to evoke fear and to target and to profile the Muslim community. It has now morphed into this agency that goes after immigrants, that demonizes immigrants,” Nixon added.

Nixon has also said Republicans are “literally trying to kill us” while discussing ICE enforcement.

21-Year-Old Was Behind Fake Polling Firm Median Strategies

Twenty-one-year-old Rahil Prakash is the person who published a number of fake polls that entered the media ecosystem.

He says that he was inspired to create his phony polls after Michigan primary polls totally blew the Democrat race between Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed, aka Abdul El-Sayed, and Haley Stevens. El-Sayed barely squeaked out a win when poll after poll showed him up by double digits.

“I wanted to see if fake polls could really penetrate the ecosystem that easily,” he told the far-left Guardian. “And as it turned out, it could.”

Prakash created a website called Median Strategies and released bogus polls for the Democrat primary in the Wisconsin governor’s race, the Los Angeles mayoral race, and two statewide Nevada races.

“Karen Bass, the mayor of Los Angeles, touted Median polling data after it appeared to put her ahead of her election challenger by more than 10 percentage points,” the Guardian adds. “The poll was also cited by the California Post. A widely followed polling aggregator on X also shared the group’s Nevada poll[.]”

“[S]everal credible polling organizations did not aggregate Median polling because they could not verify its methodology.”

“Did I expect it to perhaps expedite in the way it did? Most definitely not. I did not expect the California political press to pick it up on their own,” said Prakash. “I’ll apologize straight out to the campaigns of Karen Bass, Nithya Raman and Francesca Hong for this,” the Guardian reported.

The fake Median poll put Francesca Hong up by 20 points. She lost by 0.5 points.

What’s so funny about this is that Median’s bogus poll was not the worst. Marquette, a so-called “legitimate” pollster, had Hong ahead by 22. PPP had her up by 18.

At least Median admits its polling is bogus. Fox News, Quinnipiac, and a number of others are equally bogus, as far as I can tell, but continue to be treated seriously. The whole field of polling is a joke.

Median snuck into the ecosystem because nobody really cares if polls are accurate; we all know they are not, so who cares? Had I seen the Median polls, I would have thought nothing of firing them off on social media. Polling no longer matters. It’s just content now, and anyone who takes polling seriously is a dumbass.

Polling is all about shaping public opinion, not reflecting it; it’s all about manipulating public opinion, not measuring it.

This guy did us a favor. He further damaged the credibility of polling and of the media. That’s a wonderful thing as far as I’m concerned.

Fake polls. Media polls. Potato-potahhhtow.

California City Council Candidate ARRESTED on Five Felony Counts — Prosecutors Say She Listed a Cocktail Lounge as Her Home

Another election-fraud scandal has erupted in deep-blue California.

Desiree Lynch, a Democrat-aligned candidate for the Stockton City Council, was arrested Wednesday following a public-corruption investigation and charged with five felonies involving alleged perjury, false voter registration, and fraudulent candidate paperwork.

Although Stockton’s municipal elections are officially nonpartisan, Lynch’s campaign has leaned unmistakably to the left.

Her campaign website warns that “fairness, decency, freedom, and justice” are supposedly “under attack at the federal level” — an apparent swipe at President Donald Trump and his administration. Stockton Vice Mayor Jason Lee also publicly endorsed her campaign.

According to the San Joaquin County District Attorney’s Office, Lynch allegedly registered to vote and filed to run for the District 5 council seat using addresses where she did not live.

And one of the alleged “home” addresses was a cocktail lounge.

Prosecutors say Lynch used two Stockton addresses to manufacture residency inside District 5:

  • Harry’s Cocktail Lounge at 407 E. Charter Way, also known as East Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard; and
  • Doyle Garden Apartments at 625 E. Oak Street.

Investigators determined that Lynch was actually living in Lodi and North Stockton, including an area located in Stockton City Council District 1, not District 5, according to the DA’s office.

The criminal complaint contains three perjury counts under California Penal Code Section 118(a), one count of causing, procuring, or allowing false voter registration under Elections Code Section 18100(a), and one count of filing a false nomination or declaration of candidacy under Elections Code Section 18203.

The alleged offenses span from November 10, 2025, through August 17, 2026.

The charges are:

  • Count 1: Perjury on or about November 10, 2025;
  • Count 2: Perjury on or about February 5, 2026;
  • Count 3: Perjury on or about March 2, 2026;
  • Count 4: Causing, procuring, or allowing false voter registration from approximately November 10, 2025, through August 17, 2026; and
  • Count 5: Filing a false nomination or declaration of candidacy during that same period.

The arrest followed a six-week investigation by the District Attorney’s Bureau of Investigations. The probe began after the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office referred the matter following the June primary election.

Lynch finished second in that primary, receiving 1,054 votes, or 30.59 percent, and advanced to the November runoff against incumbent Councilman Brando Villapudua, who received 1,173 votes, or 34.04 percent.

DHS Investigates Anti-Israel Nonprofit Over Suspect Fund Transfers

The Department of Homeland Security is reportedly digging into a nonprofit tied to Zohran Mamdani after questions surfaced about donor money and its possible path to a sanctioned Palestinian group. The case centers on a U.K.-based organization with a massive funding pool and a loud anti-Israel mission, which has put its finances and political network under a bright federal spotlight.

The group at the center of the report is known as PFF, a foundation described as having roughly a $100 million war chest. According to the reporting, federal authorities are looking at whether donor funds may have been steered toward Al-Haq, a Palestinian organization sanctioned by the United States.

That alone is enough to raise eyebrows, but the story gets messier fast. Sources quoted in the report described the outfit as a “new fund” created by Arabs across the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia to push back against Israel, giving the group a clear ideological edge.

Another name keeps popping up in the background: Bassema Yousef. She is described as the key figure in the fundraising effort, a New York-born Democrat donor who now lives in London and has long been connected to Mamdani’s orbit.

Her public posts reportedly leave little room for doubt about where she stands. The report says her social media has included repeated anti-Israel attacks, including claims that Israel is committing “war crimes with U.S. tax dollars,” language that shows just how heated this fight has become.

The financing side is what makes the whole thing even more intense. Sources told the Post that Yousef helped build PFF with backing from two wealthy donors, Austin-based investing executive Basil Qunibi and Palestinian-Australian motorsports figure Yasser Shahin.

Shahin’s role is not just rumor, at least according to the report. Corporate filings in the U.K. reportedly confirm his support for PFF, and the IRS has also acknowledged that the organization has a nonprofit arm based in Delaware.

PFF has also tried to present itself as something bigger and cleaner than the controversy around it. Its own description calls it a “strategic foundation” that partners with organizations able to deliver results that fit its objectives.

Democrats Launch 10-Year ‘Transgender Issues’ Plan to Win America Back

The architecture of a long-horizon message

Democrats have positioned transgender rights inside the larger civil-rights tradition — not as a boutique cause, but as a baseline obligation of equal protection. That stance is explicit in party communications: the Democratic National Committee has repeatedly described legislation targeting transgender people as “vicious” and purposeless, while pledging to “respect and validate” transgender Americans and to protect friends, family, and neighbors — the vocabulary of belonging, not factionalism. This is not a one-off statement; it functions as a north star for downstream decisions about what to fund, which stories to elevate, and how to answer bad-faith frames without amplifying them.

Strategy is only as credible as the policy beneath it. On that front, party-aligned platforms and state-level planks have specified concrete protections: coverage of gender-affirming care judged medically necessary, access to facilities consistent with gender identity, and full participation in civic life without compelled misnaming — the prosaic mechanics that convert values into practice. Even when national conventions have varied in how visibly they spotlighted transgender speakers, the policy substrate has remained consistent across cycles — a fact that matters when adversaries try to portray the position as performative rather than programmatic.

Meet Fierce “New Black Panther Party” Chairwoman Demanding Freedom for Convicted Murderer Karmelo Anthony: “Black Power — It’s About Godd*mn Time!”

New Black Panther Party national chairwoman Krystal Muhammad celebrated the removal of the judge who presided over Karmelo Anthony’s murder trial, and immediately demanded that the convicted killer be released from prison.

Standing outside the Collin County Courthouse following Wednesday’s recusal hearing, Muhammad erupted into chants of “Black Power” as Anthony’s supporters celebrated the procedural victory.

“Black Power. It’s about goddamn time. Our power to the people. That’s the first step. Now we need for Karmelo [Anthony] to be released.”

“All of the racist acts that took place under Judge Roach—from them not letting people come into the courthouse when it’s supposed to be a public hearing, from them not giving the jury instructions on self-defense—so Carmelo would have never got a case in the first place. He would have had—the jury would have had the option of manslaughter—from the racism.”

Muhammad was reacting to visiting Judge Sid Harle’s decision to remove District Judge John Roach Jr. from Anthony’s post-trial proceedings.

Roach presided over Anthony’s murder trial and later told a reporter that the jury “got it right.” Anthony’s attorneys argued that those comments created the appearance that Roach could not impartially consider their motion for a new trial.

The recusal does not erase Anthony’s conviction or 35-year prison sentence. It merely places the pending motion for a new trial before a different judge.

That did not stop Muhammad and other Anthony supporters from treating the ruling as the beginning of a campaign to spring a convicted killer from prison.

Derek Chauvin’s Attorney Makes ‘Bombshell’ Motion to Dismiss, Alleging ‘Fraudulent’ Conduct by Tim Walz and Keith Ellison

Attorneys for former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin filed a petition Tuesday seeking a dismissal of the state murder charges against him, arguing that it was unlawful for Gov. Tim Walz to assign Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison to prosecute the case

In April 2021, Chauvin, 50, was convicted of second-degree murder in the death of George Floyd in police custody in May 2020. Video showed that Chauvin had his knee on Floyd’s neck for over 9 minutes.

An autopsy revealed that there was both fentanyl and methamphetamine in the man’s system, which may have been contributing factors to his death. Floyd would not comply with police orders to stay in the squad car, prompting Chauvin to eventually get on top of him and put a knee on his neck to subdue him.

Chauvin is currently serving a state sentence of 22 years, in addition to a 21-year federal sentence for violating Floyd’s civil rights, The Hill reported.

The former police officer’s latest petition seeking to get his conviction overturned was filed with the Minnesota Court of Appeals. That court has denied two previous petitions by Chauvin.

Chauvin’s attorneys argued in their Tuesday filing that Walz’s assignment of the case to Ellison was “illegitimate” and therefore violated their client’s due process rights.
