Kimberly BirdGuestIndy PetersonGuestMy friends, if you have not seen the news recently, well, within the past 24 hours, you probably have not learned that France, Paris in particular, is burning.
But initially, the maggots in Marxist state media told us it was a student uprising.
It's going to spread and it has been spreading across continental Europe for quite some time.

These areas are predominantly migrant areas.
These are new French people.
A lot of French people don't even live in these areas anymore.
So it's a very different situation than what we're hearing in a lot of the media.
The BBC are calling it high school protests.
It's something very different.
