Marine Le Pen was just banned from running for president of France for five years. That’s more like forever. Le Pen is deemed a criminal and sentenced to wear an electronic tag for a couple years. A French court claims she embezzled. But why would we believe a French court any more than we believe a Manhattan or D.C. district court? Trump’s been through those wringers.

Macron and his mates did to Le Pen what Romanian elites did to Calin Georgescu, the populist candidate for president there. Reportedly, he was the frontrunner. If you smell a rat, you’re right.

French judges are partisan, but not French partisans. They’re shills for the European Union. The EU is a trans-European bureaucracy led by French and German elites to dominate the continent. American “progressives” envy the EU. The British voted out the EU, but their ruling class wants back in the club.

Europe is reverting. Tyranny -- softer versions for now -- is making a comeback. That coincides with the moral rot infecting Europe’s elites. (U.S. elites, are infected, too, but that’s for another day.) They loathe western civilization. They’re contemptuous of those who spurn what amounts to nihilism. They’re corrupt and incompetent, driving their nations off cliffs with globalist nostrums and governance.

France, Germany, and Britain, once the pillars of Western Europe, are squandering their inheritances. Their leaders are flooding Europe with Muslim diaspora, leading to increasing social strife and crime of all types.

Britain was once a bastion of rule of law, rights, and democracy. What marks Britain today is decay and descent. Self-loathing elites -- wet Conservatives are in that mix -- are “transforming” Britain with hordes of Muslim migrants. Cultural suicide is underway.

Sweden, where violent crimes and rape were practically unheard of, is plagued by rape.

It’s bad in Sweden, but no better in Britain. The British elite, as policy, seem to accept the crime cesspool they’ve created as a price of diversity.

Brits are fearful to walk London streets. London was once a safe city. Say anything about London’s crime spike or Muslim gangs raping English girls, and the police are knocking at your door. In a Stalinist twist, British cops are after anyone posting memes or social media........
