France in Disarray as Arson Attacks on High-Speed Rail Routes Bring Nation to Standstill
France’s high-speed rail network was on its knees on Friday morning after being hit by a series of fires in what Prime Minister Gabriel Attal described as “acts of sabotage” on the day of the Paris Olympic Games opening ceremony.
Approximately 1 million commuters were affected by indefinite delays on what is a key date in the diary for many French city dwellers to mark the beginning of their month-long summer break as many professionals embark on the grand depart and head for the mountains and the countryside.
Rail operator SNCF confirmed many routes had been hit by a “massive attack” aimed at “paralyzing” its network with traffic on the Atlantic, North, and East lines all “very disrupted.”
It confirmed that teams were on-site carrying out diagnostics and commencing repairs to the track but that it would not be a quick fix and commuters could expect significant disruptions to last “at least through the weekend.”
Several videos posted on social media show railway stations packed with commuters with nowhere to go, sparking chaos throughout the country.

“The consequences on the rail network are massive and serious,” wrote Prime Minister Attal on X. “I express my sincere gratitude to our firefighters who intervened on the affected sites and to the SNCF agents who will carry out the necessary work to restore the network.
“Our intelligence services and law enforcement are mobilized to find and punish the perpetrators of these criminal acts,” he added.
SNCF confirmed that routes had been hit in at least five locations across multiple lines and its diagnostics teams had found “incendiary devices” along several routes of the rail network including in Eure-et-Loir, Meurthe-et-Moselle, Meuse, Pas-de-Calais, and Yonne.
“The modus operandi, arson on installations, resembles that used by the ultra-left in the past,” one security source told Le Parisien newspaper.
No details about those suspected of being behind the attack have yet been disclosed.
Whistleblower: Secret Service Agent Stationed on the Rooftop Where Trump Assassin Opened Fire Abandoned Post Due to Heat
A whistleblower has disclosed that a Secret Service agent posted to the rooftop where former President Donald Trump’s would-be assassin left their post due to the heat.
U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) revealed this in a July 22 letter to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. According to the senator’s letter, the whistleblower’s claim ran contrary to the assertion by now-former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle regarding the roof of the American Glass Research building. Cheatle argued that the building’s roof was sloped at its highest point and they considered it a safety factor for the agent.
“Contrary to Cheatle’s public statement about the ‘safety’ of the sloped roof, one whistleblower with direct knowledge of Secret Service planning for the event alleges that there was supposed to be a law enforcement presence on the roof that day,” wrote Hawley. Unfortunately, this lack of security allowed 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks to position himself and shoot Trump.
The informant further alleged that concerns over the hot weather prompted law enforcement to station security personnel inside the building instead of the roof. This corroborated Cheatle’s earlier claim that a decision was made to secure the building from the inside.
On July 13, Crook attempted to assassinate Trump during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, shooting him in the right ear, killing one audience member and injuring two others.
Cheatle resigns, but she’s not yet off the hook
Following the horrendous incident, Cheatle received major backlash over the lack of apparently security during the July 13 campaign rally. On July 23, 10 days after the failed assassination attempt on Trump, she resigned from her post.
“The assassination attempt on Trump is the most significant operational failure at the Secret Service in decades,” Cheatle admitted during a July 22 hearing of the House Oversight Committee. However, U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), a member of the committee, blasted Cheatle for being “full of s**t” during the same hearing.
After Cheatle resigned, Mace announced that she would withdraw a motion to impeach the former Secret Service director. “Now that Cheatle resigned after getting her rear handed to her yesterday and our articles to impeach her, we’re withdrawing our motion to impeach,” said the congresswoman.
“Accountability is non-negotiable. This is what we call a mic drop.”
U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) also promised that Cheatle’s resignation won’t be the end of this failure, vowing that she won’t “get to slither away and enjoy retirement.”
“Cheatle and Mayorkas will face accountability for actions, including possible criminal investigations. I won’t let this go unanswered,” the congresswoman for the Peach State continued.
On the same day as Cheatle’s resignation, U.S. Rep. Josh Brecheen (R-OK) introduced a bill called the Secret Service Readiness Act (SSRA). The SSRA seeks to create “a uniform fitness standard for Secret Service special agents and uniformed division officers.”
“We believe that there ought to be one set of standards for Secret Service agents. There shouldn’t be multiple different ways you can qualify based upon your sex or your political beliefs,” Brecheen said. “If people who are being protected by [the] Secret Service – if they want the opportunity to let those who can’t meet full historic standards on their details, let them handle it. Don’t force it upon everybody else and potentially make them more vulnerable to an assassination attempt.

Trump Campaign Files FEC Complaint Over Illegal Transfer of $91.5M Biden Campaign Fund to Harris Campaign
The Trump campaign has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) against President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for violating campaign finance laws.
In a detailed letter to the FEC, David Warrington, the general counsel of the Trump campaign, claimed that Harris attempted to illegally take over the $91.5 million political donations made to the Biden campaign. Trump and his campaign team accused Harris of orchestrating “the single largest excessive contribution and biggest violation in the history of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended.”
(Related: RFK Jr. accuses DNC of once again RIGGING the nomination process – this time for Kamala Harris.)
“Kamala Harris is in the process of committing the largest campaign finance violation in American history and she is using the Commission’s own forms to do it,” the filing stated. “The Commission must not and cannot sit idly by while one candidate takes nearly one hundred million dollars from the authorized committee of another, in violation of the Act and the will of the donors who gave the money in the first place.”
Moreover, Warrington argued that federal campaign finance law does not permit Harris to simply take over Biden’s candidacy and assume control of his campaign finances by amending existing FEC forms. He further contends that Harris, who has not filed a statement of candidacy designating Biden for President as one of her authorized committees, is ineligible to inherit the funds because she is a “separate individual candidate competing for the Democratic Party’s nomination.”
“[If] Kamala Harris were a candidate for something in 2024, federal law requires her to have filed a Statement of Candidacy and for her name to have appeared in the name of her authorized committee. But Kamala Harris’s name does not appear in the name of her purported authorized committee, ‘Biden for President,’ and, until Sunday, no Statement of Candidacy existed for her.
Rather than filing her own Statement of Candidacy, Harris merely altered Joe Biden’s to replace his name with hers. There is no mechanism under the Act for one individual to end another’s federal candidacy by simply amending the other’s Form 2. Moreover, in that purportedly amended Form 2, Harris designated “Biden for President” as her principal campaign committee and then renamed it. “Altering a document submitted to a federal agency is a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1519.3,” the complaint stated.
Warrington described the move to redirect the $91.5 million remaining in Biden’s campaign account as both “fraudulent” and a “mockery of our campaign finance laws.”
Harris campaign calls the allegations “baseless”
In response to the complaint, Harris campaign spokesperson Charles Lutvak has firmly dismissed the allegations as “baseless.”
“Team Harris will continue to build on our more than 250 coordinated offices and more than 1,300 coordinated staffers across the battleground states – just like we built on the $240 million cash on hand that we had at launch this week, raising $100 million in our first 36 hours and signing up 58,000 volunteers,” Lutvak said in a statement.Lutvak also suggested that Republicans are envious of the Democrats’ momentum.
“Republicans may be jealous that Democrats are energized to defeat Donald Trump and his MAGA allies, but baseless legal claims – like the ones they’ve made for years to try to suppress votes and steal elections – will only distract them while we sign up volunteers, talk to voters and win this election,” he added.
A Harris campaign official also clarified that Biden fundraising committees have always been authorized for both the president and vice president.

Switzerland’s New Portable Suicide ‘Pod’ Set to Claim its First Life ‘Soon’
(LifeSiteNews) — In what feels like a dystopian movie, Switzerland’s new portable death “pod” to allow people to kill themselves is on track to claim its first victim this year.
In a July 16 press conference, Florian Willet, chief executive of pro-euthanasia organization The Last Resort, announced that Switzerland will “soon” use its portable suicide pod to end a life for the first time.
“Since we have people indeed queueing up, asking to use the Sarco, it’s very likely that it will take place pretty soon,” Willet said, eerily describing it as a “beautiful way” to die.
The pod is called Sarco, short for sarcophagus, the name of the coffins in which ancient Egyptian pharaohs were buried. The futuristic-looking 3D-printed capsule was first unveiled in 2019 for assisted suicide in Switzerland but was met with controversy.
It’s founder, Philip Nitschke, who has been nicknamed “Dr. Death” for his attempt to “glamorize” suicides, explained how the pod works in a recent interview with the South China Morning Post.
Once a person is inside the pod, they are asked who they are, where they are and if they know what happens when they press the button.
The death in the pod can also be activated by a button, gesture, voice control, or blink of the eye for those who cannot vocally or physically communicate due to severe illness or mobility issues.
After they answer, a voice says, “If you want to die press this button.” Once the button is pressed, the pod is flooded with nitrogen causing the oxygen to plummet from 21 per cent to 0.05 per cent in the air in less than 30 seconds.
“They will then stay in that state of unconsciousness for … around about five minutes before death will take place,” Nitschke explained.
However, he warned that, “Once you press that button, there’s no way of going back.”
The death inside the pod is filmed, and the footage is handed to a coroner.
The push to debut the pod this year comes after the pod was banned earlier this month after prosecutors questioned the legality and ethics of the pod, pointing out that it is unclear who is responsible for the death and who operates the pod.
Switzerland has allowed assisted suicide since 1942, with its only requirements being that the person freely chooses death, is of sound mind, and that their decision is not motivated by selfish reasons.
The county’s broad euthanasia policy has made it a tourist attraction from those around the world who wish to end their lives.
In addition to the legal question of who is responsible for the death, pro-life organizations have condemned the pods for trivializing death and undermining the dignity of life.
“Philip Nitschke’s device has been condemned by a broad range of commentators,” James Mildred, director of engagement for pro-life organization Christian Action Research and Education (CARE), said.
“Many people feel that it trivialises, and even glamourises, suicide,” he explained.
“We believe that suicide is a tragedy that good societies seek to prevent in every circumstance,” Mildred continued. “There are ethical ways to help human beings that don’t involve the destruction of life.”
