Le Pen Joins Forces With Orbán in ‘Patriots for Europe’ EP Group
Marine Le Pen’s National Rally (RN), the largest national conservative party in the European Parliament (EP), is set to formally join Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán’s new parliamentary group, the Patriots for Europe, during its constitutive meeting on Monday, July 8th. With Matteo Salvini’s Lega following it in, the ‘rebranding’ of the Identity and Democracy (ID) group will be complete, and the Patriots will be the third largest parliamentary group in Brussels.
The switch from the ID to the Patriots by the French and most of the other delegations had been heavily rumored for the past week, but the official move was postponed due to the second round of the French elections on Sunday, July 7th. RN president Jordan Bardella finally announced joining the Patriots that evening.
“At long last, starting tomorrow our MEPs will fully play their role in a large group which will influence the power balance in Europe, to refuse being flooded by migrants, punitive environmentalism, and the confiscation of our sovereignty,” Bardella said.
A week earlier, the Patriots were founded by three parties: Hungary’s ruling Fidesz, the Czech ANO, and the Austrian FPÖ. They were soon joined by others during the week, with Geert Wilders’ Dutch PVV, Portugal’s Chega, the Danish People’s Party, and the Flemish Vlaams Belang all switching from ID. Meanwhile, Spain’s VOX made a surprise exit from Giorgia Meloni’s European Conservative and Reformist (ECR) group to join them as well.
Bardella’s announcement leaves only two parties in the ID which is now unviable on its own and will be formally dissolved on Friday after five years. Matteo Salvini’s Lega with its six seats will follow RN into the Patriots. After the rebranded group admitted a much larger Czech delegation in the form of Andrej Babiš’ ANO, the Czech SPD’s lone MEP will no longer have a place and is forced instead to join Alternative für Deutschland (AfD)’s own group, ‘The Sovereignists.’
This will make the Patriots the third-largest group in Brussels with 79 seats. The prestigious spot was long held by Macron’s liberal Renew, the third leg of the ruling ‘Ursula coalition’ which is now being pushed down to fifth place. ECR, as the other national conservative group, was already celebrating that it managed to dethrone the liberals when VOX defected, shrinking Meloni’s group to 78 seats.
The Patriots for Europe is set to formalize during its constitutive meeting in Brussels on Monday. Despite it being founded by Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán—whose Fidesz party will be the second largest delegation with 11 seats—the Patriots’ purpose was to be a rebranded ID group and will be led by the French with their 30 MEPs, insider sources said.
The group’s internal administration largely stays the same. It’s likely that the Hungarian, Czech, and Spanish delegations—the only new additions to the former ID—will be given a vice presidency each.

Luxury Car Exec Threw Newborn Baby from Window to Her Death, Feared Motherhood Would Ruin Career
(LifeSiteNews) — An executive for a luxury car manufacturer who threw her newborn daughter out an apartment window because she feared motherhood would ruin her career has been sentenced to just seven-and-a-half years in prison.
Although tried for murder, Katarina Jovanovic, 28, from Lauffen am Neckar, Germany, was found guilty of the lesser charge of manslaughter at Heilbronn District Court on July 3, according to a report by the Daily Mail.
Jovanovic, age 28, who had served as an attorney for world-famous car manufacturer Porsche and who had reportedly kept her pregnancy a secret, gave birth in her apartment on September 12, 2023, and then “dropped” the infant from a window about 12 feet onto the pavement below.
A horrified passerby alerted the police after discovering the baby – whose skull had been shattered from the fall – on the tarmac beneath Jovanovic’s window.
“The accused was not prepared to put her life plans, especially her professional advancement, on hold for a child,” prosecutor Mareike Hafendoerfer told the court. “That was her decision when the baby was born, and as a result, the criteria for a murder conviction are fulfilled.”

Jovanovic’s defense attorneys countered that she was at most guilty of manslaughter because she had “accidentally dropped” the baby out the window minutes after having given birth to her child.
“When she suddenly held the bloody baby in her hands, she was in an exceptional psychological situation,” her attorney, Malte Hoech, explained. “It was an accident, she dropped the baby.”
“How the child ended up over the windowsill remains to be determined,” added Hoech.
This gut-wrenching infant murder at the hands of her mother is far from being an isolated incident.
In 2020, a woman in Queens, New York, was arrested for attempted murder after she threw her newborn son out of her bathroom window, just moments after he was born.
The baby boy was discovered by a neighbor who had heard whimpering and went to investigate. She found the baby boy naked with his umbilical cord still attached, lying on the ground next to the garbage area for the building.
In 2017, a California woman tried to flush her newborn child down a toilet.
employees at a McDonald’s restaurant in California grew concerned after a female coworker didn’t return following repeated trips to the restroom.
Seeing a bloody mess on the floor surrounding the stall occupied by the woman, the co-worker peered over the stall divider and saw a newborn baby face down in the toilet bowl.
The woman who had just given birth had her hand on the baby’s back, according to the district attorney’s office. “The employee then heard the toilet flush.”
In both of those cases, the infants miraculously survived their ordeals.
In 2015, a newborn girl was buried alive in the Compton riverbed; she survived being thrown away. In October 2013, a dead baby was discovered in the bag of a 17-year-old teen suspected of shoplifting in Manhattan; the same month, a newborn was found abandoned on the concrete in the backyard of a house in Queen’s. In August 2013, a mother gave birth in a bar bathroom in Pennsylvania, left her baby in the toilet water, and went back to the bar to watch a fight on TV.
In June 2013, newborns were discovered in trash cans in California and Arkansas; that same month, a mother gave birth in her toilet, threw the baby in her trash bag, and tossed the bag in a dumpster. In May 2013, a teenager threw away her newborn in her garbage can. In May 2013, a Pennsylvania teen tried to flush her baby down the toilet at school. In December 2012, a newborn child was found on the conveyor belt of a garbage sorting facility in California.
Horrifying examples like this go on and on. Just Google “baby thrown away.”
In a culture of death, children become disposable.

Tax Cuts for Foreigners Only as Germany’s Liberal Elite Once Again Shows its Disdain for The Locals
How much can you actually despise the citizens of your own country? To answer this question is to ask it in the case of the budget agreement of the traffic-light coalition.
In the future, foreigners who come to Germany will receive a generous tax rebate — 30 percent less in the first year after entry, 20 percent in the second year, and 10 percent in the third year. This is only for “skilled workers,” of course, whoever that is supposed to be.
It’s a slap in the face of all those who — as the saying goes — have lived here longer. They don’t get a tax rebate, even though they’ve been keeping the place running for decades. They continue to be fleeced like a Christmas goose. The creation of the rebate for foreigners shows that the government is well aware of how grossly unfair things have become in the country.
This discrimination against the country’s own citizens, expressed in budgetary policy and presented by a federal finance minister who proudly sells it as a success, is truly the pinnacle of a press conference full of impertinence by the three “traffic light” leaders Olaf Scholz, Robert Habeck, and Christian Lindner. After the three years of “tax rebate,” foreigners will also be entitled to a German passport. This can then be picked up in passing, so to speak. And then you can also enjoy all kinds of social benefits when the work ethic that has been brought into the country starts to wane again.
As the federal government’s anti-discrimination commissioner put it so nicely, there are still enough “potatoes” who, in case of doubt, will have their pensions taxed out from under them and will want to work even longer. Is that still possible? And anyone who rebels against this will have to deal with an army of taxpayer-funded no-goods from the political fringes of the aging parties who run denunciation portals. If necessary, Habeck, Baerbock, and co. will even call in the state security and break down doors because citizens are making fun of fat Green politicians or their clothes. What have we actually come to? Asking this question is the first step to answering it.
Of course, the shift to the right in the country has to serve as a justification for this budget of contempt. Scholz reprimanded this shift, not only here but also abroad, at the beginning of the press conference. Scholz, whose party was completely beaten in the EU elections with a highly embarrassing 13.9 percent.
So now, the political wrangling continues until the next general election. None of the traffic light parties have enough of a backbone to put an end to this miserable spectacle. Have fun at the upcoming state elections in the east.
Of course, to be fair, the country’s downsizing really began under Angela Merkel. As things stand at present, her party will probably provide the next chancellor, but not alone and not in a two-party coalition with the FDP. It will then inevitably have to get back into bed with the Greens and SPD in order to get the lucrative posts. Friedrich Merz and co. will then have recourse to such budget cronyism themselves. The Union governments in the federal states are already doing this diligently. It is well known that the CDU and CSU do not want to work with the AfD.
So, the prospects are bleak. At least for those who still work in this country, pay taxes, and do not benefit from discounts for foreigners. At some point, however, there won’t be too many of them.

Orbán’s ‘Patriots for Europe’ Sees Rapid Growth, Meets EU Parliament Criteria to Form a Group
Patriots for Europe, the newly minted European Parliament group, created just over a week ago by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, along with the president of the Austrian Freedom Party (FPÖ), Herbert Kickl, and the Czech ANO’s Andrej Babiš, has seen explosive growth in a short period of time. Another five parties have now joined since its initial launch, meaning it meets the criteria for starting its own faction in the EU parliament.
After the founding of the group, the Portuguese Chega party was the first to indicate that it would join the group, and then the Spanish party Vox declared it would join the Patriots for Europe party family, which it later did.

Last week, Geert Wilders, the leader of the Party for Freedom (PVV), which won the Dutch elections in November, announced that his party would join the group. On Saturday, the Danish People’s Party (DK) and the Belgian right-wing Flemish Interest (VB) party led by Tom Van Grieken decided to also join.
Thus, the Patriots for Europe party alliance has already fulfilled the conditions to become a political group: To form a political group, at least 23 MEPs representing at least a quarter of the member states are needed. At present, eight member states and 42 MEPs belong to the alliance.

The question is whether the French National Rally will join Viktor Orbán’s alliance; negotiations for this have already begun. Also, the leader of the Italian League party, Matteo Salvini, has spoken about the possibility of joining, with Salvini saying that “they are working on it.”

Mainstream Media Claims Biden is Still ‘Sharp’ at 81, Just ‘Forgetful’
The New York City-based media agency Associated Press (AP) is in the middle of controversy following an article it published titled “Biden at 81: Often sharp and focused but sometimes confused and forgetful.”
Social media users were quick to air their sentiments on X, the platform previously known as Twitter, targeting the news outlet for its obvious cover-up of President Joe Biden’s gaffes and blunders, signaling the president’s slowly deteriorating cognitive state due to old age and alleged medications and drug use.
The article was posted on the evening of Wednesday, July 3, and was updated the next day. It tackled the most recent debate face-off between Biden and presumptive GOP nominee and former President Donald Trump, where the former’s performance was widely panned as confused and mumbling.
“The June 27 face-off alarmed Democrats and his financial backers, in part, because Biden seemed so much worse than during the almost routine moments when he’s less sharp. And that has raised questions about whether he’s up for a campaign that’s only going to get nastier and whether he can effectively govern for another four years if he wins,” AP reported.
“We understand the concerns. We get it,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said this week. As some Democratic leaders called on him to drop out of the presidential race, Jean-Pierre insisted Biden had no intention of stepping away from the campaign. “The president is clear-eyed and he is staying in the race.” She also claimed that “jet lag” was the cause of his poor debate performance.
“He is often sharp and focused,” the AP article indicated of Biden. “But he also has moments, particularly later in the evening, when his thoughts seem jumbled and he trails off mid-sentence or seems confused. Sometimes he doesn’t grasp the finer points of policy details. He occasionally forgets people’s names, stares blankly and moves slowly around the room.”
On X, the Libs of TikTok account commented: “Nobody is falling for this BS anymore.”
Another user posted: “When news orgs try and push this ‘sharp’ nonsense, it no longer feels like just normal partisan bias, but insulting arrogance.”
“AP in 2024: accurate and fair but sometimes partisan and shoddy,” another commenter posted.
Public concern about Biden’s fitness for another four years of presidency never subsided. According to an August 2023 poll from the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, 77 percent of adults in the United States believe that Biden was too old to be effective for four more years. Not only did 89 percent of Republicans say that, but so did 69 percent of Democrats.
White House press corps denies covering up Biden’s mental state
After Biden’s lackluster performance during the CNN debate, concerns were raised about whether the White House press corps dropped the ball on fully covering the POTUS’ limitations.
The debate laid bare many of the concerns on the president’s mental state such as his having good days and bad days but sometimes seeming to slip up. A New York Times report raised similar concerns by those who have recently been in the room with Biden. The news outlet reported Biden has more frequent “lapses,” although at other times he appears sharp.
Nearly every media outlet has reported on growing concerns about Biden’s age well before the debate. The White House has always complained that the coverage is disproportionate and that the media is spending more time covering Biden’s age than his accomplishments as president.
But there are also claims that the media has not covered Biden’s mental fitness more aggressively because it wants to prop up the campaign in some way, an accusation the White House reporters denied.
Several White House reporters told CNN that the coverage of Biden’s age and his mental stamina should have pushed harder. They cited several difficulties in doing so before the debate, from the obvious political motivations of sources who either wanted to protect Biden’s image or project a certain image, to the blowback from pursuing such reports, especially from the White House and Democrats.
The administration has also insisted that concerns over Biden’s age was just a “right-wing talking point.”
“The right-wing media was calling him senile from day one and that wasn’t true,” the reporter said. “Then whenever you report on the age you were in some ways solidifying, giving credence to some people that were actually of bad faith.”
All the White House reporters who were sources for this story spoke on the condition of staying anonymous so they could speak more freely about their relationship with the White House.
