A Paris theater known for its progressive agenda is facing potential bankruptcy after over 250 migrant youths occupied the venue in December, demanding housing, health, and education. The occupation, which began following an event promoting tolerance, has led to worsening sanitary conditions and forced the theater to cancel all scheduled events.
Key Details:
The Gaîté Lyrique theater was overtaken by migrant youths following a December 10th event focused on tolerance and migrant support. The group has since grown to approximately 300 occupants.
The theater's management issued statements condemning the lack of action from city and state officials, highlighting unsanitary conditions and concerns for their staff's safety.
The theater, owned by the Paris council, has canceled events until at least January 24th, citing financial strain from the ongoing occupation.
Diving Deeper:
The Gaîté Lyrique theater in Paris, a venue renowned for hosting radical and progressive programming, reportedly finds itself in dire financial straits after migrant youths occupied the premises last month. The takeover began on December 10th during an event organized to promote tolerance toward migrants, with activists reportedly directing the youths to the theater.
Précieux, a self-identified 16-year-old Congolese migrant, summed up the group's stance, stating, "We are here to claim our right to housing, health, and education," as reported by French outlet RFI. Since then, the number of migrants occupying the space has surged, further complicating the theater's operations.
The Gaîté Lyrique issued multiple statements lamenting the forced nature of the occupation while also sympathizing with the migrants' plight.
So who really is the US President and making decisions to lock up 800,000 acres from drilling and mining? As the Morning Shmoe put it, "This is the best Biden evah!" Given that reducing CO2 emissions is the supposed number one US priority to save the planet where are we going to get the necessary metals and minerals needed to build out the alternate energy infrastructure? Oh yeah, those morally virtuous chicoms will do god's work and get the materials and process them for us. Out of sight, out of mind is the clearly the better environmental policy.
With only five days left before Joe Biden leaves office, it’s safe to say that those days can’t pass quickly enough. On Tuesday, what should have been a routine event instead served as another stark reminder that Biden’s cognitive decline is getting worse.
Biden signed proclamations to establish two new national monuments in California: the Chuckwalla National Monument and the Sáttítla Highlands National Monument.
The move, partly aimed at honoring local tribes, will protect approximately 600,000 acres in Southern California and 200,000 acres in Northern California by barring drilling, mining, and other developments. This action aligns with Biden’s “America the Beautiful” initiative, which seeks to conserve 30% of public lands and waters by 2030, honor tribal heritage, blah, blah, blah, climate change, yada, yada, yada.
The Pit River Tribe has worked to get the federal government to designate the Sáttítla National Monument. A number of Native American tribes and environmental groups began pushing Biden to designate the Chuckwalla National Monument, named after the large desert lizard, at the start of 2023.
The area would protect public lands south of Joshua Tree National Park, spanning the Coachella Valley region in the west to near the Colorado River.
Advocates say the monument will protect a tribal cultural landscape, ensure access to nature for local residents and preserve military history sites. The California Legislature passed a resolution in August 2024 to urge Biden to establish the Chuckwalla National Monument and another National Park Service-managed national monument adjacent to Joshua Tree National Park, as well as the Kw’tsán National Monument, which would border Mexico and Arizona.
Tribal leaders have also called for the Chuckwalla monument to honor tribal sovereignty to include local tribes as co-stewards, following in the footsteps of a recent wave of monuments such as the Bears Ears National Monument in Utah, which is overseen in conjunction with five tribal nations.
Despite these grand gestures, the signing ceremony was marred by Biden’s own cognitive misfires. The signing had already been delayed from the previous week due to the Los Angeles wildfires, and when Biden finally did sit down to sign the proclamations, he seemed visibly confused.
At 82 years old, a clearly confused Biden appeared to forget the basic procedure for signing the national monument proclamation, even asking, “I gotta fill this in?” before questioning who would fill in the dates.
Biden hoped that his actions on Tuesday would be a testament to his legacy on climate change and environmentalism; instead, it became a chilling reminder that this man is not well.
Seriously, after witnessing the signing, one can’t help but wonder: does anyone believe that Biden is still in charge? With just five days remaining of his disastrous presidency, Inauguration Day can't come soon enough.

Go figure. Virtue signaling turns out to be pretty costly. Like Sanctuary status at Martha's Vineyard.

Leftwing Theater in Paris Offers a Free Show to "Refugees;" the Refugees Refuse to Leave, and the Theater Shuts Down After Five Weeks of Occupation

Good afternoon, everybody! I hope everyone is well on this very sunny but very cold Wednesday.
Let me start with an easy one because there's so much going on right now I'm a little overwhelmed and not sure where to start.
Over in the Islamic Colonies of Europe, the Counter-Reconquista is proceeding apace.
It's just so perfect.
So who really is the US President and making decisions to lock up 800,000 acres from drilling and mining? As the Morning Shmoe put it, "This is the best Biden evah!"
