Mike Steger, 11 October 2026

Mike Steger argues that France’s crisis goes far beyond government budgets or school protests. He examines the struggle over national identity, economic policy, immigration, and the future of Western civilization, warning that escalating unrest could have consequences across Europe.

Mike discusses reports of violence around French schools, the response from President Emmanuel Macron, and the competing political positions of Marine Le Pen, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, and Bruno Retailleau. He presents his argument that radical political factions are exploiting social divisions and economic frustration ahead of France’s presidential election.

The discussion then turns to Le Pen’s proposed alternative budget. Mike examines her plans to reduce France’s contributions to the European Union, cut production taxes, scale back regulation, and support small and medium businesses. He argues that rebuilding French industry requires a national commitment to productive growth.

Drawing parallels with President Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Mike explains why he believes spending cuts alone cannot solve a debt crisis. Expanding manufacturing, energy production, infrastructure, and private enterprise, he argues, can strengthen the economy and make public debt more manageable.

A Grand Jury Is Reviewing Her Sworn Statements

Cassidy Hutchinson, in cahoots with Liz Cheney, filed a 15-page “errata” sheet prepared by her Cheney-referred attorney in 2022 to “correct” her previous closed-door (3x) testimony to the J6 committee about the president’s conduct on Jan 6. Her memory suddenly unearthed all sorts of things including the alleged incident inside the president’s vehicle that afternoon; the presence of weapons including firearms at the Capitol (nope); and even a note she never wrote. Her jogged memory resulted in a bombshell—and surprise—performance before the J6 committee. Now that the media is reporting a grand jury is reviewing her sworn statements…

Her jogged memory resulted in a bombshell—and surprise—performance before the J6 committee.

Now that the media is reporting a grand jury is reviewing her sworn statements…

On the left is Hutchinson’s original closed door testimony to the committee. On the right is her “corrected” testimony after she hired Cheney-referred attorney. Quite a change in memory for a 26-year-old! My guess is all 3 are witnesses in the case against her. https://t.co/lwG8rAuUpR

We Can See You

The same people who turned off the power to Kyiv, are the same people who blew up the Nordstream pipeline. That's the same people who carried out the Monaco bombing, and the same people who carried out the Balzi Rossi restaurant bombing in Moscow. We can see you @BohuslavskaKate and @ZelenskyyUa At this point, you look foolish.

… Kate Bohuslavska and Vladimir Zelenskyy. At this point, you look foolish.

Dear Vladimir @ZelenskyyUa , you should not telegraph your moves. We can see you. We have been watching everything for many years. Your next move will be for Ukraine intelligence, which we all know is EU-NATO intelligence, to launch a kinetic operation against your own energy infrastructure. You will then blame Russia, and your EU-NATO enablers will cite that example in opposition to President Trump. We can see you.

One of the Wisest Men I’ve Ever Met

Edward is one of the wisest men I've ever met, which is all the more impressive given his own age.

When DOGE hired him, he was a teenage genius whose maternal grandfather had been executed by KGB.

I'm merely a middle aged nobody.

It's an extraordinary honor to have him write the foreword to Unelected, and an equally amazing honor to have the words "Big Balls" on the cover of my very first book.

Edward “Big Balls” Coristine, the former DOGE engineer, is now helping build the Trump administration’s new digital front door to the federal government. Coristine told Fox News Digital that https://t.co/Hdq8KMPZkP is designed to give Americans one place to find government information and, eventually, complete services now spread across thousands of federal websites. He also detailed plans to make first-time passport applications fully digital, reflected on his time at DOGE and spoke about the origin of the nickname that put him in the national spotlight.

Inconsistencies

Agree. When the media ignores someone who’s running for the Senate but is completely MIA for 12 days they help create this environment. I also see that you haven’t covered the fact that James said he was treated in Dallas and then changed his story to Austin. Don’t you think covering these inconsistencies will help with the “crazy information environment” you say you loathe?

Robby Starbuck

You should explain why your employee reportedly told a reporter that he was discharged then. This one sentence statement leaves a lot unexplained. If he truly hasn’t ever been there and the call is real as it appears to be, I don’t like the guy, but he should sue your facility.

Judge Blocks Ads

Anti-Trump Biden judge tells government it can't speak. Too much of the judiciary is off the rails from its anti-Trump derangement syndrome.

This Is the Idiot He Picks

Happy Italian Heritage Month, New York. Here’s continuing to fight for Vito Marcantonio’s vision of a government that works for all working people. https://t.co/9mlQN7mAZR

Vickie Paladino, Councilwoman representing Queens

Of course he name drops an obscure Italian-American communist who was against America's participation in World War 2 and was investigated by the FBI for his ties to the international communist party.

Of all the great men and women of Italian descent who've contributed to New York City and the United States, this is the idiot he picks.

He is physically incapable of being anything other than a loathsome propagandist for communism.

As the most prominent Italian-American in city government, please allow me to formally disinvite you from ever mentioning Italian heritage ever again.

And yes, we Italians came here to work, create businesses, dig the subways, build the buildings -- and it was indeed a struggle. A struggle a rich kid like Zohran could never know. But we didn't ask for any handouts. There was no welfare, millions of us came here knowing there was only ourselves, our work, and our community -- and we thrived. We wanted to become Americans, and our people were proud to learn the language and wave the American flag.

And when the time came, millions of Italian-Americans returned to Europe to fight World War 2, my father included. Many of them had to fight their own former countrymen in Mussolini's Italy. And they did exactly that, because they were nothing less than Americans.

Quite the opposite of the current immigrant situation championed by people like Zohran, where we invite lazy and entitled foreigners to loot the treasury without asking anything in return, as they resentfully fly the flags of their own nations -- and could never be counted on to defend America.

My mother was a widow who raised five children on her own, working in a button factory. We didn't take a penny of government assistance. We relied on ourselves. It was hard work, but we did it, and we were grateful. And today I sit on the City Council, representing the very neighborhood I grew up in.

That's what being an Italian-American in New York means. Not the communist propaganda Zohran is pushing here.

It's about hard work, independence, heritage, and most importantly, pride in being an American above all else.

US Central Command, 11 October 2026

U.S. Forces Disable Cargo Vessel Attempting to Violate Blockade TAMPA, Fla. — U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces disabled a commercial cargo vessel in the Gulf of Oman, Oct. 10, after the ship’s crew ignored repeated warnings and attempted to run the ongoing naval blockade against Iran. A U.S. military fighter jet struck the stern of Panama-flagged M/V Ocean Molica (also known as the “Arika Sun”) with a precision munition, fully disabling the ship’s propulsion without harming the crew. The large cargo vessel was attempting to transit regional waters after having previously departed an Iranian port. CENTCOM forces resumed America’s blockade against all ships entering or departing Iranian ports on July 14. Four commercial vessels have been disabled and 135 ships have been turned around during three months of strict enforcement. Additionally, U.S. forces have destroyed 10 tankers linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' multibillion-dollar shadow network over the same period. All mariners are advised to heed blockade warnings from CENTCOM forces. Crews should also continue to monitor Notice to Mariners broadcasts and contact U.S. naval forces on bridge-to-bridge channel 16 when operating in the Gulf of Oman and Strait of Hormuz approaches.

ICE Was Mean to Him

👇 NYC Councilwoman representing District 19 of Queens

It’s great that Democrats are vocally and unanimously behind bloody machete guy. They want bloody machete guy back out on the street immediately because ICE was mean to him and they are morally bankrupt. Nothing else matters right now in New York other than making sure bloody machete guy is reunited with his fellow gang members so they can deal heroin and terrorize the rest of the city without worrying about ever being deported. They’ve already released bloody machete guy multiple times after the NYPD made the mistake of arresting him for outdated concepts like ‘violent crime’ before the Feds finally got to him. They want to abolish all immigration enforcement and prosecute ICE agents on behalf of bloody machete guy, because he’s their top priority. They will lobby the courts relentlessly until he’s released. This is what an entire political party in the United States is now aligned with, and surely that bodes well for our future.
