PARIS (AP) – Cries of “It is warm!” rang out across the Seine on Saturday morning as Parisians jumped into the river – legally – for the first time in more than 100 years. Public swimming was allowed in designated areas of the Seine, including two newly built wooden decks near the Eiffel Tower and the Île Saint-Louis in central Paris. Before sunrise, a municipal officer skimmed away the last few patches of algae with a fishnet. Soon after, a line of eager Parisians formed, towels in hand, waiting for their chance to jump in. Every swimmer wore a bright yellow lifebuoy tied around their waist, part of strict safety measures enforced by a dozen lifeguards in high-visibility vests. The current was weak, just enough to tug gently at their limbs – a reminder that this is still a living, urban river. The return to swimming follows a 1.4 billion euro ($1.5 billion) cleanup project tied to last year’s Olympics. Officials now say the Seine meets European water quality standards on most days. The United Kingdom’s suppressive policies have consequences — with some wealthier individuals seeking greener pastures. On June 24, Forbes reported that the U.K. is facing a massive transfer of wealth out of the country, “the largest single-year exodus of wealth ever recorded.” Projections indicate 16,500 high-net-worth individuals — those whose “liquid investable wealth [is worth] $1 million or more” — are seeking residency in other countries. “These people are not actually leaving the U.K. They are simply getting paperwork in different countries, but aren’t necessarily making the move,” Katz clarified. The U.K. has spiraled downward, almost becoming a police state where its people are arrested over the most absurd and trivial matters. In October 2023, a woman was interrogated by police and initially received a fine that was later reduce to a warning for silently praying outside an abortion clinic. The country has history of arresting people for memes and opinions posted online, as well. All the while, U.K. officials and police covered up roving bands of foreign Muslim men raping young girls. When those British citizens with the means to live elsewhere see this, why would they plan for a future where they stay? The U.K.’s policies have deep, lasting results. Investing in the economy, starting businesses, and hiring could obviously suffer with a wealth drain. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/07/biggest-exodus-wealth-happening-western-nation-us-take/ The Gateway Pundit previously reported that at least 13 people are dead, and more than 20 children are missing from a Christian church camp amid catastrophic flooding in central Texas. Now, it is being reported that at least 24 people are dead, with a frantic overnight search still underway. Kerr County officials confirm at least 24 fatalities after torrential rains—up to 12 inches—dropped overnight on July 4, causing the Guadalupe River to surge over 20 feet in under an hour, according to The Guardian. The people of Mexico are getting a taste of their own medicine after years of flooding into America, both legally and illegally, by the millions. On July 4, hundreds of unruly demonstrators held a protest in Mexico City against the gentrification of their neighborhoods, which is playing a role in rising house prices. The furious Mexicans accused Americans of “stealing” their homes and “imposing their culture” on them. Do these phrases ring a bell back in the States? @patrician Mexico seems like such a dangerous place, you can't pay me enough money to live there. There are enclaves where Americans go to retire and also tourist destinations where people think they're "safe." It's getting to the point where nowhere in the world is really safe anymore. In a viral exposé from Rome, travel vlogger Kurt Caz captures what he calls the collapse of European identity—where migrants dominate public spaces, locals feel powerless, and even questioning the chaos earns you the label ‘racist.’ A popular travel vlogger has gone viral after documenting what he calls the “collapse of European identity” in the heart of Italy’s capital. In just days, the video has racked up over a million views—not for Rome’s ancient wonders, but for exposing the city’s descent into chaos, crime, and unchecked mass migration. The video comes from South African-German YouTuber Kurt Caz, whose 3.3 million subscribers know him for raw, on-the-ground reports from around the globe. But his latest dispatch from Rome hits differently. “This is Rome? This is Europe?” “I don’t see a single Italian here. I’m more Italian than any of these people.” Caz walks viewers through what he calls a city “riddled” with migrants, pickpockets, drug addicts, and NGO-backed vagrants. Italian locals agree, telling Caz that migrants now openly defecate in public, sleep in parks, abuse drugs, and steal from tourists while police look the other way. In the opening scene, Caz joins a local anti-pickpocket team in Rome’s metro. Within minutes, they catch multiple thieves in action. The culprits—mostly women covering their faces are cornered and confronted. “These people have no morals. They steal from the elderly, from disabled tourists—and nothing happens to them.” “You can’t touch them. You can’t push them. But the police don’t stop them either.” Reflecting on the scene, Caz calls out the media and politicians who promised that mass migration would benefit Europe: “This is the thank you you get. These are the ‘engineers and doctors’ they promised you. They hate us—but they want to live in our countries.” “The real racists are them.” The video ends with more confrontations, more pickpockets caught, and more scenes of urban decay—trash, urine, stolen goods, smashed windows, and broken infrastructure. “Look at the f***ing state of the city. This isn’t Rome—it’s a war zone.” “This is Europe now. And nobody’s stopping it.” [Video at the link] https://rairfoundation.com/does-this-look-like-europe-travel-vlogger-goes/ Five Doves, Steve Mullin (6 July 2025) @patrician Also shows how people raise their kids these days. There was a time that type of behavior would not have been tolerated, especially that punk at the end who was fairly obviously old enough to know better. Reminds me of something I read that said you're from the if you stop crying I'll buy you something generation; we're from the if you're going to cry I'll give you something to cry about generation. We are not the same. Even the UN has described Canada’s assisted suicide program as ‘state-sponsored eugenics’ and called upon the government to curtail plans to expand euthanasia access. In Canada, we kill the disabled. Over 90 percent of babies diagnosed with Down syndrome in the womb are aborted; pre-born children diagnosed with other disabilities usually meet the same fate. But for decades, our Nazi-style lethal ableism was limited to those not yet born. With the expansion of euthanasia eligibility to those suffering solely from disability or mental illness scheduled to come into effect in 2027, that is slated to change. A story recently posted to X by Samantha Smith: A family member of mine is a nurse in Canada. They performed several assisted dying procedures at the care home they worked at, before refusing to continue. In one case, the family of a mentally disabled man decided they wanted him to be euthanised. He didn’t want to die. But my family member was legally forced to end his life. They held his hand while he told them “I’m hungry” and “I’m thirsty.” That poor man didn’t understand what was happening to him as he was pumped full of medication that would end his life, and my family member wept for the soul that was being lost unnecessarily. He wasn’t terminally ill. He wasn’t particularly old. He wasn’t dying. He didn’t want to die. But he didn’t have a choice. Because his life was deemed dispensable by his family, and the Government gave them the power to end his life regardless of his needs or wishes. ... the Assisted Dying Bill opens the door... It starts with “choice” and “dignity.” But suicide isn’t only done “when the patient wants it.” And the countries where it is already legalised have shown us the grim reality. In the Netherlands, 40% of euthanasia deaths occur without patient consent. In Canada, it has been offered to Paralympians who only asked for a mobility aid. If it can happen there; it will happen here. People will be killed against their will. Canada is already killing those with disability or mental illness; thus far, euthanasia practitioners are forced to come up with other reasons for doing so (the written reason for Alan Nichols’ lethal injection was “hearing loss”). But once eligibility requirements are expanded in 2027, the floodgates will open. There is still time to stop this expansion, and we must doing everything we can to do so. The lives of people with disabilities depend on it. @patrician It's heartbreaking reading this. So much evil in this world. When are we getting out of here? When are we getting out of here? There's a list of potential upcoming dates in Doves this week. I'll go post it in the Rapture Chat section. Humanity is set to start shrinking several decades ahead of schedule. Global fertility is falling fast. The aging populations of rich countries are relying on ever fewer workers to support their economy, dooming those younger generations to a future of higher taxes, higher debt, or later retirement—or all three. Birth rates in middle-income countries are also plummeting, putting their economic development at risk. Practically the only countries set to continue growing are desperately poor. By about 2084, according to the gold-standard United Nations “World Population Prospects,” the global population will officially begin its decline. Rich countries will all have become like Japan, stagnant and aging. Every two years, the UN’s demographers revise their population projections, and for the past 10 years, they’ve always had to revise in the same direction: down. Next year, they’ll do so again. In reality, the worldwide population decline is set to begin decades ahead of their expectations. Because global fertility trends are much worse than they, and probably you, think. Jesús Fernández-Villaverde, a University of Pennsylvania macroeconomist, studies how poor countries develop. This development usually happens alongside a fertility transition. As people move from rural areas to cities, their economic opportunities expand, and kids become less crucial as a source of agricultural labor. Women gain access to contraception and education. They go from having about six kids, on average, to two. Fernández-Villaverde calls this “the standard modernization story,” and he’s been teaching it for decades.

Please keep protecting the innocent all over the world. A little boy in Louisiana recently had a spiritual encounter in the midst of a terrifying experience, and his story is touching many people. Krista Parker was with her family that included her six-year-old son, DJ, on the Fourth of July at the Paragon Casino Resort in Marskville, LA when the incident happened, KLFY reported. Parker said DJ was sitting by the pool with his feet in the water, noting he is frightened of water and usually avoids it. However, it only took a split second for him to somehow get into the water and nearly drown, but Parker quickly began performing CPR along with her husband, who is the boy’s step father, to try and revive him. “Lord, cover my baby with your blood in the name of Jesus. Lord, please give me my baby back,” the mother said she prayed. Water began pouring out of the child’s mouth but his mother said his eyes were bloodshot and he was not blinking. Moments later, he threw up and was crying when emergency crews arrived to take over. DJ later apparently told a nurse what happened to him in those initial terrifying moments. Parker recalled, “He looked at me and my husband. He said, ‘No, Daddy, no momma. God is real. I saw him. I saw him and uncle Quimaine.'” According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), drowning can happen in the blink of an eye and is often silent. The agency also said, “Formal swimming lessons can reduce the risk of drowning.” ...his mother is encouraging parents to be CPR certified in case of an emergency. She is also reiterating DJ’s statement about God, saying he is real and that her son described God as being made up of all colors. Parker said his description made her realize, “We need to love one another and be a unit and God is real. Get closer to God. You seek him, you shall receive.”
