October 14 · 27 minHeritage Explains: Why is France on Fire? | Nile Gardiner
It’s a day ending in Y in France, which means rioting. Following in the spirit of 1789, the French are burning buildings, fighting the police, and overall behaving very poorly. This time, the revolutionaries are highschoolers joined by Islamo-communists and anarchists waving Palestinian flags, but France has seen this style of faux revolution before. The rioters are the proud heirs of May ’68, an event that looms so large in the French psyche, the mere mention of soixante-huitards, or 68ers, is enough to spark furious debate. Against the smoke and sirens lies a bigger question over whether France’s current system can hold. French presidential elections are coming soon, and far-left leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon wants to replace the Fifth Republic with a Sixth, led by, in his words, créolisation. By contrast, leader of the right-wing Marine Le Pen represents a nationalist defense of the old France, but both movements are deeply skeptical of the European Union. That’s a lot to cover. And who better to navigate us through some French politics than a Brit? My conversation with Nile Gardiner, Director of The Heritage Foundation’s Margaret Thatcher Center.

October 13 · 15 minDaily Signal: Victor Davis Hanson: Should the Fort Hood Terrorist Be Publicly Executed?
The proposed execution of Fort Hood terrorist Nidal Hasan has sparked controversy over whether the military should carry out the sentence by firing squad and make it public. Victor Davis Hanson revisits the 2009 massacre that killed 13 American soldiers, criticizing the Obama administration's response, the military's failure to act on warning signs, and the role of political correctness in the aftermath. Hanson also takes aim at Hillary Clinton for calling the proposed execution barbaric, contrasting her outrage with her role in the U.S. intervention in Libya and her infamous reaction to Muammar Gaddafi's brutal death. Alliance Defending Freedom - Alliance Defending Freedom is gathering 100,000 signatures on a petition to get the disturbing Rights, Respect, and Responsibility program out of schools and to protect parents' right to direct their kids' education.
