Sounds like Trouillard has ten Jewish people she talks to, all of them employed by Columbia or Harvard and about to have their 7 figure salaries slashed by Trump.

Where to begin? Trouillard presents no evidence to support her conclusion. France has its own existential problem which she ignores ( becoming Muslim majority; Arabic supplanting the French language; Sharia law replacing French law in more parts of France; No Go zones; uncontrolled immigration). If an American Jew is considering leaving the U.S., it could only be because of the antisemitism of the Secular Left.

Trump, and his policies, have been supportive of Jews and Israel.

Who am I? I am a Jew whose father was born in Germany, the youngest of seven siblings. He left Germany for Holland in 1933, seeing the rise of Hitler and leaving behind his older and established family to later die in the camps. My father and Dutch mother were saved by a righteous Christian family in the attic of their home for three years until after D-Day. And for further context, my wife is a Persian Jew who arrived in the US in July 1975.

I thank God every day that I live in the U.S. and that Trump is our President.

Ha ha - I'm gonna try that with 'Clyde', my ChatGPT guru.

I just tried - here's what he came up with:

"If someone wanted to assign a medical code for documentation purposes, they’d have to use a very general one — like an unspecified mental or behavioral disorder — but that would be subjective and not an official match."

Speaking of an "unspecified mental or behavioral disorder" - how are the Commie-Dems doing these days? :)

France was one of the worst countries during WW2, marching their Jews into the arms of the Nazis. Stealing the properties of the expelled Jews. It has been well documented. We won’t even bother reviewing the Germans. I was born in Berlin in 1945, and have dual citizenship. As much as I like to visit, I would never, ever move to Germany or France. My father was Dutch and my mother Polish-German. I was raised in Holland until immigration. The us is the best country in the world, even with her flaws. I am appalled at the antisemitism in our country!

In June 1990, my family and I returned to East Berlin to visit friends. Anti-semitism had (supposedly) been erradicated under 40 years of Soviet-Socialist rule. Until the first subway station I saw upon arrival: spraypainted across the entrance, a swastika and the word, "Juden." It took no time at all for the old hatreds to pollinate again. During that time, my young son's passport substituted his stepdad's surname, McConnell, for his paternal, Friedman. At that time, airspace outside the United States was not safe for Jewish passengers. No preaching from the French!

90%+ of” journalist” try to shove “ facts” into their stories that can tie something completely at odds with what they are trying to prove, because their leftist thought process (taught to them at leftist universities) won’t let them see the whole picture. Anything that fits into the narrative they have already formulated, they will twist, bend, fold and smash into their story no matter how much context needs to be removed in order to move their Politics forward.

This is why I miss Rush so much. How he would play back all the liberal media talking points delivered in the exact same way across an entire day or even news cycle and discuss how and why they were deflecting or even rewriting what truly had happened. And then we would sit and watch while half of the country exploded in anger over something that did not happen or happened in a completely different way than the media narrative portrayed it.

I truly hope the days are gone, where the left can get away with lying to the American people. Maybe the only thing good to ever come from having the Internet available. I don’t know much about the European press but in America, I know it was established to be a watchdog on government not a mouthpiece for.

I’m sure the problem lies with people not devoting enough time to get all the facts and context from stories that matter. The media plays on this fact by sensationalizing stories and cramming them into sound bites. It makes it so much easier for people to be outraged at their cocktail parties, and at the vineyards on the weekend, armed with minimal facts And maximum outrage.

God help us all if the school system keeps turning out these idiots

You are quite literally describing Mr. Andy Caldwell's last piece this past Sunday. He presupposed the presence of Chinese men as proof of an "invasion"

"Do you recall the stories about military-aged men from China coming across our border illegally in droves? Many people assumed that these young men were involved in some way, shape, or form with the Chinese Communist Party, including perhaps, being members of the army of the People’s Republic of China. While that still may be the case, we know for certain that many of these young men are associates of China’s version of the Mafia, commonly known as the Triad." This is literally speculation written as fact "many people assumed-" who are these people? Why should I believe them? Why does young man = potentisl threat.

He even doubled down saying "No one is allowed to leave China" in the comments. Blud that's comic book villain levels of delusion.

This isn't a "left" thing, it's a [the modern political spectrum is a joke - let us return to the Siglo de Oro] thing.

I read this article titled "Are U.S. Jews Really Making German Citizenship “Plan B” ??"

By Jim Buckley and of course I have another title close to home via Russia as

"Russian Alleged Jews Immigrate to Germany, 1995-2003, under the German Holocaust Program"

One of the largest groups who immigrated to Germany were alleged Russian Jews from 1990's

after the "Fall of the Kremlin" The real question is how many Russian's who immigrated were really Jewish or did they immigrate to Germany for their HUGE SOCIAL PROGRAM?

"Russians Jews Germans" Photographs by Michael Kerstgens from 1992 to the Present

https://tinyurl.com/459cetcc AND https://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctt1ch7904

"Michael Kerstgens is one of the few photographers to have documented the immigration of Russian-speaking Jews to Germany from the former Soviet Union intensively over a long period of time."

So lets bring this back full circle to our Lil-Ole-Russian-Loving Beach Town.

Any Russian Jews Immigrate to Santa Barbara? Any Problems may we all ask.

Did these Russian Jewish Immigrants use any Fraudulent Documents for their Immigration?

As a Jew, Europe, including Germany, would be the last place I would go to to escape antisemitism. There is much more antisemitism in these countries due to the explosion of Muslim immigration to Europe in the last 15 years. It also explains the enormous hostility toward Israel from France, Great Britain, Ireland and, yes, even Germany nowadays.

America, outside of Israel, is the best place for Jews and has been since WW2. That is not to say there hasn't been a spike in antisemitism in the US, particularly on the left and in academia. It is somewhat worrisome that you are beginning to see it in some places in conservative media. Tucker Carlson and some others (Marjorie Taylor Greene) have been persistent critics of Israel and lately it has spilled over to Jews, which is worrisome. I also have said to the chagrin of my fellow liberal American Jews, that their liberal views and irrational hostility to Trump does not endear them to half of the population that doesn't share their views. The irony is that many of these liberal Jews are as hostile to Israel, almost as much as any of Israel's virulent critics in Europe.

In the end, I hope America never abandons Israel, America's greatest ally and friend, and remains the greatest country in the world for Jews and anyone else here legally trying to realize the American dream.

Anti-semitism? Open and Unapologetic? One need only look to American college campuses. That would include our own UC, Santa Barbara, where one year ago Jewish students were terrorized and Girvetz Hall taken over with anti-Jewish filth spewed by the protesters. None of those thugs wore MAGA. Hatred and Bigotry masked (literally) as Liberalism. Remember always Student Body President Tessa Veksler who stood up to the anti-Semites, and stood her ground.

Good. Any "Jew" dumb enough to "flee" to Islamophile Germany due to Trump's SCARY (😱😿) "oppression" of "immigrants" is a leftist "Democrat" who needs to be culled from US voting pool anyway. Their policies of mass immigration & gvt-union monopoly brainwashing of children are suicidal. The former imports the "Religion of Peace" which hates them, the latter turns public schools into terror-symp madrassas. Leftist Jews are no good to themselves, the USA, or Israel. Sadly, they'll probly still vote in our elections, since our "leaders" stupidly tolerate dual citizenship = dual allegiance.

In the last 20yrs, Germany's had hundreds of synagogue attacks by the "Religion of Peace" & neo-Nazis (kinda redundant). Thousands of Jews attacked. Attacks increasing. Maybe we get lucky & their genes get culled too so they can't vote absentee, unless other Dems do it for them.

Sane Jews are Republicans or becoming Republicans. They don't move to Germany.

It's good, yet sad to know that we aren't the only nation with ignorant journalists. Isn't it amazing that the Europeans put the spin on anti-semitism as a Trump phenomenon, all the while the truth is that this stems from those on the left side of the political spectrum!

Mr. Richards, I'd suggest you actually go back and learn about the Nazis. The word socialist was in name only and mostly for propaganda. Once in power, the Nazis went after the true socialists, who were then killed or imprisoned. Obviously, the Nazies tried the same with the communists with less success in the end.

I suggest you revisit your alleged knowledge of history and definitions of fascism & socialism. National Socialists were socialists. See Hitler's 26 points, which they fulfilled. Fascism is a kind of socialism, almost as bad as another variant, communism, which has murdered far more people than the Nazis did.

Industries weren't *officially* nationalized, but Nazis heavily controlled them. From an economic-rational POV, control is ownership, ownership is control. To the extent gvt controls your property it's a senior co-owner, not liable for expenses etc. Nazis heavily regulated production, prices, wages, imports, exports & investment priorities. It was a command economy, like all "Democratic" socialists dream of & have significantly imposed in the USA.

Nazis had "social welfare" programs. Subsidized vacays, health, maternity, housing. Only for Aryans. Kinda like how our "Dem" social racists discriminate against the natural born & white males, in favor of immigrants, "refugees" & invaders "of color".

"Dems" love changing definitions. One of my fave D fairy tales, when communism goes into mass murder mode or otherwise fails, as it always does, is "that wasn't communism." D is the original racist slaver party, still is, plus socialism. Now we'll probly be treated to the "Southern Strategy" fairy tale, allegedly explaining how Southerners became Repubs, with the usual silent assumption that southerners are racists who long for slavery days, while Northerners don't have a racist bone in their bodies. Fly in the ointment: D is STILL the party of Jew-hate, Israel hate & discrimination on basis of race, mainly against white males.

It's actually Hitler's 25 points. But I guess you're the expert. My middle name has umlauts - but you have your parody name and avatar. I'm very familiar with how the socialist part of the Nazi name gets misinterpreted on purpose. I guess if you think Fascism is a type of socialism, we don't have the same understanding on the topic to communicate.

Earl: Sadly, you are correct. She and so many there – and here – profess to believe that the Cackler would be better than Trump to "negotiate" (read: "give away") Ukraine than President Trump. You've got to admit, however, that if you are a committed communist, socialist, bleeding heart liberal, or simply uninformed (but I repeat myself), Donald Trump has placed a giant wrecking ball in the back of his Republican pickup truck and has used it most effectively to smash the insidious political structures of today's Democrat Party. We can, or should, all understand their dismay. They've been working on that "liberal" edifice for nearly 100 years (since FDR), and along comes Mr. Trump to show the world that the structure wasn't made of steel or even concrete, but cardboard. Imagine too, how depressed we'd be if Kamala had actually won!

How did Mao convince the Chinese that the Nationalist (imperfect as they were) were the bad guys after bleeding and standing against the Japanese? Simple they ran and hid the truth and called uneducated country folk to raise up against the capitalists. They then took everything including traditional family cemetery plots ..... They also destroyed massive amounts of the Beijing imperial city....

What are the current (like that?) Socialists/Communist doing? Hiding the truth about capitalists and the long term need for profit to maintain business. What are the most recent non-Christian political types doing in places like New York? What are the destruction of Important Culture aspects that protect personal, family, and business properties? At least Hitler understood that without profit that could be taxed there was no money for the SS and wars.

How is it then possible for Jews to not view the long term of history and in particular post WWII and not get it that backing and giving money to the Left is the fools decision? How is it sooooo important to be patrons of the "arts" that are the smoke screen for Radicals?

But understand for these types the importance is how they are viewed and not the importance of historical record and what has worked.

Let's end with the end of the article.........

"Perhaps such slanted “think” pieces have become prevalent because France – if it continues in the direction it is heading – will be a Muslim-majority country within the next decade.

As will Germany."""

Let's hope the greatest nation of the modern history will not go down that gopher hole.

Capitalism is neither a Christian nor moral economic system. There is no truth to hide. Yes socialism is a godless, materialist system that attempts to create a utopia completely disconnected by faith - their anti capitalism, however flawed or self serving at least realizes capitalism isn't as it seems.

Good One Jim, your article exemplifies what happens when 90% of the media is controlled/owned by (6) corporations & those corps are controlled/owned by a handful of people. These are the same surface skatering jurnos that brought us Climate Change, Covid, Trump is Hitler, etc. etc. etc

What happens when those same corporations are operated and controlled by a political ideology?

What happens when the news is no longer free from bias?

What happens when the news is no longer reliable and independent?

What happens when the news is no longer trustworthy?

What happens when the news simply becomes an extension/arm of a political party?

Fact becomes fiction?

Fiction becomes fact?

When does news become propaganda?

Identity creation?

How does the average person, who is under constant financial stress (by design), find time to research and discern fact v fiction?

The ‘news’ is totally polluted with misinformation, disinformation, and other Mindwarp articles in order to continue the enslavement of mankind. Most people are under a spell and don’t understand that our country is at war (2nd American Revolution + 1st Global Revolution). Both sides of the war fighters know they are at war, but it is a silent war, and 90% of the population can’t see what’s happening. Instead they reside in the fake social construct…stuck in The Matrix.

PS. Pray for Trump, the man in the arena, as he realigns The World…Big Day tomorrow…

The French "Journalist" has got it soooo wrong. What has Trump been doing with all the colleges for their involvement of anti semitism on their campuses including Columbia and Harvard. During Biden presidency he let the anti semitism rise along with the sit ins supporting Palestine during the Summer at Colleges where Jewish students were harrased and attacked. Even at our own UCSB.

Ivanka is married to Kushner. Like DJT didn't work with hundreds of Jewish people in his business in NY.

I think Stephanie had a bit too much Vin or something because she's way of the mark in this one.

There is no hope for France or Germany without Christ. Migrants didn't destroy Europe - revolutionaries and apathetic Christians did. If Europe wishes to be saved it must return to the days before the Protestant Revolt, before the "Glorious" Revolution and the rise of liberalism and secularism all across Europe in the 18th, 19th, and 20th century.

America also isn't being taken over. There is nothing to replace here, nothing to preserve - and the illegals are normal people [who are poor], petty criminals, and gangs - not exactly a civilizational threat. The latter don't seek to destroy a nation, but to reap from it [like the Anglo pirates...].

"Initially, Luther interpreted the Turkish incursions as divine punishment for the sins of European Christians and their leaders, particularly the papacy. He argued that resisting the Turks would be akin to resisting God's will. It is important to note that Luther saw the Turks as a terrifying force but not inherently evil, and even praised some aspects of their rule, viewing them as more disciplined than the papacy at times."

"In On War Against the Turk, Luther is less critical of the Turks than he is of the Pope, whom he calls an anti-Christ, or the Jews, whom he describes as "the Devil incarnate"

The protestants "loved" the Muslims because they were anti Catholic. Protestants and the Gallicians [French] repeatedly allied themselves with enemies of the Catholic Church to weaken the Church's influence. If modern Europe is being invaded, so be it. Let the protestants suffer from the same faith they allied with.

Move back to Germany, the origin of the Holocaust? I say if one really feels that oppressed, go for it, and don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. Surprisingly how many American Jews are some of the most vocal and toxic against Trump and MAGA. The press corps, (which some would say are over represented by American Jewry) is rife with malcontents who despise Trump, while seemingly constantly taking shots at Republicans, Conservatives and Christians in general. All while having duel citizenship with Israel. Wolf Blitzer from CNN comes to mind. Why is this? Trump moved the Israeli embassy to Jerusalem, has given unwavering support of Israel in Gaza (when the rest of the world has condemned us) and has done more for the state of Israel than ALL other Presidents combined.

Ironically, there is also a phenomenon known as “Blaxit” whereby some American Blacks are moving back to Africa for a better life. Imagine that, moving to Senegal or Mozambique for a better life, really? Needless to say, many are moving back.
