(RAIR Foundation)—Marine Le Pen’s recent speech delivers a clear and inspiring message of hope and renewal for France. Speaking just before Christmas, Le Pen framed France’s struggles as part of a broader shift happening across Europe and the Western world. She pointed to the collapse of old political systems and the rise of new movements, calling it an inevitable and much-needed change.
“France is experiencing a political upheaval,” she declared, emphasizing that the failures of the current government have left the country disillusioned and in desperate need of fresh leadership. Le Pen’s message resonates with many who are tired of economic stagnation and social division.
She criticized the left-wing government for neglecting crises like those in Mayotte and for policies that have led to layoffs and industrial decline. Her solidarity with those suffering reflects her vision for a united and stronger France.
Le Pen’s optimism shines through as she praised the resilience of the French people, likening their potential for renewal to the rebuilding of Notre-Dame de Paris. She called for a decisive break from the failed policies of the past and a bold step toward recovery. “The French are a resilient, intelligent people,” she said, urging confidence in the country’s future.
Ending on a heartfelt note, Le Pen wished all citizens a Merry Christmas, emphasizing the importance of unity and compassion. Her speech is a call to action for all those who believe in France’s greatness and are ready for a brighter future under new leadership.
Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
