France

France have intensified its war on free speech this week by arresting a woman for wearing a T-shirt that criticised Israel by promoting the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement in support of Palestine.  The woman was taking part in a march for International Women’s Day in Paris on Sunday, when undercover police grabbed her and detained her for wearing the ‘illegal’ t-shirt that had the words “Boycott Apartheid Israel” printed on it. The arrest confirms that France will no longer tolerate t-shirts it deems to be offensive, marching the once great nation towards all-out tyranny.

US President Barack Obama has blasted the UK and France over their Libya policy in the aftermath of the 2011 overthrow of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. Blaming them for the current chaos in Libya, he referred to the situation as a “mess”and in private called it a “s**t show.” In an interview interview with the Atlantic, Obama said he was wrong to believe the allies would be “invested in the follow-up” to Gaddafi’s ouster.

While Asian stocks continued their longest rally since August overnight, led higher for the third consecutive day on the back of Japan (+1.3%), Australia (+1.2%) and China (+0.4%) strength, European stocks have as of this moment halted their longest rally since October (Stoxx -0.1%) and U.S. index futures are little changed.

Matthew Continetti had a nice reflection this morning on the wacked-out mindset of the GOP leadership:
