A massive robbery takes place in France.
The United Nations Globalists almost got away with a huge global tax.
And a shocking report comes out about our children’s gender proclivities. It will shock you. Or, it won’t.
A Professional Hit
According to the Daily Wire:
A band of thieves broke into the Louvre Museum in Paris on Sunday, making off with elegant and historically significant pieces of jewelry of “incalculable” value, France’s interior minister said.
In a heist that lasted seven minutes, a group of thieves used a motorized lift on a side of the museum that is under construction to rise above the ground floor. They entered the museum through a window using a glass cutter, according to the BBC.
Once inside, the thieves threatened security guards, who left the area, before breaking into display cases, grabbing the jewelry, and fleeing the scene on two scooters. Nobody was harmed in the heist, which French Culture Minister Rachida Dati described as “very professional.”
The stolen items were from the museum’s Apollo Gallery, which houses the crown jewels of past royals of France. The thieves snatched tiaras, earrings, and other items that together contain thousands of diamonds and other jewels.
The stolen items include a tiara, decorative bow, and brooch from Empress Eugenie, the wife of Napoleon III. The tiara alone includes 212 pearls, 1,998 diamonds, and 992 rose-cut diamonds, according to The New York Times.
A sapphire set consisting of a matching tiara, necklace, and earrings were also stolen. The set is of unknown origin, but was worn by royals such as Queen Hortense, the wife of Louis Bonaparte. Queen Marie-Amélie, the wife of Louis Philippe I, also wore the set. The pieces together include 24 Ceylon sapphires, which only come from Sri Lanka, and 1,083 diamonds.
The bandits also made off with an emerald and diamond necklace presented by Napoleon to his second wife, Marie Louise, as a wedding gift for their marriage in 1810. The necklace includes 32 emeralds and 1,138 diamonds. Included in the Louvre’s set was also a pair of matching earrings that the thieves also stole.
French President Emmanuel Macron pledged in a post on social media that the jewelry would be recovered and the thieves brought to justice. He also said a new “renaissance” project to update the Louvre includes updates that have strengthened the museum’s security.
They Need to Go Away
According to the Daily Wire:
A global tax on shipping emissions won’t take effect after pressure from the Trump administration to abandon the climate activist-fueled proposal.
The International Maritime Organization had been set to vote on Friday on adopting a global carbon tax aimed at pushing the shipping industry to stop using fossil fuels. But that vote did not happen after President Donald Trump on Thursday called for other countries to oppose the tax, saying that the United States would not “tolerate” or “adhere” to the measure.
Instead, the International Maritime Organization, an agency of the United Nations that regulates shipping, moved Friday to postpone the vote on the tax for a year.
The decision was praised by Trump administration officials who spent the week fighting the proposal.
Last week, the Trump administration warned that the tax could increase shipping costs by up to 10% and said that it was considering a number of retaliatory actions for countries that support the measure. These actions included investigating countries pursuing anti-competitive practices, imposing visa restrictions and increasing processing fees, and placing additional port fees and commercial penalties.
What a Shock!
According to Perplaxity:
Recent data shows a significant decline in the number of young people identifying as non-binary in the United States, particularly among college and high school students.
Key Findings
- Multiple large-scale surveys of U.S. college and high school students reveal that only about 3.6% identify as a gender other than male or female in 2025, down noticeably from 6.8% in 2023 and 5.2% in 2024.
- At specific institutions, such as Brown University, the percentage of students identifying as non-binary fell from 5% in 2022 and 2023 to 2.6% in 2025. Phillips Academy Andover reported a drop from 7.4% in 2023 to 3% in 2025.
- This decline is especially marked among incoming college freshmen, signaling that younger cohorts are less likely to adopt non-binary or other queer identities compared to their older peers.
Analysis and Perspectives
- Researchers have suggested various reasons for this trend, including possible shifts in cultural pressures, political polarization, greater mental health stability among youth, and the rise and fall of social identity categories as cultural “fashions” or trends.
- The drop does not seem to be directly linked to changes in conservative political attitudes, decreased support for progressive social causes, or significant changes in religious affiliation.
- Other LGBTQ+ identities, such as gay and lesbian, remain stable, while bisexual identification saw a rise and then a slight decline in the same period.

Genius!
According to the New York Post:
A Florida man was hit with federal charges this week after he allegedly stole $7,000 in scratch-off lottery tickets from a convenience store, then returned to the scene of the crime mere hours later to try to redeem his loot, according to authorities.
Justin Farley, 43, pulled into a St. Petersburg Circle K on May 5, and “opened multiple cabinets and took scratch-off lottery tickets,” before fleeing the scene in his grey Hyundai Elantra, according to a probable cause affidavit reviewed by The Post.
Roughly 40 minutes later, Farley arrived at an area 7-Eleven to redeem the $7,000 worth of scratch-offs, according to the document filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida.
After an unsuccessful attempt, the bumbling thief returned to the same Circle K and tried to cash in on the seven ticket books he had stolen from the store. His attempt once again failed, the document said.
He then left and returned to the Circle K minutes later, only to come up empty a third time, according to the filing.
Disparaged, Farley drove back to the 7-Eleven in a black mask, yellow shirt, and black Nikes and pointed a replica Glock at the clerk, demanding a staffer open the cash register, prosecutors alleged.
He successfully made off with $120 from the register before escorting the clerk to the back of the store and snatching a pack of Newport cigarettes, prosecutors said.
A slew of evidence, including his license plate and surveillance footage, led cops to pull over Farley on May 22 and book him on commercial burglary and grand theft, according to details first reported by The Independent.
After his arrest, Farley told cops he “needed money,” the affidavit said.
To Breathe or Not to Breathe
According to Perplexity:
Pressurized metered-dose inhalers contribute a significant amount to global warming, mainly due to their use of hydrofluoroalkane (HFA) propellants, which have a global warming potential hundreds to thousands of times greater than carbon dioxide. In the United States alone, inhalers release more than 2 million metric tons of CO₂-equivalent emissions each year—about as much as the annual emissions from 530,000 gasoline-powered cars.
Most of the environmental impact is from pressurized metered-dose inhalers (pMDIs), which use HFA propellants to deliver medication. These propellant gases remain in the canisters even after the medication has been dispensed, slowly leaking into the atmosphere when discarded. The medication itself does not contribute to emissions; the issue is solely with the propellant.
Metered-dose inhalers (pMDIs): Account for about 98% of all inhaler-related emissions.
