Nationwide riots lead to chaos and violence across France. Is this really just "students" peacefully protesting as the media would like you believe? The footage and facts prove otherwise. Will America learn from France, who is a nuclear power by the way, or make the same mistakes we've seen across Europe? In sports, the 2026 World Series is officially set as a historic matchup between the American League champion Tampa Bay Rays and the National League champion Milwaukee Brewers. Rick and Sherri think they have a backyard picnic to themselves, until a landscaper ruins the mood.
