Politics tamfitronics FIVE YEARS OUT from the final episode of Game of Thronesand we're once again spending time in Westeros. House of the Dragon is back for Season 2. If you thought Season 1 was intense, Season 2 is only going to get more violent and shocking. Based on the first season's finale, we know war is on the horizon. The throne of Westeros is up for grabs, and the most influential families in the land will use anything—dragons, politicking, and subterfuge—to gain power.

Politics tamfitronics On Sunday, France voted in the first round of its National Assembly elections, which were called by President Emmanuel Macron earlier this month, three years before they were scheduled. The result was that the far-right National Rally—the party of the former Presidential candidate Marine Le Pen—scored approximately thirty-four per cent of the vote, followed by an alliance of left parties, with around twenty-eight per cent of the vote, and Macron’s centrist coalition in third place, with twenty-one per cent of the vote. The specific seat-by-seat results are not yet known, but the far right appears to be on the verge of either a legislative majority—which would mean that the National Rally would likely get to choose the next Prime Minister—or a hung Parliament, with the far right in control of the most seats....
