Par AFP Par Jérémy TALBOT © 2026 AFP Avec l'Anglais Harry Kane, le Ballon d'Or 2026 consacre un profil rare de serial-buteur travailleur et collectif, architecte du jeu et finisseur hors pair, un footballeur de 33 ans anti "bling bling" qui a bien vieilli.Bien sûr, il y a les chiffres, étourdissants: 73 buts inscrits en 2025-2026 avec le Bayern Munich (demi-finaliste de la Ligue des champions) et l'Angleterre (médaillée de bronze au Mondial), une prouesse seulement dépassée par les 82 réalisations de Lionel Messi en 2010-2011.Le Londonien d'origine brille par sa science du déplacement, sa qualité de frappe et son jeu de tête, mais sa panoplie est bien plus large que ses lignes statistiques.C'est aussi un chef d'orchestre habitué à reculer pour mieux organiser le jeu, distribuer des caviars et montrer l'exemple, comme il le fait dans le vestiaire avec une présence discrète mais respectée, toujours très écoutée."J'ai le sentiment d'avoir toujours eu cette qualité de passe, cette vision du jeu et cette intelligence footballistique — cette compréhension du jeu — tout au long de ma carrière. Et je pense que ces qualités se sont pleinement développées ces deux dernières années", a-t-il déclaré dans un entretien récent aux médias ... Continue Reading »

Par AFP © 2026 AFP Considérée comme la "Reine" du football féminin, l'Espagnole Alexia Putellas, 32 ans, a prolongé son règne en remportant lundi son troisième Ballon d'Or, venu couronner une décennie où elle a tout gagné sur le plan collectif et individuel.Celle que toute l'Espagne appelle par son prénom, et qui partageait son trône avec sa coéquipière barcelonaise Aitana Bonmati, lauréate en 2023, 2024 et 2025, s'y est ré-installée lundi à Londres, sa nouvelle terre d'adoption, après toute une vie au Barça.Vingt ans au total, dont quatorze dans l'équipe première catalane, devenue la locomotive du football féminin en Europe, avec quatre Ligues des champions remportées depuis 2021 et dix championnats d'Espagne.C'est donc avec le coeur lourd, mais avec une armoire à trophées pleine à craquer, que la capitaine blaugrana, brassard autour du bras, a quitté son club de toujours par la grande porte, en soulevant une quatrième C1, son 38e trophée en club."Nous avons mené l'équipe féminine plus loin que nous ne l'aurions jamais imaginé. Au début, le métier de footballeuse n'était même pas reconnu comme une profession, et aujourd'hui, je ne peux que me sentir privilégiée d'avoir pris part à cette évolution", déclarait-elle en fin de ...

Par AFP Par Antoine MAIGNAN © 2026 AFP Au coeur d'un automne marqué par de nombreux mouvements de contestation virant parfois aux pillages, le Sénat se penche mardi sur le projet de loi "casseurs-payeurs" et ses mesures décriées sur la responsabilité collective des fauteurs de trouble et la saisie de leurs prestations sociales."On ne peut pas, au moment où nous avons autant de difficultés d'argent public, à chaque fois, faire appel au contribuable et à la solidarité nationale pour réparer ce que les casseurs ont cassé".Le Premier ministre Sébastien Lecornu a résumé ces derniers jours les enjeux autour de l'examen de ce texte gouvernemental, qui démarre à 16H30 au Sénat. Son adoption est prévue dans la soirée, avant sa transmission à l'Assemblée nationale.Elaboré durant l'été, notamment pour répondre aux dégradations ayant suivi le sacre européen du Paris Saint-Germain, le jeu du calendrier parlementaire en fait un objet éminemment politique depuis les scènes de chaos du 17 octobre, où 2.201 commerces ont été vandalisés selon le décompte des chambres de commerce et d'industrie en France (CCI France).Sébastien Lecornu en a fait une priorité des derniers mois précédant l'élection présidentielle, soucieux "d'avoir des outils nouveaux" pour "basculer de la réponse pénale ...

Par AFP © 2026 AFP Un cessez-le-feu annoncé par Melania Trump en vue d'une opération humanitaire a débuté mardi matin autour d'Olechky, ville isolée du sud de l'Ukraine sous occupation russe et en proie à des pénuries.Au-delà de cette trêve très localisée acceptée par les deux camps au moment où Donald Trump semble se rapprocher de Vladimir Poutine, les bombardements n'ont pas cessé. Plusieurs salves de missiles balistiques ont frappé Kiev dans la nuit, endommageant des locaux universitaires et un pont très fréquenté.À Olechky, où les habitants pris au piège manquent depuis plusieurs semaines de nourriture et de médicaments, Kiev et Moscou ont confirmé la suspension des combats, comme prévu, à 01H00 GMT.L'AFP n'a pas été en mesure de vérifier immédiatement l'arrêt des hostilités, dont la durée et les contours géographiques restent flous.Alors que la Russie refuse un cessez-le-feu généralisé depuis le lancement de son invasion il y a quatre ans et demi, la Première dame des États-Unis Melania Trump avait annoncé vendredi cette mesure localisée afin de faciliter l'acheminement de l'aide humanitaire.

In Washington last week's move to cut Ukrainian drones' connections to Starlink, Elon Musk's satellite internet service, might have seemed like a diplomatic warning. In Ukraine it was felt on the battlefield. In a single sortie, one unit saw $1m-worth of drones fall from the sky after limits were imposed on any that flew faster than 160kph. (By October 22nd some links were functioning again without speed limits, according to Ukrainian commanders.) No one in Donald Trump's administration admits to making the decision. It appears to have come from a small circle around the president, Mr Musk and Steve Witkoff, the special envoy to Russia. Reports suggest Mr Musk wanted to punish Ukraine for striking Russian refineries. One official says he contacted the White House only after imposing the restrictions. Continue Reading »

It was a week since Vladimir Putin had ordered the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and the Russian president's war was not going according to plan. Continue Reading »

Are students saying what they really think in civics classes? Continue Reading »

Written by John Wood Jr. (Center bias) and originally published on the OmniAmerican Society. I was recently watching a debate between Steven Crowder (a popular, irreverent, and influential conservative personality known for the show “Louder with Crowder” and his “change my mind” open campus debates with students) and esteemed Harvard Law School professor Randall Kennedy, who I think it’s fair to say is one of the more prominent educators in America.The pairing caught my eye as I was scrolling through YouTube. But what was fun to see was that, in their debate, they had a surprising chemistry, albeit a combative one.The topic was free speech and affirmative action on college campuses in general and Harvard’s record on free speech and ideological and racial discrimination in particular. (Crowder sees Harvard as having discriminated against white and Asian students through its affirmative action policies, a matter which has been the subject of notable court cases.)For the most part Cr… Continue Reading »

'Everyone Here Is Very Optimistic' - Germans Are Increasingly Emigrating To Poland Authored by Remix News Staff via Remix, Nearly 5,000 Germans emigrated to Poland in 2025, outpacing the numbers who left for Britain, Italy or the Netherlands, according to new government data. Figures from Germany's Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) showed 4,941 people moved from Germany to Poland last year, the highest total since the coronavirus pandemic. At the same time, only 1,720 moved in the opposite direction. The resulting negative migration balance for Germany was highlighted by financial daily Handelsblatt reporter Christian Wermke, who asked: "Why are more and more Germans moving across the Oder? What exactly works better in the Polish economy than in Germany? And what could we learn from our eastern neighbor so as not to permanently lose skilled workers?" ???Poland features 5 amazing swimming pools just outside Kraków, in Zakrzówek.

UK Must Be Ready For War In 1,000 Days, Says British Defense Secretary Authored by Rachel Roberts via The Epoch Times,British Defense Secretary Wes Streeting has said the country must be ready for war in 1,000 days, after the government advised citizens to stock up on essential supplies. British Defense Secretary Wes Streeting (L) and U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth shake hands at the Pentagon in Arlington, Va., on Oct. 15, 2026. Finn Gomez/Getty Images Writing in the Telegraph over the weekend, Streeting warned that the UK's enemies could be ready to launch an attack on the UK by 2030.He wrote: "Our adversaries' willingness to harm us is not new. What has changed is their capacity. By 2030, their force strength and war economy could put them in a position to attack."That gives us a little over 1,000 days to complete our mission: to be ready with our allies to fight and win."Streeting said the danger may not come through conventional military action, warning that hybrid war tactics - such as disrupting technology or disinformation campaigns - also pose a threat.'Sabotage and Hostile Acts'"The gravest dangers of the 20th century ...

One Big Club Update: Judge Rules DOJ Unlawfully Fired Epstein Prosecutor Maurene Comey, Orders Her Reinstated A federal judge ruled Monday that the Justice Department unlawfully fired Maurene Comey, the former Manhattan federal prosecutor who worked on the Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell cases and the daughter of ex-FBI Director James Comey, and ordered her reinstated retroactively with back pay. Maureen Comey U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman, in a 55-page decision, found that her removal violated the Civil Service Reform Act and the constitutional separation of powers, CBS News reported. The back pay runs from her July 2025 firing through Dec. 20, 2025, when she accepted a different job.Furman rejected the government's central argument that the attorney general can fire a career prosecutor at will. He wrote that the administration was trying to "upend" long-settled case law allowing Congress to regulate the removal of inferior officers, called the Justice Department's position a "sweeping and unprecedented theory of executive authority," and warned that accepting it would "unsettle the very equilibrium" of the constitutional system.He also refused to let a later sign-off cure the firing. The administration said in May that then-Attorney General ... Continue Reading »

On Election Eve, Israeli Opposition Says Netanyahu Must Face Treason Probe On the eve of Israel's high pressure legislative elections, the explosive and provocative charge of "treason" is being thrown around.Former Israeli Finance Minister Avigdor Liberman on Monday called for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu be criminally investigated for the charge of treason, accusing him of fomenting a foreign war for the sole purpose of extending his and Likud's party's rule. via Flash90/TOI "This morning, I appealed to the Attorney General demanding the opening of a criminal investigation against Benjamin Netanyahu for the charge of treason," Liberman wrote on X."In the past month, Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has been pressuring the heads of the security establishment to take steps that could create a miscalculation vis-à-vis Iran."In essence, he's accusing Netanyahu was trying to drag Israel into a war just before the upcoming elections - not on legitimate national security grounds, but for personal political gain."The attempt to drag the State of Israel into war on the eve of elections, together with the willingness to sacrifice IDF soldiers solely due to fear of losing the elections, constitutes treason against the state, its security, ...

Ninth Circuit Upholds Block On Trump's Federalization Of California National Guard, Rejecting "Rebellion" Claim The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on October 23 affirmed a district court order blocking President Donald Trump's June 2025 federalization of 4,000 California National Guard troops for Los Angeles, ruling 2-1 that neither statute the administration relied on covered it. Sung's opinion, filed October 23, says the order "exceeded the President's statutory authority and encroached on Congress's calling forth power," which made it "ultra vires and unconstitutional." California National Guard members and Marines hold back demonstrators during a protest June 14, 2025, in Los Angeles. Sung, a Biden appointee, was joined by Judge Eric Miller, a Trump appointee, who wrote separately only to say the government forfeited its argument that no cause of action exists. Judge Mark Bennett, also a Trump nominee, dissented. Military.com reported that the Justice Department did not respond to its request for comment.The panel's own June 2025 stay order had found Trump likely acted within 10 U.S.C. § 12406(3), which lets a president federalize the Guard when he is "unable with the regular forces to execute the laws." That changed after ... Continue Reading »

Former Trump, Obama Advisers Jointly Urge Data Center Regulation Middle Ground Authored by Jeremy Lott via The Epoch Times,Former economic advisers from the Obama and Trump administrations have issued a roadmap for what they see as a way forward on future data center construction across America.Democrat Robert Wolf and Republican Stephen Moore pitched a "bipartisan framework" to navigate the current controversies surrounding AI data centers in a report released last week.They call for a middle ground approach based on federal guidelines that address five key areas, including ratepayer protection, energy security, environmental stewardship, transparency and community engagement, and local authority over land use."America should neither surrender data center development to a regulatory free-for-all nor freeze it through blanket moratoriums," the advisers say.Some aspects of their pitch are at odds with ideas that President Donald Trump has shared as he stumps for candidates around the country."The only reason that communities throughout the U.S.A. should not want Data Centers is if they want to end up being backwards and poor," Trump wrote in an Aug. 31 Truth Social post that the report highlights."If they want to be successful and rich, with ...

The Forgotten Trump Campaign Promise That Will Come Back To Haunt Republicans In The Midterms A mounting financial burden costing American families thousands of dollars a year is emerging as an overlooked issue in the 2026 midterm elections as new polling suggests that the expense of caring for aging relatives could influence voters in some of the nation's most competitive congressional races.While inflation, the Iran War and border security dominate the national debate, the growing cost of family caregiving has attracted comparatively little attention.An estimated 59 million Americans provide unpaid care for an adult relative, friend or neighbor, according to AARP. A recent Edward Jones study found that financial caregivers who are not fully reimbursed spend an average of $8,737 annually out of pocket, forcing difficult decisions about household budgets and long-term savings.The financial strain is also evident in retirement accounts. Research from the Employee Benefit Research Institute found that 34% of caregivers have less than $10,000 in savings and investments, compared with 25% of non-caregivers.Moreover, the AARP survey conducted across 43 competitive congressional districts found that 77% of likely voters age 50 and older said they would be ...

"Doomsday": U.S. Military Planning To Survive 90 Days Without Power Grid The Department of Defense is preparing for a potential "doomsday" scenario in which America's power grid collapses, supply chains grind to a halt, and military installations are forced to operate for three months without outside support, according to Fox News.The unprecetended plan, branded FORTRESS by Pentagon planners, aims to make major military bases across the continental United States capable of functioning independently for at least 90 days, according to documents obtained by the news outlet. U.S. Air Force airmen and civilian contractors prepare a containerized nuclear power reactor for airlift aboard a C-17 Globemaster III at March Air Reserve Base, California, Feb. 13, 2026. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Monique Bright) "We don't want to rely on standard civilian municipal infrastructure to run our national defense. We just simply can't. It's an intolerable risk," DoD spokesperson Sean Parnell said.The Pentagon is exploring portable nuclear reactors, massive battery installations, and independent microgrids that would allow bases to disconnect from civilian power systems during prolonged blackouts. Officials have long feared that the lose of electricity could cripple communications, logistics, weapons ... Continue Reading »

Netanyahu Says Iran May Try To Disrupt Israeli Election With Attacks Authored by Tom Ozimek via The Epoch Times,Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that Iran and its allies might try to disrupt Tuesday's elections in Israel with attacks, warning Tehran that Jerusalem would respond with overwhelming counterstrikes."We have intelligence signs that our enemies, Iran and its proxies, could challenge us with attacks in order to disrupt the elections," Netanyahu said in a video released by his office on Sunday."Don't test us. You will suffer disproportionate blows," he said, adding that the Israeli military was postured for defensive and offensive operations.Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei said on Monday it "makes no difference" who wins the Israeli election. At a press briefing in Tehran, he was asked about reports in Israeli media that Iran might launch a preemptive military strike to disrupt the vote."I do not think there are elections there in the true sense of the word," Baghaei said, according to Iranian state-run media IRNA. "It is a race among individuals, each trying to prove that they can commit more crimes, aggression, and killings than the others."Baghaei's remarks ... Continue Reading »

Can Undersea Volcanoes Power Cities? A Seattle Startup Just Took The First Step Authored by Haley Zaremba via OilPrice,A geothermal startup aiming to source energy directly from undersea volcanoes just hit a major milestone that could bring round-the-clock clean energy to cities on the northwest coast of the United States and serve as a critical proof of concept for other regions, with particular relevance for the other 14 countries situated along the Pacific Ring of Fire.Seattle-based energy startup Endurance Energy just announced that it successfully created net-positive energy from its underwater geothermal plant in a world first. The company successfully demonstrated a full operations cycle from drilling to electricity generation in a major breakthrough for next-gen clean energy tech. Although the demonstration created less than 10 seconds of positive energy production, the implications of those ten seconds are hard to overstate."On Sept. 27, we put a power plant on an active underwater volcano and made power," said Andrew Redd, founder and CEO of Endurance Energy. "This historic milestone is also our first end-to-end test. We now know, firsthand, what works at depth, what needs to be improved, and how ... Continue Reading »

Iran Braces For Nightmare Energy Crisis As Deepening Political Chaos Threatens To Boil Over Iran is facing a potentially crippling energy crisis as winter approaches, adding to mounting economic woes and political infighting that threaten to further destabilize the Islamic Republic. Photo: Reuters Iranian First Vice President Mohammadreza Aref warned on Monday that the government may be forced to restrict natural gas supplies to major consumers as temperatures plunge, according to the London-based and Saudi-funded Iran International. "We must maintain the stability of the gas network during the cold months so that cold and remote regions can be supplied," Aref reportedly said. The warning comes on the heels of Iranian lawmaker Hosseinali Haji Deligani demanding over the weekend that parliament move forward with impeachment proceedings against the foreign and agriculture ministers, blaming the senior officials for soaring food prices. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has also faced criticism from hardliners over his approach to negotiations with the United States, Iran International reports. The calls to oust senior officials are the latest sign of deepening divisions within the upper echelons of Iran's government over how to end the war with the U.S. Amid the growing political ...

Somaliland Accuses Ilhan Omar Of Leaking Classified Congressional Info To Somalia Authored by Catherine Salgado via PJ Media, Another day, another Omar scandal, another piece of evidence indicating foreign loyalties and domestic betrayal. AP Photo/Jim Mone Rep. Ilhan Omar's (D-Minn.) father participated in genocide in Somaliland, and Omar herself has connections to top Somali thugs, so unsurprisingly there is a natural antipathy between Omar and Somaliland. The latest (resurrected) accusation from the breakaway African republic against Omar is that she leaked classified information to Somali leaders. Ali Hassan Mohamed, former Somaliland minister of information, originally posted his accusation against Omar in 2024, but the @RepOfSomaliland account, which Somaliland's Foreign Ministry has said is not an official government channel, is highlighting the accusation again to emphasize why Omar is a threat to American security. This is not the first time that Ilhan Omar created animosity between Somalis. She was heavily involved in the conflict that took place in Las-anod. In December 2022, she visited Garowe, where she leaked information to some of the Somali leaders pertaining a meeting between the President of Somaliland and the Foreign Affairs Committee of the US Congress, which she was ...

Blanche Snaps At Dana Bash Over Alaska "January 6" Question As DOJ Defends Suit To Block Certification Attorney General Todd Blanche told CNN's Dana Bash on Sunday to "stop it" when she asked whether the Justice Department's Alaska Senate lawsuit is groundwork for overturning an election - insisting "We're not laying any 'groundwork' for the president to do that, so your premise, your question, is not true!" he said. Dana Bash asked Attorney General Todd Blanche if DOJ's Alaska lawsuit is groundwork for President Trump to "overturn the election," with a January 6th callback for good measure.

"Oh, stop it," Blanche answered. "You are not being a real person. Come on, man." Bash replied, "Why are you yelling at me?" and said she "would have said that 'before Jan. 6.'" Blanche called the question "crazy," and ... Continue Reading »

Trump Fires Another Salvo Into Israeli Politics As Netanyahu Neck-and-Neck With Gadi Eisenkot President Trump's public endorsement of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the upcoming elections in Israel was already unprecedented for a sitting American President when he first issued it on Oct.18. And so it is raising eyebrows that Trump has issued yet another full-throated statement endorsing him, just within 48 hours of the high stakes vote in Israel. Sunday night saw Trump put out a second statement, saying that the US and Israel need to "finish the job" against Iran. It comes amid reports Washington and Tel Aviv have been planning a round three major bombing campaign.  via Flash90 "To the people of Israel, to those who haven’t seen it, I am attaching the Endorsement I gave one week ago to your Prime Minister, Bibi Netanyahu. As everyone is aware, including the enemy, Bibi and I have had a great relationship in winning together," Trump wrote in a Truth Social post which actually borrows heavily from the original endorsement post. "I did the Venezuelan attack, one of the most successful military operations in history but, before that, we did Operation Midnight Hammer, stopping the ... Continue Reading »

"Defund Musk. I mean this," Reich told host Heather Lofthouse on The Coffee Klatch.

Rubio Urges Cubans To Partner With CIA To Bring Change To Communist Country Authored by Owen Evans via The Epoch Times, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio made a direct appeal to Cubans on Friday, encouraging them to partner with the CIA if they want to see change in the communist country. "To those who seek to create positive change in Cuba - now is the time," Rubio said in an Oct. 23 post on X. "The disappointment of failed promises, corruption, and the privileged lives of only a few; seize this opportunity to create the change you desire through a discrete partnership with the CIA." The CIA followed up Rubio's post on the same platform with the same message in Spanish and included instructions on how to contact the agency. It urged Cubans to use non-personal devices and VPNs. Cuban leader Miguel Diaz-Canel attends a rally in Havana on May 22, 2026. Norlys Perez/Reuters Cuban-born Rep. Carlos A. Gimenez (R-Fla.) said in a post on X that the Cuban regime must be "relegated to the ash heap of history."

Senators Say Trump Admin Is Illegally Sitting On Secret Court Ruling About Warrantless Spying Democrat Senators Ron Wyden and Adam Schiff say the Trump administration is illegally withholding a secret surveillance-court ruling that faulted how intelligence analysts search Americans' messages, while pressing Congress to renew the program the ruling covers. The two lawmakers laid out the charge in a demand letter first reported by WIRED. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court issued the opinion on March 17, according to Nextgov. It objected to search filters that let analysts pull Americans' communications out of intercepted data without the approvals, written justifications and records the law requires, WIRED reports, and then approved another year of Section 702 surveillance anyway. The law gives the government 180 days to review a ruling like this for public release. That window closed September 13. The administration's own guidance says the same. The senators want an explanation for the delay, and the names of the officials responsible, by November 6. "If this administration won't follow this simple statutory directive," they wrote to Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton and Attorney General Todd Blanche, "it is unclear why Congress or ...

Kunstler: "It's All A Giant Mind-F**k" Authored by James Howard Kunstler via Clusterfuck Nation, "We are also starting to consult federal workers on how to do some blocking inside the govt agencies during emergency situations - but please do not put that on the form." - Eric Manton, of the DRG They put it on the form, though, cuz somebody screwed up. Oopsie. . . . Color Revolution Ninja, the Lovely Danielle Reiff Get this: the reason that a color revolution is underway at all in America is not really political anymore - if it ever even was. It's because a whole lot of people have committed crimes against this country. And with each wave of attempted sedition, they have compounded their crimes with more seditious acts, arrant hoaxes, lawfare, election fraud, censorship, and wholesale looting of taxpayer dollars to keep themselves out of prison. That's what USAID was all about, and why it was taken down early in Trump 2.0. It was a nexus of racketeering and the home-base of the Deep State's foot soldiers, bureaucrats who actually managed the money streams to NGOs that ran everything from election rigging operations to vast ...
