Par AFP © 2026 AFP La Lazio Rome est revenue dimanche en tête du Championnat d'Italie, ex aequo avec l'Inter Milan, après sa démonstration de réalisme (3-0) sur le terrain de la Juventus Turin qui se rapproche d'une nouvelle crise.Après sept journées, la Lazio n'est plus une surprise, mais bien l'une des équipes sur lesquelles il faudra compter cette saison: les Biancocelesti ont empoché, comme l'Inter, 19 points sur 21 possibles, du jamais vu dans leur histoire à ce stade de la saison.Après l'ouverture du score par Oliver Provstgaard (37e), l'équipe de Gennaro Gattuso a souffert en seconde période, mais elle a mis KO la Juve sur deux de ses rares montées offensives, par Gustav Isaksen (66e) et Fisayo Dele-Bashiru (89e), qui ont mystifié la défense turinoise, bien statique.Le tonitruant début de saison de la Lazio surprend même ses tifosi. Le club romain, dont le recrutement estival était sévèrement encadré, vit depuis plusieurs mois au rythme de la guerre ouverte entre ses ultras qui boycottent ses matches à domicile et le président et propriétaire des Biancoceleste, Claudio Lotito, tandis que Gattuso restait sur un échec à la tête de la Nazionale, privée de son troisième Mondial de suite.Sortie ...

Par AFP © 2026 AFP Un militaire de 23 ans a été mis en examen et placé en détention provisoire pour violences et vol en réunion sur une personne vulnérable, soupçonné d'avoir agressé l'écrivain Jean-Christophe Rufin, a fait savoir dimanche la procureure de la République de Bourges.L'agression a eu lieu à Bourges le 15 octobre aux alentours de 23H00 devant le domicile de l'académicien, âgé de 74 ans, selon un communiqué de Céline Visiedo. Ce soir-là, trois individus se présentent au domicile d'un voisin de M. Rufin, "en état d'ébriété et en klaxonnant de manière très répétitive et intempestive", se garent à proximité et "mettent de la musique très forte tout en chantant et consommant des boissons alcoolisées". "Dans un contexte de nuisances sonores récurrentes depuis quelques mois", l'écrivain descend de chez lui pour demander aux individus de cesser ce bruit et photographie la plaque d'immatriculation du véhicule. Le conducteur, "agressif verbalement", l'enjoint de ne pas filmer sa voiture, selon le parquet.Alors qu'il tente de rejoindre son domicile, il est "rattrapé par le propriétaire du véhicule" qui selon la victime, le bouscule dans le dos, "entrainant sa chute".

But now Roethler laments an economy in which "it's the middle-class families that are taking the big hit" while Trump is "going to come out way ahead." He scoffs at the Republican president's effort to win accolades such as the Nobel Peace Prize or a spot on Mount Rushmore. Continue Reading »

Pornography that depicts strangulation and incestuous relationships will be banned in England and Wales from early November, the government has announced. The content will be outlawed from 6 November after cross-party pressure prompted ministers to announce new legislation earlier this year. Continue Reading »

In 1964, US Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart struggled to define hardcore pornography, eventually settling on his infamous test: "I know it when I see it." Over 60 years later, the Labour Party has come up with its own addendum: we know it's disgusting, so we're banning it. From November, new offences will criminalise the possession and publication of certain pornographic material depicting strangulation, incest and adults pretending to be children. Ministers will no doubt congratulate themselves on another victory for safeguarding, but banning something unpopular is easy. Drawing a clear line between what is criminal and what isn't, enforcing it fairly, and dealing with the inevitable mistakes are considerably harder. Continue Reading »

Pimco Sees A 6% 10-Year... Here's Why "Bad Inflation" Caps Yields Authored by Lance Roberts via RealInvestmentAdvice.com, Will interest rates go up to 6%? That's the question on many investors' minds since Pimco's chief investment officer, Dan Ivascyn, told the Financial Times last Friday that a 6% 10-year Treasury yield is "certainly possible." This week's hotter-than-expected September CPI report only added fuel to that argument. I get it. The 10-year closed at 5.31% on October 5, the highest close since May 2002. It started the year at 4.18%. However, look at what is actually driving inflation. Then look at how every major yield spike since 1990 ended. The case for a sustained move to 6% gets thin quickly. Pimco's 6% Call, And Why It Landed In case you didn't read the article, let's start with what Ivascyn actually said, because the headlines compressed it. He did not forecast 6%. He said it was possible, and he tied a big part of the recent move to market plumbing rather than economics. "It is certainly possible, even from a short-term trading perspective... some of the activity we've seen in the last couple of weeks is tied ... Continue Reading »

Canadian Government Threatens To Punish Steel Maker Over Tariff Layoffs The fundamental nature of socialist economics is to use governments to rig markets in favor of certain groups and outcomes.  Canada has been exploiting this dynamic for decades (along with their proximity to the largest consumer market in the world), in order to secure optimal benefit for their GDP and their liberal leadership.  US tariffs, love them or hate them, are one of the few mechanisms available to level the playing field against countries (and corporations) that abuse global trade.  Rather than admitting that the jig is up and accepting that trading with the US is going to require more balanced arrangements from now on, the Mark Carney Administration has decided that Canada is entitled to special privileges when engaging in commerce with America.  If they can't have unfair advantages, then they will go to war with the US instead.  It sounds like madness given that Canada relies on the US for over 76% of their export sales, and exports are over 30% of Canada's total GDP.   Meanwhile, the US only sells 16% of its exports in Canada, and exports make ...

"I Want That Deterrence Message": Michigan Dem Slotkin Wants To Prosecute Trump Admin To Scare Off Young Conservatives Authored by Jonathan Turley via JonathanTurley.org, This election, Democrats have careened to the far left with calls to pack the Supreme Court, unleash a flurry of impeachments, and investigate Republicans. Few, however, have been as honest as Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D., Mich.) about the purpose of such threats. Slotkin recently said the quiet part out loud in an interview at my alma mater, the University of Chicago, admitting she wants to deter young people from even considering supporting the Administration... if they know what is good for them. Slotkin seemed to go full Col. Walter Kurtz in the middle of the interview. The Chicago Thinker, an outstanding student newspaper at UChicago, posted an interview with Slotkin, in which she describes the strategy to deter young Republicans from getting involved in government, at least in supporting the Administration. Like many of her Democratic colleagues, Slotkin is promising that, if Democrats are given back control of Congress, they will unleash a tsunami of investigations of Republicans supporting President Trump: In the clip of the exchange circulated ...

Two Decades Of Mass Financial Delusion Ends Now Submitted by QTR's Fringe Finance Friday’s selloff was not a surprise. Between deteriorating credit markets, rising Treasury yields, increasingly absurd artificial intelligence valuations, enormous amounts of leverage and an entire financial system that has spent the better part of two decades mainlining cheap money like a frat guy guzzling Jaegermeister at the bottom of an ice luge, the warning signs have been flashing for quite some time. The only real surprise, at least to me, is that it’s taken this long for equity investors to begin paying attention. And what worries me most isn’t how far stocks could fall, but how spectacularly unprepared investors are to deal with a market that actually goes down and stays down. I want to start with something I read on CNBC this morning, because I think it perfectly encapsulates the extraordinary complacency and all around ignorance that exists on Wall Street. Discussing whether increased debt issuance could become a systemic problem, Michael Rosen, chief investment officer at Angeles, offered the following assessment: “The question is: Is this a systemic issue? Obviously, increased debt issuance is something to observe and continue ... Continue Reading »

NRC Backs Fermi's Four Texas Reactors Fermi America's nuclear plans just cleared their first regulatory hurdle. NRC staff have preliminarily recommended issuing combined licenses for four Westinghouse AP1000 reactors at Project Matador, Fermi's planned power and AI campus outside Amarillo, Texas, according to a draft environmental impact statement the agency put out for comment on October 9th. Together, the four units would add over 4.4 GW of nuclear generation capacity to the private grid. It took 15 months from application, and Fermi wrote the draft itself as the first test of an NRC pilot that lets applicants prepare their own environmental reviews under staff supervision. The agency expects that to cut its in-house review time by about half. The NRC is targeting a final version in December. The harder part is the safety review, which has no schedule yet. Fermi pulled the site-specific portion of its application and plans to refile it by Dec. 31, and a mandatory hearing and Commission vote come after that.  Fermi wants its first reactor running by 2032, meaning the NRC is far from the company's problem. Last November, we warned that storm clouds were gathering as Fermi struggled to ... Continue Reading »

The Left's Rank Hypocrisy On 'Socialist Influencers' Authored by Thaddeus G. McCotter via American Greatness, Far-left candidates court socialist influencers in primaries, then pivot to the center for the general election... If memory serves me, while serving in Congress amidst a heated midterm battle in the mid-2000s, I made a cable television appearance where I was asked an "ambush" question. Well, it wasn't quite an ambush question, because the station in question was left-wing; hence, the anchor's Pavlovian parroting of the Democrat talking point du jour was really no surprise. The question was something along the lines of "Does every Republican blindly listen to Rush?" "Who doesn't love a Canadian power rock trio?" I replied. My interrogator was nonplussed. I elaborated, "Though I do prefer Triumph." In truth, the Rush in question was actually Mr. Limbaugh, who was at the height of his renown. Looking for an issue, the Democrats trotted out the canard that Republicans didn't work for their constituents but were in the thrall of a radio show host, following his dictates heedless of what the public wanted. The Democrats' strategy quickly petered out, largely because Mr. Limbaugh's pro-American and commonsensical views ... Continue Reading »

"Replacing Europe": Undercover Film Follows The Money Behind Europe's Taxpayer-Funded Mass Migration Pipeline A new documentary from investigative outlet Muckraker traces the migrant route from West Africa through Spain and France to Britain, examining what the outlet describes as a network sustained by taxpayer-funded aid programs, NGOs, and even Western governments. The 47-minute film, "Replacing Europe," draws on months of reporting and undercover footage to investigate the logistics and top NGO players behind the nation-killing mass migration into Europe.  "The entire migration is a game," says Sheikh M. Kromah, identified by Muckraker as a worker for the UN's International Organization for Migration. He alleges that Spain has a financial incentive to maintain arrivals because reducing them could jeopardize EU funding. Muckraker claims that publicly funded institutions help sustain the migration flows that European governments publicly promise to control. Its interviews raise questions about oversight, spending incentives and the boundary between humanitarian assistance and facilitating illegal alien border crossings into Europe.  The broader concern is whether mass migration, malassimilation, and soaring public costs of the European welfare state that cater to migrants could compound fiscal pressure and political instability.  Here is Muckraker's report: A UN migration worker admits Spain won't stop the ...

France Enters "Point Of No Return" As Riots And Chaos Spread President Trump said, "France is burning!" on Truth Social early this morning, as what appears to be the fall of France quickly unfolds. Consumed by nation-killing Third Worldism through a decade of unfettered mass migration and a cancerous far-left movement, the nation is on a troubling trajectory as its imploding welfare state collides with a fiscal mess. Riots across France today. Looting, fires, vandalism and attacks against policemen and firefighters reported from cities across the country. https://t.co/ZpVnuXTvC3 — Visegrád 24 (@visegrad24) October 17, 2026 "The immigration of people from an entirely different world, people with hatred in their hearts, has shattered that once great country. Close your Borders and take control, before it is too late!" Trump continued. Vice President JD Vance responded to the accelerating far-left violence on X, saying, "Western liberals imported the third world into France and other countries in the name of diversity and compassion. They ignored fundamental questions of assimilation and compatibility. They were told it would lead to this and they didn't listen." Western liberals imported the third world into France and other countries in the name ... Continue Reading »

Army Chief Warns Britons Must Make Sacrifices For Coming War Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news, General Sir Roly Walker, Chief of the Army General Staff in the UK, has declared that Britons will be required to make sacrifices for their country in a coming war. He addressed around 700 soldiers at Catterick Garrison and laid out the coming reality in plain terms. "You didn't know this, but our nation is going to need you," he said. "There was a time that our nation didn't want to think of a time when it would need its soldiers to fight in a war. Indeed, very soon, the political leaders of this country will start to have a frank conversation with the citizens of this country about just what is going on and where the risk lies." He continued that citizens "have got to consent to sacrifices to prioritise defence and security" and that they will be asked "to play a part in the defence and security of this country." Ultimately, he said, the public must "back us, to back you to do the one thing that you do that nobody else gets to ... Continue Reading »

Live-Fire Drill Sparks Massive Gas Explosion At Canadian Base, Killing 7 A live-fire training exercise at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright in Alberta reportedly ended in a major explosion and wildfire Saturday, leaving at least seven people dead and dozens injured, according to local outlet Global News.  The report said a projectile was fired during the FTX that struck "a gas line or gas well" within the base's training area, triggering an explosion before strong winds spread the fire.  🇨🇦 At least 7 killed, dozens injured at Canadian army base after live-fire exercise hits gas well An explosion and fire tore through CFB Wainwright in Alberta, the Canadian army's main live-fire training base, on Saturday afternoon. Multiple military sources told Global News that at least seven people were killed and dozens injured. Local social media accounts claim over 100 injured. According to the same sources, a live-fire exercise struck a gas line or gas well on the range, triggering the blast. The base has had gas wells and pipelines running through its training area since the late 1980s. Strong winds pushed the fire past the base fence into the surrounding countryside, and NASA ...

Here's Where Germany's 17 Million Immigrants Come From Germany is one of the world's largest destinations for international migrants, shaped by decades of labor migration, European mobility, and more recent refugee arrivals. This graphic, via Visual Capitalist's Srijaa Chatterjee, uses UN international migrant stock data compiled by Our World in Data and analysis from DataPulse Research to show where Germany's foreign-born residents originated and where German-born emigrants live. The figures represent people living outside their country of birth, rather than annual migration flows. Where Germany's Immigrants Come From The table below ranks the largest countries of origin for Germany's foreign-born population, based on data compiled by Our World in Data. Rank Country of Origin Share (%) 1 🇵🇱 Poland 11.0 2 🇹🇷 Türkiye 9.0 3 🇺🇦 Ukraine 8.5 4 🇷🇺 Russia 6.8 5 🇷🇴 Romania 5.8 6 🇰🇿 Kazakhstan 5.4 7 🇸🇾 Syria 5.1 8 🇮🇹 Italy 2.6 9 🇦🇫 Afghanistan 2.1 10 🇨🇿 Czech Republic 2.1 Poland accounts for 11% of Germany's foreign-born population, followed by Türkiye at 9% and Ukraine at 8.5%. These populations reflect several migration waves, including postwar labor recruitment, EU labor mobility, and more recent humanitarian migration from Ukraine and Syria. Germany's broader migration footprint extends beyond its foreign-born population. In 2025, 21.8 million residents, or 26.3% of the population, had an "immigration history," meaning they had immigrated themselves or both parents had immigrated. ... Continue Reading »

Nine Days From The Dark: What Sixty Million People Learned About Water, Warmth, And Medicine During Spain's Ten-Hour Blackout Authored by John Walter via Substack, At 12:33 on the afternoon of 28 April 2025, mainland Spain and Portugal lost their electricity supply. Red Eléctrica de España, the Spanish transmission operator, logged the loss of about fifteen gigawatts of generation - close to sixty per cent of Spanish demand at that moment - within seconds. Supply was interrupted for roughly ten hours across most of the peninsula and longer in some districts, affecting an estimated sixty million people. Trains stopped between stations, payment terminals froze, mobile service thinned as tower batteries drained, and water pressure sagged in elevated neighbourhoods. The final report from ENTSO-E, the European network of transmission operators, published on 20 March 2026, attributed the event to a combination of technical factors and successive generation disconnections rather than to a single fault. Nothing had attacked the Iberian grid, which is part of why the afternoon deserves to be remembered. Every serious rehearsal the industry runs assumes something worse. Since then the system has not become more forgiving. On 4 May 2026, ... Continue Reading »

US Quietly Shifts MQ-9 Reapers Into South America South America's rightward shift has created a more favorable environment for the Trump administration to expand its influence across the Western Hemisphere. A victory by right-wing Flávio Bolsonaro over unhinged socialist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in Brazil's runoff election later this month would cement the shift across the continent.  The next test is whether those political gains translate into deeper trade and military cooperation. On the military side, those partnerships are expanding in the war against narcoterrorists.  Joint military activity has already broadened this year, and the reported transfer of US MQ-9 Reaper drones to Colombia and Ecuador suggests preparations for a broader campaign, according to The New York Times.  🚨🇺🇸 EL PENTÁGONO MUEVE SU MAQUINARIA LETAL Llegaron a Colombia y Ecuador los drones de ataque MQ-9 Reaper.

Migration Has Cost German Taxpayers At Least €400 Billion Since 2016 Authored by - Remix News Staff - via Remix News, Germany's migration and asylum policies have cost the state at least €400 billion, according to calculations by Welt journalist Björn Harms. Other estimates have gone far higher, including into the trillions, when broader follow-on effects of migration are included. These massive figure will only add to the growing debate about mass immigration into high social-welfare countries like Germany. As for the data, much of it comes directly from the German government, according to Welt. The federal government alone recorded over €242 billion in "refugee-related expenditures" from 2016 to 2025. Official figures from Bundestag reports and the Federal Ministry of Finance confirm the annual totals. If this is broken down by year, it shows €20.1 billion in 2016, rising to peaks of €28.3 billion in 2022 and €29.6 billion in 2023, then €28 billion in 2024 and €24.8 billion in 2025. The sum over ten years is €242.5 billion, representing roughly 5.8 percent of total federal budget outlays over the period. These cover social transfers after asylum procedures, integration measures, payments to states ... Continue Reading »

Watergate, A Hoax? Authored by Silvio Canto, Jr. via American Thinker, If you are a baby boomer, you remember The Beatles, Henry Aaron hitting #715, and President Nixon resigning over Watergate. It was our soundtrack, as they like to say. It gave us words like "Nixonian" and "The Saturday Night Massacre" and Oval Office tapes. It turned the 37th president into an evil man, and everyone took a shot at him. Even the GOP took down his pictures at the party's convention. As someone who admired President Nixon, bought and read all of his post presidency books, and volunteered as a student for his 1972 reelection campaign, I do believe that revisiting Watergate is a good idea. Maybe The Washington Post will end up returning that Pulitzer? Don't bet on that, but who knows? What if Watergate was a hoax, as we say these days? Honestly, after watching Russiagate, the New York trials, and everything else, the idea is not so crazy. I'm not ready to call it a hoax yet, but I'm open to a conversation, as they say these days. Well, some people think so, such as John D. O'Connor: Many citizens ... Continue Reading »

US Firms Account For 75% Of Chips Powering Russia's New Jet Drone Building on our earlier notes mapping out the supply chain behind the Russian one-way attack drone, a new report from a Ukrainian defense news outlet claims that a whopping "three-quarters of the Geran-4's onboard computer consists of electronic components manufactured by American companies." Militarnyi's supply-chain intelligence investigation into Russian Geran-4 drones identified 80 components from US companies among 105 cataloged parts, suggesting how heavily Russia relies on foreign technology despite severe sanctions from Western governments. An engineering unit with Ukraine's 1230th Athena Engineering and Technical Regiment examined the chips, recovered from recent Geran-4 drone wreckage with most internal components intact, allowing investigators to inspect markings and serial numbers to identify manufacturers. Here's what they found: After comparing board descriptions and manufacturer lists, the researcher was able to identify 105 electronic components. Of these, at least 80 are from American companies, accounting for 76.19% of the total. Countries are determined based on the parent company's place of registration. Under this approach, Intersil components are classified as products of the Japanese company Renesas, while Zetex components are classified as products of the American ... Continue Reading »

The Biggest Winners And Losers From The Petrodollar's Decline Authored by Nick Giambruno via InternationalMan.com, The Iran war is straining US weapons stockpiles and raising doubts about Washington's ability to protect the Persian Gulf. If that weakens the petrodollar and pushes oil producers away from the US financial system, two assets face clear headwinds: the US dollar and US Treasuries. The petrodollar system helped create structural demand for both. If oil exporters sell more energy outside the dollar system, fewer oil dollars need to flow back through Wall Street and into Treasury securities. At the same time, the US government needs to borrow staggering sums to finance its deficits, military commitments, entitlement programs, and interest expense. That means rising supply of Treasuries could collide with weakening structural demand. Watch the 10-year Treasury yield. The 10-year Treasury yield is perhaps the most important financial benchmark in the global fiat system, as it drives valuations and market trends worldwide. It is widely - and erroneously - regarded as the risk-free rate of return. The 10-year Treasury yield can be thought of as a key barometer of the US dollar-based fiat system - a critical measure akin to its beating heart. Bond ... Continue Reading »

How I Stopped Worrying, And Learned To Love Data Centers Authored by Norm Singleton via RealClearMarkets, During this time of increased political polarization, it is good to know that there is one issue uniting Trump-loving MAGA Republicans, Bernie Sanders-style Democratic Socialists, and everyone in between: opposition to data centers, especially large data centers built for artificial intelligence (AI). Part of the opposition stems from the public's increasing skepticism of AI. An even larger part is generated by concerns over how AI will drive up electricity costs for those living close to the centers, as well as the high amount of water necessary to run the centers. Many data center critics ignore the fact that these kinds of facilities have been around for years. As the name suggests, data centers are buildings (or centers) that house the infrastructure and data necessary for the operations of digital services such as the cloud. The typical data center includes servers, switches, routers, and fiber optic cables. These data centers make it possible for individuals to use their phones,and tablets to store and share their photos, messages, and documents, as well as to download and use ... Continue Reading »

Netflix Boots Content Chief As Viewership Sags Netflix shares are locked in a bear market, down nearly 25% year-to-date, as the platform's viewership growth has slowed and recent shows have seen troubling audience declines in their second seasons. Bloomberg reports that chief creative officer Bela Bajaria has been abruptly booted and is set to be replaced later this month by veteran entertainment executive Peter Rice. Rice, a former senior executive at Walt Disney and 21st Century Fox, will take the reins on October 26 and oversee scripted and unscripted series, films, and live events worldwide. Bajaria's exit comes after more than ten years at the streaming platform, where she was head of global TV from November 2016 to January 2023, then chief content officer until now. What's notable during that time is that Netflix first snuck woke propaganda into its shows and movies, and that subtle agenda became very overt as the left-wing messaging failed to resonate with a majority of Americans. The leadership change follows Wednesday's announcement of roughly 1,000 job cuts, equivalent to 6% of the workforce. Netflix has surpassed 325 million subscribers globally but faces slowing audience and revenue growth. "Losing Bela ... Continue Reading »

5 Challenges Facing South America's Copper Boom Authored by Charles Kennedy via OilPrice.com, Escondida supervisors, about 1,020 workers at the world’s largest copper mine, said they would strike at 8 a.m. local time Wednesday, a week after workers walked out at Centinela. Chile’s August copper output fell 12.8% to 369,500 tons, the lowest monthly total since February 2011, and a fatal landslide hit Codelco’s El Teniente on Sunday. The IEA still sees primary copper supply about 25% short of requirements by 2035, while Peru targets $33 billion in mining investment and Argentina’s Vicuña aims for a final investment decision by year-end. Supervisors at BHP's Escondida, the world's largest copper mine, said they would strike at 8 a.m. local time Wednesday after government-led mediation failed to produce a contract. The union represents about 1,020 workers at a mine that supplies roughly a quarter of Chile's copper, and the stoppage follows a walkout at Antofagasta's Centinela that began Oct. 7. Both land as governments across the Andes ask miners for far more copper, not less. Demand will not wait S&P Global projects that copper demand will climb from 28 million metric tons in 2025 to 42 million ... Continue Reading »
