Par AFP Par Moisés ÁVILA, avec Charlotte CAUSIT à Washington © 2026 AFP A seulement 37 ans, le démocrate James Talarico a réalisé mardi un véritable tour de force en remportant le siège de sénateur en jeu au Texas, faisant ainsi basculer à gauche ce bastion du conservatisme américain jusqu'alors acquis à Donald Trump.Dans ce territoire pétrolier et agricole, où le port d'armes est profondément ancré dans la culture locale et où le milliardaire républicain avait gagné avec 14 points d'avance en 2024, les démocrates n'avaient plus remporté d'élection à l'échelle de l'État depuis plus de 30 ans."Ce soir, nous avons battu Goliath", a lancé ce séminariste presbytérien dans un discours de victoire ponctué de références bibliques et d'appels à l'unité. Sa victoire contre Ken Paxton, procureur général de l'État et proche allié de Donald Trump, s'impose déjà comme l'une des plus significatives du scrutin, dont les dépouillements sont toujours en cours.D'autant qu'elle a été rapidement doublée de l'élection de la démocrate Gina Hinojosa au poste de gouverneure. A l'annonce de ces résultats par plusieurs médias américains, des milliers d'électeurs réunis dans un théâtre d'Austin, la capitale du Texas, ont explosé de joie."C'est une immense victoire pour le Texas ...

Par AFP Par Baptiste DEDIEU © 2026 AFP Passé totalement à côté du derby du Nord face à Lille, Lens a l'occasion de rebondir dès mercredi face à Côme (21h00) en Ligue des champions, dans une phase de ligue où les Sang et Or ont besoin de points."Il ne faut pas laisser le doute s'installer", a réagi l'entraîneur lensois Yannick Cahuzac vendredi soir. Et pour cause : si les Artésiens se sont inclinés d'un petit but face au Losc (1-0), inscrit en toute fin de match par Olivier Giroud, ils ont livré une prestation très éloignée de leurs standards des dernières semaines. Même Florian Thauvin, souvent étincelant depuis le début de la saison, est passé à côté."Il nous a manqué de l'agressivité, mais je pense qu'il nous a surtout manqué beaucoup de personnalité avec le ballon. On a été défaillant dans l'utilisation du ballon, on a eu beaucoup de déchet technique, on a manqué de personnalité dans le fait de proposer, d'essayer de jouer. On a travaillé sur cet axe-là pour avancer", a souligné Cahuzac mardi en conférence de presse.Fort heureusement pour eux, les Lensois ont l'occasion de se "remettre dans le droit chemin" dès mercredi en Ligue des ...

Par AFP © 2026 AFP L'influente soeur du dirigeant nord-coréen Kim Jong Un, Kim Yo Jong, a affirmé mercredi que Pyongyang n'avait "aucune raison" de revenir au dialogue avec des Etats-Unis "hostiles", éloignant la possibilité d'un sommet entre son frère et Donald Trump.La Corée du Nord a par ailleurs tiré ce même jour plusieurs missiles dans la mer du Japon, depuis la région de Sondok (est), selon l'état-major interarmées sud-coréen (JCS)."Dans la réalité actuelle, où de nouveaux records sont établis dans la mise en œuvre de la politique hostile des États-Unis à l'égard de la RPDC (la Corée du Nord, ndlr), il est naturel que de nouveaux records soient également établis dans notre contre-offensive de riposte", a déclaré Mme Kim, citée par l'agence officielle KCNA."Il est clair, pour nous, que nous n'avons aucune raison de nous asseoir face à des personnes aussi peu fiables et hostiles, qui refusent d'abandonner leur politique de confrontation tout en parlant de dialogue", a-t-elle affirmé."Le choix de la paix passe bien sûr pas le dialogue mais, pour nous, ce n'est certainement pas synonyme d'intérêt national", a ajouté Kim Yo Jong.Les spéculations autour d'une reprise des discussions allaient pourtant bon train après un nouvel ...

Par AFP Par Aurélia END © 2026 AFP Donald Trump a dit mardi qu'il "acceptait" le résultat des élections de mi-mandat, qui voient une vague démocrate déferler sur le pays, mais refuse d'en assumer la responsabilité."Je suis tout à fait disposé à accepter ces résultats", a-t-il déclaré au New York Times. "Nous travaillerons avec les démocrates."Sur ce même ton conciliant, il a même "félicité" plusieurs fois ses opposants pendant un long entretien téléphonique avec Fox News, jugeant qu'ils s'étaient "bien battus" - mais en rappelant tout de même avec insistance qu'il avait un "pouvoir de veto" face aux lois que voterait un Congrès démocrate.S'il a reconnu que la très impopulaire guerre contre l'Iran avait pesé "en partie" sur les résultats, il a jugé que "les gens comprenaient l'importance" de ce qu'il avait fait en déclenchant le conflit.Face à l'ampleur des gains de l'opposition, qui a pris le contrôle de tout le Congrès, en l'emportant dans des bastions conservateurs tels que le Texas ou le Kansas, le républicain n'entend donc pas contester le verdict des urnes. Cela n'était pas acquis, venant de celui qui refuse toujours de reconnaître sa défaite à la présidentielle de 2020, et qui avait lancé des ... Continue Reading »

But St. Mary Catholic Parish and the Archdiocese of Denver argue that the policy is based on religious teachings about same-sex marriage and that excluding them violates their free-exercise rights.

Under pressure from Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Trump administration may be within days of launching a nuclear strike on Iran. The target would be Pickax Mountain in central Iran, where Israeli intelligence claims the Iranian government has restarted its nuclear enrichment program. No conventional weapon in the American arsenal can penetrate 300 feet of solid granite to destroy the tunnels where enrichment is supposedly taking place. The only military option is a nuclear strike. Netanyahu has been pushing hard for one. "Bibi calls Trump about it every day," says an informed observer. Continue Reading »

Number Of 'Tolerated' Migrants In Germany Rises To Over 200,000 Authored by Remix News Staff via Remix News,The number of migrants living in Germany under temporary tolerated status has risen again after several years of decline, reaching 200,601 at the end of September, according to government figures. Right-wing groups protest against government immigration policy and demand the deportation of immigrants in Solingen, Germany, on August 26, 2024, after a knife attack at the Solingen festival. (Photo by Ying Tang/NurPhoto via Getty Images) More than 256,000 people were obliged to leave the country at the same point, with the large majority unable to be deported for practical or legal reasons.People with a "Duldung" - a formal suspension of deportation - remain obliged to leave Germany but cannot currently be removed, for example because of missing travel documents, family ties, illness, or other obstacles. The status is always temporary and can be extended.At the end of 2025, 190,974 of 232,067 people obliged to leave held such status. By the end of 2022 the figure had been about 248,000. Roughly 45,000 people received tolerated status for the first time in 2026, including about 13,460 ... Continue Reading »

Why Leftists Won't Let Us Live Authored by J.B. Shurk via American Thinker,Why must leftists conquer entire nations? Why do they get so angry at anyone who resists their ideology? Why can't they just build a new nation filled entirely with fellow leftists?It really shouldn't be this difficult for Marxist-socialists, communists, "green energy" fanatics, "diversity, inclusion, and equity" cultists, and bureaucracy-worshiping globalists to build a regulatory paradise based on the "woke" commandments of their secular faith.There are more than enough power-hungry leftist politicians in the European Union, the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States to construct the all-powerful central government that they desire. Career bureaucrats in the U.S. have filled the administrative state with so many sub-agencies, boards, working groups, and miscellaneous programs that nobody in Congress could create an organizational chart accurately diagramming the bureaucratic blob. The European Union - a supranational shrine to bloated bureaucratic incompetence - has so many committees within its ranks that there are surely a dozen such committees studying why the Union has so many committees!There are more than enough lefty billionaires - including George Soros, Bill Gates, Neville Roy Singham, Michael ...

Israeli Intelligence Tells US That Iran Could Use Chemical Weapons In something that sounds straight out of the Babylong Bee, the Israeli government has shared intelligence with the United States asserting that Iran is readying chemical weapons to use against adversaries.And all of this is being floated in the pages of the New York Times, and on election day no less... A more on the nose script couldn't be written - very much like this one... AFP/Getty Images Apparently fully aware of this, the NY Times story authors underscore in their Tuesday afternoon headline that "Israeli Claims of Iranian Chemical Weapons Divide U.S. Officials."This is given that the information was "met with alarm by some American officials and deep skepticism by others, according to U.S. and regional officials."Stating the obvious: "Some American officials see the Israeli intelligence as part of a pressure campaign by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government to persuade the Trump administration to return to major combat operations against Iran."However, "Other officials believe the threats should be taken seriously, given the recent array of warnings about Iran’s preparations to attack American interests."And the Gulf allies are skeptical for all ...

Conservative Canadian MP Says His Father Was Offered Euthanasia Unprompted Authored by Matthew Horwood via The Epoch Times,Conservative MP Bob Zimmer said his father was offered medical assistance in dying (MAID) toward the end of his life without asking for it, prompting the MP to question whether safeguards for the procedure are being followed.Zimmer said on X that his family was preparing to bring his father home from the hospital, as he "was about to pass away and he wanted to be at home to be more comfortable."I watched a nurse at our local hospital offer MAID to my Dad.He was not asking for it, nor had he asked for it.We were trying to get him home as he was about to pass away and he wanted to be at home to be more comfortable.So while we were waiting to be cleared to take him... https://t.co/uKSj8GWI8E— Bob Zimmer (@bobzimmermp) November 1, 2026While they were waiting, a nurse "approached us and offered MAID to him," despite his father having not asked for the procedure, the MP for B.C.'s Prince George - Peace River - Northern Rockies riding said."I was disgusted. ...

The AI Arms Race Goes To Orbit, And The Night Sky Is Collateral Damage If built as filed with the FCC (by SpaceX, Blue Origin and Cowboy Space), the number of orbital data centers could, if left unmitigated, put roughly 100 times more visible satellites than stars in the night sky at some hours, according to a preprint by astronomers Aaron Boley, Samantha Lawler and Hanno Rein.The paper, "Rings in the Sky," models three designs taken from company filings which suggest Blue Origin's Sunrise would be up to 51,600 satellites, Cowboy Space's Stampede 20,000, and SpaceX's constellation, which its filing describes as 1 million satellites, about 1.2 million once the orbits listed in a later update are added. Because the filings give only narratives and a few representative orbits, the authors fill in the rest with their own assumptions.The satellites are big... and droppy. SpaceX told the FCC its data center satellites would present about 800 square meters of area, counting radiators and solar panels. Cowboy's sketch implies a solar array of about 4,800 square meters, more than double the roughly 2,250 square meters on the International Space Station. At 30 ... Continue Reading »

The Demise Of The Multigenerational Household Authored by Jeffrey A. Tucker via The Epoch Times,As readers know by now, my favorite television show was made in the 1970s. It is called "The Waltons." It's about the experiences of one Virginia household in the Great Depression and how they found the good life not through money and prosperity but family, love, and a stable home on the land. It's such an inspiration. Every episode offers an interesting life lesson of some sort and reinforces the values that made this country great.You might not notice at first, but one unusual aspect is that this show features a multigenerational household. The father's father and his wife live in the house with their seven grandchildren. The grandfather helps daily in the family business of lumber harvested from their own land. And the grandmother helps with all household chores of cooking, cleaning, laundry, plus dishes out wisdom at every turn. The grandparents provide an essential element of stability.This model of living was not unusual at the time. It was a pattern. My grandparents on both sides of my family lived this way as children ... Continue Reading »

The SPLC Questions Its Former Informant, But What Did It Believe When It Paid Him? Authored by David Manney via PJ Media,The Southern Poverty Law Center has discovered a problem with paid informants. It has financial motives, personal grudges, and reasons to tell their handlers what they want to hear. An organization that pays for intelligence ought to understand those hazards before the invoices arrive.Now its lawyers are asking a federal court to scrutinize F-9, the organization's longest-contracted informant, who later began cooperating with investigators examining the SPLC. Their October 28 motion alleges bias and selective disclosure and seeks preservation of his records and permission to subpoena them.The government's primary informant in this case was the Southern Poverty Law Center's longest-contracted informant, F-9. His work in the program was almost certainly the most rewarding role F-9 ever had, both financially and professionally. Apparently, F-9 chose not to pay taxes on his income for 30 years. In addition, while contracting as an SPLC informant, F-9 started a meaningful personal relationship.But between December 2021 and July 2023, everything changed. In that timeframe, F-9 learned his income from the SPLC would be ... Continue Reading »

Political Betting Slumps On Prediction Markets As Crypto And Sports Boom Americans head to the voting booths today with Democrats favored to take control of both the House and Senate according to mainstream polls and prediction markets. Attention has shifted to prediction markets, where the implied probability of a Democratic sweep stands at roughly 75%, down slightly from 78% earlier this morning.The attention on prediction markets over the last few years has not translated into stronger midterm trading. Bloomberg's report from earlier today shows political trading on these platforms has struggled, even as sports and crypto betting have jumped. Election-related turnover on Kalshi was roughly unchanged in the final week before the midterms compared with the same period before the 2024 presidential election. Polymarket's election volume fell significantly. Meanwhile, overall trading across both betting platforms has increased more than twentyfold since October 2024, which may suggest users are more interested in crypto and sports bets than political outcomes.The Bloomberg report cited data from last month showing that political betting on Kalshi and Polymarket accounted for just 1% of trading, down from two-thirds during the 2024 presidential election."Limited trading interest ...

New Jersey Governor Bans "Illegal Russian Fuel" Inbound To Ports New Jersey Democratic Governor Mikie Sherrill warned port and terminal operators in the state against "purchasing or unloading the illegal Russian fuel currently bound for the east coast of the United States." Sherrill's move threatens to complicate President Trump's efforts to bring Russian diesel into US markets to ease high industrial fuel prices amid a severe global refining squeeze fueled by Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian refineries and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz.In a Monday letter, Sherrill urged operators to turn away tankers carrying Russian diesel and said the state would use its legal and regulatory powers to prevent the shipments from entering through New Jersey.Sherrill said, "Russia has since dispatched multiple diesel oil tankers to the United States, including at least one that may be headed for the New Jersey coast.""The Russian Oil Act does not grant the President or Treasury Department blanket authority to waive these sanctions through licenses," the governor added.She concluded, "Any effort to profit from the illegal trade in Russian fuel will be met with harsh penalties."Related:First Russian Diesel Tanker To Sail For ...

Scott Galloway's Unhinged Tirade Against Elon Musk Takes A Very Dark Turn... Marketing professor and anti-MAGA podcaster Scott Galloway launched an unhinged attack on Elon Musk, branding the billionaire a "traitor to the West" before invoking the infamous Rosenberg espionage case, which ended with the execution of two Americans during the Cold War.Galloway spewed the incendiary comments during a discussion with former technology journalist Kara Swisher about Silicon Valley's growing influence, arguing that the United States' obsession with billionaire innovators has created a dangerous double standard.However, what began as a familiar critique of Silicon Valley's billionaire class quickly took a darker turn. Galloway compared Musk to aviation pioneer Charles Lindbergh, whose sympathies toward Nazi Germany before America's entry into World War II remain a controversial chapter in U.S. history. Galloway then invoked Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, the American couple executed in 1953 after being convicted of conspiracy to commit espionage for the Soviet Union."We lined up the Rosenbergs against a wall," Galloway said, before insisting Musk should be held to the same standards as other traitors.Galloway stopped short of explicitly calling for Musk's execution, but bringing up two spies ...

Korybko: Washington's Claims Of Canadian Meddling Are Interesting & Ironic Authored by Andrew Korybko via Korybko (Substack),They're interesting because few could have predicted that Canada of all countries would one day meddle in American elections, and they're ironic because the examples cited are a sliver of how the US regularly meddles in other countries' elections.The US Embassy in Canada released a fact sheet in late October concerning "Canadian Activities In U.S. Politics" wherein nearly a dozen examples of its recently meddling in American politics are shared. They have to do with Ottawa's reciprocal tariffs explicitly targeting Republican states and its officials extending partisan support to the Democrats ahead of early November's midterms. Most observers expect, both per the decades-long documented trend and global fuel crisis, that the Republicans will get trounced.It's in this context and less than two weeks before the vote that the US Embassy released its fact sheet. Quite clearly, Trump 2.0 wants to preemptively place partial blame for his party's expected losses on Canadian meddling, which can in turn discredit the Democrats in the eyes of some voters as well as possibly justify additional tariffs against ...

Jim Bovard: Cynicism Should Win The Mid-Term Elections Authored by Jim BovardIn an era of clueless voters and profoundly dishonest candidates, cynicism is one of the last best checks on political power run amok.  Regardless of the final vote count in Tuesday’s mid-term congressional elections, both Republicans and Democrats have earned all the distrust they will reap.   Any hope that elections would safeguard the Constitution should have perished after 9/11. Consider the race for a U.S. Senate seat in Michigan. Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed talks as if the Second Amendment only protects Americans’ right to own the type of antique flintlock muskets used to fight the British Army at Yorktown. Republican candidate Mike Rogers has devoted his congressional career to championing the Deep State and obliterating the Fourth Amendment’s prohibition on warrantless unreasonable searches.  After Edward Snowden exposed a vast National Security Agency crime spree, Rogers exonerated Uncle Sam’s secret surveillance: “You can’t have your privacy violated if you don’t know your privacy is violated.”But whoever Michigan voters send to the Senate will take an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution, right? As former U.S. senator Bob Kerrey ... Continue Reading »

Haley Stevens (D-MI) dropped a bombshell endorsement on Sunday, switching her support from Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed to Republican Mike Rogers in Michigan's U.S. Senate race a mere two days before Election Day.
