Par AFP © 2026 AFPEt de huit! Impérial face à Getafe (3-0), le FC Barcelone, leader de Liga, a prolongé son début de saison idyllique samedi avec une huitième victoire en huit journées, repoussant provisoirement le Real Madrid à neuf points.Huit matches, huit victoires, 34 buts marqués, 7 encaissés: le Barça (1er, 24 points) reste intouchable dans sa quête d’un troisième titre de champion d’Espagne consécutif.Déjà distancé après sa défaite dans le derby face à l'Atlético avant la trêve, son éternel rival, le Real Madrid (4e, 15 points), recevra Villarreal samedi soir (21h) sous une énorme pression, pour espérer recoller un peu au classement, à six longueurs.Sans son capitaine et goleador Raphinha, touché à la cuisse droite, le géant catalan s'en est remis à ses recrues Anthony Gordon (2e, 1-0) et Gabriel Jesus (30e, 2-0), puis à Jules Koundé (73e, 3-0), devenu samedi le joueur français le plus capé de l'histoire du club, devant Eric Abidal (194 matches).Avant deux déplacements compliqués à Istanbul, face à Galatasaray, puis à Séville, contre le Betis, le Barça est la seule équipe des cinq grands championnats à avoir remporté ses neufs premières rencontres toutes compétitions confondues et n’a plus perdu à domicile en ...

Trump Threatens Billions In Federal Funds If NYC Doesn't Put 'Little Italy' Back On Map Authored by Nicholas Zifcak via The Epoch Times, President Donald Trump on Friday threatened to withhold billions in federal funding from New York City unless the city updates a map of immigrant communities to include Little Italy. In 2023, the city created a map, "New York City Immigrant Enclaves," that maps ethnic communities across the city, such as Chinatown in Lower Manhattan, Little India and Little Manila in Queens, and Little Palestine in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. However, the map omits Little Italy as well as ethnic neighborhoods of Irish and Jewish communities. Speaking at a Columbus Day celebration at the White House, Trump threatened to cut billions in city funding. "So you have Yemen covered, Haiti covered, Guyana covered, Senegal covered. I think it's a disgrace. We are going to work on that immediately," said the president. The city budget relies on federal funding, with as much as $8 billion in the city's 2025 fiscal year budget coming from federal sources - most of that going toward education and social services. Federal grants also support counter-terrorism funding for ... Continue Reading »

This Won't End Well... Seattle Becomes First City To Price-Fix Your Groceries Authored by Mark Harmsworth via the Foundation for Economic Education (FEE) This week the Seattle City Council passed Mayor Katie Wilson's "Fair Pricing and Transparency" ordinance in a 7-2 vote, a first-in-the-nation ban on so-called surveillance pricing. The ordinance takes effect in 2027. The Washington Retail Association warned for months that the bill was rushed, would have significant and negative impact on prices, and that nearly all suggested fixes were ignored. As approved, retailers must decide whether they can keep offering the tailored discounts and loyalty programs that Seattle families actually use or cancel all the programs and charge more for groceries. Government should not be price-fixing consumer products. Banning the use of loyalty cards and programs, fuel rewards, and targeted coupons hurts businesses and consumers alike. Price controls do not make groceries cheaper. They flatten the tools stores use to compete for customers. When discounts vanish, the shelf price becomes the only price. That is how an "affordability" law raises a customer's grocery bill. A Greater Seattle Business Association and Seattle Latino Metropolitan Chamber guest column put it plainly: trying to control ...

Indians Panic After Trump Sabotages Tech Firm Green Card Pipeline On October 8, 2026, Vice President JD Vance and Labor Secretary Keith Sonderling announced that the Department of Labor will not accept any new PERM applications (Permanent Labor Certification) or process any pending applications involving a list of prominent tech firms.  The action is being enforced amid ongoing federal investigations into alleged abuse of employment-based immigration programs.  This decision elicited outrage from a myriad of Democrats, but the group most flustered by the situation is undoubtedly Indian migrant workers and representatives.  India is by far the greatest beneficiary of America's H-1B migrant worker program, and it's not even close. Over the past ten years alone, over 8.7 million H-1B visas have been given to Indian nationals.  Roughly 70% of all H-1B approvals every year go to Indians.   8.7 million non-immigrant visas were issued to Indian nationals from March 2017 to Feb 2026. A non-immigrant visa is temporary permission to come to America for a limited time- to work, study, or visit - and then return home. 8,704,481 of those visas were issued, according to the State Department. How many do you think ... Continue Reading »

Hair-Raising Case: White Baltimore Arts Executive Fired For Wearing Cornrows Authored by Jonathan Turley via JonathanTurley.org, A White Baltimore arts executive was recently fired in September from the Baltimore Rock Opera Society. The reason was not that Kelly Carnes was chronically absent or failed to perform her duties as the new executive director. Rather, it was the hairstyle that she briefly adopted on vacation. You see, Carnes is white, and co-workers were apparently triggered by her getting cornrows while attending the Burning Man festival. It was not deemed a fun hairstyle choice adopted on a vacation but rather a despicable case of cultural appropriation that warranted her termination. Carnes was hired on Sept. 8 and was heralded for her more than 21 years of experience in arts leadership, nonprofit strategy, communications, fundraising, and operations. She said that she adopted cornrows as a 'protective style' while attending Burning Man. We have previously discussed cultural appropriation controversies where people were triggered by cornrows, dreadlocks (and here), food (and here), costumes, big hoop earrings, yoga (and here), songs, opera, or dance styles. Businesses and universities have yielded to these attacks, curtailing a wide array of different forms ... Continue Reading »

Riyadh's International Airport Suspends All Operations After Mass Casualty Houthi Missile Barrage On Saturday Yemen's Houthis have once again pummeled Saudi Arabia's King Khalid International Airport in Ryiadh with a volley of ballistic missiles. A major emergency response has ensued with dozens of ambulances at the scene, and a total evacuation of the major flight hub. In this fresh instance, which comes after multiple attacks on the kingdom's civilian aviation hubs stretching back at least a week, there appears to be mass casualties as a result. Result of the prior October 8 attack on Riyadh's international airport, social media via ReutersArrivals have been canceled across the board for much of Saturday, according to flight tracker Flightradar24, with passengers that were already in the air having been diverted to other cities. "Terminal 3 of the King Khalid International Airport suffered a direct hit from missiles and has been evacuated, with at least some injuries, Saudi officials said," reports The Wall Street Journal. Eyewitnesses reported hearing loud explosions rock the airport. ALL OPERATION SUSPENDED "Several ambulances and a few helicopters were sent to collect the wounded and take them to King Fahad hospital in Riyadh, one of ... Continue Reading »

Police Body Cam Footage Of 6-Year-Old Child Who Shot Teacher Finally Released The fatigue is real.  A 6-year-old first grader shoots his teacher with a 9mm he stole from his mother, lodging a bullet in the educator's chest near her heart and nearly killing her, and the media and authorities suddenly go quiet about the details of the crime.  It's an easy guess as to who is responsible and why.  The details of this story could not be more predictable because it follows a common thread of behavior which has plagued American culture for far too long.   On January 6, 2023 at Richneck Elementary School in Newport News, Virginia, a 6-year-old first-grader (referred to in court as J.T.) shot his teacher, Abby Zwerner with a Taurus pistol he took from his mother.  The boy pulled the gun from his hoodie pocket and fired one shot at Zwerner from roughly 10 feet away as she tried to reach for the weapon. The bullet went through her left hand and lodged in her chest (near her heart; her lung collapsed). She then escorted the other students out of the room before passing out in the ...

New Jersey Pulls More Improper Voter Registrations, Adds Daily Audits At Motor Vehicle Agency Authored by Chase Smith via The Epoch Times, New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill on Oct. 7 ordered daily checks of voter registrations processed through the state Motor Vehicle Commission after a review found about 1,090 additional registrations that were improperly handled. Sherrill ordered the review after disclosing in July that a software error had registered about 6,600 people who said they were not U.S. citizens when they applied for driver's licenses and state IDs between June 2023 and June 2024. She said fewer than 400 of them voted. Sherrill, a Democrat, said in a statement that neither of the new problems involved noncitizens. About 750 of the records came from the same error in a system run by IDEMIA, the agency's vendor, according to a press release from the governor's office. Those people answered "no" when asked whether they were old enough to vote, but their registrations went through anyway, her office said. Sherrill's administration said their birth dates showed they were old enough and that many appeared to have pressed the wrong button on the keypad. Because they answered no, the registrations ...

Trump Petitions Supreme Court To Reinstate Lawsuit Against Clinton & DNC Over Russia Claims Authored by Matthew Vadum via The Epoch Times, President Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court on Oct. 9 to revive his dismissed civil lawsuit against Hillary Clinton, the Democratic National Committee (DNC), and others. The president alleges they conspired to create and spread a false story that his 2016 campaign colluded with Russia. Lower courts rejected the case and ordered Trump and one of his attorneys, Alina Habba, to pay almost $1 million in sanctions. The trial judge and the appeals court called the lawsuit "frivolous," saying it had no legal merit and appeared aimed at political grievance rather than a valid claim. Trump is now asking the nation's highest court to review the appeals court's decision upholding both the dismissal and the sanctions. While he was out of office after losing the 2020 election, Trump initiated the lawsuit in federal court in Florida in March 2022, under a federal racketeering law known as civil RICO. That law allows private individuals to seek damages when they claim someone engaged in a pattern of illegal activities, such as fraud or conspiracy. The ... Continue Reading »

Vance Casts Doubt On Firing Squad Execution, Balks At Hegseth's Live Stream Plan Vice President JD Vance seemed less enthusiastic and more ambivalent compared to other top officials in the US administration when asked about War Secretary Pete Hegseth's announcement that the Pentagon will livestream the firing squad execution of Fort Hood killer Nidal Hasan. A reporter asked Vance about the unusual development on Friday. Hegseth has been insistent that it will happen. Apparently having been approved by President Trump, the execution is set for December 3rd of this year. "Well, first of all, I’ve seen these announcements. I don't know that that’s actually going to happen. Let’s sort of see what - I think it’s going to happen in December when he’s executed," Vance began. JD Vance distances himself from Hegseth's televised execution: "Look, if it's ultimately livestreamed, I'm not going to be watching it" https://t.co/PnpmjfNTi0 — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) October 9, 2026 Vance, who will himself likely run for president after Trump's term, continued: "But what I try to remind people is, look, this is a guy who committed, in my view, the worst terrorist attack on American soil outside of 9/11." "The people ... Continue Reading »

Blackwater Bloodied: Erik Prince's Congo Force Ambushed, Ex-UFC Star Tim Kennedy Shot In The Fight For The World's Cobalt When Erik Prince signed on with Kinshasa last year, the brief was mostly about spreadsheets: help Congo's finance ministry actually collect taxes on its minerals. But on September 17, it turned into a firefight. According to a Reuters exclusive published Friday, a team working for Prince's Vectus Global was ambushed in South Kivu in eastern Congo, leaving roughly 20 people killed and wounded, among them at least seven Congolese and a former New Zealand special forces soldier. The wounded include Tim Kennedy, the retired Green Beret, ex-UFC fighter and podcaster with millions of social media followers (and a fight résumé in a sport the president is rather fond of, as Reuters helpfully notes), who took three gunshot wounds to the leg and is recovering at Walter Reed. Regular readers know we have been tracking Prince's slow migration from Kinshasa's tax office to the front lines since his men and drones showed up in Uvira in February. What is new is the body count, and the fact that the war for Congo's minerals ... Continue Reading »

'Finfluencer' Options Alerts Drive Buying Surges That Quickly Fade, Study Finds A new study suggests traders paying for options alerts on Discord may be helping create the gains they are trying to chase, according to Bloomberg. Researchers examining 15 paid Discord trading communities found a consistent pattern. An influencer posts an options trade, followers pile into the contract, volume explodes and the price jumps. The excitement usually does not last. Retail activity following these alerts reached roughly 14.5 standard deviations above normal, while recommended options gained an average of about 3% during the first minute. Within roughly two hours, most of that price impact had disappeared. Bloomberg notes that this gives an obvious advantage to whoever entered before sending the alert. Followers arriving seconds or minutes later are already paying higher prices. After transaction costs, the study found subscribers generally lost money even when they reacted almost immediately. “The finfluencer generally would get in at a lower price, and then the herding of their followers pushes the price up,” said Oklahoma State University finance professor Brian Roseman. “Their influence is driving the price up rather than their actual skill selecting good options.” A May ...

In First, Putin Conveys High Level Message To Trump On Ending Iran War In a significant first of the seven-month long Iran war, Russian President Vladimir Putin has relayed to US President ⁠Donald Trump Tehran's position on a possible resolution to the ‌US-Iran war, according to the Kremlin. So far it is only the Kremlin readout of the two leaders' Friday call which mentions the Iran proposal was conveyed, however it didn't specify what they discussed in particular. "During the October 9 telephone conversation with U.S. President Donald Trump, considerable focus was on prospects for settling the Ukraine crisis, while the situation surrounding Iran and various aspects of bilateral relations were touched upon as well," Putin said in the statement. While the big news of the weekend is the major Trump-Putin diesel deal, if it is confirmed that Putin has begun directly mediating on behalf of Tehran, this marks a huge precedent and possible turning point in the Iran conflict. According to more on the call as it pertains to the Iran situation: Russia’s Interfax news agency quoted Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov as saying Putin sent the message to Trump “in agreement with Iranian ...

Pentagon Unveils $350 Million In Quantum Computing Initiatives Authored by Timothy Frudd via The Epoch Times, The Department of War announced $350 million in quantum computing initiatives on Oct. 8 intended to strengthen America's leadership in quantum computing capabilities and support national security. The initiatives, announced by the Office of the Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering, are part of the Trump administration's effort to boost quantum computing, which uses the principles of quantum mechanics to solve advanced problems much faster than traditional computers. President Donald Trump previously issued a pair of executive orders on June 22 that set new development goals for the quantum computing industry to maintain U.S. dominance in the field. The goals included the development of the world's first quantum computer capable of powering advanced scientific research by 2028. "Dominance in quantum information science is a critical priority for both President Trump and the Department of War," Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering Emil Michael said in a statement on Thursday. "Maintaining American leadership in this field is essential to preserving our technological edge, and R&E (Research and Engineering) is uniquely positioned to drive the ... Continue Reading »

In Germany, 87% Of Suspects With An Arrest Warrant Are Foreigners Authored by - Remix News Staff - via Remix News, More than 148,000 people remain subject to outstanding arrest warrants in Germany, and only 11.2 percent of them hold exclusively German citizenship, and overall, 87 percent of arrest warrant suspects are foreigners, according to figures the Federal Ministry of the Interior provided in response to a parliamentary inquiry. Foreign nationals account for 87.3 percent of the total of suspects wanted for arrests, while another 1.5 percent are German citizens who also hold a second nationality. The data is already adding to the debate about mass immigration and criminality, especially in a country where the amount of violence, rape, and serious offenses are disproportionately committed by its foreign population. Welt newspaper obtained the ministry's reply to a question from Alternative for Germany (AfD) lawmaker Sebastian Münzenmaier. Münzenmaier told Welt am Sonntag: "The figures speak for themselves: The overwhelming majority of criminals wanted on arrest warrants do not have a German passport." He called for a "rigorous change of course" that would include permanent and complete border controls, the immediate termination of the stay ... Continue Reading »

Authored by Kit Knightly via OffGuardian, The cold season is here, which means people getting sniffles, which means those few deluded people still living in 2020 are running out to test themselves for Covid the moment they - or, indeed, someone they happen to know - sneezes. This means Covid cases are SURGING... ...from 0.5 in 100000 to 2 in 100000. Or less than one third of the 6 in 100000 during the devastating autumn of 2025, which I trust we lucky survivors all remember with chilling clarity. Most of these "cases" are due to the latest scary variant XFG - or "American Covid". I have no idea why they've called it that (maybe it's some kind of othering propaganda, the same way the French call syphilis "the English disease", while the English call it "the French disease"). The symptoms of this new variant are the same as the old variant - ALL the old variants. Headaches, coughs, nausea, aches...you know the drill. But there is one thing apparently marking "American Covid" out, that's what Dr Kaywaan Khan told The Mirror, anyway: "You can still get some of the same ... Continue Reading »

Beyond AI: NASA And DOE To Push Nuclear Power Into Space NASA and the Department of Energy signed a new space nuclear agreement Thursday, putting another piece of Washington’s reactor ambitions on paper while private developers race to meet some of the near-term goals. The nuclear energy renaissance story has been increasingly linked to the buildout of data centers for AI. NASA is reminding folks that ChatGPT is not the only customer for fission. We’re getting America underway on nuclear power in space and ushering in the era of a Nuclear NASA. With the signing of an MOU with @ENERGY, we’re taking the next giant leap toward exploring the outer solar system and sending American astronauts to Mars. Fission power will help us travel farther, operate longer, and power more capable scientific instruments. — NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman (@NASAAdmin) October 8, 2026 Signed by NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman and Energy Secretary Chris Wright, the MOU, “Accelerating American Leadership in Space Nuclear Power and Propulsion,” takes effect November 1st. The MOU covers all aspects of getting nuclear energy off the ground, including research, testing, launch integration, and fuel production. This newer version of the Space ... Continue Reading »

As German Voters Reject Mass Migration, Politicians And The Media Play The Fool Authored by Pawel Styrna via American Thinker, The anti-mass-migration Alternative for Germany (AfD) has won the election to the provincial parliaments in the states of Saxony-Anhalt and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The AfD's rising trajectory demonstrates that - like throughout the rest of the West - voters increasingly want an end to unchecked mass migration and its many cultural, economic, and security problems. It also shows that the globalist, pro-mass-migration political and media establishment continues to ignore and demonize the voters and pretend there is no problem. Although the AfD did not capture a majority of the seats in the Saxony-Anhalt parliament (Landtag), it came within striking distance. Winning 44 percent of the vote, the AfD nevertheless doubled its share from the previous (2021) election and secured its best showing ever. In Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, it more than doubled its vote share. The biggest losers were the Christian Democrats - the party of Chancellor Friedrich Merz and former Chancellor Angela Merkel - which plummeted from 37 percent five years ago to 17 percent in Saxony-Anhalt. Overall, Merz's policies, including on immigration, had even lower approval ... Continue Reading »

Hurricane Isaias Slams Gulf Coast, Knocks Out Power To 830,000 As Major Refineries Are Spared Hurricane Isaias knocked out power to about 830,000 homes and businesses across Florida, Alabama, and Georgia and disrupted oil and natural gas operations in the Gulf of America, but the good news: it narrowly missed major refineries. The Category 2 hurricane made landfall near Destin, Florida, at 8:30 local time, with sustained winds of 105 miles per hour before weakening into what the National Hurricane Center calls a "post-tropical cyclone." Strong winds damaged roofs, toppled trees and downed power lines, while flooding was reported across Florida and Alabama. Gulf oil production fell sharply late in the week as Isaias forced offshore platform evacuations and drilling rig relocations. A slight eastward shift in the storm's track spared Chevron's Pascagoula refinery in Mississippi, reducing the risk of a major refining disruption. The focus today now shifts to damaged infrastructure assessments and the pace of offshore production restarts.  According to the utility tracker website PowerOutage, 430,000 customers in Florida are without power, 300,000 in Alabama, and another 106,000 in Georgia. Torrential rain and tropical storm conditions were expected to persist Saturday as ... Continue Reading »

Trump Says "Time For Ukraine To Get A New Leader" After Zelensky Ignored Six Pleas To Stop Refinery Strikes Update (1200ET): As he was boarding Air Force One on the way to Tennessee this morning, President Trump made his feelings clear over how he feels about Ukrainian President Zelensky. President Trump stated that "it’s time for Ukraine to get a new president", criticizing Zelensky for bombing Russian oil refineries and accusing him of failing to end the war. “I suggest they get a new leader who can make a deal."  One day after announcing plans to buy more than a million tonnes of diesel from Russia, Trump said the Ukrainian strikes were driving up global fuel prices and creating “problems for the world”. “He wants to make problems for our farmers, our ranchers with diesel fuel because Russia supplies a large portion of the diesel fuel throughout the world. And we told them ‘Do whatever you want, but don’t hit the diesel fuel, because this is a big problem, a big shortage’.” “And what does he do? He goes and hits the diesel fuel.” Asked about the strikes, he said of Zelensky: “He’d better damn well ... Continue Reading »
