Par AFP © 2026 AFP Relancé en championnat par trois succès consécutifs contre des équipes à sa portée, l'OM passe un test intéressant dimanche contre Toulouse et espère entretenir cette dynamique, alors que Bruno Genesio, mécontent de certains comportements, semble avoir trouvé une équipe-type.Ça a été la grande affaire de l'après-match dimanche dernier: l'OM venait de s'infliger une immense trouille face au Havre, revenu de 4-0 à 4-3, et Bruno Genesio a pointé du doigt le comportement de certains entrants, en l'occurrence les jeunes Keyliane Abdallah et Nouhoum Kamissoko."Je n'aime pas faire ça, mais là je vais le dire. Deux jeunes sont entrés. Ils ont l'ambition d'être titulaires, on leur dit que c'est injuste qu'ils ne jouent pas... Mais quand on entre à 4-0 ou 4-1, la moindre des choses c'est de faire preuve d'humilité. Il faut respecter ceux qui ont débuté et l'institution. C'est l'apprentissage et je vais leur faire comprendre. Quand on revendique des choses, il faut montrer sur le terrain qu'on les mérite", expliquait alors le coach marseillais, plus qu'agacé.Vendredi avant d'évoquer la venue de Toulouse, qu'il voit comme "une des meilleures équipes de L1", Genesio est brièvement revenu sur ses propos et sur sa ...

Par AFP Par Paul NOLP © 2026 AFP En ce samedi soir d'Halloween aux États-Unis, Victor Wembanyama a terrifié Minnesota avec 43 points pour offrir une quatrième victoire d'affilée en NBA aux Spurs, quand les Sixers de Philadelphie, privés de LeBron James, ont gagné au forceps.Le Français de 22 ans a beaucoup tenté avec un record personnel de 34 tirs tentés et la moitié réussie (17), beaucoup de un-contre-un et trois paniers derrière l'arc, pour vaincre les Timberwolves 121-111."Après avoir joué tellement de matchs, littéralement des centaines maintenant en NBA, le cerveau sait sur quel match on peut se permettre de se faire plaisir", a lancé le tricolore après la rencontre.En plus de ses 43 points, le deuxième meilleur total de sa carrière (derrière ses 50 points en novembre 2024 contre les Washington Wizards), Wemby a pris 7 rebonds et réussi 6 contres.Il a été épaulé par Dylan Harper (25 points) et De'Aaron Fox (22 points) face à des adversaires privés du Français Rudy Gobert, laissé au repos, et de leur star Anthony Edwards, récemment opéré au genou.LaMelo Ball a voulu prendre le relais, mais n'a joué que 20 minutes et c'est Ayo Dosunmu qui a tenté de maintenir ...

Europeans Can't Even Die In Their Own Coffins? Authored by Remix News Staff via Remix News,With deaths accelerating in Europe due to a rapidly aging population, observers might expect a "silver lining" in at least one area of the economy: coffin production. However, just as with many other industries, China is even eating into this market share, helping result in dozens of coffin producers to go out of business in recent years.European coffin manufacturers have now formed a coalition and are preparing a formal anti-dumping complaint against Chinese imports, arguing that low prices and alleged customs loopholes are eroding a traditional industry tied to predictable demand.The number of European coffin producers has fallen from about 120 to 90 over the past five years, with smaller firms largely unable to compete, according to Folco Ciulli, a consultant coordinating the effort. Surviving companies have absorbed only about half the output of those that closed, he told Politico. The coalition, which previously lacked dedicated lobby representation, has met with European Commission officials, including from the trade department, organizers told Politico.Chinese coffins are simply cheaper, costing approximately one-third less in Italy, even when ...

Rubio Calls Out China's "Coercive Behavior" In West Sea As Japan, South Korea Sign Arctic Pact Secretary of State Marco Rubio raised concerns about China's efforts to assert control over the South China Sea, its "coercive behavior" in the East China Sea and Yellow Sea, and Russia-China cooperation that undermines peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region, according to a State Department readout released Friday.The meeting took place on the sidelines of the G20 in Atlanta on Friday, where Rubio and his counterparts discussed strengthening security and economic cooperation across the Indo-Pacific region. They also signed a memorandum establishing the Trilateral Arctic Pacific Partnership to explore maritime cooperation and economic opportunities in the Pacific Arctic.South Korea's statement after the G20 meeting omitted references to China and the West Sea, saying only that the ministers discussed regional and global developments, including attempts to unilaterally change the status quo. Japan also said in a statement that it opposed force or coercion in the region, without naming Beijing or the disputed waters.The Chosun Daily, a major South Korean newspaper, wrote, "This is the first time the U.S. Department of State has explicitly ...

Ron Paul's 2001 Alternative: What Could Have Been Authored by Joshua Mawhorter via Mises Institute,"Should we just have done nothing?!" The former question is a common incensed objection whenever someone dares to question the wisdom, appropriateness, or success of the War on Terror. Part of this is because many hold to an unrealistic and idealized "War on Terror" - which was just and, despite mistakes, imperfectly accomplished most or all its stated objectives - instead of the historical War on Terror. Even recognizing significant missteps and disasters of the War on Terror, many defenders would have us believe that - as bad as it was - there was no viable alternative.(Let us also note that Obama, Trump, Biden, and Trump again all enjoyed electoral success while campaigning, to varying degrees, against the War on Terror, its consequences, or America's prolonged foreign interventions - even as their subsequent policies often contradicted their campaign rhetoric. Yet, despite repeated promises to learn the lessons of these wars, interventionist policies persisted, while some political leaders and commentators even sought to rehabilitate the War on Terror's reputation or even recast renewed military intervention as ...

D.C. And Virginia Sue To Stop Trump's Triumphal Arch As Nov. 5 Groundbreaking Looms The District of Columbia and Virginia sued the Trump administration on Saturday to halt construction of the 250-foot triumphal arch planned for Memorial Circle, asking a federal court for a temporary restraining order days before work could begin. Attorneys General Brian Schwalb and Jay Jones filed the suit Oct. 31 against the National Park Service, the Interior Department and their leaders, Jessica Bowron and Doug Burgum.The timing is the point. The administration has said ground could be broken as soon as Nov. 5, the day the National Capital Planning Commission meets to consider final approval, if Interior also issues its own final decision. Per CBS News, the complaint says irreparable harm would begin "as soon as Defendants break ground."The complaint runs to eight counts, including violations of the Administrative Procedure Act, the National Environmental Policy Act and the National Historic Preservation Act. It also alleges that the arch breaks the Height of Buildings Act, which generally caps buildings on D.C. business streets at 130 feet, and that Congress never authorized it as the Commemorative Works ...

Alina Habba Says Ric Grenell Blocked $5.6M Of Billionaire Husband's Donation - But Did He Ever Send It? Alina Habba told President Trump in the Oval Office that Richard Grenell, the Trump ally who ran the Kennedy Center, never delivered roughly $5.6 million of a $17.6 million payment her husband wired at his direction, and White House counsel Will Scharf has been told to look into it. Grenell denies it all. The dispute has since turned toward Habba's husband, Turkish businessman Turhan Mildon, his Venezuelan and Congolese business ties, and whose money the wire really was. Richard Grenell and Alina Habba Mildon had once been close friends.Credit...Haiyun Jiang for The New York Times According to the NY Times, Habba brought the accusation to the Oval Office on Oct. 9, after the Times sent Mildon questions about his Venezuela business. She said Mildon made the payment in May 2025 at Grenell's direction, believing about $5.6 million would be set aside for the Kennedy Center, and that the money never reached it. The wire itself went to TX-AT, a Texas security and defense equipment company, not to the Kennedy Center. Trump called in ... Continue Reading »

First Doomsday Warnings, Then Poland Crisis, Iran's "No Limits" Threat, & Now "Mass Casualty" Risk In Moscow Emergency preparedness warnings across the US, Europe, and Japan have been amplified in corporate media and turned into hysteria for the general public. One big question we have is whether these advisories are coming from an intelligence briefing or deep state globalists doing what they're best at: manipulating the public through headlines. It's hard to say what's fueling the panic, but mentions of "stockpile food" in corporate media headlines jumped on October 23 to their highest level since the Covid-19 panic era of 2021.By Tuesday, the "stockpile food" trend on X had soared but has since faded.What's indisputable is what has happened since those warnings were blasted around corporate media: a political crisis began unfolding in Poland on Friday evening, Iran warned that any renewed conflict with the US would have "no geographical limitation" in retaliation, and by late Saturday morning, the US Embassy in Moscow had warned of a "credible threat of a mass casualty event" in the Russian capital.Russia: The U.S. Embassy in Moscow is aware of a credible threat ...

Looting And Chaos Erupt In Germany As Europe Slides Deeper Into Crisis Europe appears to have been thrown into an accelerated timeline of crises colliding at once, whether far-left social unrest in France, which has spread to several other countries, the unfolding debt crisis in France, or the political crisis in Poland that erupted in the last 24 hours. The momentum is troubling and concerning.Beyond the political crisis in Poland and the US warning earlier today of a potential "mass casualty" incident in Moscow, another crisis appears to be unfolding in Germany on Halloween night: looting and chaos.“Violent riots” continue in Frankfurt according to the police, with petrol bombs thrown at emergency services and reports of shops looted including a gun store. https://t.co/GLYwq5i1wl— Frank Wright (@frankwrighter) October 31, 2026 "The looting of stores has started in Frankfurt, Germany.

Binance Plugs 90% Of $6.3 Billion Hack Hole With Its Own Cash, Says Withdrawals Reopen Sunday Binance says it has replaced 90% of the roughly $6.3 billion stolen from its hot wallets on Thursday, and that withdrawals, suspended since the attack, remain on track to reopen Sunday. Binance says 90% of hack impact now covered "Binance will absorb the financial impact of these stolen funds, not our users," the exchange said in its third recovery update on Saturday, adding that all BTC, ETH, USDT, BNB, SOL, USDC, XRP, USD1, RLUSD and ZEC balances are now "fully backed 100%." The remaining 10% sits in smaller tokens that Binance says are "less liquid" and will take longer to buy through the market and OTC desks.The money is coming out of Binance's own pockets: a partial draw on its Secure Asset Fund for Users (SAFU), a slice of its futures insurance fund and its corporate treasury. On Friday the exchange said it had set aside more than $6.34 billion in company funds, $5 billion of it held in the exact tokens that were taken. Binance says it will refill SAFU to about $1 billion, ... Continue Reading »

And The Winner For Poorest Big City In America Is... Philadelphia has once again been named the poorest major city in the United States, reclaiming an unwanted title after briefly losing last year.A whopping 20.4% of Philadelphia residents lived below the poverty line in 2025, according to newly released U.S. Census Bureau data, marking the city's first increase in poverty since 2011.The figures, first reported by The Philadelphia Inquirer, put Philadelphia ahead of Houston and New York City, which both recorded poverty rates of 17.7%.The reversal comes after Philadelphia briefly surrendered its unwanted title to Houston in 2024, when its poverty rate dropped to 19.7%, its lowest level since at least 1979.The latest figures also revealed that Philadelphia's median household income stood at just $67,400 in 2025. A family of four earning approximately $32,750 annually was considered to be living in poverty, according to federal guidelines.In a statement to the Inquirer, Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker (D) conceded that city's poverty rate unacceptable.

Qatar Signals Talks 'Breakthrough' As Khamenei Warns Iran's Retaliation Will Have 'No Geographical Limits' If Attacked Could this be the actual breakthrough coming after many months of prior claimed negotiation 'breakthroughs' and false starts?Just when the prospect of even getting back to the negotiating table seemed as remote as ever, Qatari newspaper Al-Araby Al-Jadeed is reporting that planned direct talks are back on.Regional sources are indeed calling this a "breakthrough" in hitherto indirect negotiations between Washington and Tehran, with an American delegation soon expected to join Iranian officials for direct talks in Doha.The midterm election in the US is just a handful of days away, and President Trump has strongly signaled he might renew a major bombing campaign against the Islamic Republic.Picking up on the Saturday Qatari report, Times of Israel writes, "Citing sources close to mediation efforts led by Qatar and Pakistan, the report says the sides have agreed on preliminary measures concerning Iran’s nuclear program, navigation through the Strait of Hormuz and financial incentives for Tehran, with China and Russia set to serve as guarantors of an agreement."The closer we get to the midterms, the faster Araghchi ...

They had no costumes, having earlier laughed at how such garb was for little kids, not for them. But now, uncool or not, those costumed kids were getting free candy. They were not.Amid the enveloping darkness, Jack-o'-lanterns flickered and costumed children tittered and flitted from door to door. Time was expiring. What to do?One youth, his face etched with angst, hesitantly floated a trial balloon in the gloaming. "Let's just knock doors like this."The gaggle eyed one another's black T-shirts, jeans, and boots. The bald suggestion hung in the air until -Shrugs. Swiftly, pillowcases were pilfered from their unwitting parents and the gaggle's quest for treats sans costumes commenced.It didn't go well. The adults who actually answered their doors to the gaggle were less than impressed by these youths' brazen attempt to get candy. Their glares and questions were always the same. "Where are your costumes?"The youths' response, ... Continue Reading »

Iran Issues Nov 1st Blanket Ban On South Korean Tanker Giant Moving One-Third Of Persian Gulf Oil Exports South Korean tanker giant Sinokor is the world's dominant VLCC owner (Very Large Crude Carrier) and has in recent weeks found itself front and center in the crosshairs of Iranian retaliation in the Strait of Hormuz and regional waters.This past week, Iran's Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA) has put the major South Korean maritime shipping and logistics group on notice, saying Sinokor will suffer sweeping action against its fleet starting November 1st if it keeps violating Tehran's protocol for shipping through the strait.This has marked the first time the Islamic Republic issued a blanket warning covering a shipowner's entire fleet, but this is perhaps because Sinokor alone accounted for about 37% of Hormuz oil transits in September and more than 50% of VLCC traffic in the first 10 days of October, according to Lloyd’s List Intelligence data. Source: Sinokor Despite regional passage being fraught with obvious ultra high risks, Sinokor has risen to dominance in the Gulf's shipping market, moving to capitalize on extraordinary freight rates.However, this has come at a steep physical ...

Ilhan Omar's Marriage Application To 'Brother' Surfaces With Some Bizarre Errors Rep. Ilhan Omar's 2009 Minnesota marriage license application to Ahmed Elmi, the man accused of being her brother, shows her surname written as Omar, crossed out and changed to Elmi, then changed back to Omar, according to a certified copy from Hennepin County obtained by the New York Post.Do NOT let this fade. Keep the pressure on. Ilhan Omar and Ahmed Nur Said Elmi's (Omar's BROTHER) marriage certificate. pic.twitter.com/0dY92uTzXS— Mila Joy (@Milajoy) December 31, 2025The name changes could matter because the Justice Department is investigating whether the Somalia-born Minnesota Democrat fraudulently obtained U.S. citizenship in 2000 by failing to use her true legal name and birthdate. That case grew out of an earlier probe into whether Omar committed immigration fraud by marrying Elmi, a British citizen.The document arrives weeks into an escalating federal effort. Homeland Security Investigations agents raided Omar's Washington, D.C., home on Oct. 12 as part of the immigration fraud probe. In a court filing last week, the Justice Department referred to her as "Congresswoman Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar."A source familiar with the investigation ... Continue Reading »

The Pendulum Of History Authored by Charles Hugh Smith via Of Two Minds,This is Essay #8 in the series Truth Be Told.A great many phenomena in both Nature and human history follow cyclical patterns, while others form waves. Author David Hackett Fischer (The Great Wave: Price Revolutions and the Rhythm of History) described the difference between cycles and waves:"Cyclical rhythms are fixed and regular. Their periods are highly predictable. Great waves are more variable and less predictable. They differ in duration, magnitude, velocity, and momentum. One great price wave lasted less than ninety years; another continued more than 180 years. The irregularities in individual price movements make them no more (or less) predictable than individual waves in the sea.Even so, all great waves had important qualities in common. They all shared the same wave-structure. They tended to have the same sequence of development, the same pattern of price relatives, similar movements of wages, rent, interest rates; and the same dangerous volatility in later stages. All major price revolutions in modern history began in periods of prosperity. Each ended in shattering world crises and was followed by periods of recovery ... Continue Reading »

"Very Intentional": Steve Eisman Thinks Anthropic Is Hiding Something Submitted by QTR's Fringe FinanceSteve Eisman, the investor made famous by The Big Short for recognizing the subprime mortgage disaster before much of Wall Street, is now accusing Anthropic of deliberately withholding its latest quarterly financial statements from investors ahead of its potentially $2 trillion IPO.Speaking Wednesday on Prof G Markets, Eisman questioned why Anthropic’s October 26 prospectus contained financial statements only through June, despite more recent information suggesting the company’s explosive growth may already be losing momentum, according to the podcast and Yahoo.Asked whether he believed the omission was deliberate, Eisman answered: “Only very intentional.”That’s a pretty serious allegation, particularly coming from somebody whose reputation was built on recognizing financial absurdities that the rest of Wall Street was perfectly content to ignore. And it dovetails almost perfectly with what I’ve been arguing about the AI bubble for months.On September 29, I published It’s Official: The AI Emperor Has No Clothes, examining Anthropic’s extraordinary losses, its enormous infrastructure commitments, and the growing disconnect between the enthusiasm in AI equities and the warnings emerging from credit markets.My argument then was that ...

Will Buyers Skip Apple's iPhone Duo Amid "Crackgate"? UBS Flags Wait-Time Warning Signs To Watch "Crackgate" exploded last week on X and other social media platforms as dozens of users who dropped more than $2,000 on the new foldable iPhone Duo reported that, just days into owning the new handset, in some cases, hours into using the new smartphone, the screen cracked down the middle. Apple soon acknowledged the problem, calling it "display problems," and said it would offer replacement units. But the potential failure point might go beyond a quality issue and could involve a structural problem with the hinge.The latest average wait time for the iPhone Duo, measured by UBS Evidence Lab, is 89 days, which means anyone who places a Duo order today won't receive it until the end of January. What's impressive is that many Apple fans are willing to be guinea pigs testing the new model, even spending thousands of dollars to do so.UBS technology analyst David Vogt wrote in a new report that wait times for the new Duo eased over the past week, but buyers still face a three-month delay.Across more than 30 ...

Gun Owners Must Vote So Congress And Trump Can Continue To Deliver Authored by Aidan Johnston via Gun Owners of America,In November 2024, gun owners elected a president who promised to restore the Second Amendment and ushered in the most pro-gun Congress in modern history. Two years later, the results are not in dispute. No president in American history has done more to restore lost Second Amendment rights than Donald J. Trump. And no Congress has restored more Second Amendment rights than the 119th. Photo by Andrew Harnik/Getty Images Just after taking office, President Trump signed Executive Order 14206, "Protecting Second Amendment Rights" - the first executive order in American history devoted specifically to restoring lost gun rights. President Trump ordered a wholesale review and repeal of every unconstitutional Biden-era gun control.To fulfill President Trump's main campaign promises to gun owners, Acting ATF Director Kash Patel repealed the Biden ATF's "Zero Tolerance" policy that was shutting down gun stores and expanding ATF's billion-record gun registry. Trump-appointed Judges also struck down Biden's "Pistol Brace" rule, Biden's "Frame and Receiver" rule, and Biden's "Engaged in the Business" rule.More recently, ATF proposed more than ...
