"The thought of recurrence is also a psychosocial issue for our patients. They're being monitored very closely for five years, so there's always that thought in the back of their head, 'What if the cancer comes back? What are the next steps? What am I going to do next?' It's really important that we have conversations with patients and their families about where they're at, what we're looking for, and reassure them that we'll be with them during this journey and help them through whatever next steps happen," ONS member Clara Beaver, DNP, RN, AOCNS®, ACNS-BC, manager of clinical education and clinical nurse specialist at Karmanos Cancer Institute in Detroit, MI, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about prostate cancer survivorship considerations for nurses.

Highlights From This Episode "Some of the most common late side effects [are] urinary, bowel, and sexual dysfunction issues. For urinary effects, it can include urgency and frequency, some incontinence, or a weak or slow urine stream that frequently bothers the patient after treatment. Bowel effects can happen such as constipation, diarrhea, or inflammation of the rectum, which can lead to bleeding or mucus discharge. And then erectile dysfunction is another side effect that patients with prostate cancer often deal with and have to work with their physicians on, depending on what they want with that function. Fatigue, lymphedema, and skin changes can also occur after treatment." TS 1:40 "If we can catch [prostate cancer] and take care of it at an early stage, overall survival is about 90%. If the disease is localized, it's 99%. If we can take out the prostate, radiate the prostate, we can do something with that—localized, 99% survival rate. If there's regional metastasis, it's about 90%. And if there's distant metastasis, it's about 30% survival." TS 3:55 "Prostate cancer recurs in about 20%–30% of patients within the first five years of initial treatment. ... There's not a lot of research out there that shows what can reduce risk, but what has been shown to be effective is regular exercise, quitting smoking, and eating a healthy diet. ... It's really important for our patients to understand the importance of having follow-up visits so that we can catch a recurrence quickly instead of waiting years down the road. Prostate cancer is usually a slow-growing disease, so if we can pick it up quickly in those revisits, we can start another treatment for the patient." TS 6:00 "Sexuality is not something many people are comfortable discussing, but we really need to talk with patients and let them know that this is normal. It is normal that you may have some sexual dysfunction. It's normal that you may not feel the way you did before. Talk to us about it, let us know where you're at, let us know what your goals are, because there are a lot of things we can do. There are medications we can use for impedance. There are devices and implants available to help the patient to support them and give them whatever their goal is for their sexuality." TS 9:41 "Providing survivorship care plans are important for these patients—something that can be sent off to everyone else that's caring for that patient. You have your primary care physician, urologist, oncologist, the oncology nurse, maybe a navigator, and [others] who are looking into this patient. So, giving that patient a survivor care plan and putting it with their files to include a summary of the treatment received, because most of the time a patient is not going to remember exactly what they received. A suggested schedule for follow-up exams—so again, if a primary care provider is not used to dealing with a patient with prostate cancer, they have something to go off of. A schedule of other tests they may need in the future including screening for other types of cancer. Are they a smoker? Do they need lung screening? Do they need any other screenings related to types of cancers? And then a list of possible late or long-term side effects." TS 15:16 "I think a lot of people know about the long-term sexual effects, but what we don't really talk about is the effect that it has on the patient's self-image. How they define themselves, how they look, their body image, their self-image. It's really important that we continue to discuss it with patients and make them comfortable when discussing their sexuality and their goals for sexuality. They may be having these self-image issues after treatment that they're just not telling us about and that can affect their quality of life." TS 18:38

This Day in Legal History: West Coast HotelOn December 16, 1936, the US Supreme Court heard oral arguments in West Coast Hotel Co. v. Parrish, a case that would become a cornerstone in constitutional law and mark a significant turning point in the Court's approach to economic regulation. At issue was the constitutionality of Washington State's minimum wage law for women, which had been challenged by the West Coast Hotel Company after Elsie Parrish, a maid, sued for back wages.The case arrived during a period when the Court had consistently struck down New Deal-era economic regulations, relying on a broad interpretation of “freedom of contract” under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Earlier cases like Lochner v. New York had enshrined a judicial skepticism toward government interference in labor and wage arrangements.However, in Parrish, the Court's posture shifted. The eventual decision, handed down in 1937, upheld the minimum wage law, effectively signaling the end of the so-called Lochner era. The majority reasoned that the state had a legitimate interest in protecting the health and well-being of workers, particularly vulnerable low-wage employees.Justice Owen Roberts, who had previously sided with the Court's conservative bloc, voted with the majority—his move later came to be known as “the switch in time that saved nine,” as it followed President Roosevelt's controversial proposal to expand the Court.The decision validated broader governmental authority to regulate the economy, and it cleared the path for many New Deal policies to take root. It also marked a recalibration in the balance between individual economic liberty and the public interest.West Coast Hotel remains a landmark case in US constitutional history, exemplifying how judicial interpretation can evolve in response to changing social and economic realities.The 2025 tax-and-spending law introduced an overtime tax deduction that was billed as relief for overworked, working-class Americans. But the reality shaping up for the 2026 filing season is far more complicated—and far less beneficial—than its political framing suggested. The deduction does not exempt overtime pay from taxation; instead, it offers a narrow, post-withholding deduction that workers must calculate themselves, often without support from their employers or sufficient guidance from the IRS.The structure of the deduction is flawed: it only applies to the “half” portion of time-and-a-half pay and is capped at $12,500. For lower-wage workers to take full advantage, they must clock extraordinary amounts of overtime—something not feasible for many. Meanwhile, employers are actively disincentivized from helping employees understand or claim the benefit. If they report eligibility and make an error, they could face legal penalties, while doing nothing carries no risk. The system thus favors inaction and leaves employees to fend for themselves.Without clear W-2 guidance or safe harbor rules, the deduction becomes accessible primarily to those with tax professionals or payroll tools—functioning as a quiet subsidy for the well-advised. For others, it's a bureaucratic maze with limited reward. To prevent administrative failure, the IRS should at least provide a legal safe harbor for employers and model W-2 language. A more ambitious fix would be a flat-rate standard deduction for eligible workers, reducing complexity. Until then, this “relief” policy punishes transparency, discourages compliance, and places the greatest burden on those with the fewest resources.Trump Overtime Tax Break More a Political Tagline Than Tax ReliefDonald Trump filed a lawsuit in federal court in Miami seeking up to $10 billion in damages from the BBC, alleging defamation and violation of Florida's unfair trade practices law. The suit stems from an edited segment in a BBC Panorama documentary that combined parts of Trump's January 6, 2021 speech—specifically his calls to “march on the Capitol” and to “fight like hell”—while omitting language where he encouraged peaceful protest. Trump claims the edit falsely portrayed him as inciting violence and caused substantial reputational and financial harm.The BBC had previously admitted to an error in editing, apologized publicly, and acknowledged the clip could give a misleading impression. However, the broadcaster argues that there is no legal basis for the lawsuit. UK officials have backed the BBC's position, saying it has taken appropriate steps. Despite this, Trump's legal team claims the broadcaster has shown no real remorse and continues to engage in what they describe as politically motivated misrepresentation.The documentary in question aired before the 2024 U.S. presidential election and triggered significant fallout for the BBC, including the resignations of its top two executives. While the program did not air in the U.S., it was available via BritBox—a BBC-controlled streaming service—and possibly distributed in North America through licensing deals with Canadian firm Blue Ant Media.Legal experts say Trump faces a high bar in U.S. courts under First Amendment standards. He must prove not only that the edited content was false and defamatory, but also that the BBC acted with actual malice or reckless disregard for the truth. The BBC may argue that the content was substantially accurate and did not materially harm Trump's reputation. Other networks, including CBS and ABC, previously settled defamation claims with Trump after his 2024 election victory.Trump seeks up to $10 billion in damages from BBC over editing of January 6 speech | ReutersU.S. law school enrollment surged 8% in 2025, reaching a 13-year high with 42,817 first-year students, according to new data from the American Bar Association. The increase follows an 18% rise in law school applicants and continues a multi-year upward trend, fueled by a mix of economic uncertainty, political intensity, and a growing interest in legal careers. The sluggish job market for college graduates, coupled with the centrality of legal issues during Donald Trump's second presidential term, has contributed to renewed interest in law degrees.A significant number of prospective students also cited personal and social motivations. A survey of 15,000 LSAT takers found rising interest in using law degrees to “help others” and “advocate for social justice,” with both reasons seeing double-digit percentage increases over last year. The pool of LSAT test-takers has grown as well, signaling likely continued enrollment growth in 2026.Some elite law schools, including Harvard, enrolled their largest first-year classes in over a decade. However, the long-term outlook remains uncertain. Legal employment has been strong in recent years, with the class of 2024 posting record job placement, but experts warn that advances in artificial intelligence could reduce demand for new associates—particularly at large firms offering high salaries. Smaller sectors like government and public interest law may struggle to absorb excess graduates if hiring slows.US job market, politics fuel 8% surge in law school enrollment | ReutersDonald Trump's controversial plan to build a $300 million, 90,000-square-foot ballroom on the White House grounds is facing its first legal challenge in federal court. The National Trust for Historic Preservation has sued Trump and several federal agencies, alleging that the demolition of the East Wing to make way for the ballroom violated multiple preservation laws and bypassed required reviews. The group is seeking a temporary restraining order to halt ongoing construction, citing irreversible damage to the historic structure.Since returning to office in January, Trump has made high-profile aesthetic changes to the White House, including installing gold accents in the Oval Office and converting the Rose Garden lawn into a patio modeled after Mar-a-Lago. But the scale and visibility of the ballroom project has drawn particularly intense criticism, especially as heavy machinery was seen dismantling the 120-year-old East Wing.The lawsuit argues that no president, including Trump, has the unilateral authority to alter protected parts of the White House without following procedures involving public input and reviews by agencies like the National Capital Planning Commission and the Commission of Fine Arts.The administration defended the project as lawful, citing historical precedent and presidential authority to modify the executive residence. It emphasized that above-ground construction was not scheduled to begin until April, rendering emergency relief unnecessary. Still, the National Trust contends that public consultation and proper approvals are not optional and must be upheld regardless of the project's timeline or presidential status.Trump's $300 million White House ballroom makeover faces day in court | ReutersA federal judge has ruled that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) must extend the deadline for states to implement new immigration-related restrictions on food aid benefits under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The decision, issued by U.S. District Judge Mustafa Kasubhai in Oregon, came in response to a lawsuit brought by 21 Democratic-led states and the District of Columbia. The states argued they were not given adequate time or clarity to comply with the new rules, which were tied to President Donald Trump's domestic policy legislation passed in July.The USDA had initially set a November 1 deadline for states to comply with the restrictions, which limit SNAP benefits to U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents. However, the guidance issued on October 31 created confusion by implying that some lawful residents—such as those who entered the U.S. as asylees or refugees—were ineligible, contrary to what the law allowed. The USDA later revised the guidance, but still maintained the November 1 deadline.Judge Kasubhai extended the grace period for compliance until April 9, finding the original deadline arbitrary and harmful to state budgets. He noted that the USDA's sudden guidance rollout undermined states' ability to respond and eroded trust in federal-state cooperation. The ruling blocks the USDA from penalizing states that don't meet the earlier deadline while the lawsuit proceeds.USDA must give states more time to implement new food aid restrictions, judge rules | Reuters This is a public episode.

La Communauté économique des États de l'Afrique de l'Ouest « rejette catégoriquement le chronogramme de transition » en Guinée-Bissau. Lundi, l'organisation régionale a confirmé son désaccord avec la durée de la période d'exception proposée par les putschistes. La semaine dernière, la junte au pouvoir a adopté une charte de transition de 12 mois, jugée trop longue par la Cédéao. Dans son compte-rendu final, l'organisation a rappelé son intransigeance face au coup d'État militaire à répétition dans la zone, et s'est félicitée de la riposte régionale immédiate face à la tentative de putsch au Bénin. Le politologue béninois Mathias Hounkpe, membre de l'Institut électoral pour une démocratie durable en Afrique, livre son analyse. Il répond aux questions de Sidy Yansané. RFI : Dans son communiqué final, après la clôture du sommet, la Cédéao condamne fermement le coup d'État en Guinée-Bissau. Mais surtout, elle rejette catégoriquement le chronogramme de transition de douze mois, annoncé par la junte. Comment vous analysez cette position ? Mathias Hounkpe : Etant donné que personne n'avait rien à reprocher au processus électoral, ça veut dire que si on le veut aujourd'hui, même dans un délai de trois mois, au plus six mois, on peut organiser les élections. Et donc je pense que cette posture de la Cédéao est plutôt, de mon point de vue, la meilleure posture qu'elle pouvait avoir. C'est une posture qui diffère par rapport aux multiples coups d'État qu'on a pu constater dans la dernière décennie ? Pour les autres coups d'État, la Cédéao était plutôt dans la posture non seulement de condamnation, mais de négociation avec les auteurs des coups pour décider de la durée. Cette fois-ci, même si la durée fixée par ceux qui ont fait le coup d'État est relativement courte, la Cédéao estime quand même qu'il faut organiser les élections dans un délai encore plus court. Dimanche, à l'ouverture du sommet, le président de la Commission, Omar Alieu Touray, a affirmé que le coup d'État empêché au Bénin a montré concrètement l'importance de la solidarité régionale. Et pourtant, quelques jours avant, il concédait que la Cédéao était « en état d'urgence », notamment à cause des putschs à répétition… Ce qui s'est passé au Bénin, ça a été une surprise pour quasiment tout le monde. Nous ne sommes pas habitués à ce genre de réaction de la part de la Cédéao en cas de tentative de coup d'État. Donc le président de la Commission Omar Touray a été lui aussi obligé de reconnaître qu'il ne s'attendait pas à ce genre de réaction. Même s'il se contredit, les faits étaient si inattendus qu'il a dû en tenir compte dans son analyse lors du Sommet. Vous considérez que cette intervention militaire régionale illustre un nouveau paradigme de la Cédéao ? Ou alors c'est une exception, du fait de la proximité avérée du dirigeant béninois avec ses homologues nigérian, ivoirien et français, ce dernier ayant d'ailleurs reconnu avoir apporté un appui logistique ? Quand vous lisez le compte-rendu de cette session, la Conférence des chefs d'État et de gouvernement charge la Commission de la Cédéao de proposer un cadre permettant une intervention rapide en cas de coup d'État. Ça veut dire que même si le 7 décembre 2025 était une exception, désormais la Cédéao est consciente qu'il est possible, si on est préparé, d'intervenir rapidement pour empêcher les coups d'État d'aller à leur terme. En revanche, aucune mention des changements constitutionnels en série ou des opposants écartés lors des élections, comme en Côte d'Ivoire, en Guinée, au Bénin, pour ne citer qu'eux. Ce sont pourtant les principaux arguments qui sont utilisés par les militaires pour justifier leurs coups de force ? Quand je lis correctement le compte-rendu, je vois de manière implicite la reconnaissance par les chefs d'État et de gouvernement des problèmes dans la sous-région en matière de respect des droits humains et d'organisation d'élections inclusives et compétitives. Rappelez-vous des événements récents en Tanzanie. Ce n'était pas un coup d'État. On a parlé de plus de 700 morts dans les manifestations parce qu'une bonne partie de la classe politique a été exclue du jeu électoral et démocratique. Si l'on veut la paix et la stabilité de la sous-région, il faut non seulement condamner les coups d'État et prévoir des mécanismes pour les empêcher, mais il faut également éviter les situations où on pourra jouer avec les libertés et droits fondamentaux des citoyens et créer des conditions d'élections non inclusives et non compétitives. Pourtant, de manière explicite, la Cédéao prend note des élections passées en Côte d'Ivoire, celles à venir au Bénin et salue la présidentielle prévue à la fin du mois en Guinée, alors même que dans ces trois pays, des opposants d'importance ont été écartés, emprisonnés ou exilés. N'est-ce pas là une contradiction majeure ? Je dirais que la Cédéao cherche par des voies diplomatiques à dire les choses sans vraiment les dire. C'est très important d'avoir mentionné dans ce même compte-rendu le rejet des récents coups de force et la nécessité d'organiser des processus électoraux inclusifs et compétitifs. Je suis resté un peu sur ma faim, justement, car de la même manière que les dirigeants chargent la Commission de créer un cadre permettant une intervention rapide en cas de coup d'État, je me serais attendu à ce qu'ils la chargent également de prévoir des mécanismes permettant d'interpeller les pays dans lesquels on pratique l'exclusion en matière électorale et où on réprime les libertés et droits fondamentaux des citoyens.

Fin 2024, les agriculteurs français manifestaient contre l'accord de libre-échange entre l'Union européenne et le Mercosur, le marché commun sud-américain, qui réunit le Brésil, l'Argentine, le Paraguay, l'Uruguay et la Bolivie. A ce moment-là, on pensait toute proche la signature du traité entre les deux régions. Mais un an plus tard, c'est le statu quo : la signature n'a pas eu lieu, la Commission européenne espère obtenir l'accord des 27 Etats membres sur le projet d'accord et une nouvelle mobilisation d'agriculteurs est prévue à Bruxelles le 18 décembre.Alors qu'est-ce qui bloque ? La France, notamment. Car cet accord commercial doit permettre de faciliter l'exportation de produits européens comme les voitures, les spiritueux ou les machines, et l'importation de viande, de sucre, de riz ou encore de soja. Des produits qui font craindre aux agriculteurs européens une concurrence déloyale, car ne respectant pas les mêmes normes sanitaires, environnementales et sociales.Mais la France peut-elle à elle seule empêcher le vote du traité ?

Okay family, pull up a chair because we need to talk. Washington State recently became the third state in America to fund a reparations study for African Americans, and it should be a moment to celebrate. The Legislature allocated $300,000 in seed funding, and the Washington Equity Now Alliance — a community-based organization doing the real work — raised another $450,000 to ensure this sacred study is done right. Governor Ferguson signed the law that spells out who’s qualified to lead the study: a PhD focused on reparations, peer-reviewed publications, expertise in calculating uncompensated slave labor, and lived experience. So far, so good, right? But here’s where it gets messy. The Department of Commerce is creating its own procurement rules, and its decisions are now preventing the community from securing qualified consultants for this work. Somehow, an “apparent successful bidder” has been named – a company called Truclusion that doesn’t appear to meet ANY of the legal requirements got through the procurement process — while the nation’s leading reparations scholar, an UCLA endowed chair and Howard University department head who literally wrote a BOOK on Reparations, was denied due process on a technicality when he asked for his legal right to a debriefing. How is the state this incompetent with something this important? Sisters Audrey and Melannie sit down with Attorney Jesse Wineberry Sr. — former five-term state legislator, first Black House Majority Whip in Washington’s history, and Chair of WENA — to break it down, shed light on the matter, and invite the community to take action. Somethin’ ought to be said. What say YOU?

Le déséquilibre commercial entre la Chine et l'Union européenne atteint des niveaux records. Alors que Pékin redirige massivement ses exportations vers le marché européen, Bruxelles durcit le ton et assume un tournant plus protectionniste, au nom de la défense de son industrie et de sa sécurité économique. Le constat est sans appel. Le déficit commercial de l'Union européenne vis-à-vis de la Chine s'est envolé, atteignant près de 300 milliards d'euros cette année. L'Europe importe aujourd'hui deux fois plus de produits chinois qu'elle n'en exporte vers Pékin. Une situation dénoncée ouvertement par Emmanuel Macron. Ces derniers jours, le président français a évoqué un déséquilibre « insupportable », estimant que le continent européen est désormais confronté à une menace directe pour son tissu industriel. Cette dynamique s'est nettement accélérée depuis le durcissement de la politique commerciale américaine. Les droits de douane massifs imposés par les États-Unis ont poussé la Chine à rediriger une partie de ses marchandises vers d'autres régions du monde. Et dans ce contexte, l'Europe se retrouve en première ligne. À Bruxelles, l'inquiétude est palpable. La présidente de la Commission européenne, Ursula von der Leyen, parle désormais d'un « point critique » dans la relation commerciale entre l'Union européenne et la Chine. À lire aussiVisite d'Emmanuel Macron à Pékin: pourquoi la France veut désormais apprendre de la Chine Un « nouveau choc chinois » pour l'industrie européenne Les effets de cette montée en puissance des exportations chinoises se font sentir dans presque tous les secteurs. De l'automobile au textile, en passant par les jouets ou l'électronique, toute la chaîne industrielle européenne est sous pression. La guerre commerciale entre Pékin et Washington joue ici un rôle déterminant. Si les États-Unis ont réussi à freiner certaines importations chinoises, l'Europe apparaît comme la victime collatérale de ce bras de fer. Certains observateurs évoquent déjà l'émergence d'un nouveau « choc chinois », rappelant celui des années 2000, mais avec cette fois des secteurs à plus forte valeur ajoutée en première ligne. À cela s'ajoute un phénomène plus récent et particulièrement massif : le commerce en ligne chinois. Les plateformes comme Shein ou Temu expédient chaque jour des millions de petits colis vers l'Union européenne, souvent à très bas prix et en grande partie hors des circuits douaniers classiques. Bruxelles durcit le ton, au risque de représailles Face à cette situation, la Commission européenne a décidé de réagir. Vendredi, l'exécutif européen a annoncé son intention d'imposer une taxe de 3 euros sur les petits colis chinois à partir de juillet 2026. Une mesure d'urgence, destinée à limiter la concurrence jugée déloyale de ces produits et à protéger les commerçants européens. Mais ce n'est qu'un volet d'un changement de philosophie plus large. Après des décennies d'ouverture et de libre-échange, le protectionnisme n'est plus un tabou à Bruxelles. Trois grandes familles de mesures sont actuellement à l'étude. D'abord, la création d'un pôle de sécurité économique, chargé d'identifier les risques et d'anticiper les tensions commerciales. Ensuite, un encadrement plus strict des investissements étrangers, notamment chinois, avec des conditions sur les transferts de technologie et la production sur le sol européen afin d'éviter des investissements jugés prédateurs. Enfin, de nouveaux outils de défense commerciale, comme la taxation de produits fortement subventionnés par Pékin. Un pari risqué. En régulant davantage son marché, l'Europe s'expose à d'éventuelles représailles chinoises. Cela pourrait se traduire par une hausse des prix à l'importation, un impact sur l'inflation, mais aussi par une fragilisation des exportateurs européens si l'accès au marché chinois devenait plus difficile. Bruxelles avance donc sur une ligne de crête : se protéger face à une concurrence jugée déloyale, tout en évitant d'entrer dans une spirale de guerre commerciale incontrôlée.

The Infrastructure Commission wants all government business cases, budget submissions and advice about infrastructure investments made public by default. Political Reporter Russell Palmer has the story.

Tapis rouge dans le Point, cette semaine. Nicolas Sarkozy, souriant, est en Une, avec ce sous-titre : « Nicolas Sarkozy, le grand entretien ». Une longue interview, d'une dizaine de pages, dans laquelle celui qui vient de passer vingt jours en prison, et qui raconte ce séjour dans le Journal d'un prisonnier, est interrogé sur l'âge de la retraite, le pouvoir judiciaire, ou encore le christianisme. C'est Franz-Olivier Giesbert, l'éditorialiste du Point, qui mène l'interview avec enthousiasme et commence par cette question inattendue : « Aujourd'hui, dans votre situation, la solution la plus logique pour vous ne serait-elle pas de vous présenter à l'élection présidentielle afin de laver dans le suffrage universel l'affront de votre détention ? ». Nicolas Sarkozy répond que « techniquement, c'est impossible ». Il est en effet inéligible. Après cette interview, le Point revient d'ailleurs en détail sur « les batailles judiciaires » de l'ex-président. « Son procès en appel dans l'affaire libyenne s'ouvrira en mars », rappelle l'hebdomadaire, qui constate : « La promotion de son livre pourra le divertir, mais le répit sera de courte durée. Nicolas Sarkozy n'en a pas fini avec les juges, qui auront le dernier mot ». À lire aussiFrance: avec son livre, Nicolas Sarkozy «s'inscrit dans sa stratégie de défense médiatique» « J'ai prié » Le Canard enchaîné a lui aussi lu le Journal d'un prisonnier, et en livre un compte-rendu beaucoup plus caustique. « Merci, saint Nicolas ! », titre l'hebdomadaire satirique. « Nicolas Sarkozy, ironise le Canard, est sur le chemin de la sainteté. C'est ce qu'on comprend en lisant son Journal d'un prisonnier, qui raconte sa rédemption et la nouvelle vie qu'il compte mener désormais, loin des équipées chez Kadhafi, loin de ses liens sulfureux avec le Qatar, loin de l'affairisme pratiqué frénétiquement depuis son départ du pouvoir ». Le Canard enchaîné ne semble donc pas convaincu par les propos de Nicolas Sarkozy, qui dans son livre raconte notamment son rapport à la foi, quand il était en prison : « J'ai prié, assure l'ancien président, je priais pour avoir la force de porter la Croix de cette injustice ». Déclaration dont l'hebdomadaire satirique s'amuse en ces termes : « Dieu est partout à la prison de la Santé et il n'oublie pas la brebis égarée ». À lire aussiFrance: l'ex-président Nicolas Sarkozy raconte sa détention dans «Le journal d'un prisonnier» Ancien ministre En France, la fast-fashion est sur le banc des accusés. Et, cette fast-fashion se résume en un mot : Shein. C'est à la Une du Nouvel Obs cette semaine. L'hebdomadaire nous parle d'une « affaire d'État » et nous promet des « révélations sur un lobbying secret ». Car avant de faire office d'ennemi public numéro 1, en France en tout cas, « la plateforme qui reçoit un million de commandes par jour » a courtisé députés et ministres. Le Nouvel Obs s'en offusque : « Les dirigeants de l'enseigne de fast-fashion ont décroché de discrets rendez-vous à Matignon, pour faciliter leurs affaires en France. Plus dérangeant encore : des représentants bien introduits dans les cercles du pouvoir – l'ex-ministre de l'Intérieur, Christophe Castaner en tête – ont été grassement rémunérés pour défendre les intérêts du dragon de la mode instantanée ». « Que vient faire un proche du chef de l'État dans ce dossier alors que le Parlement est en train de légiférer ? », interroge le Nouvel Obs. En effet, en mars 2024, les députés sont appelés à se prononcer « sur une proposition de loi, déposée par le groupe Horizons, visant à réguler l'ultra fast-fashion ». BHV et taxe Shein Toutefois, le lobbying en faveur de Shein se heurte à la réalité. Avec tout d'abord, la désastreuse installation de la plateforme chinoise au très chic BHV à Paris, installation qui a fait fuir les marques de luxe, mais aussi les clients. Et, ce n'est pas tout : « La riposte s'organise enfin », s'exclame le Nouvel Obs : « L'État demande devant le tribunal judiciaire de Paris, la suspension du site pendant trois mois, pour avoir commercialisé des poupées à caractère sexuel d'apparence enfantine. Et, dans le cadre du chaotique débat budgétaire, les députés ont adopté une "taxe Shein" de deux euros ciblant les petits colis d'origine extra-européenne ». La partie n'est pas terminée pour autant. Shein s'active dans les coulisses à Bruxelles, « un ancien commissaire européen est à la manœuvre, l'allemand Günther Oettinger », explique le Nouvel Obs, qui reste méfiant et qui soupçonne Ursula von der Leyen de manquer de cran sur la question de la fast-fashion. La présidente de la Commission européenne serait « tétanisée à l'idée de provoquer une guerre commerciale avec la Chine ». À lire aussiFrance: «C'est le naufrage de l'année pour Shein et le BHV» Plaider l'humanité Enfin, l'Express s'inquiète pour Christophe Gleizes. Le journaliste sportif français, récemment condamné, en appel, à 7 ans de prison en Algérie, ne semble pas avoir bénéficié de l'éclaircie entre Paris et Alger, entrevue à l'occasion de la libération de l'écrivain franco-algérien, Boualem Sansal, le 12 novembre. « Alger a manifestement opté pour le cynisme », accuse l'Express, qui poursuit : « en se délestant de ses deux prisonniers politiques, le régime algérien se serait privé d'un levier utile dans ses négociations, notamment migratoires et mémorielles, avec la France ». « Tout espoir n'est pas perdu », assure toutefois l'Express : « La possibilité d'une grâce demeure entre les mains du président Abdelmadjid Tebboune. Il faudra plaider l'humanité ; Christophe Gleizes aimerait revoir sa grand-mère Georgette. Elle a bientôt 102 ans.»  À lire aussiCondamnation de Christophe Gleizes: «Nous sommes sous le choc de ce verdict», disent ses parents

It's Friday, December 12th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Canadian pastor released from prison with gag order Canadian Pastor Derek Reimer has been released from prison in Calgary, Alberta on strict conditions as he is still serving his one-year house arrest and two-year probation for objecting to a Drag Queen Story Hour for little kids in a 90-second, peaceful conversation with Saddletowne Library Manager Shannon Slater. Reimer is not allowed to use any form of social media. Plus, leftist government officials have actually restricted him from attending the Street Church in Calgary and The Remnant Church in Red Deer because his parole officer is scared he will “rally up the mob.” Pastor Artur Pawlawski of Street Church told The Worldview, “Pastor Reimer has been totally muzzled by the Canadian courts. He has been prohibited from talking with anyone including his family, his friends, churchgoers, or reporters. It's a total, Soviet-style gag order. If he talked to anyone about what is happening he will go straight back to prison.” Pawlawski knows first-hand about these kind of oppressive government tactics. He said, “I grew up behind the Iron Curtain. Communists muzzled the public.  If you dared to expose them by telling the truth, they would do a show trial, imprison you, and torture you. “ Not surprisingly, the Canadian judge insisted that any Biblical objection to the sinful lifestyle of transgenders and homosexuals on the part of Pastor Reimer would qualify as “hate speech.” Calgary Pastor Shawn Hamm said, “The courts in Alberta are corrupt and they have been turned into a political circus! The judicial system can use ‘hurt feelings' in the province of Alberta to try to silence Christians on our biblical beliefs. They are doing their best to silence Pastor Derek, but they cannot silence all of us!” Hamm added, “The Drag Queen Story Hour that is happening all across Canada must be exposed for what it is -- pervert grooming sessions that are happening in public spaces!” Learn more and help with Pastor Reimer's legal defense at www.SavePastorDerek.com. Jeffress: “None of the government's business” what pastors preach On Wednesday, Pastor Robert Jeffress of First Baptist Dallas had a message for  a White House religious liberty panel. JEFFRESS: “What I preach from the pulpit of the First Baptist Church of Dallas, or any pastor preaches from his church is none of the government's business.” (clapping) In testimony before the U.S. Department of Justice's Religious Liberty Commission, Jeffress shared their experience with the Internal Revenue Service during a controversial church tax inquiry in 2021 under former President Joe Biden. Jeffress' statement to the Commission included comments he initially shared with his congregation on Sunday, in which he recounted how the atheist legal organization Freedom From Religion Foundation filed a complaint with the IRS after former Vice President Mike Pence and then-HUD Secretary Dr. Ben Carson shared their faith testimonies of “how they came to know Jesus as Savior” at Jeffress' church in June 2020.  Jeffress said, “It's interesting that we did not hear anything from the IRS for 11 months. Then, four months after Joe Biden became president, on May 6, 2021, the IRS informed our church that they were initiating an inquiry into the tax-exempt status of our church because of our patriotic service.” He added that he does not endorse candidates from the pulpit, but “we encourage Christians to vote their biblical conviction.” Ironically, on November 1, 2020, the same day he addressed his church about the presidential race, President Biden was speaking at the Sharon Baptist Church in Philadelphia, where the former president and the church's pastor “openly encouraged members to vote for Biden while both men were standing in front of a campaign banner in the church.” Jeffress noted, “When we pointed out the contrast to the IRS between our non-endorsement policy and this church's flagrant disregard for the Johnson Amendment, the IRS officials conducting the examination had no response.” While the inquiry lasted more than a year, the IRS eventually acknowledged in July 2022 that First Baptist Dallas “did not engage in any improper political intervention or violate the U.S. tax code.”  Despite the favorable outcome, Jeffress said he wanted to testify before the Commission because while First Baptist Dallas could afford the legal fees, most churches could not — nor, he said, should they have to do so. Elon Musk affirms belief in Creator On The Katie Miller Podcast, billionaire Elon Musk revealed that he looks up to the Creator at the 12:37-mark of a nearly hour-long conversation, reports The Christian Post. MILLER: “Who do you look up to the most?” MUSK: “The Creator.” MILLER: “What's your current position on God?” MUSK: “God is the Creator.” MILLER: “You don't believe in God, though, do you?” MUSK: “Well, I believe those this universe came for something. People have different labels.” The comments from the Tesla and SpaceX founder are the latest in his publicly evolving views on God and faith. In response to a tweet from a user on X urging him to confess a Creator in May 2022, Musk wrote: "Thank you for the blessing, but I'm OK with going to hell, if that is indeed my destination, since the vast majority of all humans ever born will be there." Describing the reality of hell, Jesus said to those on His left, 'Depart from Me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.'"  (Matthew 25:41) Subsequently, in 2025, Musk urged his millions of X followers to go to church following the assassination of Charlie Kirk on September 10th.  He also attended Kirk's memorial in Glendale, Arizona on September 21st. 17 pro-lifers arrested for blocking Memphis Planned Parenthood abortion mill And finally, ten men and seven women spent a night in a Memphis jail on December 5th, after staging a peaceful protest in front of the Memphis, Tennessee Planned Parenthood abortion mill, reports LifeSiteNews.com. The protest was organized by “Rescue Resurrection,” a pro-life group planning “rescue” actions across the country. Those arrested included well-known figures in the pro-life movement: Randall Terry, founder of Operation Rescue; Joan Andrews Bell, a longtime pro-life advocate; Terrisa Bukovinac, director of Progressive Anti-Abortion Uprising; Nathan Berning, director of Let Them Live; and Dr. Monica Miller of Citizens for Life, among others. Exhausted from spending a sleepless night in an over-crowded holding cell with no beds, Randall Terry said that “this is a very small price to pay to stand up for the babies.” Video footage of the arrests captured by journalist Ford Fischer shows Terry, Bell, and other pro-life protesters being dragged away by police, because they went limp, before being transported to jail.  And there is video of Joan Andrews Bell, a sernior citizen, being carried away by three Memphis Police Officers. Bell was pardoned by President Trump after being sentenced to two years in prison for a prior abortion clinic blockade for which she was prosecuted under President Biden. No doubt they were inspired by Proverbs 24:11 which says, “Rescue those being led away to death;  hold back those staggering toward slaughter.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, December 12th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

It requires a nonrefundable $15,000 processing fee plus a “contribution” or “gift” of at least $1 million per individual (or $2 million via an employer sponsor), with additional amounts for dependents. The funds go to entities like the U.S. Department of Commerce, and applicants must prove a lawful source of money, similar to the EB-5 investor visa.  The process involves filing a new Form I-140G, followed by consular processing abroad—no in-country adjustment of status is allowed—and approvals can happen in weeks, though backlogs from per-country caps (especially for Indian or Chinese nationals) may still cause delays for the actual green card. This program is separate from the H-1B visa system, which remains a temporary work visa for skilled professionals with issues like annual caps (85,000 visas, including 20,000 for advanced degree holders), a random lottery selection process, and criticisms of abuse (e.g., companies using it to displace U.S. workers or suppress wages via outsourcing firms). In fact, alongside the Gold Card, the Trump administration introduced a separate $100,000 one-time entry fee for H-1B applicants to deter such abuses and ensure only “the best and brightest” use it. https://twitter.com/TheRubberDuck79/status/1998791717752062345?s=20  Autopen. https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1998407015756964343?s=20   to decide if it gets a floor vote. I hope they do the right thing. The Affordability Crisis Is Not a ‘Hoax.' It Is an Existential Threat to the American Dream.  Recently, President Trump has been quoted as referring to the affordability crisis as a “Democrat scam,” “hoax,” and “con job.” Although I think Trump was likely trying to remind Americans that policies enacted when Democrats had total control of the federal government under the first two years of the Biden administration accelerated and exacerbated the affordability problem, it is dangerous for the president to use that type of language. Already, mainstream media reprobates are twisting Trump's words, leading people to believe that he is saying the affordability crisis does not exist.  In proper context, Trump is not denying that middle- and lower-class Americans are struggling to make ends meet; rather, he is trying to assign blame and hang the affordability crisis on the Democrats. But even doing that is politically unwise.  The American people are not nearly as concerned with pointing fault as they are with seeking immediately viable solutions to the untenable reality they face. For many Americans, the affordability crisis is so severe that they think the American dream is no longer within reach. In fact, only 22 percent of young Americans think they will be better off than their parents.

The Code Conduct is a document agreed upon by social media companies for removing hate. The improved upon “Code of Conduct Plus” continues to be an important tool under the DSA: “On 20 January 2025, the revised Code of conduct on countering illegal hate speech online + (the ‘Code of conduct+') was integrated into the regulatory framework of the Digital Services Act (DSA), following a positive assessment from the Commission and the European Board for Digital Services. The Code of conduct+, which builds on the Code of Conduct adopted in 2016, strengthens the way online platforms deal with content deemed illegal hate speech according to EU law and Member States' laws. It facilitates compliance with and the effective enforcement of the DSA in this specific area.” This new Conduct Code+ was established as a “DSA Code of conduct”. This empowered civil society organisations to act as watchdogs. “Following its integration, adherence to the Code of conduct+ may be considered as an appropriate risk mitigation measure for signatories designated as Very Large Online Platforms (VLOPs) and Search Engines (VLOSEs) under the DSA.” “The DSA classifies platforms or search engines that have more than 45 million users per month in the EU as very large online platforms (VLOPs)” https://twitter.com/emd_worldwide/status/1998556257251152246?s=20   letter confirms the details of that action.

During her appearance on Wednesday on Fox News’ Outnumbered, Kirk was asked about the accusations and claims floated by podcasters like Candace Owens and others surrounding the assassination of the late co-founder of Turning Point USA, including speculation about where Charlie is buried. No rock will be unturned. I want justice for my husband, for myself, for my family more than anyone else out there. “My silence does not mean that I’m complacent,” Erika continued. “My silence does not mean that somehow Turning Point USA and all of the handpicked staff that loved my husband and that my husband loved them is somehow in on it. We are busy building.” Erika said she understands a lot of the noise is people trying to find answers to the horrific killing of her husband, and made it clear no “rock will be unturned. I want justice for my husband, for myself, for my family more than anyone else out there.” Kirk said she does have a breaking point, though, and it’s when influencers and others go after those she loves, like her family, her Turning Point USA family, and her Charlie Kirk Show family. “When you go after the people that I love, and you’re making hundreds and thousands of dollars every single episode, going after the people that I love because somehow they’re in on this… NO!” Erika said, as the host Harris Faulkner pointed out, she’d never seen Kirk like this before. “This is righteous anger because this is not okay, it’s not healthy,” she added. “This is a mind virus… but this is not okay. But just know your words are very powerful, and we are human.” “My team are not machines and they’re not robots, they are human,” Erika continued. “We have more death threats on our team and our side than I have ever seen. I have kidnapping threats. I have…you name it, we have it. And my poor team is exhausted, and every time they bring this back up, what are we supposed to do, relive that trauma all over again?”  .

Trump has sought to dismiss Slaughter, a Democrat appointed by former President Joe Biden, since March. The court also agreed to consider whether presidents may dismiss FTC commissioners without cause. In the meantime, Slaughter will not be allowed to remain in office.

Importing voters is a CERTAIN path to a single-party supermajority and has ALREADY happened at the state level in California and New York.

Moreover, Trump faces unique challenges in an intransigent Deep State and an array of rogue judges, neither of which any other President has faced at this scale. Nevertheless, in less than a year Trump has kept more of his campaign promises than any other President since FDR. Some of you people need to wise up. There is no Government Fairy.

It suppresses voter enthusiasm, suppresses voter turn out, and creates exactly the barren ground that Leftists have come to expect from a conservative movement that seems determined to fail at every turn even when it is winning. *versus* 2. “I am so happy that we have made so much progress. Trump has done amazing things in a short period of time against unprecedented institutional resistance. We are winning and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel for the restoration of our Constitutional republic. Nevertheless, there is much to be done. President Trump and the true conservatives in Congress need our enthusiastic, vocal support. We must keep the pressure on the eGOP, the Democrats and the lying media. This is a tough battle, but we will win.” THAT my friends is a message of victory. It too becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy as it inspires the voting base yet does not ignore the work yet to be done. It’s winning. ————————— Allow me to paraphrase Napoleon Bonaparte: “In politics, the moral is to the physical as three is to one.” _________________________ In other words, why don’t you knock it off with them negative waves, Moriarity. https://twitter.com/Avis_Liberatum/status/1998829654241694036?s=20 https://twitter.com/MattMorseTV/status/1998541820285145219?s=20    and for America itself. In all fairness, the Democrats have been doing Redistricting for years, and continue to do so. Unfortunately, Indiana Senate “Leader” Rod Bray enjoys being the only person in the United States of America who is against Republicans picking up extra seats, in Indiana's case, two of them. He is putting every ounce of his limited strength into asking his soon to be very vulnerable friends to vote with him. By doing so, he is putting the Majority in the House of Representatives, Washington, D.C., at risk and, at the same time, putting anybody in Indiana who votes against this Redistricting, likewise, at risk. The people of Indiana don't want the Party of Sleepy Joe Biden, Kamala, Ilhan Omar, or the rest to succeed in Washington. Bray doesn't care. He's either a bad guy, or a very stupid one! In any event, he and a couple of his friends will partner with the Radical Left Democrats. They found some Republican “SUCKERS,” and they couldn't be happier that they did! Guys like Failed Senate Candidate Mitch Daniels, who I opposed in his Race against Senator Jim Banks, and Cam Savage, whoever that is, are fighting against the Republican Party, all the way. Bray and his friends are the favorite Republicans of Hakeem Jeffries, Crazy Nancy Pelosi, and Cryin' Chuck Schumer. Anybody that votes against Redistricting, and the SUCCESS of the Republican Party in D.C., will be, I am sure, met with a MAGA Primary in the Spring. If Republicans will not do what is necessary to save our Country, they will eventually lose everything to the Democrats. Rod Bray and his friends won't be in Politics for long, and I will do everything within my power to make sure that they will not hurt the Republican Party, and our Country, again. One of my favorite States, Indiana, will be the only State in the Union to turn the Republican Party down! Master Messenger: Trump Goes Full MAGA at Pennsylvania Rally, Hands GOP the 2026 Talking Points The master messenger is at it again, this time handing the GOP the 2026 midterm talking points directly. During a rally Tuesday evening in Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania, President Trump reminded both Republicans and Democrats of just how savvy a messenger he can be when energizing his base. He crushed former President Joe Biden and his administration for overseeing the runaway inflation we are still battling today. He discussed his efforts to bring higher wage jobs to American workers, not illegal aliens. He dismantled Obamacare, highlighting high costs and the trillions in taxpayer dollars given to insurance companies instead of the American people. President Trump went full MAGA. The  message was clear: Republicans, take this message and run with it during the 2026 midterm election cycle. President Trump tore apart Obamacare. He is tired of insurance companies lining their pockets with Obamacare subsidies, and stated once again that he wants that money sent directly to the American people. Imagine being able to use your own money to purchase health insurance instead of those dollars going straight to the insurance companies? For Republicans in 2026, this is a smart policy that could excite the base in an election cycle where President Trump is not on the ballot. Healthcare across America, in many cases, is unaffordable and frustrating. This is certainly an area where the GOP can make up ground with sound policy ideas. President Trump has essentially closed our southern border by the sheer power he wields through the executive branch. The administration has now moved to tackle illegal immigration within our borders, in regards to both deportations and American jobs taken by illegal aliens.  Since President Trump took office, 100 percent of all net job creation has gone to American citizens. That is an amazing statistic that every GOP House and Senate member should be touting on the campaign trail. Not for nothing, but President Trump is also clearly tired of immigrants coming to America who do not care to fully assimilate or share our values. President Trump also announced a permanent pause on third-world migration, “including from hellholes like Afghanistan, Haiti, Somalia, and many other countries.” This is a very smart and, frankly, important policy. During the recent off-year election cycle, many Americans learned for the first time how many third-world immigrants have infiltrated major American cities. This is a winning message and one the GOP should carry into 2026. Finally, the deadly drugs have got to stop flowing into this country. President Trump has taken lethal action that is sure to have every drug boat planning to bring drugs to America second-guessing that decision. For some Republicans who support Trump’s policy but have struggled to properly communicate the importance to their constituents, the president simplified the issue for the entire party.

Il a "remercié" les députés qui soutiennent son gouvernement et ont voté le texte "parfois éloigné de leurs propres convictions", alors que les députés Horizons se sont majoritairement abstenus, ne soutenant pas la suspension de la réforme des retraites concédée aux socialistes, ainsi que les Républicains bien que plus partagés.Les députés ont donc voté ce mardi pour le budget de la Sécurité sociale, à 13 voix près, offrant un soulagement certain au gouvernement. De son côté, le Projet de loi de finances (PLF), rejeté à l'Assemblée nationale le 21 novembre, est encore en discussion au Sénat. La France a un budget 2026, ou presque. L'Assemblée nationale a voté la partie dépenses du Projet de loi de finances de la Sécurité sociale (PLFSS) par treize voix d'écart. Cela devrait se traduire par un déficit de la "Sécu" limité à 19,6 milliards d'euros en 2026. Parmi les mesures phares du projet, il y a effectivement la suspension de la réforme des retraites, le congé de naissance, qui sert l'objectif de "réarmement démographique" d'Emmanuel Macron, ou encore une surtaxe exceptionnelle sur les mutuelles.Dans une récente tribune aux Echos, Michel Barnier avait indiqué qu'il ne voterait pas ce budget. "On ne doit jamais marchander l'équilibre et la pérennité de notre modèle social au prix de petits calculs politiques irresponsables et de courte vue", estime-t-il. "L'esprit de compromis ne doit pas conduire à tout céder, à tout brader", a-t-il ajouté. Dans C dans l'air l'invité, il réagira au vote du budget de la Sécurité sociale, survenu hier soir à l'Assemblée.
