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.

In Berlijn vindt overleg plaats tussen president Zelensky en Amerikaanse gezanten over een mogelijke vredesregeling voor Oekraïne. Zelensky is bereid het NAVO-lidmaatschap op te geven, mits er stevige veiligheidsgaranties van Europese en Amerikaanse zijde komen. Vandaag schuiven ook Europese leiders aan, zoals Friedrich Merz en Emmanuel Macron. De Amerikanen willen zien dat Oekraïne concessies doet. In Den Haag bivakkeren de top van D66, VVD en CDA met informateur Rianna Letschert op De Zwaluwenberg om de formatie vlot te trekken. Er is lichte spanning, vooral richting de VVD, en een ambitieuze deadline: op 30 januari moet een onderhandelingsstuk liggen, onder meer over de financiële onderbouwing. Vandaag ligt in de Tweede Kamer ook de strafbaarstelling illegaliteit op tafel, een punt dat de formatie extra onder druk kan zetten, vooral als het in de Senaat stuit op bezwaren.De Australische premier Albanese wil strengere wapenwetgeving na een aanslag op Bondi Beach waarbij zestien doden vielen.

Alors que la République démocratique du Congo et le Rwanda ont signé un accord de paix la semaine dernière à Washington, les attaques ont repris dans l'est de la RDC. Le groupe armé AFC/M23, soutenu par Kigali, a investi la ville d'Uvira. Cette intensification des combats s'accompagne d'un regain de désinformation sur les réseaux sociaux, à l'image d'un « deepfake » viral du capitaine burkinabè Ibrahim Traoré. À en croire une vidéo mensongère devenue virale sur les réseaux sociaux ces dernières heures, Ibrahim Traoré aurait longuement critiqué le président rwandais Paul Kagame. Durant plus de cinq minutes, on y voit le chef de l'État burkinabè, béret rouge sur la tête, parler devant un micro. On pense alors l'entendre dire : « Paul Kagame. Aujourd'hui, je parle au nom des millions d'Africains qui n'acceptent plus le sang versé et les mensonges répétés. Aujourd'hui, je ne parle pas seulement à un chef d'État, je parle à celui qui croit pouvoir manipuler les peuples et cacher la vérité derrière des sourires diplomatiques. Goma, Goma, une ville meurtrie, une région martyrisée par des guerres qui ne sont pas neutres. Et pourtant, vous, Kagamé, vous avez choisi d'être partie prenante de cette tragédie ». Les comptes qui partagent ce clip affirment qu'Ibrahim Traoré serait « très en colère contre son homologue rwandais pour son rôle dans la guerre à l'est de la RDC ». Détecter un deepfake En réalité, ce discours a été inventé de toutes pièces. Ibrahim Traoré n'a jamais prononcé ces mots. Nous avons consulté l'ensemble des canaux de communications officiels du pouvoir burkinabè et cette déclaration est introuvable. Il s'agit donc d'un deepfake, un hypertrucage généré par intelligence artificielle. L'image et le son ont été manipulés. Ce type d'outil permet de faire dire n'importe quoi à n'importe qui. En observant attentivement la vidéo, on remarque plusieurs incohérences visuelles. D'abord, la synchronisation entre ses lèvres et les mots qu'il prononce n'est pas parfaite. Il y a parfois un décalage de quelques secondes. De plus, on retrouve ce même défaut au niveau du mouvement de ses paupières. Enfin, il y a cet homme visible derrière Ibrahim Traoré qui ne bouge pas d'un pouce durant toute la déclaration. L'élément le plus parlant reste l'une des mains du capitaine burkinabè qui ne compte pas cinq mais six doigts. Ces anomalies sont difficiles à distinguer sur l'écran d'un smartphone. À lire aussiComment RFI démasque les «deepfake» ? Hypertrucages en série Ce n'est pas la première fois qu'un deepfake d'Ibrahim Traoré devient viral sur les réseaux sociaux. Nous avions déjà épinglé une vidéo similaire en octobre dernier, dans le cadre de l'élection présidentielle au Cameroun. Cette fois, on pensait entendre Ibrahim Traoré critiquer le régime de Paul Biya. Mais, là encore, c'était un deepfake. À lire aussiPrésidentielle au Cameroun: attention à ce deepfake d'Ibrahim Traoré Grâce à une recherche par image inversée, nous avons pu remonter la piste de ce deepfake. Le primo-diffuseur est une chaîne YouTube baptisée Rêves Panafricains. Au gré de l'actualité, ce compte diffuse presque quotidiennement des hypertrucages d'Ibrahim Traoré. On pense l'entendre s'adresser à Donald Trump, Emmanuel Macron, Vladimir Poutine ou encore Kylian Mbappé. En légende de ces vidéos, un texte indique bien que le contenu a été généré numériquement. Un message difficile à trouver et volontairement ignoré par ceux qui partagent ce clip sur les réseaux sociaux. Résultat, ces deepfakes d'Ibrahim Traoré cumulent plusieurs millions de vues.

Czy najnowsze posunięcia geopolityczne zmuszą Ukrainę do kapitulacji? W tym specjalnym komentarzu Radosław Pyffel, ekspert ds. geopolityki i stosunków międzynarodowych, analizuje najbardziej palące scenariusze dla wojny na Ukrainie. Przyglądamy się, czy światowi liderzy – od Władimira Putina i Donalda Trumpa po europejskich decydentów, takich jak Emmanuel Macron i Ursula von der Leyen – faktycznie pracują nad rozwiązaniem, które może oznaczać koniec prezydentury Wołodymyra Zełenskiego. Omawiamy wpływ ewentualnego powrotu Trumpa do Białego Domu na strategię Stanów Zjednoczonych wobec konfliktu oraz szanse na realne negocjacje pokojowe. Radosław Pyffel stawia prognozy na najbliższe lata, zastanawiając się, czy czeka nas zamrożenie konfliktu, czy też eskalacja działań militarnych, oraz jak na tę sytuację wpływa pozycja Unii Europejskiej.

Édouard Philippe a encore fait entendre une voix dissonante dans le bloc central à l'occasion du vote du budget de la Sécurité sociale. L'ancien Premier ministre avait déjà attaqué le président français Emmanuel Macron, il refuse désormais de soutenir Sébastien Lecornu sur le budget : Édouard Philippe joue une carte risquée. La carte jouée est risquée, mais s'inscrit dans sa stratégie de rupture avec Emmanuel Macron. Cette position a pris une autre dimension en octobre dernier quand il a évoqué la démission du chef de l'État comme une solution à la crise politique actuelle. Une déclaration choc, inattendue et largement critiquée. Pour un sénateur centriste, appeler à la démission du président, c'était mettre en cause les institutions et aller vers « un système révocatoire », rien de moins. Les sondages aussi ont sanctionné Édouard Philippe, sa cote de popularité a chuté à partir de cette déclaration. Personne n'a compris qu'il tienne un discours très proche des extrêmes, RN et LFI qui ne cessent de réclamer le départ du président. Même chez les socialistes, un élu capé a jugé sa sortie « maladroite et inopérante, car c'est un ancien Premier ministre et un candidat à la présidentielle ». À lire aussiÉdouard Philippe - Horizons : friture sur la ligne « Son objectif, c'est d'accélérer le calendrier » Alors pourquoi récidiver sur le budget ? Un député Renaissance a une explication. Édouard Philippe est selon lui dans « une position maximaliste » et va « au bout de la logique qui est d'arriver à une situation pourrie ». Une ancienne juppéiste, pragmatique, analyse la stratégie d'Édouard Philippe : « Son objectif est d'accélérer le calendrier. Un budget de la Sécurité sociale pas voté, c'est un risque de dissolution. » Une manière de dire qu'il faut prendre ses critiques sur un budget qui creuse les déficits, comme un produit d'appel électoral pour d'éventuelles législatives ou surtout la présidentielle. Lors de celles-ci, le maire du Havre pense qu'il pourra défendre une ligne politique claire et cohérente avec ses convictions. Sauf que selon la même source, les Français risquent de ne retenir que son appel à la démission du président, un sparadrap qui va lui coller aux basques. Édouard Philippe a-t-il tout faux ? Un ancien ministre macroniste constate que parmi les candidats potentiels du bloc central pour 2027, Édouard Philippe est « en avance en termes de "présidentialité" » et qu'il est vu comme « plus autonome de Macron » qu'un Gabriel Attal. Ce qui semblerait valider sa stratégie. Mais, un député Renaissance croit au contraire qu'Édouard Philippe doit prendre garde à ne pas multiplier « les sorties mal calibrées » : « Il est dans la même barque que nous. Ceux qui gagnent dans le désordre, c'est Jordan Bardella et Marine Le Pen », dit-il. À lire aussiPrésidentielle 2027 en France: l'ex-Premier ministre Édouard Philippe officialise sa candidature

Die F-35 Kampfjets werden teurer als geplant. Der Bundesrat hat deshalb entschieden, vorerst weniger als die geplanten 36 Kampfjets zu kaufen. Längerfristig will Verteidigungsminister Martin Pfister allerdings mehr Kampfjets kaufen. Wie geht das zusammen? Weitere Themen: Wenn eine Familie in der Schweiz einen negativen Asylentscheid erhält, muss sie die Schweiz verlassen. Falls sie aber nicht in ihr Herkunftsland zurück kann, gibts nur noch einige Franken pro Tag als Nothilfe. Diese ist eigentlich für drei Monate vorgesehen, wird aber oft zum jahrelangen Alltag. Frankreich führt ab 2026 einen freiwilligen Militärdienst für Französinnen und Franzosen zwischen 18 und 25 Jahren ein. Die Jugend sehne sich nach Engagement, so Präsident Emmanuel Macron. Wie sehen das die jungen Französinnen und Franzosen?

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.

Countries on the list include much of Europe, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Qatar, Israel, Chile and Brunei.

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.

[…] ‘I think they're weak', the Republican said, referring to the continent's presidents and prime ministers, adding, ‘I think they don't know what to do. Europe doesn't know what to do'.” “European Council President António Costa said Europe and the U.S. ‘must act as allies' — and urged the Republican leader to show ‘respect'.   Costa is an unelected bureaucrat – he was not ‘elected', he was ‘appointed' by the same Globalist leaders that are polling 11% to 23% in their countries.

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?”  .

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.

Avec Guillaume Naudin, chronique «La fabrique du monde» sur RFI.    RDC-Rwanda : Donald Trump peut-il faire pression sur Paul Kagame ?  Malgré l'accord de paix signé, il y a une semaine, à Washington par les présidents Felix Tshisekedi et Paul Kagame, les rebelles de l'AFC/M23, soutenus par le Rwanda, ont investi Uvira, la deuxième plus grande ville du sud-Kivu. Depuis deux jours, Congolais et Burundais demandent aux États-Unis de faire pression sur Kigali. De quels leviers dispose Donald Trump pour obliger son homologue rwandais à respecter l'accord de paix ? Alors que le Burundi est également sous la pression militaire du Rwanda, le conflit a-t-il un risque de s'étendre à la région ? Avec Henry-Pacifique Mayala, coordonnateur du Baromètre sécuritaire du Kivu, Kivu Security Tracker (KST), un projet de recherche sur la violence à Ebuteli, l'Institut congolais de recherche sur la politique, la gouvernance et la violence. Le KST documente et cartographie les incidents de violence dans l'est du Congo depuis 2017.    Droits de douane : Emmanuel Macron réussira-t-il à taxer les produits chinois ?  À peine rentré de son voyage officiel en Chine, Emmanuel Macron a mis en garde Pékin en évoquant la possibilité d'instaurer des droits de douane à l'échelle européenne sur certaines de ses exportations. Comment expliquer cette menace maintenant ? Quels secteurs pourraient être concernés ? Comment réagissent les autorités chinoises ?  Avec Clea Broadhurst, correspondante permanente de RFI à Pékin. 

On today's podcast:1) US forces intercepted and seized a sanctioned oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela, marking a serious escalation of tensions between the two countries. A senior Trump administration official referred to the ship as “a stateless vessel” that was last docked in Venezuela. Bloomberg News was first to report the seizure. The US action may make it much harder for Venezuela to export its crude, as other shippers are now likely to be more reluctant to load its cargoes. Most of the nation’s oil goes to China, usually through intermediaries, at steep discounts owing to sanctions risk. Brent futures edged higher after the news.2) A coalition of Ukraine’s allies will discuss a bid to move swiftly on President Trump’s peace proposal on Thursday as Kyiv’s forces carried out their first-ever attack on Russian Caspian Sea oil production. Leaders from more than 30 countries that are part of the so-called coalition of the willing group will hold a virtual meeting, their second this week, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said in a video address. Allies will discuss the state of peace talks and the latest draft plan that Ukrainian officials sent to Washington overnight, people familiar with the planning said. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz are expected to brief participants on an exchange they had with Trump on Wednesday.3) A market party after the Federal Reserve’s policy decision came to an abrupt halt within hours as a plunge in Oracle Corp.’s shares reawakened concerns over tech-stock valuations. Now investors are left to ponder whether they will still get a Christmas rally. The MSCI All Country World Index had been a whisker away from its peak before changing course, while gold snapped what would have been a three-day winning streak. The earlier gains were a reflection of enthusiasm following the Fed’s latest interest rate cut and Chair Jerome Powell’s upbeat assessment of the US economy. The upbeat mood faded after Oracle’s stock plunged on the company’s below-consensus sales and spending increase that rekindled worries over tech shares’ expensive valuations. That caused Nasdaq futures to slump as much as 1.6% and 10-year Treasury yields to drop by three basis points at one point.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's show Andrew and Bill begin with the news that the US is greenlighting the sale of Nvidia's H200 chips to the PRC market. Topics include: Dubious claims in Trump's Truth Social post announcing the news, searching for arguments in support of this policy change, the 25% of China revenue Nvidia will pay to the U.S. government, and waiting for Beijing's response, including how many U.S. chips Chinese companies will be allowed to buy. From there: The U.S. halts plans to sanction the MSS and its contractors, Japan seeks more support from the U.S., and the dynamics of “stability” come into focus. At the end: The December Politburo meeting, Emmanuel Macron's visit to China, an email about the West's willingness to build, and ‘Zootopia 2' becomes a sensation in China.

Alors que Paris s'est remis de la fièvre des JO de l'été de 2024 et que les athlètes français se préparent déjà pour les prochains Jeux Olympiques d'hiver de Milan-Cortina en février et mars 2026, le sport occupe encore et toujours le terrain médiatique et … bien sûr politique ! Qu'il soit question d'intégration, de santé publique, d'idéologie, de violence, de jeunesse, de racisme, ou encore d'argent, le sport se trouve au carrefour d'enjeux sociaux très lourds. Le sport est politique. C'est une certitude. Il est même une préoccupation jusqu'au plus haut sommet de l'État. On se souvient encore du Président de la République en personne, Emmanuel Macron, en 2022, descendant sur la pelouse du stade de football au Qatar pour consoler Kylian MBappé. Mais le sport est-il démocratique ? Cette question a été posée aux candidats à l'oral du concours de l'École Nationale de la Magistrature en 2025. Quelles connaissances étaient attendues, et surtout quelle réflexion, quelle hauteur de réflexion étaient attendues ? Alors pour essayer d'y voir plus clair, je reçois aujourd'hui un spécialiste des institutions politiques, enseignant de culture générale à la prépa ISP : Samir Hammal.

48 heures après le coup de force des militaires à Cotonou, « l'heure n'est plus seulement au soulagement, mais à l'autopsie d'une faillite sécuritaire et politique, relève Afrik.com. En effet, au-delà de l'échec opérationnel des mutins, cet événement marque une rupture : le "modèle béninois", cette exception démocratique (déjà écornée) dans une région sahélienne en feu, vient de montrer ses limites structurelles. « Depuis 2016, précise le site panafricain, le président Patrice Talon a opéré un changement radical de paradigme : sacrifier une part des libertés publiques et du pluralisme politique sur l'autel de l'efficacité économique et de la modernisation des infrastructures. Mais ce coup de force, bien que déjoué, suggère que ce pacte ne fait plus l'unanimité, y compris au sein des "corps habillés". La prospérité macroéconomique vantée par le régime ne ruisselle pas assez vite pour apaiser les frustrations sociales, et celles désormais affichées des militaires, affirme encore Afrik.com. En verrouillant le système électoral (à savoir l'exclusion de l'opposition radicale lors des législatives passées et les difficultés pour la présidentielle de l'année prochaine), le pouvoir a involontairement fait de la caserne le seul lieu de contestation possible. Lorsque l'urne est cadenassée, le fusil devient tentant. » Frustrations nombreuses En effet, renchérit Le Pays au Burkina Faso, « la question qui se pose est de savoir si Patrice Talon saura tirer les leçons de ce pronunciamiento avorté qui, après coup, apparaît comme un avertissement sans frais pour lui. La question est d'autant plus importante qu'au-delà des revendications des comploteurs, l'atmosphère sociopolitique reste teintée de souffre dans ce contexte préélectoral où, entre embastillement d'opposants et mise à l'écart du principal parti d'opposition, "Les Démocrates" de l'ancien président Boni Yayi, les frustrations sont nombreuses. Et ce, dans une ambiance où le président Talon est accusé de dérives autoritaires par ses contempteurs. » Le rôle de la France… Jeune Afrique pour sa part nous éclaire sur le rôle de la France lors de cette tentative de coup d'État. « Dès les premières heures dimanche, le président français a été informé de l'évolution de la situation. Emmanuel Macron et Patrice Talon ont échangé par téléphone au cours de la journée. Selon nos informations, poursuit le site panafricain, le chef de l'État français a fait savoir à son homologue béninois qu'il avait prépositionné à Cotonou des membres des forces spéciales de l'armée française, mises en alerte dès le début des événements. Emmanuel Macron a également joint le chef de l'État nigérian, Bola Tinubu, pour appuyer les demandes d'intervention formulées par les autorités béninoises. (…) Dans le même temps, révèle encore Jeune Afrique, les services de renseignements français ont apporté un appui technique aux Forces de défense et de sécurité béninoises, qui combattaient les mutins aux abords de la présidence, puis des studios de la chaîne de télévision nationale. Un avion de surveillance a notamment survolé la capitale béninoise à de nombreuses reprises durant la journée de dimanche. » Et Jeune Afrique de rappeler enfin que « la France et le Bénin sont liés par des accords de coopération militaire depuis 1977, qui sont très régulièrement mis à jour ». Davantage de coups d'États en Afrique ? Enfin, à lire dans Le Monde Afrique, cet entretien avec Achille Mbembe. Pour le philosophe et politologue camerounais, nous assistons à une crise du multipartisme en Afrique : « une "crise du multipartisme" et non une "crise de la démocratie", affirme-t-il, pour la simple raison que la quasi-totalité des pays du continent n'ont jamais rempli les critères élémentaires d'un État de droit. Dans les années 90, suite à la poussée protestataire contre les régimes autocratiques, des arrangements institutionnels découlant des conférences nationales avaient été mis en place, dont l'autorisation de partis d'opposition. Mais, tout cela n'était que de façade. » Et les institutions actuelles, estime encore Achille Mbembe, « ne sont pas prêtes pour traiter politiquement les conflits que génèrent les sociétés. Héritées dans la plupart des cas de l'époque coloniale, elles ont été conçues pour commander au lieu de dialoguer, pour réprimer au lieu de négocier. C'est ce qui explique le recours systématique à la violence. Tant qu'on ne s'attaque pas à ce système, il y a fort à parier que cette dynamique va se poursuivre. Et, conclut le philosophe et politologue camerounais, dans les temps à venir, nous allons à assister à davantage de coups d'État en Afrique ». 

Les députés ont adopté mardi de justesse le projet de budget de la Sécurité sociale pour 2026, une victoire majeure pour le Premier ministre, Sébastien Lecornu.

Die Franse president, Emmanuel Macron, sê sanksies wat die Europese Unie en Amerika die afgelope maande teen Rusland ingestel het, het tans ʼn groot uitwerking op Rusland se ekonomie.

We had to go in and clean up the mess for them. This is part of the continued cleanup.” “A lot of money has been transferred from the individuals who committed this fraud, including those who donated to the governor, donated to representative Omar and to AG Ellison.” “They have been transferred to something called MBSs.” “They are wire transfer organizations that are outside the regulated banking system. That money has gone overseas. We are tracking that, both to the Middle East and Somalia to see what the uses of that have been.” BRENNAN: “You have no evidence of that money being used to fuel terrorism at this point?

Basically, the EU said: stop booting people out before hearing their appeals. Hungary said no thanks. So now Brussels is punishing Hungary for not letting in enough migrants, mostly from Africa and the Middle East, while the rest of the continent watches. The European Court says it’s about “human rights.” Hungary says it’s about borders. You don't have to agree with Hungary to notice what's going on.

If it does not, it is legally considered a stateless vessel. A stateless vessel has no right to the protections normally afforded to ships under a national flag, including immunity from interference by other states. UNCLOS Articles 92, 94, 110, and customary maritime law spell out the consequences clearly: 1. Stateless vessels have no sovereign protection. A flagged ship is an extension of its flag-state's sovereignty. A stateless vessel is not. This matters because “war crimes” presuppose protected persons or protected property. A stateless vessel is legally unprotected. 2. Any state may stop, board, search, seize, or disable, a stateless vessel. UNCLOS Article 110 explicitly authorizes boarding and seizure. The law does not require states to risk their own personnel or assets while doing so. Disabling a vessel that refuses inspection, including firing on it, is legally permitted under both UNCLOS and long-established state practice. 3. War crimes require an armed conflict. You cannot commit a “war crime” outside an armed conflict. War crimes occur only within the context of international humanitarian law (IHL). Enforcing maritime law against a stateless vessel is a law enforcement action, not an IHL situation. No armed conflict = no war crime possible. 4. Lethal force may be used when a vessel refuses lawful orders. The International Maritime Organization's “Use of Force” guidance for maritime interdiction recognizes that disabling fire, even lethal force, is lawful when a vessel refuses lawful boarding, attempts to flee, poses a threat, or engages in illicit activities such as piracy or narcotics trafficking. Once again: law enforcement rules apply, not IHL. 5. Sinking a stateless vessel is not prohibited by UNCLOS. UNCLOS permits seizure of a stateless vessel and leaves the means entirely to the enforcing state so long as necessity and proportionality are respected. If the vessel flees, attacks, or refuses lawful commands, sinking it is legally permissible. Many states routinely do this to drug-smuggling vessels (e.g., semi-submersibles) without it ever being treated as a war crime. 6. No flag = no jurisdictional shield. The entire reason international law requires ships to fly a flag is to prevent this exact situation. Flagless vessels are legally vulnerable by design. Because a stateless vessel has no protected status, because UNCLOS authorizes interdiction of such vessels, because lethal force may be used in maritime law enforcement when necessary, and because war crimes require an armed conflict that is not present here, sinking an unflagged ship in international waters is not a war crime.

Reuters in its exclusive Friday report said that the United States “wants Europe to take over the majority of NATO’s conventional defense capabilities, from intelligence to missiles, by 2027, Pentagon officials told diplomats in Washington this week, a tight deadline that struck some European officials as unrealistic.” “The message, recounted by five sources familiar with the discussion, including a U.S. official, was conveyed at a meeting in Washington this week of Pentagon staff overseeing NATO policy and several European delegations,” the report continued. The directive was coupled with a warning behind the scenes, reportedly involving Pentagon officials cautioning representatives from several European nations that the US may scale back its role in certain NATO defense efforts if this target and deadline is not met.It was noted in the report that some European officials consider the 2027 goal unrealistic, saying that rapidly substituting American military support would demand far greater investment than current plans and NATO member approved defense budgets allow.

When the Democrats overwhelmingly lost the 2024 Presidential Election, and power with it, they, regardless, did everything they could to keep going after the Cuellar family. The Dems were vicious, and all because Henry strongly wanted, correctly, BORDER SECURITY! He was against illegals pouring into our Country, totally unchecked and unvetted. The Congressman didn't want gang members, drug dealers, violent prisoners, people from mental institutions and yes, even murderers, in the good ol' USA. It was all very unfair what they were doing to him and his family, so much so that his daughters wrote me a beautiful letter about their parents (Just posted on TRUTH!). After reading it I decided, in the interest of justice, and based on the daughter's loving request, that I would give Henry and Imelda a Full and Complete Pardon. I never spoke to the Congressman, his wife, or his daughters, but felt very good about fighting for a family that was tormented by very sick and deranged people – They were treated sooo BADLY! I signed the papers, and said to people in the Oval Office that I just did a very good, perhaps life saving, thing. God was very happy with me that day! THEN IT HAPPENED!!! Only a short time after signing the Pardon, Congressman Henry Cuellar announced that he will be “running” for Congress again, in the Great State of Texas (a State where I received the highest number of votes ever recorded!), as a Democrat, continuing to work with the same Radical Left Scum that just weeks before wanted him and his wife to spend the rest of their lives in Prison – And probably still do! Such a lack of LOYALTY, something that Texas Voters, and Henry's daughters, will not like. Oh' well, next time, no more Mr. Nice guy! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP    Trump hating, 60 Minutes “correspondent,” Lesley Stahl, who still owes me an apology from when she attacked me on the show (with serious conviction!), that Hunter Biden's LAPTOP FROM HELL was produced by Russia, not Hunter himself (TOTALLY PROVEN WRONG!), interviewed a very poorly prepared Traitor, who in her confusion made many really stupid statements. My real problem with the show, however, wasn't the low IQ traitor, it was that the new ownership of 60 Minutes, Paramount, would allow a show like this to air. THEY ARE NO BETTER THAN THE OLD OWNERSHIP, who just paid me millions of Dollars for FAKE REPORTING about your favorite President, ME! Since they bought it, 60 Minutes has actually gotten WORSE! Oh well, far worse things can happen. P.S. I hereby demand a complete and total APOLOGY, though far too late to be meaningful, from Lesley Stahl and 60 Minutes for her incorrect and Libelous statements about Hunter's Laptop!!!

The Department admitted altering evidence in the case following a reprimand from the judge. She called this an inadvertent mistake at the time. Ballantine also provided altered documents to Sidney Powell, and submitted an FBI interview report with redactions to information that was crucial to the case, according to En-Wikipedia.  When the US government threw out the case against  General Flynn, Ballantine declined to sign the motion to dismiss the charges against him. She is as crooked as they come. Jocelyn Ballantine was later assigned to the infamous Proud Boys Trial. Ballantine and the Biden prosecutors made up evidence, pressured the defendants to lie to the court, planted evidence in the Proud Boys chat group, and led the charge to send the innocent men to prison for over a decade each.   Source: thegatewaypundit.com https://twitter.com/TheStormRedux/status/1997495783168299481?s=20   a grand jury process, and we are issuing – I think we are up to like 75 of 100 subpoenas already – for witnesses.

Les discussions qui se déroulent aux États-Unis interviennent dans le cadre du plan américain visant à mettre fin à la guerre déclenchée voilà bientôt quatre ans par la Russie.

durée : 00:38:01 - Questions du soir : le débat - par : Quentin Lafay, Stéphanie Villeneuve - La semaine dernière, du 3 au 5 décembre, Emmanuel Macron s'est rendu en Chine afin d'y rencontrer son homologue le président Xi Jinping. Comment lire le dialogue sino-français malgré un déséquilibre bilatéral très net ? Emmanuel Macron s'illusionne-t-il sur la capacité de la France à négocier ? - invités : François Bougon Journaliste, responsable du service international de Mediapart; Emmanuel Lincot Professeur à l'Institut Catholique de Paris, chercheur associé à l'Iris et sinologue; Françoise Nicolas Conseillère du centre Asie de l'Ifri

L'idée a provoqué une levée de bouclier, en particulier à droite et à l'extrême-droite : Emmanuel Macron propose de labelliser les réseaux et les sites d'information qui respectent des règles déontologiques. Une manière, selon le président français, de lutter contre les fausses informations. Mais est-ce seulement la solution ? Est-ce qu'il y a un risque de dérive ? Comment mettre en place un tel label sans abîmer la liberté de la presse ? Pour en débattre - Thibault Bruttin, directeur général de Reporters sans Frontières (RSF) - Christophe Bigot, avocat spécialiste du droit de la presse - Alexandre Buisine, secrétaire général du Syndicat National des journalistes.

Soaring Chinese exports to the EU push the country's surplus beyond $1bn for the first time. Outbound shipments are up almost 6 per cent on the year with French President Emmanuel Macron threatening to slap tariffs on Beijing. Swiss lender UBS could soon benefit from the loosening of a banking regulation package which would otherwise require it to raise an additional $24bn in capital.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Vous aimez notre peau de caste ? Soutenez-nous ! https://www.lenouvelespritpublic.fr/abonnementUne émission de Philippe Meyer, enregistrée en public à l'École alsacienne le 7 décembre 2025.Avec cette semaine :Jean-Louis Bourlanges, essayiste, ancien président de la Commission des Affaires étrangères de l'Assemblée nationale.David Djaïz, entrepreneur et essayiste.Antoine Foucher, consultant, spécialiste des questions sociales, auteur de Sortir du travail qui ne paie plus.Nicole Gnesotto, vice-présidente de l'Institut Jacques Delors.LE NOUVEAU RAPPORT DE FORCE ENTRE LA CHINE ET L'EUROPEAu cours des douze derniers mois, l'Europe est devenue le premier excédent commercial de la Chine, devant les Etats-Unis. Il a atteint 310 milliards de dollars Depuis 2019, le surplus chinois vis-à-vis de l'Europe a presque doublé. Et tout porte à croire qu'avec les droits de douane de Trump, qui ferment en grande partie la porte du marché américain aux exportations de l'empire du Milieu, ce phénomène est appelé à s'amplifier et à durer. Cela traduit l'impressionnante montée en puissance de la Chine dans un grand nombre de technologies, notamment dans les industries vertes, sur lesquelles l'Europe se retrouve désormais, dans un renversement du rapport de force, en position de demandeur. Face à la Chine, sur le plan économique et commercial, l'Europe n'est plus naïve : elle filtre les investissements ; applique des droits de douane sur les biens bénéficiant de subventions à la production, comme les voitures électriques ; travaille à desserrer l'étau de sa dépendance en ressources de base, comme les terres rares et les aimants permanents ; elle prend des mesures commerciales fortes, comme les quotas qui s'appliqueront pour l'acier et l'inox au 1er janvier prochain. Elle se convertit à l'idée, très française, de préférence européenne notamment pour les achats publics. Début décembre, le commissaire Stéphane Séjourné a porté à Bruxelles un texte pour conditionner les investissements en Europe à des transferts de technologie. Ces mesures révèlent un changement de logiciel de la Commission européenne, dans un rapport de force de plus en plus tendu avec Pékin. La prise de conscience des vulnérabilités stratégiques européennes gagne des pays pour qui le libre-échange était auparavant l'alpha et l'oméga, comme l'Allemagne, les Pays-Bas ou les Scandinaves.Pour sa quatrième visite d'État en Chine depuis 2017, du 3 au 5 décembre, Emmanuel Macron, qui était accompagné en 2023 par la présidente de la Commission européenne Ursula von der Leyen, a été bien seul face à Xi Jinping. Les Chinois sont aujourd'hui en position de force dans presque tous les domaines. Les contentieux entre la France et la Chine s'accumulent. L'Ukraine en est l'exemple le plus patent, à l'heure où Donald Trump cherche à précipiter un accord de paix, au risque de s'aligner sur les positions de Vladimir Poutine : bientôt quatre ans après l'invasion russe, Pékin n'a jamais faibli dans son soutien diplomatique et industriel à l'effort de guerre russe. Le numéro un chinois a opposé une fin de non-recevoir à la demande du chef de l'État français de faire pression sur la Russie. Le président français a également pressé son hôte sur le front économique, en quête d'un grand « rééquilibrage » avec là aussi une réponse fuyante de l'« usine du monde », qui déverse ses surcapacités industrielles aux quatre coins de la planète.LE BLOC CENTRAL S'EFFONDRE-T-IL ?Le projet de loi de financement de la Sécurité sociale est revenu mardi en deuxième lecture à l'Assemblée nationale. Vendredi, les députés ont adopté son volet recettes pour 2026, par 166 voix pour et 140 contre. Paradoxalement, le gouvernement s'inquiète davantage des votes du bloc central (Renaissance, Modem, Horizons, et LR) que de ceux des oppositions. Or les députés du parti Horizons, présidé par Édouard Philippe, n'entendent pas voter pour ce texte qui « ne propose pas de réduction du déficit, repose sur de nouvelles mesures de fiscalité et ne propose pas de nouvelles mesures de réduction de dépenses », selon le patron du groupe à l'Assemblée Paul Christophe. Des gestes ont été faits, sur la Défense, ou le prix de l'électricité, mais ce coup de pression venant d'un parti qui compte trois ministres au sein du gouvernement Lecornu, est mal compris par ses partenaires. Une adoption du texte, le 9 décembre, serait un succès pour le Premier ministre, qui espère provoquer ensuite une dynamique favorable sur le projet de budget de l'État. Les incertitudes demeurent d'autant plus que l'amertume monte au sein du bloc central, après avoir dû concéder des mesures aux socialistes, dont la suspension de la réforme des retraites de 2023.À un an et demi du scrutin présidentiel, dans un bloc central affaibli par les divisions et avec l'impopularité du président sortant, aucun candidat « naturel » n'a pour l'heure émergé. Seul prétendant déclaré, l'ancien Premier ministre Edouard Philippe s'efforce de s'imposer comme le candidat de la droite et du centre et exclut de passer par une primaire. Après son appel à la démission du président de la République, un sondage est venu, depuis, ébranler son camp. Selon le dernier baromètre Odoxa publié le 25 novembre, pour la première fois au second tour, face à Édouard Philippe, Jordan Bardella recueillerait 53% des voix. Quoi qu'il en soit de la fiabilité d'un sondage de deuxième tour dont les sondeurs eux-mêmes soulignent la fragilité, en avril dernier, Édouard Philippe était donné vainqueur de Jordan Bardella au second tour, avec 54% contre 46%. Cette baisse dans les sondages affecte tout le bloc central, soulignent les philippistes, alors que les discussions budgétaires au Parlement s'enlisent. L'affaiblissement de l'ancienne majorité présidentielle dans les sondages serait selon eux le résultat d'une « succession de mauvais choix » d'Emmanuel Macron, lequel aurait « contaminé » les prétendants issus de son camp. « Ils ne mouraient pas tous, mais tous étaient frappés », résume l'eurodéputée Nathalie Loiseau, membre d'Horizons. Le patron du parti macroniste Gabriel Attal se réjouit en privé, de talonner le Havrais dans les sondages et croit de plus en plus pouvoir incarner l'espace central, dans l'esprit du « en même temps » de 2017, que réfute Édouard Philippe.Chaque semaine, Philippe Meyer anime une conversation d'analyse politique, argumentée et courtoise, sur des thèmes nationaux et internationaux liés à l'actualité.

CAFE stands for “Corporate Average Fuel Economy.” An easy definition, via the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, is a regulation: …[on] how far our vehicles must travel on a gallon of fuel. NHTSA sets CAFE standards for passenger cars and for light trucks (collectively, light-duty vehicles), and separately sets fuel consumption standards for medium- and heavy-duty trucks and engines. NHTSA also regulates the fuel-economy window stickers on new vehicles. Ending these regulations is part of complying with Trump’s “Unleashing American Energy” Executive Order and the [Transportation] Secretary's “Fixing the CAFE Program” Memorandum, according to the department’s homepage. On Wednesday, the president rattled off the investments in the United States that the auto companies have made since Trump 47 began in January. In one case, he cracked up the room by joking that they could do better than the billions of dollars they are promising: Trump added that it’s part of getting rid of more of the “Green New Scam,” too. https://twitter.com/townhallcom/status/1996322694099345577?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1996322694099345577%7Ctwgr%5E31d2137f89d95733dae2dffe91ce3f002937e448%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fredstate.com%2Fbeccalower%2F2025%2F12%2F03%2Fwatch-trump-signing-car-industry-eo-ending-burdensome-biden-regulations-n2196786 https://twitter.com/townhallcom/status/1996325044260085885?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1996325044260085885%7Ctwgr%5E31d2137f89d95733dae2dffe91ce3f002937e448%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fredstate.com%2Fbeccalower%2F2025%2F12%2F03%2Fwatch-trump-signing-car-industry-eo-ending-burdensome-biden-regulations-n2196786 Source: redstate.com https://twitter.com/WallStreetMav/status/1996587083012378947?s=20 https://twitter.com/profstonge/status/1996583802559136057?s=20 https://twitter.com/unusual_whales/status/1996582009460732232?s=20   to a seasonally adjusted 191,000, the lowest level since September 2022, with expectations of 220,000. https://twitter.com/WallStreetMav/status/1996431168883900552?s=20   fourth consecutive month-over-month decline.

Between 1897–1901 the United States had just become the wealthiest and highest-output economy on EARTH, surpassing the United Kingdom as the world's #1 manufacturing nation and #1 economy in total GDP By 1900 U.S. industrial production was roughly equal to that of Britain, Germany, and France COMBINED. Taxation without representation is unconstitutional and ILLEGAL. We, The People are now finally coming to grips with the illusions that have been installed around us our entire lives. Who is the FED? What is the FED? How did the FED come to fruition? What is the Titanic? Who was on the Titanic? What year? Those illusions are now dissolving. The “Golden Age of America” truly is among us. There is a plan to restore our country. Gods plan is playing out right now.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Blasts Los Angeles County After It Votes to Ban ICE Agents from Wearing Masks Los Angeles County's far-left Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to advance an unprecedented ordinance that would ban law enforcement officers, including federal immigration agents, from wearing masks while working in unincorporated areas of the county. The proposal passed 4-0, with only Supervisor Kathryn Barger abstaining. A final vote is scheduled for next week, and the ordinance would take effect in January 2026, according to the LA Times. Legal experts say federal immigration agents would not be required to follow a county mask ban. The county's top lawyer, Dawyn Harrison, has said she suspects the federal government will likely argue that the county law violates the Constitution, which states that federal law takes precedence over conflicting local statutes.  https://twitter.com/USAttyEssayli/status/1996040656733814854?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1996040656733814854%7Ctwgr%5E71ecedc2cdf5f5bfec40c6e10a4a461e8ffa25fd%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2025%2F12%2Fassistant-u-s-attorney-blasts-los-angeles-county%2F   by the media and local politicians.

The “war on narco-terrorists” that Secretary Hegseth is bragging about is being run on a legal foundation poured years before Trump ever touched the Oval Office desk. Obama normalized the presidential kill list. He campaigned in 2008 promising rule of law, transparency, and restraint. He delivered a tenfold increase in drone strikes; a White House “Terror Tuesday” meeting where officials literally flipped through PowerPoint slides picking who lived or died; and a legal doctrine allowing the president to kill U.S. citizens without trial, notice, or judicial review. That doctrine – once unthinkable – is now standard operating procedure. Obama's Director of National Intelligence openly admitted in 2010 that the administration was targeting Americans based on vague criteria like whether a citizen was “involved” in a group “trying to attack us.” That’s not evidence… that’s vibes. When civil-liberties groups sued to force the government to explain the legal basis, Obama declared the entire matter a state secret. Meaning: the president could now kill you, and no court was allowed to ask why. The judiciary rubber-stamped it. Both parties embraced it. And the public largely applauded it. Then came the Awlaki killings. Obama ordered the drone assassination of: •⁠ ⁠Anwar al-Awlaki, an American cleric •⁠ ⁠Samir Khan, an American citizen standing next to him •⁠ ⁠Awlaki's 16-year-old son, killed two weeks later at a café The White House smeared the kid as a “21-year-old terrorist.” The next week a birth certificate proved he was a Colorado teenager with zero ties to extremism. The administration shrugged. Obama famously told aides: “Turns out I'm really good at killing people.” And Washington – media, political class, and voters – rewarded him. Fast-forward to 2025. Trump isn't inventing anything new in Venezuela. He's using the exact precedents Obama left behind: Unreviewable executive kill authority, expanded definitions of “enemy combatant,” secret memos. No congressional oversight, no geographic limits, zero court supervision. Obama created the kill switch. Trump just slammed it. If you cheered the drone program when your guy was doing it, you already endorsed what’s happening now. If you let the government redefine due process as “whatever we decide in secret,” you already consented to the next president weaponizing that power. And if you normalize extrajudicial force abroad, eventually it comes home. Obama built the architecture. Trump moved in. And Venezuela is learning what happens when a precedent meets a president with fewer brakes  EU corruption scandal could take down von der Leyen – Politico A corruption probe into former EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini has thrown European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's position into jeopardy, with opponents preparing to turn the affair into a fresh push to remove her, Politico reported on Wednesday, citing officials in the bloc. Mogherini, who served as the EU's top diplomat from 2014 to 2019 and is now rector of the College of Europe, was detained on Tuesday. She was formally accused by the European Public Prosecutor's Office of procurement fraud, corruption, conflict of interest, and breaches of professional secrecy over an EU-funded diplomatic academy program. In the wake of the scandal, von der Leyen “is facing the starkest challenge to the EU's accountability in a generation,” with her rivals renewing calls for a new no-confidence vote, Politico reported. source:rt.com NATO Members Commit More Than $1 Billion to Purchase U.S. Weapons for Ukraine NATO officials from Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, and Poland pledged hundreds of millions more in U.S.-made weapons under the Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) scheme, Ukrainian media reported. Amid Russian gains on the battlefield, they insist Ukraine must be armed “to keep the fight going.” The alliance offered these commitments while being accused of attempting to sabotage peace talks. Canada, Germany, Norway, the Netherlands, Poland, and the U.K. all announced new contributions, pushing the total put toward U.S.-made weapons bound for Ukraine toward $5 billion this year alone. These newly allocated funds come at a time when many European governments, increasingly unpopular at home, are cutting domestic programs and warning of budget shortfalls. Source: thegatewaypundit.com Leaked Transcript of EU Conference Call with Zelenskyy Highlights Fear of Trump Securing Peace for Ukraine Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was in Paris talking to Emmanuel Macron last weekend while Rubio, Witkoff and Kushner were meeting with Ukraine officials in Florida.  This telephone call is reported to have taken place the following day, on Monday. French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy together with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre and European Council President António Costa held a conference call. A transcript of the call was leaked to Spiegel, a German news outlet. According to the narrative the assembled group of EU leaders were discussing how the Trump administration was going to betray Ukraine in order to get a peace deal with Russia. The gist of the narrative sounds accurate, though some of the EU leaders are denying the specifics of the wording used. The EU is very worried President Trump may formulate a peace agreement then present the final terms to Ukraine without the EU being involved in the construct of the details. The EU is opposed to any peaceful end to the conflict, because the EU and NATO have positioned their collective economies to only benefit if the military spending continues; they are backstopping their spending with the confiscated Russian assets.   Source: theconservativetreehouse.com   Medical/False Flags https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/1996567491334803864?s=20 [DS] Agenda https://twitter.com/WallStreetApes/status/1996550058809188740?s=20   “Ilhan and this group, they spent a lot of money” “So, the people that work for Ilhan (0mar) are actually counting the ballots, counting the vote?” “They (Ilhan Omar’s campaign staffers) become a manager, in the precinct too.” Somalians who don't speak English are also told out how to vote “They walk with you to the booth and then they vote.

It is on purpose. It is a feature, not a bug,” Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet J. Dhillon told the Just the News, No Noise television show on Wednesday night. “And the goal is to cram as many people on there and make voters who are not particularly engaged, make it easy for someone else to help them fill out their ballot and return it for them when they didn’t care enough to do it themselves,” she added. “What we can do at the federal government level is ensure that our federal election laws are observed, and that includes each state’s requirement to keep clean voter rolls,” she added. “That is a fundamental basic.” Dhillon spoke one day after her division filed lawsuits against six Democrat-run states — Maryland, Delaware, Rhode Island, New Mexico, Washington state and Vermont — seeking to compel them to turn over to the DOJ their voter rolls to be inspected for abnormalities, outdated names or noncompliant names. She also struck a deal last week with North Carolina to force it to review and fix over 100,000 voters’ names on rolls in that battleground state that were added without complying with state law. Dhillon said her office is now on track to force through litigation, settlement or voluntary efforts at least 26 states to clean up voter rolls. “We’re now in litigation with 14 states. So the six yesterday included Maryland, Delaware, Rhode Island, New Mexico, Washington State and Vermont. That adds to eight we already had going,” she said.
