Podcasts about Toulon

Chris and Paul Grayson bring you reaction from Dublin as La Rochelle stun Leinster (again) to win the Champions Cup. Hear from Ronan O'Gara after another titanic tussle between the two teams in a final and his thoughts on the prospect of coaching Ireland. But where did it go wrong for Leinster after they raced into a 17-0 lead after 12 minutes? Leo Cullen joins the pod to explain. We also reflect on the Challenge Cup final after Toulon outclassed Glasgow, and the surprise retirement of Alun Wyn Jones.

Chris and Ugo dissect a big weekend of semi-finals in the Premiership and URC. Sale reached their first Premiership final in 17 years and face serial finalists Saracens. It means for the second successive year it will be Ford v Farrell in the big dance at Twickenham. There was a big shock in the URC as Munster toppled Leinster thanks to Jack Crowley's late drop goal. How will this impact Leinster heading into this weekend's Champions Cup final. And our special guest this week is Sergio Parisse who talks Italy, World Cups, leadership and life in Toulon ahead of their meeting with Glasgow in the Challenge Cup final.

N°297 / 14 Mai 2023.Connaissez-vous notre site ? www.lenouvelespritpublic.frUne émission de Philippe Meyer, enregistrée au studio l'Arrière-boutique le 11 mai 2023.Avec cette semaine :François Bujon de l'Estang, ambassadeur de France.Béatrice Giblin, directrice de la revue Hérodote et fondatrice de l'Institut Français de Géopolitique.Nicole Gnesotto, vice-présidente de l'Institut Jacques Delors.Michaela Wiegel, correspondante à Paris de la Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.COMMENT LA DETTE A DISPARU DU DÉBAT PUBLICSelon les données de l'Insee publiées le 28 mars, la dette publique française a atteint 2.950 milliards d'euros fin 2022, soit 111,6 % du produit intérieur brut (PIB). Au rythme auquel l'État multiplie les dépenses, l'endettement des administrations publiques devrait franchir le seuil symbolique des 3.000 milliards dans le courant de l'année 2023. L'État n'a plus présenté un seul budget à l'équilibre depuis 1974 et le déficit public poursuit une ascension constante, avec une forte accélération à partir de la décennie 2000. Les administrations publiques françaises se sont endettées de 635 milliards sous Nicolas Sarkozy, un quinquennat marqué par la crise financière. La dette s'est ensuite creusée de 396 milliards avec François Hollande. La situation s'est détériorée de 700 milliards sous Emmanuel Macron, pour beaucoup en raison de la crise sanitaire du Covid-19. Un sondage de l'Ifop pour Acteurs publics, EY et l'Observatoire des politiques publiques révélait en novembre 2021 que 81 % des Français jugeaient le niveau d'endettement « inquiétant ». Pour autant, la maîtrise des dépenses publiques a totalement été éclipsée du débat politique lors de l'élection présidentielle qui s'est tenue au printemps 2022 et ne fait pas depuis l'objet de vifs débats.Le gouvernement compte aujourd'hui accélérer le désendettement de l'économie française en ramenant le ratio de la dette rapportée au PIB de 111,6 % du PIB à la fin de 2022 à 108,3 % en 2027, en dopant l'activité et en créant plus d'emplois. Pour réduire la dépense, Bercy compte également sur l'extinction du bouclier tarifaire et la fin des chèques énergie pour les ménages. Enfin, la Première ministre Elisabeth Borne a envoyé une lettre de cadrage à chaque ministère qui devront réduire de 5% leurs dépenses sans toucher à la masse salariale.Le 28 avril, Fitch, l'une des quatre principales agences chargées d'évaluer la solvabilité des États, a abaissé d'un cran la note de la France, à AA – avec perspective stable. En cause, non seulement la trajectoire de dette et de déficit du gouvernement, jugée sujette à caution, mais aussi « l'impasse politique et les mouvements sociaux (parfois violents) » que connaît le pays, a indiqué l'agence. Dans son avis, Fitch précise s'attendre à une amélioration « modeste » du ratio français de dette rapporté au PIB, en raison de « déficits relativement importants et de progrès modestes dans la consolidation budgétaire ». L'agence craint une croissance plus faible et des dépenses gonflées par l'inflation. Ce faisant, elle enfonce un coin dans le programme de stabilité, ce document présenté le 26 avril en conseil des ministres et qui doit être envoyé à Bruxelles, afin de détailler le chemin que la France compte suivre pour revenir aux 3 % de déficit public à l'horizon 2027. La décision d'une autre agence de notation, Standard & Poor's est attendue début juin. L'agence avait prévenu, fin 2022, que la France serait sanctionnée si la dette ne diminuait pas d'ici 2025.***TENSIONS FRANCO-ITALIENNES ET NOUVEAU PACTE ASILE ET MIGRATION DE LA COMMISSION EUROPÉENNELe ministre français de l'Intérieur Gérald Darmanin a estimé, le 4 mai, que la Première ministre italienne d'extrême droite Giorgia Meloni était « incapable de régler les problèmes migratoires sur lesquels elle a été élue ». Des propos qui ont suscité une nouvelle poussée de fièvre sur ce sujet qui empoisonne les relations diplomatiques entre les deux alliés, et provoqué l'annulation le même jour de la première visite à Paris du ministre italien des Affaires étrangères, Antonio Tajani. Celui-ci, jugeant ces propos « irresponsables », a exigé des excuses. Lors du conseil européen de mars Emmanuel Macron avait pourtant déclaré que les deux pays devaient agir ensemble par rapport à la nouvelle pression migratoire que subissaient l'Italie et l'Union Européenne. Une visite de Giorgia Meloni à l'Elysée était même envisagée pour la fin du mois de juin.En novembre, les deux pays avaient connu de fortes tensions lorsque le gouvernement Meloni, à peine au pouvoir, avait refusé de laisser accoster un navire humanitaire « Ocean Viking » de l'ONG SOS Méditerranée qui avait fini par être accueilli par la France à Toulon avec plus de 200 migrants à bord. L'épisode avait suscité la colère de Paris qui avait convoqué une réunion européenne pour que ce scénario inédit ne se reproduise pas. Selon le ministère italien de l'Intérieur, plus de 42.000 personnes sont arrivées par la Méditerranée en Italie cette année contre environ 11.000 sur la même période en 2022. Près de la moitié d'entre eux proviennent de pays francophones (Côte d'Ivoire, Guinée, Tunisie, Cameroun, Burkina Faso, Mali), selon le directeur général de l'Office français de l'immigration et de l'intégration, Didier Leschi.Les Européens sont d'accord sur le fait que les règles actuelles, datant de 2013 - le fameux « Règlement Dublin » - ne fonctionnent pas. La gestion des frontières extérieures, engorgée, repose sur une poignée de pays, les procédures d'asile ont des dizaines de milliers de dossiers en retard et il y a très peu de retours. Il y a deux ans, la Commission européenne avait présenté un « Pacte sur la migration et l'Asile », proposant notamment un plan de répartition entre les États membres proportionnellement à leur taille et leur économie, mais l'UE peine toujours à s'entendre pour l'adopter. Avec pour mot d'ordre : « l'équilibre entre solidarité et responsabilité », ce pacte asile et migration, que les Vingt-Sept veulent voir aboutir au plus tard début 2024, avant les européennes, pourrait aller de l'avant dans les prochaines semaines. Les eurodéputés ont, en effet, formellement donné leur feu vert le 20 avril au début des négociations avec les États membres. Et ce, avant même qu'un accord n'ait été trouvé sur tous les textes au Conseil.Pour l'heure, ce sont toujours les pays qui sont situés au sud de l'Europe qui doivent accueillir les embarcations de migrants et enregistrer les demandes d'asile de ces derniers.Vous pouvez consulter notre politique de confidentialité sur https://art19.com/privacy ainsi que la notice de confidentialité de la Californie sur https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Andy and Tom chat to Scotland captain and Edinburgh star Jamie Ritchie and Toulon coach Richie Gray as Glasgow prepare for the European Challenge Cup final and Francesca McGhie reflects on the Women's Six Nations campaign.

Ugo, Danny and Chris wrap up Champions Cup semi-final weekend after impressive wins for Leinster and La Rochelle, but who made the bigger statement? There's also plenty of excitement about the Challenge Cup after Glasgow reached their first European final and will now face a star-studded Toulon in Dublin. We hear what it's like to party with Sergio Parisse in Paris, reflect on a memorable weekend at Twickenham and find out which F1 personality Danny is going to be at his end of season party.

The cards are put on the Tafel as the team pick their playoff contenders in the URC, Heineken Champions Cup, and Challengers Cup. Will Leinster withstand the Flying Fish in Dublin or will they be distracted by the prospect of La Rochelle? Will the Stormers rediscover their fizz against the flat Bulls in the shadow of Devils Peak? Will Glasgow's Castle withstand the storming of Toulon? Among these important questions, the team also discuss the latest post-Corona Draught results (#AdamsYear, for real this time), the future of the Springbok coaching staff after the Stella Nienaber, what will Razor Robertson's packed backroom do for the All Black Label, ,how will the Boks crack one open side in Kolisi's potential absence, have the great Hunters the Lions been banished to the Savanna and whether the Bulls are none the Budweiser. Also, please could a beverage come on board as a sponsor?

2023-04-08 Homélie de la veillée pascale - Eglise Don Bosco (Toulon) by Radio Maria France

La vie trépidante d'Eugène-François Vidocq aurait pu inspirer les romanciers populaires du XIXe siècle, comme Eugène Sue ou Ponson du Terrail, le père de Rocambole. Et, de fait, l'existence de cet homme, né en 1775, est bien celle d'un personnage de roman. Né dans une famille de la petite bourgeoisie, il subtilise les couverts en argent de sa famille et se retrouve en prison dès l'âge de douze ans. Cette leçon ne lui ayant guère servi, il vole l'argent de ses parents et fuit le domicile paternel. Il est alors embauché dans un cirque, où il joue les saltimbanques. Puis il s'engage dans l'armée, où il participe aux batailles de la Révolution, comme Valmy et Jemmapes. Mais Vidocq retourne vite à ses vieux démons. En 1796, il est à nouveau arrêté, cette fois-ci pour des activités de faussaire. Et ce n'est plus une prison ordinaire qui l'attend, mais le bagne, à Brest d'abord puis à Toulon. Mais il réussit à s'en évader plusieurs fois, ce qui lui vaut une flatteuse réputation dans les milieux de la pègre. Alors qu'il est arrêté une nouvelle fois, en 1809, il propose à la police de lui servir d'indicateur. Ses services lui valent une rapide promotion. Le préfet de police lui propose en effet la direction officieuse de la brigade de sûreté. Les agents de cette branche de la police parisienne, qui sont, pour l'essentiel, d'anciens repris cde justice, doivent infiltrer les bandes de malfrats qui écument alors la capitale. Et, dans son nouveau rôle, Vidocq fait merveille. Ancien délinquant lui-même, il a une excellente connaissance de ce milieu. Il jouit en outre d'une mémoire infaillible, qui lui permet de reconnaître, au premier coup d'œil, toute personne déjà rencontrée, fût-ce une seule fois. Quant à sa science du déguisement, elle lui évite d'être reconnu lui-même. En 1818, il est gracié par Louis XVIII et recouvre tous ses droits. Il démissionne de ses fonctions en 1827 et fait paraître, l'année suivante, des "Mémoires" promises à un grand succès. Il meurt en 1857. Learn more about your ad choices.

Today we're joined by a proper legend in Victor Matfield, a man who's represented his country 127 times, won the currie cup 3 times, the super rugby title 3 times, the tri nations twice and the world cup and is widely regarded as one of the greatest forwards in the history of the game. For the first time ever, he reveals his incredible story which started off with him scrapping with Bakkies Botha as teenagers and ended up with them being known as the greatest sporting partnership in the world. Victor doesn't leave anything behind in this incredible interview, taking us through his enjoyment in whipping young Springboks in their initiation and the tragic mistake he made with Mark Andrews before his very own, fighting Bakkies Botha because they hated each other initially, Punching Bizmark Du Plessis, beating the All Blacks with Barbarians and the hilarious stories on the piss that week, relives the physicality of the 2009 lions tour and reminisces on Simon Shaw being one of the most underrate players of all time, shares his memories of winning the world cup in 2007 (where he was man of the match in the final and player of the tournament), reveals the crisis meeting in detail that unfolded after their shock loss to Japan in 2015, constructs his greatest ever Springbok XV from players he played with during his 127 caps, explains his incredible memories from Toulon, why he retired and then decided to reverse that decision, why he hated his Northampton Saints experience due to Dorian West, plus much much more.... This is quite possibly our greatest ever guest, so sit back, relax and enjoy his yarns. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

RaeAnn Tucker from the Henry and Stark County Health Department joined Wake Up Tri-Counties live from the Health Department's 12 Communities in 12 Months event at the State Bank of Toulon in Toulon. The event is one of 12 stops in a planned series of events in 12 communities served by the Henry and Stark County Health Department. Today in Toulon the Health Department handed out free COVID-19 Test Kits, performed blood pressure checks and gave out information regarding Healthy Nutrition as part of National Nutrition Awareness Month. RaeAnn took a moment to talk with WKEI from the event to talk about the current COVID-19 numbers, which have held at around 48 new cases over the last few weeks. RaeAnn also discussed WIC and how it can help low income families struggling with the current inflation of food prices at the grocery store. 

Paris, bas du 9e arrondissement. On tourne à droite. Une petite rue aux immeubles cossus, on y est. Ronan Bouroullec, dont les dessins sont exposés jusqu'au 29 avril à l'hôtel des Arts de Toulon, nous reçoit dans son atelier, un grand espace « très calme avec une lumière formidable et une vue extraordinaire ». Le designer âgé de 51 ans évoque son enfance solitaire dans un petit hameau de Bretagne occupée notamment par le dessin, sa difficulté avec l'enseignement scolaire et le monde des adultes, sa découverte de l'architecture puis du design dans les magazines, son rapport à la couleur et aux objets, la philosophie derrière ses meubles de bureau conçus pour Vitra, le travail avec son frère Erwan, son obsession pour la vérification avec des maquettes à l'échelle, sa fascination pour Donald Judd, Vico Magistretti ou Shiro Kuramata et sa passion pour la gastronomie du Japon. Ronan Bouroullec revient aussi longuement sur l'importance qu'a pris Instagram dans sa vie et son travail : « Je l'utilise comme un journal. C'est une manière pour moi de montrer l'évolution du travail. On peut montrer le temps nécessaire entre le premier croquis et l'existence d'une chaise de manière suffisamment mystérieuse pour ne pas que ce soit copié. Pour moi, un objet est terminé quand la photographie est bonne. »Depuis quatre saisons, la journaliste et productrice Géraldine Sarratia interroge la construction et les méandres du goût d'une personnalité. Qu'ils ou elles soient créateurs, artistes, cuisiniers ou intellectuels, tous convoquent leurs souvenirs d'enfance, tous évoquent la dimension sociale et culturelle de la construction d'un corpus de goûts, d'un ensemble de valeurs.Un podcast produit et présenté par Géraldine Sarratia (Genre idéal) préparé avec l'aide de Diane Lisarelli et Imène BenlachtarRéalisation : Guillaume GiraultMusique : Gotan Project Hébergé par Acast.

La Méditerranée est une zone sous tension, entourée au nord par l'Union européenne et au sud par le monde arabo-musulman avec de profondes évolutions politiques le long de ses deux rives. Les paramètres sont nombreux: le rôle de la Turquie, d'Israël et du Liban, la présence navale américaine, la proximité de la mer Noire, du Caucase et de la Russie qui, depuis le début de la guerre en Ukraine, complique encore la donne géostratégique. Avec l'Amiral Pascal Ausseur, Directeur général de la Fondation Méditerranéenne d'Études Stratégique basée à Toulon, au micro de Frédéric Pfyffer. Photo: le Premier ministre du gouvernement libyen d'unité nationale Abdul Hamid Dbeibah (à droite) reçoit le Premier ministre italien Giorgia Meloni lors de sa visite à Tripoli, en Libye, le 28 janvier 2023.

N°282 / 29 janvier 2023Connaissez-vous notre site ? www.lenouvelespritpublic.frUne émission de Philippe Meyer, enregistrée au studio l'Arrière-boutique le 27 janvier 2023.Avec cette semaine :François Bujon de l'Estang, ambassadeur de France.Nicole Gnesotto, vice-présidente de l'Institut Jacques Delors.Marc-Olivier Padis, directeur des études de la fondation Terra Nova.Lucile Schmid, vice-présidente de La Fabrique écologique et membre du comité de rédaction de la revue Esprit. QUELLE POLITIQUE DE DÉFENSE ?A Toulon, le 9 novembre, le président de la République a présenté la nouvelle Revue nationale stratégique. Rédigée en urgence pour tirer des leçons du conflit en Ukraine, elle constitue une première étape avant les débats sur la prochaine loi de programmation militaire 2024-2030. Le document liste dix objectifs stratégiques pour la défense des intérêts français, du maintien de la crédibilité de la dissuasion jusqu'au renforcement de la résilience nationale. Les fonctions stratégiques consacrées à l'anticipation, la dissuasion, la protection, la prévention et l'intervention sont élargies à l'influence, en étroite coopération avec la diplomatie. Elles se déclinent notamment dans la modernisation de la dissuasion nucléaire, la capacité à conduire la guerre de haute intensité, l'affirmation comme un acteur cyber de premier rang, la riposte aux menaces hybrides, la résilience de la nation et la mobilisation de l'économie au service de la défense. Le président a énuméré les conditions nécessaires pour que la France reste une « puissance d'équilibres » qui ne soit « ni alignée ni vassalisée ». La République populaire de Chine est désignée très clairement comme la future puissance ennemie des Occidentaux, du fait de sa volonté de déstabiliser le leadership mondial occidental ainsi que la gouvernance mondiale. Désormais, la lutte anti-terroriste n'est plus la priorité numéro un, mais c'est le durcissement des armées en vue d'une possible participation à un conflit majeur qui dictera la prochaine loi de programmation militaire. En Afrique, la France veut changer de modèle pour n'agir qu'à la demande des autorités africaines et seulement en appui de leurs armées. Il s'agit de basculer les forces françaises vers l'Est, avec la volonté d'inscrire la France comme un partenaire de premier plan de l'OTAN et de l'Europe. Une page se tourne.Afin de mettre en œuvre cette stratégie, le 20 janvier, sur la base de Mont-de-Marsan, le Président a présenté les grandes orientations de la loi de programmation militaire (LPM). Les armées françaises bénéficieront d'un budget de 413 milliards d'euros (400 milliards de crédits budgétaires et 13 milliards de recettes extra-budgétaires), sur la période 2024-2030. Soit 40% de plus que l'enveloppe de la précédente LPM et une moyenne de 59 milliards d'euros par an consacrés aux dépenses militaires. « En 2030, le budget des armées aura doublé depuis 2017 », a tweeté le 20 janvier le ministre des Armées, Sébastien Lecornu. Afin de pouvoir anticiper et conserver une autonomie de décision, le président a promis une très forte hausse du budget alloué au renseignement militaire. Soit près de 60% sur la période 2024-2030. Emmanuel Macron souhaite en particulier la mise en place d'une stratégie nationale d'influence pour mieux protéger le pays contre les attaques hybrides, et notamment les attaques informationnelles. Il utilise le terme de « transformation » pour caractériser cette nouvelle LPM, après que la précédente (2019-2023) a été qualifiée de « réparation ».Le projet de loi de programmation militaire devrait être déposé courant mars à l'Assemblée nationale, en vue d'une adoption avant le 14 juillet.***LE RETOUR DU PROTECTIONNISMEAprès quarante ans de mondialisation, les Etats se mettent à protéger au niveau national des pans entiers de leurs industries et de leurs économies. Dès la crise de 2008, provoquée par une défaillance du système financier américain, les vieux réflexes protectionnistes avaient déjà refait surface. En 2013, les Chinois avaient programmé des centaines de milliards de dollars d'aide publique pour déployer, jusqu'en 2025, la chaîne complète de fabrication des semi-conducteurs de demain. Depuis trois ans, avec le Covid, la guerre en Ukraine, la transition climatique, un même mot d'ordre s'est imposé, de Pékin à Washington : celui de protéger les populations, mais aussi les marchés, des aléas extérieurs. Classiquement, le protectionnisme définit une politique qui vise à diminuer les importations. Le concept s'est élargi ces derniers temps jusqu'à embrasser toute mesure de soutien national dont l'augmentation des tarifs douaniers, la distribution de subventions, les mesures réglementaires ciblées, les politiques de soutien à l'industrie et à l'innovation... Avec un objectif principal : fabriquer soi-même les produits incontournables pour assurer croissance et souveraineté. Le prix à la consommation n'est plus l'unique critère du succès d'un service ou d'un bien. Les conditions de production comptent aussi notamment le souci de l'environnement, du maintien de l'emploi sur place, du raccourcissement des chaînes de production.Aux États-Unis, l'Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) de Joe Biden, visant à faciliter la transition énergétique, entré en vigueur le 1er janvier est doté de 369 milliards de dollars de subventions, de primes, d'exemption d'impôts pour les fabricants de batteries et de voitures électriques à condition qu'elles soient, les unes et les autres, assemblées aux Etats-Unis. Cette politique industrielle volontariste a suscité l'inquiétude des Européens, car l'IRA risque d'entraîner une diminution des exportations vers les Etats-Unis sur les produits aidés, une moindre attractivité de l'Europe en termes d'investissements étrangers et des délocalisations vers les Etats-Unis. A Bruxelles, une série de lois ont été adoptées contre les entreprises étrangères dopées aux subventions, contre la coercition économique, sur la réciprocité des marchés publics et sur la nécessité de protéger ses intérêts en cas de pénurie mondiale. On y parle désormais relocalisation, réindustrialisation, politique industrielle commune et même souveraineté économique. A Davos, le 17 janvier, la présidente de la Commission européenne a annoncé une législation sur une « industrie à zéro émission nette ». Elle a proposé la création d'un « fonds de souveraineté » européen qui permette l'accès de tous à des moyens comparables, y compris des « aides anti-délocalisation ». Pas question à ce stade de lever de nouveaux emprunts communs, après le plan de relance massif post-Covid à 750 milliards d'euros. Il s'agirait plutôt de recycler et de réorienter des reliquats de ce fonds, ainsi que des ressources du budget de l'UE. La Commission doit affiner ses propositions d'ici au début février et les chefs d'État et de gouvernements tenteront de trouver un accord lors d'un sommet extraordinaire les 9 et 10 février.Vous pouvez consulter notre politique de confidentialité sur https://art19.com/privacy ainsi que la notice de confidentialité de la Californie sur https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

2023-01-25 Chapelet - EHPAD Sainte Catherine Labouré (Toulon) by Radio Maria France

It's Wednesday, January 25th, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Pakistan's new law punishes Christians with 10-year prison sentence Last Tuesday, Pakistan's National Assembly passed a bill to make the country's blasphemy laws more stringent. Under the new bill, the person who insults Islam's false prophet Mohammed faces 10 years in prison and a fine of over $4,000. Pakistan's blasphemy laws already criminalize insulting Islam which carries a death sentence or life in prison. Religious minorities, including Christians, are concerned the new measure will be used to target them. Christian Solidarity Worldwide President Mervyn Thomas said the bill was “approved without debate by Pakistan's parliament despite the fact that existing blasphemy legislation has resulted in extra-judicial killings and countless incidents of mob violence based on false accusations.” Former homosexual pleads with nations to pray for his trial As The Worldview reported yesterday, a Christian charity worker in Malta, the island near Sicily, is facing criminal charges for allegedly discussing and advertising “conversion practices.” Last year, 33-year-old Matthew Grech told PMnews Malta about how he stopped practicing homosexuality after converting to Christianity. In the interview, Grech said, “I understood that in the Bible, homosexuality . . . is a sin. Just like every other sin, one can repent from it and ask God for forgiveness and ask Him for strength to overcome.”  Grech now faces trial on February 3. Malta was the first country in the European Union to ban so-called “conversion therapy” in 2016.  He said he hopes his case will overturn the ban. GRECH: “Joined with me in prayer, join with us here in Malta, that God would use the situation to overturn things and to revoke this evil ban on so-called ‘conversion therapy.' And that it would have a ripple effect across the nations, so that righteousness would prevail again.” Isaiah 61:11 says, “For as the earth brings forth its sprouts, and as a garden causes what is sown in it to sprout up, so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to sprout up before all the nations.” Thousands attend France's March for Life On Sunday, thousands of people took to the streets of Paris for the French March for Life. The annual event coincides with the anniversary of the country's legalization of abortion in January 1975. This year's march protested plans by the French government to legalize euthanasia and to include support for abortion in their constitution. America's explosive $31 trillion debt Last Thursday, the U.S. government hit its $31.4 trillion debt ceiling established by Congress. The Treasury Department implemented extraordinary measures to temporarily keep the government from defaulting on its debt while lawmakers debate terms for raising the limit. For decades, both Republicans and Democrats have been increasing the debt ceiling to finance wars, tax cuts, social security, emergency measures, and other federal spending.  Under Republican Presidents George W. Bush and Donald Trump, the national debt grew $12.7 trillion dollars. It has grown $13 trillion under the Democrat administrations of Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Parents concerned with children's potential anxiety A new report by Pew Research found that the top concern of U.S. parents is if their children struggle with anxiety and depression. When it comes to aspirations, most parents prioritize financial stability and job satisfaction for their children. Parents also said it was very important for their kids to be honest and ethical, hardworking, and helpful to those in need. However, very few parents said it was important for their children to share their own religious beliefs. Protestant parents were notably more likely to want their children to carry on their religious beliefs. Psalm 78:4 says, “We will not hide them from their children, but tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the LORD, and His might, and the wonders that He has done.” Oldest human alive today just died at age 118 And finally, Lucile Randon, known as Sister André, died at the age of 118 in the southern French city of Toulon last Tuesday. She was the oldest known person in the world at the time. The nun devoted her life to service, caring for children during World War II and spent decades supporting the elderly and orphaned at a hospital. She's lived under 18 French presidents, including President Emmanuel Macron who sent her a handwritten birthday note last year when she turned 118. Sister André not only survived the Spanish Flu pandemic in 1918 but also beat COVID-19 at the age of 116. Of course, the oldest person in world history was Methuselah, who died at the age of 969 according to Genesis 5:27.

Wade Draft Opinion The Supreme Court released a report stating that, after a months-long internal investigation, the leaker of a draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade last year couldn’t be identified. The leak shattered the image of the Supreme Court, which has long prided itself on maintaining proper decorum and on keeping as confidential the deliberations of the justices in cases argued before the court. The day after the leak, Chief Justice John Roberts said there would be an investigation. But despite his assurances, the unprecedented leak reportedly caused internal disruptions at the court and changed the atmosphere behind-the-scenes while giving rise to rampant speculation about the motives of the leaker or leakers. Some said the leak was intended to generate a public backlash that would intimidate the conservative justices into leaving Roe intact, while others speculated that it was calculated to pressure the conservative justices, who had already signaled a willingness to reverse Roe, to stay the course and actually do it. Supreme Court justices, including Justice Samuel Alito, who wrote both the draft and published versions of the opinion, previously described the leak of the document as a “grave betrayal.” In recent months, various justices said an update on the progress of the investigation was coming, but no updates followed until the formal release of the report. The leak was followed by months of raucous protests at the homes of the conservative justices in Maryland and Virginia, targeted harassment of justices in public by left-wing activists, and angry words in Congress. One man was arrested and charged with plotting to kill Justice Brett Kavanaugh. The report (pdf) on Supreme Court Marshal Gail Curley’s investigation was issued midday on Jan. 19. The Supreme Court ruled on June 24, 2022, in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization that there’s no constitutional right to abortion, overturning Roe v. Wade, the 1973 precedent that legalized abortion nationwide. The Dobbs ruling returned the regulation of abortion to the states. Five conservative justices voted to reverse Roe. Roberts, also considered a conservative, voted to uphold the restrictive Mississippi abortion law in question but wrote that he wouldn’t have overturned Roe. Three liberal justices issued a strongly worded joint dissent. Somehow, an early version of the draft majority opinion in Dobbs made its way to the media, a first-of-its-kind leak of a full high court opinion. Politico published the draft document, dated Feb. 10, 2022, on May 2, 2022, without disclosing its source. In the end, the draft document wasn’t much different than the official published opinion. The investigation itself is continuing, according to the report. https://thepostmillennial.com/trump-probably-coming-back-to-twitter-gop-source?utm_campaign=64487 Trump 'probably coming back to Twitter' Former President Donald Trump is looking to return to Twitter and Facebook. Trump, whose account was reinstated following the purchasing of Twitter by Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, has stuck to his own platform, Truth Social, despite his account's unsuspended status. A Republican with knowledge of private discussions on Trump's potential return to Twitter, who spoke with NBC News on condition of anonymity, said, "Trump is probably coming back to Twitter. It’s just a question of how and when. He’s been talking about it for weeks, but Trump speaks for Trump, so it’s anyone’s guess what he’ll do or say or when." Another person close to Trump told the outlet that Trump has sought input on his potential return to Twitter for weeks, and that his campaign advisors have been workshopping ideas for his first Tweet on the platform in over 2 years. Some Trump advisors said that the 2024 presidential hopeful could be limited in posting to other social media platforms since he founded Truth Social. A spokesman for Trump told NBC though that the campaign believes he would be able to return to Twitter as before. Trump was banished from the popular social media platform on January 8, 2021, two days after the Capitol riot on January 6. Trump previously said that he would not be returning to the platform and that he would stick to Truth Social. "Truth Social is through the roof," he said Talks of Trump's potential return to Twitter comes as Trump's campaign has petitioned for his Facebook account to be reinstated, as the account nears the end of it's two-year suspension. The Facebook ban, enacted on January 7, 2021, was for an initial period of two years, after which it would come up for review. https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-alec-baldwin-to-be-charged-with-involuntary-manslaughter-in-fatal-rust-shooting?utm_campaign=64487 Alec Baldwin to be charged with involuntary manslaughter in fatal Rust shooting On Thursday, prosecutors announced that they will charge Alec Baldwin and armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed with two counts each of involuntary manslaughter in the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on Baldwin’s Rust set. The announcement of the charge comes over two years after Alec Baldwin shot and killed 42-year-old cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injured director Joel Souza with a live round from a prop gun. According to CBS News National Correspondent Kris Van Cleve, Assistant Director David Hall "has signed a plea agreement for the charge of negligent use of a deadly weapon. The terms include a suspended sentence and six months probation." No charges were filed in connection to the shooting of Rust director Joel Souza, who was injured but survived. In a statement from New Mexico First Judicial District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies, she stated that her office will file criminal charges against the two by the end of the month. Involuntary manslaughter is a fourth-degree felony in the state of New Mexico, and carries an 18-month jail sentence and a $5,000 fine. Carmack-Altwies noted that "The other charge is involuntary manslaughter in the commission of a lawful act," which is also a fourth-degree felony carrying the same sentencing. In 2021, Baldwin had said in an interview with George Stephanopolous that he "didn’t pull the trigger," but a later FBI analysis concluded that he did in fact pull the trigger. It was found that the prop gun had been loaded with live rounds, and that the gun had misfired multiple times leading up to the fatal shooting. In April of 2022, New Mexico’s Occupational Health and Safety Bureau fined Rust Movie Productions $136,793, the maximum possible fine. The bureau also reportedly issued a "scathing narrative of safety failures in violation of standard industry protocols," which included testimony that the production’s managers took little to no action to address two previous misfires leading up to the fatal October shooting. They also documented numerous gun safety complaints brought forth by crew members that they say went unnoticed, and said that weapons specialists were not allowed to make decisions regarding additional safety training. The production’s head armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, had previously had a number of complaints lodged against her in regard to concerns over her careless handling of weapons. Gutierrez-Reed and her assistants had also been allegedly been playing with weapons on the set of Rust. Hutchins had reportedly been advocating for safer conditions for her team. In November of 2022, Baldwin launched a lawsuit against several crew members of the film for reckless and dereliction of duty. The suit named Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the chief armorer, Assistant Director Dave Halls, Prop Master Sarah Zachry and Seth Kenney, the gun supplier. The previous month, Baldwin settled with Hutchins’ family in a wrongful death suit. As part of the agreement, Matthew Hutchins, Halyna’s widower, will act as an executive producer when the film resumes production. In October 2022, it was revealed that Rust would resume production in January, but the production would not resume in New Mexico, according to Variety. https://www.foxnews.com/lifestyle/sister-andre-worlds-oldest-person-dies-118 Sister André, world's oldest person, dies at age 118 Lucile Randon, the French nun who was the world's oldest living person and the oldest person to survive COVID-19, died in her sleep on Tuesday, Jan. 17, at the Sainte-Catherine-Laboure nursing home in the town of Toulon. Randon was less than a month away from celebrating her 119th birthday, multiple outlets reported. Born on Feb. 11, 1904, Randon worked as a teacher, governess and child care provider before becoming a Catholic nun in 1944. After becoming a nun, Randon took the name "Sr. André." Randon was declared to be the "oldest person living (female)" and "overall oldest person living" following the death of 119-year-old Kane Tanaka of Japan on April 19, 2022, according to Guinness World Records. During her life, Randon spent nearly 30 years working with orphans and the elderly at a hospital in Vichy Randon told Guinness World Records that she enjoyed eating chocolate and other sweets as a "guilty pleasure" and had a glass of wine each day. She also credited her long life to hard work, telling French media in 2022 that she worked until she was 108 years old. Randon was what's known as a "supercentenarian" — someone who lives over the age of 110. The world's eight verified oldest living people are all women, according to the Gerontology Research Group's website. Four of the top eight were born in Japan, three were born in the United States, one was born in France and one was born in Brazil. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/01/18/tech-layoffs-microsoft-amazon-meta-others-have-cut-more-than-60000.html Microsoft, Amazon and other tech companies have laid off more than 60,000 employees in the last year The job cuts in tech land are piling up, as companies that led the 10-year bull market adapt to a new reality. Microsoft said Wednesday that it’s letting go of 10,000 employees, which will reduce the company’s headcount by less than 5%. Amazon also began a fresh round of job cuts that are expected to eliminate more than 18,000 employees and become the largest workforce reduction in the e-retailer’s 28-year history. The layoffs come in a period of slowing growth, higher interest rates to battle inflation, and fears of a possible recession next year. Here are some of the major cuts in the tech industry so far. All numbers are approximations based on filings, public statements and media reports: Microsoft: 10,000 jobs cut Microsoft is reducing 10,000 workers through March 31 as the software maker braces for slower revenue growth. The company also is taking a $1.2 billion charge. “I’m confident that Microsoft will emerge from this stronger and more competitive,” CEO Satya Nadella announced in a memo to employees that was posted on the company website Wednesday. Some employees will find out this week if they’re losing their jobs, he wrote. Amazon: 18,000 jobs cut Earlier this month, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said the company was planning to lay off more than 18,000 employees, primarily in its human resources and stores divisions. It came after Amazon said in November it was looking to cut staff, including in its devices and recruiting organizations. CNBC reported at the time that the company was looking to lay off about 10,000 employees. Amazon went on a hiring spree during the Covid-19 pandemic. The company’s global workforce swelled to more than 1.6 million by the end of 2021, up from 798,000 in the fourth quarter of 2019. Salesforce: 7,000 jobs cut Salesforce is cutting 10% of its personnel and reducing some office space as part of a restructuring plan, the company announced Jan. 4. It employed more than 79,000 workers as of December. In a letter to employees, co-CEO Marc Benioff said customers have been more “measured” in their purchasing decisions given the challenging macroeconomic environment, which led Salesforce to make the “very difficult decision” to lay off workers. Salesforce said it will record charges of $1 billion to $1.4 billion related to the headcount reductions, and $450 million to $650 million related to the office space reductions. Meta: 11,000 jobs cut Facebook parent Meta announced its most significant round of layoffs ever in November. The company said it plans to eliminate 13% of its staff, which amounts to more than 11,000 employees. Meta ’s disappointing guidance for the fourth quarter of 2022 wiped out one-fourth of the company’s market cap and pushed the stock to its lowest level since 2016. The tech giant’s cuts come after it expanded headcount by about 60% during the pandemic. The business has been hurt by competition from rivals such as TikTok, a broad slowdown in online ad spending and challenges from Apple’s iOS changes. Twitter: 3,700 jobs cut Shortly after closing his $44 billion purchase of Twitter in late October, new owner Elon Musk cut around 3,700 Twitter employees, according to internal communications viewed by CNBC. That’s about half the staff. Since then, significantly more employees have quit after Musk changed some policies around working from home and wrote that he expected all employees to commit to a “hardcore” work environment. In a tweet on Nov. 4, Musk said there was “no choice” but to lay off employees as the company was losing $4 million per day. https://www.boundingintosports.com/2023/01/philadelphia-flyers-ivan-provorov-stands-by-his-faith-refuses-to-wear-lgbtq-pride-night-jersey/ Philadelphia Flyers’ Ivan Provorov Stands By His Faith, Refuses To Wear LGBTQ+ Pride Night Jersey During the recent match between the Philadelphia Flyers and the Anaheim Ducks, one member of the Flyers did not wear the Pride Night themed rainbow warmup jersey meant to show support for the LGBTQ+ movement. Defensemen Ivan Provorov, a religious Christian and part of the Russian Orthodox Church, abstained from taking part in the compulsory-endorsement of beliefs that go against his faith. For his refusal, the Flyers put out a politically correct response before the online mob descended on them. The reports of Provorov’s refusal to wear the Pride Night jersey were confirmed by head coach John Tortorella, who unlike the statement released by the unnamed team spokesperson, praised the player for standing by his faith instead of throwing him under the bus. https://twitter.com/i/status/1615542361697787906 - Play Video Provorov did speak with the media where he affirmed his position not to take part in the LGBTQ+ propaganda. 1/17 PHI vs. ANA Postgame: Ivan Provorov- Play 0:00-0:16

In a statement from New Mexico First Judicial District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies, she stated that her office will file criminal charges against the two by the end of the month. Involuntary manslaughter is a fourth-degree felony in the state of New Mexico, and carries an 18-month jail sentence and a $5,000 fine. Carmack-Altwies noted that "The other charge is involuntary manslaughter in the commission of a lawful act," which is also a fourth-degree felony carrying the same sentencing. In 2021, Baldwin had said in an interview with George Stephanopolous that he "didn’t pull the trigger," but a later FBI analysis concluded that he did in fact pull the trigger. It was found that the prop gun had been loaded with live rounds, and that the gun had misfired multiple times leading up to the fatal shooting. In April of 2022, New Mexico’s Occupational Health and Safety Bureau fined Rust Movie Productions $136,793, the maximum possible fine. The bureau also reportedly issued a "scathing narrative of safety failures in violation of standard industry protocols," which included testimony that the production’s managers took little to no action to address two previous misfires leading up to the fatal October shooting. They also documented numerous gun safety complaints brought forth by crew members that they say went unnoticed, and said that weapons specialists were not allowed to make decisions regarding additional safety training. The production’s head armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, had previously had a number of complaints lodged against her in regard to concerns over her careless handling of weapons. Gutierrez-Reed and her assistants had also been allegedly been playing with weapons on the set of Rust. Hutchins had reportedly been advocating for safer conditions for her team. In November of 2022, Baldwin launched a lawsuit against several crew members of the film for reckless and dereliction of duty. The suit named Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the chief armorer, Assistant Director Dave Halls, Prop Master Sarah Zachry and Seth Kenney, the gun supplier. The previous month, Baldwin settled with Hutchins’ family in a wrongful death suit. As part of the agreement, Matthew Hutchins, Halyna’s widower, will act as an executive producer when the film resumes production. In October 2022, it was revealed that Rust would resume production in January, but the production would not resume in New Mexico, according to Variety. https://www.foxnews.com/lifestyle/sister-andre-worlds-oldest-person-dies-118 Sister André, world's oldest person, dies at age 118 Lucile Randon, the French nun who was the world's oldest living person and the oldest person to survive COVID-19, died in her sleep on Tuesday, Jan. 17, at the Sainte-Catherine-Laboure nursing home in the town of Toulon. Randon was less than a month away from celebrating her 119th birthday, multiple outlets reported. Born on Feb. 11, 1904, Randon worked as a teacher, governess and child care provider before becoming a Catholic nun in 1944. After becoming a nun, Randon took the name "Sr. André." Randon was declared to be the "oldest person living (female)" and "overall oldest person living" following the death of 119-year-old Kane Tanaka of Japan on April 19, 2022, according to Guinness World Records. During her life, Randon spent nearly 30 years working with orphans and the elderly at a hospital in Vichy Randon told Guinness World Records that she enjoyed eating chocolate and other sweets as a "guilty pleasure" and had a glass of wine each day. She also credited her long life to hard work, telling French media in 2022 that she worked until she was 108 years old. Randon was what's known as a "supercentenarian" — someone who lives over the age of 110. The world's eight verified oldest living people are all women, according to the Gerontology Research Group's website. Four of the top eight were born in Japan, three were born in the United States, one was born in France and one was born in Brazil. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/01/18/tech-layoffs-microsoft-amazon-meta-others-have-cut-more-than-60000.html Microsoft, Amazon and other tech companies have laid off more than 60,000 employees in the last year The job cuts in tech land are piling up, as companies that led the 10-year bull market adapt to a new reality. Microsoft said Wednesday that it’s letting go of 10,000 employees, which will reduce the company’s headcount by less than 5%. Amazon also began a fresh round of job cuts that are expected to eliminate more than 18,000 employees and become the largest workforce reduction in the e-retailer’s 28-year history. The layoffs come in a period of slowing growth, higher interest rates to battle inflation, and fears of a possible recession next year. Here are some of the major cuts in the tech industry so far. All numbers are approximations based on filings, public statements and media reports: Microsoft: 10,000 jobs cut Microsoft is reducing 10,000 workers through March 31 as the software maker braces for slower revenue growth. The company also is taking a $1.2 billion charge. “I’m confident that Microsoft will emerge from this stronger and more competitive,” CEO Satya Nadella announced in a memo to employees that was posted on the company website Wednesday. Some employees will find out this week if they’re losing their jobs, he wrote. Amazon: 18,000 jobs cut Earlier this month, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said the company was planning to lay off more than 18,000 employees, primarily in its human resources and stores divisions. It came after Amazon said in November it was looking to cut staff, including in its devices and recruiting organizations. CNBC reported at the time that the company was looking to lay off about 10,000 employees. Amazon went on a hiring spree during the Covid-19 pandemic. The company’s global workforce swelled to more than 1.6 million by the end of 2021, up from 798,000 in the fourth quarter of 2019. Salesforce: 7,000 jobs cut Salesforce is cutting 10% of its personnel and reducing some office space as part of a restructuring plan, the company announced Jan. 4. It employed more than 79,000 workers as of December. In a letter to employees, co-CEO Marc Benioff said customers have been more “measured” in their purchasing decisions given the challenging macroeconomic environment, which led Salesforce to make the “very difficult decision” to lay off workers. Salesforce said it will record charges of $1 billion to $1.4 billion related to the headcount reductions, and $450 million to $650 million related to the office space reductions. Meta: 11,000 jobs cut Facebook parent Meta announced its most significant round of layoffs ever in November. The company said it plans to eliminate 13% of its staff, which amounts to more than 11,000 employees. Meta ’s disappointing guidance for the fourth quarter of 2022 wiped out one-fourth of the company’s market cap and pushed the stock to its lowest level since 2016. The tech giant’s cuts come after it expanded headcount by about 60% during the pandemic. The business has been hurt by competition from rivals such as TikTok, a broad slowdown in online ad spending and challenges from Apple’s iOS changes. Twitter: 3,700 jobs cut Shortly after closing his $44 billion purchase of Twitter in late October, new owner Elon Musk cut around 3,700 Twitter employees, according to internal communications viewed by CNBC. That’s about half the staff. Since then, significantly more employees have quit after Musk changed some policies around working from home and wrote that he expected all employees to commit to a “hardcore” work environment. In a tweet on Nov. 4, Musk said there was “no choice” but to lay off employees as the company was losing $4 million per day. https://www.boundingintosports.com/2023/01/philadelphia-flyers-ivan-provorov-stands-by-his-faith-refuses-to-wear-lgbtq-pride-night-jersey/ Philadelphia Flyers’ Ivan Provorov Stands By His Faith, Refuses To Wear LGBTQ+ Pride Night Jersey During the recent match between the Philadelphia Flyers and the Anaheim Ducks, one member of the Flyers did not wear the Pride Night themed rainbow warmup jersey meant to show support for the LGBTQ+ movement. Defensemen Ivan Provorov, a religious Christian and part of the Russian Orthodox Church, abstained from taking part in the compulsory-endorsement of beliefs that go against his faith. For his refusal, the Flyers put out a politically correct response before the online mob descended on them. The reports of Provorov’s refusal to wear the Pride Night jersey were confirmed by head coach John Tortorella, who unlike the statement released by the unnamed team spokesperson, praised the player for standing by his faith instead of throwing him under the bus. https://twitter.com/i/status/1615542361697787906 - Play Video Provorov did speak with the media where he affirmed his position not to take part in the LGBTQ+ propaganda. 1/17 PHI vs. ANA Postgame: Ivan Provorov- Play 0:00-0:16

Wade Draft Opinion The Supreme Court released a report stating that, after a months-long internal investigation, the leaker of a draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade last year couldn’t be identified. The leak shattered the image of the Supreme Court, which has long prided itself on maintaining proper decorum and on keeping as confidential the deliberations of the justices in cases argued before the court. The day after the leak, Chief Justice John Roberts said there would be an investigation. But despite his assurances, the unprecedented leak reportedly caused internal disruptions at the court and changed the atmosphere behind-the-scenes while giving rise to rampant speculation about the motives of the leaker or leakers. Some said the leak was intended to generate a public backlash that would intimidate the conservative justices into leaving Roe intact, while others speculated that it was calculated to pressure the conservative justices, who had already signaled a willingness to reverse Roe, to stay the course and actually do it. Supreme Court justices, including Justice Samuel Alito, who wrote both the draft and published versions of the opinion, previously described the leak of the document as a “grave betrayal.” In recent months, various justices said an update on the progress of the investigation was coming, but no updates followed until the formal release of the report. The leak was followed by months of raucous protests at the homes of the conservative justices in Maryland and Virginia, targeted harassment of justices in public by left-wing activists, and angry words in Congress. One man was arrested and charged with plotting to kill Justice Brett Kavanaugh. The report (pdf) on Supreme Court Marshal Gail Curley’s investigation was issued midday on Jan. 19. The Supreme Court ruled on June 24, 2022, in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization that there’s no constitutional right to abortion, overturning Roe v. Wade, the 1973 precedent that legalized abortion nationwide. The Dobbs ruling returned the regulation of abortion to the states. Five conservative justices voted to reverse Roe. Roberts, also considered a conservative, voted to uphold the restrictive Mississippi abortion law in question but wrote that he wouldn’t have overturned Roe. Three liberal justices issued a strongly worded joint dissent. Somehow, an early version of the draft majority opinion in Dobbs made its way to the media, a first-of-its-kind leak of a full high court opinion. Politico published the draft document, dated Feb. 10, 2022, on May 2, 2022, without disclosing its source. In the end, the draft document wasn’t much different than the official published opinion. The investigation itself is continuing, according to the report. https://thepostmillennial.com/trump-probably-coming-back-to-twitter-gop-source?utm_campaign=64487 Trump 'probably coming back to Twitter' Former President Donald Trump is looking to return to Twitter and Facebook. Trump, whose account was reinstated following the purchasing of Twitter by Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, has stuck to his own platform, Truth Social, despite his account's unsuspended status. A Republican with knowledge of private discussions on Trump's potential return to Twitter, who spoke with NBC News on condition of anonymity, said, "Trump is probably coming back to Twitter. It’s just a question of how and when. He’s been talking about it for weeks, but Trump speaks for Trump, so it’s anyone’s guess what he’ll do or say or when." Another person close to Trump told the outlet that Trump has sought input on his potential return to Twitter for weeks, and that his campaign advisors have been workshopping ideas for his first Tweet on the platform in over 2 years. Some Trump advisors said that the 2024 presidential hopeful could be limited in posting to other social media platforms since he founded Truth Social. A spokesman for Trump told NBC though that the campaign believes he would be able to return to Twitter as before. Trump was banished from the popular social media platform on January 8, 2021, two days after the Capitol riot on January 6. Trump previously said that he would not be returning to the platform and that he would stick to Truth Social. "Truth Social is through the roof," he said Talks of Trump's potential return to Twitter comes as Trump's campaign has petitioned for his Facebook account to be reinstated, as the account nears the end of it's two-year suspension. The Facebook ban, enacted on January 7, 2021, was for an initial period of two years, after which it would come up for review. https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-alec-baldwin-to-be-charged-with-involuntary-manslaughter-in-fatal-rust-shooting?utm_campaign=64487 Alec Baldwin to be charged with involuntary manslaughter in fatal Rust shooting On Thursday, prosecutors announced that they will charge Alec Baldwin and armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed with two counts each of involuntary manslaughter in the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on Baldwin’s Rust set. The announcement of the charge comes over two years after Alec Baldwin shot and killed 42-year-old cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injured director Joel Souza with a live round from a prop gun. According to CBS News National Correspondent Kris Van Cleve, Assistant Director David Hall "has signed a plea agreement for the charge of negligent use of a deadly weapon. The terms include a suspended sentence and six months probation." No charges were filed in connection to the shooting of Rust director Joel Souza, who was injured but survived.
