Arsenal step away from Premier League pressure and into the FA Cup — and for 45 minutes, it looks effortless.In this episode of The Non-Negotiables Podcast, we break down the 4–0 win over Wigan Athletic, where four first-half goals settled the tie early and allowed Mikel Arteta to rotate heavily. We discuss the starting XI surprises, Calafiori's latest warm-up withdrawal, and the long-anticipated experiment of Bukayo Saka operating centrally.There's a deep dive into the first-half performance — Eze's influence, the combinations between Saka and Madueke, Martinelli's clinical finish, and Nørgaard's standout display. Was this simply lower-league opposition being exposed, or did we see tactical clues for the weeks ahead?We also assess the second-half slowdown, Gyökeres' introduction, and the home debuts for Salmon and Setford — moments that reflect squad depth and internal culture.From there, attention turns to the FA Cup draw. Mansfield away awaits, Manchester City travel to Newcastle, and the pathway opens slightly — but questions remain.Part two shifts into bigger concerns. We address Arsenal's mounting injury issues — recurring patterns, squad construction, recovery methods, and whether the modern game is shortening careers at the top level. Is this bad luck, load management, or something structural?Finally, we preview the trip to Wolves. With Odegaard and others doubtful, does Saka stay central? Is this the moment for a tactical pivot? And with Arsenal chasing control at the top of the table, is this simply a must-win — or a tone-setter for the run-in?All that, plus this week's “Who Am I?” featuring a 1971 double winner.Control restored — but bigger questions are building.Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables Intro(00:51) - FA Cup Context: Rotation & Calafiori Warm-Up Injury(03:47) - Saka Central?(06:01) - Eze's First-Half Influence(09:35) - 1–0 | Madueke Finished, Eze Assist(10:51) - 2–0 | Martinelli Rifles It Home(12:30) - 3–0 | Own Goal & Saka–Madueke Link-Up(15:25) - 4–0 | Jesus Scores, Nørgaard Delivers(17:36) - Second-Half Coast & Gyökeres Chance(19:15) - Home Debuts: Salmon & Setford(22:30) - Match Stats Breakdown(23:57) - FA Cup Draw: Mansfield Away & City at Newcastle(30:39) - PT.2 Who Am I?

La señera es el nombre genérico que se da a la bandera de los reyes de la corona de Aragón, esa es la razón por la que también se la denomina Señal Real. Es un motivo heráldico sencillo, compuesto por cuatro palos de gules sobre un campo de oro. Pero no nació para representar a un territorio geográfico concreto, sino como divisa personal de la casa real aragonesa tras la unión dinástica entre el reino de Aragón y el condado de Barcelona. Popularmente se conoce a la señera como la cuatribarrada, pero no son barras lo que tiene, sino palos o fajas en función de si se presentan en vertical u horizontal. No se sabe a ciencia cierta cuándo apareció ni quien empezó a utilizarla. Eso ha dejado el campo abonado para muchas hipótesis que se han ido elaborando en los últimos siglos. La leyenda más conocida es la de las cuatro barras de sangre de Wifredo el Velloso, que sitúa el nacimiento del escudo en el siglo IX. El origen de las cuatro barras rojas serían los dedos impregnados de sangre del rey de los francos sobre el escudo de Wifredo tras una batalla. Otra hipótesis, con mayor fundamento histórico pero sin confirmación documental, asocia los colores rojo y amarillo al vasallaje que prestó el rey Sancho Ramírez al Papa Alejandro II en el siglo XI. De ser cierta esta hipótesis, Aragón simplemente habría adoptado los colores que en aquel entonces empleaba el papado. Más allá de estas teorías las pruebas documentales revelan que a finales del siglo XII, coincidiendo con la expansión de la heráldica por toda Europa occidental, los monarcas aragoneses empezaron a utilizar la señal de forma continua. Pero no sería hasta el reinado de Pedro IV el Ceremonioso, ya en el siglo XIV, cuando se fijó definitivamente el número de cuatro palos y se estandarizó su uso por todos los territorios de la Corona. Esto llevó la señal real por buena parte del Mediterráneo. Posteriormente se integraría dentro de las armas del rey de España y, más tarde, en el tercer cuartel del escudo nacional. La señal real de Aragón ha dejado tras de si una profunda huella. Hoy la encontramos en las banderas de Aragón, Cataluña, la Comunidad Valenciana y las Islas Baleares, también en pueblos, ciudades y regiones de Francia e Italia. En última instancia, la señera es un pedazo de historia, un motivo heráldico compartido que recuerda la existencia de aquella pujante monarquía medieval.

Arsenal leave West London with a point — but far more questions than answers.In this episode of The Non-Negotiables, we break down the 1–1 draw at Brentford and ask whether Arsenal are drifting away from the identity that made them so dominant. With Manchester City applying pressure in the title race, this was a night that demanded control. Instead, it became another conversation about long balls, lost fluency, and a worrying lack of sustained chance creation.We analyse the starting XI, the impact of key absences, and how the tactical approach shaped the first half. Is “Long Ball FC” becoming more than just frustration? Are Arsenal overthinking matches against teams they should be imposing themselves on? And what does this style shift say about the manager's current priorities?There's a deep dive into the Eberechi Eze debate — recruitment vs role — and whether he's being used in a way that suits his strengths. Then we unpack the second-half momentum swing: Odegaard's introduction, the return of familiar patterns, and Madueke's header that briefly felt like the breakthrough moment.But control evaporated. We examine the throw-in equaliser, the defensive lapses, and the concerning injury situation around Odegaard. Why was he left on? What did it cost Arsenal structurally? And how much did fatigue and squad rotation play into the late chaos?We close Part 1 with the bigger picture — xG, chance creation trends, and the uncomfortable truth about title-winning standards. Can you win a league without a 20-goal forward? And what actually is Arteta's football right now?Part 2 covers managerial sackings across the league, concerns around Ethan's loan situation, another controversial VAR weekend in MW26, and a look ahead to the FA Cup tie against Wigan — a potential reset moment before Wolves.The title race isn't over. But identity, control and attacking clarity now feel like the decisive battlegrounds.Set Piece FC rolls on — but can Arsenal rediscover themselves in time?Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables Intro(01:01) - Brentford Context, Starting XI Reaction & Injury Concerns(03:03) - Long Ball FC Returns(09:00) - Eberechi Eze Debate: Role or Recruitment Issue?(14:27) - Half-Time Shift: Odegaard Changes the Game(16:59) - 0–1 | Madueke's Header & Momentum(19:28) - Back to Long Balls & Control Lost(21:08) - 1–1 | Throw-In Chaos & Odegaard Injury Scare(24:25) - Why Was Odegaard Left On?(27:51) - Late Chances(31:05) - Stats, Chance Creation & Title-Winning Standards(33:12) - Identity Crisis: What Is Arteta's Football?(36:21) - PT.2 Managerial Sackings: Spurs & Forest(41:23) - Ethan Loan Concerns(45:17) - VARse MW26: Chelsea, City & Officiating Standards(51:55) - Wigan FA Cup Preview(01:00:27) - Final Thoughts: February, Injuries & Title Belief

You also get a quick predicted XI discussion, who must start (Jones, Kerkez, youngsters like Rio and Neone), who needs a rest (Wirtz, Hugo), and the wider point: Liverpool need a proper statement win to rebuild confidence, especially against low blocks and physical sides.

Leave your name in the text!Hello and welcome to the Late Kick Off Football Podcast episode 193!In this week's Premier League review, we break down a dramatic round of midweek fixtures featuring key results in the Champions League race, mounting pressure in North London, and frustration at both ends of the table.We begin with a topsy-turvey game at Selhurst Park as Palace's bonkers season appears to have no end in sight (02:00), before looking at Man City's important win against Fulham (03:00), who continue to take a doing from the Citizens.It is then onto Sunderland versus Liverpool (05:00), where Virgil van Dijk's header from Mohamed Salah's corner secured a crucial three points. The result strengthened Liverpool's push for a top-four finish, in a match that made Premier League history as just the fourth to feature no English players in either starting XI.At Villa Park (08:00), Aston Villa left it late to beat Brighton thanks to Tyrone Mings' decisive header, extending Brighton's winless league run to 13 matches and boosting Villa's European hopes.Newcastle United claimed a close win away at Tottenham Hotspur (13:30), deepening Spurs' struggles. The defeat leaves Tottenham winless in eight league games and signals a turbulent period following Thomas Frank's departure.We also cover the relegation battle (29:00), where Nottingham Forest registered 35 shots in a goalless draw with Wolves that cost Sean Dyche his job, and Manchester United produced their lowest expected goals total of the season in a draw at West Ham (35:00).To round off the show, we discuss what Chelsea's stalemate with Leeds says about their defensive issues, despite generating 3.7 xG, and Bournemouth's growing momentum after coming from behind to beat Everton.Before the bin juice finale with the late game on Thursday against Brentford and Arsenal.All reviews, likes, shares and of course listens are hugely appreciated!

Post–Brentford (A) • Pre–Wigan (H), FA Cup 4th Round : “A point gained? A point dropped? A deeply annoying and frustrating night in West London.”Tabs is joined by Andy and Jamie for a debrief after Arsenal's bruising 1–1 draw away at Brentford — a match shaped by injuries, illness, physical chaos, and a performance that never quite settled. With Havertz ruled out the night before, Saliba sick, and several key players still missing, Arsenal arrived at the Gtech with a patched‑up XI and left with a point that feels… complicated.The trio break down the game's intensity, the lack of control in the first half, the impact of missing Havertz and Moreno, and why Brentford's long‑ball, second‑ball, high‑press approach caused so many problems. They also discuss Madueke's looping header, Rice's decision not to shoot, Gyökeres' movement, and the recurring theme of Arsenal conceding momentum immediately after scoring. The episode closes with a look ahead to the 4th Round FA Cup tie against Wigan and what Arsenal need to rediscover in the coming weeks.

President Xi Jinping has solidified control over China's military after firing his top general Zhang Youxia in an unprecedented military purge that has sent shockwaves through the country. The allegations against Zhang include corruption and a nuclear secrets leak. WSJ's Lingling Wei explains how this move potentially gives Xi more room to pursue his long-standing goal of reunifying with Taiwan. Jessica Mendoza hosts.

Trump moest en zou de Chinese invloed in twee strategische havens in het Panamakanaal terugdringen. En daar lijkt hij, tot grote woede van Xi, stilaan in te slagen. Moet Europa het voorbeeld van Trump volgen en China ook uit Europese havens weren? “We are taking it back”, zei de Amerikaanse president Donald Trump een jaar geleden over het Panamakanaal. Een Hongkongs privébedrijf heeft daar al decennia twee havens in handen. Maar daar maakte Panama vorige week een einde aan. Tot grote vreugde van Trump. En tot woede van China, dat alle investeringen in Panama meteen stopzet. “Panama is een strijdtoneel geworden tussen de VS en China”, zegt onze collega Nico Tanghe. Volgens Nico heeft Trump misschien wel gelijk om de aandacht op Panama te vestigen, want er zijn genoeg critici die wijzen op het gevaar van de Chinese invloed in strategische havens. Niet alleen in het Panamakanaal, trouwens. Ook in Europa. Want wat als China die havens in oorlogstijd ook wil gebruiken voor zijn militaire schepen? “Daar heeft men duidelijk schrik voor. De haven van Piraeus bijvoorbeeld, in Griekenland, is in Chinese handen. En daar zijn al militaire schepen geweest.” Is de machtsstrijd om het Panamakanaal een wake-upcall voor Europa? Moeten ook wij hier koste wat het kost de Chinezen uit onze havens weren? Of is het daarvoor niet al veel te laat? Wil je de aflevering van Kop of munt horen?

Oppermachtig, president en partijleider voor het leven - de eerste sinds Mao. Xi Jinping wist zelfs Donald Trump te imponeren, ‘straight from Central Casting in Hollywood’. Dramatische gebeurtenissen in Beijing - zuivering van de militaire top, aanklachten wegens corruptie en atoomspionage, geruchten over een couppoging - duiden op grote troebelen en een onverwacht machtsvacuüm. Wat weten we, wat betekent dit en welke consequenties heeft dit voor China, voor Xi’s positie en de geopolitieke verhoudingen? *** Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken.

Zend ons een mailtje en wij zoeken contact. *** Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger pluizen de berichten uit. Officiële verklaringen en commentaren in Beijing, maar ook de tsunami aan geruchten over de ongekende ingreep in de Centrale Militaire Commissie. Naast voorzitter Xi Jinping is nog maar één lid in functie. Vicevoorzitter generaal Zhang Youxia en chefstaf generaal Liu Zhenli zijn opgepakt. Ze worden beschuldigd van insubordinatie en 'verraad aan het vertrouwen van de Communistische Partij en haar Centraal Comité'. Vervolgens zijn bijna al hun collega's uit hun functie verwijderd en is in heel China in de topstructuur van de militaire districten en krijgsmachtonderdelen een massale zuivering en ontslaggolf gaande. Die formele beschuldiging wijst erop, dat hier geen sprake is van een verschil van inzicht over militaire kwesties alleen. De ingreep van Xi gaat veel dieper. Dit raakt aan de essentie van het vertrouwen tussen de partij, de politieke leiding en de leiding van het Volksbevrijdingsleger als geheel. En juist die balans van de twee machtscentra van de staat is cruciaal voor de ongebreidelde macht van Xi en die van zijn voorgangers als opperste leider en roerganger. Het conflict gaat dan ook over de continuïteit en fundamenten van die politieke macht, zoals in elke dictatoriale staat. Dit evenwicht is door het onthoofden van de CMC nu in één klap verwoest. De vraag naar die continuïteit van de macht is een vraag naar de betekenis en effecten van het feit dat Xi Jinping leider voor het leven is geworden. Dat roept hoe dan ook de vraag op: en wat dan? De militaire top wil zekerheid over wie hun opperbevelhebber zal zijn, terwijl van een breed gedragen regeling voor de opvolging - zoals Deng Xiaoping die ooit doorvoerde - geen sprake meer is. Wie daar hoe en wanneer over zal gaan is onhelder gehouden. In 2027 zal het volgende partijcongres daar wellicht over beslissen en ook in het Centraal Comité, in de machtige regio's was al enig rumoer merkbaar. De legertop was blijkbaar betrokken bij die onderhuidse signalen en eerdere zuiveringen indiceerden al spanningen en twijfels aan de koers van Xi. Bovendien was sprake van scherp toegenomen spanning over de voorziene aanpak van Taiwan. Het jaar 2027 staat daarin centraal. Dan wil Xi klaar zijn voor een definitieve aanpak van het weerspannige eiland en de hereniging tot één China realiseren. Daar komt nog iets bij dat van grote symbolische betekenis is. Dit najaar herdenkt China de dood van Mao Zedong in1976 en volgend jaar viert het 'honderd jaar Volksbevrijdingsleger'. Dat generaal Zhang insuborinatie pleegde, duidt erop dat hij de koers van Xi ten aanzien van Taiwan wel erg riskant vond en de voorbereidingen voor de invasie niet zonder meer wilde implementeren. Dat zou ertoe leiden dat Xi die grote regime-jubilea zou moeten laten passeren zonder het verwachte succes bij de nationale hereniging. Hij zou dan de al vele jaren bestaande strategie dat China in 2035 op gelijke voet met Amerika moet staan als enige wapenfeit over houden. Zijn gezag als partijleider komt zo in het geding. De vraagt rijst dan of de 74-jarige Xi niet door iemand uit een jongere generatie vervangen moet worden. Zie hier de verbinding tussen de strategische, geopolitieke dilemma's en de onopgeloste opvolgingsvraag. Ook de zeer sombere, soms dystopische speech van Xi bij het recente '75 Jaar Rood China' feest wordt hierdoor ineens veel beter te begrijpen. Heeft in China een dergelijk drama zich al eerder voltrokken? Al tijdens de jonge democratische republiek in de jaren twintig van de vorige eeuw was 'warlordism' een groot probleem. De zwakke democratische instituties werden permanent ondermijnd door regionale militaire bazen die met elkaar burgeroorlogen begonnen en soms ook met Japan samenwerkten tegen de republiek. Mao kon hen met zijn Volksbevrijdingsleger tegen elkaar, Japan en de Kuomintang uitspelen en won zo de overhand. In crisisfasen van Mao's regime - zoals de Grote Sprong Voorwaarts en de Culturele Revolutie - doken onmiddellijk zulke regionale conflicten en warlords weer op. Het leger drukte dit telkens hardhandig te kop in, met een sleutelrol voor maarschalk Ye Jianying. Die was ook cruciaal in de meest opmerkelijke couppoging. In 1971 deed Mao's kroonprins, defensieminister Lin Biao, een greep naar de macht. Dit 'Project 571' mislukte en op de vlucht naar Moskou werd boven Mongolië Lins vliegtuig neergehaald. Na Mao's dood grepen Ye en het leger weer in, namen zijn weduwe Jiang Qing en haar aanhang gevangen en zorgden dat Deng Xiaoping de nieuwe leider werd. Er was weer eenheid in commando over staat en krijgsmacht. Precies die incoherentie is het grote risico dat Xi nu loopt. De onzekerheid over de politieke ontwikkelingen en stabiliteit van China verhoogt de toch al labiele situatie wereldwijd. Dat bijvoorbeeld zeer recent India en de EU, maar ook de EU en Vietnam nadrukkelijk elkaar als strategische partners hebben gevonden heeft hier alles mee te maken. Dat Nederland als het land van ASML in deze troebelen rond Taiwan, China, Japan en Amerika een belangrijke rol speelt, had Den Haag zich kortgeleden nog niet kunnen indenken. De agenda van Rob Jetten en het strategisch inzicht van zijn ministers Tom Berendsen en Sjoerd Sjoerdsma worden al bij aantreden danig op de proef gesteld. *** Verder kijken Volksbevrijdingsleger - Lange Mars Musical (1976) *** Verder luisteren Xi Jinping 453 – 75 jaar Volksrepubliek China, waar is het feestje? 306 - De gevoelige geopolitieke relatie met China24 - Ties Dams over China's nieuwe keizer Xi Jinping China en zijn leiders250 - Nixon in China: de week die de wereld veranderde 225 - Nixon in China: Henry Kissinger's geheime (en hilarische) trip naar Beijing 245 - Oompje neemt de trein – de reis die China naar de 21e eeuw bracht 220 - China's nieuwe culturele revolutie 58 - 70 jaar China, de Volksrepubliek van Mao, Deng en Xi Geopolitieke troebelen 549 - China en Japan op ramkoers 458 - De gedroomde nieuwe wereldorde van Poetin en Xi Lessen voor Jetten, Berendsen en Sjoerdsma 551 – Klem tussen Amerika en China: de koude oorlog rond ASML 558 – Poetins rampjaar, Jettens kans *** Tijdlijn 00:00:00 – Deel 1 00:22:55 – Deel 2 00:45:49 – Deel 3 01:27:10 – EindeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Xi Jinping has just carried out the most significant purge of China's military in decades. Top general Zhang Youxia, alongside other leading figures and formerly close allies, have been arrested, accused of treason and corruption. Is this a sign of Xi's strength and his iron grip on power and his party? Or is it a sign of weakness, paranoia and growing internal dissent? Here, Cindy Yu – columnist and contributing editor at The Times and The Sunday Times – talks to spiked's Fraser Myers about what Xi might be thinking. Plus, they discuss the threat to Taiwan, the trade war with Trump, and how Britain should navigate China's rise.  Read spiked: https://www.spiked-online.com/     Support spiked: https://www.spiked-online.com/support/  Learn more about your ad choices.

Il potere nasce dalla canna del fucile, diceva Mao Zedong. Ma quando la canna del fucile non è controllata dal Partito comunista cosa succede in Cina? Le recenti purghe di Xi Jinping tra le file dell'esercito, riaccendono un faro sulle relazioni tra militari e Partito. Le speculazioni raccontano di uno scontro di potere tutto interno, ma anche su proiezioni future, come ad esempio la questione Taiwan.

2026 has already been a huge year for international news, from Venezuela to Greenland to Iran. We wanted to get our heads around what other seismic changes we can expect in the rest of 2026: from Europe's new dynamic with Washington, to President Trump's meeting with President Xi of China, to the rebuilding of Gaza. So we sat down with two foreign policy experts: Tom Bateman, the BBC's State Department Correspondent, and Emma Ashford, a Senior Fellow at the Stimson Center and author of First Among Equals: US Foreign Policy in a Multipolar World. We were joined in the heart of Washington DC by a live audience at Syracuse University's Institute for Democracy, Journalism and Citizenship. Recorded Monday 2 February.

Xi, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission (CMC), conveyed the greetings while attending a gala held by the CMC for retired military officers of Beijing-based troops on Friday.Greeted with warm applause, Xi chatted with the veterans, inquiring about their health and living conditions. Together, they reviewed the extraordinary journey of the Party, the country and the military over the past year.The veterans vowed to rally more closely around the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core and act on Xi Jinping Thought on Strengthening the Military.They pledged to gain a deep understanding of the decisive significance of establishing Comrade Xi Jinping's core position on the Party Central Committee and in the Party as a whole and of establishing the guiding role of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. They also vowed to consciously uphold Comrade Xi Jinping's core position on the Party Central Committee and in the Party as a whole and uphold the Central Committee's authority and its centralized, unified leadership.Moreover, the veterans pledged to implement the system of ultimate responsibility resting with the CMC chairman.The veterans vowed to contribute their part to achieving the centenary goals of the People's Liberation Army by 2027 and to advancing the modernization of national defense and the armed forces at a high standard.People's Liberation Army (PLA) /ˈpiːpəlz ˌlɪbəˈreɪʃn ˈɑːmi/中国人民解放军retired military officers /rɪˈtaɪərd ˈmɪlɪtəri ˈɒfɪsəz/军队离退休干部rally around /ˈræli əˈraʊnd/团结在……周围

Plans by Trump's fascist tech bros as well as Putin and Xi to build AI-run nuclear reactors on the Moon open jurisdictional dilemmas that far outpace the modest UN efforts to put a regulation regime in place for artificial intelligence. These plans are unveiled just as the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists moves the symbolic hands of the Doomsday Clock to an unprecedented 85 seconds to midnight. The new Doomsday Clock Statement explicitly names AI, as well as nuclear weapons and climate change, as a potential threat to human survival. The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, in conjunction with the Doomsday Clock move, reiterated its position that "we must move beyond managing nuclear weapons and start phasing them out before midnight strikes." In Episode 316 of the CounterVortex podcast, Bill Weinberg argues that we must take a similar abolitionist position on AI and space expansionism, citing unacceptable threats on ecological, epistemological and eschatological grounds.

Recently, Zimbabwean war veterans wrote to Chinese President Xi Jinping to express their gratitude for China's support during Zimbabwe's liberation struggle. In his January 28 reply, President Xi commended the veterans for dedicating their youth to the cause of national liberation and for forging a profound friendship with the Chinese people along the way. How did China and Zimbabwe work together during the liberation era, and what lasting legacy has that solidarity produced, especially for younger generations?

Then for the second half of 2025, the new version (red) shows much bigger job gains of 345,000 for June through December, than the old version (131,000). For 2024, the new version shows big job losses in February and March (red), while the old version showed moderate gains (blue). And then again in September and October 2024, the new version showed job losses (red), when the old version showed massive job gains (blue). For 2023, the new version shows huge job gains for May, June, and July, while the old version showed much smaller job gains. These massive differences go back all the way back to 2010. The entire data set was massively revised. ADP's entire data series going back to 2010 was heavily revised, and shifted down by about 2.5 million jobs across the entire period.

No one in Mexico or Ecuador or Honduras etc live in nations where there is any state persecution of any protected class. It's all fake, all the way down. 2. All non-Mexican illegals have transited through additional countries on the way to America where there are no forms of state persecution, thereby further disproving any hypothetical claim 3. As yet further proof the claims are fake, aliens turn down the opportunity to avoid this fabricated persecution by being safely resettled in another nation 4. Illegal aliens receive free and functionally unlimited legal services. When facing deportation, they and their lawyers (as a matter of course) automatically file fake asylum applications. It's a multibillion dollar fraudulent industry. It's gross, unethical, and deeply immoral. Everyone involved in this system understands and knows these claims are false. Adjudicating these knowingly false claims is a full-time job for thousands of people. 5. Federal law requires illegal aliens to be detained pending a hearing for their (fake) asylum claim. These are not prisons. They are not being punished. No one is being sentenced. Civil detention and removal is not part of the Article III justice system (in fact, Congress stripped Article III of jurisdiction over civil immigration procedure). The goal of the US government is to send aliens home immediately (they get cash and a free plane ticket) with the fewest days in custody as logistically possible. Any delay is caused by the fake asylum claim. 6. When the fake asylum claim is heard on the “non-detained” docket the illegal aliens rarely show for their hearings. Those few who do show stay in the country regardless after losing (unless placed into detention). Removal orders are ignored as a matter of course. If and when absconders are eventually found (at great time and expense) they still have to be detained to actually effectuate the removal. At this point in time their lawyers will file a motion to reopen their asylum claim or otherwise appeal the finding and seek release again. Regardless, no removal of any alien anywhere can occur unless in a detained setting. If the alien has children they are, by law, supposed to stay in a family residential center (that costs more per night than a high-end hotel, and includes full medical, dental, scholastic and other services) 7. Biden officials did not even bother with the pretext of performing intake interviews for the millions and millions and millions they released into the US. The aliens were simply released on sight, no questions asked, with court dates years away, in the hope and expectation that by the time their fake asylum claims were adjudicated and rejected years later, Democrats would be able to scream that these illegals have now lived here for X years and they and their children must be allowed to stay at our permanent expense. No one in the prior Administration responsible for these decisions actually believed the or now this has anything to do with asylum. To them, it is just useful propaganda in service of infinite mass migration. https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/2019043492899725395?s=20 DOJ Files Show Jeffrey Epstein Was Reportedly About To Cooperate With Federal Prosecutors Just Weeks Before He Was Found Dead in Jail Epstein was going to flip?

I). You have the legal right to gather in public spaces for lawful purposes- – -like protesting, petitioning the government, or observing events—as long as it’s peaceful and doesn’t break other laws (e.g., no trespassing, no interfering with federal operations, no violence). Supreme Court cases like De Jonge v. Oregon (1937) made it clear: peaceable assembly is a fundamental right, cognate to free speech, and can’t be banned just because officials dislike the message. Governments can impose reasonable, content-neutral time, place, and manner restrictions (e.g., permits for large crowds, no blocking traffic) to protect public safety/order, but they can’t outright prohibit lawful gatherings or use force against peaceful participants. Bottom line: True peaceful assembly is 100% protected. Fake titles don’t create extra rights or shields for illegal interference. Stay lawful – – – stay peaceful—that’s the line.  President Trump's Plan https://twitter.com/ElectionWiz/status/2019059790593376473?s=20 https://twitter.com/Breaking911/status/2019056233177657425?s=20 https://twitter.com/TrumpWarRoom/status/2019059608271171723?s=20     Ryan Routh To Be Sentenced For Trump Assassination Attempt Today A federal judge is set to sentence Ryan Routh on Feb. 4 for attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump.

This week on Sinica, I speak with Ryan Hass, director of the John L. Thornton China Center at Brookings and one of the most clear-eyed analysts of the U.S.-China relationship working today. Ryan was director for China at the NSC during the Obama Administration.As Donald Trump moves through his second year in office, the bilateral relationship has defied easy characterization. The once-dominant language of great power competition has receded, China hawks have been sidelined, and Trump's personalistic approach—marked by praise for Xi Jinping and a willingness to bracket ideological disputes—represents a sharp departure from recent Washington orthodoxy.Ryan has just published an essay laying out three plausible pathways for the relationship under Trump: a soft landing, a hard split, or what he considers most likely—a period of uneasy calm in which both sides seek stability not out of trust, but out of mutual constraint. We discuss Trump's apparent strategy, the vibe shift in American attitudes, Beijing's choice between managing Trump versus managing uncertainty, the critical importance of Xi's planned April visit, and whether we're headed toward genuine stabilization or just buying time before the next collision.5:24 – Trump's approach: respect for Xi, military deterrence, and the rare earths constraint8:03 – The vibe shift and Trump's “reptilian feel” for American exhaustion with confrontation10:52 – Three scenarios: soft landing, hard split, or uneasy calm through mutual constraint16:30 – Beijing's bet: managing Trump versus managing whoever comes next26:46 – Economic interdependence and why decoupling is like “separating egg whites from a scrambled egg”37:12 – The April visit as a critical test: pageantry, protests, and what both sides are watching for42:18 – Taiwan as the most dangerous variable and where theory meets practice46:58 – Lack of institutional guardrails and the risks of Trump's personalistic foreign policyPaying it forward:Audrye Wong (USC)Recommendations:Ryan: The Conscience of the Party: Hu Yaobang, China's Communist Reformer by Robert SuettingerKaiser: The Last Cavalier (Le Chevalier de Sainte-Hermine) by Alexandre Dumas; Asia Society conversation with Lizzi Lee, Bert Hoffmann, and Gerard DiPippo on rebalancing China's economy; Trivium China Podcast with Andrew Polk, Joe Peissel, Danny McMahon, and Cory Combs on capital expenditure headwindsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What if Chinese Communist emperor Xi Jinping is lying to Donald Trump, like he did to his top generals?  The President has repeatedly reported Xi told him Taiwan would not be invaded during the second Trump administration. While that's obviously desirable, the implication that Communist China will invade after Trump leaves office is ominous. It also seems increasingly unlikely.  The People's Liberation Army is now regularly rehearsing decapitation attacks, blockades and other invasion scenarios against Taiwan's main island. Xi is fracturing America's alliances. And he has his country on a war-footing. Xi is also a practiced liar. Just ask the top generals he has systematically purged, obviously having told the most recent victims they would not share the earlier ones' fate. Their replacements will likely be all-in for invasion, and the truth is, it could – and probably will – come at any time.  This is Frank Gaffney.

Xi Van Fleet escaped from Mao's Revolution in China – and now she's warning of elites enabling the CCP while funding chaos, crime, and communism in the United States. Drawing on historical research, Xi (pronounced “She”) traces CCP support from Soviet backing to US economic and political engagement that helped transform China into the world's second largest economy. Heather Mac Donald, author of The War On Cops, reveals how support from wealthy Americans is increasing China's global power – and making its government an even greater threat to American independence. Xi Van Fleet is a survivor of Mao's Cultural Revolution and author of “Made In America: The Hidden History of How the U.S. Enabled Communist China and Created Our Greatest Threat.” Born in China, she was sent to work in the countryside at age 16 during the Cultural Revolution. After Mao's death, she studied English in college and moved to the United States in 1986. She regularly appears on national media warning about parallels between communist China and modern America.

Newt talks with Xi Van Fleet about her new book, “Made in America: The Hidden History of How the U.S. Enabled Communist China and Created Our Greatest Threat” co-authored with Yu Jie. Her book explores the historical connections between the United States and the rise of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), emphasizing the role of the U.S. in enabling China's current global ambitions. Xi is a prominent anti-communist voice and gained national attention with a speech to the Loudoun County, Virginia school board comparing critical race theory to Mao's cultural revolution, highlighting the dangers of Marxist ideologies in America. They discuss the parallels between identity politics in the U.S, and class divisions in Maoist China, warning of the potential loss of freedom if these ideologies continue to spread. They also discuss the indoctrination occurring within American educational institutions. They conclude with concerns about the CCP's influence, and the internal threats posed by communist ideologies within the United States.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We start this episode discussing the Chinese General that was arrested by Xi, and all of the implications that go along with it. We thne give an update on the former olympic snowboarder turned drug smuggler for the senaloa cartel, then we talk about the strange "flying dorito" over area 51 again last week. Canada did a "war game" and learned how ill prepared they would be if they were attacked by America. Shifting over to the UK where the Prime Minister just blocked the vote to make first cousin marriages illegal...for racial reasons. We then discuss the possibilities of Trump attacking Iran, alsom we discuss the current death toll in iran rising to over 36,000!

Something's not adding up. Two years in a row, China's top brass is getting purged, and this time it's Xi's closest general. Accused of leaking NUCLEAR secrets, then disappears.“They haven't seen him since November. He's gone.” Why would China expose this unless they wanted to send a message?

In this episode of China Decode, Alice Han and James Kynge break down a seismic week in Beijing. China has effectively blown up the top of its military command, sidelining Xi Jinping's most trusted lieutenant and raising questions about loyalty, readiness, and how secure Xi really is at the apex of power. They explain what this unprecedented purge inside the PLA means—not just for China's military, but for regional stability and markets. They also unpack the post-China future of TikTok. After years of bans, lawsuits, and security concerns, a last-minute deal keeps the app alive in the U.S.—but does it truly sever Beijing's influence, or just repackage it? With 180 million American users and a generation getting its news from TikTok, we explain why this deal matters far beyond social media. And finally, Alice sits down with economist Houze Song to cut through the spin on China's economy—from headline growth numbers and export dependence to the long shadow of the property collapse and what Beijing may (or may not) do next.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Timing and optics are very important.   Economy  Carney Cracks: Canada Has ‘No Intention’ Of Pursuing Free Trade Deal With China After Trump Threatens 100% Tariffs To review: right before Davos, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney returned from a trip to Beijing and announced a new 5-point ‘strategic partnership’ to ‘diversify our trade partnerships.’ The agreements included slashing tariffs on Chinese EV imports from 100 percent to 6.1 percent for the first 49,000 units, in exchange for China cutting tariffs on Canadian canola from 85 percent to 15 percent until at least the end of the year. Other exports, including Canadian canola meal, lobsters, crabs, and peas will also not be subject to Chinese anti-discrimination tariffs until at least the end of 2026. A week later, Carney told the global elite at Davos resort that the “rules-based order” established by the United States and its allies following WW2 was fraying amid the current rivalry between China and America, so the “middle powers must act together because if we’re not on the table, we’re on the menu.”  Carney said that for their survival, nations should no longer “go along to get along” with Trump.   Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada has “no intention” of pursuing a free trade deal with China, after Donald Trump threatened to slap a 100% tariff on Canadian exports if Ottawa “makes a deal” with Beijing.   Source: zerohedge.com Trump Is Right About Europe's Weak Economy: U.S. vs. EU Compared  President Trump argued that Europe's economic stagnation is the result of a self-inflicted “civilizational erasure” driven by reliance on what he calls the “Green New Scam,” which he says has replaced affordable energy with costly and unreliable wind power. He further asserted that unchecked mass migration has strained social infrastructure and altered the continent's cultural identity, while a stifling regulatory environment and excessive government spending have suppressed the innovation needed to compete with the United States. Finally, he accused European nations of freeloading on American security, arguing that their failure to meet NATO defense spending targets over the past 70 years has allowed them to avoid the true costs of national sovereignty at the expense of the American taxpayer. Based on current economic data as of January 2026, the comparison supports Trump's critique. While the United States is experiencing aggressive growth alongside widespread deregulation, Europe remains mired in what can best be described as stabilized stagnation. The United States enters 2026 with inflation at 2.7%, steadily returning toward the 2% target. As in President Trump's first term, strong GDP growth has been paired with relatively modest inflation. Fourth-quarter GDP growth is projected at 5.4%, dwarfing Europe's stagnant 0.2%. For the full year, U.S. growth is expected to reach between 4.3% and 5%, while Europe is projected to manage only about 1.3% to 1.6%. On the labor front, the United States maintains its historical advantage, with unemployment at 4.4% compared to 6.3% in the Eurozone. This low level of unemployment has been achieved despite deep government job cuts that reduced taxpayer costs. While the United States reduced federal spending by $100 billion, European fiscal policy has moved in the opposite direction. The U.S. has moved 1.2 million people off food stamps, while European social safety nets are coming under increased strain from rising living costs. In 2024, the most recent data available, EU social protection spending rose by 7%, far outpacing nominal GDP growth. This imbalance pushed the social expenditure-to-GDP ratio to 27.3% across the bloc, with countries such as France and Austria exceeding 31%, reinforcing the strain caused by rising demand for social welfare. Energy remains far cheaper in the United States, particularly electricity and natural gas, due to abundant domestic production, lower taxes and levies, and reduced reliance on imports, with overall prices about half of Europe's and industrial electricity often as little as one-third.

More LNG, more U.S. gas, more renewables… Higher costs baked in. For Brussels this is an irreversible line. After 2027, there's no “going back to normal.” The EU has indeed been importing refined petroleum products from India that originate from Russian crude oil, creating an indirect pathway for Russian oil to enter the European market despite sanctions on direct imports from Russia since December 2022.  This circumvention became prominent after the EU and G7 imposed a price cap on Russian oil, prompting Russia to redirect exports to countries like India and China, where the crude is refined and then resold.    EU officials and analysts have long acknowledged the loophole, which is why recent sanctions packages have targeted it directly. For instance, the EU’s 18th sanctions package in July 2025 banned the import of petroleum products derived from Russian crude processed in third countries, and specifically sanctioned Nayara Energy, an Indian refinery partly owned by Russia’s Rosneft.  The 19th package in October 2025 further tightened measures by sanctioning additional third-country entities, including three in India, for supporting Russia’s circumvention efforts. As a result, major Indian refiners like Reliance Industries have stopped importing Russian crude for certain facilities to comply with these rules and maintain access to EU markets. Russia, meanwhile, continues to adapt by using new middlemen exporters to supply India, aiming to sustain the flow despite the crackdown.  India has not fully stopped importing Russian oil since then, but imports have significantly declined. In 2025, Russia’s share of India’s crude oil imports fell to 33.3% from 36% the previous year, while OPEC’s share rose slightly to 50%.  By December 2025, India dropped to the third-largest buyer of Russian fossil fuels overall, importing €2.3 billion worth that month, with major refiners like Reliance Industries scaling back or halting purchases.    This reduction appears driven by a mix of U.S. tariff pressures, steeper discounts on Russian crude drawing buyers back selectively, and India’s strategic diversification to ensure energy security without fully alienating Russia—a key defense and trade partner. https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/2015527595975033161?s=20   the CMC Joint Staff Dept: Under investigation for violations 5. Director of CMC Political Work Dept: Removed in 2025 over corruption The US-China rivalry has gone well beyond trade.   The purges depicted in the image of China’s Central Military Commission (CMC) stem from an escalating anti-corruption campaign under Xi Jinping, which has targeted the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) extensively since 2023. This drive is officially framed as rooting out graft, bribery, and disciplinary violations, but analysts widely interpret it as a mechanism for Xi to consolidate power, enforce unwavering loyalty among military leaders, and address systemic issues like incompetence or factional rivalries that could undermine PLA readiness.  The campaign has intensified in 2025-2026, affecting nearly the entire top echelon of the CMC—China’s highest military decision-making body, chaired by Xi himself—leaving it in significant disarray  War/Peace Report: Iran's Khamenei Flees to ‘Fortified' Bunker, Fearing U.S. Strike Following rising concerns over a possible U.S. military strike, Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has relocated to a heavily fortified underground compound in Tehran, according to reports, which cited sources close to the regime who revealed his son now oversees day-to-day operations.

In the filing, Ellison and the other AGs expressed support for banning the possession of firearms “in crowded places.” The AGs wrote: “Without the power to institute such restrictions, California and other states would be left unable effectively to prevent gun violence in crowded places, around vulnerable populations, or where individuals are exercising other constitutionally protected rights, putting the public at risk.” They emphasized, “Even the perceived risk of gun violence could cause repercussions, as individuals may be discouraged from visiting crowded or confined locations where they know others may be armed.” Source: breitbart.com https://twitter.com/BillClinton/status/2015562744993350135?s=20 Didn’t Bill and Hiliary Violate a Supeona to testify in front of congress, they broke the law, shouldn’t he be in jail.

Germany holds the world's second biggest national gold reserves after the US, of which approximately €164bn (£122bn) worth – 1,236 tonnes – is stored in New York. Emanuel Mönch, a leading economist and former head of research at Germany's federal bank, the Bundesbank, called for the gold to be brought home, saying it was too “risky” for it to be kept in the US under the current administration.  “In the interest of greater strategic independence from the US, the Bundesbank would therefore be well advised to consider repatriating the gold.” Source: zerohedge.com Trump Suggests He Can Send $2,000 Tariff Rebate Checks Without Congress  Bessent has also suggested the $2,000 benefit might not take the form of direct cash disbursements.  the Treasury secretary said while he had not yet finalized details with Trump, the “dividend could come in lots of forms,” such as through tax reductions already under consideration—including exemptions for tips, overtime pay, and Social Security benefits, among other deductions.
