Par AFP © 2025 AFP L'Allemagne, championne du monde en titre, et la Turquie, épatante contre la Grèce de Giannis Antetokounmpo, se sont qualifiées vendredi pour la finale de l'Euro de basket à Riga.Dimanche, l'Arena de Riga sera le théâtre d'une finale européenne inédite entre les deux nations invaincues de cette édition : l'Allemagne cherchera à s'offrir son premier titre depuis 1993, la Turquie son premier titre tout court.Vendredi, elles ont en tous cas prouvé - si elles ne l'avaient déjà pas fait - qu'elles avaient l'étoffe d'être championnes. L'une en assumant son statut de favorite devant la Finlande (98-86), l'autre en infligeant une claque à la Grèce de la star Giannis Antetokounmpo (94-68).Tournant à 29,8 points de moyenne pendant tout l'Euro, le "Greek Freak" a été limité à 12 points (12 rebonds, 5 passes), l'un des signes de la gueule de bois qui attendra samedi matin les Grecs.Car les coéquipiers d'Alperen Sengun ont réalisé une performance époustouflante, dès la première période. Les hommes de Vassilis Spanoulis - coupables au total de 22 pertes de balles - ont pris l'eau dans le premier acte (49-31), avec 18 points pour Ercan Osmani (28 au total, 6 rebonds), et un ...

Par AFP © 2025 AFP La Bourse de New York a terminé en ordre dispersé vendredi, tournée vers la réunion de la Réserve fédérale (Fed) la semaine prochaine, qui devrait aboutir à une baisse de taux pour la première fois de l'année.Le Dow Jones a perdu 0,59%, l'indice Nasdaq a pris 0,44% et l'indice élargi S&P 500 a clôturé non loin de l'équilibre (-0,05%)."Il n'y a pas eu de donnée économique aujourd'hui et nous sommes en pleine période de silence de la Fed, donc sans commentaire susceptible d'influencer le marché", commente auprès de l'AFP Christopher Low, de FHN Financial.Certes, les investisseurs ont accueilli en début de séance un indice de confiance des consommateurs inférieur aux attentes.Mais "cela correspond à ce que nous avons observé dans d'autres enquêtes et dans les mesures de l'activité économique: le marché de l'emploi est très faible", estime M.

In the wake of the horrific assassination of conservative firebrand Charlie Kirk on September 10, 2025, at Utah Valley University, one might have expected America’s legacy media and Democrat-leaning outlets to rally around basic human decency. After all, this was a brutal act of political violence against a prominent voice for freedom, family values, and American exceptionalism. President Trump himself called it a “national tragedy,” and even some on the left issued tepid condemnations. But oh... Continue Reading »

One never knows for sure beforehand, but I think Charlie Kirk’s assassination may be something of a tipping point in American politics and culture, or, at a minimum, an inflection point. Why?

Are Moviegoers Tired Of Comic Book Adaptations? If there ever was a surefire way of making a billion dollars at the box office, it was making a big-budget superhero movie in the 2010s. Between 2010 and 2019, twelve movies based on comic book adaptations reached the billion-dollar threshold at the global box office, with “Avengers: Infinity War”, released in 2018, and “Avengers: Endgame” from 2019 even surpassing $2 billion in box office sales. Since 2020, there has only been one more billion-dollar comic book adaptation – “Spider-Man: No Way Home” (2021) – or two, if you’re counting “Deadpool & Wolverine”, which is officially a spin-off from the X-Men series. Moreover, several high-profile releases, e.g. “The Marvels” (2023) or “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” (2023), have disappointed at the box office in recent years, giving rise to the idea of “superhero fatigue”. As Statista's Felix Richter shows in the chart below, according to The Numbers, adaptations of comic books and graphic novels accounted for just 15.6 and 3.2 percent of ticket sales at the North American box office in 2023 and 2024, down from 29.9 and 31.0 percent in 2021 and 2022, respectively. You will find ... Continue Reading »

Alleged Kirk Assassin A "Radical Left ANTIFA-Adjacent Creep" Wrote "Hey Fascist" On Bullet Casing Update (1431ET): On Friday afternoon, chatter on X pointed to an alleged Discord channel tied to Tyler Robinson, Charlie Kirk's suspected assassin. The online platform is the same one previously used by the Butler assassin, raising serious questions about whether radical leftist groups are exploiting Discord to indoctrinate youth and push them toward militant accelerationism.  Tyler Robinson was allegedly involved in multiple Antifa Discord servers. pic.twitter.com/huLQUoLgZ4 — Timcast News (@TimcastNews) September 12, 2025 Here's more from Daily Mail: A roommate told officers that Robinson discussed the engravings and his movements after the killing on an online chatroom, authorities said. It is thought he used the website Discord, which is also a gaming platform. Investigators probing Kirk's death said Robinson posted messages on Discord saying he needed to retrieve a rifle from a drop point. The messages also reportedly described how Robinson wrapped a rifle he is alleged to have used in a towel and stashed it in a bush. Authorities said Robinson further detailed that he used a scope and changed outfits. The key question is whether Discord is being used as a radicalization ... Continue Reading »

Qatar Pressures Arab Allies To Close Embassies In Israel: 'The Gloves Are Off' Qatar is leaning on Arab countries who have embassies in Israel to close them, as diplomatic retaliation for this week's brazen Israeli airstrikes on Doha, which killed several Hamas leaders - including Khalil al-Hayya - and a Qatari security official. Specifically, the United Arab Emirates is being pressured to shutter its embassy in Tel Aviv. The UAE was an initial signer of the Trump-brokered Abraham Accords. It officially inaugurated its embassy in July of 2021 as part of the historic normalization deal. Via Associated Press Washington has been hoping to expand the accords to other Gulf states, especially Saudi Arabia, but with the Gaza war raging, this seems definitely off and nowhere on the horizon. "The gloves are off," a Gulf diplomat speaking with Haaretz said. The UAE has vehemently condemned the attack on Qatar, and  summoned the Israeli deputy ambassador, David Ohad Horsandi, to complain of "outrageous attack" which violated Qatar's sovereignty.  Haaretz has suggested that Qatar might even alter its security ties with the United States. "Qatar's prime minister told the White House his country would now re-evaluate its security partnership with Washington," Haaretz reported. "From Doha's ... Continue Reading »

Education Department Ends College Grants Tied To Racial Thresholds Authored by Bill Pan via The Epoch Times, The U.S. Department of Education has stopped awarding grants to colleges based on the share of minority students they enroll, saying it is unconstitutional to use taxpayer dollars to promote “racial or ethnic quotas” at those schools. The decision, announced on Sept. 10, affects hundreds of schools nationwide classified as Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs). Department officials said these programs amount to discrimination, as they require colleges to maintain a minimum percentage of students from certain racial or ethnic backgrounds in order to qualify for grants. For instance, a Hispanic-Serving Institution (HSI) must enroll at least 25 percent Hispanic students, among other criteria, to earn the designation. A Predominantly Black Institution (PBI) must enroll at least 1,000 undergraduates and make sure that at least 40 percent of them are black to unlock the corresponding grant. Ending those grants is consistent with the Trump administration’s goal of ending all forms of discrimination across all federally funded programs, Education Secretary Linda McMahon said. “Discrimination based upon race or ethnicity has no place in the United States,” the secretary said. “The Department ...

Stablecoin Liquidity Hits An All-Time High Authored by Will Izuchukwu via TheMerkle.com, Stablecoin liquidity on centralized exchanges just broke into uncharted territory. According to CryptoQuant, reserves have surged to $68 billion, marking the highest level ever recorded. The surge signals deeper markets, smoother execution, and resilience during volatility. For traders, it means the crypto market is quietly arming itself for its next big move. Binance Dominates the Field No surprise at the top. Binance holds $44.2 billion, capturing 67% of all stablecoins parked on exchanges. That’s more than all other major exchanges combined. Binance’s stablecoin dominance gives it unmatched liquidity depth. Order books are thicker, spreads are tighter, and execution is reliable even during heavy volatility. Why It Matters Stablecoins aren’t just “digital dollars.” They are the oil of the crypto engine. Deeper order books mean big players can move size without wrecking the chart. Liquidity smooths out volatility shocks. Execution is reliable even during fast-moving selloffs or pumps. The big takeaway: with this much stablecoin firepower, the market is primed for the next leg up. Tether (USDT): The Giant @Tether_to continues to dwarf the sector. With ~59% market share, Tether remains the undisputed heavyweight. In July alone, Tether processed almost $2 trillion in settlement volume. Over the ... Continue Reading »

Turkey In Netanyahu's Crosshairs For Harboring Hamas, After Qatar Strike Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has defended a recent airstrike on what Israel says was a Hamas headquarters in Doha, comparing the October 7 attacks to the September 11 terror attacks in the United States. The speech was given in the middle of this week, just before the 24th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, warning that Hamas leaders will be hunted down wherever they are located, and putting countries like Qatar and even Turkey on notice. Turkey has long expressed support to Hamas leadership. Though Netanyahu did not directly name Turkey, observers interpreted his remarks as a veiled threat to Ankara, which has long hosted senior Hamas officials. Via AFP Calling October 7 "our 9/11," Netanyahu warned that any country offering safe haven to "Islamist terrorists" could become targets of Israeli intelligence operations. He urged governments to expel or prosecute such individuals, or potentially face the wrath of unilateral Israeli action. He laid out: "Well, yesterday, we acted in the same manner. We pursued the masterminds of terror who perpetrated the massacre of October 7. And we did this. In Qatar, which provides a ... Continue Reading »

Corporate Earnings Slowdown Signaled By Employment Data Authored by Lance Roberts via RealInvestmentAdvice.com, The latest employment data strongly warned of a potential corporate earnings slowdown ahead. This is the first time we have warned about the employment data and its impact on corporate earnings. In May, we penned “Employment Data Confirms Economy Is Slowing.” wherein we stated: “Given the importance of consumption in the economy and that employment (production) must come first in the cycle, attention to employment data, particularly full-time employment, is crucial to determining economic risk. The risk of a recession remains very low; however, that can change if something causes consumption to contract quickly. Aside from an unexpected, exogenous impact, investors should expect economic growth to continue to slowly weaken to a longer-term trend slightly less than 2% annually. Unfortunately, while not recessionary, that growth rate will make it hard for corporate profitability to remain at record levels.” The August 2025 employment report further confirmed the deceleration in job growth. Nonfarm payrolls added just 22,000 positions. Economists had expected over 75,000. June’s numbers were revised downward to a net loss of 13,000 jobs, the first monthly decline since 2020. July gained only a minor upward revision. ... Continue Reading »

Iron Ore Price Volatility Now At 2008 Low  Singapore iron ore futures closed the week near six-month highs, supported by signs of revived Chinese demand driving peak-season restocking, alongside other factors such as steel mills curbing supply and expectations for a 25-bps interest rate cut in the U.S. next week.  Earlier in the week, UBS analyst Catherine Gordon told clients, "I would flag that the team has seen strong demand for the UBS Gold Miners Basket {UBXXGOLD} amid the frenzy. Iron Ore remains the least discussed with investors on the sidelines." Has the iron ore market been long lost and forgotten by Wall Street desks, with prices stuck around $100 a ton for more than a year? Possibly. UBS analyst Myles Allsop noted that iron ore volatility has collapsed to its lowest level in 15 years. With no trend to follow and prices compressed around the $100 handle, iron ore has become one of the least discussed commodities among UBS clients - well, for now. Allsop provided more color about this collapse in volatility: Iron ore prices: why is volatility at the lowest level in >15yrs? The volatility in the iron ore price is at its lowest level ...

Trump Downplays Drone Incursion Into Poland As Likely 'Mistake', Angering NATO Allies In a bit of a surprise twist given all the hype and dangerous escalation this week which saw Poland and NATO scramble jets, President Donald Trump has downplayed Poland's accusation that Russian drones intentionally invated its airspace this week. Trump in addressing the dangerous incident to reporters Thursday suggested it "could have been a mistake". Prime Minister Donald Tusk, citing the NATO eastern flank country's military said that in the early hours of Wednesday, three Russian drones were shot down - among a total of 19 which crossed into Polish airspace. Crashed drone remnants in Poland, via AP When asked about these claims, Trump responded that it "could have been a mistake… But regardless, I’m not happy about anything having to do with that whole situation. But hopefully it’s going to come to an end." Warsaw and NATO officials condemned the "act of aggression" which they along with Ukrainian officials asserted was an intentional provocation. Tusk said it was an "unprecedented" incursion into the sovereign territory of a NATO member. Despite Trump now surprising allies by downplaying it, Warsaw and Kiev are getting the ...

US Consumer Confidence Tumbles To Lowest Since May As Inflation Expectations Calc Completely Broken US consumer sentiment tumbled for the second month in a row in the just released preliminary September data, down from 58.2 to 55.4, far below the median estimates of 58.0 (in fact it was below all estimates), with both Current Conditions (61.0, Last 61.7) and Expectations (51.8, Last 55.9) declining. “Consumers’ expected probability of personal job loss grew sharply this year and ticked up in September as well,” Joanne Hsu, director of the survey, said in a statement, “suggesting that consumers are indeed concerned that they may be personally affected by any negative developments in labor markets.” “Moreover, consumers also feel squeezed by the persistence of high prices,” she added. Curiously Republicans and Independents saw their optimism (i.e. expectations) slide fractionally - while Democrats oddly rose - although while it narrowed modestly, the spread between Dems and Reps remains near a record high. After plunging back to reality for two months, inflation expectations resumed their ascent especially on the longer-end horizon: year-ahead inflation expectations were unchanged at 4.8% after jumping in July from 4.5%, while long-run (5-10) inflation unexpectedly jumped from 3.5% ...

'Game-Changer' - BlackRock Weighs ETF Tokenization As JPMorgan Flags Industry Shift Authored by Sam Bourgi via CoinTelegraph.com, BlackRock is reportedly exploring tokenized ETFs after Bitcoin fund success, as Wall Street giants tout tokenization as a game-changer for finance... BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, is reportedly exploring ways to tokenize exchange-traded funds (ETFs) on the blockchain, following the strong performance of its spot Bitcoin ETFs. Citing sources familiar with the discussions, Bloomberg reported Thursday that the company is considering tokenizing funds with exposure to real-world assets (RWA). Any such move, however, would need to navigate regulatory hurdles. ETFs have become one of the most popular investment vehicles — so widespread, in fact, that they now outnumber publicly listed stocks, according to Morningstar. Tokenizing ETFs could potentially allow them to trade beyond standard market hours and be used as collateral in decentralized finance (DeFi) applications. Source: The Kobeissi Letter BlackRock’s interest in tokenization is not new. It already manages the world’s largest tokenized money market fund, the BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL), which holds $2.2 billion in assets across Ethereum, Avalanche, Aptos, Polygon and other blockchains. JPMorgan has called tokenization a “significant leap” for the $7 trillion money market fund industry, pointing to ... Continue Reading »

Colleges Fire Employees Over Remarks About Charlie Kirk's Murder Authored by Zachary Stieber via The Epoch Times, Two universities have terminated employees who made what they described as inappropriate remarks about the murder of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk. Middle Tennessee State University terminated a worker who “offered inappropriate and callous comments on social media concerning the horrific and tragic murder of Charlie Kirk,” Sidney McPhee, president of the university, said in a statement on Sept. 10. “The comments by this employee, who worked in a position of trust directly with students, were inconsistent with our values and have undermined the university’s credibility and reputation with our students, faculty, staff and the community at large,” McPhee added. “This employee has been fired effective immediately. We extend our deepest sympathies to the Kirk family.” Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) was among those who had called for the school to act.

The suspected shooter has been taken into custody, according to President Trump. University of Mississippi Chancellor Glenn Boyce said on Sept. ... Continue Reading »

Oil Prices Surge On Ukrainian Drone Threat, Expanded Russian Sanctions Fears Oil prices are surging this morning as the market is caught in a "tug-of-war" between bearish fundamentals and heightened geopolitical risks (as Citigroup put it). “The volatility reflects the market’s ongoing struggle to balance growing surplus risks against persistent geopolitical uncertainty and resilient refined product margins,” said Ole Hvalbye, a commodities analyst at SEB AB. “Sentiment remains broadly cautious.” Crude rallied initially on mounting fears that Ukrainian drone attacks may disrupt flows through Russia’s two most important crude-exporting hubs on the Baltic coast. The strikes have suspended operations at Primorsk, the main oil-loading port in the region, as well as three pumping stations pushing crude to the Ust-Luga hub, a person familiar with the situation said. The gains extended further on reports that the Trump administration will urge its allies in the Group of Seven to imposes tariffs as high as 100% on China and India for their purchases of Russian oil in an effort to convince President Vladimir Putin to end his war in Ukraine. The US proposal calls for 50% to 100% secondary tariffs on China and India as well as restrictive trade measures on ... Continue Reading »

1 In 9 Americans Still Believe Political Violence Is Sometimes Justified Unless you live under a rock, you will jnow by now that conservative activist Charlie Kirk (31) was shot dead while speaking at an event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday. At the time of writing, the shooter is still at large and a manhunt is underway. Kirk was an ally of U.S. President Donald Trump and the founder of Turning Point USA, a conservative student movement. In a statement, Trump blamed the rhetoric of the “radical left” for Kirk’s death while politicians on both sides of the aisle shared their condolences. The shooting adds to a growing list of incidents of politically-motivated violence in the United States, with echoes of an incident last year when Trump was also nearly shot at a rally in front of a crowd. Despite the major rift that exists between left and right, data shows that such acts of political violence are not tolerated by the vast majority of U.S. adults. As Statista's Anna Fleck reports, following the shooting, YouGov asked 2,326 U.S. adults to share their opinions on whether they think it is ever justified for citizens to resort to violence ...

"He Was Definitely Murdered": Watch Sam Altman Squirm As Tucker Grills Him Over Whistleblower Death In a tense exchange on the Tucker Carlson Show, Carlson grilled OpenAI CEO Sam Altman over the shocking death of whistleblower Suchir Balaji, an AI researcher whose explosive allegations of copyright violations had rocked the tech giant. Balaji, an Indian-American AI researcher who had worked at the forefront of artificial intelligence development, was found dead in his San Francisco apartment in November 2024, just weeks after blowing the whistle on OpenAI's alleged copyright violations in their AI training processes. The medical examiner ruled it a suicide by a self-inflicted gunshot wound, with no evidence of foul play discovered at the scene. Yet Balaji's grieving family, backed by prominent public figures and growing public scrutiny, is demanding a full FBI investigation, alleging murder and a systematic cover-up designed to silence a dangerous whistleblower. Carlson kicked off the explosive exchange by zeroing in on Balaji's whistleblower claims and his sudden, mysterious demise that has left many questions unanswered. "So you've had complaints from one programmer who said you guys were basically stealing people's stuff and not paying them, and ... Continue Reading »
