Le 7 octobre c'est aussi cela. Une foule de civils gazaouis hystérique autour du cadavre d'une Israélienne kidnappée et dénudée. Des images qui nous hantent nuit et jour.

Merz argues that Germans must work more and become more productive if Germany is to compete with China. * An alternative perspective is that the German government should not have shut down power plants, cut its energy-intensive industries off from their main source of affordable energy, looked the other way when Nord Stream was destroyed, imposed sanctions on so many countries, contributed to instability in the Middle East by backing genocide and the war against Iran, built an economic model so reliant on mass immigration, subordinated itself excessively to the US, stolen sovereign assets, financed yet another war against Russia etc. Or BlackRock Merz is correct: Germans simply need to work harder and accept the transition from an industrial welfare state toward a model of military Keynesianism.

🚨 THE WNBA HAS BEEN CORNERED BY ITS OWN RULEBOOK. Everyone witnessed what happened in Game 2. The footage has been dissected, the rules have been exposed, and the entire basketball community is now waiting for the WNBA to do what a legitimate professional sports league is obligated to do. The NBA has repeatedly demonstrated that crossing the player-fan boundary carries serious consequences, regardless of intent or provocation. And let's be absolutely clear about NBA precedent. Isaiah Thomas received TWO games for entering the stands to confront fans without physical violence. Antonio Davis received FIVE games, and DJ Mbenga received SIX. Both entered the stands over concerns involving family members. A'ja Wilson's actions were considerably worse on all counts. Now explain why the WNBA should operate under a different standard when its MVP is involved. ENFORCE ITS OWN RULES. Deliberately entering the stands requires automatic ejection. Players leaving the bench area during a qualifying altercation face MANDATORY suspensions beginning before their next game. The WNBA must now acknowledge violations occurred, identify the responsible players, and apply the prescribed penalties. And with tonight's elimination game approaching, the league is running out of time. There is growing speculation that the WNBA is deliberately delaying its decision to protect A’ja Wilson and other Las Vegas Aces players from missing a critical playoff game. That allegation has not been proven. But should the WNBA allow tonight's game to proceed without addressing potential mandatory suspensions, it will only fuel suspicions that the delay was deliberately intended to protect A’ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces from the consequences of their actions. Deliberately postponing mandatory discipline until AFTER the game in which it should have been served would represent a calculated manipulation of competitive integrity. That would be a scandal far bigger than the original incident. The WNBA cannot allow the timing of its disciplinary process to determine who plays in an elimination game. Its credibility is already under intense scrutiny. An unexplained delay only invites further questions about preferential treatment and whether the league considers its own rules negotiable. Cathy Engelbert and the WNBA have a decision to make. Determine what happened. Explain the findings. Enforce every applicable rule. BEFORE TIPOFF. Because a professional sports league that selectively controls WHEN its rules are enforced leaves fans questioning whether its competition is legitimate.

Fourteen thousand feet down in under thirty seconds. ​That is not turbulence. That is gravity pulling 150 innocent souls toward the end of their lives while an enemy inside the cockpit fights to kill them all. ​Inside the cabin, the air went thin. Screams echoed against the metal. Blood stained the flight deck. Parents gripped their children’s hands in the dark, whispering their final goodbyes, praying with the raw, trembling conviction of people who knew they only had seconds of breath left on this earth. ​Then, defiance took over. ​A wounded co-pilot who refused to yield. Cabin crew who stood their ground. Ordinary passengers who unbuckled their seats and charged straight into the violence to tear control back from the jaws of a massacre. ​They did not surrender the sky. They did not let evil win. ​Around 150 people were supposed to die today. Tonight, they are breathing, crying, and holding the people they love because heroes chose to fight when all hope was falling out of the air. ​Life is fragile. Courage is unbreakable. A literal miracle above the clouds. ​#ModehAni

Why was Las Vegas Aces A’ja Wilson not ejected for entering the stands in Game 2 vs Fever? According to Rule 12A, Section V: Any player, coach, or trainer who deliberately enters the spectator stands during a game will be automatically ejected. [1] The rulebook breaks down the exact protocol and boundaries for this infraction as follows: Automatic Ejection and Review: The offender is disqualified immediately from the game, and the officiating crew must report the incident via email directly to the WNBA Commissioner for further review. This review frequently triggers subsequent league discipline, including heavy financial finesand potential multi-game suspensions based on the severity of the confrontation. Defining the Stands: The rule book explicitly states that the first row of seats is considered the beginning of the spectator stands.
