4+ min ago (271+ words) SAO PAULO " Brazilian Sen. Fl'vio Bolsonaro, the eldest son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, said Friday that his father decided he should represent their political group and run for president in 2026. Bolsonaro was arrested last month and began serving a 27-year prison sentence after being convicted of attempting a coup. The far right leader has already been barred from running for office until 2030 as part of a separate process against him. "It is with great responsibility that I confirm the decision of Brazil's greatest political and moral leader, Jair Messias Bolsonaro, to entrust me with the mission of continuing our national project," Fl'vio Bolsonaro wrote on X. Fl'vio Bolsonaro was elected senator in 2018 for an eight-year term, following a career as a state legislator in Rio de Janeiro. The politician was at the center of allegations of embezzlement of public funds…...

8+ min ago (528+ words) The Knicks were the team with syncopation, improvisation, rhythm and spontaneity from the start, all the traits that make jazz the wonderful art form it always has been. They also happened to be the elements Friday night that completely deconstructed the Jazz at the Garden. The Knicks netted the first 23 points of the game and led by 28 through one quarter before cruising to a thorough 146-112 annihilation of Utah for their sixth win in seven games. Jalen Brunson netted 13 of his 33 points in the opening period, and Miles McBride nailed seven 3-pointers and totaled 22 points in 22 minutes off the bench for the Knicks (15-7). OG Anunoby returned to the lineup for the first time since suffering a hamstring injury Nov. 14 and added 11 points in 23 minutes. With his defensive starter back in uniform, Mike Brown turned to last season's most-used starting lineup under…...

9+ min ago (234+ words) The Trump administration has given European NATO members until 2027 to take on the majority of the alliance's conventional defense responsibilities, sources told Reuters this week, or face diminished U.S. participation. The Trump administration also threatened to scale back U.S. involvement in some NATO coordination efforts if Europe fails to meet the target, sources who requested anonymity told Reuters. In 2024, 22 NATO members were projected to meet the standard 2% of GDP defense spending obligation, but the Trump administration has since pushed to make it 5%, a figure that generated mixed reactions in Europe. France has taken a leading role in getting Europe to take up its own defense, with French President Emmanuel Macron pledging in November to deliver 100 Rafale fighter jets to Ukraine over the next decade. Germany has also stepped up in bolstering its military, recently passing a law which would send 18-year-old Germans…...

15+ min ago (277+ words) Now, it is decision time. You have three potential courses of action: (1) Call the SECDEF and ask for a clarification of intent. (2) Order a second strike to finish off the survivors. (3) Order a quick reaction force to apprehend the survivors for interrogation. You also have the option of coming up with your own solution. You order option 2, the second strike, and the survivors are eliminated. Part of the post-game debrief requires you to justify the rationale for your decision. You explain that the decision was to follow military procedure and carry out the last order given, and with the rationale that the survivors might try to call for help to recover the drugs. If I were evaluating the exercise and conducting the debrief, my response would be as follows: "Third, is the purely military aspect of your decision. Those crewmen…...

15+ min ago (442+ words) I agree with this: It is how we learn that matters, and it makes life more interesting. Allan knew how to learn. Brownfeld attended the College of William and Mary, where he became involved in politics and journalism and wrote for the student newspaper. He eventually attended law school at his alma mater, but never practiced because his passions were the power of the written word and statecraft. When I talked to people who knew Allan Brownfeld well, they all shared that they had respected him deeply. Many used the same words to appraise him: "loyal," "a true intellectual," and "a gentleman who was able to reach across the aisle because he was from a kinder, gentler age." Stephen Naman is the president of the Board of Directors for the American Council for Judaism (ACJ), a group whose focus is…...

15+ min ago (582+ words) WASHINGTON " What happens when rules designed to ensure public safety fray so much that undocumented residents can obtain commercial driver's licenses for big rigs, even if they are not qualified to drive them and do not speak English? In 2025, Americans saw the danger of allowing unvetted migrants to drive big rigs without obtaining bona fide commercial driver's licenses, often thanks to what Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy calls "scam schools." (RELATED: When Sanctuary Policies Hit the Highway) In November, an illegal immigrant with a California commercial driver's license was charged with killing a newlywed couple in Oregon. In October, an immigrant truck driver who had been in the United States illegally since 2011 allegedly caused a fatal accident. He did not hold a valid CDL, the New York Post reported. After President Donald Trump withheld $40 million in federal funds to punish California…...

15+ min ago (937+ words) arlier this week, Anna Gallagher, executive director of the Catholic Legal Immigration Network Inc. (CLINIC) crooned: "As we enter the Advent season, we remember that the Holy Family themselves were migrants seeking safety." It is a recurring motif to validate the resistance of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) to curtailment of illegal immigration. In November, the USCCB prepared for Advent by declaring war on the Trump administration with a "Special Pastoral Message on Immigration." The insurrectionist tenor of this rare "special message" places the globalist conceits " and monetary interests " of the hierarchy ahead of the just laws of their own country. Our bishops censure "the indiscriminate deportation of people." But there is nothing indiscriminate about the process. The only people subject to detention by ICE are illegal aliens who have broken our immigration laws by choice. Moreover, in May…...
