In his perpetual effort to distract from being credibly accused of child-rape in the EPSTEIN Pedo-Files, it's time for the Presidunce to arbitrarily rename something again, since renaming the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America went so "well".🙄 Seems Canada & the Internet have a few thoughts... 🇨🇦

Earlier this month a video was shared online with claims that it shows police at a protest in Sheffield detaining a person who later died. But that isn’t true. The 17-year-old boy did not die - he was taken to hospital but later discharged himself.

Sainte-Soline : les outils du design au service de l’enquête

Antoine Schirer a réussi là où la justice avait échoué. En une dizaine de jours, ce journaliste indépendant a réussi à déterminer quel gendarme avait plongé dans le coma Serge Duteuil-Graziani, à Sainte-Soline, le 25 mars 2023, par un tir tendu de grenade non autorisé. Après plus de deux années d’enquête, le procureur avait classé l’affaire sans suite en décembre 2025, estimant qu’aucune certitude ne pouvait se dégager.

Antoine Schirer n’a pas trouvé une nouvelle source. Il n’a pas recueilli d’aveux. Pas même dégoté un nouvel élément matériel. Comme il l’explique dans la vidéo-enquête qu’il a coréalisée avec Camille Polloni, Laura Wojcik et Ismaël Halissat (journaliste à Libération), il a réussi à faire parler les 150 heures d’images produites par les gendarmes, équipés de caméras-piétons ce jour-là.

Hungary: Orban loses historic election The new Private Eye is out now.
A photo of the front cover of issue 1673 of Private Eye magazine, with the caption “on shelves now.”
The main headline reads “HUNGARY: ORBAN LOSES HISTORIC ELECTION.” The central image shows Viktor Orbán standing on stage alongside JD Vance, both raising their arms in front of a cheering crowd with Hungarian and US flags in the background. A speech bubble reads, “Who says America can’t achieve regime change?”
A strapline at the bottom reads “HUGE TRIUMPH FOR MAGA (SURELY MAGYAR? ED.).”
