Analysis: As Democrats focus on Signal use, team Trump flashes familiar definition of war

4 weeks ago | bradenton.com | John Bennett

WASHINGTON - The Trump administration has used the fallout from a leaked group chat about counterstrikes in Yemen to sketch its definition of war, with congressional Democrats mostly focused on the commercial technology used to discuss sensitive military operations.
Jamie Carragher & Afcon 'disrespect' row explained

1 month ago | bbc.com | John Bennett

To get an idea of the value of Afcon, all you have to do is listen to some of the continent's greatest ever players. Legends such as Samuel Eto'o, Yaya Toure and Didier Drogba - or the big stars still in action, like Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Riyad Mahrez. They have trophy cabinets full of medals and titles from European club football, but Afcon means everything to them.
Wolves 0-1 Arsenal analysis: Gunners show 'character'

2 months ago | bbc.com | John Bennett

The extremely controversial decision to show Myles Lewis-Skelly a red card against Wolves has had plenty of coverage over the last couple of days and it was one of the most bizarre refereeing calls I've ever seen live. But I want to write about Arsenal's reaction. I was really impressed by their composure and calmness in response to the extremely harsh call.
A 'significant' win for three reasons

Dec 2, 2024 | sports.yahoo.com | John Bennett

When Nottingham Forest look back at what I'm sure will be a successful season, the win over Ipswich on Saturday will not be near the top of the 'most memorable games' list - but I think it was really significant. First, because they proved that they don't have to be at their flowing best to pick up three points.

Kamara was aiming to help Sierra Leone qualify for next year's Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon), and he played the full 90 minutes in Wednesday’s 1-1 draw with Chad.
'Very worrying for Wolves supporters'

Oct 6, 2024 | sports.yahoo.com | John Bennett

The fact that I was sitting only a few rows behind the Wolves boss Gary O’Neil on Saturday means I'm not at all surprised about how scathing he was about his team's performance. You could sense the frustration and anger as he watched what seemed more like an NBA game than a Premier League game at times, with absolutely no control in midfield and the action swinging from end to end.

Reflection 2: A Tale of Two Experiences - Navigating Artistic Accessibility in NYC

Mar 24, 2024 | medium.com | John Bennett

In the global cultural hub of New York City, opportunities to engage with the arts are everywhere. However, the accessibility of these experiences can vary significantly, as highlighted by my recent visits to two very different exhibitions: “Perfect Days” (2023) by Wim Wenders, a film screening at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, and “Klimt Landscapes”, a rotating visual art exhibit at the Neue Galerie. At the former, I paid a modest $8 for a ticket and entry was straightforward and painless.
‘A lot of vitriol’: Lawmakers fret over tone of Trump-Biden rematch

Mar 19, 2024 | theolympian.com | John Bennett

ANALYSIS - Lawmakers are concerned about the tone of the presidential general election, with one Republican senator warning it reflects a troubling mood from sea to shining sea. Former President Donald Trump, the presumed GOP nominee, on Saturday warned of a "bloodbath" if he is not elected. The presumed Democratic nominee, President Joe Biden, has more frequently referred to Trump as "a loser" and a proponent of political violence.

Ibrahima Traore smiles as he parks his black Range Rover outside the apartment block where his footballing story began. He is back in Pantin, just outside the north-east corner of the peripherique - the ring road that separates central Paris from its suburbs. Amid the din of sirens and the aroma of fast food, Traore buzzes in and takes the lift to the fifth floor.
