UK AID SHOCK: Taxpayer Money at Risk of Funding Hamas
— A leaked UK government report has raised fears that British taxpayer money could be reaching Hamas through aid sent to Gaza. The November 2022 document, revealed by NGO Monitor, shows a UNICEF cash program in Gaza worked with the Ministry of Social Development — an office linked to Hamas leaders.
NGO Monitor says this means UK aid might be “linked directly or indirectly” to helping Hamas, which both Britain and the US call a terrorist group. The British consulate-general in Jerusalem reportedly called this a “reputational” risk but not a legal issue.
Anne Herzberg from NGO Monitor told Fox News Digital that officials seemed more worried about public image than stopping possible misuse. She says the words used in the document prove they knew there was danger but did not act.
UK officials deny any wrongdoing but have not answered every question from critics. Conservative voices are now calling for real transparency and strict checks on where foreign aid actually goes.
ISRAEL’S Bold Ceasefire Gamble: Hope Rises as Hamas Drags Feet on Hostage Deal
— Israel has agreed to a U.S.-backed plan for a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza. The deal offers a break from fighting, but only if Hamas releases nine living hostages at first and eventually returns 28 Israeli hostages, both alive and deceased. In exchange, Israel would free 125 Palestinian prisoners and return the remains of 180 Palestinians.
This agreement comes as violence continues and world leaders push for peace. U.S. officials have worked hard to get both sides talking again.
But Hamas has not fully accepted the terms yet. This raises doubts about whether they will actually release the hostages or keep stalling. An Israeli official said, “We are ready for peace if Hamas is serious.”
If everyone follows through, this could be a major step toward stability in the Middle East. For now, leaders are waiting to see if hope turns into real action — or more delays from Hamas.
UK NEWS BLACKOUT Ignites Fury: Thousands Left in the Dark
— A massive news blackout has hit the UK, cutting off thousands from online updates. Angry citizens are demanding answers as important news remains out of reach.
This outage shows big problems with the country’s digital news systems. Many people now wonder where to turn for facts during emergencies or major events.
Frustration keeps rising as there’s still no fix in sight. The blackout is a wake-up call about how much we rely on digital platforms for vital information.
HOUSE REPUBLICANS Ignite Hope With Bold TAX Cuts for Small Business
— House Republicans are pushing a bill to make the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) permanent. The plan also raises the small business tax break from 20% to 23%. Job Creators Network (JCN) has backed this idea for years, saying it will help local businesses grow.
Mary Schiavoni, who owns a small business, says these tax cuts would let her hire more workers and expand. “If I got a tax cut, I could hire more people. I could pay their salaries. I could expand my business,” she said.
The bill would bring back full immediate expensing and stop new taxes on successful small businesses. JCN says these changes could create over one million jobs and add $750 billion in growth for Main Street companies.
Since the TCJA passed, federal tax revenue has gone up — by half a trillion dollars above expectations in 2024 alone. Most small businesses want these cuts to stay, with four out of five supporting them in JCN polls. Now Senate Republicans are being called on to pass this bill so American workers and entrepreneurs can get lasting relief.
BORDER NIGHTMARE: Brave Agents Smash Ruthless Smuggling Ring, Expose Biden’s Crisis
— Federal agents broke up a major smuggling ring at the U.S.-Mexico border on Friday. Over 50 migrants were found crammed inside a hidden compartment of a semi-truck. Three suspects were arrested during the early morning operation.
This shocking bust puts the spotlight back on the border crisis. Finding so many people in such risky conditions shows that current security steps are failing to stop illegal crossings and human trafficking.
The news comes as Americans worry about Wall Street’s actions and confusion from the Federal Reserve. Many blame these problems on weak leadership and broken policies out of Washington, D.C.
More Americans are demanding stronger border enforcement right now. Conservatives say only tough action will restore order at our southern border and keep our communities safe from more chaos.
UK AID SHOCK: Secret Report Exposes Gaza Money Flow to Hamas
— A secret UK government report shows officials knew British aid sent to Gaza could end up helping Hamas. The November 2022 document, uncovered by NGO Monitor, reveals a UNICEF cash program in Gaza worked with the Ministry of Social Development — an office tied to Hamas.
NGO Monitor said clearly: “UK Aid can be linked directly or indirectly with supporting the… authority in Gaza (Hamas), which is part of a banned group.” Even though UK officials deny it, critics say there are still big questions about who is watching where the money goes.
The report focused more on possible damage to the UK’s reputation than on breaking any laws. Anne Herzberg from NGO Monitor told Fox News Digital this wording matters and shows ongoing worries about how taxpayer money is used.
Many conservatives argue this proves foreign aid needs tougher checks. They say every dollar should be tracked so it doesn’t end up in dangerous hands.
UK AID SCANDAL: Secret Document Exposes Gaza Funds at Grave Risk of Reaching Hamas
— A secret UK government paper has come to light, showing officials knew British aid sent to Gaza could end up in the hands of Hamas. The document, from November 2022 and uncovered by NGO Monitor, lays out Britain’s humanitarian plans for the region.
One part points to a UNICEF cash program in Gaza that works with the Ministry of Social Development. NGO Monitor says this ministry is linked to Hamas, raising fears that UK taxpayer money might be helping a terror group.
The report also reveals British officials were worried about damage to their reputation if these links ever got out. Anne Herzberg from NGO Monitor told Fox News Digital this language is telling and shows bigger problems are still being ignored.
ALPHABET’S AI Shakeup: Surprising Value Play Leaves Investors Stunned
— Alphabet, Google’s parent company, is now being called a surprising value pick as the artificial intelligence market changes fast. The tech giant owns businesses like Verily Life Sciences, Google DeepMind, and Fitbit — assets that don’t always show up in quarterly earnings reports.
Google Cloud now brings in almost 14% of Alphabet’s total revenue. But new competition from AI platforms like ChatGPT is putting pressure on Alphabet’s main advertising business. This has forced the company to change direction faster than it planned.
Alphabet is pouring money into new projects to keep up with these challenges. Some experts say investors are missing how well Alphabet can adapt as AI changes the way companies do business.
With fewer people visiting websites directly because of AI tools, Alphabet faces real risks — but also big rewards if it can adjust quickly. For conservative investors looking for value in big tech, this stock could be worth a second look.
CHINA’S Bold Power Grab: Mediation Group Shakes Western Justice
— China has launched the International Organization for Mediation (IOMed) in Hong Kong, making a direct move against Western-led justice systems. Led by China’s top diplomat Wang Yi, the event brought together over 30 mostly developing countries as founding members. Delegates from the United Nations and more than 20 international groups also attended, showing rising global interest.
This puts China at the center of settling international disputes. By building an alternative to Western frameworks, Beijing is pushing for more control over how global conflicts are solved.
Conservatives have warned about China’s growing ambitions for years. The IOMed could weaken America’s traditional leadership in international law and order.
The Biden administration hasn’t responded yet. Many are watching to see if U.S. officials will stand up to China’s latest power move.
ORLEANS JAILBREAK Shock: Dangerous Inmates Vanish After Security Failure
— Panic has hit New Orleans after ten inmates broke out of the Orleans Parish Jail. Seven of them are accused of violent crimes and are still missing. The escape happened because locks were broken and there weren’t enough guards on duty.
People across the city are angry, blaming weak jail security for putting families at risk. Many say this is what happens when government leaders ignore basic safety and fail to keep up with repairs or hire enough staff.
Police have started a huge search to find the missing inmates. Officers say they’re using every tool possible to catch these dangerous men before anyone gets hurt.
This jailbreak has left many wondering if local officials can be trusted to protect their communities — or if more shocking failures are on the way.;
TURKISH Student’s SHOCKING Detention by DHS Sparks Outrage
— A Turkish doctoral student at Tufts University, Rumeysa Ozturk, was taken into custody by Homeland Security agents in Massachusetts. The arrest happened Tuesday night as she left her home in Somerville. Video shows masked agents taking her phone while she tried to speak up.
Her lawyer says no charges have been filed and that her student visa is valid. Officials have not said where she is or why she was detained.
This incident has raised concerns about how immigration authorities treat foreign students. Many are worried about the lack of answers from federal officials.
The Biden administration now faces tough questions over its handling of immigration and due process for those legally studying in the U.S.
RETAIL GIANT Collapse Shakes Main Street Hopes
— A massive American retailer just filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, sending shockwaves through Main Street. The company, which runs over 1,000 stores across the country, is drowning in more than $4 billion of debt. Sales have plummeted by 35% in only one year.
This bankruptcy puts thousands of jobs at risk and could cause major problems for supply chains nationwide. Experts warn that smaller businesses might be next if the economy keeps getting worse. Everyday Americans may start to lose even more faith in the future.
Many see this collapse as proof that current economic policies are failing regular people and small businesses. It raises a big question: Is Washington ignoring what’s happening on Main Street?
The fallout will stretch far beyond just one company’s books. Communities everywhere are bracing themselves for even harder times ahead.
WHO PANDEMIC Deal Sparks Outrage Over US Sovereignty Fears
— The World Health Organization just passed its first Pandemic Agreement at a meeting in Geneva. WHO leaders say it will help countries work together better during the next outbreak, but many are raising alarms about what it really means for America.
The agreement starts a plan for sharing virus samples and medical tools between countries. It also talks about cutting the WHO’s budget by over $1 billion, with leaders saying they want to save money and focus on new priorities.
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus called the deal “historic,” but not everyone is celebrating. Many conservatives remember how the WHO handled COVID-19 and worry that giving more power to global groups could backfire.
The agreement promises equal access to vaccines and treatments in future pandemics. Critics say this could weaken America’s control over its own health decisions unless Congress steps in to protect U.S. interests.
RETAIL GIANT’S Shocking Bankruptcy Sends Chill Through US Economy
— A major American retailer with over 1,000 stores has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The company is drowning in more than $4 billion of debt and saw sales drop by 35% this year alone.
This move puts thousands of jobs on the line and leaves suppliers worried as the business tries to reorganize under court orders. Experts say the fallout could shake up the entire retail industry.
“This is a wake-up call for brick-and-mortar businesses struggling against online giants,” one analyst said. Soaring inflation and changing shopping habits have made it even harder for traditional retailers to survive.
The bankruptcy highlights bigger problems in our economy, as families face rising prices and fewer job options in retail — a field many once thought was safe and steady work.
TRUMP’S Auto TAX Shock: Jaguar Land Rover Halts US Sales, Allies Stunned
— Jaguar Land Rover has stopped shipping cars to the United States after President Trump’s team put new tariffs on vehicles made in the UK. The US is Britain’s second-biggest car market, worth about £7.6 billion a year. This sudden pause could hurt the UK economy and shake up supply chains around the world.
Industry leaders warn these tariffs could backfire on Americans too. John Neill, head of Unipart, said they might “box out” American carmakers from global markets instead of saving jobs at home. Some experts say Chinese companies may swoop in as buyers hunt for cheaper cars.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer is now racing to talk with Washington and fix things fast. He says Britain does not want a trade war but will fight back if needed.
President Trump says these tariffs are meant to help American factories and protect workers here at home. But this bold move could strain ties with close allies and change how the auto industry works worldwide.
BRUNEI SULTAN’S Health Scare Shocks Nation: World’s Longest-Reigning Leader Recovers
— Brunei’s Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, the world’s longest-ruling monarch, was released from a hospital in Malaysia after a sudden health scare. Doctors treated him for fatigue. Now 78 years old, he is resting with his family at a Kuala Lumpur hotel before heading home.
The sultan had traveled to Malaysia for an ASEAN summit when he was hospitalized on Tuesday. His office says he is in “good health” but will follow doctors’ orders and take it easy for now.
Sultan Hassanal has ruled oil-rich Brunei for 57 years and holds top government jobs like prime minister and defense minister. He is famous for his lavish lifestyle and strict Islamic laws, including harsh punishments such as amputation and stoning.
TRUMP-INSPIRED Hero DJ Daniel Faces Heartbreaking Cancer Fight
— Devarjaye “DJ” Daniel, the 13-year-old who moved President Trump and was made an honorary Secret Service agent, is now facing a new battle. Doctors found three more brain tumors. His father, Theodis Daniel, shared the news this week. Support and prayers are pouring in from the White House and police across America.
DJ first captured hearts when Trump honored him before Congress last year. In 2018, doctors said he had less than five months to live. But DJ kept fighting.
Since then, DJ has been sworn into over 1,350 law enforcement agencies across the country — more than anyone before him.
The Texas teen still dreams of being a police officer one day. He continues to inspire others with his courage and determination despite his tough diagnosis.
LE PEN Shocked By BAN, Supreme Court Stirs Immigration Fears, Musk Sued Over Twitter Secrets
— French nationalist Marine Le Pen was banned from running for office for five years after a court convicted her of embezzlement. She also faces four years in prison, with two served at home. Le Pen called the verdict political and said she will not leave public life. Prosecutors wanted an even tougher sentence.
The U.S. Supreme Court sent an immigration case about Venezuelan detainees back to lower courts instead of ruling directly. Justice Brett Kavanaugh said judges must first decide if removing these noncitizens under the Alien Enemies Act is legal.
Trade tensions between America and China are still high. Washington wants China to buy more American goods and is keeping tariffs tied to fentanyl production in place. The Trump team may help U.S. farmers if China strikes back with its own tariffs.
A judge allowed a class-action lawsuit against Elon Musk over his late disclosure of Twitter shares to move forward. Shareholders say they lost money because Musk waited too long to reveal his stake, but Musk has not commented yet on the case.
HAMAS REJECTS Peace Deal: Outrage as Terror Group Demands Israel Retreat
— Hamas has turned down a U.S.-backed ceasefire deal that would have paused fighting for 60 days and freed Israeli hostages. The plan, supported by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, offered the release of 10 living hostages and the return of 18 bodies. In exchange, Israel would free over 1,200 Palestinian prisoners and let more aid into Gaza.
Commenting on social media, Witkoff called Hamas’s answer “totally unacceptable.” He said their refusal only pushes peace talks further away. Witkoff urged Hamas to accept the proposal as the best path to bring hostages home.
Instead of saying yes, Hamas demanded changes to when and how hostages are released. They also want Israeli troops gone from areas taken since March before any agreement moves forward.
The Biden administration is feeling more heat as talks stall. Many critics warn that giving in to Hamas’s demands would reward terrorism and put Israel’s safety at risk.
CRIME WAVE Panic: Supreme Court Shocks America as Violence Soars
— Police are searching for a former officer accused of rape and murder in the Ozarks. He is believed to be hiding in caves or remote areas. Authorities say he is very dangerous. They have not released details about the victims yet.
In New Orleans, ten inmates broke out of jail through a hole behind a toilet. Fourteen escapees have now been caught, but two are still missing. Police are arresting people who may have helped them. The sheriff’s office faces harsh criticism for failing to stop the jailbreak.
Violent crime is rising across the country. Over Memorial Day weekend, shootings in Los Angeles, North Carolina, Philadelphia, Chicago, and near Myrtle Beach left many dead or hurt.
The Supreme Court has let the Trump administration end protections for 350,000 Venezuelans — undoing Biden’s policy on immigration. Federal agents also made big arrests against drug cartels in several states. At the same time, abortion clinics are closing as new legal fights begin over state laws.
BRUNEI SULTAN Health Scare Sparks Fears Over Nation’s Future
— Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, the world’s longest-ruling monarch, was rushed to a hospital in Malaysia after a health scare. Doctors said he was suffering from fatigue and treated him at a local clinic.
The 78-year-old Sultan has now been released and is resting with his family in Kuala Lumpur before heading home. His recovery has calmed some nerves among Brunei’s people and leaders around the world.
Still, this health scare has raised fresh worries about who will lead Brunei next. Many are paying close attention to how the country will handle any changes at the top.
UKRAINE’S Doubts Stall Istanbul Peace Talks: Frustration Grows as Russia Holds Back
— Istanbul is set to host new Russia-Ukraine peace talks on Monday. The United States, United Kingdom, France, and Germany will also be at the table. Russia says its team will stay the same and ruled out any meeting between presidents.
Ukraine’s role remains unclear. Kyiv wants more openness before agreeing to join. They demand to see negotiation points ahead of time, but Russia refuses to share details until both sides meet face-to-face.
President Zelensky blasted Moscow’s approach. He said Russia is making sure the meetings go nowhere by hiding documents from Ukraine and Western allies.
General Keith Kellogg, President Trump’s envoy, noted that European security advisors will join this round for the first time. While Moscow welcomes their input, it insists that direct talks with Ukraine must stay at the center of any deal.

UKRAINE’S Shocking Drone Attack Wipes OUT Russian Bombers Before Peace Talks
— Ukraine launched a huge drone strike deep inside Russia, destroying more than 40 military planes at key airbases. President Zelenskyy called it a “brilliant result” and said the attack would be remembered for years. The drones were hidden in wooden sheds and sent to hit targets far from Ukraine’s border.
Ukrainian leaders say the mission, named “Spider’s Web,” wiped out about one-third of Russia’s strategic bombers and caused $7 billion in damage. These bombers were reportedly used to attack Ukrainian cities. Zelenskyy claimed his own forces planned and carried out the operation over a year.
The timing is crucial as Ukraine and Russia get ready for new peace talks in Istanbul. Zelenskyy said his team will push for an end to fighting, as well as the return of prisoners and missing children.
Russia admitted some planes caught fire but tried to downplay the losses, saying no one was hurt. This strike is a major blow to Moscow just as both sides prepare for talks that could decide what happens next in the war.
