HARVARD President’s CHILLING Warning: White House Wants to Control Who Gets In
— Harvard President Alan Garber says the Biden White House is trying to take charge of who gets hired and admitted at the school. He warns this could limit what people are allowed to say on campus. Garber told NBC’s Lester Holt that Harvard is standing up for American universities, which he says are important for our economy and way of life. He was asked how much pressure Harvard can handle from Washington. Garber said they cannot give up on protecting free speech. He admitted he isn’t sure if Harvard can win this battle, but said the stakes are too high to walk away now. For years, conservatives have called out elite schools like Harvard for pushing one-sided views and shutting out other voices. Now, with possible government control in play, many worry things could get even worse.
VANCE TORCHES Western Fear — Hails India’S Hope And Trump’S Bold Trade Plan
— Senator J.D. Vance called out the “doom and gloom” attitude he sees in many Western countries. He praised India for its hope and drive, saying it stands in sharp contrast to the fear pushed by environmental alarmists in the West. Vance said these alarmists want policies that slow down growth and make America more dependent on rivals like China. He warned that this mindset hurts families and weakens our country. He also backed President Trump’s trade tariffs, saying they would help fix unfair global trade rules. Vance believes Trump’s focus on strong American industry matches Prime Minister Modi’s goals for India. Vance pointed to growing defense ties between the U.S. and India, such as making Javelin missiles together. He says this teamwork keeps both nations safer while showing strength to those who might threaten us.
UK ENERGY THEFT Surge: Families Desperate as Bills Spike and Dangers Grow
— Energy theft is exploding across the UK as families battle record-high bills in 2025. Reports from Crimestoppers show more people are tampering with meters or making illegal hookups. The latest government price cap hike and the cost-of-living crisis are pushing many to take risky steps just to keep the lights on. Experts say this is not just about money — it’s a real danger. Messing with gas lines or meters can cause deadly fires and explosions, putting whole neighborhoods at risk. There have already been tragic deaths linked to these desperate acts. The financial toll is massive too. Stolen energy now costs an estimated £1.5 billion each year, while total energy debt in Britain has soared to a record £3.9 billion — more than double what it was before the crisis. Lawmakers say urgent action is needed, like better home insulation and lower rates for struggling families. Critics argue current government help isn’t enough, warning that without stronger action, both public safety and the UK’s entire energy system could be in trouble.

AMERICAN PASTOR’S Miracle Rescue: Faith and Grit Defeat Kidnappers in South Africa
— An American pastor, Josh Sullivan, was kidnapped in South Africa’s Eastern Cape. After a violent shootout and rescue, he is now safe. South African HAWKS police, the FBI, and the U.S. Diplomatic Security Service joined forces to free him from his captors.
Pastor Sullivan called his survival a miracle. He said faith and prayer helped him through the nightmare. He also praised his wife’s bravery, calling her “the strongest woman in the world last week.”
This shocking case highlights growing dangers for American missionaries overseas — especially in places like South Africa where crime is rising fast.
The dramatic rescue proves what can happen when U.S. agencies work with foreign partners to protect Americans abroad — even in life-or-death situations.
RETAIL CHAOS: Forever 21 and Joann Shut Doors as Ollie’S Surges Forward
— Forever 21 is heading for its second bankruptcy and plans to shutter about 200 U.S. stores. Once a mall favorite, the chain has struggled to keep up with online shopping and new trends. Closures have already begun in states like Michigan, New York, and California. Joann Fabrics is closing all its locations after filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Even their website has shut down because of high demand during clearance sales. Many shoppers are upset about store policies as hundreds of sites get ready to close. While others shrink, Ollie’s Bargain Outlet is on the rise. The discount chain will grab up to 100 Big Lots store leases as Big Lots faces its own financial troubles. Ollie’s expects to open around 75 new outlets in 2025 — much faster than usual. Retailers are feeling the heat from online competition and a shaky economy. Walgreens and Kohl’s are also closing hundreds of stores as more Americans turn away from old-school shopping habits.
TRUMP’S Bold Trade Shock Rocks Markets, Sparks Fear And Hope
— President Trump is set to announce tough new tariffs this week. His unpredictable style keeps Wall Street and America’s allies on edge. The latest 25% tariff on cars from Europe and Mexico caused the biggest stock market drop since 2020. Elon Musk, a vocal Trump supporter, is stepping up his political game in Wisconsin. At a Green Bay event, Musk plans to give million-dollar checks to two men fighting activist judges. This move puts him front and center in the state’s Supreme Court race. Inside the Pentagon, sources say there’s chaos as leaders scramble to keep up with Trump’s aggressive trade and immigration push. Despite distractions at home and abroad, Trump keeps pressing forward with his agenda. While Biden battles lawsuits in courtrooms across the country, Trump faces legal fights of his own. With both sides under fire, Americans are left wondering what comes next as markets swing wildly and politics heat up.

FLORIDA SHOOTING Horror, Trump Strike Fallout, and UK Gender Shock Rock Politics
— A deadly shooting at Florida State University left two people dead and several hurt. The shooter used his stepmother’s deputy weapon. He did not know the victims. Video shows students running for cover and hiding in fear. The attack has sparked new arguments over campus safety and gun laws as police investigate. A radical activist linked to Cori Bush is now speaking for the suspect.
Fresh details have come out about a Trump-era U.S. airstrike in Yemen that killed over 70 people targeting Iranian-backed Houthi rebels near a key oil port. This bold move showed President Trump’s hard line against Iran’s allies, standing apart from President Biden’s softer approach on Iran issues. Some experts warn this could lead to fuel shortages for millions living under Houthi rule as debate grows over America’s part in the Middle East.
Senator Marco Rubio says the U.S. may walk away from Ukraine-Russia peace talks if there is no progress soon. He slammed both sides for wasting time with endless meetings that go nowhere, saying results are what matter most right now before leaving for France to talk more about European security.
The UK Supreme Court ruled that being a woman means biological sex at birth — not gender identity — when it comes to legal rights and spaces like bathrooms or shelters just for women.
ANTI-TRUMP Protests Erupt: Outrage and Chaos Sweep Across America
— Anti-Trump protests broke out in cities and small towns across the country on Saturday. Marchers filled Manhattan streets, crowds gathered near the White House, and activists spelled out “Impeach & Remove” on a San Francisco beach.
In Massachusetts, protesters joined a Revolutionary War reenactment to compare their cause to America’s original fight for freedom. Thomas Bassford, an 80-year-old from Maine, said, “This is a very perilous time in America for liberty.”
Some groups targeted Trump adviser Elon Musk by protesting outside Tesla dealerships. Others focused on community service activities like food drives and volunteering at shelters.
These demonstrations come just two weeks after similar protests against President Trump’s administration — showing ongoing anger and unrest among left-wing activists nationwide.

Sullivan, a missionary serving with his family, said faith and prayer helped him survive the terrifying ordeal. He thanked law enforcement teams from both countries, including the South African HAWKS, FBI, and U.S. Diplomatic Security Service. “It was because of these prayers that God performed a miracle a few nights ago,” Sullivan said. Sullivan also praised his wife for her strength throughout the crisis. He called her “the strongest woman in the world last week.” This kidnapping shines a light on rising crime in South Africa. American missionaries like Sullivan face real risks while helping others abroad.

UK Supreme Court’s BOLD ‘WOMAN’ Ruling Sparks Relief and Outrage
— The UK Supreme Court has made a strong ruling: women-only spaces like bathrooms, hospital wards, and sports teams must be kept for those born biologically female. The court said single-sex services cannot include biological males, no matter their gender identity or legal paperwork. The Equality and Human Rights Commission will update its public guidelines by summer to match this decision. Transgender activists are upset, claiming the ruling harms their rights. Still, the court stressed that anti-discrimination laws protect transgender people but do not change what it means to be biologically female. This case started in Scotland over a law that said half of public board members must be women. The question was whether transgender women with legal certificates should count as women for these quotas. The court decided only biological sex matters under the Equality Act’s definition of “woman.” There are about 66 million people in England, Scotland, and Wales. Of those, around 116,000 identify as transgender. Only about 8,500 have received gender recognition certificates since the process began.
UK SUPREME COURT’S Bold Woman Ruling Sparks JOY And Outrage
— The UK Supreme Court just made a bold decision. Judges ruled that, by law, a woman is someone born female. This means transgender women are not included in the legal definition of “woman.” The ruling has sparked heated debate and could change laws on women’s rights and gender protections. This decision is seen as a win for those who want to protect single-sex spaces and sports. Supporters say it defends fairness for girls and women. Critics argue it leaves transgender people without legal recognition. Meanwhile, inflation in the UK dropped in March 2025. Many hope this will lead to lower interest rates soon. The government also took control of British Steel from its Chinese owner because of worries about national security. Other news: Greenpeace protesters were arrested after pouring red dye into the US Embassy pond in London. New rules now ban some EU cheese and meat imports to stop disease spread, Instagram will require parents’ OK before minors livestream, royals visited Italy, and prison staff face new safety warnings after a violent attack.
TRUMP BORDER Policy Delivers Shocking WIN: Migrant Arrests Plummet to Record Lows
— Border Patrol agents arrested just 15,527 migrants crossing illegally from Mexico during the first two full months of the Trump administration. That’s a huge drop compared to 278,114 arrests during the same period under President Biden last year. Daily encounters fell from over 4,600 per day in early 2024 to only 263 per day this year. Acting CBP Commissioner Pete Flores said Border Patrol’s apprehensions for all of March 2025 were lower than just the first two days of March 2024. He praised agents for their hard work and focus on keeping America safe. February saw a record low of only 8,346 migrant arrests along the southwest border with Trump in charge. March numbers dropped even further to just 7,181 — almost a 14 percent decrease. Every sector reported big declines in illegal crossings, with some areas seeing drops over 92 percent. CBP officials say these results show that strong enforcement is working and operational control is becoming reality. They stressed that illegal crossers are getting the message: if you cross illegally, you will be deported. The Department of Defense also helped by boosting patrols and driving down crossings even more.
ISRAEL’S Bold Security Zones Spark Outrage And Fear
— Israel’s defense minister says troops will stay in security zones across Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria for now. He claims these buffer areas are needed to shield Israeli families from threats like Hamas and Hezbollah.
Israel is still hitting Gaza with airstrikes as it tries to force Hamas to release hostages. Local officials say 22 more people died in the latest attacks on Wednesday.
Hamas refuses to let hostages go unless Israel pulls out completely and agrees to a lasting ceasefire. Some hostage families are upset, saying the government cares more about land than saving their loved ones.
Leaders in nearby countries and many Palestinians call Israel’s troop presence an illegal occupation. These moves have made peace talks even harder, with both sides refusing to back down from their demands.
KOHBERGER TRIAL Shock: Judge Slams Defense’s Desperate Move to Hide Evidence
— Bryan Kohberger’s lawyers are trying hard to block key evidence and words from his murder trial. He is charged with killing four University of Idaho students and faces a burglary charge, too. Judge Steven Hippler ruled that prosecutors can’t call Kohberger a “psychopath” or “sociopath” unless an expert backs it up. Still, the judge said they can call him a “murderer” during closing arguments. The defense also wanted to keep out what they called “inflammatory evidence,” like graphic crime scene photos. Judge Hippler disagreed, saying jurors need to see the true “brutal and horrific” nature of the crimes. A former FBI agent says these tactics are meant to trick jurors by hiding how serious this case really is. The trial keeps making headlines because of its shocking details and national interest.
UK SUPREME COURT’S Bold Ruling Defines “Woman”—Sparks Relief And Outrage
— The UK Supreme Court has ruled that a woman is someone born biologically female. This means transgender women are not included in the legal definition of a woman under British law. Groups can now limit single-sex spaces, like changing rooms and shelters, to biological women only. Justice Patrick Hodge explained that this ruling does not take away protections for transgender people. He said using “certificated sex” instead of biological sex would make the law confusing and unclear. Women’s rights advocates cheered outside the court after hearing the decision. Many see it as a win for common sense and safety in public spaces. This landmark ruling is sure to fuel more debate about gender identity and legal rights across Britain. Both sides are preparing for what comes next in this heated national conversation.
MYSTERIOUS DAMAGE to Swedish Data Cables Sparks International Concern
— Sweden’s Accident Investigation Board released a report showing uncertainty about whether data cables were intentionally damaged in Swedish waters. Investigators faced limited access to information, leaving many questions unanswered.
The investigation was mainly led by Chinese authorities, with Sweden only observing. This setup has sparked concerns about the transparency and depth of the findings. Many wonder if all details have been revealed.

The situation raises alarms over international maritime safety and data security, urging Sweden to take decisive action for clarity and protection of its waters and infrastructure.
UK School’s EASTER BAN Sparks Fury and Debate
— A UK SCHOOL has canceled its traditional Easter celebration, citing inclusivity as the reason. This decision has ignited backlash from parents and community members who feel cultural traditions are being undermined. Critics argue that promoting inclusivity should not come at the expense of students’ connection to their heritage.

Local community leaders are stepping in, promising discussions with the school administration to address concerns. The incident highlights a growing trend in the UK where institutions re-evaluate traditional celebrations amid multiculturalism debates.

The school plans a meeting with concerned parents to discuss alternatives for celebrating Easter that respect diverse beliefs while maintaining cultural heritage. This story underscores broader societal discussions on inclusivity versus cultural heritage in the UK today.
Trump’s TRADE Policies SPARK Dollar Hedge Surge to 5-Year High
— Demand for hedging against a potential decline in the US dollar has surged to a five-year high. Traders are reacting to the Trump administration’s tariff policies, which they believe could weaken America’s economic strength. This uncertainty has prompted investors to seek protection against possible currency fluctuations.
Meanwhile, gold prices have retreated from record highs after initially climbing due to confusion over Trump’s trade agenda. The precious metal was seen as a safe haven amid market volatility but faced selling pressure as traders reassessed their positions. The US dollar’s resilience also contributed to gold’s pullback from its peak of $3,245.

HONG KONG Freedom Faces Dark Days: Democratic Party Pressured to Disband
— The Democratic Party of Hong Kong, once a symbol of pro-democracy, is nearing its end. Co-founder Yeung Sum admitted the harsh truth as Chinese officials pushed for its disbandment. This marks a major blow to Hong Kong’s promised freedom and rights since the 1997 handover from Britain.
The 2019 protests led to a harsh crackdown, silencing voices through strict elections and media control. China’s national security law jailed some party members and shut down many civil groups. Yeung Sum showed his reluctance but urged members to support disbandment to avoid harsh penalties.
Party veteran Fred Li confirmed similar pressure from Chinese officials, hinting that joining future legislative elections would be impossible if they stayed active. Founding member Sin Chung-kai reported local warnings about potential fallout if the party continued existing.
The dissolution highlights a turning point in Hong Kong’s political scene as Beijing tightens its hold on the region’s autonomy and freedoms.
BRITAIN’S Bold Military Boost to Ukraine: A Game-Changer?
— Britain announced a major military support package for Ukraine, pledging over $580 million alongside Norway. This aid includes drones, radar systems, and anti-tank mines. The goal is to strengthen Ukraine’s defenses against the ongoing Russian invasion.
Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov stressed the need for advanced air defense systems like Patriot missiles. He urged Western allies to supply these systems to shield Ukrainian cities from Russian ballistic threats, noting that such equipment is available among Ukraine’s partners.
Russia holds a strategic edge as the conflict enters its fourth year. Ukrainian officials expect a new Russian offensive aiming to boost their position in ceasefire talks. The situation remains tense with both sides gearing up for possible escalations.
The 27th meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group was held in Brussels, led by Britain and Germany. U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was notably absent but joined via video after returning from Panama earlier this week.
BIRMINGHAM GARBAGE Strike Chaos: Rats, Fires, and Political Clashes
— Garbage has piled up in Birmingham for a month due to a dispute between the city and trash collectors. Residents report seeing rats as large as cats among the refuse. Talks failed on Monday but are set to resume Tuesday, marking the fifth week of the strike.
Members of Unite, representing garbage truck workers, walked off on March 11 over job cuts and pay reductions. The Labour-run Birmingham City Council claims its offer is reasonable, affecting only a few jobs deemed unnecessary. The council faces financial strain from a historic pay discrimination settlement, forcing budget cuts of £300 million over two years.
As trash bags overflow onto sidewalks and critters chew through them, the city declared a major incident to deploy extra cleanup crews. Photos show illegally dumped furniture and burning garbage sacks in neighborhoods. The U.K.’s Labour government faces criticism from opposition parties but insists it’s a local issue while urging both sides toward resolution.
PSG’S TRIUMPH Leaves Aston Villa and Prince William Stunned

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia stole the show with a stunning goal that gave PSG the lead shortly after halftime. Nuno Mendes sealed the win with a third goal in stoppage time, disappointing Villa fans and Prince William, who was in attendance.
PSG coach Luis Enrique praised his team’s attacking prowess and highlighted Kvaratskhelia’s exceptional performance. “Our objective is to keep the ball and be aggressive in attack,” he stated confidently.
Enrique expressed delight at having Kvaratskhelia on his team, noting his impressive mentality and skillset. The young star joined PSG unexpectedly last January, proving to be a valuable addition to their squad.
PUERTO RICO Shocks Nation: First to Comply with Title VI
— The Puerto Rico Department of Education (PRDOE) is the first K-12 State Education Agency to certify compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This action aligns with the Supreme Court’s 2023 ruling in Students v. Harvard, which ended affirmative action as a condition for federal funding. Craig Trainor, Acting Assistant Secretary for the Office for Civil Rights, stressed that accepting federal funds requires following civil rights laws.
Puerto Rico’s quick certification contrasts sharply with Democrat-led states like New York and Chicago, which have resisted compliance certification requests from the Department of Education. New York State Education Department openly refused to comply, claiming that diversity and inclusion principles are not banned by law. Meanwhile, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson threatened legal action against potential funding cuts from what he called Trump administration policies.
The U.S. Department of Education applauded Puerto Rico’s proactive stance against unlawful discrimination and encouraged other states to follow its lead. The PRDOE signed its certification just one day after receiving it from the DOE on April 3rd. This move underscores a growing divide between Republican and Democrat approaches to education policy and civil rights compliance in America’s schools.;
MARKET PANIC: Bitcoin and Stocks Plummet in US Tariff Chaos
— Bitcoin dropped below $80,000 on Sunday, falling over 3% in just two hours. This decline happened alongside major losses in U.S. stock markets. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite both closed nearly 6% lower on April 4. Analyst Holger Zschaepitz noted the stock market lost $8.2 trillion, surpassing losses from the worst week of the 2008 financial crisis.
The market chaos comes from recent U.S. tariffs that have sparked widespread sell-offs across many sectors. Despite this turmoil, some investors see potential buying opportunities as stocks are now trading at historically low valuations of 15 times future earnings projections.
Jim Cramer has warned this could be just the start of a bigger downturn for the S&P 500, predicting a further meltdown of up to 20%. As of Sunday night, S&P futures were down about 4%. Global stocks have already lost $7.46 trillion since April 2nd and may exceed $10 trillion if recent sell-offs continue to unfold.;
ISRAELI STRIKES in Gaza: Tragic Loss of Women and Children
— Israeli military action in the Gaza Strip led to at least 32 deaths, including women and children, according to local health officials. The strikes occurred as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu traveled to the United States for talks with President Donald Trump about the ongoing conflict.
Israel ended its ceasefire with Hamas last month, aiming to pressure the group into a new truce and hostage release deal by seizing territory. The blockade on food, fuel, and other supplies has worsened conditions in Gaza. Late Sunday, Israel ordered evacuations in Deir al-Balah after about ten projectiles were launched from Gaza.
Hamas claimed responsibility for the rocket barrage that saw five intercepted by Israeli defenses. A rocket landed in Ashkelon city, causing minor injuries to one man. In response, Israel targeted a rocket launcher within Gaza territory. Overnight strikes hit Khan Younis city, killing multiple civilians including a female journalist admired for her dedication by her grieving mother.

TRUMP’S Trade WAR Shocks: China And EU Face Major Impacts
— President Donald TRUMP announced sweeping tariffs affecting nearly all U.S. trading partners. China and the EU are hit hardest. The White House imposed a 10% tariff on all imports, with China facing an additional 34% on top of an existing 20%, totaling a hefty 54%. This move is just shy of Trump’s campaign promise of a 60% tariff on Chinese goods.
China reacted strongly, promising countermeasures against what it calls “protectionism.” The Chinese Commerce Ministry argues that trade wars have no winners and urges the U.S. to resolve differences through fair talks. Meanwhile, European nations face a blanket 20% tariff along with existing tariffs on steel, aluminum, and car exports.
Canada’s Prime Minister Carney has vowed to “fight” these tariffs as other world leaders assess their economic impact. The European Union has also promised retaliation against Trump’s aggressive trade policies. As tensions rise globally, nations brace for potential economic fallout from this escalating trade war initiated by the U.S..

Wall Street showed resilience as stocks edged higher despite Trump’s looming tariff announcements. While the market felt some relief, uncertainty lingers about which sectors will be most affected by these new trade policies. Concerns remain about potential economic slowdowns from these tariffs.
The U.S. dollar weakened against major currencies as traders awaited more details on Trump’s tariff plans, called “Liberation Day.” This anticipation has already impacted international trade and financial markets globally. Meanwhile, the EUR/USD exchange rate climbed near 1.0820 due to the dollar’s decline and ongoing market anxieties over impending tariffs.
In other financial news, Newsmax stock plummeted 77% after an initial post-IPO rally of 2,550%. Despite reporting significant losses in 2024, the stock’s volatility continues to attract risk-seeking investors looking for high-stakes opportunities in a turbulent market environment.

— Texas authorities tracked down a suspect in the murder of a 21-year-old nursing student after a tipster recognized him from his profile on a “Sugar Daddy” website.
Muna Pandey, a Nepalese nursing student at Houston Community College, was found dead with gunshot wounds in her Houston apartment on August 26. A neighbor reported hearing a “loud thump” from her apartment on August 24, the last day she was seen alive. An unknown male called the building manager to report the body before quickly hanging up.
Houston Police arrested 51-year-old Bobby Singh Shah on capital murder charges two days later. The arrest followed a tip that identified Shah through his online profile, leading to swift police action.
NEPAL PLANE Tragedy: Pilot Error Causes Deadliest Crash in 30 Years, Killing 72 Innocents
— A devastating plane crash occurred in Nepal earlier this year, taking the lives of 72 people. Among the victims were two American citizens and two U.S. permanent residents. The fatal accident was likely a result of pilot error, according to a report released by government investigators last Thursday.
The ill-fated Yeti Airlines flight was en route from Kathmandu to Pokhara when it plunged into a gorge nestled in the Himalayan foothills. This incident has been marked as the most catastrophic airline disaster Nepal has witnessed in over three decades.
All passengers on board the twin-engine ATR 72 aircraft met with an untimely death — including two infants, four crew members, and fifteen foreign nationals.
The investigation report suggests that both condition levers were mistakenly shifted to the feathered position during flight. This led to both propellers feathering and subsequent loss of thrust which resulted in an aerodynamic stall and collision with terrain. It appears that due to lack of awareness and standard operating procedures, pilots accidentally selected power-controlling condition levers instead of flap lever.
AMTRAK MYTH: Biden’s Million-Mile Tale Disputed Yet Again
— President Joe Biden, during a recent announcement of $16.4 billion in rail grants in Delaware, once again shared a contentious anecdote about his Amtrak travels. The president insisted that he has clocked over 1 million miles on Amtrak, a claim he has made repeatedly since assuming office in 2021.
Biden’s story revolves around an exchange with an Amtrak employee named Angelo Negri. In Biden’s account, it was Negri who informed him of his supposed million-mile milestone during a casual train chat.
However, this oft-repeated narrative by the president has been consistently debunked by fact-checkers as false or misleading. This persistent discrepancy brings into question not only the authenticity of Biden’s claims but also his credibility as a leader.
TEXAS Teen BANISHED to Alternative School Over Dreadlocks: Is This a Crown Act Injustice?
— Darryl George, an 18-year-old junior at Barbers Hill High School in Texas, was reassigned to an alternative education program following a month-long in-school suspension. The cause? His dreadlocks. George has been serving his suspension since August 31 and is scheduled to attend the EPIC program from October 12 through November 29. The school’s principal attributed his removal to George’s “non-compliance” with various campus and classroom rules.
The school district enforces a dress code that restricts male students from having hair longer than their eyebrows, ear lobes or the top of their T-shirt collar. It also mandates that all students maintain clean, well-groomed hair of natural color and shape. Despite this code, George’s family contends that his hairstyle does not infringe upon these rules.
In retaliation against the disciplinary action imposed on George, his family lodged a formal complaint with the Texas Education Agency last month and initiated a federal civil rights lawsuit against the state governor and attorney general. They argue that these measures breach Texas’ CROWN Act — legislation designed to outlaw race-based hair discrimination — which came into force on September 1st.
HEARTBREAKING TRUTH: Maya Kowalski’s Shocking Testimony on Alleged Medical Abuse and Mother’s Suicide
— Maya Kowalski, the young woman embroiled in a high-profile alleged child medical abuse case in Florida, delivered her testimony on Monday. The case has catapulted into national consciousness due to its ties with the Netflix documentary “Take Care of Maya”. In 2016, Maya was diagnosed with a rare condition known as complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) and was subsequently admitted to Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital (JHAC).
Hospital staff raised suspicions of “medical abuse” by her parents and promptly notified the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF). This led to an enforced separation between Maya and her parents while she remained hospitalized. During her testimony in a Sarasota County courtroom, she portrayed this separation as “unbelievably cruel”.
The allegations had devastating consequences for Maya’s family. Her mother, Beata Kowalski, tragically ended her own life after enduring months without seeing her daughter. According to family attorney Greg Anderson, Beata committed suicide on January 7th, 2016.
BIDEN Administration’s SHOCKING U-Turn: Venezuelan Deportations to Resume Amid Rising Migrant Numbers
— The Biden administration has recently declared its intention to recommence the deportation of Venezuelan migrants. These individuals represent the largest single group encountered at the U.S.-Mexico border last month. The decision comes as their numbers continue to swell.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has referred to this new measure as one of the “strict consequences” being enforced in conjunction with expanding legal avenues for asylum seekers.
Speaking in Mexico City, Mayorkas mentioned that both nations are grappling with an unparalleled level of migration throughout their hemisphere. Two U.S. officials, who wished to remain anonymous, have confirmed that repatriation flights are slated to commence soon.
This action follows a recent surge in protected status for thousands of Venezuelans who arrived in the U.S before July 31 this year. However, addressing this discrepancy between expanding protections and resuming deportations, Mayorkas clarified that it is considered safe to return Venezuelan nationals who arrived after July 31 and lack a legal basis for staying here.
Biden’s APPROVAL RATINGS Dive: Is Inflation to Blame?
— President Biden’s popularity is taking a serious hit, largely due to the ongoing inflation crisis. Recent polls indicate a steep drop in public support, with many pointing fingers at his economic strategies as the root cause of the current predicament.
The escalating cost of living and soaring gas prices are fueling widespread dissatisfaction. Detractors argue that Biden’s economic management style has directly contributed to these problems.
Moreover, there is mounting unease about how the administration is dealing with foreign policy issues, especially concerning China and Russia. These concerns have further dented the president’s approval ratings.
As we inch closer to mid-term elections, these statistics could spell potential disaster for Democrats. The party will need to pull out all stops to rebuild public trust and restore faith in their leadership abilities.
Marcos Jr STANDS UP to China: The Bold Challenge Over South China Sea Barrier
— Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has taken a firm stance against China’s installation of a 300-meter barrier at the entrance to Scarborough Shoal in the South China Sea. This marks his first public opposition to this move, following his directive to dismantle the barrier. Marcos asserted, "We’re not seeking conflict, but we won’t back down from defending our maritime territory and our fishermen’s rights.”
This recent face-off between China and the Philippines follows Marcos’ decision earlier this year to increase U.S. military presence under a defense pact from 2014. This move has raised concerns in Beijing, as it could lead to an increased American military presence near Taiwan and southern China.
After the Philippine coast guard removed the Chinese barrier at Scarborough Shoal, Filipino fishing boats managed to catch around 164 tons of fish in just one day. “This is what our fishermen miss out on... it’s evident that this area belongs to the Philippines,” stated Marcos.
Despite these efforts, two Chinese coast guard vessels were seen patrolling the shoal’s entrance by a Philippine surveillance aircraft on Thursday. According to Commodore Jay Tar
Biden’s Approval Rating PLUNGES to Record Low: Is INFLATION to Blame?
— A recent Gallup poll reveals a new low for President Joe Biden’s approval rating. Amid escalating inflation and economic unease, the President’s popularity is dwindling.
The survey shows a mere 40% of Americans giving the nod to Biden’s job performance — the lowest since he assumed office in January 2021.
The soaring cost of goods and services is hitting American households hard, leading to financial stress and discontent with the current administration.
This steep decline in approval could spell trouble for Democrats in the forthcoming midterm elections. If this trend persists, Republicans may seize control of Congress come November.
STOLTENBERG’S Pledge: NATO Commits a Whopping $25 Billion in Ammunition to UKraine Amid Russian Tensions
— NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy convened on Thursday, amid rising tensions with Russia. Their meeting came on the heels of Russia’s allegations that Ukraine’s Western allies aided in a recent missile strike on the Black Sea Fleet’s base in Crimea.
Zelenskyy shared that Stoltenberg has committed to helping Ukraine secure more air defense systems. These are vital for safeguarding the nation’s power plants and energy infrastructure, which took a heavy hit during Russia’s aggressive attacks last winter.
Stoltenberg unveiled NATO contracts totaling 2.4 billion euros ($2.5 billion) for ammunition supplies destined for Ukraine, including Howitzer shells and anti-tank guided missiles. He stressed, “The stronger Ukraine becomes, the closer we get to halting Russia’s aggression.”
On Wednesday, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova alleged that resources from the U.S., U.K., and NATO facilitated the attack on their Black Sea Fleet headquarters. Yet these claims remain unbacked by concrete evidence.

UK’S BIG Green Light to NORTH SEA OIL Drilling: A Jobs Boost or an Environmental Nightmare?
— The UK’s North Sea Transition Authority recently approved new oil and gas drilling in the North Sea. This move has triggered a wave of criticism from environmentalists, who argue it contradicts the country’s climate objectives.
The Conservative government stands by its decision, stating that drilling in the Rosebank field will not only create jobs but also bolster energy security. Rosebank is one of the largest untapped reserves in UK waters and is believed to contain around 350 million barrels of oil.
Equinor, a Norwegian company, and Ithaca Energy based in the UK oversee operations at this field. They have plans to inject $3.8 billion into the project’s initial phase, with production anticipated to kick off between 2026 and 2027.
Caroline Lucas, a Green Party lawmaker, harshly criticised this decision as “morally obscene.” In response, the government maintains that projects like Rosebank will produce significantly less emissions compared to past developments.
ASIAN MARKETS in Chaos: Evergrande Crisis and Wall Street Woes Trigger Shockwaves
— Asian stock markets experienced a significant downturn on Monday, with Tokyo standing as the sole major regional market to register gains. This follows on the heels of Wall Street’s most dismal week in half a year, which subsequently boosted U.S. futures and oil prices.
Investor confidence was shaken due to multiple factors including worries over China’s real estate sector, a potential shutdown of the U.S. government, and an ongoing strike by American auto industry workers. European markets weren’t spared either with Germany’s DAX, Paris’ CAC 40, and Britain’s FTSE 100 all experiencing a 0.6% drop.
China Evergrande Group saw its shares plummet nearly 22% after it disclosed its inability to secure additional debt due to an ongoing investigation into one of its subsidiaries. This revelation threatens the restructuring of its staggering debt that exceeds $300 billion. In response, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng dropped 1.8%, Shanghai Composite index fell by 0.5%, while Japan’s Nikkei 225 managed to climb by 0.9%.
Elsewhere in Asia, Seoul’s Kospi dipped by 0.5%. On a brighter note though, Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 managed to claw back some ground ending with a modest

DEVASTATING WILDFIRE Chaos: NEW Jersey Families Forced to Flee as Smoke Chokes Region
— A huge wildfire in Ocean County, New Jersey, has burned over 13,000 acres since Tuesday. About 5,000 people had to leave their homes as thick smoke filled the air and part of the Garden State Parkway shut down. The “Jones Road Wildfire” even triggered air quality warnings all the way to New York City.
Acting Governor Tahesha Way declared a state of emergency while firefighters rushed to stop the fast-moving flames. Dry weather and strong winds made things worse. By Wednesday night, crews had contained about half of the fire’s edge. Eighteen buildings are still at risk, including some near an old nuclear power plant.
No deaths or destroyed homes have been reported so far thanks to quick work by emergency teams. Still, officials say this wildfire could break records if dry weather continues.
Smoke from the fire caused health alerts and led local leaders to hand out N95 masks in nearby towns. Experts warn it could take days — and much-needed rain — before this dangerous fire is finally under control.
