TRUMP And PUTIN Absence Sparks Chaos at Peace Talks
— Confusion broke out at the Russia-Ukraine peace talks in Turkey after both President TRUMP and Russian leader Putin said they would not attend. The meeting, set for Thursday, was pushed to Friday as officials scrambled to figure out who would actually show up.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio voiced his doubts about any real progress without Trump or Putin in the room. He said, “It’s clear that only a direct meeting between President Trump and President Putin will move things forward.”
With neither Putin nor top Kremlin aides present, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and others waited in separate Turkish cities. Frustration grew as it became obvious that key leaders were missing from the table.
The push for peace started when Putin suggested direct talks with Ukraine last week. Zelenskyy agreed but stressed both nations’ leaders must be involved for any deal to work.

TRUMP’S Bold Peace Deal Stops India-Pakistan Bloodshed — World Reacts
— India and Pakistan have agreed to a sudden ceasefire after weeks of deadly fighting. President Donald TRUMP and his team led the talks, with Trump sharing the news on Truth Social. He praised both sides for showing “Common Sense and Great Intelligence.” The truce follows missile attacks in Kashmir that killed more than 70 people.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President J.D. Vance helped push the agreement forward. Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif thanked Trump for stepping in, but India claimed it settled things directly with Pakistan, downplaying America’s role.
Even though guns are silent for now, tough steps like visa bans and smaller embassies will stay in place. Saudi Arabia and Turkey also helped bring both sides to the table.
This deal gives hope to a region worried about nuclear war but leaves many problems unsolved — especially over Kashmir. The world is watching to see if this shaky peace will last.
CRIME WAVE Shocks America: Hospital Bloodbath, Serial Killer Executed, and Trials Spark Outrage
— A deadly shooting at UPMC Memorial Hospital in Pennsylvania left Officer Andrew Duarte dead and several staff hurt. Police shot and killed the attacker.

MENENDEZ BROTHERS Parole Shock: Outrage Erupts Over Possible Release
— A Los Angeles judge just made Lyle and Erik Menendez eligible for parole, cutting their sentences from life without parole to 50 years to life. The brothers were convicted of killing their wealthy parents in 1989, a crime that stunned the country and filled TV screens during America’s courtroom craze.
The Menendez case became a media storm. People watched as details of privilege, greed, and violence played out on live television. After the arrests in 1990, news about the brothers’ wild spending only made Americans angrier at what they saw as spoiled elites.
Now, decades later, the state parole board will decide if these men should walk free. Their possible release is stirring up heated debate across social media.
Many conservatives say letting them out would send a dangerous message — that even brutal killers can get another chance if they have enough money or fame. The case is once again showing how our justice system can be swayed by public pressure and celebrity headlines.
TRUMP’S Iran Deal Bombshell, DOJ Hits Unitedhealth, And Chilling National Security Alerts Shake America

Saudi Arabia is throwing billions at AI chips after Biden relaxed some chip rules. Nvidia shares soared on news of a huge $600 billion tech and defense deal between Saudi Arabia and the US. The market clearly believes global demand for artificial intelligence will keep growing fast.

Boeing landed a giant $200 billion jet order from Qatar — good news after recent troubles. At the same time, Accord Financial is cutting costs as economic worries linger, Tata Power plans big growth in India’s energy sector, and automakers like Nissan are laying off workers even though there’s now less tension between the US and China over trade.
TRUMP’S $142 Billion Arms Deal Ignites Fury And Hope Worldwide
— President Trump has sealed a $142 billion arms deal with Saudi Arabia, shaking up global politics. The agreement brings advanced weapons sales and loosens sanctions on Syria. Some critics warn this could change the balance of power in the Middle East.
Supporters say closer ties with Saudi Arabia will create American jobs and help push back against Iran’s growing influence. Trump’s team calls it a big win for U.S. industry and national security. “America comes first,” one advisor said.
Other world leaders are worried about stability in the region and human rights concerns linked to the deal. The size of this agreement has put America’s foreign policy choices under a microscope again.
As debate continues, markets are watching for what happens next after this bold move. The future of U.S.-Middle East relations may depend on how things unfold from here.
TRUMP’S $142 Billion Saudi Deal Ignites Hope And Power For US Workers
— President Trump has landed a historic $142 billion defense deal with Saudi Arabia, the biggest in American history. The agreement, signed in Riyadh with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, gives the Saudis advanced U.S. military technology and strengthens our alliance during tense times in the region.
Saudi Arabia isn’t just buying weapons — they’re investing big in America too. DataVolt is putting $20 billion into new AI data centers and energy projects here at home. The Crown Prince even promised up to $1 trillion more for future investments, which could mean two million new jobs for Americans.
Trump highlighted how this partnership helps both our economy and national security during his Middle East trip. The White House called it a boost for U.S. jobs and safety as Iran’s nuclear threats and fighting in Gaza keep the region on edge.
The signing ceremony was full of pageantry, showing off a fresh start between Washington and Riyadh. Many conservatives see this as a big win for American workers and our country’s influence around the world.
TRUMP’S $142 Billion Arms Deal Sparks Fury And Hope Across The Globe

In Europe, French right-wing leader Marine Le Pen was convicted of embezzling European Parliament funds. She received four years in prison, though two are suspended, and must wear an electronic monitor for two years.

TRUMP’S $142 Billion Saudi Deal Ignites Fury And Hope In Middle East
— Former President Donald Trump is making waves again with a massive $142 billion arms deal with Saudi Arabia. During his visit, Trump also said he wants to lift some U.S. sanctions on Syria. These bold moves signal a big change in America’s Middle East strategy and show stronger defense ties with Saudi Arabia.
Trump’s actions are getting worldwide attention. Supporters say this could help the U.S. rebuild trust with important allies and push back against weak foreign policy from the Biden administration.
Critics worry about the risks, but many conservatives see this as putting America first and standing up for our interests overseas.

This bold move follows CEO Tim Cook’s meeting with President Trump as Apple seeks tariff relief during tough trade talks with China.
At the same time, U.S. retailers are facing hard times. More than 15,000 stores are set to close in 2025 — double last year’s total. Chains like Joann, Walgreens, CVS, Macy’s, and Advanced Auto Parts are closing hundreds of locations each. However, some brands like Aldi and Dollar General are still growing while others shrink.

MAJOR CRIME Shock: Border Chaos, SEX Trafficking, and Judges Under Fire Shake America

TRUMP’S Bold Peace Deal Halts Nuclear Nightmare Between India-Pakistan
— India and Pakistan, both armed with nuclear weapons, have agreed to a sudden ceasefire after weeks of deadly fighting. Former President Donald Trump stepped in and brokered the deal, announcing it on social media. He praised both countries for showing “Common Sense and Great Intelligence.” The truce comes after a violent attack in Kashmir led to airstrikes, drone hits, and heavy shelling along the border.
Pakistani officials thanked Saudi Arabia and Turkey for helping with talks. Indian leaders confirmed that military commanders from both sides agreed to stop all attacks by land, air, and sea starting May 10. More meetings between top generals are planned to make sure the ceasefire holds.
The United Nations called the agreement a “positive step,” but violence didn’t stop everywhere. Explosions were reported in Kashmir just hours after the announcement. Both India and Pakistan blamed each other for breaking the new peace.
Even with this deal in place, tensions are still high over issues like control of Kashmir and water rights. Experts warn that more fighting could break out since neither side has backed down on key demands from during the conflict.
$12 TRILLION TRADE GAP Shocks America as Trump’S Bold Immigration Move Stirs Fury
— The U.S. trade deficit has hit a record $1.2 trillion, according to the Treasury Department. This massive gap is sparking concern in Washington and among America’s allies. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said talks with China showed “substantial progress,” but he offered no details.
The US-China trade war is on pause for now, giving some hope that tensions may cool off between the two countries. In other world news, Hamas released a hostage in a rare move that caught global attention.
Back home, President Trump’s team has launched a tough new immigration crackdown. This shows Trump’s focus on border security and stronger enforcement of our laws.
In New Jersey, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka — a Democrat running for governor — was arrested by federal agents after refusing to leave an ICE detention center during a standoff. His arrest has sparked outrage from his supporters and raised political tensions in the state.
GALLEGOS IMMIGRATION Shock: Amnesty Windfall and JOB Risks for Americans
— Rep. Gallego has released an immigration plan that would give amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants and raise legal immigration to new highs. The plan would boost green card numbers, remove country limits — helping places like India and China — and bring in more refugees.
Gallego also calls for E-Verify at workplaces and says he wants to deport criminal illegal aliens. But his proposal creates new visa programs that could let more foreign workers take jobs from Americans.
The plan includes building more border wall and extra migrant processing centers. Yet, it funnels border crossers through official entry points — a move critics say copies President Biden’s failed strategy.
Conservatives warn this approach rewards lawbreakers while putting American jobs at risk. They argue it will only encourage more people to cross the border illegally, making the crisis even worse.
NEW JERSEY Mayor’S Shocking ICE Arrest Ignites Fury In Immigration Battle
— Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, a Democrat and candidate for governor, was arrested by federal agents outside a New Jersey ICE detention center on Friday. Baraka refused to leave during a protest and was charged with trespassing. His arrest has angered progressives but sparked praise from conservatives who say he tried to block federal law enforcement.
This comes as the Trump administration steps up immigration enforcement across the country. Over 100 people were arrested in Tennessee as part of President Trump’s expanded deportation plan. Left-wing groups protested, while sanctuary city leaders continue to clash with federal authorities.

SHOCKING FIRE Rocks UK PM’S Home Amid Chaos and Party Revolt
— A fire broke out at UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s private London home, leading to a fast police response. Officials have not shared what caused the fire or how much damage was done.

Several Labour Members of Parliament have quit or turned against him, showing deep splits in his team.
The fire piles more trouble onto Starmer’s plate. Police are still investigating, but no new details have been released yet.
US-CHINA TRADE WAR Pause Stuns Markets, Sparks Hope and Fear

Illegal immigration is also fueling fear and rising crime across the UK. Many communities say tensions are growing as leaders struggle to keep borders secure and streets safe.
Meanwhile, police arrested several Iranian men in a major counterterrorism raid in London. This shows how foreign threats remain real — and why security forces must stay alert to protect Britain from danger at home and abroad.
US DIPLOMACY STUNS World: Fragile India-Pakistan Ceasefire Sparks Hope and Doubt

The deal calls for an immediate end to violence and promises more talks soon.

TRUMP’S Trade Deal Delivers Hope And Power To American Farmers
— President Trump’s new TRADE deal with the United Kingdom is being called a huge win for American farmers and ranchers. White House adviser Rollins said, “The deal puts American agriculture first,” pointing to bigger beef exports as a top benefit.
Farmers will likely see higher profits and gain new access to British markets. This agreement is another step in Trump’s “America First” trade plan, which helps U.S. producers compete overseas.

With little other business news on May 8, 2025, this announcement stands out as an economic bright spot for rural America.
AMERICA STRIKES Back: Illegal Immigration Crackdown Ignites Hope And Shocks The World
— The U.S. is taking bold action to stop illegal immigration. Border security and law enforcement have been ramped up to protect Americans and restore order. Leaders say these steps are needed, even as critics push back.
Crime rates have spiked in some areas at the same time. Some blame tougher immigration rules for this rise, while others say it’s about enforcing the law and keeping communities safe. Police are working hard to keep neighborhoods secure.
In a surprise move, Pope Leo XIV — America’s first pope — has stunned the world. His election is a big moment for American Catholics and has sparked new debates about faith and culture across the country.
All of this happens as President Trump stands strong against threats like Iran’s nuclear program. With changes at home and overseas, issues like border security, crime, religion, and leadership will decide America’s next chapter.
CALIFORNIA JUDGE Halts Trump’s Bold Plan to Slash Federal Workforce
— A California judge has stopped President Trump’s push to cut the federal workforce. Judge Susan Illston, who was appointed by Bill Clinton, issued an emergency order after unions and city leaders fought back against Trump’s executive order to shrink government.
The judge’s ruling blocks agencies from following the president’s plan for 14 days. However, it does not force agencies to rehire anyone already laid off. Departments like Health and Human Services, which wanted to cut 10,000 jobs, are now on hold.
Judge Illston said President Trump will likely need Congress if he wants big changes like this. This legal battle shows how liberal states and labor groups keep fighting conservative efforts to lower government spending.
For now, Trump supporters will have to wait as the courts decide if his plan can move forward. The fight over government size is far from over.
INDIA’S Bold Trade Deal Gamble: Will American Workers Pay the Price?
— India wants a new trade deal to cut tariffs on U.S. goods. The plan would lower the average tariff gap between Indian and American exports from 13 percent to just four percent. India is offering zero duties on some U.S. imports and “preferential access” for nearly 90 percent of American products, including planes, cars, medical gear, and animal feed.
In return, India wants better access for its own exports like jewelry, textiles, chemicals, and farm produce. It also hopes to get advanced U.S. technology in computer chips and medicine. Right now, India has a $45.7 billion trade surplus with America.
The Trump administration has called out this huge trade gap as unfair to American workers and businesses. Last month it threatened high tariffs on Indian goods but paused them for 90 days while talks continue.
U.S. officials want India to ease its tough rules on imported medical devices and chemicals that block American companies from selling there. Both countries are under pressure to reach a deal before time runs out — one that could finally tackle years of unfair trading practices against America’s interests.
SCOTTISH ISLAND Owner’S Bold Gift: Free Food Business Changes Lives
— A Scottish island business owner is giving away his food company for free to a young couple. Richard Irvine, 65, wants someone willing to move long-term and help keep the small Colonsay community alive. There are only about 120 people living on this remote Hebridean island.
Irvine started Colonsay Smokery three years ago after falling in love with the area during his honeymoon in the 1980s. The business supplies smoked salmon to local shops and restaurants both on and off the island.
He believes bringing in younger folks is key as more residents get older every year. Irvine says he will mentor whoever takes over, hoping it will boost both the local economy and school enrollment.
INDIA’S Bold Trade Demand: Will Americans PAY the Price?
— India wants to cut tariffs on American products, slashing the gap with the U.S. from 13 percent down to just four percent. This plan would drop duties on things like planes, cars, and medical equipment to zero. Nearly 90 percent of American goods could get easier access into India.
But there’s a catch. In return, India wants its jewelry, textiles, chemicals, and farm goods to flow more freely into America. They’re also asking for more chances to get U.S. technology in areas like computer chips and artificial intelligence.
Right now, India enjoys a $45.7 billion trade surplus with the United States — a number President Trump has called unfair in the past. His administration put tough tariffs on Indian goods but paused them for 90 days last month. Now that deadline is coming up fast.
The U.S., for its part, wants India to loosen strict rules that hurt American companies selling medical devices and chemicals there. Both countries need each other — India wants investment while America fights for fairer deals — but who will come out ahead if this deal goes through?
LONDON SHOCK: Iranian MEN Caught in Bold UK Counterterror Raid
— Several Iranian men were arrested by UK police in London during a major counterterrorism raid. Officers believe the suspects were planning an attack. They are now being questioned by authorities.
Officials have not shared details about the possible target or location, saying the investigation is still active. Security services stressed they are always on alert for threats like this.
This case shows the real danger posed by foreign nationals and highlights why strong intelligence and law enforcement matter to keep British citizens safe.
Authorities say more information will be released as soon as it becomes available. For now, they urge everyone to stay aware and trust that security teams are working hard to protect the public.

TRUMP’S Bold Justice: Death Penalty Push Shakes Nation
— Federal prosecutors will seek the DEATH PENALTY for Luigi Mangione, accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson outside a New York City hotel. This is the first federal death penalty case since President Trump’s return to office. It shows a strong, no-nonsense approach to crime that many conservatives have demanded for years.
A deadly crash near Yellowstone National Park left seven dead and eight hurt after a tour van hit a pickup truck. Victims included tourists from Italy and China. Both vehicles caught fire, making rescue efforts difficult. Police are still looking into what caused this tragedy on a dangerous stretch of road.

Other crime stories include a California realtor shot by a repeat offender, an Ohio man denied bond after allegedly killing a deputy, and dozens arrested during pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University.
President Trump’s team also named Jeanine Pirro as top federal prosecutor in Washington, D.C., raising talk about future law enforcement plans.

Berkeley as well.

The verdict set off protests and fresh calls for police reform across the country. Civil rights leaders are demanding big changes, keeping law enforcement in the spotlight.
Federal prosecutors, led by Attorney General Pam Bondi, said they will seek the death penalty against Luigi Mangione for killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. This is the first federal death penalty case since President Trump returned to office. It shows a strong new push from Washington to crack down on violent crime.
Other big stories include dozens of pro-Palestinian protesters arrested at Columbia University and a judge stopping migrant deportations to Libya. A deadly road rage shooting in Arizona, a fatal school stabbing in California, and an FBI raid on an online crime ring also made headlines.
Major legal fights are still going on over abortion pills, immigration rules, and election laws. High-profile violent crimes keep grabbing national attention as public safety stays at the top of many Americans’ minds.
TRUMP’S Third Term Bombshell: Social Security Upheaval and Supreme Court Fury Rock America
— Frank Bisignano, a longtime Wall Street leader, was confirmed by the Senate to run the Social Security Administration in a close 53-47 vote.

President Trump’s new tariffs have restarted the fight over his “America First” trade plan. Ford Motor Company pulled its earnings forecast because of tariff worries, sparking debate about whether these moves will save American jobs or make life more expensive for families.
Trump also hinted he might seek a third term as president, saying “there are methods” but it’s “far too early.” The Supreme Court allowed Trump’s transgender military ban to stay in place, while his team announced $1,000 incentives for illegal immigrants who agree to leave on their own — both decisions causing heated arguments across the country as crime and unrest continue at public events and college campuses.
FED’S Bold Move Stuns Wall Street: Trump’S Trade Fight Ignites Fear And Hope
— Wall Street took a wild ride after the FEDERAL RESERVE made its latest move and President Trump doubled down on tariffs. Investors were left uneasy. Goldman Sachs warned the S&P 500 could drop even more if trade fights get worse. UBS also lowered its forecast, showing growing worry about where things are headed.
The S&P 500’s longest winning streak in twenty years came to an end as traders feared new tariffs could hurt economic growth and profits. Some industries, like media and film, are especially nervous about possible tariffs on foreign movies, which has sparked debate over American jobs and creative freedom.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent tried to calm everyone down by saying Trump’s policies — tariffs, tax cuts, and cutting red tape — are meant to help America in the long run, even if things feel shaky now. The White House says these steps will make U.S. businesses stronger against unfair competition from other countries.
As markets react to these changes, people are split on whether tough trade rules will help or hurt in the end. Many conservatives believe Trump is finally standing up for American workers who have been ignored for too long by global deals that put them last.;
COLBERT And MADDOW’S Outrageous Attack: Liberal Hosts Smear GOP With Election Lies
— Liberal TV stars Stephen Colbert and Rachel Maddow are sounding alarms, saying the Republican Party wants to end elections. They offered no real proof for these claims. Colbert said Republicans don’t care about voters or our institutions, hinting they feel above the law. Maddow went even further, accusing Trump of wanting to rule for life.
But Trump has made it clear — if he wins in 2024, this will be his last term. He’s said there’s “plenty of time” to get things done within the rules of a second term. This directly goes against what Maddow and Colbert are telling their viewers.
These wild stories from the left ignore what Trump has actually said in public. Instead of facts, they use fear and rumors.
Conservatives see this as just another scare tactic by liberal media before November’s election — trying to stir up panic instead of honest debate.
MEMPHIS Cops WALK Free: Shock and Outrage After Tyre Nichols Verdict
— Three former Memphis police officers were found not guilty of all state charges, including second-degree murder, in the death of Tyre Nichols. The jury’s decision has sparked protests and strong reactions across the country.
Activists on the left say these acquittals prove police reforms are needed right now. They argue that current rules don’t go far enough to hold law enforcement accountable.
This verdict has put a spotlight on nationwide debates about policing and justice. Many Americans are split over how to keep communities safe while also overseeing police actions more closely.
Even though these officers have been cleared in court, heated debate over policing in America is far from over. The case continues to fuel arguments about law enforcement and public trust.
CRIME WAVE Surge: FBI and Nypd Race to Stop Border Chaos
— Federal agents are cracking down on violent gangs as crime surges across the country. The FBI now has over 250 open cases tied to the “764” criminal network. Police are also hunting suspects in attacks on officers and solving high-profile murders, like a pastor found dead in Arizona. Violent crime is a growing threat for many American families.
The NYPD is under fire after sharing a Palestinian woman’s sealed arrest record with ICE. This move has sparked debate about how local police should work with federal immigration officials. At the same time, ICE is stepping up efforts against migrant networks while critics slam the Biden administration over weak border security.
Conservatives scored a win as the Supreme Court upheld President Trump’s ban on transgender people in the military. The Trump team is also fighting lawsuits that would limit access to abortion drugs, while Minnesota’s attorney general pushes back against bans on transgender athletes.
Communities are shaken by deadly crashes near Yellowstone and shootings of law enforcement officers. As cities face more gang violence, drug crimes, and illegal immigration, Americans want stronger action to keep their neighborhoods safe.
AOC’S BOLD Challenge to ICE Chief Ignites Outrage and Legal Fears
— Former ICE Director Tom Homan is calling on the Department of Justice to investigate Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez after she dared him to “come for me” during a heated Queens town hall. The congresswoman’s bold words came after Homan claimed her “Know Your Rights” webinar could be blocking ICE from deporting illegal immigrants under Trump-era rules.
Ocasio-Cortez fired back at the event, telling the crowd, “Do I look like I care?” She insisted her advice was legal and urged illegal immigrants to ask for warrants and record ICE agents during searches. She even challenged authorities to arrest her if they thought she broke any laws.
Homan went on Fox News, saying he is working with DOJ officials to see if AOC crossed any legal lines with her guidance. He warned, “Maybe AOC is going to be in trouble now.”
This clash shows the deep divide between progressive lawmakers and federal immigration enforcement as border security debates heat up across America.
ARMY SOLDIER Arrest Shocks Colorado Springs: Illegal Aliens, Drugs, and Betrayal Exposed
— A U.S. Army soldier is facing federal charges after a major drug bust at a Colorado Springs nightclub known for illegal activity. Juan Gabriel Orona-Rodriguez, 28, was caught selling cocaine to an undercover agent just days before the DEA raided the club called Warike. The club has a reputation for attracting illegal aliens and criminals.
Investigators found months of drug deals in text messages on Orona-Rodriguez’s phone. He also held a leadership role at Immortal Security LLC, which provided armed guards for Warike and other nightclubs in the area.
During the raid, agents arrested 114 illegal aliens and seized guns, drugs, and related items. Seventeen active-duty Army members were also found at the scene during this operation.
Officials say this arrest is part of President Trump’s “Operation Take Back America.” The mission aims to stop illegal immigration and break up violent criminal groups across our nation.
PAKISTAN’S Bold Missile Test Ignites Fears Of Conflict With India
— Pakistan fired a powerful surface-to-surface missile on Saturday, turning up the heat with India. This comes just weeks after a deadly attack in Kashmir. The Abdali Weapon System can strike targets up to 280 miles away and uses advanced navigation, according to Pakistan’s military.
Officials in Islamabad claim the test was only about staying prepared. But experts believe it was meant as a warning to India. The missile is named after an old Muslim conqueror of India, which adds an extra layer of meaning.
India has not responded directly but recently showed off its own naval weapons. Both sides are showing their strength as arguments over Kashmir and water rights grow more serious.
Tensions between these nuclear-armed neighbors are rising again, leaving many worried about what could happen next.
REFORM UK VICTORY Stuns England: Farage’s Bold Promise Ignites Hope for Change
— Nigel Farage celebrated as his REFORM UK party shocked the nation in England’s local elections. Reform won ten councils, two mayor seats, a parliamentary byelection, and 677 council positions. The BBC said if these results happened in a General Election, Reform could lead the next government.
Farage called this win a “historic landmark” and said the old two-party system is “finished.” He told supporters they would make history again by winning the next General Election. Farage described his party as “agents of change” who are here to stay.
Reform focused on issues like immigration and government waste. Farage warned council workers involved in climate or diversity programs to find new jobs, showing he wants less red tape and more common sense.
Many voters said they were tired of taxpayer money going to migrant housing. Reform’s message connected with people who feel ignored by both Labour and Conservatives.

YELLOWSTONE HORROR: Tragic Crash Shatters Lives, Leaves 7 Dead and 8 Hurt
— A tragic crash near Yellowstone National Park killed seven people and left eight more injured on Thursday night. Idaho State Police said a Dodge Ram pickup slammed head-on into a Mercedes tour van full of foreign travelers on U.S. Highway 20 by Henry’s Lake State Park. Both vehicles burst into flames after the collision.
The truck driver, Isaih Moreno from Texas, died at the scene along with six passengers in the van. Most of those killed were foreign nationals. The Fremont County coroner said DNA testing is needed to identify the victims because their bodies were badly burned.
China’s Consulate General confirmed that five Chinese citizens lost their lives and eight others were hurt in the accident. Local officials also reported that two Italians died in the crash.
Police have not shared what caused this deadly wreck but said weather was clear at the time. The investigation continues as families wait for answers and support from their home countries.
US TAXPAYERS FED UP: Bold Bill Demands UN PAY Fair Share in Somalia WAR
— Three Republican senators have introduced a bill to block U.S. funding for Somalia’s fight against Islamist terror unless the United Nations, European Union, and African Union step up their own support. The “African Union Support and Stabilization Mission in Somalia (AUSSOM) Funding Restriction Act of 2025” aims to protect American tax dollars and make global partners pay their “fair” share.
Senator Jim Risch told Fox News Digital the bill is meant “to safeguard U.S. taxpayer funds and hold the U.N. and A.U. accountable in African peace operations.” The law would also require America to oppose any United Nations Security Council move that asks for more U.S. money for these missions.
Somalia has suffered years of violence from ISIS and al-Shabab terrorists, with recent U.S. airstrikes hitting both groups over just five weeks. President Trump ordered strikes on ISIS leaders in Somalia during his time in office, showing how involved America has been in keeping the region secure.;
US MARKETS SHAKEN: GDP Slump and Trump’S Tough Trade Moves Rattle Investors
— Wall Street had a rocky day. The Dow Jones rose by 141 points, but the S&P 500 and Nasdaq barely moved. New data showed the US economy shrank for the first time in three years, and job growth was weaker than hoped. Many investors are watching President Trump’s trade tariffs as inflation reports come out and tech stocks struggle.
Visa stood strong with big profits and a $30 billion stock buyback plan. CEO Ryan McInerney said Visa’s business model is helping them stay steady in these tough times. But airlines and auto parts companies are still feeling the pain from tariffs.
Outside the US, Pakistan’s stock market crashed over fears of military conflict with India, which also hurt Indian markets. In Europe, the central bank raised interest rates even though banks are still shaky after problems at Credit Suisse.
Tech firms like Super Micro Computer reported less demand for AI equipment, while BlackRock invested more in blockchain technology. Experts say investors should be careful with risky stocks right now and look at safer options as global uncertainty grows.
TRUMP’S Bold Justice: Death Penalty Demanded in CEO Murder Shocker
— Federal prosecutors will seek the death penalty for Luigi Mangione, who is accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson outside a New York City hotel. Attorney General Pam Bondi says this is the first federal death penalty case under President Trump’s push to crack down on violent crime. Mangione faces both federal and state charges, sparking strong debate over capital punishment.
Violent crime is rising across North America. A mass shooting in Myrtle Beach left several dead, and a firefighter paramedic was stabbed to death in Missouri. In Canada, a violent rampage in Vancouver has caused outrage and heated political talk.
Police also arrested an ISIS suspect tied to a Bourbon Street terror attack in New Orleans. These crimes have led many Americans to call for tougher security as worries about public safety grow.

TRUMP’S Bold Push: Illegal Immigrant Gangs Feel The Heat
— President Trump is following through on his pledge to tackle illegal immigrant gangs, putting groups like MS-13 in the spotlight. The Department of Homeland Security says these gangs are under real pressure as the administration steps up enforcement and teams up with local police using the 287(g) program.
DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News Digital that labeling MS-13 and similar gangs as terrorists gives law enforcement more power to deport them. She said letting state and local officers help out makes it easier to find, arrest, and remove gang members from our streets.
Since Trump took office, officials have arrested 2,394 illegal immigrant gang members in just his first 100 days. McLaughlin says this is only a start — and that Americans should expect even more arrests as the effort continues to keep communities safe.
TRUMP’S Bold Crackdown: Illegal Immigrant Gangs Feel The Heat
— President Trump’s team is stepping up the fight against violent illegal immigrant gangs like MS-13. Homeland Security officials say these groups are “getting increasingly desperate” as police close in.
Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News Digital that calling gangs like MS-13 “terrorists” gives law enforcement more power to deport them. The administration has also grown its work with local police, using their skills and manpower through the 287(g) program.
Since Trump took office, officers have arrested 2,394 illegal immigrant gang members. McLaughlin says this is just the start and promises even more arrests and removals of dangerous criminals from American neighborhoods.
TRUMP’S Auto-Tariff Order Brings Hope And Relief To Struggling CAR Industry
— President Trump signed a new order on April 29, 2025, to help American car makers. The rule stops the government from piling different tariffs — like those on steel and aluminum — on top of auto tariffs. This change comes after automakers asked for help with rising costs.
The order also gives companies a 15% credit if they use foreign parts but build cars in the U.S. Big names like General Motors have delayed earnings calls as they figure out how this will affect their profits. Even with these changes, car prices could still go up by as much as 15% this summer because of other tariffs.
Trump’s move aims to give car makers time to bring more jobs and factories back to America — a promise he made during his campaign. The stock market liked the news, with both the Dow and S&P 500 showing gains.
Most in the industry see this step as positive for now. However, strict electric vehicle rules in California are still causing trouble for automakers trying to follow both state and federal laws.

UK’S BOLD ASYLUM Shakeup: Starmer’s “Return Hubs” Spark Outrage and Hope
— The UK government is pushing a new plan to deal with FAILED ASYLUM SEEKERS. Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced talks with several countries to set up “return hubs.” These centers would only hold people whose asylum claims have been rejected and who have no more appeals left. This is different from the old Rwanda plan, which targeted those still waiting on decisions.
Illegal Channel crossings have already passed 12,000 this year, putting huge pressure on the government. Starmer says these hubs will help police crack down on smuggling gangs and make it easier to deport people who shouldn’t be in the country. The goal is simple: stop abuse of the asylum system and cut down on new arrivals.
Italy has a similar deal with Albania, but it has run into problems and delays. Albania’s leader made it clear his country won’t host UK return hubs — he says their agreement with Italy is special.
Downing Street says they’re still talking to other countries about hosting these centers. They hope this will copy Italy’s success in slashing Albanian migrant numbers by 95%. However, critics warn any plan must follow international law and not waste taxpayer money. It’s still unclear which nations might agree to join this tough new approach.
