— Thousands gathered in Minneapolis and Houston for the fifth anniversary of George Floyd’s death. Activists used the day to attack police and blame the Trump administration for blocking their goals.
Rev. Al Sharpton compared Floyd’s death to Emmett Till’s, calling both examples of racial injustice. Protesters at George Floyd Square put out a fake pig’s head with a police hat and held vigils demanding more changes to law enforcement.
Civil rights groups organized street festivals, concerts, and marches throughout the weekend. The events drew crowds calling for more police reform while repeating anti-police messages that have divided neighborhoods since 2020.
Many in these communities are left frustrated by leaders who push anti-police rhetoric instead of working toward real solutions that keep families safe.

CRYPTOCURRENCY SHOCK: Investor Arrested in Horrific SoHo Torture Case
— A New York crypto investor, John Woeltz, was arrested after police say he kidnapped and tortured an Italian tourist in a SoHo brownstone. Officers claim Woeltz and his group tricked the victim into coming from Italy with fake business promises. Once here, they held him for weeks to steal his crypto accounts.
The crime happened on Prince Street in Manhattan’s trendy SoHo area. Police charged Woeltz with assault, kidnapping, unlawful imprisonment, and having a gun without permission.
This disturbing case is raising alarm about rising crime linked to cryptocurrency deals in New York City.
Law enforcement warns that the dark side of digital currency is growing fast — and it’s getting harder for officials to keep up.
US FACTORIES In PERIL: Shocking Slump Sparks Fear Across America
— America’s manufacturing sector is taking a hard hit. The latest numbers show the Purchasing Managers’ Index has dropped to 48.2. That’s below the line for growth and signals real trouble ahead. Factory orders have fallen for three months in a row, with new orders dropping 4.5% just in April.
Rising energy bills and supply chain messes are making life tough for manufacturers. Thousands of workers have lost their jobs in big industrial cities as companies warn profits could shrink even more if this keeps up.
Manufacturing stocks have taken a nosedive, dragging down the entire industrial market and shaking up investors across the country. Experts say if this slide continues, it could hurt jobs, slow down spending, and put America’s economy at risk.
With talk of a recession growing louder, everyone is watching to see what the Federal Reserve will do next about interest rates. Leaders are under pressure to make a move before things go from bad to worse.

ISRAEL UNDER Fire: Shocking Human Shield Claims Spark Outrage In Gaza
— A Palestinian man says Israeli soldiers forced him to act as a human shield during raids in Gaza. He claims he was beaten, threatened, and made to enter homes first to check for danger. The Associated Press reports that both Palestinians and some Israeli soldiers say this is not a rare event.
An unnamed Israeli officer told AP that these orders sometimes come from higher up the chain of command. Many platoons are said to use Palestinians in this way during the ongoing conflict, which has dragged on for more than 19 months.
Israel’s military strongly denies these accusations. They say using civilians as shields is banned and not part of their rules or training.
Israeli officials also point out that Hamas often hides behind civilians and uses them as shields. They blame Hamas for most civilian deaths in Gaza, saying the terror group puts innocent people at risk on purpose.
TEXAS Manhunt ENDS in Shocking Serial Killer Arrest
— A suspected serial killer is finally behind bars after months of fear across Texas. Police arrested the 35-year-old man in Dallas County after a tense standoff. A sharp-eyed local tipped off officers when they spotted his car near a recent crime scene.
Investigators say DNA, clothes, and weapons found during a raid tied him to several murders. The suspect already has convictions for assault and theft.
He now faces multiple murder charges and is waiting for his first court appearance. Police are asking Texans to stay alert and share any tips that could help the ongoing investigation.
Officials hope this arrest will bring peace back to communities shaken by violence. The case is still making headlines as more details come out.

ARSON NIGHTMARE Rocks UK: Starmer’s Homes Targeted in Shocking Attacks
— A third person has been arrested after a string of arson attacks aimed at UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s homes. Police caught a 34-year-old man in Chelsea, London. He is accused of plotting fires that could have put lives at risk.
Earlier, police arrested Roman Lavrynovych, a 21-year-old Ukrainian national, and another man, age 26, who was stopped at Luton Airport. Both are accused of setting fires at places linked to the Prime Minister. The second suspect’s nationality is still unknown.
One fire broke out at Starmer’s private home in London and is being investigated by police right now. These attacks have raised serious questions about how well Britain protects its top leaders from danger.
Police say their investigation continues and more arrests may come soon as they work to keep the Prime Minister safe from this growing threat.
TRUMP’S Bold Farmer AID Plan Ignites Hope And Fear In Trade WAR Storm
— The Trump administration is looking at giving direct help to American farmers as trade fights heat up. President Trump’s new tariffs, like the 25% tax on imported cars, have made some worry about payback from other countries. Still, Trump stands firm and tells Americans to buy homegrown cars instead of imports.
Stock markets took a hit after the tariff news. Global shares dropped, and JPMorgan now says there’s a 40% chance of recession. UBS cut its outlook for the S&P 500 but still thinks stocks could rise by year’s end.
Some critics are upset with the White House for going after law firms that file “frivolous” lawsuits against the government. This has sparked debate over whether everyday Americans can still take legal action when they feel wronged.
At the same time, businesses that depend on immigrant workers want changes in immigration laws as deportations go up. Chinese tech investments and efforts by some groups to calm global tensions show how closely politics and business are tied together today.
SHOCKING SECURITY Breach: Fire Erupts at UK PM’S Home as Spies Arrested, Labour In Chaos
— British police are investigating a suspicious fire at Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s London home. Officers arrested a suspect and say this is a serious security threat. The incident has raised new fears about safety around the Prime Minister.
In another alarming case, three Iranian men have been charged with spying after sneaking into the country illegally. Prosecutors say they helped Iran’s intelligence service and targeted journalists living in Britain. Officials admit this shows big problems with border control and asylum rules.
Prime Minister Starmer is also facing trouble inside his own Labour Party. Several MPs and local leaders have quit, accusing him of caring more about power than helping families or seniors. Former Labour MP Rosie Duffield slammed his leadership, saying he only listens to a small group of male advisers.
The government now says it will tighten immigration laws after public anger over rising migrant numbers. Even as Crystal Palace celebrated an FA Cup win against Manchester City, London festivals may be in doubt because of new legal fights.
PENNSYLVANIA HOSPITAL Horror: Hero Officer Gunned Down, Staff Wounded In Shocking Attack
— A gunman stormed UPMC Memorial Hospital in Pennsylvania on May 15, 2025. Officer Andrew Duarte was shot and killed while responding to the chaos. Several hospital workers were also hurt before police stopped the attacker.
Officers acted fast and shot the suspect dead at the scene. Their quick action likely saved many lives and kept more people from getting hurt.
After the shooting, police set up a strong presence outside as emergency crews rushed in to help. Investigators are now looking into why this happened and how security can be improved.
This attack shows just how much danger first responders and medical staff face today. Many conservatives say it’s time for tougher steps to protect our police, hospitals, and communities from violent crime.
ARSON PANIC Rocks UK: Starmer’s Home Targeted in Shock Attack
— A man has been arrested after fires broke out at places linked to UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, including his private home in London. Police are calling the incident suspicious and have started a full investigation.
Starmer called the attack an “attack on our democracy.” British officials are taking this threat to political leaders very seriously. The story is making major headlines across the country.
Security for government leaders is now under the spotlight. Many people are asking if political tensions in Britain are getting worse and what this means for public safety.
The police investigation is still active. More information will come out as detectives and government officials share new details.
JAMES COOK Statue Destruction Sparks RAW Anger In Australia’S Culture WAR
— A city council in Melbourne, Australia, has decided not to fix a vandalized statue of British explorer James Cook. The monument was broken and covered with anti-colonial graffiti after Australia Day, which some activists now call “Invasion Day.” Critics blame Cook for Britain’s settlement of Australia and have targeted his statue many times.
Mayor Stephen Jolly said the council voted against spending $9,700 to repair the statue again. He claimed the choice was about saving taxpayer money, not giving in to activists or picking sides in culture battles.
“It costs us AU$15,000 every time we fix it and it keeps getting destroyed or defaced,” Jolly told Australian Broadcasting Corp. The damaged monument is now sitting in storage as arguments over national history grow louder.
Many Australians see this as another sign that radical activists are erasing history instead of learning from it — leaving communities divided over what should be remembered and honored on public land.
SNOW DELAY Sparks Outrage in O’Keefe Case: Critical Evidence at Risk?
— Questions are swirling around the John O’Keefe case after Massachusetts State Police Sgt. Evan Brent testified about how evidence was found at the scene. Some items were sitting on melting snow, while others were hidden deeper below. Brent said that warmer weather and rain caused snow to melt, revealing new evidence days after O’Keefe’s death.
Defense attorney David Yannetti pointed out a troubling five-day gap between when O’Keefe died and when Brent took photos of the scene. “You were photographing it five days after Jan. 29, 2022, correct?” Yannetti pressed. “Yes, sir,” Brent answered.
This delay is raising serious concerns about how police handled key evidence in this high-profile case. Defense lawyers often use these gaps to question whether officers protected important details needed for a fair trial.
The public is now left wondering if justice can truly be served when critical steps are missed or delayed by law enforcement during an investigation this important.
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.

TRUMP’S Trade WAR Truce Sparks Surge in Asian Markets
— Asian stocks soared Tuesday after the U.S. and China agreed to a 90-day pause in their trade war. Both nations announced big tariff cuts. U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods dropped from as high as 145% to 30%. China lowered its tariffs on American products from 125% to just 10%.
This truce gives both sides more time for talks after meeting in Geneva. Experts say the deal was better than expected and calmed investors, but warn President Trump could still change course if needed.
Japan’s Nikkei index jumped nearly 2%. Automakers like Toyota and Suzuki led the gains, while Nissan shares rose too after news about major layoffs tied to restructuring.
South Korea’s Kospi index edged up by 0.2%. Investors are still careful about long-term risks, but for now, markets are responding with relief and optimism.
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.

UK TAXPAYERS SHOCKED: Iranian Suspect In Israel Embassy Plot Housed For Free
— British police arrested five Iranians this month, suspecting them of planning a terror attack on the Israeli embassy in London. One of the men, age 40, had lived for over six months in a taxpayer-funded home in Rochdale run by Serco.
Reports say he crossed into the UK illegally from France by boat and then claimed asylum. Neighbors said migrants living there paid nothing for rent or bills — everything was covered by taxpayers.
Terrorism expert Anthony Glees called the Calais boat route a “clear and present danger” to national security. He said warships — not lifeboats — should meet migrants at the border to protect Britain.
Serco has tried using more private homes for asylum seekers instead of expensive hotels. But this plan has raised worries about safety and put more strain on local housing markets already under pressure.
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.
POPE VOTE Shocker: Cardinals Deadlocked as World Waits in Suspense
— Black smoke rose above St. Peter’s Square Wednesday night. Catholic cardinals could not agree on a new pope after their first vote, leaving millions watching and waiting for answers.
A total of 133 cardinals from 66 countries gathered behind closed doors. They are cut off from the outside world and must keep everything secret or risk excommunication.
The cardinals spent the night at the Santa Marta guesthouse. On Thursday morning, they attended a private mass before getting ready for another round of voting.
If no one gets a two-thirds majority in the next ballot, more votes will follow until someone is chosen. This process can take days, just like when Benedict XVI and Francis were elected. The world now waits to see who will lead 1.4 billion Catholics next.
HERO Officer KILLED in Pennsylvania Hospital Shooting Sparks Outrage
— A tragic shooting broke out at UPMC Memorial Hospital in York, Pennsylvania, on February 22, 2025. The gunman, Diogenes Archangel-Ortiz, stormed the ICU with a semi-automatic handgun and zip ties. He took several hospital staff hostage before police ended the standoff by shooting him. Officer Andrew Duarte of the West York Borough Police Department was killed during the attack.
Five others were hurt — three hospital workers and two police officers — but all are expected to recover. Reports say the shooter’s motive was linked to personal grief after losing someone at the hospital.
Officer Duarte had only been on duty for a month when he lost his life protecting others. Local leaders and residents called him a hero who made the ultimate sacrifice. Governor Josh Shapiro condemned the attack as “the act of a coward” and ordered flags lowered to half-staff.
The hospital is closed to visitors as police investigate what happened. This tragedy adds to growing fears about rising violence targeting hospitals across America this year.
REFORM UK’S EARTHSHAKING WIN: Voters Reject Old Parties in Historic Election
— Nigel Farage celebrated Friday night as his REFORM UK party scored big wins in local elections across England. Reform took control of ten councils, won two mayor races, a parliamentary byelection, and grabbed 677 council seats. The BBC said if these results happened nationwide, Reform could lead the next government.
Farage called it a “Reformquake” and told supporters this was a “truly historic landmark” for Britain. For decades, Labour and Conservatives have ruled politics. Now both parties are stunned by Reform’s surge.
Farage promised real change for local government. He warned council workers focused on “climate change initiatives or diversity equity and inclusion” to look for new jobs. Reform campaigned hard on national issues like stopping illegal migration and ending taxpayer-funded migrant housing.
Voters fed up with establishment politics backed Reform’s message. Farage says the party will use this momentum to push even harder at the next General Election — hoping to make history once again.
YELLOWSTONE TRAGEDY Shocks Nation: Seven Killed in Tour Van Inferno
— Seven people lost their lives and eight were hurt after a fiery crash near Yellowstone National Park Thursday night. Idaho State Police say a Dodge Ram pickup slammed into a Mercedes tour van on U.S. Highway 20, close to 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 from the van. Most of those killed were foreign visitors.
China’s Consulate confirmed five Chinese citizens died in the accident, and eight others were injured. Local officials also said two Italians were among those who lost their lives.
Investigators are still looking into what caused this heartbreaking wreck. The tragedy has shaken both local families and tourists visiting America’s most famous national park.
PRINCE HARRY’S Police Protection Loss Sparks Outrage in UK Court
— Prince Harry’s fight with the royal family and the British press is making headlines again. After he left royal duties in 2020 and moved to America, he lost his taxpayer-funded police protection in the UK. A court just ruled against Harry’s request to get this security back. In a recent interview, he blamed harsh media coverage of his wife, Meghan Markle, saying it had “racial undertones.” He also compared it to how reporters treated his mother before her tragic death. Harry isn’t stopping there. He has filed lawsuits against big newspaper companies. He claims they used illegal tricks like hacking and lying to dig up stories about him. These legal battles are far from over. Prince Harry seems ready for a long fight with both the press and his family.
Harry’s life with Meghan Markle has been under a microscope since the start. He’s spoken out against what he calls “racial undertones” in the press and often shares worries about Meghan’s safety. Their wedding at Windsor Castle only made the spotlight brighter.
Since leaving, Harry has sued several big newspapers, saying they used illegal tactics like hacking to dig into his private life. He believes these invasions are similar to what led to Princess Diana’s tragic death — something that still haunts him today.
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.;
FLORIDA HERO Cops Save DAY: Rogue Boat Drama in Deadly Storm

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.
Other legal news: A judge blocked parts of a new immigration bill, and cruise lines are skipping stops due to gang violence. The Karen Read murder trial continues with jurors visiting the scene and lawyers battling it out in court.
ILLINOIS CAMP Heartbreak: Four Children Killed In Shocking CAR Crash
— Four children lost their lives when a car slammed into an after-school camp in Illinois. Several others were hurt. Police are still looking into what caused this tragic crash, which has left families and neighbors devastated.
Elsewhere, the DEA arrested over 200 people in Colorado after raiding a nightclub for illegal late-night activity. Federal prosecutors say they will seek the death penalty for Luigi Mangione, who is accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
In Missouri, a paramedic firefighter was stabbed to death by a patient during an ambulance ride. Officials called it “unfathomable.” Myrtle Beach also faced tragedy as a mass shooting left one dead and 11 injured, raising more fears about public safety.
The Supreme Court turned down Karen Read’s appeal in her high-profile case. In Florida, police are investigating a deadly hit-and-run boat crash near Clearwater Ferry. On another front, the EPA approved summer sales of cheaper E15 gasoline across the country to help drivers save money at the pump.
REFORM Party SHOCKS Britain: Voters Abandon Old Parties in Desperate Move
— Britain’s two main parties are losing their grip. Sir John Curtice, a top pollster, says the country’s political system is breaking down as five parties now fight for votes. Nigel Farage’s REFORM Party is gaining support from both Labour and Conservative voters fed up with the status quo.
Recent polls show REFORM surging as people worry about rising costs and unchecked migration. Fewer than half of voters plan to back Labour or the Conservatives — a record low. Curtice predicts REFORM could win hundreds of seats in Thursday’s local elections, even though they’ve never run such a big campaign before.
REFORM has put forward more candidates than any other party this time — a major win for their team. They’re focusing on working-class communities who feel left behind by Labour’s new focus on city elites and multicultural policies.
This election is the first big challenge for Prime Minister Keir Starmer since his left-wing government took power last July. Only about a third of councils are voting now, with many elections delayed until next year.;
TRUMP DOJ Demands Justice: Death Penalty Pushed in Shocking Unitedhealthcare CEO Murder
— U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi is ordering federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty for Luigi Mangione. He stands accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson outside a New York City hotel in December 2024. This move follows President Trump’s call to bring back capital punishment for the worst federal crimes.
Mangione faces both state and federal murder charges. The federal case includes murder with a firearm, which could mean execution if he is found guilty. New York law doesn’t allow the death penalty, so state charges carry a maximum sentence of life in prison.
Bondi says this prosecution supports Trump’s promise to crack down on violent crime and “Make America Safe Again.” The Department of Justice also said Mangione’s actions were planned and put innocent people at risk.
This is one of the first major death penalty cases since Trump ended the pause on executions. Even though Mangione pleaded not guilty at the state level, his fate will be decided in court as Americans watch closely.
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.
PUTIN’S Easter Ceasefire Shattered: Deadly Betrayal Leaves Ukraine in Mourning
— Three people were killed in Ukraine’s Kherson region during what was supposed to be a 30-hour Easter ceasefire announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin. Ukrainian leaders say Russian forces kept attacking, with President Zelenskyy reporting over 2,900 violations and hundreds of drone strikes during the truce.
Russia denies breaking the agreement. The Russian Defense Ministry claims its troops “strictly observed the ceasefire” and did not push forward. Instead, Moscow accuses Ukraine of nearly 5,000 violations.
Putin says fighting only started again after the truce ended. Meanwhile, Zelenskyy is calling for a longer peace or at least an end to attacks on civilians — something Russia says will only happen if Western countries stop sending weapons to Ukraine.
The back-and-forth blame shows just how little trust remains between Moscow and Kyiv. Both sides point fingers as innocent lives are lost — even on sacred holidays.
FRISCO STABBING Shocker: Suspect Rushed to Safe House After Terrifying Threats
— The 17-year-old accused of stabbing Frisco track star Austin Metcalf has been moved to a secret location. The Next Generation Action Network, speaking for Karmelo Anthony’s family, said the move was needed after threats and harassment at their home got worse.
Anthony is accused of killing Metcalf during a fight over seats at a high school track meet in April. He got out of jail after his bond was cut from $1 million to $250,000. He now faces a first-degree murder charge.
The family says strangers have been hanging around outside their house. They’ve also gotten unwanted food deliveries and even received Metcalf’s obituary in the mail.
This case has left the community angry and shaken as both families try to cope with what happened.

FSU SHOOTING Horror: Deputy’s GUN Used in Campus Attack
— Florida State University was rocked by terror on April 17 when a gunman killed two people and wounded at least six more. Police say the shooter, Phoenix Ikner, used a firearm registered to his stepmother, who works as a local sheriff’s deputy. The motive is still unknown as detectives search for answers. Students described panic and confusion during the attack. Many locked themselves inside classrooms to stay safe. The university has now let students skip the last week of classes because of safety fears. The FSU community is grieving for the victims and struggling with shock after this tragedy. Elsewhere, Bryan Kohberger’s lawyers are fighting over evidence in his murder trial. In California, an illegal immigrant soccer coach faces charges for killing a 13-year-old boy and assaulting another teen. And in Washington D.C., a stabbing happened at a transit station just as Secretary Sean Duffy arrived to talk about public safety — putting crime concerns back in the spotlight.
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.

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.

TRUMP DOJ Unleashes Justice: Death Penalty Sought in Shocking CEO Murder
— Federal prosecutors, led by Attorney General Pam Bondi, are seeking the death penalty for Luigi Mangione. Mangione is accused of killing Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthcare, outside a New York City hotel on December 4, 2024. Bondi called it a “premeditated, cold-blooded assassination that shocked America.”
This is the first federal death penalty case under President Trump’s current term. The move shows a return to tough-on-crime policies and keeps Trump’s promise to crack down on violent offenders.
Thompson was a family man with two young children. His murder has sparked debate about public safety and how the justice system handles dangerous criminals. Mangione has pleaded not guilty and faces charges in both federal and state courts.
The case is getting heavy media coverage and will test the administration’s approach to law and order. Many conservatives say this action is needed to restore accountability for brutal crimes.;
NHS ENGLAND’S Shocking Diversity Push: White Candidates Fear Unfair Hiring
— NHS England is telling local branches to put at least one black or ethnic minority candidate on every hiring shortlist, according to leaked documents. This plan copies the NFL’s “Rooney Rule” and has sparked claims that white applicants are being pushed aside for the sake of diversity. One NHS region told hospitals to “consider using a version of the Rooney Rule” or make sure more people from under-represented groups get shortlisted. The NHS even praised a hospital for only moving forward with hiring if there was at least one woman and one minority candidate on the list. Conservative MP Neil O’Brien called these rules “race-based hiring.” He says they focus on skin color instead of merit and ignore each person’s unique background. O’Brien warns this could hurt trust in public services. UK law technically bans positive discrimination, but Labour’s 2010 Equality Act has loopholes that let employers give special treatment to minorities. Critics argue this puts fairness at risk and could lower standards in healthcare when it matters most.
US-IRAN TALKS in Oman: A Hopeful Step or Dangerous Gamble?
— A significant meeting took place in Oman between U.S. and Iranian officials. Special Envoy Witkoff and U.S. Ambassador Ana Escrogima met with Iranian Foreign Minister Dr. Abbas Araghchi, hosted by Omani Foreign Minister Said Badr in Muscat. The talks were described as positive, with the U.S. thanking Oman for its support.
Special Envoy Witkoff highlighted President Trump’s directive to resolve differences through dialogue if possible, noting the complexity of the issues at hand. The meeting was seen as a step forward toward a mutually beneficial outcome, with both sides agreeing to meet again next Saturday.
President Trump stressed the importance of these talks alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last Monday, stating that Iran must not have nuclear weapons. He expressed hope for a diplomatic solution but warned that failure could lead to “very dangerous territory,” suggesting Iran would face “great danger” if talks failed.
BRITISH NATIONALS in IDF Face Shocking WAR Crime Allegations
— A group of lawyers, led by human rights barrister Michael Mansfield KC, has filed a war crime complaint against 10 British nationals linked to the Israeli military. These individuals, whose identities are kept secret for legal reasons, include officers and dual nationals. The allegations focus on possible war crimes during their service with the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF).
Paul Heron, legal director at PILC, pointed out the unique challenges this investigation faces. With experience in the Met Police War Crimes Unit, he expects a thorough probe into these serious accusations. These claims differ from those made by the International Criminal Court about Israel’s alleged starvation tactics as war crimes.
Independent MP Iqbal Mohamed expressed concerns about constituents unknowingly living near individuals involved in alleged war crimes. This raises questions about accountability and how the public views such serious accusations. Meanwhile, the Metropolitan Police confirmed they will decide whether to investigate these claims of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
AMERICANS CHARGED in Congo Coup Attempt: Shocking Details Revealed
— Three AMERICANS face charges for their role in a coup attempt to overthrow Congo’s government, says the U.S. Justice Department. They were initially sentenced to death in Congo but had their sentences reduced to life imprisonment before being sent back to the U.S. A fourth person, an explosives expert, is also charged for his involvement.
The failed coup last year was led by opposition figure Christian Malanga and resulted in six deaths. Among those charged is 22-year-old Marcel Malanga, son of the deceased leader of the coup attempt. His father livestreamed from the presidential palace during the attack and was killed while resisting arrest.
The charges come from an FBI investigation that uncovered plans by these men to supply weapons and explosives to a rebel army aiming to topple Congo’s government. Their return aligns with Congolese talks about a minerals deal with America, seeking security help against rebels in eastern Congo.
