IRAN PORT Explosion Horror: Regime Hides True Death Toll, Families Devastated
— Iran’s rulers are under fire for hiding the real toll from a deadly blast at the Shahid Rajaee port in Bandar Abbas. Officials say 70 people died and 1,200 were hurt. But opposition groups claim at least 250 lost their lives and 1,500 were injured.
Eyewitnesses and local reports suggest Iran’s leaders are trying to cover up the disaster to stop protests. Maryam Rajavi from the National Council of Resistance of Iran says the true number of deaths is much higher than what officials admit. She accuses Iran’s government of caring more about hiding facts than helping victims.
The explosion began when a container filled with sodium perchlorate — used in missile fuel — caught fire. The blast destroyed offices and shipping containers nearby, leaving a huge crater behind.
Sources told Fox News Digital that anyone within 200 feet likely died on the spot. This tragedy raises new fears about Iran’s secret missile work — and its habit of hiding bad news from its own people and the rest of the world.
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.

POPE FRANCIS Death Shock: World Stunned as Global News Stalls
— The world is standing still after the death of POPE FRANCIS. Business leaders worldwide have sent their condolences, but there are no major international events making headlines.
Most news outlets have shifted focus to U.S. stories, like the Arizona Department of Corrections investigation and Harvard’s lawsuit against the Trump administration. These are not global stories and offer little for those wanting international updates.
Outside of ongoing coverage about Pope Francis’s passing, there is almost no movement on the world stage. Anyone hoping for big news from abroad will have to wait until something new breaks.
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.

EL PASO Shooter Escapes Death Penalty: Families Seek Closure
— The gunman behind the 2019 El Paso Walmart shooting will avoid the DEATH penalty due to a new plea deal. Patrick Crusius, who killed 23 in a racially driven attack, will serve life without parole. This decision concludes years of prosecutors’ efforts to seek execution by lethal injection.
El Paso County District Attorney James Montoya revealed the plea offer, highlighting victims’ families’ wish for closure as crucial. He stressed that this choice avoids lengthy legal battles and appeals. “No more hearings. No more appeals,” Montoya declared, ensuring Crusius will die in prison without further public attention.
Not all families supported Montoya’s decision to drop the death penalty pursuit. The previous leadership had vowed to try Crusius for capital punishment. Still, many view this as a chance for healing and finality within the community impacted by one of America’s deadliest mass shootings.
Crusius has already been sentenced at the federal level to 90 consecutive life terms after pleading guilty to hate crime charges earlier this year. His attorney, Mark Stevens, did not immediately comment on Tuesday’s plea offer announcement.

250 YEARS of “GIVE ME Liberty Or Give ME Death”: A Timeless Battle CRY
— The phrase “Give me LIBERTY or give me death!” has echoed through history, from Tiananmen Square to COVID-19 protests in the U.S. Malcolm X used it in 1964 for equal rights for Black Americans. President Donald Trump quoted it on Truth Social during his criminal hush money trial last year.
Originally spoken by Patrick Henry 250 years ago, the phrase urged Virginia colonists to prepare for war against Britain. This call came as tensions rose in Massachusetts with British control over Boston. Historian John Ragosta emphasizes that Henry’s speech was about community and national unity, not personal gain.
Henry’s speech was about 1,200 words long but is remembered for those seven iconic words that have endured like Shakespearean lines. Patrick Henry Jolly, a descendant of Henry, notes its adaptability across various contexts while stressing the importance of understanding its original meaning.

— A senior Russian general, Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov, died in a scooter bombing outside his Moscow apartment on Tuesday. The attack also took the life of his assistant as they left for work. Ukrainian officials claimed responsibility, linking it to criminal charges filed against him just a day before.
Kirillov, 54, led Russia’s Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Defense Forces and faced international sanctions for his role in the Ukraine conflict. Ukraine’s Security Service accused him of using banned chemical weapons and called him a “war criminal.” An anonymous official confirmed their involvement in the attack, labeling Kirillov an "entirely legitimate target.
The SBU has documented over 4,800 instances of Russia allegedly using chemical weapons since its invasion began in February 2022. In May, the U.S. State Department reported that Russia used chloropicrin gas against Ukrainian forces. Despite these allegations, Russia denies employing chemical weapons and accuses Ukraine of deploying toxic agents instead.

TEENS’ SHOCKING Plea Deal in Las Vegas Beating Death
— Four Las Vegas teenagers pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter in the fatal beating of their high school classmate. The plea deal keeps them from being tried as adults. The attack on 17-year-old Jonathan Lewis Jr. was captured on video and widely shared on social media.
The teens were initially charged with second-degree murder and conspiracy but will now face time in a juvenile detention center for an undetermined period. In Clark County, minors are released after completing rehabilitation programs rather than serving traditional jail sentences, according to Brigid Duffy of the district attorney’s office.
Defense lawyer Robert Draskovich called the plea deal “a very fair resolution.” However, Lewis’ mother, Mellisa Ready, disagreed strongly with the outcome, stating that there is no true punishment for her son’s murder and calling it “disgusting.”

Despite becoming a target of jokes for his flamboyant style, Simmons remained dedicated to helping people live healthier lives. “I want to help people and make the world a healthier place,” he said in 1982.
SHOCKING REVELATION: Suzanne Morphew’s Death Officially Ruled as Homicide
— Four years after Suzanne Morphew mysteriously disappeared on Mother’s Day, authorities have now classified her death as a homicide due to drug intoxication. The Colorado Bureau of Investigation released these findings on April 29, deepening the intrigue around the case of the Colorado mother.
Barry Morphew, Suzanne’s husband, represented by attorney Iris Eytan, voiced his ongoing frustration with the unresolved aspects of the case.

They continue their quest for answers and justice amidst their sorrow.
In October 2023, investigators discovered Suzanne Morphew’s remains near Moffat, roughly 45 miles from her Maysville home where she vanished in 2020. A memorial service is scheduled at Poncha Town Hall in Poncha Springs, Colorado to honor her memory. Both community members and her family are hopeful that continued investigations will finally provide closure to this distressing saga.
GAZA DEATH Toll Debate: Expert Challenges Biden’s Acceptance of Hamas’s Inflated Figures
— During his State of the Union address, President Biden referred to Gaza death statistics from the Hamas-controlled health ministry. These figures, alleging 30,000 fatalities, are now under scrutiny by Abraham Wyner. Wyner is a well-respected statistician from the University of Pennsylvania.
Wyner proposes that Hamas has reported incorrect casualty numbers in its conflict with Israel. His findings contradict many accepted casualty claims by President Biden’s administration, the U.N., and various major media outlets.
Backing up Wyner’s analysis is Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who recently stated that 13,000 terrorists had been killed in Gaza since IDF intervention. Wyner questions the Gaza Health Ministry’s assertion that most of over 30,000 Palestinians who died since October 7 were women and children.
Hamas launched an invasion into southern Israel on October 7 resulting in approximately 1,200 fatalities. However, based on Israeli government reports and Wyner’s calculations, it seems likely that the actual casualty rate is closer to “30% to 35% women and children,” a far cry from the bloated numbers provided by Hamas.
CLARKE COUNTY Sheriff Concedes: ICE Policy ‘Needs Improvement’ Following Student’S Tragic Death
— The Clarke County Sheriff’s Office has conceded that its policy on declining Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainer requests for undocumented immigrants “needs improvement”. This admission follows the murder of Augusta University nursing student, Laken Riley. The 22-year-old was allegedly slain by an undocumented immigrant from Venezuela on the University of Georgia campus.
Sheriff John Williams, who ran his campaign on a platform of non-cooperation with ICE detainers, issued a statement in response to the public outcry. In 2018, his office altered its policy regarding foreign nationals booked into jail. This resulted in a refusal to hold inmates based solely on ICE detainers unless there was a judge-signed order. The change was influenced by public feedback, best practices review, relevant case law and legal advice.
Although Clarke County Sheriff’s Office is required by law to inform ICE when someone suspected or known to be a foreign national is booked into jail, holding someone solely based on an ICE detainer is seen as a warrantless arrest unless there’s a court order or warrant signed by a judge. Despite recent controversy and events, Sheriff Williams has upheld this policy since assuming office in 2021.
The brother of Laken Riley’s alleged murderer is reportedly connected to Venezuelan crime gangs. There are concerns within the FBI that members
TEXAS TRAGEDY: Young Girl’s Mysterious Death Leads to Capital Murder Charges
— The small Texas community is in shock after the body of 11-year-old Audrii Cunningham was found on Tuesday. Her remains were discovered in the Trinity River near the US Highway 59 bridge, according to Polk County Sheriff Byron Lyons. Audrii had been missing since February 15th, when she failed to catch her usual school bus.
42-year-old Don Steven McDougal is now facing arrest by Polk County District Attorney Shelly Sitton in relation to Audrii’s case. McDougal, who was taken into custody last Friday on separate charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, has had numerous chances to aid the investigation into Audrii’s disappearance but chose not to cooperate.
Sheriff Lyons revealed that McDougal was likely one of the last people to see Audrii alive and would sometimes drive her to school or the bus stop. Despite this connection, he emphasized caution and patience as they continue their work towards building a strong criminal case against McDougal.
Our primary goal is justice for Audrii,“ Sheriff Lyons stated firmly. ”We will persistently process all evidence collected and ensure that justice prevails for this young girl’s untimely death.
GAZA CONFLICT Intensifies: Netanyahu’s ‘Total Victory’ Pledge Amid Soaring Death Toll
— The ongoing military offensive in Gaza, led by Israel, has resulted in over 29,000 Palestinian fatalities since October 7, as reported by the local Health Ministry. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu remains unwavering in his resolve for a “total victory” over Hamas. This follows their assault on Israeli communities earlier this month. Plans are now being made for an advance into Rafah, a southern town bordering Egypt where a significant portion of Gaza’s populace has taken shelter.
The United States is persistently collaborating with Egypt and Qatar to broker a cease-fire and secure the release of hostages. However, recent developments have been slow-moving with Netanyahu facing criticism from Qatar after suggesting it exerts pressure on Hamas and implying its financial support for the militant group. The ongoing conflict has also sparked regular exchanges of fire between Israel and Lebanon’s Hezbollah militants.
In response to a drone explosion near Tiberias, Israeli forces executed at least two strikes near Sidon — a major city in southern Lebanon.
As the conflict escalates further in Gaza, civilian casualties continue to rise alarmingly with women and children making up two-thirds of the total
US-Israeli Citizen’s TRAGIC Death: BIDEN’S Heartfelt Response to Hamas Attack
— On Friday, President Joe Biden extended his condolences following the death of Gad Haggai, a dual US-Israeli citizen. It is believed that Haggai fell victim to Hamas during their initial terrorist attack on October 7.
Biden expressed deep sadness over the incident, stating, “Jill and I are heartbroken... We continue to pray for the well-being and safe return of his wife, Judy.” He further revealed that the couple’s daughter was part of a recent conference call with families of hostages.
Referring to their experiences as a “harrowing ordeal”, Biden reassured these families and other loved ones. He pledged that efforts to rescue those still held hostage would persist. This story is still unfolding.
DEATH PENALTY On Trial: Americans Voice Unfairness, Report Unveils Shocking Shift
— The U.S. death penalty is under fire as more Americans express concerns about its fairness. This change in public sentiment is leading to the increasing marginalization of capital punishment in the country, according to a recent annual report.
However, it remains unclear whether this waning support will result in the end of capital punishment. While some experts anticipate its complete abolition soon, others predict a slow decline rather than an immediate vanishing.
In 2023, only 24 individuals were executed and 21 were sentenced to death. This marks the ninth year in a row with fewer than 30 executions and less than 50 death sentences. Only five states — Texas, Florida, Missouri, Oklahoma and Alabama — carried out executions this year; the smallest number in two decades.
A Gallup poll from October disclosed that half of Americans believe capital punishment is unjustly applied. This level of doubt represents the highest since Gallup started surveying this topic back in 2000.
UNSPOKEN HORROR: Sudan’s Silent Genocide Ignored Despite Massive Displacement and Death Toll
— A shocking 5.6 million people have been forced from their homes in Sudan, with a death toll reaching an estimated 9,000. This crisis has been unfolding since the start of the year, according to United Nations reports. The situation worsens each day as ethnic attacks and sexual violence against women and children escalate. Yet, global media largely overlooks Sudan’s war.
Richard Goldberg of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies told Fox News Digital about an Arab paramilitary group committing genocide in Sudan. They are systematically killing minorities on a massive scale. Relief agencies are fighting this crisis but struggle to draw worldwide attention or secure necessary funding. Despite the challenges, The World Food Program (WFP) has succeeded in delivering food to over 3 million people in Sudan.
The WFP spokesperson voiced concern over their stretched resources saying, “Our humanitarian dollar is being stretched to the breaking point.” In contrast to large-scale protests seen across Europe and parts of the U.S over international conflicts like Gaza, only around 600 people have reportedly protested against these atrocities despite more than 6 million being displaced due to this conflict.
IRAN’S Death March: Over 100 Lives Silenced Since Hamas Attack
— Since the Hamas terrorist attack on October 7, Iran has silenced over a hundred lives, drawing global scrutiny. This alarming surge in executions, referred to as Tehran’s “execution spree,” was spotlighted by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) on November 15, 2023.
The NCRI revealed this disturbing trend while the United Nations General Assembly’s Third Committee was contemplating a resolution to condemn Iran’s human rights abuses. Despite numerous UN rebukes for their “systematic and widespread violation of human rights,” the Iranian regime remains undeterred in its brutal execution campaign.
The council implored the international community to isolate Iran as a response to these heinous actions. The NCRI denounced any form of appeasement with Iran, notorious for its record-breaking executions and warmongering activities. They argued that such tolerance clearly contradicts international human rights standards.
Independent news outlet Al-Monitor reported that since October 7, Iran has executed 114 people for “fabricated crimes,” including vague charges like “corruption on Earth” and “enmity against God.” While the NCRI estimates slightly fewer executions at around 107 so far, they anticipate this number will continue to escalate in the coming days and weeks. This grim situation emphasizes an urgent call-to-action against Iran’s ongoing human rights
MYSTERY Surrounds PATRIOTS Fan’s Death: Autopsy Points to Medical Issue, Not Fight Trauma
— The sudden death of Dale Mooney, a 53-year-old ardent fan of the New England Patriots, has sparked curiosity. The initial autopsy did not indicate any traumatic injury from a fight but revealed an undisclosed medical condition.
Mooney encountered a physical dispute during the Patriots’ clash against the Miami Dolphins at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts. Witness Joseph Kilmartin narrated how Mooney interacted with another spectator before suddenly collapsing.
The exact cause and circumstances surrounding Mooney’s death are still under investigation and will require further tests. His grieving wife, Lisa Mooney, is eager to unravel what led to this unforeseen event. Authorities are currently appealing for witnesses or fans who may have captured video footage of the incident to step forward.
The case is now in the hands of Norfolk District Attorney’s Office who can be contacted at 781-830-4990 by anyone possessing information pertaining to this puzzling incident.
LIBYA’S FLOOD Nightmare: Over 1,500 Lives Lost, Death Toll May Soar Beyond 5,000
— Emergency teams in Derna, an eastern city in Libya, have discovered more than 1,500 bodies following the catastrophic floods triggered by Mediterranean storm Daniel. The death toll is expected to climb over 5,000 as the city was devastated when floodwaters broke through dams and wiped out entire neighborhoods. This disaster underscores both the storm’s power and a nation’s susceptibility fractured by over ten years of turmoil.
Libya is divided between rival governments in the east and west leading to widespread neglect of infrastructure. Aid only started arriving in Derna on Tuesday, a full day and a half after the disaster hit. The floods damaged or destroyed numerous access routes to this coastal city home to roughly 89,000 people.
Video footage showed dozens of bodies draped with blankets in one hospital yard and mass graves brimming with victims. By Tuesday evening, more than half of the recovered bodies had been buried according to eastern Libya’s health minister. Mohammed Abu-Lamousha from east Libya’s interior ministry cited a death toll surpassing 5,300 for Derna alone while Tamer Ramadan from International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies estimated that at least 10,000 people were still unaccounted for.
UNCOVERED: The SHOCKING Truth Behind Scott Johnson’s Mysterious Death in Australia
— Scott Johnson, a bright and openly gay American mathematician, met an untimely death under a cliff in Sydney, Australia over three decades ago. Investigators initially deemed his death a suicide. However, Steve Johnson, Scott’s brother, doubted this conclusion and embarked on a long journey to seek justice for his brother.
A new four-part documentary series titled “Never Let Him Go” delves into the life and death of Scott. Produced by ABC News Studios in collaboration with Show of Force and Blackfella Films for Hulu, it also sheds light on Steve’s tireless quest to uncover the truth about his brother’s demise amidst Sydney’s notorious era of anti-gay violence.
Upon hearing about Scott’s passing in December 1988, Steve left the U.S. for Canberra, Australia where Scott resided with his partner. He then undertook a three-hour drive to Manly near Sydney where Scott died and met Troy Hardie — the officer who investigated the case.
Hardie insisted that he based his initial suicide verdict on evidence or lack thereof at the scene. He pointed out that authorities found Scott naked at the cliff base with neatly folded clothes and clear identification atop it. Additionally, Hardie mentioned speaking to Scott’s partner who disclosed that Scott had previously considered suicide.

— Elon Musk shocked the nation during a live Trump Cabinet meeting when he revealed he’s been hit with serious death threats. Musk said these threats have grown as he’s become more vocal in supporting President Trump. He suggested powerful groups might be behind it, blaming his push for free speech and backing of conservative policies.
The news set off a storm in the media. Some wondered if extremists or foreign enemies could be responsible. President Trump acted fast, promising federal protection for Musk and saying he’ll hunt down anyone trying to silence “American patriots.”
After Musk spoke, the meeting shifted from talking about jobs to focusing on political violence against top supporters of the administration. Senior officials warned this could scare everyday Americans from standing up for conservative values.
Federal agencies haven’t shared details about new security plans but say investigations are underway. Despite everything, Musk says he won’t back down — he’ll keep fighting for American innovation and free speech no matter what comes his way.
