QUEEN’S Shocking Betrayal: Art Adviser Exposed as Soviet SPY
— Newly released documents reveal that Queen Elizabeth II was unaware of her art adviser Anthony Blunt’s double life as a Soviet spy. British intelligence agency MI5 disclosed files showing Blunt, a royal art historian, confessed to passing secrets to Russia’s KGB during World War II. Despite his confession, Blunt kept his position and knighthood, with palace officials choosing not to inform the queen to avoid adding to her worries.
Blunt was part of a notorious spy ring linked to Cambridge University in the 1930s that leaked information from within the U.K.’s intelligence establishment. He expressed “profound relief” after confessing his espionage activities in 1964 but continued working at Buckingham Palace. The decision not to tell Queen Elizabeth was made by her private secretary Martin Charteris and MI5 chief Michael Hanley, who saw no benefit in troubling her with this knowledge at the time.
The government eventually informed Queen Elizabeth about Blunt’s espionage activities in 1973 due to concerns over potential media backlash upon his death. Charteris reported that she reacted calmly and without surprise, recalling suspicions from as early as the 1950s. Historian Christopher Andrew notes that she had been previously briefed on Blunt’s activities in “general terms,” suggesting some awareness of his actions before being officially told
MINNESOTA’S Shocking GUN LAW: ATF Etrace Mandate Sparks Outrage
— Minnesota just passed a new law forcing police to trace every gun found at crime scenes using the federal ATF’s eTrace system. Departments must also share this data across the state. The law kicks in this summer and aims to make gun crime investigations more uniform.
The Minnesota Sheriffs’ Association is now working on updates and training for officers to follow these new rules. State officials claim that eTrace will help track where guns used in crimes come from, making it easier for police to connect the dots.
Big city departments like Minneapolis and St. Paul already use eTrace, sending gun info straight to the feds. Supporters argue that this gives police a clear way to find criminals who use firearms.
But many conservatives are raising red flags about more federal control over local policing. They say real solutions come from local action — not Washington mandates that could threaten Second Amendment rights and privacy.
WHITE BRITISH Minority Shock: Report Warns of Rapid UK Demographic Shift
— A new report warns that White British people with two White British parents could become a minority in the United Kingdom by 2063. Professor Matt Goodwin’s study, from the Centre for Heterodox Social Science at the University of Buckingham, says their share of the population could drop from 73 percent today to just 22.7 percent by century’s end.
Professor Goodwin calls this an “enormous and historically unprecedented” change for Britain. He points out that only four in ten people will be able to trace their roots back several generations in the UK — down from eight in ten today.
The report blames high levels of migration and lower birth rates among native Britons for this shift. It also predicts one in five people could be Muslim by 2100, raising serious questions about whether leaders are ready for such sweeping changes.
Past forecasts missed how fast this would happen. Rising immigration has sped up predictions, moving up the date when White Britons become a minority by decades compared to warnings made just twenty years ago.
HOUSE SMASHES Through Border Bill: GOP’S Bold Stand Ignites Fierce Showdown
— The House of Representatives just passed a major IMMIGRATION and spending bill packed with tougher border rules. The new law boosts border security money, cracks down on illegal crossings, and tightens visa policies. Republicans say these steps will protect Americans and make the country safer.
The bill also ramps up funding for defense and police — clear signs of GOP values before the 2025 election season kicks into high gear. Democrats are fighting back, warning that the changes could hurt migrants and strain America’s ties with other countries.
Even though it passed in the House, this bill faces a tough road in the Senate where party lines run deep. This heated debate is shining a spotlight on just how divided Congress is over immigration and government spending priorities right now.
FLORIDA HUMAN Trafficking Bust Shocks State: Over 50 Innocents Freed in Heroic Raid
— Federal agents in Florida carried out “Operation Free?&?Safe” early this morning, breaking up a large human trafficking ring. More than 50 victims — including children — were rescued, and police arrested 12 suspects. The bust came after six months of undercover work that uncovered forced labor and prostitution across several counties.
Police searched homes throughout Miami, finding illegal drugs, guns, and piles of cash linked to the trafficking ring. Investigators say the “Miami Kings” gang ran the operation with help from crime groups in Central America.
U.S. Attorney Lisa Carter said this shows law enforcement’s strong commitment to stopping these evil networks and protecting vulnerable people. Children saved from the ring are now getting medical help as police continue their investigation.
Community leaders praised officers for their work, calling it a big win against human trafficking in Florida. Police expect more arrests as they hunt for other members tied to the gang.;
UK AID SCANDAL: Secret Document Exposes Gaza Funds at Grave Risk of Reaching Hamas
— A secret UK government paper has come to light, showing officials knew British aid sent to Gaza could end up in the hands of Hamas. The document, from November 2022 and uncovered by NGO Monitor, lays out Britain’s humanitarian plans for the region.
One part points to a UNICEF cash program in Gaza that works with the Ministry of Social Development. NGO Monitor says this ministry is linked to Hamas, raising fears that UK taxpayer money might be helping a terror group.
The report also reveals British officials were worried about damage to their reputation if these links ever got out. Anne Herzberg from NGO Monitor told Fox News Digital this language is telling and shows bigger problems are still being ignored.
HOUSE REPUBLICANS Ignite Hope With Bold TAX Cuts for Small Business
— House Republicans are pushing a bill to make the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) permanent. The plan also raises the small business tax break from 20% to 23%. Job Creators Network (JCN) has backed this idea for years, saying it will help local businesses grow.
Mary Schiavoni, who owns a small business, says these tax cuts would let her hire more workers and expand. “If I got a tax cut, I could hire more people. I could pay their salaries. I could expand my business,” she said.
The bill would bring back full immediate expensing and stop new taxes on successful small businesses. JCN says these changes could create over one million jobs and add $750 billion in growth for Main Street companies.
Since the TCJA passed, federal tax revenue has gone up — by half a trillion dollars above expectations in 2024 alone. Most small businesses want these cuts to stay, with four out of five supporting them in JCN polls. Now Senate Republicans are being called on to pass this bill so American workers and entrepreneurs can get lasting relief.
UK AID SHOCK: Secret Report Exposes Gaza Money Flow to Hamas
— A secret UK government report shows officials knew British aid sent to Gaza could end up helping Hamas. The November 2022 document, uncovered by NGO Monitor, reveals a UNICEF cash program in Gaza worked with the Ministry of Social Development — an office tied to Hamas.
NGO Monitor said clearly: “UK Aid can be linked directly or indirectly with supporting the… authority in Gaza (Hamas), which is part of a banned group.” Even though UK officials deny it, critics say there are still big questions about who is watching where the money goes.
The report focused more on possible damage to the UK’s reputation than on breaking any laws. Anne Herzberg from NGO Monitor told Fox News Digital this wording matters and shows ongoing worries about how taxpayer money is used.
Many conservatives argue this proves foreign aid needs tougher checks. They say every dollar should be tracked so it doesn’t end up in dangerous hands.
HAMAS REJECTS Peace Deal: Outrage as Terror Group Demands Israel Retreat
— Hamas has turned down a U.S.-backed ceasefire deal that would have paused fighting for 60 days and freed Israeli hostages. The plan, supported by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, offered the release of 10 living hostages and the return of 18 bodies. In exchange, Israel would free over 1,200 Palestinian prisoners and let more aid into Gaza.
Commenting on social media, Witkoff called Hamas’s answer “totally unacceptable.” He said their refusal only pushes peace talks further away. Witkoff urged Hamas to accept the proposal as the best path to bring hostages home.
Instead of saying yes, Hamas demanded changes to when and how hostages are released. They also want Israeli troops gone from areas taken since March before any agreement moves forward.
The Biden administration is feeling more heat as talks stall. Many critics warn that giving in to Hamas’s demands would reward terrorism and put Israel’s safety at risk.
BRUNEI SULTAN’S Health Scare Shocks Nation: World’s Longest-Reigning Leader Recovers
— Brunei’s Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, the world’s longest-ruling monarch, was released from a hospital in Malaysia after a sudden health scare. Doctors treated him for fatigue. Now 78 years old, he is resting with his family at a Kuala Lumpur hotel before heading home.
The sultan had traveled to Malaysia for an ASEAN summit when he was hospitalized on Tuesday. His office says he is in “good health” but will follow doctors’ orders and take it easy for now.
Sultan Hassanal has ruled oil-rich Brunei for 57 years and holds top government jobs like prime minister and defense minister. He is famous for his lavish lifestyle and strict Islamic laws, including harsh punishments such as amputation and stoning.
UKRAINE’S Doubts Stall Istanbul Peace Talks: Frustration Grows as Russia Holds Back
— Istanbul is set to host new Russia-Ukraine peace talks on Monday. The United States, United Kingdom, France, and Germany will also be at the table. Russia says its team will stay the same and ruled out any meeting between presidents.
Ukraine’s role remains unclear. Kyiv wants more openness before agreeing to join. They demand to see negotiation points ahead of time, but Russia refuses to share details until both sides meet face-to-face.
President Zelensky blasted Moscow’s approach. He said Russia is making sure the meetings go nowhere by hiding documents from Ukraine and Western allies.
General Keith Kellogg, President Trump’s envoy, noted that European security advisors will join this round for the first time. While Moscow welcomes their input, it insists that direct talks with Ukraine must stay at the center of any deal.
NYC CORRUPTION Scandal Shakes City Hall: Outrage Grows Over Secret Bribes
— A major CORRUPTION scandal is rocking New York City Hall. Federal agents are investigating a top city official accused of taking bribes from a construction company to hand out city contracts. The probe started after authorities found suspicious messages and money transfers.
Investigators say the official used fake companies and hidden bank accounts to cover up the kickbacks. Police have searched homes linked to the official and their close contacts. Witnesses are now being questioned as more evidence comes in.
This case has sent shockwaves through local politics, with many demanding tougher rules for how city contracts are given out. Legal experts warn that if charges stick, they could include corruption, conspiracy, and money laundering.
The scandal puts a spotlight on ongoing problems in Democrat-led cities like New York. As investigators dig deeper, public trust hangs in the balance — people want answers about just how far this scheme goes.
TURKEY’S Emergency Sparks Panic: Unrest and Economic Pain Rock the Nation
— Turkey’s leaders have declared a state of emergency as anger boils over in major cities. The Turkish lira has crashed, losing more than 15% of its value in just a month. Streets in Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir are packed with protesters while police ramp up their presence.
The government now holds new powers to arrest people without quick charges and limit public gatherings. Officials say these tough steps are needed to bring back order and fix the battered economy, which is suffering from high inflation and rising debt.
Opposition voices call the move a power grab meant to crush free speech. International groups are also raising alarms about Turkey’s shrinking freedoms under this emergency rule.
The Turkish stock market took a nosedive as investors pulled out fast. Protests rage on across several cities, leaving citizens uneasy about what comes next for their country — and for global markets watching closely.
UK SUPREME COURT Shocks Nation: “Woman” NOW Means Biological Female Only
— The UK Supreme Court just ruled that the word “woman” in law means only those born female. Transgender women are now excluded from being recognized as women under British law. Supporters say this protects girls and women, especially in sports and single-sex spaces.
Opponents claim the ruling leaves transgender women without legal rights or protection. The decision has sparked fierce debate across Britain and could push lawmakers to revisit gender laws soon.
This comes as the UK faces other big headlines: inflation is dropping, the government took back British Steel from Chinese owners, and new rules will tighten food imports from Europe. Police also arrested Greenpeace activists after they dumped red dye into a pond at the US Embassy in London.
Instagram now makes parents approve if minors want to livestream, while prison staff got new safety warnings after a violent attack on duty. The Supreme Court’s move is a major shift for how gender identity will be handled by British law going forward.
GAL GADOT Faces Vicious Attacks: London Protesters Target Star for Supporting Israel
— Gal Gadot, the Israeli actress best known as Wonder Woman, is under fire in London. Pro-Palestinian protesters have harassed her after she spoke out in support of Israel following the brutal October 7 Hamas terror attack that killed over a thousand innocent people.
London Police arrested five protesters on charges including harassment and workplace-related offenses. Superintendent Neil Holyoak said police “will not tolerate the harassment of or unlawful interference with those trying to go about their legitimate professional work in London.”
Protesters have tracked Gadot’s film set across the city, shouting insults and calling her a “terrorist” because she once served in Israel’s Defense Forces. Even with this backlash, Gadot explained that while she prefers to avoid politics, she could not stay silent after seeing what Hamas did on October 7.
Gadot’s experience shows how far some activists will go to silence voices they disagree with — even when it means attacking someone for standing up against terrorism.
NEW ORLEANS Jail Escape Shocks City: Security Blunders Spark Outrage
— Ten inmates broke out of the Orleans Parish Jail on May 16 by cutting a hole behind a toilet and climbing over a wall. Security cameras caught them running across an interstate. The escape exposed serious problems, like broken locks, too few staff, and missing deputies during the breakout.
The words “To Easy LoL” were left above the hole, mocking jail security. Investigators think some inmates had help from inside. Three jail workers are now suspended while the investigation continues. Some of the escapees are violent criminals charged with murder and attacking staff.
Seven out of ten inmates are still on the run even after a massive manhunt by local, state, and federal officers. Public safety is at risk. Residents have been warned to stay alert, and some victims have even moved for their own safety.
Jail leaders admit they need urgent repairs—$5.2 million just for new locks — and more staff to stop another disaster like this one. District Attorney Jason Williams called these failures “inexcusable” as pressure grows for real change and accountability in New Orleans’ justice system.
TRUMP’S Shocking Pardons Ignite Outrage as Hoover Walks Free
— Former President Donald Trump has commuted the sentence of Larry Hoover, a notorious Chicago gang leader serving life behind bars. This bold move has set off heated debate about public safety and justice. Many prosecutors say Hoover never gave up his gang ties, raising fears about rising crime in Chicago and other cities.
Trump’s wave of pardons didn’t stop with Hoover. He also granted clemency to over two dozen others, including political allies, rapper NBA YoungBoy, and public figures who backed him or claimed they were targeted for their beliefs. Critics argue this mix of pardons helps Trump’s friends more than everyday Americans.
At the same time, the Trump administration is cracking down on Chinese students by revoking visas as tensions with China grow. Despite pushback over crowded detention centers, immigration enforcement is staying tough.
A federal court just blocked Trump from using emergency powers to slap broad tariffs on imports — a setback for his trade plans. Over Memorial Day weekend, violence spiked in several cities across the country, putting a spotlight on law enforcement struggles and concerns about keeping Americans safe.
SHOCKING ARSON Rocks UK Prime Minister’S Home: Security Fears Ignite
— A suspicious fire tore through Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s London home, leaving the area damaged and forcing police to seal off the neighborhood. Officers moved fast and caught a suspect at the scene.
Authorities have not shared any details about why it happened or who was arrested. The silence has left many people worried and guessing about what really went on.
This event puts a spotlight on political security in Britain. People are asking if leaders are truly safe from targeted attacks with current protections in place.
UK SUPREME COURT Shocks Nation: “Woman” Now Means Biological Female Only
— The UK Supreme Court stunned the country on April 17, 2025, by ruling that only those born female can be legally called “women.” This means transgender women are no longer recognized as women under UK law. The decision has sparked fierce debate nationwide.
Supporters say this is a big win for women’s rights. They believe it protects fairness in single-sex spaces and sports, making sure opportunities stay open for biological females.
Critics argue the ruling leaves transgender people without important legal protections and makes them more vulnerable. They say it could lead to more discrimination against the trans community.
This historic decision could change gender laws and what it means to be a woman in Britain for years ahead. It comes as other major news hits the UK, including falling inflation and new bans on EU cheese and meat imports.
CARGO SHIP Disaster Sparks Fears: Israeli Strikes and China’s Bold Space Mission Rock the World
— A cargo ship flying a Liberian flag, MSC ELSA 3, flipped over near Kerala, India on May 25. The ship was loaded with 640 containers, including dangerous chemicals. This accident has people worried about safety at sea and possible harm to the environment.
India’s weather service said the southwest monsoon arrived early this year — eight days ahead of schedule. Experts think this sudden weather change may have played a part in the cargo ship disaster.
In the Middle East, Israeli drones killed four Hezbollah fighters in southern Lebanon. This happened even though there was supposed to be a ceasefire since last November. These strikes are raising tensions in an already troubled region.
At the same time, China is getting ready to launch its first mission to study and collect samples from an asteroid close to Earth. In Europe, leaders agreed to end most economic sanctions on Syria except for those linked to security issues — a signal that some countries may be changing their approach toward Syria’s government.
EUROPEAN UNION Slams Porn Sites: Outrage Grows Over Child Safety Failures
— The European Union is cracking down on major porn sites like Pornhub, Stripchat, XNXX, and XVideos. Officials say these websites are not doing enough to keep kids safe from adult content. The main concern is weak age checks that let minors slip through the cracks.
Regulators also claim the sites have failed to protect users’ privacy and have not done proper risk checks to stop harm to young people. If found guilty under the Digital Services Act, these companies could face huge fines — up to six percent of their yearly global income.
There’s no deadline for when this probe will end. The investigation could even widen as more evidence comes in.
In a separate move, the EU stripped Stripchat of its “Very Large Online Platform” status — a sign that Europe’s leaders are getting tough on Big Tech’s biggest players.
TRUMP, XI, Putin Power Play: Why the World Holds Its Breath for a “Yalta 20” Summit
— Talk has heated up about a possible meeting between Donald Trump, Xi Jinping, and Vladimir Putin. Some people compare it to the famous Yalta Conference where world leaders once shaped history. But so far, there’s been no sign these three will meet face-to-face.
America faces tough pressure from both China and Russia. Each country pushes its own agenda and tests how strong the U.S. really is on the world stage. Even with rumors of big talks, deep mistrust keeps them apart.
Some experts say a summit could bring calm to today’s tense global climate. Others warn that if America looks weak at the table, our influence could slip away fast.
For now, these leaders keep moving their pieces behind closed doors — never together in one room. The world waits and wonders if American leadership can hold steady as threats grow from every direction.
— No new major world news reported outside UK and US. The current news timeline remains unchanged, with no recent breaking events.
— UK Legal Aid Agency Hit by Ransomware Cyber Attack The agency’s operations are disrupted, with sensitive data compromised, prompting urgent investigations and heightened alert for further malicious activity

NETANYAHU VOWS Swift Justice After Hezbollah Attack Kills Children
— The Israeli response to Hezbollah’s rocket attack in Lebanon is imminent after the group targeted a children’s soccer field, killing 12 young people. Early Monday, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reportedly executed a drone strike in southern Lebanon, resulting in the deaths of two Hezbollah terrorists. The IDF has not commented on the strike.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a three-hour cabinet meeting on Sunday, authorizing him and his defense minister to determine the “manner and timing” of a military response. Danny Danon, Israel’s new ambassador to the United Nations, told “Fox and Friends” that Israel’s response will be “swift, harsh and painful,” but clarified there are no intentions for a full war.
Netanyahu visited Majdal Shams on Monday and announced that Israel’s response to the massacre “will come and it will be severe.” He expressed solidarity with the Druze Israeli community, emphasizing their shared grief. U.S. Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken spoke with Israeli President Isaac Herzog about the situation on Monday as well.
RUBBER DUCK Race Delights Families, Supports Children’S Charity
— Thousands of rubber ducks raced down a central London canal on July 25 to support Cosmic Charity, which aids babies and children in intensive care. Staff on paddle boards helped propel the ducks along a 100-meter stretch to the finish line.
Around 3,000 rubber ducks participated in the event, raising money for Cosmic Charity. “It’s a lovely community event...everybody just loves this event because it’s such a good, fun family event,” said Lynsey Carrington, Acting Chief Executive of Cosmic Charity.
Revelers could sponsor a duck to join the race, with all proceeds going to support the charity’s vital work. This unique and entertaining fundraiser brought together families and community members for a worthy cause.

ROYAL FANS and Adorable Corgis Pay Heartfelt Tribute to Queen Elizabeth II in Unique Parade
— In a touching tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II, a small group of dedicated royal fans and their corgis gathered on Sunday. The event marked the one-year anniversary of the beloved monarch’s passing. The parade took place outside Buckingham Palace, reflecting Queen Elizabeth’s well-documented affection for this particular breed of dogs.
The unique procession included approximately 20 staunch monarchists and their festively attired corgis. Photos captured from the event portray these short-legged canines sporting various accessories such as crowns and tiaras. All dogs were leashed together near the palace gates, creating a picture-perfect homage to their royal fan.
Agatha Crerer-Gilbert, who orchestrated this unique tribute, expressed her aspiration for it to become an annual tradition. Speaking to Associated Press she said: “I can’t envision a more fitting way to honor her memory than through her beloved corgis...the breed that she cherished throughout her life.”
Elizabeth Holmes STARTS 11-Year Prison Sentence at Texas Women’s Prison Camp
— Disgraced Theranos founder, Elizabeth Holmes, started serving her 11-year prison sentence in Bryan, Texas, for her role in the infamous blood-testing hoax. The Federal Bureau of Prisons reports that she entered the minimum-security women’s prison camp on Tuesday, which houses about 650 women deemed the lowest security risk.
Elizabeth Holmes Gets WEIRD New York Times Profile
— Elizabeth Holmes gave a series of interviews to the New York Times, revealing she has been volunteering for a rape crisis hotline and sharing her reflections on the mistakes she made with Theranos. It’s the first time she has spoken to the media since 2016, this time without her trademark baritone voice, and she hinted at future ambitions in health tech despite her criminal conviction.
Elizabeth Holmes DELAYS Jail Sentence After WINNING Appeal
— Elizabeth Holmes, the founder of the fraudulent company Theranos, successfully appealed to delay her 11-year jail term. Her lawyers cited “numerous, inexplicable errors” in the decision, including references to charges for which the jury acquitted her.
In November, Holmes was sentenced to 11 years and three months after a Californian jury found her guilty of three counts of investor fraud and one count of conspiracy. However, the jury acquitted her of the patient fraud charges.
Holmes’s appeal was initially rejected earlier this month, with a judge telling the former Theranos CEO to report to prison on Thursday. However, that decision has now been reversed by the higher court that ruled in her favor.
The prosecutors will now have to respond to the motion by 3 May while Holmes remains free.

BIDEN CANCER Shock: White House Secrecy Leaves Americans Worried
— President Joe Biden, 82, has been diagnosed with an aggressive prostate cancer that has already spread to his bones. Medical records show a high Gleason score of 9, meaning the disease is fast-moving and hard to treat. Doctors say targeted therapies might help control symptoms and give him more time.
Experts are now asking how long the cancer went unnoticed and if it started during Biden’s time in office. Some cancer specialists believe the advanced stage suggests years of silent growth. This raises real concerns about how open the White House has been about Biden’s health.
Leaders from both parties have shared support for Biden and his family. Former President Trump said, “We wish Joe a fast and successful recovery,” while others made similar statements.
This news has sparked talk across America about cancer screening for older men — and whether leaders are being honest about their health. As questions swirl over what was really known inside the White House, all eyes are on Biden’s next moves and what this means for aging politicians in power.
