    Twitter MELTDOWN: Leftist Celebrities RAGE at Elon Musk after Checkmark PURGE

    Elon Musk has whipped up a frenzy on Twitter as countless celebrities rage at him for removing their verified badges. Celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Charlie Sheen, alongside organizations such as the BBC and CNN, have all lost their verified badges. However, public figures can choose to keep their blue ticks if they pay the $8 monthly fee along with everybody else as part of Twitter Blue.

    UK SECURITY SHOCK: Mystery Aircraft, NHS Chaos, and Free Speech Threat Rattle Britain

    Police in London are looking into a strange event after an unknown aircraft flew low over the city. Emergency crews and military jets rushed to the scene. The airspace was closed for a short time, causing flight delays. Officials have not said what the aircraft was or why it was there but are calling it a possible security threat.

    The UK’s National Health Service is facing a massive cyberattack that has shut down hospital systems in several areas. Hackers used ransomware to lock up patient records and demand money. The government refuses to pay, so hospitals have switched to paper records while workers try to fix the problem.

    Prime Minister Keir Starmer promised billions for emergency shelters and new housing in London to fight homelessness. Some critics say this plan does not solve the real reasons people end up on the streets.

    The UK government also wants to ban social media posts marked as “dangerous misinformation” or “hate speech.” Free speech groups warn this could lead to censorship and hurt online rights for everyone.

    NORTH CAROLINA Shooting Horror: Chaos Erupts at House Party, Leaving Families Shattered

    A late-night house party in North Carolina turned tragic when gunfire broke out, killing one person and injuring twelve more. Police rushed to the scene and quickly took the wounded to nearby hospitals.

    So far, officers have not named any suspects or shared what may have led to the shooting. They are searching for clues and asking neighbors to stay alert and report anything suspicious.

    This heartbreaking event has sparked fresh debate about safety at public gatherings across America. Police say they will share more details as their investigation continues.

    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.

    TOMMY ROBINSON Freed: Emotional Victory for Free Speech Warriors

    TOMMY ROBINSON Freed: Emotional Victory for Free Speech Warriors

    Tommy Robinson walked out of HMP Woodhill on Tuesday after the High Court slashed his 18-month sentence. He wasted no time visiting his mother, enjoying a Full English breakfast, and getting a much-needed haircut. His early release came after he agreed to take down some social media posts, including parts of his “Silenced” documentary.

    Outside the prison gates, Robinson blasted the British legal system for cracking down on citizen journalists. He called prison “an occupational hazard” in a country that “doesn’t believe in free speech.” He also thanked Elon Musk for letting him speak freely on X.

    Robinson warned that lawfare is being used to silence those who challenge globalist ideas. He pointed to legal battles against Geert Wilders, Steve Bannon, Donald Trump, and Marine Le Pen as proof.

    But Robinson’s fight isn’t over yet. On June 5th, he faces new charges tied to protests after a deadly stabbing by second-generation migrant Axel Rudakubana.

    NEW ORLEANS Chaos: Fear Grows as Seven Violent Inmates Roam Free

    Ten inmates broke out of Orleans Parish Jail on May 16. They cut a hole behind a toilet and slipped through weak security. Video shows the men removing a cell door and running across an interstate. The escape looks planned, and police think someone inside helped them.

    No deputies were in the pod when it happened. A civilian observer had left to get food. The jail is short-staffed, with only 60% of positions filled. Broken locks and poor upkeep are common problems there. Officials say it will take $5.2 million just to fix the locks.

    Seven escapees are still missing, including men charged with murder and other violent crimes. Police have evacuated homes they believe might be targets for these fugitives.

    The public is angry about how the jail is run. Three staff members are now on leave while investigators look into possible inside help. Local leaders want answers as police search for the remaining inmates.

    PUTIN’S Shocking Praise for Elon Musk Sparks Global Buzz

    PUTIN’S Shocking Praise for Elon Musk Sparks Global Buzz

    Russian President Vladimir Putin surprised many by comparing Elon Musk to Soviet space legend Sergei Korolev. Speaking with university students, Putin said Musk “raves about Mars” and called him a rare figure who makes the impossible happen. He linked Musk’s bold dreams to Korolev’s historic achievements in space.

    Putin admitted that reaching Mars seems far off today but believes ideas like Musk’s can come true over time. He reminded listeners that Korolev, once doubted, led the Soviets to major victories in space exploration after years of struggle under Stalin.

    Sergei Korolev was kept secret during his life but became a hero after his death for launching the first satellite and human into orbit. Putin used this story to show how visionaries can shape history, even if people doubt them at first.

    Kirill Dmitriev, head of Russia’s wealth fund, added that missions to Mars are “getting more real.” Dmitriev recently visited Washington D.C., meeting with Trump officials after U.S. sanctions were lifted for his trip — a sign of possible new talks between Russia and America.;

    HUNGARY’S Bold Exit From ICC: A Powerful Message During Netanyahu’s Visit

    Hungary has officially announced its withdrawal from the International Criminal Court (ICC), aligning with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban criticized the ICC as a political tool, saying Hungary no longer wants to be part of it. This announcement came during a joint press conference in Budapest with Netanyahu, who faces ICC charges for alleged war crimes.

    Orban stressed that Hungary aims to avoid involvement in what he sees as the ICC’s politicization. The timing of this announcement during Netanyahu’s visit highlights Hungary’s stance against international legal frameworks viewed as biased. Netanyahu’s presence is controversial due to an arrest warrant over allegations tied to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

    This decision reflects a trend among some countries distancing themselves from international bodies they view as politically driven. Hungary’s withdrawal might affect its relations with other nations and its role in global law discussions. The move underscores growing skepticism about global institutions perceived as overreaching or unfairly targeting certain leaders and countries.

    ELON MUSK Faces Shocking Backlash: Immigrants Demand He Leave the US

    ELON MUSK Faces Shocking Backlash: Immigrants Demand He Leave the US

    Elon Musk recently faced backlash from some immigrants in the U.S. During a public event, several individuals voiced strong opinions about his presence in the country. One woman suggested that Musk should “go back” to South Africa, seemingly unaware of his legal immigration status and citizenship since 2002.

    An older gentleman echoed similar sentiments, falsely claiming Musk was not a citizen and urging him to return to South Africa. His remarks were based on misinformation about Musk’s legal journey to becoming an American citizen. According to Walter Isaacson’s biography, Musk moved legally as a student in 1992 before gaining citizenship a decade later.

    Another woman, identifying herself as an immigrant, labeled Musk as a “racist and a Nazi,” urging him to leave the U.S. Her comments highlighted tensions within immigrant communities regarding high-profile figures like Musk who have achieved significant success in America.

    These statements reflect broader debates on immigration and identity in the United States today. The incident underscores ongoing discussions about what it means to be American and how successful immigrants are perceived by others within their communities.

    SHERYL CROW’S Bold Tesla Move: Why She Ditched Elon Musk

    SHERYL CROW’S Bold Tesla Move: Why She Ditched Elon Musk

    Sheryl Crow recently posted a video on Instagram, showing her Tesla being towed away. She decided to part with the car due to Elon Musk’s actions. Crow said, "There comes a time when you have to decide who you are willing to align with.

    The singer criticized Musk for his stance against NPR and announced she would donate to the organization. She accused Musk of threatening NPR, which he claims is biased against conservatives. Crow hopes her donation will help “the truth” reach those seeking it.

    Musk has pushed for cutting NPR’s federal funding because of its perceived bias and censorship of conservative voices. During the 2020 election, NPR dismissed the Hunter Biden laptop story as not credible news, sparking criticism from many who saw it as shielding certain political figures from scrutiny.

    TRUMP-Led Diplomacy ACHIEVES Release of Americans from Venezuela

    TRUMP-Led Diplomacy ACHIEVES Release of Americans from Venezuela

    The Maduro regime has freed six Americans after negotiations led by Richard Grenell, President Trump’s Presidential Envoy for Special Missions. Among those released are David Estrella, Aaron Barret Logan, Gregory David Werber, and David Guttember Guillaume. These men were accused of plotting against socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro without any evidence presented.

    Grenell traveled to Caracas and met with Maduro to secure their release. Unlike previous efforts under President Biden, these talks did not involve a prisoner swap deal. The agreement also included Venezuela accepting U.S. deportation flights of illegal migrants, including members of the Tren De Aragua criminal group.

    Previously, the Biden administration engaged in a prisoner swap in October 2022 for seven Americans detained by Venezuela. Those released included members of the “CITGO 6” and two others who later sued Maduro for alleged torture during their detention. This recent development marks a significant diplomatic achievement under Trump’s envoy without concessions from the U.S side.

    TRAGIC Ski Accident SHOCKS Community: 12-Year-Old’s Heartbreaking Loss

    TRAGIC Ski Accident SHOCKS Community: 12-Year-Old’s Heartbreaking Loss

    A skiing accident on New Year’s Eve at Cranmore Mountain in Conway, New Hampshire, led to the death of 12-year-old Jack Murray. The young boy was on an intermediate trail when he hit a tree. Despite wearing a helmet, he was found unconscious and later pronounced dead at MaineHealth Memorial Hospital.

    Jack Murray, born on May 23, 2012, was loved by his family and friends. His obituary describes him as “magical” and destined for greatness. Known for his infectious positivity and kindness, Jack made a lasting impact on everyone who knew him.

    The community remembers Jack as a loving brother and talented drummer in his school band. To honor his memory, a GoFundMe has been set up to support music programs instead of traditional floral tributes. His family encourages donations to celebrate his life and passion for music.

    ELON MUSK Slams UK Over Child Rape Gangs

    ELON MUSK Slams UK Over Child Rape Gangs

    Elon Musk has sparked controversy by criticizing the UK government’s handling of child rape gangs. Labour politician Wes Streeting responded, accusing Musk of being “misjudged and certainly misinformed” about the issue. Until now, the government had largely ignored Musk’s remarks, hoping he would shift focus.

    The topic gained traction on social media, with discussions highlighting decades-long abuse by grooming gangs in numerous UK towns and cities. Streeting admitted that “political correctness” hindered efforts to tackle these crimes — a view once dismissed as conspiracy theory by mainstream politics. He also urged Musk to help combat online pedophiles but avoided addressing grooming gangs directly.

    Public outrage has intensified over recent revelations about these gangs’ heinous acts against children. Viral posts have detailed horrific abuses documented in legal proceedings, shocking many who were unaware of the extent of these crimes until now.

    The debate continues as society grapples with how best to address both online and offline threats to vulnerable children.

    TRAGIC WISCONSIN School Shooting: Heartbreaking Loss and Heroic Response

    A 15-year-old student opened fire at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wisconsin. The attack left a teacher and a teenager dead. It happened during study hall, prompting a quick police response after a second grader called 911. Six others were injured, with two students critically hurt.

    The shooter, Natalie Rupnow, was found with a self-inflicted gunshot wound and died on the way to the hospital. Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes stressed the lasting impact on everyone involved. “Every child, every person in that building is a victim,” he said.

    Abundant Life Christian School has about 420 students from prekindergarten through high school. The school’s director mentioned that safety drills are usually announced but not this time. “When they heard “Lockdown, lockdown,” they knew it was real,” she explained.

    TRUMP’S BOLD Move: Elon Musk and Ukraine’s Zelenskyy Connect

    President-elect Donald Trump facilitated a conversation between Elon Musk and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a congratulatory call. A Ukrainian official revealed that Trump handed his phone to Musk, allowing Zelenskyy to thank the SpaceX CEO for providing Starlink satellite internet access. This highlights Musk’s influence within Trump’s circle, sparking speculation about a potential formal role in the administration.

    Trump’s interactions with Zelenskyy are under scrutiny as he prepares to assume office on January 20th. He has suggested a shift in U.S. policy towards Ukraine, proposing Kyiv might cede territory for peace with Russia — an idea Zelenskyy rejects. This stance contrasts with Trump’s previous administration’s decision to arm Ukraine against Russian aggression in 2017, which helped counter the full-scale invasion in 2022.

    The Biden administration has provided extensive military and economic aid to Ukraine, drawing criticism from Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance. They argue that U.S. resources should prioritize domestic needs over foreign conflicts, reflecting their cautious approach towards international involvement.

    HEARTBREAKING LOSS on Mount Whitney

    HEARTBREAKING LOSS on Mount Whitney

    The bodies of Andrew Niziol and Patty Bolan, who vanished while hiking California’s tallest peak, have been identified. The pair set out on a journey across California and were reported overdue during their descent from Mount Whitney.

    Search efforts escalated when they didn’t return to their campsite at Upper Boy Scout Lake. Rescue teams utilized helicopters and ground units in an extensive search operation.

    Five days later, rescuers discovered the bodies on the mountain’s north face at 13,200 feet. It seems they fell while trying to ski or snowboard back to their campsite.

    This tragic event highlights the dangers of high-altitude hiking and emphasizes the necessity for thorough preparation in such demanding conditions.

    PUTIN’S Dark Turn: From Authoritarian to Totalitarian — The Shocking Evolution of Russia

    In the wake of opposition leader Boris Nemtsov’s assassination in February 2015, shock and anger rippled through over 50,000 Muscovites. Yet, when well-known opposition figure Alexei Navalny died behind bars in February 2024, those mourning his loss faced riot police and arrests. This change signals a chilling transformation in Vladimir Putin’s Russia — from merely tolerating dissent to brutally crushing it.

    Since Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine, arrests, trials and long prison sentences have become the norm. The Kremlin now targets not just political rivals but also human rights organizations, independent media outlets, civil society groups and LGBTQ+ activists. Oleg Orlov, co-chair of Memorial — a Russian human rights organization — has branded Russia as a “totalitarian state”.

    Orlov himself was arrested and sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison for criticizing the military’s actions in Ukraine just one month after his damning statement. According to Memorial’s estimates, there are nearly 680 political prisoners currently held captive in Russia.

    Another organization called OVD-Info reported that as of November there were over a thousand

    ITALY’S Bold Exit from China’s Belt and Road Initiative: A Triumph for Western Independence

    Italy recently declared its departure from China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), signifying a major shift in Western attitudes towards Beijing’s economic clout. After four years of involvement, Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani noted that nations not participating in the initiative have seen superior results.

    The official withdrawal notice was issued by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s administration this week, well before the initial agreement expires next year. This decision sets the stage for an upcoming summit hosted by China with European Union leaders who have lately adopted a more wary stance towards Beijing.

    In response to mounting skepticism, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi advocated for mutually beneficial relationships between Europe and China to boost global development. However, such views are increasingly met with suspicion in Europe as Western societies strive to steer clear of economic connections that might give Beijing an upper hand during political upheavals.

    Stefano Stefanini, former Italian Ambassador, underscored an official G7 policy termed “de-risking”, spotlighting U.S.'s opposition against Italy’s participation in BRI. Despite U.S warnings labeling it as a “predatory” lending scheme aimed at controlling strategic infrastructure, Italy joined the initiative back in 2019.

    U.S. Expands Temporary Legal Status To Almost 500,000 Venezuelan ...

    BIDEN Administration’s SHOCKING U-Turn: Venezuelan Deportations to Resume Amid Rising Migrant Numbers

    The Biden administration has recently declared its intention to recommence the deportation of Venezuelan migrants. These individuals represent the largest single group encountered at the U.S.-Mexico border last month. The decision comes as their numbers continue to swell.

    Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has referred to this new measure as one of the “strict consequences” being enforced in conjunction with expanding legal avenues for asylum seekers.

    Speaking in Mexico City, Mayorkas mentioned that both nations are grappling with an unparalleled level of migration throughout their hemisphere. Two U.S. officials, who wished to remain anonymous, have confirmed that repatriation flights are slated to commence soon.

    This action follows a recent surge in protected status for thousands of Venezuelans who arrived in the U.S before July 31 this year. However, addressing this discrepancy between expanding protections and resuming deportations, Mayorkas clarified that it is considered safe to return Venezuelan nationals who arrived after July 31 and lack a legal basis for staying here.

    CONVICTED KILLER on the Loose: Danelo Cavalcante’s Daring Escape from Pennsylvania Prison

    CONVICTED KILLER on the Loose: Danelo Cavalcante’s Daring Escape from Pennsylvania Prison

    Convicted murderer, Danelo Cavalcante, is now a fugitive. After a daring escape from Chester County Prison in Pennsylvania, he has successfully evaded capture. The U.S Marshals Service has confirmed that Cavalcante, sentenced to life for the 2021 murder of his ex-girlfriend, is also implicated in a homicide case in Brazil.

    Acting Warden Howard Holland unveiled surveillance footage of Cavalcante’s escape during a press briefing. The video captures the moment when Cavalcante scales a wall and braves through razor wire to make his audacious exit.

    Cavalcante’s breakout commenced at 8:33 a.m., as he mingled with other inmates in the exercise yard. By 9:45 a.m., prison officers reported him missing—an unsettling indication of severe lapses in prison security measures.

    Twitter user x loses handle

    Twitter User @x LOSES Handle After Twitter Rename; Offered Tour and Merchandise as Compensation

    Gene X Hwang, known as @x on Twitter since 2007, knew his username’s days were numbered after Elon Musk’s recent renaming of the platform to “X.” Upon landing from a pinball tournament in Canada, Hwang found messages notifying him that the company had taken over his handle.

    Twitter explained that Hwang’s account data would be preserved and that he would receive a new username. The company offered Hwang merchandise, a tour of its offices, and a meeting with management as compensation.

    The change in his account is one of the latest disruptions since Musk’s takeover and the replacement of Twitter’s blue bird logo with the letter “X.”

    Ron DeSantis’s 2024 presidential campaign announcement on Twitter Spaces was rife with technical issues, leading to widespread criticism. The event with Elon Musk was filled with audio dropouts and server crashes, triggering ridicule from both sides of the political aisle, with Don Trump Jr. calling the event a “#DeSaster.”

    President Joe Biden seized the opportunity to mock the unsuccessful launch by posting a link to his campaign donation page, saying, “This link works.” Despite the backlash, Elon Musk said the issues were caused by the sheer number of listeners who tuned in, causing the servers to overload.

    ELON MUSK Death Threat Rocks Trump Cabinet: Fear and Anger Erupt Over Free Speech Attack

    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.
