TRUMP’S Bold Farmer AID Plan Ignites Hope And Fear In Trade WAR Storm

US-INDIA TRADE Shock: Trump TAX Bill Turmoil and LIV Golf Losses Rattle Markets

Secretary of State Marco Rubio voiced his doubts about any real progress without Trump or Putin in the room. He said, “It’s clear that only a direct meeting between President Trump and President Putin will move things forward.”
With neither Putin nor top Kremlin aides present, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and others waited in separate Turkish cities. Frustration grew as it became obvious that key leaders were missing from the table.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President J.D. Vance helped push the agreement forward. Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif thanked Trump for stepping in, but India claimed it settled things directly with Pakistan, downplaying America’s role.
Even though guns are silent for now, tough steps like visa bans and smaller embassies will stay in place. Saudi Arabia and Turkey also helped bring both sides to the table.
This deal gives hope to a region worried about nuclear war but leaves many problems unsolved — especially over Kashmir. The world is watching to see if this shaky peace will last.

Saudi Arabia also plans to invest up to $600 billion in America over four years. President Trump wants that number to reach $1 trillion. This trip was his first official visit of his second term, showing strong ties between Washington and Riyadh.
This deal proves America’s promise to keep the Middle East stable while creating jobs and bringing money back home.
TRUMP’S $142 Billion Arms Deal Ignites Fury And Hope Worldwide

Supporters say closer ties with Saudi Arabia will create American jobs and help push back against Iran’s growing influence. Trump’s team calls it a big win for U.S. industry and national security. “America comes first,” one advisor said.
Other world leaders are worried about stability in the region and human rights concerns linked to the deal. The size of this agreement has put America’s foreign policy choices under a microscope again.
As debate continues, markets are watching for what happens next after this bold move. The future of U.S.-Middle East relations may depend on how things unfold from here.

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.

TRUMP’S $142 Billion Saudi Deal Ignites Hope And Power For US Workers

The agreement, signed in Riyadh with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, gives the Saudis advanced U.S. military technology and strengthens our alliance during tense times in the region.
Saudi Arabia isn’t just buying weapons — they’re investing big in America too. DataVolt is putting $20 billion into new AI data centers and energy projects here at home. The Crown Prince even promised up to $1 trillion more for future investments, which could mean two million new jobs for Americans.
Trump highlighted how this partnership helps both our economy and national security during his Middle East trip. The White House called it a boost for U.S. jobs and safety as Iran’s nuclear threats and fighting in Gaza keep the region on edge.
The signing ceremony was full of pageantry, showing off a fresh start between Washington and Riyadh. Many conservatives see this as a big win for American workers and our country’s influence around the world.

TRUMP’S Bold Peace Deal Halts Nuclear Nightmare Between India-Pakistan
— India and Pakistan, both armed with nuclear weapons, have agreed to a sudden ceasefire after weeks of deadly fighting. Former President Donald Trump stepped in and brokered the deal, announcing it on social media. He praised both countries for showing “Common Sense and Great Intelligence.” The truce comes after a violent attack in Kashmir led to airstrikes, drone hits, and heavy shelling along the border.
Pakistani officials thanked Saudi Arabia and Turkey for helping with talks. Indian leaders confirmed that military commanders from both sides agreed to stop all attacks by land, air, and sea starting May 10. More meetings between top generals are planned to make sure the ceasefire holds.
The United Nations called the agreement a “positive step,” but violence didn’t stop everywhere. Explosions were reported in Kashmir just hours after the announcement. Both India and Pakistan blamed each other for breaking the new peace.
Even with this deal in place, tensions are still high over issues like control of Kashmir and water rights. Experts warn that more fighting could break out since neither side has backed down on key demands from during the conflict.

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.
DISNEY PROFITS Surge: Americans Flock to Parks Despite Hard Times
— Disney posted a strong quarter, beating Wall Street’s expectations with $23.62 billion in revenue — a 7% jump from last year. Earnings per share rose 20% to $1.45, well above the predicted $1.20.
The company credits its U.S. theme parks for most of this growth. Even as families face higher prices and tough economic times, they keep visiting and spending at Disney parks. The streaming services also helped, with profits expected to hit $875 million in fiscal 2025.
Internationally, park attendance is steady but visitors are spending less — especially in China. Disney just announced its first Middle East resort in Abu Dhabi through a deal with Miral, showing CEO Bob Iger’s push for global growth and new ideas.
These results show Disney can still succeed when many American families are struggling — mainly because people keep coming back for the experiences at home and online that only Disney offers.;
TRUMP DOJ Unleashes Death Penalty Fury After CEO Assassination
— The Trump Department of Justice, led by Attorney General Pam Bondi, is demanding the death penalty for Luigi Mangione. Mangione stands accused of killing Brian Thompson, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, in a shocking public shooting outside a New York City hotel last December. Bondi called it a “premeditated, cold-blooded assassination” and said this move supports President Trump’s promise to “Make America Safe Again.”
Mangione faces federal charges for murder with a firearm and terrorism-related crimes. These charges make him eligible for capital punishment under federal law — a penalty New York state does not allow. This case is one of the first big federal death penalty trials since President Trump ended the previous administration’s pause on executions.
Police arrested Mangione in Pennsylvania after people recognized him from released photos. His lawyer confirmed talks with prosecutors about the possible death sentence but gave no further details. Despite facing severe accusations, Mangione’s supporters have raised $775,000 to help pay for his legal defense.
Prosecutors say Mangione put bystanders at risk and tried to scare or pressure civilians and government leaders — key reasons behind the terrorism charges. This high-profile case shows that under President Trump, the federal government is taking bold action against violent crime across America.;
CALIFORNIA JUDGE Halts Trump’s Bold Plan to Slash Federal Workforce
— A California judge has stopped President Trump’s push to cut the federal workforce. Judge Susan Illston, who was appointed by Bill Clinton, issued an emergency order after unions and city leaders fought back against Trump’s executive order to shrink government.
The judge’s ruling blocks agencies from following the president’s plan for 14 days. However, it does not force agencies to rehire anyone already laid off. Departments like Health and Human Services, which wanted to cut 10,000 jobs, are now on hold.
Judge Illston said President Trump will likely need Congress if he wants big changes like this. This legal battle shows how liberal states and labor groups keep fighting conservative efforts to lower government spending.
For now, Trump supporters will have to wait as the courts decide if his plan can move forward. The fight over government size is far from over.
TRUMP’S Trade Deal Delivers Hope And Power To American Farmers
— President Trump’s new TRADE deal with the United Kingdom is being called a huge win for American farmers and ranchers. White House adviser Rollins said, “The deal puts American agriculture first,” pointing to bigger beef exports as a top benefit.
Farmers will likely see higher profits and gain new access to British markets. This agreement is another step in Trump’s “America First” trade plan, which helps U.S. producers compete overseas.
The administration keeps working on deals that put American businesses and workers ahead of foreign interests.
With little other business news on May 8, 2025, this announcement stands out as an economic bright spot for rural America.
FORD’S $15 Billion Shock: Trump Tariffs Spark Industry Chaos
— Ford Motor Company says it could lose $15 billion, blaming President Trump’s tariffs for the hit. The company has pulled its yearly financial forecast, warning that the entire auto industry might face over $100 billion in losses. Ford once hoped to earn up to $8.5 billion in 2025, but those plans are now on hold.
To fight back, Ford is rerouting cars between Mexico and Canada to dodge some of the new taxes. Even with these moves, leaders at Ford say trade fights are shaking up markets and scaring off investors.
This big loss comes from Trump’s “America First” trade plan. While it aims to protect American jobs, some companies say it’s causing trouble not just for car makers but other businesses too.
Videos online show Ford struggling as tariffs bite hard into profits. Many worry this is only the start of bigger problems for U.S. manufacturing if trade battles continue.
BBC ART Scandal Shocks: Expert Sold to Hezbollah Financier
— A former BBC “Bargain Hunt” art expert has pleaded guilty to selling artwork to a man accused of funding Hezbollah. Oghenochuko Ojiri admitted in a London court that he sold about $185,000 worth of art to Nazem Ahmad between 2020 and 2021.
Nazem Ahmad is banned from doing business in both the U.K. and U.S. because of his alleged ties to terrorism and money laundering for Hezbollah. Prosecutors said Ojiri knew about Ahmad’s background, even talking about his terror links with others before making the sales.
The U.S. Treasury sanctioned Ahmad back in 2019, saying he smuggled blood diamonds and helped finance violence through shady business deals. Even with these warnings, Ojiri still went through with the sales, breaking anti-terrorism laws meant to block money from reaching groups like Hezbollah.
TRUMP STANDS Firm: Iran’S Chilling Threats Spark Urgent Nuclear Showdown
— President Trump’s team is back at the table with Iran, trying to stop their illegal nuclear plans. But Iran won’t talk directly. Instead, they send messages through Oman, showing they don’t want open talks.
The head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, a group the U.S. calls terrorists, threatened both America and Israel. He warned that if we make “the slightest mistake,” Iran will “open the gates of hell.” While he claims to prefer diplomacy, he says his country is ready for war.
Iranian state media tried to calm things down by saying they’d only hit back if attacked first. Still, their leader made it clear — anyone who strikes Iran will pay a heavy price.
This general has become more visible since President Trump ordered the strike on Soleimani in 2020. The new Quds Force leader stays out of sight, leaving many wondering about his real role in the regime.
INDIA’S Desperate Gamble: US Trade Deal Could Save Billions from Painful Tarif F Hike
— India is racing to strike a trade deal with the United States before a 90-day tariff break runs out. If they fail, steep new tariffs could hit Indian exports hard. The plan would cut India’s average tariffs from 17 percent down to nearly America’s much lower 3.3 percent rate.
The proposed agreement gives the U.S. big wins: India would drop duties on some American goods and open its market wider for almost 90 percent of U.S. imports, like cars, planes, and medical devices. In exchange, India wants easier access for its own products — such as jewelry and textiles — and hopes to get more advanced technology from America.
President Trump’s team has blasted India’s $45.7 billion trade surplus with the U.S., calling it unfair competition. They’ve warned that if no deal is reached soon, heavy new tariffs will slam Indian exports.
Experts say India still shields its home industries but needs this deal fast to boost sales abroad and attract investment for growth. Both sides are under pressure as the deadline gets closer by the day.
TRUMP’S Trade Deal Delivers Huge WIN for American Farmers
— President Trump’s new trade deal with the UK is being called a big win for American farmers and ranchers. White House adviser Rollins said the agreement puts American agriculture first, especially beef exports. She called U.S. beef “the safest, best quality, and the crown jewel of American agriculture.”
Rollins added that this deal covers more than just beef and ethanol. She said America’s trade team is working hard to open doors for all farm exports. According to Rollins, no other industry has faced as much unfair treatment as U.S. agriculture.
After his “Liberation Day” speech, Trump shared details about the agreement on Truth Social. He said America will gain $6 billion from tariffs and $5 billion in new export chances for farmers and ranchers.
The deal also boosts national security by creating a trading zone for aluminum and steel with the UK and protecting medicine supply chains. Trump pointed out that past presidents failed to get such fair deals done for Americans.
TRUMP’S Bold Justice: Death Penalty Push Shakes Nation
— Federal prosecutors will seek the DEATH PENALTY for Luigi Mangione, accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson outside a New York City hotel. This is the first federal death penalty case since President Trump’s return to office. It shows a strong, no-nonsense approach to crime that many conservatives have demanded for years.
A deadly crash near Yellowstone National Park left seven dead and eight hurt after a tour van hit a pickup truck. Victims included tourists from Italy and China. Both vehicles caught fire, making rescue efforts difficult. Police are still looking into what caused this tragedy on a dangerous stretch of road.
Three former Memphis police officers were found not guilty in the Tyre Nichols murder case, sparking new debate over police reform and accountability. Other crime stories include a California realtor shot by a repeat offender, an Ohio man denied bond after allegedly killing a deputy, and dozens arrested during pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University.
President Trump’s team also named Jeanine Pirro as top federal prosecutor in Washington, D.C., raising talk about future law enforcement plans. Meanwhile, cities like Minneapolis still struggle with violent crime after “defund the police” policies took hold. Investigations continue into drug trafficking and campus violence at U.C. Berkeley as well.
FORD’S Shocking Loss: Tariffs Deliver $15 Billion Blow to Auto Giant
— Ford Motor Company just took a huge hit—$15 billion lost, all thanks to tariffs. The company has now suspended its financial outlook for the year. Ford says these trade fights, many started under President Trump, are costing not just them but could slam the whole U.S. auto industry with over $100 billion in extra costs if things don’t change soon.
The Federal Reserve decided not to raise interest rates this time. They say it’s because of all the uncertainty from tariffs and global trade battles. This move caught Wall Street off guard and left some investors worried about what comes next.
There is one bright spot: The U.S. government has lifted tariffs on UK steel and aluminum and cut car tariffs down to 10%. This new deal was worked out between President Trump’s team and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
These events show how much trade policy matters for American jobs and businesses. Car makers are feeling squeezed while leaders try to steer through a risky economic moment.
GOLDMAN SACHS Sounds Alarm: S&P 500 Faces Shock From Trump-ERA Trade Fight
— Goldman Sachs is warning that the recent jump in the S&P 500 may not last. The bank says new trade tensions under President Trump and signs of a weaker economy are big risks for investors.
Trump’s “Liberation Day” announcement has stirred up talk about more U.S.-China tariffs. Goldman Sachs questions if the market can keep rising if these trade fights heat up again.
TD Cowen now says there’s a 70% chance that Chinese stocks could be kicked off U.S. exchanges, thanks to ongoing pressure from Trump’s team. This adds even more worry for investors as trade rules keep changing fast.
These warnings show how quickly things can shift on Wall Street when leaders make bold moves and economic data sends mixed signals. Investors are watching closely to see if tariffs will cause real trouble — or if relief is on the way soon.
TRUMP’S Third Term Bombshell: Social Security Upheaval and Supreme Court Fury Rock America
— Frank Bisignano, a longtime Wall Street leader, was confirmed by the Senate to run the Social Security Administration in a close 53-47 vote. Conservatives see hope for long-overdue changes, while liberals are already protesting. The vote shows just how divided Washington is about Social Security’s future.
Overseas, trouble is brewing between India and Pakistan. Pakistan tested a ballistic missile and deadly violence broke out in Kashmir. India answered with military drills and threats to cut off water supplies. World leaders warn that nuclear conflict could be closer than we think.
President Trump’s new tariffs have restarted the fight over his “America First” trade plan. Ford Motor Company pulled its earnings forecast because of tariff worries, sparking debate about whether these moves will save American jobs or make life more expensive for families.
Trump also hinted he might seek a third term as president, saying “there are methods” but it’s “far too early.” The Supreme Court allowed Trump’s transgender military ban to stay in place, while his team announced $1,000 incentives for illegal immigrants who agree to leave on their own — both decisions causing heated arguments across the country as crime and unrest continue at public events and college campuses.
FED’S Bold Move Stuns Wall Street: Trump’S Trade Fight Ignites Fear And Hope
— Wall Street took a wild ride after the FEDERAL RESERVE made its latest move and President Trump doubled down on tariffs. Investors were left uneasy. Goldman Sachs warned the S&P 500 could drop even more if trade fights get worse. UBS also lowered its forecast, showing growing worry about where things are headed.
The S&P 500’s longest winning streak in twenty years came to an end as traders feared new tariffs could hurt economic growth and profits. Some industries, like media and film, are especially nervous about possible tariffs on foreign movies, which has sparked debate over American jobs and creative freedom.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent tried to calm everyone down by saying Trump’s policies — tariffs, tax cuts, and cutting red tape — are meant to help America in the long run, even if things feel shaky now. The White House says these steps will make U.S. businesses stronger against unfair competition from other countries.
As markets react to these changes, people are split on whether tough trade rules will help or hurt in the end. Many conservatives believe Trump is finally standing up for American workers who have been ignored for too long by global deals that put them last.;
FED SHOCKS Wall Street: Trump’S Trade Fight Sparks Market Jitters
— The Federal Reserve decided to keep interest rates the same on May 8, 2025. Officials said they are worried about the uncertainty caused by President Trump’s tough trade policies and tariffs. They want to see how inflation and the economy respond before making any changes.
Goldman Sachs warned that U.S. stocks could fall if tariffs stay in place or get worse. The recent rise in the S&P 500 might not last unless there is a clear move away from tariffs without hurting the economy.
In April, a short-term break from new tariffs gave markets a small boost, but investors are still uneasy about what comes next. The Fed says it will keep watching economic data closely as it deals with these challenges.
Right now, many on Wall Street want clearer answers from the White House about future trade moves. Until then, the Fed is focused on keeping prices steady and protecting American jobs as Trump sticks to his America First plan.
FORD’S $15 Billion Trade WAR Shock: How Trump’s Tough Tariffs Rattled the Auto Giant
— Ford Motor Company just hit the brakes on its earnings forecast. The company says tariffs from President Trump’s trade war could cost Ford a whopping $15 billion. Profits have already dropped 64% in the first quarter, and Ford blames these tariffs for most of the pain. Other carmakers may face over $100 billion in extra costs too.
To dodge some of these fees, Ford started sending cars from Mexico to Canada using special bond carriers. This helps avoid certain tariffs but doesn’t solve everything. By suspending its guidance, Ford is telling investors things are shaky and uncertain.
The Federal Reserve chose not to raise interest rates this time. Leaders pointed to risks from trade fights and older tariff rules as reasons for their caution. Big banks like Goldman Sachs also warned about possible trouble ahead for Wall Street.
There is some good news for global trade, though. A fresh deal between the U.S. and UK will remove steel and aluminum tariffs while cutting car taxes down to 10%. This agreement — first set up under President Trump — could help cool off some tensions even as other problems remain unsolved.
BRITAIN SLAMS Door on Radical EFF Leader: Outrage as Malema Banned from UK
— Julius Malema, head of South Africa’s far-left Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), was blocked from entering Britain just hours before his flight. He planned to speak at Cambridge University but says the UK gave him “no real reason” for denying his visa. Malema called the move “unacceptable and spineless,” claiming it was meant to silence him.
The EFF blasted Britain’s decision, accusing officials of using red tape to shut down criticism of Western policies. The party blames their leader’s tough talk against British colonial history and anti-Israel comments for the ban.
Malema also wanted to visit Queen Elizabeth’s grave, saying it would help bring “justice and peace” for Africans hurt by colonialism. The EFF claims old grudges from the Royal Family over past criticism may have influenced the decision.
Britain has a history of keeping out controversial figures who threaten public order or stir up division. This latest move sends a clear message that radical voices pushing hate will not get a free pass on British soil.
LEGAL SHOCKWAVES: Trump’S Bold Death Penalty Move Ignites Outrage
— Three former Memphis police officers were found not guilty of all state charges in the Tyre Nichols case, including second-degree murder. The verdict set off protests and fresh calls for police reform across the country. Civil rights leaders are demanding big changes, keeping law enforcement in the spotlight.
Federal prosecutors, led by Attorney General Pam Bondi, said they will seek the death penalty against Luigi Mangione for killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. This is the first federal death penalty case since President Trump returned to office. It shows a strong new push from Washington to crack down on violent crime.
Other big stories include dozens of pro-Palestinian protesters arrested at Columbia University and a judge stopping migrant deportations to Libya. A deadly road rage shooting in Arizona, a fatal school stabbing in California, and an FBI raid on an online crime ring also made headlines.
Major legal fights are still going on over abortion pills, immigration rules, and election laws. High-profile violent crimes keep grabbing national attention as public safety stays at the top of many Americans’ minds.
NORTHERN BORDER Shock: Agents Stop Illegal From Hostile Nation
— U.S. border agents on the northern line have caught an illegal alien from a hostile country, sparking new fears about national security. Officials are keeping the person’s name and home country secret for now. This comes as illegal crossings hit record highs across the nation.
Agents say they are under growing pressure as more people try to cross both borders. While few details have been shared, this arrest shows how enemies of America may be testing weak spots in our border security.
Across the country, there is a bigger push to crack down on illegal immigration and crime tied to it. Courts are backing Trump-era rules, and federal officers just arrested criminal aliens in North Carolina.
Meanwhile, police face tough battles in cities where budgets were cut or funding was slashed. These challenges make it even harder to protect Americans from foreign threats and rising crime at home.
CRIME WAVE Surge: FBI and Nypd Race to Stop Border Chaos
— Federal agents are cracking down on violent gangs as crime surges across the country. The FBI now has over 250 open cases tied to the “764” criminal network. Police are also hunting suspects in attacks on officers and solving high-profile murders, like a pastor found dead in Arizona. Violent crime is a growing threat for many American families.
The NYPD is under fire after sharing a Palestinian woman’s sealed arrest record with ICE. This move has sparked debate about how local police should work with federal immigration officials. At the same time, ICE is stepping up efforts against migrant networks while critics slam the Biden administration over weak border security.
Conservatives scored a win as the Supreme Court upheld President Trump’s ban on transgender people in the military. The Trump team is also fighting lawsuits that would limit access to abortion drugs, while Minnesota’s attorney general pushes back against bans on transgender athletes.
Communities are shaken by deadly crashes near Yellowstone and shootings of law enforcement officers. As cities face more gang violence, drug crimes, and illegal immigration, Americans want stronger action to keep their neighborhoods safe.
US-UKRAINE POLICY Shocker: Ambassador Quits as Trump Team Demands Results
— Bridget Brink, the US Ambassador to Ukraine since 2022, has stepped down. The State Department confirmed her exit as the Trump administration signals a new direction in dealing with Ukraine.
The White House is now pushing for stronger talks with Russia. Military and economic aid will be used as bargaining chips instead of blank checks. Officials say they want real progress, not endless promises.
A recent minerals deal between the US and Ukraine shows this new approach in action. Trump’s tough stance on trade and law-and-order is shaping every decision on foreign policy.
With Brink gone, America’s role in Ukraine is changing fast. The Trump team wants peace through strength — using smart deals instead of getting stuck in another forever war.
AOC’S BOLD Challenge to ICE Chief Ignites Outrage and Legal Fears
— Former ICE Director Tom Homan is calling on the Department of Justice to investigate Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez after she dared him to “come for me” during a heated Queens town hall. The congresswoman’s bold words came after Homan claimed her “Know Your Rights” webinar could be blocking ICE from deporting illegal immigrants under Trump-era rules.
Ocasio-Cortez fired back at the event, telling the crowd, “Do I look like I care?” She insisted her advice was legal and urged illegal immigrants to ask for warrants and record ICE agents during searches. She even challenged authorities to arrest her if they thought she broke any laws.
Homan went on Fox News, saying he is working with DOJ officials to see if AOC crossed any legal lines with her guidance. He warned, “Maybe AOC is going to be in trouble now.”
This clash shows the deep divide between progressive lawmakers and federal immigration enforcement as border security debates heat up across America.
UPS LAYOFFS Spark Fear: American Jobs At Risk From Trade Shock
— UPS just announced it will lay off 20,000 workers and shut down 73 buildings. The company blames falling package numbers and new tariffs for the cuts. UPS hopes to save $35 billion as Amazon sends fewer shipments after recent trade changes.
Amazon is also under stress. Many sellers are piling up extra inventory to avoid shipping delays, but this is only a short-term fix. Even Amazon’s cloud service isn’t doing as well as some of its competitors.
Other big names like McDonald’s and General Motors have warned that sales could drop because of tariff worries. Chinese shopping app Temu is now trying to work with more American sellers to get around these rules.
In retail news, Kohl’s fired CEO Ashley Buchanan over business deals tied to his girlfriend. These changes show how trade policies can shake up everything from shipping companies to major retailers across America.
TRUMP UNLEASHES Brutal Jokes On Pritzker’S Weight — Crowd Roars
— President Trump didn’t hold back when he joked about Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker’s size on national TV. Trump poked fun at Pritzker’s eating habits, saying the Democrat orders “five” hamburgers at once. The crowd erupted with laughter as Trump mimicked the billionaire governor.
Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel jumped in, having Pritzker read out mocking nicknames like “JBLT,” “JB the Hut,” and “JBackribs.” Pritzker tried to play along, nervously adding names like “J Burger” and “J Beefy.”
Kimmel quipped that if Americans could vote, “JBackribs” would win by a landslide. This moment shows how Democrats such as Pritzker face more than policy fights — they have to deal with Trump’s tough humor.
As Joel Pollak noted, if Pritzker runs for president, he’ll need thick skin. Facing off against Trump means battling more than just campaign slogans — it means surviving his relentless jokes and sharp style.
TRUMP ICE Arrests Spark Hope: Crime Plunges, Says Ex-FBI Agent
— Former FBI agent Jonathan Gilliam says President Trump’s tough immigration crackdown is driving down crime. In Trump’s first 100 days back in office, ICE arrested over 32,800 illegal immigrants and more than 1,100 suspected gang members. Of those arrested, over 14,000 already had criminal records and nearly 10,000 now face new charges.
Gilliam told Fox News Digital that these arrests are making neighborhoods safer. “The crime rate will go down as these busts occur. Not a free pass anymore,” he said.
ICE also caught thirty-nine known or suspected terrorists during this time — almost three times more than early 2024. Gilliam praised border czar Tom Homan and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem for leading the charge to protect American families from criminals and gangs.
These results show the Trump administration’s strong focus on law enforcement and border security. The numbers could boost support among voters who care about safety and strict immigration laws.
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.
US MARKETS SHAKEN: GDP Slump and Trump’S Tough Trade Moves Rattle Investors
— Wall Street had a rocky day. The Dow Jones rose by 141 points, but the S&P 500 and Nasdaq barely moved. New data showed the US economy shrank for the first time in three years, and job growth was weaker than hoped. Many investors are watching President Trump’s trade tariffs as inflation reports come out and tech stocks struggle.
Visa stood strong with big profits and a $30 billion stock buyback plan. CEO Ryan McInerney said Visa’s business model is helping them stay steady in these tough times. But airlines and auto parts companies are still feeling the pain from tariffs.
Outside the US, Pakistan’s stock market crashed over fears of military conflict with India, which also hurt Indian markets. In Europe, the central bank raised interest rates even though banks are still shaky after problems at Credit Suisse.
Tech firms like Super Micro Computer reported less demand for AI equipment, while BlackRock invested more in blockchain technology. Experts say investors should be careful with risky stocks right now and look at safer options as global uncertainty grows.
US-UKRAINE MINERALS Deal Ignites Hope for Trump’S Strong Support
— The United States and Ukraine have signed a new deal giving America access to Ukraine’s key minerals. Ukrainian leaders say this version is better for them than past drafts, which would have made Ukraine less of an equal partner. The agreement still needs approval from Ukraine’s parliament.
The deal also sets up a fund to help rebuild Ukraine. Kyiv hopes this will secure more U.S. military aid in the future. A similar agreement almost happened before but was stopped during tense talks with President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and President Zelenskyy.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio called this week “very critical” for ending the war in Ukraine. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the deal sends Russia a clear message: The Trump administration stands by a free and independent Ukraine.
Ukraine sees this as an important move to keep America as its top ally against Russia’s invasion. Now all eyes are on whether Kyiv’s lawmakers will approve the plan.
SHOCKING SURGE: Violent Gangs Flood US-Canada Border After Trump Inauguration
— Dozens of suspected Venezuelan Tren De Aragua (TdA) gang members have been caught at the U.S.-Canada border since President Trump took office in January. Customs and Border Protection reported 40 arrests at Detroit’s Ambassador Bridge between January 20 and March 21, 2025.
The Ambassador Bridge, often confusing for drivers, has become a main spot for catching violent criminals trying to enter the country. Some Democrats, like Rep. Rashida Talib, and groups such as the ACLU claim most detainees ended up there by mistake because of GPS errors or unclear signs.
CBP says there is no proof that Trump’s border policies caused these arrests. Still, a former DEA agent believes tougher crackdowns on drug rings are pushing gangs like TdA to try new routes into America.
This recent spike shows how important strong border security remains as criminal groups look for any chance to slip through.
DRONE ATTACKS Shock Migrant Hotel: Police Rush to Find TikTok Culprit
— Police in Staffordshire are racing to find out who used a drone to drop eggs and stink bombs on a Tamworth hotel full of migrants. The Holiday Inn Express, now home to asylum seekers from the Channel crisis, became the target of these bold attacks.
A viral TikTok video titled “stink bomb drone drops on asylum seekers” has already pulled in over 500,000 views. It even uses Pat Benatar’s “Hit Me With Your Best Shot” as background music. Another clip shows eggs just missing three men standing in the parking lot.
The unknown person behind the TikTok account has gained more than 8,500 followers and 90,000 likes since starting up. Now, police are working hard to track down whoever is responsible for these shocking incidents.
TENNESSEE DEFENDS GUN Rights: Powerful NEW LAW Shields Makers from Costly Lawsuits
— Tennessee lawmakers just passed a bold new bill, HB 873, to protect gun manufacturers and dealers. The law blocks most lawsuits against these businesses and stops foreign groups from suing Tennessee gun makers. It now waits for Governor Lee’s signature and would take effect July 1, 2025.
Gun Owners of America cheered the move. They said anti-gun activists want to sue the firearm industry out of business — but not in Tennessee. The law also punishes anyone who files a lawsuit that breaks these rules.
If someone files an unlawful lawsuit under HB 873, they must pay triple damages plus cover attorneys’ fees. Supporters say this proves Tennessee stands firmly with its firearms industry.
While over half the country already has similar laws, Tennessee’s version goes even further by adding tough financial penalties for frivolous lawsuits. Once signed by Governor Lee, these strong protections will be locked in for years ahead.
TRUMP’S Bold Crackdown: Illegal Immigrant Gangs Feel The Heat
— President Trump’s team is stepping up the fight against violent illegal immigrant gangs like MS-13. Homeland Security officials say these groups are “getting increasingly desperate” as police close in.
Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News Digital that calling gangs like MS-13 “terrorists” gives law enforcement more power to deport them. The administration has also grown its work with local police, using their skills and manpower through the 287(g) program.
Since Trump took office, officers have arrested 2,394 illegal immigrant gang members. McLaughlin says this is just the start and promises even more arrests and removals of dangerous criminals from American neighborhoods.

INDIA-PAKISTAN Ceasefire Shattered: Heartbreaking Chaos Returns to Border
— Violence broke out again between India and Pakistan just hours after they agreed to a ceasefire. Explosions hit Srinagar and Jammu, with both countries blaming each other for breaking the deal. People living in Kashmir are scared as peace slips away.
The United States and other countries tried to help stop the fighting, but their efforts have not worked. More families are leaving their homes, crowding train stations as they search for safety. Pakistan says it still wants peace, but India’s air defenses stay on high alert.
Experts say rising violence around the world is making things worse everywhere. India is trying to balance its interests by making trade deals with the UK while also buying energy from Russia.
Even with all this trouble, people around the world took time to celebrate Mother’s Day. The holiday gave families a short break from fear and uncertainty.
