TRUMP DOJ’S Powerful Move: Deportation of Anti-Israel Activist Stuns Campus
— The Department of Justice under President TRUMP is moving to deport Momodou TAAL, a Cornell student known for his anti-Israel protests. Court documents show that TAAL, who has dual citizenship in the UK and Gambia, is being asked to surrender to immigration authorities.
Eric Lee, TAAL’s attorney, slammed Trump’s actions as an “urgent threat of dictatorship.” He confirmed receiving notice from the DOJ about deportation proceedings and an invitation for TAAL to appear at ICE’s Syracuse office.
TAAL has been outspoken on social media since the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks, showing support for “resistance” against Israel and criticizing the U.S. Despite being on a student visa since 2022, he has called for "the end of the US empire.
A rally at Cornell University saw hundreds supporting TAAL last week, although he was not present. In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), TAAL assured followers of his safety and readiness for court proceedings.

SERBIAN Parliament ERUPTS: Smoke Bombs, Injuries, and Political Turmoil
— At least three lawmakers were injured, one critically, during chaotic scenes in Serbia’s parliament. Smoke bombs and flares disrupted a vote on university funding. Opposition parties had raised concerns about the ruling government’s agenda, leading to heightened tensions.
The uproar was sparked by discontent over educational funding. Opposition members claim the proposed budget fails to meet Serbian universities’ needs. Eyewitnesses describe clashes amid smoke and confusion, resulting in injuries.
Law enforcement intervened to restore order as opposition members protested against what they called governmental negligence toward education institutions. Political analysts predict significant implications for upcoming elections due to growing public hostility towards the ruling party.
The Supreme Court’s state security chamber will rule on a separate appeal by prosecutors regarding this incident by April 8. Follow ongoing developments as tensions within Serbia continue to simmer.
UKRAINE’S Nuclear Sites In Danger: Russian Threats Ignite Fear
— Ukraine relies heavily on nuclear power due to ongoing Russian strikes on its power grid. Over half of the country’s electricity now comes from nuclear energy. However, the unprotected nuclear switchyards, essential for transmitting this power, are at risk of attacks.
Despite warnings over a year ago, Ukraine’s Energy Ministry delayed action to secure these sites. Only recently did they start building defenses after Ukrainian intelligence pointed out potential Russian threats. Analysts say this response might be too late if an attack happens.
Oleksandr Kharchenko, a Ukrainian energy expert, warns that hitting two switchyards could cut supply for 30-36 hours and limit energy for weeks during winter. This delay in protection poses serious risks to civilian life and infrastructure resilience.
The U.N. nuclear agency has repeatedly warned about disaster potential if these switchyards are disrupted since they also help cool reactors and spent fuel at plants. Backup systems exist but are only temporary solutions during long outages, according to experts like Marcy R. Fowler from Open Nuclear Network.
2024’s MOST MISPRONOUNCED Names Revealed: A Surprising List
— Vice President Kamala Harris and pop star Chappell Roan topped the list of most mispronounced names in 2024. Released by Babbel and The Captioning Group, this list highlights common pronunciation errors made by news anchors and politicians. It serves as a look back at the year’s most talked-about topics and figures.
Chappell Roan, known for her hit “Good Luck, Babe!” and six Grammy nominations, often has her name mispronounced as SHA-pel ROW-an instead of CHAP-uhl ROHN. During Kamala Harris’s unsuccessful presidential run this year, her great-nieces clarified that her first name is pronounced COM-a-la at the Democratic National Convention.
U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg also made the list due to ongoing confusion over his last name’s pronunciation. His campaign previously used “Boot-Edge-Edge” on posters to help people during his 2020 presidential bid.
Even dog breeds like Dutch Kooikerhondje entered American vocabulary this year thanks to Shohei Ohtani’s pet Decoy, who became a fan favorite at Dodgers games. The breed is pronounced COY-ker-HUND-che but often leaves people puzzled when they try to say it correctly.
RUSSIA’S Military Drills in Syria: A Powerful Warning to Ukraine
— Russia recently held major military drills around Syria, showing off its naval and air strength. The exercises involved 1,000 personnel, ten ships, and 24 aircraft. This display is seen as support for Syria and a warning to Ukraine.
The Kremlin called the drills “joint” operations that follow international law. Footage showed modern frigates like Admiral Gorshkov with older Syrian missile boats. Russia also tested its Oniks anti-ship cruise missile during these exercises.
A key moment was the launch of a Zircon hypersonic cruise missile from a frigate, praised by President Putin as a “superweapon.” The Zircon can target ships and land installations. Moscow said another launch from the submarine Novorossiysk involved a Kalibir missile, used often against Ukraine.
These missiles worry Kyiv due to their nuclear capabilities and effectiveness in warfare. Ukraine keeps a close watch on Russian Kalibir-capable ships in the Black Sea as part of its defense strategy against Russian aggression.

IRAN’S Nuclear Threat: Global Fears and Rising Pressure
— The world is worried about Iran’s nuclear activities. Rafael Grossi, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), stressed the need for “concrete, tangible and visible results” during his visit to Tehran. He urged Iran to show progress and ease tensions to possibly avoid conflict.
Grossi’s comments seem directed at Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz’s recent statements. Katz pointed out Israel’s airstrikes in October, saying they revealed Iran’s nuclear sites to potential attacks. He claimed these actions might help remove threats against Israel.
Grossi criticized Iran for not cooperating with IAEA inspectors and increasing uranium enrichment activities. He noted that compliance with inspection rules stopped early in the Biden administration, complicating transparency efforts and resolution attempts.
US STRIKES on ISIS in Syria: A Powerful Blow to Terrorism
— U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced a series of successful strikes on ISIS locations in Syria, eliminating up to 35 terrorists. The operation targeted multiple camps and took out several senior ISIS leaders, with no civilian casualties reported.
CENTCOM stated that these airstrikes will disrupt ISIS’s ability to plan and execute attacks against civilians, the U.S., allies, and partners in the region. The command emphasized its commitment to degrading ISIS’s operational capabilities alongside regional allies to ensure the group’s defeat.
This announcement follows an incident in Iraq where two U.S. service members were injured during an operation that killed at least seven ISIS operatives. Both service members are reportedly in stable condition as CENTCOM continues its efforts against terrorism in the Middle East.
IDF’S POWERFUL Blow: Hezbollah’s Command Shattered in Southern Lebanon
— The IDF Chief of General Staff, LTG Herzi Halevi, recently visited southern Lebanon with key military leaders. He assessed the situation with commanders from various divisions. The focus remains on striking Hezbollah decisively.
Halevi emphasized the significant damage inflicted on Hezbollah’s command structure. “We’ve taken out their entire senior command level,” he stated, noting that around 1,500 Hezbollah operatives have been eliminated. This has reportedly led to a decline in morale among enemy forces.
In a separate operation, the IDF announced the killing of Mahmoud Hamdan (Tom), a Hamas commander previously thought dead. He was responsible for guarding Yahya Sinwar and overseeing hostages in Gaza. His elimination marks another strategic victory for Israel’s defense forces.
Joel B. Pollak of Breitbart News reported these developments while also promoting his books on Trump’s presidency and agenda. Pollak is known for his conservative commentary and analysis across various platforms including Sirius XM Patriot radio show on Sunday evenings.

250 HEZBOLLAH Fighters ELIMINATED: Israel’s Powerful Response
— The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced they eliminated 250 Hezbollah terrorists, including nearly two dozen commanders, in southern Lebanon. The operation targeted over 2,000 sites like terrorist facilities and missile platforms. IDF spokesperson Avichay Adraee highlighted the success in preventing threats to northern Israeli residents.
During the operation, IDF forces found Hezbollah’s combat equipment warehouses and missile launchers ready for use. They also discovered explosive devices left by terrorists near the separation fence. This effort aimed to neutralize entrenched threats and protect Israeli citizens from danger.
Among those killed were five battalion commanders, ten company commanders, and six platoon commanders of Hezbollah forces. Despite these successes, the IDF reported two Israeli soldiers died during combat in northern Israel on Friday. Prime Minister Netanyahu acknowledged the ongoing “tough war” with Hezbollah as tensions remain high along the border.

IRAN’S Nuclear Threat: Iaea Demands Compliance
— The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) passed a resolution with a vote of 20-2, urging Iran to comply with its nuclear obligations. Russia and China opposed the measure, while the Biden administration reluctantly supported it despite concerns about jeopardizing nuclear deal negotiations.
A joint statement from the UK, France, and Germany emphasized the need for Iran to cooperate fully with the IAEA. The resolution followed Iran’s blocking of senior inspectors and its significant enrichment of uranium beyond limits set by Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal.
IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi criticized Iran’s actions as “completely uncalled for” and “illogical.” Grossi visited Tehran in May to address issues including inspector bans and halted monitoring devices at nuclear sites.
RUSSIA’S Nuclear Warning: UK Military Sites in Crosshairs Amid Escalating Tensions
— Russia has heightened tensions by threatening to target UK military bases. This aggressive stance follows Britain’s decision to supply weapons to Ukraine, which Russia alleges have been used against its territory. This threat emerges as Russia prepares for President Vladimir Putin’s fifth term inauguration and the national Victory Day celebrations.
In a bold response to what it describes as Western provocations, Russia is set to conduct military drills that simulate the use of tactical nuclear weapons. These exercises are unique because they focus on battlefield nuclear capabilities, unlike typical maneuvers involving strategic nuclear forces. Tactical nuclear weapons are intended for localized impact, minimizing broader destruction.
The global community has expressed deep concern over these developments. U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric voiced worries about the increasing talk of nuclear arms usage, describing the current risks as “alarmingly high.” He emphasized the need for nations to refrain from actions that might lead to misjudgments or catastrophic consequences.
These events underscore a critical moment in international relations, highlighting the delicate balance between national defense and global security threats. The situation calls for careful diplomatic engagement and a reassessment of military strategies by all involved nations to prevent further escalation of tensions.
NYPD STANDS United: A Powerful Display of Support at Officer’s Court Hearing
— In a moving display of unity, around 100 NYPD officers gathered at the Queens courthouse. They were there to show their support during the arraignment of Lindy Jones, who is facing charges related to the death of Officer Jonathan Diller.
Jones and Guy Rivera are at the center of this case due to their alleged involvement in the March incident that tragically ended Officer Diller’s life. Jones has pleaded not guilty to weapon possession charges, while Rivera faces more severe accusations, including first-degree murder and attempted murder.
The courtroom was filled with NYPD officers, a testament to their collective mourning and unwavering support for one another. Amidst this somber backdrop, Jones’ defense lawyer highlighted his client’s right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty.
This high-profile case has sparked renewed debate over crime and justice in New York City. Critics argue that individuals like Jones and Rivera represent a clear danger to society and question why they were allowed freedom prior to committing such heinous acts against law enforcement.
PUTIN’S NUCLEAR Warning: Russia Ready to Defend Sovereignty at All Costs
— President Vladimir Putin has issued a stern warning, asserting that Russia stands ready to employ nuclear weapons if its statehood, sovereignty, or independence come under threat. This statement emerges just before a presidential vote this week where Putin is anticipated to clinch another six-year term.
During an interview with Russian state television, Putin underscored the full readiness of Russia’s nuclear forces. He confirmed that the nation is militarily and technically prepared and would resort to nuclear action if its existence or independence was threatened.
Despite his continuous threats since launching the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Putin refuted any plans of using battlefield nuclear weapons in Ukraine as there hasn’t been any necessity for such drastic measures so far.
U.S President Joe Biden was characterized by Putin as an experienced politician who comprehends the potential dangers of escalation. He voiced optimism that the U.S would avoid actions that could potentially ignite a nuclear conflict.
PUTIN’S NUCLEAR Warning: Russia Ready to Defend Sovereignty at ANY Cost
— In a stark warning, President Vladimir Putin has declared that Russia stands ready to employ nuclear weapons if its statehood, sovereignty or independence comes under threat. This alarming statement comes on the eve of a presidential election this week where Putin is anticipated to secure another six-year term.
During an interview with Russian state television, Putin underscored the full readiness of Russia’s nuclear forces. He confidently affirmed that from a military-technical standpoint, the nation is primed for action.
Putin further explained that according to the country’s security doctrine, Moscow would not hesitate to resort to nuclear measures in response to threats against “the existence of the Russian state, our sovereignty and independence”.
This isn’t Putin’s first mention of his willingness to use nuclear weapons since initiating the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. However, when queried about deploying battlefield nuclear weapons in Ukraine during the interview, he asserted there was no necessity for such drastic measures.
UKRAINE’S Downfall: The Shocking Inside Story of the Most Devastating Ukrainian Defeat in a Year
— SLOVIANSK, Ukraine — Ukrainian soldiers found themselves in an unrelenting battle, defending the same industrial block for months with no relief. In Avdiivka, troops had been stationed for nearly two years of the war without any sign of replacements.
As ammunition dwindled and Russian airstrikes intensified, even fortified positions were not safe from advanced “glide bombs”.
The Russian forces employed a strategic onslaught. They first sent lightly armed soldiers to exhaust Ukraine’s ammunition reserves before deploying their well-trained troops. Special forces and saboteurs staged ambushes from tunnels, adding to the chaos. During this turmoil, a battalion commander mysteriously vanished according to law enforcement documents seen by The Associated Press.
In less than a week, Ukraine lost Avdiivka — a city that had been defended long before Russia’s full-scale invasion began. Outnumbered and nearly surrounded, they chose withdrawal over facing another deadly siege like Mariupol where thousands of troops were either captured or killed. Ten Ukrainian soldiers interviewed by The Associated Press painted a grim picture of how dwindling supplies, overwhelming Russian force numbers and military mismanagement led to this catastrophic defeat.
Viktor Biliak is an infantryman with the 110th Brigade who has been stationed since March 2022 said that
PAKISTAN’S Nuclear Leverage: Hamas Leaders Urge for a Showdown with Israel
— Leaders of Hamas and Islamic scholars gathered in Pakistan’s capital recently. They suggested that the ongoing conflict in Gaza might be stopped if nuclear-armed Pakistan were to threaten Israel. These remarks have been widely reported in Pakistani media and noted by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).
The conference, titled “The Sanctity of Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Responsibility of the Islamic Ummah,” was put together by the “Pakistan Ummah Unity Assembly.” According to MEMRI, this assembly is a network of Islamic religious organizations.
Ismail Haniyeh, one of the main speakers at this event, called on Pakistan to take a more proactive role in resolving the Israel-Hamas conflict. He said, “If Pakistan threatens Israel, then we can halt this war. We have high hopes from Pakistan. They can compel Israel to back down.”
Haniyeh also referred to Jews as “the biggest enemy of Muslims worldwide.” This inflammatory language has raised eyebrows among international observers due to concerns about escalating tensions in an already unstable region.

— The United States is opposing efforts by some European allies, including Poland and the Baltic states, to offer Ukraine a “road map” to NATO membership. Germany and Hungary are also resisting efforts to provide Ukraine with a path to join NATO at the alliance’s July summit.
Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has warned that he will only attend the summit if tangible steps are presented toward NATO membership.
In 2008, NATO said that Ukraine would become a member in the future. Still, France and Germany pushed back, concerned that the move would provoke Russia. Ukraine formally applied for NATO membership last year after Russia’s invasion, but the alliance remains divided on the path forward.
