FOREIGN STUDENTS as Pawns: How Hamas Manipulates US Campuses

02 April 2025 — Al-Ketbi warns that foreign students are being manipulated by terrorist groups like Hamas, backed by Iran. His comments follow the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian-born Columbia University graduate facing deportation for pro-Hamas activities. Khalil’s case highlights how extremist groups exploit U.S. immigration laws to infiltrate society.

Khalil is accused of being a Hamas sympathizer with anti-American views, linked to violent campus activities at Columbia University. Videos show him urging protesters to “destroy” and “explode the heads of Zionists.” Al-Ketbi warns this is part of a pattern where foreign students act as proxies for hostile regimes like Iran on American campuses.

Student groups such as Columbia University’s Apartheid Divest and Students for Justice in Palestine are cited as platforms spreading antisemitic or pro-terrorism discourse under humanitarian pretenses. Al-Ketbi emphasizes that these organizations often mask their true intentions behind human rights activism while promoting dangerous ideologies.

He argues that U.S. academic institutions are vulnerable due to inadequate vetting and misuse of free speech protections. Universities must prevent political or terrorist exploitation to safeguard against these threats, according to Al-Ketbi’s analysis in the Saudi outlet Elaph translated by MEMRI.

STOCK MARKET Chaos: US Faces Economic Fears as Tariffs Loom

01 April 2025 — U.S. stocks took a nosedive today as President Donald Trump’s “Liberation Day” approaches, bringing potential tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum imports. Analysts warn these tariffs could trigger a market downturn and increase recession risks. Wolfe Research has already revised U.S. growth estimates for 2025 down to 1.6%.

Retail giant Kohl’s experienced its worst trading day since 1992, with stocks tumbling by 26% after issuing disappointing guidance for the year. Investor anxiety is also heightened by an upcoming House vote on a stopgap funding bill, adding to market volatility.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average has fallen 8.3% from its peak, raising concerns about the tech sector’s performance compared to the S&P 500. Investors are bracing for further shifts as policy decisions unfold in the coming days amid fears of reduced earnings across sectors due to new tariffs and declining consumer confidence.

TRAGIC LOSS: US Soldiers Perish in Lithuania BOG Mystery

01 April 2025 — Three U.S. Army soldiers tragically died in Lithuania when their armored vehicle sank into a peat bog during a training exercise. This incident happened last week as they were working with Lithuanian forces in tough terrain. Search efforts are still ongoing, but one soldier is yet to be found.

Both local and international teams joined forces to search for the missing soldiers, facing delays due to the bog’s harsh conditions. The U.S. Army has extended condolences to the families of those lost and is investigating what led to this heartbreaking event.

The military continues searching for the missing soldier, collaborating with local authorities for a thorough investigation while supporting affected families.

CANADIAN PRIDE Surge: US Businesses Face Tough Times

01 April 2025 — The “Buy Canadian” movement is gaining steam, impacting U.S. companies looking to expand into Canada. Demeter Fragrances, a Pennsylvania perfume maker, stopped its expansion plans due to changing Canadian tastes. CEO Mark Crames noted a growing dislike for American products in Canada.

This trend isn’t just about perfumes but spans different sectors like drinks and citrus fruits from the U.S. Canadian businesses are thriving as local goods win over consumers. Jason McAllister of Irving Personal Care reported their Canadian-made diapers’ weekly shipments have quadrupled, showing this shift in buyer behavior.

The movement worries U.S.-based consumer companies that depended on the Canadian market for growth chances. Executives are now rethinking strategies as they face more difficulties entering the Canadian retail space amid rising protectionist feelings.

CHINESE MIGRANTS Surge: Florida’s Wealthy Enclave Under Pressure

31 March 2025 — A wave of Chinese migrants arriving by boat in South Florida is sparking a human smuggling investigation. Coral Gables, known for its wealthy neighborhoods and Mediterranean Revival architecture, is seeing this unusual influx. The rise in migrant interceptions highlights a broader trend across Florida since 2020.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection data shows a big jump in Chinese nationals entering the state, from 406 in 2020 to 723 by 2024 — a shocking 78% increase. This trend raises concerns about China’s growing influence near affluent American areas like Coral Gables’ Gables Estates, the priciest housing market nationwide according to Zillow.

Eric Brown, a retired Green Beret and CEO of Imperio Consulting, notes that Coral Gables’ closeness to international waterways makes it an appealing entry point for migrants. “Coral Gables is right next to international waters,” Brown explained, stressing its strategic location just 90 miles from Cuba’s coastline. This geographical edge may be aiding the recent rise in migrant arrivals from China.

“Cardinal McElroy’s SHOCKING Critique of Trump’s IMMIGRATION Policies”

28 March 2025 — Cardinal Robert McElroy criticized policies he likens to crusades and mass deportations, urging a more welcoming approach to immigration. Speaking in Washington D.C., he advocated for secure borders that respect human dignity and generous asylum policies. He believes most Americans would support these changes.

McElroy indirectly targeted former President Trump’s immigration strategies, suggesting they lack compassion for Americans. He referenced the Good Samaritan story to emphasize kindness in handling global migration issues. According to McElroy, this narrative should guide U.S. government actions on immigration matters.

Pope Francis’s teachings were highlighted by McElroy, who stressed recognizing both victimhood and wrongdoing within ourselves as part of Christian conversion. This introspection is crucial for addressing migration complexities ethically and compassionately.

Despite these calls for empathy, the financial aspects of migration complicate distinctions between travelers, robbers, and helpers today. Economic implications often overshadow moral considerations in policy discussions on immigration reform.

EL PASO Shooter Escapes Death Penalty: Families Seek Closure

26 March 2025 — The gunman behind the 2019 El Paso Walmart shooting will avoid the DEATH penalty due to a new plea deal. Patrick Crusius, who killed 23 in a racially driven attack, will serve life without parole. This decision concludes years of prosecutors’ efforts to seek execution by lethal injection.

El Paso County District Attorney James Montoya revealed the plea offer, highlighting victims’ families’ wish for closure as crucial. He stressed that this choice avoids lengthy legal battles and appeals. “No more hearings. No more appeals,” Montoya declared, ensuring Crusius will die in prison without further public attention.

Not all families supported Montoya’s decision to drop the death penalty pursuit. The previous leadership had vowed to try Crusius for capital punishment. Still, many view this as a chance for healing and finality within the community impacted by one of America’s deadliest mass shootings.

Crusius has already been sentenced at the federal level to 90 consecutive life terms after pleading guilty to hate crime charges earlier this year. His attorney, Mark Stevens, did not immediately comment on Tuesday’s plea offer announcement.

TRUMP’S BOLD Move: US to Join British Commonwealth?

23 March 2025 — Former President Donald Trump is excited about the United States possibly joining the British Commonwealth. He shared his thoughts on Truth Social, linking to a Daily Mail report suggesting King Charles III might offer associate membership during Trump’s next state visit to Britain. “I love King Charles,” Trump said, adding that the idea “sounds good” to him.

The British Commonwealth, formed in 1926, includes 56 countries like Australia and Canada, many of which were former British colonies. The monarch serves as the head of this voluntary group. Queen Elizabeth II focused heavily on maintaining these ties throughout her reign.

Fox News Digital has asked the White House for comments on this potential development but hasn’t received a response yet. Meanwhile, experts believe Prince William sees strong ties with figures like Trump as vital for the monarchy’s future stability and influence worldwide.

Rural Seniors STRUGGLE as SOCIAL Security Rules Shift

22 March 2025 — Veronica Taylor, a 73-year-old from rural West Virginia, faces challenges with new Social Security rules. She lacks internet skills and transportation, making it hard to access her benefits.

The Trump administration wants to streamline processes and cut fraud by requiring online or in-person identity checks for Social Security recipients. This change could be tough for people like Taylor.

Mary Weaver, visiting the McDowell County Senior Center, shares worries about these changes starting on March 31. Seniors in remote areas might struggle without proper support systems.

STUDENT’S Disappearance Sparks Travel Safety Alert

22 March 2025 — The disappearance of Sudiksha Konanki, a University of Pittsburgh student, has raised concerns about travel safety during spring break. Konanki vanished from the Riu Republica Resort in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, on March 6. Her case highlights the need for vigilance when traveling abroad.

Bobby McDonald, a former Secret Service agent with over two decades of experience, shared essential safety tips for travelers. He emphasized staying within familiar areas and resort properties to avoid potential dangers. “Once you get off the property,” McDonald warned, "it’s very quickly you can find yourself in an area that you don’t want to be.

McDonald also stressed the importance of traveling in groups and not separating from companions. This advice is crucial for students planning trips abroad during spring break or study programs. Staying together can significantly reduce risks and enhance personal safety while exploring new destinations.

IDAHO MURDERS: Shocking New Evidence Against Kohberger

21 March 2025 — New court filings in the Idaho student murders case could severely impact Bryan Kohberger’s defense. Legal experts highlight that Kohberger allegedly bought a Ka-Bar knife on Amazon months before the murders and searched for a replacement shortly after. This evidence adds to the mounting challenges faced by his defense team.

Bryan Kohberger, a former criminology Ph.D. student, is accused of killing four University of Idaho students with a large bladed weapon. The victims — Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin — suffered multiple stab wounds according to Latah County Coroner Cathy Mabbutt. Prosecutors noted that at least two victims were too intoxicated to resist during the attack.

A Ka-Bar knife sheath found under Mogen’s body contained DNA allegedly linked to Kohberger, further complicating his defense strategy. Prosecutors also shared an alleged selfie taken by Kohberger hours after the murders as part of their evidence against him.

Experts argue that the timing of his purchases and searches will be hard for his defense to justify in court. The prosecution’s detailed presentation of this digital trail significantly strengthens their case against him.

TRUMP’S GOLD Card Plan: Economic Boost or Risky Gamble?

20 March 2025 — During a chat with Laura Ingraham, former President Donald Trump tackled worries about his gold card plan. He assured that any unsavory individuals would be screened and removed if needed. Trump stressed that those found unfit would get refunds and be sent out of the country.

Trump pointed out the economic perks of the plan, noting that people who can pay the $5 million fee are likely to create jobs. He believes these immigrants will boost the economy by generating jobs and encouraging business growth.

Trump also mentioned that companies might buy these gold cards to hire top graduates from America’s best schools. This strategy aims to attract skilled professionals who can drive innovation and competitiveness in various fields.

“Social Security IDENTITY Checks Trigger OUTRAGE Among Millions”

19 March 2025 — The Social Security Administration’s new plan requires in-person identity checks for millions, stirring concern among lawmakers and advocacy groups. This change aims to fight fraud, a priority highlighted by President Trump. However, the closure of government offices at the same time has sparked criticism.

Starting March 31st, those unable to verify their identity online must visit an SSA field office. Yet, with 47 field offices set to close and mass layoffs planned, service delays are expected. This raises fears of increased barriers for vulnerable populations needing Social Security services.

Nancy LeaMond from AARP criticized eliminating phone verification as impractical and warned it would cause longer wait times. She stressed the need for transparency and input from affected older Americans. Delays in Social Security services could lead to significant economic hardship for recipients who rely on timely assistance.

DEADLY STORM Chaos: America’s Heartland in Ruins

17 March 2025 — A DEADLY storm system has unleashed chaos across the United States, resulting in at least 39 fatalities and widespread destruction. Tornadoes, dust storms, and wildfires have ravaged communities, leaving hundreds of homes and businesses destroyed.

CANADA’S Carney Rallies European Allies Amid US Turmoil

17 March 2025 — Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney arrived in Paris to meet French President Emmanuel Macron. He’s working to strengthen ties as tensions rise with the Trump administration. This is Carney’s first official foreign trip since taking office on March 14. His schedule also includes meetings in London with U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer and King Charles III, highlighting Canada’s historical links to Europe.

During his swearing-in, Carney stressed Canada’s unique identity separate from the United States, dismissing any idea of joining the U.S. This follows President Trump’s tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum and remarks about Canada as a potential 51st state. These actions have sparked frustration in Canada, leading to calls for boycotts of American goods.

A senior Canadian official noted that Carney’s European visit aims to bolster partnerships with London and Paris amid current U.S. challenges. The trip includes a stop at Notre-Dame Cathedral before talks at the Palais Élysée, though Macron may avoid a joint press conference to sidestep conflict with Trump by not openly siding with Canada.

Before returning home, Carney plans to visit Canada’s Arctic region to emphasize national security and sovereignty there. He is expected to call for a federal election soon after his return, ahead of Parliament resuming sessions in Ottawa.

REPUBLICAN REPS Face Public Showdown: Cheers vs Jeers

Despite House Speaker Mike Johnson’s advice against such gatherings, both representatives engaged with their constituents. Edwards encountered vocal opposition in Asheville, North Carolina, while Hageman received quieter inquiries in Evanston, Wyoming.

In Asheville, opponents of Edwards expressed their discontent through chants and interruptions during his session. The atmosphere was tense as attendees challenged him on various issues. Meanwhile, in Evanston’s heavily Republican setting, Hageman addressed questions with less hostility from the audience.

Voters at both events showed interest in actions taken since President Donald Trump assumed office. In Wyoming, Joy Walton sought clarity on Elon Musk’s role within the Trump administration. Hageman explained Musk’s position as a “special government employee” with top-secret clearance and praised his efforts to cut government spending through foreign aid contract reforms.

Viktoria Kuszak from Sucden Financial highlighted Russia’s rejection of a US ceasefire proposal in Ukraine as a key factor adding to the instability.

Gold’s rise proves its lasting role as a safe-haven asset during uncertain times. It first topped $1,000 after the financial crisis and hit $2,000 during COVID-19. Now, it reaches new heights amid trade wars and global unrest.

Meanwhile, the crypto market is on edge awaiting a crucial ruling in the Ripple-SEC case that could change digital asset regulations worldwide. This decision may set new standards for future finance tech developments.

TRUMP FIGHTS Back: Supreme Court Birthright Ruling Could Change Everything

14 March 2025 — The Trump administration is asking the Supreme Court to allow parts of its birthright citizenship restrictions. This comes after legal challenges stopped President Trump’s executive order. Judges in Maryland, Massachusetts, and Washington have put a nationwide halt on the order.

The order seeks to deny citizenship to children born after February 19 if their parents are in the U.S. illegally. It also stops U.S. agencies from recognizing these children’s citizenship through documents. Three federal appeals courts have blocked this policy so far.

About two dozen states and various groups argue that the order breaks the 14th Amendment, which promises citizenship to anyone born in America. The Justice Department argues that individual judges shouldn’t make nationwide rulings and wants limited enforcement against only those who sued.;

US SHIP INFERNO: Russian Captain Arrested After Fiery Collision

12 March 2025 — A Russian national captained the cargo ship involved in a collision with a U.S. tanker off England’s coast, causing a massive fire and fuel spill. The captain is in UK police custody on suspicion of manslaughter by gross negligence. One crew member is missing and presumed dead, while all 23 aboard the U.S.-flagged MV Stena Immaculate are safe.

The Solong, flagged under Portugal, collided with the MV Stena Immaculate while it was anchored near Hull, transporting jet fuel for the American military. Ernst Russ owns the Solong, which had a mixed crew of Russian and Filipino nationals. This incident has sparked concerns about maritime safety standards and oversight.

Inspections before the collision revealed serious deficiencies on the Solong, including steering issues and inadequate safety equipment. Despite these findings during inspections in Dublin and Scotland last year, authorities did not detain the vessel. This raises questions about enforcing maritime regulations to prevent future accidents involving international vessels near U.S.-allied waters.

UKRAINE’S Shocking Move: US Ceasefire Plan Accepted

12 March 2025 — Ukraine and the United States announced a major development on Tuesday. After discussions in Saudi Arabia, Ukraine agreed to a U.S. proposal for a 30-day ceasefire with Russia. This decision comes as the U.S. resumes military aid and intelligence sharing with Kyiv immediately.

The joint statement from both countries highlights their cooperation amid ongoing tensions with Russia. The ceasefire aims to provide a temporary halt in hostilities, allowing diplomatic efforts to take center stage.

This move is seen as a strategic step by the Biden administration to stabilize the region temporarily while exploring long-term solutions. Critics argue that such measures may only offer short-lived relief without addressing deeper issues in Eastern Europe.

UKRAINE CEASEFIRE: US Backs Peaceful Hope In Russia Conflict

TRUMP’S Bold Education Overhaul: A Game-Changer?

12 March 2025 — President Donald Trump has proposed major changes to the Education Department, aiming to reduce its size and influence. He appointed Linda McMahon as the new education chief with a clear mission: make her role obsolete. This move is part of a broader strategy that could eventually lead to closing the department, although such a step would need congressional approval.

The Trump administration has started restructuring efforts within the department. Under Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, numerous contracts labeled “woke” or wasteful have been terminated. Additionally, the Institute of Education Sciences has been significantly downsized, impacting its data collection on academic progress nationwide.

Despite these cuts, federal funding remains vital for many educational institutions across the country. President Trump plans to redirect federal funds away from schools promoting “critical race theory” and other controversial content while supporting initiatives like universal school choice programs. Though federal contributions account for only about 14% of public school budgets, colleges heavily rely on this funding through research grants and student financial aid programs.

Closing the Education Department would involve redistributing its responsibilities to other agencies. This includes managing billions in federal funds allocated annually to schools and colleges and overseeing regulatory roles for services benefiting students with disabilities or from low-income backgrounds. Trump’s vision emphasizes rewarding states that align with his educational priorities while reducing bureaucratic oversight at the federal level.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has been invited back to the White House for further discussions. The Russian Foreign Ministry expressed willingness for continued dialogue with U.S. representatives, sparking hope for a peaceful resolution that respects Ukraine’s sovereignty.

Safety concerns have escalated following a tragic midair collision involving an Army helicopter and an American Airlines jet near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in January 2025. All 67 individuals on board both aircraft perished, prompting NTSB investigator Jennifer Homendy to urge the FAA to implement urgent safety measures immediately.

On the economic front, Asian markets are experiencing significant declines amid global sell-off trends impacting investor confidence worldwide. Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan saw market drops of about 2% as part of this broader financial downturn following the S&P 500’s worst day of the year on March 11th.

The proposed ceasefire aims to reduce hostilities and open doors for further negotiations between the involved parties, signaling a strategic shift in U.S. foreign policy toward stabilizing Ukraine through diplomacy.

This announcement arrives during heightened tensions between Ukraine and Russia, where continued hostilities threaten regional stability. Since the conflict began, the U.S.’s role has been crucial in providing both military and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine, underscoring its commitment to supporting allies against aggression.

CARNEY’S Courage: Canada Stands Firm Against Trump’s Trade WAR

10 March 2025 — Mark Carney, former central banker, is set to become Canada’s next prime minister after winning the Liberal Party leadership with 85.9% support. He will take over from Justin Trudeau, who announced his resignation in January but remains in office until Carney is sworn in. Carney plans to call an election soon amid rising trade tensions with President Donald Trump.

Carney has a history of managing economic crises, having led both the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England through tough times. He promises that Canada will stand firm against Trump’s tariff threats and maintain retaliatory tariffs until respect is shown by the U.S. “We didn’t ask for this fight,” Carney stated, emphasizing Canada’s readiness to defend its interests on the trade front.

The opposition Conservatives aimed to focus on Trudeau’s declining popularity due to rising living costs and immigration issues during the upcoming election campaign. However, Trump’s aggressive trade policies have shifted public sentiment against American actions, leading Canadians to boycott U.S. goods and cancel trips southward as a protest.;

KOHBERGER Trial DRAMA: Defense Fights to Limit "Murder" Talk

10 March 2025 — As Bryan Kohberger’s trial approaches, legal battles heat up over language and evidence. The defense wants to limit words like “murder,” “psychopath,” and even mentions of “bushy eyebrows.” They argue that crime scene photos should be restricted because they might sway the jury emotionally.

Prosecutors respond by asking the defense not to label the state’s death penalty pursuit as an “attempt to kill” Kohberger. A major motion from Kohberger’s team seeks to drop the death penalty, citing delays in evidence sharing by prosecutors.

Unsealed documents from an Ada County judge reveal these filings, with a warning that future sealed submissions must have legal justification. Shanon Gray, representing a victim’s family, criticized poor communication between authorities and his clients but stayed silent on the filings due to a gag order.

DEMOCRATS BLOCK Bill to Protect Women’s Sports: Heated Debate Ensues

09 March 2025 — Democrats in the Senate recently blocked a bill aimed at banning biological men from competing in women’s sports. The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act faced a filibuster, despite its clear language stating that sex should be recognized based on reproductive biology and genetics at birth.

During a heated exchange, Leland Vittert questioned how Democrats can claim to represent American values while opposing such measures. Jennifer McClellan argued against the bill, suggesting it would lead to invasive practices like checking children’s physical characteristics to enforce compliance. Vittert dismissed this as a “false talking point,” emphasizing that birth certificates already indicate sex.

McClellan maintained her stance, insisting that enforcement would require intrusive actions, which she believes are unacceptable. This debate highlights ongoing tensions between protecting women’s sports and addressing concerns about privacy and discrimination.

The issue remains contentious as both sides grapple with balancing fairness in sports with individual rights and freedoms. Conservatives argue for clear definitions based on biology, while opponents raise concerns about potential overreach and privacy violations.

US SECRET SERVICE Strikes: Russian Crypto Exchange Shutdown Sends Shockwaves

US SHOCKS WORLD by Siding with Russia at UN Vote

The U.S. joined a group of autocratic nations opposing a resolution condemning Kremlin aggression. This resolution, introduced by Ukraine, passed with support from 93 nations while 65 abstained from voting.

In aligning with Russia and allies like North Korea and Belarus, Ambassador Dorothy Shea defended the U.S.'s focus on ending the war rather than assigning blame. She noted past resolutions failed to stop ongoing suffering in Ukraine and beyond.
