BOND Star BRUCE Glover’s Emotional Farewell at 92

30 March 2025 — Bruce Glover, famous for playing assassin Mr. Wint in the James Bond movie “Diamonds Are Forever,” has passed away at 92. His son, actor Crispin Glover, shared the news on Instagram with a touching tribute and family photo.

Glover started his acting career after serving in the US Army during the Korean War from 1953 to 1955. He became known for memorable roles in films like “Chinatown” (1974), “Walking Tall” (1973), and “Hard Times” (1975).

Born in Chicago to Czech, English, and Swedish parents, Bruce Glover made his TV debut on shows like “My Favourite Martian” (1963) and “Perry Mason: The Case of the Golden Girls” (1965). He kept appearing on popular series such as “Mission: Impossible” (1970) and “The Dukes of Hazzard” (1979).

250 YEARS of “GIVE ME Liberty Or Give ME Death”: A Timeless Battle CRY

23 March 2025 — The phrase “Give me LIBERTY or give me death!” has echoed through history, from Tiananmen Square to COVID-19 protests in the U.S. Malcolm X used it in 1964 for equal rights for Black Americans. President Donald Trump quoted it on Truth Social during his criminal hush money trial last year.

Originally spoken by Patrick Henry 250 years ago, the phrase urged Virginia colonists to prepare for war against Britain. This call came as tensions rose in Massachusetts with British control over Boston. Historian John Ragosta emphasizes that Henry’s speech was about community and national unity, not personal gain.

Henry’s speech was about 1,200 words long but is remembered for those seven iconic words that have endured like Shakespearean lines. Patrick Henry Jolly, a descendant of Henry, notes its adaptability across various contexts while stressing the importance of understanding its original meaning.

AMERICANS CHEER Bigger TAX Refunds As Dollar Soars

21 March 2025 — Many Americans are seeing larger tax refunds this year, with the average refund hitting $3,324. This increase comes from changes in tax policies and economic conditions. The bigger refunds provide a welcome relief for taxpayers facing ongoing economic uncertainties.

The US DOLLAR has gained strength against major currencies after the Federal Reserve decided to stick with its current interest rate path. Traders expect the Fed to continue with planned rate cuts in 2025, boosting confidence in the dollar’s stability. However, concerns about trade wars remain as markets await an April tariff deadline.

The stock market took a hit despite an initial rise following the Federal Reserve meeting. Investors are cautious due to potential tariff impacts and signs of an economic slowdown highlighted by experts like Jeffrey Roach from LPL Financial. The Dow Jones Industrial Average showed some resilience, but worries about trade tensions persist among market participants.

In other financial news, gold prices reached record highs after the FOMC meeting as investors turned to safe-haven assets amid market volatility. Additionally, Social Security announced changes aimed at speeding up direct deposits while enhancing ID security measures for beneficiaries’ protection. These developments reflect broader trends affecting both personal finances and global markets today.

TRUMP’S Bold SSA Shakeup: What It Means for Americans

03 March 2025 — The Social Security Administration (SSA) is reshaping its Office of Analytics, Review, and Oversight (OARO) into existing divisions. This move aims to streamline management and boost data sharing. The SSA wants to improve fraud detection and tackle waste more effectively.

Additionally, the SSA will end agreements with the Retirement and Disability Research Consortium (RDRC), saving about $15 million in 2025. These changes align with President Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which focuses on modernizing federal technology. However, there’s no direct confirmation that DOGE influenced these specific changes at the SSA.

Acting Social Security Commissioner Lee Dudek says these adjustments are crucial for maintaining program integrity. Democratic senators Ron Wyden and Chuck Schumer raised concerns about the removal of former Acting Commissioner Michelle King, claiming she was ousted for resisting data access pressures.

Future plans regarding further cuts by DOGE at the SSA remain unclear, sparking ongoing discussions among stakeholders. This reflects broader efforts under Trump’s administration to enhance efficiency in social services through governmental reforms.

UK’S GRENFELL Tower DEMOLITION Sparks Emotional Debate

09 February 2025 — The UK government plans to tear down Grenfell Tower, nearly eight years after the tragic fire that took 72 lives. This decision comes amid ongoing talks about safety in high-rise buildings. The tragedy exposed serious flaws in building regulations and fire safety, sparking a national debate.

A government spokesperson said, “This decision reflects our commitment to ensuring safety and acknowledging the pain this tragedy has caused families and the community.” Survivors and residents have mixed feelings. Some see it as a step toward healing, while others worry it might erase memories of those lost.

The government will share a detailed demolition plan with the community, including consultations with survivors and affected families. The goal is to address their concerns during this process. Meanwhile, the Grenfell Inquiry continues investigating what happened before and after the fire.

This marks an important moment in dealing with Grenfell’s aftermath as Britain works on improving housing safety nationwide. The legacy of this disaster remains a strong reminder of needed reforms in building regulations.

THAI HOSTAGES’ Emotional Homecoming After Harrowing Gaza Captivity

09 February 2025 — Five Thai farm workers, held captive by Hamas in Gaza for nearly 500 days, have returned to Bangkok. Their families greeted them with tears of joy at the airport. The emotional reunion followed their release last month as part of a hostage exchange deal.

One freed hostage found it hard to describe the experience but felt immense relief being back home. The Thai government plans to support their reintegration into society after such a long ordeal. This event highlights Thailand’s involvement in the broader Middle East conflict and its impact on citizens abroad.

The safe return of these individuals raises questions about others still held captive in the region. It also poses challenges for international relations concerning ongoing conflicts in Gaza and beyond.

Thailand’s role and response could influence future diplomatic efforts related to hostages and regional stability.

AMERICANS TRAPPED in Venezuela’s Grip: Maduro’s Unjust Detentions

07 February 2025 — Foro Penal has revealed the names of Americans still unjustly imprisoned by Nicolás Maduro’s socialist regime. Recently, Maduro released six men who returned to America with Richard Grenell, President Trump’s Presidential Envoy for Special Missions. Grenell’s negotiations in Caracas led to their release and an agreement on U.S. deportation flights for illegal Venezuelan migrants and criminal organization members.

At the time of their release, only David Estrella was identified by American outlets. Spain’s El País named three others: Aaron Barret Logan, Gregory David Werber, and David Guttember Guillaume. Foro Penal confirmed these identities and identified two more Americans as Eric Auther and Samuel Batista, who were not linked to alleged plots against Maduro.

The Maduro regime accused the CIA and Spain’s National Intelligence Centre of plotting against it but provided no evidence. Foro Penal reported that five American nationals and two lawful permanent residents remain imprisoned in Venezuela as of February 5th. Among them are U.S. Navy SEAL Wilmer José Castañeda, Jonathan Pagan González, and Jorge Marcelo Vargas — all accused in the unproven plot against Maduro’s government.

TRUMP-Led Diplomacy ACHIEVES Release of Americans from Venezuela

04 February 2025 — 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.

AMERICAN-ISRAELI Hostage Freed: Emotional Reunion After Hamas Release

02 February 2025 — Keith Siegel, an American-Israeli dual citizen, has been freed by Hamas along with two other hostages. This release took place as part of a November 2023 truce agreement. Siegel’s freedom shines a light on the ongoing hostage crisis involving members of the Bibas family and others.

In exchange for the hostages, 183 Palestinian prisoners were released. United Press International reported that Siegel was handed over in Gaza City shortly after Yarden Bibas and Ofer Kalderon were freed in Khan Younis. Since January 19, eighteen hostages have been released, while Israel has let go of many more prisoners.

The cease-fire also opened the Rafah Crossing between Gaza and Egypt for the first time in nine months. Israel agreed to this after Hamas released the last living female hostages held in Gaza. The initial hostage-taking followed a brutal terrorist attack by Hamas on October 7, 2023, which resulted in about 250 people being taken hostage and approximately 1,200 killed.

Seven American citizens were among those captured during this attack by terrorists often referred to as “militants” by some media outlets like United Press International. The conflict has seen significant tension and violence since then.

FEMALE SOLDIERS Freed: Emotional Gaza Ceasefire Sparks Hope

25 January 2025 — Hamas militants have freed four female Israeli soldiers, handing them over to the Red Cross in Gaza City. This followed a public display of the soldiers, underscoring regional tensions. The release is part of a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas.

Israel plans to free 200 Palestinian prisoners as part of this fragile agreement. The deal aims to calm ongoing conflicts and open broader talks on hostage swaps. Both sides face international scrutiny while navigating these complex deals.

Humanitarian efforts are underway for those affected by the conflict, with many organizations keeping a close watch on developments. The situation remains delicate, showing the tricky dynamics of Israeli-Palestinian relations. Global attention stays focused on ensuring peace and stability in the region as both parties work through their agreements.

Biden’s BORDER Crisis: SHOCKING Surge in Illegal Crossings Alarms Americans

18 June 2024 — The border crisis under President Biden has reached alarming levels. New data shows a shocking surge in illegal crossings, leaving many Americans concerned. The situation at the southern border is deteriorating, with record numbers of migrants attempting to enter the country.

Border Patrol agents are overwhelmed as they try to manage the influx. Many believe that Biden’s policies are too lenient and encourage more illegal immigration. Critics argue that stronger measures are needed to secure the border and protect American citizens.

Local communities near the border are feeling the impact firsthand. Increased crime rates and strained resources have residents worried about their safety and well-being. Many are calling for immediate action to address these pressing issues before they worsen further.

As this crisis continues, it’s clear that a change in strategy is necessary. Americans want effective solutions that will restore order and security at our borders, ensuring a safer future for everyone involved. The time for decisive action is now, before things spiral out of control even more dramatically than they already have.

Biden’s BORDER Policy SHOCKS Americans: Crime Rates Soar

11 June 2024 — President Biden’s border policy has led to a surge in illegal crossings. Many Americans are worried about the rising crime rates linked to this influx. Local communities are feeling the impact, and some residents say they no longer feel safe in their own neighborhoods.

Critics argue that Biden’s approach is too lenient and lacks proper enforcement. They believe this has encouraged more people to cross illegally, putting a strain on resources and law enforcement.

Supporters of stricter border control point out that crime rates have increased in areas with high numbers of illegal immigrants. They call for immediate action to secure the border and protect American citizens from further harm.

The debate over immigration policy continues, but one thing is clear: many Americans are deeply concerned about their safety and the future of their communities under current policies.

SHOCKING Truth Revealed: MAJORITY of Americans Support Border Wall, New Poll Discloses

30 January 2024 — A recent poll surveying 40,513 U.S. adults has revealed a surprising fact: half of the respondents are in favor of building a border wall. This majority includes not only typical conservative demographics but also groups such as black and Hispanic Americans, women, and independents.

The data shows that 45% of black Americans polled support the idea of a wall, compared to just 30% who oppose it. Hispanic support for the wall is at 42%, marginally outnumbering those against it at 40%. These figures could potentially cause concern for Democrats who have traditionally relied on these demographics for support.

The poll also reveals significant backing from women and independents. Among female respondents, supporters outnumber opponents by nine points (45-36). Independents show an even stronger pro-wall sentiment with an eleven-point lead (44-33). Support appears to be widespread across all regional demographics — even in the traditionally Democrat-leaning Northeast where backing stands at a surprising 49%.

Leading this wave of support is the South with over half (51%) favoring border wall construction. These findings could be game-changers in political strategies as they indicate broad-based endorsement for what has been primarily seen as a MAGA Republican priority.

UNSHAKEN BIDEN Keeps Hunter Close Amidst Impeachment Storm: A Bold Statement or Blind Love?

21 December 2023 — President Joe Biden remains steadfast in his support for his son, Hunter Biden, despite the ongoing impeachment investigation into Hunter’s overseas business dealings. On Monday, the Bidens were spotted sharing a meal with friends before Hunter accompanied the first family on their return flight from Delaware on Air Force One and Marine One.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refuted claims that the administration was trying to hide Hunter by not listing him on passenger rosters shared with journalists. She underscored that it has been a longstanding tradition for presidents’ family members to travel with them, and this custom is not going away anytime soon.

Hunter’s public appearances in front of press photographers and reporters could signify President Biden’s readiness to openly back his son. This support is unwavering even as Hunter faces potential criminal charges and defies a congressional subpoena. Throughout his presidency, President Biden has consistently voiced pride in his son.

DEATH PENALTY On Trial: Americans Voice Unfairness, Report Unveils Shocking Shift

01 December 2023 — The U.S. death penalty is under fire as more Americans express concerns about its fairness. This change in public sentiment is leading to the increasing marginalization of capital punishment in the country, according to a recent annual report.

However, it remains unclear whether this waning support will result in the end of capital punishment. While some experts anticipate its complete abolition soon, others predict a slow decline rather than an immediate vanishing.

In 2023, only 24 individuals were executed and 21 were sentenced to death. This marks the ninth year in a row with fewer than 30 executions and less than 50 death sentences. Only five states — Texas, Florida, Missouri, Oklahoma and Alabama — carried out executions this year; the smallest number in two decades.

A Gallup poll from October disclosed that half of Americans believe capital punishment is unjustly applied. This level of doubt represents the highest since Gallup started surveying this topic back in 2000.

IRAN’S CRY to Brics Nations: ‘Help Stop Israeli Attacks’

07 November 2023 — Iran’s Foreign Minister, Hossein Amirabdollahian, has made a plea to the foreign ministers of the BRICS nations. These nations include Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. He is asking them to call for an Israeli ceasefire in Gaza. This appeal comes as Israel continues its attacks on the Hamas terrorist network. Iran became part of the BRICS coalition in August 2022.

Amirabdollahian’s letter doesn’t mention any of Hamas’ atrocities from October 7th. Instead, he focuses only on what he calls Israel’s “genocidal attacks.” He uses casualty figures from Hamas-run agencies as if they were reliable facts. Furthermore, he accuses Israel of illegal land usurpation and human rights abuses against Palestinians.

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi backed Amirabdollahian’s views in a phone call with Pope Francis. Like his foreign minister, Raisi presented unverified Hamas casualty figures as fact and accused Israel of committing “genocide” against Palestinians. Neither Iranian official acknowledged recent Hamas crimes against humanity.

These crimes include using civilians as human shields and preventing civilian evacuation after warnings from the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) about impending airstrikes. This selective narrative by Iranian officials raises questions about their objectivity and commitment to peace in the region.

AMERICAN TEEN Freed: The Emotional Rollercoaster of a Family’s Fight Against Hamas Captivity

21 October 2023 — Natalie Raanan, an American teenager, has been released after enduring two harrowing weeks as a hostage under Hamas in Gaza. Her father, Uri Raanan from Illinois, confirmed the news of her freedom and reassured that she is recovering well. The announcement sparked an outpouring of relief and joy within the family who had spent anxious hours praying for Natalie’s safe return.

Uri Raanan expressed his overwhelming relief and joy at the thought of his daughter being home in time to celebrate her upcoming 18th birthday. Before her abduction, Natalie and her brother Ben had made plans to get matching tattoos as a symbol of their bond on this special day. In a heartfelt tribute during her absence, Ben got a tattoo that intertwined their names.

The family’s group text message thread turned from cautious optimism to jubilant celebration upon receiving the news about Natalie’s release. Despite their happiness, they remain conscious that other families continue to live under the shadow of fear for their captive loved ones.

US AID To UKRAINE: Biden’s Pledge Faces Surge of Resistance — How Americans Really Feel

19 September 2023 — President Biden’s call for sustained aid to Ukraine, announced at the United Nations General Assembly, is meeting escalating resistance within the US. The administration is pushing for an extra $24 billion in aid for Ukraine by the end of this year. This would escalate total assistance to a whopping $135 billion since the conflict ignited in February 2022.

Yet, a CNN poll from August uncovers that most Americans oppose further aid to Ukraine. The topic has grown increasingly divisive over time. Moreover, despite Western backing and training, Ukraine’s much-hyped counter-offensive has not yielded significant wins.

A Wall Street Journal survey earlier this month revealed that more than half of American voters — 52% — disapprove of Biden’s handling of the Ukrainian situation — a rise from 46% on March 22. Among those surveyed, over one-third believe too much effort is being put into helping Ukraine while only about one-fifth think not enough is being done.

State Department URGES Americans to LEAVE Haiti Immediately

30 August 2023 — The U.S. State Department has issued an urgent warning to all U.S. citizens to leave Haiti as soon as possible. This comes amid worsening security conditions and infrastructure issues in the Caribbean nation. Commercial and private flights from Haiti’s international airports are available for departure.

Seats on these flights are filling up quickly and may only be available several days or weeks in advance. The alert provided a list of commercial airlines servicing Haiti, including American Airlines, JetBlue, Spirit, Air Caraibe, and Sunrise Airways. U.S. citizens were advised to monitor local news and only depart when considered safe.

The State Department stressed the need for extreme caution while traveling around the country. They advised avoiding demonstrations and large gatherings of people, and to turn around if encountering a roadblock. The guidance also warned of increased risks of kidnapping, hostage-taking, theft, and serious injury in high-risk areas.

U.S. citizens are encouraged to make and practice contingency plans for sheltering in place and accessing airports.
