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.
BOULDER FIRE Horror: Eight Innocent Victims, Suspect in Custody
— A shocking fire attack rocked downtown Boulder, Colorado, on June 5, 2025. Eight people — four men and four women aged between 52 and 88 — were hurt. Police have not shared details about how badly they were injured.
Officers named Mohamed Sabry Soliman, age 45 from El Paso County, as the suspect. After the incident, police took him to a hospital for evaluation before booking him into Boulder County Jail on multiple charges.
Investigators have not said why the attack happened. They are still looking for answers and want anyone with information to come forward.
This violent act has many worried about safety in Boulder’s downtown area. Police are stepping up patrols while residents wait for more news from city officials.
UNIFIL EXIT Shocks Region: US-Israel Deal Ends 50 Years of UN Failure
— The United States and Israel have agreed that the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) will leave southern Lebanon. The Jerusalem Post confirmed this plan, with a United Nations Security Council vote expected soon.
UNIFIL has been in place for almost 50 years. Many say it ignored Hezbollah’s attacks on Israel and failed to keep the peace. Conservatives often argue that the UN makes Middle East problems worse, not better.
Critics believe most UN peacekeeping missions do little to stop terrorists or protect allies like Israel. Letting UNIFIL go may open the door for stronger action against groups that threaten regional safety.
This decision marks a big change in how America and Israel deal with threats near their borders — and shows they are ready to take matters into their own hands.
BOULDER FIRE Horror: “Terrorism” Fears Ignite After Attack by Foreign National
— Eight people were hurt when a fire broke out in downtown Boulder, Colorado, on June 2. Police say Mohamed Sabry Soliman, a 45-year-old Egyptian national from El Paso County, started the blaze. He is now under arrest and faces several charges.
The FBI is leading the case with local police. Officials believe Soliman acted alone and had no ties to known groups or clear motives. Reports claim he may have dressed up as a worker to pull off the attack.
Colorado’s governor called it an act of terrorism and warned about growing threats to public safety. Before this event, Soliman had no serious run-ins with law enforcement.
In other news, a federal judge has stopped deportation for a family linked to the suspect. ICE raids in Los Angeles are causing debate, while President Trump’s team has brought back travel bans on 12 countries over security risks.
UK SECURITY SHOCK: Mystery Aircraft, NHS Chaos, and Free Speech Threat Rattle Britain
— Police in London are looking into a strange event after an unknown aircraft flew low over the city. Emergency crews and military jets rushed to the scene. The airspace was closed for a short time, causing flight delays. Officials have not said what the aircraft was or why it was there but are calling it a possible security threat.
The UK’s National Health Service is facing a massive cyberattack that has shut down hospital systems in several areas. Hackers used ransomware to lock up patient records and demand money. The government refuses to pay, so hospitals have switched to paper records while workers try to fix the problem.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer promised billions for emergency shelters and new housing in London to fight homelessness. Some critics say this plan does not solve the real reasons people end up on the streets.
The UK government also wants to ban social media posts marked as “dangerous misinformation” or “hate speech.” Free speech groups warn this could lead to censorship and hurt online rights for everyone.
— Boulder Attack: Man shouting “free Palestine” throws incendiary device at Israeli supporters, injuring six. The FBI labels it a targeted terror act amid rising antisemitic violence.
— UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s London home suffers suspicious fire. The incident raises national security concerns, and police have arrested a suspect as investigations continue.
TRUMP’S Auto Imports Tarif?F Shock: “Liberation DAY” Ignites Hope For American Jobs
— President Trump just announced a 25% tariff on imported cars and parts, starting April 2, 2025. He calls it “Liberation Day” for American industry. The new tariffs will hit countries like Canada, Mexico, Japan, South Korea, and Germany.
The Trump team says these tariffs will boost U.S. manufacturing and protect American jobs. They believe it’s time to put America first and make foreign countries play by our rules — even if there’s some short-term pain.
Critics warn car prices could rise for families and that supply chains might get disrupted. Some experts say there could be temporary shutdowns in auto plants while companies adjust.
This move is part of Trump’s bigger plan to target steel, aluminum, and other imports from places like China and Venezuela. India may get special treatment as talks continue. Europe is already threatening to fight back over past metal tariffs.
TRUMP’S “Liberation DAY” Shocks Markets: Wall Street Reels as Tariffs Spark Global Showdown
— President Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs have rocked the markets. The Dow dropped more than 2,000 points on some days. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq both fell into bear market territory. These tariffs, reaching up to 125% for some countries, are the highest seen in a hundred years. China, the EU, and Japan are feeling the pain most. China hit back with its own tariffs on American goods. Japan’s finance minister warned of global trouble ahead. Still, US officials say they’re hopeful about future trade talks. Big companies are taking hits too. CarMax shares sank after weak earnings reports. Nvidia tumbled more than 20% from its high point this year. UnitedHealth lowered its profit forecast because Medicare costs keep rising. Experts think this wild ride will last until trade fights settle down. Some industries are holding up better than others under pressure. The Federal Reserve might cut rates three times this year if things get worse — some warn a financial crisis could happen if tariff chaos continues much longer.
— Trump faces backlash over tariff policies President Trump is under fire as his recent tariffs trigger market sell-offs, yet he remains firm in his stance, advocating for interest rate cuts to bolster the economy
— US companies lose TRILLIONS as tariffs hit President Donald Trump’s new sweeping tariffs on foreign imports have resulted in a massive loss of value for American businesses
PARENTS’ HEARTBREAK: Will Newsom Stop Killer’s Release?
— The parents of Emily Shane, a 13-year-old girl killed by a suicidal driver in Malibu in 2010, are pleading with California Governor Gavin Newsom. They want him to prevent the release of Sina Khankhanian, who was found guilty of second-degree murder and sentenced to 15 years to life. The parole board approved his release again in October 2024, but Newsom has yet to intervene.
Khankhanian drove erratically for 17 miles along the Pacific Coast Highway before hitting Emily as she walked home from a sleepover. He claimed he was upset over losing his job and had suicidal thoughts at the time. His attorney argued that Khankhanian’s autism affected his understanding of the consequences of his actions.
In June 2023, a parole board granted him parole, but Newsom reversed that decision later that year. Now with another approval for release on the table, Emily’s parents are frustrated and concerned about their daughter’s killer potentially walking free without further intervention from Newsom.
LABOUR PARTY’S Economic Plan Under Fire: Will It Really Work?
— Britain’s new Treasury chief, Rachel Reeves, vows to run the economy with “iron discipline.” She hinted at above-inflation pay raises for public sector workers to end ongoing strikes.
The Labour Party, elected two weeks ago, faces pressure to increase salaries and welfare without raising taxes or public borrowing. Reeves criticized the previous Conservative government for high taxes and debt.
Labour won a landslide victory on promises of economic growth, housebuilding, green energy projects, and improved public services. The electorate seeks relief from high living costs and past economic mismanagement.
Inflation has dropped to 2%, but strikes by hospital doctors strain the National Health Service. Other public-sector workers like nurses and teachers have also demanded higher pay through walkouts over the past year.
ISRAEL and HAMAS Ink Unprecedented Cease-Fire Deal: Hostages Set for Liberation
— Israel and Hamas have reached a temporary truce, which entails a hostage release arrangement, as verified by Fox News. The Israeli administration has pledged to ensure the safe return of all hostages, beginning with at least 50 women and children. For every subsequent set of ten hostages freed, an additional day of peace will be granted.
The cease-fire was officially declared following confirmation from Israeli and Hamas leaders that negotiations were nearing completion. Qatari mediators played a vital role in securing the agreement, which is scheduled to commence at 10 a.m. local time on Thursday.
As part of this agreement, Israel’s military will temporarily suspend its pursuit of Hamas for humanitarian reasons. Concurrently, Hamas has consented to free dozens of hostages as Israel agrees to release Palestinian prisoners at a ratio of three-to-one.
During its October 7th terror attack, Hamas seized roughly 240 hostages from Israel. The terror group claimed it had captured enough hostages — including Israelis, Americans and other foreign nationals — with the goal of liberating all Palestinians in Israel.

AMAZON SURRENDERS: White House Pressure Forces Shocking Tariff Button U-Turn
— At Tuesday’s White House briefing, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent blasted Amazon for trying to add a “tariff” button on its website. Leavitt called it “a hostile and political act,” saying big companies shouldn’t meddle with President Trump’s new tariffs. After the criticism, Amazon quickly scrapped the idea.
The White House used this moment to double down on its “America First” trade plan. They pointed to ongoing talks with countries like India as proof that Trump’s policies are working. Leavitt pushed back against claims that tariffs hurt Americans, saying foreign exporters — not U.S. shoppers — will pay most of the costs.
This meeting also marked Trump’s 100th day back in office, which Leavitt celebrated by promising more direct updates to supporters. She now holds influencer briefings with pro-Trump media and shares behind-the-scenes videos online.
Leavitt’s goal is simple: skip past legacy media and tech giants like Amazon to speak straight to voters. As policy fights heat up in Washington, Team Trump wants Americans focused on his economic wins — not corporate spin.
