FORD’S $15 Billion Trade WAR Shock: How Trump’s Tough Tariffs Rattled the Auto Giant

08 May 2025 — 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.

TRUMP’S Bold Push: Illegal Immigrant Gangs Feel The Heat

30 April 2025 — President Trump is following through on his pledge to tackle illegal immigrant gangs, putting groups like MS-13 in the spotlight. The Department of Homeland Security says these gangs are under real pressure as the administration steps up enforcement and teams up with local police using the 287(g) program.

DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News Digital that labeling MS-13 and similar gangs as terrorists gives law enforcement more power to deport them. She said letting state and local officers help out makes it easier to find, arrest, and remove gang members from our streets.

Since Trump took office, officials have arrested 2,394 illegal immigrant gang members in just his first 100 days. McLaughlin says this is only a start — and that Americans should expect even more arrests as the effort continues to keep communities safe.

TRUMP’S Bold Crackdown: Illegal Immigrant Gangs Feel The Heat

30 April 2025 — 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.

JIMMY WHITE’S Shocking Farewell: A Brotherly Bond Beyond The Grave

10 April 2025 — British snooker player JIMMY WHITE made headlines with a startling revelation about his brother’s funeral. In a recent interview, White admitted to taking his deceased brother Martin’s body to a pub in 1996 as a final farewell. “We were all in shock and were in floods of tears for hours,” White told TalkSport, describing the emotional moment.

Despite attempts by others to stop him, White accessed his brother’s body at the funeral home by breaking a padlock. Overwhelmed with emotions, he laughed and cried simultaneously over his loss. This unusual act reflects the deep bond he shared with his brother and shows how grief can appear unexpectedly.

Currently ranked among the top 100 snooker players globally, White is aiming to qualify for the World Snooker Championship. His candid admission sheds light on personal struggles even top athletes face away from their professional lives.

RUSSIA’S CEASEFIRE Bluff: Will They Really Stop the Conflict?

04 April 2025 — Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that RUSSIA’s commitment to a ceasefire in Ukraine will soon be tested. Speaking at NATO headquarters, Rubio stressed the U.S.’s desire to end the conflict and warned against potential delay tactics by Moscow.

Russia’s rejection of a 30-day ceasefire proposed by Ukraine and its conditions for a Black Sea truce have raised doubts about its intentions. The Trump administration remains cautious, with President Trump unwilling to engage in endless talks without concrete actions from Russia.

Rubio avoided detailing Russia’s conditions for peace but pointed out discrepancies between official reports and actual discussions with foreign leaders. This was clear after President Trump’s call with Russian President Putin, where differing accounts emerged about commitments on Black Sea force usage.

“DEVASTATING Tornadoes UNLEASH Havoc Across the Midwest”

03 April 2025 — Danny Qualls stood in the ruins of his family farm in northeast Arkansas, witnessing the aftermath of destructive tornadoes. The storms flattened his childhood home, leaving a trail of devastation from Oklahoma to Indiana. Unfortunately, more storms are on the way, bringing heavy rains and flash floods across the Midwest.

Rhonda Qualls described her husband’s emotional struggle after the disaster. “He was in shock last night, cried himself to sleep,” she said. Despite their grief, they must now focus on recovery efforts.

The initial wave of tornadoes claimed at least six lives in Tennessee, Missouri, and Indiana. One particularly powerful tornado hurled debris nearly five miles into the air above Arkansas, showing its fierce strength.

FBI RAID: Houston Home of New Orleans ATTACKER Uncovered

02 January 2025 — Authorities searched the Houston home of Shamsud-Din Jabbar on January 2, 2025. The FBI and Harris County Sheriff’s Office conducted a court-authorized search around 7:50 a.m. They cleared Crescent Peak Drive, assuring residents there was no ongoing threat.

Jabbar, identified as the suspect in the New Orleans attack, drove a Ford pickup into Bourbon Street crowds during New Year’s celebrations. He exchanged gunfire with police before being shot and killed. The attack resulted in at least 15 deaths and many injuries.

The FBI’s New Orleans office leads the investigation into this tragic event. Details remain scarce due to the ongoing nature of their work. Authorities plan to update the public with more information during an upcoming news conference at 11 a.m. ET.

IMAM’S SHOCKING Outburst Post Fatal Hit-and-Run: The Truth Uncovered at Old Bailey Trial

10 January 2024 — A shocking hit-and-run event involving Imam Qari Abassi has led to a high-profile trial at the Old Bailey, England and Wales’ Central Criminal Court. On May 4th, 2021, Abassi is accused of fatally striking Harvinder Singh, who was lying unconscious on a London street while two men tried to shield him. The incident occurred as Abassi raced towards a mosque for early morning prayers.

Court evidence included dashcam footage capturing the moment of impact. After the collision, Abassi was recorded shouting derogatory phrases in Urdu. He defended his outburst by claiming it was aimed at the two men who narrowly escaped his car’s path, not Singh.

The two men testified that they had to leap aside “to save their lives” from Abassi’s speeding vehicle. Singh suffered fatal head and chest injuries after being run over. Despite admitting he was driving above the speed limit, Abassi denies causing death by careless driving.

Through an interpreter in court, Abassi claimed he thought Singh was an object like a “bin or briefcase.” He expressed frustration towards the two men signaling him to stop because he didn’t know them and saw no need to interrupt his journey.

EMERGENCY Alert Test: The NATIONWIDE Drill You Can’t Ignore

04 October 2023 — The federal government is set to conduct a nationwide test of the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System on Wednesday. This system, designed to deliver a presidential message to Americans within 10 minutes during a national crisis, uses the Emergency Alert System and Wireless Emergency Alerts.

Wireless phone users in the U.S. will receive an alert at 2:20 p.m. Eastern time that reads: “THIS IS A TEST of the National Wireless Emergency Alert System. No action is needed.” Along with this message, phones will emit sound and vibration signals. If any phones are switched off at this time, they will display the alert once powered back on within a half-hour window.

For those tuning into broadcast or cable television or radio during this period, they’ll encounter a one-minute message stating: “This is a nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System by Federal Emergency Management Agency covering United States from 14:20 to 14:50 hours ET. This is only a test. No action required by public.”

Marcos Jr STANDS UP to China: The Bold Challenge Over South China Sea Barrier

30 September 2023 — Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has taken a firm stance against China’s installation of a 300-meter barrier at the entrance to Scarborough Shoal in the South China Sea. This marks his first public opposition to this move, following his directive to dismantle the barrier. Marcos asserted, "We’re not seeking conflict, but we won’t back down from defending our maritime territory and our fishermen’s rights.”

This recent face-off between China and the Philippines follows Marcos’ decision earlier this year to increase U.S. military presence under a defense pact from 2014. This move has raised concerns in Beijing, as it could lead to an increased American military presence near Taiwan and southern China.

After the Philippine coast guard removed the Chinese barrier at Scarborough Shoal, Filipino fishing boats managed to catch around 164 tons of fish in just one day. “This is what our fishermen miss out on... it’s evident that this area belongs to the Philippines,” stated Marcos.

Despite these efforts, two Chinese coast guard vessels were seen patrolling the shoal’s entrance by a Philippine surveillance aircraft on Thursday. According to Commodore Jay Tar

NET NEUTRALITY Revival Pushed by Biden’s New FCC Pick: The Real Impact on Telecom Companies

26 September 2023 — Following the unsuccessful Senate endorsement of Gigi Sohn, President Biden has now confirmed Anna Gomez as the new commissioner for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). This appointment breaks a 2-2 deadlock at the Commission. In response, Democrats and progressive nonprofits have begun to advocate for the return of Title II regulations on telecom companies.

On Monday, a group of 27 Senate Democrats, which included Senators Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Ron Wyden (D-OR), and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), called on FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel to reestablish Title II regulations on internet service providers. These were regulations that had been withdrawn during Trump’s tenure.

Last week, progressive nonprofit Free Press also stepped up its efforts by starting a petition urging the FCC to bring back net neutrality rules. These rules were first introduced during Obama’s presidency before social media censorship became widespread. Net neutrality was initially touted as a means to safeguard an open internet by classifying telecom companies as common carriers.

Free Press emphasized that net neutrality is essential for preserving an internet that is “free, open and accessible to all.” However, critics contend that such regulation could potentially stifle innovation and competition within the sector.

Chris PACKHAM’S RADICAL Call to Break the Law: Is It Justified or a Threat to Democracy?

23 September 2023 — In his most recent show, “Is It Time To Break The Law?”, seasoned BBC presenter Chris Packham hinted that legal protests might not be enough for environmental causes. On Channel 4, Packham suggested that law-breaking could potentially be a necessary step to save our planet.

Known for his wildlife programs and involvement in left-wing climate marches like Extinction Rebellion (XR), Packham is currently rallying support for a “Restore Nature Now” demonstration. This protest is scheduled later this month outside the Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) headquarters in London.

The provocative comments made by the Springwatch host on public broadcaster Channel 4 have ignited considerable controversy. Critics contend that endorsing illegal activities erodes democratic procedures and establishes a perilous precedent.

BORDER CHAOS Escalates: Migrants from Around the Globe Swarm Southern Border, Agents Struggle to Cope

22 September 2023 — In a remote corner of Southern California, a diverse group of migrants hailing from countries such as China, Ecuador, Brazil, and Colombia have surrendered to Border Patrol agents. Their makeshift desert campsite is a stark symbol of the recent surge in asylum-seekers that has put immense pressure on various parts of the U.S.-Mexico border. This influx has led to shutdowns at border crossings in Eagle Pass (Texas), San Diego and El Paso.

The Biden administration finds itself scrambling for solutions following a brief dip in illegal crossings due to new asylum restrictions introduced in May. With Democrats pushing for more resources to accommodate asylum-seekers and Republicans using this issue as ammunition for the upcoming 2024 elections, Temporary Protected Status has been granted to an estimated 472,000 Venezuelans already residing in the U.S., adding to the 242,700 who had previously qualified.

In response to this crisis, an additional 800 active-duty military personnel have been deployed at the border joining an existing force of 2,500 National Guard members. Furthermore, holding facilities are being expanded by an additional capacity of 3,250 spaces. The administration

RUSSELL BRAND’s Career Hangs in the Balance: Sexual Assault Allegations Emerge

18 September 2023 — British comedian Russell Brand is facing serious allegations of sexual assault from multiple women. This has resulted in the postponement of his live performances and a severed relationship with his talent agency and publisher. The U.K. entertainment industry is now wrestling with whether Brand’s celebrity status protected him from accountability.

Brand, now 48, denies the accusations made by four women through a Channel 4 documentary and articles published in The Times and Sunday Times newspapers. Among these accusers is one woman who alleges she was sexually assaulted by Brand at age 16, while another claims he raped her in Los Angeles back in 2012.

The Metropolitan Police force has been notified of an alleged sexual assault that occurred in Soho, central London, back in 2003 — earlier than any assaults reported by media outlets so far. Although they did not directly name Brand as the suspect, police acknowledged the TV and newspaper allegations during their announcement.

In response to these serious allegations, Brand insists all his past relationships were consensual. As more women step forward with accusations against him, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s spokesman Max Blain labeled these claims as “very serious and concerning.” Conservative legislator Caroline Nokes has called on British and U.S. law enforcement to investigate these alarming allegations.

US, UK UNVEIL ‘20 Days in Mariupol’ to the WORLD: A Shocking Expose of Russia’s Invasion

11 September 2023 — The United States and Britain are shining a spotlight on the atrocities of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. They’ve organized a U.N. screening of the acclaimed documentary “20 Days in Mariupol”. This film documents the experiences of three Associated Press journalists during Russia’s brutal siege on the Ukrainian port city. UK Ambassador Barbara Woodward stressed that this screening is vital, as it exposes how Russia’s actions challenge the very principles that U.N. upholds — respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Produced by AP and PBS series “Frontline”, “20 Days in Mariupol” presents 30 hours worth footage recorded in Mariupol after Russia launched its invasion on February 24, 2022. The film captures street battles, extreme pressure on residents, and deadly attacks that took innocent lives including pregnant women and children. The siege concluded on May 20, 2022 leaving thousands dead and Mariupol devastated.

U.S ambassador to U.N., Linda Thomas-Greenfield referred to “20 Days in Mariupol” as a vivid record of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war aggression. She called upon everyone to witness these horrors and recommit themselves towards justice and peace in Ukraine.

The AP’s coverage from Mariupol has drawn ire from Kremlin with its U.N ambassador

CONVICTED KILLER on the Loose: Danelo Cavalcante’s Daring Escape from Pennsylvania Prison

07 September 2023 — Convicted murderer, Danelo Cavalcante, is now a fugitive. After a daring escape from Chester County Prison in Pennsylvania, he has successfully evaded capture. The U.S Marshals Service has confirmed that Cavalcante, sentenced to life for the 2021 murder of his ex-girlfriend, is also implicated in a homicide case in Brazil.

Acting Warden Howard Holland unveiled surveillance footage of Cavalcante’s escape during a press briefing. The video captures the moment when Cavalcante scales a wall and braves through razor wire to make his audacious exit.

Cavalcante’s breakout commenced at 8:33 a.m., as he mingled with other inmates in the exercise yard. By 9:45 a.m., prison officers reported him missing—an unsettling indication of severe lapses in prison security measures.

UNCOVERED: The SHOCKING Truth Behind Scott Johnson’s Mysterious Death in Australia

06 September 2023 — Scott Johnson, a bright and openly gay American mathematician, met an untimely death under a cliff in Sydney, Australia over three decades ago. Investigators initially deemed his death a suicide. However, Steve Johnson, Scott’s brother, doubted this conclusion and embarked on a long journey to seek justice for his brother.

A new four-part documentary series titled “Never Let Him Go” delves into the life and death of Scott. Produced by ABC News Studios in collaboration with Show of Force and Blackfella Films for Hulu, it also sheds light on Steve’s tireless quest to uncover the truth about his brother’s demise amidst Sydney’s notorious era of anti-gay violence.

Upon hearing about Scott’s passing in December 1988, Steve left the U.S. for Canberra, Australia where Scott resided with his partner. He then undertook a three-hour drive to Manly near Sydney where Scott died and met Troy Hardie — the officer who investigated the case.

Hardie insisted that he based his initial suicide verdict on evidence or lack thereof at the scene. He pointed out that authorities found Scott naked at the cliff base with neatly folded clothes and clear identification atop it. Additionally, Hardie mentioned speaking to Scott’s partner who disclosed that Scott had previously considered suicide.

CANADA’S FREEDOM Convoy Trial Begins: Unmasking the Controversial Protest Tactics

06 September 2023 — The trial of Tamara Lich and Chris Barber, organizers of Canada’s Freedom Convoy, commenced on Tuesday. Prosecutors are focusing not on political ideologies but on the protest methods used.

Lich and Barber were arrested in February 2022 following nearly a month of protests in Ottawa. The demonstrators demanded the termination of federal mask and vaccine mandates amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Critics suggest that their actions extended beyond health measures to challenge the broader Liberal Canadian government.

Throughout their protest, truckers remained stationed outside Canada’s Parliament building, a move city officials labeled as an “occupation”. Over a 13-day trial (with an additional six days in October), The Crown Prosecution will argue that these gridlock tactics constituted dangerous action.

Alongside other organizers, Lich and Barber face charges including mischief, counseling others to commit mischief, intimidation and obstructing police. This case represents a pivotal point in evaluating how society perceives and conducts protests.
