COLORADO FIRE Horror: FBI Slams “Terrorism” Label On Attack
— A shocking fire attack in downtown Boulder, Colorado, left eight people hurt. Police say Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, from El Paso County, is the main suspect. The FBI now calls this a targeted act of terrorism and is working with local law enforcement.
Investigators are gathering evidence and talking to witnesses at the scene. Soliman is under guard in a hospital while doctors check his condition.
This comes as other major crime stories grip the nation — like Bryan Kohberger’s murder trial in Idaho and a federal push to stop fentanyl trafficking that led to several arrests.
Police warn that violent crimes by illegal migrants and new trends like “jugging” robberies are on the rise. Americans remain worried about public safety as these threats keep growing.
STONEHENGE SUMMER Solstice Shock: 25,000 Brave Heat for Ancient Ritual
— About 25,000 people showed up at Stonehenge before sunrise on Saturday to celebrate the summer solstice. This is one of the rare times each year when visitors can walk right up to the ancient stones.
English Heritage said more than 400,000 others watched the event online. The gathering happened as Britain faced its first major heat alert since last fall.
Stonehenge is about 5,000 years old. Builders hauled its huge stones from places as far away as northern Scotland and southwest Wales.
Every year, people from all over travel to see this famous monument and take part in its age-old traditions.
JUDGE’S Shocking Decision: Palestinian Protester Walks Free From ICE Detention
— A federal judge has ordered Mahmoud Khalil, a former Columbia University student, released from an immigration center in Louisiana. Khalil had been held since March after joining pro-Palestinian protests. The Trump administration wanted him deported.
Judge Michael Farbiarz said there was no proof that Khalil was a danger or likely to run away. He called the ongoing detention “highly unusual” for someone with no violent record and legal U.S. residency.
Khalil must give up his passport and cannot leave the country but will get his green card back. He can travel inside the U.S. only for family visits or court dates.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio says Khalil should still be expelled, warning that letting him stay could hurt America’s foreign policy interests.
MINNESOTA SHOCK: “Police” Disguise Tricks Lawmakers in Deadly Attack
— A Minnesota man, Vance Luther Boelter, is accused of killing former state House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband. He also wounded Senator John Hoffman and his wife. Police say Boelter wore a fake police uniform, body armor, and carried a Beretta 9mm handgun during the attacks.
Boelter drove a black SUV with flashing lights and a “police” license plate to look like real law enforcement. His background in security work is raising big questions about how he got police gear so easily.
Acting U.S. Attorney Joseph H. Thompson described chilling footage showing Boelter pretending to be an officer to get inside before shooting. Even trained officers could have been fooled by his disguise, said former NYPD officer Bill Stanton.
Federal charges are expected soon as officials call this a “targeted” attack on public servants. The investigation continues into how someone with security ties pulled off such a shocking crime using police gear meant for trust and safety.
SHOCKING CYBERATTACK Paralyzes US Power Grids: Millions Left in the Dark
— A massive CYBERATTACK hit key infrastructure across several states, knocking out power grids and communication networks. Millions of Americans lost electricity and phone service, leaving families in the dark and unsure what would happen next. Emergency crews rushed to restore order as chaos spread.
Intelligence officials believe foreign hackers are behind this attack. The timing is troubling, coming just before important national security reviews. Federal cybersecurity teams jumped into action late on June 15, 2025.
Thankfully, no injuries have been reported so far. Still, this attack shows how weak parts of our infrastructure remain. The Department of Homeland Security is working with private companies to stop further damage.
President Trump called an emergency National Security Council meeting right away. The FBI and NSA are searching for who is responsible while the Department of Energy works around the clock to bring back power. Experts warn that unless America gets serious about cyber defense, next time could be even worse.
MUSK’S Shocking Apology to Trump: Inside the Powerful Peace Deal
— Elon Musk and President Trump were at odds this week after Musk slammed the Republican budget on X and accused Trump of hiding Jeffrey Epstein files. Things got even hotter when Musk called for Trump’s impeachment, which angered many conservatives.
On Tuesday, Musk posted an apology on X for “some” of his recent comments about President Trump. Sources say he also called Trump directly to say sorry. President Trump told the New York Post he welcomed the apology.
Senator J.D. Vance spoke at a Washington event, saying it was wrong for Musk to make those claims but stressed that America wins when big-name business leaders back conservative causes.
Reports show Senator Vance helped work out a peace deal between Musk and Trump that led to the public apology and private phone call, ending their latest feud — for now.
MANHATTAN SCANDAL Shock: Felony Charge Vanishes in EX-Senator Case
— Prosecutors in Manhattan have dropped a serious felony charge against former State Senator Richard Hale. He was accused of taking bribes for political favors. The District Attorney’s Office said there was “insufficient evidence” and that Hale’s rights may have been violated after new information suggested prosecutors made mistakes.
Hale served five terms representing Manhattan. He faced conspiracy, wire fraud, and bribery charges that could have put him in prison for years. His lawyers called the dropped charge a victory for fairness and due process.
This case caught national attention and sparked debate about political corruption in New York. Critics argue dropping the charge shows how hard it is to hold powerful politicians responsible.
Legal analysts say this result proves we need honest prosecutions when it comes to public officials. Hale says he feels relieved and wants to keep serving his community.
WHITE BRITISH Minority Shock: Report Warns of Rapid UK Change
— A new report from the University of Buckingham warns that White British people with two White British parents could become a minority in the United Kingdom by 2063. Professor Matt Goodwin’s research finds their share may fall from 73% today to just 22.7% by the end of this century.
The study also predicts that only four in ten people will have deep roots in Britain by 2122, compared to eight in ten now. It suggests Muslims could make up one in five UK residents.
Professor Goodwin says these dramatic changes raise big questions about whether the country can handle such shifts. He points to high migration and low birth rates as key reasons for what he calls a looming demographic crisis.
The findings are already causing debate across Britain, as many worry about how these changes might affect national identity and social unity.
SHOCKING ARSON Wave Hits UK Prime Minister’S Home: Police Scramble to Protect Starmer
— A string of arson attacks hit homes tied to UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer in north London this May. Police arrested three men, including 21-year-old Ukrainian national Roman Lavrynovych. He appeared in court but denied any role and did not enter a plea.
Officers also caught a 26-year-old man at Luton Airport and another, age 34, in Chelsea. Both are accused of plotting arson with intent to put lives at risk. Thankfully, no one was hurt during the fires.
Counterterrorism detectives are leading the case because the attacks target the Prime Minister’s property. The Crown Prosecution Service’s Counter Terrorism Division approved charges as Starmer and his family now live at Downing Street for safety reasons.
SHOCKING NEW Lead Ignites Madeleine Mccann Search
— Police in Portugal have started another search for Madeleine McCann, the British girl who disappeared during a family trip in 2007. Officers finished their latest operation this week in Praia da Luz but have not said if they found any major clues.
Bryan Stern, founder of Grey Bull Rescue, told Fox News Digital that this renewed search likely came from a trusted inside tip. He suggested it could be from someone close to the main suspect or even the suspect himself.
Stern said these cases are “frustrating” because there are still so many unanswered questions. He pointed out that police are determined to solve this famous case and bring justice for Madeleine’s family.
The world continues to watch as authorities chase every possible lead, hoping that one day the truth about what happened to Madeleine will finally come out.
RETAIL APOCALYPSE Shock: 15,000 US Stores To Close In 2025
— A tidal wave of store closures is about to hit America. Experts warn that nearly 15,000 retail locations will shut their doors in 2025. That’s more than double last year’s record and the biggest wave since the pandemic rocked the country.
Joann Fabrics will close almost 500 stores after several bankruptcy filings. Macy’s plans to shutter at least 66 more locations next year and wants to close around 150 underperforming sites by 2026. Walgreens is also set to shut down about 500 pharmacies as it tries to cut costs.
Other big names like Kohl’s, Advance Auto Parts, Party City, Big Lots, Neiman Marcus, CVS, and Family Dollar are following suit. They blame inflation and weak demand for these tough choices as online shopping keeps growing.
These shutdowns mean lost jobs and struggling local economies across America. While some call this a needed reset for retail giants, many towns will lose trusted businesses that have served them for generations.
MADELEINE MCCANN Search Reignites Hope After Shocking Insider TIP
— Police in Portugal and Germany ended a fresh search for missing British girl Madeleine McCann this week in Praia da Luz. This new effort was likely sparked by an insider tip, according to Bryan Stern, founder of Grey Bull Rescue. Officials have not said if they found any key evidence.
Madeleine vanished back in 2007 while on vacation with her family. The case has left police stumped for years, with no clear answers on who took her or how it happened.
Stern told Fox News Digital that renewed searches like this mean police are still chasing leads — possibly from someone close to the main suspect or even from the suspect himself as part of a deal with prosecutors.
Even after all these years, authorities say they are not giving up hope and remain determined to solve the mystery of what happened to Madeleine McCann.
SHOCKING FEDERAL Scandal Exposed: Top DC Officials Accused of Corruption
— Federal prosecutors have opened a secret probe into top government officials accused of taking bribes and making shady deals. The investigation started after authorities found suspicious messages and money transfers linked to lobbying groups and private contractors.
Insiders say several members of Congress and senior officials may have taken illegal payments to sway laws, especially on defense spending and big building projects. The FBI has searched offices in the Capitol and homes tied to those under suspicion.
Experts say this could become one of the biggest corruption cases in recent memory. If found guilty, those involved could face long jail sentences and be banned from public office for life.
The mood in Washington is tense as critics call for full transparency while some claim the investigation is politically motivated. The Attorney General says justice will be served no matter what, but many Americans doubt there will be real consequences for powerful leaders.
RUSSIA’S Shocking Military Edge: NATO Chief’s Urgent Warning Ignites Alarm
— NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte sounded the alarm in London, saying the post-Cold War era is over. He warned that Russia now outproduces the West in weapons by a huge margin. Rutte called for a five-fold boost to NATO air defenses but admitted Europe is far behind and unprepared for conflict.
Rutte compared today’s danger to the 1930s, warning that “because of Russia, war has returned to Europe.” He urged NATO to prove it can strike back with overwhelming force if attacked. Right now, Russia makes four times more ammunition than all of NATO combined and could be ready for war within five years.
He also pointed out China’s fast-growing military power. Soon, China will have 100 more ships than the U.S., while Western defense production keeps falling short.
Rutte stressed that both Europe and North America must quickly ramp up their factories if they want any hope of stopping threats from Moscow or Beijing.
TRUMP SOUNDS Alarm: Musk’s Risky Moves and Le Pen’s Shocking Ban Rock Conservatives
— Former President Donald Trump just sent a strong warning to Elon Musk. Trump said there will be “serious consequences” if Musk backs Democrat causes. This comes as Musk faces questions about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein and keeps getting big government contracts. Trump didn’t say what he might do, but made it clear he does not approve.
In France, right-wing leader Marine Le Pen was just banned from running for president for five years after a court convicted her of embezzlement. She got four years in prison, with two suspended, and must wear an electronic monitor. Le Pen says the charges are political and promises she won’t quit fighting.
Back in America, President Trump’s tough stance on immigration is making left-wing activists furious as the 2025 election season heats up. At the same time, West Virginia passed a new law that could punish women who don’t report miscarriages — sparking fear and debate across the state.
Across the pond, Britain’s top court ruled that only biological females can be legally called women. This decision is causing heated arguments over gender rights and fairness in sports and public life. All these events show how divided politics have become on both sides of the Atlantic as we head toward 2025.
FEDERAL RESERVE Shock: Painful Rate Hikes Slam Struggling Families
— The Federal Reserve just announced a bold plan to hike interest rates, hoping to slow down runaway inflation. Chairman Jerome Powell said the bank is ready to raise rates by at least 0.75 percentage points if prices don’t cool off soon. This is a big shift from their softer approach in recent years.
Right after the news, stock markets dropped fast. Investors fear higher rates could stall economic growth and even spark a recession.
Powell’s move aims at cooling off housing and job markets, both of which have soared under Biden’s spending policies. Many conservatives warn that these rate hikes will make it harder for families and small businesses already squeezed by rising costs.
This decision means Americans should get ready for more expensive loans and tougher times ahead — problems made worse by Washington’s own actions.
MADELEINE MCCANN Hope Surges After Shocking Insider TIP Sparks New Search
— Police in Portugal and Germany finished a new search for MISSING toddler MADELEINE MCCANN this week. The operation took place in Praia da Luz, Portugal, after what experts believe was a trusted inside tip. Officials have not said if they found any major evidence yet.
Bryan Stern, founder of Grey Bull Rescue, told Fox News Digital that the main questions — who took Madeleine, how it happened, and why — are still unanswered. He said these cases are tough because there are always more questions than answers.
Stern thinks the fresh search may have started because someone close to the main suspect — or even the suspect himself — shared new information with police as part of a deal with prosecutors.
Authorities say they will keep following leads until they get answers for Madeleine’s family and finally solve this heartbreaking case.

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.
WHITE BRITISH Minority Shock: Stunning Report Warns of Rapid UK Demographic Shift
— White British people with two white British parents are set to become a minority in the United Kingdom by 2063, says a new report from Professor Matt Goodwin. The study shows the share of white Britons could fall from 73 percent today to just 22.7 percent by the end of this century.
Professor Goodwin calls these changes “enormous and historically unprecedented.” He warns that such a rapid shift raises tough questions about whether Britain can handle and adapt to this new reality. By century’s end, only four in ten people may be able to trace their roots back several generations in Britain — down from eight in ten today.
The main reasons for this change are high migration levels and falling birth rates among native Britons. The report also points out that earlier predictions missed how fast these changes would happen because migrant arrivals keep hitting record highs.
This trend has sparked debate across the country about what it means for Britain’s future identity, culture, and social stability. Many conservatives say it is time for leaders to take action before these changes become impossible to reverse.
MAJOR RETAIL Chain Shutdown Shock: 150 Stores To Close As Jobs Vanish
— A leading U.S. retailer will close 150 stores across the country in the next year. The company blames falling sales and tough online competition, with most closures hitting city and mall locations where fewer people are shopping in person.
The CEO says this move is part of a bigger plan to boost online sales and give shoppers more modern options. The company will spend $500 million on new shipping centers, better websites, and faster delivery for customers.
This change means layoffs for many office workers and more robots working in warehouses. Experts say these steps are meant to save money and keep the business alive as shopping habits change fast.
Investors liked the news — company stock jumped 7% after hours. Some experts warn this is just the start: old-school retailers must adapt or risk going out of business as online shopping takes over.
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.
FLORIDA HUMAN Trafficking Bust Shocks State: Over 50 Innocents Freed in Heroic Raid
— Federal agents in Florida carried out “Operation Free?&?Safe” early this morning, breaking up a large human trafficking ring. More than 50 victims — including children — were rescued, and police arrested 12 suspects. The bust came after six months of undercover work that uncovered forced labor and prostitution across several counties.
Police searched homes throughout Miami, finding illegal drugs, guns, and piles of cash linked to the trafficking ring. Investigators say the “Miami Kings” gang ran the operation with help from crime groups in Central America.
U.S. Attorney Lisa Carter said this shows law enforcement’s strong commitment to stopping these evil networks and protecting vulnerable people. Children saved from the ring are now getting medical help as police continue their investigation.
Community leaders praised officers for their work, calling it a big win against human trafficking in Florida. Police expect more arrests as they hunt for other members tied to the gang.;
BOULDER HORROR: Jewish Grandmother Burned in Firebomb Attack Shocks Community
— A shocking attack hit Boulder, Colorado, when Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 45, threw firebombs at a Jewish rally for Israeli hostages. He used Molotov cocktails and a homemade flamethrower while yelling “Free Palestine.” Eight people were hurt. One of them is a Holocaust survivor.
Police say Soliman planned the assault for nearly a year and picked his target because he called them “Zionists.” The FBI and local police are treating this as both terrorism and a hate crime. Federal charges will likely follow.
Colorado’s attorney general called it hate-fueled violence against peaceful people. Governor Jared Polis also said it was an act of terror.
This attack comes after other antisemitic crimes across the country. Jewish communities are now on high alert. Security has been stepped up at synagogues as police continue searching for more threats in Boulder.
LIVERPOOL PARADE Panic: Car Slams Into Crowd, Kids Hurt in Shocking Scene
— A joyful day turned frightening when a car plowed into fans at the Liverpool FC victory parade. Police say it is not terrorism, but an “isolated event.” The driver, a 53-year-old British man, was arrested on the spot.
Four children were hurt — one seriously. In total, 27 people went to the hospital and 20 more got help for minor injuries right there.
Police are still figuring out if it was an accident or done on purpose. They have asked people not to jump to conclusions while they investigate.
Emergency crews rushed in as crowds watched in disbelief. Officers said they will keep working until they get answers about what caused this chaos.
CRYPTOCURRENCY SHOCK: Investor Arrested in Horrific SoHo Torture Case
— A New York crypto investor, John Woeltz, was arrested after police say he kidnapped and tortured an Italian tourist in a SoHo brownstone. Officers claim Woeltz and his group tricked the victim into coming from Italy with fake business promises. Once here, they held him for weeks to steal his crypto accounts.
The crime happened on Prince Street in Manhattan’s trendy SoHo area. Police charged Woeltz with assault, kidnapping, unlawful imprisonment, and having a gun without permission.
This disturbing case is raising alarm about rising crime linked to cryptocurrency deals in New York City.
Law enforcement warns that the dark side of digital currency is growing fast — and it’s getting harder for officials to keep up.

— A gunman stormed UPMC Memorial Hospital in Pennsylvania on May 15, 2025. Officer Andrew Duarte was shot and killed while responding to the chaos. Several hospital workers were also hurt before police stopped the attacker.
Officers acted fast and shot the suspect dead at the scene. Their quick action likely saved many lives and kept more people from getting hurt.
After the shooting, police set up a strong presence outside as emergency crews rushed in to help. Investigators are now looking into why this happened and how security can be improved.
This attack shows just how much danger first responders and medical staff face today. Many conservatives say it’s time for tougher steps to protect our police, hospitals, and communities from violent crime.
ARSON PANIC Rocks UK: Starmer’s Home Targeted in Shock Attack
— A man has been arrested after fires broke out at places linked to UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, including his private home in London. Police are calling the incident suspicious and have started a full investigation.

Security for government leaders is now under the spotlight. Many people are asking if political tensions in Britain are getting worse and what this means for public safety.
The police investigation is still active. More information will come out as detectives and government officials share new details.
NEW JERSEY Mayor’S Shocking ICE Arrest Ignites Fury In Immigration Battle
— Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, a Democrat and candidate for governor, was arrested by federal agents outside a New Jersey ICE detention center on Friday. Baraka refused to leave during a protest and was charged with trespassing. His arrest has angered progressives but sparked praise from conservatives who say he tried to block federal law enforcement.
This comes as the Trump administration steps up immigration enforcement across the country. Over 100 people were arrested in Tennessee as part of President Trump’s expanded deportation plan. Left-wing groups protested, while sanctuary city leaders continue to clash with federal authorities.
In other major legal news, Sean “Diddy” Combs faces ongoing court cases, and the Alexander brothers have been hit with new sex trafficking charges. The Supreme Court also brought back Ohio’s ban on gender-affirming care for minors, and a late-term abortion clinic was ordered to close by a federal judge.

UK TAXPAYERS SHOCKED: Iranian Suspect In Israel Embassy Plot Housed For Free
— British police arrested five Iranians this month, suspecting them of planning a terror attack on the Israeli embassy in London. One of the men, age 40, had lived for over six months in a taxpayer-funded home in Rochdale run by Serco.
Reports say he crossed into the UK illegally from France by boat and then claimed asylum. Neighbors said migrants living there paid nothing for rent or bills — everything was covered by taxpayers.
Terrorism expert Anthony Glees called the Calais boat route a “clear and present danger” to national security. He said warships — not lifeboats — should meet migrants at the border to protect Britain.
Serco has tried using more private homes for asylum seekers instead of expensive hotels. But this plan has raised worries about safety and put more strain on local housing markets already under pressure.

MINNESOTA ASSASSINATION Horror: Manhunt Ignites Fear After Lawmaker Slayings
— A quiet Minnesota suburb is in shock after a brutal “politically motivated assassination” claimed the lives of State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband. State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife were also attacked and left fighting for their lives. The suspect, Vance Boelter, is still on the run, causing panic as police launch a statewide manhunt.
Authorities say Boelter pretended to be law enforcement to get close to his victims. He left behind a chilling manifesto with more names on his hit list. Families are locking their doors as fear spreads through the community.
Governor Tim Walz called it an attack on democracy itself, while President Trump condemned the violence and promised swift justice. The FBI has joined local police in asking Minnesotans to stay alert and report anything suspicious.
This tragedy has left two children without parents and rattled Minnesota’s political world. Many conservatives point to this attack as proof that unchecked political anger can turn deadly fast — and demand stronger protection for public officials before it happens again.
