PARENTS’ HEARTBREAK: Will Newsom Stop Killer’s Release?

07 January 2025 — 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.

HEARTBREAKING Plea: FAMILIES of American Hostages Demand Action from US and Israel

28 November 2024 — The families of American hostages held by Hamas for nearly 420 days are pleading with U.S. and Israeli officials to act urgently. Seven Americans are among the 101 hostages in Gaza, leaving their families facing another Thanksgiving with empty seats at the table. Orna Neutra, mother of hostage Omer Neutra, expressed frustration over the lack of urgency in securing their release.

Orna emphasized that while security issues involving Hezbollah and Iran have been addressed, freeing the hostages should be a top priority for Israel. She criticized the slow progress and urged that everything possible be done to bring them home safely. The Neutras participated in an event by the Israeli-American Council featuring artworks dedicated to victims of the October 7 attack by Hamas.

Families have begun questioning Prime Minister Netanyahu’s strategy regarding hostage negotiations amid calls for a cease-fire with Hamas. They demand more decisive action as negotiations appear to falter, pushing both U.S. and Israeli leaders for a “Plan B.” The pressure on Netanyahu is growing both domestically and internationally to secure these hostages’ release promptly.;

I am so sorry from the bottom of my heart," wrote Marcee Gray, 43. Her son Colt Gray allegedly killed two students and two teachers at Apalachee High School last week. Seven others were injured by gunfire, and two suffered other injuries.

Victims included Richard Aspinwall, 39, Cristina Irimie, 53, Mason Schermerhorn, and Christian Angulo, both 14. “If I could take their place, I would without a second thought,” Marcee Gray stated in her letter. She also mourned for the teachers who died protecting students.

TRAGIC Migrant DEATHS in English Channel Demand Urgent Action

05 September 2024 — A day after 12 migrants died in the English Channel, dozens more tried the dangerous crossing from France to Britain. French patrol boats watched as a crowded vessel struggled through the seas. This incident shows the big problem facing both French and U.K. governments.

The mayor of Wimereux, Jean-Luc Dubaële, called for urgent action from French and British officials to stop more tragedies. “Smugglers keep sending people to their deaths,” he said. "It’s high time that a lasting solution is found with Britain.

Cross-Channel migration was a key issue in the recent U.K. general election, which saw Keir Starmer become prime minister. A French prosecutor revealed that 10 of the 12 dead were women and six were minors, many appearing to be Eritrean. The boat sank about three miles off the French coast with many aboard lacking life vests.

TEENS’ SHOCKING Plea Deal in Las Vegas Beating Death

04 September 2024 — Four Las Vegas teenagers pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter in the fatal beating of their high school classmate. The plea deal keeps them from being tried as adults. The attack on 17-year-old Jonathan Lewis Jr. was captured on video and widely shared on social media.

The teens were initially charged with second-degree murder and conspiracy but will now face time in a juvenile detention center for an undetermined period. In Clark County, minors are released after completing rehabilitation programs rather than serving traditional jail sentences, according to Brigid Duffy of the district attorney’s office.

Defense lawyer Robert Draskovich called the plea deal “a very fair resolution.” However, Lewis’ mother, Mellisa Ready, disagreed strongly with the outcome, stating that there is no true punishment for her son’s murder and calling it “disgusting.”

MIGRANT CROSSINGS Surge: Lives at Risk in English Channel Crisis

04 September 2024 — Migrants continue to risk their lives crossing the English Channel, highlighting a growing crisis for France and the U.K. This comes shortly after a tragic incident where a dozen migrants lost their lives. The mayor of Wimereux, Jean-Luc Dubaële, called for stronger action from both governments to address the issue.

Dubaële criticized the criminal networks smuggling people across the channel, labeling it “unacceptable” and “scandalous.” He emphasized that migrants are drawn to Britain rather than seeking asylum in France. He urged immediate discussions with Britain’s new government to find a lasting solution.

The issue of cross-Channel migration was pivotal in the recent U.K. general election, which saw Keir Starmer become prime minister after Labour’s victory. French maritime authorities confirmed an inflatable boat carrying 40 to 50 migrants was monitored by French patrols on Wednesday morning.

The overcrowded inflatable had people crammed side-by-side with some dangling their legs overboard. French patrol vessels were on standby to assist if needed, underscoring the ongoing risks and challenges of these perilous crossings.

TRAGIC Migrant RESCUE in English Channel Exposes Border Crisis

13 July 2024 — Around 60 migrants were rescued by the French navy and coastguard from a capsized inflatable boat near Boulogne-sur-Mer. Four migrants were found unresponsive and could not be revived. The rescue operation is ongoing, with concerns that more victims may still be in the water.

The migrant crisis on Britain’s southern shore remains unresolved, contributing to the downfall of the previous British government. The new Labour government has promised action but has yet to deliver any meaningful results.

Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, criticized the new government for its inaction following the recent deaths in the Channel. He warned that he would hold them accountable just as he did with their predecessors.

People smugglers continue to exploit desperate migrants, leading to overcrowded and dangerous crossings. This year alone, 19 people have died attempting to cross the English Channel, while 14,000 have successfully made it across — a nearly 20% increase from last year.

According to Missions In Haiti, the attack occurred during a youth group gathering at church. The gang ambushed them with three trucks full of men. “Davy was taken to the house tied up and beat,” stated the nonprofit.

Rep. Baker urged for prayers for both his family and the Lloyd family during this devastating time. He expressed an overwhelming sense of loss and pain over social media, asking for strength from their community of supporters.

HORRIFIC London Sword Attack CLAIMS Young Life

30 April 2024 — A 14-year-old boy has tragically died following a sword attack in East London. Chief Superintendent Stuart Bell announced the boy’s death, stating he was stabbed and passed away after urgent hospitalization. The family is currently being supported through this harrowing period.

In addition to the fatal attack on the young boy, two police officers and two civilians were also injured during the incident.

US Families LEFT In AGONY: Stalled Negotiations for Hamas Hostages Cause Heartbreak

04 April 2024 — Half a year has passed since the chilling Hamas terror attack in southern Israel. American families are voicing their frustration over the stalemate in mediation talks. Their loved ones were abducted from a music festival near Gaza’s border, and they believe political agendas are overshadowing the urgency to save lives.

Rachel Goldberg-Polin, whose son Hersh, a 23-year-old hostage, is among those captured, opened up about her family’s daily ordeal to Fox News Digital. She painted a vivid picture of their unending trauma and relentless efforts to bring their family member back home.

The last communication Goldberg-Polin received from her son was just before he fell into the hands of terrorists. Despite no updates on his condition or whereabouts since his capture, she clings onto hope that negotiators will shift focus from politics to people’s lives.

The video footage showing Hersh’s injury and subsequent imprisonment has only deepened the family’s pain. They continue to grapple with what Goldberg-Polin terms an “ambiguous trauma”, as they anxiously await any news about their loved ones.

BRITISH TRADER’S Appeal Crushed: Libor Conviction Stands Strong

28 March 2024 — Tom Hayes, a former financial trader for Citigroup and UBS, has been unsuccessful in his attempt to overturn his conviction. This 44-year-old Brit was convicted in 2015 for manipulating the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) from 2006 to 2010. His case marked the first-ever conviction of this kind.

Hayes served half of an 11-year sentence and was released in 2021. Despite asserting his innocence throughout, he faced another conviction by a U.S court in 2016.

Carlo Palombo, another trader implicated in similar manipulations with Euribor, also sought appeal through the U.K.'s Court of Appeal via the Criminal Cases Review Commission. However, after a three-day hearing earlier this month, both appeals were dismissed without success.

The Serious Fraud Office remained resolute against these appeals stating: “No one is above the law and the court has recognized that these convictions stand firm.” This decision comes on the heels of a contrasting verdict from a U.S court last year which reversed similar convictions of two former Deutsche Bank traders.

UN Chief PLEADS for US Aid to Gaza Despite HAMAS Controversy

28 January 2024 — Antonio Guterres, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, has called on the United States and other countries to continue funding for the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). The UNRWA is a crucial aid organization in Gaza. This plea comes even as Israel accuses several UNRWA employees of participating in a Hamas attack that sparked a war and created deadly instability throughout the Middle East.

President Joe Biden recently reported the first U.S. military casualties in this region since hostilities began, blaming them on drone strikes by Iran-backed militias near Jordan’s border with Syria. In parallel developments, U.S. officials are said to be close to reaching a cease-fire agreement that could halt two months of intense Israeli-Palestinian conflict which has reportedly taken over 26,000 Palestinian lives according to local health authorities.

Guterres cautioned that if funding is not resumed soon, UNRWA may have to cut back aid to more than 2 million Palestinians living in Gaza as early as February due to an escalating humanitarian crisis including potential starvation risks for one-fourth of its population. He stressed that while those implicated in alleged misconduct must face justice, it should not result in punishment for other humanitarian workers or obstruct aid delivery for desperate populations they serve.

Guterres confirmed nine out of twelve accused staff members were immediately dismissed while one was

IRAN’S Ruthless ACT: Woman Forced into Child Marriage Executed Despite Global Pleas

21 December 2023 — Samira Sabzian, an Iranian woman who was compelled into a child marriage and later incarcerated for her husband’s murder, was executed on Wednesday. This event occurred despite fervent pleas from international human rights groups for leniency. The execution was carried out in Ghezelhesar Prison according to reports from the Norway-based Iran Human Rights (IHRNGO).

Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam, Director of IHRNGO, referred to Sabzian as a victim of “gender apartheid, child marriage, and domestic violence.” He expressed strong criticism towards the Iranian regime’s management of the case.

Amiry-Moghaddam made it clear that Sabzian had become a target of an “inefficient and corrupt regime’s killing apparatus.” He demanded accountability from Ali Khamenei and other leaders within the Islamic Republic. Sabzian had spent ten years in prison following her arrest for her husband’s murder.

ISRAEL’S Warfare Crisis: Growing Pleas for Peace Amid Rising Civilian Deaths and Humanitarian Despair

18 December 2023 — Israel is grappling with escalating global demands for a ceasefire. This comes in the wake of a string of fatal shootings, including an accidental incident that claimed the lives of three Israeli hostages. The ongoing conflict in Gaza, now into its tenth week, has raised serious questions about Israel’s military actions. Despite the U.S.'s crucial military and diplomatic backing, Israel may face increased scrutiny during Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s imminent visit.

The brutal war has led to substantial civilian losses with thousands dead and vast areas of northern Gaza reduced to rubble. An estimated 1.9 million Palestinians, constituting nearly 90% of Gaza’s population, have been forced to flee southwards within the beleaguered territory. Struggling Palestinians are surviving on scant humanitarian aid while some are seen crowding around aid trucks at Egypt’s Rafah crossing point.

Even though Israel has permitted direct aid into Gaza for the first time since the war commenced, relief workers argue it falls short considering the magnitude of destruction. The U.N agency responsible for Palestinian refugees estimates over half of Gaza’s infrastructure lies in ruins due to this conflict.

Hamas TERROR Unleashed: Vulnerable ISRAELI Family’s Nightmare Amid Hostage Crisis

05 December 2023 — Eyal Barad and his family faced a chilling ordeal during a Hamas attack. Taking shelter in their safe room in Nir Oz, Israel, they were forced into silence as armed intruders prowled outside. The cries of Barad’s autistic daughter risked giving away their hiding place, pushing him to contemplate extreme measures for survival.

This incident unfolded on October 7th amidst the Israel-Gaza war. Hamas militants brutally killed and captured a significant portion of Nir Oz’s inhabitants. An examination of residents’ messages and security footage indicates that Hamas had intentionally aimed at civilians — a disturbing change in strategy that greatly impacted the war’s trajectory.

The recent liberation of Israeli hostages has cast fresh light on this frightful day. The lack of Israeli military presence coupled with the capture and killing of defenseless citizens highlighted Israel’s vulnerability. Over 100 Palestinian militants departed Nir Oz with approximately 80 residents — nearly half of all released Israelis and one-third of all hostages taken.

Today, Nir Oz symbolizes this vulnerability as over 30 residents are still presumed to be captives in Gaza. This unprecedented operation by Hamas underscores its new hostage
