Elizabeth Holmes DELAYS Jail Sentence After WINNING Appeal
— Elizabeth Holmes, the founder of the fraudulent company Theranos, successfully appealed to delay her 11-year jail term. Her lawyers cited “numerous, inexplicable errors” in the decision, including references to charges for which the jury acquitted her.
In November, Holmes was sentenced to 11 years and three months after a Californian jury found her guilty of three counts of investor fraud and one count of conspiracy. However, the jury acquitted her of the patient fraud charges.
Holmes’s appeal was initially rejected earlier this month, with a judge telling the former Theranos CEO to report to prison on Thursday. However, that decision has now been reversed by the higher court that ruled in her favor.
The prosecutors will now have to respond to the motion by 3 May while Holmes remains free.
SHOCKING QUAKE Panic: Indonesia Braces For Deadly Tsunami
— A huge 8.7 earthquake rocked the coast of Sumatra, Indonesia, early this morning. The epicenter was about 150 kilometers southwest of Bengkulu at a depth of 35 kilometers. People across western Indonesia felt strong shaking and are now dealing with collapsed buildings, broken roads, and power outages.
Officials have issued tsunami warnings for the western coastlines of Sumatra and nearby areas. Locals are being told to move to higher ground right away as authorities warn that dangerous waves could hit soon.
Rescue teams are moving into affected zones while global aid groups get ready to help with disaster relief. The United Nations is calling for urgent support as early reports suggest the damage could be severe because so many people live along Indonesia’s coasts.
The earthquake was also felt in Malaysia and Singapore but not as strongly. Officials are still checking for injuries and damage while rescue efforts continue on the ground.
MINNESOTA’S Shocking GUN LAW: ATF Etrace Mandate Sparks Outrage
— Minnesota just passed a new law forcing police to trace every gun found at crime scenes using the federal ATF’s eTrace system. Departments must also share this data across the state. The law kicks in this summer and aims to make gun crime investigations more uniform.
The Minnesota Sheriffs’ Association is now working on updates and training for officers to follow these new rules. State officials claim that eTrace will help track where guns used in crimes come from, making it easier for police to connect the dots.
Big city departments like Minneapolis and St. Paul already use eTrace, sending gun info straight to the feds. Supporters argue that this gives police a clear way to find criminals who use firearms.
But many conservatives are raising red flags about more federal control over local policing. They say real solutions come from local action — not Washington mandates that could threaten Second Amendment rights and privacy.
APPLE’S $500 Billion Gamble Shocks Wall Street and Shakes UP American Jobs
— Apple just announced a huge $500 billion investment in the U.S. over the next four years. The plan includes a new factory in Houston focused on AI servers, hiring 20,000 workers, and opening a manufacturing academy in Michigan. CEO Tim Cook made this move after meeting with President Trump, showing Apple’s push toward more American-made products.
SynergyTech also made headlines by buying FinSecure for $5 billion. This is one of the biggest tech deals of 2025 so far and gives SynergyTech more power in AI and cybersecurity. Wall Street didn’t see this coming, and it could change how financial technology companies compete.
Meanwhile, First National Bank collapsed after massive withdrawals and poor management decisions. Federal regulators handed control to the FDIC on June 4th to stop things from getting worse. The bank’s failure has shaken trust across the Southeast and raised fresh doubts about banking safety.
These events are big news for American jobs, technology leadership, and financial security — key issues for conservative voters watching how economic policy is being handled right now.
TECH GIANT’S Bold Gamble Shocks Global Market
— A top tech company just revealed big plans to break into new markets. Their goal? To shake up the industry by launching cutting-edge AI, cloud, and cybersecurity products. This bold move could threaten the old leaders of tech.
The CEO says the company is all-in on innovation and hinted at major spending and new global partners. Some experts think this news will send the company’s stock soaring as investors jump in.
Still, not everyone is convinced this risky expansion will work out. Some analysts warn that taking on so much at once could backfire if things don’t go as planned.
This story is moving fast. Expect more updates soon as rivals react and we learn more about how far this tech giant will go to win.
LE PEN Shocker Stuns France as Trump Hints at Bold Third Term
— France is reeling after Marine Le Pen, leader of the National Rally, was found guilty of embezzling European Parliament funds. She faces a four-year sentence — two years suspended — and a five-year ban from politics. This ruling knocks her out of the 2027 presidential race and shakes up the French political scene.
Le Pen blasted the verdict as “political” and says she won’t leave public life quietly. The case is even more striking since it’s based on a law she once supported herself. Prosecutors wanted tougher penalties, but the court held back from their harshest demands.
Across the Atlantic, Donald Trump has sparked buzz by hinting at a possible third presidential run — even though term limits stand in his way. He claims there are “methods” to make it happen and insists he’s serious. His latest executive order on elections has stirred more debate as legal fights over election integrity heat up before 2026 midterms.
Meanwhile, America’s Supreme Court stopped officials from removing Venezuelan detainees under an old wartime law, with Justice Kavanaugh pushing for quick answers. Reports say Republican campaign teams are split over tariffs and strategy as another heated election cycle begins to take shape.;
DOMINICAN KILLER Captured: Heartbreaking NEW York Family Massacre Shocks Nation
— U.S. Marshals have caught Luis Francisco Soriano, a fugitive from the Dominican Republic, wanted for killing four family members in Irondequoit, New York. Two of the victims were children — just 2 and 4 years old. Soriano was found hiding in Puerto Rico after running from the law.
Police say Soriano and his brother murdered their own relatives on August 31, 2024. The family’s father was cousins with both suspects. When federal marshals closed in, Soriano tried to escape by boat to the Dominican Republic.
Wilmer Ocasio-Ibarra from the U.S. Marshals Service praised his team for their hard work. He said Americans should feel safer knowing this violent criminal will finally face justice.
This case is a strong reminder of why secure borders and tough law enforcement matter to keep families safe across America.
ISRAEL’S Heartbreaking Victory: Hostage Bodies Rescued From Hamas After Months of Pain
— Israel has recovered the bodies of Gadi Haggai and Judy Weinstein-Haggai, taken hostage in the brutal October 7 Hamas attack. The Israeli army and Shin Bet worked together in a special mission to bring their remains home. Prime Minister Netanyahu shared his sorrow, saying, “Our hearts ache for the most terrible loss.”
The couple was killed near Kibbutz Nir Oz when Hamas terrorists stormed across the border. That day, about 1,200 people were murdered and 251 kidnapped. In her last moments, Judy called emergency services to say she and her husband had been shot.
Hamas kept their bodies for months while Israel searched for answers. The rescue is a small comfort after so much pain and loss.
This tragedy highlights why Israel refuses to back down in its fight against Hamas in Gaza. Many families are still waiting for news about loved ones held by terrorists — a harsh reminder of what’s at stake in this ongoing war.
FIRST NATIONAL Bank Collapse Sends Shockwaves Through US Economy
— First National Bank, a top lender in the Southeast, went under last night after a rush of withdrawals and talk of poor management. Federal regulators took over this morning, handing control to the FDIC.
The failure has already shut down several branches and shaken investors. The Dow Jones dropped more than 400 points at the opening bell. Now, many fear other regional banks could be in trouble as panic spreads.
Officials from the Federal Reserve and FDIC are trying to calm everyone down. They say insured deposits are safe and promise quick action to steady things. Regulators are watching closely for signs that problems might spread to other banks.
This is one of the biggest bank failures since 2008 and puts America’s banking system under pressure during President Biden’s term. The situation is changing fast as leaders work to stop more damage and restore trust in U.S. banks.
UK AID SHOCK: Secret Report Exposes Gaza Money Flow to Hamas
— A secret UK government report shows officials knew British aid sent to Gaza could end up helping Hamas. The November 2022 document, uncovered by NGO Monitor, reveals a UNICEF cash program in Gaza worked with the Ministry of Social Development — an office tied to Hamas.
NGO Monitor said clearly: “UK Aid can be linked directly or indirectly with supporting the… authority in Gaza (Hamas), which is part of a banned group.” Even though UK officials deny it, critics say there are still big questions about who is watching where the money goes.
The report focused more on possible damage to the UK’s reputation than on breaking any laws. Anne Herzberg from NGO Monitor told Fox News Digital this wording matters and shows ongoing worries about how taxpayer money is used.
Many conservatives argue this proves foreign aid needs tougher checks. They say every dollar should be tracked so it doesn’t end up in dangerous hands.
UK AID SCANDAL: Secret Document Exposes Gaza Funds at Grave Risk of Reaching Hamas
— A secret UK government paper has come to light, showing officials knew British aid sent to Gaza could end up in the hands of Hamas. The document, from November 2022 and uncovered by NGO Monitor, lays out Britain’s humanitarian plans for the region.
One part points to a UNICEF cash program in Gaza that works with the Ministry of Social Development. NGO Monitor says this ministry is linked to Hamas, raising fears that UK taxpayer money might be helping a terror group.
The report also reveals British officials were worried about damage to their reputation if these links ever got out. Anne Herzberg from NGO Monitor told Fox News Digital this language is telling and shows bigger problems are still being ignored.
ISRAEL’S Bold Ceasefire Gamble: Hope Rises as Hamas Drags Feet on Hostage Deal
— Israel has agreed to a U.S.-backed plan for a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza. The deal offers a break from fighting, but only if Hamas releases nine living hostages at first and eventually returns 28 Israeli hostages, both alive and deceased. In exchange, Israel would free 125 Palestinian prisoners and return the remains of 180 Palestinians.
This agreement comes as violence continues and world leaders push for peace. U.S. officials have worked hard to get both sides talking again.
But Hamas has not fully accepted the terms yet. This raises doubts about whether they will actually release the hostages or keep stalling. An Israeli official said, “We are ready for peace if Hamas is serious.”
If everyone follows through, this could be a major step toward stability in the Middle East. For now, leaders are waiting to see if hope turns into real action — or more delays from Hamas.
UK AID SHOCK: Taxpayer Money at Risk of Funding Hamas
— A leaked UK government report has raised fears that British taxpayer money could be reaching Hamas through aid sent to Gaza. The November 2022 document, revealed by NGO Monitor, shows a UNICEF cash program in Gaza worked with the Ministry of Social Development — an office linked to Hamas leaders.
NGO Monitor says this means UK aid might be “linked directly or indirectly” to helping Hamas, which both Britain and the US call a terrorist group. The British consulate-general in Jerusalem reportedly called this a “reputational” risk but not a legal issue.
Anne Herzberg from NGO Monitor told Fox News Digital that officials seemed more worried about public image than stopping possible misuse. She says the words used in the document prove they knew there was danger but did not act.
UK officials deny any wrongdoing but have not answered every question from critics. Conservative voices are now calling for real transparency and strict checks on where foreign aid actually goes.
TRUMP’S 50% Steel Tarif Shock: America’s Powerful Comeback Rattles Global Markets
— President Trump has slapped a 50% tariff on imported steel and aluminum. He made the announcement at U.S. Steel’s Irvin Works in Pennsylvania, sending a clear message: America First is back in action.
Markets around the world took a hit after the news broke. Experts say prices could jump for companies that depend on foreign steel, which may lead to higher costs for everyday Americans.
The White House is getting ready for court fights over these tariffs. Some judges have questioned if the president has this much power over trade, making things even more uncertain.
At the same time, Japan is tightening its rules on cryptocurrency. Closer to home, federal agents stopped a migrant smuggling ring at our southern border — reminding us of the tough economic and security battles America still faces.
RETAIL GIANT’S Shocking Bankruptcy Sends Chill Through US Economy
— A major American retailer with over 1,000 stores has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The company is drowning in more than $4 billion of debt and saw sales drop by 35% this year alone.
This move puts thousands of jobs on the line and leaves suppliers worried as the business tries to reorganize under court orders. Experts say the fallout could shake up the entire retail industry.
“This is a wake-up call for brick-and-mortar businesses struggling against online giants,” one analyst said. Soaring inflation and changing shopping habits have made it even harder for traditional retailers to survive.
The bankruptcy highlights bigger problems in our economy, as families face rising prices and fewer job options in retail — a field many once thought was safe and steady work.
TRUMP’S Auto TAX Shock: Jaguar Land Rover Halts US Sales, Allies Stunned
— Jaguar Land Rover has stopped shipping cars to the United States after President Trump’s team put new tariffs on vehicles made in the UK. The US is Britain’s second-biggest car market, worth about £7.6 billion a year. This sudden pause could hurt the UK economy and shake up supply chains around the world.
Industry leaders warn these tariffs could backfire on Americans too. John Neill, head of Unipart, said they might “box out” American carmakers from global markets instead of saving jobs at home. Some experts say Chinese companies may swoop in as buyers hunt for cheaper cars.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer is now racing to talk with Washington and fix things fast. He says Britain does not want a trade war but will fight back if needed.
President Trump says these tariffs are meant to help American factories and protect workers here at home. But this bold move could strain ties with close allies and change how the auto industry works worldwide.
TURKEY’S Emergency Sparks Panic: Unrest and Economic Pain Rock the Nation
— Turkey’s leaders have declared a state of emergency as anger boils over in major cities. The Turkish lira has crashed, losing more than 15% of its value in just a month. Streets in Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir are packed with protesters while police ramp up their presence.
The government now holds new powers to arrest people without quick charges and limit public gatherings. Officials say these tough steps are needed to bring back order and fix the battered economy, which is suffering from high inflation and rising debt.
Opposition voices call the move a power grab meant to crush free speech. International groups are also raising alarms about Turkey’s shrinking freedoms under this emergency rule.
The Turkish stock market took a nosedive as investors pulled out fast. Protests rage on across several cities, leaving citizens uneasy about what comes next for their country — and for global markets watching closely.
ANCIENT SUTTON HOO Bucket Shocks Experts With Tragic Secret
— Archaeologists have finally cracked the case of a 1,500-year-old bucket found at Sutton Hoo, one of England’s most famous historic sites. The National Trust now says the Byzantine Bromeswell bucket was actually used as a cremation urn for an important person and their grave goods.
Researchers turned to CT scans and X-rays after finding the base of the artifact last summer. These high-tech tools helped them see inside without damaging it.
This discovery changes what we know about burial customs in pre-Norman Britain. It also proves that Sutton Hoo still has secrets left to uncover about early English history.
NYC CORRUPTION Scandal Shakes City Hall: Outrage Grows Over Secret Bribes
— A major CORRUPTION scandal is rocking New York City Hall. Federal agents are investigating a top city official accused of taking bribes from a construction company to hand out city contracts. The probe started after authorities found suspicious messages and money transfers.
Investigators say the official used fake companies and hidden bank accounts to cover up the kickbacks. Police have searched homes linked to the official and their close contacts. Witnesses are now being questioned as more evidence comes in.
This case has sent shockwaves through local politics, with many demanding tougher rules for how city contracts are given out. Legal experts warn that if charges stick, they could include corruption, conspiracy, and money laundering.
The scandal puts a spotlight on ongoing problems in Democrat-led cities like New York. As investigators dig deeper, public trust hangs in the balance — people want answers about just how far this scheme goes.
GERMAN PLANE Crash Horror: Two Dead as Fiery Wreck Shocks Border Town
— A small plane slammed into a home’s terrace in Korschenbroich, Germany, near the Dutch border on May 31. The crash sparked a fire and sent wreckage flying across the yard.
Police say two people died in the accident. They think one was likely the pilot, but they are still checking if the second victim was a passenger or someone on the ground.
Officials have not shared any details about what caused this deadly crash. Investigators are working as worried neighbors wait for answers.
TRAGIC ISRAELI Embassy Shooting Shakes DC: Deadly Attack Sparks Security Fears
— Two Israeli Embassy staff members were shot and killed outside a Jewish museum in Washington, D.C. on May 22, 2025. Police arrested a suspect at the scene and charged him with murder. The attack took place near an important site for the Jewish community.
This deadly shooting has sparked big concerns about safety and possible motives. Investigators are working to find out if this was a targeted attack or part of something bigger.
Leaders are demanding quick justice and stronger security at diplomatic sites across America. Officials promise more updates as they learn new details.
The killings have stunned people in D.C. and across the nation, showing just how real security threats remain in our cities today.
SALESFORCE’S SHOCKING AI Gamble: American Jobs on the Line
— Salesforce, run by left-leaning CEO Marc Benioff, is cutting back on hiring as artificial intelligence takes over more work. The company’s finance chief said new AI tools mean they need fewer workers, especially in customer service and software jobs. This year alone, 500 customer service staff will be moved to other positions, saving Salesforce $50 million.
AI is now starting to replace software engineers at Salesforce and other tech giants too. Microsoft and Google leaders admit that AI creates up to 30% of new code in some projects. That means fewer jobs for American engineers.
Even with these changes, Salesforce says it will grow its sales team by 22% this year. The company has about 76,500 employees but is shifting focus toward roles that support its growing use of artificial intelligence.
This trend shows Big Tech isn’t just using AI for innovation — they’re also using it to cut costs and reshape their workforce. Sadly, that often means fewer good-paying jobs for Americans.
FEDERAL RESERVE’S Bold Rate Hike Stuns Wall Street, Sparks Fears for Everyday Americans
— Wall Street was rocked when the FEDERAL RESERVE raised interest rates by 0.75% to 5.25%. Inflation is stuck at 6.8%, and this surprise move sent the S&P 500 down by 2.5% in one day. Bond yields jumped, and the dollar shot up as investors scrambled to react.
Fed Chairman Jerome Powell said they had to act fast to keep inflation under control. He admitted that raising rates could slow down the economy but claimed it was needed for long-term stability.
This sharp rate hike shows the Fed is putting inflation control first — even if it means pain now for families and businesses. Borrowing money for homes, cars, or investments will get more expensive.
Some experts warn this could push America into a recession if it goes too far. Others say it’s a hard but necessary step after years of reckless government spending and easy money policies that hurt working people most.
TRUMP’S Bold BAN on Harvard Foreign Students Shocks Markets
— President Trump has blocked Harvard from accepting foreign students for the 2025-2026 school year. He accused the university of resisting needed oversight and having questionable links to China’s Communist Party. Secretary Kristi Noem backed the move, saying letting in international students is a “privilege, not a right,” especially when schools are accused of fueling violence or antisemitism.
Now, current international students at Harvard have to transfer or risk losing their legal status in America. The university says it will fight back in court and hopes to get a judge to pause the ban because there isn’t much time left before it takes effect.
At the same time, President Trump’s new tariffs — including a 25% tax on imported cars — have rattled Wall Street and global markets. Some experts warn about possible inflation and recession next year, but Trump adviser Stephen Miran says fears are overblown even as stocks fall and businesses worry about rising costs.
Despite criticism from economists and sliding stock prices around the world, President Trump stands his ground on trade policy. He isn’t worried about car prices going up for Americans, arguing these tough steps will help U.S.-made vehicles sell better than ever before.
CAPITAL SHOOTING Horror, Deadly JET Crash, and Supreme Court Shock on Immigration Rock America
— Two Israeli Embassy staffers were shot and killed outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. on May 21. Police say the suspect, Elias Rodriguez, confessed to the murders and is now in custody. Authorities are treating this as both a terror attack and a hate crime.
In San Diego, a private jet crashed into military housing during heavy fog early May 22. The crash killed several people on board and injured residents as flames tore through homes.
The Supreme Court handed down a major decision allowing the Trump administration to end Temporary Protected Status for about 350,000 Venezuelans. This could lead to mass deportations and signals a strong shift in immigration policy.
Meanwhile, legal fights continue over President Trump’s tariffs under emergency powers law. A recent court ruling backed the president’s authority but left questions about Congress’s role unanswered.
EUROPEAN UNION Slams Porn Sites: Outrage Grows Over Child Safety Failures
— The European Union is cracking down on major porn sites like Pornhub, Stripchat, XNXX, and XVideos. Officials say these websites are not doing enough to keep kids safe from adult content. The main concern is weak age checks that let minors slip through the cracks.
Regulators also claim the sites have failed to protect users’ privacy and have not done proper risk checks to stop harm to young people. If found guilty under the Digital Services Act, these companies could face huge fines — up to six percent of their yearly global income.
There’s no deadline for when this probe will end. The investigation could even widen as more evidence comes in.
In a separate move, the EU stripped Stripchat of its “Very Large Online Platform” status — a sign that Europe’s leaders are getting tough on Big Tech’s biggest players.
— Chicago Memorial Day weekend sees 22 shot, 2 dead. The city faces a surge in gun violence amid increased holiday activity.
— No new major world news reported outside UK and US. The current news timeline remains unchanged, with no recent breaking events.
— UK Legal Aid Agency Hit by Ransomware Cyber Attack The agency’s operations are disrupted, with sensitive data compromised, prompting urgent investigations and heightened alert for further malicious activity
Elizabeth Holmes STARTS 11-Year Prison Sentence at Texas Women’s Prison Camp
— Disgraced Theranos founder, Elizabeth Holmes, started serving her 11-year prison sentence in Bryan, Texas, for her role in the infamous blood-testing hoax. The Federal Bureau of Prisons reports that she entered the minimum-security women’s prison camp on Tuesday, which houses about 650 women deemed the lowest security risk.
Elizabeth Holmes Gets WEIRD New York Times Profile
— Elizabeth Holmes gave a series of interviews to the New York Times, revealing she has been volunteering for a rape crisis hotline and sharing her reflections on the mistakes she made with Theranos. It’s the first time she has spoken to the media since 2016, this time without her trademark baritone voice, and she hinted at future ambitions in health tech despite her criminal conviction.

TRUMP Drops SHOCK Ban: Harvard Blocked From Foreign Students Over “Anti-American” Actions
— The Trump administration just hit Harvard University with a stunning ban. Starting now, Harvard cannot enroll foreign students for the 2025-2026 school year. This means thousands of international students must transfer or risk losing their legal status in America.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said this move sends a strong message. She claims universities like Harvard must follow federal rules and stop spreading anti-American ideas. The administration says Harvard failed to report properly and allowed violence, antisemitism, and links to China’s Communist Party on campus.
Harvard leaders fired back fast. President Alan Garber called the ban illegal payback and defended academic freedom. He argued that private schools should decide what they teach and who they admit — not the government.
Legal battles are coming soon as Harvard has only 72 hours to comply. The Trump team also warned it could cut federal grants unless Harvard drops DEI programs and bans masks on campus, showing it’s serious about changing higher education in America.
