HARVARD Student’s BRAVE Stand Against Antisemitism at RNC
— Shabbos Kestenbaum, a Harvard student, spoke at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee about the antisemitism he faced on campus. He revealed that anti-Israel and anti-American students openly called for Hamas-style attacks against the U.S., with no action from Harvard’s administration.
Kestenbaum criticized Harvard for not condemning Hamas’s atrocities, including the murder of 45 American citizens and taking 12 hostages on October 7. Once a Bernie Sanders supporter, he now believes the far-left has abandoned both Jewish and American people.
He declared that the Democratic Party is ideologically poisoned and that this poison has spread to America’s youth. Kestenbaum expressed his support for President Trump’s policies to expel foreign students who violate laws and harass Jewish classmates, receiving cheers from the audience.
GLOBAL Elections SHAKE-UP: Major Voter Impact in Coming Days
— In the coming days, voters in countries like Mauritania, Mongolia, Iran, Britain, and France will head to the polls. These elections could significantly impact global politics amid ongoing conflicts and economic concerns.
Iran faces a critical election following the death of President Ebrahim Raisi. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei seeks a successor among hard-liners Saeed Jalili and Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, and reformist Masoud Pezeshkian.
National elections this year are happening in over 50 countries with significant political changes in India, Mexico, and South Africa. Russia remains unchanged despite global shifts.
Biden’s BORDER Policy SHOCKS Americans: Crime Rates Soar
— President Biden’s border policy has led to a surge in illegal crossings. Many Americans are worried about the rising crime rates linked to this influx. Local communities are feeling the impact, and some residents say they no longer feel safe in their own neighborhoods.
Critics argue that Biden’s approach is too lenient and lacks proper enforcement. They believe this has encouraged more people to cross illegally, putting a strain on resources and law enforcement.
Supporters of stricter border control point out that crime rates have increased in areas with high numbers of illegal immigrants. They call for immediate action to secure the border and protect American citizens from further harm.
The debate over immigration policy continues, but one thing is clear: many Americans are deeply concerned about their safety and the future of their communities under current policies.
CONGRESSMAN’S Staffer Attacked in DC Crime Surge
— Early this morning, three men tried to rob one of Rep. Mike Collins’s staffers and a friend at gunpoint in Navy Yard. The attackers took a watch, but one of them was punched in the face by the victims.
Collins criticized D.C.’s government for its “pro-criminal policies,” claiming they have turned the nation’s capital into a warzone. He expressed relief that both young men were safe after fending off the assailants.
ISRAEL RESCUES Hostages: Dramatic Operation Against Hamas
— The Israel Defense Forces (IDF), Israel Police, and Israel Security Agency (ISA) successfully rescued four hostages from Gaza. The hostages include Noa Argamani, Almog Meir Jan, Andrey Kozlov, and Shlomi Ziv.
The rescue operation targeted two Hamas buildings above ground. Noa Argamani’s abduction had become a symbol of the October 7 Hamas terror attack, with footage of her kidnapping widely circulated.
The IDF shared a video showing the dramatic moment they freed three of the four hostages. This successful mission underscores Israel’s commitment to bringing its citizens home safely from terrorist captivity.
UKRAINE DEFENDS Against Russian Onslaught in Kharkiv
— Ukrainian troops fought off a Russian military attack in Kharkiv. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described the conflict as intense, with Russia using missiles, drones, and artillery. The White House stands firmly behind Ukraine’s ability to endure these attacks.
Russian military sources said they aimed at Ukrainian ammo depots and troops. Yet, Kharkiv’s regional leader, Oleh Syniehubov, confirmed that his forces kept control of all territory. He noted that Russian scouts tried to enter Ukraine but were pushed back successfully.
The European Union is thinking about using money from frozen Russian assets to help Ukraine during this tough time. This plan would strengthen Ukrainian defenses and aid their recovery as the situation worsens in the area.
This move by the EU could provide crucial support for Ukraine while also putting additional pressure on Russia by targeting its financial resources.
UK’S RECORD Military Aid to UKRAINE: A Bold Stand Against Russian Aggression
— Britain has unveiled its largest military aid package for Ukraine, totaling £500 million. This significant boost raises the UK’s total support to £3 billion for the current financial year. The comprehensive package includes 60 boats, 400 vehicles, over 1,600 missiles, and nearly four million rounds of ammunition.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak stressed the critical role of supporting Ukraine in Europe’s security landscape. “Defending Ukraine against Russia’s brutal ambitions is crucial not just for their sovereignty but also for the safety of all European nations,” Sunak remarked before his discussions with European leaders and NATO’s chief. He cautioned that a victory for Putin could pose threats to NATO territories as well.
Defence Secretary Grant Shapps emphasized how this unprecedented aid would bolster Ukraine’s defense capabilities against Russian advances. “This record package will equip President Zelenskiy and his courageous nation with essential resources to repel Putin and bring back peace and stability to Europe,” stated Shapps, reaffirming Britain’s dedication to its NATO allies and European security overall.
Shapps further underscored Britain’s unwavering commitment to support its allies by enhancing Ukraine’s military strength which is vital in maintaining regional stability and deterring future aggression from Russia.
UK Government STRIKES BACK Against Post Office Injustice: Here’s What You Need to Know
— The UK government has taken a significant stride towards rectifying one of the country’s most egregious miscarriages of justice. A new law introduced on Wednesday aims to overturn the wrongful convictions of hundreds of Post Office branch managers across England and Wales.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak emphasized that this legislation is vital for “finally clearing” the names of those unjustly convicted due to a flawed computer accounting system, known as Horizon. The victims, whose lives were drastically affected by this scandal, have experienced prolonged delays in receiving compensation.
Under the anticipated law, expected to be enacted by summer, convictions will be automatically overturned if they meet certain criteria. These include cases initiated by the state-owned Post Office or Crown Prosecution Service and offenses committed between 1996 and 2018 using the faulty Horizon software.
More than 700 subpostmasters were prosecuted and criminally convicted between 1999 and 2015 due to this software glitch. Those with overturned convictions will receive an interim payment with an option for a final offer of £600,000 ($760,000). Enhanced financial compensation will be provided to those who suffered financially but weren’t convicted.
Biden WARNED: Israeli Defense Leaders URGE Against Recognizing Palestinian State
— A group of Israeli defense and security leaders have issued a stern warning to President Biden. Their message is clear — do not recognize a Palestinian state. They believe this move could endanger Israel’s existence and indirectly support regimes known for sponsoring terrorism, such as Iran and Russia.
The Israel Defense and Security Forum (IDSF) sent this urgent letter on February 19th. They caution that recognizing Palestine would be interpreted as rewarding violent actions by Hamas, global terrorist organizations, Iran, and other rogue states.
Brigadier General Amir Avivi, founder of the IDSF, spoke to Fox News Digital about the situation. He stressed that it’s crucial for the U.S., at this juncture, to stand by its key ally in the Middle East and uphold American interests in the region.
In a rare display of consensus on Wednesday, Israel’s Knesset (parliament) unanimously dismissed foreign pressures to single-handedly recognize a Palestinian state.
DEFEAT for Disney: Court TOSSES Lawsuit Against Governor DeSantis
— On Wednesday, a significant legal victory was scored by Governor DeSantis and his administration. The court dismissed a lawsuit brought by Disney, asserting that the entertainment giant lacked the necessary standing to sue.
The basis for dismissal centered on Disney’s inability to demonstrate any imminent harm or injury directly linked to actions taken by either the Secretary or governor.
While the court acknowledged that Disney could potentially bring a case against members of the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District (CTFOD), it was determined that even then, they would not prevail.
The case in question, Walt Disney Parks & Resorts v. DeSantis (No. 4:23-cv-163), took place in the U.S. District Court for Northern Florida.
From BETTING FRENZY to Prison: Andy May’s £13M Gamble and His Fight Against Addiction
— Andy May, once a finance manager from Norfolk, squandered his family’s house deposit in a gambling frenzy. After seven years of abstinence from betting, the allure of a “free bet” during the 2014 World Cup lured him back into the destructive habit.
May’s addiction spiraled out of control as he misused his company credit card to gamble away £1.3 million. This reckless act led him straight to prison. Now released after two years, he has teamed up with GambleAware to share his cautionary tale and raise awareness about gambling addiction.
During his four-and-a-half-year betting spree, May wagered on everything conceivable. He even resorted to paying off personal credit card debts using company funds. His illicit activities eventually caught up with him in 2019 when he was found guilty of stealing over £1.3 million from his employer.
Despite losing his job and deceiving his family about it, May confesses that he might be tempted by gambling again but fights daily against this urge. He underscores that no amount of potential winnings could enhance his life while everything is
EXTREME Hate Speech: Neo-Nazi Podcasters PAY the Price for Threats Against Prince Harry and Family
— In a recent ruling, a London court has handed down sentences to two neo-Nazi podcasters. The charges? Inciting violence against Prince Harry and his young son. The culprits, Christopher Gibbons and Tyrone Patten-Walsh, are the hosts of “Lone Wolf Radio”. According to the sentencing judge, these men are “dedicated and unapologetic white supremacists”.
Gibbons, aged 40, was dealt an eight-year prison sentence. His co-host Patten-Walsh, 34 years old, received seven years behind bars. Following their prison terms, both men will be under probation for three years. Their podcast was a platform for spreading racist views along with antisemitic, Islamophobic, homophobic and misogynistic ideologies.
The duo didn’t just stop at propagating hate speech; they encouraged violent acts against ethnic minorities as well as individuals in interracial relationships whom they labeled as “race traitors”. Prince Harry’s wife Meghan Markle happens to be biracial. In one shocking episode of their show Gibbons even suggested that Prince Harry should face prosecution for treason while his son Archie was dehumanized as a “creature” that should be euthanized.
KHAN’S SHOCKING Claim: Mobile Phone Thefts Fuel London’s Knife Crime Surge
— London Mayor Sadiq Khan has drawn sharp criticism for linking the city’s surge in knife crime to mobile phone thefts. In a recent Sky News interview, Khan argued that despite a decrease in knife crime rates, the issue of mobile phone robberies remains significant.
Khan compared the situation with efforts made by car manufacturers to curb stereo and GPS thefts. He stated, “The biggest personal robbery is of mobile phones.” When probed about the connection between these thefts and knife crimes, he simply responded, "That’s because they try to steal the mobile phones.”
This explanation sparked outrage online. Following the interview, commentator Lee Harris posted: "After a few easy questions about #NewYear2024, Sadiq Khan gets grilled on his failure to address the alarming rise in knife and gun crime in London under his leadership. Even Sky News seems fed up with him! I don’t think he saw that coming.”
Khan’s controversial comments have added fuel to an already heated debate on how best to tackle London’s persistent issue of violent crime.
PASSPORT PANIC: Zimbabweans Race Against Time Amid Looming Price Hike Fear
— In Zimbabwe, currently grappling with economic woes, the most sought-after Christmas gift isn’t a gadget or toy, but a passport. The capital city’s passport office in Harare is teeming with citizens hoping to secure their travel documents before an expected price surge in the New Year. The looming increase and deteriorating economic conditions are driving a spike in migration.
Nolan Mukona, a 49-year-old father of three, was among those who rose at dawn to join the queue at the passport office. Despite his early start, he was greeted by over 100 people already waiting when he arrived at 5 a.m. “The only thing that can make my Christmas cheerful is if I manage to get a passport,” Mukona shared.
At present, passports cost $120 — an amount already burdensome for many Zimbabweans struggling to meet basic needs. However, according to 2024 budget proposals from the finance minister, these fees will rise to $150 in January — reduced from an initially proposed $200 after public backlash.
Over recent decades, millions of Zimbabweans have fled their homeland due to its crumbling economy. This exodus has accelerated recently as optimism for improvement following Robert Mugabe’s ousting from power in 2017 continues to wane.
Turkish MP COLLAPSES Amid Fiery Denouncement of Israel’s Actions Against Hamas
— In a dramatic turn of events, Bitmez, the Deputy Chief of Turkey’s Saadet Party, collapsed during a budgetary debate in the Grand Assembly of the Turkish parliament. His collapse followed an impassioned criticism of Israel’s military response to Hamas terrorists in Gaza. Bitmez accused Israelis of committing “crimes against humanity” and “ethnic cleansing.” His final words before collapsing were reportedly, “Israel will not escape the wrath of Allah!”
Bitmez, aged 54 and a diabetic patient, was immediately rushed to Ankara’s Bilkent City Hospital. He was reported to be in critical condition following his sudden collapse.
The Saadet or “Felicity” Party that Bitmez is affiliated with is known for its Islamist ideology. It’s considered more hardline than President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s ruling Justice and Development (AKP) party. This incident comes at a time when relations between Turkey and Israel are tense due to Israel’s counter-terrorist operation in Gaza initiated after an attack by Hamas on October 7.
Erdogan has openly criticized Israel’s military actions while hailing Hamas
Norwegian Tanker UNDER SIEGE: Houthi’s Shocking Protest Against Israel
— The Houthi movement in Yemen, an ally of Iran, announced on Tuesday that they targeted a Norwegian oil and chemical tanker with a rocket. This recent attack is their latest form of protest against Israel’s actions in Gaza. The ship, Strinda, was hit after its crew “ignored all warning calls,” said Houthi military spokesperson Yehia Sareea.
Sareea also stated that the Houthis will continue to disrupt ships heading towards Israeli ports. Their demand? They want Israel to permit the entry of food and medical supplies into the Gaza Strip — over 1,000 miles away from their stronghold in Sanaa.
The attack on Strinda took place about 60 nautical miles north of the Bab al-Mandab Strait — an essential sea lane for global oil shipments. The U.S. military’s Central Command confirmed on Tuesday that an anti-ship cruise missile “launched from a Houthi-controlled area of Yemen” struck the Strinda.
ISRAEL-HAMAS Conflict: The Rising Tensions and Shocking Russian War Crime Probes
— Defense reporter Mike Brest from the Washington Examiner recently delved into the intensifying Israel-Hamas conflict. He sat down with Magazine Executive Editor Jim Antle to discuss this escalating issue, which has seen a worrying increase in casualties in Gaza.
Brest didn’t stop there; he also shed light on ongoing investigations into potential Russian war crimes in Ukraine. This new development brings an added layer of complexity to an already strained global situation.
The persistent conflict between Israel and Hamas, along with Russia’s alleged misdeeds, is stirring unease across the globe. As these situations continue to evolve, they promise to have profound impacts on international relations and worldwide stability.
USS MASON Bravely Defends Against Pirate Attack and Dodges Yemeni Missiles: A New Threat on the Horizon?
— In a daring act of valor, the USS Mason responded to a distress call from commercial vessel M/V Central Park. The Mason successfully defended against an attack by five armed pirates. After attempting to flee, the pirates were pursued and apprehended by the Mason’s crew. The Pentagon has suggested that these pirates are likely of Somali origin, not Houthi.
As the rescue operation was winding down, two ballistic missiles were launched from areas in Yemen under Houthi control. These missiles landed approximately 10 nautical miles away from both the USS Mason and M/V Central Park. Fortunately, no damage or injuries have been reported.
This missile attack could signify an escalation of aggression by Iran-backed forces towards U.S. assets in this region. While there has been a recent increase in drone and missile attacks on U.S bases and troops stationed in Iraq and Syria by Iran-backed groups, this marks a new development with ballistic missiles being directed at U.S ships.
The vessel under attack, M/V Central Park flies under Liberia’s flag but is managed by an Israeli firm owned by Israel’s Ofer
MASSIVE Stand Against ANTISEMITISM: Boris Johnson Joins Thousands in Historic London March
— On Sunday, an unprecedented number of people, including former U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson, took to the streets of London to protest against antisemitism. The march was strategically organized a day after a large pro-Palestinian rally and amidst rising tensions due to the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza. Organizers hailed it as the most significant demonstration against antisemitism in nearly a century.
The crowd was a sea of Israeli flags and Union Jacks, with participants bearing powerful placards like “Never Again Is Now” and “Zero Tolerance for Antisemites.” Alongside Johnson, U.K. Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis and other high-ranking government officials marched in unity with the Jewish community.
Notably detained at the event was Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, better known as Tommy Robinson, former leader of the far-right English Defence League. Earlier this month, Robinson had an altercation with police during an Armistice Day march in London after refusing to leave despite warnings that his presence could distress others.
Among those marching was 75-year-old Malcolm Canning from London who voiced his concerns about current anti-Jewish sentiment. He expressed his alarm at how anything associated with Judaism feels under attack now and lamented reaching such a stage in this country.
WHITE HOUSE Pleads for Israel-Hamas Ceasefire: Netanyahu’s Firm Stand Against Unconditional Truce
— The White House is urging for temporary ceasefires in the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza. The goal is to facilitate aid delivery and ensure civilian safety. U.S. Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, put forth these proposals during a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last Friday.
Blinken believes that these negotiations could potentially lead to the release of hostages held by Hamas, currently estimated at 241 by Israel. Yet, Netanyahu has adamantly declared he won’t agree to a ceasefire without the prior liberation of these hostages.
Blinken views this strategy as an opportunity to deliver much-needed relief to those impacted by the conflict and foster an environment conducive for hostage release. However, he conceded that a pause doesn’t necessarily guarantee the ultimate freedom of the hostages.
While Blinken’s proposal targets humanitarian relief amidst rising tensions, it remains uncertain how this plan will be received or executed given Netanyahu’s steadfast opposition against any ceasefire without preconditions met.
NATWEST CEO Falls: ICO Rules Against Dame Alison Rose, NO More Actions Planned
— The Information Commissioners Office (ICO) has ruled against former NatWest CEO, Dame Alison Rose. She was found to have breached data laws in her dealings with Brexit leader Nigel Farage. However, since Rose has already stepped down from her role, the ICO plans no further action.
Rose twice broke data laws by sharing the bank’s decision to debank Farage with a reporter. She revealed sensitive personal financial details about Farage and gave misleading information about why his account was closed.
According to the ICO report, these actions violated Farage’s rights. But as Rose has resigned and NatWest is conducting its own investigation, the ICO doesn’t plan any additional regulatory action at this time.
Despite potential hefty payouts from NatWest in coming years, critics believe it would be inappropriate to reward Rose with a large sum due to her violations of Financial Conduct Authority code and data laws.
AMERICAN TEEN Freed: The Emotional Rollercoaster of a Family’s Fight Against Hamas Captivity
— Natalie Raanan, an American teenager, has been released after enduring two harrowing weeks as a hostage under Hamas in Gaza. Her father, Uri Raanan from Illinois, confirmed the news of her freedom and reassured that she is recovering well. The announcement sparked an outpouring of relief and joy within the family who had spent anxious hours praying for Natalie’s safe return.
Uri Raanan expressed his overwhelming relief and joy at the thought of his daughter being home in time to celebrate her upcoming 18th birthday. Before her abduction, Natalie and her brother Ben had made plans to get matching tattoos as a symbol of their bond on this special day. In a heartfelt tribute during her absence, Ben got a tattoo that intertwined their names.
The family’s group text message thread turned from cautious optimism to jubilant celebration upon receiving the news about Natalie’s release. Despite their happiness, they remain conscious that other families continue to live under the shadow of fear for their captive loved ones.
TEXAS Teen BANISHED to Alternative School Over Dreadlocks: Is This a Crown Act Injustice?
— Darryl George, an 18-year-old junior at Barbers Hill High School in Texas, was reassigned to an alternative education program following a month-long in-school suspension. The cause? His dreadlocks. George has been serving his suspension since August 31 and is scheduled to attend the EPIC program from October 12 through November 29. The school’s principal attributed his removal to George’s “non-compliance” with various campus and classroom rules.
The school district enforces a dress code that restricts male students from having hair longer than their eyebrows, ear lobes or the top of their T-shirt collar. It also mandates that all students maintain clean, well-groomed hair of natural color and shape. Despite this code, George’s family contends that his hairstyle does not infringe upon these rules.
In retaliation against the disciplinary action imposed on George, his family lodged a formal complaint with the Texas Education Agency last month and initiated a federal civil rights lawsuit against the state governor and attorney general. They argue that these measures breach Texas’ CROWN Act — legislation designed to outlaw race-based hair discrimination — which came into force on September 1st.
STOLTENBERG’S Pledge: NATO Commits a Whopping $25 Billion in Ammunition to UKraine Amid Russian Tensions
— NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy convened on Thursday, amid rising tensions with Russia. Their meeting came on the heels of Russia’s allegations that Ukraine’s Western allies aided in a recent missile strike on the Black Sea Fleet’s base in Crimea.
Zelenskyy shared that Stoltenberg has committed to helping Ukraine secure more air defense systems. These are vital for safeguarding the nation’s power plants and energy infrastructure, which took a heavy hit during Russia’s aggressive attacks last winter.
Stoltenberg unveiled NATO contracts totaling 2.4 billion euros ($2.5 billion) for ammunition supplies destined for Ukraine, including Howitzer shells and anti-tank guided missiles. He stressed, “The stronger Ukraine becomes, the closer we get to halting Russia’s aggression.”
On Wednesday, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova alleged that resources from the U.S., U.K., and NATO facilitated the attack on their Black Sea Fleet headquarters. Yet these claims remain unbacked by concrete evidence.
UK’S BIG Green Light to NORTH SEA OIL Drilling: A Jobs Boost or an Environmental Nightmare?
— The UK’s North Sea Transition Authority recently approved new oil and gas drilling in the North Sea. This move has triggered a wave of criticism from environmentalists, who argue it contradicts the country’s climate objectives.
The Conservative government stands by its decision, stating that drilling in the Rosebank field will not only create jobs but also bolster energy security. Rosebank is one of the largest untapped reserves in UK waters and is believed to contain around 350 million barrels of oil.
Equinor, a Norwegian company, and Ithaca Energy based in the UK oversee operations at this field. They have plans to inject $3.8 billion into the project’s initial phase, with production anticipated to kick off between 2026 and 2027.
Caroline Lucas, a Green Party lawmaker, harshly criticised this decision as “morally obscene.” In response, the government maintains that projects like Rosebank will produce significantly less emissions compared to past developments.
Chris PACKHAM’S RADICAL Call to Break the Law: Is It Justified or a Threat to Democracy?
— 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.
UK’S SILENT Treatment Over Jailed Hong Kong Activist Jimmy Lai: A Shameful Betrayal?
— Sebastien Lai, son of the imprisoned Hong Kong media tycoon and pro-democracy advocate, Jimmy Lai, has publicly expressed disappointment at the UK government for its apparent indifference. His father, a British citizen and founder of the now-closed pro-democracy newspaper Apple Daily, has been held captive since 2020 under Beijing’s national security law. If convicted, senior Lai could face life in prison. He has already been handed a separate sentence of five years and nine months.
Originally set to begin last December, the trial has experienced multiple delays by court officials. It is now slated to kick off on Dec. 18th. Sebastien Lai and his legal representatives have labeled this case as a “show trial.” They suggest that Hong Kong authorities might prolong the trial due to their weak case against Lai and their desire to prevent him from expressing his views during an expected public hearing that could last two or three months.
Sebastien also criticized Britain’s government for its mild language in condemning his father’s extended detention period. He described the UK’s stance towards China as inconsistent — with some officials decrying Beijing’s human rights record while others prioritize preserving China as a trade partner over human rights issues.
America’s BORDER CRISIS: A Deep Dive into Biden’s Disastrous Immigration Policies
— The ongoing border crisis in America is a direct result of President Biden’s disastrous immigration policies. His decisions have led to an unprecedented influx of illegal immigrants, putting immense strain on border patrol agents and local communities.
President Biden reversed many of Trump’s strict immigration policies upon taking office. This has resulted in a surge of migrants attempting to cross the border illegally, with numbers reaching their highest levels in over two decades.
Local communities near the border are feeling the impact. Schools are overwhelmed, crime rates are rising, and public resources are stretched thin. Yet, the administration seems indifferent to their plight.
Biden’s approach to immigration is not just flawed; it’s catastrophic. It undermines national security and disregards the rule of law. It’s time for America to wake up and hold him accountable for this crisis.
US, UK UNVEIL ‘20 Days in Mariupol’ to the WORLD: A Shocking Expose of Russia’s Invasion
— 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
Morocco’s DEADLIEST Earthquake in a Century: OVER 2,000 Lives Lost and Rising
— Morocco has been hit by its most powerful earthquake in 120 years. The devastating 6.8 magnitude quake has resulted in over 2,000 fatalities and severe structural damage. With rescue efforts ongoing, the death toll is feared to increase as remote areas remain inaccessible.
The quake’s destructive force was felt nationwide, causing extensive damage to ancient cities and isolated villages alike. Remote communities such as those in the Ouargane Valley have been cut off from the rest of the world due to power outages and disrupted cell service. Residents are left grieving for their lost neighbors while assessing their own losses.
In Marrakech, residents are fearful of returning indoors due to potential building instability. Notable landmarks like the Koutoubia Mosque have sustained damage; however, the full extent is yet to be determined. Videos on social media show significant damage to parts of Marrakech’s iconic red walls that encircle the old city.
The Interior Ministry reports a death toll of at least 2,012 people mainly from Marrakech and nearby provinces close to the epicenter. Additionally, over 2,059 individuals were injured with more than half listed in critical condition.
INDIA’S G-20 Summit: A Golden Opportunity for US to Reclaim Global Supremacy
— India is preparing to host its inaugural G-20 summit in New Delhi on September 9. This important event gathers leaders from the world’s most powerful economies. These nations represent a staggering 85% of the world’s GDP, 75% of all international trade, and two-thirds of the global population.
Elaine Dezenski, a representative from the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, views this as a golden chance for America to reclaim its position as a global leader. She stressed the importance of fostering transparency, development and open trade rooted in democratic rules and principles.
Yet, Russia’s aggressive actions in Ukraine pose a significant challenge likely to cause division among attendees. Western nations supporting Ukraine may find themselves at odds with countries like India that maintain a more neutral stance. Jake Sullivan, National Security Advisor, underscored that Russia’s war has inflicted severe social and economic damage on less affluent countries.
Despite unanimous condemnation at last year’s Bali summit declaration over Ukraine’s situation, disagreements persist within the G-20 group.
UK Government LIFTS Wind Farm Restrictions: A Step Towards GREEN Future or Just Empty Promises?
— The UK’s Conservative government has relaxed planning rules, effectively lifting the ban on new onshore wind farms in England. These regulations, implemented by former Prime Minister David Cameron in 2015, permitted a single objection to halt wind turbine applications. This resulted in a notable decrease in new turbines getting planning approval.
Under pressure from some Conservatives, the current government decided to revise these rules. Alok Sharma, lawmaker and president of the 2021 U.N. climate change conference, dubbed them as “outdated” and “not sensible.” With these eased restrictions, local authorities can now make final decisions based on community consensus rather than individual objections.
Communities that support wind turbines stand to gain from lower electricity costs. However, specifics about energy discounts will be discussed later. Although this decision took immediate effect, it faced backlash from environmental groups who argue that too many hurdles still remain for constructing wind farms.
Environmental organization Greenpeace dismissed the changes as “feeble tweaks” and “just more hot air.” Alethea Warrington from climate advocacy group Possible expressed concerns that it would still be challenging for communities wanting wind energy to obtain it. Experts caution that there needs to be a swift increase in onshore wind energy production for the U.K. to meet its climate change targets.

Among the convictions, Letby was found guilty of seven counts of attempted murder, two involving the same baby.
Trump’s Election Interference Trial Set to COINCIDE with Pivotal Republican Primary Date
— Donald Trump’s election interference trial is slated to commence just before an important Republican primary date, as per recent court documents.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis proposed the 4 March start date, ensuring it doesn’t interfere with other ongoing cases against the former president. This overlap has sparked attention, given the critical timing in the Republican primaries.
INNOCENT Man Jailed for 17 Years: Former Solicitor General Calls for Inquiry
— Lord Edward Garnier KC has expressed deep concern over the miscarriage of justice that resulted in Andrew Malkinson’s 17-year imprisonment for a crime he didn’t commit.

LIBERTY UNIVERSITY Hit with Staggering $14M Fine: Campus Crime Cover-Up Exposed
— Liberty University, a Christian institution, has been slapped with an unprecedented $14 million fine by the U.S. Department of Education. The school failed to disclose crucial information about crimes on its campus, particularly concerning its handling of sexual assault survivors.
This penalty is the heaviest ever imposed under the Clery Act — a law that mandates federally funded colleges to collect and disseminate data on campus crime. Liberty University, often touted as one of the country’s safest campuses, is home to over 15,000 students in Lynchburg, Virginia.
Between 2016 and 2023, Liberty’s police department operated with only one officer investigating crimes and minimal oversight. The Department of Education uncovered numerous instances where crimes were either misclassified or underreported. This was particularly prevalent for sexual offenses such as rape and fondling.
In one shocking case spotlighted by investigators, a woman reported being raped but her case was dismissed by Liberty’s investigator based on her alleged “consent”. However, her statement revealed she had “given in” out of fear from the perpetrator.
