U.S. Sentences Man for Assisting Chinese Repatriation Efforts

A real estate businessman has been sentenced to over a year in U.S. prison for helping Chinese authorities pressure an expatriate to return to China. Prosecutors state Quanzhong An participated in "Operation Fox Hunt" - described by Beijing as an initiative to pursue fugitives, but characterized by Washington as transnational repression targeting dissidents abroad. "Quanzhong An acted at the direction of the Chinese government to harass and intimidate individuals living on U.S. soil as part of a scheme to force their repatriation," said Brooklyn-based U.S. Attorney John Durham. China's embassy and consulate did not immediately respond to requests for comment. China has previously denied threatening its nationals in other countries. An, 58, a Chinese citizen with legal U.S. residency, received a 20-month sentence after pleading guilty to acting as an illegal foreign agent. He has already served seven months. His […]

Federal Workers Face Uncertainty After Court-Ordered Reinstatements

Raphael Garcia, a Department of Veterans Affairs analyst who was fired last month during President Donald Trump's initiative to reduce the federal workforce, learned this week of his reinstatement following orders from two federal judges. However, Garcia's professional uncertainty continues. Rather than returning to work, he has been placed on administrative leave while the Trump administration appeals the judge's rulings. Though verbally assured he'll receive back pay during his leave period, the tumultuous early days of Trump's second term have left Garcia skeptical. "I'll believe it when I see it," he told NBC News, noting he won't know if his salary has resumed until late March's pay period ends. Garcia is among 24,000 probationary federal workers caught in career uncertainty as Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency works to transform federal bureaucracy. These employees have experienced abrupt terminations and reinstatements, […]

President Appoints New Prime Minister Amid Economic and Migration Challenges

Tunisian President Kais Saied has dismissed Prime Minister Kamel Maddouri and appointed Sara Zaafarani as his replacement. The change comes as Tunisia faces economic difficulties and migration issues involving people from sub-Saharan Africa. Zaafarani, an engineer who HAS served as Minister of Equipment and Housing since 2021, will become Tunisia's third prime minister in less than two years. Her appointment follows Saied's growing dissatisfaction with his ministers. Last month, he also dismissed Finance Minister Sihem Boughdiri. During a meeting shown on the presidency's Facebook page, Saied called on Zaafarani to improve government coordination and address key challenges. Alongside her appointment, Salah Zouari was named Minister of Equipment. Tunisia's economy continues to struggle, with growth at just 1.4% over the past year and ongoing public finance issues. Shortages of essential goods including sugar, rice, and coffee have increased public frustration. At […]

What Made This Delta Flight FLIP UPSIDE DOWN in Toronto?

A preliminary report by the Transportation Safety Board of Canada reveals that the Delta Air Lines flight that crashed at Toronto's Pearson International Airport on February 17 was descending at a high rate of speed before its disastrous landing. The flight from Minneapolis, operated by Endeavor Air, had 80 people aboard (76 passengers and 4 crew members). Twenty-one people sustained injuries, with two reported as serious. The report released Thursday did not identify a cause for the crash. According to the report's second-by-second breakdown, 3.6 seconds before touchdown, the plane's descent rate increased significantly. A second later, the enhanced ground proximity warning system triggered a "sink rate" alert. Just 1.6 seconds before touchdown, the aircraft was "slightly below the glide slope" - the system guiding controlled descent to the runway. When the right main landing gear contacted the runway, it […]

Mass Kidnapping Horror – 50 Bus Passengers Vanish in Rebel Territory!

Armed individuals have abducted dozens of bus passengers traveling from Addis Ababa in Ethiopia's Oromia region. The incident occurred in Ali Doro, near the location where approximately 100 university students were kidnapped last July. Local media reports indicate the passengers were en route to Debre Markos in the Amhara region when armed men attacked, engaging in gunfire with local security forces. One source suggests multiple buses were targeted, resulting in at least one death and potentially 50 abductions. The Oromo Liberation Army (OLA), a rebel group operating in the area, states it is investigating the reported abductions. The OLA, which seeks self-determination for Ethiopia's Oromo ethnic group, was previously accused of similar kidnappings but denied involvement. The organization has been designated as a terrorist group by the federal parliament. The government has not yet commented on the incident, official responses […]

Senate Backs Rivers State Emergency, Sets Six-Month Review Timeline

The Nigerian Senate has endorsed the state of emergency in Rivers State, exercising its constitutional authority to address the ongoing political crisis. In a closed-door meeting Thursday, senators applied Section 305(2) of the 1999 Constitution, which allows the President to declare emergency rule when governance significantly breaks down. They directed President Bola Tinubu to conduct periodic reviews and consider ending the emergency within six months. The Senate also activated Section 11(4) of the Constitution, enabling the National Assembly to take over legislative responsibilities for Rivers State while elected officials remain suspended. Federal lawmakers will manage the state's legislative functions until stability returns. Additionally, senators announced a committee of prominent citizens to mediate between the conflicting political groups in Rivers, aiming to promote dialogue and permanently resolve the crisis. This decision follows the House of Representatives' earlier approval of the emergency […]

NASA Astronaut Returns Home After Extended Space Mission

NASA astronaut Barry 'Butch' Wilmore has returned to Earth after an unexpected nine-month stay on the International Space Station. His daughter, Daryn Wilmore, announced the news on TikTok, concluding her series "My Dad is Stuck in Space." What was initially planned as a one-week mission was extended to 286 days when Wilmore and fellow astronaut Suni Williams encountered technical issues with their Boeing Starliner spacecraft. The duo successfully splashed off Florida's coast at 5:57 p.m. ET on Tuesday. In her TikTok update, Daryn, wearing a Starliner t-shirt, shared plans for a low-key reunion, including making her father's favorite pecan pie and having a small gathering at her uncle's house.

Trump Forces Amtrak CEO’s Sudden Exit as Musk Eyes Railway Privatization

Amtrak CEO Stephen Gardner resigned immediately after more than four years leading the national passenger railroad, following pressure from the White House administration. Sources indicate the decision came at President Trump's request. Gardner stated he was stepping down to "ensure that Amtrak continues to enjoy the full faith and confidence of this administration." Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy emphasized the need to address safety and security concerns at Washington's Union Station, particularly regarding homelessness and crime affecting commuter safety. Meanwhile, presidential advisor Elon Musk has suggested privatizing the railroad. Despite previous attempts to reduce federal funding, Congress recently approved $2.42 billion for Amtrak through September 2024. The railroad has shown strong performance, with ridership exceeding pre-pandemic levels and reaching 32.8 million customer trips in 2023, a 15% increase. Passenger revenue grew 9% to $2.5 billion, while operating losses decreased 9% to […]

Russian Bomber Base Hit by Ukrainian Drones, Massive Explosion Reported

Ukrainian forces struck a major Russian strategic bomber airfield Thursday with drones, causing a powerful explosion and fire approximately 700 km from the war's front lines, according to officials from both countries. Reuters-verified videos captured an enormous blast radiating from the airfield, damaging nearby cottages. Russia's defense ministry reported intercepting 132 Ukrainian drones over Russian territory. The Engels base, dating to Soviet times, houses Russia's Tupolev Tu-160 nuclear-capable strategic bombers, unofficially known as "White Swans."
