Belfast Rap Group’s Comments Spark Political Firestorm

Belfast rap trio Kneecap has responded to criticism following controversial footage from past concerts, claiming their words have been "exploited and weaponized" out of context. The group faces condemnation from Downing Street and Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch after a video emerged appearing to show a member saying, "The only good Tory is a dead Tory. Kill your local MP" at a November 2023 concert. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer's spokesman called the comments "completely unacceptable," while Taoiseach Micheรกl Martin demanded the band clarify alleged statements supporting Hamas and Hezbollah. In a statement, band members rejected suggestions they would "incite violence against any MP". They claimed establishment figures were attempting to "manufacture moral hysteria" to "derail the real conversation" about Gaza. They denied supporting Hamas or Hezbollah and apologized to the families of murdered MPs Jo Cox and David Amess. British […]

Trump Calls on Putin to “STOP” After Deadly Attack on Kyiv

Russia launched a massive overnight strike against Kyiv, killing at least 12 people in what officials described as the largest attack on the Ukrainian capital this year. The assault prompted an unusual public rebuke from Donald Trump, who directly addressed the Russian president with "Vladimir, STOP!" The attack, which Trump called "not necessary" and "very bad timing" as he pursues peace negotiations, injured 90 people, damaged buildings, and ignited fires across the city. Rescue workers were still recovering bodies from the rubble more than 12 hours later. This strike comes at a critical juncture in Russia's war in Ukraine, which began with Moscow's full-scale invasion in 2022. Both Kyiv and Moscow are attempting to demonstrate to Trump that they are making progress toward his goal of a swift peace agreement. "I am not happy with the Russian strikes on Kyiv. […]

Trump Criticizes Zelenskyy as Ukraine Peace Talks Falter

President Donald Trump criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for allegedly impeding peace negotiations to end the war in Ukraine. In a Truth Social post, Trump described Zelenskyy's refusal to recognize Russia's annexation of Crimea as "very harmful" to achieving peace, claiming a deal was "very close." "It's inflammatory statements like Zelenskyy's that make it so difficult to settle this War," Trump wrote. Zelenskyy has consistently rejected ceding Crimea, which Russia illegally annexed in 2014. "There's nothing to discuss here," he stated at a recent media conference. "This is against our constitution." High-level negotiations aimed at pausing hostilities recently collapsed after Secretary of State Marco Rubio and special envoy Steve Witkoff withdrew from planned London talks, diminishing Kyiv's hopes for a short-term agreement. Despite this setback, President Trump's Ukraine envoy, Keith Kellogg, was still scheduled to meet with Ukrainian presidential chief […]

Belfast rap trio Kneecap have received death threats after displaying messages critical of Israel during their performance at the Coachella music festival on April 18, according to their manager. The bilingual band concluded their set at the second weekend of the California festival with three on-screen messages stating: "Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people," "It is being enabled by the US government, who arm and fund Israel despite their war crimes," and "F**k Israel. Free Palestine." The Irish rappers later posted on X, referencing "hundreds of violent Zionist threats." In an interview with RTร‰ Radio, the group's manager, Daniel Lambert, confirmed they had received death threats, noting that their nature would be "too severe" to describe on air.

Highland Park Parade Shooting Victims Share Impact Statements as Gunman Remains Absent

Survivors and witnesses of the 2022 Fourth of July parade mass shooting in Highland Park emotionally recounted their experiences at the gunman's sentencing hearing Wednesday, despite Robert "Bobby" E. Crimo III choosing not to attend. Crimo, 24, pleaded guilty last month to 69 counts, including 21 counts of murder, for the attack that killed seven people and wounded nearly 50 others at the July 4, 2022, parade approximately 30 miles outside Chicago. He faces mandatory life imprisonment without parole, as Illinois has abolished capital punishment. More than 10 survivors, victims' family members, first responders, and witnesses had prepared victim impact statements but were denied the opportunity to address Crimo directly after Lake County State's Attorney Eric Rinehart informed the court that the defendant had declined to attend his sentencing, opting to remain in jail. Lake County Judge Victoria Rossetti noted […]

U.S. Strike on Yemen Fuel Port Results in Dozens of Casualties, According to Houthi Media

U.S. strikes on a fuel port in Yemen killed at least 58 people, according to Houthi-run Al Masirah TV, marking one of the deadliest attacks since the United States began its military campaign against the Iran-backed militants. The United States has stated it will not cease the large-scale strikes that began last monthโ€”its most significant military operation in the Middle East since President Donald Trump took office in Januaryโ€”unless the Houthis stop their attacks on shipping in the Red Sea. Al Masirah TV reported that Thursday's strikes on the western fuel port of Ras Isa also resulted in 126 wounded. The U.S. military characterized the operation as an effort to cut off a fuel source for the Houthi militant group. When Reuters requested comment regarding the casualty figures reported by the Houthis and the U.S. military's estimate, U.S. Central Command […]

Judge Threatens Criminal Contempt Charges Against Trump Officials Over Deportations

A federal judge has indicated that Trump administration officials could face criminal contempt charges for allegedly violating his order to halt deportations of Venezuelan migrants accused of gang membership. U.S. District Judge James Boasberg in Washington found "probable cause" for criminal contempt charges, stating the administration showed "willful disregard" for his March 15 order that prohibited deporting alleged Venezuelan gang members to El Salvador under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act. Attorneys and relatives of many deportees claim they aren't gang members and were denied opportunities to challenge the government's allegations. The ruling represents the most significant judicial suggestion of potential punishment since President Trump returned to office on January 20, intensifying tensions between the judicial and executive branches. "It's a very strong rebuke to the administration and opens the door for further proceedings to determine who, in fact, disregarded the […]
