Joe Biden Battling Aggressive Cancer While Questions Surface About Hidden Health Issues

Joe Biden has expressed gratitude for worldwide support, including a private letter from Britain's King Charles, following his announcement of a cancer diagnosis. "Cancer touches us all," Biden shared on social media Monday. "Like so many of you, Jill and I have learned that we are strongest in the broken places. Thank you for lifting us with love and support." On Sunday, Biden's office revealed he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that has metastasized to his bones. "On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterised by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone," his office stated. "While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive, which allows for effective management." A Gleason score of nine classifies his illness as "high-grade," indicating cancer […]

Sean Combs Trial: Cassie Ventura Testifies About “Freak-Offs” as First Week Concludes

The opening week of Sean "Diddy" Combs' trial on sex-trafficking and racketeering charges centered on testimony from his former girlfriend, Casandra "Cassie" Ventura, who spent over 20 hours detailing explicit sexual encounters that prosecutors allege are central to the criminal case. Ventura testified that Combs introduced her to "freak-offs" when she was 22, stating, "I would do absolutely anything for him, and I did. And it never stopped our whole relationship." She explained these encounters involved hired male escorts and drug use, with Combs allegedly controlling every aspect from her appearance to the sex acts performed. The defense portrayed Ventura as a willing participant, displaying messages where she appeared enthusiastic about these encounters. "I don't want to freak off for a last time," read one 2012 message, "I want it to be [the] first time for the rest of our […]

Explosion at California Fertility Clinic Linked to “Anti-Pro-Life” Extremist

A 25-year-old California man identified as the suspect in a devastating explosion at a Palm Springs fertility clinic left behind writings expressing "anti-pro-life" views before the attack, which authorities are investigating as terrorism. The FBI identified Guy Edward Bartkus of Twentynine Palms as the suspect who died in the Saturday blast that severely damaged the American Reproductive Centers clinic in Palm Springs, an upscale desert city east of Los Angeles. Investigators revealed that Bartkus attempted to livestream the explosion and left writings containing "nihilistic ideations" that suggested anti-natalist viewsโ€”a philosophy opposing human reproduction. U.S. Attorney Bilal "Bill" Essayli characterized the message as "anti-pro-life." "This was a targeted attack against the IVF facility," said Akil Davis, assistant director of the FBI's Los Angeles field office. "Make no mistake: we are treating this as an intentional act of terrorism." The explosion, which […]

First American Pope Vows Dramatic Change During Inauguration

Pope Leo XIV met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky following his inauguration Mass, according to the Vatican. In his closing prayer, the new Catholic leader expressed concern about the war in Ukraine, stating, "The martyred Ukraine is waiting for negotiations for a just and lasting peace to finally happen." Addressing thousands gathered in St Peter's Square, the Pope warned against marginalization of the poor and autocratic governance. Notable attendees included Zelensky, US Vice President JD Vance, and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, with whom the pontiff was seen shaking hands. During the Mass, Pope Leo criticized "hatred, violence, prejudice, the fear of difference, and an economic paradigm that exploits the Earth's resources and marginalises the poorest." He pledged to govern "without ever yielding to the temptation to be an autocrat." The ceremony drew reverent crowds as the Pope received […]

Mexican Navy Vessel Crashes Into Brooklyn Bridge Killing Two Sailors

A Mexican Navy training ship collided with the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City on Saturday, resulting in two deaths and 19 injuries among those aboard, according to Mayor Eric Adams. "At this time, of the 277 on board, 19 sustained injuries, 2 of which remain in critical condition, and 2 more have sadly passed away from their injuries," Adams announced on social media platform X. Despite the tragic human toll, the 142-year-old bridge reportedly escaped major structural damage. Video footage captured the dramatic moment when the vessel attempted to sail beneath the iconic bridge connecting Brooklyn and Manhattan. The tops of all three masts struck the bridge's underside, causing them to snap and partially collapse onto the ship's deck. The vessel, prominently displaying a large Mexican flag, drifted toward the riverbank after the collision as onlookers fled the shore. […]

Ten Inmates Escape Prison Through Hole Behind Jail Toilet

Ten inmates escaped from a New Orleans jail early Friday morning by exploiting a hole behind a toilet, triggering a manhunt and raising questions about facility security and possible inside help. The Orleans Parish Sheriff's Office reported that the escape began around 12:22 am when inmates tampered with a cell door. Surveillance footage captured them entering the compromised cell and slipping through a wall hole behind a toilet. The group then exited through a loading dock, used blankets to climb over a barbed-wire fence, and fled toward nearby railroad tracks and Interstate 10. "We have made progress," noted Orleans Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick. Three escapees have been recaptured so far. Kendell Myles, facing attempted second-degree murder charges, was discovered hiding under a vehicle in a French Quarter hotel garage. Robert Moody was apprehended later that day, though officials haven't shared details […]

Australian War Hero Loses Defamation Appeal Over Afghanistan Allegations

Ben Roberts-Smith, Australia's most decorated living war veteran, has had his appeal rejected in a high-profile defamation case regarding newspaper reports of his conduct in Afghanistan. On Friday, three federal court judges unanimously upheld the original 2023 ruling that found the 2018 newspaper articles accusing Roberts-Smith of war crimes were substantially true to a civil standard. The initial judgment determined he was responsible for four of six alleged unlawful killings. The 46-year-old former Special Air Service (SAS) Regiment corporal, who holds both the Victoria Cross and Medal for Gallantry for his service in Afghanistan, was not present in the Sydney court for the decision. His legal representatives declined to comment afterward, though they still have the option to appeal to Australia's High Court. Despite the civil court findings, Roberts-Smith has never faced criminal charges, which would require proof beyond a […]

US Aid Plan For Gaza Crumbles As UN Rejects Non-Neutral Distribution Scheme

The United Nations has refused to participate in a US-backed humanitarian operation in Gaza, stating the plan fails to meet fundamental humanitarian principles of impartiality, neutrality and independence. "This particular distribution plan does not accord with our basic principles, including those of impartiality, neutrality, and independence, and we will not be participating in this," deputy UN spokesperson Farhan Haq told reporters on Thursday. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, backed by the United States, is scheduled to begin operations in Gaza by late May. However, the initiative has faced significant criticism, with UN aid chief Tom Fletcher describing it as a "fig leaf for further violence and displacement" of Palestinians. During a press conference in Turkey, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio acknowledged these concerns while defending the initiative's intent. "We're not immune or in any way insensitive to the suffering of […]
