Donald Trump Rages at ‘Fake News’, Breaks Silence on Melania Trump’s Jeffrey Epstein Speech

President Donald Trump has finally addressed First Lady Melania Trump’s controversial remarks on Jeffrey Epstein from the White House. She shocked everyone when she dismissed allegations about her relationship with disgraced financier and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, in a speech on April 9.

After the surprise announcement, her ex-chief of staff also gave the president’s claim a ‘B-’ rating that he had no idea about her speech and that he was “caught off guard” by her unexpected statement.

And now, Trump has finally put the talk to rest. According to the Mirror, the president has revealed that she gave a statement denying her connection with Epstein as a constant stream of “fake news” was “bothering” her. This happened after a reporter questioned Trump about the recent statement outside the White House.

Speaking to reporters outside the White House on Thursday, April 16, Trump said there were no ties between his wife and Epstein. “She had none”, he said. “Because the fake news said she did. She had none. I think that’s been proven”, he continued.

Trump and Epstein were reportedly once friends, but their relationship strained with time. Despite repeated mention of his name in Epstein Files released by the DOJ, the president claimed to have no awareness or ties to Epstein’s criminal activities during the billionaire’s lifetime.

13-Year-Old Waiting In Drop-Off Line Allegedly Shoots Father In Car, Heads For School

Louisiana police arrested a 13-year-old boy after he allegedly shot his father Tuesday morning in the car drop-off line close to a school.

The shooting occurred at about 7:39 a.m. near the Tangipahoa Alternative School following an argument between the unidentified teen and his father, the Hammond Police Department (HPD) said, according to WDSU6 News. A school resource officer responded to the vehicle during the argument in which the teen allegedly told his father he didn’t want to attend school. The teen’s father then decided to take him home, police said.

The school resource officer allegedly heard gunfire as the teen’s father began making his way out of the car drop-off line. The teen’s father accelerated across the street and crashed into a home, causing damage, police said. A preschool-aged child was in the car’s backseat during the alleged shooting and was not hurt. Another relative is caring for the child.

Following the crash, the teen allegedly approached the school’s side door while armed with the gun. HPD Police Chief Edwin Bergeron, Jr. said the teen was apprehended and disarmed by the school resource officer, according to WWLTV.

The school, which serves 250 students, went into lockdown over the incident, a move that was later lifted, the outlet reported. Bergeron, Jr. said the entire incident took place within a minute of the original radio call.

‘There is No Mama’: Two Homosexuals Taunt Surrogate Baby Crying for His Mother: VIDEO

The horror of the surrogacy trend reared its head again this week.

An Instagram video posted by gay musician Shane McAnally has triggered the ire of many conservatives and viewers alike.

Posted earlier this week, the video shows a man, presumably either McAnally or his “husband,” Michael Baum, holding their adopted third child, Texson, whom they recently brought into the family after taking him from his mother after she gave birth.

“Who do you want, Dada or Pop?” the man asks the baby repeatedly over the course of the video.

The baby can be heard making noises that sound remarkably like “mama” and “mom” throughout the video. (Read more from “‘There is No Mama’: Two Homosexuals Taunt Surrogate Baby Crying for His Mother: VIDEO” HERE)

Tijuana Sewage Exposes Thousands In US To Toxic Air

Thousands of people in California are being sickened due to exposure to raw sewage that foams up in the Tijuana River before the river empties into the Pacific Ocean, according to The Associated Press (AP).

Steve Egger, a 72-year-old resident of Southern California, told The AP the exposure is “awful,” noting the foam emits toxic fumes that cloud the air. “Most nights we breathe in a horrible stench,” Egger said. Egger and his wife’s home has a hospital-grade filtration system that cycles air every 15 minutes. Despite this measure, the couple frequently experiences headaches, waking up congested, and coughing up phlegm, according to Egger.

While doctors have recommended that he move, Egger says Southern California is his “home.”

“This is where I’ve lived all my life, with my family, my parents, my grandparents,” he said. “This is home.”

The Tijuana River has carried 10 billion gallons of raw sewage and industrial waste across the U.S. border from Mexico since January 2026, according to International Water and Boundary Commission (IWBC) data cited by The AP. More than 100 billion gallons of raw sewage, industrial chemicals, and trash have poured into the Tijuana River since 2018, the IWBC said.

‘What Are You Doing?’: UPS Plane Avoids Collision With Jet After Suspending Landing

A UPS cargo plane was forced to abort a landing after a corporate jet taxied toward the runway at the Louisville International Airport in Kentucky just after midnight on Tuesday.

As the plane was prepping to land at the Louisville Muhammed Ali International Airport, a jet owned by the medical laboratory healthcare services company Labcorp inched past the taxiway, causing an array of air traffic control alarm systems up in the air traffic control tower to go off, CBS News reported. The unexpected move by the Labcorp pilot prompted air traffic controllers on location to demand the jet halt, which it did. This forced the UPS plane, around 125 feet from the surface, to execute a “go-around,” according to the outlet.

“What are you doing?” one of the air traffic controllers can reportedly be heard pressing the Labcorp pilot in the audio, according to CBS News.

“Sorry for that,” the Labcorp pilot replied.

In November of 2025, UPS suffered a fatal cargo plane crash that claimed 14 lives, which occurred at the same airport:

REPORT: UK Prime Minister Claims Officials Hid Former Ambassador’s Epstein Ties From Him

The British Prime Minister’s office reportedly claims that officials within the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office withheld critical information about former ambassador Peter Mandelson.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer suggests his own government failed to inform him that Mandelson received security clearance despite concerns raised during the vetting process, including concerns tied to his security vetting and alleged connections involving Jeffrey Epstein, according to SkyNews’ Political Editor Beth Rigby. Officials now say neither Starmer nor Foreign Secretary David Lammy knew that Mandelson’s clearance allegedly went against the recommendation of U.K. security vetting authorities.

The scrutiny was toward senior civil servants inside the Foreign Office—particularly Olly Robbins, the department’s top official. Rigby posted that Starmer had already been asking internal questions about the vetting process in recent days, especially after The Guardian reported the story. Despite those inquiries, officials allegedly failed to disclose that Mandelson’s clearance had been granted despite objections from vetting authorities.

On March 16, Rigby said she pressed Starmer on Mandelson’s appointment, and he responded that “due process was followed” while acknowledging system weaknesses, calling the outcome “my mistake,” and issuing an apology. 10 Downing Street, the Prime Minister’s office, now says officials withheld key vetting details from Starmer, including that Mandelson received security clearance despite concerns, even as he addressed Parliament, according to The Guardian’s political editor Pippa Crerar.

First Cruise Ship Sets Sail Through Strait of Hormuz After Weeks-Long Closure by Iranian Regime

The first commercial ship successfully sailed through the Strait of Hormuz Friday after Iran agreed to reopen the vital waterway following a weeks-long closure.

The Celestyal Discovery cruise ship cleared the strait, just hours after Iran Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced the narrow waterway was once again fully open to all commercial vessels — after the Iranian regime had threatened to attack any ship that transited it following the launch of the US and Israel’s war on Tehran.

The ship departed Port Rashid in Dubai at 11:36 a.m. local time – becoming the first passenger liner to exit the shipping lane since the start of the conflict, data from shipping tracker MarineTraffic showed.

The vessel, which carries about 1,360 passengers, was reportedly empty when it traversed the strait.

It is headed to Muscat, Oman, where it is expected to dock late Saturday afternoon, according to CruiseMapper. (Read more from “First Cruise Ship Sets Sail Through Strait of Hormuz After Weeks-Long Closure by Iranian Regime” HERE)

Elon Musk’s Proposal of ‘Universal High Income’ to Combat AI Job Losses Baffles Economists: ‘So Wrong on This’

Elon Musk turned heads Friday when he suggested that the federal government paying citizens a “universal high income” is the best way to combat AI-related job losses.

“Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI,” Musk said in a post on his own X platform shortly after midnight Friday morning.

The proposal, which is still pinned to the top of his X account, rebuffed the idea that such payments would be inflationary. . .

“He is so wrong on this,” wrote Sanjeev Sanyal, the former top economic advisor to India’s Minister of Finance.

“AI will certainly cause dislocation, but like all technology it will also create new jobs and opportunities in the medium term. AI and robots will also not produce goods and services in excess of money or demand that there will be no inflation,” he wrote on X.

DHS Deports Latino Migrants to Africa

President Donald Trump’s deputies have deported 15 illegal migrants to Africa, roughly 7,000 miles from their homes in Central America, according to the Associated Press.

“An official at the Congolese migration agency confirmed the arrivals but didn’t provide details,” the AP reported from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, adding:

The deportees are all from Latin America and the Congolese government plans to keep them in the country for a short period, said U.S. attorney Alma David, who represents one of the deportees. She has been speaking with her client since arriving in Kinshasa.

The new “Safe Third Country” deportation policy is a big win because it bypasses a legal maneuver used by many migrants who persuaded judges that their home country is too dangerous for a safe deportation.

That courtroom maneuver has allowed many migrants — including the 15 Congo deportees plus “Maryland Man” Kilmar Abrego Garcia — to stay in the United States even after they are ordered home. (Read more from “DHS Deports Latino Migrants to Africa” HERE)

Teacher ‘Inadvertently’ Displays Female Breast Photos to High School Class During Presentation

Students at a Washington high school got an unexpected eyeful of female human anatomy during a slide show presentation by a teacher, apparently from the instructor’s personal computer.

Students at Glacier Peak High School in Snohomish, Washington, were “inadvertently” exposed to images of bare female breasts during the presentation, school principal Alicia Mitchell wrote to parents in a letter obtained by several news outlets.

The principal wrote:

Families, we want to make you aware of an incident in a classroom where inappropriate images were inadvertently shared with the students. It is our understanding that these images have since been viewed by many others beyond the classroom and want to give you an opportunity to process with your student if you choose to do so.

Specifically, the content included images of nude breasts and were briefly visible during a teacher’s PowerPoint presentation. This does not reflect our expectations for classroom materials, and we take this matter very seriously. School administrators have already started taking steps to address this and are actively reviewing to assess this situation and appropriately address it moving forward.
