Gas Station Clerk Saves 16-year-old Girl Abducted by Stranger After She Mouthed ‘Help’

A courageous Michigan gas station clerk helped save a teenage girl who was abducted by a gun-toting stranger with a history of rape allegations while walking to her school bus stop.

The creep kidnapped the 16-year-old girl at gunpoint just after 7 a.m. Monday in Hamtramck, while she was waiting for her school bus, Hamtramck Police Department Chief Hussein Farhat told WXYZ.

Roughly 30 minutes later, the unidentified suspect brought the girl to a Sunoco gas station, where he asked for cigarettes and told the terrified teen to pay for them, the outlet reported.

“When he ask her to pay for the cigarettes, I stop and go there’s something wrong. And she mouthed talked to me, like with no sound, ‘help,’” store clerk Abdulrahman Abohatem told the local station.

Abohatem then heroically came out from behind the protective glass and confronted the man — kicking him out and ushering the kidnapped teen behind him. (Read more from “Gas Station Clerk Saves 16-year-old Girl Abducted by Stranger After She Mouthed ‘Help’” HERE)

Police Fatally Shoot Woman Seen Slashing Toddler She Kidnapped from Walmart

Nebraska police fatally shot a woman who slashed a toddler after leading the child out of a Walmart at knifepoint in an alleged kidnapping, according to cops and body-worn camera images.

Cops responded to a Walmart in Omaha just after 9:10 a.m. for reports of a woman armed with a “large kitchen knife” who had a young child, according to the Omaha Police Department.

Surveillance footage caught the woman, later identified as 31-year-old Noemi Guzman, shoplifting the knife from the store and approaching a 3-year-old boy and his guardian in an aisle, police said.

Guzman was seen brandishing the knife and forcing the female shopper to walk ahead of the cart as the child remained inside it. She then terrifyingly led them through the store and into the parking lot, cops added.

The knife-wielding woman “took possession of the child, essentially kidnapping the child,” Deputy Chief Scott Gray said at a press conference. (Read more from “Police Fatally Shoot Woman Seen Slashing Toddler She Kidnapped from Walmart” HERE)

Kristi and Bryon Noem Took on Millions in Debt Leading up to Cross-Dressing Husband’s Fetish Model Splurge

Kristi Noem and her cross-dressing husband, Bryon, borrowed millions of dollars in the years leading up to the latter’s eye-popping spending on “bimbo” OnlyFans models, a financial disclosure shows.

The couple listed between $2,600,000 and $3,250,000 in debts dating back to 2020 on a federal financial disclosure filed by the fired Homeland Security secretary last year.

Five of the six loans were obtained by Bryon for his car wash and insurance businesses, according to the filing.

The only loan listed as a “joint” one was a 2020 mortgage valued between $100,001 – $250,000.

The Daily Mail reported last month that Bryon, a father of three, had been leading a double-life while Kristi served in the Trump administration – spending tens of thousands of dollars to chat-up kinky OnlyFans models as he donned massive fake breasts.

Report: Iran Executions Hit Three-Decade High

Two European non-governmental organizations (NGOs) published a report this week that found Iran conducted 1,639 executions in 2025 — an increase of 68 percent over the previous year, and the largest number of executions since 1989.

The report was the latest edition of the “Annual Report on the Death Penalty in Iran” prepared by Iran Human Rights (IHR) and Together Against the Death Penalty (EPCM), which are based in Norway and France, respectively. The report has been produced every year since 2012.

The two groups are generally opposed to the death penalty, but find Iran’s practices to be particularly objectionable, as the Islamic regime is usually “ranked first worldwide in executions per capita” — it sometimes takes second place after China — and has a much lower threshold for capital punishment than most other nations.

In her forward to the report, human rights lawyer Nasrin Sotoudeh said the “worst form of execution” practiced by Iran are its political killings, which are often carried out at the behest of bloodthirsty pressure groups.

“This is precisely why death sentences should never be issued under the influence of public opinion,” she said. (Read more from “Report: Iran Executions Hit Three-Decade High” HERE)

ATF: Bullet Jacket from .30 Caliber Round Found in Charlie Kirk’s Autopsy

A Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) report shows that a bullet jacket from a .30 caliber round was found during the autopsy of Charlie Kirk.

Kirk was assassinated on September 10, 2025, and the next day, Breitbart News reported that FBI Special Agent Robert Bohls indicated that law enforcement recovered the rifle they believed was used in the shooting.

Bohls described the firearm as a “high-power, bolt-action rifle.”

The New York Post noted that the rifle was a “30-06-caliber Mauser bolt-action rifle.” A .30.06 has long been a popular big-game hunting round in the U.S., and it is in the .30 caliber classification.

The ATF report says that during Kirk’s autopsy, a “.30-caliber class deformed/damaged bullet jacket fragment and four lead fragments” were found. (Read more from “ATF: Bullet Jacket from .30 Caliber Round Found in Charlie Kirk’s Autopsy” HERE)

Trump Ally Suspends Defense Agreement With Israel After IDF Fired Warning Shots At Country’s Peacekeeping Convoy

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has suspended the nation’s defense cooperation agreement with Israel amid the war with Iran.

Meloni spoke outside a wine industry event in Verona Tuesday, where she told reporters the Italian government “has decided to suspend the automatic renewal of the defense agreement with Israel in consideration of the current situation,” according to a Politico report.

The defense agreement was first established in 2003. It covers the transfer of military equipment and technology-related research between Italy and Israel’s armed forces, and it is set to automatically renew every five years, Politico reported.

The development comes amid rising tensions between Italy and Israel, as the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) fired warning shots at an Italian peacekeeping convoy in Lebanon on April 8, according to a Politico report.

“A logistics convoy of the Italian contingent, moving from Shama towards Beirut, was subjected to warning shots fired by the IDF about two kilometres from the base of departure,” the Minister of Defense, Guido Crosetto, stated April 8. The peacekeepers were with UNIFIL, or the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon.

Video Shows Oklahoma Principal Tackling School Shooter, Halting Attack

Newly released security camera footage shows the moment an Oklahoma principal was shot and injured as he tackled a former student who walked into school carrying a gun.

Pauls Valley High School Principal Kirk Moore has been hailed as a hero by state officials for stopping the April 7 shooting before students were hurt.

The footage, released Tuesday, April 14, shows a man walking into what appears to be a school lobby carrying a gun. At least two other people are in the lobby. Moore runs in and tackles him. A second school employee then walks in to help and takes the gun away from the man.

Moore was shot in the leg and survived.

The accused shooter, Victor Hawkins, is facing felony charges of shooting with intent to kill and pointing a firearm, as well as two misdemeanor counts of carrying a weapon into a public assembly. Investigators wrote in court filings that Hawkins, 20, told them he wanted his own school shooting “like the Columbine shooters did.” (Read more from “Video Shows Oklahoma Principal Tackling School Shooter, Halting Attack” HERE)

Eric Swalwell’s Chief of Staff Gives Stinging Nine-Word Message amid Rape Scandal

The former chief of staff to Eric Swalwell responded to the rape allegations against his former boss with a brutal rebuke about how no one is working for the congressman anymore.

Benjamin Burnett replied to a request for comment from the Hill about the swarm of sexual abuse and sexual misconduct allegations against the embattled former congressman.

“As of 2 PM (ET) today neither Cassie [Baloue] nor I work for or report to the former Congressman,” the post on X read.

“We will not be commenting on his behalf, relaying your request to him, or contact/coordinating with him in anyway.”

The message added, “He rightfully has no one working for him anymore.”

The comment came just hours after another alleged victim came forward with accusations on Tuesday of horrific claims that the married congressman drugged and raped her in a hotel room in 2018. (Read more from “Eric Swalwell’s Chief of Staff Gives Stinging Nine-Word Message amid Rape Scandal” HERE)

Biden Gaffe with Syracuse University Trustee Who ‘Looks Like’ Obama Deemed ‘Racist:’ ‘Barack, what are you doing?’

. . .Former President Joe Biden spotted a familiar face on stage during his portrait unveiling at Syracuse University School of Law Tuesday and demanded the man join him at the podium in an awkward exchange.

“I always want to turn around to one guy and say … ‘Barack, what are you doing?’” Biden joked during the event at his alma mater.

The 83-year-old former president was referring to Jeffrey Scruggs, who is black and the chairman of the school’s Board of Trustees, and apparently reminds Biden of the 44th president, Barack Obama.

Biden awkwardly put the spotlight on Scruggs and called for him to come up to the podium, despite the chairman’s apparent reluctance.

“Come here, come here, come here, come here … come here,” Biden repeatedly demanded, motioning for Scruggs.

“I feel like he should be standing on the right and I should be standing on the left,” Biden said, after the trustee finally walked over laughing. (Read more from “Biden Gaffe with Syracuse University Trustee Who ‘Looks Like’ Obama Deemed ‘Racist:’ ‘Barack, what are you doing?’” HERE)

Trump Reforms Cut Legal Immigration by 50 percent

The number of migrants approved for citizenship dropped by roughly 50 percent amid the pro-America review process set by Donald Trump’s agents at the Department of Homeland Security.

The reduced inflow of migrants will pressure companies to raise wages and increase investment in productivity-boosting workplace technology. The decline will also cut housing costs, helping Americans to get married and raise kids.

There were big fluctuations in applications for naturalization during 2025, yet overall, there was a steep drop in citizenship requests compared to 2024, which was Biden’s final year in office, according to the latest data from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), NPR reported.

“During the first few months of Trump’s second term, the administration approved a record-high number of naturalizations. At the peak of 2025, 88,488 applications were approved in one month — the largest number since USCIS began tracking month-by-month naturalization data in 2022,” NPR added.

However, by January of this year, that number fell to only 32,862, which is the lowest number USCIS ever tracked.
