Top Iranian Negotiator Arrives Back in Pakistan — while Trump Orders Chief US Aides to Phone it in

/0 Comments/in , /by

Iran’s foreign minister was back in Islamabad on Sunday reportedly hoping to work on a peace plan — while President Trump said his top aides will only participate by phone at this point because Pakistan is too far to go to again.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi did the quick turnaround after leaving Pakistan’s capital without meeting with US officials Saturday, a move that prompted Trump to then swiftly cancel American negotiators’ intended return trip to Islamabad.

US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner were expected to leave for Pakistan’s capital Saturday before being called off.

Trump on Sunday doubled down on his refusal to send the US negotiators back to Islamabad, telling Fox News that the 18-hour trip is too far to travel if Iran continues to refuse his nuclear demands.

“Great respect for Pakistan, because they’ve been terrific. They’ve really tried, and they’ll stay involved, but we’re going to do it by telephone, so if they want, they can call us,” Trump said of Tehran.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former President Barack Obama responded to the thwarted assassination attempt on President Donald Trump, as well as his cabinet members, by calling on Americans to “reject the idea that violence has any place in our democracy.”

The former president released his call for peace on Sunday in a statement on X.

“Although we don’t yet have the details about the motives behind last night’s shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner, it’s incumbent upon all us to reject the idea that violence has any place in our democracy,” Obama said.

“It’s also a sobering reminder of the courage and sacrifice that U.S. Secret Service Agents show every day. I’m grateful to them – and thankful that the agent who was shot is going to be okay,” he added.

A man, now identified as 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen, allegedly intended to target the president and several of his cabinet members during the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner on Saturday night. A resident of the Los Angeles suburb of Torrance, Allen allegedly traveled across the country by train and came to the Washington Hilton armed with a shotgun, a handgun, and multiple knives.

MAGA Civil War Continues as Laura Loomer goes on Deranged Rant Against Candace Owens

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .This week, the already strained MAGA fanbase has grown a deeper divide.

On April 20th, President Trump’s staunchest ally Laura Loomer took to X to verbally attack political commentator Candace Owens, who in recent months, has spoken out against the president more and more.

“God hates you @RealCandaceO,” Loomer wrote at around 9:00pm. “It’s why he gave Charlie to Erika and why you didn’t even get to say goodbye to him,” she said, referring to Owens’ longstanding friendship with the late conservative activist.

“God hates you. Look in the mirror and internalize how much God hates you,” Loomer continued. “We all hate you. Humanity hates you. And you are irredeemable.” . . .

But Owens was soon ready with a comeback of her own.

The next day, Owens posted a photo of a letter from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, denying Loomer’s request to purchase a firearm… again. (Read more from “MAGA Civil War Continues as Laura Loomer goes on Deranged Rant Against Candace Owens” HERE)

African Elephants Trample Skilled California Hunter to Death

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A wealthy big-game hunter from California was ambushed and trampled to death by five elephants as he hunted small forest antelopes in central Africa earlier this month.

Californian vineyard owner Ernie Dosio, 75, who had trophy rooms in his home filled with his collection of exotic animal heads, was caught off guard with his guide when the herd emerged out of the underbrush where they were concealed and charged the hunting party, according to a report in the Daily Mail.

The fatal encounter took place in the Lope-Okanda rainforest and involved five female elephants with a calf, according to the Mail.

A professional hunter was guiding Dosio in the thick forest of Gabon for a $40,000 fee in search of a shot at the “elusive yellow-backed duiker.”

Over the decades Dosio reportedly has hunted elephants, leopards, rhinos, buffalo, and lions across Africa, and back home in the United States he hunted almost every species of wild deer. (Read more from “African Elephants Trample Skilled California Hunter to Death” HERE)

Would-be UFO Whistleblower Died of Accidental Drug Overdose after Agreeing to Testify to Congress

/0 Comments/in , /by

An Air Force veteran who agreed to testify before Congress about secret government UFO programs died just months before the hearings of an accidental drug overdose, The Post has learned.

Matthew James Sullivan, 39, died at his home in Falls Church, Va., on May 12, 2024 from a lethal mix of alcohol, alprazolam, cyclobenzaprine and imipramine, according to the Northern District Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.

Alprazolam is generic Xanax, an anti-anxiety medication; cyclobenzaprine is a powerful prescription muscle relaxant that works on the central nervous system; imipramine is a drug for children used to treat anxiety and bedwetting.

The mysterious death is of “grave concern” to Rep. Eric Burlison (R-Mo.), who referred the matter for investigation to the FBI due to “implications for national security,” according to a letter obtained by The Post.

“Mr. Sullivan’s death was a local Virginia medical examiner case, and the manner and circumstances of his of death raise substantial questions, as he was preparing to provide testimony to Congress,” the April 16 letter addressed to FBI Director Kash Patel read.

24,000-Year-Old Frozen ‘Zombie Worm’ Thawed by Scientists — Then it Shockingly Started Reproducing

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .Scientists successfully revived a “zombie worm” that had been frozen for 24,000 years, revealing new insight into how life survives in the most unforgiving environments over extended periods of time.

According to a study published in the scientific journal Current Biology, researchers found that the microscopic organism — identified as a rotifer — is a small, multicellular animal commonly found in freshwater environments that is known for its unusual durability, FOX News reported.

The “zombie worm” has been frozen deep within Siberian permafrost since the Late Pleistocene, which was considered to be the final epoch of the Ice Age, ending roughly 11,700 years ago.

Scientists believe the Yedoma formation — an ice-rich, organic-laden permafrost formed during the Ice Age — helped sustain the specimen in a stable, frozen state for tens of thousands of years.

Researchers carefully thawed out the rotifer under strictly controlled laboratory conditions and were left stunned when the multiple millennia-old rotifer resumed normal biological functions.

Illegal Migrant ‘Cannibal’ Attacks 3-Year-Old — and the Biden Admin Fumbled ‘Completely Preventable’ Assault: DHS

/0 Comments/in , /by

An illegal migrant maniac allegedly high on a powerful drug chomped on a toddler’s face in Texas last week, two years after the Biden administration failed to kick him out of the country despite his arrest in an earlier violent assault, authorities told The Post.

The horrific April 18 attack in a San Antonio park left 3-year-old Amelia Perez with deep scratches and bite wounds across her face, two teeth knocked out, and life-changing trauma, her family said.

“That brute was ravaging my baby!” mom Gabriella Perez, 27, told The Post. “She’s terrified to sleep. She’s lashing out, angry. She doesn’t understand evil like this f–king man. She’ll never be the same again.”

That Saturday, the family — Perez, little Amelia, her father Xavier Estrada, 27, and grandfather Richard Ariaza — headed from their home in LaCoste to Espada Park for a quiet afternoon of fishing for the bass, catfish and sunfish.

At around 2 p.m., Gabriella took Amelia to the restroom, and when they stepped back outside, a man in a frenzied state charged toward them, said Perez. (Read more from “Illegal Migrant ‘Cannibal’ Attacks 3-Year-Old — and the Biden Admin Fumbled ‘Completely Preventable’ Assault: DHS” HERE)

Some Democrats Are Gearing Up To Impeach Trump A Third Time If They Retake The House

/0 Comments/in , /by

A group of House Democrats is already laying the groundwork for a third impeachment of President Donald Trump, with some members urging their party to prepare a case well before a potential majority flip in January 2027.

Democratic Illinois Rep. Delia Ramirez told Axios that Democrats need to start building their strategy immediately. “This is something that I keep saying to our leadership … we need to have a very concrete, coordinated strategy,” Ramirez said. She called on colleagues to conduct “shadow hearings” and finish the investigative work required to act on Day 1. Arizona Rep. Yassamin Ansari told the outlet that if Democrats recapture the chamber, “the push for impeachment is going to be overwhelming.”

The effort has gained significant traction over the past year. When Democratic Texas Rep. Al Green forced a vote last June, 128 Democrats joined Republicans in killing the measure while just 78 backed it, Axios reported. By December, Green’s second attempt drew support from 140 Democrats, and the House voted 237-140 to table the resolution, with Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and his deputies shifting to vote “present,” the Associated Press reported.

The impeachment drumbeat has been building for months. Democratic California Rep. Ro Khanna vowed on MSNBC that Democrats “will impeach” Trump once they retake the House. Democratic New Jersey Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman made a similar pledge at a January town hall, as the Daily Caller reported.

Not every Democrat is on board. Democratic Illinois Rep. Brad Schneider, who chairs the center-left New Democrat coalition, told Axios that without a two-thirds Senate majority, “the president will not be removed from office.” A Jeffries ally told CNN in January that another impeachment would be “a waste of time,” while a separate Democrat close to leadership warned the strategy could hurt the party’s 2028 chances.

Trump Pulls Plug On US Delegation’s Trip To Iran Talks

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump canceled a planned trip by two of his envoys to Pakistan meant to facilitate peace talks with Iran nearly two months after the war began.

Trump administration Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff and Special Envoy for Peace Missions Jared Kushner were scheduled to travel Saturday morning to the Pakistani capital of Islamabad and participate in direct talks with an Iranian delegation. Trump, however, announced in a Saturday afternoon Truth Social post that he canceled the trip, stating it would be “[t]oo much time wasted on traveling, too much work!”

“Besides which, there is tremendous infighting and confusion within their [the Iranians’] ‘leadership,’” the president added. “Nobody knows who is in charge, including them. Also, we have all the cards, they have none! If they want to talk, all they have to do is call!!!”

The White House referred the Daily Caller News Foundation to Trump’s Truth Social post when asked for comment.

About a half hour before Trump sent the post, Axios Global Affairs Correspondent Barak Ravid reported on X that Trump told him over the phone he had canceled Witkoff and Kushner’s trip “due to the Iranian position in the negotiations.” (Read more from “Trump Pulls Plug On US Delegation’s Trip To Iran Talks” HERE)
