Miss Universe Puerto Rico Announces Second Transgender Contestant

Miss Universe Puerto Rico has announced its second biological male contestant since 2023 — revealing on Wednesday that transgender model Gabriel Rodríguez Velázquez is among this year’s competitors vying for the crown.

Gabriel Rodríguez Velázquez — representing the town of Cidra — is the second male to compete for the crown in Miss Universe Puerto Rico, according to a report by Hola!.

Notably, Rodríguez Velázquez’s participation in Miss Universe Puerto Rico makes for the second transgender model to compete for the crown — after Daniela Arroyo González, who became the first trans contestant in 2023.

“Transgender man competing to become Miss Universe Puerto Rico,” one X user wrote, sharing a promotional video. “Gabriel Rodríguez Velázquez, who identifies as a woman, is hoping to win the women’s beauty pageant for 2026 after previously qualifying to compete in 2023.”

“Men replacing women in women only spaces is such a tired and played out scam. At this point is just pathetic,” one X user reacted.

Missing Nuclear Official Becomes TENTH Person Tied to Dark Pattern Surrounding US Secrets

Another person with links to America’s nuclear secrets has gone missing as the disturbing list of deaths and disappearances in recent years continues to grow.

Steven Garcia, 48, vanished without a trace on August 28, 2025. He was last seen leaving his Albuquerque, New Mexico home on foot, carrying only a handgun.

An anonymous source told the Daily Mail that Garcia was a government contractor working for the Kansas City National Security Campus (KCNSC), a major facility in Albuquerque that plays a key behind-the-scenes role in America’s national defense.

Specifically, KCNSC manufactures more than 80 percent of all the non-nuclear components that go into building the military’s nuclear weapons.

Garcia allegedly served as a property custodian at KCNSC’s New Mexico facility, giving him a top security clearance and broad access to the entire site’s nuclear secrets. (Read more from “Missing Nuclear Official Becomes TENTH Person Tied to Dark Pattern Surrounding US Secrets” HERE)

Proof of a Collapsing Nation: “Anchor Babies” from Illegals Constitute Nearly 10% of All US Births

Nearly 10% of US births in 2023 came from illegal immigrant mothers, according to newly published research.

Pew Research Center revealed that 320,000 of the 3.6 million babies born in the US that year were anchor babies who would not qualify for birthright citizenship if President Trump’s executive order is upheld by the Supreme Court.

“Under the current erroneous birthright citizenship interpretation, these children automatically become citizens and unlock food stamps, welfare, specialized schooling for English education, and eventually college aid,” Brandy Perez Carbaugh of the Heritage Foundation told The Post.

Of those 320,000, the center said 245,000 were born to parents who were illegal immigrants.

Another 15,000 babies were born to mothers who had temporary legal status, while the fathers were not citizens or lawful permanent residents.

The remaining 60,000 were born to illegal alien mothers while the child’s father was a citizen or lawful permanent resident. (Read more from “Proof of a Collapsing Nation: “Anchor Babies” from Illegals Constitute Nearly 10% of All US Births” HERE)

Trump Admin Officials Pull Democrat Inflation Tactic Amid Iran War

President Donald Trump’s administration is being accused of taking a page out of the Democrats’ playbook by blaming inflation on price gouging during the economic instability of a U.S.-Iranian war.

The strategy was employed by members of the House GOP and Trump cabinet officials at hearings on Capitol Hill earlier this week to save face over a war-born hike in the cost of living as the midterms approach.

In March, the U.S. annual inflation rate jumped to 3.3%, marking not only a large increase from the 2.4% inflation rate in both February and January, but also the highest inflation rate since reaching 4.1% in May 2023, Trending Economics shows.

Although the inflation rate is the highest it has been under either of Trump’s terms, it is still dwarfed compared to Joe Biden’s June 2022 peak of 9.1%, which gave Democrats at the time plenty of practice deflecting responsibility and placing it on greedy corporations and fat-cat businessmen.

Ahead of 2022’s midterm elections, Biden blamed the rise in gas prices on the greed of oil companies despite funding a war between Ukraine and Russia, which had resulted in a fall in supply of oil, and thus a rise in oil prices, according to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

US Military Strike on Alleged Drug Boat Kills 3 in Caribbean Sea

The U.S. military said it launched another strike on a boat accused of ferrying drugs in the Caribbean Sea, killing three people Sunday.

The Trump administration’s campaign of blowing up alleged drug-trafficking vessels in Latin American waters has persisted since early September and killed at least 181 people in total. Other strikes have taken place in the eastern Pacific Ocean.

Despite the Iran war, the series of strikes have ramped up again in the past week or so, showing that the administration’s aggressive measures to stop what it calls “narcoterrorism” in the Western Hemisphere are not letting up. The military has not provided evidence that any of the vessels were carrying drugs.

The attacks began as the U.S. built up its largest military presence in the region in generations and came months ahead of the raid in January that captured then-Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. He was brought to New York to face drug trafficking charges and has pleaded not guilty. (Read more from “US Military Strike on Alleged Drug Boat Kills 3 in Caribbean Sea” HERE)

Trump: U.S. Navy Blows a Hole in Iranian Ship, Seizes Vessel — Tehran Threatens Response as Talks Remain Uncertain

President Donald Trump said Sunday the U.S. “stopped them right in their tracks by blowing a hole in the engineroom” of an Iranian-flagged cargo ship before seizing the vessel — marking the first known use of force under Washington’s naval blockade as Tehran threatens retaliation and critical ceasefire talks hang in the balance.

In a Truth Social post Sunday afternoon, Trump said the U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyer USS Spruance intercepted the vessel, identified as the Touska, in the Gulf of Oman after it attempted to breach the blockade, adding that “U.S. Marines have custody of the vessel” and are “seeing what’s on board.”

Video released Sunday evening by U.S. Central Command confirmed the encounter, showing repeated warnings issued over several hours, including an audio command ordering, “Vacate your engine room… we are prepared to subject you to disabling fire,” before the destroyer fired into the vessel’s engine compartment.

CENTCOM said the Touska was warned multiple times over a six-hour period while sailing toward Iran’s Bandar Abbas port before U.S. forces disabled its propulsion using the destroyer’s 5-inch MK 45 gun, after which Marines from the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit boarded and secured the vessel, which remains in U.S. custody.

The seizure marks the first known forcible interdiction since the blockade went into effect April 13, following the collapse of Pakistan-mediated talks, which U.S. officials said had already forced at least 25 vessels to turn back without incident.

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.
