Did anyone ask the King how Dianna died?

Trump saying the King gave a beautiful speech, is what he does when he can’t say the truth. I thought the King was boring, arrogant and he still thinks England ruled America.

It’s obvious to anyone, his humor was not humor in any way. He couldn’t insult Trump or America enough, and Trump didn’t respond. I’m sure the king flew away, knowing his “Royal Heinous”, didn’t win the war or warnings over our leader and Country. There’s no reason for him to come again, and the City of London is probably pretty pissed.

It’s amazing, how thoroughly boring the king asshole is.

North Korea Confirms Suicide Rule for Soldiers Ukraine Captures

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un confirmed a policy that requires soldiers to commit suicide on the battlefield to avoid capture,while fighting Russia’s war against Ukraine.

Speaking at an event to inaugurate a memorial in Pyongyang for North Koreans who have died in action,Kim twice mentioned soldiers who had “self-blasted,” according to a report by the official Korean Central News Agency.

“Heroes who unhesitatingly opted for self-blasting, suicide attack, in order to defend the great honor” were praised by Kim in the speech given to bereaved families and top Russian officials.

“They did not expect any compensation, though they performed distinguished feats,” he added. “They died a heroic death.”

Kim signed a military pact with Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2024 that included a mutual defense provision. South Korean and Western intelligence agencies have since estimated Pyongyang has sent at least 10,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of containers of weapons to help Russia fight Ukraine. The North is believed to have suffered heavy casualties, with thousands killed in action.

The disclosure by Kim this week follows reports that North Korean troops captured by Ukraine were required to kill themselves to avoid becoming a prisoner of war. Those accounts cited both Ukrainian intelligence and a captured North Korean soldier.

North Korea has also ramped up weapons tests this year, including of shorter-range ballistic missiles, and test-fired its new sea-to-surface weapons system. That comes amid growing concerns over the country’s army gaining real combat experience from fighting alongside Russia.

Earlier this month, Pyongyang said it has tested multiple Hwasong-11 missiles — a short-range missile type also known as KN-23 or KN-24 — which Ukraine has said Pyongyang supplied to Moscow for use in its war against Kyiv.

Amazon Eyes ‘Apprentice’ Reboot With Donald Trump Jr. at the Helm

Fourteen seasons after Donald Trump first told contestants they were fired, Amazon execs are reportedly exploring whether his eldest son can breathe new life into the franchise.

BY CARLY THOMAS, ALEX WEPRIN

It looks like The Apprentice might be making a comeback.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Amazon is discussing a potential reboot of The Apprentice, the reality TV show once hosted by Donald Trump before he went into politics and became the president of the United States.

Talks are reportedly in the early stages, as the reboot isn’t in active development, and the Trump family hasn’t been approached about the idea yet. People close to the matter also told the WSJ that Amazon executives have suggested internally that Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., could potentially serve as the host of the reboot.

When The Hollywood Reporter reached Amazon for comment, a spokesperson shared in a statement, “Since our acquisition of MGM, we have had preliminary internal discussions about what’s next for The Apprentice as a property. The show is not in active development, and any reporting on details of the show or names of potential hosts would be purely speculative.”

THR also reached out to the White House for comment.

Trump hosted the reality show for 14 seasons, from 2004 to 2015. The Apprentice followed contestants as they competed for a job as an apprentice to the businessman.

Amazon co-owns the rights to The Apprentice alongside Trump’s production company, Trump Productions. While the show aired on NBC, it was produced by Trump Productions and Mark Burnett Productions, which MGM bought in 2014. Amazon, of course, has since acquired MGM.

While the show has been out of production for more than a decade, Amazon has been streaming reruns of the program, and the show has, over the years, been sold into syndication and syndicated streaming

According to a copy of Trump’s financial disclosures, which were viewed by THR, the show still generates six figures of annual income for him, with royalties of between $100,000 and $1,000,000 in 2024. That figure does not include the value of the show itself, which Trump’s form says is “not readily ascertainable.”

Amazon MGM previously teamed up with the Trump family when it acquired the documentary, Melania, for $40 million and spent another $35 million on a global marketing campaign for the film. The movie has grossed $16.6 million, after opening to a better-than-expected $7.2 million in January.

(It sounds like Amazon is more interested in making money, instead of banning Trump.)

US Five-eyes first-ever hypersonic Dark Eagle deployment as Iran pushes beyond strike range

The Army began fielding the long-range system to a multidomain task force in December 2025 after years of delays

April 30, 2026 12:54pm EDT

President Trump declares there will 'never be a deal' unless Iran abandons its nuclear ambitions as he reportedly weighs options like a potential special forces missions to secure the enriched uranium.

The U.S. military has explored deploying its new Dark Eagle hypersonic weapon to the Middle East, according to a report, as the Army begins fielding the long-range system after years of delays.

U.S. Central Command has requested deployment of the Army’s Long Range Hypersonic Weapon, known as Dark Eagle, to the Middle East, according to a Bloomberg report citing a person with direct knowledge of the matter.

A defense official told Fox News Digital the system has reached initial operational capability, marking the first time the U.S. has a land-based hypersonic weapon available for potential use.

The request was driven in part by concerns that Iranian ballistic missile launchers have been moved beyond the range of existing U.S. systems, including the Army’s Precision Strike Missile, which can strike targets more than 300 miles away, according to the Bloomberg report.

It reflects growing concern that existing U.S. strike capabilities may not be sufficient to reach key Iranian missile assets,while also highlighting a major milestone for the Army as it fields its first land-based hypersonic weapon. If deployed, Dark Eagle would significantly expand the U.S. military’s ability to strike distant, hard-to-reach targets with little warning, marking a shift in how the Pentagon can project power in the region.

The Army began fielding the system to one of its multidomain task forces in December 2025 following testing and live-fire exercises, according to the official, placing the weapon within specialized units designed to carry out long-range precision strikes across multiple domains.

Individual Dark Eagle missiles are estimated to cost around $15 million each, though earlier analyses have placed the cost significantly higher, while a single battery — including launchers and support equipment — is estimated at roughly $2.7 billion.

No deployment of the system to the Middle East has been publicly announced, and officials have not confirmed any request. The U.S. and Iran are still currently adhering to a ceasefire in hopes of broader negotiations on Iran's nuclear program.

Dark Eagle is designed to travel at hypersonic speeds while maneuvering in flight, allowing it to strike targets at much longer ranges — potentially exceeding 1,700 miles — and with far less warning than traditional missiles.

That combination of speed and range makes it particularly suited for targeting mobile or hardened systems, such as missile launchers, that are difficult to reach with existing weapons.

Unlike traditional ballistic missiles, hypersonic weapons can maneuver in flight, making them more difficult to track and intercept.

The reported request comes as the Pentagon continues efforts to accelerate its hypersonic weapons programs amid concerns about competition with China and Russia.

China and Russia already have fielded hypersonic systems, underscoring the growing importance of weapons designed to travel at extreme speeds while maneuvering in flight, making them more difficult to detect and intercept.

"Fielding and scaling hypersonic weapons is a top priority for the War Department — and we are delivering at a rapid speed," a Pentagon official told Fox News Digital. "'Scaled hypersonics' has been designated as one of the Department’s critical technology areas by Chief Technology Officer Emil Michael to focus resources on delivering cost-effective and lethal hypersonic solutions to the warfighter."

"The Department’s Test Resource Management Center (TRMC) is working to upgrade test facilities and establish new, nontraditional testing locations," the official said. "Simultaneously, the Department is placing its acquisition system on a ‘wartime footing’ to forge a robust, responsive industrial base capable of rapidly delivering these advanced technologies."

Liberal city removes anti-crime signs to be more inclusive: ‘Just insane’

The Democrat-dominated city councilvoted unanimously to remove neighborhood watch signs it said 'reinforce biased surveillance'

(They’ve got to pot smokers)

Democrat-dominated Ann Arbor is raising eyebrows and garnering widespread mockery for removing all of its anti-crime watch signs across the city to be more "inclusive."

The move even prompted a New York City Council member, Republican Vickie Paladino, to say,"They’re just insane."

The Michigan city announced on Tuesday that, at the direction of the City Council, it completed the citywide removal of more than 600 neighborhood watch signs. In a statement, the city explained that"removing the signs aligns the city’s environment with its commitment to inclusive, evidence-based public safety."(so they invite more crime)

The decision to remove the signs was made in a unanimous 10-0 City Council vote in December, according to local outlet The Midwesterner. The city said the move is "fostering trust, belonging and welcoming neighborhoods for all residents and visitors."

Ann Arbor Mayor Christopher Taylor, a Democrat, further explained the decision in an official video released by the city and set to music. Taylor said that "Frankly, neighborhood watch signs are expressions of exclusion."

The resolution to remove the signs passed by the City Council read that the neighborhood watch programs "were often rooted in assumptions about who did and did not ‘belong’ in a neighborhood, reinforcing race-based hyper-vigilance and suspicion particularly toward Black, Brown, and other marginalized residents and visitors," according to The Midwesterner.

In its statement, the city called the neighborhood watch program "defunct," saying that it emerged "during a period of national anxiety about crime and social change."

"Such signage," the city said, "does not reduce crime and can reinforce biased surveillance."

Local outlet MLive reported in January that the City Council set aside $18,000 for the removal of the signs. The outlet reported that city officials revealed that removing signs that aren’t traffic-related did not qualify for street funding, and because there were no funds available in the police budget, the city had to draw from its cash reserves.

In a video released after the last sign was finally removed this week, the mayor doubled down, saying the signs are "inconsistent with our values" and that "Ann Arbor is a welcoming community. We don’t want to push people. We want to welcome folks in."

n the same video, Ann Arbor City Council memberJen Eyer, also a Democrat, said the neighborhood watch program "hearkens back to a time when public safety was about exclusion, was about monitoring and surveilling who belonged in a neighborhood and who did not."

"That is not how we do public safety in Ann Arbor today," she said. "And we don’t want our signage to message to people who are visiting that they don’t belong, because they do."

Taylor, Eyer and another City Council member participated in a ceremonial removal of the city’s final neighborhood crime watch sign.

The move was widely mocked online.

BREAKING: Brian Harpole — Charlie Kirk's chief of security — has filed a defamation lawsuit against Candace Owens and her source Mitchell Snow.

Owens publicly accused Harpole of conspiring with the U.S. military at Fort Huachuca to assassinate Charlie Kirk, alongside Erika Kirk, Rep. Mark Amodei, and Cabot Phillips.

Her own words promoting the story:

"Charlie Kirk was assassinated and our military was involved. I can't wait to share this information with you guys."

The story rested entirely on Mitchell Snow, who claimed he "inadvertently" walked into a top-secret meeting at the Army base on September 9, 2025 — the day before the assassination — where Harpole and twelve lieutenant colonels were allegedly finalizing the plot to assassinate Charlie Kirk.

Per the complaint, the claim is verifiably false:

→ Harpole was in Dallas that morning.

→ He has never been to Fort Huachuca.

→ Owens had his flight records — she admitted as much on X — yet kept publishing anyway.

From the complaint: "Without even a modicum of substantiated evidence, she has publicly accused Harpole of foreknowledge, participation in, and cover-up of the assassination of Charlie Kirk."(I thought she blamed on Israel? Is she really losing her mind now.)

Trump signs executive order expanding retirement account access for workers

PUBLISHED THU, APR 30 2026

KEY POINTS

• President Donald Trump ordered the launch of a new website, TrumpIRA.gov, where workers can research, compare and enroll in private-sector retirement plans.

• Trump floated the idea of expanding access to retirement accounts for employees without workplace plans during his State of the Union address in February.

• Trump’s accounts will integrate with the Saver’s Match, worth up to $1,000 per year for eligible taxpayers.

• Roughly 56 million Americans lack access to an employer-sponsored retirement plan at work, according to 2025 research from the Pew Charitable Trusts, an independent public policy nonprofit.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday to create a new way to save for retirement for workers who don’t currently have access to a 401(k) or another workplace plan.

Trump ordered the launch of a new website next year, TrumpIRA.gov, where workers could research, compare and enroll in private-sector IRA accounts through which, if eligible, they could collect a matching contribution from the federal government.

“You’ll then be able to access the same type of retirement accounts that federal employees enjoy through the Thrift Savings Plans, which are incredible, as part of the federal Saver’s Match program,” Trump said at a White House press conference. “Low-income Americans will be eligible to receive up to $1,000 per year in matching funds deposited directly into their accounts.”

The president initially floated the idea of expanding access to retirement accounts for employees without workplace plans during his State of the Union address in February.

Roughly 56 million Americans lack access to an employer-sponsored retirement plan at work, according to 2025 research from the Pew Charitable Trusts, an independent public policy nonprofit.

Trump’s order will be integrated with the Saver’s Match, a provision from 2022 legislation known as Secure 2.0. The Saver’s Match goes into effect in tax year 2027.

Under those rules, single taxpayers with a modified adjusted gross income of up to $20,500 or joint filers making up to $41,000 qualify for a government match worth 50% of up to a $2,000 contribution to a qualified retirement account, for a maximum match of $1,000 a year. Single filers with annual incomes of between $20,500 and $35,500 qualify for reduced matching contributions. Joint filers making up to $71,000 can qualify for a reduced match.

In 2025,the Morningstar model of retirement outcomes projected that Americans eligible for the match would receive a 12% boost to their wealth in retirement.

About 26 million full- and part-time workers who qualify for a full or partial version of the Saver’s Match don’t have access to a plan where they can collect the benefit, according to the Economic Innovation Group, a bipartisan public policy organization.

“Establishing a universal retirement system to companion with Social Security was always needed, and its time has come,” said Teresa Ghilarducci, a professor at The New School who co-authored 2021 research with National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett on providing low-income workers with retirement savings similar to the Thrift Savings Plan.

Legislation ‘critical as part of the conversation’

The executive order instructs the White House to work with Congress to propose legislation that will make both the coverage and the savings credit larger. “To take it to the next level, we need congressional approval, which should be very easy to get. It should be bipartisan,” Trump said during the signing.

While the currently proposed match applied to individuals with incomes below $35,000, Hassett said during the press conference that the administration is seeking legislation to expand the plan to even more Americans.

Legislation would “make this effort stickier, because it’ll be a congressional action, not just from a president,” Ghilarducci said.

The call for Congress to build on the newly announced program is likely to be “really important and well received,” said Shai Akabas, vice president of economic policy at the Bipartisan Policy Center, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank.

The Saver’s Match is a step in the right direction to getting more low- to moderate-income people who don’t have access to employer-sponsored plans to save, Akabas said.The initiative could give people more information and easier channels to set up an account, he said.

Trump signs DHS funding bill, ending shutdown for most of agency, including TSA

PUBLISHED THU, APR 30 2026

KEY POINTS

• President Donald Trump signed a bill to reopen most of the Department of Homeland Security on the brink of emergency funding running out to pay workers.

• The House on Thursday voted to fund most of the Department of Homeland Security, effectively ending the partial government shutdown that began in February.

• Immigration and Customs Enforcement and part of Customs and Border Protection remain unfunded.

President Donald Trump on Thursday signed a bill to fund most of the Department of Homeland Security, effectively ending the partial government shutdown that began in February.

The U.S. House had approved the measure hours earlier following White House warnings that emergency funding for DHS would run out as soon as Friday.

The funding bill’s passage comes after more than a month of House Republican opposition to the plan, which advanced unanimously out of the Senate in late March.

“Speaker Johnson extended the DHS shutdown for over a month for no reason at all. This is the same bill the Senate unanimously passed five weeks ago,” Senate Appropriations Chair Patty Murray, D-Wash., said in a statement.

The bill wards off the potential for more missed paychecks to Transportation Security Administration agents, whose lack of pay earlier this year caused long lines at airports throughout the country.…

In Deep Blue California, a G.O.P.-Backed Voter ID Proposal Makes the Ballot

A Republican-backed initiative has cleared the signature threshold for the November election. Critics say the measure could make it harder for people to vote.

(NYT’s is pissed)

A Republican-backed proposal in California to create new voter identification requirements and citizenship audits is set to appear on the ballot in November, part of a nationwide G.O.P. push to tighten voting laws.

The proposal would require voters to bring identification to the polls and provide an ID number when voting by mail. It would also require local officials to regularly check voter rolls to help ensure that only U.S. citizens are registered.

The effort in a heavily Democratic state comes as President Trump and other Republicans at the state and federal levels are trying to create stricter voting regulations through a range of new initiatives, even as documented cases of voter fraud, including voting by noncitizens, are exceedingly rare.

The California secretary of state, Shirley N. Weber, said Friday that a petition to put the measure on the ballot in her state had cleared the threshold, about 875,000 signatures, required for such initiatives to go before voters.

Assemblyman Carl DeMaio, a San Diego Republican who has led the push, said Saturday that the new requirements would help secure the election system and give people “a sense of confidence and trust that only people who are eligible are voting in our elections.”

But Democrats and voting rights advocates say that strict ID rules could make it harder for people to vote, particularly people of color and low-income voters. Jenny Farrell, executive director of the League of Women Voters of California, said that California’s elections are “very secure.” She argued that the proposal would make voting harder for Californians and waste resources on a “problem that doesn’t exist.”

California voters already must provide information such as a birth date, driver’s license or Social Security number when they register to vote. The ballot measure proposes also requiring voters to provide government-issued ID at the polls. Voters using mail-in ballots, the most popular option for voting in California in recent elections, would need to provide a government-issued identification number when voting.

Richard Hasen, an election law expert at the University of California, Los Angeles,said most people who wish to vote have some form of identification, but that the proof-of-citizenship provisions could put a significant new burden on election officials.

Thirty-six states require voters to present some form of identification at the polls, but California is not one of them.

A group aligned with Mr. DeMaio that backed the initiative, Californians for Voter ID, said it collected more than 1.3 million signatures in five months. The group received nearly $9 million in donations last year, according to state campaign finance filings. Donors included the billionaire twins Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, who are allies of Mr. Trump; and Nicole Shanahan, who was Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s running mate in the 2024 presidential election, the records show.

The battle over voting laws extends well beyond California.Last month Republican state lawmakers in Florida passed a bill requiring voters to verify their citizenship when registering.

And in recent months, Mr. Trump has demanded that lawmakers in Congress pass a bill before the midterm elections that would force voters to prove their citizenship in person upon registration, ban the use of IDs without a photo at polling places and criminalize failures to enforce such requirements. But the bill, the SAVE America Act, has shown little chance of advancing.

(How can America based News not want and Id to vote. If the NYTs is incorporated outside the U.S., they should be banned in the U.S.)

NEW: I’m told by federal sources that a Dominican illegal alien with a deportation order & an Interpol Red Notice arrest warrant for murder in his home county was ordered released from ICE custody on Tuesday by Rhode Island federal judge Melissa DuBose (Biden appointee). I’m told that international fugitive Bryan Rafael Gomez was arrested by ICE Boston in Worcester, MA on April 4th, and had been detained in a facility in Rhode Island where he was issued a deportation order on April 28th by an immigration judge.

On Tuesday, I’m told Judge DuBose ordered Gomez be released from ICE custody on the grounds of “continuous unlawful detention”, while ICE argued that Gomez was subject to mandatory detention due to having an international arrest warrant for homicide.

I’m told Gomez was released, is now roaming freely again, and ICE can’t rearrest him due to Judge DuBose’s order. He was caught and released at the southern border by the Biden administration in 2022.

Trump says Iran ‘dying to make a deal’, Tehran calls US blockade intolerable

Summary

• President Donald Trump said Iran “badly” wants a deal with the United States and questioned how long Tehran's economy can hold out, citing what he called its disastrous economy and mounting pressure from US military action and the naval blockade.

• Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Thursday denounced the US naval blockade as an “extension of military operations” against Iran, calling its continuation “intolerable.”

• US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Thursday the Trump administration does not currently need congressional authorization for military action against Iran, arguing that the ceasefire has paused or stopped the 60-day deadline under the War Powers Resolution.

• Israel's defense minister said on Thursday the country may soon need to act again to ensure the achievement of its goals."

• President Donald Trump is expected to receive updated military options on Iran from Pentagon officials Thursday, though there was little sign his reluctance to resume US bombing was fading, according to CNN.

•Iran's Judiciary on Thursday executed a 21-year-old karate athlete who had been arrested during January protests. The UN says at least 21 people had been executed and more than 4,000 arrested in Iran since the war began, many linked to the protets.

• Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei called the presence of American forces “the main source of insecurity” in the Middle East, saying that the future of the region would be free of US presence. ‌‌‌He also vowed to protect Iran's missile and nuclear capabilities. (The guy is still dead, no one has seen him)

• US President Donald Trump told Axios that he would keep Iran under a naval blockade until Tehran agreed to a deal, calling the blockade “somewhat more effective than the bombing.”

US treats Iran war as reset under ceasefire, avoids Congress approval - AP

The Trump administrationargued that the war in Iran is being treated as having its War Powers “clock reset” under the ceasefire that began in early April, a position that could allow the White House to avoid seeking congressional approval for continued military action, the Associated Press reported.

The argument was outlined by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth during Senate testimony on Thursday, when he said the ceasefire effectively paused the conflict.

Under that interpretation, the administration has not triggered the 1973 War Powers Resolution requirement to seek congressional approval for military action extending beyond 60 days.

A senior administration official, speaking anonymously,said that for the purposes of the law, “the hostilities… have terminated,” adding that there have been no exchanges of fire between US forces and Iran since the ceasefire began on April 7.

The official said the US military and Iran have not engaged directly since then, despite the ceasefire being extended.

Israel deployed laser defense system to UAE against Iran threats - FT

Israel sent advanced defense systems, including a laser interceptor, to the United Arab Emirates to help counter Iranian missiles and drones, according to a report by the Financial Times.

The report said the deployment marked one of the first major examples of defense cooperation between the two countries since the Abraham Accords.

Citing people familiar with the matter, the report said Israel provided a version of its Iron Beam laser system, designed to intercept short-range rockets and drones, as well as a surveillance system capable of detecting incoming drones.

The systems were deployed alongside Israel’s Iron Dome air defense system and operated with the assistance of Israeli personnel, the report said.
