Rudy Giuliani's heartbreaking health diagnosis revealed as business partner admits

next 24 hours are critical: 'Today is an important day'

 

The 81-year-old held a livestream on his Facebook page on Friday night during which he could be heard coughing.

 

As it started, he said: 'My voice is a little under the weather, so I won't be able to speak as loudly as I usually do.'

 

President Trump called Giuliani a 'True Warrior' in a post on Truth Social Sunday evening, claiming he was 'the best mayor in the history of New York City, by far.'

 

'What a tragedy that he was treated so badly by the Radical Left Lunatics, Democrats all - and he was right about everything! They cheated on the Elections, fabricated hundreds of stories, did anything possible to destroy our Nation, and now, look at Rudy. So sad!'

 

Rudy Giuliani, 81, in critical condition as Trump shares sorrow at 'tragedy'

 

Giuliani famously campaigned with Trump and a group of Republicans to overturn the 2020 election results, citing unverified fraud that later opened him up to defamation suits he settled in court.

 

'Mayor Rudy Giuliani was the most transformative figure in the history of NY City politics,' Former Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino wrote.

 

'He pulled off an economic and public safety miracle in a relatively short amount of time, and the city rose from the dead. I worked for the NYPD during the end of his second term. It was the honor of a lifetime.'

 

Giuliani mostly recently chimed in on remarks made by comedian Jimmy Kimmel prior to the shooting at the White House Correspondents' dinner.

 

Kimmel joked that the First Lady Melania Trump had a ‘glow like an expectant widow,' which sparked fury from the First Lady and the White House after the shooting.

 

Giuliani also gave his two cents, calling Kimmel an ‘incompetent jackass,' to which Kimmel responded, saying Giuliani ‘rose from the grave to weigh in on the ongoing drama.'

 

In November of last year Giuliani was pardoned by Trump, among other Republicans, for his role in trying to overturn the election against President Biden. …

Iran launches onslaught of missiles and drones in fiery revenge attack on Trump ally after US military move

Iran launched four missiles at a US-backed Middle Eastern ally on Monday and blew up a major oil port, following Donald Trump's move to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

 

The United Arab Emirates issued a missile alert on Monday morning, the first since the fragile ceasefire between the US and Iran was announced last month.

 

The UAE's Defense Ministry said it intercepted three missiles, while a fourth 'fell into the sea.' An official noted that the country's air defenses 'are currently dealing with missile attacks and incoming drones from Iran.'

 

Tehran's decision to launch these attacks officially resumes hostilities between Iran and the US in the Middle East.

 

Authorities also announced that a massive fire broke out at the Fujairah Oil Industry Zones on Monday following a drone attack from Iran. Rescue teams were deployed to contain the inferno, Reuters reports.

 

A senior US official said that US warships and aircraft protected several commercial vessels from Iranian attacks earlier on Monday, according to the Wall Street Journal. Sources said an Iranian drone successfully struck an Marshall Islands-linked oil vessel named the JV Innovation while it was attempting to move through the strait.

 

US warships responded to the cruise missile fire by sinking six small Iranian boats, Central Command told reporters. The number of casualties from the Iranian attacks remains unclear.

 

The ongoing military aggression from Iran comes after Trump's announcement that the US military would begin escorting stranded oil vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway that handles one-fifth of the world's oil transport.

 

The Daily Mail has contacted the White House for comment.

 

Trump responded to Iran's aggression by claiming it would be 'blown off the face of the earth' if the regime attacks US ships guiding vessels in the strait.

 

Trump launched an effort on Monday to guide commercial tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, where hundreds have been stuck since the Iran war began on February 28.

 

Tehran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) responded by warning that any ship found violating the regime's maritime rules will be stopped by force.

 

US Central Command later confirmed the Navy would help commercial ships transit the Strait of Hormuz under an operation dubbed 'Project Freedom,' advising them on how to avoid mines and protecting them from Iranian attacks.

 

The uncertainty over control of the strait comes as two US-flagged vessels have successfully passed through waterway, the US military said on Monday.

 

The closure of the strait has driven gas prices to some of their highest levels since 2022, averaging $4.40 a gallon, up 30 cents in a week.

 

'Project Freedom' will reportedly include a vast number of guided-missile destroyers, drones, more than 100 land and sea-based aircraft, and the infantry support of 15,000 troops, CENTCOM announced.

 

Another US official told Axios that military officers have been authorized to strike immediate threats to naval assets, including Iran's speedboats.

 

Iran has managed to effectively close off the Strait of Hormuz in recent months through a combination of small attack boats, drones, and sea mines laid in the narrow waterway.

 

US forces have also established an 'enhanced security area' that advises oil vessels to cross the waterway through Omani waters.

 

However, vessel traffic remains at a standstill, with most ships transiting Hormuz using the Iranian traffic separation scheme rather than Trump's "Project Freedom" corridor closer to Oman.

250 Years: Old North Church Is the Living Story of America

Best known for its role in the American Revolution, the Christ Church in the City of Boston is still home to a thriving Episcopal congregation.

 

The American Revolution started in a church.

 

Two lanterns in the steeple of Boston’s Old North Church signaled the movement of British troops on April 18, 1775, providing early warning for the Patriots.

 

Our celebration of America’s 250th anniversary would be incomplete without some mention of this historic house of worship, which now welcomes more than half a million visitors each year as a National Historical Landmark.

 

But the Old North Church is not merely a museum. It’s a living, breathing Christian congregation and the oldest Episcopal church in the city.

 

Its story did not begin or end with the exploits of its Patriot members. This is a generational saga of perseverance in the face of challenge, adaptation to continual change, and, above all, unwavering fidelity to the vision of its founders.

 

It is a story of faith and a story of liberty. The story of Old North Church is the story of America.

 

Prosperous Colonies, Flourishing Faith

Old North Church, formally known as Christ Church, was created by growth in the British Province of Massachusetts Bay and its principal city, Boston.

By 1723, when the church was founded, the region had been inhabited by colonists for more than 100 years. King’s Chapel, the first Anglican church in Boston, was bursting at the seams.

 

Christ Church was established to accommodate the expansion of the city and its body of Anglican worshipers. The Rev. Dr. Timothy Cutler dedicated the church with the biblical vision to be “a House of Prayer for all people.”

 

The church continued to grow along with the country, which was in the midst of a religious revival that came to be known as the Great Awakening.

 

English minister Charles Wesley, who had founded Methodism in Britain along with his brother John Wesley, preached at Christ Church multiple times in 1736 during a speaking tour of the colonies.

 

Christ Church is located in Boston’s well-to-do North End and drew wealthy merchants and sea captains as well as farmers and sailors. Some freedmen and some enslaved blacks worshiped at Christ Church, too, as slavery was still legal in the British colonies.

 

While people of color were welcome to attend services, they were relegated to the second-level gallery. Wealthier members, some of whom were slaveholders, purchased reserved pews on the main level.

 

The congregation added a steeple in 1740, making Christ Church the tallest structure in Boston at the time. Ten years later, a 15-year-old Paul Revere became a bell ringer at the church.

 

Loyalists and Patriots

The late 1700s were marked by political tension in the increasingly prosperous British colonies. Patriots agitated for independence. Tories were loyal to the crown.

 

Christ Church contained both.

 

Robert Newman, the church sexton, was a Patriot. He sat in a pew on the east side of one aisle. Gen. Thomas Gage, commander of the British forces in Boston, sat on the west side.

 

The political tensions reached a breaking point when British forces prepared to move on a colonial arsenal in the town of Concord.

 

Mather Byles, the loyalist pastor, resigned on April 18, 1775.

 

That night, Newman and John Pulling Jr., another church leader, lit the famous lanterns in the church steeple.

 

That was just the beginning of the church’s role in the war.

 

Two months later, Gage watched the Battle of Bunker Hill from the church steeple. His trusted subordinate, Maj. John Pitcairn, was fatally wounded in the fighting. Pitcarin, also a member of Christ Church, was buried in the church crypt.

 

The building served as a British military hospital during the hostilities, according to local lore.

 

Byles left for Nova Scotia in 1776. Others moved away, too, leaving only a handful of Christ Church families in Boston.

 

The church closed the day the lanterns were lit and remained closed for three years.

>250 Years: Old North Church Is the Living Story of America

New Country, New Church

Christ Church reopened in August 1778 after a former chaplain in the British army switched sides and swore allegiance to the United States. Prayers for the Continental Congress soon replaced prayers for the king in the church’s prayer book.

 

Yet when the war ended, little returned to normal for either the church or the fledgling nation.

 

The former colonies disagreed on how to form a government. Christ Church grappled with divisions too.

 

After the war, an influx of Huguenots nearly overwhelmed the weakened congregation, threatening a shift away from its historic expression of the Christian faith. But former members were returning in numbers great enough to maintain their Anglican traditions.

 

In 1789, Christ Church became part of the newly formed Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States, formalizing its break with the official church of England but maintaining its beliefs and worship practices.

 

Boston itself was changed by the war.

 

The North End had become home to many of the thousands of immigrants arriving in the country. Wealthier families relocated to Beacon Hill, leaving their old neighborhood one of the poorest in the city.

 

By 1803, Christ Church was in “a state of feebleness and depression,” a pastor later reported.

 

Urban Renewal

Fortunes changed for the church with the arrival of a new pastor in 1805.

 

The Rev. Dr. Asa Eaton led the church through a period of expansion—not among wealthy merchants but among the immigrants who provided labor for America’s growing industrialization.

 

Eaton started a Sunday school, which was open to young people of all denominations, including black students. In those days, Sunday schools were the only education available to many working people and focused on reading, writing, and arithmetic.

 

The church embraced the new ministry. The congregation formed the Fragment Society to provide suitable clothing for poor students. Children would pick up the clothing to wear on Sunday and return it on Monday.

 

When Christ Church celebrated its 100th anniversary in 1823, it was a congregation of about 500.

 

Eaton recorded more than 650 people baptized and 240 couples married between 1805 and 1823. More than 1,000 children attended the Sunday school in its first nine years, and more than 3,000 books were distributed.

 

“That same period has been marked by a corresponding growth in its members in the virtues and graces of the divine life,” Eaton told the congregation in his centennial sermon.

 

Ten years later, the once financially strapped congregation had enough funding to undertake an extensive renovation of its historic building.

Conflict and Attrition

Twenty-eight states were added to the Union during the 19th century. But the rapid expansion intensified the debate over slavery, which erupted into civil war in 1861.

 

The trajectory of Christ Church was similar.

 

Though the church had regained its footing, it, like the nation, had not come to grips with the issues of race and slavery.

 

In 1933, the church hosted Rev. William Levington, a black Episcopal minister from Baltimore. Levington was raising money for his church, which was also used as a school for black children.

 

Yet historians note that Levington may have been permitted to speak at Christ Church only on the strong recommendation of Eaton, the beloved pastor who had by then moved to another parish.

 

A newspaper announcement of the event noted that people of color would still be required to sit in the gallery.

 

When the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society sought meeting space in Boston churches in 1837, the leader of the Episcopal mission responded that Episcopal churches were to be used for religious purposes only.

 

He stated that although the anti–slavery clause was benevolent, it was political.

 

“The 19th century Episcopal Church never took a firm stance on slavery,” historian Jaimie D. Crumley said in a Feb. 24 video. “Perhaps the ministers believed that abolition was not a spiritual cause.”

 

The church sank into a period of decline. By 1843, Sunday attendance had slipped to 381. Factions within the church quarreled with one another, leading to a series of lawsuits in the 1850s.

 

Meanwhile, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s poem “Paul Revere’s Ride” was published in 1860, and the Old North Church gained national attention for its role in the Revolution as a result.

 

As the 20th century opened, the church’s condition mirrored that of 100 years before—dwindling in congregation numbers, financially challenged, and struggling to maintain an aging facility.

 

The church’s Sunday school closed in 1907, and its pastor, who found himself preaching to nearly empty pews, resigned. Some argued that the church should be closed and the building used exclusively as a historic site.

 

However in 1912, an Episcopal bishop stepped in to organize a renovation, raising more than $25,000 for the purpose.

 

Once again, the church found a way to carry on, organizing a hospitality society to provide entertainment and accommodations for soldiers and sailors.

Visitors and Worshipers

At the close of World War II, the presiding bishop faced a dilemma. Under the bylaws, the church was owned by the pew holders, of whom there were fewer than 40—and most attended other churches.

 

So in 1946, the bishop reorganized the congregation under a new constitution and bylaws. The bishop also made improvements to the building. The church could be toured by the public but would still be the congregation’s place of worship.

 

The federal government added Christ Church to the list of National Historical Landmarks in 1961.

 

President Gerald Ford visited Old North on the 200th anniversary of Revere’s ride—April 18, 1975. The president spoke of America as a great experiment.

 

“Over the decades, there were challenges to that experiment,” Ford said, speaking of the nation and, perhaps unknowingly, describing the church as well.

 

“Could a nation half-slave and half-free survive? Could a society with such a mixture of peoples and races and religions succeed? Would the new Nation be swallowed up in the materialism of its own well-being?”

 

The congregation of Christ Church grappled with those questions around the time of its 300th anniversary in 2023.

 

Longtime member Ann Sheets commented on the congregation’s journey, Vicar Matthew Caldwell reported at the time.

 

“Adaptation to changing times is a principle of our history, alongside our contribution to the nation and its development,” Sheets said.

 

“We have wrestled with what it means to be a symbol of freedom, knowing that many of our earliest members were far from free,” Caldwell said.

 

Today, the congregation is like many others, despite its fame as a historic site. On a Sunday, the pews may be filled, with perhaps half of the attendees being visitors.

 

In addition to Sunday worship, Christ Church conducts young adult and children’s ministries, holds Bible studies, and provides financial support and volunteers to charitable organizations.

 

“Through these ministries we grow in our understanding and practice of the Christian faith, deepen our worship experience and appreciation of the sacred, strengthen and support each other, and serve our neighbors nearby and across the world,” the church website states.

 

“Many find themselves and their story somewhere in our story,” Caldwell said.

 

“This majestic church has witnessed 300 years of history, of triumphs and struggles, of division and reconciliation, the evil of slavery, the lights of freedom and abundant, amazing grace.

 

“Through it all, we have endeavored to be a house of prayer for all people shining ever brighter as beacons of justice and light.”

Judge apologizes to Trump WHCD alleged shooter after he complained about mediocre jail conditions

 

A liberal federal judge in DC has sparked outrage after apologizing to Donald Trump's alleged would-be assassin for restrictions placed on him behind bars.

 

Cole Tomas Allen, 31, has been held in 24-hour lockup ever since he was placed in federal custody, after prosecutors say he attempted to gain access to the White House Correspondents' Association dinner to kill the President.

 

Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui slammed attorneys during a Monday afternoon court hearing over the conditions of Allen's imprisonment. Allen was placed on suicide watch when he was first jailed.

 

'At a minimum I should be apologizing to him. We are obligated to make sure he’s taken care of. Mr. Allen, I’m sorry that things have not been the way they are supposed to,' the judge said.

 

Faruqui went on to compare Allen's imprisonment to defendants arrest for rioting at the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

 

'To me, it’s extremely disturbing that he was put in five-point restraints, a person with no criminal history,' Faruqui added. 'It’s troubling. I never heard of one Jan. 6 defendant who was put in five-point restraints or in a safe cell. If the only way to keep him safe is the most punitive thing, that’s a problem.'

 

This is a developing story…

US sinks 6 small Iranian boats as Trump warns regime could be ‘blown off the face of the Earth’

US forces Monday sank six small Iranian boats deployed to harass vessels stuck in the Strait of Hormuz, shortly before President Trump warned that the Islamic Republic will be “blown off the face of the Earth” if it interferes with efforts to reopen the crucial waterway.

 

Adm. Brad Cooper, head of US Central Command (CENTCOM), told reporters in a press call that while Iran historically has deployed “between 20 and 40 small boats” to threaten commercial shipping in the strait, “Today, we saw just six and eliminated them quickly.”

 

“We have an enormous amount of capability and firepower concentrated in and around the strait, including AH-64 Apache and MH 60 Seahawk helicopters,” said Cooper, emphasizing that Iran’s military capability has been “dramatically degraded.”

 

Monday’s strikes occurred after Trump’s announcement Sunday evening of “Project Freedom,” a US initiative to move maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz since it has been backed up for months from the start of Operation Epic Fury Feb. 28.

 

Iran has warned it would resist any effort to force open the strait and insisted that any ships attempting to move through the waterway must coordinate with Tehran first, prompting Trump to tell Fox News that the Middle Eastern regime would be “blown off the face of the Earth” if it attacks US-flagged vessels.

 

“We have more weapons and ammunition at a much higher grade than we had before,” Trump told Fox News chief foreign correspondent Trey Yingst. “We have the best equipment. We have stuff all over the world. We have these bases all over the world. They’re all stocked up with equipment. We can use all of that stuff, and we will, if we need it.”

 

The president claimed that Iran has become “much more malleable” regarding peace talks that have stagnated since mid-April.

 

Cooper did not say whether America’s strikes on Iran’s fast-attack boats and Tehran’s claims that it fired at US warships constitute a collapse of the fragile cease-fire secured last month.

 

“I think the key thing for us is we’re merely there as a defensive force and to give a very thick layer of defense to commercial shipping to allow them to proceed out of the [Persian Gulf],” Cooper said.

 

There are hundreds of ships from about 87 countries stuck in the Persian Gulf, with CENTCOM reaching out to neutral ships to help offer them safe passage.

 

At least two US ships crossed the Strait of Hormuz on Monday, according to CENTCOM, a claim that Iran slammed as “baseless.”

 

It remains to be seen how many foreign ships take up CENTCOM’s offer to move through the strait, after a South Korean-used carrier reported an explosion and fire onboard when it attempted to cross the waterway.

 

The HMM Namu suffered a blast early Monday, with fire breaking out in the engine room of the Panama-flagged cargo ship, South Korea’s foreign ministry said.

 

Trump said the attack on the Namu should push Seoul, which has 26 ships trapped in the Gulf, to join the US in military operations to secure the strait.

 

“Perhaps it’s time for South Korea to come and join the mission!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

 

“Other than the South Korean Ship, there has been, at this moment, no damage going through the Strait,” he wrote, noting that military commanders will speak to reporters Tuesday about the operations.

 

Along with the South Korean ship, a United Arab Emirates oil tanker was targeted by an Iranian drone as it tried to cross the strait and caught fire, Abu Dhabi officials said.

Judge apologizes to White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting suspect Cole Allen over jail conditions

A DC federal judge apologized Monday to the man accused of trying to assassinate President Trump and members of his cabinet at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner for the restrictive conditions he’s been subjected to in jail.

 

US Magistrate Judge Zia M. Faruqui told Cole Allen, 31, he was sorry that the suspect had been held under suicide watch despite a mental health exam finding he didn’t pose a threat to harm himself, according to Politico.

 

Faruqui said it was the court’s job to make sure Allen was jailed responsibly and safely, adding that he was “being treated differently than anyone I’ve ever observed.”

 

Prosecutor Jocelyn Ballantine said the FBI recommended the measure because Allen told agents after his apprehension April 25 that “he did not expect to survive the attempted assassination of the president.”

 

Tony Towns, a lawyer for the DC lockup, said Allen was in the isolated cell because of “ongoing” psych exams and that the decision to keep him there was made by medical staff at the facility.

 

But Faruqui said he didn’t think Allen’s statement meant he planned to kill himself but rather that he expected to be shot during his assault on the black-tie soiree at the Washington Hilton hotel.

 

“Whatever you’ve been through, I apologize for the prior week,” the judge said, according to a report by USA Today.

 

Faruqui ordered the feds to update him by Tuesday evening about where Allen will be held going forward and said he’d need justification for any decision to tighten restrictions on him in jail.

 

“This is not the jail’s first go-around with people engaged in alleged political violence,” the jurist said, referring to the dozens of Trump supporters held there in the aftermath of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.

 

Allen’s lawyers had requested Monday’s hearing but asked for a cancelation Sunday, noting their client had been finally removed from suicide watch.

 

Judge Faruqui declined to scrap the hearing, citing “grave concerns” about Allen’s treatment.

 

Allen’s lawyers had claimed their client was “escorted to the shower,” stripped searched any time he came into or left his cell and was made to wear a padded vest.

 

“These conditions are excessive restrictions on his liberty that serve no justifiable purpose and deprive Mr. Allen of dignity while incarcerated,” Allen’s team wrote at the time.

 

The Torrance, Calif. native is charged with attempting to assassinate the president, transporting a firearm and ammunition across state lines with intent to commit a felony, and discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence.

 

He has yet to enter a plea and faces up to life in prison if convicted.

US says destroyed Iran boats

US forces destroyed six Iranian boats and shot down missiles and drones fired at US Navy and commercial vessels by Tehran’s military, a top US admiral said.

 

US Apache and Seahawk helicopters hit “six Iranian small boats threatening commercial shipping,” Admiral Brad Cooper, the head of US Central Command, told journalists.

 

US forces also “effectively engaged” all of the “missiles and drones that were fired at both us and the commercial ships,” Cooper said.

 

Tehran denied its boats were destroyed, saying: “The US claim that it sank a number of Iranian war boats is false.”

STRAIT SHOWDOWN: Trump's Project Freedom Puts Iran to the Ultimate Test

 

President Trump announces “Project Freedom,” directing the U.S. Navy to escort neutral-country ships through the Strait of Hormuz starting Monday and warning that interference will be attacked, while noting positive U.S.-Iran discussions and framing the move as a test of whether Iran’s negotiators control the IRGC. The episode argues Trump is using oil and gas to rebuild the U.S. economy and to displace London’s oil-pricing power, citing April 20 Presidential Determinations under the Defense Production Act, a National Energy Dominance Council led by Doug Burgum and Chris Wright, and rising U.S. production driving lower prices, a manufacturing revival, and a shrinking trade deficit. It contrasts this with post-1971 “petrodollar” strategy, OPEC shocks, “controlled disintegration,” and Iran-related destabilization, and claims modern media propaganda—from Lippmann to Operation Mockingbird to recent censorship networks—drives anti-Trump narratives.
