Karmelo Anthony has been convicted of first-degree murder for the stabbing death of Austin Metcalf. Both were young men in high school at the time of the murder. Anthony’s conviction has triggered calls from progressives and black activists that the jury was racist, the parents of the dead boy are racist, and Karmelo should be free to spend his hundreds of thousands of GoFundMe dollars.

The imminent deal ensuring Iran will never have a nuclear weapon was “the whole purpose” of the war, President Donald Trump explained Thursday at a press briefing announcing that a peace agreement will likely be officially signed in the next few days.

“Just had a big day,” Pres. Trump told reporters, noting that the deal is “subject to finalization of documents” at a signing ceremony expected to take place in Europe, perhaps over the upcoming weekend.

The signing will immediately trigger the end to the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, the president said:

“The strait will officially open as soon as we sign, which could be soon, very soon, maybe, over the weekend, in Europe. I won’t be able to be there, but J.D. will be there, the vice president, and some other people.”

Progressive city council member Nithya Raman has advanced to a November runoff against Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, setting up an unexpected matchup between two Democrats and former political allies to run the struggling city of nearly four million people.

The outcome means Spencer Pratt, a Republican and former reality television personality from The Hills, is out of the running. His candidacy had drawn national attention because of his celebrity and willingness to challenge liberal governance in a city dominated by Democrats, but the buzz did not translate into enough votes to make the runoff.

Violence is wrong. This is what happens when a government ignores its citizens, sacrifices their security, and leaves them feeling like strangers in their own country. No one is surprised by the rage its failures ultimately provoke.

CBS:  Violent anti-immigration protests erupted in parts of Belfast on Tuesday evening with some masked demonstrators setting fire to a bus, cars, trash cans and homes. Far-right figures had called on social media for mass protests after a brutal stabbing attack the previous night in Northern Ireland’s capital.

A graphic video of the incident, showing a man slashing another man in the head and neck with a knife, spread quickly online earlier in the day. The Police Service of Northern Ireland detained and charged a Sudanese man in his 30s with attempted murder, possession of a knife in a public place and making threats to kill.

President Trump’s ongoing deportation campaign will continue after he signed the “Secure America Act.” The act funds both ICE and CPB through 2029, taking funding out of the hands of the courts and the Democrats altogether.

President Trump said, “We’ll give the heroes of ICE and Border Patrol […] the support and resources they need to defend our borders, protect our homeland and to keep America safe.. [The Democrats] want to drag us straight back to chaos and crime.”

President Donald Trump officially signed the “Secure America Act” on Wednesday, which is a $70 billion reconciliation bill to fund ICE and CBP through 2029.

Congress passed the bill largely along party lines with fierce opposition from Democrats. The bill was the last piece needed to fully fund the Department of Homeland Security, which faced a funding lapse from February until late April.

Thanks to four Republican Senators, efforts by the GOP to pass the SAVE Act failed once again. The Act would make Voter ID mandatory. Senator Lindsay Graham (R-SC) attempted to add it as an amendment to DHS funding bills, but the provision failed thanks to four GOP no votes.

A Republican effort to attach key election-integrity provisions to a major immigration enforcement funding package failed in the Senate after four GOP lawmakers joined Democrats to block the amendment.

The proposal, offered by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), would have added provisions from the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act to a nearly $70 billion budget reconciliation package focused on funding Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol operations.

The amendment sought to require proof of U.S. citizenship for voter registration, establish voter identification requirements, and implement additional election-security measures.

The Israeli ambassador to the United States is slamming Hezbollah’s rejection of a peace agreement between Israel and Lebanon, saying they are “trying to destroy that hope.”

“There was real hope at the negotiating table for a new chapter of security and peace,” Ambassador Yechiel Leiter wrote on X. “Hezbollah and Iran are trying to destroy that hope. They must not succeed.”

Hezbollah, the Lebanon-based, Iran-backed militant group, was not involved in the negotiations taking part in Washington over the last several days, though it is the one striking Israeli troops in southern Lebanon and northern Israel.

“Israel will defend its citizens,” Leiter wrote. “Lebanon deserves a future shaped by its government-not by an Iranian-backed terrorist organization.”

Adam Hamawy, a controversial candidate who previously volunteered with an al-Qaeda-linked group, has won the Democratic primary for retiring Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman’s (D-NJ) seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Hamawy, who was endorsed by the so-called “Squad,” became a lightning rod for criticism on the campaign trail due to his intense criticism of Israel and his having volunteered with the Benevolence International Foundation in Bosnia, per the New York Post:

An Iraq War veteran, Hamawy has made national headlines for saving Sen. Tammy Duckworth’s (D-Ill) life after a helicopter crash as well as for his volunteer work in the Gaza Strip.

For months, the loudest voices in artificial intelligence—including OpenAI’s Sam Altman and Anthropic’s Dario Amodei—warned that entry-level white-collar jobs were headed for extinction. In recent weeks, both have walked back those statements.

And according to Cognizant CEO Ravi Kumar S., who oversees a workforce of more than 350,000 employees, the outcry wasn’t just a prediction gone wrong—it was fearmongering.

“There was a little bit of fearmongering from reading about the fact that there’s going to be a collapse of jobs,” Kumar said at Fortune’s COO Summit in Scottsdale, Arizona on Monday. “I think there will be more jobs.”

The British police arrived on a bloody scene in Hampshire, England. An Englishman, Henry Nowak, aged 18, had been stabbed by a Sikh man. The man accused Henry of being racist, so the police arrested the young man, not the Sikh who stabbed him.

The young man bled out while trying to convince the police he wasn’t a racist. The Sikh has already been found guilty of the murder. The police apologized for letting the young man bleed to death because they were afraid he might be racist.

A Sikh man who claimed to have been the victim of a racist attack has been found guilty of murder for the slaying of student Henry Nowak, the death of whom became notorious after it was revealed he was handcuffed by police and ignored while he bled to death.

A murderer who lied to police about having repeatedly stabbed a teenager, and covered for himself by telling a “wicked lie” about his victim having committed racist abuse against him, has been found guilty by a jury at Southampton Crown Court in Hampshire, England this afternoon. Police welcomed the conviction, but also apologised for having believed the knifeman’s lies, meaning Anglo-Polish victim Henry Nowak’s last conscious moments were spent handcuffed explaining that he’d been stabbed, while being told he was making it up.

After the guilty verdict was read out, it was revealed an anti-“two tier policing” protest had been called for Thursday night outside Southampton Central Police Station over the force’s reflexive instinct to believe the racism accusation while ignoring the factual stabbing report.

The jury of eight women and four men started their deliberations at lunchtime on Wednesday and found 23-year-old Vickrum Digwa guilty of murder on Thursday afternoon. Digwa was also found guilty of carrying a knife in a public place. Digwa’s mother, Kiran Kaur was also found guilty on her charge of assisting an offender by removing the murder weapon from the scene and stashing it at their family home.

The BBC reports Digwa showed no emotion as the jury reported, that Kaur was “visibly upset”, and that “sobs” could be heard from the public gallery.

Killer Digwa will be sentenced on Monday, the judge said. Mother Kaur’s sentencing is to be delayed until July 17th to allow the preparation of a pre-sentencing report, reports Sky News.

As previously reported, Nowak and Digwa met by chance in the city of Southampton on December 3rd 2025. The court heard that accountancy and finance student Nowak had been out socialising with friends from his student football team and had consumed alcohol that evening but at his time of death was not intoxicated and could have legally driven a car.

Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barret was swatted, according to a report by the Fairfax County Police in Virgina. Police say they responded to a call around 9pm on Wednesday May 27. Fortunately for Barrett, the protocol in this situation for local police is to contact the security assigned to protect Barrett. They quickly affirmed the call was a hoax.
