    Former Coast Guard Lieutenant Charged with Plot to Assassinate President Donald Trump

    Peter Stinson, a former U.S. Coast Guard officer, has been arrested in Virginia for allegedly issuing repeated threats against President Donald Trump over four years. This was revealed by court records cited by CBS News and NBC Washington.

    Stinson, who reportedly once trained emergency personnel for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), is accused of posting violent rhetoric aimed at Trump X and Bluesky between 2020 and 2024. In several instances, authorities say he made references to using firearms and even hinted at financially supporting or participating in violent acts.

    One social media post from April 2020 allegedly read: “Somebody ought to do more than sue him,” followed by a disturbing comment about a rifle and scope. In another, Stinson reportedly offered $100 “for a contract,” which prosecutors interpreted as suggesting a murder-for-hire plot.

    Court filings indicate that Stinson aligned himself with the Antifa movement and frequently engaged with posts critical of Trump. Following the recent attempt on Trump’s life in Pennsylvania, he allegedly posted further veiled references to the incident.

    Peter Stinson has not entered a plea. He remains in custody and will appear before a magistrate judge for a detention hearing on Wednesday.

  • Trump Accuses Harvard of ‘Judge Shopping’ And Threatens to Redirect $3 Billion Of Its Federal Grants to US Trade Schools

    Trump Accuses Harvard of ‘Judge Shopping’ And Threatens to Redirect $3 Billion Of Its Federal Grants to US Trade Schools

    President Donald Trump has renewed his attacks on Harvard University, accusing the school of “judge shopping” amid ongoing lawsuits with the administration. On Monday, Trump threatened to withdraw $3 billion in federal grants from Harvard.

    Trump criticized the university’s response to anti-Israel protests and suggested the funds be redirected to trade schools instead. Harvard President Alan Garber countered, telling NPR that cutting the funding would harm important government-backed research.

    “Federal grants support work the government requests,” Garber explained. “If the money is shifted, that work simply won’t happen.”

    The dispute escalates during Harvard’s spring commencement week, following a recent federal move to block Harvard from enrolling international students, about 27% of its student body. This block was quickly overturned by a judge after Harvard sued the administration.

    Additionally, Harvard University filed a lawsuit over the administration’s decision to freeze $2.2 billion in funding, which was later partially cut by another $450 million. The White House also threatened to revoke Harvard’s tax-exempt status amid the fight.

    U.S. District Judge Allison Dale Burroughs, who has previously ruled in favor of Harvard in high-profile cases, is overseeing the litigation. Trump criticized the university for choosing her, accusing it of seeking a favorable judge.

    The case is set for a hearing later this week, coinciding with Harvard’s graduation ceremonies near the federal courthouse.

  • Nike Set to Increase Prices on Various Products Starting This Week Amid Rising Tariffs, Reports Reveal

    Nike Set to Increase Prices on Various Products Starting This Week Amid Rising Tariffs, Reports Reveal

    In response to the increase in import tariffs, Nike plans to raise prices on a range of its U.S. products beginning June 1, 2025, per BBC. 

    Following the announcement of several tariffs by U.S. President Donald Trump, who claimed they would enhance American manufacturing and safeguard jobs, many companies that produce goods overseas have raised their prices, leading to higher costs for U.S. consumers.

    For those eyeing sneakers in the $100 to $150 range, brace yourself for an estimated $5 increase in price, according to Reuters. Anything over $150 could go up by as much as $10. Adult clothing and gear will also see a bump, somewhere between $2 and $10 depending on the item. Kids’ products, anything under $100, classic Air Force 1s, and some Jordan apparel won’t be affected.

    This price adjustment isn’t exclusive to Nike; other brands such as Adidas, Apple, and many more are also feeling the impact due to the new U.S. tariffs on imports from major manufacturing countries like Vietnam and China. Since Nike produces around 95% of its shoes overseas, it is especially impacted by these changes.

    Woman Charged After Reportedly Assaulting 72-Year-Old Trump Supporter Who Wore MAGA Hat

    A woman of Florida has been charged after allegedly assaulting a 72-year-old man wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat. 33-year-old Laura Garrett was apprehended on Tuesday by Largo Police. She faces charges for battery against an elderly person, battery on a police officer, and resisting an officer without violence, according to jail records, per Fox News.

    Garrett confessed to approaching the unidentified man at Northeast Park and Paw Place to discuss President #DonaldTrump and his support for him, according to an arrest affidavit from FOX 13 Tampa Bay. During their verbal disagreement, Garrett poured a drink on the man’s head and struck him with the can, although she denied striking him. She then hopped a fence and fled the scene.

    Officials later found Garrett and she allegedly resisted arrest, fighting with the officers. The arrest report says she dropped to the ground as they tried to handcuff her. When an officer attempted to escort her, she wrapped her legs around him, causing him to fall and bruise his knee, leading to another battery charge.

    Reports say she continued to resist the arrest. Garrett was booked into Pinellas County Jail on Tuesday evening but released on Wednesday night, says jail records.

  • Donald Trump Faces Backlash for Using Photos from Wrong Country as Evidence of ‘White Genocide’ in South Africa

    Donald Trump Faces Backlash for Using Photos from Wrong Country as Evidence of ‘White Genocide’ in South Africa

    President Donald Trump is facing criticism for allegedly providing false evidence of a “genocide” against white farmers in South Africa, per OK Magazine. A closer look revealed that the image he presented during a press briefing was actually taken in the Congo.

    In a press conference on Wednesday, May 21, alongside South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, Trump remarked, “The farmers are not Black. I’m not saying that’s good or bad, but the farmers are not Black. The people are being killed in large numbers, and you saw all of those gravesites.” 

    To support his claims, Trump shared reports alleging violence throughout the country. However, it turned out that the photos he used were not from South Africa at all. Trump displayed a printout from the website American Thinker, which allegedly supported his assertions. However, the blog post contained a screenshot from a YouTube video showing a response by Red Cross workers to incidents of mass rape and murder specifically in Goma, located in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, not South Africa.

    During the widely publicized meeting, President Ramaphosa acknowledged, “There is criminality in our country. People who do get killed, unfortunately, through criminal activity, are not only white people — the majority of them are Black people,” he noted while also highlighting the broader context of crime within his nation. 

    “One of the most embarrassing moments for Americans was when Donald Trump pulled out a picture from the Congo and claimed it was a burial site for victims of his imaginary ‘white genocide’ in South Africa,” said one X user.

  • President Donald Trump Must Face Defamation Lawsuit from Exonerated Five, Judge Rules

    President Donald Trump Must Face Defamation Lawsuit from Exonerated Five, Judge Rules

    President Donald Trump is currently facing a defamation lawsuit from the men known as the “Central Park Five,” according to Huff Post. The five men—Yusef Salaam, Antron McCray, Kevin Richardson, Raymond Santana, and Korey Wise—were just teenagers in 1989 when they were wrongfully convicted and imprisoned for the rape and assault of a white woman who was jogging in Central Park, New York City.

    At that time, Trump placed full-page ads in newspapers across New York City advocating for the reinstatement of the death penalty following the arrests of these teens. He is now dealing with the repercussions of his recent remarks in which he continues to deny the wrongful conviction of the five men.

    U.S. District Judge Wendy Beetlestone has ruled that the five innocent Black and Hispanic men can move forward with their legal case against Trump regarding comments he made during the 2024 presidential campaign. On Thursday, Beetlestone chose not to dismiss the lawsuit.

    Initially, all five men pleaded guilty due to pressure from law enforcement, but they later withdrew those pleas. Though they were convicted by a jury, those convictions were overturned in 2002 after DNA evidence linked the crime to another man who confessed. 

    When reporters asked Trump in 2019 if he would apologize to the men for previously calling for their executions, he responded, “They admitted their guilt.” However, it was Trump’s latest remarks in 2024 that prompted the lawsuit. During a presidential debate on September 10 with then-Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump reiterated his belief that pleading guilty under pressure is the same as admitting to a crime. The group is seeking a jury trial to assess unspecified monetary damages.

  • Judge Orders Government to Bring Back Maryland Man Incorrectly Deported to El Salvador, ‘This Was an Illegal Act’

    Judge Orders Government to Bring Back Maryland Man Incorrectly Deported to El Salvador, ‘This Was an Illegal Act’

    On Friday, a federal judge in Maryland issued a preliminary injunction, ordering the government to ensure the return of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, the Maryland resident who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador, by Monday, according to ABC News.

    “I am going to grant the motion for preliminary injunction I’ve reviewed, and I’ll read this word for word, so that there is no dispute that the oral order is the written order,” U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis remarked during Friday’s hearing, referencing the recent court case involving the Alien Enemies Act, where the government did not comply with another judge’s verbal orders.

    “This was an illegal act,” Xinis said of Garcia’s deportation. “The two defendants are hereby ordered to facilitate the return of plaintiff Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia to the United States by no later than 11:59 p.m. on Monday, April 7, 2025.” Despite having protected legal status, Abrego Garcia was sent to the infamous CECOT mega-prison in El Salvador due to what the government described as an “administrative error.”

    While the government has admitted to the mistake, it previously stated in court documents that since Abrego Garcia is no longer in U.S. custody, the court cannot mandate his return to the U.S. or compel El Salvador to send him back. Last month, Abrego Garcia, whose wife is a U.S. citizen and has a 5-year-old child, was approached by ICE officers who informed him that his immigration status had changed, according to his attorneys. 

    He was detained and subsequently moved to a detention center in Texas before being sent to the CECOT prison in El Salvador on March 15, along with over 200 alleged Venezuelan gang members.

  • Donald Trump Listed in Jeffrey Epstein’s Flight Logs Unveiled by His Own Attorney General

    Donald Trump Listed in Jeffrey Epstein’s Flight Logs Unveiled by His Own Attorney General

    President Donald Trump‘s name was found in the flight logs of Jeffrey Epstein. The documents were released by his own attorney general on Thursday, February 27.

    An examination of the logs by PEOPLE revealed Trump’s name appeared seven times. He was first mentioned on page 24 of the initial log, dated October 11, 1993. He was also referenced twice on page 27, alongside his then-wife Marla Maples, their daughter Tiffany Trump, and a nanny on May 15, 1994. On all three occasions, “JE” (Jeff Epstein) was also listed as a passenger on the same flights as Trump.

    Epstein’s Files Released

    This release of documents occurred just a day after Attorney General Pam Bondi announced it on Fox News. “The first phase of files released today sheds light on Epstein’s extensive network and begins to provide the public with long overdue accountability,” Bondi said in a statement. The first set of documents released included flight logs, an evidence list, some redacted pages from a contact book, and a list of masseuses. Many of these documents had already been shared in court cases. Someone’s name appearing in the flight logs does not imply any wrongdoing. Most of the people listed were presumably on Epstein’s plane for valid business, political, or social reasons.

    In a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel, Bondi stated that she only received around 200 pages of documents. On Wednesday, she discovered “from a source” that the FBI Field Office in New York had “thousands of pages of documents related to the investigation and indictment of Epstein.” Bondi requested that the FBI provide the remaining documents by 8 a.m. on Friday, February 28. 

    Epstein died in 2019 by suicide in a New York City jail while facing charges of sex trafficking. A federal indictment accused Epstein of trafficking girls as young as 14 years old. He was facing a potential 45-year prison sentence.

  • President Donald Trump to Sign an Executive Order Banning Transgender Athletes from Participating in Women’s Sports

    President Donald Trump to Sign an Executive Order Banning Transgender Athletes from Participating in Women’s Sports

    President Donald Trump had promised to ban transgender athletes— a promise he made during his campaign days. Following the POTUS’ signing of this law, no biological male will be allowed in a female sport, which many complained had denied women fair play.

    ABC News officials got first-hand information from the senior administration office stating that this new law will be passed on Wednesday. This will usher in a new order for Federal agencies including the Department of Justice to interpret Title IX.

    Thus, schools and athletic associations will conform to this new order. Expectedly, sports groups like the NCAA will play by the rules of the federal agencies. Charles Baker, President of NCAA pledged loyalty to federal laws following a Republican senators hearing last year.

    Despite President Trump’s agenda to ban transgender athletes, sources confirmed that he will be signing this law with a room full of supporters. Surprisingly, the list includes athletes, coaches, and people who for years have touted against trans-sports.

    Amid the support President Trump is getting, some individuals have called him out, claiming that the ban will further sideline young athletes. Kelly Robinson, Human Rights Campaign President, this law will cause discrimination against people who don’t fit the general gender spectrum.

    However, senior administration officers of the White House maintained that this was not the end goal of the law. While this ban may stir an uproar and defense from some schools, the White House already warned that there will be punishment. This punishment will include cutting off funding from schools that may choose not to comply.
