Officials from the United States and China met in person Saturday to discuss trade for the first time since President Donald Trump raised tariffs on China one month ago. The two delegations, led by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng, met in Geneva, Switzerland, for approximately 10 hours.Trump announced Saturday that India and Pakistan have agreed to a U.S.-mediated cease-fire, but the Indian government is now accusing Pakistan of violating the agreement. This follows three days of cross-border fighting between the two nuclear powers.Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was released from custody after being taken away in handcuffs Friday afternoon for trespassing at a federal detention facility for illegal immigrants in Newark, New Jersey. A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security said Saturday that there will likely be “more arrests coming.”

LA officials watched as squatters turned vacant Hollywood homes into disaster zones, with FOUR FIRES in just two weeks. Is anyone surprised? While neighbors begged for action, bureaucrats promised to 'begin the formal process' and take 'urgent steps'—after the buildings were already burned to the ground. Meanwhile, Sacramento Democrats voted DOWN a bill that would have made it easier to remove illegal squatters. This episode exposes the madness of California's 'build it and they will come' homeless policies, the millions wasted on emergency responses, and the absolute failure of leadership putting neighborhoods at risk. Why do officials seem more concerned about protecting squatters than taxpaying residents? Subscribe, hit that bell, and drop a comment telling us what YOU would do if squatters took over in your neighborhood—because with leadership like this, you might need a plan.

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell dive into the fight for justice for Scott Spivey, who was killed in a shooting incident in Horry County, SC, after allegedly being chased for nine miles. Scott's sister, Jennifer Spivey Foley, has emerged as a powerful force demanding accountability. Along with attorney Mark ‘The Tiger' Tinsley, Jennifer's lawsuit has unearthed a "treasure trove of evidence" pointing to an allegedly "corrupt and inept investigation by Horry County Police" and a flawed review by SLED and the Attorney General's Office. Jennifer reveals how she discovered crucial audio recordings from evidence collected on the shooter Weldon Boyd's phone, which contradict the official narrative. You'll hear Jennifer's powerful and emotional speech before the Horry County Council, where she outlined the biased investigation, mishandling of evidence (including Scott's body), and challenged officials directly. We also share the chilling audio from Weldon's own phone where he boasts Scott was "terrified" during the chase. The episode explores the political response, including a letter from Horry County lawmakers asking the governor to intervene. We scrutinize State Representative William Bailey's decision not to sign this letter and examine disturbing recorded phone calls where Weldon Boyd discusses a potential "proclamation for bravery" allegedly crafted by his attorney Ken Moss and SC State Rep. Bailey. Bailey denies involvement, but his statements appear contradicted by the evidence. We also dissect the Horry County Police Department's press conference aimed at mitigating backlash. Chief Kris Leonhart's explanation of "improperly labeled videos" is obviously inadequate. More significantly, Chief Leonhart's claim that former Deputy Chief Brandon Strickland had "no action on scene" is directly countered by Strickland's own voice on tape admitting he was "working in the shadows" for Weldon Boyd the night of the shooting.  Lots to cover, so let's dive in...

From the BBC World Service: President Donald Trump is expected to announce a deal on tariffs with Britain later today. The agreement would be the first since sweeping tariffs were unveiled for dozens of America's trading partners.

And, China is experiencing a shortage of qualified cosmetic surgery practitioners and clinics.

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITHalfway through the workweek, we're diving into several thought-provoking stories that highlight how technology and fear are reshaping our society in unexpected ways.The episode begins with an unsettling examination of artificial intelligence's growing role in our justice system. A shooting victim in Arizona was digitally "resurrected" through AI to deliver a forgiveness message to his killer in court—a technological first that raises profound ethical questions. Should we be putting words in the mouths of the deceased, even with good intentions? The judge's emotional response resulted in a longer sentence, but does that justify crossing this technological boundary?Next, we explore a disturbing case where a New York town official shot a DoorDash driver who simply knocked on his door seeking directions. The worker, a West African immigrant making late-night deliveries, was shot in the back while attempting to leave the property. This incident perfectly encapsulates how fear-driven reactions and heightened rhetoric about immigration may be creating dangerous situations in everyday interactions. When did asking for directions become a potentially deadly request?The conversation shifts to Sean "Diddy" Combs' ongoing legal troubles, where a lawyer associated with his defense team faced judicial criticism for referring to prosecutors as "a six-pack of white women" on his podcast. Though factually accurate, the comment raised questions about professional conduct and appropriate commentary during high-profile cases.Between news stories, there's gratitude for dedicated listeners who bring humor to the community by sharing quotes, and we wrap with today's burning question: What's your favorite way to prepare pot roast?

California's sky-high gas prices aren't due to 'corporate greed'—they're self-inflicted wounds from layers of Democratic policy nonsense. This breakdown exposes how Gavin Newsom's spin contradicts a new USC study proving regulations, not refineries, are gouging californians. While Newsom blames 'big oil' for $6.42/gallon gas, refineries are fleeing the state faster than U-Hauls full of former residents. Is anyone surprised that driving out businesses leads to higher prices? Officials claim they're 'protecting the environment' while importing oil on dirty-fuel tankers from the Middle East—because that makes total sense.

In January of 2025, the human rights organization, Democracy in the Arab World Now (DAWN), made a formal request with the International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate former U.S. officials President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin for their accessorial roles in aiding and abetting, as well as intentionally contributing to, Israeli war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.With the support of ICC-registered lawyers and other war crimes experts, the submission details a pattern of deliberate and purposeful decisions by these officials to provide military, political, and public support to facilitate Israeli crimes in Gaza; this support included at least $17.9 billion of weapons transfers, intelligence sharing, targeting assistance, diplomatic protection, and official endorsement of Israeli crimes, despite knowledge of how such support had and would substantially enable grave abuses.Join host Sahar Aziz in conversation with Sarah Leah Whitson, executive director of DAWN, about the key facts and law supporting the request for the International Criminal Court to investigate Biden officials for aiding and abetting Israeli War Crimes in Gaza.#Israel #Palestine #Gaza #Genocide #ICC #HumanRightsSupport the Center for Security, Race and Rights by following us and making a donation:Donate: https://give.rutgersfoundation.org/csrr-support/20046.html Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/rucsrr Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/rutgerscsrr Follow us on Threads: https://threads.com/rutgerscsrr Follow us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/rucsrr Follow us on TikTok: https://tiktok.com/rucsrr Subscribe to our Newsletter: https://csrr.rutgers.edu/newsroom/sign-up-for-newsletter/ Support the show

The UN Security Council held a closed-door consultation Monday to discuss rising India-Pakistan tensions after a terror attack in Pahalgam killed 26 people. The meeting, initiated by Greece and requested by Pakistan, saw calls for de-escalation and “tough questions” reportedly posed to Islamabad. Though no official statement was issued, Pakistan claimed its goals were “largely served.” UN official Khaled Khiari briefed members on the volatile situation and emphasized dialogue and peaceful resolution. The UNSC's 15 members discussed the issue amid growing concern over regional stability following the deadly attack.The Indian Army on Tuesday apprehended a Pakistani national near the Line of Control (LoC) in Poonch's Chakkan Da Bagh area, amid surging India-Pakistan tensions. Army officials said the man is under interrogation. His capture follows the recent terror attack in Pahalgam that killed 25 tourists and a local, triggering frequent ceasefire violations by Pakistan across the LoC. The Indian Army has responded with retaliatory fire as border hostilities intensify. Military officials say heightened vigilance continues along the volatile frontier, which has seen firing in multiple sectors over the past few days.Amid fears of an Indian military response to the Pahalgam terror attack, the Centre on Monday instructed northern and western states and Union Territories to test civil defence readiness. The Ministry of Home Affairs directed mock drills for May 7 across J&K, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Haryana. States were asked to activate air raid sirens, implement blackout protocols, train civilians in safety drills, and practice evacuation plans. The alert comes as cross-border tensions spike and India braces for possible retaliation, with the Line of Control witnessing daily ceasefire violations since the attack.The Supreme Court warned Indraprastha Apollo Hospital on March 25 that AIIMS may take over its management if it continues to violate land lease terms requiring free treatment for poor patients. Over 12 years, Apollo reportedly allocated only 17% of its mandated Economically Weaker Section (EWS) beds, with some years as low as 12%. The court's rebuke follows a review of internal records revealing chronic underperformance. The hospital was granted land at concessional rates with the condition of providing EWS care, a commitment it now risks losing if non-compliance continues.The Trump administration has introduced a controversial new policy encouraging undocumented immigrants to leave the U.S. voluntarily. According to The New York Times, migrants will be offered $1,000 and a plane ticket home if they choose to self-deport. Payment is issued after departure is verified through the CBP Home app. Officials claim the policy will reduce deportation costs, which typically involve locating, detaining, and flying individuals out via government resources. The policy is being framed as a cost-saving measure amid ongoing debates over immigration enforcement and border control.

Sanitation officials are taking landlords to court over rat-infested lots. In Harlem, a judge let the city into a trash-covered property after the owner ignored orders. Officials say they've done this nine times this year. Meanwhile, rain is expected through Friday, with multiple rounds of showers moving through the region. Plus, new reporting this morning from various outlets including Bloomberg and the New York Times say air traffic controllers briefly lost communication with planes at Liberty Newark Airport last week.

President Donald Trump on Friday said he would strip Harvard University of its tax-exempt status, as a battle between his administration and the Ivy League school continues. “We are going to be taking away Harvard's Tax Exempt Status. It's what they deserve,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. He did not elaborate on the details, including when it may happen.Trump is planning to unveil a budget blueprint that calls for slashing federal spending on key nondefense programs by $163 billion, targeting renewable energy, education, and foreign aid, according to a White House official.The U.S. economy added a stronger-than-expected 177,000 jobs in April.

Washington state's latest "Covenant Home Ownership Program" is taxpayer-funded discrimination disguised as housing assistance. They're literally handing out $120,000 down payments based on skin color while poor white families and even wealthy black homeowners foot the bill through recording fees. The program has helped a whopping 200 families (sarcasm intended) in a state of millions, requiring applicants to somehow qualify for $7,000 monthly mortgage payments on modest incomes. Is anyone surprised this virtue-signaling exercise won't actually close the homeownership gap? Officials claim success while most eligible recipients can't meet credit or income requirements to use the program. Another example of politicians congratulating themselves while taxpayers fund their empty gestures. Subscribe and share to expose more government waste masquerading as progress!

A musical organ in a homeless encampment? Welcome to Seattle, where 10,000 pounds of trash was just removed from a public park by volunteers—not paid city officials. WeHeart Seattle and their team hauled away everything from weightlifting equipment to Halloween costumes while the city continues its game of homeless whack-a-mole. Officials celebrate removing tents from downtown while the unhoused simply retreat deeper into the woods, rendering the 'official' homeless count meaningless. Is this really the best that one of America's wealthiest cities can do? The result of years of 'compassionate' policies has created a reality where children can't safely enjoy public parks without encountering human waste and used needles.

The Treasury Department is losing two of its top technology officials, according to agency sources. Brian Peretti, Treasury's chief technology officer, is leaving the position and taking the federal government's early retirement option, two people within the agency said. Peretti helped organize the department's planning process for information technology and also served in the role of chief artificial intelligence officer. Rick Therrien, Treasury's chief information security officer, is also retiring, the two agency sources said. Therrien had served in the position since July 2024, and, before then, held a series of roles at the Internal Revenue Service. The moves come amid tensions in the Treasury Department over the influence of the Department of Government Efficiency and the departures of IT officials across the federal government. The Defense Department's chief information officer said this week she's kicking off a new program that aims to overhaul cumbersome bureaucratic mechanisms and streamline its ability to rapidly approve new software capabilities for warfighters. Under the Software Fast Track (SWIFT) program, the Pentagon will use artificial intelligence to replace legacy authority to operate (ATO) and Risk Management Framework (RMF) processes when buying new software. Acting DOD CIO Katie Arrington signed a memo authorizing the new effort said and it would officially launch May 1. The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

A massive blackout plunged Spain and Portugal into chaos—trains halted, hospitals scrambled, supermarkets stripped bare. Officials say the cause is still under investigation, but one thing is clear: modern grids are increasingly fragile. With nations racing to transform their energy systems, have we ignored the risks?

See the video version: https://weirddarkness.com/MurderNoir-MargaretsLastKissInspired by a true story; scroll down for the real-life case. | Millhaven, 1937. A woman lies barely clinging to life. A man with no past returns from the dead. A detective who thought he'd seen everything knows that most of his cases are puzzles. Some are warnings. This one feels like a curse. In this city, the church bells toll without reason, the dead won't rest, and something ancient hums just beneath the surface.THE TRUE CRIME CASE THIS STORY IS BASED ON: On Sunday, October 13, 1867, Ferdinand Hoffman fatally stabbed his ex-wife, Caroline Yost, inside the German Reformed Church in Canton, Ohio. The attack occurred after Hoffman, recently released from prison, followed Yost into the church and confronted her behind the belfry door. Witnesses reported hearing screams as Hoffman fled, leaving Yost with eighteen stab wounds. Yost, who had divorced Hoffman after years of reported abuse and his repeated arrests for crimes including counterfeiting and theft, survived for nearly a week before succumbing to her injuries. The tip of Hoffman's knife had broken off during the attack, lessening the severity of later wounds. Hoffman was captured shortly after the stabbing by a group of citizens who prevented a lynching. He was held in jail awaiting murder charges. Authorities reported that Hoffman expressed no remorse, stating he regretted not killing Yost outright. The morning after Yost's death, Hoffman was found dead in his cell, having hanged himself with a bedsheet. Officials left his body hanging for public viewing throughout the day.SOURCES…http://www.murderbygaslight.com/2022/06/murdered-in-church.htmlMusic provided by Alibi Music Library= = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.
