You will be shocked to discover after reading these stories that while Rachel Reeves claimed to have been the "British girls under-14 [chess] champion" she was in reality merely the "Under 14s British Women’s Chess Association (BWCA) Girls" Champion.

Trump says we need to go after drug cartels.
Meanwhile, he disbanded a DOJ task force that took them on.
And he pardoned a former Honduran president convicted of drug trafficking.
Trump doesn't care about drugs — he wants to be able to declare war on anyone he labels an enemy.
It's a power grab.

The Knesset just crossed a new red line passing a bill to officially swallow the West Bank and impose Israeli sovereignty without even pretending otherwise.
And while Tel Aviv celebrates open annexation, U.S. Vice President JD Vance bluntly calls it what it is: “a stupid political stunt.”

1 - "Hundreds of thousands of lives saved"?
There are about 72,000 total deaths from all opioids annually - an awful tragedy, but not one averted by blasting small boats in the Caribbean.
2 - Fentanyl does NOT come from Venezuela by boat or any other way.

Trump: "Pete didn't know about the second attack having to do with two people. I guess Pete would have to speak to it. I can say this. I want those boats taken out. And if we have to, we'll attack on land also."

<div class="content">
<div class="field field-field-text"><p>Two French journalist unions filed a legal case against Israel for obstructing the work of their journalists in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, AFP reported on Tuesday.</p>
<p>The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) and the French Journalists' Union filed the complaint with the Paris anti-terror prosecutor's office last week, accusing Israel of "obstructing the freedom to inform".</p>
<p>The complaint mentioned a journalist being pursued by around 50 Israelis armed with "guns, cans of petrol and sticks" while reporting in the West Bank, all in the presence of the Israeli army.</p>
<p>Israel has not allowed international journalists into the Gaza Strip since the start of the war in October 2023, except when embedded with Israeli forces.</p>
<p>IFJ general secretary Anthony Bellanger said, "For more than two years, the IFJ has been calling for the borders to be opened to the foreign press so that they can relieve our colleagues who are exhausted by two years of war."</p>
