It took as many as 30 police officers to detain aSomali migrant outside a supermarket after he allegedly stabbed a patron trying to stop him from harassing and coughing on other customers. The 27-year-old Somali national was arrested following the attack outside a supermarket in the German town of Waltershausen at approximately 5:30 PM local time on Wednesday.
The suspect had been coughing on customers and engaging in heated confrontations at a Netto supermarket prior to the stabbing. Witnesses claim the Somali migrant threatened to kill the customer, who responded by urging him to calm down. Following this exchange, the suspect allegedly stabbed the 46-year-old in the neck.

Witnesses intervened and prevented further harm while authorities were alerted. Police arrived with 30 officers, and the suspect was taken into custody.
The Somali faces charges of attempted manslaughter, violent disorder, and making threats. He has a criminal history, according to statements by public prosecutors. Following the attack, the suspect allegedly made further threats to bystanders—stating he would kill them and their families.
Germany has seen mounting issues with crime involving migrants in recent years. German police statistics show migrants are suspects in nearly 60 percent of violent crimes across the country. The supermarket stabbing incident follows another knife attack in Germany, where three people were killed by a Syrian failed asylum seeker allied with the Islamic State during Solingen’s Festival of Diversity.
The leftist German government is pledging tougher knife control laws rather than addressing mass migration as the root cause of the constant stabbing attacks.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The directive was communicated via a letter addressed to Smithsonian Secretary Lonnie G. Bunch III, with implementation timelines spanning the next 120 days.
💬KEY QUOTE: “By focusing on Americanism—the people, principles, and progress that define our nation—we can work together to renew the Smithsonian’s role as the world’s leading museum institution.” — Trump White House
🎯IMPACT: The review aims to restore public confidence in the Smithsonian’s role as a trusted institution and align its exhibitions with the values of unity and American progress.
IN FULL
The Trump White House has announced a comprehensive internal review of selected Smithsonian museums and exhibitions, aiming to ensure alignment with Executive Order 14253, titled “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History.” This directive seeks to celebrate American exceptionalism, remove divisive narratives, and restore confidence in the Smithsonian as a trusted cultural institution.
The letter, addressed to Smithsonian Secretary Lonnie G. Bunch III, outlined a detailed plan for the review process. “As we prepare to celebrate the 250th anniversary of our Nation’s founding, it is more important than ever that our national museums reflect the unity, progress, and enduring values that define the American story,” the letter states, emphasizing that the review will focus on public-facing content, curatorial processes, exhibition planning, narrative standards, and the use of collections.
The process will begin with museums submitting requested materials, including exhibition plans, educational content, and internal guidelines, within 30 days. On-site visits and interviews with curators and senior staff will follow, aiming to better understand the goals driving current and future exhibitions. The review will also evaluate 250th Anniversary programming and ensure coordination with the White House Salute to America 250 Task Force.
By the 120-day mark, museums are expected to implement necessary content corrections, replacing divisive or ideologically driven woke language with unifying and historically accurate descriptions. A final report, including museum-specific assessments and recommendations, is expected to be completed by early 2026.
“We view this process as a collaborative and forward-looking opportunity—one that empowers museum staff to embrace a revitalized curatorial vision rooted in the strength, breadth, and achievements of the American story,” the Trump White House letter says, adding: “By focusing on Americanism—the people, principles, and progress that define our nation—we can work together to renew the Smithsonian’s role as the world’s leading museum institution.”

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Britain’s Labour government, the formerly governing Conservative Party, illegal immigrants, and people-smuggling gangs.
📍WHEN & WHERE: Between July 5, 2024, and August 11, 2024, across the English Channel.
💬KEY QUOTE: “As I predicted 5 years ago, unless we deport illegal migrants the invasion will be huge. 50,000 since our weak Prime Minister took office and there is no sign of it stopping.” – Reform Party leader Nigel Farage
🎯IMPACT: The milestone highlights ongoing challenges in addressing illegal immigration and the political difficulties faced by the government.
IN FULL
Over 50,000 migrants have crossed the English Channel in small boats since Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour Party returned to power last year, according to figures from the British Home Office—roughly equivalent to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). On August 11 alone, 474 migrants made the illegal journey across the Channel from France, bringing the total since Labour’s July 2024 general election win to 50,271. This figure is 13,925 higher than the total recorded over the same period before Labour regained office.
Responding to the milestone, Baroness Smith, a Labour minister in the Home Office, said the number represented “an unacceptable number of people” but claimed that the government was making progress. “People-smuggling gangs have become increasingly influential in recent years, exploiting vulnerable people and profiting from their desperation,” Smith said.
The surge in small boat arrivals has drawn sharp criticism from the opposition. Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp called the situation “the worst illegal immigration crisis in our history” and accused the government of failing to control the border. “This is a taxpayer-funded ferry service for the people-smuggling trade. Every illegal immigrant should be removed immediately upon arrival,” he said.
However, the Channel crossings began when Philp’s Conservative (Tory) Party was in office and grew progressively worse, with successive Conservative prime ministers showing no signs of making progress on the issue.
“As I predicted 5 years ago, unless we deport illegal migrants the invasion will be huge,” commented Reform Party leader Nigel Farage, who played a large part in exposing the Channel crisis and exposing the role of the French and British authorities in facilitating the crossings. “50,000 since our weak Prime Minister took office and there is no sign of it stopping,” he lamented.
❓WHAT HAPPENED: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) announced legal action to hold former Democratic Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D) in contempt for alleged unlawful fundraising activities.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The contempt action was announced on August 12, 2025.
💬KEY QUOTE: “Beto told me ‘to come and take,’ so I did and beat him in court. Now, he still thinks he’s above the law, so I’m working to put him behind bars.” – Ken Paxton
🎯IMPACT: The restraining order halts O’Rourke’s fundraising efforts for Democrat lawmakers who fled Texas to deny the state legislature a quorum, and Paxton is pursuing further legal consequences.
IN FULL
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) has announced his office is taking legal action against former Democratic Congressman and perennial failed candidate Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke, accusing him of violating a temporary restraining order that prohibits fundraising for Democrats who fled the state during the legislature’s special session for redistricting to deny it a quorum. Paxton declared that O’Rourke’s actions constitute a contemptuous and “blatant violation” of the court order.
The restraining order, granted by a Tarrant County District Judge on Friday, came after Paxton sued O’Rourke and his organization, Powered by People. The lawsuit alleges that O’Rourke engaged in a “misleading financial-influence scheme” to support Democrat legislators who broke quorum in protest of Republican redistricting efforts. The judge’s order blocked O’Rourke and Powered by People from further fundraising activities.
In a statement, Paxton remarked, “Robert Francis [O’Rourke] flagrantly and knowingly violated the court order I secured that prevents him from raising funds and distributing any more Beto Bribes. He’s about to find out that running your mouth and ignoring the rule of law has consequences in Texas. It’s time to lock him up.”
O’Rourke, who served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 2013 to 2019 and in former President Joe Biden’s cabinet, has become a well-known figure in Texas politics, mostly due to a series of humiliating statewide election defeats. He lost a challenge against Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) in 2018 and Republican Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) in 2022 and also failed in his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020.
Paxton emphasized the significance of the legal action in a post on X (formerly Twitter), writing, “I just defeated Beto O’Rourke in court. We secured a major victory stopping runaway Democrats from taking ‘Beto Bribes’ and preventing deceptive fundraising.”

📍WHEN & WHERE: Arrests were made on the evening of Monday, August 11, 2025.
💬KEY QUOTE: “Our capital city has been overtaken by violent gangs, bloodthirsty criminals, roving mobs of wild youths, drugged-out maniacs, and homeless people, and we’re not going to let it happen anymore.” — President Trump
🎯IMPACT: Those arrested face charges including homicide, firearms offenses, possession with intent to distribute narcotics, fare evasion, lewd acts, stalking, possession of a high-capacity magazine, fleeing, operating a vehicle without a permit, Driving Under the Influence (DUI), and reckless driving.
IN FULL
The Trump White House announced that the federalized Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) made 23 arrests Monday evening, the first night the city’s police force has been under federal government control. While the average number of daily arrests in the nation’s capital tends to fluctuate significantly, the 23 arrests on Monday evening appear to be on the higher end of the daily average despite occurring over less than a 12-hour period.
According to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, those arrested face charges including: homicide, firearms offenses, possession with intent to distribute narcotics, fare evasion, lewd acts, stalking, possession of a high-capacity magazine, operating a vehicle without a permit, Driving Under the Influence (DUI), and reckless driving. The crime crackdown comes as Washington, D.C., continues to see homicide rates outpace many other major U.S. cities, including New York City. Additionally, residents in the capital have faced a continued spree of carjackings, which have often resulted in the death or injury of the victim.
Karoline Leavitt highlights the 23 arrests made last night alone following Trump’s takeover of the DC police.

“Our capital city has been overtaken by violent gangs, bloodthirsty criminals, roving mobs of wild youths, drugged-out maniacs, and homeless people. And we’re not going to let it happen anymore,” President Donald J. Trump declared on Monday morning at a press conference announcing the MPD’s federalization. He added: “Every American has a constitutional right to be able to access and petition their government in safety. And countless government officials and employees, likewise, have the right to carry out their jobs in peace without being shot.”
While the corporate media has attempted to claim that crime is either already falling or is not even a problem in Washington, D.C., the city’s crime statistics have been called into question. For instance, in July, the MPD confirmed that Michael Pulliam, a Washington, D.C. police commander, is under investigation for allegedly doctoring crime statistics.
The investigation began after the Fraternal Order of Police complained that the department was deliberately falsifying crime data.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Hitwoman Aimee Betro, Mohammed Aslam and Mohammed Nabil Nazir, who ordered the hit, and their intended victim, Sikander Ali.
📍WHEN & WHERE: Murder attempt in September 2019 in Birmingham, England, conviction in August 2025.
💬KEY QUOTE: “This prosecution is a culmination of years of hard work doggedly pursuing Aimee Betro across countries and borders while she remained relentless in her bid to escape justice,” said Prosecutor Hannah Sidaway.
🎯IMPACT: Betro was convicted on multiple charges, including conspiracy to murder, and awaits sentencing. Nazir and Aslam have already been imprisoned.
IN FULL
Aimee Betro, a 45-year-old woman from the United States, has been convicted in the United Kingdom for her involvement in a murder conspiracy linked to a family feud in Birmingham, which hosts a large Muslim population. She was flown into the country by Mohammed Aslam and his son, Mohammed Nabil Nazir, who orchestrated the plot to murder Sikander Ali in retaliation for an earlier clash.
The attempted hit took place in September 2019. Betro, wearing a niqab to conceal her identity, attempted to assassinate Ali outside his home. However, the firearm malfunctioned, and she was unable to carry out the killing. Later that same day, she returned and opened fire on his family home, shooting three times into the house, but it was empty at the time.
After the failed attack, Betro fled the country. Authorities later extradited her from Armenia to face charges in England. Prosecutor Hannah Sidaway said her trial was “a culmination of years of hard work doggedly pursuing Aimee Betro across countries and borders while she remained relentless in her bid to escape justice.”
During her trial, prosecutors presented damning evidence linking Betro to the shooting, but she denied all charges, claiming her trip to England was solely to attend a birthday party and that she met Nazir on a dating app.
The jury found Betro guilty of conspiracy to murder, possession of a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence, and illegal importation of ammunition. Nazir and Aslam had previously been convicted for their involvement, receiving sentences of 32 years and 10 years, respectively. Betro faces a potential life sentence.

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The Texas House of Representatives has filed lawsuits in Illinois and California courts to domesticate civil arrest warrants for House Democrats who fled the state to block a vote on redistricting.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Lawsuits were filed recently in Illinois and California after Democrats fled Texas during a special session.
🎯IMPACT: If Illinois and California courts refuse to enforce the warrants, the matter could escalate to the U.S. Supreme Court.
IN FULL
The Texas House of Representatives has filed arrest warrants for 56 Texas Democrat lawmakers currently hiding in Illinois and California. They left the state to prevent voting on a redistricting plan during a special session. Each of the lawsuits asks courts in Democrat-controlled California and Illinois to domesticate warrants under the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the U.S. Constitution, enabling the absent lawmakers to be detained and returned to Texas.
However, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker (D) has already declared that his state will not comply, insisting that Illinois is not obligated to honor the warrants unless a federal crime has been committed. He stated, “There is literally no federal law applicable to this situation. None.” It is suspected that California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) will likewise ignore the warrants.
The situation could set up a major showdown before the U.S. Supreme Court if Illinois and California continue to refuse to enforce the Texas warrants. Notably, the U.S. Constitution’s Full Faith and Credit Clause mandates states to recognize and enforce public acts and judicial proceedings from other states. Compounding the situation is the reported involvement of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in tracking down and possibly arresting the missing Texas Democrats—a factor that could expedite any federal court challenge.
The lawsuits argue that Illinois and California must treat Texas’s Quorum Warrants as their own civil orders. They cite federal statute 28 U.S.C. § 1738, which codifies the Full Faith and Credit Clause and the Judicial Comity doctrine. Precedent from a 2016 U.S. Supreme Court ruling on the Full Faith and Credit Clause supports Texas’s position, requiring state courts to enforce judgments from other states.
Courts in Illinois and California have yet to schedule hearings on the matter.

💬KEY QUOTE: “A two-state solution remains the best hope for ending the violence in the Middle East and alleviating the suffering in Gaza.” – Anthony Albanese
🎯IMPACT: Israel has strongly opposed the move, warning it rewards terrorism, while Australia’s opposition cautions it could harm relations with the U.S.
IN FULL
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced on Monday that Australia will officially recognize a Palestinian state during the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in September. The decision has drawn sharp criticism from Israel, which has labeled the move as a reward for terrorism.
“A two-state solution remains the best hope for ending the violence in the Middle East and alleviating the suffering in Gaza,” Albanese said during a press conference in the Australian capital of Canberra. The announcement aligns Australia with other Western nations such as France, Canada, and the United Kingdom, which have also pledged recognition of a Palestinian state at the summit.
Israeli Ambassador to Australia Amir Maimon quickly condemned the move, stating, “We reject this recognition.” Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong defended the decision, arguing that recognition was a matter of “when, not if,” and warning that “there is a risk there will be no Palestine left to recognize” without prompt action.
The decision has also sparked backlash from Australia’s opposition Liberal Party, which leans towards the center-right, with leader Sussan Ley warning that it risks damaging the close relationship between Australia and the U.S. “Despite the Prime Minister’s remarks, the reality is that this recognition comes while hostages are still held in Gaza and Hamas remains in power,” Ley said.
The Trump administration has previously voiced opposition to France’s stated intention to recognize Palestinian statehood.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The proposal is being discussed as of late July to early August, with the Domestic Civil Disturbance Quick Reaction Force troops potentially stationed in Alabama and Arizona.
🎯IMPACT: The plan is expected to face legal and political challenges from Democratic state leaders.
IN FULL
The Trump administration is exploring the establishment of a Domestic Civil Disturbance Quick Reaction Force, which would involve 600 National Guard troops on standby to address civil unrest in American cities. According to internal Pentagon documents, these troops would be stationed at military bases in Alabama and Arizona, ready to deploy within an hour.
The plan, drafted by National Guard officials between late July and early August, would see troops split between the east and west of the Mississippi River. Previous deployments of National Guard troops, such as earlier this year in Los Angeles, California, to support U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) personnel facing attacks from pro-illegal immigrant rioters, were criticized by Democratic state leaders, including California Governor Gavin Newsom (D). Newsom sued the Trump administration to cancel the deployment, but was soundly defeated in the Ninth Circuit.
The legal framework for rapid response deployments is rooted in Title 10 and Title 32 of the U.S. Code. Title 10 allows the President to direct troops without the need for state governor approval, while Title 32 places National Guard troops under state control but with federal funding. The proposed plan would see troops mobilized under Title 32 during civil unrest, bypassing the need for state-level consent.
The program could be implemented as early as fiscal year 2027, with funding coming from the Pentagon’s annual budget.
On Monday, President Trump announced that he is federalizing the D.C. police and deploying the National Guard to the nation’s capital to combat violent crime. Reports indicate that over 800 National Guard troops will arrive in the city over the coming days.

Over 100,000 Americans have submitted applications for jobs at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) following the launch of a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) hiring campaign in late July. The Trump administration initiative seeks to add 10,000 more ICE personnel amid an unpl, providing various perks and easing some qualification restrictions.
In a statement, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem stressed the significance of the hiring push. “This is a defining moment in our nation’s history. Your skills, your experience, and your courage have never been more essential. Together, we must defend the homeland,” she said. Noem emphasized that ICE agents are responsible for deporting “the worst of the worst criminals” from the nation.
To draw in applicants, ICE is providing sign-on bonuses as high as $50,000, along with programs for repaying or forgiving student loans, and additional perks.
This hiring campaign occurs amid DHS statistics showing an 830 percent surge in attacks against ICE agents, a number that Noem indicated has now climbed to 1,000 percent.
Todd Lyons, the acting ICE Director, has drawn attention to the difficulties ICE agents encounter because of the open border policies of the former Biden-Harris government: “The dedicated men and women of ICE now face unprecedented challenges in removing millions of criminal illegal aliens from our country,” he said.
The ICE hiring portal features various positions such as deportation officer, criminal investigator, and general attorney. It also responds to worries about occupational hazards, noting that agents are “expertly trained” and that all possible measures are implemented to protect them. Every candidate for law enforcement positions will be subject to health evaluations, substance screenings, and fitness tests during recruitment.

🎯IMPACT: The allegations raise questions about the weaponization of intelligence and law enforcement for political purposes, with Congress now reviewing the declassified documents.
IN FULL
Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA), while serving in the House of Representatives in 2016, directed the leaking of classified documents aimed at fomenting the Russia collusion hoax targeting President Donald J. Trump, according to whistleblower claims in newly declassified Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) documents. Currently being reviewed by Congress, the documents contain testimony from a whistleblower who worked for the Democrat members of the House Intelligence Committee. The whistleblower told the FBI that Schiff initiated the leaking of classified documents in a meeting after Trump’s election in 2016.
The whistleblower claims Schiff’s intention was to use selective leaks of classified documents to drive the Russia collusion narrative and hurt Trump. “In this meeting, SCHIFF stated the group would leak classified information which was derogatory to President of the United States Donald J. TRUMP. SCHIFF stated the information would be used to indict President TRUMP,” the FBI memo said. “[Redacted] stated this would be illegal and, upon hearing his concerns, unnamed members of the meeting reassured [Redacted] that they would not be caught leaking classified information.”
The whistleblower believed that this leaking would be “unethical,” “illegal,” and “treasonous.” The whistleblower was later “approached about leaking classified information in a separate meeting by unnamed individuals,” the FBI memo states.
The interview documents were declassified by FBI Director Kash Patel. “We found it. We declassified it,” Patel posted on X (formerly Twitter), adding: “Now Congress can see how classified info was leaked to shape political narratives—and decide if our institutions were weaponized against the American people.”
Concerningly, the whistleblower told the FBI that Democrats on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence believed that they could end the Trump presidency with selective classified document leaks to the media. “Schiff believed Russia hijacked the election, and the United States was in the middle of a constitutional crisis. Classified information began leaking to the media. The Democratic minority leadership of HPSCI was aware of the leaks but was under the impression that leaking the information was one way to topple the administration and fix the constitutional crisis,” the whistleblower stated.
