Image
 Lionel Messi bows out as Miami lose to PSG in Club World Cup, but questions remain over his future in the MLS and for Argentina at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.  Lionel Messi’s journey at the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 has come to an end after Inter Miami were handed a 4-0 thumping by Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the tournament’s last 16. Following their loss to the European champions on Sunday, Inter Miami now bring their attention back to Major League Soccer (MLS), where their campaign in the Eastern Conference was put on hold during the Club World Cup in the United States. Messi will continue to lead in his third year at Miami, but questions remain over his future plans with club and country. What did Messi say after Miami’s loss to PSG?  While Messi failed to score in the game dominated by PSG, he had one header saved by the opposition goalkeeper and a free kick that hit the goalpost. Despite his frustration, Messi praised PSG by saying the result was “expected”. “The match...

Israel kills 85 Palestinians, bombing across Gaza amid new ceasefire push

Image
 Homes, schools, hospitals and hungry aid seekers are targeted by Israel as it forces thousands out of the enclave’s north. Israeli forces have bombarded multiple areas across the besieged Gaza Strip, killing at least 85 Palestinians, including aid seekers and families sheltering in schools, and wounding many more in attacks that have also targeted a crowded hospital. In the relentless attacks on Monday, 62 of the victims were in Gaza City and the north of the territory. The Israeli navy struck a port in Gaza City, where the military has stepped up its heavy strikes, killing at least 21 and wounding 30, many of them women and children. Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud, reporting from Gaza City, said the attack was in the heart of a displacement centre near the Gaza seaport. “This area serves as a refuge for many traumatised and displaced people, offering some relief from the oppressive heat of the tents,” he said. Also on Monday, Israeli forces targeted the courtyard of Al-Aqsa Hospital i...

Israel kills nearly 600 Palestinians at aid centres: All you need to know

 Israel kills nearly 600 Palestinians at aid centres: All you need to know Hundreds of people have been killed in search of aid in Gaza, as a deepening famine and limited access to food leave hundreds of thousands hungry and malnourished. Since May 27, at least 583 Palestinians have been killed and 4,186 injured while waiting for food at aid distribution sites operated by the Israeli- and United States-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), according to the Gaza Strip’s Ministry of Health. The killings have occurred daily as famine looms over the besieged enclave. International organisations have warned for weeks that Gaza’s 2.1 million residents face catastrophic food shortages with markets emptied, clean water scarce, and aid deliveries sporadic and dangerous. In the first eight days of the GHF’s operation, more than 100 people were killed by gunfire from Israeli forces. Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud, reporting from Gaza City, said the GHF remains the only source of food in the S...

Elon Musk slams Trump’s signature budget bill as a ‘disgusting abomination’

Image
 Trump’s budget bill faces Republican discord in the US Senate, where some lawmakers reject any increase to the national debt. Billionaire Elon Musk has renewed his criticisms of United States President Donald Trump’s signature budget bill, calling it a “disgusting abomination” in a series of social media posts. On Tuesday, just days after leaving his post in the Trump administration, Musk offered yet another broadside against the legislation, known as the One Big Beautiful Bill. “I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination,” Musk wrote. “Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.” His subsequent posts laid out the reasoning for his opposition, suggesting that the spending and tax cuts proposed in the bill would balloon the US national debt. “It will massively increase the already gigantic budget deficit to $2.5 trillion (!!!) and burden America citizens with c...

Barack Obama didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize because of “affirmative action.”

Image
  WOW. This isn’t just insulting, it’s straight-up ignorant. Barack Obama didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize because of “affirmative action.” He won because he symbolized a turning point: from war to diplomacy, from torture to human rights, from fear to hope. Calling it “affirmative action” is just coward-speak for “I can’t handle a Black man earning global respect.” You’re not making a point — you’re proving why we need better history education in this country. You should be ashamed, but that would require having a soul. Don Jr. is vile. Like and share if you agree Trump will NEVER measure up and you want everyone to know!

 The Northrop B-2 Spirit is an American heavy strategic bomber that uses low-observable stealth technology to penetrate sophisticated anti-aircraft defenses. It is often referred to as a stealth bomber. A subsonic flying wing with a crew of two, the B-2 was designed by Northrop (later Northrop Grumman) as the prime contractor, with Boeing, Hughes, and Vought as principal subcontractors. It was produced from 1988 to 2000. The bomber can drop conventional and thermonuclear weapons,such as up to eighty 500-pound class (230 kg) Mk 82 JDAM GPS-guided bombs, or sixteen 2,400-pound (1,100 kg) B83 nuclear bombs. The B-2 is the only acknowledged in-service aircraft that can carry large air-to-surface standoff weapons in a stealth configuration. Development began under the Advanced Technology Bomber (ATB) project during the Carter administration, which cancelled the Mach 2-capable B-1A bomber in part because the ATB showed such promise, but development difficulties delayed progress and drove...
