Strategist dubs Trump’s move one of the most ‘ignorant’ in history

Strategist who predicted Trump’s downfall calls his move one of the most ‘ignorant’ in U.S. history

Donald Trump’s return to office for the second time sparked a term that’s been full of nonstop twists and turns. From signing a bunch of executive orders, many of which challenged in court, to sparking major controversies, he’s become a figure you either love or hate. With Trump, there’s no in between, it seems.

Among those who have criticized the work of Trump’s administration is Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville.

Carville stated on several occasions that the current administration “will collapse,” adding later that it has already started happening.

He addressed the rating that he stated showed Trump’s support going from low 50s to upper 30s.

At the time, he stated that this had to do with Trump’s executive orders, as well as the work of the Department of Government Efficiency led by tech-billionaire Elon Musk, most precisely, his recent cost-cutting moves.

During an appearance on The Dan Abrams Show, the strategist said, “It’s collapsing right now. We’re in the midst of a collapse.

“What I have said very publicly is that Democrats need to play possum. This whole thing is collapsing,” he added.

Most recently, Carville “accused” Trump of one of the most ‘ignorant’ acts in US history. He referred to his administration’s decision to impose tariffs on nearly every country in the world.

Trump announced the new round of tariffs, including 125% rate on goods imported from China, dubbing the decision a “Liberation Day.”

Introducing these significant changes to US trade policy, he described his move as a “declaration of economic independence.”

Speaking of the tariffs, Carville wrote in a piece for The New York Times, “In what will certainly be recorded as one of the most ignorant acts of political leadership in American history, the president of the United States has now wilfully damaged the global economy with his tariff chaos.”

“Not only was this an act of economic warfare, it has broken the cardinal rule in American politics: Never destabilize the economy.

“With it, the Trump administration is causing enormous damage to itself – and there can be no more distraction from this naked truth.”

Previously, Trump took to Truth Social to address Carville’s accusations, calling him a “loser” who can’t wrap his head around the president’s supposed “best polling numbers.”

Wife of man who was deported to ‘world’s worst prison’ due to ‘Trump admin error’ shares an emotional statement

Donald Trump passed an order that required 238 supposed criminals – American immigrants – to be transferred to what is known as the “world’s worst prison” in El Salvador. Among those who were deported was a Maryland father Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia.

He was sent to the Center for Terrorism Confinement (CECOT) in El Salvador by mistake.

As immigration officials admitted making a mistake due to an administrative error. Then, the Supreme Court ruled that Trump’s administration must ‘facilitate’ Garcia’s return to the United States.

US District Judge Paula Xinis said Garcia was seized “without any lawful authority” and held “without legal basis”, in “direct contravention” of US law. She referred to his situation as to a “grievous error” that “shocks the conscience,” BBC reports.

However, to this man’s family’s despair, this seems easier said than done.

Following an alleged meeting between Trump and El Salvador’s leader, Nayib Bukele, it was determined that Garcia’s potential return to US is up to Bukele, who isn’t willing to do such a thing.

“I hope you’re not suggesting that I smuggle a terrorist into the United States. How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States? Of course I’m not going to do it. The question is preposterous,” the El Salvador leader said.

“We just turned the murder capital of the world to the safest country the western hemisphere. And you want us to go back into the releasing criminals, so we can go back to the murder capital of the world, and that’s not going to happen.”

Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia is indeed an immigrant who came to the States aged 14. However, in 2019, a US immigration judge had granted him legal protection from deportation due to gang threats in his native country.

Ever since his deportation to the “world’s worst prison,” Garcia’s wife, Jennifer Stefania Vasquez Sura, has been vocal of his situation and the injustice that has been done to him and his family.

“I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn’t forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home … they miss their dad so much,” she said.

According to The Telegraph, the US government claimed Garcia is a wife abuser, not an “upstanding Maryland” resident.

the Department of Homeland Security revealed that Garcia was handed a restraining order against his wife Jennifer Vasquez in 2021.

His wife, however, claims that she sought a restraining order out of caution because of a previous violent relationship.

“After surviving domestic violence in a previous relationship, I acted out of caution after a disagreement with Kilmar by seeking a civil protective order in case things escalated,” Vasquez said

Further, she claimed that things didn’t escalate and they didn’t take the matter to court. On the contrary, following the incident, they marriage only grew stronger.

She added that she wouldn’t stop fighting for her husband’s return to America.

Heartbreaking searches show what Betsy Arakawa Googled before their deaths

Renowned actor Gene Hackman and his pianist wife Betsy Arakawa were found dead in separate rooms at their Santa Fe property on February 26, 2025.

The couple, who had been married since 1991, died on different dates, according to the autopsy results.

The Academy Awarded actor died of cardiovascular disease, with his Alzheimer’s being a contributing factor, a week after Arakawa’s passing. Authorities believe that Hackman was probably unaware his wife was dead.

Arakawa died of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, a rare disease contracted from infected rodent droppings or saliva.

According to TMZ, dead rodents and their nests were found in “eight detached outbuildings” across Heckman’s property, creating ideal conditions for hantavirus.

There have also been traps around the property, suggesting the couple tried to get rid of the rodents.

Authorities were first alerted that something was wrong with the actor and his wife after the caretaker of their Santa Fe property called 911 and told them they couldn’t enter the house. Also, they said they believed they could see two bodies through the windows.

One of the couple’s dogs, Zinna, was also dead, while the rest of the dogs were alive.

Facebook

On February 10, two days before it was determined she had passed away, Arakawa Googled “can Covid cause dizziness?” and “flu and nosebleeds.”

The following day, she called a clinic to cancer her appointment saying her husband experienced “flu/cold-like symptoms” but had tested negative for Covid.

She also ordered oxygen canisters for “respiratory support” from Amazon.

On the day she passed, Arakawa made several calls to the Cloudberry Health clinic.

According to the MirrorDr Josiah Child, a former emergency care specialist who now runs the clinic, told The Mail, “Mrs Hackman didn’t die on February 11 because she called my clinic on February 12.”

He explained: “She’d called me a couple of weeks before her death to ask about getting an echocardiogram [heart scan] for her husband. She was not a patient of mine, but one of my patients recommended Cloudberry to her. She made an appointment for herself for February 12. It was for something unrelated to anything respiratory.”

She never appeared at the clinic.

Since her passing, three more cases of people dying from the same virus have been reported in California.

“A third case of Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS), each of which has been fatal, is tragic and alarming,” Dr Tom Boo, Mono County Public Health Officer said.

“We don’t have a clear sense of where this young adult may have contracted the virus. The home had no evidence of mouse activity. We observed some mice in the workplace, which is not unusual for indoor spaces this time of year in Mammoth Lakes.

“We haven’t identified any other activities in the weeks before illness that would have increased this person’s exposure to mice or their droppings. We’ve been aware of this suspected case for some weeks, but it has taken time to obtain testing.”

Dr Boo added: “The occurrence of three cases in a short period has me worried, especially this early in the year. Historically, we tend to see Hantavirus cases later in the spring and in the summer. We’ve now gone about a month without any additional suspect cases, but remain concerned about the increase in activity.”

Mother speaks out after 7-month-old baby is mauled to death by family pit bull

Baby Elizah Renee Lynn Turner, 7-month-old, suffered a horrific death after being mauled by the family pit bull.

Her mother, Mackenzie Copley, spoke of the tragic loss, saying she’s “lost and heartbroken.”

Copley and her husband, Kameron Turner, had three pit bulls in the house. Following the incident, the dogs were taken away by Franklin Animal Control.

The attack, which took place on April 9, during which the baby was mauled by the pit bull has been investigated by the authorities.

As of now, no charges have been pressed against the parents who claim the bond between their dogs and their late daughter had been a sweet one, questioning how such an attack could have happened.

Copley took to Facebook to share her heartbreak regarding the loss of her baby girl.

“I will never understand why!!!” she wrote on Facebook Saturday, posting pictures of baby Elizah and the family’s pit bulls.

“I am so lost and broken. This was the same dog who was side by side with my baby every single day,” she added.

Eliza’s dad also shared his grief.

“Life is so not fair,” Turner wrote. “How can I continue living without her.”

Her obituary read that “Elizah’s face would light up the room and her laugh was contagious.”

“Lizah was spunky, happy, loved watching miss Rachel and she was never without a smile. She brought light to everyone’s life, healed her family’s hearts and gave them all purpose.

“Her favorite times were spent laughing with mom and dad. Her nickname ‘Kickin Wing’ was given to her by her grandpa. Every time someone new walked into the room her legs started kicking away because of how excited she was to see you.”

According to the Ohio police, Elizah’s death was a tragic incident.

“There is really not a lot of words I can say to convey how I feel,” Columbus Police Sgt. James Fuqua told WBNS, as reported by the New York Post.

“Everyone in this process is literally grieving as if this child belonged to us, because most of us are parents and can’t imagine just how this scene is,” he added.

Hungry boy called 911, but what arrived was more than just food

Midjourney

The following story is a reminder that there are still good people out there who go to great lengths to help those in need. They restore our faith in humanity and inspire us to do good ourselves.

A young boy called 911, but didn’t speak, so an officer who lived near the house where the call had been traced to was asked to go and check it out.

It was around 9:30 p.m. and she had just got her youngest child to bed when she was alerted of the boy’s call.

Once at the house, a boy, 8, opened the door. It didn’t look like he was in any sort of trouble. What’s most, although a rather bare, the house was neat and clean. He was there with his little sister.

The boy introduced himself as Mateo and the reason why he called 911 was because he and his siter were hungry. They were all by themselves, with no adult in sight.

After she questioned them, the officer learned that the children’s mom worked two jobs, obviously struggling to make ends meet.

Mateo said that he took care of his sister, Sophia, while their mom was working. They usually had a thing or two in the fridge, but this time, there was only a jug of milk and some ketchup packets.

The officer called back-up, explaining what was going on, and in no time, services arrived at the house, with a paramedic named Rosa bringing sandwiches for the kids.

Before alerting the social services, the officer tracked down the children’s mom who was working at Joe’s Diner.

She was told the kids were fine but were starving.

The poor woman was upset. It was obvious she was a caring mother who was forced to work long hours in order to provide for her family.

In the days to come, both the officer and Rosa thought about Mateo and Sophia.

One day, Rosa visited the officer and told her she had come up with an idea, to start a project involving officers, paramedics, and members of the community who would step up for families in need. The project, Midnight Meals, turned out to be a huge success.

Every Friday night, volunteers delivered food and toiletries to vulnerable members of the community.

The response was overwhelming. Teachers donated books and school supplies, grocery stores contributed with canned food, and teenagers offered their precious time.

One night, Rosa and the police officer decided to deliver the goods themselves. They went to Mateo and Sophia’s place, but this time it looked different. There was more furniture, more food, and even decorations.

Mateo immediately recognized the two women while his mother thanked them for everything they have done for her family.

Rosa had a brand new rucksack filled with a bunch of school supplies for Mateo, who was over the moon by the gift.

Realizing how strong the impact of their small act of kindness has been, the two women reflected on why they chose their professions.

Powerful earthquake strikes San Diego – Locals recount scenes of utter chaos

San Diego was struck by a massive earthquake on Monday at 10 pm. The US Geological Survey reported that the magnitude was 5.2, approximately the same magnitude that hit Myanmar and left devastation behind.

The quake was centered just a couple of miles (4 kilometers) from Julian, a mountain town of about 1,500 people, but was felt all the way to Los Angeles, 120 miles away.

According to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, they haven’t received immediate reports of damage and injuries.

The residents, however, were alerted of it around 5 seconds before it struck.

“I can’t recall ever getting a text alert before an earthquake. Came in 5 seconds before apartment started swaying,” Marty Caswell from San Diego posted on X.

“Earthquake detected! Drop, Cover, Hold On. Protect Yourself,” another social media user reported to have received a warning message seconds prior to the violent ground shake.

“That was the biggest earthquake I’ve felt since moving to San Diego,” someone posted.

“Haven’t ever experienced an earthquake. but i lived around sinkholes and i just grabbed my son and ran for the door in my boxers. Heart in my a**,” another added.

NBC shared a series of footages of the moment the earthquake hit. One of them showed a mother grabbing her baby and fleeing to safety. Another showed a scared cat watching its home shake.

Residents reported several aftershocks after the earthquake, including one with a magnitude of 3.9.

The California Department of Transportation issued a warning of potential hazards along with images of huge rocks that fell on State Route 76 just east of E Grade Road.

Governor Gavin Newsom has been briefed of the earthquake. “The state is coordinating with local authorities to assess any damage and if emergency response is needed.”

Todd Gloria, the mayor of San Diego, posted on X.

“San Diego experienced a strong earthquake centered near Julian. There’s no known visible or major damage to the city so far and I’m in communication with local, state, and federal officials,” he wrote.

Phone calls from beyond the grave? The story of Charles E Peck

Charles E Peck was among the passengers on the commuter train carrying 225 riders that collided with a freight train on September 12, 2008, at 4:22 p.m. in California’s San Fernando Valley.

It was one of the deadliest accidents California has ever seen, leaving 25 people dead and 135 injured.

Charles E Peck had worked as a customer service agent for Delta Airlines at Salt Lake City International Airport for 19 years but was looking for a change. Following his divorce and meeting someone new, he believed a new job would complete his new life. At the time of the deadly crash, he was traveling to LA for a job interview.

When they heard of the accident, Peck’s fiancé, Andrea Katz, and his family, who lived around the LA, headed to the site.

His body was recovered from the wreckage 12 hours after the crash.

However, during the first 11 hours, his loved ones received a total of 35 calls from him. He called his brother, his stepmother, his fiancé, his son, and his sister. All they could hear was static. When they called back, their calls went straight to voicemail, which was rather strange.

Still, the calls from Peck gave them hope that he could still be alive but trapped in the wreckage.

“You look at your phone and it’s Dad!” Peck’s son, CJ, said in a 2008 interview with Daily Breeze. “He can’t be dead.”

His sister, Barbara Lopez added: “For us, it was just hope. We had no idea he had already perished.”

Although the calls went straight to voicemail, Peck’s son still left numerous messages, hoping his dad would hear them. He assured him they all loved him and that help was on the way.

Eventually, Peck was located through the signal of his mobile phone. Before the fatal crash, he had only one stop left.

The strangest thing of all was that the coroner determined Charles E Peck died upon impact and there was no chance he was alive when the crash happened, not even for a short period of time, let alone for 11 hours, the period during which all the calls to his loved ones were made.

How those calls were made remains a mystery until this very day, especially because the phone couldn’t be recovered.

Some believe that the phone started malfunctioning and called those on the speed list, while others consider it a paranormal experience.

However, his family found solace in those calls with his son saying it was a message from his father “letting us know he’s not suffering.”

Cutting-edge biomaterial could help repair damaged joint cartilage

Cartilage is a strong, flexible connective tissue that protects the joints and bones and acts as a shock absorber throughout the body.

The cartilage in the knee has no direct blood supply which makes it hard, if not impossible to heal, with most tears requiring surgery.

However, in what they describe a revolutionary discovery, scientists developed a new biomaterial that successfully regenerated high-quality cartilage in the knee joints of sheep.

The innovative injectable substance could potentially help repair joint damage caused by degenerative diseases such as osteoarthritis, as well as sports injuries such as anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears.

“Cartilage is a critical component in our joints,” says Samuel I. Stupp of Northwestern University, whose team of scientists is behind this new innovation. “When it becomes damaged or breaks down over time, it can have a great impact on people’s overall health and mobility. The problem is that, in adult humans, cartilage does not have an inherent ability to heal. Our new therapy can induce repair in a tissue that does not naturally regenerate. We think our treatment could help address a serious, unmet clinical need.”

The biomaterial is made of two components: a bioactive peptide that binds to a protein vital for cartilage growth, and modified hyaluronic acid.

“Many people are familiar with hyaluronic acid because it’s a popular ingredient in skincare products,” Stupp said. “It’s also naturally found in many tissues throughout the human body, including the joints and brain. We chose it because it resembles the natural polymers found in cartilage.”

Stupp’s team developed a scaffold using these two components that mimics natural cartilage, signaling the body’s own cells to regenerate the damaged tissue.

They tested it on sheep because their hind legs are similar to human knee in terms of structure and the weight they bear. “A study on a sheep model is more predictive of how the treatment will work in humans,” Stupp said. “In other smaller animals, cartilage regeneration occurs much more readily.”

The biomaterial injected into the sheep’s stifle joint formed a rubber-like matrix. As it dissolved, new cartilage grew in, surpassing the control tissue in quality during testing.

Scientists believe this method to be more successful and less invasive compared to the present options, which include creating microscopic fractures on the bone to encourage new cartilage growth and complete knee replacement.
