Heightened federal action underway

The United States Attorney’s Office released a statement regarding the arrest of Kevin Dominguez, a 26-year-old Texas resident who drove a sedan to the U.S. Border Patrol immigration checkpoint, located on U.S. Highway 57.

As he approached the checkpoint, a trained Border Patrol canine signaled the presence of something being carried in the vehicle’s trunk.

Upon inspection, it was determined there was a person inside.

Instead of complying with the border personnel, Dominguez “backed up and struck the agent with the vehicle before fleeing the checkpoint,” prompting a high-speed chase.

A helicopter was involved in the chase and the two individuals were spotted leaving the vehicle and running in an open field. One of them was a nondocumented noncitizen from Honduras.

Dominguez was arrested in the federal action and charged with one count of assaulting, resisting or impeding certain officers or employees.

He was sentenced in a federal court in Del Rio to 18 months in prison after pleading guilty.

It is clear that the government has strengthened border control which can be clearly seen with the surge in enforcement actions across Texas. These actions involve targeted raids and high-profile prosecutions involving serious crimes, large-scale smuggling operations, and individuals with criminal records among the rest.

So far, dozen of citizens believed to be involved in criminal acts of organized smuggling operations have been arrested.

This highlights the administration’s zero-tolerance policy and signal a broader crackdown aimed stopping illegal border crossings and prosecute networks that exploit the system.

However, while many see these operations by Trump’s government as a way of strengthening national security, human right advocates warn that the government may not be following proper legal steps and might be using too much power.

Jennifer Garner actions towards wheelchair-bound homeless man

Jennifer Garner was spotted talking to a wheelchair-bounded homeless man at California’s Santa Monica Pier.

Before getting out of her car, she first handed the man a snack pack through the window of her vehicle. They chatted for a couple more seconds before she approached him and started putting socks on his feet.

She then took off one of her shoes and tried to put it on the man’s foot. However, she realized it was too small.

The Elektra star didn’t stop there. She spotted a paparazzi filming her ran over to him, asking about his shoe size and offering to buy them from him so she could give them to the wheelchair-bounded man.

The photographer, who works for the X17 Agency, offered his shoes for free and even gave some spare change to the actress to give to the homeless man. He even helped her change his clothes.

While many dubbed Garner’s act of generosity the sweetest thing ever, there were those who accused her of staging the entire thing for the sake of boosting her reputation.

“They just magically had a photographer there and they were also the same shoe size?” a person commented on X where photos of Garner and the homeless man were shared.

“Looks like a PR stunt with the high quality pictures,” another person added.

“I’m sorry but my first reaction was.. ‘OH that’s pretty cool.. Now do it again without the cameras rolling,'” a third shared.

Those who believed the photos of Garner and the homeless man were genuine took her side, claiming that as a celebrity, it’s expected she’ll be photographed by the paparazzi.

“I mean do you expect her not to be photographed?” one asked in response to the criticism. “It’s Jennifer [Garner], she’ll be photographed regardless if she wants it or not (sadly). How could she do something like this without being photographed?”

Another person added: “I will say I’ve seen her in public twice and both times she was doing kind acts with no cameras around.” 

This act of kindness only illustrates Garner’s compassionate spirit.

He was late to the father-daughter dance – His words when he walked in made me freeze

By

While I was waiting near the folding chairs for over twenty minutes for my father to arrive, the father-daughter dance had already begun and everyone was dancing. Even the school’s janitor, Mr. Wheeler, took the stage together with his niece, feeling like the happiest man on Earth.

And just as I thought he won’t be coming, I heard the door creak.

Wearing jeans, his vest, and his usual hat, my dad’s eyes met mine and I could see a feeling of regret.

“You are late,” I said.

He gave me the rose he had bought for me and said, “I had to stop by somewhere first.”

“Where?” I asked, and it took a couple of seconds before my father answered, “I just wanted to make sure she won’t stop us from having this night.”

I knew right away that he was talking about mom.

They divorced some years ago and things hadn’t been smooth for neither of us ever since.

“I told her I wasn’t going to miss another father-daughter dance,” my dad said.

We had the most amazing time that night. I even forgot that he wasn’t there on time because I knew he was doing his best to be as present as possible.

When he was about to drop me home, my father turned to me and said, “Honey, there is something you need to know. When I stopped by at mom’s place before I arrived at the dance party, she told me she was moving to St. Louis, and she’s taking you with her. But I won’t allow that. Not if you don’t want to go there yourself.”

I froze. Moving places wasn’t something I wanted at the time. All my friends were here, my school, the teachers I got to love.

“But don’t think about that now. We’ll see how things will turn out,” my dad said as he stopped by our favorite pizza place on the way home.

In the days to come, things turned heated.

My mom requested a sole custody of me, and my father fought that at court.

Eventually, they determined I was old enough to make my own judgement and decide who to stay with. When I talked to a guardian ad litem, I explained that my father wasn’t always there, but when he was, he was fully committed. And mom, she meant well, but she sometimes failed to listen.

Going to St. Louis seemed like e huge thing at the time, and I decided to stay with my father.

Pexels

Mom was sad and disappointed, but she eventually came to terms with my decision. She did move, but she visited on the weekends.

Today I’m in college and living on my own. My relationship with both my parents is a healthy one. The most important of all is that I know they are there for me.

And as of my dad, ever since that father-daughter dance, he never failed to show up.

A couple on the plane said my scar frightened them

By
Monica Pop

The car crash that left me scarred for life changed my life forever. The sound of a shattering glass resonated deeply with me as I was doing my best to recover from the trauma.

My scar, fresh and still red in some places, ran from just above my left eyebrow down past my cheek and ended near my jawline. For weeks, I avoided the mirror and couldn’t stand looking at my own face while my family and friends tried to comfort me. “That scar is a symbol of resilience and a second chance in life,” my mom would say.

Deep down, however, I was scared of the stares from strangers. I didn’t want people to look at me and wonder why I looked the way I did. But that scar was now part of me and I had to learn how to live with it.

Pexels

My dermatologist said it would fade a bit over time, but I knew that my scar was there to stay.

One day, as I boarded a plane to get back home and visit my family, I put my headphones on and drifted off to sleep.

Some time later, I was awoken by the couple arguing next to me. At first, I didn’t understand what they were saying, but it became obvious that they were talking about it.

They judged me instantly, just by looking at me.

The man turned to me and said, “Can’t you cover your face? You make me and my girlfriend uncomfortable. Your appearance is frightening.”

Pexels

The woman covered her nose with her sweater, and I remained quiet while he called the flight attendant.

“This woman is upsetting us. Please move her to another seat,” the man said, pointing at me.

The flight attendant approached me and asked me if I was all right. I just nodded, unable to say a word without letting tears rolling down my face.

She then turned to the couple and said, “Sir, ma’am, I must ask that you lower your voices and show respect for your fellow passengers. she said in a firm yet courteous tone.

“We are all here to travel in comfort and peace, and your comments are causing unnecessary disturbance.”

But the couple persisted. They demanded I change seats.

Pexels

The flight attendant left and that’s when the captain‘s voice echoed. “Ladies and gentlemen, this is your flight attendant speaking. We ask that you please maintain a respectful tone and refrain from any further comments that may be hurtful or discriminatory. Thank you.”

I was offered a seat at business class. Not because the flight attendant wanted to please the couple’s outrageous demand but because she thought I deserved to spend the rest of the flight in peace.

That day, I learned that there will always be someone there who would stare at me and question my beauty, but I know that the true beauty comes from the inside and is inspired by resilience and self-love.

Trump health fears grow as ‘catheter’ spotted during White House event

By

President Donald Trump bragged about the results of his first physical examination since taking Office for the second time. The tests also included cognitive assessment.

“I took a cognitive test. And I don’t know what to tell you, other than I got every answer right. I took just a lot of different tests, having to do with the heart, having to do with other things,” Trump said in April.

Dr. Sean Barbabella, who performed the five-hour medical exam at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, declared Trump “fully fit.”

Trump attended the UFC and photos of him caught the attention of many who claimed he was wearing what appeared to be a "catheter."

“President Trump exhibits excellent cognitive and physical health and is fully fit to execute the duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Head of State,” Barbabella wrote in his report regarding the test results. “He remains in excellent health, exhibiting robust cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, and general physical function.

“His active lifestyle continues to contribute significantly to his well-being.”

However, despite these results, fears over Trump’s health started growing after a “catheter” was spotted in his pants during a White House event.

Trump attended the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) on June 9 and a couple of photos of him that were shared online caught the attention of many who claimed he was having what appeared to be a “catheter.”

“Trump appears to wearing leg braces and possibly a catheter. The weakness on his right side has been pretty evident for a number of years. And the bruising on his right hand might be caused from his receiving infusion therapy of some sort. Common with a Parkinson’s type disease,” one person wrote on X.

Another said, “Trump is absolutely wearing a Foley catheter. It’s a tube inserted into the bladder to drain urine into a bag strapped to the leg. That line down his pants? Not a crease. It’s tubing. Every step he takes sounds like the sloshing of a warm Capri Sun.”

“Foley catheter. Urinary incontinence is a symptom of late stage Prefrontal Temporal Dementia,” a third commented.

Other users suspected he could be wearing a leg brace.

Of course, there were also those who claimed it wasn’t a catheter.

“No it isn’t. That pant leg is close fitting and that perfectly straight line is a crease. Foley catheters are absolutely not standard of care except post procedure. A walkie talkie patient gets self-cath or male pads,” one post read.

White House spokesperson Steven Cheung commented on the matter.

“The President has been the most transparent president in history, and the recent medical report that was released clearly and unequivocally shows he is in peak condition,” he told Snopes in an email.

“These conspiracy theories peddled by demented individuals hiding behind social media, and now being given a platform by the fake news, clearly suffer from a debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. These are the same people who have been caught trying to gaslight the American people for years by saying Joe Biden was cognitively fine, when in fact, he was in much worse condition than thought.”

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the arrest of two Ukrainian nationals who voted in the US elections illegally.

The arrests were made with the help of the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) when Elon Musk was still the head of the department.

Svitlana Demydenko, 53, and her daughter Yelyzaveta, 22, the Ukrainian nationals under arrest, entered the US in April 2021 with non-immigrant visas.

While residing in Florida in August 2024, the mother and daughter registered to vote through a process that demands citizenship certification. They, however, bypassed this check and got to vote in the 2024 General Election.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem said in a social media post, “In partnership with @DOGE, @ICEgov arrested two Ukrainian nationals for illegally VOTING in the 2024 election.”

She added that, “Under President Donald Trump, if you come to our country and break our laws, you will face the consequences.”

When questioned about their participation in the voting, Svitlana claimed she wasn’t aware that she wasn’t allowed to vote, while her daughter said she registered to vote because she wanted to make a difference.

Both have been charged with unlawfully voting in the General Election for United States President during early voting in Palm Beach, Fla., on Oct. 31, 2024.

According to a report by Breitbart News on April 7, an official from the Department of Government Efficiency claimed that millions of migrants welcomed to the country under former President Joe Biden’s administration are registered voters, with some having voted in the 2024 election.

“Most recently, DOGE chief Elon Musk said that potentially millions of illegal aliens who arrived in the U.S. under Biden have secured Social Security numbers,” Breitbart News’s John Binder wrote.

20 subtle cancer symptoms commonly missed

By
Bryan Seal
-

Your body has an incredible way of signaling when something might be wrong, including early warning signs of cancer. Listening closely to these signals can help in spotting diseases early, allowing for timely medical intervention. If you notice any of these early warning signs of cancer, it’s important to consult a doctor to determine if further testing is necessary.

Indirect Symptoms

Cancer doesn’t always show its hand directly. Often, the body manifests signs that aren’t obviously linked to the primary tumor or affected area. Recognizing these subtle symptoms can make a significant difference in early detection.

Wheezing or Shortness of Breath

Lung cancer patients often recall this as one of their earliest symptoms, though they didn’t initially associate it with cancer.

Frequent Fevers or Infections

A sign of leukemia, this occurs when abnormal white blood cells hinder your body’s ability to fight infections.

Difficulty Swallowing

Commonly linked to throat cancer, but it may also indicate lung cancer in some cases.

Weakness and Fatigue

Fatigue is such a common symptom of cancer that it’s best evaluated in combination with other early warning signs of cancer.

Feeling Full and Unable to Eat

This could be an early indicator of ovarian cancer, particularly when paired with a persistent loss of appetite.

Visible Bodily Changes

Cancer can also bring about physical changes that are more noticeable. These changes often depend on the type and stage of the disease, but they can provide crucial clues for early detection.

Rectal Bleeding or Blood in Stool

This is a common warning sign of colorectal cancer and should prompt immediate medical attention.

Lumps in the Neck, Underarms, or Groin Area

Swollen lymph nodes might indicate changes in the lymphatic system, potentially signaling cancer.

Excessive Bruising or Bleeding That Doesn’t Stop

Abnormalities in platelet or red blood cell function, often linked to leukemia, can lead to unexplained bleeding or bruising.

Bloating or Abdominal Weight Gain

Many ovarian cancer patients report sudden, persistent bloating as a primary early symptom.

Unexplained Weight Loss

This can be an early sign of colon or digestive cancers and may also occur when cancer spreads to the liver.

Red, Sore, or Swollen Breasts

Inflammatory breast cancer can cause these changes, while a nipple appearing flattened or inverted may also signal trouble.

Pain Symptoms

Persistent pain in specific areas of the body could also be a sign of cancer. Understanding these pain-related symptoms can help identify the need for further medical evaluation.

Unusually Heavy or Painful Periods, or Bleeding Between Periods

This is a common symptom of endometrial or uterine cancer.

Chronic Cough or Chest Pain

Cancers such as leukemia and lung cancer often cause symptoms that resemble bronchitis or a persistent bad cough.

Pelvic or Abdominal Pain

Pain and cramping in the pelvic area are frequently linked with ovarian cancer. Leukemia can also enlarge the spleen, causing abdominal pain.

Pain in the Back or Lower Right Side

This is often an early warning sign of cancer in the liver. Breast cancer might also cause back pain when tumors press against the chest or spread to the spine.

Upset Stomach or Persistent Stomach Pain

Frequent stomach cramps or discomfort can indicate colorectal cancer.

How to Reduce Your Risk

If you notice any of these early warning signs of cancer, don’t panic—but do consult a doctor for proper guidance. Early detection can save lives. Additionally, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, normalizing vitamin D levels, and reducing environmental toxin exposure are crucial steps in cancer prevention.
