The governor of New York is losing control.
Another terrorist supporter is refused entry into the country.
And more destruction in the name of climate change. You can’t make this crap up.
This Is the Way
Dr. Rasha Alawieh, a Lebanese kidney transplant specialist and assistant professor at Brown University, was denied entry into the U.S. and deported to Lebanon after attending the funeral of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah during a recent trip. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials found photos and videos related to Hezbollah on her phone, including deleted content, and claimed she expressed support for the group, which the U.S. designates as a terrorist organization.
Dr. Alawieh held a valid H-1B visa and had worked in the U.S. since 2018. She was detained at Boston Logan Airport upon her return and deported before a federal court hearing could take place, despite a judge’s order to delay her removal for 48 hours. The Department of Homeland Security justified the deportation by stating that supporting or glorifying terrorists is grounds for visa denial. Her attorneys argue that due process was violated, and advocacy groups have criticized the decision as unjust.

The Middle Finger
Several New York counties, including Chemung, Oneida, and Rensselaer, are defying Governor Kathy Hochul’s executive order prohibiting the rehiring of approximately 2,000 correctional officers fired for striking over prison conditions. The counties argue the order unlawfully infringes on local hiring authority and worsens staffing shortages in jails.
- Chemung County has filed a lawsuit, claiming the order is unconstitutional and disrupts their ability to hire experienced personnel.
- Oneida County passed a resolution to potentially sue, asserting that the order oversteps state authority and violates home rule powers.
- Rensselaer County‘s executive outright rejected the order, vowing to hire fired officers despite potential legal challenges.
Critics, including lawmakers and sheriffs, have condemned the directive as an abuse of power. They argue it unjustly blacklists officers while exacerbating understaffing in New York prisons, where National Guard members have been deployed as temporary replacements.

You Can’t Make This Shit Up
Brazil is facing widespread criticism for clearing tens of thousands of acres of protected Amazon rainforest to construct a new four-lane highway for the COP30 climate summit, set to take place in Belém in November 2025. The highway, intended to accommodate over 50,000 attendees, including world leaders, has sparked outrage among conservationists and locals who argue it contradicts the summit’s environmental goals.
The deforestation impacts biodiversity and carbon absorption, with concerns raised about wildlife displacement and loss of livelihoods for local communities. Residents like Claudio Verequete have already seen their income from harvesting açaí berries destroyed without compensation. While Brazilian officials promote the highway’s “sustainable” features, such as wildlife crossings and solar lighting, critics remain skeptical.
This development highlights the tension between infrastructure needs for global events and environmental preservation, undermining the summit’s purpose of addressing climate change.
An Act of War!
A suspected “extermination site” has been discovered at an abandoned ranch near Teuchitlán, Jalisco, Mexico, believed to have been used by the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). Volunteers searching for missing relatives uncovered cremation ovens, human remains, bone fragments, and over 700 personal items, including clothing and toys. The site appears to have served as both a training base and a location for forced recruitment and killings.
Authorities had previously raided the ranch in September 2024 but failed to uncover the extent of the atrocities. The discovery has sparked outrage and demands for accountability amid fears of a cover-up, with advocates questioning potential collusion between cartels and local authorities. The federal government has now taken over the investigation.

I Agree With the Jury
A California man, Michael Garcia, has been awarded $50 million in a lawsuit against Starbucks. The incident occurred in 2020 when a scalding hot tea spilled onto his lap at a drive-thru, causing severe third-degree burns to his genital area. Garcia’s lawyers argued that the barista failed to secure the drink properly in the takeout tray, leading to the accident. Despite Starbucks expressing sympathy, the company disagrees with the verdict and plans to appeal, considering the damages excessive. Garcia has undergone multiple surgeries and suffers from permanent disfigurement and PTSD.
