The ancient enmity between China and Japan has erupted into one of the most dangerous faceoffs in the Asia-Pacific in decades, with Tokyo openly threatening Beijing with military action if it invades Taiwan. It is believed that the Chinese president, Xi Jinping, has ordered his forces to be ready to seize the island by 2027 and is now warning Tokyo would 'bear all consequences' if it dares to get in the way. Officials from the two sides have since traded barbs, with one from China warning of decapitating 'dirty necks', seen as a direct threat to Japan's prime minister, Sanae...

American troops have stormed a Mexican beach setting off a diplomatic firestorm amid soaring tensions after Donald Trump threatened to bomb the country. US 'contractors' arrived by boat on Monday to 'Playa Bagdad', driving signs into the sand near where the Rio Grande empties into the Gulf of Mexico.

The US housing market is now the strongest buyer's market in records dating back more than a decade, but that doesn't mean they are biting. New Redfin data shows home sellers outnumbered buyers by 36.8 percent in October, with 528,769 more sellers than buyers nationwide. That imbalance is the highest since the years following the 2008 financial crisis, and it has flooded the market with listings and forced sellers to slash prices across much of the country. In theory, buyers should now have the upper hand: more homes to choose from, more room to negotiate, and far less competition. But...

A vast trove of Jeffrey Epstein's private calendars and emails are being revealed today by DailyMail.com. The hundreds of pages in the files give an unprecedented insight into the late pedophile's extraordinary network of power and influence. Among the revelations is that Epstein appeared to know personal details about the marriage of Bill Gates and his ex-wife Melinda – while magician David Blaine had numerous dinners with the financier.

The saga of now-deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s “fixer” Ghislaine Maxwell continues to grind on, generating headlines that the New York Post and the Daily Mail in the UK simply can’t resist. And let’s be honest… neither can many of the rest of us. The Daily Mail has uncovered (pun intended) yet another gem from the disgraced madam’s upcoming court proceedings. If the reports turn out to be accurate, the court now has videos of a very provocative, if not pornographic nature involving unnamed “individuals” who may have been with some of Epstein’s young victims. And until some names are attached...

US President Donald Trump's 'secret' city-destroying nuclear weapon appears to have been pictured for the first time by a planespotter during an alleged test flight. Californian plane enthusiast Ian Recchio spotted the flying object while attempting to picture military aircrafts while overlooking the Owen Valley. Now, military experts believe it could be the AGM-181 LRSO, the US Air Force's (USAF) next-generation stealth nuclear cruise missile. The missile is set to replace the Cold War-era AGM-86B and will be carried by both the forthcoming £585m B-21 Raider and upgraded B-52 bombers. It is thought the weapon will have an adjustable nuclear...

The female migrant who was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers at Salt Lake City airport did not know she had a long-serving deportation order, according to a lawyer working on her case. Marta Brizeyda Renderos Leiva, 39, was arrested by plain-clothed agents at the Utah travel hub last Wednesday. Footage of her arrest showed the wailing mother-of-four imploring, 'Help me, I have my papers' as she was taken into custody by ICE.

Archaeologists in Egypt have uncovered the remains of a massive 3,000-year-old fortress along an ancient route many believe was traveled during the biblical Exodus.The stronghold, recently unearthed in North Sinai, lies directly on the fabled Horus Military Road, the same route the Book of Exodus describes as the shorter path the Israelites avoided when Moses led them out of Egypt.Experts said the discovery provides tangible evidence that the road, long thought to be a key setting in the Exodus narrative, truly existed and was heavily fortified during the period traditionally associated with the Israelites' escape. The site's age, scale, and...

A blind man protesting in front of a South Portland ICE facility was brutally detained by federal agents who allegedly dropped him on his head as they hauled him away. Quinn Haberl wore a neon vest as he sat on the side of the building's driveway during a protest on Saturday. While he was right beside a thick blue line painted on the ground to indicate where federal property begins, suggesting he had not passed the boundary.

President Donald Trump summoned FBI Director Kash Patel, Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche to the White House on Wednesday. The president's public schedule described the meeting as an update on the fight against violent crime. But once everyone was in the room, Trump made it clear he had something else in mind. It was time, the president said, to speed the indictments of his political foes - the former officials who, he alleges, tried to destroy him and his family.

Deborah Brockman, a veteran producer at WGN-TV, was forced to the ground as mask-wearing Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers cuffed her in the Chicago suburb of Lincoln Square on Friday. The officers behind Brockman's arrest stopped at nothing to take her into custody - damaging a resistant driver's SUV after they refused to move out of the way. The CBP agents were driving in the area while conducting immigration enforcement operations when Brockman allegedly threw something at their vehicle, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). She was arrested for assaulting a federal agent, but was released from...

US stocks tumbled Friday after President Donald Trump threatened a massive increase in tariffs on Chinese imports. The threat is retaliation for China's new restrictions on rare earth exports — materials vital for AI, semiconductors, defense, and high-tech industries.
