🚨 ❗ RED ALERT ONE U.S. PASSENGER IN THE 'DAMNED' MV HONDIUS HAS TESTED POSITIVE FOR HANTAVIRUS
🇺🇸⚡❗ All 17 U.S. passengers of the hantavirus cruise ship are now being flown to Nebraska for evaluation after one tested positive.
The group of 17, who were flown by a plane chartered by the US government, are due to be screened at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in the city of Omaha.
One of the group has tested positive and another has "mild symptoms", according to the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
The pair travelled in the plane's biocontainment units "out of an abundance of caution", HHS added.
Medical officials in Nebraska are next expected to determine whether others in the group are ill and in need of treatment, or healthy enough to return to their homes.
A British national who resides in the US was evacuated along with the 17 Americans.
Seven other US passengers had already returned, and are being monitored in their home states - BBC

🇪🇺 ⚡❗ Broadcasters of Spain, Slovenia and Ireland will boycott Eurovision for this year. In a major protest, RTVE (Spain), RTÉ (Ireland) and RTVSLO (Slovenia) have withdrawn from both participating in and broadcasting the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna.
The reason given is the European Broadcasting Union’s refusal to exclude Israel amid the ongoing war/blockade in Gaza.
These nations demanded a vote on Israel’s participation. When the EBU declined, they walked away, highlighting what they see as double standards — Russia was banned after invading Ukraine, yet Israel remains.
Spain’s RTVE pointed to the “appalling loss of lives” and humanitarian crisis, marking the first time since 1961 it won’t air the show. Ireland’s RTÉ called it “unconscionable” given civilian casualties and restrictions on reporting from Gaza. Slovenia’s RTVSLO is going furthest: instead of Eurovision, it will air “Voices of Palestine” — films and documentaries on the Palestinian experience, citing the deaths of thousands of children.
Over 1,100 artists have joined calls for a boycott, accusing the EBU of using the contest to whitewash politics while claiming it’s “non-political.” Supporters argue this upholds moral consistency; critics say it politicises music and punishes artists.
Born after WWII to foster unity, Eurovision now faces its deepest fracture. With major broadcasters silent, the event feels divided. Music unites — but only when values align.

❗ 🇮🇷 🇺🇸 IRAN TELLS THE WEST TO GET F*CKED
Iranian mouthpiece Baqaei just openly laughed in America's face.
Reporter: "Russia said they're ready to take Iran's enriched uranium. You said no before, the US said no. Is this even being discussed in negotiations?
"Baqaei (smirking): "We're only focused on ending the war right now. What we do with our nuclear material, enrichment, and all that later? We'll decide whenever the fuck we feel like it.
"Translation: Iran is keeping their bomb-grade uranium, telling everyone to pound sand, and will "discuss options" when they're good and ready. They're not even pretending anymore. While the West virtue-signals about "talks," the mullahs are playing 4D chess with Russia and building whatever the hell they want.
This is how empires die — negotiating with people who laugh at you. Wake the fuck up

🇱🇻 ⚡ Latvian defence minister resigns after Ukrainian drones hit oil tanks.
Earlier on Sunday, Latvian Prime Minister Evika Silina demanded the resignation, saying anti-drone systems had not been deployed fast enough. She appointed Latvian army colonel Raivis Melnis as the new defence minister.
Ukrainian foreign minister Andrii Sybiha on Sunday said on X that the drones were Ukrainian, and flew into Latvia as a result of "Russian electronic warfare deliberately diverting Ukrainian drones from their targets in Russia." - Reuters

🇺🇸❗🇨🇳 Eileen Wang, the Democrat Mayor of Arcadia, CA, has pleaded GUILTY to acting as a foreign agent on behalf of China.
The personal relationship between Eileen Wang, elected two years ago to the council of the San Gabriel Valley suburb, and Yaoning “Mike” Sun deepens questions around what Wang knew about an alleged plot to push pro-China policies, particularly regarding Taiwan.

🇺🇸🇨🇳⚡ Trump's cadillac spotted in Beijing ahead of his visit to China.
Trump heads to Beijing May 13-15 for his first China state visit in years. Expectations are modest; no big structural deals, but symbolic wins like increased Chinese purchases of U.S. soybeans, energy, Boeing jets, and rare earth commitments.
A new “Board of Trade” mechanism aims to enforce follow-through this time. Trump also wants Xi’s help pressuring Iran to end the Hormuz blockade and conflict.
China seeks trade truce stability and tech access. Analysts call it risk management over reset—photo-ops and small agreements likely, with deeper tensions on Taiwan and tech left simmering.
Pragmatic deal-making in a tense world
