Two migrants from Venezuela are accused of murdering a 12-year-old girl in Houston, Texas, Monday and dumping her body in a creek.
Johan Jose Rangel Martinez, 21, and Franklin Jose Pena Ramos, 26, were charged Thursday with capital murder for the death of Jocelyn Nungaray.
Investigators identified the two from surveillance footage, where they were seen following Nungaray walking into a local convenience store.
5 Illegal Immigrants Charged With Kidnapping 14-Year-Old Girl In American Heartland
The arrests were made after the Missouri State Highway Patrol was notified that the girl’s cell phone was pinged going westbound down U.S. highway 36 and a trooper spotted an SUV matching the description of the vehicle she was believed to be traveling in.
The men were 44-year-old Marlon Aguilar of Honduras, 41-year-old Arturo Eustaquio from Mexico, 56-year-old Carlos Funez of Honduras, 24-year-old Noe Guzman Hernandez of Mexico and 19-year-old Daniel Ruiz Lopez of Honduras.
All five individuals are considered flight risks because they are in the U.S. illegally, according to probable cause statements filed by the Missouri State Highway Patrol and reviewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation. The men were subsequently placed into Macon County Jail.
The arresting officer said the men were trafficking her from Indiana to California, according to the court documents.
The arrests follow other high-profile crimes allegedly committed by illegal immigrants, such as the murder of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley, the rape and murder of a Maryland mother of five while on a hiking trail and the shooting of two New York Police Department officers during a police chase…

Barista Smashes Customer’s Windshield With Hammer After He Throws Coffee at Her
The barista captured on video breaking a drive-through customer’s windshield with a hammer after the customer threw coffee at her is speaking out.
Video of the incident shows the customer getting out of his car, apparently because he was upset about being charged $20 for a coffee and water. He wanted $5 off, but the barista and owner of the business, 23-year-old Emma Lee, said no.
At one point, Lee, while holding the man’s order, demands he leave. “If you don’t leave, I’m going to throw this on you. Do you want me to throw this on you?” she says.
After Lee gave the customer his drinks, he threw the water at her, and then the coffee.
Video of the incident has since gone viral on social media…
FBI raids home of Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao
The Duongs have been the subject of an investigation by the city’s Public Ethics Commission since 2020 over allegations they used “straw donors,” or obscure third-party entities, to funnel money to City Council candidates in past elections.
Thao, a first-term council member at the time, was alleged to have received money through the alleged straw-donor scheme, along with current council members Rebecca Kaplan and Dan Kalb, plus former councilmembers Larry Reid and Lynette Gibson McElhaney.
The complaint has remained under investigation since then, with few official updates. California Waste Solutions is a close partner and major sponsor of the Oakland-based Vietnamese American Business Association, which last year contributed heavily to a Bay Area delegation to Vietnam that involved lunches with foreign officials and tours of the country’s electric-vehicle manufacturing plants. David Duong is the chairman of the association.
The 11-day business trip was led by Thao — whose own travel expenses were covered by the Port of Oakland — and included numerous city and Alameda County officials, including Sheriff Yesenia Sanchez, Supervisor Lena Tam, along with actor Danny Glover….
Disney VP Discriminatory Hiring Practices: “There’s No Way We’re Hiring a White Male.”
Senior Vice President at The Walt Disney Company details discriminatory hiring practices: “Nobody else is going to tell you this, but they’re not considering any white males for the job,” says Michael Giordano, a Vice President of Business affairs, “there’s no way we’re hiring a white male.”
Giordano reveals Disney uses “code words and buzzwords” to avoid legal action and even mentions a candidate being rejected for not looking black enough.
A Russian submarine that just left Cuba appears to be ‘falling apart’ with its soundproofing panels falling off, analyst says
One of Russia’s newest and most advanced submarines, which just left Cuba, appears to be “falling apart” and to have damage to its hull, an open-source-intelligence analyst said.
Marijn Markus, a managing consultant at Capgemini, shared four photos of the nuclear-powered Kazan in a LinkedIn post on Monday.
Markus said it appeared the sub’s soundproofing panels were “falling off” the front part of the submarine’s hull. He said that would make the vessel “very” loud underwater and compromise its stealth capabilities.
He also pointed to what he described as a “gaping” hole at the sub’s midsection.
“While docked, Russian divers were seen around the sub, presumably trying to repair the tin tub,” he said…

The Taliban is ABUSING the People of Afghanistan
It’s been less than three years since Joe Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. Terrorists have flooded back into the country to train, and the next 9/11 may be much closer than most of us realize.
And to no one’s surprise, women and girls in Afghanistan are facing severe repression from the Taliban. But their cries are met with a cold silence in the Biden White House.
Donald Sutherland, the towering actor whose career spanned ‘M.A.S.H.’ to ‘Hunger Games,’ dies at 88
Donald Sutherland, the prolific film and television actor whose long career stretched from “M.A.S.H.” to “The Hunger Games,” has died. He was 88.
Kiefer Sutherland, the actor’s son, confirmed his father’s death Thursday. No further details were immediately available.
“I personally think one of the most important actors in the history of film,” Kiefer Sutherland said on X. “Never daunted by a role, good, bad or ugly. He loved what he did and did what he loved, and one can never ask for more than that.”
The tall and gaunt Canadian actor with a grin that could be sweet or diabolical was known for offbeat characters like Hawkeye Pierce in Robert Altman’s “M.A.S.H.,” the hippie tank commander in “Kelly’s Heroes” and the stoned professor in “Animal House.”
Before transitioning into a long career as a respected character actor, Sutherland epitomized the unpredictable, antiestablishment cinema of the 1970s
Over the decades, Sutherland showed his range in more buttoned-down — but still eccentric — parts in Robert Redford’s “Ordinary People” and Oliver Stone’s “JFK.” More, recently, he starred in the “Hunger Games” films. He never retired, working regularly up until his death. A memoir, “Made Up, But Still True,” was due out in November.
A US aircraft carrier and its crew have fought Houthi attacks for months. How long can it last?
As the jet sits on the deck of the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower aircraft carrier in the Red Sea, its markings illuminate the enemy targets that it’s destroyed in recent months and underscore the intensity of the fight to protect commercial shipping from persistent missile and drone attacks by the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen.
But they also hint at the fatigue setting in, as the carrier, its strike group and about 7,000 sailors close in on their ninth month waging the most intense running sea battle since World War II.
That raises difficult questions about what comes next as U.S. military and defense leaders wrangle over how they will replicate the carrier’s combat power if the ship returns home to Norfolk, Virginia.
Already, the carrier’s deployment has been extended twice, and sailors post dark memes around the ship about only getting one short break during their steadily growing tour. Some worry they could be ordered to stay out even longer as the campaign drags on to protect global trade in the vital Red Sea corridor.
Rear Adm. Marc Miguez — who commands Carrier Strike Group Two, which includes the Eisenhower and supporting ships — agrees that the aircraft carrier is crucial to America’s military.
“Every time that there’s a crisis on the globe, what’s the first thing the president asks? ‘Where are the U.S. aircraft carriers?’” Miguez told The Associated Press during a visit to the Eisenhower and the USS Laboon, one of the guided-missile destroyers accompanying it.
On any given day, Navy F/A-18s roar off the Eisenhower and take out Houthi missiles or drones preparing to launch. The U.S. warships have fired volleys of Tomahawk missiles into Yemen to destroy warehouses of weapons, communications facilities and other targets.
Navy leaders worry about the sailors, who actually have been able to see incoming Houthi-launched missiles seconds before they are destroyed by the ship’s defensive strikes. And officials in the Pentagon are talking about how to care for the sailors when they return home, including counseling and treatment for possible post-traumatic stress. Miguez also notes the strain on the ships themselves….

Police battle anti-tax demonstrators as Kenya protests spread
Anti-riot police, some on horseback, fired tear gas to disperse crowds of protesters on the streets of Nairobi.
There were similar protests in other cities and major towns across the country – including Nakuru, Eldoret, Kisumu and Nyeri.
There is a palpable anger among many Kenyans over a controversial finance bill that has introduced a number of unpopular tax proposals.
Despite the complaints, the controversial bill was passed by a majority of MPs during the second reading stage. It will now go on to the next stage where a committee will consider amendments related to the proposed taxes.
As the protests started on Tuesday, the public outcry forced the government to withdraw some of contentious provisions, including a 16% tax on bread and an annual 2.5% tax on vehicles.
But protesters say this is not enough and have demanded that legislators, who are currently debating the bill in parliament, to reject the entire bill….
Treason trial of Russian American woman opens as tensions rise between Washington and Moscow
The trial is being held behind closed doors in Yekaterinburg, in the same court that next week is to begin hearing the case of Evan Gershkovich, a Wall Street Journal reporter who was arrested in March 2023 and charged with espionage.
The defendant was identified by Russian authorities as Los Angeles resident Ksenia Karelina, although U.S. media reports frequently use the surname Khavana, the name of her ex-husband. Karelina was born in Yekaterinburg and was arrested in February while visiting her family.
Russia’s main domestic security agency, the Federal Security Service, charges that Karelina raised money for a Ukrainian organization that was providing weapons, ammunition and other supplies to the Ukrainian military. Her boyfriend has said she made a single donation of about $50 to a Ukrainian organization, according to media reports.
Karelina faces a sentence of up to 20 years in prison if convicted. Almost all Russian criminal cases that make it to court end in convictions. The trial was adjourned in the afternoon and the next session was set for Aug. 7, Russian news agencies said….
Beijing protests EU tariff increase on Chinese electric vehicles
China’s Commerce Ministry has voiced strong objections against the European Union’s decision to escalate tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, accusing Brussels of imposing unreasonable demands during its investigation into Chinese imports.
The EU plans to impose provisional tariffs ranging from 17.4% to 38.1% starting 4 July, citing concerns over alleged subsidies benefiting Chinese automakers.
Ministry spokesman He Yadong criticised the EU on Thursday for what he described as excessive information demands on Chinese companies, claiming the requirements surpassed standard anti-subsidy investigation norms.
China refrained from announcing immediate retaliatory measures but reiterated its commitment to safeguarding the interests of Chinese enterprises.
Earlier this week, Beijing initiated an anti-dumping probe into European pork exports, although it did not explicitly link this to the EU’s tariffs on electric vehicles…
Hezbollah leader issues warning to Cyprus over alleged support for Israel
In a recent televised address, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah issued stark warnings about the potential for a direct conflict with Israel, asserting that no Israeli territory would remain untouched in the event of a full-scale war.
Speaking at a memorial for senior commander Taleb Abdullah, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike, Nasrallah emphasized that while Hezbollah is not seeking a total war, it is fully prepared to fight one if provoked — and that it is continuing its support for Hamas amid escalating tensions.
Nasrallah warned that if Israel initiates a large-scale offensive against Hezbollah, the response would involve comprehensive attacks from the ground, air, and sea, significantly altering the situation in the Mediterranean.
He specifically mentioned that Israeli offshore gas rigs could become targets.
Nasrallah also threatened Cyprus, accusing it of aiding Israel by providing logistical support through its airports and bases. He declared that any such cooperation would make Cyprus a part of the conflict, thus leaving it subject to retaliation….
How California’s Paradise Become Our Purgatory
California has become a test case of the suicide of the West. Never before has such a state, so rich in natural resources and endowed with such a bountiful human inheritance, self-destructed so rapidly.
How and why did California so utterly consume its unmatched natural and ancestral inheritance and end up as a warning to Western civilization of what might be in store for anyone who followed its nihilism?
The symptoms of the state’s suicide are indisputable.
Governor Gavin Newsom enjoyed a recent $98 billion budget surplus—gifted from multibillion-dollar federal COVID-19 subsidies, the highest income and gas taxes in the nation, and among the country’s steepest sales and property taxes.
Yet in a year, he turned it into a growing $45 billion budget deficit.
At a time of an over-regulated, overtaxed, and sputtering economy, Newsom spent lavishly on new entitlements, illegal immigrants, and untried and inefficient green projects.
Newsom was endowed with two of the wettest years in recent California history. Yet he and radical environmentalists squandered the water bounty—as snowmelts and runoff long designated for agricultural irrigation were drained from aqueducts and reservoirs to flow out to sea….
