“Where Is Your Baby?” — The 2025 Tragedy That Shook America

Moshe Ehrlich, a 35-year-old father from Lakewood, New Jersey, is facing charges of child endangerment after the heartbreaking death of his 4-month-old son, who was left inside the family minivan for over two hours on March 18. According to a probable cause affidavit, Ehrlich had long feared this very scenario. He told investigators that he had developed several methods to prevent himself from forgetting his baby in the car, including placing his hat on the front passenger seat as a visual reminder. But despite these precautions, a hectic morning caused his routine to unravel. That morning, Ehrlich was preparing his six children for the day while his wife, Faiga Ehrlich, left for work around 9:30 a.m. Due to their 6-year-old missing the school bus, Ehrlich had to take on extr...

Wisconsin Clerk Resigns After Nearly 200 Ballots Go Uncounted

The city clerk of Wisconsin’s capital, Madison, has resigned following investigations into her failure to count nearly 200 absentee ballots during the November election. On Monday, Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway’s office announced that City Clerk Maribeth Witzel-Behl had officially stepped down. According to the mayor’s spokesperson, Dylan Brogan, she submitted her resignation last Thursday. However, due to a clause in her contract that gave her several days to reconsider, the announcement was delayed. The Wisconsin Elections Commission began an investigation in early January after discovering that 192 absentee ballots had gone uncounted. Witzel-Behl did not notify the commission until December 18, more than a month after the election and after the canvassing process had concluded...

Wall Street Journal Blasts Trump’s Tariffs: 3 Big Ways They Hurt Americans

The Wall Street Journal delivered a sharp critique of President Donald Trump’s unpredictable trade policy, cautioning that American consumers are now bearing the brunt of a “triple whammy” under his tariff strategy. In an editorial titled “Trump’s Exceptional Tariff Weekend,” published on Sunday, the paper’s conservative editorial board described the past weekend as chaotic and confusing, highlighting what they called the “arbitrary nature of Trump trade policy.” The confusion began when the administration announced a temporary exemption on tariffs for imported electronics like smartphones and laptops. Soon after, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick stated that those tariffs would increase again shortly. Then, on Sunday, Trump posted on social media that “NOBODY is getting ‘off...

Xi Jinping’s Latest Message to Trump Could Shake Global Markets

Xi Jinping has warned that “no one wins” in a trade war, as he begins a diplomatic tour of Southeast Asia aimed at portraying China as a responsible global power, in contrast to the United States under Donald Trump. The warning appeared in an editorial co-published by Chinese and Vietnamese media, ahead of Xi’s visit to Vietnam. Analysts believe the trip is part of China’s broader effort to present itself as a stabilizing force amid rising global tensions triggered by Trump’s aggressive trade policies. While Trump recently paused most of the tariffs following a sharp stock market drop, significant duties remain in place on Chinese goods, with some exports facing tariffs as high as 145 percent. In response, Beijing has imposed its own 125 percent tariffs on U.S. imports and pledge...

Trump Eyes Tariffs on Medicines and Semiconductors: What It Means for You?

The Trump administration is preparing to impose tariffs on semiconductors and pharmaceuticals, moving forward with national security investigations into imports from those sectors, as revealed in notices published Monday in the Federal Register. This move adds to the turbulence in the global trade landscape, which has already been shaken by a flurry of tariff announcements, rollbacks, and changes from the Trump administration over the past two weeks, triggering sharp reactions in financial markets. Although semiconductors and pharmaceuticals were initially exempt from the 10% tariffs imposed on most imports starting April 5, Trump had stated they would be subject to separate levies. On Sunday, he mentioned that the tariff rate on semiconductors would be revealed in the coming wee...

South Carolina Restaurant Demands Payment for Food Never Served—Customers Speak Out

There’s nothing quite like realizing you’re dead wrong—after you've already made a scene. Today’s episode of “The Loud and Unprofessional” brings us to South Carolina, where a restaurant owner tried to publicly shame a customer into paying for a meal… that they never even received. Instead of taking a moment to get the facts straight, the owner jumped to the conclusion that the customers were trying to dine and dash. So, he decided to call them out in front of the entire restaurant. But when the woman he was accusing finally had a chance to explain, you could almost see the lightbulb go off as the owner slowly realized he’d messed up. The restaurant—identified in the comments as The Grill in Manning, South Carolina—had indeed brought out the pork chops the customers ordered. ...

Why Protesters Say “Honk If You Hate Elon” — And Why It’s Working?

Americans angry over Elon Musk’s sweeping cuts to federal services aren’t just venting online — they’re showing up in person. Across the country, frustrated citizens are staging demonstrations outside Tesla showrooms, and it’s starting to rattle Musk. “Who is funding and organizing all these paid protests?” he complained on X, referring to the nationwide “Tesla Takedown” protests. But maybe Musk should be asking a different question: “Who designed my showrooms to be so protest-friendly?” The answer? Elon Musk himself. While traditional car dealerships are typically located on the outskirts of cities, Tesla flipped the script. Of the 276 Tesla showrooms in the U.S., most sit right in the heart of affluent, bustling neighborhoods—often where wealthy progressives live, shop, and din...

Major Update: Social Security Filing Process Gets a Big Overhaul

The Social Security Administration (SSA), which distributes monthly benefits to about 70 million Americans, has come under fire recently for its short-lived decision to block many claimants from verifying their identities over the phone. That decision has now been reversed. Originally, the SSA had announced that individuals unable to verify their identity online would be required to visit an office in person for all new benefit claims and direct deposit changes. However, this policy was later revised to exempt recipients of Social Security Disability Insurance, Medicare, and Supplemental Security Income. What You Need to Know? The SSA has now confirmed that all beneficiaries will once again be able to verify their identity over the phone. Starting April 14, 2025, the SSA wi...

Musk’s Involvement in DOGE Raises Ethical and Legal Concerns​

Elon Musk, the high-profile tech billionaire, could soon be stepping away from his role in the Trump administration, as a group of lawmakers pushes for his removal. This comes amid growing backlash over Musk’s controversial behavior online, including a recent outburst on Twitter in response to a poll showing his declining popularity. A total of 77 Democratic lawmakers have called on the White House to set a May 30 deadline for Musk to conclude his involvement with the administration. Officials close to President Trump have reportedly raised concerns, even suggesting Musk might be under the influence. His various roles within the administration have been loosely defined, ranging from head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), to an advisor to Trump to a “special ...

Why Democrats Are Finally Talking Impeachment—and Why They Might Be Right?

Since January 20, there's been growing talk of a constitutional crisis—a president acting as if he's above the law, trying to rule like a king in everything but name. Yet despite this, most elected Democrats have carefully avoided using one specific word. Their warnings ring hollow when they refuse to say what’s becoming painfully obvious. It’s time to stop dancing around it: Donald Trump must be impeached and removed from office. A handful of members of Congress have dared to say so out loud. That’s a start. But to break the silence, public pressure is critical—and more powerful than many realize. A grassroots volunteer movement called “Operation Anti-King” has begun organizing in every congressional district, directly contacting lawmakers. Alongside Rep. Al Green of Texa...
