Trump AXES Funding for California Rail Project | SLAMS ‘Newscum’ Over $130B ‘Train to Nowhere’ Plan

In a fiery declaration, U.S. President Donald Trump has officially axed all federal funding for California’s long-delayed and over-budget high-speed rail project. Calling it the “HIGH SPEED TRAIN TO NOWHERE,” Trump accused Governor Gavin Newsom—mockingly dubbed “Newscum”—of overseeing a $130 billion disaster that has delivered nothing but cost overruns and broken promises. Despite decades of work and billions spent, the rail line connecting San Francisco to Los Angeles remains incomplete and years behind schedule. Trump praised Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy for ensuring that not “a single penny” more will be wasted on the project. The move not only highlights Trump’s disdain for the project but also signals a political jab at one of his most prominent Democratic rivals. With this announcement, Trump rallies fiscal conservatives and taxpayers, painting himself as the guardian of their wallets against California’s “boondoggle.” #TrumpNews #CaliforniaRail #HighSpeedRail #TrainToNowhere #NewsomScam #TrumpVsNewsom #FederalFundingCut #GavinNewsom #TrumpSpeech #USPolitics #InfrastructureFail #RailProjectCancelled #TransportationNews #TrumpAnnouncement #SeanDuffy #CaliforniaBudget #TaxpayerMoney #PoliticalShowdown #Trump2024 #WastedBillions

Russia’s BIGGEST Attack On Ukraine Yet? Drops 500-KG Aerial Bomb On Ukraine’s Donetsk Oblast

A Russian 500-kg aerial bomb reduced a bustling shopping center in Ukraine's Donetsk Oblast to rubble, killing two and injuring at least 28 on July 16. The heart of Dobropillia city was targeted in a broad daylight strike that left more than 54 shops destroyed, over 300 apartments damaged, and multiple cars obliterated. A massive fire erupted after the impact, prompting an urgent response from emergency crews. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky denounced the attack as "horrendous, dumb Russian terror" devoid of military rationale. This violent escalation comes just two days after U.S. President Donald Trump issued a 50-day ultimatum, warning of severe tariffs on Russia unless a peace deal is reached. Despite repeated warnings, Russia continues its brutal offensive with impunity. The civilian toll rises, as Ukraine's east remains under siege in the face of international deadlines and unrelenting destruction. #RussiaUkraineWar #DonetskAttack #DobropilliaBombing #TrumpRussiaUltimatum #UkraineUnderFire #Zelensky #500kgBomb #RussianWarCrimes #ShoppingCenterStrike #UkraineNews #EasternUkraine #WarInUkraine #PutinStrike #UkraineCivilianCasualties #TerrorBombing #DobropilliaStrike #BreakingNewsUkraine #TrumpRussiaTariffs #StopRussianAggression #UkraineCrisis ~HT.318~ED.102~GR.122~

Ukrainian Drone Strike SHATTERS Russian Apartment Block, Children Injured In Voronezh BLAST Horror

In a harrowing attack early Thursday morning, a Ukrainian drone crashed into a residential high-rise in Voronezh, southern Russia, injuring at least three children and displacing multiple families. Russian officials confirmed that air defenses intercepted five UAVs, but one struck the 16th floor of a building on Aivazovsky Street, causing a large explosion, property damage, and panic among residents. Two boys, born in 2009 and 2013, were hospitalized with head injuries, while a girl sustained cuts and was treated at the scene. Photos and videos of the aftermath—smoke, shattered windows, crushed vehicles—flooded Russian social media. This is the second drone attack on Voronezh in just three days. Tuesday’s larger strike injured 24 civilians, including four children. Russian authorities label these cross-border UAV raids as "terrorist attacks" by Ukraine, accusing Kyiv of deliberately targeting civilians. Emergency crews continue to provide shelter and aid to affected residents. #VoronezhDroneStrike #UkraineRussiaWar #DroneAttackRussia #ChildrenInjuredVoronezh #UAVStrike #KyivDroneRaids #RussiaNews #UkraineWar2025 #DroneTerror #CivilianCasualties #AivazovskyStrike #VoronezhBlast #RussianApartmentHit #UAVCrashRussia #PutinUkraineWar #EmergencyResponseVoronezh #DroneStrikePhotos #CrossBorderStrike #UkraineDrones #DroneFootageRussia

Putin's Agent Caught Planting Bomb in Ukrainian Apartment — SBU Foils Deadly Terror Plot in Rivne

Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) has intercepted a Russian agent caught red-handed planting a bomb in a civilian apartment in Rivne, Western Ukraine. The suspect, a 27-year-old man from Lviv, was allegedly recruited via Telegram by Russian intelligence with promises of “easy money.” The device was intended to be detonated remotely in a densely populated city center, aiming to inflict maximum civilian casualties and spread fear. The suspect now faces terrorism-related charges, conspiracy, and illegal possession of explosives. Authorities say this plot is part of a wider Russian campaign targeting civilians far from the frontlines, often exploiting vulnerable individuals with criminal or addiction histories. This is yet another stark reminder that Putin’s war is not limited to the battlefield. #Ukraine #Russia #SBU #Rivne #TerrorPlot #RussianAgent #TelegramRecruitment #Putin #UkraineWar #SecurityNews #BreakingNews #CivilianTargeting #HybridWarfare #EasternEurope #WaronCivilians Also Read US Will Send Patriot Missiles To Ukraine: Trump Takes U-Turn Over Arm Deliveries To Kyiv :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-will-send-patriot-missiles-to-ukraine-trump-takes-u-turn-over-arm-deliveries-to-kyiv-011-7800325.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Proposes Allowing Ukraine and Russia to Fight Before Seeking Peace :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-ukraine-russia-fight-for-a-while-011-4173761.html?ref=DMDesc Ukraine Hits Russia's Crimea Bridge Using 1,100 Kilograms Of Explosives :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/ukraine-hits-russias-crimea-bridge-using-1-100-kilograms-of-explosives-4171479.html?ref=DMDesc ~PR.274~HT.408~ED.194~

France BETRAYS Ally Ukraine | Refuses to Join U.S Weapons aid initiative for Kyiv | Zelensky SHOCKED

France has rejected NATO’s new U.S.-led initiative to fund American weapons for Ukraine, dealing a blow to Trump’s arms plan. President Macron insists Europe must reduce dependency and prioritize its own defense industry. French officials cite budget constraints and strategic autonomy as key reasons. The move deepens a rift within NATO, with the Czech Republic and Hungary also opting out.
