Trump’s $45M Army Parade Overshadowed, Protesters Outnumber Attendees | “No Kings” Chants Echo in US

President Trump’s highly anticipated 250th Army anniversary parade in Washington D.C. was meant to be a patriotic spectacle—but it fell flat. Despite tanks, military flyovers, and millions spent, the streets were shockingly under-attended. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of anti-Trump protesters flooded cities across the U.S., chanting “No Kings” and calling for his ouster. The contrast was jarring: as Trump delivered a brief 8-minute speech calling the U.S. “the hottest country,” political violence rocked Minnesota and national tensions surged.

Ukrainian Soldiers Raise Flags in “Captured” Villages —Russia’s Fake Victory Exposed in Donetsk Push

On July 17, Ukrainian troops raised national flags in the eastern villages of Yalta and Voskresenka, located near the Donetsk-Dnipropetrovsk border—territories Russia had already claimed to have captured. Fighters from the 31st Separate Mechanized Brigade and the 505th Separate Marine Battalion quietly entered these so-called “occupied” areas and planted the Ukrainian flag, directly challenging Moscow’s narrative of battlefield success. Footage released by Ukraine’s 20th Corps shows the flag-raising moments and FPV drone strikes targeting Russian positions. While Russian propaganda reports daily advances, Ukrainian forces are proving that the front lines remain fluid, contested, and fiercely defended. #UkraineWar #Donetsk #UkraineVsRussia #RussianPropaganda #Yalta #Voskresenka #UkrainianArmy #EasternUkraine #WarUpdate #FPVDrones #UkrainianFlags #UkraineNews #20thCorps #MilitaryTruth #BreakingNews #StandWithUkraine #RussiaUkraineWar ~HT.410~PR.274~ED.420~GR.124~

VIDEO: Russia’s FAB-1500 Bomb OBLITERATES Ukrainian Troop Base; Missile Strike Hits UAV Command Post

In a dramatic escalation, Russia’s Aerospace Forces have struck two key Ukrainian military sites in coordinated aerial attacks. A devastating FAB-1500 high-explosive bomb targeted a temporary deployment area of Ukraine’s elite 25th Separate Airborne Brigade near Rodinskoye in the Donetsk People's Republic, reportedly causing massive destruction. Simultaneously, a light air-to-surface guided missile precisely hit the UAV command post of the 39th Separate Coastal Defence Brigade near Olgovka in the Kherson region. These attacks, seen as a tactical move by Russia to weaken Ukrainian battlefield coordination, come amid intensifying clashes in the east and south. The dual strike raises serious concerns about Ukraine’s ability to secure critical infrastructure and battlefield intelligence hubs. With the use of heavy aerial ordnance and advanced missile targeting, Russia is seemingly ramping up precision strikes to paralyze Ukraine's operational depth. No official casualty figures have been released yet, but the scale of the attacks indicates a significant blow to Ukrainian forces. #RussiaUkraineWar #FAB1500 #UkraineConflict #RussianAerospaceForces #KhersonStrike #RodinskoyeAttack #UAVCommandHit #DonetskWar #UkraineBrigade #WarOnUkraine #RussianAirStrike #MilitaryConflict #MissileStrike #DroneCommandCenter #UkraineUnderFire #EasternFrontline #UkraineWarUpdate #RussiaStrikesBack #UkrainianDefense #TacticalStrike ~HT.410~ED.420~GR.125~

Germany CRUSHES Zelensky's Taurus Dream| Merz to Arm Ukraine With This Long-Range Strike System

Germany has announced it will soon supply Ukraine with new long-range missile systems, but not the Taurus cruise missiles that Kyiv has long sought. Despite previous speculation, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius confirmed that Taurus missiles—capable of striking targets up to 500 km away—will not be sent. Instead, Germany is providing Patriot air defense systems purchased from the U.S. Chancellor Friedrich Merz emphasized that diplomatic avenues with Russia are "exhausted" and vowed to counter what he called a “criminal regime.” #GermanyMissiles #UkraineMissiles #LongRangeMissiles #TaurusMissile #UkraineVsRussia #MissileStrike #WesternArmsUkraine #GermanySupportsUkraine #UkraineFiresBack #TaurusForUkraine #MissileAid #UkraineDefense #RussiaUkraineWar #USGermanyMissiles #MissileCrisis ~HT.410~PR.152~ED.346~GR.125~

Trump Warns of VERY STEEP TARIFFS & Secondary Sanctions if Putin doesn’t end war in Ukraine 50 days

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Russian President Vladimir Putin, setting a 50-day deadline to end the war in Ukraine or face sweeping consequences. Trump threatened "very steep tariffs" and harsh secondary sanctions on countries buying Russian oil. The proposed sanctions aim to criple Russia’s economy and isolate it globally. Trump’s ultimatum, delivered with unmistakable clarity, signals a possible escalation in economic warfare if Moscow refuses to agree to a ceasefire within the time limit. #TrumpVsPutin #UkraineWar #50DayDeadline #TrumpWarning #RussiaSanctions #TariffsOnRussia #SecondarySanctions #GlobalPressure #UkraineCrisis #TrumpSpeech #SanctionThreat #CeasefireDeadline #Geopolitics #RussiaIsolation #PutinUltimatum #OilSanctions #BreakingNews #USRussiaTensions #EconomicWarfare #TrumpReturns #UkraineUpdate #TariffThreat #TrumpForeignPolicy #Zelensky 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 Imposes 35% Tariff On Canadian Goods; Threatens More In Case of Retaliation :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-imposes-35-tarifss-on-canadian-goods-threatens-more-in-case-of-retaliation-7797777.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Slaps 50% Tariff On Brazil Over 'Witch Hunt' Trial Against Bolsonaro :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-slaps-50-tariff-on-brazil-over-witch-hunt-trial-against-bolsonaro-011-7796631.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.194~

‘Pam Bondi Should RESIGN!’ AG Pam Bondi Under FIRE Over Epstein Files Fallout As MAGA Base Erupts [Video]

‘Pam Bondi Should RESIGN!’ AG Pam Bondi Under FIRE Over Epstein Files Fallout As MAGA Base Erupts

Pam Bondi is facing intense backlash from MAGA loyalists following the DOJ and FBI’s conclusion that there is no “Epstein client list.” The admission contradicts Bondi’s claim that such a list existed and was “on her desk,” a statement she made on Fox News in February. MAGA influencers like Laura Loomer, Liz Wheeler, and Megyn Kelly have publicly criticized Bondi, accusing her of either ignorance or laziness. Sources say FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino is considering resigning after a heated dispute with Bondi, while FBI Chief Kash Patel may follow suit. Internal friction has escalated into a full-blown crisis, with calls for Bondi’s resignation intensifying across conservative media. This debacle comes amid renewed scrutiny over Epstein documents and rising frustration that key files remain unreleased. The fallout could result in a major shakeup within the DOJ and Trump-aligned circles, with Bondi at the center of the storm. #PamBondi #EpsteinFiles #MAGA #Trump2025 #DanBongino #KashPatel #DOJ #FBI #JeffreyEpstein #FoxNews #ResignationDemand #MegynKelly #LizWheeler #LauraLoomer #Defamation #EpsteinList #Scandal #ConservativeMedia #PoliticalCrisis #WhiteHouse ~ED.346~HT.408~

Trump Explodes at Reporter Over Epstein Question | MAGA Suspects Epstein ‘Client List’ Cover-Up? [Video]

Trump Explodes at Reporter Over Epstein Question | MAGA Suspects Epstein ‘Client List’ Cover-Up?

President Donald Trump lashed out at reporters during a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, dismissing questions about the controversial Jeffrey Epstein case as a "desecration." This explosive reaction came just one day after the Justice Department, led by Trump's own Attorney General Pam Bondi, released a memo stating there was no evidence of an Epstein "client list" or that the disgraced financier was Murdered. Trump attempted to pivot the conversation to the tragic flooding in Texas, questioning why the media was still focused on "this creep" Epstein during a time of national crisis. The situation has ignited a fierce backlash within the MAGA movement. For years, Trump's most fervent supporters and allies have propagated theories about a secret "client list" that could incriminate powerful figures. Attorney General Pam Bondi, once a champion of these theories who claimed in a February Fox News interview that the list was "on my desk to review," is now facing intense criticism. Her department's memo directly contradicts the narrative she previously appeared to support. #Trump #Epstein #DOJ #PamBondi #MAGA #ClientList #JeffreyEpstein #WhiteHouse #PoliticalBacklash #ConspiracyTheories #FoxNews #AGMemo #TrumpRant #TexasFlooding #MediaStorm #EpsteinControversy #MAGAReacts #TruthMovement #JusticeDepartment #CabinetMeeting #TrumpVsMedia #DeepStateClaims #EpsteinMemos #NoClientList #NewsBreak #AGBondi #FactVsFiction #DOJReport #EpsteinCase #PoliticalFirestorm Also Read US President Donald Trump Announces 25% Tariffs On Japan, South Korea :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-donald-trump-announces-25-tariffs-on-japan-south-korea-7794333.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Calls Musk’s America Party Plan ‘Ridiculous’ And ‘Unworkable’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-calls-musk-s-america-party-plan-ridiculous-and-unworkable-7793443.html?ref=DMDesc America Will Be Richer, Safer, and Prouder: Trump As Big, Beautiful Bill Passes Congress :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-s-big-beautiful-bill-passes-congress-in-big-win-for-us-president-011-7790919.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.124~

Trump's New Threat in New York? Mamdani Set to Win Mayor Race but with Fear of Federal Fund Cut [Video]

Trump's New Threat in New York? Mamdani Set to Win Mayor Race but with Fear of Federal Fund Cut

U.S. President Donald Trump has warned that New York City could lose over $100 million in federal funding if Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani becomes mayor. In a fiery Fox News interview, Trump labeled Mamdani a “pure communist” and said his election would be “inconceivable.” Mamdani, a rising progressive voice, has hit back, accusing Trump of using xenophobic and racially charged attacks to derail serious policy debate. The mayoral race is heating up as Mamdani promises to tax the wealthy and shift the burden off working-class New Yorkers. Meanwhile, former Governor Andrew Cuomo may re-enter the race as an independent, turning this into a high-stakes national battle. Is Trump using funding threats as political blackmail—or is Mamdani’s rise shaking the conservative establishment? #ZohranMamdani #DonaldTrump #NYCMayorRace #TrumpVsMamdani #NYCElections #FederalFunding #ProgressivePolitics #CommunistAccusation #AndrewCuomo #PoliticalThreats #GracieMansion #TaxTheRich #TrumpNews #USPolitics ~PR.274~HT.408~GR.125~

Iran vs Israel: Khamenei’s Regime Hanging by a Thread? West Backs Exiled Prince to Topple Iran Rule

Iran’s exiled crown prince Reza Pahlavi told Fox News that the Iranian people are ready to overthrow the regime following intensified strikes that he claims have left the leadership “ten times weaker” than before. With speculation growing over a potential regime change once the current conflict ends, Pahlavi said the Iranian people will be the “boots on the ground” to reclaim their nation. As tensions rise, global attention turns to whether Iran's decades-old theocracy is nearing its final chapter. #RezaPahlavi #Iran #IranRegime #IranUprising #MiddleEast #RegimeChange #MiddleEastCrisis #RegimeChange#HypersonicStrike #TehranRetaliates #IDF #IronDome #IranMissiles #HaifaExplosion #UNCharterArticle51 #IRGC #AyatollahKhamenei #WorldWar3 ~GR.124~HT.408~

‘You Will NOT Succeed…’ U.S Press Secretary’s BLASTS ‘Illegal Alliens’ | LA Riots | Anti-ICE Protest

During a fiery White House press briefing, Fox News correspondent Alexandria Hoff pressed Trump Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt with a provocative question: “Does the president see himself as a king?” Hoff was referencing the upcoming “No Kings Day” protest planned for Trump’s birthday military parade, aimed at criticizing ICE raids and authoritarian optics. Leavitt, unfazed, dismissed the premise as “absurd” and reaffirmed Trump’s respect for the Constitution. She also slammed Democrats for politicizing American symbols and defended the parade as a “celebration of freedom, not royalty.” #TrumpPressBriefing #KarolineLeavitt #NoKingsDay #FoxNews #AlexandriaHoff #TrumpMilitaryParade #WhiteHouseDrama #ICEProtests #AmericanFlag #KingTrump #PoliticalSatire #FirstAmendment #MediaFireworks #WashingtonProtests #ReporterVsPressSec #FreePress #ConstitutionalDebate #TrumpBirthdayEvent #RightToProtest #USPolitics #oneindianews #oneindiaenglish #breakingnews #worldnews #englishnewslive #englishnews #latestnews #news ~HT.410~ED.194~
