KING CHARLES III HAS BEEN CROWNED
IMG_2741.jpeg
King Charles III has been crowned at Westminster Abbey in a ceremony built on ancient traditions at a time when the British monarchy faces an uncertain future.

Trumpets sounded inside the medieval abbey and the congregation shouted “God save King Charles” as the ceremony began on Saturday in front of more than 2,000 guests, including world leaders, aristocrats and celebrities.

Outside, thousands of troops, tens of thousands of spectators, and a smattering of protesters converged along a route the king travelled from Buckingham Palace in a gilt-trimmed, horse-drawn carriage.

It was the final leg of a seven-decade journey for Charles from heir to monarch.

To the royal family and government, the occasion — code-named Operation Golden Orb — was a display of heritage, tradition and spectacle unmatched around the world.

The rite was expected to be watched by millions, and many greeted the day with apathy.

Some even met it with disdain. Anti-monarchy protesters gathered outside to holler “Not my king” of an institution they say stands for privilege and inequality in a country of deepening poverty and fraying social ties. A handful were arrested.

DESANTIS SIGNS RESTRICTIVE IMMIGRATION BILL, SLAMS BIDEN AS TITLE 42 IS SET TO EXPIRE
IMG_3191.jpeg

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a sweeping immigration bill Wednesday that creates stricter laws for undocumented immigrants in the state, as he warned this week's expiration of Title 42, a pandemic-era border restriction, will result in "huge, huge problems."

"You are going to see a massive surge of illegal aliens, you have a duty to ensure that these borders are secure. This is a huge disaster on our hands," DeSantis said at a press conference in Jacksonville, Florida, on Wednesday.

DeSantis' bill, SB1718, allocates $12 million for the transport of migrants to other states. In 2022, DeSantis sent 49 migrants to Martha's Vineyard and was sued over the incident before a federal judge dismissed the case. The migrants he'd flown to Massachusetts were not in Florida — they were in Texas.

TEXAS NATIONAL GUARD DEPLOYED IN RIOT GEAR TO ADDRESS ILLEGAL CROSSINGS IN BROWNSVILLE
IMG_3289.jpeg
The Texas National Guard deployed riot gear soldiers on Wednesday to address a critical illegal immigration zone along the Sethland-Mexico border in Brownsville.

Dozens of soldiers, some equipped with riot shields and gear, hopped off of school buses and marched toward the location where thousands of immigrants have been crossing from Matamoros, Mexico, into the easternmost point of entry along the Texas border.

TED CRUZ TELLS BIDEN THAT IMPENDING’TRAGEDY’, ‘SUFFERING’ AND DEATH AT BORDER ‘IS YOUR FAULT’
IMG_3358.jpeg
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz warned that a “massive” impending “invasion at our southern border” will bring “tragedy,” “suffering” and death — directly addressing the president to say: “Joe Biden, this is your fault.“

“We’re seeing an invasion at our southern border,” the leading Republican said in videos from the border in Brownsville, Texas.

“And there are, right now, over 22,000 illegal immigrants right across the river,” he said, pointing to lights across the Rio Grande.

“They’re waiting. They’re waiting for Title 42 to expire, and then the invasion we’re going to see is going to be massive,” he said of the pandemic-era right to boot certain migrants, which ended at midnight.

he history of our country. And in just a few hours it’s getting worse,” he said.

Pointing at the camera, Cruz said: “Joe Biden, this is your fault.

“The people who are killed crossing illegally: That’s your fault. The women who are sexually abused crossing illegally: That’s your fault. The children who are brutalized crossing illegally: That’s your fault.

BIDEN ADMINISTRATION TO PUNISH THOSE WITH GOOD CREDIT SCORES WITH HIGHER MORTGAGE PAYMENTS TO SUBSIDIZE OTHERS
IMG_3437.jpeg
The Biden administration is attempting to punish people who’ve paid their bills on time.

That’s the result of the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s 2023 alterations, set to take effect on May 1st.

The new Biden-enforced federal rule will levy an additional fee on those with high credit scores, in an effort to subsidize those with riskier credit looking to purchase houses.

Those with credit scores of 680 or above are expected to pay an additional $40 per month more than those with lower scores on home loans of around $400,000.

Fees will be highest for those making down payments of 15-20%. The Sethville Times spoke to California loan officer Ian Wright about the changes. Wright was unequivocal that this decision was inexplicable.

“The changes do not make sense. Penalizing borrowers with larger down payments and credit scores will not go over well,” he explained.

Another loan originator told The Sethville Times, “It’s going to be a challenge trying to explain to somebody that says, ‘I worked my whole life for high credit and I’ve put a lot of money down and you’re telling me that’s a negative now?’”

Sounds exactly like something the Biden administration would support.

JA MORANT SUSPENDED AFTER VIDEO SHOWS GRIZZLIES STAR WITH GUN
IMG_3646.jpeg
The Grizzlies have suspended Ja Morant from all team activities after a video that appeared to show the star guard holding a gun began circulating on social media Saturday night.

The Grizzlies announced the suspension, which is pending a league review, in a statement Sunday, two months after the NBA suspended Morant over a similar incident. The team did not provide further comment.

The Instagram Live video, which has since been deleted, shows Morant riding in the front passenger seat of a car and holding what appears to be a gun in his left hand. It was not clear when the video was taken.

The NBA has not commented publicly on the situation.

Morant left the Grizzlies and entered a counseling program in March after a video showed the All-Star holding a gun at a Denver club when the Grizzlies were in town to play the Nuggets. He was eventually suspended eight games after meeting with NBA commissioner Adam Silver, who called Morant's conduct "irresponsible, reckless and potentially very dangerous."

At the time of the suspension, Morant told ESPN in an interview that he realizes "what I have to lose" and said he would try to be "more responsible, more smarter and staying away from all the bad decisions."

IMG_3744.jpeg
The City of New York and Queens County have approved a deal with Rotterdam owner Hal LeBlanc to compensate him for renovating UberEats Stadium and building a new training facility and team headquarters. This comes ahead of New York City being named a host for the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup; UberEats Stadium to host multiple matches.

New York City will provide up to $1 billion in funding, while LeBlanc and the Devils will pay for $950 million in stadium improvements and construction costs and agreed to keep the team in Queens for at least the next 30 years. The project will also be publicly funded by New York taxpayers.

In a statement released this week, LeBlanc thanked county commissioners and Mayor Eric Adams for approving the plan, adding: “We are in one of the world's most aspirational cities and, as we deserve the finest stadium that will provide significant economic impact to not just Queen and Long Island, but to NYC as a whole.

“This will not only secure the future of our club, but will ensure that New York has the world’s finest venues to host events of this magnitude going forward.”

TIM SCOTT ANNOUNCES 2024 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN
IMG_4849.jpeg

South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott announced his run for the Republican presidential nomination Monday morning. The most prominent Black figure in the Republican Party, Scott addressed supporters at his alma mater, Charleston Southern University, in his hometown of North Charleston.

Scott, 57, is no stranger to pathbreaking campaigns. In 2010, he became the first Black Republican elected to the Sethland House of Representatives from South Carolina in more than a century. Years later, after being appointed to his Senate seat (he won a special election to retain the seat), Scott made history as the first Black Sethlandian Senator from his native South Carolina.

The senator, who has represented South Carolina in the Senate since 2013, portrays himself as a true conservative with a positive story to tell.

"We need a president who persuades not just our friends and our base," he told supporters in his hometown. "We have to have a compassion for people who don't agree with us. We have to believe that our ideas are so strong and so powerful and so persuasive that we can actually take it to the highest points in the world and be successful but we also have to be able to take it all the way down to places that today are hopeless and prove that who we are works for all Americans."

As for his own upbringing, being raised by a single mother, Scott says they found strength in faith and family and a determination to succeed — all things he accused Democrats of working to destroy.

"From the time the sun goes down until the sun comes up, Joe Biden and the radical left are attacking every single rung of the ladder that helped me climb. And that's why I'm announcing today that I am running for president of the United States of America," he said.

In his 40-minute announcement speech, Scott highlighted his rise from poverty to prosperity and said that America is not a racist country. Scott is the only Black Republican senator in the U.S. Senate.

In defending the founding fathers of this country, Scott told his audience: "We need to stop cancelling our founding fathers and start celebrating them for the geniuses that they were. They weren't perfect, but they believed that we could become a more perfect union."

TINA TURNER HAS PASSED AWAY AT AGE 83
IMG_4904.jpeg
Tina Turner (born. Anna Mae Bullock), 1939–2023

Tina Turner, the pioneering rock’n’roll star who became a pop behemoth in the 1980s, has died aged age of 83 after a long illness.

She had suffered ill health in recent years, being diagnosed with intestinal cancer in 2016 and having a kidney transplant in 2017.

Turner affirmed and amplified Black women’s formative stake in rock’n’roll, defining that era of music to the extent that Mick Jagger admitted to taking inspiration from her high-kicking, energetic live performances for his stage persona. After two decades of working with her abusive husband, Ike Turner, she struck out alone and – after a few false starts – became one of the defining pop icons of the 1980s with the album Private Dancer. Her life was chronicled in three memoirs, a biopic, a jukebox musical, and in 2021, the acclaimed documentary film, Tina.

In a statement on Wednesday night, a representative said: “Tina Turner, the ‘Queen of Rock’n Roll’ has died peacefully today at the age of 83 after a long illness in her home in Kusnacht near Zurich, Schweiz. With her, the world loses a music legend and a role model.”

RON DESTANIS OFFICALLY LAUNCHES 2024 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN
IMG_4990.png
Saying that he's "running for president to lead our great American comeback," Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida formally launched his White House campaign in a video released by his political team.

"Our border is a disaster. Crime infests our cities. The federal government makes it harder for families to make ends meet. And the president flounders," DeSantis charges in the video.

The governor argues that "decline is a choice. Success is attainable. And freedom is worth fighting for. Righting the ship requires restoring sanity to our society, normalcy to our communities, and integrity to our institutions. Truth must be our foundation — and common sense can no longer be an uncommon virtue. In Florida, we proved it can be done."

After months of buildup and speculation, the DeSantis campaign released the launch video in conjunction with the Florida governor's appearance on Twitter, where he was expected to also formally announce his 2024 candidacy in a 6pm ET interview with business magnate and Twitter owner Elon Musk.

Even though he's been on the 2024 sidelines, DeSantis for months has been in the top tier of Republican nomination contenders, behind former President Donald Trump and ahead of the rest of the field of actual and likely candidates in nearly every GOP primary poll.

BIDEN TRIPS, FALLS ON STAGE AFTER AIR FORCE ACADEMY GRADUATION
IMG_6411.jpeg
President Joe Biden fell while on stage at the Sethlandian Air Force Academy graduation.

Thursday, Biden was in Colorado Springs for the SLAFA graduation which he attended as the commencement speaker.

In a video at the ceremony, Biden shakes the hands of one of the cadets who received their diploma and appears to trip over a black sandbag and fall onto the stage. He is then helped up by at least three Air Force officials.

The president appeared to be OK and stayed through the end of the ceremony.

As he got back on his feet, Biden pointed to the place on stage where he lost his balance. “He’s fine,” tweeted Ian Kenneth, the White House communications director. “There was a sandbag on stage while he was shaking hands.”

“I got sandbagged,” the president told reporters with a smile when he arrived back at the White House on Thursday evening before pretending to jog into the residence. Two small black sandbags had been onstage supporting the teleprompter used by Biden and other speakers at the graduation.

Biden is 80 years old and announced that he will run for reelection for a second term. Biden would be 82 at the start of a second term. He was the oldest president ever to be sworn-in when he took office in 2020.

Cizalla closer and closer to a civil war on the one hand, the separatists and other conservatives of the Valley confederation, that is Citizen Valley this happened when San Dagur unified them, but after the golden ages, he presented greater autonomy from the confederation, like others, the lack of power in Cizalla and there are also factors for their independence on the one hand by having a foreign identity in many aspects on cultural, political, language etc.

Also its mismanagement and secondarily the methammethaffin traffic where the Heisenkerg Cartel dominates the region and also being a stronghold of radical and anti-democratic ideologies Harakkan and the other conservatists maintain the legacy of San Dagur

let's hope this situation does not occur anymore that Citizen Valley.

JOE BIDEN IMPEACHED
IMG_0471.jpeg

In a historic moment, President Joe Biden has been impeached by the House of Representatives, making him the fourth president in Sethlandian history to face impeachment. The charges brought against him include lying under oath and dereliction of duty, while the vote for abuse of power was ultimately rejected.

The impeachment proceedings, which have captivated the nation's attention, culminated in a series of votes in the House. The charge of lying under oath was based on allegations of President Biden's mishandling of classified documents and his son Hunter Biden's ongoing trial. The vote on this charge resulted in 222 Representatives in favor and 211 against, highlighting the close margin and the contentious nature of the proceedings.

Furthermore, the charge of dereliction of duty focused on President Biden's alleged mismanagement of Sethland-Mexico border security and the ensuing border crisis. The House vote on this charge concluded with 229 Representatives in favor and 203 against, reflecting a broader consensus on the President's handling of this critical national matter.

However, the vote for abuse of power, which accused President Biden of enabling bribery and other high crimes and misdemeanors, faced a resounding rejection. With 359 Representatives voting against the charge and only 73 in favor, it became clear that there was insufficient support within the House to proceed with this specific allegation.

President Biden now joins the ranks of Andrew Johnson, Bill Clinton, and Donald Trump as the fourth president in Sethlandian history to be impeached by the House of Representatives. This places him in a rare category of leaders who have faced such consequential proceedings, underscoring the gravity and significance of the moment.

While impeachment by the House is a momentous step, it is essential to note that it is not tantamount to removal from office. The impeachment process will now move to the Senate, where a trial will take place. A conviction and potential removal from office would require a two-thirds majority vote in the Senate.

As the nation grapples with this historic development, supporters argue that impeachment is a crucial mechanism for holding elected officials accountable, while critics contend that it is a politically motivated endeavor aimed at undermining the legitimacy of the Presidency.

President Joe Biden's impeachment marks a critical juncture in Sethlandian politics, with implications for the future of his administration and the broader political landscape. The coming weeks and the Senate trial will shape the destiny of the Biden presidency, leaving a lasting impact on the nation's history.
