They just left him there.

Former President Joe Biden was awkwardly left lingering by himself on stage at the grand opening of the Barack Obama Presidential Center in Chicago, tepidly waving at the crowd after the ceremony ended.

A gleeful Obama had waltzed off the stage to the music, followed by a smiling former first lady Jill Biden, while the 46th president stood there seemingly dazed all by himself.

For reasons that aren’t clear, the 83-year-old went over to the podium and took off his sunglasses before staring into the crowd with a puzzled look on his face.

“Where’s my granddaughter?” he shouted.

The former president then seemingly started to make his way off-stage before footage of the event cut off.

Biden’s rare public outing was reminiscent of parts of his presidency, when he was seen wandering after events with a confused look on his face.

WASHINGTON — President Trump unveiled the new Air Force One Friday — thanking Qatar for donating “the world’s most luxurious plane,” which he said would allow the United States to be “represented properly” as he travels the globe.

“It was built at a level that will probably never be seen again,” Trump told onlookers in a new hangar built at Joint Base Andrews for the larger jet, which Trump said would end the “ridiculous” situation of other world leaders having more imposing planes.

“This plane was transformed into a flying White House at a level of luxury that nobody’s ever seen before,” the president bragged as he stood in front of the jet.
Trump noted the prior pair of Boeing 747s that served as long-haul Air Force Ones — in service since the George H.W. Bush administration — had traveled to 96 countries on 223 foreign trips.

A smaller version of Air Force One is commonly used for transit to small regional airports, such as when Trump visits his New Jersey golf course, and remains in service.

The new jumbo jet was donated by Qatar last year as the gas and oil-rich emirate courted Trump with promises of investments and diplomatic support — also assisting with Gaza peace talks, and more recently mediation with Iran after facing regional diplomatic isolation during Trump’s first term.

>PARIS, June 17 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that it would be unfair for Iran not to have ballistic missiles if other countries have them.
>"I'm saying that if other countries have them, it's a little bit unfair for them not to have some," Trump told reporters in Paris.


>"If Saudi Arabia and Qatar, and they all have some, I would say in relative proportion, I think it's okay."
Trump also said the United States would leave its military in the Gulf "for a while" after Washington struck a deal with Tehran to end its nearly four-month conflict in the region.

British MP Rupert Lowe has released a major independent report on grooming gangs in the UK. The report has been titled called “The Rape Gang Inquiry”, came out on June 16. It is about 218 pages long and is based on survivor stories, court records, and past investigations.

Lowe, who leads Restore Britain (formerly with Reform UK), chaired the inquiry. It was funded by public donations through crowdfunding. The report looks at group-based child sexual exploitation, often called grooming gangs.

According to the report, organised child rape gangs operated across at least 149 local authority districts while police, social services, schools, health services, and politicians deliberately failed to protect vulnerable young White girls, allowing for 250,000 of them to be subjected to repeated rape, gang rape, trafficking, torture, pregnancy, forced conversion and lifelong trauma.

It describes terrible abuse over many years in towns like Rotherham, Rochdale, Telford and many other places. Survivors told shocking stories of rape, trafficking, violence, drugs, and torture. Most of the abusers were men of Pakistani Muslim heritage. The gangs often targeted vulnerable young girls from difficult backgrounds.

>President Trump said Wednesday that Iran could have its own nuclear program.

>“It is a little hard that when you say that somebody wants it, other people have it, other adjoining states have it, and you’re not letting them have it for purposes of electricity and things like that. It’s always a little tough. You have to use a little common sense,” Trump said at the G7 summit in France, alongside Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.

>It seems to be a sharp departure from Trump’s previous claims during the war. After months of insisting that the purpose of the war was to get rid of any nuclear capability, demanding “zero enrichment,” Trump is now saying that the country can use nuclear power for electricity.

>One wonders what Republicans in Congress—let alone the international community—will think of Trump’s latest concession. If a final peace deal between Iran and the U.S. doesn’t have any restrictions on the country’s nuclear program, it will be effectively worse than the 2015 JCPOA agreement with Iran.

>That agreement was drafted not only between the U.S. and Iran, but the other members of the U.N. Security Council, including China, Russia, the U.K., and the European Union. This deal was negotiated without Congress even being aware of the details. Iran will likely be receiving $300 billion in reconstruction funds, and now they might have a nuclear program too. What did the Trump administration accomplish?

https://idahonews.com/news/local/federal-judge-blocks-idahos-transgender-bathroom-law-as-legal-challenge-continues

A federal judge on Tuesday granted a request for a preliminary injunction blocking enforcement of H.B. 752, a new Idaho law that would have threatened transgender people with up to five years in prison for using public restrooms consistent with their gender identity instead of their biological sex at birth.

H.B. 752 had been set to take effect July 1. The court’s order limits enforcement of the law, protecting access to some restrooms while the legal challenge continues.

Signed into law earlier this year by Idaho Gov. Brad Little, H.B. 752 prohibits people in Idaho from using sex-designated public restrooms not matching their sex at birth in public. The law applies to government-owned buildings and private businesses open to the public, including libraries, rest stops, malls, gas stations, restaurants, entertainment venues, hospitals and other businesses. It would make a first offense a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in prison and a second offense a felony punishable by up to five years in prison.

The Idaho Fraternal Order of Police and the Idaho Chiefs of Police Association opposed H.B. 752, saying there is no “clear or reasonable way” to determine a person’s sex at birth during a field contact without “invasive and inappropriate” questioning or searches.

In April 2026, six transgender Idaho residents filed a lawsuit in federal court challenging H.B. 752, arguing it violates constitutional rights to due process, equal protection and privacy. The case was brought by the American Civil Liberties Union, the ACLU of Idaho, Lambda Legal, Munger, Tolles & Olson and the Alturas Law Group in the U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho. This ruling grants their May request for a preliminary injunction.

https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/five-men-arrested-and-charged-plot-attack-and-kill-government-officials-and-others-attending

The Justice Department announced today charges against five men for an alleged plot to carry out an attack to kill government officials and others attending the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Freedom 250 event held at the White House last Sunday.

The FBI launched an investigation into the plot and identified a group of conspirators who procured weapons and made plans to carry out the attack. The FBI made arrests over the weekend in Ohio, Missouri, Nebraska, and California. The investigation remains ongoing.

“The FBI, our law enforcement partners and our U.S. Attorneys did what they do every day to make America Safe through quick response and vigilance in investigating, disrupting, and dismantling this alleged plan before it could be carried out,” said Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. “We will take immediate and aggressive action to identify and prosecute those who incite and plan acts of violence.”

“On June 10, FBI and our law enforcement partners became aware of a potential threat to the UFC America 250 event in Washington, D.C. involving individuals outside of the National Capital Region — and thanks to the rapid action of this FBI, our partners, and the Department of Justice in a multi-state operation, multiple individuals are now in custody and allegedly planned attacks were stopped cold,” said FBI Director Kash Patel. “While the result represented the best of investigative work, it was also nothing out of the ordinary for this law enforcement team — we are built to detect, respond to, and bring to justice those who threaten the lives of American citizens — particularly during large gatherings like the historic UFC 250 fight. That’s exactly what we did here. I want to thank our great agents and partners, this work remains ongoing and we will continue to update the public as permitted.”

>A woman claimed she was approached by two “recruiters” who were scouting young women at Donald Trump’s Manhattan skyscraper to have sex with him—and also tried to lure her to a party at the home of Jeffrey Epstein.

>Buried in the Department of Justice’s massive trove of files on Epstein, an interview conducted by the FBI on June 19, 2020, included allegations that the president had previously used Trump Tower as a hunting ground for young women, RawStory reported Wednesday.

>In the early 1990s, the woman worked at a luxury shoe store near Trump Tower, and would study in the building’s public atrium during her lunch breaks. One day, she met a colleague at the atrium who pointed out two men lurking nearby.

>“[She] described one of the men was dark haired and looked like Antonio Banderas, while the other man was blonde and looked like the surfer type,” the FBI report stated. “Her colleague told her that the men constantly picked up [redacted] women.”

>The woman was then approached by the dark-haired man, who struck up a conversation with her. “He asked if she knew who Donald Trump was and told her he was meeting people that day,” the report stated.

>“[She] told the man that she knew who Trump was. The man asked if she wanted to meet Trump and told her that she did not need to work so hard to go to school,” the report stated. “The man winked and said he could do whatever she liked.”

Trump backs off on stopping Iran's nuclear ambitions

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-iran-2677046383

Yet, on Tuesday, Trump appeared to question whether seizing Iran’s enriched uranium was even worth it at this point in the conflict.

“We’re gonna go get it, but to go get it is a big deal because they say only China and us have the equipment where you can even get it,” Trump said, referring to Iran’s enriched uranium, which he’s frequently referred to as “nuclear dust.”

“The whole mountain is collapsed on top, we have cameras on it… you could make the case ‘why even bother,’ because it’s not really valuable, it’s probably a half a million dollars’ worth. It’s not very valuable stuff. But I think psychologically we want to get it.”

The progressive media organization MeidasTouch called Trump’s remark “damning” given that seizing Iran’s enriched uranium was “his main justification for the war.” The progressive media outlet The Tennessee Holler simply wrote “amazing” in response to Trump’s remark, and MeidasTouch reporter Aaron Parnas argued that Trump had just “given Iran everything it wants.”

Critics say the framework gives Iran huge financial benefits without requiring dismantlement of nuclear infrastructure

President Donald Trump's proposed Iran agreement is drawing sharp criticism from some of his strongest supporters, who argue the deal rewards Tehran before it has agreed to fully dismantle its nuclear program.

The 14-point framework agreement, unveiled on Wednesday, establishes an immediate ceasefire between the United States and Iran, with key provisions including the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, the removal of the U.S. naval blockade, temporary waivers allowing Iranian oil exports, access to frozen Iranian assets and a commitment to negotiate a final agreement within 60 days. The framework also outlines a proposed economic reconstruction package reportedly worth at least $300 billion and includes Iran's renewed pledge not to pursue nuclear weapons.

However, critics note that the agreement does not require the immediate dismantlement of Iran's nuclear infrastructure, the removal of enriched uranium stockpiles, restrictions on Tehran's ballistic missile program or the disbandment of Iranian-backed proxy groups such as Hezbollah.

Despite the administration portraying the agreement as a breakthrough, critics have argued that the concessions offered to Iran far outweigh the commitments secured in return.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/detainees-moved-out-of-alligator-alcatraz-over-hurricane-concerns/

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has moved detainees out of a controversial detention center in the Florida Everglades known as "Alligator Alcatraz," an ICE spokesperson told CBS News, citing safety concerns around hurricane season.

"For the safety of the illegal alien detainees, we transferred them to other facilities," the spokesperson said in a statement.

CBS News Miami reported last month that companies hired by the state of Florida to operate Alligator Alcatraz were notified that the facility was being shut down, with roughly 1,400 remaining detainees expected to be removed.

Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin later told CBS News the agency didn't have any near-term plans to close the facility. But he acknowledged it faces weather-related "vulnerabilities."

"We have plans in case of a natural emergency such as a wildfire or hurricane, to have to be able to bring it down and pull the individuals out," Mullin said.

A German soccer fan has accidentally become America's newest tourism ambassador — one Taco Bell run, a Buc-ee's pilgrimage and a Chili's dinner at a time.

Freddy, who posts on X as @FreddyLA7, has exploded in popularity after documenting his six-week World Cup road trip across the Southern United States with the kind of wide-eyed enthusiasm usually reserved for Disney World.

In just the past day alone, he's picked up thousands of followers — including a few famous athletes — as Yanks collectively adopt him as the internet's "favorite exchange student."

His adventure began before he ever set foot in the US.

"The World Cup trip starts tomorrow," Freddy wrote on June 3 alongside photos of a suitcase stuffed almost entirely with soccer jerseys. "Baggage all packed for 6 weeks in the USA and Canada. Traveling with hand luggage only, and 90% of it is jerseys."

After a 24-hour layover in Dublin — where he squeezed in visits to Temple Bar, Trinity College and other landmarks — he declared he had "made the most" of his stop before heading stateside.

Even before arriving, he noticed World Cup fever.
