President Trump on Friday blasted the European Union for fining American tech companies.

Trump said the European Union is robbing the American taxpayer.

The European Union fined Apple $15 billion, Meta $3 billion and Amazon $2.5 billion.

President Trump said he launched a 301 investigation after the European Union fined Google another $1 billion.

Full statement from President Trump:

The European Union is at it again and, as usual, taking direct aim at GREAT American Companies!

After having fined Apple, for no reason at all, 15 Billion Dollars, Meta, 3 Billion Dollars, Amazon 2.5 Billion Dollars, and many others, we have just been informed that Google, a truly advanced and amazing group, has been fined yet another 1 Billion Dollars, without explanation.

This brings the Google total to over 18 Billion Dollars! This illegal and highly discriminatory practice started at these high levels during the first year of the Sleepy Joe Biden Administration, but it’s not going to continue during the Trump Administration.

The United States of America is not a “PIGGYBANK” for Europe, nor will we allow it to be! Please let this TRUTH serve to represent that we will immediately initiate a 301 Investigation into the practice of “ROBBING” American Companies and, in turn, the American Taxpayer.

The European Union will pay a very big price for this illegal and highly unethical conduct, which I have consistently warned them about.

The penalties will be entirely reversed and, we anticipate, a substantial TARIFF to be placed on them at the earliest possible moment. Stay tuned! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Punches flew back and forth before guards intervened.

It’s been a minute since we reported on convicted rap mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, serving his prison term in New Jersey’s Fort Dix FCI.

But today, reports arose that Diddy ‘has been involved in a prison fight’, and that the incident got him sent to solitary confinement.

56-year-old Diddy went toe-to-toe with another inmate earlier this week, TMZ first reported.

Daily Mail reported:

“They claimed that Diddy – whose estimated release date has been moved up in recent months – lashed out at the other inmate after he insulted the rap mogul.”

FCI Fort Dix declined to share information about the alleged incident.

“Sources claimed that Diddy and the other inmate began pushing each other at first, before punches started flying between the two. Diddy was said to have ‘held his own’ in the fight, though prison guards quickly separated the two men. Guards reportedly sent Diddy to solitary confinement in response to the brawl.”

The altercation could delay his release date, set to February 8, 2028.

“The latest conflict for Diddy comes after a disturbing clip resurfaced that showed him inviting the late child star Daveigh Chase, then 12, to an ‘afterparty.’ The clip went viral in the wake of the Donny Darko actress’s death from AIDS last month.”

A resurfaced 2003 clip shows Diddy speaking with 12-year-old actress Daveigh Chase and inviting her to an afterparty.

Over 20 years later, the clip is blowing up again as people revisit old Hollywood moments with new eyes.

Creepy doesn’t even begin to cover it.

Alaska has sent 3,048 letters to voters asking them to verify their citizenship status ahead of the August 18 primaries.

The more than 3,000 voters who received the letters were moved to inactive status. They will be able vote with provisional ballots if they do not respond to the letter before the primary election.

ABC News reported:

The state has sent more than 3,000 letters to Alaska voters asking them to verify their citizenship ahead of the Aug. 18 primary, a number a top state elections official said is unusually high.

The letters have raised concerns among some state lawmakers, including one who said some constituents who received them are U.S. citizens.

Alaska Division of Elections Director Carol Beecher told state lawmakers during a hearing this week that it appears “a lot of old data was picked up somehow” when the division conducted voter roll maintenance that compares its list with information held by the Division of Motor Vehicles. The process usually yields about 200 names for further review, she said.

Beecher estimated during Wednesday’s hearing that the number of letters sent was around 3,500, but a Division of Elections spokesperson, Steve Kirch, on Thursday said the total was 3,048.

Alaska’s decision to move more than 3,000 voters to inactive status comes after New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill

New Jersey officials previously acknowledged that a massive failure in the state’s Motor Vehicle Commission system resulted in roughly 6,600 people who identified themselves as noncitizens being placed on voter rolls between June 2023 and June 2024.

Democrat Governor Mikie Sherrill initially blamed a “serious software error” and pointed the finger at IDEMIA, the contractor responsible for transmitting voter-registration information from the Motor Vehicle Commission.

However, as The Gateway Pundit previously reported, IDEMIA fired back and said New Jersey’s own Division of Elections was ultimately responsible for reviewing the applications and determining voter eligibility.

“Information submitted by IDEMIA must still be validated and adjudicated by the Division of Elections,” the company said.

The Department of Justice is currently investigating New Jersey for adding non-citizens to its voter rolls.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt blasted Sherrill over the scandal, saying the governor’s sudden admission was “not a coincidence” and warning that the actual number of noncitizens on the voter rolls may be substantially higher.

Legally-grown, illegally smuggled.

The Canadians are crushing – on the pot industry, that is.

After former Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau legalized Cannabis in Canada, the market quickly became saturated, and the surplus ‘high-strength’ weed is being supplied to smugglers and shipped into Europe’s major ports – notably Antwerp, in Belgium.

So, the ‘market’ logic appears to be: legalized Canadian weed equals massive profits for European criminal gangs.

The Telegraph reported:

“Legally grown cannabis is flooding into Europe from Canada, enriching criminal gangs and helping turn Belgium into a ‘narco state’.

[…] Record quantities of cannabis are flooding into the port of Antwerp in Belgium, with customs seizing 32 tons of cannabis in the last year alone – a 500 per cent increase from 2024.

The gangs smuggle the cannabis into Europe’s ports in 6m-long shipping containers sent from the docks of Vancouver, Montreal, Halifax and St John.”

The cannabis market is so saturated in Canada that smuggling it into Europe yields five times more returns.

Gangs pay corrupt dock workers to divert shipping containers so as not to have them searched.

“The smuggling epidemic is compounding fears within Belgium’s own judiciary that the country is turning into a narco state, which refers to a nation whose economy relies on the drug trade and government corruption to survive. In Antwerp, organized criminal gangs armed with assault rifles and hand grenades blackmail and intimidate public officials to keep cocaine and cannabis shipments out of the hands of the police.”

WRD. News reported in December 2025:

“An Antwerp judge issued a stark warning last month that Belgium drug trafficking has reached crisis levels, with organized crime undermining the nation’s institutions and threatening the rule of law. The alarming assessment, delivered in an anonymous letter to Belgium’s Justice Committee in October 2025, paints a picture of a country where mafia-like structures operate as a parallel power.

The judge spent four months in a safe house after receiving threats from criminal networks, highlighting the personal risks facing those who confront Belgium drug trafficking operations. Her letter describes a situation where corruption has infiltrated port authorities, customs services, police forces, and even the judiciary itself.

At the heart of Belgium’s drug trafficking crisis lies the Port of Antwerp, Europe’s second-largest maritime hub.”

Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) has made it clear he does not think much of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) as deeply anti-American, noting that many of them have recent social media writings that show them to be extremists.

Fetterman also said that DSA members are not even Democrats and should not be allowed to run as members of his party.

The Jerusalem Post reports that the IDF and Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) announced on Tuesday that three Hamas terrorists were killed, including one terrorist involved in the October 7th attacks in Israel.

Per Jerusalem Post:

Abdallah Jahja was a terrorist in the naval force of Hamas’s military wing and, in addition to his activity on October 7, contributed to the planning of several terror attacks targeting both Israeli civilians and IDF troops, according to the military.

He was killed alongside Mohammed Al-Hawari, a commander in Hamas’s Zeitoun Battalion, and Sabhi Saqallah, an intelligence operative in the same battalion.

This follows news that over the weekend, two Hamas terrorists who abducted and held Israelis hostage during the October 7 massacre were also killed.

One of those terrorists was Adham Ibrahim Sha’aban Nasman, Hamas’s Gaza City Brigade operations head in Gaza City, who held several former hostages captive, including Romi Gonen.

In a separate strike, Asma Kamal Shehadeh Abu Tim, a cell commander in Hamas’ military wing, was also killed.

On October 7, Abu Tim invaded Kibbutz Nir Oz and aided in the abduction of several people.
