According to reports of administration plans to send National Guard soldiers to the Midwestern city, Democratic leaders in the United States are ecstatic that President Donald Trump has the authority to send US troops there.

Trump, a Republican, has stated that he would likely expand the federal forces’ deployment to other cities, including Chicago, to oversee policing in Washington, D.C. He also suggested considering sending troops to Democratic-run Baltimore in Maryland on Sunday.

Hakeem Jeffries, the leader of the Democratic House of Representatives, decried plans to send federal forces to Chicago on Sunday. In Chicago, crime rates, including murders, have decreased recently.

According to Jeffries, “Donald Trump might try to drop federal troops into the city of Chicago has no basis or authority,” he told CNN.

The states are given the authority to policing according to the US Constitution.

The Pentagon has been making plans for a possible troop deployment in Chicago, according to a report released on Saturday by The Washington Post.

The push was quickly rejected by Democratic governor of Illinois, where Chicago is located.

According to a statement from JB Pritzker, “Donald Trump is attempting to manufacture a crisis, politicize Americans who serve in uniform, and continue abusing his power to distract from the pain he is causing working families.”

Trump criticized Maryland’s Democratic Governor Wes Moore for the city’s high crime rates, and criticized the governor there for sending troops there.

The Baltimore police department reported a double-digit decrease in gun violence in July as compared to the previous year. The mayor claims that this year saw the fewest homicides in over 50 years in the city.

Trump stated on his social media platform, Truth Social, on Sunday, “If Wes Moore needs assistance, I will send in the “troops,” which are currently being done in nearby DC, and quickly clean up the Crime.”

Trump has characterized major cities, which are almost entirely run by Democrats, as rife with crime, drugs, and homelessness.

Some rural conservative beliefs toward liberal cities were echoed by that perception.

At Trump’s request, several Republican governors earlier this month sent hundreds of National Guard troops to Washington. Despite official data showing a decrease in crime in the city, the president has claimed that the city is in the grip of a crime wave.

Trump attributed his deployment of troops and hundreds of federal law enforcement personnel to the lack of any supporting evidence in the US capital on Sunday.

Critics of the US president have argued that Washington’s crackdown may serve as a test for the US cities’ continued militarisation.

Trump has far more authority over the District of Columbia, which is not a part of a US state, than he does over Chicago and Baltimore.

A provision in Title 10 of the US Code, a federal law that specifies the duties of the US armed forces, allows the president to deploy National Guard units to repel invasions, halt a rebellion, or put the law into effect, is included.

Governor Gavin Newsom’s objections led to the use of Section 12406, which Trump cited when he sent National Guard units to California earlier this year to protest.

Trump might argue that the military presence is justified by local laws that prohibit city officials from cooperating with federal immigration agents in Chicago.

Organisers said tens of thousands of people have marched through Australia’s major cities and towns to demand that aid be used to save Palestinians who are battling hunger and dying.

The group Palestine Action reported that more than 40 demonstrations took place on Sunday in various Australian states, including Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne, with significant turnouts.

We want more than just talk from our politicians. We have already accomplished this,” according to one of the protest’s organizers in Brisbane’s eastern city, Remah Naji.

“Now, we demand that we take the same actions that we did during the genocide.” We are also required to stop and punish genocide when it occurs because we are signatories of the Genocide Convention.

On Sunday, protests against Israel’s war and hunger campaign were also held in a number of other nations.

Protesters in Australia’s largest cities rallied in cities of all sizes nationwide to demand sanctions against Israel and a stop to arms trade with the nation, which has been accused of carrying out a genocide by leading human rights organizations.

More than 300,000 people are thought to have taken part in the demonstrations, according to organizers.

As rallygoers chanted “free, free Palestine” in Sydney, organiser Josh Lees claimed Australians were out in force to “demand that our government sanction this genocide in Gaza and demand that our government put an end to this.”

Protesters gathered outside the State Library of Victoria in Melbourne and chanted “sanction Israel now.”

Nour Salman, an organizer, argued that tougher sanctions against Israel must be a part of Australia’s plans to recognize Palestinian statehood.

Enough is sufficient, they say. There are no buts or maybes, Salman said.

In Perth, a city in the southwest, thousands of people gathered as well.

According to Friends of Palestine Western Australia organizer Nick Everett, the government’s representative, “our government cannot claim to support human rights while supporting an apartheid regime.”

“Trade unions, civil society, and communities across the country are uniting to demand action.” Palestine is in awe.

Enough is enough, simply put.

The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IFSPC), the world’s most influential authority on food crises, announced famine in Gaza City after the IPC, the IFPS, the world’s leading authority on food crises, announced the protests.

Nearly two million people have been displaced in Gaza as a result of Israeli forces’ intensified attacks and bombardments.

More than half a million people in Gaza, or roughly a quarter of its population, are at risk of dying from malnutrition, according to the IPC report.

On Sunday, protests in solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza were held all over the world, including in Senegal, Kenya, Malaysia, and Belgium. In the United Kingdom and Sweden, there were demonstrations over the weekend.

In response to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s request, thousands of people gathered at a mass rally in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia’s capital, to demand that the group of activists bring humanitarian aid to Gaza later this month.

Demonstrators in Senegal’s capital Dakar criticized Israeli attacks on Palestinians in the region and demanded that the Gaza Strip’s famine-stricken area be given humanitarian aid.

Hunderte of bikers gathered in Nairobi to chant “Free Palestine.” Many decried Israel’s deadly assault on the international community.

According to Nairobi-based journalist Catherine Soi, protesters are standing with Palestinians in Gaza.

They have witnessed parents being killed as they travel to get food for their families, according to Soi, who described the horrific images of children who are starving. They are saying, “Enough is enough, here.”

Since the Israeli-Palestine conflict started on October 7, 2023, at least 62, 263 Palestinians have died, according to Gaza’s health ministry.

At least 2, 000 Palestinians were trying to secure meager food packages at the Israeli- and US-backed GHF aid distribution sites, which Palestinian officials called “death traps.”

The conclusion is therefore out. The late, vile financier and child sex abuser Jeffrey Epstein has been cleared of any association with US President Donald Trump. This is alleged to be true by Epstein’s former partner Ghislaine Maxwell, who was given a 20-year prison sentence in 2022 on sex trafficking charges.

US Attorney General Pam Bondi reportedly informed the president that his name appeared in the so-called “Epstein files,” which Trump had stated on the campaign trail he would be very interested in releasing.

However, once in office, he made the unwarranted assumption that the Epstein case was old news, even going so far as to criticize those in his own MAGA base who were “stupid” and “foolish” enough to continue demanding that the files be declassified.

The US Justice Department has now released transcripts of an interview between Maxwell and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, a former Trump personal attorney, who had nothing but praise for the president’s moral steadiness.

“Never in any way did I see the president in an inappropriate setting.” Never did the president have inappropriate relations with anyone. He was a gentleman in every way when I was with him.

Maxwell’s admiration for the president seemed to be unbroken. Trump never failed to approach me and treat me with kindness and respect, declaring that she liked him and had always liked him.

Never mind Maxwell’s reputation as a repeat liar who faced perjury charges for lying under oath after being found guilty of other charges. It is undoubtedly not related to Maxwell’s current plea for a presidential pardon from the same man that led to the obsequious tribute to Trump’s allegedly upstanding behavior.

In any case, the admirable assessment should at least at least help dispel many Trump supporters’ dissatisfaction with how the administration handled the Epstein case. Maxwell’s testimony, which Trump praised as “terrific” and “very special,” was welcomed as proof that the president “has always been an honorable person,” by far-right influencer and self-categorised “proud Islamophobe” Laura Loomer, for example.

Loomer expressed confidence that harmony would soon be restored among MAGA adherents, saying that “these transcripts will quell a lot of the nasty, salacious lies and rumors that were spread by bad actors online.”

Nothing is more inspiring than the kinship between members of a hate and discord group.

Trump has since stated that he “couldn’t care less” about the US Justice Department’s release of the Epstein files to Congress.

The president continued, “The Democrats don’t know what to do, so they keep bringing up that stuff,” he said in a press release, citing the “whole Epstein thing is a Democrat hoax” as a result of the Democratic Party’s inability to deal with Trump’s remarkable success at the helm of the country.

The president’s brain typically makes most calculations, but there is no connection between the “greatest” time period’s proclamation and actuality. In fact, the majority of what has occurred over the past six or seven months has been decidedly uninspired – not that anything from Joe Biden, Trump’s Democratic predecessor, was particularly encouraging.

Americans continue to suffer from rising living costs, which many consider to be the unsustainable behavior of many people. Gun violence constitutes a veritable national pastime, and basic rights like housing, education, nutrition, and healthcare have long been turned into for-profit organizations.

Under Trump’s direction, US law enforcement organizations have abducted and vanished undocumented employees, foreign academics, and citizens of the United States. Washington, D.C., the nation’s capital, has also been militarized as a result of National Guard troops’ deployments to allegedly “fight crime” in the city’s sparsely populated areas.

Meanwhile, over the past six or seven months, Trump has continued to support Israel’s massive international genocide of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip while also bombing Iran in egregious violation of international law.

The UN officially declared famine in Gaza just days ago, which is a logical outcome of Israeli efforts to enforce starvation under US control.

And all of this while the Trump administration prioritizes denying climate change, which is only making things worse.

Trump’s de facto character from Maxwell is at best completely irrelevant in light of the rather apocalyptic landscape: he kisses the back of another convicted criminal who also happens to be the president of the United States.

Maxwell’s testimony adds just more suspense to the dystopian cake. The character certificate at least at least summarizes where the United States is headed heading in the near future, at least until at least the “greatest” months in 2025.
