NYPD puts out steamy, cleavage-bearing wanted poster as they look to bust sultry robbery suspect
The cops were hot on her trail.
A female robbery suspect became New York’s most wanted this week, when the NYPD put out a poster for her that featured her twirling her hair with a sultry pout and an almost criminal amount of cleavage.
The sultry image of Lucie Lora, 34, led to her being busted Wednesday by the long, sweaty hand of the law on charges of attempting to steal her brother’s fiancee’s engagement ring.
Lora is accused of telling her 38-year-old brother Carlos Lora Diaz to snatch his 34-year-old ex’s ring as tensions flared inside an apartment on 32nd Avenue near 91st Street in Jackson Heights around 9:40 a.m. Thursday, police said.
Diaz then allegedly shoved the victim to the ground, causing pain to her hip, cops said.
Both took off but cops caught up to them around 8 a.m. Tuesday, charging each with second-degree attempted robbery, cops said.
Lora does not have any prior arrests, but her brother has three, according to police…
Kremlin Presses Kiev for Direct Peace Talks Amid Looming US-Ukraine Mineral Agreement
The Kremlin on Wednesday urged Ukrainian officials to begin direct negotiations with Moscow, stating that a peace settlement over the ongoing conflict must be reached between the two warring nations—not brokered solely through the United States.
The comments came as the U.S. and Ukraine move toward finalizing a strategic mineral agreement designed in part to repay Washington for its extensive military aid to Kiev. The development, seen as a milestone in President Donald Trump’s broader diplomatic efforts to resolve the war, prompted a response from Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.
“A peace deal should be done with the Ukraine, not with America,” Peskov said in a statement Wednesday. “Unfortunately, we haven’t heard any statements in this context from Kiev, so we don’t know whether Kiev is ready or not.”
Peskov reiterated that Moscow is prepared to engage in direct talks, something he first signaled Tuesday. He added that the U.S.—while valued as a mediator—cannot sign a peace agreement on Ukraine’s behalf, even as Trump administration officials move into the final stages of their proposed negotiation framework.
“The primary thing is to begin this negotiation process,” Peskov said, noting that all other matters are “secondary.” He emphasized that Russia remains unconvinced of Kiev’s readiness to engage in meaningful peace efforts.
Ukraine, however, remains constrained by its own legislation. A 2022 law explicitly prohibits peace talks with Russia while President Vladimir Putin remains in power. Moscow has repeatedly called on Kiev to rescind the measure but has received no indication of change.
According to RT, Peskov also thanked the Trump administration for its continued diplomatic initiatives and recognized Washington’s urgency in seeking a resolution, while cautioning that peace is “too complicated to be achieved overnight.”
The mineral deal, widely seen as a strategic economic pivot for Ukraine, is intended not only to compensate the U.S. for military and financial assistance, but also to form the basis for long-term cooperation in resource development. President Trump reportedly views the agreement as both a “win-win” and a foundational step toward ending the war….
AI Bots in California Steal Over $10 Million in Federal Financial Aid
If you’re a community college student in California, there’s a chance that at least one of your fellow students is actually an AI bot robbing taxpayers. Recent data from the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office suggest that these bots have stolen more than $10 million in federal financial aid and upward of $3 million in state aid between March 2023 and March 2024.
The scam is simple: Bots create AI-generated student profiles, apply for enrollment, and submit minimal online coursework—often AI-generated—to stay enrolled long enough to receive federal and state aid disbursements intended for low-income students. The scammers are known as “Pell runners,” who disappear after collecting the $7,400 federal grant.
According to reporting by CalMatters, cases surged after restrictions around financial aid were loosened during the COVID-19 pandemic to make it easier for eligible students to access the one-time grants, which were provided to keep students enrolled.
At the same time, coursework was moved online to comply with the state’s lockdowns, opening the door to virtual scammers. As early as 2021, the Chancellor’s Office estimated that 20 percent of applications were fraudulent.
Now, increasingly sophisticated AI tools have made the problem worse, and recent data suggest that around 34 percent of California community college applicants are fake. Despite California allocating over $150 million since 2022 toward cybersecurity to help authenticate students and combat fraud at community colleges, scammers have successfully stolen more financial aid with each passing year…
When to expect your Social Security benefits for May
For some Social Security recipients, May could bring three checks from the Social Security Administration.
Anyone who receives supplemental security income from the agency will receive two payments in May, in addition to their regular Social Security benefit check.
As of March of this year, the agency reported more than 7.4 million people — seniors, adults and children — receive SSI benefits.
Recently, some individuals have reported receiving notices that they were “not receiving benefits.” However, the Social Security Administration has said that these notices were sent by mistake.
Some recipients have started receiving bigger benefit checks due to the Social Security Fairness Act. Anyone who received a public sector pension in retirement that was restricted due to the Windfall Elimination Provision and the Government Pension Offset had their benefits updated in April.
If you receive SSI, you will receive two payments in May: One on Thursday, May 1, and another on Friday, May 30. The May 30 payment is technically for June, so you won’t receive another SSI payment until July 1…
Kuwait frees 10 more Americans in the second release in as many months
Kuwait has released an additional 10 American detainees, bringing to nearly two dozen the total number freed by the country in the past two months, U.S. officials told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
Taken together, Kuwait’s pardons of 23 Americans since March — done as a goodwill gesture by the U.S. ally — amounted to the largest release of U.S. citizens by a single foreign country in years.
The prisoners include military contractors and veterans held on drug charges and other offenses by the small, oil-rich nation. One detainee was said by supporters to have been coerced into signing a false confession and endured physical violence and threats against his wife and daughter.
Ten others were released on March 12, weeks after a visit to Kuwait by Adam Boehler, who is serving as the Trump administration’s envoy for hostage affairs.
“We flew out, we sat down with the Kuwaitis, and they said, listen, no one’s ever asked before at this level” for the release of the Americans, Boehler told the AP.
The releases were not done as part of a swap and the U.S. was not asked to give up anything in return….
Sec. Noem: Harvard Not Getting Any More Grants From DHS
President Donald Trump on Wednesday said the move by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to pull all grants for Harvard University was “good,” as “the students they have, the professors they have, the attitude they have is not American.”
“A grant is a grant. We don’t have to give grants. So we’ll pull back the grants,” Trump said during a Cabinet meeting after Noem relayed the news.
Harvard earlier this month said it would defy the Trump administration’s demands to limit activism on campus. Hours later, the federal government said it was freezing more than $2.2 billion in grants and $60 million in contracts to the Ivy League school.
In a letter to Harvard in mid-April, Trump’s administration had called for broad government and leadership reforms at the university as well as changes to its admissions policies. It also demanded the university audit views of diversity on campus and stop recognizing some student clubs.
The federal government said almost $9 billion in grants and contracts in total were at risk if Harvard did not comply.
Trump: Canada’s Carney Wants to Make a Deal, Will Visit White House Soon
President Donald Trump said Wednesday that Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is looking to make a trade deal and will visit the White House within the next week.
Trump said he had congratulated Carney on Monday’s election win when the Canadian leader called Tuesday.
“He called me up yesterday — he said let’s make a deal,” Trump told reporters at the White House after a televised Cabinet meeting.
Trump said Carney “couldn’t have been nicer and I congratulated him.” He said the Canadian leader would come to the White House within a week.
Trump said this week’s Canadian election sends a “very mixed signal because it’s almost even, which makes it very complicated for the country. It’s [a] pretty tight race.”
FBI Reassigns Agents That Kneeled During George Floyd Protest
The FBI reassigned many agents that were photographed kneeling during a 2020 protest after the death of George Floyd.
The reassignments are part of President Donald Trump’s efforts to remove “woke” and other politicized elements from within America’s intelligence community.
One former FBI official told CNN the reassignments raise concern the bureau bypassed its typical disciplinary process, which can reportedly take months or more than a year to review incidents.
After the photos initially emerged in the wake of George Floyd’s death, top FBI officials at the time reviewed the incident and said there were no violations of policy.
FBI Director Kash Patel said in February there would no longer be a “two-tier system of justice” but rather one “singular system of justice for all Americans.”
“I promise you the following — there will be accountability within the FBI and outside of the FBI, and we will do it through rigorous Constitutional oversight starting this weekend,” Patel concluded.
Biden-Appointed Judge Blocks Border Patrol from Arresting Suspected Illegal Aliens Without Warrants
This week, Thurston issued a preliminary injunction that will prevent Border Patrol agents in California’s eastern district, the largest judicial district in the state, from carrying out arrests of suspected illegal aliens without a warrant and halting such arrests unless agents have a “reasonable suspicion” the suspect is an illegal alien.
“Indeed, the evidence before the Court is that Border Patrol agents under DHS authority engaged in conduct that violated well-established constitutional rights,” Thurston wrote:
Border Patrol is enjoined from conducting detentive stops in this District unless, pre-stop, the detaining agent has reasonable suspicion that the person to be stopped is a noncitizen who is present within the United States in violation of U.S. immigration law, as required by the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution. [Emphasis added]
Border Patrol is enjoined from effecting warrantless arrests in this District unless, pre-arrest, the arresting agent has probable cause to believe that the noncitizen being arrested is likely to escape before a warrant can be obtained, as required by 8 U.S.C. § 1357(a)(2). [Emphasis added]
In addition, Thurston is requiring Border Patrol agents to document “in narrative form” all arrests of illegal aliens made without a warrant with “particularized facts that supported the agent’s reasonable suspicion, which was formed in advance of the stop.”
Border Patrol agents will also be required to hand over “documentation describing Border Patrol’s detentive stops and warrantless arrests within this District” within 60 days of Thurston’s order and every 60 days thereafter…
Biden-Appointed Judge Stops Trump from Ending Taxpayer-Funded Lawyers for Migrants
Olguin, born in Mexico City, Mexico, and appointed to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, has issued a nationwide injunction blocking President Donald Trump from ending taxpayer funds being used to pay for lawyers for UACs.
The Trump administration had sought to get Olguin thrown off the case, revealing that she once worked as a managing attorney for one of the lead plaintiffs in the case, Community Legal Services in East Palo Alto.
Attorneys for the Trump administration said Olguin’s handling of the case presents an “appearance of bias” due to her prior work with the plaintiffs.
American taxpayers have been forced to pay billions of dollars for lawyers for UACs making their way through the nation’s immigration court system.
More than 25,000 UACs are provided with these free lawyers, thanks to funding approved by Congress year after year….

Blue-haired perv with long NYC rap sheet groped four women — including blind victim — and set bystander’s hair on fire in terrifying rampage: cops
A blue-haired maniac with a long rap sheet went on a disgusting rampage in Manhattan, groping four women — including one who is blind — and lighting a fifth unsuspecting victim’s hair on fire, police said.
Edwin Page — a 28-year-old from Harlem with at least 10 prior arrests and more than a dozen mental health disturbance calls — was busted this week for the unhinged, broad-daylight attacks across Chelsea and Midtown South, authorities said.
The perv first horrifically targeted the 23-year-old blind woman on Friday morning at West 23rd Street near Seventh Avenue.
The victim was using a guide cane and waiting to enter a Flatiron service center around 8:10 a.m. when the creep came up to her and cruelly sneered, “Hey blind girl. I’m a detective. Can you see my badge? Of course not, you’re blind,” according to police.
He then grabbed her buttocks before walking off and returning a short time later, asking the victim, “Do you have the time?,” cops said.
“Do you want to know what it feels like to be my girlfriend?” the sicko allegedly asked, before pressing his genitals into her leg.
Just 15 minutes later, Page allegedly set his sights on a 37-year-old woman pushing a stroller near the same intersection, slapping her buttocks before running off, cops said.
He returned to Sixth Avenue and West 32nd Street around 12:50 p.m. and terrifyingly lit a woman’s hair on fire, cops said.
The woman was walking up the avenue when she smelled smoke and realized her locks were burning, according to police.
She managed to pat down her own hair and extinguish the flames before she was seriously hurt, cops said…

FBI Arrests Ringleaders of International Sadistic Child Exploitation Network “764” — Nihilistic Extremist Group Linked to Graphic Abuse and Violence Involving Minors
Content Warning: The following news article contains descriptions of graphic and disturbing content, including references to child sexual abuse, self-harm, and violent acts. This material may be distressing or triggering for some readers. Reader discretion is strongly advised.
The FBI has arrested two ringleaders of the international child exploitation network known as “764,” a nihilistic violent extremist (NVE) group bent on destroying civilized society.
Leonidas Varagiannis, 21, a U.S. citizen residing in Thessaloniki, Greece, and Prasan Nepal, 20, of North Carolina, face charges for orchestrating a heinous enterprise that targeted vulnerable children as young as 13.
Varagiannis was apprehended in Greece yesterday, while Nepal was arrested on April 22, 2025, in North Carolina, with court hearings pending in Washington, D.
If convicted, the defendants will face a maximum penalty of life in prison.
The group operated globally, including in Washington, D.C., using encrypted messaging platforms to coordinate their activities.
The arrests were announced by Interim Attorney Ed Martin, Attorney General Pamela Bondi, and FBI Assistant Directors Steven Jensen and Christopher Raia.
“The allegations in this case are not only disturbing, they are also every parent’s nightmare” said U.S. Attorney Martin. “The number of victims allegedly exploited by these defendants, and the depths of depravity are staggering. Justice demands that our response be swift in order to ensure public safety, hold the wrongdoers accountable, and bring the victims some sense of closure so they can heal.”
“These defendants are accused of orchestrating one of the most heinous online child exploitation enterprises we have ever encountered – a network built on terror, abuse, and the deliberate targeting of children,” said Attorney General Bondi. “We will find those who exploit and abuse children, prosecute them, and dismantle every part of their operation.”
The 764 network allegedly targeted vulnerable minors, often girls with mental health challenges, grooming them to produce and share sexually explicit content and engage in self-harm….
Ukraine says it hopes to sign U.S. minerals deal within 24 hours
Ukraine is ready to sign an agreement that would give the U.S. access to its valuable rare minerals in the hopes of ensuring continued American support for Kyiv in its grinding war with Russia, senior Ukrainian officials said Wednesday.
Ukraine’s economy minister, Yulia Svyrydenko, was headed to Washington on Wednesday to help finalize the deal, the country’s prime minister said live on air during a national telethon.
For Ukraine, the agreement is seen as key to ensuring its access to future U.S. military aid.
“Truly, this is a strategic deal for the creation of an investment partner fund,” Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said on Ukrainian television. “This is truly an equal and good international deal on joint investment in the development and restoration of Ukraine between the governments of the United States and Ukraine.”
It wasn’t immediately clear if the Trump administration was also ready to finalize the deal Wednesday.
The U.S. is seeking access to more than 20 raw materials deemed strategically critical to its interests, including Ukraine’s deposits of titanium, which is used for making aircraft wings and other aerospace manufacturing, and uranium, which is used for nuclear power, medical equipment and weapons. Ukraine also has lithium, graphite and manganese, which are used to make electric vehicle batteries….
Middle school teacher faces rape, sodomy charges over accusations of years-long sexual abuse of 12-year-old boy
On Thursday, 47-year-old Jill Brisendine Campbell was arrested by officers with the Opelika Police Department. She was charged with second-degree rape and second-degree sodomy. Campbell has since been released on a $35,000 bond.
Campbell – who has reportedly taught at the middle school for more than 20 years – was placed on administrative leave after the eye-opening child sexual assault allegations surfaced.
Citing the Opelika Police Department, the New York Post reported that the alleged sexual abuse started in 2015, when the student was just 12 years old. However, the investigation did not begin until April 15, 2025, when police received a tip from a former student, according to AL.com.
“The victim reported that the acts occurred when they were in 7th and 8th grade and attending Opelika Middle School. An investigation revealed evidence that corroborated the victim’s statement,” the Opelika Police Department stated.
According to court documents obtained by WRBL-TV, Campbell is accused of engaging in sexual intercourse and oral sex with the student up until 2017….
