The words were forceful enough on Tuesday when President Joe Biden rightly condemned the current 'ferocious surge of anti-Semitism in America and around the world.' He was speaking, appropriately enough, at a Holocaust memorial ceremony in the US Capitol on May 7 - seven months to the day of Hamas 's unprovoked and barbarous attack on Israel. Biden was even explicit about Hamas' s crimes on that fateful day and its responsibility for the war that inevitably followed October 7. 'I have not forgotten,' averred the President. But the most remarkable feature of his speech was how little his words seemed to matter. They disappeared in the wind almost as soon as they were uttered. There was a time when America - indeed the world - took serious notice of what a US president said. Biden, it appears, can be safely ignored.

A waitress named Christiana (left) has revealed the inappropriate messages sent to her by former pastor John-Paul Miller following the suicide of his wife Mica Miller.

Conservative men have explained why they ditched life in the US to start fresh in Russia as they praised the country's Christianity, stunning scenery and beautiful women. After losing faith in American politics and their former idol Donald Trump, the men say they have found a better social and spiritual fit in the eastern European country and are unfazed about being led by an autocratic dictator like Vladimir Putin.

Donald Trump is considering sending special operations teams into Mexico to kill the heads of drug cartels if he retakes the White House in November, according to a new report citing three sources familiar with his thinking. During his four years in office he pondered whether it would be possible to launch missile strikes on cartel operations. And, with the threat of drugs smuggled across the southern border only increasing since then, he is now publicly campaigning on a platform that includes using covert means to hurt the gangs responsible.

Callum and Jake Robinson, originally from Perth, were on a road trip with their American friend Jack Carter Rhoad around the west coast of Baja California on April 27 when they disappeared. On Saturday, their remains were found near the city of Ensenada - about 2km away from their Airbnb in Rosarito - at the bottom of a well. Each had a single gunshot wound to the head. Baja California's state prosecutor María Elena Andrade Ramírez alleged the trio had intended to steal the tyres, but the men died because they resisted the theft. However, photographs may suggest otherwise.

According to TMZ, the Chiefs star was 'taken aback' by Kramer's remarks about him on her podcast on Sunday, where she described him as a partygoer and someone always chasing attention. But, oddly enough, Kramer and Kelce have never met. What's more, is that Kelce had no idea who the country singer was before she came forward with her comments this past weekend. On Sunday, Kramer, who's engaged to former England attacking coach, Allan Russell, said that she initially 'loved' Kelce and Swift's DA-filled relationship,

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. described over a decade ago how a worm ate part of his brain and died. The 2024 longshot independent presidential candidate revealed the information during a 2012 divorce deposition unearthed by The New York Times and published on Wednesday. At first, doctors thought RFK Jr.'s had a brain tumor after a dark spot showed up on his brain scans. While packing for a surgery at Duke University Medical Center in 2010, Kennedy received a call from a doctor at New York-Presbyterian Hospital who believed the symptoms were a result of a dead parasite in his head.

The former MTV star has said farewell to the Golden State and hello to a popular city with lower taxes. Steve-O, who was born Stephen Glover, listed his three-bedroom, three-bathroom Hollywood Hills home and has already moved into a ranch in the Southeast. 'I got this ranch in Tennessee, which I love so much. I just had to say Hollywood, it's been cool, but I'm out,' he said in a YouTube video that he posted on May 2. Steve-O appeared to be living the dream in Tennessee and he hinted that one of the biggest reasons for the move is to stop paying California taxes.

Crews are working to clean up destroyed homes are business from storms that barreled through the Midwest and put Michigan through its first tornado emergency Tuesday. Kalamazoo County Sheriff Richard Fuller said more than a dozen mobile homes in Pavilion Township were 'totally destroyed.' At least 16 people, he added, were injured there, though the injuries were not life-threatening. 'The clean-up efforts are tremendous.

Two reported tornadoes blitzed the city of Portage and an adjacent community Tuesday night, destroying homes and commercial buildings, including a FedEx facility that was ripped apart.

It is more than 20 years since I discovered in my 50s that I have a copy of the gene, ApoE4, that has been linked to a raised risk of Alzheimer's. It's the same gene that the actor Chris Hemsworth carries, although he has two copies, one from each of his parents - he learned this in 2022 after having tests for a documentary series he was making about longevity. Now comes news of a major study that has found that almost everyone who has two copies of this gene goes on to develop early signs of Alzheimer's. Researchers at the Sant Pau Research Institute in Barcelona looked at data from 10,000 people and 3,000 brain donors and found that the majority of those with two copies showed signs of Alzheimer's by the time they reached the age of 55. The researchers estimate that around 2 per cent of people have this gene profile.

Flight attendants had to break up a fight between two men on a long-haul flight that started after one sat in the other's seat because he wanted to get away from another passenger's incessant coughing. The row started a few hours into the journey from Taiwan to San Francisco when one of the men was upset about a passenger next to him constantly coughing. The unnamed man took it upon himself to change seats and went to find an empty space.

The Royal Family put on a show of unity for King Charles today as he attended the first Buckingham Palace garden party of the summer season. His Majesty was accompanied by his wife Queen Camilla , the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh , the Princess Royal and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester. The only working royals missing were the Prince and Princess of Wales - William had conducted an investiture in Windsor earlier in the day, while Kate is not undertaking public duties due to her health - along with the Duke of Kent and Princess Alexandra, who are both carrying out fewer engagements due to their increasing frailty. While the garden party runs until 5.30pm, just two miles away Prince Harry is due to arrive at St Paul's Cathedral at 5pm to attend a service to celebrate the 10th anniversary of his Invictus Games. The Duke of Sussex , who remains estranged from many family members after a string of attacks on the Royal Family in recent years, said yesterday that he had been told his father did not have time to see him this week while he is staying in the UK.

Leo Lukenas III, 35, in New York City on Thursday from 'acute coronary artery thrombus, - a disease that causes the formation of a blood clot inside a blood vessel of the heart. The father of two and former member of the Army's Special Forces moved to banking last summer in an attempt to 'pursue new opportunities for his family,' according to his loved ones. The Brooklyn resident had reportedly recently worked on UMB'S $2billion deal acquisition of Heartland Financial USA, Inc. But, while his death was officially attributed to 'natural causes,' it has sparked claims from Wall Street workers who say the industry's conditions are unsustainable, particularly when ironing out a big deal.

A mother who splurged $400 on her child's birthday party was left furious after none of the invited guests showed up - including family members. Anber, from Las Vegas, had paid for catering, snacks, a bounce house and  decorations for her daughter's birthday party at their home in April, but the mother-of-five took to TikTok to slam the guests for 'not bothering' to make an appearance. Anber uploaded a video to her account @anberx5 that documents a decorated yet deserted back garden (pictured, right) on the day of the party, along with the food and games on display for the children to enjoy. In the first part of the 13-second clip, Anber's young son (pictured, left) was seen wiping away tears as he sat on a bench in the garden. She later clarified it was because he was 'hurt' that no-one turned up to celebrate his little sister's birthday.

A Texas man appeared on Antiques Roadshow in 2012 with a painting that had been in his family for generations - and was shocked when it became the most expensive painting ever appraised on the show. The artwork was identified as 'El Albañil,' an early work of prominent Mexican painter Diego Rivera, created when he was just 18 years old. Its retail value was estimated at between $800,000 and $1 million, but that number jumped even higher in 2018, when it was reappraised for between $1.2 and $2.2 million.

The former NFL player, who has targeted Tom Brady with provocative posts in the past, caused outrage and offense las month by saying Clark 'looks like she keeps it hairy'. Brown continued his attack on the No. 1 draft pick with a series of insults on social media, including a crass meme referring to Clark's boyfriend, which led to the 22-year-old blocking him on social media.  However, the former wide receiver initially appeared to show remorse for his attacks when Whitlock asked him to address Clark during a sit-down interview on the sports columnist's podcast. Brown began by praising Clark for her impact on women's sports before ruining the moment with another taunt.

A desperate single who plastered hundreds of flyers across the streets of New York 10 years ago is still lonely and back at it again with fresh new posters. Dan Perino, 61, set out on his initial mission to find love in 2014 - when he stuck up tens of thousands of posters all over New York's Greenwich Village. Back then, the posters simply featured a very serious headshot-esque picture of Perino, along with his phone number, a brief introduction and 'Looking for a Girlfriend' written in bold letters. Now, 10 years later, the single has returned to the streets with brand new posters featuring the exact same picture, now over a decade old, along with the same caption.

Dramatic footage shows how two helicopters approached the ship to execute the extraction before the rescuers were hoisted down and immediately began preparing the cruise traveler. The unnamed patient and his mother were then hauled up into the helicopter, where he received treatment while en route to a hospital in the US. His current condition remains unknown.

Danielle Wall, 30, has earned the title of Joshua Tree's premier rattlesnake wrangler. She removes the reptiles from properties around the national park and often receives hundreds of calls in a season. In 2020, the pandemic saw scores of new residents flocking to the Mojave Desert, enticed by low interest rates and a desire for isolation. Little did they know, they were moving into rattlesnake territory - and as rumbling machinery sent the reptiles skittering from their burrows, Wall received more than 400 calls, marking her busiest season to date.
