EXCLUSIVE: Arnold Schwarzenegger ‘Desperate’ to Run for President to ‘Restore America’ as Trump ‘Bulldozes Democracy’

**Arnold Schwarzenegger Privately Exploring 2028 Presidential Run Despite Constitutional Barriers**

*Published September 19, 2025, 6:45 p.m. ET*

Arnold Schwarzenegger is privately exploring ways to run for the U.S. presidency, despite constitutional barriers, in what allies describe as a desperate attempt to stop Donald Trump and “restore democracy,” RadarOnline.com can reveal.

The 78-year-old Terminator star and former Republican governor of California has become increasingly vocal about his fears for America’s future following the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, 31, in Utah.

**President Schwarzenegger?**

Friends of Schwarzenegger say the murder has sharpened his determination to confront political violence and address the deep divisions tearing the country apart — divisions he blames on both parties, the media, and Trump himself.

Speaking at the University of Southern California, Schwarzenegger warned:
*”We have to be very careful that we don’t get closer to the cliff. Because when you fall down that cliff, down there, there is no democracy. We have to be very, very careful. I think it’s very important that we turn this around and that we show people power. Because the people can turn this around, the people have the ultimate power.”*

One longtime Republican strategist revealed:
*”Arnold has been telling people close to him that he can’t just sit back and watch Trump bulldoze democracy. He knows the Constitution bars him from running for the presidency, but he’s desperate to find a path — whether that’s lobbying for reform or using his star power to rally voters against Trump.”*

**Reflecting on Charlie Kirk’s Death**

Schwarzenegger described Kirk’s death as “unbelievable” and a chilling sign of how far the nation has fallen.
*”I was very, very upset that someone’s life was taken because they have a different opinion,”* he said.
*”This was a great communicator, a great advocate for the right, for Republican causes. He had such a great way of communicating with the students who agreed or disagreed with him. And he was a great father, a great husband. I was thinking about his children. They will only be reading about him now, instead of him reading to them bedtime stories.”*

The gunman suspect, Tyler Robinson, 22, has been charged with aggravated murder. Schwarzenegger linked the killing to toxic divisions fueled online and in politics.

**Blaming Social Media, Media, and Politics**

*”We have to acknowledge that the cause of all this is the social media companies that are dividing us, the mainstream media companies that are dividing us. The political parties: the Democrats that are dividing us, the Republicans that are dividing us,”* Schwarzenegger added.
*”We’re getting hit from so many different angles, and we have to be very careful that we don’t get closer to that cliff.”*

**Trump’s Response to Rising Tensions**

Donald Trump, 79, dismissed concerns about rising tensions in the wake of Kirk’s killing during an appearance on *Fox & Friends*, stating:
*”I tell you something that is going to get me in trouble, but I couldn’t care less. The radicals on the right are radical because they don’t want to see crime. The radicals on the left are the problem – and they are vicious and horrible and politically savvy. They want men in women’s sports, they want transgender for everyone, they want open borders – the worst thing that happened to this country.”*

**Would Schwarzenegger Win?**

Austrian-born Schwarzenegger, who previously told CNN’s Chris Wallace in 2023 he could “so clearly” win the presidency if allowed to run, remains ineligible due to the Constitution’s natural-born citizen clause. But advisers insist this has not stopped him from floating the idea.

A former aide shared:
*”He feels uniquely qualified to bring Americans together at a time when it’s all about who you vote against rather than who you vote for. He’s been telling people, ‘If I can’t run, then maybe I can at least inspire someone else who can beat Trump.'”*

Though Schwarzenegger insists he is “not worried” about Trump ultimately prevailing, he has been clear about the stakes. Speaking to Wallace, he said:
*”Look, it’s a no-brainer. I see so clearly how I could win that election.”*

Takaichi Announces Candidacy for LDP Leadership

I, Sanae Takaichi, as someone who loves Japan and the Japanese people with all my heart, and who firmly believes in their strength, will once again run in the Liberal Democratic Party leadership election, Takaichi said at a press conference on September 19th.

Calling for Japan to once more stand at the top of the world, she pledged to pursue economic growth without compromise. Her proposals include the creation of a control center for foreign resident issues and stronger measures against illegal overstayers, aiming to shore up conservative support.

At the same time, her willingness to adopt opposition-backed policies has raised doubts among some conservatives about her capacity to build alliances across party lines. Takaichi said she would push for a tax credit system that increases net income relative to wages, known as a refundable tax credit—an idea championed by the Constitutional Democratic Party.

She also pledged to develop backup crisis-management functions for the capital, echoing Nippon Ishin’s second capital concept, and to reform income thresholds, as advocated by the Democratic Party for the People.

Meanwhile, Agriculture Minister Shinjiro Koizumi, who placed third behind Takaichi in last year’s race, launched his campaign team the same day. “We must not forget last year’s result, and fight through with a sense of urgency until the end,” Koizumi said, adding that he will announce his policy platform on September 21st.

Koizumi also gained a significant endorsement. Former Digital Minister Taro Kono said, “When we think about who can truly rebuild the party from its foundation, Koizumi is the most suitable.”

With the official announcement just three days away, leadership contenders are stepping up their campaigns.

Huston-Tillotson University receives single largest donation to an HBCU with $150 million gift, school says

Melva K. Wallace, president and CEO of Huston-Tillotson University, embraced Ross Moody after he announced a historic $150 million donation from The Moody Foundation on September 18. This generous gift, to be distributed over the next 10 years, marks the single-largest donation ever made to a historically Black college or university (HBCU).

In celebration of Huston-Tillotson University’s 150th anniversary, Ross Moody, trustee and vice president of The Moody Foundation, revealed the foundation’s groundbreaking contribution during the university’s opening convocation on Thursday. The announcement was met with thunderous applause and cheers from attendees.

This large-scale donation comes amid the Trump administration’s continued efforts to curtail diversity, equity, and inclusion programs at public universities. While President Donald Trump has recently redirected nearly $500 million in federal funding to HBCUs, he also cut grants for Hispanic-serving colleges.

Melva K. Wallace described the donation as “transformational” for the historically Black liberal arts institution. “I see this as an endorsement of what we’re doing and a rocket booster to help us get to the next level,” Wallace told CNN. “The difference maker is that this is truly going to help students.”

The funds will primarily support students through scholarships, as well as enable expansion of university housing and campus facilities, Wallace explained.

### The Moody Foundation and Its Legacy

This gift represents the largest donation in the Texas-based Moody Foundation’s 83-year history. In 2023, the foundation pledged to contribute $1 billion toward education in Texas by 2035.

Ross Moody emphasized that the foundation’s belief in education and Huston-Tillotson’s vision motivated this exceptional gift. Initially planning to donate $130 million, the foundation increased the amount, stating, “Our belief in (Huston-Tillotson’s) vision and in this university’s future moved us to do more.”

The Moody Foundation has maintained a long-standing relationship with Huston-Tillotson, donating over $1.3 million since 1968. Elle Moody, the foundation’s senior vice president of grants, highlighted the university’s special significance: “This institution is special in more ways than most are aware and is deserving of a grant of this magnitude.” She further noted the foundation’s commitment to supporting Huston-Tillotson for the next 150 years.

### Huston-Tillotson University: A Rich History

Founded in 1875 by George J. Tillotson, the university began as the Tillotson Collegiate and Normal Institute with a mission to provide teacher training and quality education for African Americans. It gained its charter in 1877, was renamed Tillotson College in 1909, and became a four-year institution in 1931.

In 1952, Tillotson College merged with Samuel Huston College to form Huston-Tillotson College. The institution officially became Huston-Tillotson University in 2005. Today, the 23-acre campus serves 1,059 students, according to Wallace.

Linda Y. Jackson, vice president for institutional advancement, reflected on the university’s resilience through significant social challenges such as segregation, the Civil Rights Movement, and the Black Lives Matter movement. As the only HBCU in Austin, Texas, Huston-Tillotson continues to stand strong.

“We have been through every single thing, but there is one component at the core of what we do here at Huston-Tillotson University: students are here to fulfill their dreams and aspirations,” Jackson told CNN.

### Continuing a Tradition of Supporting Texas Education

The Moody Foundation was established in 1942 by W.L. Moody Jr. and Libbie Shearn Moody. Moody Jr., founder of Moody National Bank, was a multifaceted entrepreneur engaged in banking, insurance, hotels, ranching, and newspaper printing. The couple created the foundation to share their wealth and impact the lives of Texans positively.

Today, the foundation is led by Frances Moody-Dahlberg, Ross Moody, and Elle Moody, continuing the founders’ legacy.

Wallace praised the Moody family as “angels of change” for their significant investment in education at Huston-Tillotson. “(The Moodys) support education. They support this institution. They support Texas, and I hope that it becomes a symbol of infectious generosity, where one person is inspired to do something and then others begin to follow suit,” she said.

This $150 million gift surpasses the $100 million donation received by Spelman College in 2024, which previously held the record for the largest single donation to an HBCU.

Wallace remains hopeful that Huston-Tillotson will not hold this title for long and encourages other philanthropists to follow the Moodys’ lead.

“I’m calling out all philanthropists out there to top this, because our HBCUs need it, and they deserve it,” Wallace declared.

Indore: 61 Booked For Rumours, Hate Posts On Instagram After Salman Lala’s Death

**Indore Crime Branch Books 61 Instagram Users for Posting Misleading Information Following Death of Criminal Salman Lala**

Indore (Madhya Pradesh): The City Crime Branch on Friday booked 61 Instagram account users for posting misleading information after the death of criminal Salman Lala. Officials stated that these posts and reels could hurt the sentiments of various communities.

Following Lala’s death, some anti-social elements attempted to instigate hatred and animosity between communities by sharing provocative and misleading content through multiple Instagram IDs. Such actions have the potential to disturb public peace and adversely affect harmony among castes and communities, the police warned.

The Crime Branch team identified a total of 61 Instagram IDs involved in spreading this misleading information. Prima facie, the actions of these users have been found to violate sections 223, 196, 353 (1)(a), and 353 (1)(c) of the BNS. Consequently, a case has been registered against them, and further investigations are ongoing.

Additional DCP (Crime) Rajesh Dandotiya provided insight into Salman Lala’s death. Lala drowned in a pond in Sehore while attempting to escape from the Crime Branch a few days ago. The Crime Branch was actively searching for him due to his involvement in drug supply operations.

After tracing Lala’s location to an area between Bhopal and Dewas, the team reached the spot and pursued him. Lala managed to flee from the vehicle and later jumped into a pond in Sehore to avoid apprehension. His body was recovered from the pond the following day.

After his body was brought back to the city, thousands of people and Lala’s supporters gathered near his residence and at the BRTS stop near LIG Square.

To identify individuals spreading rumors on social media, SI Reena Rathore from the Social Media Monitoring Cell was tasked with collecting information about the users involved.

In response to the situation, the Commissioner of Police has issued prohibitory orders against posting misleading content, reels, and similar material on social media platforms.

The authorities urge the public to refrain from sharing unverified information and to maintain communal harmony during this sensitive time.

iPhone Air Faces Condensation Complaints As Early Users Report Foggy Patches Inside Camera Lens After Just One Day

Just a day after hitting the shelves, the new iPhone Air is already facing complaints from early adopters about condensation forming inside the camera lens. Reports on Reddit and Twitter have surfaced, showing photos of fogged-up lenses. This raises questions about whether Apple’s ultra-thin iPhone can withstand real-world conditions.

### Early iPhone Air Buyers Report Condensation Inside Camera Lens

The problem appears sporadically, with some users noticing foggy patches inside the camera lens after sudden changes in temperature or exposure to humid environments. While condensation inside smartphone cameras is not a new issue, it is surprising to see it occurring in a premium iPhone model—especially since Apple emphasized design refinements aimed at improving durability.

YouTuber Luke Miani shared an image on X (formerly Twitter), stating that his brand-new, day-one iPhone Air had condensation inside the camera. Another user on X, known as Dongle, also posted several images and commented, “My iPhone Air has condensation in the camera… maybe this is widespread.”

There was also a Reddit post featuring a similar experience, though the user later deleted the image. From available reports, it seems multiple early users have encountered the same issue.

### Potential Cause and Concerns

It remains to be seen if this problem is widespread. If confirmed, it could fuel criticism that Apple may have gone too far with the design in pursuit of extreme thinness. Even if the condensation inside the camera lens disappears on its own, the issue might tarnish the iPhone Air’s reputation among early adopters.

Some users speculate the problem may stem from reduced internal sealing or differences in thermal dissipation compared to the iPhone 17 Pro models, which feature a dedicated thermal management solution.

### What to Do If You Experience Camera Lens Condensation

If your iPhone Air’s camera lens is fogged up with condensation, it is advisable to:

– Keep the phone at room temperature for extended periods, allowing the water droplets to evaporate naturally.
– Store or use the iPhone in dry environments.
– Avoid sudden temperature shifts between hot and cold settings to reduce the chance of condensation reoccurring.

Apple has previously acknowledged that condensation inside the camera lens is not normal and could potentially lead to long-term hardware damage.

### Final Thoughts

It is still too early to declare this a widespread flaw, so we will wait for more reports before drawing any firm conclusions. For now, follow Apple’s advice to let the device dry naturally. If the condensation persists, you should contact Apple Support for assistance.

Trump administration again asks Supreme Court to lift block on ending TPS for Venezuelans

Americans’ grocery bills are growing, causing some shoppers to cut back on discretionary spending as they struggle to afford the basics. Food prices grew by half a percent from July to August, marking the fastest monthly rate of change since the fall of 2022.

Behind the rising cost of food items on store shelves are three main culprits, according to experts: tariffs from the Trump administration, climate change, and a shortage of agricultural workers in the U.S.

**The Impact of Tariffs**

Phil Lempert, a food industry analyst known as the “Supermarket Guru,” told CBS News correspondent Jo Ling Kent that the Trump administration’s wide-ranging tariffs are a leading cause of grocery inflation. Price hikes have been steepest on goods that the U.S. imports from nations facing higher levies. For example, the U.S. imports about 35% of its coffee from Brazil, whose exports are taxed at a rate of 50%. The latest Consumer Price Index data shows that coffee prices rose 21% in August compared with a year ago.

As companies face rising costs, they often pass those burdens onto consumers. In the case of tariffs, some businesses began raising prices on products even before the levies were fully in place.

“There’s no question that what we’ve seen is companies increasing prices because of the impending tariffs,” Lempert said. “What they want to do is protect themselves. A lot of these big food companies are public companies, so they have to report back to their shareholders on profit margins. They’ve been hedging their bets.”

Sometimes, packaged-goods companies disguise price hikes by offering consumers less product for the same amount of money. This covert inflation strategy is known as “shrinkflation,” Lempert explained:
“What they’re doing is putting less in the package, hoping that you and I won’t notice and will keep paying the same price or just a slightly increased price.”

**Climate Change’s Role**

Increasing temperatures and shifting weather patterns have made conditions for growing some fruits and vegetables in the U.S. inhospitable. As a result, much of domestic production has moved to Central and Latin America.

“We can’t grow our food where we used to grow it,” Lempert said.

**Labor Shortage in Agriculture**

Additionally, Trump-era immigration policies—including workplace raids targeting large numbers of immigrant workers—combined with waning interest in agricultural labor, have led to an industry-wide shortage.

**How Consumers Are Responding**

Consumers are reacting to higher prices by looking for deals, purchasing store-brand goods instead of name brands, and buying shelf-stable groceries in bulk at shopping clubs like Costco.

Lempert emphasized that a little planning can go a long way to help consumers buy what they need without overspending.

“The number one thing people want to do if they want to save money is stop wasting food,” Lempert said. “Forty percent of all the food in this country is wasted, and a lot of that happens in our homes. So take doggy bags from restaurants, use leftovers, freeze leftovers, and don’t waste food—you’ll save a substantial amount of money.”

The minister further underscored the value of experiential learning through educational trips. He suggested organizing visits to historical sites, agricultural activities, and banks to enrich students’ learning experiences.

In addition, Bhuse announced the organization of an elocution competition commemorating the 300th birth anniversary of Lokmata Punyashloka Ahilyadevi Holkar, and a quiz contest marking the 150th birth anniversary of tribal leader Birsa Munda.

**Administrative Reforms and Scholarship Exams Resumption**

Announcing administrative reforms, the minister revealed that the existing 15 school-level committees will be consolidated into four committees to enhance operational efficiency. He also confirmed the resumption of scholarship examinations for Classes 4 and 7 starting from the next academic year.

Principal Secretary Ranjit Singh Deol stressed the importance of local self-government bodies prioritizing education and health. He urged municipal commissioners to ensure effective implementation of government initiatives at the grassroots level.

Education Commissioner Sachindra Pratap Singh spoke about improving the quality of education, the implementation goals of the National Education Policy (NEP), targets set under the Nipun Bharat Abhiyan for 2027, and various ongoing school-level initiatives.

**Launch of Competition Guide and Conference Highlights**

During the ceremony, Minister Bhuse released the Teacher and Officer-Employee Competition Guide, which features 36 competitions and six Olympiads. The guide was prepared under the guidance of Rahul Rekhawar.

The conference included discussions on several critical topics such as the New Education Policy 2020, the PARAKH assessment survey report measuring learning outcomes, administrative reforms, and holistic education strategies.

Officials from different districts presented innovative educational practices implemented locally and were honored by the minister with mementos and books.

Additionally, administrative matters including Class 11 admissions, the Group School Scheme for inclusive education, the Unified District Information System for Education (UDISE) Plus database, and teacher recruitment approvals were deliberated.

Programs and schemes from the Maharashtra Primary Education Council, NEP 2020 action plans, competency-based question banks, e-Vidya educational channels, and yoga curriculum guides were also highlighted for effective execution.

**Upcoming Initiatives and Events**

Minister Bhuse directed schools across the state to organize annual gatherings, student sports competitions, and patriotic drills scheduled for January 26, 2026. He also announced an increase in prize money for science exhibitions, aiming to further encourage student participation and innovation.

The State-Level School Education Conference marks a significant step toward elevating educational standards in Maharashtra through strategic reforms, incentivizing innovation, and fostering community involvement in education.

EXCLUSIVE: ‘Dishonest’ Trump Keeping Information From UK Prime Minister During Meeting, Body Language Expert Claims… as Prez Signs Massive $350B Tech Deal

**Donald Trump and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer Sign $350 Billion Technology Deal Amid Speculation**

*Published: September 19, 2025, 2:45 p.m. ET*

Donald Trump and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer may have finalized a monumental $350 billion deal this week, but according to a body language expert, the U.S. president could be withholding critical information.

On Thursday, September 18, President Trump signed a joint memorandum of understanding that authorizes multi-billion dollar investments in sectors such as artificial intelligence (AI), civil nuclear energy, and quantum computing.

### Details of the Deal

During a press conference, Trump and Starmer announced the **Technology Prosperity Deal**, touting it as a significant win for both nations that could create up to 17,500 new jobs across the United States and the United Kingdom.

“This trip has galvanized $350 billion in deals across many sectors, and we’re committed to ensuring that the UK is a secure and reliable supply of the best AI, hardware, and software on Earth, and we supply that and make sure we supply it in quantity to the UK,” Trump remarked.

The 79-year-old president joked that it was “a better deal for you than us,” while praising Starmer’s negotiation skills.

Starmer referred to the agreement as “a good deal” and added, “It’s a blueprint to win this new era together, shape it according to our shared values, and seize the incredible opportunities that are on offer.”

### What’s Trump Hiding?

Despite the positive public exchanges, body language expert Inbaal Honigman observed a different dynamic, especially noting Trump’s hand gestures during the meeting.

“The President’s hands are close together, and he might be keeping his cards close to his chest, while the Prime Minister’s hands are wider apart, fingers splayed, which indicates sincerity and honesty,” Honigman told RadarOnline.com.

She continued, “As both are involved in creating a historic deal, there’s still a big advantage to the U.S. leader, as his body language suggests that he knows some stuff that his British counterpart doesn’t know.”

According to Honigman, Starmer “wasn’t sure what to expect” from their encounter and was “not confident the meeting would go well.”

### Are Trump’s Enemies Plotting?

Social media users have also expressed skepticism about Trump’s true motives with this massive agreement, with some branding it as “fake.”

One user questioned, “So, Trump wants the UK to get involved in AI for the US and turn it into a surveillance state to match the UK’s?”

Another added, “Great news… more fake deals.”

Some pointed out domestic priorities being overlooked, with one saying, “But not enough money for school lunches, Offender Registry, Sesame Street, or Environmental Cleanup. Priorities.”

While Trump appears to be fostering friendly relations with the UK, his global standing is far from secure. Reports suggest that China, Russia, and North Korea are covertly collaborating on a disturbing initiative to develop “biotech-fueled super soldiers” aimed at global domination.

### Secret Meeting of Authoritarian Leaders

Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-un, and China’s Xi Jinping recently convened in Beijing to commemorate the 80th anniversary of Japan’s World War II surrender. However, alongside celebratory events, the three dictators allegedly discussed plans to create “super soldiers.”

Sources claim the leaders were overheard on a hot mic discussing chilling topics, including harvesting human organs from political prisoners, advanced biotechnology, and medical transplants that could potentially allow soldiers and leaders to live—and fight—well beyond typical human lifespans, possibly for 150 years or more.

“In a few years, with the development of biotechnology, human organs can be constantly transplanted so that [people] can live younger and younger, and even become immortal,” Putin reportedly told Xi.

### Trump’s Response

It appears that Trump may have caught wind of these clandestine discussions. Historically active on his Truth Social platform, he wrote recently:

“May President Xi and the wonderful people of China have a great and lasting day of celebration. Please give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un, as you conspire against the United States of America.”

As the Technology Prosperity Deal moves forward, the world watches closely to see what this historic agreement truly entails — and what it might be hiding beneath the surface.

UP To Host Village-Level Job Fairs For First Time, Starting September in Meerut Division

**Uttar Pradesh to Host Village-Level Job Fairs, Offering Major Opportunities for Rural Youth**

Meerut: In a first-of-its-kind initiative, Uttar Pradesh is set to organize job fairs at the village level, aimed at providing significant employment opportunities for unemployed youth in rural areas. The recruitment drive will kick off this September, starting from the Meerut division.

Under the supervision of the Employment Department, private companies will conduct recruitments across six districts: Ghaziabad, Gautam Buddha Nagar, Bulandshahr, Baghpat, Hapur, and Meerut. Nearly 8,000 candidates are expected to secure jobs through these fairs.

A total of 40 block-level job fairs will be held, with each event hosting 5 to 10 participating companies. One of the key highlights is that selected candidates will receive appointment letters on the spot, streamlining the hiring process.

**Eligibility and Job Sectors**

The eligibility criteria vary from Class 8 to post-graduate level, depending on the sector. Job opportunities are available in diverse fields such as packaging, construction, sales, mechanical trades, and security, among others.

Officials have stated that starting salaries will range between Rs 15,000 and Rs 35,000 per month, depending on candidates’ qualifications and performance during interviews.

**Schedule and Registration**

The job fair schedule for Meerut’s 12 blocks begins on September 24 with an event at Rajpura and will continue through November 17, concluding at the Meerut block headquarters. Other locations include Kharkhoda, Machhra, Sarurpur, Sardhana, Daurala, Rohata, Jani, Mawana, Parikshitgarh, and Hastinapur.

Interested candidates are required to register on the Rojgar Sangam portal at [rojgarsangam.up.gov.in](http://rojgarsangam.up.gov.in). Additionally, free on-spot registration counters will be available at each job fair venue, allowing easy participation for all.

**Past Success**

Officials highlighted that over 30,000 youth were employed through similar fairs last year, with 7,000 jobs provided in Meerut alone, underscoring the effectiveness and reach of these recruitment drives.

This initiative promises to bring much-needed employment opportunities directly to rural youth, fostering economic growth and development at the grassroots level in Uttar Pradesh.
