Bareilly Violence: Internet Suspended, Drones Deployed Amid Security Concerns – VIDEO

**Bareilly Administration Suspends Internet Services, Deploys Drones for Aerial Surveillance Amid Security Concerns**

The Bareilly administration has suspended internet services and deployed drones for aerial surveillance as part of precautionary security measures. This move comes amid rising concerns over local tensions and possible disturbances to public order.

Officials stated that cutting internet access aims to curb the spread of misinformation and prevent rumors that could inflame the situation. Drone surveillance has been activated to monitor sensitive areas, identify gathering spots, and assist police personnel on the ground.

“These steps are necessary to maintain peace and prevent any untoward incident. We are closely monitoring the situation,” said a senior police officer.

These measures form part of a wider strategy adopted across Uttar Pradesh to address potential communal or social unrest. Authorities typically impose internet shutdowns and increase surveillance during periods when intelligence inputs suggest a risk of escalation.

The suspension of internet services is expected to affect daily life and businesses in Bareilly until further notice. Residents have been urged to cooperate with security personnel and rely on official channels for updates.

Additionally, police patrols have been intensified in sensitive parts of the city to ensure law and order is maintained.

Donald Trump warns US military officials of `invasion` within country

US President Donald Trump Warns of ‘Invasion from Within’ Comparable to Foreign Enemy

US President Donald Trump on Tuesday (local time) issued a stark warning about an “invasion” taking place within the country, likening it to threats posed by foreign enemies. Speaking at the Marine Corps Base Quantico in Virginia before top US military officials, Trump highlighted the difficulty of identifying these domestic adversaries since “they don’t wear uniforms,” according to CNN.

“We’re under invasion from within. No different than a foreign enemy, but more difficult in many ways because they don’t wear uniforms,” Trump said.

Trump also suggested that some of America’s most dangerous cities be used for military training. Addressing Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, he emphasized the importance of focusing on inner cities, calling the situation “a big part of war now.”

“In our inner cities, which we’re going to be talking about because it’s a big part of war now. It’s a big part of war. I told Pete that we should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military, National Guard, but military. Because we’re going into Chicago very soon,” the President said.

He identified San Francisco, Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles as “very unsafe places” and pledged that his administration would tackle these areas “one-by-one.”

“San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles. They’re very unsafe places. And we’re gonna straighten them out one-by-one. It this is gonna be a major part for some of the people in this room. It’s a war, too. It’s a war from within,” Trump added.

Earlier, on September 21 (local time), President Trump highlighted the significant decrease in crime in Washington, DC. He said the city has become “totally different from last year,” pointing to the effect of the administration’s crime crackdown efforts.

Washington, DC has become “beautiful and safe,” Trump said, attributing the transformation to “good governance.”

In line with these statements, the US administration has been planning to deploy the National Guard to Chicago as part of President Trump’s broader anti-crime and immigration crackdown.

Charlie Kirk Assassin Suspect Tyler Robinson’s Family ‘Believes Security Photos of Man on Utah Campus Aren’t Him’ and ‘His Apartment Was Staged After Arrest,’ Candace Owens Claims

Leave a comment

**September 30, 2025 | Published 5:25 p.m. ET**

In a shocking development in the Charlie Kirk case, RadarOnline.com can reveal that Tyler Robinson’s family does not believe the security photos of the man on the Utah campus are actually him.

As previously reported, Charlie Kirk was at Utah Valley University in Orem on Wednesday, September 10, as part of his Turning Point USA fall 2025 tour. About 20 minutes into his event, he was shot in the neck. Although he was rushed to the hospital, he was pronounced dead shortly afterward.

### Candace Owens Claims Tyler Robinson’s Family Disputes Photo Identification

Tyler Robinson was taken into custody on September 13 and was officially charged with aggravated murder, felony discharge of a firearm causing serious bodily injury, and obstruction of justice in connection with the shooting. While Robinson has appeared in court twice, conservative commentator Candace Owens claims she spoke to Tyler’s family — and they do not seem to believe he assassinated Kirk.

“The family says that the photo of the young man coming up the stairs, which was shared—that blurry image—is definitely not Tyler Robinson,” Owens shared. “And let me just say, I never thought it looked like him. And neither did you.”

### Owens Also Questions the Identity of the Person in the Security Footage

Owens pointed out that Robinson’s “face looks different” than the person shown in the footage, describing the latter’s face as appearing “more narrow” and the person as “seems taller.” She also noted that Robinson has “full lips,” which the person in the image does not, and described Robinson as “broader” than the individual caught on video.

“So, I’m on board with that the person walking up the stairs is not Tyler Robinson,” she reiterated. “Because I feel like it was intentionally blurred. They also never gave us the footage at all because, in order to blur it, they probably needed a static image.”

Owens then dropped another bombshell, alleging that Robinson’s apartment was “staged after his arrest.”

### Was Tyler Robinson’s Apartment Staged?

“Now, you will recall I spoke to Lance [Twiggs]’s family, and one of the things that Lance’s family said was, ‘Hey, we own that apartment. They pay rent to us. We’ve never met Tyler Robinson,’” Owens continued. “But I can tell you it seems like they were trying to hide the fact that this apartment got raided.”

Owens also claimed it was “very strange” that Lance Twiggs was “immediately… cleared as a suspect” and said she was informed by “other people in the department they wanted to keep that raid very hush hush.”

“They didn’t want anybody to know about the raid,” she said. “There was no mention of the raid. And Lance immediately gets cleared as a suspect. Why?”

The political pundit further alleged that Robinson’s family “felt the apartment was staged,” noting that “a furry bed” was “intentionally” put in his room.

### Owens Questions the Allegations Against Tyler Robinson

“Almost sort of implying that they’re trying to transfer the attributes of Lance onto Tyler,” she elaborated. “And that’s shady. But, again, when I put together what I’m being told by Lance’s family and what I’m hearing from the Robinson family, through a third party, I will say that it matches. It kind of seems like they’re agreeing.”

“One family’s going, ‘Hey, Lance is kind of evil, why’s he getting cleared?’ and the other’s going, ‘Tyler’s not this guy. Tyler is not this guy. So what the h— is going on, guys? What is actually going on right now?’” Owens concluded, directing the question to her audience.

### Court Proceedings Continue Amidst Controversy

During Robinson’s second court appearance, prosecutors insisted there is a “substantial” amount of evidence to prove his guilt in the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

As this case unfolds, many questions remain unanswered, and the conflicting claims from families and commentators add complexity to an already controversial investigation. We will continue to follow the story closely and provide updates as new information emerges.

Ousted Nepalese PM KP Sharma Oli says he won`t flee amid political turmoil

Leave a comment

Former Prime Minister of Nepal and CPN-UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli has dismissed rumours that he plans to flee the country, accusing the current government of attempting to strip him of his security and official privileges, according to a report by Dhaka Tribune.

Speaking at a gathering of the party’s youth wing, Yuwa Sangh Nepal, in Gundu, Bhaktapur, Oli made it clear that he intends to stay and continue the political struggle. “Do you think we will flee by handing over the nation to this groundless government?” he asked his supporters. Oli emphasized his determination to “restore peace, good governance, and constitutional order.”

Oli recently vacated the Prime Minister’s official residence in Baluwatar on September 9, following weeks of Gen Z-led protests that culminated in the fall of his government. Since then, he has relocated to a rented home in Gundu after his personal residence in Balkot was set on fire by demonstrators, Dhaka Tribune reported.

He accused the Sushila Karki-led administration of lacking legitimacy, claiming it rose to power not through the will of the people but through “vandalism and arson.” Oli also challenged the government to release any communications he had with state officials during the protests. “Publish them with courage. Make public the instructions I gave,” he said, suggesting he has nothing to hide.

Expressing concern over threats of fresh attacks, Oli criticized the government for failing to ensure his security. “On social media, there are open calls to attack my residence. What is the government doing? Just watching?” he questioned.

Oli also objected to reports that the government has decided to withhold passports of several leaders, including himself, Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba, Arzu Rana Deuba, Ramesh Lekhak, and Deepak Khadka. The former prime minister accused the Karki government of “throwing the country into insecurity” by targeting political opponents, as reported by Dhaka Tribune.

Oli’s government was toppled on the second day of the Gen Z protests. Rights groups have held him and then-Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak responsible for the excessive use of force that resulted in dozens of deaths during the unrest.

A monitoring report by the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) released on Friday stated that the government’s failure to anticipate the intensity of the protests and the declining morale of security forces contributed to heavy casualties and damage. The report noted that while the first day of protests on September 8 remained peaceful, police shootings triggered widespread violence the following day.

Top diplomats of North Korea, China agree to deepen ties and resist hegemonism

Leave a comment

**North Korea and China Pledge to Deepen Ties and Resist Hegemonism**

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — The foreign ministers of North Korea and China recently agreed to strengthen their bilateral relationship and jointly resist hegemonism and unilateralism, signaling a continued pushback against the United States.

The meeting took place in Beijing on Sunday, roughly three weeks after North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and Chinese President Xi Jinping held their first summit in over six years, where they pledged mutual support and enhanced cooperation.

Earlier, Kim and Xi attended a massive military parade in Beijing commemorating the end of World War II. The event also featured other world leaders, including Russian President Vladimir Putin. The joint appearance of Kim, Xi, and Putin—the first of its kind—highlighted a potential three-way unity against the United States. However, it remains unclear how far China is willing to go in such an anti-U.S. partnership.

During the meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui cited Kim Jong Un’s statement that further strengthening ties with China remains an unwavering position for North Korea. Choe expressed intent to deepen and develop friendly relations with China, aligning with the spirit of the Kim-Xi summit, according to the North Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).

Wang emphasized that China is committed to solidifying bilateral ties and stressed the need to boost strategic communications and exchanges. China’s Xinhua News Agency quoted Wang as stating that China opposes all forms of hegemonism and is ready to strengthen cooperation with North Korea in international and regional affairs.

Choe echoed this sentiment by expressing North Korea’s willingness to closely cooperate with China in multilateral affairs, jointly resist unilateralism and power politics, and promote a fairer and more just world order. These remarks are likely referring to both countries’ ongoing confrontations with the United States—China due to strategic competition and North Korea regarding its nuclear weapons program.

KCNA reported that Choe and Wang exchanged views on regional and international affairs and reached a complete consensus on key issues, though further details were not disclosed.

Kim Jong Un’s attendance at the Beijing military parade marked his first participation in a major multilateral event during his 14-year rule. In recent years, North Korea has increasingly focused on expanding cooperation with Russia, reportedly supplying combat troops and ammunition to support Russia’s war in Ukraine.

However, analysts suggest that Kim now sees a pressing need to improve relations with China, North Korea’s largest trading partner and primary aid benefactor, as the war’s end approaches. For its part, China seeks to maintain its influence over North Korea, especially as bilateral ties reportedly cooled in recent years.

Attention is now turning to the composition of the Chinese delegation expected to visit North Korea next month for the 80th founding anniversary of North Korea’s ruling Workers’ Party. North Korea is also expected to mark the occasion with its own military parade, likely showcasing new weapons aimed at the United States and its allies.

UN reimposes sanctions on Iran after nuclear talks collapse

Leave a comment

**UN Reimposes Sanctions on Iran After Nuclear Talks Collapse**
*By Snehil Singh | Sep 28, 2025, 03:05 PM*

The United Nations has reimposed sweeping sanctions on Iran, a decade after they were first lifted. This move follows the collapse of nuclear negotiations between Iran and Western powers. The newly reinstated sanctions prohibit transactions related to Tehran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs and are expected to have a broader impact on Iran’s already struggling economy.

### Diplomatic Efforts and Calls for Dialogue

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has urged Iran to “accept direct talks, held in good faith” and called on UN member states to “immediately” implement the sanctions. Meanwhile, the foreign ministers of Britain, France, and Germany reaffirmed their commitment to pursuing a diplomatic solution aimed at preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. They also urged Tehran to “refrain from any escalatory action.”

### Iran’s Response and Failed Attempts to Delay Sanctions

Although Iran has permitted UN inspectors back into its nuclear sites, President Masoud Pezeshkian rejected a US proposal for a temporary pause in nuclear activity in exchange for handing over the country’s entire stockpile of enriched uranium. An effort by Russia and China to postpone the sanctions implementation until April was unsuccessful.

Germany, along with the UK and France, which spearheaded the sanctions, stated it had “no choice” but to act given Iran’s non-compliance with its international obligations.

### Diplomatic Fallout

Russia has refused to enforce the sanctions, labeling them invalid. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov claimed the sanctions “finally exposed the West’s policy of sabotaging the pursuit of constructive solutions.” In reaction to the renewed sanctions, Iran recalled its ambassadors from the UK, France, and Germany for consultations.

### Economic Impact of the Renewed Sanctions

The reinstated sanctions are already affecting Iran’s economy. According to Iranian engineer Dariush, the exchange rate is soaring and prices are climbing. On Saturday, the US dollar reached a record high of approximately 1.12 million rials on the black market.

Despite these challenges, the Brussels-based think tank International Crisis Group noted that Iran appears dismissive of the sanctions, having already adapted to previous US restrictions.

The situation remains tense as the international community monitors developments closely, hoping for a diplomatic resolution to avoid further escalation.

Keegan Bradley SNAPS at press conference as America spirals at Ryder Cup amid fan chaos

Leave a comment

A bristling Keegan Bradley refused to condemn the appalling abuse hurled at Europe’s stars during a fiery second day of the Ryder Cup.

The tournament took an ugly turn on Saturday when fans and players alike came close to blows on a tense day marked by hostile behavior and crass abuse. On a day when the notorious New Yorkers finally found their voice — for better and definitely for worse — Europe continued to humiliate the Americans on their own turf, taking a historic seven-point lead into the final day at Bethpage Black.

However, the carnage from the infamously rabid New York sports fans that had long been prophesized finally reared its ugly head at the Ryder Cup. Personalized abuse was hurled at the European stars — public enemy No. 1 Rory McIlroy in particular — before the players themselves began lashing out in retaliation. Bethpage almost witnessed a repeat of the renowned caddie spat of Marco Simone on a highly charged, frantic afternoon.

But Keegan Bradley refused to condemn the bedlam, characterizing it as passion from the home supporters.

“I thought the fans were passionate,” he told reporters. “I mean, their home team is getting beat bad. You know, they are passionate fans. I wasn’t at Rome, but I heard a lot of stories that Rome was pretty violent as well.

“But the fans of New York, from what I have seen, have been pretty good. You’re always going to have a few people that cross the line, and that’s unfortunate. I was happy to see our players trying to quiet down some people that were like that.”

Bradley then appeared to suggest that some of the blame lay with his team and their failure to rise to the occasion.

“Part of it our fault,” he added. “We are not playing up to the standards that they want to see, and they are angry, and they should be.”

However, he performed a hasty U-turn when pressed further on the issue, insisting he did not hold his players responsible.

“I did not say that. That’s not what I said,” he defiantly said after being questioned on his comment. “I said the fans are probably upset that their home team is losing. I did not say that.”

He further snapped at a reporter who pointed to players such as Collin Morikawa, who had called for “chaos” from the crowd earlier in the week.

“I don’t appreciate those words that you just said. I know what you’re trying to do,” he bit back. “The Ryder Cup is full of passionate fans. They’re full of passionate players. And that wasn’t right.”

On Friday’s opening day, the New Yorkers’ reputation appeared to be all bark and no bite. But on Saturday, they had sharpened their teeth.

The home supporters not only crossed the line—they barreled over it with their particularly vile insults at McIlroy and his wife, Erica, which led to a series of ejections.

Sources told The Daily Mail that extra security had to be rushed to McIlroy and Shane Lowry’s match against Justin Thomas and Cameron Young shortly after McIlroy refused to continue playing until “they shut up.”

Shane Lowry also snapped at a fan, with the unsavory incident caught on camera. It was unclear what was said to leave the Irishman so angry or if the insult was aimed at him or McIlroy, but he appeared to be held back by his caddie before pointing the fan out to security to have them removed.

However, Europe’s Luke Donald insisted the highly charged atmosphere only fueled his players’ drive.

“Things got tougher out there, and it fired them up even more,” the European captain said. “They were able to get better through those difficult moments out there. That is what makes me most proud as a captain — just their ability to take the punches and come back even stronger.”

“It was loud. It was raucous,” he added. “What I consider crossing the line is personal insults and making sounds when they are trying to hit on their backswings or very close to when they are trying to go into their routines. That did happen a little bit. It’s happened at other Ryder Cups, too.

“It’s something we prepared for, and I can see how well they have dealt with it.”

Around the 12th tee, police told The Daily Mail they were instructed to stay with Bryson DeChambeau’s group due to fears of tension spilling over. Three holes later, tensions indeed boiled over.

The American and World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler were trailing 3-down to Tommy Fleetwood and Justin Rose on the 15th when, for a second straight Ryder Cup, a player and caddie became embroiled in a fiery exchange.

In scenes reminiscent of McIlroy’s greenside row with Patrick Cantlay’s bagman, Joe LaCava, from Rome, Rose appeared unhappy with DeChambeau’s caddie, Greg Bodine, walking onto the green as he lined up a putt. Rose still holed the putt but on the walk to the 16th, Scheffler’s caddie, Ted Scott, and European vice-captain Franco Molinari began arguing, with Fleetwood standing between them.

Fleetwood also appeared to exchange words with DeChambeau on his way off the 15th green.

Free Bitcoin? Here’s the truth about crypto faucets

Leave a comment

Free Bitcoin? That’s the Bait

Crypto faucets promise drips of Bitcoin, Ethereum, or other tokens for clicking ads, solving captchas, or filling out surveys. The pitch is simple: do a task, get a payout, no credit card needed. For rookies, it sounds like a harmless on-ramp. No wire transfers. No charts. Just easy money.

Here’s the truth. Most faucets are gimmicks. Some are outright scams. And the time tax is brutal. That doesn’t make them worthless. Faucets can be a low-stakes sandbox to learn how a wallet works and what a blockchain transaction looks like. If you keep your guard up, they’re training wheels and nothing more.

And if you claim anything, you’ll still need a safe place to stash it. That’s where a one-stop app like Best Wallet earns its keep. It supports Bitcoin, Ethereum, and testnet tokens, flags sketchy links before you click, and keeps tiny balances from vanishing in the shuffle.

What Is A Crypto Faucet?

Think of a faucet like a digital water dispenser. Instead of H2O, you get drops of crypto. Crypto faucets are websites or platforms that give away free tokens or coins using only an address, explained Eugene Ryan, founder of Generative Space. It’s one way of learning how to use crypto with little to no risk.

It is also sometimes used by testnets of blockchains to test transactions between wallets.

The origin story is legendary. Back in 2010, Bitcoin pioneer Gavin Andresen launched a faucet that handed out coins worth pennies. Today, those coins are worth a fortune.

“There used to be faucets that gave five Bitcoin to every solved captcha,” recalled Arjun Vijay of Giottus Technologies. Later, when projects like Ethereum came up, faucets were used to distribute testnet ETH for developers.

That gold rush ended years ago. Payouts shrank. Hype didn’t. “They’re like a digital water dispenser that gives out tiny fractions of a cent in crypto,” said Prashant Tiwari, founder of vhindi.com.

The bombastic claims of easy money often hide the real cost: people spend hours on them only to earn less than a dollar.

Faucets still matter for builders. Testnet faucets such as Goerli are essential for shipping code without spending real money. For regular users, they’re a demo booth, not a paycheck.

The Problems With Crypto Faucets

Short answer: they’re risky, annoying, and rarely worth the clock time.

  • Extremely low payouts. You’re earning fractions of a cent.
  • High withdrawal limits. Many sites force you to collect for days before you can cash out.
  • Ads, spam, and pop-ups. The clutter is nonstop.
  • High transaction fees. You might spend more in gas than you’ll ever claim.
  • Security risks. Malware, phishing links, and shady in-house wallets that hold your coins.
  • Scams and non-payments. Faucet sites disappear or never pay.

“Faucet sites get hacked, or in many cases just up and disappear,” said Steve Morris, CEO of Newmedia.com. “I’ve seen people lose everything from a few Satoshi to five figures when the faucet site or wallet system just went dark with no warning.”

Tiwari put it bluntly: “Safety is a big concern. The real risk comes from the company they keep, the shady ads, phishing scams, and malware they often expose you to.”

Ryan’s advice is even simpler: Only use a newly created wallet and never share any password or personal information on these websites. If any platform feels shady, proceed with caution or don’t access it at all.

That’s why a beginner-friendly wallet like Best Wallet makes sense here. It filters out suspicious sites, translates approvals into plain English, and keeps faucet payouts visible in your portfolio so you don’t lose track.

Where To Find Crypto Faucets And How They Work

Faucets used to hand out real Bitcoin. Now most legitimate ones are testnet-based. Ethereum’s Goerli faucet, for example, hands out valueless ETH so devs can simulate transactions without spending money.

For a casual user chasing free Bitcoin, a faucet is just an app demo. Here’s how the workflow looks:

  1. Sign up at a faucet site
  2. Provide your Best Wallet address (instant setup, low-fee transfers)
  3. Complete a captcha or task
  4. Receive funds directly into your wallet

Best Wallet makes this flow easier by generating addresses in seconds, storing them securely, and routing tokens straight into your account. No in-house wallet, no lockups, no waiting for withdrawals.

Reputable aggregators like CoinMarketCap maintain faucet lists. But even then, proceed with caution. If you can’t verify on-chain payouts or a site asks for personal details, walk away.

How To Claim And Store Faucet Rewards

If a friend asked how to dabble without getting torched, the checklist would start here:

  • Pick carefully. Best crypto faucet listicles are breadcrumbs, not gospel. Look for payout transparency and verifiable hashes.
  • Expect crumbs. The value is in the lesson, not the earnings. You’ll learn how addresses, fees, and block explorers work.
  • Avoid faucet custody. As Morris warned, these sites can disappear overnight.
  • Use a burner wallet. Never type your seed phrase into a faucet. Never sign approvals you don’t understand.
  • Sweep to safety. Always move balances into a wallet you control. This is where Best Wallet shines. Create a labeled sub-wallet like Faucet-Burner, sweep claims there, and keep tokens separate from savings.

The app’s scam filter flags risky approvals, the token scanner helps track dust amounts, and the watchlist ensures nothing slips into oblivion.

Are Crypto Faucets Worth Your Time?

Only if you treat them like practice. Faucets teach muscle memory: how to copy an address without error, confirm a network fee, or follow a transaction from pending to confirmed. That’s valuable training.

As a money strategy, they flop. Rewards are microscopic, the time sink is real, and the security risk is constant.

If you still want to try them, use a fresh burner wallet for claims, withdraw immediately, and stash anything you keep in Best Wallet.

Download Best Wallet to protect funds, organize sub-wallets, and lean on the built-in scam filter before signing any approvals.

FAQ: Crypto Faucets

Are faucet rewards taxable?

Yes. Even tiny payouts count as income in most jurisdictions. Keep records.

What networks have the cheapest faucet payouts?

Polygon, Solana, and other low-fee chains are popular for testnet faucets.

Can I use faucets from my country/state?

It depends. Some faucets block IPs from certain regions. Always check terms.

Quick Guide: How to Use Crypto Faucets with Best Wallet

  1. Get Best Wallet
    Download the Best Wallet app from the App Store or Google Play. It’s your safe hub for faucet drips and real holdings.
  2. Copy your wallet address
    Open Best Wallet, pick the right network (Polygon or Solana for lower fees), and copy your receiving address.
  3. Find a trusted faucet
    Choose a reputable site, paste in your Best Wallet address, and claim the free reward. Skip anything that asks for passwords or personal details.
  4. Receive funds instantly
    The faucet payout goes straight to your Best Wallet—no waiting, no shady in-house balances.
  5. Swap or manage rewards
    Use Best Wallet’s built-in swap and portfolio tools to convert, track, or bridge tiny faucet tokens into the crypto you actually want.

Bottom Line

Crypto faucets dangle free Bitcoin, but the real product is a tutorial. You’ll get a handful of satoshis or a splash of ETH and a crash course in wallet hygiene.

Used smartly, they’re a safe way to practice. Used blindly, they’re a funnel into scams, spam, and vanishing balances.

Keep your expectations low. Keep your security high. Claim with a burner, sweep to a wallet you control, and never trust a faucet to hold your coins.

When you’re ready to move beyond drips, make Best Wallet your hub. It cuts through the noise so you can focus on building the right habits—and keeping what’s yours.

Meet Lisa Monaco, Microsoft executive Trump wants to see fired

**Meet Lisa Monaco, Microsoft Executive Trump Wants Fired**

*By Dwaipayan Roy | Sep 27, 2025, 11:36 AM*

**What’s the Story?**

US President Donald Trump has called on Microsoft to fire its head of global affairs, Lisa Monaco. Trump accused Monaco of being a “menace” to national security and linked his demand to ongoing legal cases against him.

Lisa Monaco was appointed as Microsoft’s head of global affairs in June 2025. Prior to this role, she served prominently in the Barack Obama and Joe Biden administrations.

**Accusations: ‘Corrupt and Totally Trump Deranged’**

In a post on Truth Social, Trump described Monaco as “corrupt and totally Trump deranged.” He argued that her previous government roles posed national security risks due to Microsoft’s extensive contracts with US government agencies.

Furthermore, Trump alleged that Monaco’s past actions led to the US government stripping her of all security clearances and access to national security intelligence.

**Background: A Look at Lisa Monaco**

Lisa Monaco has a notable career in public service. She served as Deputy Attorney General under President Biden and was a national security advisor during the Obama administration. She also played a key role in coordinating the Justice Department’s response to the January 6 Capitol attack.

Trump’s demand for her dismissal is consistent with his history of targeting perceived political opponents since returning to office in January 2025. His previous pressure campaigns include demanding the resignation of Intel’s CEO and influencing Disney’s ABC regarding Jimmy Kimmel’s show.

**Ongoing Scrutiny: Microsoft’s Contracts Under Review**

Lisa Monaco’s LinkedIn profile confirms her current position at Microsoft. However, as of now, there is no public indication that Microsoft will respond to Trump’s demand for her removal.

Microsoft itself is under intense scrutiny due to its contracts with US government agencies. The company recently made headlines for restricting certain cloud services to a unit of the Israeli military following concerns about alleged surveillance practices.

Meanwhile, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella recently attended a White House dinner featuring Trump and other leading figures in the tech industry, highlighting the complex relationship between tech companies and government officials.

Egypt Warns Against Nuclear Disarmament Stalemate, Condemns Israeli Threats Of Using Nukes In Gaza

Leave a comment

**Egypt Warns of Nuclear Disarmament Stalemate and Condemns Israeli Actions in Gaza**

Cairo: Egypt has issued a warning regarding the ongoing stalemate in achieving nuclear disarmament and highlighted the grave implications of recent irresponsible Israeli statements suggesting the possible use of nuclear weapons in the Gaza Strip.

Badr Abdelatty, Egypt’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Emigration and Egyptian Expatriates, strongly condemned Israel’s systematic starvation policies and forced displacement of the Palestinian people. He described these actions as unprecedented violations of international law and international humanitarian law.

His remarks were made during his participation in the High-level Meeting to Commemorate and Promote the International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons, held on the sidelines of the 80th session of the UN General Assembly (UNGA 80).

The minister reaffirmed Egypt’s commitment to achieving the universality of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), especially in the Middle East. He emphasized that universal adoption of the NPT is the only guarantee to protect the peoples of the region from the dangers posed by nuclear weapons.

Abdelatty highlighted the significance of the 1995 Review and Extension Conference’s resolution on establishing a Middle East zone free of nuclear weapons. He noted that this resolution is an integral part of the agreement that enabled the indefinite extension of the Treaty.

Furthermore, he underlined the importance of observing the International Day for the Total Elimination of Nuclear Weapons to draw attention to the threats nuclear weapons pose to global peace and security. Abdelatty reiterated Egypt’s full support for the statements made by the Non-Aligned Movement, the African Group, and the Arab Group, all of which call for the elimination of nuclear threats.

The minister emphasized that nuclear-weapon states bear both a moral and legal responsibility, under the NPT, to dismantle their nuclear arsenals in a verifiable and irreversible manner. He stressed the urgent need for concrete steps towards nuclear disarmament to pave the way for the success of the upcoming 11th NPT Review Conference, particularly as 15 years have passed since the last conference adopted a final document.
