This comes as the US president took credit for brokering the ceasefire that ended the 12-day conflict between Iran and Israel last month, according to The Mirror report. Which led Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to praise Trump, saying that the US president was "forging peace as we speak, and one country and one region after the other," as quoted in the report.

However, critics immediately mocked Leavitt's suggestion as "absolutely comical" and "delusional and absurd," according to the report.
Conservative journalist Cassandra Fairbanks responded, saying, "Its absolutely comical to suggest he deserves a peace prize after bombing another nation and making us pay for the massacre Israel is undertaking," as quoted by The Mirror.
While, conservative attorney and commentator Sean Ross Callaghan also reacted, saying, "Honey, I voted for him more times than you probably did-and this is delusional and absurd," as quoted in the report.

Even other X users commented on her post, one joked, saying, "Sure, give him the Nobel. Maybe next to Netanyahu for all that peace they've brought to the Middle East. The irony is almost poetic," as per the X post.
One user wrote, "At this point, just give it to him so Trump and his team of cult followers will shut up about it," as quoted in the X post.
Another X user commented, "Trump and Netanyahu should get one together. Should help with fully discrediting this so-called institution, another step in draining the swamp. Thank you President Trump!," as per the X post.
While, one more comment said, "Trump wants a Nobel Peace Prize for conflicts he never ended, solutions he never delivered, and lies he keeps repeating. He claimed he could stop the war in Ukraine—he didn't. He claimed he brought peace between Israel and Palestine—he didn't. He even took credit for resolving tensions between India and Pakistan—India flat-out said he had nothing to do with it. Trump's self-flattery isn't diplomacy. It's delusion. The Nobel is for real peace, not PR stunts and fantasy press releases," as per the social media post.

1 dead, 200 arrested in US farm raid as judge orders halt to aggressive measures
A California farm worker died on Friday after US immigration agents raided a cannabis nursery farm and arrested hundreds of workers as a federal judge ordered a temporary pause on the aggressive measures being followed to identify undocumented immigrants. The operation was launched by the federal agents on Thursday in rural Southern California where the administration faced dozens of migrants rights activists creating hindrance in the immigration agents' job. The raids in Southern California are being seen as the latest escalation in US President Donald Trump's campaign for mass deportation of immigrants residing illegally in the United States. Temporary halting the aggressive tactics being followed by the Trump administration against immigrants, a California judge on Friday blocked the federal government from racially profiling the migrants as it seeks denying immigrants' right to access to lawyers during their detention. The Trump administration has shown a conflicting stance over whether immigration agents will target the farm labour workforce, about half of which is not authorized to work in the United States, as per the government estimates, Reuters reported. Here's some breaking news: 10 juveniles were found at this marijuana facility – all illegal aliens, 8 of them unaccompanied. It's now under investigation for child labor violations. This is Newsom's California. — CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott (@CBPCommissioner) July 11, 2025 Two locations were targeted during the cannabis operation Glass House Farms and about 200 people who were residing in America illegally were arrested in the raid, the Department of Homeland Security said. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott, in a post on X, stated that the facility where agents conducted raids is also under child labour violations as agents found about 10 minor migrants at the farm. As per the photos and videos available from the scene, the raid conducted by the federal agents in Southern California was chaotic with agents wearing helmets and face masks, while using smoke gas and canisters on angry protesters. A Reuters report stated that the worker who died was identified as Jaime Alanis on a verified GoFundMe page created by his family.

KMC razes illegal stalls, reclaims govt plot on Anwar Shah Road
1 2 3 4 Kolkata: The KMC on Saturday deployed earth movers to pull down shops and other structures that encroached on a govt plot on Prince Anwar Shah Road near Lord's crossing. The plot, owned by the state information and cultural affairs department at 355, Prince Anwar Shah Road, does not have a boundary wall, allowing encroachers a free run. According to a KMC official, the drive was planned at the civic headquarters and was kept a secret to prevent the news from reaching the encroachers so that they did not get a chance to put up resistance. "We planned to conduct the drive with police without informing the encroachers about it, as that would have led to a ruckus and our work would have been hampered. Last time, the drive to oust encroachers from the state-owned plot was met with resistance. So, we decided on this surprise drive," said a senior KMC official. A KMC solid waste management official said the civic team was mobilised at the Lord's crossing around 1 pm for the demolition. The presence of a large posse of policemen helped civic officials continue with the drive unhindered. "When we left, it was late evening. By then, we had demolished 48 stalls to free up the govt land," said a civic official, adding it was a 30-cottah plot. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like So sánh mức trượt giá: Hợp đồng tương lai (CFD) Bitcoin vs Ethereum IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo You Can Also Check: Kolkata AQI | Weather in Kolkata | Bank Holidays in Kolkata | Public Holidays in Kolkata According to a KMC official, the civic body will need to barricade the land now and keep a watch on it. Back in June 2024, chief minister Mamata Banerjee had mentioned the encroachment on the Prince Anwar Shah plot while speaking about govt properties and public spaces being taken over illegally. There was an attempt to free the land in 2018, but it was unsuccessful, she had said. Within hours of Banerjee's announcement last year, a police team had visited the plot and collected the names, addresses and phone numbers of the stall owners there. A KMC official had said they were demarcating a 7.5-cottah plot, while owners of the unauthorised structures on the land claimed it was 29-cottah. Now that the illegal structures have been pulled down, the KMC will calculate the exact area and build a wall around it. Stalls selling food, vegetables and lottery tickets and a Trinamool office were among those that occupied the plot, said an official.

MP launches initiative to nurture startups
1 2 Mangaluru: Dakshina Kannada MP Capt Brijesh Chowta on Saturday launched 'Bolpu – A Dawn of Opportunities', a flagship initiative aimed at nurturing startups, empowering budding entrepreneurs, and accelerating early-stage ventures in the region. The initiative is designed to offer a comprehensive support ecosystem, including funding, mentorship, market access, and continuous advisory on govt schemes to help founders build, launch, and scale innovative businesses rooted in local strengths but with national and global potential. Ten promising enterprises will be shortlisted each year. Through eight-week sprints, startups will receive expert guidance to ideate, build, test, and launch. Aligned with PM Narendra Modi's vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat and Viksit Bharat by 2047, Capt Chowta said the initiative draws inspiration from his election manifesto task sheet titled 'Nava Yuga Nava Patha', aimed at reigniting the spirit of entrepreneurship in coastal Karnataka. "After returning from the Army, I wanted to contribute to India's transformative journey. Many second-generation entrepreneurs in this region end up in tech jobs in Bengaluru and metros due to lack of support here. Bolpu hopes to change that," he said. The MP stressed that Bolpu will lay special focus on women entrepreneurs and aims to create at least 50 success stories in the next five years. "At a time when Mangaluru is often in the headlines for the wrong reasons, we need to present models of success that reflect our true potential," he said. 92% Mangalureans open to returning home: MP About 92% of Mangalureans working outside the region and around the globe expressed a strong desire to return home and work in the region if suitable opportunities are available, Chowta said, citing findings from the recent 'Come Home Tiger' survey conducted by Rohith Bhat, founder of TiE Mangaluru, as part of the Silicon Beach programme. The survey aimed to gauge interest among professionals from the region who are currently employed outside the region in relocating back to their hometowns. Johnson Tellis, Co-founder and CEO of Inunity, said, "When companies are built and nurtured by the people of Mangaluru, they carry with them a deep-rooted sense of responsibility to give back. The initiative to support at least 10 ideas or ventures every year is not just about startups, but about leadership. Each of those ventures represents a seed of leadership that will shape future cohorts." He said that the focus is on bringing together key entities: ecosystem enablers, thought leaders who reshape business thinking, and the globally spread Mangaluru diaspora.
