President Donald Trump has posted a fake video on social media showing him wearing a crown and flying a jet labeled “King Trump” that dumps brown liquid on protesters.
The short video, shared on Trump’s Truth Social account late Saturday, was posted on the same day that protesters participated in a daylong mass demonstration, known as “No Kings,” against the Trump administration. The protests took place in cities and towns across all 50 states, with participants holding signs such as “I Pledge Allegiance to No King” and chanting slogans accusing the president of acting in authoritarian ways.
Set to the song “Danger Zone” by Kenny Loggins, the video depicts the plane dropping a brown liquid resembling feces onto the heads of protesters gathered in a city.
On the same day, the White House posted an artificial intelligence-generated image on social media showing Trump and Vice President JD Vance wearing crowns. The post included a simple message: “Have a good night, everyone,” accompanied by a crown emoji.
Trump frequently reposts AI-generated or manipulated imagery on his Truth Social account. Last month, for example, he shared a meme of Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), the House minority leader, depicting Jeffries with a fake mustache and sombrero, set to mariachi music. Jeffries, who is Black, condemned the video as racist and bigoted.
The No Kings protests followed a massive demonstration in June, when an estimated 5 million people participated across some 2,000 protests nationwide. Saturday’s event was organized by national and local groups, along with well-known progressive coalitions such as Indivisible, 50501, and MoveOn.
Republican leaders criticized the protests, blaming them for prolonging the government shutdown and labeling the event a “hate America rally.”
When asked about the demonstrations, Abigail Jackson, a White House spokesperson, responded briefly via email: “Who cares?”
In an upcoming interview with Fox News set to air Sunday, Trump addressed the protesters, saying, “They’re referring to me as a king. I’m not a king.”

Patrick Mahomes made a memorable State Farm joke following the Kansas City Chiefs’ dominant 31-0 shutout win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday afternoon.
Going into the game, the Chiefs held a 3-3 record. After a rough start to the season with an 0-2 record, they regained momentum by winning three of their last four games. Hosting the Week 7 matchup, the Chiefs aimed to defend their homefield advantage and keep their winning streak alive in front of their fans.
For Mahomes, the game offered a chance to have some fun against the Raiders’ defense. During a crucial fourth-down play, Mahomes made an explicit statement before snapping the ball, eventually completing the play to convert for a first down. “This fu***** never fu***** works,” he said at the time.
Reflecting on the moment, Mahomes credited his comedic timing to his work with State Farm. “I think it comes from all my State Farm commercials,” he remarked, highlighting the connection between his on-field antics and his advertising experience.
### How Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs Played Against the Raiders
It is in character for Patrick Mahomes to make bold statements like that. Using State Farm, a brand he regularly features in commercials, added a humorous twist to his expression on the field.
Meanwhile, the Chiefs dominated the Raiders from start to finish, improving their record to 4-3. They took a commanding 21-0 lead by halftime and never looked back, putting consistent pressure on the Raiders throughout the game.
Mahomes continued to shine as one of the NFL’s best quarterbacks. He completed 26 of 35 passes for 286 yards and three touchdowns and added four rushes for 28 yards. His versatility and leadership were key factors in the Chiefs’ success.
On the ground, Isiah Pacheco had a productive outing, carrying the ball 15 times for 57 yards and scoring a touchdown. The Chiefs’ receiving corps also performed well, with five players making three or more catches during the contest.
Tight end Travis Kelce caught three passes for 54 yards, while wide receiver Rashee Rice impressed in his season debut with seven catches for 42 yards and two touchdowns. Brashard Smith added five receptions for 42 yards, and both JuJu Smith-Schuster and Xavier Worthy contributed three catches for 35 yards each.
### Looking Ahead
The Chiefs now look forward to their next matchup, remaining at home as they prepare to host the Washington Commanders on October 27 at 8:15 p.m. ET. With their momentum building, Kansas City will aim to continue their strong performance and climb further in the standings.

The foreign arrivals who pose the most danger to the UK are not those shivering on unseaworthy rubber dinghies crossing the English Channel. Instead, they are flying in by private jet.
This was the statement made by Zack Polanski, the new darling of the British left, immediately after winning the leadership of the country’s Green Party with a crushing 84% last month.

La cantante neoyorquina Jennifer Lopez reveló las diferencias que tuvo con la producción del halftime del Super Bowl 2020, cuando encabezó el show de medio tiempo junto con la estrella colombiana Shakira en el Hard Rock Stadium de Miami.
JLo ya había manifestado su descontento por tener que compartir el show, ya que consideró que 15 minutos para dos artistas era insuficiente. Durante su participación en el programa Howard Stern Show, Jennifer Lopez habló sin tapujos sobre su inconformidad con la manera en que la producción decidió hacer un show de medio tiempo con dos artistas.
La cantante y productora aseguró que cuando le propusieron hacer el show en conjunto, cuestionó por qué pensaron que un artista latino no podría encabezar el evento en solitario. “Para mí siempre fue un sueño hacerlo [el medio tiempo del Super Bowl], como mis ídolos, como Madonna, Diana Ross o Prince. Cuando me dijeron que lo iba a hacer con Shakira o Gloria Estefan, pensé: ‘¿Tú crees que un único artista latino no puede hacerlo solo?’. Ese fue el problema”, declaró la artista.
Jennifer Lopez aclaró que no tuvo ningún problema en protagonizar este show junto con Shakira e incluso afirmó que está orgullosa del resultado. Sin embargo, considera que tanto ella como la colombiana merecían tener su momento de protagonismo en solitario durante el halftime. “Shakira también se merecía su momento. Y yo quería el mío, la oportunidad de hacer lo que siempre soñé”, agregó.
A pesar de su desacuerdo con la decisión de la producción de hacer un show conjunto, Jennifer Lopez se siente orgullosa de haber participado en este evento junto con su colega Shakira. “Fue absolutamente perfecto y estoy muy orgullosa de esa Super Bowl y de haber compartido ese escenario con Shakira, porque representamos algo que en ese momento era importante. Dos mujeres, madres, latinas, que defienden el trabajo duro. Estaban pasando muchas cosas y fuimos capaces de traer luz”, concluyó.
Esta no es la primera vez que Jennifer Lopez expresa su insatisfacción sobre su participación en el Super Bowl 2020. Hace dos años, la artista habló sobre el hecho de que 12 minutos para que dos artistas ofrezcan un show es insuficiente y lo calificó como “la peor idea del mundo”. “Tenemos seis minutos: 30 segundos de una canción y, si nos tomamos un minuto, eso es todo, nos quedan cinco. Tenemos que tener nuestro momento. No va a ser una maldita revista de baile (…) Que dos personas actúen en el Super Bowl es la peor idea del mundo y lo fue”, afirmó entonces.
Otros artistas latinos como Gloria Estefan, Shakira y Jennifer Lopez se han presentado en el show de medio tiempo del Super Bowl. Ahora, el cantante puertorriqueño Bad Bunny será el primer artista latino en encabezar en solitario este evento.
Bad Bunny protagonizará el halftime del Super Bowl el 6 de febrero de 2026.

**Telugu Romantic Drama *Telusu Kada* Completes Opening Weekend with Slow Box Office Performance**
The Telugu romantic drama *Telusu Kada* was released on October 17, 2025. Yesterday, October 19, marked the end of its opening weekend. Written and directed by Neeraja Kona, the film was produced by T. G. Vishwa Prasad and Vivek Kuchibhotla under the banner of People Media Factory.
The storyline revolves around a couple, Anjali and Varun. When Anjali realizes that she cannot give birth, she decides to opt for surrogacy. The film then explores Varun’s reaction to this decision. The movie features a talented cast including Siddhu Jonnalagadda, Raashii Khanna, and Srinidhi Shetty.
### Box Office Performance on Day 3
The first two days since the release saw a slow response at the box office. By the end of Day 2, *Telusu Kada* had earned approximately Rs. 4.10 crore.
However, on Day 3, the film earned an estimated Rs. 1.75 crore, bringing the total revenue over the opening weekend to around Rs. 5.69 crore, according to early estimates reported by Sacnilk.
As per the same report, the film recorded a total Telugu occupancy of 24.55% on Day 3, showing a decline from 28.15% on Day 2.
### More About *Telusu Kada*
Despite having a star-studded cast and a promising premise, *Telusu Kada* seems to be struggling at the box office. The romantic drama, penned and directed by Neeraja Kona and produced by T. G. Vishwa Prasad and Vivek Kuchibhotla under People Media Factory, received a lukewarm response from the audience during its opening weekend.
One of the major reasons for this slow start is attributed to the critical reviews and word-of-mouth feedback. Expectations were high for a bold, urban, and modern film, but many viewers felt these were not met.
While the film is praised for its strong premise, critics and audiences alike pointed out weak execution as a major flaw. Moreover, the movie appears to have struggled to connect with the broader Telugu audience.

With its opening weekend behind it, *Telusu Kada* will need strong word of mouth and positive reviews to turn the tide and improve its performance in the coming weeks.

**Body Found in Germantown Linked to Missing Philadelphia Woman Kada Scott**
*Philadelphia, Pennsylvania* — Law enforcement sources have confirmed to Action News that initial DNA testing suggests the body found Saturday behind a vacant school near Awbury Arboretum in Germantown is connected to the parents of missing woman Kada Scott. This area was the focus of an intensive search conducted on Wednesday.
First Deputy Commissioner John Stanford detailed that a “very specific” anonymous tip was received overnight, prompting officers to return to the scene around 10 a.m. Sources also revealed that surveillance video evidence related to the case was obtained from a nearby Recreation Center.
The remains, which appeared to be those of a female according to Stanford, were discovered in a shallow grave within a heavily wooded area. They were removed from the site by late afternoon and are now in the custody of the medical examiner’s office, which will oversee the identification process.
Stanford stated that investigators have been in contact with Scott’s family throughout the process. “We have been in communication with her family as to this process and in the fact that we have recovered a human being,” he said.
Authorities are urging the public to continue providing any information related to the case by calling 215-686-TIPS (8477).

**Evidence Found During Search**
During Wednesday’s search, police recovered physical evidence including Scott’s debit card and a phone case. Tips dramatically increased following the announcement of the arrest of 21-year-old Keon King from Southwest Philadelphia, who authorities say was the last person known to be in contact with Scott.
King has been arrested and charged with kidnapping and additional offenses connected to Scott’s disappearance.
—
**Details of the Case**
Police are still investigating how King and Scott knew each other but believe they came into contact in the days preceding her disappearance. Before going missing, Scott reportedly told people she was being harassed, although it remains unclear if King was involved in the alleged harassment.
Scott vanished the night of Saturday, October 4, after leaving her workplace—an assisted living facility in Chestnut Hill. King is currently held on $2.5 million bail.
—
**Related Charges and Previous Case**
King also faces charges in a similar case from earlier this year, involving a woman who was allegedly kidnapped and strangled but survived. These charges were initially dropped when the accuser failed to appear in court but will now be refiled, according to the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office.
In that earlier case, prosecutors say King kidnapped a woman from in front of her home, forced her into a car, assaulted her, and then released her. The incident was partially captured in a viral video showing King peering into and knocking on windows while a person inside yelled for him to leave and for someone to call the police.
District Attorney Larry Krasner addressed the case during a Friday news conference, acknowledging his office could have handled it better. “A really sophisticated approach to the case would have been to try to put it all in with video evidence,” he said.
Krasner explained that King being out on bail was a factor in the victim’s reluctance to appear in court. “The reason they had to worry he was going to come out of the same door they went in the courthouse right after they testified against him is because he was on bail,” Krasner said.
King was initially able to post 10% of $200,000 bail in his first kidnapping arrest. When asked why the DA’s office did not request a higher bail, Krasner described it as a strategic decision.
“You have the option of trying to do what is often a midnight or three o’clock in the morning telephonic appeal to a municipal court judge,” he explained. “The unfortunate reality of this is that some, but not all of these judges, don’t want you calling them in the middle of the night. And if you do, they lower the bail. They don’t raise it, they don’t leave it. They lower it. So it is always a complex, strategic decision.”
Marty O’Rourke, a spokesperson for the courts, provided a response to these comments.

**Opal Kristal: Permata Langka dengan Permainan Warna Memukau**
Opal kristal adalah jenis opal mahal yang dikenal karena visibilitasnya yang tinggi dan permainan warnanya yang cerdas. Keistimewaan opal ini terletak pada tampilannya yang tembus cahaya, sehingga mampu memperlihatkan warna internal dengan sangat indah. Permata ini sangat halus dan biasanya mengandung banyak air, yang menjadikannya unik dibanding opal lainnya.
Proses pemurnian cabochon pada opal kristal menghasilkan warna-warna pelangi yang lebih memukau dan hidup. Sementara itu, opal api — jenis opal yang sangat disukai — merupakan hasil dari kepadatan geologis yang langka. Meskipun silika sebagai mineral mudah ditemukan, proses alami yang memungkinkan terbentuknya batu dengan permainan warna seperti ini sangat jarang terjadi.

**Sejarah dan Klaim Wilayah Terkait Opal**
Pada tahun 1713, setelah Pertempuran Seri Bahasa Asing, sejumlah perjanjian penting ditandatangani, yang dikenal sebagai Perjanjian Baru Utrecht. Dalam perjanjian tersebut, Spanyol memperoleh akses ke aset di Amerika sebelum tahun 1700, sementara Inggris mendapatkan Gibraltar dan Menorca. Spanyol meyakini bahwa mereka memiliki hak tunggal atas wilayah dan perairan yang dikuasainya, termasuk klaim eksklusif atas perairan Amerika Selatan. Ini menjadi landasan awal pertikaian wilayah terkait sumber daya alam dan opal yang ditemukan di berbagai wilayah.

**Memilih Opal Api sebagai Perhiasan**
Opal api adalah pilihan ideal untuk perhiasan karena warnanya yang bercahaya cerah dan kemampuannya menangkap cahaya dengan indah. Perhiasan opal api sering dipadukan dengan aksesori lain yang mampu menonjolkan nuansa warna yang memikat.
Salah satu alternatif menarik adalah hyalite, bentuk opal yang terkenal dengan tampilannya yang bening seperti kaca. Hyalite dikenal karena mampu bersinar dengan warna hijau cerah di bawah sinar UV putih, menjadikannya pilihan unik untuk perhiasan.
Anting-opal api asal Meksiko juga populer dan dapat dipadukan dengan batu berwarna cerah lainnya untuk menciptakan tampilan yang segar dan berbeda. Selain keindahannya, opal api Meksiko dianggap memiliki manfaat, seperti meningkatkan keharmonisan dalam pernikahan dan kreativitas pemakainya.

**Opal Api dan Budaya Meksiko**
Sejarah penggunaan opal api di Meksiko cukup panjang. Sejak tahun 850 Masehi, suku Aztec menggunakan permata ini untuk membuat mosaik, meningkatkan kekuatan ritual spiritual, serta menghiasi para tokoh penting dengan aksesori opal api. Ini menunjukkan betapa berharganya opal api dalam budaya dan tradisi masyarakat pra-Kolumbus.
