Shocking Timing: Iran Schedules Khamenei's Funeral on July 4th

Bring the fireworks! Iran has finally scheduled state funeral proceedings for slain Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei to begin on July 4 — the same day the US throws its 250th birthday bash.The ayatollah was assassinated on Feb. 28, when the US and Israel slammed his Tehran compound with airstrike launching the Iran war. But the Islamic Republic dragged its feet on holding farewell ceremonies for more than three months since his death out of fear of being attacked again. So long Khamenei! The funeral for the late supreme leader will begin on the Fourth of July in Tehran. KHAMENEI.IR/AFP via Getty ImagesNow, with a peace deal expected to be signed in the next 24 hours, Iranian state media has announced details of the burial for the 86-year-old cleric.Three days of funeral ceremonies will be held in the capital Tehran starting on July 4, at the prayer hall of Imam Khomenei — the founder of the Islamic Republic — before a funeral procession will leave on July 6. Then on July 7, another funeral ceremony will be held in the holy city of ⁠Qom, south of Tehran.The proceedings will conclude with a burial in Khamenei’s hometown, the northeastern holy city of Mashhad, ‌on July 9.Khamenei, who was the leader of the Islamic Republic for 36 years, will be buried at the shrine of Imam Reza, a holy place for Shiite Muslims.Funerals for his daughter and son-in-law, who were also killed in the deadly Feb. 28 strike, will be held on the same day.The late supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was at the helm of the Islamic Republic for 36 years. REUTERSDespite Islamic law requiring the dead be buried within 24 hours ideally, the Islamic Republic is believed to have avoided Khamenei’s funeral for so long for fear of potential airstrikes, nationalist counter-rallies similar to the nationwide uprisings earlier this year, and the regime’s need to explain the absence of his son Mojtaba Khamenei.The younger Khamenei’s son was severely disfigured in the strikes that killed his father and has not been seen in public since his appointment. It is unclear whether he’ll be attending the ceremonies.The start of the funeral for Khamenei will coincide with the 4th of July.

North West Stuns at Her First Solo Music Festival: What Happened?

North West rocked the crowd at Lyrical Lemonade’s Summer Smash 2026 music festival in her first solo music festival performance. Videos shared on Instagram Friday — which were reshared by proud parents Kim Kardashian and Kanye West — showed the 12-year-old performing like a pro as the crowd sang along to her songs. She wore a long blue wig, which she styled in a half-up, half-down look with two pony tails, a black balenciaga top and matching skirt, black sneaker boots, and a pair of oversized black shades for the performance. In one post, the SKIMS founder, 45, showed a photo of two backstage passes with North’s face and name across the front.

In October 2025, she came to North’s defense when she shut down critics of North’s fashion choices.In a clip reshared to Kardashian’s stories, North is seen running out onto the stage where she’s met with cheers from fans.

Shocking Verdict: Was Race the Unseen Hand in the Karmelo Anthony Case? New

Shocking Verdict: Was Race the Unseen Hand in the Karmelo Anthony Case?

House Democrats are raising concerns about how race and jury selection may have impacted the guilty verdict in the Karmelo Anthony case, with several arguing the verdict highlights the racism they believe exists in the criminal justice system.“A travesty, two lives ruined, and what struck me most is that you had an all-White jury,” Rep. Christian Menefee, D-Texas, said when asked his thoughts on the guilty verdict. “You had preemptive strikes that were used in order to achieve an all-White jury.”After Anthony was sentenced to 35 years in prison on Tuesday for the stabbing and killing of 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a high school track event, many activists and Democratic lawmakers have claimed the trial to be unfair and racist. Many are claiming the jurors were all White, and that this contributed to the rejection of Anthony’s self-defense claim.“Juries should represent the diversity of this country, and if a White kid was convicted of murder and it was an all-Black jury that did the conviction, people would say this is patently unfair,” Menefee said. Karmelo Anthony has been transferred to the Pack Unit in Navasota by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Texas Dept. of Criminal JusticeRep.

Troy Carter, D-La., speaks during the Congressional Black Caucus news conference in the US Capitol on the Supreme Court ruling in Louisiana v. Callais on April 29, 2026. Bill Clark/CQ-Roll Call/Sipa USA via Reuters Connect“So why should it be fair if it’s the other way around?”But sources close to the trial told Fox News Digital that there were three jurors who were racial minorities. They said that of the 18 total jurors, including alternates, six were minorities. Additionally, four Black men testified in defense of Metcalf, saying Anthony was not provoked in any way to justify stabbing the 17-year-old.Supporters of Anthony claim that he stabbed Metcalf as an act of self-defense, arguing he did not receive a fair trial. Some activists and Democratic lawmakers have called for further review of the case and urged Anthony to pursue an appeal.“Here is a case where a young man certainly appears to have been being attacked and defended himself,” Rep. Troy Carter, D-La., said about the case.Austin Metcalf, a junior at Memorial High School in Frisco, was stabbed in the chest by then-17-year-old Karmelo Anthony, a student-athlete from Frisco Centennial High School. Meghan Prall Metcalf/Facebook“It does bring in light the imbalance in our judicial system, as it relates to African Americans and people of color” Carter continued. “And that’s a shame. So hopefully, there’ll be an opportunity for some appeal and some further discussion.”“Case after case, after case you see that if it is a young Black person, they’re not allowed to be fearful, they’re not allowed self-defense, they don’t get the same standard ground opportunities that other people get,” Menefee said. “But then other races do.”Some lawmakers were less likely to directly blame the trial as unfair due to race, but were still sympathetic toward Anthony and were not blatantly opposed to the idea of looking further into the evidence in the case despite a verdict already being made.An Austin Metcalf supporter holds a sign in front of the Collin County courthouse after the verdict was reached in the Karmelo Anthony trial on June 9, 2026, in McKinney, Texas.

Jonathan Jackson, D-Ill., said. “First of all, they need to reopen it and all the evidence needs to come forward.”“I think it’s an unfortunate circumstance all the way around,” Rep. Shomari Figures, D-Ala., said.He continued, “You have one young man who was killed. His family will never get to be with him again. You have another young man who, for all intents and purposes, thrown a lot of years of his life. A lot of the years of this life. If he does 35 years, he’ll be 50 — in his 50s — when he gets out. And it’s just totally unfortunate.”Throughout their criticism of the verdict, several lawmakers framed the case as part of a larger debate over race, self-defense claims and equal treatment for minorities under the law.“The American justice system does not work equally for everybody,” Menefee said.

Natasha Bure's Bold Response to Critics: Why Her Baby Bump Is Here to Stay New

Natasha Bure's Bold Response to Critics: Why Her Baby Bump Is Here to Stay

Candace Cameron Bure’s pregnant daughter, Natasha Perry (née Bure), will proudly show off her baby bump any time she wants — regardless of the critics. “Raise your hand if you will never understand people being offended by a pregnant belly being out?” Natasha, 27, quipped in a TikTok video shared Friday, June 12, subsequently raising her hand. “Let me just be the first to say: I do not care. I literally don’t care.” Natasha announced last month that she is expecting her first baby with her husband, actor Bradley Steven Perry. As Natasha started sharing maternity pics online, she received an onslaught of questions about her choice to reveal her bare baby bump. “I didn’t know this was a thing until I have received countless DMs from grown women telling me I need to put my belly away, buy a bigger shirt or sending me the lengthiest stories about how when they were pregnant, in their time, they didn’t do that,” Natasha said. “I love my pregnant belly, [and] I have never in my life been so proud of my body, so proud that I’m growing a little baby in there — and this is coming from someone that dealt with body insecurity … my entire life.” She continued, “I love that when I look down, I see my little baby. … I am making up for the first few months of pregnancy when [I was] trying to conceal [my pregnancy] and wearing the ugliest outfits you’ve ever seen. They’re uncomfortable, and now that I have a bump, I’m showing my belly till my baby’s here.” Natasha further stressed that she plans to continue rocking belly-baring outfits “until further notice.” https://www.tiktok.com/@natashaperry/video/7650328205487869215?_r=1&_t=ZT-97A2rd00EhC “One person that might love it more than me, also the only person that I truly care about, is my husband,” she gushed of Bradley, 27. “We were hanging out with friends the other day, and I wore, like, a sweat set [that was] very baggy. He saw me before I left, literally says, ‘I’m so sad I can’t see your pregnant belly. It’s my favorite thing ever.’ You know what? That man is my favorite thing ever.” Natasha further noted that her pregnancy will only last “for so long,” so she wants to savor each moment with a baby bump. “I’m only going to look like this for so long, and God willing so many times, so my belly will be out until further notice,” the actress stated. “If that’s not your cup of tea, we will just see you in a couple months.” Natasha is the eldest child of Full House alum Candace, 50, and her husband, Valeri Bure, who also share sons Lev, 26, and Maksim, 24.

I wanted an avenue outside of Hollywood as a way to connect with people.”Despite having “a constant desire to connect with people,” Faris admitted she “didn’t disclose a lot on the podcast,” but felt like she could if she “needed to.”“It made me think, ‘I know I could be happy if I’m writing because I’ve always loved that, and maybe that’s an avenue to make money,’” the “House Bunny” actress continued.At that time, Faris was “thinking of a version of retirement.”Faris, who shares son Jack, 13, (pictured here together earlier this month) with Pratt, explained that she was “lucky” to have the podcast, expressing: “I wanted, like, four people to listen and to build my own secret community.” Matt Baron/BEI/ShutterstockThe Hollywood icon (pictured here last month) said, these days, “the opportunities are more bountiful than they’ve ever been!” REUTERSNow, “the opportunities are more bountiful than they’ve ever been!”“I’m just overwhelmed with gratitude,” Faris confessed. “When people see me, they usually smile and say, ‘Oh, I love ‘The House Bunny” or ‘Oh, I love ‘Scary Movi’e’ or ‘Mom’ helped me through that hard time.’”Faris told the outlet, that while she had “enough gumption, enough of a core” to get through her divorce and the chatter of Hollywood, she would be “naïve” to think that being in the spotlight for 26 years didn’t “shape” who she is.In 2021, the “Scary Movie” star (pictured here with the Marvel actor in 2017) said that her marriage failed because as actors, they didn’t eliminate the “competitiveness.” WireImageAfter her divorce, Faris found love with Michael Barrett (pictured here together last month), and the two married in 2021.

Trump's Surprising Nominee for Key Legal Role Sparks Debate

President Trump announced Saturday he plans to nominate James McDonald as the next US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, a powerhouse role that impacts some of the most prominent terrorism cases across the country.McDonald previously served as an assistant US attorney and ran enforcement at the Commodities Futures Trading Commission.

Shawn Thew / Pool via CNP / SplashNews.comThe nomination comes after Trump said he would push the current SDNY chief, Jay Clayton, to be the next Director of National Intelligence – although the move could hinge on objections from Democratic lawmakers over the president’s plan to install Bill Pulte in an “acting” role.“A native of the Great State of Oklahoma, Jamie is a former Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Southern District of New York, and served as Director of Enforcement at the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission during my First Term,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.McDonald is a senior partner at Sullivan & Cromwell and clerked for Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts.“ I am confident that Jamie will deliver strong results for our Country as the next United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, as he has the respect of, and will work fantastically with, our Law Enforcement Patriots, the Legal Community, and the Judicial Bench.

Anna Faris on Life After Chris Pratt: The Unexpected Path She Took New

Anna Faris on Life After Chris Pratt: The Unexpected Path She Took

Anna Faris admittedly felt emotional after initially separating from her ex-husband, Chris Pratt. “I was feeling sad,” Faris, 49, recalled of her divorce in a Variety profile published Saturday, June 13. “I do feel like I had enough gumption, enough of a core, and I have tried to be careful about how much Hollywood infiltrates, but now I’ve been on a spectrum of fame for 26 years, so I would be naïve to think that it hasn’t shaped who I am at this point. But, f*** the scrutiny.” Faris and Pratt, 46, were married from 2009 to 2018, welcoming their now-13-year-old son, Jack, in 2012. After the two actors separated, Faris found solace in her work. “I’m lucky that at that time I had my [“Anna Faris Is Unqualified”] podcast,” the Scary Movie actress recalled to Variety. “I wanted, like, four people to listen and to build my own secret community. I wanted an avenue outside of Hollywood as a way to connect with people.” Faris started her eponymous podcast in 2015 with “curiosity” and “a desire to connect” with guests, per a website description. “I used to do this thing on ski lifts where, if I was on a ski lift with a stranger, I’d say, ‘Do you want to have a really intense 10-minute conversation with me? And you can answer any question you want to,’” Faris told Variety. “I’d ask them questions like, ‘When was the first time you fell in love?’ I’ve had a constant desire to connect with people. I didn’t disclose a lot on the podcast, but I always felt like I could if I needed to.” According to Faris, producing “Anna Faris Is Unqualified" episodes “helped [her] a lot” during her divorce. “It made me think, ‘I know I could be happy if I’m writing because I’ve always loved that, and maybe that’s an avenue to make money,’” the actress told the outlet. “I was thinking of a version of retirement, but now, I feel like the opportunities are more bountiful than they’ve ever been! I’m just overwhelmed with gratitude. When people see me, they usually smile and say, ‘Oh, I love The House Bunny’ or ‘Oh, I love ‘Scary Movie’ or ‘Mom helped me through that hard time.’” Faris and Pratt have each found love again after divorce. The Marvel star is now married to Katherine Schwarzenegger, with whom he shares three children, while Faris married Michael Barrett in 2021.

NYC's Hidden History at Risk: Council Fights to Save Underground Railroad Site New

NYC's Hidden History at Risk: Council Fights to Save Underground Railroad Site

A bipartisan majority of NYC Council members is demanding Mayor Zohran Mamdani seize privately owned property in order to save a piece of Manhattan history tied to the Underground Railroad, The Post has learned.Councilman Harvey Epstein (D-Manhattan) fired off a letter Tuesday to Mamdani signed by 31 other members urging the mayor to work with the Council to use the city’s eminent domain powers to block a proposal to build a 100-foot-high commercial building next door to the Merchant’s House Museum in NoHo, where a secret passageway used to smuggle slaves to freedom was discovered in February.Experts say construction of the planned building will cause irreparable damage to the adjacent city-owned, three-and-a-half-story site—which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is the earliest known location of Underground Railroad activity in NYC.NYC Councilman Harvey Epstein and 31 other Council members are urging Mayor Mamdani to use the city’s eminent domain powers to block a proposal to build a commercial tower next door to the Merchant’s House Museum in NoHo. Erik Pendzich/Shutterstock“The city should, as it has done in the past, take the steps necessary to continue preservation of this historic property, especially given its recent discovery as an African American Heritage Site,” said the pols, which also included Speaker and Manhattan Dem Julie Menin and Queens Republican Joann Ariola.The seized property would become NYC’s first “Underground Railroad Memorial Learning Center,” the pols propose. NYC and the state have used eminent domain —the government’s right to seize private property for what is considers a public benefit —to drive large-scale infrastructure and economic development like highways, Central Park, Hudson Yards and the Atlantic Yards project that included Brooklyn’s Barclays Center.Mamdani is already facing heavy criticism from real estate groups and conservative lawmakers for his Marxist “Fix the City” plan, which proposes seizing derelict buildings from negligent landlords and transferring ownership to favored “community land trusts” or tenants.Ariola defended the Council’s plan to use eminent domain.“This is American history being preserved,” the Republican pol told The Post. “Ordinarily, I would be adamantly against the city interfering with private development, but this is one of the rare occasions when I think such action is warranted.”The Merchant’s House Museum (right) is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is the earliest known location of Underground Railroad activity in NYC.
