Israel Kills Hezbollah Leader Nasrallah
Israel has killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and other key commanders in targeted airstrikes in Beirut, Lebanon. Hezbollah confirmed their longtime leader’s death Saturday.
Iranian general Abbas Nilforoushan was also killed in the attack.
Israel said it conducted strikes on 140 Hezbollah targets overnight and into Saturday morning. Israeli Defense Forces indicated that “precise intelligence” led to the strike on Nasrallah in Hezbollah’s “Central Headquarters,” located beneath a residential building.
The death of Hezbollah’s top official drastically escalates tensions in the Middle East, with Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei calling the strike “criminal” and saying Israel would “regret its actions.”
425,000 Criminal Illegal Immigrants Free in U.S.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) released a new report Friday indicating that over 425,000 illegal immigrants who have been convicted of crimes are currently free in the U.S., rising from the 405,000 mark in 2021.
Over 13,000 of the “non-detained” immigrants have been convicted of homicide. 62,231 have been convicted of assault and 14,301 of burglary.
The report came on that same day that Vice President Harris made a rare visit to the border, as border security remains one of the most pivotal issues in the presidential election.
List: When Billionaires Could Become Trillionaires
It’s one thing to be a billionaire, but when will the world see a trillionaire? According to a new study, Elon Musk could become the world’s first trillionaire by 2027.
The study indicates he would be followed by three more trillionaires in 2028 with India’s Gautam Adani, American Jensen Huang, and Indonesia’s Prajogo Pangestu. The world’s second richest person currently, Frenchman Bernard Arnault, is set to reach trillionaire status in 2030.
These projections are based on annual average fortune growth from 2017 to 2024. See the full findings here.

Did you know that the United States sits on the third-largest lithium reserves in the world? That’s a big deal considering lithium demand projects to grow 20X by 2040. Well, spanning 600 miles from Florida to Texas, there’s a massive opportunity waiting – a reserve so big the entire industry took note. It just so happens to be right in EnergyX’s backyard.
Known as the Smackover Formation, this immense reserve possesses higher lithium concentrations than any other in the United States. EnergyX’s patented tech extracts lithium 300% more efficiently than conventional methods. Plus, where modern methods take 12+ months, they need just two days.
With a $5M DOE grant toward Project Lonestar, a recently announced US lithium plant smack dab in the Smackover, they’re ready to take full advantage. By the time Project Lonestar is fully up and running, it will be producing 5X as much lithium as today’s top-producing lithium plant. Seize your piece of this $546B energy storage treasure – invest in EnergyX before their early-stage capital raise closes Thursday.

For General Motors to succeed in meeting its EV transition target by 2035, they’ll need up to 414,469 tons of lithium per year. That’s why the automaking behemoth led a $50M investment round for lithium extraction startup EnergyX.
Their patented tech extracts lithium 300% more efficiently than conventional methods. Plus, where modern methods take 12+ months, EnergyX needs just two days. That’s why EnergyX has been entrusted with the rights to 100,000+ acres of lithium-rich Chilean land and a $5M DOE grant toward a recently announced US lithium plant.
It’s not just cars that need batteries, either. The entire $546B energy storage market will depend on securing reliable sources of lithium. EnergyX’s plan to produce 65,000 tons per year will help them lead the charge. However, EnergyX is only accepting shareholders through Thursday.
