Massad Boulos: The Key Architect Behind the Historic DRC-Rwanda Peace Agreement

 In what may become one of the most significant diplomatic moments in recent African history, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Rwanda signed a sweeping peace agreement on June 27, 2025—and they did it in the Oval Office, no less, hosted by President Donald Trump. It’s a deal with real potential to end decades of devastating conflict, but what most people won’t see in the headlines is the man who made it possible behind the scenes: Massad Boulos.

Massad, who currently serves as Senior Advisor at the State Department for Africa and also Senior Advisor to the President on Middle East and Arab affairs, was the quiet force guiding this effort from the start. Notably, Massad’s son, Michael Boulos, is married to Tiffany Trump, underscoring the family’s close ties to the president.

Massad Boulos brings a wealth of cross-cultural negotiation experience to the job. Born into a family with ties across the Middle East, Africa, and the United States, he has long operated at the intersection of global business, diplomacy, and culture.

‘Sick’: Jewish group slams Mamdani over Chanukah video

 (July 6, 2025 / JNS)

A Jewish advocacy organization has strongly criticized New York City mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani—a Democratic socialist and current state assemblyman—after he shared a video the group says disrespects Chanukah and Jewish traditions.

StopAntisemitism took to X to criticize Mamdani for sharing a video last year that featured Indian performers dressed as Jewish characters engaging in Chanukah rituals such as spinning dreidels and lighting a menorah. The group condemned the clip as “sick,” arguing that Jewish holidays and religious practices should not be used as material for humor.

Venezuela, Home to Some of World’s Most Atrocious Political Prisons, Complains ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ Is Racist

 Venezuelan Interior Minister and wanted drug lord Diosdado Cabello claimed on Wednesday that the illegal migrant detention center at Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport, commonly known as “Alligator Alcatraz,” is a “concentration camp” and evidence of the United States’ “racism and supremacism.”

Cabello, who leads the Venezuelan socialist regime’s repressive apparatus and is wanted by U.S. authorities on multiple narco-terrorism charges, levied his accusations during the latest broadcast of his weekly socialist show Hitting with the Mallet. According to Cabello, who condemned the facility as a “concentration camp,” the purported objective of the detention center is to “wipe out people who do not share the same line of thinking as the fascist extremists,” asserting that “there are no human rights in the United States.”

Black Dads Took a Walk—And Racists Lost It

 


Christian nurse fights NHS over discipline for opposing trans breastfeeding workshops

 

Men who take Domperidone to 'lactate' can cause heart problems for babies who drink it


A Christian nurse in the United Kingdom has secured legal representation after facing disciplinary action for objecting to “Queer Birth Club” workshops at NHS maternity services that touts trans breastfeeding and claims it's not just women who give birth.

The nurse, who has remained anonymous, is being defended by the London-based nonprofit Christian Legal Centre (CLC), according to a press release earlier this week from Christian Concern.

The Queer Birth Club, which was founded by a woman named AJ Silver who identifies as a man who has given birth, touts itself as “the UK’s first LGBTQ+ Competency workshop for those working in the maternity or perinatal sector.”

The organization claims to have provided workshops to NHS trusts, universities, doula training schools, “hypnobirthing” schools, lactation consultants and private companies. Silver, who has spoken at the Royal College of Midwives, also penned a book titled Supporting Queer Birth, which touches on issues such as lactation for trans-identifying individuals.

​​“Our vision is that birth and parenthood is improved for all who birth and parent. Adding and amplifying voices of the overlooked and often invisible minorities in the birthing world,” the organization says, adding that they “want every health care professional and birth worker to feel able, competent and excited to support families that exist outside the world’s cis-heteronormality.”

The nurse being represented by CLC is raising questions regarding the Queer Birth Club workshops in light of the U.K. Supreme Court's ruling in April that the terms "woman" and "sex" in the country's Equality Act 2010 refer to a biological woman and biological sex.

“The content of these sessions undermines established clinical standards and introduces extreme ideological beliefs that have no place in healthcare settings,” the nurse said in a statement.

Of particular concern is the Queer Birth Club's promotion of drug-induced lactation in men who take Domperidone, which presents potential dangers to the hearts of the children who drink it, according to the drug manufacturer Janssen, according to The Telegraph. The club, which offers a “LGBTQ+ Competency in Lactation” course, has dismissed such concerns as “transmisogyny.”
