Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s handbag, containing about $3,000 in cash, her DHS badge, passport, and other sensitive items, was reportedly stolen by a man wearing a medical mask at a Washington, D.C. restaurant on Sunday night. Noem confirmed the incident on Monday while attending the White House Easter Egg Roll, but indicated that the matter remains unresolved. Secret Service agents reportedly reviewed restaurant security camera footage, which showed an unknown white male wearing a surgical mask stealing her unattended bag before quickly exiting the establishment. Other stolen contents include Noem’s driver’s license, apartment keys, medication, makeup, and blank checks. A DHS spokesperson told Newsweek that Noem had such a large amount of cash on hand to “treat her family to dinner, activities, and Easter gifts.” “We can confirm this occurred last night. Her entire family was in town including her children and grandchildren,” DHS said. A law enforcement source confirmed that the Secret Service has initiated an investigation to trace any potential unauthorized use of Noem’s financial instruments. This is a developing story.

Actor Vince Vaughn made a surprise appearance at the White House Friday and met President Donald Trump, a move which was hilariously documented on the official White House X account. The 55-year-old was featured in a meme parodying the 2005 romantic comedy classic, “Wedding Crashers,” which starred Vaughn and Owen Wilson.  President Donald J. Trump & Vince Vaughn in the Oval Office ?? pic.twitter.com/mav8cMqirJ — The White House (@WhiteHouse) April 18, 2025 This spoof was titled “White House Crashers” and showed a snapshot of Vaughn and Trump during their meeting as a mock movie poster.  The White House had not formally listed Vaughn’s visit on the president’s schedule for reporters, per The Hill. “Wedding Crashers” (2005) is a comedy about two best friends, John (Owen Wilson) and Jeremy (Vaughn), who crash weddings to meet women and party. Their routine is disrupted when John develops feelings for Claire (Rachel McAdams), the daughter of a powerful politician, Secretary William Cleary (Christopher Walken), during a high-society wedding.  Vaughn addressed his politics during a profile in The New York Times last year, saying he’s a libertarian and a “believer more in allowing individuals to make choices.” “I’d rather say let people make their choices, and they can make different choices and have the consequences of their choices,” he told the outlet. This isn’t the first time Vaughn has made headlines for associating with Trump. They were also seen together at the 2020 College Football Playoff National Championship game in New Orleans, with Vaughn later defending his actions after criticism came his way.  “In my career I’ve met a lot of politicians who I’ve always been cordial to,” he told the Los Angeles Times shortly after the meeting and subsequent backlash. “I don’t have a party that I support and endorse. In fact, for me sometimes it’s difficult to find a candidate that you feel is philosophically consistent and not just going along with whoever is funding their particular party.”

The animated, bible-based film “The King of Kings” managed to perform almost as well in its second week as it did during the film’s premiere, bringing in $17.2 million over Easter weekend after a record-breaking $19.1 million debut. The past weekend’s earnings represent only a 10% decrease in revenue, which is among the 50 lowest percentage revenue drops for any movie that had a theatrical opening, per Screen Rant. This is significantly better than the industry average second-weekend drop, which usually ranges from 50% to 60%. “The King of Kings” came in third at the box office behind “Sinners” and “A Minecraft Movie.” The film has made just over $45 million, making it the second-highest-grossing movie for Angel Studios, behind 2023’s unexpected hit, “Sound of Freedom.” In its debut weekend, “The King of Kings” also broke the record set by “The Prince of Egypt” for most money earned by an animated biblical film during its premiere. “The Prince of Egypt” (1998) went on to earn over $100 million domestically. “The King of Kings” has been a massive hit with critics and audiences, too. It currently has a 65% critic score and 98% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. The reviewer from The San Francisco Chronicle noted the film’s “whimsical Dickensian touches.” “The King of Kings” is based on Charles Dickens’ book, “The Life of Our Lord.” He also called the movie “amusing and possibly enlightening Easter entertainment for younger children.” Most moviegoers were generous with their praise. One reviewer said it was “a visually captivating animated film that brings the story of Jesus to life through the imaginative lens of Charles Dickens narrating to his son.” “The film’s heartfelt message of hope, love, and redemption resonates strongly with faith-based audiences. A great film for all !! Tastefully done,” he added. Another agreed, writing, “This was so captivating! Entertains adults and kids. It is full of truth and light. I’d recommend to everyone!” A synopsis of the film says, “A father tells his son the greatest story ever told, and what begins as a bedtime tale becomes a life-changing journey. Through vivid imagination, the boy walks alongside Jesus, witnessing His miracles, facing His trials, and understanding His ultimate sacrifice. The King of Kings invites us to rediscover the enduring power of hope, love, and redemption through the eyes of a child.”

Pope Francis died on Easter Monday at the age of 88, after a long battle with respiratory illness — during which he was hospitalized for 38 days and nearly died twice — and a number of absolute ghouls on X have spent the morning attempting to blame Vice President JD Vance for the pontiff’s passing. Vance, who was an atheist prior to his conversion to Catholicism, spent the holiday weekend with his family at the Vatican — and shared photos on Easter Sunday of his brief meeting with Pope Francis. Just hours later, however, the vice president shared his condolences after learning that the pope had passed. “I just learned of the passing of Pope Francis. My heart goes out to the millions of Christians all over the world who loved him. I was happy to see him yesterday, though he was obviously very ill. But I’ll always remember him for the below homily he gave in the very early days of COVID. It was really quite beautiful. May God rest his soul,” he said. I just learned of the passing of Pope Francis. My heart goes out to the millions of Christians all over the world who loved him. I was happy to see him yesterday, though he was obviously very ill. But I’ll always remember him for the below homily he gave in the very early days… — JD Vance (@JDVance) April 21, 2025 It was not long before Vance’s critics took to X to suggest that he’d had something to do with the pope’s passing, despite the Catholic leader’s very public — and very lengthy — battle with respiratory illness. The New York Times even reported that Pope Francis had been given a stern warning upon finally leaving the hospital, as doctors told him that he’d effectively been granted miraculous healing and should remain isolated to aid in his recovery. Despite that warning, the pontiff made several public appearances — greeting visitors to St. Peter’s Square on Palm Sunday, visiting with dozens of inmates at a prison on Thursday, and making a surprise appearance on Saturday in St. Peter’s Basilica — in the days prior to his death. The X critics only seized on Vance’s visit, however. Keith Olbermann posted, “BREAKING: Man, I would NOT want to be Jayvee Vance just now … Or ever, for that matter. But still …” Or ever, for that matter. But still… — Keith Olbermann (@KeithOlbermann) April 21, 2025 “The vice president killed the pope,” another said.

I think we should bring that back.” “Imagine being so bad at Catholicism that you killed the pope.” “Every crime show I’ve ever watched tells me that the last person to see someone alive is usually a prime suspect.” “And now he’s dead?? Wtf??” “I would die too if i had to meet jd vance.” A number referenced another similar situation from several years earlier, when former British Prime Minister Liz Truss met with the late Queen Elizabeth II shortly before her death. “Pope Francis has died at the age of 88, the Vatican has announced. His last official visitor was US Vice President JD Vance. Will remind of Liz Truss visiting Queen Elizabeth II shortly before the monarch’s death,” one posted.

China threatened on Monday to take “countermeasures” against countries that agree to trade deals with the United States “at the expense of China’s interests.” The country’s warning to nations around the globe comes as the Trump administration continues negotiations on trade and tariffs. Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India — one of China’s biggest economic adversaries — is set to meet with Vice President JD Vance this week in New Delhi, where the two are expected to discuss a bilateral trade deal. A spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Commerce said on Monday that the United States “has abused tariffs on all its trading partners under the banner of so-called ‘reciprocity,’ while at the same time forcing all parties to start so-called ‘reciprocal tariff negotiations’ with it.” “It should be pointed out in particular that China firmly opposes any party reaching a deal at the expense of China’s interests,” the Ministry of Commerce stated. “If this happens, China will never accept it and will resolutely take countermeasures in a reciprocal manner. China is determined and capable of safeguarding its own rights and interests.” “Appeasement cannot bring peace, and compromise cannot be respected,” the communist government added. Earlier this month, President Donald Trump froze tariffs for most countries at 10% for 90 days as many trading partners showed a willingness to come to the negotiating table. Trump’s tariff on Chinese goods, however, was increased to 145% as the United States and China traded retaliatory moves. Currently, China has imposed a 125% tariff on U.S. imports. According to the White House, around 130 countries are lining up to meet with administration officials and hash out new deals, and last week, President Trump joined some of his top trade advisers during a meeting with Japanese leaders in Washington, D.C. Trump said on Sunday that “many World Leaders and Business Executives have come to me asking for relief from Tariffs.” “It’s good to see that the World knows we are serious, because WE ARE! They must right the wrongs of decades of abuse, but it won’t be easy for them,” he added. “We must rebuild the Wealth of our Great Country, and create true RECIPROCITY. But for those who want the easiest path: Come to America, and build in America!” China, however, continues to push back against the Trump administration’s tariffs, vowing to fight the trade war against the United States “to the end.” China is also seeking to strengthen its ties to other nations that have been hit by Trump’s tariffs. In the past few weeks, Chinese President Xi Jinping has courted Vietnam and Malaysia, urging them to defend “an open and cooperative international environment,” The New York Times reported. Chinese officials have also reached out to Japan, South Korea, and the European Union as the trade war intensifies.

Pope Francis died on Easter Monday, April 21, 2025, at age 88. Though he faced a long battle with pneumonia, his death came as a bit of a surprise to Catholics worldwide. It wasn’t because they expected him to live forever. It was because the pontiff remained active on social media until the day before his death. On Easter Sunday, Pope Francis posted a series of messages to the faithful on X. He was the first pope in history to embrace social media, and many people appreciated his desire to communicate with Catholics in a meaningful modern way. Christ is risen! These words capture the entire meaning of our existence, for we were not made for death but for life. #Easter https://t.co/s8D2o4WCfV— Apostolica Sedes Vacans (@Pontifex) April 20, 2025 Pope Francis Posted Five Messages on Social Media the Day Before He Died As he often did during his 12 years as Pope, the holy father shared messages on X up until the day he died. On Easter Sunday, he posted five separate messages, one of which read, “I would like us to renew our hope that #peace is possible! From the Holy Sepulchre, the Church of the Resurrection, where this year #Easter is being celebrated by Catholics and Orthodox on the same day, may the light of peace radiate throughout the Holy Land and the entire world.” In the passion and death of Jesus, God has taken upon Himself all the evil in this world and in His infinite mercy has defeated it. He has uprooted the diabolical pride that poisons the human heart and wreaks violence and corruption on every side. #Easter— Apostolica Sedes Vacans (@Pontifex) April 20, 2025 His very last post was short and sweet. It said, “Christ is risen! These words capture the entire meaning of our existence, for we were not made for death but for life.” The news of Pope Francis’ death saddened many who shared condolences on social media. One wrote on X, “Rest in peace. You were a light in dark times.” Another shared, “What a beautiful last post from our Holy Father. Let us pray that God shows mercy on his soul and that he joins our spiritual ancestors in Heaven!” This person agreed, “Rest in Peace, Holy Father. Your words will resonate forever.” This story’s featured image is by Vatican Media via Vatican Pool/Getty Images.

Babies born with light hair often look like they have no eyebrows. While this is perfectly normal, many parents want their babies to look “more normal.” An odd TikTok trend was born to facilitate that extra bit of normalcy by putting fake eyebrows on babies. It wasn’t normal, but it was hilarious. First on our list of favorites isn’t the fake eyebrows, which look almost normal on this baby girl. The video below is unique because of the Dad’s reaction to his baby having fake eyebrows. He can’t stop laughing. @chandlermarieking It made his day #prank #funny #baby #momsoftiktok #dadsoftiktok #fyp #makeup #lotd #eyebrowsonbaby #eyebrows ♬ Funny Song – Funny Song Studio & Sounds Reel & Thomas Hewitt Jones Another Dad was napping with the baby when Mom got out the eyebrow pencil. The baby went from having no eyebrows to looking just like Dad while they napped. Dad woke up and spun the baby around, got a look at the fake eyebrows, and just lay there giggling. @kelseydiann I can’t stop laughing #babiesoftiktok #eyebrowfilter #funny #viral #dadsreaction #husbandsreaction #dadsoftiktok #funnybaby #CorollaCrossStep #laugh ♬ Funny Song – Funny Song Studio & Sounds Reel & Thomas Hewitt Jones Many people who took up the challenge colored in the light hairs of their child’s existing brows. Others took it a step or two further, creating more hilarity. A few Moms tried their hand at perfectly arched eyebrows. Most of those babies could have competed in a Ronald McDonald look-alike contest. We won’t embarrass the little darlings. They did nothing to deserve that. However, we did find these two intriguing. Image from TikTok here and here. These fake eyebrows scream “mean,” but that adorable little grin is too much to resist. However, the baby might use that irresistible grin like a lure to draw you in. The sleeping baby on the right was done for shock value. The fake eyebrows look like they were painted on with a giant-sized black magic marker. You can find more individual posts and several montage posts at #eyebrowsonbaby on TikTok. Please share. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

Every talented artist has to start somewhere. That said, most people can’t say they got their start as early as Callum. This little boy has, essentially, been playing the drums since he was born. You might be thinking, “Well, that’s cool, but it’s not like a baby is going to be a good drummer.” And, for most babies, I’m sure that you would be correct. But Cullum is not like most little ones his age. He’s only 19 months old, but he’s already proving to have innate musical skills. He can be doing just about anything when, suddenly, he’ll bust out a beat. Plus, he’s already doing so surprisingly well. But you truly have to see his drumming to believe it… so see this kid in action for yourself in the viral video below! @callumdrums Our little drummer boy #babydrummer #19monthsold #babytok ♬ original sound – Callum “[Bro is] gonna have 20 years of experience when he’s 20,” someone points out in reply to this shocking video, another person adding, “You can’t tell me this baby isn’t a reincarnated drummer.” This Unbelievably Talented Kid Has Been Drumming Since the Day He Was Born! Naturally, this video has people asking, “Is anyone else in Callum’s life a musician?” And the answer is a resounding “yes!” Both his mom and dad, in fact, are deeply passionate about music. Learn more about this talented little family below! @callumdrums Replying to @Jenna Yes, we handed him the sticks but he decided the rest #babydrummer #19monthsold #family ♬ Little Things – Adrián Berenguer It goes to show that absolutely incredible things can happen when a child is introduced to a passion early in life! There’s no telling where Callum’s talent will take him in the future. But one thing is for sure: His parents will be right beside him, cheering him on! Or, perhaps, playing with him… “A guitar player, a drum player and a singer. A full band is now in the house!” someone writes, jokingly asking, “When is the tour?” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!
