There are conflicting reports involving what is being described as a mass casualty event in South Carolina overnight. Warning: information is truly sketchy surrounding this event, but here’s what we know so far. Reports started surfacing Sunday night that there was a large police response to a shooting in the Little River area of South Carolina, just northeast of Myrtle Beach. This post was the first I saw of the event, initially indicating that 10 or more people had been shot: BREAKING: MASS SHOOTING REPORTED IN LITTLE RIVER, SOUTH CAROLINA Early reports indicate at least 10 people have been shot. Source: Local media reports pic.twitter.com/aKQYnaXd4N — Mario Nawfal (@MarioNawfal) May 26, 2025 As of the time of this writing, it appears that at least 11 people have been injured — this includes an Officer who purportedly took a bullet to the leg from his own gun in the chaos. Some reports have indicated the shooting happened on the dock where the boat in this video operates from: NEW: The mass shooting took place on the dock of this boat in Little River, South Carolina, per MB Scanner News on Facebook. pic.twitter.com/ywv8mKEhzG — Noteworthy News (@newsnoteworthy) May 26, 2025 That information has yet to be confirmed. The following video report gave an update earlier this morning from the ABC News affiliate out of Myrtle Beach, confirming that the event did happen and local authorities are still investigating: Crews took 11 people to the hospital following a shooting in Little River, but there are reports of others arriving at hospitals in their own cars.https://t.co/8VBaIxqDxV pic.twitter.com/1gHvOvoVGf — Simon Williams (@SimonWPDE) May 26, 2025 There was no reported suspects in that story, but about the same time this morning Maria Nawfal posted an update including a report of a potential suspect. According to Nawfal’s post, Police are saying a man dressed in black fired from the dock — presumably the dock of the boat in the previous video: MEMORIAL DAY MAYHEM: 11 SHOT IN NORTH CAROLINA A Memorial Day dock party in Little River turned chaotic after a gunman opened fire, injuring at least 11. Police say a man in his 20s, dressed in all black, fired from the dock before vanishing. Strangely, no major outlet is… https://t.co/aOeJMYhVqe pic.twitter.com/mECBeioZTy — Mario Nawfal (@MarioNawfal) May 26, 2025 Here is the text of Nawfal’s most recent update post: A Memorial Day dock party in Little River turned chaotic after a gunman opened fire, injuring at least 11. Police say a man in his 20s, dressed in all black, fired from the dock before vanishing. Strangely, no major outlet is calling it a “mass shooting.” One officer reportedly shot himself in the leg. No suspect, no motive, and no details so far. Mainstream media is now reporting on the incident, though the information seems just as sparse as it did overnight. The Horry County Police Department is promising more details, but is still asking the public to say away from the location of the shooting according to a report this morning from Fox News: The Horry County Police Department is asking locals to steer clear of the area following reports of a mass shooting. The incident occurred on Watson Avenue in Little River and police are saying that at least 11 individuals have been transported to area hospitals by Horry County Fire Rescue. Police also said via social media that they have received reports of others arriving at area hospitals via personal vehicles. No further information was immediately available. “This is an active and ongoing investigation,” the Horry County Police Department said. That was virtually the same information given out by the Police Department via social media last night when the story started to break: BREAKING: At least 11 victims transported from the scene of mass shooting in Little River, SC, according to police. Other victims may have self-transported in personal vehicles. pic.twitter.com/a4KykxDGzJ — Breaking 4 News (@Breaking_4_News) May 26, 2025 The following video has surfaced, allegedly showing some of the aftermath of the shooting on the dock referenced by the Police. Warning: this is a very bloody and gruesome video: A story updated about an hour before this report indicated that no details about the injuries sustained by the victims has been released. The Police are saying it was an “isolated” event (which does very little to reassure this writer, considering the timing and reports of impending homeland attacks from a resurgent al Qaeda), according to Newsweek‘s reporting: Paramedics and private vehicles rushed victims to local hospitals after gunfire broke out in the town of Little River at about 9:30 p.m. on Sunday. During the chaotic aftermath, a police officer accidentally shot himself in the leg. Details about the victims and their injuries have not yet been released, and the authorities have not revealed whether there was one shooter or multiple people firing during the incident. Newsweek has reached out to Horry County Police Department by email, outside of usual office hours, seeking further information and comment. Horry County Police Department sealed off the scene and are investigating what it said appeared to be an “isolated” event that posed no risk to the wider community. “At this time, 11 individuals have been transported to area hospitals by Horry County Fire Rescue, and we have received reports of others arriving at area hospitals via personal vehicles,” Horry County Police Department said in a statement on Facebook. The initial lack of details seems to be stretching in to the earlier morning hours of Memorial Day. This is a developing story, and we will bring you more details and updates as information becomes available.

In a statement this week, President Donald Trump once again took aim at Harvard University as part of ongoing disputes over the Ivy League school’s policies and positions. This time, the president focused on the university’s practice of admitting a large number of international students in a manner he believes disadvantages the US. According to The Hill: “Why isn’t Harvard saying that almost 31% of their students are from FOREIGN LANDS, and yet those countries, some not at all friendly to the United States, pay NOTHING toward their student’s education, nor do they ever intend to,” Trump wrote. “Nobody told us that! We want to know who those foreign students are, a reasonable request since we give Harvard BILLIONS OF DOLLARS, but Harvard isn’t exactly forthcoming. We want those names and countries. Harvard has $52,000,000, use it, and stop asking for the Federal Government to continue GRANTING money to you!” Harvard enrolled about 6,800 international students during the 2024-2025 academic year — about 27 percent of the entire student population, according to the university’s records available online.

Billions of dollars have been paid to Harvard. How ridiculous is that? Harvard’s going to have to change… pic.twitter.com/T87WIrkeVA — RedWave Press (@RedWave_Press) May 23, 2025 As Fox News reported over the weekend: The Department of Homeland Security moved to terminate Harvard’s visa program after the university allegedly failed to provide extensive behavioral records of student visa holders the agency had requested. The records sought include any footage of protest activity involving student visa holders, even if it’s not criminal, and the disciplinary records of all student visa holders in the past five years. Requested records also include footage or documentation of illegal, dangerous or violent activity by student visa holders, any records of threats or the deprivation of rights of other students or university personnel. Harvard called the new policy “pernicious” and accused the administration of departing from “decades of settled practice” and coming “without rational explanation.” The university also said the policy was “carried out abruptly without any of the robust procedures the government has established to prevent just this type of upheaval to thousands of students’ lives.” At least a dozen Harvard students have had their student visas revoked over campus protest activity. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said before Congress on Tuesday that the administration has probably revoked thousands already and would “proudly” revoke more. The administration has already frozen close to $3 billion in federal funding to the university, largely dedicated to research, over claims that Harvard has not adequately responded to alleged campus antisemitism in protests and has not moved to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion practices. Here’s another clip of Trump’s thoughts on the matter:

President Trump, in his latest post on Truth Social, has called Russian President Vladimir Putin “Crazy.” Trump, in a post on Truth Social, wrote, “I’ve always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia, but something has happened to him. He has gone absolutely CRAZY!” He added, “He is needlessly killing a lot of people, and I’m not just talking about soldiers. Missiles and drones are being shot into Cities in Ukraine, for no reason whatsoever.” President Trump’s comments come as Russia has launched its most significant strikes against Ukraine in three years. President Trump: Putin has gone crazy. pic.twitter.com/rS91wMpbQz — Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) May 26, 2025 Here’s what CNN reported: President Donald Trump said Sunday that Vladimir Putin “has gone absolutely CRAZY,” after the Russian leader launched the largest aerial attack of Moscow’s three-year full-scale war on Ukraine. “I’ve always had a very good relationship with Vladimir Putin of Russia, but something has happened to him. He has gone absolutely CRAZY! He is needlessly killing a lot of people, and I’m not just talking about soldiers. Missiles and drones are being shot into Cities in Ukraine, for no reason whatsoever,” Trump posted on Truth Social. Hours earlier, Trump had told reporters: “I’m not happy with what Putin is doing. He’s killing a lot of people, and I don’t know what the hell happened to Putin.” Moscow launched overnight attacks on Friday, Saturday and Sunday in Ukraine, killing at least 29 people over three days and injuring dozens more, according to officials. The bombardment from Saturday into Sunday saw more drones and missiles launched at Ukraine than in any other single assault in three years. Trump’s intervention, coming at a crucial moment in Moscow’s war, will be viewed with relief in the West as a signal that the White House has grown frustrated with Putin’s refusal to accept a proposed 30-day ceasefire in the conflict. The Kremlin on Monday sought to downplay the significance of the remarks, categorizing them as an “emotional reaction.” A woman stands with her belongings, outside her house in Markhalivka, in the Kyiv region of Ukraine, that was destroyed in a Russian strike on Sunday. “This is a very important moment, which is associated with the emotional overload of absolutely everyone and with emotional reactions,” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Monday. Trump goes off about Putin: "I’m not happy with Putin. I don't know what the hell happened to him. He's gone crazy & is attacking civilians" pic.twitter.com/u1msHIOYeL — Anthony Albanese ➐ Australian Labor Parody (@AlboIsPM) May 26, 2025 Per BBC: Russia launched its biggest drone barrage on Ukraine just hours after Donald Trump called Vladimir Putin “crazy” for the attacks. The US president said on Truth Social on Sunday: “Something has happened to him. He has gone absolutely crazy. He is needlessly killing a lot of people.” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Trump’s comment was a “very important moment… connected to an emotional overload of everyone involved” but added the Russian president was taking decisions “necessary for the security” of Russia. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said “only a sense of total impunity” could allow Russia to “carry out such strikes and continue increasing their scale”. At least 13 people were killed and dozens injured in Ukraine in the night between Saturday and Sunday after Russia fired 367 drones and missiles in what was the largest combined aerial attack since Russia’s full-scale invasion of February 2022. Then, between Sunday evening and Monday morning, Russia launched 355 drones and nine cruise missiles against Ukraine, according to Kyiv’s air force. The Ukrainian air force said it was the largest attack yet conducted with drones alone.

President Trump said on Monday he is considering taking $3 billion in grant money away from Harvard and giving it to trade schools. “I am considering taking Three Billion Dollars of Grant Money away from a very antisemitic Harvard, and giving it to TRADE SCHOOLS all across our land. What a great investment that would be for the USA, and so badly needed!!!” Trump said. Per Reuters: Trump, a Republican, has frozen some $3 billion in federal grants to Harvard in recent weeks, complaining that it has hired Democrats, “Radical Left idiots and ‘bird brains'” as professors. Harvard, a private university, has sued to restore the funding, saying the cuts are an unconstitutional attack on its free speech rights and unlawful. Most of that grant money is appropriated by Congress for the National Institutes of Health to disburse to fund biomedical research after a lengthy application process by individual scientists, work that is not typically done at trade schools. It was not clear whether Trump was referring to Harvard grants his administration has already frozen. Harvard has said it was told that virtually all of its federal grant awards were revoked earlier in May, in a series of letters by the NIH, the U.S. Forest Service, the Department of Energy, the Department of Defense and other agencies. The letters each said the grants were being suspended because they “no longer effectuate agency priorities.” “We are still waiting for the Foreign Student Lists from Harvard so that we can determine, after a ridiculous expenditure of BILLIONS OF DOLLARS, how many radicalized lunatics, troublemakers all, should not be let back into our Country. Harvard is very slow in the presentation of these documents, and probably for good reason!” Trump said. “The best thing Harvard has going for it is that they have shopped around and found the absolute best Judge (for them!) – But have no fear, the Government will, in the end, WIN!’ he added.

Ray Dalio started the world’s largest hedge fund, Bridgewater Associates, from his New York City apartment years ago.  He’s well respected because he knows his stuff. In an interview on Fox News on the heels of Moody’s downgrading the AAA rating of the US Debt, Dalio warned that things are much more dire than they seem (regarding our national debt). “When there’s a lot of debt, it has to be sold… and there are not enough buyers for that debt. When that happens, bad things happen like interest rates go up and the economy goes down,” Dalio said. When asked if he’s worried about the dollar no longer being the world’s currency, Dalio replied, “Yes…When we say world’s currency, let me be clear…  I think all the countries are having debt problems now.” Fox News asked Dalio about his ownership of gold (he has spent $319 million on gold this year) and if he would recommend that everyone buy gold. Dalio responded by saying, “Money has to be a medium of exchange and a store of wealth. And I think because we have a debt problem, you have to look at the alternative monies.” If you think clearly about what Ray Dalio just said, you have to conclude that he’s concerned that the US dollar (and other currencies around the globe) may collapse soon.  Or at a bare minimum, greatly lose what little purchasing power they have left. Is he right? Is a currency collapse something you should be concerned about? Let’s look at the numbers… We (our government) are spending roughly $2.6 billion per day on interest payments for the national debt. TWO POINT SIX BILLION DOLLARS! – EVERY DAY! – JUST ON INTEREST! Next year, 2026, the annual interest payments will exceed $1 TRILLION! It’s unsustainable.  We are borrowing money to pay the interest on our debt.  And it gets worse day by day.  The daily interest payment is projected to rise to $4.9 billion per day by 2035. Should you do like Ray Dalio did and buy gold? Many experts are predicting that gold prices will continue to climb… Just as it has over the past century and beyond. So get in now before something drastic happens that creates a mad rush to gold that drives the price to unimaginable levels. Not sure where to get reliable advice that you can trust?
