monumental step in global efforts to eliminate

establishment of the Organization for the Prohibition

the destruction of existing arsenals. So now

deadline for obtaining a real ID is fast approaching
with enforcement starting on May 7th. After 17
years of delays, federal officials emphasize
that residents will need a real ID to board domestic
flights. As of January 1st, more than 18 million

over 35 million still need to comply. If you
have not yet acquired a real ID, other accepted
forms of identification include a United States
passport and various security cards. The California
Department of Motor Vehicles is extending hours
at select locations to accommodate this surge
in applications. Now on to sports. Shadir Sanders
learned a crucial lesson in humility during his
NFL draft experience. Despite being hailed as
a top prospect, the former Colorado quarterback
endured a frustrating wait of over two days and
143 selections before the Cleveland Browns finally
called his name. While many analysts viewed him
as a first -round pick, NFL executives had concerns
about his interviews and perceived arrogance.
This situation highlights the stark contrast
between media hype and the realities faced by
talent evaluators. Now Sanders has the opportunity
to prove himself, aiming to fulfill his legendary
aspirations in the league. In local sports, the
Lakers series now stands at 3 -1. with the Timberwolves

seen in nearly half a century. A report by the
Anti -Defamation League indicates an average
of 25 incidents per day. the highest since 1979.
Despite Jews making up about 2 % of the population,
they are targeted in more than two -thirds of
religious hate crimes. Rowdy Sharon Brow warns,
Antisemitism is always the canary in the coal
mine for the evisceration of the rights and dignity
of all people. Incidents related to Israel and
Zionism have sharply increased, highlighting
a troubling trend. Experts emphasize the need
for education and community building, rather
than government intervention, to combat this
alarming situation. In business news, last night,
CPC News projected that the Liberal Party will
form the next Canadian government, granting Mark
Carney a full term as Prime Minister. This comes
amid ongoing trade tensions with the United States.
While it remains uncertain if the Liberal Party
will secure a majority, they have currently obtained
160 seats in the House of Commons. Carney, a
former Goldman Sachs banker, successfully defeated
his rivals, including Pierre Poilever of the
Conservative Party. The election was heavily
influenced by President Donald Trump's tariffs,
prompting a bi -Canadian movement and a shift
back to the Liberal Party. In crypto movement,

science. Scientists have made a significant breakthrough
in understanding hailstorm formation, a mystery
that has puzzled meteorologists for years. A
study from the Chinese Academy of Sciences analyzed
27 hailstones from nine storms in China. revealing
that hail primarily forms by descending steadily
or through a single upward push, rather than
the traditional recycling process. Lead author
Kang Hongzhang emphasized, This work fundamentally
changes how we understand hail formation. The
findings could enhance weather forecasting and
improve estimates of hailstorm dangers, though
funding cuts to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration may hinder these efforts. Entertainment
news. In The Surfer, Nicolas Cage delivers a
performance that is undeniably unhinged. His
character, struggling through life's challenges,
attempts to reclaim his childhood home near a
picturesque Australian surfing spot. However,
a tough group of locals reminiscent of a motorcycle
gang, led by Julian McMahon, repeatedly warns
him, don't live here, don't surf here. The film
follows Cage's character as he battles desperation
and chaos, showcasing his unique ability to portray
madness. Drawing inspiration from real -life
surfer gangs, The Surfer feels like a nostalgic
exploitation film, highlighting Cage's unparalleled
talent in cinema. Well, alrighty folks, it's
time for the quote of the day. And today, our
