Sister of “Baywatch” Star Faces Allegations of Inappropriate Conduct with Male Student

0

A teacher, who happens to be the sister of a millionaire Baywatch TV star, is facing allegations of grooming a male student at her high school, reportedly calling herself his ‘sugar momma,’ according to police sources.

Haley Beck, the sister of popular influencer and actor Noah Beck, is accused of engaging in an inappropriate relationship with a student at Centennial High School in Peoria. This information comes from a police report obtained by KPHO.

Her brother Noah, aged 24, has recently joined the cast of the new Baywatch TV series reboot on Fox, where he stars alongside Livvy Dunne.

The 27-year-old educator is currently under investigation for allegedly beginning to groom the student in December 2024, prior to his 18th birthday. This information is part of a statement of charges released by the Peoria Unified School District.

Investigators have stated that Beck reportedly harassed the minor during his sophomore and junior years, while he was a student in her psychology and sociology classes.

According to the nearly 200-page police report, Beck, who was hired to work at the school in 2020, bought the student gifts, food, drugs, and alcohol, paid him more than $600, and gave him access to her car. 

Beck also allegedly helped improve his grades and attendance record, and gave him special treatment in the classroom, investigators claimed. 

She went on to call herself the boy’s ‘sugar momma’ and even wrote in a message to him that ‘it felt like straight prostitution’, the report stated. 

For nearly six weeks, Beck and the student sent each other more than 4,000 text messages that spoke of illegal and sexual activity, police said.

No formal criminal charges have been filed against Beck, as of Sunday. 

While their alleged student-teacher relationship was underway, another educator, Angela Burlaka, recorded naked videos of herself that ended up on the student’s phone, per the report. 

Burlaka, a married 47-year-old, was also heard saying the student’s name in the clip, the documents stated. 

The victim’s grandmother soon found the disturbing videos on his phone last July and called the police, prompting the investigation, the report said. 

Sexual misconduct claims involving Beck soon came to light after the probe was launched, with the victim’s mother telling police she was aware her son was ‘having sex with a teacher named “Haley Beck”,’ authorities stated. 

The teenager and his family did not want to cooperate with detectives, fearing it would affect his college athletic scholarships, according to officials. 

Meanwhile, Beck appeared to have known that Burlaka was allegedly involved with the same student. 

‘I mean yeah I guess but even though our situation is still not right at least we are closer in age,’ she wrote to the minor in a text message included in the report. ‘I don’t like being compared to Mrs B.’ 

Another telling note to the student from Beck was located by police during a search of her apartment.

The message read: ‘For this “relationship” being extremely wrong, I feel like we have really made the most out of it,’ adding ‘there is truly no other student (I know, so wrong) that I’d want to do all this with.’ 

According to records, Centennial High School Principal Scott Hollabaugh gave police Beck’s name after the investigation into Burlaka began. 

He told cops that he had received ‘multiple complaints from students and staff’ about Beck, records revealed. 

After the probe started, Burlaka voluntarily surrendered her Arizona teaching certificates, but Beck did not. 

‘The Peoria Unified School District and Governing Board take all allegations involving student safety extremely seriously,’ a spokesperson with the Peoria Unified School District told the outlet. 

‘At the time the concerns were reported, the information available did not meet the legal threshold for reasonable suspicion of abuse, nor was there corroborating evidence to support such a determination. 

‘The District responded in accordance with Governing Board policy, applicable law, and established procedures. Following a review of the matter, appropriate actions were taken to address the concerns raised. 

‘Due to pending litigation, the District is unable to provide additional details. We remain committed to maintaining a safe, supportive, and responsive environment for all students and staff.’ 

During a governing board meeting on March 26, the Peoria Unified School District unanimously voted to fire her. She has until April 8 to request a hearing with the district to fight her termination.

A mother spoke out about the district’s decision at the meeting, stating: ‘We send our kids to your schools 10 months a year, five days a week, seven hours a day. 

‘So as a parent, I’m glad to see that these pedophiles like Haley Beck are being held accountable as much as possible.’ 

Formal charges have not been filed against Beck as the Peoria Police Department re-submitted the investigation to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office for further review. 

Police recommended that the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office charge Beck with inducing prostitution and Burlaka with aggravated luring of a minor for sexual exploitation. 

The recommendations were under review by the attorney’s office before being returned to police for further investigation in February.  

When contacted by the Daily Mail, Beck sent over a statement from her legal team. 

‘Ms. Beck respects the criminal justice process and looks forward to the conclusion of the investigation, which will reveal she committed no crimes,’ her lawyer Matthew Long with Long & Simmons Law said.

Chilly Weather Kicks Off the Workweek with Storm Team 3’s Latest Forecast

SAVANNAH, Ga. — As night falls, the rain that has been persistent throughout the day is expected to taper off, ushering in a noticeably cooler week ahead.

This afternoon saw the development of showers and a few storms that carried into the early evening hours. The most intense rainfall was concentrated along the I-95 corridor, while other regions experienced only light precipitation.

A particularly fierce cluster of storms stole the spotlight, bringing with it frequent lightning, torrential downpours, and strong winds that swept across the Lowcountry, leaving a dramatic mark on the area.

As we move into Sunday night, the possibility of isolated showers remains. However, we can look forward to a respite from the rain as dry conditions are expected to settle in shortly afterward.

Isolated showers linger through portions of Sunday night before we find some dry time.

A cold front will bring a cooler day Monday and breezy northeasterly winds.

Some lingering moisture looks to flare up, bringing isolated light rain showers at times Monday through early Tuesday.

Cooler air works in through midweek, bringing morning lows in the 50s and highs only in the 60s and 70s.

A coastal low developing south of our area will reinforce northeast winds midweek and bring opportunities for light showers late Wednesday through early Friday.

Open Heaven 6 April 2026 – Fire Carriers (1)

Open Heaven 6 April 2026 Monday Daily Devotional By Pastor E. A. Adeboye – Fire Carriers (1)

Open Heaven 6 April 2026 TOPIC – Fire Carriers (1)

MEMORISE: But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the Lord, that we may enquire of the Lord by him? And one of the king of Israel’s servants answered and said, Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat, which poured water on the hands of Elijah. – 2 Kings 3:11 (KJV)

READ: 2 Kings 2:1-14 (KJV)

1 And it came to pass, when the Lord would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.

2 And Elijah said unto Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee; for the Lord hath sent me to Bethel. And Elisha said unto him, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Bethel.

3 And the sons of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Lord will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he said, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.

4 And Elijah said unto him, Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee; for the Lord hath sent me to Jericho. And he said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they came to Jericho.

5 And the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho came to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that the Lord will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he answered, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.

6 And Elijah said unto him, Tarry, I pray thee, here; for the Lord hath sent me to Jordan. And he said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And they two went on.

7 And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood to view afar off: and they two stood by Jordan.

8 And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided hither and thither, so that they two went over on dry ground.

9 And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.

10 And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so.

11 And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.

12 And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.

13 He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan;

14 And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the Lord God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Samuel 17-19

Open Heaven 6 April 2026 MESSAGE

When a piece of wood is set on fire, it burns. Similarly, a fellow who has given his or her life to Jesus Christ can burn for Him, and the fire that burns in such a believer is the power of the Holy Spirit.

There are two ways by which a believer can catch fire: directly from God, just like Moses and Elijah, or through other people who have caught the fire of God and have become fire carriers. For example, Joshua received his fire from Moses (Deuteronomy 34:9), and Elisha received his from Elijah (1 Kings 19:19). Joshua was called Moses’ servant (Joshua 1:1), and wherever Moses went, he was there to serve him. While Joshua served Moses faithfully, the latter laid his hands on him, and he received the spirit of wisdom. If you feel like you are too important to serve those whom God has placed over you, it means that you are not ready to carry the fire of God. Serving Moses could not have been easy, but Joshua willingly paid the price. In Exodus 24:13-18, the Bible says that he went with Moses to Mount Sinai, where they stayed for 40 days and nights. He served Moses wholeheartedly, and when Moses laid his hands upon him, he transferred all the honour and grace he had to him (Numbers 27:18-23). This is why, as a child of God, you must honour those whom God has placed over you.

Elisha was another person who received God’s fire through honour and service. People knew him as the man who poured water on Elijah’s hands (2 Kings 3:11). Despite his wealthy background, he was willing to stoop very low to honour and serve God’s prophet, Elijah. While the other sons of the prophets were busy predicting what would happen to Elijah (2 Kings 2:3), Elisha was busy following the man of God and serving him. Eventually, he received a double portion of the anointing that was upon Elijah.

Beloved, if you want to be a carrier of the fire of God, you must serve Him wholeheartedly and be willing to also serve and honour the anointed people He has placed over your life. I pray for you today: may you never become too proud to honour and serve those whom God has placed over your life. In the name above every other name, you will carry the fire of God upon your life and do mighty exploits in His kingdom.

Open Heaven 6 April 2026 KEY POINT

Serving and honouring the people whom God has placed over you is a channel through which you can receive His fire.

Open Heaven 6 April 2026 HYMN 7 – I Am Thine O Lord

1 l am Thine, O Lord
I have heard Thy voice,
And it told Thy love to me;
But long to rise in the arms of faith
And be closer drawn to Thee.

Chorus:
Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died.
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer bless Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.

2 Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
By the power of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.

3 Oh the pure delight of a single hour
That before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee,
my God
I commune as friend with friend!

4 There are depths of love
that I cannot know
Till I cross the narrow sea;
There are heights of joy
that I may not reach
Till I rest in peace with Thee.

DCLM Daily Manna 6 April 2026 — Go Near, And Join Them

DCLM Daily Manna 6 April 2026 Devotional by Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — Go Near, And Join Them

TOPIC: Go Near, And Join Them (DCLM Daily Manna 6 April 2026)

KEY VERSE: Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot – Acts 8:29

TEXT: Acts 8:25-30 (KJV)

25 And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.

26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.

27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,

28 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.

29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.

30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?

DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE:

Some Christians often face a dilemma over how to navigate between the need to ensure they are not compromised by the world’s systems and practices and Jesus’ demand that they preach the gospel to every creature. Unable to find a lasting balance, they distance themselves from unbelievers, including religious people, and in the process, they become ineffective in evangelism.

Philip, who had lately had a highly successful ministry in Samaria, was suddenly given marching orders by the angel of the Lord to head quickly to the Gaza desert. He responded promptly, only to face a lonely but prominent foreign traveller, the treasurer of Candace, Queen of Ethiopia. He had come to worship in Jerusalem, in what could today be termed a pilgrimage. He was now on his way back to his country, and in his chariot, he was engrossed in the book of Isaiah. It took Philip’s prompting from the Spirit of God to approach the man in the chariot. Philip ran promptly to the man. His next move was a master stroke, as he quickly struck up a conversation with the man by questioning whether he understood what he was reading. We must follow the leading of the Spirit of God at all times.

We must also heed His instructions and guidance, even if what He asks us to do seems incomprehensible. Our responsibility is not only to the obvious sinners, but also to the religious people who possess a form of godliness even though they lack the power to live to please God. We must wisely draw near to such people to observe happenings around them, to discern their concerns and worries, and to use them as the entry point into a fruitful discussion on their need for salvation in Christ.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
For the believer, reaching out to the unsaved often entails going out of his way.

Rising Concerns: Super-K Flu’s Rapid Spread Alarms Health Experts Worldwide

0

in brief

  • More than 1,700 people died in Australia last year after getting the flu, making it the worst flu season on record.
  • The flu vaccines are available now with April and May regarded as the ideal window to get protection before the worst of the flu season.

Health professionals specializing in infectious diseases are sounding the alarm and strongly recommending flu vaccinations for all, as a new flu variant, dubbed subclade K or the Super-K flu, spreads rapidly. This strain is proving particularly concerning due to its swift transmission among the community.

Statistics reveal that individuals over the age of 50 are at heightened risk from this aggressive variant. The urgency of the situation is underscored by the numbers seen last year when Australia recorded over 500,000 flu cases. Alarmingly, more than 24,000 cases have already been reported this year, despite the traditional flu season peak still being on the horizon.

Last year’s flu season was notably severe, with 1,738 fatalities, marking it as the deadliest on record for the nation. In response, Paul Griffin, the Director of Infectious Diseases at the Mater Hospital in Brisbane, emphasizes the critical need for flu vaccinations. He insists that immunization is a vital step in safeguarding against the potential impacts of the Super-K flu.

A total of 1,738 people died in Australia last year after getting the flu, making it the worst flu season on record.

Director of Infectious Diseases at the Mater in Brisbane, Paul Griffin, said everyone should get a flu vaccination for protection against Super-K.

He explained that the vaccine has been updated to give better coverage against the emerging strain compared to last year’s one.

“As we do every year, we’ve updated that vaccine, we’ve included different types of flu that should give us the best protection to what we’re expecting to see,” he told SBS News.

“So, perhaps this year is more important than ever to get your flu vaccine because it has been updated accordingly.”

Griffin said the case numbers are higher than they should be because vaccination rates have fallen since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“They’re very concerning figures and part of that will be the emergence of subclade K or Super-K but also a big part of that will be under-vaccination,” he said.

“And while we can’t control the flu itself, what we can control is the magnitude of disease we see as a result by increasing vaccination as well as by trying to reduce transmission.”

Misinformation and disinformation about vaccines is partly responsible for the low immunisation figures, he added.

This strain is ‘genetically altered’

Infectious diseases paediatrician Robert Booy from the University of Sydney has told Channel 9 the Super-K form of the flu is a public health threat because it spreads very easily.

“The influenza K subclade is genetically altered so that it spreads much more easily. It isn’t more severe but because you get so many more cases, you see more severe cases simply because of numbers.”

Last year, 60.5 per cent of those aged 65 or over were vaccinated while 32.3 per cent of people between the ages of 50 and 65 had been immunised.

Vaccines medical director of vaccine maker CSL Seqirus, Jules Bayliss, told Channel 7 it’s the over 50s who are the most vulnerable.

“They are at greater risk of disease and they’re also at risk of not responding as well to vaccination.”

Griffin encouraged people to speak to GPs and pharmacists for up-to-date health advice for this year’s flu season.

“People who are unwell should stay home, for example, and those who are vulnerable, or really ill, should also tested and get antivirals,” he said.

“If we get that right, not matter what the season brings, we’ll see a less severe impact from it.”

The flu vaccines are available now with April and May regarded as the ideal window to get protection before the worst of the flu season.

Meghan Markle Offers a Glimpse into Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet’s Easter Celebrations: Bunny Ears, Egg Hunts, and More


On Easter Sunday, Meghan Markle delighted her social media followers with a heartwarming peek into her family’s holiday celebrations. The Duchess shared a series of charming videos on Instagram, capturing the joyful spirit of her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, as they enjoyed the festive day together.

Markle’s posts featured six-year-old Archie and four-year-old Lilibet, whom she shares with Prince Harry, as they eagerly participated in an Easter egg hunt. Lilibet looked particularly festive in her pink bunny ears and coordinating dress, embodying the spirit of the holiday. The siblings were seen racing through the grass, enthusiastically searching for eggs.

In another endearing moment, the video showed the children strolling along a garden path, accompanied by a playful dog. Adding to the Easter charm, Lilibet was spotted holding a plush bunny, while Archie was busy decorating an Easter egg with a unique toy called “The Dinomazing Egg Decorator.”

Markle, 44, kept her message simple yet festive, captioning the delightful post with a heartfelt “Happy Easter!”

Markle, 44, captioned her post simply, “Happy Easter!”

While Harry, 41, and Meghan enjoyed their family holiday in California, Prince William, Kate Middleton and their three children — Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis — attended Easter Service for the first time since 2023 in Windsor, England.

The Princess and Prince of Wales and their kids joined King Charles III and his wife, Queen Camilla, and other members of the royal family at St. George’s Chapel.

The Waleses chose to skip the Easter outings in 2024 and 2025, choosing to celebrate them privately elsewhere after Middleton, 44, revealed she was diagnosed with cancer.

Notably absent from the royal family holiday celebrations were former Prince Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, who were excluded from the royal family’s Easter celebration following his scandalous ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

The ex-royal — born Andrew Mountbatten Windsor — was photographed driving his Range Rover on the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, England, on Sunday. He also took his dogs for a walk.

Rhapsody Of Realities 6 April 2026: The Wonder Of Wonders

Rhapsody Of Realities 6 April 2026 By Pastor Chris Oyakhilome (Christ Embassy): The Wonder Of Wonders

TOPIC: The Wonder Of Wonders (Rhapsody of Realities 6 April 2026)

What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? (John 6:62).

Rhapsody Of Realities For Today’s MESSAGE:

Did you know that the biological siblings of the Lord Jesus didn’t believe in Him throughout His earthly ministry, even after His resurrection? But when He ascended before their very eyes, everything changed. The ascension was an undeniable confirmation of His divine origin and identity. It was the wonder of wonders.

He had told the Jews that His ascension would be the proof of who He truly was when they questioned His claim to be the Son of God. He said to them, “What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?” (John 6:62). He pointed them to the ascension as an unmistakable evidence of His deity.

After the resurrection, some disciples still doubted. But on the day of His ascension, and they watched as He suddenly levitated and was taken up into heaven in full view, they had no more argument. Every mouth was stopped. What a moment! The One who was crucified and buried, the very One they thought was dead, ascended bodily into heaven!

This was when His siblings believed that He was the Christ. They didn’t return home. They followed the disciples to the upper room and received the Holy Spirit, including Mary, their biological mother (read Acts 1:9-14).

Suddenly, they realised the One who ate with them, and lived under the same roof with them, was God Himself. His ascension seals His deity and assures us of His return. This was the wonder of wonders and remains a vital part of the Gospel and the Faith that we hold so dear.

PRAYER

How glorious you are, O Lord! My faith in you is eternal, for you’re the only true God, proven by your resurrection from the dead and glorious ascension into heaven, where you live forevermore. I proclaim your majesty and live with the consciousness that you reign forever as King of kings and Lord of lords. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY

Acts 1:9-11 (KJV) And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. [10] And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; [11] Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

Netanyahu Lauds Trump for Flawless Pilot Rescue Operation

0

In an expression of gratitude, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu commended US President Donald Trump following the successful rescue of an F-15 airman by American special forces. The airman had been stranded behind enemy lines in Iran.

The incident began when an F-15 jet, carrying both the airman and a pilot, was shot down over a remote Iranian region on Friday.

While the pilot safely ejected and was retrieved by two military helicopters on the same day, the airman’s whereabouts remained unknown for nearly two days.

Taking refuge in a mountain crevice armed only with a handgun, the airman awaited a complex rescue mission to bring him to safety.

Netanyahu took to social media on Sunday evening to convey his appreciation, stating, “I spoke with President [Trump] to personally commend him on his courageous decision and the flawlessly executed American mission to rescue the downed pilot from hostile ground.” His message was shared on X.

The Israeli leader added that Trump had ‘expressed his appreciation for Israel’s help.’

‘I am deeply proud that our cooperation on and off the battlefield is unprecedented, and that Israel could contribute to saving a brave American warrior,’ Netanyahu wrote.

Trump wrote Sunday on Truth Social that the rescued service member, who was a ‘highly respected Colonel,’ had been ‘seriously wounded’ but was now safe.

In an interview with Axios, Trump revealed the airman had given a message of, ‘Power be to God.’

Trump told the outlet: ‘What he said on the radio sounded like something a Muslim would say.’

He added that US officials believed the airman may have been captured by Iran and that the Iranians had been ‘sending false signals’ to create a trap.

A US defense official who spoke with Axios confirmed Trump’s account and said the exact phrase used by the airman was ‘God is good.’

Other military personnel who know the airman added that he was a religious person and that it would have made sense for him to say that, Trump said.

US Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed the F–15 pilot and airman had been recovered safely on Sunday afternoon.

‘On April 4, U.S. forces successfully completed the rescues of two American service members from Iran after their F–15E fighter jet was shot down April 2 during a combat mission,’ CENTCOM said.

‘The service members were safely recovered during separate search and rescue missions. U.S. strikes into Iran continue as U.S. Central Command forces dismantle the Iranian regime’s ability to project power beyond its borders.’

Trump had touted the operation as ‘one of the most daring Search and Rescue Operations in U.S. History.’

The president issued a threat against Iran on Sunday, as attacks on the country carry on.

‘Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran,’ Trump posted on Truth Social.

‘There will be nothing like it!!! Open the F***in’ Strait, you crazy b*****ds, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah,’ he wrote.

Trump’s post came just days after US–Israeli airstrikes destroyed Iran’s tallest bridge, killing eight people.

The B1 bridge, which links Tehran to the western city of Karaj, was targeted in two strikes on Thursday.

Trump previously said he would bomb the Iranian capital ‘back to the Stone Age,’ which was echoed by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on X.

The second attack on the 136–meter structure took place while rescue forces were at the scene helping at least 95 injured people, Iranian state media claimed.

Trump has claimed that the Iranian people want the US to unleash its military power on the country.

He has warned Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz and reach a deal to reopen the trade route by Tuesday evening or face further consequences.

‘If they don’t come through, if they want to keep it closed, they’re going to lose every power plant and every other plant they have in the whole country,’ Trump told the Wall Street Journal on Sunday.

‘If they don’t do something by Tuesday evening, they won’t have any power plant and they won’t have any bridges standing,’ he added.

When asked if he was concerned about Iran’s 93 million citizens suffering if the installations were struck, Trump responded: ‘No, they want us to do it.’

‘The only reason they’re not on the street is they’ve killed 45,000 people,’ Trump said of the Iranian regime. ‘When they go in the street, they get shot.’

Donna Mills Claps Back at Makeup Critics with Confidence and Humor: Embracing Beauty Her Way

On Sunday, Donna Mills offered her fans a rare glimpse into her personal world by addressing critics who have commented on her appearance. The 85-year-old star of “Knots Landing” decided to respond creatively and candidly to the scrutiny she’s faced regarding her use of makeup.

Mills took to Instagram to share a transformation video that revealed the dedication she applies to maintaining her looks. This playful yet pointed video was a response to a comment she received on a previous post, in which a user remarked, “You wear too much makeup for your age ♡.”

The video begins with Mills appearing as her typically glamorous and youthful self. But with a snap of her fingers, she transitions into a version of herself that is makeup-free, showcasing her natural, graying hair.

The shift was striking, as the absence of makeup made her appear significantly older, illustrating the transformative power of cosmetics and the effort she invests in her appearance.

It was a night-and-day change, with the actress instantly looking years — if not decades — older in her natural state.

‘Oh, this comment,’ Mills said as she pointed up at the comment on screen.

She was dressed like Olivia Newton-John at the end of Grease, with a black leather biker jacket, a black blouse with a lacy neckline and blue jeans.

Mills also sported what appeared to be a wavy blond shoulder-length wig, and she wore her standard makeup look, which gave her eyes a particularly striking quality.

She let out a playful laugh and added, ‘I guess I didn’t get the memo,’ before snapping her fingers and instantly transforming into her makeup-free self. 

Instead of thick blond hair, she now had a mass of dark hair with snow-white strands in front that were swept back. 

Mills’s previously smooth visage now betrayed lines on her forehead and wrinkles on her upper lip, though they were still impressively shallow for her age. 

She seemed to have fun playing up her aged appearance by wearing slim gold metallic-frame glasses that dropped down her nose, and she swapped out the youthful leather jacket for a frilly white blouse and a string of pearls that also made her look older. 

‘Did you want me to look like this?’ Mills asked with a chuckle.

‘Sorry,’ she added, before whispering, ‘Not sorry.’

Mills reverted to her original punk-chic style and fully made-up face to conclude the video.

‘I like the way I look,’ she defended herself.

‘This is my style,’ Mills continued. ‘And style doesn’t have an expiration date, does it?’ 

In her caption, she wrote, ‘I said what I said 🤍 #style #aging #makeup #clapback #armchairwarrior.’ 

Her fans were overwhelmingly supportive in the comments, with several complimenting her style, while others slammed the original comment that set her off for being rude.

‘You are stunning and your makeup is beautiful!’ gushed one fan. ‘Love your response and the graciousness along with it! Thats why you exude being a Lady [sic]!’ 

Another user agreed, writing, ‘You look beautiful! Never change ❤️.’

‘You tell ’em! You look absolutely stunning & you are 100% correct…no expiration date! You rock! 🩷💜🩷,’ wrote one fan.

One person simply commented, ‘Mic drop! 🤍,’ while another wrote that Mills was ‘Eternally Sensational’ while wishing her a ‘Happy Easter.’

Another fan suggested that the original comment was likely the work of an ‘unhappy’ person.

‘You look amazing unhappy people say unhappy things keep shining @thedonnamills 💕💜💙 I always tell people you’re even More beautiful in person and up close 🩵💕💄💯💚💜🩷💖❤️💝,’ they wrote in the comments section.

Mills has been a regular on TV going back to her 1966 debut on the CBS soap opera The Secret Storm, and she made her feature theatrical debut the following year in the neo-noir thriller The Incident. 

Although she continued to appear in films throughout her career, she’s best known for her role as the main antagonist, Abby Cunningham, on the Dallas spin-off Knots Landing, on which she starred from 1980 to 1989, though she returned years later for the 1993 season finale and a subsequent reunion miniseries.

The show’s popularity helped make her instantly identifiable makeup look a hit with fans, and she revealed in August at the Southfork Experience: Knots Landing Panel that she was once given the opportunity to film a tutorial for Universal Pictures, long before makeup tutorials were a thing.

‘People kept writing to me. At that time, you couldn’t text or do any of that stuff,’ Mills said, via People. ‘But they were writing to me and saying, “Tell me how you do your eye makeup. I need to know how you do your eye makeup and everything.”

‘I said, “Why don’t I just do a video about it and show them?” And so I did,’ she continued. ‘I got a whole production crew. I shot at my house. All on my own dime. And then I thought, I can’t distribute it. I don’t have the wherewithal to do that, so I took it to Universal, and they bought it, and they distributed it and it went platinum.’

Tragic Easter Sunday Shooting in NYC Leaves One Dead, Another Fighting for Life

Tragedy struck on Easter Sunday when a young man lost his life and another was critically injured after a gunman opened fire on a Brooklyn street. The shocking incident, captured on surveillance video, has left the community reeling as authorities continue their investigation.

The NYPD responded to an emergency call shortly before 6 p.m., arriving at the scene on Fulton Street, nestled between Cleveland and Elton Street in Cypress Hills. There, they found two men, ages 30 and 50, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.

Both victims, whose identities have not been released, were rushed to Brookdale University Medical Center. Sadly, the 30-year-old succumbed to his injuries, while the older man remains in critical condition, police confirmed.

Authorities have detained a person of interest in connection with the shooting, offering a glimmer of hope for answers in the wake of this senseless act.

Video footage obtained by The Post reveals the moments leading up to the shooting, showing two men standing on the sidewalk under the elevated J train subway platform, near a small group of individuals.

Moments after one of the men appears to say something to the crew, a man in a gray jacket and light pants whips out a gun and chillingly fires several shots at him and the other man he was standing near, according to the clip.

The shooter continued to pump bullets into the victims even as they lay motionless on the sidewalk, the disturbing footage showed.

One man dressed in dark clothing and white sneakers started walking away from the group the moment the shooter took out the gun.

Photos later captured stunned onlookers at the scene as authorities swarmed the area and marked a large number of shell casings.

It is unclear what sparked the gunfire or the men’s affiliation with each other. The investigation remains ongoing, authorities said.
