A major boating tragedy unfolded Tuesday afternoon in San Francisco Bay near Alcatraz Island when a three-deck pontoon pleasure boat carrying 19 people capsized and sank about 600 yards from the island.
What happened:
1 person died after being rescued from the water and later succumbing to injuries.
2 people remain missing, prompting an extensive search by the U.S. Coast Guard and local emergency agencies.
16 people were rescued, with several treated for injuries and at least three transported to hospitals.
A dog aboard the boat also died.
Initial 911 calls reported a boat fire, but responders later determined there was no evidence of a fire. Instead, they found the vessel mostly submerged and leaking fuel. The cause of the capsizing remains under investigation.
The rescue involved helicopters, rescue boats, divers, and nearby vessels. Officials say San Francisco Bay’s cold water, strong currents, and rough conditions make rescues especially challenging, and the search for the missing passengers is ongoing.

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump’s Thursday Evening ‘Speech to the Nation’ will reportedly show newly declassified intelligence reports that reveal a foreign nation's plans to interfere in the 2020 presidential election.
The president will reportedly be joined by:
-CIA Director John Ratcliffe
-Acting DNI Bill Pulte
-FBI Director Kash Patel
-DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin
🚨 BREAKING: House Republicans are loading the SAVE America Act into critical must-pass bills headed to the Senate, but RINO games could kill it.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna just put Senate Leader John Thune on blast: Strip this voter integrity bill and the failure is 100% on you.
Luna fired back hard, Thune's team could pull procedural tricks like packing the amendment tree to rip SAVE out and block fixes. Same dirty playbook likely waiting for any other House bill carrying it.
"Blame falls solely on Leader John Thune."
This isn't optional. SAVE America demands proof of citizenship to register and photo ID to vote, ending the madness that lets non-citizens dilute American voices.
80% of the country backs it. Trump made it a top priority. No excuses.
No SAVE America Act = No deal. Time to expose who’s really fighting for secure elections.
JUST IN: President Trump teases his "very big announcement" that's set to be made to the nation on Thursday night.
"It's really big news. It's really, really big news. And our country has to shape up. But that's what we're going to be talking about Thursday... it doesn't get bigger, because without free and fair elections, you don't have a country."
🚨 HOLY CRAP: President Trump declares the U.S. will IMMEDIATELY END all trade talks with Canada after they moved to slap a Digital Services Tax on American tech companies. “We will let Canada know the Tariff that they will be paying to do business with the United States of America within the next seven day period.”
Trump wrote on Truth Social: “We have just been informed that Canada, a very difficult Country to TRADE with, including the fact that they have charged our Farmers as much as 400% Tariffs, for years, on Dairy Products, has just announced that they are putting a Digital Services Tax on our American Technology Companies, which is a direct and blatant attack on our Country.”
“They are obviously copying the European Union, which has done the same thing, and is currently under discussion with us, also. Based on this egregious Tax, we are hereby terminating ALL discussions on Trade with Canada, effective immediately. We will let Canada know the Tariff that they will be paying to do business with the United States of America within the next seven day period. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
FOLLOW ME, THE NEXT DROP WILL BE SHOCKING.
Not an accusation.. just food for thought.
In 1975, congressional hearings revealed that the CIA had developed a secret “heart attack gun.” The weapon could silently fire a tiny, toxin-laced dart up to 100 yards or more, striking the target without their knowledge. The poison was designed to dissipate quickly and leave no trace in standard toxicology reports—ensuring complete plausible deniability.
That was 50+ years ago it was admitted.. what do they have now?

@BoPolny@YouTube There aern't even hundreds of seats in the senate. I do believe something will happen but when will they finally announce McConnell dying?
🚨 UPDATE: Sen. Lindsey Graham was spotted in Ukraine barely 48 hours ago before his sudden death in Washington DC
Incredibly shocking turn of events.
Nobody watching him would have suspected something was seriously wrong 🙏🏻
I’ve always conducted myself as a professional with sacrosanct respect, but I have to get something off of my chest:
Right now, at this very moment, we don’t know the true status of Senator Mitch McConnell’s health (we wish him well)
& then we find out that Senator Lindsey Graham died from a “brief and sudden illness” after traveling to Ukraine & Turkey.
What the heck does that even mean?
A “brief and sudden illness” really turns my stomach
because if our Senate/gov’t cant be honest about the health of its colleagues,
then how can we even believe them about the deaths of its colleagues?
Alexander Dugin, one of Putin’s advisors, recently called for Senator Lindsey Graham to be killed. He said the world would be better without Graham.
Yesterday, Lindsey Graham was in Ukraine meeting with @ZelenskyyUa Zelensky and called for more sanctions against Russia and pledged more US support for Ukraine.
One day later, Lindsey Graham is dead.
There needs to be an investigation!
