 //"Earn Nearly $14,000 Annually with $100,000 Investment in These 4 High-Yield Stocks"//

  

For those looking to generate passive income, investing $100,000 across four high-yield stocks can provide an estimated $14,000 per year in dividends. These stocks are ideal for investors with a higher risk tolerance, offering substantial quarterly payouts. The stocks include BlackRock TCP Capital, FS KKR Capital Corp., Mach Natural Resources, and TXO Partners, all of which focus on debt investments, energy production, and oil & gas operations. Each offers a dividend yield of over 12%, making them solid options for building income streams alongside more conservative investments. However, these stocks are best suited for those seeking growth and income, rather than guaranteed stability.

//"Thailand Makes History as First Southeast Asian Nation to Legalize Same-Sex Marriage"//

Thailand has become the first Southeast Asian country to legalize same-sex marriage, a historic milestone for LGBTQ+ rights in the region. Hundreds of couples celebrated by tying the knot at events nationwide, including a mass wedding at Bangkok’s Siam Paragon mall. The landmark legislation grants same-sex couples full legal, financial, and adoption rights, marking a triumph after over a decade of advocacy. 

Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra hailed the law as a step toward embracing diversity and equal rights. Among the newlyweds were Police Sergeant Major Pisit Sirihiranchai and his partner, alongside others from various backgrounds. Celebrations included rainbow carpets, confetti, and performances by drag queens and celebrities. 

While the law is a significant victory, advocates stress that progress for transgender rights, including legal gender identity changes, remains a critical next step. Thailand joins Taiwan and Nepal as one of only three Asian nations recognizing same-sex marriage, offering a model for global equality campaigns.

//Uncertainty Surrounds TikTok's Return to U.S. App Stores: What Happens If Updates Are Blocked?//  



TikTok faces continued uncertainty in the U.S. after a temporary shutdown on January 18, 2025, following a Supreme Court ruling mandating its separation from its China-based owner, ByteDance. Although service was restored, TikTok remains unavailable for download or updates on U.S. app stores due to concerns over legal repercussions. Apple and Google have yet to reinstate TikTok, citing potential fines and legal risks if the ban is enforced. Without updates, the app could degrade over time, leaving users without new features or bug fixes, potentially affecting functionality and user experience. The situation may remain unresolved until ByteDance sells its U.S. assets or until Trump’s executive order expires in April 2025.


//"Saudi Arabia to Invest $600 Billion in U.S. Over Four Years, Aims for Unprecedented Economic Growth"//  



Saudi Arabia plans to invest $600 billion in expanded trade and investment with the United States over the next four years, according to a statement from Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The announcement came during a phone call with U.S. President Donald Trump, who praised the expected economic reforms that could lead to significant prosperity. While the details of the funding—whether public or private—remain unclear, the investment may increase further if more opportunities arise. Trump's close ties with Saudi Arabia were highlighted by a previous $2 billion investment in a firm linked to his son-in-law, Jared Kushner. Trump also mentioned considering Saudi Arabia as his first foreign visit if the kingdom agreed to purchase $500 billion in American products.

April 28, 2025. In the heart of Gaza, where humanity once thrived amid hardship, a grim campaign of starvation, daily airstrikes, and mass civilian deaths has turned an already dire situation into one of the worst humanitarian crises of our time. This tragedy, unfolding without pause, is not an accident—it is what UN officials and human rights groups now call “deprivation by design.” As bombs rain down and food supplies vanish, Israel's systematic blockade and military assault are wiping out families, destroying homes, and pushing over two million people to the brink of famine.
