Trump says Americans could reach ‘breaking point’
Former US president Donald Trump has said he would accept home confinement or jail time after his historic conviction by a New York jury last week, but that it would be tough for the public to accept and they would reach a “breaking point”. “I’m not sure the public would stand for it,” the Republican presidential candidate told Fox News in an interview that aired on Sunday. “I think it’d be tough for the public to take. You know, at a certain point, there’s a breaking point.” Trump did not elaborate on what he thought might happen if that point is reached. He is scheduled to be sentenced on July 11, four days before Republicans gather to formally choose their presidential nominee to face Democratic President Joe Biden in November’s election. Asked what Trump supporters should do if he were jailed, Republic National Committee Co-Chair Lara Trump told CNN: “Well, they’re gonna do what they’ve done from the beginning, which is remain calm and protest at the ballot box on November 5th.” “There’s nothing to do other than make your voices heard loud and clear and speak out against this.” Trump has used his conviction to step up his fundraising efforts but has not otherwise sought to mobilize his supporters, in contrast to his comments protesting his 2020 loss to Biden which were followed by an attack by his supporters on the US Capitol on January 6 2021. The RNC and the Trump campaign raised $70 million in the 48 hours after the verdict, Lara Trump said, a figure that Reuters was not able to independently verify. Asked how much would be used to pay legal fees versus running the campaign, she declined to say. At least one Democratic lawmaker expressed concern on Sunday about the potential for Trump’s supporters to respond violently to his conviction. “His base listens to him. They don’t listen to Lara Trump. And this is another dangerous appeal to violence,” Democratic US Representative Adam Schiff told CNN. But US House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Trump ally, said any response must be lawful. “We are the rule of law party — chaos is not a conservative value. We have to fight back and we will with everything in our arsenal. But we do that within the confines of the rule of law,” Johnson told Fox News on Sunday. Trump has vowed to appeal his conviction by the New York jury, which found him guilty of 34 felony counts over falsifying documents to cover up a payment to silence a porn star ahead of the 2016 election. The matter is unlikely to be resolved before the November presidential election, when he will seek to take back the White House from Biden. Opinion polls show a close race between the two men and suggest that his conviction could hurt him with some Republican voters and independents. Trump attorney Will Scharf told ABC News’ “This Week” that he does not expect Trump to “end up being subject to any sentence whatsoever” and planned to ultimately take the case to the Supreme Court. Trump still faces three other criminal cases, although they are unlikely to come to trial before the election. He denies wrongdoing in all the cases and has called the charges a Democratic conspiracy to prevent him from competing. Biden, meanwhile, has sought to defend the nation’s justice system, saying it is “reckless” and “dangerous” to call the verdict “rigged.” The US Justice Department denies any political interference.
Pakistani Pilgrims Advised to Take Heatstroke Precautions During Hajj
The Pakistan Hajj Mission (PHM) on Tuesday advised Pakistani pilgrims to take all necessary precautions against heatstroke during the Hajj days, following a severe heat warning from the Saudi National Centre for Meteorology. This year’s Hajj is scheduled for June 14 to June 19, coinciding with peak summer temperatures, raising concerns for the well-being of millions of pilgrims in Makkah. “We urge Pakistani pilgrims to avoid sun exposure, especially during the five Hajj days in Mashair from 8-12 Zilhaj. Drink plenty of water, preferably Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS), use umbrellas, and stay in air-cooled or air-conditioned tents and shaded areas,” the PHM Head/Director General (Hajj) told APP. He emphasized that despite the Pakistani government’s thorough arrangements for transport, accommodation, and catering in Mina, Arafat, and Muzdalfa, the tent villages will not offer homelike comfort. “It will be challenging amidst millions of people and hot weather conditions, so be prepared,” he cautioned. The PHM head noted that around 2.5 million pilgrims, including 179,210 from Pakistan, would perform Hajj this year. He highlighted that the Mission, along with doctors, nurses, paramedics, and local and Pakistan-based mouavineen, are working round-the-clock to provide maximum support to the pilgrims.

Indian and Pakistani cricketers band together for USA’s T20 World Cup dream
For the best part of the last century, the world of cricket attempted to reignite a love for the game that was officially played for the first time in New York City in the 19th century. Cricket began in the United States earlier than in any other part of the world, according to archived references. Now, the sport is making its way back to the US by handing it the co-hosting rights for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. Lining up under the country’s stars and stripes flag will be 15 men who call the US home, but come from diverse backgrounds. Eleven of the 15 belong to the bustling South Asian community of Indian and Pakistani heritage. The two South Asian nations may be bitter rivals, but the acrimony goes out of the window when the players get together in the Team USA dressing room. “The respect is evident,” USA’s coach Stuart Law tells Al Jazeera. “They [players] are not representing India or Pakistan – or West Indies or South Africa – they are all fighting for the stars and stripes and they just want to put on a good show for the American people,” Law said. “We are all from different backgrounds and cultures, but you wouldn’t know it,” he said. USA will be led by India-born Monank Patel, while their standout pacer is Pakistan-born Ali Khan. The squad also boasts a former New Zealand superstar Corey Anderson who is known for his power-hitting and his record-breaking innings in 2014, when he set a new world record for the fastest one-day international (ODI) while still a New Zealand player. An opportunity to ignite cricket’ Incidentally, the USA have been drawn against both Pakistan and India in their T20 World Cup group. Law, a former Australian international, says his job will be to remind the players to do well for the US against their countries of birth or of their ancestors. The 55-year-old believes that if the cricket team are able to make “the people of America” see and enjoy their success, they would have done “a really good job”. “It’s an opportunity to put on a real show to ignite [an interest in] cricket in this country,” Law said. The former West Indies, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka coach took on the USA job a few weeks before the tournament but that has not stopped him from looking into the future of cricket in the North American country. “The icing on the cake would be to have, in five to 10 years, an American-born, -raised and -trained squad playing for the USA. That would be an absolute dream come true.” Law was initially brought in to help with the selection of the side but his role was gradually expanded until his appointment in April. He admits that “there isn’t much structure” to how the players get together to train. “If they want to go and hit balls, they need to get together and organise it themselves,” he revealed. “They are basically semiprofessional players – a lot of them still have jobs so they play cricket when [they are] available or when the team needs them to. “But to watch them be more professional than some of the out-and-out professionals I’ve seen work before was a pleasant surprise.” The USA cannot be expected to pull too many surprises against the likes of India and Pakistan, but they did manage to shock another strong South Asian side in the weeks leading up to the World Cup. The co-hosts beat Bangladesh 2-1 in their three-match T20 series. Law knows his team “are not going to lift the trophy at the end of the World Cup”, but says it would be great if they can “cause a few scares” in their four group matches. The other two teams in USA’s Group A are Ireland, another full member of the ICC, and their northern neighbours Canada, against whom they open their campaign and the tournament on June 1. It was against the same opponents that USA played their first recorded cricket match more than a century ago and lost. A memorable win in a rematch in the heart of the South Asian community in Texas that inaugurates their first ICC World Cup tournament may just be the fire that cricket in the US needs. Three players to watch Corey Anderson: For the USA to capture Anderson was a massive coup given the powerful batter’s reputation with New Zealand. The left-hander broke the then-world record for the quickest ODI century in 2014, when he brought up the milestone off only 36 balls. The 33-year-old, who moved to the US in 2021 where he has been a regular in Major League Cricket, has only recently qualified for the national team. Monak Patel: Captain, wicketkeeper and a stalwart of Team USA, Patel will be a vital cog in their performances. Born in Gujarat, India, the 31-year-old represented his state at under-16 and under-19 levels before moving to the US, for whom he made his debut in 2018. Ali Khan: The fast bowler’s 3-25 against Bangladesh helped seal the three-match series and earned him the player of the match award. The 33-year-old was born in Punjab, Pakistan and has enjoyed a long and established career in the Pakistan Super League and earned a contract in the Indian Premier League with Kolkata Knight Riders.

How to Make a Homemade Juicy Beef Burger
Introduction Craving a delicious, juicy beef burger but don’t want to head out to a restaurant? Making a mouthwatering beef burger at home is easier than you think! With a few simple ingredients and some key tips, you can create a burger that rivals your favorite burger joint. Follow this step-by-step guide to make the perfect homemade juicy beef burger. Ingredients Here’s what you’ll need: For the Beef Patties: 1 lb (450g) ground beef (80% lean, 20% fat) Salt and pepper to taste 1 tsp garlic powder (optional) 1 tsp onion powder (optional) For the Burger Assembly: Burger buns Lettuce Tomato slices Onion slices Pickles Cheese slices (optional) Condiments (ketchup, mustard, mayo, etc.) Step-by-Step Instructions 1. Prepare the Beef Patties: Choose the Right Beef: For the juiciest burgers, use ground beef with an 80/20 ratio (80% lean, 20% fat). The fat adds flavor and juiciness. Season the Beef: In a large bowl, season the ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat. Form the Patties: Divide the beef mixture into equal portions (typically 4-6 oz per patty). Gently shape each portion into a patty, about ¾ inch thick. Make a small indent in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up during cooking. 2. Cook the Beef Patties: Grilling: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the patties on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side for medium doneness. Avoid pressing down on the patties to retain the juices. Pan-Frying: Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of oil, then cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side. 3. Toast the Buns: For added flavor and texture, toast the burger buns on the grill or in the skillet for 1-2 minutes until golden brown. 4. Assemble the Burgers: Bottom Bun: Start with the bottom half of the bun. Add Condiments: Spread your favorite condiments on the bun. Lettuce and Tomato: Place a lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato on the bun. Beef Patty: Add the cooked beef patty on top of the veggies. Cheese (optional): If using cheese, place a slice on the hot patty to melt. Onion and Pickles: Add slices of onion and pickles. Top Bun: Finish with the top half of the bun. 5. Serve and Enjoy: Serve your homemade juicy beef burger with your favorite side dishes like fries, salad, or coleslaw. Enjoy your delicious creation! Tips for the Perfect Burger Don’t Overmix the Meat: Gently mix the seasonings into the ground beef to avoid a tough texture. Indent the Patties: Making a small indent in the center of each patty helps keep them flat as they cook. Avoid Pressing the Patties: Pressing down on the patties while cooking squeezes out the juices and results in a drier burger. Rest the Patties: Let the cooked patties rest for a couple of minutes before assembling the burgers to retain the juices. Conclusion Making a juicy beef burger at home is not only satisfying but also allows you to customize it to your taste. With these simple steps, you can create a restaurant-quality burger right in your kitchen. Give it a try and impress your family and friends with your burger-making skills!
