President Trump is vowing to impose 100-percent tariffs on Russia if there's no peace deal in Ukraine in 50 days. While meeting with the NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte [[ RUH-tuh ]], Trump also announced a new deal to sell top of the line weaponry to NATO, including defensive Patriot missiles, meant for distribution in Ukraine. Trump had been blaming "both sides" for the continued war in Ukraine, but lately has been putting most of it on President Putin, adding he thought he had a deal in place about four times.        A deadly fire at a nursing home in Fall River, Massachusetts killed at least nine people and inured dozens more. That's according to the city's fire chief. The blaze was reported Sunday night at the Gabriel House assisted living facility.        Former President Biden says he "made every decision" on his own when defending his use of an autopen while in office. Biden made the comments in an interview with the New York Times. During his final weeks as President, Biden granted clemency and pardoned over 15-hundred people.        The man charged in the June 1st fire attack against a pro-Israeli group has a hearing Tuesday. Mohamed Soliman is accused of killing one person and injuring more than a dozen after throwing Molotov cocktails at a crowd marching in support of Israeli hostages being held by Hamas in Boulder. The preliminary hearing will determine whether the state has enough evidence to move forward.        A wildfire has destroyed the historic Grand Canyon Lodge at the North Rim in Arizona. The Dragon Bravo Fire has consumed five-thousand acres since lightning started the flames on Independence Day. The lodge originally opened in 1937 and was the only lodging inside the park at the North Rim.        The value of Bitcoin is surging as the House prepares to take up crypto legislation this week. The price of one bitcoin rose to 122-thousand-dollars Monday morning and later fell to around 119-thousand-700-dollars. Bitcoin has been setting new records over the past week with the House poised to move the GENIUS Act, the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act and the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act.
