Melania Trump’s absence ‘getting worse everyday’

By

During the inauguration of President Donald Trump, his wife, Melania Trump was by his side, but ever since, it isn’t clear if she’s spending any time in the White House.

The truth is that the First Lady has opened up about her stay in Washington D.C. following her husband’s win and told Fox News, “I will be in the White House. And you know when I need to be in New York, I will be in New York. When I need to be in Palm Beach, I will be in Palm Beach. But my first priority is, you know, to be a mom, to be a first lady, to be a wife. And once we are in on January 20, you serve the country.”

That her son Barron is her top priority isn’t something the public isn’t familiar with.

While Trump attended the Super Bowl and was the first ever sitting president to attend the game, Melania wasn’t by his side.

She, however, was seen accompanying her husband to Los Angeles last month, where she was seen comforting victims of the wildfires. A video clip of her posted on social media, in which she was heard speaking Slovenian to a woman, received widespread praise.

“Seeing Melania so much more involved this time around is amazing,” one user wrote, per the Irish Star. Another added: “When we speak to people in their native tongue they feel heard, they feel listened to, they feel the love! What an incredible First Lady.”

A third stated: “First Lady Melania Trump speaks her native language to comfort those devastated by the wildfires. Even in a ballcap Melania shows her beauty and grace.”

Melania Trump has been absent from the White House during Trump’s meetings with prime ministers and other influential political figures, and now a source claims that she’s busy filming her Amazon documentary, as per People Magazine.

The source said her absence from the spotlight shouldn’t come as a surprise, because “this is how she lives,” adding that she “will never be a traditional first lady” and has “her own ideas on what she wants to do.”

Melania has only been to the White House recently because the shooting she’s busy with required so.

“Melania has been busy shooting her documentary and that has taken place in several locations, including the White House,” a Miami political source told People.

The idea behind a documentary on her life came after her memoir titled Melania proved to be a huge success.

Speaking to Fox, the first lady said, “So I had an idea to make a movie, to make a film about my life. My life is incredible. It’s incredibly busy and I told my agent I have this idea so please go out and make a deal for me. We started the production in November and we are shooting right now. So it’s a day-to-day life. What I’m doing, what kind of responsibilities I have, people they don’t really know and they will see it.” 

As per the CNN, Melania attended the Governors Ball. However, she hasn’t undertaken any official First Lady duties.

“[Donald and Melania Trump] both live at Mar-a-Lago and have quarters in the White House,” the source said. “But she leads her own life and joins him when appropriate in either place,” adding that when she is in Palm Beach, she “keeps to herself” but does accompany Donald to dinner “on occasion.”

According to author Michael Wolff, who’s been critical of the president, Trump’s campaign staff “didn’t even know where Melania lived.”

“She doesn’t live with him. They spend very little time together. Whenever she’s at the White House or at Mar-a-Lago, it’s like she’s a guest. She basically lives in Trump Tower now,” he said on the Daily Beast’s podcast.

He concluded that at the Republican National Convention, Melania “would not sit next to him … Her one appearance on the last day was contingent on him not being in the VIP box.”

The president isn’t happy with authors and magazines writing of his relationship with his wife, threatening to sue those citing anonymous sources.

While Donald and Melania didn’t comment on Wolff’s accusations, Steven Cheung, the White House communications director, was clear about his opinion of the author. 

“Michael Wolff is a lying sack of s*** and has been proven to be a fraud. He routinely fabricates stories originating from his sick and warped imagination, only possible because he has a severe and debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has rotted his peanut-sized brain,” Cheung told Newsweek.

While many wonder where she is, Melania did make a public appearance on April 1 at the Women of Courage Award Ceremony.

She was welcomed with a loud applause, wearing a leopard-print dress.

Melania delivered a remark at the ceremony, saying: “Love has inspired me to embrace forgiveness, nurture empathy, and exhibit bravery in the face of unforeseen obstacles.

“Today, we celebrate courage — a strength that is based in love,”

The First Lady added: “We are honored to join an exceptional assembly of brave women who have shown their love and refuse to let fear or hardship define them. Their collective achievements and dedication move us all.”

Doctors identify the blood type most at risk for developing stomach cancer

By
Monica Pop
-

The exact reasons that lead to stomach cancer are not known, but researchers argue there are factors that increase the risks of developing it.

These factors include being older, being overweight, struggling with infections that are left untreated, and smoking, among the rest.

According to Cancer Research UK, “Infection with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) causes around 40 out of 100 (around 40%) stomach cancers in the UK.”

It is a bacteria that lives in the mucous which lines the stomach and spreads though contaminated food and water. For some people, this bacteria will not cause any issues, but for others it can cause inflammation and stomach ulcers, risk factors of developing stomach cancer.

Helicobacter Pylori/ Wikipedia

According to NHS, the early symptoms of stomach cancer are mild and hard to spot, usually because they are also related to other conditions. They include persistent indigestion and heartburn, rapped wind and frequent burping, feeling very full or bloated after meals, and persistent stomach pain.

Symptoms during more advance stages of stomach cancer may include blood in the stool, loss of appetite, and weigh loss.

However, when it comes to stomach cancer, research believe that certain blood types are more prone to this awful disease than others.

Findings of a recent research, those with the blood type A, B or AB could be dramatically more likely to develop some types of deadly cancer, Daily Mail reports.

The study conducted on 50,000 Iranians showed that those with type A, B or AB blood — around half the UK population — have a 55 per cent higher risk of developing stomach cancer, compared to those with the O type.

Other research suggests that those with the AB blood type had a 45 per cent higher chance of developing liver cancer. The same research found that people with O and AB blood types have a lower risk of pancreatic cancer. In the UK, O positive is the most common blood type, while AB negative is the rarest, making up only 1% of the population.

How and why the blood type is related to the risks of developing certain types of cancer is something researchers are yet to determine.

Austin Metcalf, 17, was tragically stabbed to death at a champions meet on April 2. Reportedly, he died in his twin’s brother’a arms.

Austin, who was a junior athlete at Frisco ISD’s Memorial High School in Texas, got into an argument with another student, allegedly over a seat, at the David Kuykendall Stadium, before the student stabbed Austin in the chest.

According to Austin’s father, his other son, Hunter, Austin’s twin brother, witnessed the incident and tried to help his brother, but nothing could be done.

Austin was pronounced dead at the hospital.

“They were twins, identical twins. And his brother was holding on to him, trying to make it stop bleeding, and he died in his brother’s arms,” the devastated father, Jeff Metcalf, told NBC Dallas-Fort Worth.

“I could see all the blood, and I saw where the wound was, and I was very concerned, so I had to find his brother, and we rushed to the hospital. And we prayed, and it’s God’s plan, I don’t understand it, but they weren’t able to save him.

“This is murder.”

Austin’s mother, Meghan Metcalf, recalled the tragic moment she received a call about her son being stabbed to death.

“[Hunter] was there when he was stabbed and he was holding the wound – he was trying to save his brother,” she told news outlet WFAA.

“I think he said he saw when he took his last breath before the CPR came back in. From what I heard, [Austin] was unresponsive for five minutes, they were able to revive him a little, but. It was too little, too late.”

Heartbroken Hunter added: “He didn’t deserve it. I know people that lose their family members all the time, but I just didn’t know it would be mine so soon. My best friend, my brother, my whole life.”

According to the family, Austin had never met the kid who stabbed him before.

The suspect was arrested and charged with first-degree murder.

We are so very sorry for this devastating loss.

The forgotten birthday: He turned 89, but no one called

By
Monica Pop
-

His 89th birthday rolled around. This day of the year, once filled with laughter, cakes, and chatter of loved ones was now just a distant memory of the life he once had.

The ravioli, still steaming, stood in front of him, but he couldn’t even take a bite. He remembered some happier times and couldn’t understand why the calls from his children and grandchildren became so rare, almost nonexistent. They did call and visited at the beginning, but now, they were all busy with their own lives and no one seemed to remember their old, fragile father.

“When they brought me here, they said it was for my own good,” he once told the nurse at the nursing home. “But I feel like I was left behind.”

Pexels

This old man wasn’t mad. He chose not to hold grudges – he simply felt sad that no one remembered him anymore, not even on his 89th birthday.

He knew all to well that his family was busy working. They all had hectic schedules, but still, he didn’t ask for much, a single phone call would be enough.

He was sitting all by himself, with the clatter of utensils against plates.

The truth is that this man’s story is just one thread in a vast tapestry of forgotten lives.

The loneliness of the elderly is a subject we sometimes tend to avoid because it makes us feel uncomfortable, forgetting that these people were once everything we had – the only people we could rely on, look upon, and trust.

Pexels

And now, they are surrounded by strangers, and that’s not what makes everything sad. The sad thing is that we don’t call them as often as we should and we don’t visit them as much as they expect.

It’s true that love moves fast, but we should never forget that our time with our parents and grandparents is running out.

One day, they’ll no longer be around, and we’ll miss them unconditionally. When that day comes, we’ll understand that we could do more, but it would be too late.

Today, take a moment to make that call!

Along the way, she’s collecting “flags,” with each one representing a man. “My rules are to count the on his passport, not where the dude happens to be living at the time of our encounter,” she revealed.

What is also very fascinating about this woman is that, before she became an influencer and joined the adult industry, she was active in politics in her native country.

After the original candidate dropped out, she briefly ran as a candidate for a local political party.

Also, she worked as a waitress and a dancer before she became a star on Only Fans.

According to her, not having to stick to a nine to five job is something she truly loves.

Broken farewells and haunting returns

By
Kelly White

I was at a point in my life when everything felt perfect. I had a perfect wife and a son. Sometimes, I even thought it was too good to be true—and it turned out I was right.

As I was getting ready to head to Seattle for a business meeting, hoping to seal an important deal, I planted a kiss on my wife’s cheek. She was still sleeping, and I didn’t want to wake her up.

The anxiety grew bigger, and thankfully, everything went as smooth as planned. And then, my phone buzzed. It was my wife’s father.

“Abraham…” he said in a quiet voice. “Stacey has been involved in a car accident this morning. I’m sorry, she’s gone.”

“How do you mean she’s gone!?” I asked, refusing to accept his words.

“I’m sorry,” he said once again before he hung up the phone.

Pexels

My wife was gone. She was the love of my life, the mother of my child, my soulmate, and now she was gone… just like that my life shattered into a million pieces.

When I returned home, the funeral was done. Stacey’s parents believed it was for the best if I hadn’t seen her for one last time. “We wanted to protect you, Abraham,” her mom said.

All I was told was that Stacey got killed by a drunk driver. That was my closure. I didn’t even get to say the final goodbye. Her parents took that from me and from my son.

Luke kept asking about his mother, and I couldn’t gather the courage to tell him the truth.

“When is mom coming back?” he asked over and over again.

“Your mom is in heaven now,” I said through tears. “She’ll be watching over us.”

But it wasn’t enough for a child his age. He was too young to understand that his mother wasn’t coming back… ever.

Pexels

A couple of months passed by and I saw Luke struggle. He missed his mom unconditionally. His little heart shattered into a million pieces with each passing day.

“Hey, champ,” I told him one day, “Let’s take a short vacation. Just the two of us.”

Luke got excited and we went on vacation the following day. I though the beach and the sun would help him feel a bit better.

We spent the days swimming and building sandcastles, but when the nights came, grief settled in our hearts over and over again.

One day, as I was sitting on a bench, contemplating life, I heard Luke yelling, “Dad, look, it’s mom.”

I looked at the direction where his little finger pointed and saw a woman resembling Stacey. She wasn’t near, so I couldn’t see her clearly, but she did look exactly like her. The same hair, the same posture, the same laugh. However, before I could reach to her, she grabbed a man’s hand and disappeared.

Pexels

I felt like my mind was playing tricks on me. Of course it couldn’t be my wife. She was dead, or at least I though so.

Determined to learn what was going on, I spent the following day wandering around the resort. And then, at one moment, I saw her. She was standing right in front of me.

But before I could say anything, she looked me straight into my eyes and said, “Abraham, it’s complicated…”

I almost fainted. Not only my “dead” wife was there, but she was having a huge belly.

“Abraham, I can explain,” she said.

It turned out Stacey was having an affair and fell pregnant so she faked her own death with the help of her parents.

“I thought it was for the best,” she said, “but I miss Luke so much.”

Pexels

At that moment, all the love I had for my wife turned into hatred. One thing was certain, after everything she had done, after the pain she had caused, I wouldn’t let her see our son ever again, and I made sure she knew that.

I returned to the hotel and packed out things. Once home, I contacted my lawyer, explaining everything to him.

I got a full custody of Luke and blocked Stacy’s number. I refused to have any contact with her, and as of her deceit, it was reported to the authorities.

Eventually, I was able to move on, but I could never understand how a mother can cause so much pain to her child.

Luke is now older and aware of his mom’s choices.

Military haircut got my son in trouble – now I’m facing a bigger battle

By
Monica Pop
-

When I picked up Levi from school, he was unusually quiet. I knew right away something wasn’t right, but Levi refused to tell me. On the way home, he didn’t utter a single word, and the moment we got home, he said, “Mom, my teacher said my haircut is ‘aggressive’ and intimidates the rest of the children.”

“What!?” I asked, confused by his words. My son has this short, military hairstyle, just like my brother’s, who serves in the military.

I couldn’t really understand why a neat haircut would cause trouble for an 8-year-old boy.

Levi then handed me a note that read the school was trying to “maintain a positive learning environment” and my son’s hair was allegedly standing on the way of achieving this.

I couldn’t believe what I was reading. They even mentioned a “corrective action,” and I had no idea if that meant detention or suspension.

Pexels

Levi was extremely worried. He believed he did something wrong, when in fact, he didn’t, and I was determined to protect him no matter what it took.

Honestly, I thought it was just a misunderstanding – surely a clean-cut style couldn’t be against the rules, but when I met with the school’s administration, I was assured my son broke the dress code.

My frustration grew when I learned there were other students at the school with the same haircut who didn’t get a note about any violations of the school rules.

I decided to push back. I wouldn’t let my son feel guilty for a clean haircut.

Upon insisting, I met with the school’s vice-principal. When I mentioned that other students at the school weren’t punished for the same hairstyle, she said she believed it was Levi’s teacher that had something personal against it.

Later, I found out that Ms. Reeves, Levi’s teacher, lost her father due to severe PTSD he suffered from after serving in the military. The vice-principal promised to talk to her and make things right.

A day later, I got a call from the school. Mrs. Reeves wanted to talk to me.

Pexels

When I saw her, she looked remorseful and apologized for the disciplinary note, saying she wasn’t aware she overreacted. She then shared her father’s story with me, explaining she hasn’t fully processed some things about his passing and everything related to the military, including my son’s haircut, reminded her of her dad.

This experience taught me that as a parent, I should always stand for my child. But it also taught me that there should always be room for compassion. We never really know what others are going through and why they act the way they do.

Sometimes, the best way to defuse a conflict and a misunderstanding is with kindness and willingness to listen.

Cher breaks silence on ex-boyfriend Val Kilmer’s death at 65

By
Monica Pop
-

The passing of Val Kilmer has been met with an outpouring of tributes from fans and fellow actors who remember his talent and the iconic roles he had given to the world of film.

According to his daughter, Mercedes, the Batman star died of pneumonia. Kilmer battled cancer in the past and had undergone extensive treatments that damaged his vocal cords thus affected both his life and his career.

Among those who honored Kilmer is his Batman co-star Jim Carrey. “I’m remembering Val Kilmer today with great admiration for him as a man and as a generational talent who left us an enviable legacy of indelible acting performances,” Carrey, 63, said in a statement to The Post on Wednesday. “His greatest artistic achievements were rivaled only by the grace and courage with which he endured his life’s most challenging moments,” Carrey added. “Wishing his family so much love.”

Singer Cher, who used to date Val Kilmer during the 80’s, also paid her tributes.

Cher and Val Kilmer were an unlikely couple. She was 14 years his senior and already an accomplished singer, while Kilmer was just starting his career but was considered a Hollywood heartthrob.

Recalling their romance, Cher told People in 2021, “Was he 22? What was I? I don’t know. 30-something. It was a bigger deal back then. The truth was if I hadn’t gone out with younger men, I would have never had a date. Younger men weren’t intimidated by older women. But older men in my age category, they weren’t having it.”

She added: “He’s like nobody I’ve ever known. He is exasperating and hysterical. Thrilling and funny and doesn’t do what anyone else does.”

The pair even had nicknames for each other. “We called ourselves Sid and Ethel. Val didn’t want to yell ‘Cher,’ and I didn’t want to yell ‘Val.’ We also called ourselves Valus Maximus and Cherus Reprimandus. Of course he was Maximus,” the singer added.

Even after their romance ended, the two remained close friends.

Following his sudden passing, Cher took to the social media to share her emotions over the devastating loss.

“VALUS. Will miss u, U Were Funny, crazy, pain in the ass, GREAT FRIEND, kids [heart] U, BRILLIANT as Mark Twain, BRAVE here during ur sickness,” she posted.

Fans were quick to comment under her post.

“It’s really sad. I know how special he was to you and the bond you shared,” one person wrote. “I’m so sorry for your loss! May his brilliant soul rest in peace,” another added.
