‘What’s going on with Trump’s legs?’

A recent video of President Donald Trump showing him having a hard time getting out of his golf cart made many question, “What’s wrong with Trump’s legs?”

The video in question was taken at Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, during a golf session. It was shared by Aleman’s Brothers LLC, a grounds-keeping company that appears to service Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, as per the Daily Mail.

“Trump moves his right leg like a piece of wood,” an X user posted. “Any geriatricians around?” asked another.

“What’s wrong with Trump’s legs? He’s moving knock kneed and swinging his right leg like it’s dead weight?!” a third commented.

One user wrote, ”What’s up with his right leg + foot? Looks all wobbly + pigeon-toed.”

The video triggered numerous speculations and rumors about the president’s heath, with some suggesting he could be suffering from “weak knees,” and others even pointing out to a “neuromuscular degenerative issue.”

There were also those who said Trump’s legs and his movement feel “weird” because of his age.

White House Communications Director Steven Cheung responded to the speculations, dismissing them as not true. “Deranged and morally bankrupt liberals — including corrupt media — have now resorted to complete falsehoods and fabricated lies because they have no shame.

“Instead, they spend every waking hour of their pathetic lives suffering from a debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has rotted their brain,” he said, as quoted by the Daily Mail.

This isn’t the first time people have pointed out Trump dragging his right leg.

In March of last year, MAGA critic and editor-in-chief of left-wing MeidasTouch Network Ron Filipkowski posted, “Something is definitely going on with his right leg. He’s been dragging it for months.”

The video in question emerged a week after people spotted bruises on Trump’s hands during his meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron.

Social media users believed that the bruises were due to IV infusions, thin skin, or the president’s old age. They were obviously covered with skin-colored makeup but still visible.

Trump on the other hand has bragged about his health in the past, claiming he’s been the healthiest president to ever run the country.

Melania Trump ‘leads her own life’ amid White House absence

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 last weekend. However, she hasn’t undertaken any official First Lady duties.

“[Donald and Melania] 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.”

Goldie Hawn reveals a heartbreaking health condition at the Oscars

The 97th Annual Academy Awards gathered the most prominent Hollywood figures together for yet another memorable night.

Actress Halle Berry had her “revenge” kiss on Oscar-winner Adrien Brody on the red carpet, which saw the crowd, including Brodie’s girlfriend Georgina, clapping and laughing. The opening ceremony saw Wicked stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande shine in their full glory. Zoe Saldaña gave an emotional speech, and Conan O’Brien had his Oscar hosting debut.

The film Anora won five Oscars and owned the night, but it was the heartbreaking revelation by Goldie Hawn about a health condition that had everyone talking.

The actress was on stage alongside Andrew Garfield presenting the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature Film.

However, at one point, she stopped her speech, which she read from the teleprompter, and turned to Garfield with the words, “OK. Sweetheart, can you read that? I can’t read that.”

She then revealed, “I’m completely blind. I mean, I am,” explaining that she suffers from cataracts.

It is a condition that happens when the lens, a small transparent disc inside your eye, develops cloudy patches, according to NHS.

Over time these patches usually become bigger causing blurry, misty vision and eventually blindness.

They are most common at elderly people but can affect anyone.

Garfield showed just how big of a gentleman he is telling Hawn, “OK, I’ve got you,” before revealing the winner.

The response to the revelation about her health condition concerned the fans of Goldie Hawn.

A source close to the actress said she regretted sharing her condition because she didn’t mean that news to become a talking point.

“Goldie is embarrassed that the focus of her Oscar night was her vision issues, it is not something she wanted everyone talking about,” the source said, as per the Daily Mail. “She was just trying to be funny.”

8 powerful anti-cancer foods you should start including in your diet

By
Monica Pop
-

When it comes to our overall well-being, the food we consume plays a key role. Through our diet, we provide our body with the essential nutrients, vitamins, fibre, and energy to get through the day.

The Standard American Diet (SAD), is “believed to contribute to the health challenges experienced in the United States, including cancer.”

According to the American Institute for Cancer Research, only about 8% of the standard American diet consists of protective foods.

The truth is that no food by itself can help in the fight against cancer, but there are several foods that are believed to help preventing it.

“Research tells us that making healthy food choices consistently over time can reduce your risk of getting cancer, but you can’t say with absolute certainty that food can prevent cancer,” says wellness dietitian Lindsey Wohlford. “There are no guarantees.”

1. Cruciferous Vegetables

Cruciferous vegetables are a diverse group of vegetables belonging to the family Brassicaceae, also called ‘Cruciferae,’ that are believed to have cancer-preventive properties. Vegetables belonging to this group are radish, arugula, bok choy, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, daikon, and turnips, among the rest.

These are rich in isothiocyanates, compounds that reduce inflammation and deactivate cancer-causing chemicals.

Consuming these vegetables helps lowering the risks of developing certain types of cancer, including breast, esophageal, oral, and kidney cancers.

2. Turmeric

Turmeric is yet another plant that is so versatile that it’s found its way not only in the cuisines of many countries, but also in the cosmetic industry, the pharmaceutical industry, and more.

Among the rest, turmeric contains protective compounds, including curcumin, has anti-oxidant properties that may help the body combat inflammation, can help ease arthritis, can help limit the growth of cancerous cells, protects cells from damage, and reduces the signs of ageing.

3. Mushrooms

A study conducted on 36 thousand participants over several decades showed that incorporating mushrooms in the diet helps reduce the risk of developing prostate cancer. Mushrooms are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, in particular L-ergothioneine, thought to help reduce oxidative stress.

Another study suggest mushrooms may help prevent breast cancer, likely due to compounds like glutathione, ergothioneine, and polysaccharides. Medicinal varieties like reishi, turkey tail, shiitake, and maitake boost antitumor immunity, with turkey tail’s PK polysaccharide aiding cancer therapy.

4. Allium Vegetables

Onions, shallots, leeks, and garlic are anti-cancer foods said to prevent certain cancers such as colon cancer and other cancers related to the gut.

According to a research, onion and garlic possess “promising biological activities that are indicative of their potential as potent antioxidant and anticancer agents.”

5. Wakame

Shutterstock

Wakame is an edible type of seaweed that is believed to suppress the growth of breast cancer, colon cancer, and kidney cancer cells. The research showing these results has been performed in a lab using animals, so its properties on humans are yet to be researched.

Also, wakame contains around 42mcg of iodine per serving.

6. Lycopene-Rich Foods

Lycopene is a phytochemical, or a biologically active chemical found in plants. Since it’s not produced within the body, it’s not considered neither a vitamin nor mineral.

According to Hope Barkoukis, Ph.D., chair of the department of nutrition at the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in Cleveland, OH, lycopene is a potent antioxidant. “This means it can reduce the presence of harmful compounds in your body called free radicals.”

Diet rich in foods that contain lycopene, such as tomatoes and watermelons, may help reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease, and other chronic diseases.

7. Beta Carotene-Rich Foods

Shutterstock

Beta-carotene rich foods include carrots, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, and other yellow-orange fruits and vegetables.

Their consumption on preventing cancer is yet to be researched further.

8. Fatty Fish

Pexels

Research indicates that other anti-cancer foods include fatty fish like albacore tuna, salmon, herring, mussels, anchovies, and sardines. If consumed weekly, they may help lower cancer risk. This is likely due to their high vitamin D and Omega-3 fatty acids, thought to help prevent disease, including cancer.

Elon Musk issues 5-word response to Mike Myers’ brutal SNL portrayal of him in a Trump-Zelenskyy sketch

By

In a parody of the widely debated meeting between Donald Trump and Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Mike Myers portrayed the tech-billionaire Elon Musk.

The skit poked fun of Musk on Saturday Night Live, and the Tesla founder made sure Myers knew he didn’t found the comedy fun.

Namely, Myers, dressed as Musk in black jeans, a blazer, and a graphic t-shirt, interrupted the meeting between Trump, portrayed by James Austin Johnson, and Zelensky, played by Mikey Day.

“Donald, what are you doing in my office?” Myers’ Musk asked Trump, “You know I’m the president now, right?” then added: “I’m kidding, I’m kidding… Maybe not.”

NBC

Myers imitated Musk’s bouncing from a last years’ Trump’s rally, jumping up and down.

“They’re saying I’m firing people with no cause. But I do have cause, it’s ’cause’ I feel like it,” Myers’ Musk joked.

Mayer’s further mocked Musk’s role as a head of the Department of Government Efficiency, the government lay-offs, and the number of plane crashes.

“We’re not going to get it perfect, you know. But we are firing the non-essential employees like air traffic controllers.

“And sure, some of the planes are going to land upside down. But then the luggage falls right into your lap and you’re ready to go.”

Myers even held a chainsaw, playing on Musk’s time at the Conservative Political Action Conference when Argentina’s President Javier Milei gave him a gold-plated one.

Vance, portrayed by Yang, berated the Ukrainian leader, asking him, “What happened to thank you? You haven’t said thank you to us once in the past 15 seconds.”

He then continued, “You think you’re getting any money from us after your little outburst today?” before adding, “You get nothing. You lose. Good day, sir.”

Trump then said dismissively to Zelensky, “Who shows up to the White House in a T-shirt and jeans like a garbage person?”

While many found the skit fun, except for the MAGA supporters, it turned out Elon Musk wasn’t fond of his portrayal by Mike Myers…at all!

Replying to a comment about it on X, the SpaceX owner wrote, “Humor fails when it lies.”

Netizens were quick to react to Musk’s comment.

“Fails? They pretty much nailed you. Now it’s even funnier when I know it hurt your feelings,” someone commented.

Another said, “Mike Myers was very funny in this skit [in my opinion],” while a third noted, “You were all ‘legalize comedy’ just a few days ago. I guess you’ve changed your mind? Because most people thought Mike Myers was spot on & hilarious.”

My 5-year-old brought an entire restaurant to tears with one simple act

By

My 5-year-old son enjoyed visiting the Waffle House, but that day was like no other.

As we were seated at the place, waiting for our food to arrive, my boy Josiah spotted a man with worn-out clothes sitting outside.

Curious, he asked me what the man was doing on the street, to what I replied that he could be a homeless person.

Josiah, being just five, was interested to learn what that meant.

“He doesn’t have a home,” I said, adding that he probably doesn’t have anything to eat either.

Pexels

Josiah was confused, and without hesitation, he got outside and told the man that he could eat with us.

The man seemed confused, and the entire restaurant was looking at Josiah, waiting to see what was going to happen. It was then that I told the man that he could have dinner with us.

He entered and Josiah ordered the biggest burger for him.

But, before the man took a bite, Josiah said, “Wait, we need to pray first.” And there, in the middle of the Waffle house, my 5-year-old son bowed his head and said a blessing.

Pexels

At that moment, one by one, the rest of the diners started paying for meals and leaving money on the counter. The truck driver sitting opposite us told the waitress, “Make sure he has enough for breakfast tomorrow.” An elderly lady placed $20 on the counter and said, “For anyone else who might need it.”

The waitress was stunned. She said that in the 12 years working at the diner she had never witnessed anything similar.

Then and there, I felt like the proudest mother there was.

The ripple effect Josiah’s act triggered was nothing short of amazing.

Pexels

Josiah, happy he made a new friend, took a bite out of the man’s hamburger and sked him if he like it. “The best burger I’ve ever had,” the man said, doing his best not to let tears run down his face.

Before we left, Josiah gave the man his favorite sweater. “You can have it,” he said, “In case you get cold on the streets.”

As we headed home, my 5-year-old asked me if he had done a good thing.

“You did a wonderful thing, sweetheart,” I said as I gave him a kiss on the forehead.

Fans of the Canadian-born singer Justin Bieber sparked concerns over his health after photos of him emerged on the social media, showing him looking hollow-eyed and dishevelled.

The musician was photographed at a pop-up event for his wife Hailey Bieber’s Rhode cosmetic line in LA.

Fans were quick to comment on the looks of the singer, who recently became a father.

“He still has some healing to do this is sad,” a person commented. “I can’t understand people who are laughing at this, truly, I just feel bad for both of them, no one deserves this,” another added.

“This is so hard to watch. Someone help him,” a third wrote.

A representative of the singer told TMZ that Bieber is “simply in one of the best places in his life” denying any rumors that he’s using drugs. They added that the singer’s past year has been “very transformative for him as he ended several close friendships and business relationships that no longer served him.”

Further, they said the star is drained by the rumors surrounding his mental health as he is focused on “actively parenting his newborn son” Jack Blues, prioritizing his marriage, parenthood, and creating art.

Justin Bieber had his fans worried before when he unfollowed his wife and his father-in-law on social media back in January.

He then claimed that his marriage wasn’t breaking down, sharing photos of Hailey.

Later, Bieber said someone entered his account and unfollowed Hailey. “S**t is getting suss out here,” he wrote.

Sources close to Bieber told TMZ that his looks is due to long nights of recording at the studio and “caring for his son who was having trouble falling asleep as well.”

In an episode of the docuseries Justin Bieber: Sessions, the star revealed he had started smoking marijuana aged 12 or 13.

He then turned to heavier drugs but eventually decided to quit after he thought he was going to die.

New leading infectious disease: COVID-19 no longer top of the list

By

COVID-19 has been on top of the list of infectious diseases for a number of years. This is expected as the pandemic, which was global and didn’t spare any country, claimed the lives of a number of people and affected the everyday life of millions.

Recently, however, the World Health Organization stated that tuberculosis (TB) has retaken its position as the leading infectious disease, surpassing COVID-19, as per The Hearty Soul.

WHO reported that in 2023, the number of people diagnoses with TB was approximately 8.2 million. This is the highest since 1995 when the organization started the monitoring process of the infectious disease.

“The fact that TB still kills and sickens so many people is an outrage, when we have the tools to prevent it, detect it and treat it,” said Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General. “WHO urges all countries to make good on the concrete commitments they have made to expand the use of those tools, and to end TB.”

Tuberculosis is an infection that usually affects the lungs.

However, it also can affect other parts of the body such as the kidneys, the spine, or the brain.

Most people who have TB infection will never develop TB disease.

The treatment of this infectious disease involves the use of antibiotics, and if left untreated, it can be very serious. There is also a vaccine, called the BCG vaccine, recommended for people who are at higher risk of catching TB or getting seriously ill from it. In certain countries, the babies are vaccinated with it right after birth.

TB spreads through the air, when a person who is infected sneezes, coughs, or talks.

Shutterstock

This infectious disease primarily affects people from low and middle-income countries, with limited access to healthcare.

56% of those affected are from India, Indonesia, China, the Philippines, and Pakistan.

NHS lists the most common symptoms of TB, which include: persistent cough that lasts more than three weeks, mostly accompanied with mucus and bloody mucus, high temperature and night sweats, loss of appetite, weight loss, and feeling tired or exhausted.
