King Charles ‘won’t hand throne to William,’ claims expert

King Charles holds the record of longest-serving monarch-in-waiting in British history, surpassing Edward VII’s record of 59 years. At the same time, he’s the eldest person to be crowned king in Britain.

When he witnessed his mother becoming the head of the monarchy, King Charles was a three-year-old boy. Back then, he was totally unaware that one day he would be the one overtaking the monarchy.

That day arrived with the passing of his mother, late Queen Elizabeth II, who ruled the country for over 70 years. Her reign spanned 14 US presidencies, from Truman to Joe Biden, and met all but one.

Last year, King Charles disclosed with the public his cancer diagnosis, sharing that he’s been receiving treatments in London.

After a short period of being out of the spotlight, he has again returned to his royal duties his wife and his older son performed during his absence from public life.

As the public speculated about his health condition, many raised the question of his possible abdication.

In December of last year, a source close to the monarch told Woman’s Day that Charles has long ago “came to terms” with the fact that he won’t be ruling the country for many years.

“He’s a lot weaker and tires easily, and doctors are begging him to slow down,” the source said, adding that the monarch contemplates over whether it’s noble or not to abdicate.

“Charles will have been told worst and best-case scenarios in terms of his health, but it’s clear some of his royal priorities have had to be sidelined.”

He and William, however, did discuss the future.

“As devastating as it’s been, he’s had to step away from some of his plans or leave them to William. He has no choice,” the source said. “Cancer has changed him, made him reassess what’s important, and there’s no one he’d rather spend his time with than Camilla. Stepping aside could be what gives him more time with her.”

Royal commentator Sally Bedell Smith told People that King Charles has to “accept limitations” during his cancer treatment.

“Although the King is carrying out his duties with typical determination, he has had to accept limitations during his cancer treatment,” Bedell Smith said. “As a result, William has been taking on more responsibilities, and he and Kate have been preparing for their future roles sooner than they would have expected.”

According to experts, “abdication would be a significant departure from all tradition.”

Hilary Fordwich, a royal expert, argued with Fox News that when the last time a monarch abdicated, Queen Elizabeth II’s uncle, Edward VIII, it triggered “a constitutional crisis.”

British royal broadcaster Jonathan Sacerdoti told Fox that it is “unlikely” that King Charles will step away from his royal duties any more than “strictly necessary.”

“Of course, he is not a youngster, and the example of his late mother’s older years shows that, when needed, the royal family can accommodate sharing the burden, if necessary,” Sacerdoti said. “But just as Queen Elizabeth II continued to work well into her old age, and even when she was not entirely healthy, I am sure that the king will want to do the same and keep going as much as is possible.”

“King Charles will never abdicate through his own volition, especially as he has waited a lifetime to become monarch,” royal expert Ian Pelham Turner told Fox News Digital.

Over the last few decades, several European countries have seen their monarchs abdicate in favor of the younger generation of royals.

Most recently it was Denmark, when Queen Margrethe II of Denmark became the first Danish monarch to abdicate in more than 900 years. The country celebrated their new head of the monarchy, King Frederik X, in the capital of Copenhagen on Sunday and the Prince and Princess of Wales have closely followed the events unfolding.

Queen Margrethe II of Denmark announced her abdication on TV during her yearly speech on New Year’s Eve. The nation was shocked because no one expected it. She explained that she believed it was time for her son to take her place. Queen Margrethe II, 83, took the throne after her father, King Frederik IX, died in 1972.

Tiffany Trump, 31, who is expecting her first child with husband, Michael Boulos, threw an extravagant Peter Rabbit-themed baby shower during the weekend.

She reportedly announced that the couple is expecting a baby boy.

Tiffany Trump’s pregnancy was revealed in October when her father, businessman-turned-president Donald Trump, shared the news with the crowd at an event at the Detroit Economic Club.

CNN reported at the time that Trump said his daughter was a “very exceptional young woman” before adding that “she’s gonna have a baby. So that’s nice.”

Tiffany’s child would be Trump’s 11th grandchild.

At her baby shower, Tiffany wore a floor-length blue dress with floral embellishments and posed cradling her baby bump.

She captioned the photos: “1 month,” and added a bear and a blue heart emojis.

Instagram

Michael proposed to Tiffany in 2021 in the White House Rose Garden with a diamond ring that reportedly cost $1.2-million.

“It has been an honor to celebrate many milestones, historic occasions and create memories with my family here at the White House, none more special than my engagement to my amazing fiancé Michael! Feeling blessed and excited for the next chapter!” she wrote on Instagram.

Tiffany also shared photos of the couple’s wedding in November 2022. She wore an Elie Saab gown. The wedding took place at the father’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.

Tiffany’s mother, Marla Maples, and Donald Trump split in 1997, after which Tiffany stayed with her mom.

Marla didn’t want her daughter to be raised in the shadow of her famous father but wanted her daughter to be able to discover who she is.

Despite not being raised along with the rest of her siblings, Tiffany is said to have a close relationship with the rest of her father’s children, especially Ivanka Trump.

Kamala Harris’ prediction about Trump’s tariffs comes to light in newly surfaced footage

By

-

The impact of Trump’s decision to impose enormous tariffs on nearly every country in the world has yet to be felt on the U.S. economy, experts claim.

The president on the other hand dubbed the decision as a “declaration of economic independence.”

He even asked his people to trust his judgement because his politics will ultimately benefit them and will lead to the American industry being reborn.

Critics and experts say the changes to the U.S. trade policy only pushes the country into a trade war with other countries, particularly China.

Kamala Harris, who lost the presidential elections to Trump, made predictions about Trump’s moves regarding the tariffs, claiming his politics would easily lead to a recession by mid-2025.

Now that her predictions seem to be turning into reality, footages of her speeches have resurfaced on the social media.

During the presidential debate in September 2024, Harris laid the bare truth for millions of Americans. “16 Nobel laureates have described his economic plan as something that would increase inflation and by the middle of next year would invite a recession,” she said during the debate. “You just have to look.”

This wasn’t the sole occasion when the Democrat warned of what might happen if Trump wins the elections.

During her appearance on The Howard Stern Show back in November, Harris said, “My plans will strengthen our economy. Donald Trump’s plans would weaken our economy, would inflate inflation, and would bring a recession on by the middle of next year.” 

Harris also spoke of Trump’s plan to eliminate the Department of Education, which he did, leading to over 1,300 people to lose their jobs.

Further, Harris claimed that if Trump wins the elections, he would cut Social Security and Medicare, giving tax breaks to big corporations and people with already really high incomes.

According to NBC, “House Republicans can’t meet their own budget target that is necessary to pass President Donald Trump’s legislative agenda without making significant cuts to Medicare or Medicaid.”

Now, the predictions and warning of Kamala Harris resonate with many.

“She warned us all so many times. It’s a shame 27% of the population chose not to listen,” one person commented.

Another person noted: “Yea, but the recession came in just 4 months, not 6. Checkmate libs.”

Strategist dubs Trump’s move one of the most ‘ignorant’ in history

Strategist who predicted Trump’s downfall calls his move one of the most ‘ignorant’ in U.S. history

Donald Trump’s return to office for the second time sparked a term that’s been full of nonstop twists and turns. From signing a bunch of executive orders, many of which challenged in court, to sparking major controversies, he’s become a figure you either love or hate. With Trump, there’s no in between, it seems.

Among those who have criticized the work of Trump’s administration is Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville.

Carville stated on several occasions that the current administration “will collapse,” adding later that it has already started happening.

He addressed the rating that he stated showed Trump’s support going from low 50s to upper 30s.

At the time, he stated that this had to do with Trump’s executive orders, as well as the work of the Department of Government Efficiency led by tech-billionaire Elon Musk, most precisely, his recent cost-cutting moves.

During an appearance on The Dan Abrams Show, the strategist said, “It’s collapsing right now. We’re in the midst of a collapse.

“What I have said very publicly is that Democrats need to play possum. This whole thing is collapsing,” he added.

Most recently, Carville “accused” Trump of one of the most ‘ignorant’ acts in US history. He referred to his administration’s decision to impose tariffs on nearly every country in the world.

Trump announced the new round of tariffs, including 125% rate on goods imported from China, dubbing the decision a “Liberation Day.”

Introducing these significant changes to US trade policy, he described his move as a “declaration of economic independence.”

Speaking of the tariffs, Carville wrote in a piece for The New York Times, “In what will certainly be recorded as one of the most ignorant acts of political leadership in American history, the president of the United States has now wilfully damaged the global economy with his tariff chaos.”

“Not only was this an act of economic warfare, it has broken the cardinal rule in American politics: Never destabilize the economy.

“With it, the Trump administration is causing enormous damage to itself – and there can be no more distraction from this naked truth.”

Previously, Trump took to Truth Social to address Carville’s accusations, calling him a “loser” who can’t wrap his head around the president’s supposed “best polling numbers.”

Wife of man who was deported to ‘world’s worst prison’ due to ‘Trump admin error’ shares an emotional statement

By

Donald Trump passed an order that required 238 supposed criminals – American immigrants – to be transferred to what is known as the “world’s worst prison” in El Salvador. Among those who were deported was a Maryland father Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia.

He was sent to the Center for Terrorism Confinement (CECOT) in El Salvador by mistake.

As immigration officials admitted making a mistake due to an administrative error. Then, the Supreme Court ruled that Trump’s administration must ‘facilitate’ Garcia’s return to the United States.

US District Judge Paula Xinis said Garcia was seized “without any lawful authority” and held “without legal basis”, in “direct contravention” of US law. She referred to his situation as to a “grievous error” that “shocks the conscience,” BBC reports.

However, to this man’s family’s despair, this seems easier said than done.

Following an alleged meeting between Trump and El Salvador’s leader, Nayib Bukele, it was determined that Garcia’s potential return to US is up to Bukele, who isn’t willing to do such a thing.

“I hope you’re not suggesting that I smuggle a terrorist into the United States. How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States? Of course I’m not going to do it. The question is preposterous,” the El Salvador leader said.

“We just turned the murder capital of the world to the safest country the western hemisphere. And you want us to go back into the releasing criminals, so we can go back to the murder capital of the world, and that’s not going to happen.”

Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia is indeed an immigrant who came to the States aged 14. However, in 2019, a US immigration judge had granted him legal protection from deportation due to gang threats in his native country.

Ever since his deportation to the “world’s worst prison,” Garcia’s wife, Jennifer Stefania Vasquez Sura, has been vocal of his situation and the injustice that has been done to him and his family.

“I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn’t forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home … they miss their dad so much,” she said.

According to The Telegraph, the US government claimed Garcia is a wife abuser, not an “upstanding Maryland” resident.

the Department of Homeland Security revealed that Garcia was handed a restraining order against his wife Jennifer Vasquez in 2021.

His wife, however, claims that she sought a restraining order out of caution because of a previous violent relationship.

“After surviving domestic violence in a previous relationship, I acted out of caution after a disagreement with Kilmar by seeking a civil protective order in case things escalated,” Vasquez said.

Further, she claimed that things didn’t escalate and they didn’t take the matter to court. On the contrary, following the incident, they marriage only grew stronger.

She added that she wouldn’t stop fighting for her husband’s return to America.

Heartbreaking searches show what Betsy Arakawa Googled before their deaths

Renowned actor Gene Hackman and his pianist wife Betsy Arakawa were found dead in separate rooms at their Santa Fe property on February 26, 2025.

The couple, who had been married since 1991, died on different dates, according to the autopsy results.

The Academy Awarded actor died of cardiovascular disease, with his Alzheimer’s being a contributing factor, a week after Arakawa’s passing. Authorities believe that Hackman was probably unaware his wife was dead.

Arakawa died of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, a rare disease contracted from infected rodent droppings or saliva.

According to TMZ, dead rodents and their nests were found in “eight detached outbuildings” across Heckman’s property, creating ideal conditions for hantavirus.

There have also been traps around the property, suggesting the couple tried to get rid of the rodents.

Authorities were first alerted that something was wrong with the actor and his wife after the caretaker of their Santa Fe property called 911 and told them they couldn’t enter the house. Also, they said they believed they could see two bodies through the windows.

One of the couple’s dogs, Zinna, was also dead, while the rest of the dogs were alive.

Facebook

On February 10, two days before it was determined she had passed away, Arakawa Googled “can Covid cause dizziness?” and “flu and nosebleeds.”

The following day, she called a clinic to cancer her appointment saying her husband experienced “flu/cold-like symptoms” but had tested negative for Covid.

She also ordered oxygen canisters for “respiratory support” from Amazon.

On the day she passed, Arakawa made several calls to the Cloudberry Health clinic.

According to the Mirror, Dr Josiah Child, a former emergency care specialist who now runs the clinic, told The Mail, “Mrs Hackman didn’t die on February 11 because she called my clinic on February 12.”

He explained: “She’d called me a couple of weeks before her death to ask about getting an echocardiogram [heart scan] for her husband. She was not a patient of mine, but one of my patients recommended Cloudberry to her. She made an appointment for herself for February 12. It was for something unrelated to anything respiratory.”

She never appeared at the clinic.

Since her passing, three more cases of people dying from the same virus have been reported in California.

“A third case of Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS), each of which has been fatal, is tragic and alarming,” Dr Tom Boo, Mono County Public Health Officer said.

“We don’t have a clear sense of where this young adult may have contracted the virus. The home had no evidence of mouse activity. We observed some mice in the workplace, which is not unusual for indoor spaces this time of year in Mammoth Lakes.

“We haven’t identified any other activities in the weeks before illness that would have increased this person’s exposure to mice or their droppings. We’ve been aware of this suspected case for some weeks, but it has taken time to obtain testing.”

Dr Boo added: “The occurrence of three cases in a short period has me worried, especially this early in the year. Historically, we tend to see Hantavirus cases later in the spring and in the summer. We’ve now gone about a month without any additional suspect cases, but remain concerned about the increase in activity.”

Baby Elizah Renee Lynn Turner, 7-month-old, suffered a horrific death after being mauled by the family pit bull.

Her mother, Mackenzie Copley, spoke of the tragic loss, saying she’s “lost and heartbroken.”

Copley and her husband, Kameron Turner, had three pit bulls in the house. Following the incident, the dogs were taken away by Franklin Animal Control.

The attack, which took place on April 9, during which the baby was mauled by the pit bull has been investigated by the authorities.

As of now, no charges have been pressed against the parents who claim the bond between their dogs and their late daughter had been a sweet one, questioning how such an attack could have happened.

Copley took to Facebook to share her heartbreak regarding the loss of her baby girl.

“I will never understand why!!!” she wrote on Facebook Saturday, posting pictures of baby Elizah and the family’s pit bulls.

“I am so lost and broken. This was the same dog who was side by side with my baby every single day,” she added.

Eliza’s dad also shared his grief.

“Life is so not fair,” Turner wrote. “How can I continue living without her.”

Her obituary read that “Elizah’s face would light up the room and her laugh was contagious.”

“Lizah was spunky, happy, loved watching miss Rachel and she was never without a smile. She brought light to everyone’s life, healed her family’s hearts and gave them all purpose.

“Her favorite times were spent laughing with mom and dad. Her nickname ‘Kickin Wing’ was given to her by her grandpa. Every time someone new walked into the room her legs started kicking away because of how excited she was to see you.”

Hungry boy called 911, but what arrived was more than just food

The following story is a reminder that there are still good people out there who go to great lengths to help those in need. They restore our faith in humanity and inspire us to do good ourselves.

A young boy called 911, but didn’t speak, so an officer who lived near the house where the call had been traced to was asked to go and check it out.

It was around 9:30 p.m. and she had just got her youngest child to bed when she was alerted of the boy’s call.

Once at the house, a boy, 8, opened the door. It didn’t look like he was in any sort of trouble. What’s most, although a rather bare, the house was neat and clean. He was there with his little sister.

The boy introduced himself as Mateo and the reason why he called 911 was because he and his siter were hungry. They were all by themselves, with no adult in sight.

After she questioned them, the officer learned that the children’s mom worked two jobs, obviously struggling to make ends meet.

Mateo said that he took care of his sister, Sophia, while their mom was working. They usually had a thing or two in the fridge, but this time, there was only a jug of milk and some ketchup packets.

The officer called back-up, explaining what was going on, and in no time, services arrived at the house, with a paramedic named Rosa bringing sandwiches for the kids.

Before alerting the social services, the officer tracked down the children’s mom who was working at Joe’s Diner.

She was told the kids were fine but were starving.

The poor woman was upset. It was obvious she was a caring mother who was forced to work long hours in order to provide for her family.

In the days to come, both the officer and Rosa thought about Mateo and Sophia.

One day, Rosa visited the officer and told her she had come up with an idea, to start a project involving officers, paramedics, and members of the community who would step up for families in need. The project, Midnight Meals, turned out to be a huge success.

Every Friday night, volunteers delivered food and toiletries to vulnerable members of the community.

The response was overwhelming. Teachers donated books and school supplies, grocery stores contributed with canned food, and teenagers offered their precious time.

One night, Rosa and the police officer decided to deliver the goods themselves. They went to Mateo and Sophia’s place, but this time it looked different. There was more furniture, more food, and even decorations.

Mateo immediately recognized the two women while his mother thanked them for everything they have done for her family.

Rosa had a brand new rucksack filled with a bunch of school supplies for Mateo, who was over the moon by the gift.

Realizing how strong the impact of their small act of kindness has been, the two women reflected on why they chose their professions.
