FBI addresses conspiracy theories about Jeffrey Epstein’s death

In August 2019, disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein took his own life while in federal custody. However, over the years, there have been many speculations and conspiracy theories surrounding Epstein’s death, leaving the public with more questions than answers.

After years of silence, the FBI has finally addressed the conspiracy theories, with Deputy Director Dan Bongino revealing to Fox News Thursday morning that the Intelligence Agency possesses surveillance footage of the night Epstein died.

He was found hanging in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Centre.

According to Newsweek, Attorney General Pam Bondi previously stated that the FBI is reviewing “tens of thousands of videos” involving Epstein with children or involving child p**n, with “hundreds of victims” identified.

As they are handling vast evidence, she asked from the public to extend patience.

Some of the theories that circulated among the public and on the social media claimed Epstein was executed due to his purported “client list” that allegedly contained the names of those using his services, among which a number of celebrities, politicians, and other highly-influential individuals.

The footage in question shows no one walking across, towards, or away from Epstein’s cell—except for a guard leaving after escorting him inside—until the morning when he was found unresponsive, the US Justice Department (DoJ) noted.

Further, the FBI stated they found no evidence that Epstein had a ‘client list‘ that he used to blackmail individuals.

“This systematic review revealed no incriminating ‘client list’. There was also no evidence found that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals as part of his actions.

“We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties.”

The report further added that the prison failed to assign the billionaire another cellmate after he was placed on suicide watch.

The Justice Department stated that the government’s “highest priorities is combatting child exploitation and bringing justice to victims” and added that “perpetuating unfounded theories about Epstein serves neither of those ends.”

They continued: “While we have labored to provide the public with maximum information regarding Epstein and ensured examination of any evidence in the government’s possession, it is the determination of the DOJ and the FBI that no further disclosure would be appropriate or warranted.”

When agreement feels out of reach

Being in a relationship can feel overwhelming at times, because as time passes, people start getting annoyed by things in their partner they didn’t even notice in the beginning.

Leaving dirty dishes in the sink or chewing loudly didn’t seem like a big deal at first, but now it drives you crazy. Does this sound familiar? If yes, you are not the only one feeling like that.

The issue arises when you point this out to your partner and they choose to ignore you.

Making the bed every day may seem like an insignificant household task, but it triggered a fierce argument between a couple—and now the woman wants to know if she’s in the right for refusing to make her bed first thing in the morning.

According to the woman, who posted her question on Reddit, her husband asked her to make the bed in the morning because his first wife did it every day.

The woman added that she sometimes doesn’t make the bed because things get super busy with the kids and she simply doesn’t have the time.

However, now that her husband brought up his ex in the conversation, she wonders if she should give in to his demand or stick to what feels right for her.

As expected, Redditors’ opinions had divided opinions on the matter. While some believed that making the bed each morning is a comforting ritual and offers a clean start of the day, others took the woman’s side. They agreed that having to take care of the kids can be overwhelming, and not making the bed isn’t a big deal.

Eric Tarpinian-Jachym, a 21-year-old congressional intern, was shot and killed in Washington D.C.

The young intern was a senior at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, where he majored in finance and minored in political science, ABC News reported.

He was working with the office of Kansas Representative Ron Estes when he was shot near the Walter E. Washington Convention Center on Monday evening.

According to the Metropolitan Police Department, Tarpinian-Jachym was a victim of gunfire aimed at someone else.

They said multiple suspects exited a vehicle and opened fire on a group of people, shooting three individuals.

An unnamed woman and a 16-year-old boy were also injured during the drive-by shooting. They, along with Tarpinian-Jachym, were transported to the hospital where Tarpinian-Jachym succumbed to the injuries the day after. The woman and the boy are expected to recover fully.

Representative Ron Estes and his wife, Susan, extended their condolences to the Tarpinian-Jachym family.

“I will remember his kind heart and how he always greeted anyone who entered our office with a cheerful smile,” the press release said. “We are grateful to Eric for his service to Kansas’ 4th District and the country.”

Rep. Richard Neal of Massachusetts also issued a statement regarding the tragic passing of the young intern.

“I was heartbroken to hear of the tragic shooting that took the life of Granby-native Eric Tarpinian-Jachym,” the statement read, according to WWLP. “A rising senior at UMass Amherst, Eric was in D.C. interning on Capitol Hill, pursuing his passion for public service. As a lecturer at UMass, I know firsthand the caliber of students who walk through those doors. Eric embodied what it means to be part of a community committed to learning, growth, and civic engagement.”

Further, Neal’s statement continued, “Any parent will tell you there is no greater pain than the pain of losing as a child. As a father, my thoughts and prayers are with Eric’s family and loved ones during this difficult time.”

The Metropolitan Police Department is offering a reward of up to $25,000 for information that results in the arrest and conviction of those involved. Anyone with details is encouraged to call (202) 727-9099 or text 50411.

Everyone’s noticing the same thing about Kate Middleton’s latest outfit

By

Kate Middleton, the beloved Princess of Wales, revealed in January 2025 that she was in remission.

Since her cancer prevented her from performing her royal duties, now that she is feeling better, her people are hoping to see more of her when it comes to public outings.

In recent months, Kate has visited several hospital where he met with cancer patients.

Following one of those visits, she opened up of the difficult time that comes after being declared cancer-free.

“You put on a sort of brave face, stoicism through treatment. Treatment’s done, then it’s like, ‘I can crack on, get back to normal,’ but actually, the phase afterwards is really, really difficult,” Kate Middleton told People.

“You’re not necessarily under the clinical team any longer, but you’re not able to function normally at home as you perhaps once used to. And actually, someone to help talk you through that, show you and guide you through that sort of phase that comes after treatment, I think is really valuable.”

She added: “You have to find your new normal and that takes time…and it’s a rollercoaster, it’s not smooth, like you expect it to be.

“But the reality is you go through hard times.”

Most recently, the princess visited Colchester Hospital in Essex and spent time in the award-winning Colchester Wellbeing Garden.

The garden is the result of a joint initiative with NHS staff, providing both staff and patients with a place to relax.

The designer behind the project, Adam Frost, praised Kate after her visit.

“You can tell she truly understands the power of nature and what we’re trying to achieve as gardeners,” he told the garden charity RHS. “When the Princess of Wales kneels down with her hands in the soil without hesitation, you know she really gets it.”

Kate joined a team of garden volunteers to plant “Catherine’s Rose,” a rose named in her honor by the RHS.

The funds raised from the sell of the flowers benefit the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity. Additionally, 500 more plants will be gifted to community gardens across the UK this summer.

“Most of her focus was on the people she met and the conversations she’d had,” Adam Frost said of Kate. “She then shared her thoughts about the garden based on what she had just heard, which is really rewarding to hear – it’s amazing how well it’s been received.”

“I could tell she wanted to plant more. She’d definitely make a great gardening buddy,” he said, jokingly.

What everyone agreed on was that the outfit Kate Middleton chose for the occasion was spot on.

“The Princess of Wales is a ‘dream come true.’ Her manner of promoting importance causes in attire to fit each occasion is HER master class,” one user wrote.

A second fan added: “I love Catherine’s blazer style! This combo knocks my socks off!”

A third stated, “The Princess is so elegant and classy even while sporting a casual fashion look! Simply unequalled!” while a fourth said, “Her outfit is a superb choice. Smart to roll up the cuffs on the flattering striped shirt.”

Another person wrote: “I really like her clothing, sporty but elegant at the same time, the Princess has an innate elegance.” Another added: “Gorgeous. The POW looks radiant. Great look; the beige jacket is enhanced by the dark brown trousers & the darker beige striped shirt. It’s easy to get lost in an all beige ensemble. Yes, ladies, we can wear trainers & still look polished and chic.”

I attended my husband’s office party not expecting to see his other ‘wife’ there

By

It was one of those quiet night during which my husband and I spent the evening watching movies on his lap top. At one moment, he went to the bathroom and just there and then an email message popped up on the screen.

His company was throwing their annual New Year party, and for the first time ever, they allowed a plus one.

“Dear Mr. Marcus. We are happy to announce that the party is coming up! Dress code: White Party. You may bring your plus-one. Address…”

I got super hyped to finally meet his work buddies.

“Hey, hun, you got a message from work about the party, they are inviting a plus one” I said enthusiastically. However, my hubby was nowhere as thrilled as I was.

“I don’t think you should come. I’ll be working late anyways, it’s not a big deal.”

His behavior seemed a bit off, but I brushed it off believing he really didn’t care about the party.

Anyways, I thought it would be a nice surprise if I got ready and still went there not knowing I’d walk into a nightmare.

Once at the place where the party was supposed to be held — a grand hotel — the front desk manager welcomed with a smile.

“I’m Mr. Marcus’s plus one,” I said. But then the manager looked at me awkwardly and that’s when I knew something wasn’t right.

“Miss, Mr. Marcus’ plus one has already arrived alongside Mr. Marcus,” he said.

“Oh, that can’t be,” I said and asked him to double check. However, even before he said anything, I spotted my husband with another woman. They were really close, I could tell that for sure, but the crowed blocked my view. At one moment, they stared walking and I could see they were holding hands.

“No need to double check,” I said and left the place.

In the morning, I poured myself some coffee waiting for my husband to get to the kitchen. I slept in a separate room because I didn’t want to confront him right away, I just needed time till the morning to figure out what to say.

But then, the phone rang. “Mrs. Marcus, we are calling from the hospital. Your husband was involved in a car accident. He’s fine now, but we need you to come.”

“A car accident?” I thought this could be the karma catching up to him, but my real revenge was even better.

Pexels

Once at the hospital, I was informed that my husband was awake and stable but he needed an emergency surgery on his arm. The thing was that his insurance policy lapsed the month before and they needed my consent and financial authorisation in order to proceed.

I said I needed to talk to my husband first.

He looked pale and scared. I didn’t even enter the room, just stood at the door and told him I knew everything. I said I went to the party and saw him with the other woman.

He tried to defend himself, saying he made a mistake and that he was sorry, but I wasn’t buying it—not after I saw it with my own eyes.

“By the way, maybe SHE can help you cover the hospital bill,” I said and left.

Pexels

A couple of days later, I got another call from my husband. He begged me to go to the hospital and sign the forms.

It turned out the other woman didn’t want to have anything with him any more.

I wasn’t glad he found himself in such situation, but I didn’t feel sorry for him either. What I knew was that I didn’t want to be with that man any longer. He wasn’t worth my time or my money.

Elon Musk catches everyone off guard right after Trump’s bill gets approved by Congress

Elon Musk, President Trump’s former “buddy,” added fuel to the fire with a post on X right after the Congress approved the tax-cut and spending bill proposed by Trump.

The Tesla founder opposed the ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ from the start.

“I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore,” Musk wrote when the bill was proposed. “This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.”

Trump took to Truth Social to suggest that Musk’s criticism of his government’s agenda—and the bill specifically—results from its plan to eliminate the electric vehicle mandate.

“Elon may get more [subsidies] than any human being in history, by far, and without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa,” Trump wrote. “No more Rocket launches, Satellites, or Electric Car Production, and our Country would save a FORTUNE.”

Musk, who spent millions on Trump’s presidential campaign and served as the head of DOGE under Trump’s administration, caught everyone off guard when he suggested starting a third political party, the “America Party.”

On Saturday, Musk posted on X that the “America Party” has formed after polling his followers on X.

“Independence Day is the perfect time to ask if you want independence from the two-party (some would say uniparty) system! Should we create the America Party?”

Following the voting, Musk posted, “By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it!

“When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste & graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy. Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.”

According to Forbes, in response to Musk’s threats, Trump hinted that he might take away government funding from Musk’s companies and consider investigating the possibility of his deportation.

This beloved Hollywood icon defies age and embraces life

Incredibly beautiful Barbara Eden is 93 and we can all agree that she looks like she hasn’t aged a day. The I Dream of Jeannie star is as stunning as ever and we couldn’t help but share her recent photos of her with you.

Barbara Eden was born Barbara Jean Morehead on August 23, 1931. Her first public performance was singing in the church choir which later led to her being part of different bands. She studies both singing and acting and turned to be very successful in both.

Her natural beauty brought her the title Miss San Francisco in 1951.

Eden as Jeannie in a variation of the famous “Jeannie costume” seen only in the pilot episode.

Her TV career started with The Johnny Carson Show in 1955 and continued with a number of series and movies. In I Dream of Jeannie, which is her most remarkable role, she played a genie set free from her bottle. The series aired for five years.

For her last birthday, an official Barbara Eden Instagram account shared a photo of her which left fans stunned by how she looks at that age.

It said, “We wish our favorite blonde, Rider of the Wild Surf, Voyager to the Bottom of the Sea, nemesis of the Harper Valley PTA and of course, the eternal Lady in the Bottle a very happy Birthday today!”

In 1988, Barbara received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her contributions to television.

In her memoir Jeannie Out of the Bottle, which was released in 2011, she speaks of her childhood, her fame in her 20’s, as well as her marriages and the tragedy of losing her son.

This year, the actress turned 93 and says she feels age is just a number. In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, she says:“It’s like any other birthday, I’m just happy to be here. I really don’t think about it. Everybody else does but I never have. I’m looking forward to going back to work.”

Barbara is still working and doesn’t plan to retire any time soon. “I was working up until the shutdown point last March,” she told the Hollywood Reporter.

She is happy she has been part of the showbiz. “I’m very happy that I lived during that time,” she told the Hollywood Reporter. “I’m happy that I had my beginnings then, but things change. What a wonderful time now, more actors are working than ever before with all of the companies like Netflix and Amazon, all of these movies and TV shows they are producing.”

“I feel young!” Barbara told Page 6, adding that she considered herself lucky. “I feel sorry for people like my poor father who had to work every day at something he didn’t like. I enjoy my work. I still work.”

Until a few years back, she kept going to the gym, participating in spin classes, and lifting weights. Nowadays, she works with a trainer at her home.

“I have a lot of friends,” the TV legend added. “I’m pretty active socially.”

Eden recently attended a red carpet event in Beverly Hills and completely astounded everyone in attendance with her youthful looks.

She wore a navy blue satin shirt and matching black leggings, a matching set of black and silver jewelry, as well as high shoes with a pointed toe.

In 2021, she explained how she managed to keep her looks.

“I’m very careful about [my] diet,” she mentioned..

“I’m a carnivore… I like steak. We eat a lot of pork, chicken, steak [and] vegetables.”

We all have to agree that Barbara looks awesome.

I went to pick up my wife and newborn twins from the hospital

By

My heart was pounding with joy of the thought that my newborn twin daughters and my loving wife were finally coming home from the hospital.

The car was filled with a bunch of balloons, and I couldn’t wait to embrace them.

Midjourney

The moment I stepped in the hospital, I rushed towards Suzie’s room. Callie and Jessica were in their tiny beds, but my wife was not around. I thought she went outside to catch some fresh air, but then I approached my babies and noticed a note in one of the beds.

“Goodbye. Take care of them. Ask your mother WHY she did this to me.”

Midjourney

My world collapsed. At that moment, the nurse entered the room. “Good morning, sir, here’s the discharge —” she said, but I stopped her and asked about Suzie. “She checked out this morning. She said you knew.”

Defeated, I took my babies and headed home. At the porch stood my mother. She was all smiles. “Oh, Ben, they are so beautiful,” she said and tried to take the girls, but I refused to let her have them.

Midjourney

“Mom, what did you do to Suzie,” I asked her. Her face went pale, but she denied ever saying anything to my wife.

“Ben, I don’t know what you are talking about,” she said, looking all puzzled.

I didn’t know what to think. That evening, I recalled every aspect of Suzie’s pregnancy. She always seemed very happy, and nothing spoke trouble. And now, I was all by myself, alone and miserable.

Then, I thought of the seemingly meaningless barbs my mom would throw at Suzie. She would always laugh them off, but could she in fact be hurt by it?

Midjourney

I went through Suzie’s things, hoping to find answers. And there they were, inside the tiny jewelry box she adored. A letter from my mom to Suzie in which she wrote my girls and I would be better off without her in our lives. She wrote Suzie wasn’t worth and that she trapped me with the pregnancy.

As tears started rolling down my eyes for not noticing my mom’s behavior towards Suzie for so long, I confronted my mother and told her to leave my home.

She tried to defend herself, but I didn’t want to hear the word she said.

Days turned into weeks, and I struggled with diapers, sleepless nights, and a lot of crying – from both my twins and me.

Midjourney

I contacted every person that knew Suzie, but no one knew where she could be. And then, one of her closest friends, Sarah, told me how she struggled because of my mother, but was too scared to tell me, believing my mom would turn me against her.

I was a lost man. Life was getting harder and harder with each passing day, and the girls’ 1st birthday was a bittersweet moment.

I lost hope of ever seeing my wife again.

One day, while the girls were playing in the living room, someone knocked on the door.

When I opened it, I saw my wife. She looked fresh and healed.

Midjourney

I didn’t say a word, I just embraced her and started crying. It was the first time in over a year that I felt whole.

Suzie cried even heavier than me. She started apologizing, saying that my mom’s actions and the postpartum depression overwhelmed her. She convinced herself that our daughters and I would be better without her in our lives.

But over time, she sought therapy and started feeling better. That day, she was finally able to meet us again.

We were able to rebuild what we almost lost.
