Elon Musk, the owner of X (formerly Twitter), Tesla and SpaceX, who tends to play a bigger role in the fast-growing world of artificial intelligence, has shown that behind the money and power lies a man who would step up for those in need.

Allegedly, while waiting for his coffee at Starbucks, the tech genius overheard a cashier speaking to a co-worker about her daughter’s upcoming birthday. The cashier mentioned that despite working long hours, she wasn’t able to afford something special for her girl.

Witnesses said that Elon Musk stepped in and engaged in a conversation with the employee, asking her about her daughter, and her likes and dislikes.

To the cashier’s surprise, Elon Musk not only offered words of encouragement, but also showed that he had a heart of gold by offering to purchase the gift himself.

Allegedly, he placed the order right there and then, and had the gift delivered to the cashier’s address.

Once people shared the story on social media, it quickly went viral and attracted the attention of many

A number of netizens were skeptical that this actually occurred and questioned the authenticity of the event, but there were also those who didn’t doubt it.

Those who believed the story was genuine applauded the businessman and dubbed his gesture thoughtful.

Some added that it is refreshing to witness someone in the position of power and money like Elon Musk to pay attention to the everyday struggles of ordinary people, such as a cashier from a local caffee.

Every act of kindness, no matter how small, can go a long way. It can inspire each and every one of us to do good and be the change we want to see in the world.

Hidden detail in Melania photo has everybody talking

By

-

Melania Trump’s appearance has changed over the years, leading some to believe in the conspiracy theory that she may have used a body double on certain occasions.

However, specialists attribute the First Lady‘s altered appearance to the use of botox, fillers, and a possible nose job.

In a 2016 interview with GQ, the Slovenian-born former model claimed she’s all natural.

“I didn’t make any changes,” she said. “A lot of people say I am using all the procedures for my face. I didn’t do anything. I live a healthy life; I take care of my skin and my body. I’m against Botox, I’m against injections; I think it’s damaging your face, damaging your nerves. It’s all me. I will age gracefully, as my mom does.”

On the day of the 2024 elections, which her husband won, Melania was spotted wearing unusually large sunglasses indoors.

People started questioning her fashion choice, and many speculated that her wearing sunglasses was related to having had some form of cosmetic work done on her face.

That, or that wasn’t Melania at all, but her body double. This led to the conspiracy theory that went viral, along with the hashtag #FakeMelania.

“Why is Trump using a quite bad #FakeMelania stand-in with gigantic shades at the polling station? LOL Total madness!” someone wrote on X.

Another shared a photo of her standing next to her husband at the voting poles, with the caption:  “They brought back #fakemelania for the series finale!” 

A third added, “Absolutely walking around with a fake Melania. Refuses to take her sunglasses off indoors. Not her face, not her nose, not her hair and she actually smiled, so definitely not her.”

Dr. Dennis Schimpf, a South Carolina-based cosmetic plastic surgeon, believes the First Lady “probably had additional filler work done anticipating” the media attention she received during and following the elections.

Another surgeon, Dr. Thomas Barnes, said “[Melania] just looked plain tired.”

Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie said there are visible signs of fillers and a nose job on the First Lady.

“But I have noticed a change in her nose. Noses don’t typically get smaller as they get older; they get bigger, but hers is definitely smaller and more defined, so I am very suspicious for at least one rhinoplasty [nose job],” he said. “I do think she’s likely doing the maintenance work as well—fillers, particularly in the mid-face, cheeks, maybe a touch in the lips, and the standard Botox upkeep.”

People were quick to provide their opinions, with one person writing, “There’s no denying she’s always been a beautiful woman… but please, who is she trying to kid by saying she’s not had any work done? Own it; we wouldn’t think any less of you. You get a pass for having put up with Trump all these years.”

Another wrote: “With her money and the pressure on women in the USA to look 25 at 75 of course she has! They all do it and they all deny it saying it’s down to good nutrition and Nivea cream!” 

No matter what, Melania is indeed a very beautiful woman.

Hope Gordon, a 6-year-old school girl from West Calder, Scotland, and her father, Mark Gordon, 36, were found dead in their family home.

Police went to check on the girl after she failed to attend school on Monday, January 20.

”Police Scotland responded to what we class as a ‘concern for’ call on Monday January 20,” Chief Superintendent Gregg Banks said. ”That call related to concern from a family member around their child failing to attend school.”

Gordon and Hope’s mother shared custody. However, according to authorities, the girl was staying with her dad for some time.

Officials stated there was no evidence at the time to suggest third-party involvement.

Following a post-mortem investigation, Police Scotland said the tragic incident is being treated as a suspected murder-suicide, as per The Sun.

Detective Superintendent Grant Hendry, of the Major Investigation Team, said: “Our thoughts remain with Hope’s family and friends, along with everyone affected by this tragedy.

“The families are understandably devastated and we are providing them with support through specialist officers at this extremely difficult time.

“Our team of officers continue to carry out enquiries to get answers for the families and at this time, we have no information to suggest anyone else is involved.

DCI Williamson asked from the public to help with the ongoing investigation.

“I would ask that anyone with any information, no matter how small or insignificant you think it is, gets in touch with officers.”

Chief Superintendent Gregg Banks said the shock withing the community is understandable. However, there is no wider risk for the public since the tragedy is an isolated incident.

“We are working tirelessly to understand what happened within the property and answer questions from devastated family members.”

Hope was a student at Toronto Primary School in Livingston.

Fiona Linfoot, a head teacher, said Hope was “a bright, bubbly and affectionate girl.”

“Hope was a much-loved member of the Toronto Primary family. She will be hugely missed by all her friends and school staff.”

“We will really miss her infectious smile and kind heart.”

Our thoughts and prayers go to the grieving family.

Legal expert warns that Biden’s pardons for Cheney, Fauci, and others could backfire

By
Monica Pop
-

Before leaving office, former President Joe Biden issued pardons to key allies in an attempt to protect them from Trump’s administration. Many dubbed the move smart and strategic.

However, this decision may easily backfire, and here’s why.

Among the individuals Biden pardoned are Liz Cheney, a Republican congresswoman from Wyoming and co-chair of the Jan. 6 Committee, and Dr. Anthony Fauci, the leading expert on infectious diseases who played a crucial role during the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, General Mark Milley, the former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

In a Monday statement, Biden said, “These public servants have served our nation with honor and distinction and do not deserve to be the targets of unjustified and politically motivated prosecutions.”

If Congress subpoenas them to testify in the future, the individuals granted clemency, among which Biden’s siblings and their spouses, will not be able to invoke the Fifth Amendment.

“The pardons are actually great news. No one who was just pardoned will be able to refuse to testify in a civil, criminal, or congressional proceeding based upon the 5th Amendment. And let’s just be realistic. Most of these disgusting individuals would probably have to be charged in Washington, DC, which doesn’t convict partisan leftists,” federal litigation attorney Jesse Binnall pointed out on X.

Some believe the pardons undermine the integrity of the justice system.

Retired U.S. Army officer and lawyer Kurt Schlichter commented on the matter. “This is key – the depositions and the actual testimony must take place outside of Washington DC,” he wrote on X.

“Washington DC is a biased venue that will not convict Democrats when they commit perjury. Accordingly, take this show on the road.”

Following the pardons, House Oversight Committee Republicans reminded that the former president previously pardoned his son. “Joe Biden will be remembered for using his last few weeks in office to shield his son from the law and protect himself,” they wrote.

“President Biden’s preemptive pardons for the Biden Crime Family serve as a confession of their corruption as they sold out the American people to enrich themselves,. Our investigation revealed that at least ten members of the Biden Crime Family and their associates raked in over $30 million by selling Joe Biden’s influence to corrupt foreign entities and individuals in China, Russia, Ukraine, Romania, and Kazakhstan.”

This decision Biden made in the final hours of his service as a president may influence future clemency policies. Pardons may become strategic tools easily misused by those holding the power.

Those receiving Biden’s pardons have all faced intense criticism from Trump and his allies.

Daughter of George W Bush comments on Barack Obama being a ‘bad influence’ after a lip reader reveals inauguration exchange

The inauguration of President Donald Trump was attended by the likes of Bill and Hillary Clinton, George W Bush and Laura Bush, and Barack Obama, who attended the event without his wife.

At one point, former President George W Bush stole the attention with his antics, which his daughter, Jenna Bush Hager, jokes warns him about.

Speaking on Today, she discussed with her co-workers the clip of her father at Trump’s inauguration that has since gone viral.

“He goes viral for basically anything, he didn’t do anything!” Hager told co-host Scarlett Johansson laughingly about the video of Bush raising his eyebrows in a cheeky way. “I mean, that’s what his face looks like.”

Instagram (@jennabhager)

“You all already guessed what moment has been blowing up our family group chat,” she added.

But as Hager said, we shouldn’t only blame her dad because he “was also seated next to a bad influence,” referring to Obama.

Of course, she was just joking, trying to highlight the friendship between the two former presidents.

“Take a look at what former President Barack Obama had to say,” Hager said before a video of the exchange between Barack Obama and George W Bush was played. “I just love how when they’re together, they become unusual friends,” she added.

Previously, lip-reader Jackie G, who is deaf, shared on Instagram what she thought Bush and Obama said to each other at the inauguration.

“Good to see you,” Obama said, and then added with a smile: “How can we stop what’s happening?”

Jackie G wrote that “Lip reading is not a reliable form of communication, all statements are alleged.” She captioned her post: “Obama ‘just barely’ behaving.”

JFK’s grandson speaks out as Trump orders release of assassination files

By
Monica Pop
-

President Trump’s decision to sign an executive order that allows classified documents related to the 1963 assassination of President John F Kennedy to be released triggered criticism from Jack Schlossberg, JFK’s grandson.

Trump believes that the public deserves to know the whole truth surrounding the assassination of the former president, as well as the details surrounding the execution of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and Senator Robert F Kennedy.

The executive order signed by President Trump states: “More than 50 years after the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F Kennedy, and the Rev Dr Martin Luther King, Jr, the federal government has not released to the public all of its records related to those events.”

It continued: “Their families and the American people deserve transparency and truth. It is in the national interest to finally release all records related to these assassinations without delay.”

Signing the order, Trump turned to the reporters and said, “Everything will be revealed.”

The assassinations of President John F Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and the Rev Dr Martin Luther King, Jr. were carried out by lone gunman, and the fact that records with details of the killings remained classified for many years triggered a number of conspiracy theories.

“Lot of people are waiting for this for a long, long time, for years, for decades, and everything will be revealed,” Trump said.

Twitter

As some applauded Trump’s decision, Jack Schlossberg, JFK’s grandson, opposed it.

“JFK conspiracy theories — The truth is a lot sadder than the myth — a tragedy that didn’t need to happen. Not part of an inevitable grand scheme.

“Declassification is using JFK as a political prop, when he’s not here to punch back. There’s nothing heroic about it,” he posted on X.

A number of people commented on the post, asking if Schlossberg has actually seen the files, to what he replied, “I know everything d***.”

“Imagine not wanting to know how your grandfather died… how weird,” someone wrote.

The son of late Senator Robert F Kennedy, Robert F Kennedy Jr., whom Trump nominated as secretary of the U.S. Health and Human Services Department, told NBC News, “I’m very grateful to President Trump.” 

“I think it’s a great move, because they need to have more transparency in our government, and he’s keeping his promise to have the government tell the truth to the American people about everything,” Kennedy Jr. said.

President Kennedy was killed on Nov. 22, 1963, after being shot while riding in a motorcade in Dallas, Texas. His brother was assassinated five years later. At the time, he represented New York in the U.S. Senate.

Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was shot on April 4, 1968 while standing on a balcony of a motel in Memphis, Tennessee.

President Trump believes that the release of the files is “long overdue.”

People are starting to see how Trump’s revocation of the Equal Employment Opportunity influenced workers

By

Donald Trump’s inauguration ceremony was marked by tradition, the presence of established political figures. But also with a number of executive actions reflecting his administration’s priorities. The new president signed 25 executive orders on the day he took office, and a particular one stood out – the revocation of Executive Order 11246, known as Equal Employment Opportunity.

This order, which was signed by former President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965, has served as a key policy in preventing discrimination in federal employment while ensuring equal opportunities for all.

It bans discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin thus obliges federal contractors to adopt diversity-focused affirmative action plans.

Revoking the Equal Employment Opportunity order doesn’t mean discrimination is now legal. However, it certainly means it is a step toward weakening defenses against racism and other biases.

Trump spoke openly about his plan to revoke the Equal Employment Order before heading to the White House. He said it was necessary to backpedal DEI programs because they are “dangerous, demeaning, and immoral.”

Trump, and other republicans, believe the DEI policies (diversity, equity, and inclusion) disadvantage people in majority groups in an unfair way. 

<script async src=”https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js” charset=”utf-8″>

While revoking the order, Trump can’t revoke the Equal Employment Opportunity Act since it represents a law that was passed by Congress and signed by former president Richard Nixon in 1972.

Nonetheless, Trump’s action triggered criticism. 

“Good for straight white males. Bad for everyone else,” someone posted on the social media. 

Basil Smikle Jr, a political strategist and policy advisor, commented: “There’s this clear effort to hinder, if not erode, the political and economic power of people of color and women.

“What it does is opens up the door for more cronyism.”

What did Barron Trump say to Joe Biden at his dad’s inauguration? It sparked an online debate

By
Monica Pop
-

Is it safe to say that it was Donald Trump‘s youngest son, Barron Trump, that stole the show at his father’s inauguration? According to many, the answer is a resounding yes.

Barron, who is now 18, began his freshman year at New York University’s Stern School of Business in September 2024. He’s reportedly pursuing a degree in business and finance.

At the time being, the young Trump is residing at Trump Tower in Midtown Manhattan, commuting to campus for his classes.

According to his mother, who spoke to Fox in September, 2024, “It was [Barron’s] decision to come here, that he wants to be in New York and study in New York and live in his home.”

However, according to an insider, she wants to keep a watchful eye on her son.

“Living in a dorm in a college town isn’t in the stars for him at this point,” an insider told People in December 2024 when speaking about Barron’s living situation. “Melania feels it’s better to be around him as much as possible.” 

Body language expert Judy James spoke of Barron Trump and his appearance at his father’s inauguration, saying that now the boy is all grown up, he’s “working as a sweeper.”

“This means he tends to arrive and leave behind his parents, but instead of just walking off behind them as he did when he was younger, he spends time shaking hands and offering gracious-looking words,” James continued, concluding by saying that “defines” Barron’s presence and status without having to compete with his father.”

“He lets everyone know that he is becoming a force to be reckoned with in his own right and because of his height and the increase in his confidence signals, it gives him a rather princely air, presence-wise. Biden had been on the receiving end of a flame-thrower speech from Trump, where he had sat in a variety of poses including pained deflation and bravado smiling as his entire four years in office were scorched to ashes.”

One thing that caught everyone’s attention was Barron’s quick interaction with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

According to lip reader Jeremy Freeman, Barron greeted Biden saying, “G’day to you sir” before turning to Harris with the words, “Ma’am, good day.”

Biden replied, “It’s good to see you, man.”

Body language expert Judy James said Barron “very confidently” and “charmingly” bent to shake hands with Biden.

“And although Biden’s face seems to fall as though Barron has passed on some kind of sinister threat or message, the truth was less dramatic as Barron seemed to be leaning to greet Kamala and Biden’s face was registering the fact that he’d finished his greeting ritual with Trump’s son,” James said.

As expected, people praised the young gentleman for his action, dubbing him as well-mannered and saying his mother did an awesome job raising him.
