Maryanne Trump Barry, the older sister of former President Donald Trump and a former federal judge, died aged 86 in November 2023.
As per ABC News, Barry’s body was found in her Fifth Avenue apartment at about 4 a.m.
Until her retirement in 2019, Barry was a senior judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit appointed to the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey by then-President Ronald Reagan in 1983 and was then appointed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in 1999 by then-President Bill Clinton.
Barry used to spoke of her father’s wealth and said during many occasions that she sort of “stepped down” because she didn’t want to be Donald’s rival in running the business. “I knew better even as a child than to even attempt to compete with Donald,” she told New York Mag. “I wouldn’t have been able to win. He was building models when he was very young. Huge buildings.”
In the book The Trumps: Three Generations That Built an Empire, she wrote: “There’s no question Donald helped me get on the bench. I was good, but not that good.”
However, despite the support the siblings had provided for one another throughout the years, The Washington Post published secretly recorded audios in which Barry could be heard describing Donald Trump as a “cruel” man with “no principles.”
“All he wants to do is appeal to his base,” Maryanne tells her niece Mary Trump in one of the recordings. “He has no principles. None. None. And his base, I mean my God, if you were a religious person, you want to help people. Not do this.”
“His g——- tweet and lying, oh my God,” the sister added. “I’m talking too freely, but you know. The change of stories. The lack of preparation. The lying. Holy s—.”
“He got into University of Pennsylvania because he had somebody take the exams,” Maryanne Trump Barry said in the recording. “SATs or whatever. That’s what I believe.”
At the time, the White House rejected these allegations.
Barry was married to the late John Barry, a trial and appellate lawyer.
At the time of her death it was determined that there were no signs of trauma or foul play. According to sources, emergency crews responded to a call of a person in cardiac arrest.
May she rest in peace.

The 2020 Democratic National Convention took place in August, and among the speakers that took part, including former president Barack Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers and more, was John Bouvier Kennedy “Jack” Schlossberg, John F Kennedy’s only grandson.
Jack and his mother Caroline Kennedy offered their support to presidential candidate Joe Biden.

In fact, Jack has been taking a stand regarding political issues and subjects before and has written against conservative politicians in The Washington Post, The New York Times and Time Magazine.
During his speech at the convention, Jack referenced his grandfather’s, the 35th President of the United States, remarks from the time he himself accepted the presidency nomination 60 years ago and said, “Times have changed, but the themes of my grandfather’s speech—courage, unity and patriotism—are as important today as they were in 1960.”
Twitter
However, a bit more noticeable than people’s fascination with his political interest is his looks that many couldn’t help but comment on. As it turns out, Jack resembles his grandfather and his uncle John F. Kennedy Jr., who died in a plane crash in 1999, a lot.
“Good looks really do run in the family then! What a gorgeous man. His granddad would be so proud I bet,” one person wrote.
“I just gasped. Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg’s son looks remarkably like her late brother/his late uncle JFK, Jr. Wow,” another user tweeted.

He graduated from Yale University in 2015 and earned a degree in history.
In the fall of 2017 he entered Harvard Law School and in the fall of 2018 he entered Harvard Business School.
“I’m inspired by my family’s legacy of public service,” Schlossberg said in his first live interview on Today in 2017. “It’s something that I’m very proud of.”
He graduated from the university in 2022, and in April 2023 he shared that he had passed the New York State bar exam.
He and his mom are very close. She worked as a U.S. ambassador in Japan from 2013 to 2017 and her son was spotted there with her during several occasions.
At one point, he served as a Senate page and intern, just like his mother, and worked under the tutelage of former Secretary of State John Kerry — who once provided insight into his character saying, “A sense of humor is not genetic, but apparently in the Kennedy family it can be inherited. In President Kennedy’s grandson, Jack Schlossberg, this quality seems to abide.”
When it comes to his love life, media outlets reported how he and his girlfriend of many years, Krissy Jones, a yoga teacher and studio owner, broke up in 2019. He’s allegedly dating someone else, a girl whom he met at a festival.
Jack is a huge fan of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. When the actor learned of Jack’s fascination with him, he decided to surprise him with a recorded video message for his 27th birthday. Jack loved it and said “it was the greatest day of my life.”
No matter if you share his political views or not, one thing is certain, Jack is a charming young man who wants to keep his grandfather’s legacy alive.

No matter how appealing tattoos are for some people, having one on the face always ignites debates.
Oriini Kaipara, aged 41, broke new ground as a television personality, achieving a historic milestone by becoming the inaugural primetime TV news bulletin presenter with a moko kauae, a highly respected cultural tattoo traditionally worn by Māori women, upon joining New Zealand’s Newshub as a newsreader.
Moko kauae, or sacred female chin tattoo, is a cultural and spiritual expression of Māori identity and an assertion of political, cultural, social and spiritual aspirations as whānau, as hapū, as iwi, as Māori. These facial tattoos, traditionally adorned on the lips and chin, symbolize a woman’s family ties, her role as a leader within her community, and serve as a tribute to her ancestry, position, and abilities.
Besides all this, a viewer signed as David sent an e-mail to Newshub describing his discontent with the presenter’s tattoo.
“We continue to object strongly to you using a Māori newsreader with a moku [moko] which is offensive and aggressive looking,” he wrote, per the Daily Mail. “A bad look. She also bursts into the Māori language which we do not understand. Stop it now.”
Kaipapa decided to address the issue publicly by sharing David’s message on Instagram, responding with dignity.
“Today I had enough. I responded. I never do that, I broke my own code and hit the send button,” she wrote on an Instagram story.
The presenter added that she couldn’t take his remarks seriously “given there is no breach of broadcast standards.”
Correcting his spelling of moko, which he spelled moku, she added: “I gather your complaints stem from a place of preference on how one must look on-screen according to you. Moko and people with them are not threatening nor do they deserve such discrimination, harassment and prejudice.
“We mean no harm or ill intent nor do we/I deserve to be treated with such disregard,” she continued. “Please refrain from complaining further, and restrain your cultural ignorance and bias for another lifetime, preferably in the 1800s.”
Kaipara wrote that despite David’s criticism, she receives positive comments about her tattoo from most people.
“The fact that my existence triggers some people is testament to why we need more Māori advocates in key roles across every sector,” she said in an interview with New Zealand Herald.
Kaipara’s response is a poignant reminder of the significance of cultural pride and resilience when confronted with challenges. She serves as an inspiration for others to confidently embrace their identities and confront discriminatory beliefs without hesitation.

Two young lives, and that of their grandmother, were cut short because of a reckless driver who was reported to have been reading text messages at the time of the crash.
What was supposed to be a day of fun for the Newville family turned into a tragedy.
It was back in 2017 when Linda irie, 50, was taking her three grandchildren five-year-old Jace Newville, nine-year-old Brooklynn Newville, and their cousin Isabella Anthony, 6, for a ride to pick a lamb for their Easter photoshoot. Unfortunately, as she was driving down the Turner Turnpike near Wellston, Oklahoma, they were rear ended by a 17-year-old man, who forced Irie’s car to collide with two other vehicles.
Irie, Jace, and Brooklynn were pronounced dead at the scene. Isabella was the only survivor.
Brian and Shaneé Newville, the killed children’s parents, were inconsolable. Their world shattered in a million pieces and moving on was never an option, not even today, seven years after the tragic crash.
“We’ve had to move a couple times, can’t really walk into the house anymore, see where the kids used to be,” said Brian said.
Shaneé, who’s since separated from Brian, shared an emotional Facebook post: “Being alive is hard. I wake up and cry, take a shower and cry, put on my make up and cry.” Shaneé, who also lost her mom in the crash, continued, “The people who loved me the most are gone. It feels like god took them on vacation with Mima. But it isn’t the truth, they are never coming back.”
Months following Jace and Brooklynn’s passing, their parents finally gathered the strength to go through their stuff when they stumbled upon Brooklynn’s bucket list, covering a large range of things she dreamed to see and do.
There were plenty of things written down such as seeing a moose, scuba diving, getting a drone, visiting an ice bar in Alaska and seeing the Golden Gate Bridge.
“She always wanted to go hunting with me,” Brian, unable to stop tears from running down his face, said. “Never got a chance to.”
At the time, the parents said they would do all it takes to live out Brookie’s dreams for her.
A year after the tragic accident, Noah DeDear, of Durango, Colorado, was charged with three counts of manslaughter after he was accused of causing the crash that killed Irie and her two grandchildren.
At the time he caused the crash, DeDear was days away fro his 18th birthday and is facing trial as an adult.
He denied reading text messages on his phone at the time of the incident, but confessed he was texting his grandma and his girlfriend moments before.
Brian, furious with the constant delays of the trial, told News 4 in 2019, “This doesn’t make any sense. Why somebody can kill three innocent lives, two children and a grandmother, and still be allowed to walk free, while the family is sitting here in pain, agony, wanting closure and we can’t get it.”
Finally, in 2021, a selection of jury was made, the family announced.
They wish no one ever experience the pain of losing a child and are urging drivers to never use their phones while driving by setting up a campaign “Put it Down.”
“We are putting out our campaign, Put it Down, so people will put their phones down,” Brian said. “It doesn’t matter if it’s your phone, or food, it’s anything in the car, while you’re driving: Put it down.”
We are so sorry for the loss of these two beautiful souls and their grandma. May they rest in peace.

On March 22, 2024, Kate Middleton shared a video in which she opened up of her cancer diagnosis. At the same time, King Charles is also battling cancer and is receiving weekly treatments in London. Amidst their fight with the disease, it is Queen Camilla and Prince William who have been performing royal duties.
It’s safe to say that the royals are going through rough times, and that didn’t start with Kate’s and Charles’ diagnosis.
Unfortunately, what triggered relationships to be affected and bridges to be burned was Harry and Meghan‘s decision to step down from their royal duties some four years ago. They took a flight to America, which they referred to as to a “Freedom Flight,” and left Britain behind in order to get away from the media scrutiny.

However, what happened was just the opposite. Instead of turning to a quiet life they claimed they longed for, Harry and Meghan got exposed in the media as never before.
They gave Oprah an interview in which they opened up of the royal life, accusing the members of the Firm of racism and turning a blind eye to Meghan’s mental issues.
The most startling revelation came when Meghan asserted that discussions had taken place within the palace regarding the potential darkness of Archie’s skin.
When questioned by Oprah about this, Meghan responded, expressing her inability to probe further into the matter. She refrained from disclosing the identity of the individual involved, stating that it could cause significant harm to them.
What added fuel to the fire was the couple’s Netflix series and Harry’s book Spare in which he revealed plenty of sensitive details about his family. Among the rest, he spoke of his father and how he didn’t hugged him when the news of his mother’s passing reached him, said he wondered if Camilla would be cruel to him “like all the wicked stepmothers in storybooks,” and discussed the alleged feud between Meghan and Kate.

Harry wrote that on their wedding day, Kate made Meghan cry and detailed the alleged row between Meghan and Kate whose relationship could be described as picture perfect back in the day when the two could be seen hanging out together during numerous royal occasions, as well as a tennis match.
According to Harry, Kate wasn’t happy with Princess Charlotte’s dress, who was a flower-girl.
However, although Kate claimed her daughter was in distress because of the dress, which allegedly was “too big, too long, too baggy,” she refused to meet Meghan’s tailor at Kensington Palace to have it fixed.
“Meg asked if Kate was aware of what was going on right now. With her father,” Harry said. “Kate said she was well aware, but the dresses. And the wedding is in four days!”
“I’m not sure what else to say. If the dress doesn’t fit then, please take Charlotte to see Ajay. He’s been waiting all day,” Meghan texted Kate, according to Harry.
Kate replied with, “Fine.”

Harry further wrote that when he arrived home, he found his then future wife sobbing on the floor. “It was intolerable but temporary. Kate hadn’t meant any harm, I told her.”
In their book Finding Freedom, authors Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand claimed that “Meghan would agree with the assessment that the duchesses were not the best of friends,” and that “their relationship hadn’t progressed much since [Markle] was Harry’s girlfriend.”
According to them, Kate wasn’t welcoming and didn’t take Meghan under her wing as most people expected. Out of everyone in the family, she knew best what it was like to be getting inside the Firm as a ‘newcomer.’
“Meghan was disappointed that she and Kate hadn’t bonded over the position they shared, but she wasn’t losing sleep over it,” Durand and Scobie wrote, adding that “Meghan would far rather have had Kate check in on her during the most difficult times with the press.”

However, when the Sussexes learned of Kate’s surgery and Charles’ cancer diagnosis, they reached to them. Harry jetted to his homeland to spend time with his father. The trip to his homeland was swift, and of course, it didn’t end without controversy. The two were said to have had several “warm exchanges” during Harry’s visit, and their meeting lasted about 30 minutes. However, that Harry could possibly return to royal life was not something William was having a bar of.
“Whatever has been discussed between William and the King is private, but it is absolutely and categorically clear that he [William] would not allow Harry to return. He thought it was a bad idea at the time and he’s even more clear now,” a source shared with The Mirror.
Prince William was said to had no intentions of meeting with his brother, and as per Radar Online, Camilla wasn’t happy with the fact Harry met Charles without the Palace’s approval.
“Her Majesty was furious Harry flew in from his ritzy California home without getting palace approval — and came with an attitude,” a source is said to have told the National Enquirer.

The same report stated that Harry asked from Camilla to leave the room because he wanted to talk to his father in private. “I’m told Camilla was outraged,” the source went on. “She’s taken a lot of bile from Harry for years and couldn’t wait to let him have it.”
The source continued: “Camilla has taken it all on the chin, but using her husband’s cancer as a ‘loving son’ PR stunt was the last straw. After the father-son reunion, I hear she told Harry he’s a disgrace to his father, the family, and the monarchy – and she left no doubt he isn’t wanted back!”
According to royal author Lady C (Lady Colin Campbell) the Harry and Meghan feud actually has brought King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, and Kate Middleton closer together.
She stated that the four senior royals are “almost a unit,” adding that they “function in keeping with the best interest” of each other and not only the monarchy.
“Because they’re all very decent, family orientated, and loving people who want everything to go as well as it can. They’re very positive, the four of them. All this adversity, not only the health issues, but all of the problems with Harry and Meghan has brought them all together,” Lady C said.

Further, she claimed that the chances of King Charles asking from the Sussexes to return to their royal duties are nonexistent.
Moreover, Lady C claimed that Harry and Meghan don’t regret leaving royal life.
“I don’t think Meghan is capable of regret, she isn’t Kate. Her personality type is not that of somebody who learns from their mistake, and she blames everybody else for her errors;” Lady C said on GB News.
“She’s tried every trick in the book to keep herself absolved of all responsibility. I’ve been told that she is enraged by the situation because no matter what she does, it flops. No matter what Catherine does, even when she does nothing, it succeeds. And I mean, that’s infuriating for her personal life.”
“You see, it was it wasn’t only about the position, it was about the money,” she concluded. “Meghan came into the Royal Family with the expectation that she would be able to milk those udders and that she was going to be able to end up having a billionaire lifestyle.”

A California woman named Lauren Wasser is sharing her life story in order to prevent other women to go through the ordeal she has gone through all because of a common product.
Back in 2012, this model went to the hospital because she experienced flu like symptoms that wouldn’t go away. Sadly, once doctors ran tests, they determined that it wasn’t flu that caused Lauren discomfort but toxic shock syndrome caused by bacterial toxins.
It was determined that the cause which led to the infection was a tampon. If left for long hours, tampons can cause this infection which leads to a toxic shock syndrome or TTS.
Sadly, Lauren was in coma for over a week and doctors were forced to amputate her leg because of the infection upon awakening. At the time, she was only 24 years old.
Ever since this tragic event, Lauren made it her goal to raise awareness and fighting a legal battle against Kotex Natural Balance, the brand of tampons that caused her to react so severely.
In a few months, I’m inevitably going to have my other leg amputated. There’s nothing I can do about it. But what I can do is help make sure that this doesn’t happen to others,” Lauren tells The Daily Mail.
“Considering that the vagi**a is the most absorbent part of a woman’s body and is a gateway to many of our vital organs, it is crucial that consumers know the reality of what could happen to them,” she writes in InStyle.
Following the second amputation, Lauren posed alongside Paralympic athlete Amy Purdy, who also had her legs amputated.
“Life is about to be so different, again! I’m in great spirits though and ready for my next chapter. ???♀️??♂️ // photo by my love @camraface,” she wrote in the caption.
We are cheering for Lauren who is determined to live her life to the fullest regardless of the obstacles and the pain she was forced to go through.

The news of the separation of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie took the world by storm. All of a sudden, one of the most famous and most influential Hollywood couples was no longer a thing and fans wondered what led to the break up of what seemed to be a perfect relationship.
Their lengthy custody battle made their divorce one of the nastiest ones the public has ever seen taking place between celebrities.
When Jolie filed for divorce, she stated that she questioned her husband’s parenting method claiming Pitt allegedly attacked Maddox during a fight. This triggered an investigation in which the Los Angeles County Department of Children got involved but no charges were pressed.
Now, years after their separation, reports are that a new court filing has alleged that Brad Pitt’s “physical abuse” against his ex-wife began before the now infamous 2016 plane incident.

Things turned even more heated between the exes over the sale of a French winery they bought while still together.
In 2022, Pitt sued his former spouse’s company Nouvel for selling her half of the winery claiming the two had an agreement not to sell their part without the approval of the other and her act of selling her part “jeopardize[d] the reputation of the business that Pitt so carefully built.”
On January 21, 2021, Jolie emailed her ex-husband, and that email became public. In it, she states that she writes “with a heavy heart,” informing Pitt of her decision to sell Miraval, “a business that is centered around alcohol.” Many believe this is a reference to the above mentioned plane incident during which Pitt allegedly chocked Maddox and then poured alcohol on her and the children.

The Maleficent star further wrote, “Even now impossible to write this without crying.
“Above all, it is the place we brought the twins home to, and where we were married over a plaque in my mother’s memory. A place…where I thought I would grow old…. But it is also the place that marks the beginning of the end of our family.
“Miraval for me died September 2016,” she continued, “and everything I have seen in the years since has sadly confirmed that.”
It was reported at the time that Pitt offered to buy her part but the business deal failed as a result of their ongoing divorce proceedings.
Jolie struck back, submitting sealed documents which involved information regarding the plane incident, after which Pitt asked Jolie to sign an NDA which prohibited her from “discussing outside of court any of Pitt’s personal conduct toward her or the family” for the sale of the property.
She dubbed the request an “unconscionable gag order.”

News reports suggest that fresh papers from Jolie’s legal team were submitted to Los Angeles Superior Court on Thursday, April 4, which imply that the physical abuse by Pitt started before the plane incident.
“While Pitt’s history of physical abuse of Jolie started well before the family’s September 2016 plane trip from France to Los Angeles, this flight marked the first time he turned his physical abuse on the children as well. Jolie then immediately left him,” a copy of the motion obtained by CNN read.
The papers don’t provide further details but intent to “prove through through testimony, emails, photographs, and other evidence why Pitt was so concerned about his own misconduct that he blew up his own deal to purchase Jolie’s interest in Miraval because she refused to agree to his new, expansive NDA.”
Pitt hasn’t spoken of Jolie’s action, but a source close to him was reported to have said, “This is a pattern of behavior – whenever there is a decision that goes against the other side they consistently choose to introduce misleading, inaccurate and/or irrelevant information as a distraction.
“There was a lengthy custody trial that involved the entire history of their relationship and a judge who heard all the evidence still granted him 50/50 custody.”

The bond between King Charles and Kate Middleton has always been an extraordinary one. Currently, they both receive treatments for cancer. The news of Charles’ cancer diagnosis following a procedure for an enlarged prostate came around the same time when the Palace announced The Princess of Wales would be undergoing a planned abdominal surgery.
However, while the King detailed his exact diagnosis which required a surgery, Kate hadn’t done that.
Although Kate is entitled not to provide any medical details, the public wasn’t happy she kept the exact reason of her abdominal surgery private. As per the Palace, she was supposed to recover from her surgery and be able to return to her royal duties around Easter, but then, on March 22, amidst the rumors and speculations surrounding her health and whereabouts, Kate released a video in which she opened up of her cancer diagnosis which was discovered by doctors after running tests following her surgery.

“My medical team, therefore, advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy, and I am now in the early stages of that treatment. This, of course, came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family,” she said in video, among the rest, and asked for privacy.
In the absence of Kate and Charles, it is their respected spouses, Prince William and Queen Camilla, who stepped in and took on most of the royal duties.
Over the years, Kate and Charles has shown that the bond between them is truly an unbreakable one.
Prince William and Kate MIddleton arrived at St. Paul’s Cathedral for the thanksgiving service marking Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022, then-Prince Charles blew Kate a kiss, an act highly adored by royal fans who were quick to comment with one writing that Kate is the daughter Charles has always wanted.

When Kate disclosed her diagnosis with the public, she received support from fans and family, and of course, King Charles was among them. Charles said he was “so proud of Catherine for her courage in speaking as she did” and added that the monarch has “remained in the closest contact with his beloved daughter-in-law throughout the past weeks.”
Speaking of her importance and influence within the royal family, it has been said that Kate is the reason for the strong relationship between Charles and William, which hasn’t always been the perfect one. In fact, the father and son has gone through some rocky times over the years and their relationship was on and off, but Kate played an essential role in bringing them closer together.
Speaking on The Royal Beat, royal commentator Victoria Arbiter explained that Prince William and King CHarles’ relationship “hasn’t always been the easiest.”
Moreover, she stated that Kate Midleton has been the key person in helping them establish a tighter bond, as she acts as a “healing balm.”
“I think we can look at Kate – she’s so close to her own family, family is so important to her. [The Princess of Wales has been a really wonderful healing balm for Prince William and his father as well. Because that relationship hasn’t always been the easiest,” Arbiter said.
“I think she’s just managed to bring a real sense of warmth and camaraderie and family to the Royal Family.”

Victoria Arbiter further said that going through the same struggle of battling cancer at the same time has only made the bond between Kate and Charles even stronger, adding that they “would have found tremendous comfort in each other, going through something so similar.”
According to reports, during the time Kate was staying at the London Hospital following her surgery, and Charles was just starting his treatments at the time, he visited his daughter-in-law.
“He has always had a very good bond with her. I don’t think it is presumptuous to say that she is like the daughter he never had,” royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith told People. “He shares with William an impulse to protect her. They are in this together, Kate and the King.”
A source close to the family told the outlet that since Charles and Kate are “two patients going through a common health experience,” they “are bound to have a close connection.” Moreover, the source added. “imagine there was some comfort [for Kate] in seeing that it was possible to balance some private information without there being an imperative to share all.”

A day before she shared her diagnosis with the public, it was reported that Kate and the King had a private lunch together at Windsor Castle.
That the King is very supportive of Kate is very obvious, but according to royal experts he’s also very worried for her condition.
Speaking with Hello! Magazine, Robert Hardman, author of Charles III: New King, New Court, said, “It’s very clear that he’s extremely concerned about her. I think he wants to make sure as much as he can that if there’s anything he can do, he will do, because, for a very fit and healthy young mother, this is a different order of magnitude to someone having to deal with this in their 70s.”
He firther added: “I’m sure he’s been a source of comfort for her in the same way she’s probably been a source of comfort for him. I think it cannot but have brought them even closer together. He’s always had a huge regard for his daughter-in-law. He thinks she’s just wonderful.
“When people are in hospital, they don’t really want a fuss. But the fact was: the King was there, she was there, and the Queen was there with him as well. And they did go around to check and reassure the Princess. It’s a reminder that the Windsors are mortals like the rest of us. And we have to have great sympathy with the fact that they are undergoing an absolute shock of a lifetime, except they’re having to undergo it with all of us talking about it.”
