The jewelry we wear can say a lot about us because it not only reveals our preferences, but also our style, culture, and even our emotions and traits.

While some opt for simple, elegant items, other prefer bold eye-catching pieces.

This fun personality test will reveal your truest trait based on the ring you choose.

1. The Free Spirit

If the ring number one is your first choice, it means you are a free spirit who longs for adventures. You are someone who admires the nature and loves being outdoors. Also, appreciate life’s simple pleasures. Your presence brings calmness at those around you.

2. The Classic Sophisticate

The second ring is associated with people who are sophisticated, graceful, and elegant. This choice speaks of your appreciation of timeless beauty. You are wise and always leave a lasting impression. Your refined taste extends far beyond fashion and is an important part of who you are.

3. The Romantic Dreamer

You wear your heart on your sleeve and aren’t afraid to show your emotions and share your feelings with your friends and your loved ones. You always look for deep and meaningful connections.

4. The Bold Leader

The fourth ring shows you are confident and fearless. For you, the sky is the limit and you never back down from your dreams no matter how unreachable they seem. You are destined for great things because you are willing to work hard to achieve anything you set your mind to.

5. The Social Butterfly

If ring number five is your first choice, it means you are optimistic, outgoing, and make friends easily. Your social life is very important to you and you radiate positivity wherever you go. Your vibrant personality inspires others to be their best selves.

6. The Mysterious Enigma

Ring number six shows that your truest trait is your intuition that almost never fails you.

Your perspective on life is rather unique because you spot things that most people miss. People are attracted to your intriguing presence and your wisdom.

7. The Luxurious Visionary

You are one of those people who aspire for greatness and success. You are attracted to luxury and sophistication, but you know how to stay grounded and practical. Balancing between refinement and logic is what makes you stand out.

8. The Unique Trailblazer

Your independence is your most valuable trait. Choosing ring number eight means you are unique and never tend to follow the crowd. On the contrary, you want to be original and unique and always seek for ways to express yourself and your creativity.

I noticed something strange about the bride – what I found under her dress shocked everyone

By

Monica Pop

-

My best friend Dave was tying the knot with a beautiful woman, and I was happy he found his soulmate. His bride, the most kind person I have ever met, loved him unconditionally. He was lucky to have her, and everyone agreed on that.

When the wedding day finally arrived and we were all gathered at the local church, something about the bride’s walk felt odd. Shanize was tall and gorgeous, her walking was gracious, and today, she didn’t resemble herself.

I turned to Dave’s sister and asked her if she could sense something was wrong, but she leaned and said, “Janice, please don’t make any scenes.”

How could she not notice Shanize’s weird walk? But Heather assured me that the bride was just nervous because it was her big day.

However, I wasn’t the only one who was aware of the awkwardness of Shanize’s steps. As she drew nearer, one of the guests whispered a joke about how the bride seemed to be “floating” down the aisle. Those around him chuckled, but I didn’t laugh. I just knew something wasn’t right.

And just as Heather, Dave’s sister, warned me not to act foolishly, I found myself walking behind the bride.

I bent over and lifted the hem of the bride’s gown just a few inches. What I saw shocked me.

Man’s shoes. I looked at huge, polished man’s shoes.

As I knelt down further I noticed the person who head was covered in a veil wore pants underneath the fancy gown. What was going on, I thought to myself while looking at Dave who at that point wouldn’t take the huge smile off of his face.

The man in Shanize’s dress took his wig and started laughing at Dave. It was his best man and everyone believed he was pulling a prank on him, but the truth was, he wasn’t.

“What the hell is this?” Dave asked in confusion. “Where’s Shanize?”

The best man said Shanize was gone. She didn’t want to proceed with the wedding, but she also didn’t want to cancel it. What she wanted was everyone to know Dave was having an affair with one of the bridesmaids, Vanessa. She wanted him to be exposed, and the best man helped her with the plan.

The church was silent. The guests could barely put their thoughts into words from the shock.

Dave yelled that what the best man said wasn’t true. He denied having anything with Vanessa, who was standing just a few rows away. But it was obvious he wasn’t telling the truth.

It turned out I didn’t know my best friends that well.

He threw away his chance at happiness for a cheap fling, and that was his punishment.

I felt sorry for Dave, but I was glad Shanize discovered he was unfaithful before starting a new life with him.

Alone and broken, Dave continued kneeling at the church as he witnessed all the guests leaving the place in disapppintment.

Never store your cooked rice without knowing this

By

Monica Pop

-

It’s not uncommon for us to end up with leftover food when we cook for our family. Most of the time, we simply store the leftovers in the fridge and save them for later. Sometimes, we even consume them the following day or in the days to come.

Most recently, however, there has been a buzz around leftover cooked rice and the potential risks of storing it the wrong way.

This phenomenon, which has been discussed a lot on the social media, is known as “fried rice syndrome” and “reheat syndrome.”

According to experts, cooked rice is an ideal environment for the spread of bacteria, particularly Bacillus cereus.

If we leave cooked rice on room temperature for too long, even longer than an hour, the bacterial spores start to grow, producing toxins.

Consuming this rice can cause food poisoning, nausea, abdominal pain, fever, and acute diarrhea. The symptoms may appear as early as an hour after consumption. In some cases, food poisoning can even lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalances.

The problem is that not many people will ever suspect that their leftover rice is the culprit behind how sick they feel.

The bacteria may spread even if the cooked rice is stored in the fridge, although at a slower rate.

How we store the cooked rice is essential for avoiding bacteria to grow.

So, what is the safest way to store it, you probably wonder.

First, don’t let it in the cooking pot but spread it on a clean tray or a shallow container so it can cool down faster. Next, put it in a shallow, airtight container to prevent moisture accumulation and place it in the fridge withing an hour of cooking. Consume it after 24 to 48 hours maximum.

If stored in the freezer, it can last up to six months.

Now, when it comes to reheating it, make sure it reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to kill any bacteria that may have grown during storage.

Remember, never reheat cooked rice more than once.

Hospice chef reveals the one comfort food most people ask for before they die

By

Monica Pop

-

At an Oxfordshire hospice, chef Spencer Richards makes sure those nearing the end of their life are served meals prepared with much love.

For this man, cooking for terminally ill patients isn’t just a job, but a calling.

Speaking to the Mirror, chef Richards revealed there is no greater privilege than making the last days of the patients a little bit better with his comforting food.

“My own philosophy is that there can be no greater privilege as a chef than serving someone their final meal. Recently a 21-year-old patient didn’t connect with anything on the standard menu. He was young and didn’t like the usual options, so we talked and he liked street food, so we made that happen,” he shared with the publication.

He recalled making a birthday cake for a 93-year-old patient who spent her entire life in a traditional home where birthday celebrations weren’t common.

“When we surprised her with one, she was in tears. She was absolutely over the moon.”

Actually, a birthday cake is the most common thing the patients at Sobell House Hospice ask for as their days on earth are slowly coming to an end.

“They’re small things, but especially for people who’ve been isolated or are feeling lonely, they mean a lot,” chef Richards said.

Further, he explained that adapting the dishes he prepares is of great importance since most of the patients who are at palliative care lose the ability to swallow. Their taste buds also change, and due to the medications and the treatments they receive.

One thing this hospice chef has noticed, however, is that patients with cancer “get a sweet tooth.”

Also, most of the patients are sensitive to salt.

“Food is a powerfully emotive medium – it can summon childhood memories and create new lasting ones. That’s what we do here.”

I always hated my father because he was a motorcycle mechanic, not a doctor or lawyer like my friends’ parents

By

Monica Pop

-

Frank, my father, whom I never called dad because of the barrier I wanted to place between us, was a motorcycle mechanic.

I hated the fact my father wasn’t a doctor or a lawyer like my friends’ parents.

While they were always dressed up, Frank wore a leather vest covered in oil stains. I felt embarrassment every time he came to pick me up from school with his Harley.

On the day of my graduation, he showed up in his only pair of decent jeans and a button-up shirt that uncovered his faded tattoos on his forearms.

That day, I refused to let him hug me. As he approached, I took a step back and offered him a handshake instead. At the time, it felt like something I needed to do not knowing that the moment will haunt me forever.

Some weeks later, I got a call that changed everything. Frank was driving through a mountain pass when a logging truck had crossed the center line. His bike went under the wheels and he died on the scene.

For his funeral, I travelled to our small town. Honesty, I though it would only be me and maybe a couple of his drinking buddies. But the sight in front of the church stunned me.

A group of hundreds of bikers from across six states were there to say their last goodbye.

They all wore a small orange ribbon on their leather vests.

A woman whom I had never seen before approached me and said, “Your father’s favorite color.”

Once inside the church, people started sharing stories about my father whom they all called “Brother Frank.”

They spoke how he organized charities for sick children and how he always drove through snowstorms to deliver medicine to elderly shut-ins.

This wasn’t the father I thought I knew.

A crying man opened up about the time Frank found him in a ditch and forced him to get help. That day, he was over six years sober, all thanks to the man who I was embarrassed of.

Once the service was over, a lawyer approached me.

“Your dad wanted you to have this,” he said as he handed me a worn leather satchel.

That satchel contained papers tied with his old bandana, a box, and a letter addressed to me.

In the letter, Frank wrote that he knew I was embarrassed of his job, but reminded me that what matters most is how many people someone helps not the number of letters written on their business card.

He left me his Harley and told me to give it to someone who may need it if I didn’t want it.

My dad reminded me not to be ashamed of who I am and where I come from. He ended the letter writing how much he loved me.

Tears rolled down my eyes for the first time since his funeral.

Withing the pile of papers, there were receipts of donations. One of them said that Frank had donated $180,000 over the course of fifteen years.

The following morning, I visited his shop. Samantha, the woman he worked with was waiting for me. “He told me you’d come,” she said and handed me a cup of freshly made coffee.

“Listen” she said as he handed me a folder. “Your dad started this scholarship last year. He named it Orange Ribbon Grant after his bandana. He wanted you to choose the first student.”

My father, whom I once hated, was a great man. He had a heart of gold that I never knew of. That day, I learned that Frank was larger than life.

With Samantha’s help, I learned how to ride that old Harley I once hated.

With the money my dad left to me, I decided to spend them on teaching kids how to repair bikes so that they could work at the shop. I didn’t want that place to close down.

Later, I learned that my dad was once offered a high paying job as a mechanic, but he refused the offer. The reason why was that my mother, who died when I was just eight, had leukemia, and he couldn’t work full time because he knew she needed him.

My father whom I once hated never lacked ambition. But he believed his family was way more important than building a career. And for that, I am always grateful to him.

The most dangerous time to sleep: Doctor warns of health issues it may cause

By

Monica Pop

-

Good night sleep is essential for our wellbeing. When we get enough hours of sleep — an adult needs seven to nine hours a day — we are likely to feel more energized during the day and get our tasks done with little effort.

However, what is also essential is the time when we go to bed.

If we fall asleep at random hours and disturb our natural rhythm, it may come with certain consequences.

The truth is that going to bed later and later may seem harmless at first, but not according to Dr. Saurabh Sethi, a California-based gastroenterologist.

He explained that more and more of his patients are showing symptoms that may be related to poor sleeping pattern.

Failing to follow a certain order of going to bed leads to the body to struggle. Delaying sleeping for later every night interrupts the hormonal balance and disturbs the process that helps our brain and our gut work properly.

During sleep, the growth hormone is released, the tissues repair, and the immune cells multiply.

According to Dr. Sethi, staying awake after midnight leads to weight gain. This is backed up by a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) that found a 20 per cent greater risk of obesity or large waistline in individuals who went to sleep at midnight as compared to those who went to bed between 8 and 10 p.m.

Dr. Sethi believes that a disturbed sleeping pattern causes tiredness and increases stress levels. Individuals who go to sleep after 1 a.m. are more prone to experience depression and mental disorders. They are also likely to struggle to concentrate during the day.

Going to bed between 10 and 11 p.m. lowers the risks of heart disease. The risks are higher at those who go to bed past midnight.

“To improve your overall health, including hormone balance, gut health, liver health and mood, aim to sleep before midnight.

“And stick to a consistent bedtime.

“Aim for seven to nine hours of sleep every night,” Dr. Sethi advises.

Dr. Sethi often shares valuable advice on his TikTok (@doctorsethimd) where he has 504,000 followers.

Bruce Springsteen slams Trump era during emotional concert speech that’s going viral

By

Monica Pop

-

Bruce Springsteen has been known as one of the originators of the heartland rock style of music, combining mainstream rock musical style with narrative songs about working class American life. His remarkable career has spanned six decades and counting.

One of his most influential songs, Born in the USA, is a form of protest hidden in the style of a national or patriotic anthem. In fact, it aimed to criticize how the American system mistreats certain groups, particularly military veterans and working-class people. The song was born in 1984, during Ronald Raegan’s administration.

During his latest show in Manchester, May 14, Bruce Springsteen expressed strong feelings against Donald Trump and his administration.

“It’s great to be in Manchester and back in the UK. Welcome to the Land of Hope and Dreams Tour! The mighty E St. Band is here tonight to call upon the righteous power of art, of music, of rock ‘n roll in dangerous times,” he addressed the crowd.

“In my home, the America I love, the America I’ve written about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration. Tonight, we ask all who believe in democracy and the best of our American experiment to rise with us, raise your voices against authoritarianism and let freedom ring!”

Before performing House of a Thousand Guitars, the singer who has criticized Trump in the past, went on another fiery rant. “The last check, the last check on power after the checks and balances of government have failed are the people, you and me. It’s in the union of people around a common set of values now that’s all that stands between a democracy and authoritarianism. At the end of the day, all we’ve got is each other,” he said.

A post shared by Bruce Springsteen (@springsteen)

Springsteen’s final political statement of the evening came as he introduced City of Ruin.

“There’s some very weird, strange, and dangerous shit going on out there right now. In America they are persecuting people for using their right to free speech and voicing their dissent. This is happening now.

“In America the richest men are taking satisfaction in abandoning the world’s poorest children to sickness and death. This is happening now. In my country they’re taking sadistic pleasure in the pain they inflict on loyal American workers. They’re rolling back historic civil rights legislation that has led to a more just and plural society. They are abandoning our great allies and siding with dictators against those struggling for their freedom. They are defunding American universities that won’t bow down to their ideological demands.

He added: “They are removing residents off American streets and without due process of law, are deporting them to foreign detention centers and prisons. This is all happening now.”

Before singing of his city of ruin, Bruce Springsteen preaches of what is happening back home. He pulls no punches in a harsh sermon. This is part one of two on May 14, 2025 in Manchester. Papa preach. pic.twitter.com/TIZwERP37S

</blockquote>

“A majority of our elected representatives have failed to protect the American people from the abuses of an unfit president and a rogue government. They have no concern or idea for what it means to be deeply American. The America l’ve sung to you about for 50 years is real and regardless of its faults is a great country with a great people. So we’ll survive this moment. Now, I have hope, because I believe in the truth of what the great American writer James Baldwin said, he said ‘in this world there isn’t as much humanity as one would like, but there’s enough.’ Let’s pray.”

During his latest show in Manchester, May 14, Bruce Springsteen expressed strong feelings against Donald Trump and his administration.

This criticism echoes Robert De Niro‘s comment at the Cannes Film Festival, where he also condemned Trump’s policies and urged action to defend democracy.

Bruce Springsteen publicly endorsed Kamala Harris.

The singer is currently on tour with Land of Hope and Dreams. His next stop is France.

Trump’s tariffs just kicked in, and people are sharing their receipts

By

Monica Pop

-

Trump’s administration has imposed tariffs on nearly every country around the globe, and that includes even the most remote places such as the Heard Island and McDonald Islands, inhabited with only penguins and seals.

This is the first time the US has applied a standard 10% tariff across the board.

Michael Coon, an associate professor of economics at the University of Tampa, dubs this decision “unusual.”

Kent Nishimura/Bloomberg via Getty Images

“The only place you really see something like that is in lower-income countries that don’t have the infrastructure to collect income taxes,” Coon told HuffPost. “It’s easier for them to collect tariffs at the port because you have to set up a customs office on the dock.”

A number of products will be hit by tariffs, and Americans are already experiencing the consequences — in a big way— and it can be seen from the receipts they share.

The Washington-based tech firm Wyze Cam posted that they paid “$255,000 in tariffs and $579.23 in ‘other fees’ to import $167,000 of Wyze Cams.”

Adafruit Industries said that just like Walmart, they would be forced to increase their prices.

“We’re no stranger to tariff bills, although they have definitely ramped up over the last two months. However, this is our first ‘big bill’, where a large portion was subjected to a 125%+20%+25% import markup,” Adafruit Industries penned.

“Unlike other taxes like sales tax where we collect on behalf of the state and then submit it back at the end of the month, or income taxes, where we only pay if we are profitable, tariff taxes are paid before we sell any of the products and are due within a week of receipt which has a big impact on cash flow.”

Their statement added: “In this particular case, we’re buying from a vendor, not a factory, so we can’t second-source the items (and these particular products we couldn’t manufacture ourselves even if we wanted to, since the vendor has well-deserved IP protections). And the products were booked & manufactured many months ago, before the tariffs were in place.

“Since they are electronics products/components, there’s a chance we may be able to request reclassification on some items to avoid the 125% ‘reciprocal’ tariff, but there’s no assurance that it will succeed, and even if it does, it is many, many months until we could see a refund.”

People started sharing their receipts and wonder what the future holds with prices that huge.

One person complained on the prices for a suit from his favorite Canadian retail store.

Some businesses even made the decision to pause shipping to the US.

Tariffs are also impacting healthcare.

A Reddit user posted: “A couple of weeks ago, I bought a pre-owned Louis Vuitton wallet from a Japanese seller. The item shipped from Japan. I paid $80 for the wallet, plus US sales tax ($116.91 in total). I just got a notice from DHL that my tariff fees are $83.10!!!”

Governor Noem blasts Democrats over New Jersey ICE facility breach

By

Monica Pop

-

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem criticized three Democrats who had been confronted by immigration officers while they protested the opening of a new detention facility for immigrants in New Jersey.

Аt the hearing of the House Homeland Security Committee, Democrats claimed Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials physically assaulted the lawmakers.

According to Noem, the Democrats, Garden State Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman, Rob Menendez and LaMonica McIver, were not conducting proper oversight.

Steven Spearie/ The State Journal-Register via aberdeennews

Noem further claimed the private facility that contracts with Immigration and Customs Enforcement houses “rapists,” “murderers,” and members of “foreign terrorist organizations.”

“What happened last Friday was we had members of Congress assaulting law enforcement officers,” Noem said of the chaotic scene in front of the Delaney Hall Detention Center.

“They were cooperating with criminals to create criminal acts,” she said during an interview with Fox News host Jesse Watters, the New York Post reported. “This wasn’t oversight. This was committing felonies. This was going out and attacking people who stand up for the rule of law. And it was absolutely horrible.”

Noem called for the House Democrats to be removed from their committees or censured.

This statement, however, triggered criticism as members of Congress are allowed to make unannounced visits to facilities.

Ridiculous. Members of Congress have the ability under the law to enter and inspect ICE facilities as part of their oversight responsibilities. @RepBonnie, @RepLaMonica, and @RepMenendez are simply doing their jobs. https://t.co/J5kmpP3QWg

— Governor Phil Murphy (@GovMurphy) May 11, 2025

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez warned the administration of problems if any arrests take place.

The Democrats were accompanied by Newark Mayor Ras Baraka (D). He was arrested on charges of trespassing.

According to DHS, the three lawmakers were outside the facility along with a group of protesters and pushed past security and entered the place when the gates opened for a ICE bus to be let in.

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested after the incident last week. SamMBlackwood/X

“What are they trying to do?” Noem questioned. “Release these people back into the country so that there could be more Laken Rileys? So there can be more Jocelyn Nungarays? I just don’t understand what their point is. They have completely lost their minds.”

Democrats blasted Noem and the Trump administration for harsh immigration enforcement, citing the wrongful deportation of Marylander Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a Salvadoran prison.

Trump fires back at Walmart for blaming him over rising prices due to tariffs

By

Monica Pop

-

In light of Trump’s tariffs, Walmart CEO Douglas McMillon shared the company’s decision to raise prices.

“We will do our best to keep our prices as low as possible. But given the magnitude of the tariffs, even at the reduced levels announced this week, we aren’t able to absorb all the pressure given the reality of narrow retail margins,” he said in a statement.

President Donald Trump was quick to answer back.

In a post on the social media platform Truth Social, he wrote, “Walmart should STOP trying to blame Tariffs as the reason for raising prices throughout the chain. Walmart made BILLIONS OF DOLLARS last year, far more than expected. Between Walmart and China they should, as is said, ‘EAT THE TARIFFS,’ and not charge valued customers ANYTHING.

“I’ll be watching, and so will your customers!!!”

Trump announced a temporary truce with China and even lowered duties on the majority of Chinese imports from a startling 145 percent to 30 percent for a 90-day period.

He warned that without a new deal with China, the US might impose even greater tariffs

John David Rainey, chief financial officer at Walmart, said that the tariffs imposed by Trump are “still too high.”

“We’re wired for everyday low prices, but the magnitude of these increases is more than any retailer can absorb,” Rainey told CNBC.

Last month, the chief executives of Walmart and Target spoke with the president about the devastating potential impacts of tariffs, saying his broad tariff policy might disrupt supply chains and cause product shortages. The conversation was held behind closed doors.

Following the meeting, the companies issued statements.

“We had a productive meeting with President Trump and his team and appreciated the opportunity to share our insights,” Walmart said.

Before Trump’s tariffs go into effect, billionaire Mark Cuban urged people to visit “the local Walmart or big box retailer.”

“It’s not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory,” he wrote on the social media site Bluesky.

He said that companies will likely increase the prices and blame it on tariffs even if the goods they sell are domestic.

Trump Jr. blasted for ‘vile’ comment over Biden’s aggressive cancer diagnosis

By

Monica Pop

-

Former President Joe Biden has been diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer that has since spread to his bones, according to a statement from his office on Sunday.

Considering how advanced the cancer is, the family is reviewing treatment options.

“Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms.

“On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterised by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone,” the statement read.

“While this represents a more aggressive form of the disease, the cancer appears to be hormone-sensitive which allows for effective management.”

Once the news spread, messages of support came pouring in.

President Donald Trump was among those who expressed their sadness about Biden’s recent medical diagnosis.

Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., however, wasn’t as sympathetic — on the contrary, he made a comment about Biden’s cancer diagnosis that enraged many.

“What I want to know is how did Dr. Jill Biden miss stage five metastatic cancer or is this yet another coverup???” Donald Trump Jr. wrote.

Further, Trump Jr., who serves as a trustee and executive VP of the Trump Organization, agreed with a comment “without question” that stated Biden was “running the country as a vegetable under the rug.”

As expected, social media quickly responded with criticism of his remarks.

“Mocking a man’s cancer and blaming his wife, who’s not even a medical doctor, shows just how low and shallow he is. ‘Stage five’? It’s Grade Group 5, boneh**d,” someone wrote.

“This isn’t politics. It’s cruelty. Ugly, dumb, and vile. Nothing else to call it,” another person added.

A third person accused Don Jr.” accused Don Jr of ‘”shameless opportunism dressed up as patriotism.”

Hours before his comment, Don Jr. shared an image that read, “BREAKING: Joe Biden has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Politics aside, we wish him a speedy recovery!” He captioned his post, “Agreed 100%.”

Musk responds to Bill Gates’s claim that he was ‘killing children’

By

Monica Pop

-

Two of the world’s biggest tech-billionaires, Elon Musk and Bill Gates, got into a public feud after Gates accused Musk of having “blood on his hands” for drastically downsizing the US Agency for International Development (USAID).

Musk, the head of DOGE under Trump’s administration, labeled USAID a “criminal organization” and froze payments, placed staff on administrative leave, and effectively dismantled the agency’s operations.

What’s more, Musk defended his decision. He said of USAID, which was the world’s largest single donor of humanitarian aid, “It became apparent that it’s not an apple with a worm in it. What we have is just a ball of worms. You’ve got to basically get rid of the whole thing.”

According to Gates, the abrupt funding cuts caused vital food and medicine to go to waste in storage, raising the risk of diseases like measles, HIV, and polio to return.

Speaking to Financial Times, the Microsoft founder said, “The picture of the world’s richest man killing the world’s poorest children is not a pretty one,” referring to Musk.

He added that Musk suspended support for a hospital in Gaza Province, Mozambique, which aims to prevent mother-to-child HIV transmission, because he believed US was providing condoms to Hamas in the Middle Eastern Gaza Strip.

“I’d love for him to go in and meet the children that have now been infected with HIV because he cut that money,” he said.

While announcing that he is donating his remaining fortune—over $100 billion—to the Gates Foundation, along with news that the foundation will spend down all of its funds and close within the next 20 years, Bill Gates accused Elon Musk of “killing the world’s poorest children”… pic.twitter.com/VZ4TNz2ktR

— Yashar Ali 🐘 (@yashar) May 8, 2025

Speaking to CBS Mornings, Gates stated that according to him, the cuts made by DOGE would be at the expense of two million lives.

Recently, Gates opened up about his plan to donate all of his fortune by 2045 in order to help the poor.

“It makes the case that the wealthy have a responsibility to return their resources to society,” Gates who is known for his philanthropy wrote in a blog post. “Carnegie argues that ‘the man who dies thus rich dies disgraced.’” He added, “People will say a lot of things about me when I die, but I am determined that ‘he died rich’ will not be one of them.”

This idea was inspired by Andrew Carnegie’s 1889 essay, “The Gospel of Wealth.”

Gates is a huge liar

— Kekius Maximus (@elonmusk) May 8, 2025

Gates is, however, concerned that his efforts could be undermined by the decision made by Musk to implement sweeping government cuts to USAID.

The Tesla owner didn’t seem to be pleased with Bill Gates’ stance on DOGE’s cuts and their view of USAID, so he took to X to post, “Gates is a huge liar.”

So far, The Gates Foundation has spent $100 billion to fight global child mortality by funding new medical technologies and treatments.

JD Vance branded ‘tasteless’ after comment about his wife

Vice President JD Vance has come a long way since his early days. Being raised by a mother who was a heavy alcohol abuser, he almost took the wrong path in life—had it not been for his grandparents, who took him and his half-sister, Lindsay, in.

When his grandmother learned he was hanging out with the wrong people and that he experimented with drugs, she decided to talk some sense into him. It was a moment Vance would never forget.

After graduating from Middletown High School in 2003, he signed up for the military.

In 2009, he graduated from Ohio State University an received a bachelor’s degree in political science and philosophy. Eventually, his talent and hard-work opened the doors to Yale Law School, where he graduated with a law degree in 2013.

While at Yale, Vance met Usha, who later became his wife. Today, the couple have three children together.

Usha comes from a well-educated family of Indian immigrants. Her father worked as an aerospace engineer and university lecturer, while her mother was a professor of molecular biology.

Speaking of Usha, Vance said in 2020, “She instinctively understood the questions I didn’t even know to ask and she always encouraged me to seek opportunities that I didn’t know existed.

“I’m one of those guys who really benefits from having sort of a powerful female voice over his left shoulder saying, ‘Don’t do that, do that.’”

When Vance was nominated for vice-president, she put her career on hold in order to support her husband. When Trump won the elections, she appeared on stage next to him.

Being a second lady, Usha accompanies her husband to a number of events.

However, days ago, during an event in Michigan, Vance cracked a joke about his wife that many dubbed “tasteless” and “uncomfortable.”

In a video clip of the event, which has been seen over 10 million times, the vice president said of his wife, “I think she’s doing a great job as second lady of the United States, and I’m so proud to have her by my side.

“And here’s the thing, ’cause the cameras are all on, anything that I say, no matter how crazy, Usha has to smile and laugh and celebrate,” he said gesturing backward toward her.

The crowd started laughing at his joke, but the online reception wasn’t as warm.

Some social media users even urged Usha to “run” from her husband and his demand for admiration.

“So Vance is a trad husband influencer now?” one person wondered.

“JD Vance saying his wife has to ‘smile, laugh, and celebrate’ whatever he says—no matter how crazy—is straight-up creepy. Political spouses who just sit there grinning like puppets aren’t admirable. They’re useless. And it’s 2025. Women aren’t props,” someone commented.

“This reeks of the whole misogynist ‘I got a silent, agreeable woman’ trope so bad. No president or VP we’ve had in the past would ever have said this sentence on a public stage,” another person added.

“Definitely a real man who has no insecurities whatsoever about women,” someone else agreed.

“That sounds like a threat. She should consult a lawyer and ensure the long-term safety and security of herself and the children. I know how this goes over time in a marriage. The threats get real,” a netizen wrote.

Barack Obama addresses divorce rumors

By

Monica Pop

-

Former President Barack Obama opened up about his marriage amid divorce rumors. Speaking to students at Hamilton College on Thursday, he said wittily that he’s working to recover from a “deep deficit” in his marriage to Michelle.

“I was in a deep deficit with my wife,” he said. “So I have been trying to dig myself out of that hole by doing occasionally fun things.”

The Obamas have been in the news lately with rumors about their union.

The buzz around their separation spread so far that some media outlets claimed Barack Obama was dating Friends‘ star Jennifer Aniston. The actress, however, denied the rumors during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, saying she has only met the former president once.

Previously, Barack Obama hinted about how his presidency affected his relationship to his wife.

“Let me just say this: It sure helps to be out of the White House and to have a little more time with her,” he said in an interview on CBS Mornings in 2023.

Michelle has also opened up about the rumors. Speaking on her podcast, IMO, which she co-hosts with her brother Craig Robinson, the former first lady said, “Barack, you know, he had to adjust to what ‘on time’ was for me.”

She explained that her husband would start getting ready at the time they were supposed to be leaving.

“You know, I’ve got this husband who’s like, when it’s time to leave, it’s 3, he’s getting up and going to the bathroom,” she added.

“And I was like, dude, dude, a 3 o’clock departure means you’ve done all that, you know? It’s like, don’t start looking for your glasses, you know, at the 3 o’clock departure.”

Michelle also opened up about her life after her daughters have moved out.

“[Life] is whatever I want, Sophia, It’s whatever I want,” she said, adding that life of an “empty nester” is liberating.

“It’s the first time in my life all of my choices are for me,” she said on Sophia Bush’s podcast, Work in Progress.

It was her decisions not to attend Trump’s inauguration and Jimmy Carter’s funeral that triggered the speculations in the first place.

“That’s the thing that we as women, I think… we struggle with disappointing people. I mean, so much so, that this year people were… they couldn’t even fathom that I was making a choice for myself that they had to assume that my husband and I are divorcing,” she explained.

Recognizing high blood sugar: 7 early signs

By

Monica Pop

-

he World Health Organization defines hyperglycemia as high blood sugar. According to the organization, this condition occurs when blood glucose levels are greater than 7.0 mmol/L (126 mg/dL) when fasting, and greater than 11.0 mmol/L (200 mg/dL) two hours after meals.

Hyperglycemia usually happens at individuals who are diagnosed with diabetes.

It is typically caused either by the destruction of insulin-producing cells in the pancreas or by the body’s resistance to insulin.

Recognizing the early signs on high blood sugar may be essential for preventing complications and reducing the risks of other health issues.

Constant Thirst

People with high blood sugar feel the urge to drink plenty of water because the kidneys are unable to absorb excess glucose. The body then releases this excess through urination, which also pulls other fluids, leading to thirst.

Increased Eating Habits

High blood sugar interferes with the body’s ability to convert food into energy. As sugar can’t get into the cells properly and stays in the blood instead, the brain misinterprets this as a energy shortage, leading to extensive hunger.

Small Bumps

People with high blood sugar are likely to experience elevated levels of triglyceride, a type of fat that circulates in the bloodstream, which can lead to small bumps on the skin. This condition is known as eruptive xanthomatosis.

Chronic Fatigue

When the body lacks insulin, cells cannot properly digest glucose from the food you eat, and sugar spills out into the bloodstream.

This leads to the cells being starved of energy, which makes you tired and causes fatigue.

Headaches and Blurry Vision

High blood sugar may lead to fluid buildup behind the eyes, causing swelling that distorts vision and makes focusing difficult. The pressure may also induce headaches, affecting productivity and the quality of life.

Tingling and Numbness in Hands and Feet

When blood sugar stays high for too long, it can hurt the nerves in your body. This causes symptoms such as tingling, numbness, or pain—especially in the hands and feet.

Skin Tags

Skin tags are harmless growths that appear on every part of the body, but mostly on the underarms, groin, neck, and eyelashes. One of the reasons of their appearance is high blood sugar.

Pope Leo’s menacing message to the US

By

Monica Pop

-

Pope Leo was peppered with questions as he moved through the crowd at the Vatican on Monday, during his first international press conference.

He spoke of the importance of free speech and a free press and thanked reporters for covering the papal election. The pontiff also emphasized the significance of “being an informed society in order to make good choices and decisions regarding international policy,” according to NewsNation.

At one point, NewsNation correspondent Robert Sherman asked the Pope Leo if he had “any message” to give the US to which the pontiff replied, “Many.”

He then added: “God bless you all.”

The short answer, which many saw as a menacing message from the Pope to the US, caused quite a stir and vent viral in the blink of an eye.

Plenty of people interpreted it as a dig at the US president whom Pope Leo criticized on the social media as Cardinal Robert Prevost.

In 2015, when Trump announced he was running for president and promised to “build a wall,” the pontiff retweeted an op-ed titled “Why Donald Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric is so problematic.”

Pope Leo also criticized Vance for an interview he gave about Christianity on Fox News.

“JD Vance is wrong,” he said. “Jesus doesn’t ask us to rank our love for others.”

Discussing concerns over the Trump administration’s handling of immigration, Vance referenced a Christian tenet “that you love your family and then you love your neighbor, and then you love your community, and then you love your fellow citizens, and then after that, prioritize the rest of the world.”

After receiving criticism on his views, Vance took to the social media to defend himself, writing, “Just google ‘ordo amoris.’ Aside from that, the idea that there isn’t a hierarchy of obligations violates basic common sense.”

Ten days later, Pope Leo, as Cardinal Robert Prevost, shared another piece from a Jesuit publication, titled, “Pope Francis’ letter, JD Vance’s ‘ordo amoris’ and what the Gospel asks of all of us on immigration.”

According to the Daily Mail, referring to Pope Leo’s message to the US, some questioned whether he may have misheard the reporter over “any blessings for the United States,” saying it “makes more sense” given that he told the nation “God bless you all.”

Researchers find connection between early colon cancer and a ‘silent’ condition affecting over 80 million Americans

By

Monica Pop

-

The American Cancer Society states that colorectal cancer starts in the colon. “Most colorectal cancers start as a growth on the inner lining of the colon or rectum. These growths are called polyps.”

While polyps are quite common and often noncancerous, some can turn into cancer over time.

Historically, this form of cancer was typical for the older population, but as more and more young people are diagnosed with it, researchers are rethinking screening recommendations and are looking for different treatment approaches.

Statistics say that colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in US, with 153,020 being diagnosed with the disease in 2023 and over 52,000 dying of it.

Rebecca Siegel from the American Cancer Society believes that the increase of early-onset colorectal cancer at young people can be related to the lifestyle changes introduced in the mid-20th century.

Also, a study highlights one particular condition that shows no to little symptoms; non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

This term refers to a range of conditions caused by a build-up of fat in the liver.

NAFLD doesn’t pose danger as such, but if the condition advances, it can lead to more serious issues such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and kidney disease.

According to a study conducted by a team of researchers from South Korea, people aged under 50 with history of NAFLD are 24% more likely to be diagnosed with colon cancer compared to those who don’t suffer from the condition.

Although more research needs to be done, researchers do make a connection between colon cancer and the “silent” condition of NAFLD.

“Our findings revealed a strong link between NAFLD and early-onset CRC in young adults, suggesting the importance of implementing effective preventive strategies, particularly in populations with a growing burden of metabolic dysfunction,” experts said on the study published in ScienceDirect.

“These findings highlight the need for multifaceted preventive strategies, including lifestyle interventions and expanded screening for younger populations with NAFLD.”

According to the study, the inflammation caused by NAFLD may travel to the colon, triggering cancerous cells to develop.

Glen Rogers, an infamous serial killer who sat on death row for almost three decades before being executed on May 15, 2025, used final words to give a shoutout to Trump and hint to a dark secret.

According to authorities, Rogers received a lethal injection at Florida State Prison near Starke and was pronounced dead at 6:16 p.m.

Rogers, who was dubbed the “Casanova Killer” due to his distinctive blonde locks and habit of luring women from bars before assaulting them, was convicted of killing two women in separate incidents just weeks apart.

In 1995, he killed 34-year-old Tina Marie Cribbs, a mother of two. Weeks later he murdered Sandra Gallagher, 33, a mother of three. He was convicted both in Florida and in California.

Rogers was apprehend following a highway chase in Kentucky while he was driving Cribbs’ stolen vehicle.

He was sentenced to death in 1997 for the killing of Cribbs and that same year he received another death sentence for the strangulation of Gallagher.

Rogers allegedly confessed to the police that he murdered around 70 people over the years but later recanted that statement.

According to the Daily Star, Rogers’ final meal included pizza, chocolate cake, and soda.

However, it was his last words that surprised many. He praised his wife, who had visited him earlier that day, and then added: “President Trump, keep making America great. I’m ready to go.”

Before nodding to the President, this serial killer hinted at a dark secret.

He said, “In the near future, your questions will be answered.”

Bill Gates names three professions safe from AI takeover

By

Monica Pop

-

Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, predicts that AI would replace humans for most things. And yes, he might be completely right considering that artificial intelligence is taking over faster than anyone has ever predicted or imagined.

Naturally, this makes many nervous and worried for their jobs, fearing they could be replaced by AI.

A recent study shows that 54% of banking jobs can be automated using AI. Singapore’s major bank DBS was among the first banks to announce the possible cut of nearly 4,000 job roles in the next three years due to AI takeover of those positions.

According to Bill Gates, despite the wide adoption of AI by a number of organizations and business, three professions would stand the test of time.

Those professions are coders, energy experts, and biologists.

This prediction is quite opposite than that of other experts, including NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang who has recently warned young people to make careful considerations before pursuing a career in the software field.

Salesforce‘s CEO Marc Benioff said his company is “seriously debating” hiring software engineers in 2025.

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI advised young people to “master AI tools” the same way his generation mastered coding since AI would eventually replace software engineers.

Gates on the other hand is convinced that human coders would still be needed in order to identify and correct errors, refine algorithms and support AI’s development.

Further, while the tech-billionaire acknowledges that AI can be very helpful in biology, especially in diagnosing diseases and analyzing DNA, AI isn’t creative, a trait essential for scientific research and discovering new things in the field.

What’s more, Gates states that energy professionals would not likely be replaced by AI because the field is too complex to be fully automated.

Bank of America analyst sentenced to prison over a single tweet from years ago

By

Monica Pop

-

41-year-old British Bank of America analyst, Ahmed al-Doush, was arrested at King Khalid airport in Riyadh on August 31, 2024, while on holiday with his three children and his pregnant wife.

According to The Times, he has spent nine months in a maximum security prison under Saudi Arabia’s strict anti-terrorism laws.

Allegedly, he spent 33 days of this in solitary confinement.

Haydee Dijkstal, al-Doush’s international counsel, posted about the case on X, writing, “The exact tweet is unknown. His trial and detention involved fair trial and due process violations.

“The information known indicates that the charges against him, the proceedings and his treatment are contrary to international law and human rights standards.”

The charges that led to prison time may be over a 2018 tweet he made about the political situation in Sudan, with no mention of Saudi Arabia. — taj-rights.org

She added that the U.K. government “should stand firmly against a British national’s imprisonment for allegedly exercising his free speech rights.”

Ahmed al-Doush was allegedly placed in prison over a now-deleted tweet on his X account — where he only had 37 followers — that Saudi Arabia’s government deemed a national security threat.

They also claimed he had contact with a Saudi critic in exile.

The Mirror reports that al-Doush’s family believes the charges that led to prison time may be over a 2018 tweet he made about the political situation in Sudan, with no mention of Saudi Arabia, which he later deleted.

Dijkstal has reached out to the Foreign Office in an attempt to learn more about her client’s conviction.

“We are supporting a British man who is detained in Saudi Arabia and are in contact with his family and local authorities,” a spokesperson for the Foreign Office in London said in a statement.

Amaher Nour, al-Doush’s wife, said her husband, who missed the birth of his fourth child, is struggling with pre-existing health conditions. He’s also experiencing mental distress.

“I rarely speak to my husband but in the few snatched conversations we have managed, it’s clear Ahmed is struggling. He has thyroid problems, back pain and is tormented by mental distress.” she said.

“He worries about his family, particularly as he was the sole breadwinner.”

Nour added: “He missed the birth of our fourth child and our ten-year wedding anniversary. How many more family milestones will he have to miss before the [Foreign Office] sit up and take action?”

Jeed Basyouni, head of the Middle East and North Africa death penalty project Reprieve, told The Times, “When a British national is convicted and sentenced to 10 years in prison, and neither his family nor his lawyer nor the Foreign Office know what crime he has been accused of, something has gone very badly wrong.

“It would be farcical if it wasn’t a tragedy for this family, who have been badly let down by the UK government.”

White House press secretary backs plans to cut federal spending

By

Kelly White

-

Democrats raised their concerns over Trump’s order to freeze federal grants, loans, and related assistance, money already appropriated by Congress.

They claimed the programs such as Medicaid may go into the dark.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Levitt said during a briefing that “this is a temporary pause and a freeze to ensure that all of the money going out from Washington D.C. is aligned with the president’s agenda.”

She added that the decision would not affect programs like Social Security, Medicare, and welfare benefits.

The leaked memo by President Donald Trump regarding the cuts of federal spending added that the decision would also not affect “assistance provided directly to individuals.”

However, US District Judge Loren AliKhan temporarily blocked Trump’s freeze on federal spending concerning federal aid minutes before it went into effect.

In a longer statement, Levitt explained that the cuts refer to certain programs such as DEI initiatives in the federal government and the World Health Organization, from which Trump withdrew.

“In light of the injunction, OMB has rescinded the memo to end any confusion on federal policy created by the court ruling and the dishonest media coverage. The Executive Orders issued by the President on funding reviews remain in full force and effect and will be rigorously implemented by all agencies and departments,” Leavitt said in a statement.

The statement further stated: “This action should effectively end the court case and allow the government to focus on enforcing the President’s orders on controlling federal spending. In the coming weeks and months, more executive action will continue to end the egregious waste of federal funding,” Leavitt said.

According to CBS News, despite Trump’s plans and promises to cut federal spending, his “federal government has spent more than $200 billion more in his first 100 days compared to the same time period last year.”

Police made an arrest in the case of the deaths of brothers Max Johnson, 7, and Sam, 6. Their bodies were discovered inside their Coonabarabran home in northwest NSW, Australia.

Two officers responded to a message sent to the communities and justice department. They forced their way into the Emu Lane home where they found the boys’ dead bodies in separate rooms.

They established a crime scene and officers from the Orana mid-western police district and detectives from the state’s homicide squad have launched an investigation.

The boys’ grandmother, Kathleen Heggs, 66, has since been arrested and charged with double murder.

According to Sky News Australia, at the time the officers arrived at the home, she attempted to harm herself.

She was refused bail and will appear at Parramatta Bail Court on Saturday.

“What has occurred is terrible and as a state we share in the community of Coonabarabran’s grief at the loss of two young boys who had their entire futures ahead of them,” NSW Premier Chris Minns said of the tragedy.

“I can not begin to imagine the heartbreak their loved ones are currently feeling, including their family, friends, and teachers.

“I thank the local officers who attended the scene for their professionalism and bravery in the face of such a horrible event.”

The boys went to live with their grandmother around 11 months prior to the tragedy.

“These things shock small country towns,” Assistant Commissioner Holland said.

“The death of one child is bad enough – the death of two is just incomprehensible.”

The community will pay tribute to the young brothers by holding a candlelit vigil in their memory at Neilson Park in Coonabarabran.

The NSW police said there is no ongoing threat to the community and believe no other suspect has been involved in the deaths of the two brothers.

Joining his family on the balcony of Buckingham Palace to watch the Red Arrows’ iconic flypast, Prince Louis entertained the public yet again mimicking the planes going overhead.

It appeared that the 7-year-old royal was in awe by the display and recreated the ‘chatter chatter chatter’ sound made by the planes during the VE Day festivities, according to lip-reader Nicola Hickling.

According to her, William said: “Look at this I think it’s going to be quite wet today.”

Louis was quick to answer: “Wasn’t this supposed to be fun?”

Responding to the cheeky comment, William reportedly insisted: “It is son,” and, “You will never forget this.”

“They will come along here, and then go towards there, and then we will make our way back,” he said.

“It’s not going to be long and I want you to be taking an interest.”

Hickling further revealed that Prince Louis shared with his family which of the planes was his favorite.

At one point, Prince William asked, “Do you know what it is,” and Gorge, the eldest of the children of William and Kate, seemed to reply, “No but I do know it’s got two way four engines.”

Prince William then pointed to another plane and said, “That must be Britannia,” to what Louis replied, “That’s my favourite.”

Hickling shared with Express, that Princess Kate also had a sweet message for her daughter, Princess Charlotte.

“Doesn’t papa look smart today,” she said, according to Hickling.

Following the display, Prince George joined his parents at a veterans’ tea party, where he listened to his dad speak with WWII veterans.

Prince William told them that his son was “very keen” to ask them some questions.
