Girl, 15, says “she’s forced to leave like a peasant” after mom cuts her allowance from $5,000 to $1,000

“Dr. Phil,” the talk show we all love so much, and the host, Dr. Phil himself, cover a variety of topics from the everyday of many families. They discuss and resolve issues around parents-children relationships, dysfunctional families, financial planning, weight loss, and way beyond this. 

I’m sure you remember Danielle Bregoli, then 13-year-old girl who had a violent relationship with her mother. Her famous phrase she said during Dr. Phil’s show “Cash me ousside, howbow dah?” was soon turned into a meme and she became sort of a celebrity. It helped her launch a career in the music industry.

This time, another girl that was guest at the show is stealing people’s attention, and again, all for the “wrong” reasons. 

Nicolette Gray, 15-year-old girl from California, is mad at her mom for reducing her $5,000 a month allowance to “just” $1,000, forcing her “to live like a peasant.”

Nicolette enjoyed a lavish lifestyle and spent huge amounts of money on designer clothes and handbags. What’s most, she proudly calls herself a “brat” and wan’t her old life back. Apparently, $1,000 a month is way too low for her to be able to allow all her whims. 

Her mom, Nina Gray, says how her daughter can’t control her spending and has already piled up massive credit card bills.

Despite reducing her allowance, Nina also invited a family friend named Joel to live with them and keep an eye on how much Nicolette spends. 

Nicolette tried to make the audience feel sorry for her as she complained how she needs $2,500 just to cover her “basic” needs and she’s now always short on money. 

Nina, however, believes she had to do something in order to stop her girl from becoming spoiled and bratty. Sorry to say this, but we believe she’s spoiled rotten already. 

Nina says how she knows it was her fault that her daughter acquired that kind of behavior as she has been exposed to a lot of money and credit cards ever since she was very little. 

Over time, Nina couldn’t control Nicolette as she always threatens to make her mom’s life a living hell unless she gives her the money she needs to spend on luxuries. 

Dr. Phil advised Nina to not let Nicolette’s threats and tears make her give more money. Instead, she should try to bond with her on an emotional level and teach her of the right values in life.

Ivana Trump, Donald Trump’s first wife, takes all the “credit” for raising their children

By

When she first arrived in New York City from Canada where she lived for a while, Donald Trump’s first wife and mother of three of his children, met the mogul at a restaurant and it was the start of their relationship and the 14 years of marriage which ended with a bitter divorce.

Ivana was born on February 20, 1949 in Gottwaldov, today’s Zlin, Czechoslovakia, today’s Czech Republic.

As a child, she had it all. Her father Milos was very strict, but he taught his daughter to be disciplined. Ivana was very good at athletics and learned how to ski when she was around three years old. Some of her former classmates describe her as a very bright and intelligent woman who excelled at school.

Her beauty helped her get into the modeling industry and work with some of the most famous names in the world of fashion at the time after finding her way out of Communist-controlled Czechoslovakia.

Once in Canada, Ivana met and later married Austrian skier Alfred Winklmayr. The two stayed together for two years, and then in 1976, Ivana went to New York at a fashion show and that’s when her love story with the former president Trump began.

In her memoir, Ivana wrote how she and some friends were at Maxwell’s Plum, described by a 1988 The New York Times article as “a flamboyant restaurant and singles bar that, more than any place of its kind, symbolized two social revolutions of the 1960s – sex and food.” 

Getting a table there wasn’t easy, and as Ivana was waiting, this tall man with blue eyes tapped her on the shoulder, introduced himself as Donald Trump, and told her he will arrange a table for her. “I look at my friends and said, ‘The good news is, we’re going to get a table real fast. The bad news is, this guy is going to be sitting with us,’” she said in an interview with the NY Post.

After the dinner, Donald paid the bill and left the place. Once she was out, Ivana noticed him waiting for her in his limousine, and that’s how they started dating. At the time, Donald was the richest and most influential mogul who had just inherited his father’s empire and business.

Shortly after, Donald and Ivana tied the knot. First, their son Donald Trump Jr.was born, and then they welcomed their daughter Ivanka and son Eric.

After 14 years of marriage, the two divorced, and at the time, all eyes were on them. Ivana received $25 million and custody over her kids. Speaking of Donald, she always praised him of being the father every child could ask for. Although strict and unconventional, Donald was devoted and his children love him and support him.

“Donald might not have been the greatest husband to me, but he was a good father to the kids,” Ivana wrote. “Obviously, they adore him and are fiercely loyal to him. If he were a horrible dad, that would not be the case. If Donald wants to write a book about fatherhood, I would be happy to read it.”

Ivana took care of her kids, but she was also very successful as the CEO of two of Trump’s hotels.

“I believe the credit for raising such great kids belongs to me. I was in charge of raising our children before our divorce, and I had sole custody of them after the split,” she wrote in her memoir Raising Trump. “When each one finished college, I said to my ex-husband, “Here is the finished product. Now it’s your turn.”

After Donald, Ivana was married twice. Both times with men younger than her.

Speaking to Oprah in 2013, she said: “Younger guy gives you a little bit of the edge because it’s just more of the energy, which I definitely need. They have a hard time to keep up that’s for sure.”

However, both her marriages lasted quite shortly, for about two years. Her now ex-husband Riccardo Mazzucchelli said that Donald was to blame for his break up with Ivana. Donald, at the time, claimed she was still in love with him.

The Discovery reality-documentary series featuring the life of the Brown family, Alaskan Bush People, gathered the attention of a huge number of viewers who were eagerly waiting to see how this family lived in the remote area away from the civilization. Sadly, the head of the “wolf pack,” as the Browns referred to themselves, passed away on February 8, 2021, leaving his family behind.

Billy Brown was loved by many and is missed by his wife, his sons, his grandchildren, and everyone who loved watching his show.

One of Billy’s sons, Bear Brown, shared the devastating news on his private Instagram account and wrote: “We are heartbroken to announce that our beloved patriarch Billy Brown passed away last night after suffering from a seizure. He was our best friend — a wonderful and loving dad, granddad and husband and he will be dearly missed.

“He lived his life on his terms, off the grid and off the land and taught us to live like that as well,” continued 33-year-old Bear. “We plan to honor his legacy going forward, and to continue with his dream. We ask for privacy and prayers during this painful time. God Bless Everyone!”

Billy Brown — the Brown family patriarch featured in 12 seasons of the hit series “Alaskan Bush People” — has died.

Posted by TMZ on Monday, 8 February 2021

The reality was filmed in Hoonah, Alaska and Chichagof Island, portraying the life in the wilderness.

In the recent season, the Browns moved to Washington so that Billy’s wife Amy, who was diagnosed with lung cancer, could be near the hospital where she was receiving her treatments. Luckily, she won the fight against the disease and is now cancer free.

“As long as Ami and my family are beside me, I’ll ride the wind of adventure to the end.” Rest in peace, Billy.

The spokesperson of Discovery expressed their condolences to the Brown family. According to People, it read: “We are devastated to hear of Billy Brown’s sudden passing.

“He has been part of the Discovery family for years — a trailblazer, a lovely man and most definitely one of a kind. Our heart is with his family and those that knew him and loved him as they deal with this devastating loss.”

The family was extremely close and despite helping depict the life in Alaska, they also represented true values.

The family patriarch died Sunday night after suffering a seizure, his son said.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized for “exaggerating” the threat of Capitol rioters after she opens up about surviving the trauma

The Capitol riots which took place on 6 January, 2021 showed the world the flaws in the system of one of the greatest countries, the U.S.A.

Many judged the rioters as they saw them climbing walls, breaking doors, and destroying the government’s property. But it was the lawmakers who were inside the building at the time that feared for their lives the most. Among them was Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who spoke openly of the harrowing experience. Being a survivor of sexual assault, going through the ordeal caused by the rioters triggered fear at her.

Ocasio-Cortez heard someone yelling “Where is she?” while she was hiding inside the bathroom of her inner office. In an Instagram Live, she said how she feared she would be taken as a hostage, knowing many of the rioters were carrying zip-tie handcuffs, or even die. According to USA Today, Ocasio-Cortez said: “[It] almost felt like a zombie movie or something.”

“I thought I was going to die. This is the moment where I thought, ‘Everything is over,'” she said of the moment when a man, who happened to be a Capitol Police Officer, was looking for her “with a tremendous amount of anger and hostility.”

Ocasio-Cortez gathered the courage to speak up and people listened, but not everyone understood. Instead of words of compassion, many criticized her speech claiming she was looking for attention and saying she was exaggerating. One of those people was Rep. Nancy Mace who tweeted: “My office is 2 doors down. Insurrectionists never stormed our hallway.”

Conservative journalist Jack Posobiec shared a map of the Capitol complex on Twitter trying to represent Ocasio-Cortez as a liar.

“These claims from Ocasio-Cortez critics leave out key context. First, the Cannon building is connected to the Capitol via an underground walkway that is frequently used by legislators, aides, journalists and others; the Cannon building is considered part of the Capitol complex. Second, Ocasio-Cortez did not mislead about where she was during the insurrection; she explicitly explained on Instagram Live that her office is in a building near the Capitol,” read CNN Edition.

Capitol Police were instructed to evacuate people from the Cannon building.

Ocasio-Cortez further said that the attacks against her were just an attempt by the Republicans “to avoid accountability for inciting a deadly riot that killed five people, including a police officer, and attempted to overthrow a democratic election.”

Brave bride reads cheating groom’s texts to another woman instead of her vows at the altar

The wedding day is supposed to be one of the most memorable days in the life of a woman. This day is all about love, trust, and mutual respect. It’s the day when you promise to love and to cherish the person standing next to you forever.

But it seems that not everyone is lucky enough to find in a person a companion for life who will be there no matter what. Because sometimes, people are not who we think they are.

A bride-to-be that goes by the name “Casey” has a story to tell. She will certainly never forget the day she walked down the aisle, wearing the white gown, and a big smile on her face. But, the reason why this day is one to remember might not be why you think it is.

She writes on her account on Whimn how she had this unpleasant feeling in her stomach as she was looking at all those people who were there to celebrate her love.

The night before the big day, Casey was out with her best friends. As they were having fun, Casey received a text message. She quickly grabbed the phone thinking it was a well-wisher, but what she read made her world collapse in an instant.

It was series of screenshots and photos of her fiancé “Alex” with another woman. As she started reading the conversations, she simply knew it wasn’t someone playing tricks on her. Her gut was telling her Alex was a cheater. Along with the photos, she got a message that had her thinking. It said:  “I wouldn’t marry him. Will you?”

“This weekend. You and I. It is on, hot stuff. Bring your A game.”

“Your body is ******* incredible. And **** do you know how to use it. I wish my GF had half the skills you do.”

Aware that the wedding was the very next day, she decided not to confront Alex, and she had all the support form her friends. She had something else on her mind.

So, the next day, she stood next to her love, and as everyone was eager to hear the wedding wows, Casey said, “Alex is not who I thought he was” and she proceeded reading the messages instead. As the guests sat there looking stunned, Alex stormed out.

Casey didn’t think the day was ruined, instead she showed everyone that the real celebrations of life should be all about honesty. It was a day that taught her how respecting yourself is the most important of all, and it’s the only way that leads to true happiness.

Teen wakes up from coma after 10 months without his family by his side and wondering why everyone’s wearing masks

19-year-old Joseph Flavill was over the moon to be visiting the Buckingham Palace and receiving the Duke of Edinburgh youth achievement award, but two months before the trip was about to take place, young Joseph was involved in a car accident and ended up in coma.

Now, ten months after the collision which left him with a brain injury, Joseph is slowly waking up and showing progress. However, there is one thing that bothers his family, how would they explain it to him why no one is at the hospital by his side and why is everyone wearing a mask.

Posted by CNN en Español on Friday, 5 February 2021

When Joseph ended up in the hospital on Mach 1st of 2020, the situation with the pandemic was still under control. The United Kingdom had recorded just 23 cases of the new virus no one knew anything about and most of the deaths caused by it were registered in China only. Three weeks into coma, the virus rapidly spread and Britain went into lockdown.

His mom said how Joseph himself have been affected by the virus twice while in coma.

One of this young man’s aunts, Kate Yarbo, told CNN: “When he comes out of this, life will not be as he knows it at all. How do you describe it? I think it’s going to be a shock. We’re all still processing it — I’m not sure you can ever actually describe how this pandemic feels.”

His other aunt, Sally Flavill Smith, told The Guardian, “He won’t know anything about the pandemic as he’s been asleep for 10 months. His awareness is starting to improve now but we just don’t know what he knows. I just don’t know where to start with it. A year ago if someone had told me what was going to happen over the last year, I don’t think I would have believed it. I’ve got no idea how Joseph’s going to come to understand what we’ve all been through.”

Despite this thing about the pandemic, Joseph family is very happy that he’s showing quick progress. He understands what he’s told and is able to move his limbs when asked to.

The hospital costs will probably be huge, so the family is raising money to help them cover the bills. So far, they raised nearly $45,000, although they are convinced it will all cost a lot more.

“Nobody knows what the long-term impact will be, but we do know that the journey could be long and costly,” they wrote on their website, Joseph’s Journey. We are glad Joseph is recovering and we hope we’ll see him standing and running in the months or even days to come.

Hero recalls the moment he stepped in to save 6-year-old boy locked inside his grandma’s shed

Juan Vaquero is the man who stepped in for a 6-year-old boy in need of help. The little one was found locked in his grandma’s filthy shed with his arms tied behind his back.

Vaquero recalls the moment he heard the noises coming from the shed while he was renting the backyard of the boy’s grandma’s house and lived in a trailer. He knew the little boy from before as he had seen him playing around, but he had no idea he was mistreated by the grandma, Esmeralda Lira, 53, and her 64-year-old boyfriend Jose Balderas.

CBSDFW News

When Vaquero approached the shed that evening and asked who’s inside, a trembling voice answered. The boy said how he was very hungry as he hadn’t eaten since the morning and it was 10 p.m. already.

Vaquero said how he will bring a Jell-O, but the boy told him he couldn’t eat it because his arms were tied. That’s when Vaquero realized the severity of the situation. It wasn’t just a family matter where a boy was innocently grounded for something he did, so he decided to interfere and called child protection services.

Dallas police was soon at the scene. They entered the shed and discovered the helpless boy. Rats and insects could be spotted around him.

In the house, there were two other children as well.

When questioned why they did what they did to the little boy, Esmeralda and her boyfriend said how he was stealing food. Dallas Police believes the boy had been locked in the shed every night for two weeks.

Both Esmeralda and Jose have been arrested and charged for endangering a child.

With tears in his eyes, Vaquero says, “It had to be me who spoke up.” He is very happy he got to help the boy. If he stayed longer with such cruel people as his grandma and her boyfriend who knows what would have happened and what else he would have to go through.

200 farmers stay quiet during auction so young man can get his long-lost family farm back

By
Nicole
-

When inheritance comes into question, many unexpected things can occur. Adults usually get the ‘more serious’ stuff, while kids usually inherit some minor valuable objects. Jewelry, expensive collections or pieces of art are usually what kids get.

However, Daivd and his family’s experience is totally different. They didn’t even expect to inherit a farmland of 80 acres.

David’s experience is very interesting and rare as a matter of fact. He comes from a  family of farmers. The family’s story is mainly concerning the loss of a huge land. One relative of theirs managed to take away a big piece of land in a very unfair way.

They lost the land years ago. The person who took the land, even though was their relative, didn’t think well to them. David and his family though their land would have never been taken back again.

David grew up hearing this story over and over again. The family’s goal was to reclaim the land and make their farmland whole again.

That opportunity finally came. David was in his twenties and together with his father decided to try to reclaim the land. Against all odds, they were convinced that somehow they will manage it. Regarding that, David says:

“Even though I dreamt of getting the land back for as long as I could remember, when the day came, I wasn’t ready,” he said.

The farm that was object of David’s interest was put for an auction. He and his father knew that there was a huge chance for not getting the land, but they wanted to try anyway.

The place of the auction turned out to be full of people who were interested to buy the land. There were some 200 farmers present, and most of them were more influential farmers as well. This was an additional reason for David’s pessimistic thinking.

The auction began and the bid was opened. David and his father wanted at least to open the auction and they relied on their luck. They opened the first bid. The judge called for a second bid and none of the 200 farmers spoke.

Everyone fell silent. .

This caught the auctioneer by surprise. He couldn’t believe that no one except David bid the auction. Therefore, he called for a break. After the break the same thing happened. No one spoke. Three times this has been repeated and no one participated the auction, except David.

The result was evident. David succeeded in making the farm whole again.

There was an explanation for this outcome and the bid itself.

David’s case was apparently known to the Nebraskan farming community. Everyone knew how his farm was taken by the family unfairly. Therefore, they decided to help him get back what was his own.

David recalls:

“I’ve had two profoundly humbling days in my life. The first was the day my son was born. The second was that unforgettable day at the Auction House,” he said.

The silence is very power in some cases. This story from Nebraska shows exactly that. The community came together and helped their friend or neighbour. They showed that joint forced can make miracles.

Neighbors report 90-year-old lady for her messy yard instead of helping her clean it – Strangers step in

Religion teaches us to “love your neighbor as yourself,” but how many of us live by this commandment? The answer is not many, sadly.

Nowadays, people are too busy with their personal problems and lives and they barely find any time for those around them. And no matter now disappointing this sounds, it’s the harsh reality of today.

A 90-year-old woman named Agnes Mable found herself in trouble after her neighbors complained about her yard which was covered in clutter. The thing was that all those things didn’t even belong to her in the first place. One of her family members took advantage of her condition and placed all his trash and belongings at Agnes’.

Instead of lending her a helping hand, her neighbors did things even harder for her as their complaints made poor Agnes face a fine of around $2,500.

YouTube

Old and fragile, there was no chance for this lady to clean her yard herself. On top of that, she was unable to fix the holes in her roof. Things seemed dim and it looked like there was no way out of the situation Agnes found herself in.

But then, she thought of contacting Operation Blessing, and that turned out to be a call that changed her life. The kind-hearted volunteers came to Agnes’ place in no time and got rid of the clutter. They even fixed the holes in the roof and gave Agnes a surprise she will never forget.

Take a look at the video below for the full story and learn what these volunteers had for this lovely lady.

Baby dies during baptism after it’s head was put under water three times at Romanian Orthodox Church

Six-week-old baby died of cardiac arrest after a baptism ceremony in Romania. The priest, who now faces manslaughter charges, immersed the infant in the holy water three times. The poor baby inhaled the water and was rushed to hospital but passed away hours later due to liquid in his lungs.

The baptism ceremonies held in Romania where over 80 percent of the population is Orthodox are considered very important events and are often celebrated with hundreds of guests and huge parties.

According to a number of recent polls, the church is the most trusted institution in this European county. However, after this tragedy, a number of people have asked from the church to change the baptism rituals. In fact, by Thursday evening, over 56,000 signatures have been gathered. The petition said: “The death of a newborn baby because of this practice is a huge tragedy. This risk must be ruled out for the joy of baptism to triumph.”

Romanian Orthodox priests sprinkle holy water over believers to bless them at the end of the Epiphany mass held on January 6 every year 

Church representatives took their stand, among which Vasile Banescu who believes that instead of immersing the babies in the water three times, priests can pour or sprinkle a little water on the little one’s forehead, which is the case in other Orthodox countries. Archbishop Teodosie, the leader of the Church’s traditionalist wing, however, said the tradition won’t change.

We are so very sorry for the loss of an innocent soul. Rest in peace.

2-year-old brings police officers to struggling mother of six who fled an abusive relationship

Following the death of George Floyd, a black man who died after a police officer kneeled on his neck, protests against police brutality took place all over the country. This led for many people to question whether they should trust the police or not.

However, the fact is that we should never judge a whole group based on individuals, and the officers from the Dallas Police Department are a perfect example of that.

Source: YouTube – CBSDFW

As two female officers, Delia Pesina and Reenshia McIntyre, were responding to a call at an apartment complex, one two-year-old girl invited them over. They were all smiles because of the toddler’s act and decided to enter her place. There, they met the girl’s mother and her five siblings. But what caught the officers’ attention was that there was barely any furniture inside. After a short conversation, they learned how the mother fled from an abusive relationship and was having a hard time make ends meet. She was unable to buy any furniture or essentials and she and her kids even reused old Styrofoam plates.

After the encounter, the officers had to get back to work, but they couldn’t stop thinking of the family of seven that was living so poorly.

At the end of their shift, one of the officers said, “So, we’re coming back aren’t we?”

They shared the story with the rest of the members of the department and everyone was more than happy to step in for the struggling mom and her kids as they told CBSDFW.

In a very short period of time, the officers were able to collect money to buy furniture and essentials. When they visited the family again, carrying all the stuff they bought, the mom and the little ones couldn’t believe their eyes. They were overjoyed and very thankful to the kind-hearted people who made their life a bit easier. “We told the children, ‘This is where you’re going to be sleeping.’ The excitement on their face was so heartfelt we had to fight back tears,” one of the officers said.

The story quickly spread around and melted the hearts of many. It showed that most of the police officers are ready to assist the members of their community beyond their job duties. People agree that stories like this help restore their faith in the system.

“For me, it’s part of my job description. I think it’s part of my heart,” one of the officers said.

The mother expressed her gratitude and said, “I wish I could do more than say thank you to everyone that contributed to me and my children. We love y’all and really love the things you gave us. We are very much appreciative and grateful for you guys helping us.”

As reported by The Sun, the baby’s mother was identified and arrested but her name wasn’t revealed. Authorities believe she gave birth at Dr. Ramon Madariaga Treble Hospital and abandoned her daughter at a nearby street, according to The Daily Mail.

David Halac, a representative of the hospital where the baby was treated, said that the knife which was stuck in the baby’s back was the same one that was used to inflict the other injuries.

As this baby girl’s survival was a real miracle, the staff at the hospital decided to name her Esperanza, which stands for Hope in Spanish.

We are so very sorry Esperanza had to go through such an ordeal just two days after she entered this world, but we are at the same time overjoyed she got to live. We hope she will end up with a loving family.

Hollywood paid tribute to one of the best and most versatile actors, Canadian-born Christopher Plummer who died on Friday at the age of 91.

Plummer was born in 1929 in Toronto, and during his career which spanned seventy years he played a number of different roles, but he will probably be best remembered by many for his role as Captain Von Trapp in the iconic musical The Sound of Music.

Known as a classically-trained Shakespearean, Plummer gained worldwide recognition for his performances in film, television, and on stage, where he played the leading roles in a huge number of productions, including Hamlet, Macbeth, Richard III, and many more.

Plummer’s talent and success won him an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor at the age of 82 for Beginners. At the age of 88, he was nominated for Oscar for All the Money in the World, thus became the oldest person to be nominated in an acting category. At the same time, Plummer won two Tony Awards, out of seven nominations, a Golden Globe, a Screen Actors Guild Award and a Bafta. He is one of the few actors who have won the Triple Crown of Acting.

Speaking of the role which somehow marked his career, Plummer once told The New York Times: “That damn movie follows me around like an albatross,” calling Von Trapp an “empty carcass of a role.”

In a 2009 interview, the actor was reported saying: “[The Sound of Music] was a very well-made movie, and it’s a family movie and we haven’t seen a family movie, I don’t think, on that scale for ages. I don’t mind that. It just happened to be not my particular cup of tea.”

Plummer earned further acclaim for the films The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, All the Money in the World, Knives Out, and a lot more.

His wife, Elaine Taylor, said the actor died peacefully in their family home and stated the cause of death was a blow to the head as a result of a fall.

“We’ve lost one of our most iconic and beloved actors,” Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said. “[He] gave life to so many characters we love and cherish.” A huge number of actors and actresses paid tribute to Plummer.

“My heart is broken. Thank you always for your laughter, your warmth, your talent… the vitamins when I got sick, your patience, your partnership and your company,” Knives Out star Ana de Armas wrote on Instagram.

“The world has lost a consummate actor today and I have lost a cherished friend,” Dame Julie said in a statement. “I treasure the memories of our work together and all the humor and fun we shared through the years.”

Rest in peace.

In a shooting which took place February 2, in Sunrise, Florida, two FBI agents were killed and three were injured.

According to NBC News, at the time of the incident, the agents were serving a search warrant in a case involving violent crimes against children and were aiming at seizing evidence in child pornography investigation.

Sadly, things took different turn when the suspect began shooting and barricaded himself inside the complex.

Alyssa Ostroff, a young woman living in an apartment close to the shooting scene said how there were “FBI agents and SWAT all over the place” and law-enforcement personnel was asking the suspect to surrender through a megaphone. “It got really quiet after that,” she added.

The agents who lost their lives that day were both veterans who had spent more than six years investigating child-exploitation cases and had been involved in high-profile cases, according to George Piro, special agent in charge of the Miami field office. The injured agents are now stable.

Both agent Daniel Alfin and agent Laura Schwartzenberger helped save the lives of hundreds of children involved in child pornography and sex trafficking over the years.

Speaking of the late agents and their immense contribution in the fight against children exploitation, Nicholas Weaver, a computer security expert at the University of California at Berkeley said: “Their work speaks for itself: You just read the court cases and transcripts and it breaks your heart. I can’t even hope to estimate the number of children Agent Alfin and Agent Schwartzenberger’s investigations have rescued from horrific circumstances. The loss of both is a tragedy.”

“Every day, FBI special agents put themselves in harm’s way to keep the American people safe. Special Agent Alfin and Special Agent Schwartzenberger exemplified heroism today in defense of their country,” FBI Director Christopher Wray said.

“The FBI will always honor their ultimate sacrifice and will be forever grateful for their bravery. We continue to stand by our FBI Family, and the families of these special agents, in the days to come, bringing every resource we can to get through this together.”

“The FBI is a family, and our chosen profession is fraught with danger. Today, this grim reality has taken two of our best from our family.”

Rest in peace.

Trump’s son Eric says his dad is the “most beloved political figure in U.S. history”

Former president Donald Trump is the only U.S. president or other federal official to be impeached twice. The second impeachment trial against him is to commence on February 9, 2021. The New York Times reported that The House adopted one article of impeachment against Trump: incitement of insurrection, and charged him with “high crimes and misdemeanors” for inciting the storming of the Capitol in Washington, D.C.

According to his children, however, this whole thing is an unjust by those who want see their dad fail.

Eric, Trump’s son, has been under the spotlight these days after his claims that his father is the most beloved political figure in history reached Internet and magazines.

Speaking with Fox News pro-Trump commentator Sean Hannity, Eric claimed his father had nothing to do with the Capitol riots and accused the democrats of “manufacturing everything under the sun against my father, against all of us. They do it every single day.”

“They continue to do it. Even when he’s a private citizen, they’re still trying to impeach him,” Eric added.

Of course, a son standing for his father isn’t something strange or unusual, but Eric presenting Trump as the most beloved political figure is unjustified based on the number of polls that emerged during his one-term presidency. According to reports, Trump is the first president since before World War Two not to manage an average rating of over 50%.

However, Trump remains a very popular figure among the Republican Party with many being convinced he will run again for president in 2024.

Recently, Eric took a trip to Scotland after The Scottish Green Party attempted to probe the Trump family golf courses. Speaking of this matter, Eric said: “At a critical time when politicians should be focused on saving lives and reopening businesses in Scotland, they are focused on advancing their personal agendas.”

“The Trump Organisation has invested hundreds of millions of dollars into the Scottish economy, rescued Turnberry, and rebuilt it into one of the finest resorts anywhere in the world.

“In both Aberdeen and Turnberry, the Trump Organisation has created thousands of jobs and has made an overwhelming contribution to the leisure and tourism industry,” Eric added.

What are your thoughts on this? Do you believe Trump deserves to be considered a beloved history figure?

GOP Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene claimed she had Trump’s support after phone call with her “all time favorite POTUS”

The House voted Thursday evening to remove GOP Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene from the Education and Budget committees after controversial statements she has given in the past have triggered backlash.

Greene who was elected in November, representing a district in the southern state of Georgia, had claimed before her election that school shootings including the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School as well as the Las Vegas music festival shooting in 2017 and the 9/11 attacks were staged.

She is also a well known believer in the disproven and discredited QAnon far-right conspiracy theory alleging that “a secret group of Satan-worshipping, cannibalistic pedophiles is running a global child sex-trafficking ring and plotting against former U.S. president Donald Trump.”

Recently, she tweeted saying how she and her “all time favorite POTUS Trump” had a phone call and claimed she had his support.

“You can never beat him because We The People have his back. The blood thirsty media and the socialists hate America Democrats are attacking me now just like they always attack President Trump. I won’t back down. I’ll never apologize. And I’ll always keep fighting for the people. For me, it’s America First!!! Any elected politician that isn’t putting America First doesn’t deserve their position or the people’s trust,” she wrote in a series of Tweets.

“I will never back down and will stand up against the never ending blood thirsty mob who has addicted their followers to hate, in order to everything I can to protect our freedoms,” she added.

“I’m so thankful to say the people have my back and I will always have theirs.”

Controversial Georgia congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene says she will soon meet with former President Donald Trump as Democrats try to drum up support to remove her from Congress.

Posted by Sky News Australia on Monday, 1 February 2021

Greene has supported social media posts calling for “political violence against the Speaker of the House, members of Congress, and former President Barack Obama,” California Congressman Jimmy Gomez stated.

She defended herself on the House floor saying the conspiracy theories she once supported and fought for were just part of her past and she no longer stood for any of it.

Recently, a video of Greene harassing David Hogg in 2018, then a 17-year-old survivor of the Parkland school shooting, emerged. “Why are you using kids as a barrier?” she kept asking him as he tried to ignore her while he was walking on Capitol Hill. You can see the video below.

Cancer-survivor teacher gets emotional after her students surprise her in the hallway of the school

Great teachers change lives, and this isn’t something we say it just like that. Many times, when kids need that little push in life which helps them find their calling, their teachers are there to provide it to them.

The good thing is that most of the students never forget what these special individuals did for them. Just like the young people from Ms. Watson’s class. As it turns out, this choir teacher is truly exceptional. Many of those who have ever attended her classes say they would be nowhere near where they are today if it had not been for her. She has always made sure she helped her students succeed and showed she cared.

However, Ms. Watson took seven months off after she was diagnosed with cancer. Being the fighter she is, this incredible woman is now cancer free and ready to get back to her job.

Wanting to show her how much they missed her and how much they love her, her students decided to surprise her with a lovely rendition of Amazing Grace. Needless to say, she was touched to the core and happy she helped shape these young people into caring people.

Three people die in murder-suicide after an argument over snow shoveling in Pennsylvania

15-year-old boy with autism was left orphaned after his mom and dad were shot dead by their neighbor who later ended his own life.

Plains Township Police Chief Dale Binker said the murder-suicide took place on Monday, February 1, around 9 a.m., following a dispute between the shooter, Jeffrey Spaide, and neighbors Lisa and James Goy, according to CNN.

It has been reported that Spaide had been shoveling the snow from his driveway and the Goys were doing the same in front of their own home across the road. Spaide then asked the couple to stop and the argument escalated quickly, after which Spaide entered his home, took a gun and injured Lisa and James firing multiple shots “at a close range.”

But he didn’t stop there. He entered his home again, pulled out an AR-style rifle, and executed the couple. Binker told CNN how this wasn’t the first time for the shooter and the Goys to argue over snow shoveling, although the matter had never been brought up to the police.

Upon arrival at the murder scene, police heard another shot coming from Spaide’s home. After murdering his neighbors, he killed himself.

Binker said that Spaide didn’t have problems with the law or the police in the past.

As for the son of the Goys, his grandparents will assume custody.

We are so very sorry these people’s lives were lost in vain. Rest in peace.

Meghan Markle claims Archie’s birth certificate “snub” was “dictated by The Palace”

Almost a year after The Duke and The Duchess of Sussex stepped down from their royal duties and headed to Canada and later to sunny California where they purchased a $14.65 million home in Santa Barbara, yet another move they made put them under the spotlight again. Well, it isn’t like they were ever out of it, as ever since their relationship went public, all eyes are on them.

The birth certificate of Meghan and Harry’s only son and seventh in line to the crown, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, went public and everyone noticed a change in the mother’s name was made a month after the baby was born. Namely, ‘Rachel Meghan,’ the first and the middle name of Markle were removed. Instead, only the more formal ‘Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Sussex’ remained.

Many saw this as a ‘snub’ to Prince William and Kate Middleton, as Kate’s name is on her children’s birth certificates. However, the spokesperson of the Sussex Royals said that the claim of a potential “snub” would be “laughable were it not offensive,” adding: “The change of name on public documents in 2019 was dictated by The Palace, as confirmed by documents from senior Palace officials.

According to The Mirror, Meghan herself insisted the move was “dictated by the Palace.”

Meghan and Harry wanted to be financially independent and according to media, they have already signed multi-million contracts with Netflix and Spotify.

They also split from the non-profit organization they shared with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and set up their own foundation, Archewell, which focuses on conservation, female empowerment and gender equality.

Prince Harry is said to be stepping on British soil after almost a year for the celebration of his grandfather’s 100th birthday. He will also attend his grandma’s birthday and the unveiling of the statue that he and his brother commissioned in memory of their mother, Princess Diana, at Kensington Palace in July.
