Why kidney failure is striking the young—And how to stop it

By

-

End-stage kidney failure (ESRF) or disease (ESRD), or simply kidney failure, is the fifth and final stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression. At this point, you need dialysis or kidney transplant in order to survive.

Kidney failure occurs when the kidneys fail to function properly and are unable to effectively filter toxins, manage blood pressure, and regulate electrolyte levels. Until recently, kidney failure was related to old age, but sadly, the disease affects more and more young adults in recent years.

This disturbing trend calls for urgent education on lifestyle choices, early symptoms, and prevention.

Most recently, the case of a Vietnamese actress younger than 30 who was diagnosed with end-stage kidney failure sent shockwaves across the country, but her case is not unique. Many others have faced the same and nephrologists around the world are raising the alarm: kidney failure is getting younger. They also agree that the condition is largely preventable at the younger population because the risk factors leading to kidney failure are driven by lifestyle, most precisely by two destructive habits.

1. Unbalanced Diets Rich in Protein and Processed Foods

When trying to lose weight or build muscle, many adults turn to protein-rich supplements. The large amounts of “high-protein” place strain on your kidneys by raising urea and uric acid levels, overloading the kidneys and increasing the risk of kidney stones and damage.

Additionally, processed foods rich in sodium, sugar, and phosphates further affect the health of your kidneys.

A 2020 study published in the Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology links high-sodium, low-potassium diets to kidney decline—even in healthy young adults.

2. Lack of Exercise and Sedentary Lifestyle

Another major risk is inactivity, which leads to obesity, high blood pressure, and diabetes — conditions contributing to kidney damage.

A 2023 study in Kidney International Reports linked sedentary lifestyle to rapid declines in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)—the key measure of kidney function.

It is estimated that young people spend 10-12 hours a day on their lap tops, scrolling on their phones, and binge-watching TV.

The kidneys are very resilient, meaning they can do their job even if they lose up to 90 percent of their function, according to Healthline.

Usually the symptoms in early stages of kidney failure are almost nonexistent, but when they do occur, they may include:

confusion
decreased urine output
fatigue
itching
muscle twitches and cramping
metallic taste in your mouth
nausea and vomiting
loss of appetite
seizures
swelling in your body
shortness of breath due to fluid buildup in your lungs
weakness

While kidney failure cannot always be prevented, there are things you can do to minimize the risks.

Except for a balanced diet and avoidance of processed foods, as well as minimizing a sedentary lifestyle as described before, other ways to protect your kidneys include: managing blood sugar levels, managing high blood pressure, maintaining a healthy weight, reducing salt intake, drinking enough water, limiting the consumption of alcohol, quitting smoking, and reducing stress among the rest.

Top FBI official makes chilling claim about Epstein investigation

By

Monica Pop

-

Disgraced billionaire Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide in his cell while awaiting trial in federal prison, and theories regarding his death have been circulating ever since, with the public, as well as Trump, demanding the justice department to release all grand jury testimony in the late financier’s case.

The FBI addressed the conspiracy theories, with Deputy Director Dan Bongino revealing to Fox News that the Intelligence Agency possesses surveillance footage of the night Epstein died which shows that he committed suicide. Bongino added that the FBI is reviewing “tens of thousands of videos” involving Epstein with children or involving child p**n, with “hundreds of victims” identified. Also, he shared that there was no “client list.”

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

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

Bongino asked from the public to extend patience as they are handling vast evidence.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Bongino informed President Donald Trump in May that his name was in the Epstein files and claimed the files would be withheld by the administration because they contain pictures of child s**ual abuse.

During the 80s and the 90s, Trump was close friends with Epstein and British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence due to her involvement in Epstein’s crimes.

According to the Independent, Maxwell is appealing her conviction, with attorney Alan Dershowitz stating she “knows everything” about Epstein’s sex trafficking case and is prepared to testify before Congress in case she’s granted immunity.

“She knows everything. She is the Rosetta Stone,” Dershowitz said on Fox News Sunday, and added, “she knows everything, she arranged every single trip with everybody, she knows everything.”

“If she were just given use immunity, she could be compelled to testify,” he added. “I’m told that she actually would be willing to testify, and there’d be no reason for her to withhold any information.”

Trump faces no criminal charges and his name appearing in the files does not automatically imply involvement in Epstein’s child s*x trafficking activities.

Given that Ghislaine Maxwell reportedly “didn’t hold back” during her questioning has led many to believe she’s angling for a presidential pardon. Trump commented on the matter, saying, “I’m allowed to do it, but it’s something I haven’t thought about.”

Amid the Epstein scandal, Dan Bongino revealed he has discovered matters that have “shocked me down to my core” during his time in office, The Mail reported.

“We cannot run a Republic like this. I’ll never be the same after learning what I’ve learned.

“We are going to conduct these righteous and proper investigations by the book and in accordance with the law. We are going to get the answers WE ALL DESERVE.”

Many believe the message is cryptic and expect Bongino to reveal more information in the days to come.

"There is nothing in the file at this point on the Epstein case — and there is going to be a disclosure on this coming shortly — there is VIDEO. That is something the public does not know."

FBI Deputy Director @DBongino says video exists that seems to show Epstein k*lled himself pic.twitter.com/48qkMvvueQ

— Kyle Becker (@kylenabecker) May 29, 2025

Bongino added that “as with any investigation, I cannot predict where it will land, but I can promise you an honest and dignified effort at truth. Not ‘my truth,’ or ‘your truth,’ but THE TRUTH.”

Further writing that “things are happening,” the FBI Deputy Director did not specify what he was talking about but he did made reference to recent findings about the weaponization and corruption of the government.

New details emerge in shocking death of Anne Burrell

By

Monica Pop

-

Celebrity chef and Food Network star Anne Burrell was found “unconscious and unresponsive” in her Brooklyn home on the morning of Tuesday, June 17. According to the New York City Police Department she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Her family issued a statement confirming her passing. “Anne was a beloved wife, sister, daughter, stepmother, and friend, her smile lit up every room she entered,” the statement read.

“Anne’s light radiated far beyond those she knew, touching millions across the world,” the family added. “Though she is no longer with us, her warmth, spirit, and boundless love remain eternal.”

Law enforcement officials have stated that they are currently looking into the death of famous chef Anne Burrell as a potential overdose.

They continue to emphasize that no foul play is suspected.

Sources close to the chef claim drugs were discovered close to her body after she purportedly suffered a heart arrest.

People reports that the celebrity chef spent her Monday evening performing an improv show at The Second City New York. “Everyone said she was so great last night and so happy,” a source told the outlet. Another person confirmed Burrell’s upbeat mood and added that she “was in great spirits” during and after the show. “Typical fun, outgoing Anne, having a blast,” the insider shared with the outlet.

Her sudden passing the day after came as a huge shock to everyone who had attended her show the day prior and witnessed she seemed perfectly fine.

Five days before her passing, Burrell shared a post on Instagram, “I ran into @greenladyofbrooklyn in my neighborhood today!! I’m not going to lie- I have been keeping an eye out for her. I may or may not have followed her down the street for a minute. She is just lovely!!! #ilovewhatido #luckygirl 💚💚💚.”

Being part of the culinary industry for years, she helped hundreds of chefs in the making become better cooks and discover their culinary voice.

In an April interview with TastingTable, she spoke of the connection between cooks and food. “I truly in my heart feel that your food knows how you’re feeling when you cook it and it reacts accordingly,” she said.

Anne Burrell was a firm believer in mise en place.

She encouraged cooks to prep ingredients ahead and clean as you go in order to keep the kitchen running smoothly.

She made a name for herself hosting Secrets of a Restaurant Chef, All-Star Best Thing I Ever Ate, Chef Wanted with Anne Burrell, and making memorable appearances on Iron Chef America.

Anne Burrell’s dedication went far from the kitchen. She served as an advisory board member for the Garden of Dreams Foundation, acted as a celebrity ambassador for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, and actively supported City Harvest’s Food Council.

Burrell often said, “I feel so lucky to be able to share my true passion in life with others.”

She is survived by her husband Stuart Claxton, and his son, Javier, as well as her mother, Marlene, her sister, Jane, and her brother Ben.

5 things doctors say you should never give your children to help prevent cancer

By

Monica Pop

-

Cancer is a devastating disease that not only impacts the life of the person receiving the diagnosis, but also the lives of their loved ones. Battling cancer can be a long and painful journey, and sadly, not everyone who is affected by this disease ends up a winner.

The sad reality is that cancer also affects children of all ages, from newborns and toddlers to preschoolers and teenagers.

Luke Morin and Garrett Matthias were both 5 years old when they lost their young lives to cancer.

Luke only lived 17 days after he was diagnosed with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG)—one of the rarest and most aggressive childhood brain cancers with a zero percent survival rate. His family says that their son “was stollen from them,” and they are doing everything in their power to raise awareness and help raise money in hopes of finding a cure for DIPG.

Garrett battled a rare childhood cancer for ten long months before he passed away. He was aware of the disease and even wrote his own obituary, sharing his wish to be buried with a party, something his parents honored no matter how heartbroken they were. Instead of a sad funeral, something their son didn’t like, they hosted a celebration of life completed with a bounce house, snow cones and an Asgardians burial, like Thor’s mom from the movie.

Both Luke and Garrett were raised in loving families, adored by everyone who knew them. Their parents did all in their power to keep them happy and healthy, but despite providing only for the best for them, they both got cancer.

The truth is that their parents did nothing wrong. Simply, cancer is cruel, and it’s sometimes genetic, and while we can’t control whether we will be diagnosed or not, doctors say there are certain things we can do in order to minimize the risks, especially when it comes to our children.

There are five things doctors say parents should avoid giving their children.

1. Ultra-Processed Meats (Hot Dogs, Bacon, Sausages)

The World Health Organization has classified processed meats including ham, bacon, salami and frankfurts as a Group 1 carcinogen (known to cause cancer) which means that there’s strong evidence that processed meats cause cancer, the Cancer Council reports.

These products contain nitrates and nitrites, preservatives known to form carcinogenic compounds in the body, especially in the colon. Since children’s digestive system is still developing, they are more vulnerable.

Consider replacing them with fresh lean meats, grilled poultry, or plant-based alternatives.

2. Sugary Drinks (Sodas, Energy Drinks, Even Some Juices)

Soft drinks, energy drinks, and even juices are full of sugars and their consumption can easily lead to obesity and diabetes.

The same goes for the diet sodas, which are expected to be a healthier option but are actually disrupting our metabolism and increasing the hunger. Dr. London, who has almost 400,000 followers on his TikTok account, refers to soft drinks as to “liquid death.” Except for high amounts of sugar, these drinks contain artificial dyes and preservatives linked to cancer in animal studies.

A better options would be water with fresh fruit slices or smoothies made of whole fruits.

3. Plastic Containers and Bottles with BP

When offering drinks in plastic containers and bottles, there is a chance of Bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical often found in these products, to enter the food or drink we consume. Acting as an endocrine disruptor, BPA can mimic the hormone estrogen. This can increase the risk of cancers such as breast and prostate cancer.

Even when a plastic product is marked “BPA-free,” it contains BPS (Bisphenol S), which is as dangerous.

Use glass, stainless steel, or food-safe silicone containers instead and never microwave plastic.

4. Heavily Fried or Charred Foods

Heavily fried or charred foods can produce harmful chemicals like acrylamide and HCAs, which are linked to cancer risk.

Healthier cooking methods include steaming or baking.

5. Talc-Based Baby Powder or Products with Formaldehyde

Many baby powders that use talc have been linked to cancer risks due to possible asbestos contamination. Other baby care products such as wet wipes and shampoos also contain formaldehyde-releasing chemicals, which are considered cancerous.

When choosing what’s best for your child, opt for talc-free and formaldehyde-free products from brands that use natural ingredients.

These small but meaningful choices may reduce the risks of your child being affected with cancer later in life. While growing up, children are more sensitive to toxins and chemicals than adults, so why not do what’s best for them and their health.

BREAKING: 11 injured in mass stabbing at Michigan Walmart

By

Monica Pop

-

Eleven people were injured during a stabbing spree at a Walmart in Traverse City, Michigan, Saturday afternoon. Had it not been for the quick reaction of bystanders and FBI personnel who were able to subdue the suspect, the number of people injured would have been higher, authorities reported.

The motive behind the attack remains unknown, according to Grand Traverse County Sheriff Michael Shea.

Following the incident, which left six of the injured people in a serious condition, the attacker, identified as 42-year-old Bradford Gille of Afton, Michigan, has been arrested. He is expected to be charged with one count of terrorism and 11 counts of assault with intent to murder.

According to Shea, the suspect, who is being detained in country jail, had “prior assaultive incidents as well as controlled substance violations.”

“It appears that these were all random acts,” Shea added. “The victims were not predetermined.

“I cannot commend everyone that was involved enough. When you stop and look from the time of call to the time of actual custody, the individual was detained within one minute,” Shea said at the press conference. “That is remarkable. When you look at it in that mitigated Lord knows how many additional victims.”

Jan-Michael Stump/Traverse City Record-Eagle via AP

Gille committed the attack using a folding knife near a checkout counter at about 4:45 p.m.

“Me and my sister work there. The whole store started screaming and running. There was a guy with a knife—he stabbed six people. I saw someone stabbed in the eye,” Walmart employee Tasha Nash, the Independent reported.

Another witness, Tiffany DeFell, who lives about 25 miles from Traverse City, was at the parking lot when the attack took place. “It was really scary. Me and my sister were just freaking out,” she told The Associated Press. “This is something you see out of the movies. It’s not what you expect to see where you’re living.”

Steven Carter, who was also at the parking lot at the time, loading his truck, said, “At first, it was disbelief. I thought maybe it was like a terror attack.

“And then it was fear, disbelief, shock. And that was, it was just amazing, and it all happened fast. Like he was totally subdued on the ground by the time police arrived.”

In a follow up statement, Walmart said they will be working close with law enforcement to help the investigation. “Violence like this is unacceptable. Our thoughts are with those who were injured and we’re thankful for the swift action of first responders,” the retailer’s spokesperson Joe Pennington said.

Mel Gibson’s son Milo Gibson is a spitting image of his father

By

Monica Pop

-

Finding yourself in the right place, at the right time is what some believe to be luck, but I call it destiny. When actor Mel Gibson was given the script of Braveheart and was offered the legendary role of rebel William Wallace who fought against King Edward I and his oppression, he could sense that script will change his life forever.

“It is just a funny corner of history that I’d never heard of before. And the script was a very haunting piece of work,” the actor said.

“I put it down and thought, it’s a pretty good script’. And then I couldn’t stop thinking about it, it obviously got inside my head. It was given to me on an acting basis, but I just felt I had to tell this story, I repeated scenes and sequences inside of my head. So that’s a pretty good indication that you probably should direct it.”

The story behind excelling the Scottish dialect is definitely worth sharing.

Well, Gibson learned from the best, the most famous Scotsman, Sir Sean Connery himself. Of course, Gibson’s mother, who is of Irish origin, played part as well.

“We were at Andy Vajna’s place and he’s Hungarian, so he made Goulash. Now, imagine Sean Connery saying that word,” Gibson said on The Graham Norton Show. “To hear Sean actually utter a word like ‘goulash’ is a lesson in itself. You just pick up the accent from the people you’re talking to and hearing and he helped me perfect my Scottish accent.”

This role is what cemented his position as a true Hollywood legend, although the rest of the movies he starred in and the roles he played throughout his career were more or less as significant as that of William Wallace.

Gibson has nine children, and one of them, his son Milo Gibson, is pursuing a career in the film industry just like his father. In fact, Milo didn’t really plan on becoming an actor and his dad never pushed him into the business. Speaking of his parents, Milo said how they always believed the kids should be let to choose their own profession.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Milo Gibson (@milogibson)

All of Gibson’s children were provided with the most natural upbringing there is. They were never really part of that Hollywood glam.

“It wasn’t a showbiz childhood,” he says. “Our parents kept us out of that type of world,” Milo Gibson told The Australian. “Because it changes people, I think.”

“We didn’t grow up in the Hollywood lifestyle clique. I basically did everything other than going into the career of acting; I wanted to do more of a blue-collar job that involved real people.”

And so it was. Milo worked as a private massage therapist for a couple of years and became an electrician later on. But, as it turned out, the love for acting was always there, and before long, Milo tried himself in the film.

“My dad was always a big advocate of doing what you like to do, and keep doing new things and trying new things, but do what you love,” Milo Gibson told The Hollywood Reporter.

“And I did that. I had a lot of different jobs but they weren’t things that I wanted to do for the rest of my life. And I have a really big passion for acting and I really love doing it.”

Milo had his first significant role in his dad’s movie, Hacksaw Ridge, in 2016, where he starred alongside Andrew Garfield. Working with his dad was an incredible experience, according to the young actor. “It was nice to see him behind the camera. I learned that you have to be comfortable taking risks and then stick with them; one of the keys in acting is to be vulnerable.”

In 2017, Milo starred in The Tribes of Paolos Verde, and a year later, he was part of All the Devil’s Men and Breaking & Exiting.

In the 2021 action thriller Dangerous, he starred alongside Scott Eastwood, a role that further cemented his status as a raising action star.

Milo is a good looking young man who inherited his dad’s charm and talent, so it’s safe to say that we will be seeing more of him in the years to come. Speaking of the uncanny resemblance with the Mad Max star, Milo told The Australian, “Sometimes people go, ‘Hey, you look like Mel Gibson!’ And I go, ‘F**k, I wish!’”

Earth will be cast into darkness for six minutes during a rare event not seen in a century

By

Monica Pop

-

August 2, 2027, will witness one of the rarest celestial phenomena, occurring only once in a hundred years. The moon will completely block the sun, resulting in the land being cast with shadows when there ought to be sunlight. This phenomenon is known as a total solar eclipse.

The darkest part of this shadow is known as “totality.” According to Space, the totality of this solar eclipse is going to be six minutes and 23 seconds. This will make it the longest since the one that occurred in 1991.

This total solar eclipse is known as the “Great North African Eclipse.” This means it would be best seen at those parts of the world, more precisely from Luxor, Egypt, where the totality will be visible for the longest period of time.

While Luxor is going to be the best place to see it in the globe, if you are not able to witness it from there, it may still be seen from a number of locations in North Africa and some regions of Southern Europe, including Gibraltar.

In case of crystal-clear skies, tens of millions of people living within the eclipse’s line of totality will be able to enjoy it in its full glory.

If in Europe, some great options for viewing the eclipse would be Southern Spain, especially Tarifa and Cadiz. These places will offer totality durations of up to 4 minutes and 39 seconds. Gibraltar will also offer an interesting spot to view the eclipse as it first reaches land. However, the event will be shorter there.

For those of you wondering why this total solar eclipse will be longer than what people have witnessed throughout the centuries is a rare alignment between Earth, the Moon and the Sun.

According to experts, another such total eclipse — after the one in 2027 — will happen in 2114.

Father of 9-year-old Melina Frattolin faces charges as new details surface in her death

By

Monica Pop

-

Melina Frattolin, 9, was found dead in Upstate New York on July 20 after her father, Luciano Frattolin, 45, reported she had been abducted by two men in a white van.

Following his report, authorities issued AMBER alert, but soon after, they realized that the father fabricated the story.

“Mr. Frattolin reported that he had stopped in a parking lot near Exit 22 on I-87 in Lake George to urinate,” New York State Police Capt. Robert McConnell told reporters on Monday at a briefing. “He initially said he walked away from his vehicle, and when he returned, his child was gone. He reported a suspicious white vehicle near the scene, in addition to two men in the vehicle. This theory was thoroughly investigated and refuted.”

Melina’s body was located in the shallow portion of a pond in upstate New York near the town of Ticonderoga on Sunday, hours after her father reported she had allegedly been abducted, The Mail reported.

Luciano was since arrested for the killing of his own daughter and taken to Ticonderoga Town Court on Monday, where he pleaded not guilty to murdering Melina.

Authorities believe he did the horrific crime while traveling back home to Montreal, Canada, from New York where they were on vacation. He is now facing charges of second-degree murder and concealment of a corpse.

Luciano and Melina’s mother had been estranged since 2019 and she had a full custody of their daughter.

He is the founder of an organic coffee brand called Gambella.

“Luciano Frattolin is an experienced entrepreneur with a proven track record of building diverse, high-performance businesses,” according to the company’s website.

“With a background in the humanities and social sciences, his formal education, together with his pragmatic understanding about the complexities of life, motivates him to maintain an understanding of the world grounded in a distinct cross-cultural ethos.

“The son of an Ethiopian mother and an Italian father, Luciano was born in the small, remote village of Gambella.

“With a childhood spent running between rows of crimson coffee buds on the Ethiopian family plantation, and the neoclassical architecture of his father’s Milano, his vision of the world and his pursuits within, reflect these hyphenated cultures.”

Melina Galanis Frattolin/ New York State Police

Luciano told the court he couldn’t afford a lawyer despite his social media showing him leading a luxurious lifestyle, traveling abroad, and driving expensive cars.

According to The New York Post, the motives behind the alleged killing of 9-year-old Melina haven’t been determined yet, but according to Montreal news agencies, Luciano struggled to pay child support and owed hundreds of thousands of dollars to creditors.

On his company’s website, he referred to his daughter as to “the light of his life” and his “inspiration.”

Little boy cries at gate—k9 dog senses something no one else does

By

Monica Pop

-

It was a quiet Sunday morning when Officer Janet and her K9 partner, Max, pulled to the airport for a routine walk-through.

They didn’t expect to encounter any critical situations as the day had just begun.

There weren’t many people around, but then, out of the blue, officer Janet and her K9 heard a boy crying.

When she looked around, she spotted a little child, no more than five years old, standing at the gate, confused and afraid.

It wasn’t a sight she hoped to see so Janet knew the little one was in some sort of trouble even before she approached him.

“Hey, sweetie, are you okay?” she asked him.

At first, the boy refused to answer. And then, he whispered something in a voice so soft and quiet that she couldn’t understand what he was trying to tell her.

What was clear was that the boy was there all by himself, with no adult in sight.

Max, trained in search and rescue, stood alert. The truth was that he wasn’t good around children, but this time, he started circulating around the boy before he pressed his nose against the boy’s hand.

Max could sense something wasn’t right. He knew the boy was disturbed and tried to calm him down by sitting beside him and nudging him with his snout.

It wasn’t long before Max started barking as though he was trying to tell his partner to force the child to speak.

“Sweety, you can tell me what bother’s you. My pal Max and I are here to help you,” Janet said gently.

The boy started crying even louder than before and said, “My mom wouldn’t wake up. I was calling her name, but she just wouldn’t wake up.”

Officer Janet begged the boy to lead her to his home, asking if he knew where he lived.

The boy nodded and started walking, with Janet and Max following him. In the meantime, she radioed for backup, reporting a possible emergency.

When the three finally got to the boy’s house, which wasn’t far, they found his mom unconscious in her bed. Luckily, she was still breathing, although barely.

Medics arrived just in time to administer aid. They said that a delay in merely minutes might have cost the woman her life.

It turned out that she had suffered a diabetic episode in her sleep.

While Janet believed the boy was lost, Max knew there was more to the story. He sensed the urgency and recognized the signs of panic that led to a life being saved that day.

Kat Timpf takes break from Gutfeld! for more surgery while pushing back against internet trolls

By

Monica Pop

-

Kat Timpf announced she was taking a break from Gutfeld! as she’s about to undergo another surgery related to her breast cancer treatment.

The Fox News personality announced earlier this year that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. The news came during a time which was supposed to be the happiest of her life — her pregnancy.

“I’m lucky that we found the cancer so early; I’m lucky to be my son’s mom,” she announced on Instagram in February.

“I mean, I know I’m biased, but the little dude absolutely rules — and not just because he might have saved my life.”

Since then, she had underwent a double mastectomy and returned to television in May, joining Greg Gutfeld on the Fox Nation show, What Did I Miss, The Sun reported.

Now, Timpf will be off TV for a couple more weeks due to another surgery.

“The best case scenario of breast cancer can involve quite a road to feeling whole again, so this is the first step in that,” she posted on her social media, and added: “Just so the internet can’t come up with theories about where I am, that’s where I am.”

Timpf also expressed her gratitude to everyone who sent her well-wishes. “Huge thanks to those of you who have taken the time to offer me words of kindness and support. I love you all so much,” she wrote.

I’ll be back on @Gutfeldfox in a few weeks! Huge thanks to those of you who have taken the time to offer me words of kindness and support. I love u all so much ❤️🍈😎 pic.twitter.com/ofo1FRgG2j

— Kat Timpf (@KatTimpf) July 15, 2025

While she received words of encouragement by her fellow colleagues and many of her fans for speaking publicly of her cancer, some internet trolls cast doubt on her parenting abilities and diagnosis, forcing Timpf to defend herself. “I swear I know more about my case than people online,” she posted back in March.

Also, some criticized her for attending Coachella, her first public outing since giving birth to her son.

“One fun thing I’ve noticed about being a mom is if you ever post with your baby, or God forbid, having fun without your baby, people are like ‘Oh my God, where’s her baby? She’s a mother. Should a mother be acting like this? Grow up!'” she posted on her social media accounts in April.

“I’ve only been a mom for a couple of months, but I’m starting to think that the only way to be a parent and avoid backlash is to be a dad.”

Mother and teen daughter discovered dead after emergency call went unanswered for four months

By

Monica Pop

-

Almost four months after 47-year-old Alphonsine Djiako Leuga called an ambulance that never came, she and her 18-year-old daughter Loraine Choulla were found dead at their family home in Radford, Nottingham.

The bodies were only discovered after a neighbor realized the windows of their home had been opened since February and alerted the police of his suspicions that something could be wrong with the mother and daughter.

Leuga made the 999 call on February 2, 2024, and authorities found her and her daughter’s dead bodies on May 21, 2024.

The desperate mother, who had sickle cell anaemia according to details shared at a hearing held by Nottingham Coroner’s Court, said she was cold and couldn’t move. She was asking for help for both her and her daughter who had Down Syndrome and learning disabilities. The daughter was entirely dependent on her mother.

According to the investigation regarding the passing of the mother and daughter, it is believed that Leuga passed away shortly after the emergency call was made, while Choulla died on February 28.

During the call, Leuga was able to provide details of her identity and place of stay, yet the dispatchers marked it an “abandoned call” and never sent help.

Detective Con Jack Cook of the Nottinghamshire Police said, “Loraine had been left in the premises alone and had been alive until her device had lost charge.”

During the hearing, Dr. Stuart Hamilton, the pathologist, was asked whether hunger or dehydration could have contributed to the child’s death. He replied, “There is nothing in my findings that say any of that is incorrect.”

According to East Midlands Ambulance Service’s head of patient safety, Susan Jevons, attempts had been made to call Leuga back.

She told the inquest: “The call should have been left for an ambulance to attend once we had got the address, which we had.

“The ambulance didn’t go to the address because the emergency medical adviser, thinking it was an abandoned call, closed the call down.

“So it wasn’t visible to anybody within the emergency operations centre.”

Loraine Choulla and Alphonsine Djiako Leuga

The coroner told Jevons she must weigh the possibility that sending an ambulance might have saved the girl’s life.

Asked whether there had been a “missed opportunity,” Jevons answered, “Yes, there was a missed opportunity for an ambulance to attend Alphonsine when she requested one.”

It has been revealed that in late January 2024, days prior to the tragic incident, Leuga was admitted to hospital for a blood transfusion due to low iron levels. She only stayed at the hospital for two days before being granted a “pragmatic” discharge because she needed to return home to her daughter, according to People.

The pathologist’s report stated Leuga’s cause of death as pneumonia of uncertain cause. Her daughter’s cause of death couldn’t be established.

The emergency 911 call made during the final moments of his life revealed medics being dispatched to Hogan’s Clearwater, Florida home early Thursday morning, with the operator stating it was regarding “cardiac arrest,” TMZ reported.

Paramedics spent 30 minutes performing CPR on Hogan before transporting him to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.

According to TMZ, the wrestling legend was stretchered out and loaded into an ambulance after a “slew of police cars and EMTs were parked outside Hogan’s home.”

Hogan’s passing was confirmed by his attorney, Linda Bose.

“Unfortunately we must confirm that Terry Bollea, aka Hulk Hogan passed away this morning,” she said.

“We are heartbroken. He was such a great human being and friend.”

The official cause of death hasn’t been revealed yet, but no foul play is suspected, the police said in a press conference.

Rumors are that Hulk Hogan experienced health issues before his passing, especially during the last couple of weeks of his life. A source close to the late star revealed to the Daily Mail that he experienced shortness of breath, was on oxygen, and lost a lot of weight. It was also reported that Hogan had undergone a neck surgery earlier this year.

His wife, Sky, said he had been recovering from a major four-level Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF), which she described as “an intense surgery with a long and layered healing process,” but denied rumors that he was on his deathbed in a coma after the routine neck surgery.

In the past, Hogan discussed about having “25 surgeries in the last ten years.”

Speaking on Jake Paul’s IMPAULSIVE podcast last year, he said, “Ten of them were back surgeries. I’ve had both knees and hips replaced, shoulders—everything.”

The WWE posted a tribute following the news of his death. “WWE is saddened to learn WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan has passed away,” they wrote on X, adding they remember Hogan’s major influence in the 1980s and crediting him with helping WWE reach global fame.

11 heartbreaking signs your dog might be nearing end—and how to comfort them with love

By

Monica Pop

-

Everyone who has ever owned a dog will agree that these amazing creatures make our world more beautiful. Yes, we humans are very blessed these animals are part of our life. Their commitment and loyalty can’t be compared to any other.

Not only dogs make awesome pets, but they serve people in ways unimaginable. They help veterans who suffer from PTSD, serve as guide dogs for the disabled, and are part of the police departments.

Sadly, their life span is way shorter than ours, so we often face the painful task of letting them go far too soon.

When a dog is nearing the end, certain signs can reveal the difficult truth.

1. Decreased Energy and Interest in Activities

When a dog starts losing interest in playtime or daily walks, it might mean their body is getting tired from old age or a disease. If your once playful four-legged companion rests more than usual, it could be a sign something isn’t right.

2. Behavioral Changes and Mood Swings

As dogs near the end, they might act differently, like clinging to you more than usual, withdraw, or seek isolation. In their last days, they may also show signs of confusion and disorientation.

3. Difficulty with Bodily Functions

Struggling with accidents or incontinence may result from fading muscle strength or organ decline.

4. Loss of Appetite and Thirst

Most dogs get excited when it’s time to munch on their favorite food, but when their appetite decreases during their final days, it leads to weight loss, malnutrition, and dehydration. The loss of appetite affects the dog’s general well-being.

5. Increased Fatigue and Extended Sleeping

If your dog is sleeping most of the time and shows no interest in the surrounding may be their quiet way of letting go. Such fatigue is typical in dogs experiencing advanced age or illness

6. Digestive Issues and Vomiting

Frequent vomiting, diarrhea, or signs of nausea may indicate serious internal issues with your canine.

However, while occasional digestive issues are not unusual, if persistent, they indicate serious issues.

7. Labored or Irregular Breathing

Labored breathing, persistent coughing, or heavy panting may be caused by fluid in the lungs or other serious health issues. Any changes of this kind should be discussed with a veterinarian.

8. Changes in Gum Color

If the otherwise pink gums of your dog become pale, blue, or greyish, it may point to oxygen deprivation, anemia, or circulatory problems. These are all symptoms of declining health.

9. Seizures or Tremors

Watching your dog have a seizure or shake uncontrollably can be terrifying. These symptoms may signal a serious problem, so don’t wait but seek immediate help from a vet.

10. Unusual Odors or Skin Changes

Changes like unusual smells, skin irritations, or a rough coat are signs of underlying issues with your dog. As they near their life, dogs may also develop lumps or sores.

11. Disinterest in Favorite Activities

Losing interest in favorite toys or interactions can be a sign your dog is preparing to say goodbye, both emotionally and physically.

Recognizing these signs can help you make informed choices about your dog’s care. Cherish the time remaining with your devoted companion, honoring the bond by ensuring their final days are marked by love and compassion.

Why HR exec Kristin Cabot hasn’t been fired after Coldplay cheating scandal

By

Kristin Cabot, HR exec of US data company Astronomer who found herself in the midst of an alleged cheating scandal at the Coldplay concert last week after she and the company’s CEO Andy Byron were captured on the jumbotron in an embrace, remains on leave.

The moment they spotted themselves on the big screen, Cabot hid her face with her hands, while Byron ducked down of sight. Their reaction prompted frontman Chris Martin to say jokingly, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re very shy.” The crowd started laughing, and the video of Cabot and Byron’s reaction went viral in a matter of minutes after a video from the embarrassing moment was shared on the social media.

According to their social media posts, it appears that both Byron and Cabot are married to other people, which only added a layer to the scandal.

@instaagraace trouble in paradise?? 👀 #coldplay #boston #coldplayconcert #kisscam #fyp ♬ original sound – grace

Following the scandal, both Byron and Cabot were placed on administrative leave pending an internal investigation into their relationship and potential breaches of company policies. Later, Byron resigned from the position of CEO, according to a statement shared by the billion dollar tech company.

On their LinkedIn profile, they wrote, “Andy Byron has tendered his resignation, and the Board of Directors has accepted. The Board will begin a search for our next Chief Executive as Cofounder and Chief Product Officer Pete DeJoy continues to serve as interim CEO.

“Before this week, we were known as a pioneer in the DataOps space, helping data teams power everything from modern analytics to production AI.

“While awareness of our company may have changed overnight, our product and our work for our customers have not. We’re continuing to do what we do best: helping our customers with their toughest data and AI problems.”

Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability.

Now, many are questioning why Cabot hasn’t been fired from her position, and according to attorney Nicole Brenecki, her exit from the company may be much more complicated than that of Byron.

Speaking to the New York Post, Brenecki said, “In a real-world big company, you can’t just fire someone because the headlines are ugly.

“There are likely contracts, internal investigations, and legal issues involved.

“If HR greenlit what happened with Coldplay, and there is a supporting paper trail, heads will likely roll. It just might take a few more days before the axe drops.”

Kristin Cabot remains listed as HR chief on Astronomer’s website.

Cabot took the job at Astronomer in November 2024.

The company’s co-founder, Pete DeJoy, said in a LinkedIn post that the immense attention “has been unusual and surreal for Astronomer workers.

“While I would never have wished for it to happen like this, Astronomer is now a household name.”

He added: “The events of the past few days have received a level of media attention that few companies — let alone startups in our small corner of the data and AI world — ever encounter.”

According to William Cafaro, an employment attorney, firing Cabot would be straightforward, but he suspects she and the company may be negotiating the terms of her departure.

“Like if you were to look for a picture of ’cause’ [for firing] in the dictionary, it would show a picture of the head of HR having a public affair with the CEO of the company,” he told The Post.

Bizarre theories about people who have ‘never broken a bone’

By

Monica Pop

-

The rise of the social media led to plenty of trends, especially among the younger population. Recently, a so called “Never Broke a Bone” theory has flooded one of the most popular and most used social media app, TikTok.

This theory, that has gone viral, explains why some people never broke a bone in their life, and some of the reasons users provide are crazy.

The trend started in December 2024, when TikTok user @obviously_makenzie posted a selfie video captioned, “I just found out what it means if you never broken a bone and it makes so much sense I can’t stop crying.” In no time, the video received thousands of reactions and comments with a number of people resonating deeply with the concept.

@kashdollkenz
Turns out never breaking a bone isn’t so fun after all.

♬ Haunt me x 3 by Teen Sooicide – ✩ love u ✩

Another TikTok video explaining the actual meaning of the theory of never breaking a bone has also gone viral gathering five million views in just five days.

In it, user @becomingmemo interprets the spiritual reason why some people have never broken a bone in their life. According to him, these people were born to face many mental burdens and emotions, as well as difficulties and traumas in the physical world, so their guardian angels protect their bones and bodies.

@becomingmemo It makes so much sense! #spiritualmeaning #spirituality ♬ Witchcraft – Perfect, so dystopian

One TikTok user alluded to a Bible verse as the origin of the theory.

Namely, Psalm 34:19-20 says, “The righteous person may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all; he protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken.”

@ellafaithhh
I am blessed with my guardian angels❤️

♬ Haunt me x 3 by Teen Sooicide – ✩ love u ✩

Another user wrote: “mfs when they realise that the ‘never broke a bone’ theory is actually so scary like something is behind you EVERY DAY,” suggesting that the idea of a spirit constantly protecting you is frightening.

It’s interesting that a bunch of these videos discussing the “Never broke a bone” theory are spreading on the social media like a wildfire.

Scientists on the other hand believe that not breaking a bone might be due to genetics, good luck, and good nutrition rather than supernatural forces.

Obama breaks silence with rare statement after Trump levels ‘treason’ accusations

By

Monica Pop

-

Following Trump’s accusations of Obama trying to rig the 2016 and 2020 elections, the former president finally broke his silence, denouncing Trump’s claims as “a weak attempt at distraction.”

“Out of respect for the office of the presidency, our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response,” Obama spokesperson Patrick Rodenbush said. “But these claims are outrageous enough to merit one.”

Also, the statement rejected the contents of an 11-page report by Tulsi Gabbard, who accused Obama administration officials of engaging in a ‘treasonous conspiracy’ and called for their prosecution.

“Nothing in the document issued last week undercuts the widely accepted conclusion that Russia worked to influence the 2016 presidential election but did not successfully manipulate any votes,” Rodenbush said.

“These findings were affirmed in a 2020 report by the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee, led by then-Chairman Marco Rubio.”

Trump delivered the claims from the Oval Office during a July 22 meeting with Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., while addressing reporters and facing questions about disgraced sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who died by suicide while awaiting trial in federal custody.

The president dodged the questions and shifted the conversation to Obama.

“The witch hunt that you should be talking about is they caught President Obama absolutely cold,” Trump told reporters.

“It’s time to go after people, Obama’s been caught directly,” he added.

“It’s there, he’s guilty. This was treason,” Trump claimed of Obama. “They tried to steal the election, they tried to obfuscate the election. They did things that nobody’s ever imagined, even in other countries.”

Not only Barack Obama, but also Trump supporters believe the president is redirecting attention away from himself after US Attorney General Pam Bondi shut down the release of more Epstein files and denied the existence of a client list. The decision prompted concern among MAGA supporters, with the Epstein files becoming a key topic at Turning Point USA’s Student Action Summit.

20-year-old royal cousin of Princes William and Harry found dead at home

By

Rosie Roche, Princess Diana’s uncle’s granddaughter, was found dead at her family home on July 14.

The 20-year-old cousin of Prince William and Prince Harry was found dead at the property in Norton, Wiltshire, by her mother, Pippa, and her sister, Agatha.

According to The Sun, there was a firearm next to her body.

An inquest had been opened into her death, with proceedings halted until October 25. Coroner Grant Davies revealed that police “have deemed the death as non-suspicious and there was no third-party involvement.”

He has since revealed the exact cause of death, stating that the young woman died from a gunshot wound to her head.

“Rosie was getting ready to go away with friends and was packing her belongings at home,” Davies said at the start of her inquest on Sunday, as reported by The Times.

“Philippa, her mum, and Agatha, her sister, were outside and then they returned inside the home address.

“Upon checking the office in the house, Agatha found Rosie deceased and she was slumped over a firearm with significant head trauma.

“The ambulance attended and confirmed the death at 1.22pm that day.” Coroner Davies added: “A post-mortem was carried out by Dr Harry Haynes from Great Western Hospital.” He stated that “blood and urine has been sent for toxicological analysis.”

Rosie was a first-year student at Durham University, pursuing a degree in English Literature.

Her family paid their tribute in statement. “Darling daughter of Hugh and Pippa, incredible sister to Archie and Agatha, Granddaughter to Derek and Rae Long,” it read.

Professor Wendy Powers, Principal of Durham’s University College, said Rosie, “loved for her creativity, energy, her love of books, poetry and travel among many other talents,” will be “sorely missed.”

“Our thoughts and condolences are with Rosie’s family and friends, and we are offering support to those affected at this extremely difficult time,” Professor Powers said.

Ozzy Osbourne’s sisters reveal his heartbreaking final text before death

By

Monica Pop

The sudden passing of Ozzy Osbourne marked the end of an era as the world lost a heavy metal icon.

‘The Prince of Darkness’ passed away Thursday in his Buckinghamshire home, just weeks before he had his last-ever life performance in front of a huge crowd of fans along with the rest of the members of Black Sabbath.

Ozzy Osbourne’s sisters, Jean Powell, 85, and Gillian Hemming, 80, revealed the late singer’s final message in which he told them he “couldn’t wait to come back” to Birmingham for his final gig.

They said “our John” was emotional because of the huge number of people who showed up to see him and his bandmates as they drove down Lodge Road in Birmingham, close to where his family once lived.

The Osbourne sisters Left to Right; Iris, Gillian and Jean/ Daily Mirror

Speaking to Mirror, Jean revealed she ‘broke down’ at the stadium when she saw the crowds eagerly waiting to see her brother perform.

“We saw him in Birmingham the other week when he and the rest of the band were given the freedom of the city,” Jean told the publication.

“It was upsetting because he could not stand up straight, but he was still our John, still cracking the jokes.”

Although she didn’t get the chance to chat with him much, he did sent her a message. “I got a text off him as he drove down Lodge Road, where we used to live near the stadium,” Jean said.

When they got a call about his sudden passing, Ozzy Osbourne’s sisters were devastated.

“To us he was our brother, not a celebrity, so it’s crazy to see the outpouring of love since his death was announced.

“We just can’t believe he is gone and we won’t be getting another phone call or text from him. Every week without fail he would get in touch, either by phone or text, to ask how we were all doing and what was going on.”

Jean added: “He was frail but it still came as a shock. He still had plans and things he wanted to do. We don’t know the details of his death, it’s still too early. It’s just so sad. I’m just thankful he died in England.”

The loss of the music titan was announced by his wife and children.

“It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love,” they said in a statement. “We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.”

Two days before his death, Ozzy, who was battling Parkinson’s Disease since 2003, could be seen in good spirits in a video his daughter Kelly Osbourne shared on the social media. The family was seen having breakfast together and Ozzy waved to the camera.

According to the Mail Online, emergency services were alerted at around 10:30am on July 22, with Thames Valley Air Ambulance dispatching their helicopter from RAF Benson in Oxfordshire, some 27 miles away from the family’s home.

‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’ to end after decade-long run — leaving fans fuming

By

Monica Pop

-

CBS announced Tuesday they are ending The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and are retiring The Late Show franchise in May 2026 due to “purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night.”

Dubbing the host of the show program “irreplaceable,” CBS added the decision was “not related in any way to the show’s performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount,” CBS’ parent company.

“We are proud that Stephen called CBS home,” the network said in a statement. “He and the broadcast will be remembered in the pantheon of greats that graced late night television.”

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by The Late Show (@colbertlateshow)

The news of the show’s fate was shared by Colbert himself who told the audience during Thursday’s taping that he had found out the previous night that next year will be the show’s final season.

“It’s not just the end of our show, but it’s the end of ‘The Late Show’ on CBS,” he said. “I’m not being replaced. This is all just going away. And I do want to say … that the folks at CBS have been great partners. I’m so grateful to the Tiffany Network for giving me this chair and this beautiful theater to call home. And of course I’m grateful to you, the audience, who have joined us every night.”

He went on thanking the show’s band and added he’s “extraordinarily, deeply grateful to the 200 people who work here.”

“I’ve had the pleasure and the responsibility of sharing what we do every day with you in front of this camera for the last 10 years,” he said. “It is a fantastic job. I wish somebody else was getting it. It’s a job that I’m looking forward to doing with this usual gang of idiots for another 10 months.”

Colbert took over the programme from David Letterman ten years ago, becoming one of most vocal Trump’s critics on late night TV. Previously, he hosted The Colbert Report on Comedy Central from 2005 until 2014.

The moment the audience learned the show is ending after a decade of Colbert hosting it, they booed.

Fans took to the social media to share their disappointment. “Stephen Colbert deserves better!” one person wrote on X. “I’m absolutely not ready to NOT have Stephen Colbert on my TV at night,” another fan added, while third wrote, “CBS letting Stephen Colbert go is BS! Boycott CBS.”

Some believe that the real reason behind the abrupt decision to cancel the show has to do with Colbert’s criticism of President Donald Trump during a time when Paramount Global is merging with Skydance Media, a move that needs approval from the Federal Communications Commission, reports The Mirror.

Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren wrote, “CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery. America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.”

Democratic California Sen. Adam Schiff shared similar thoughts on X, writing, “Just finished taping with Stephen Colbert who announced his show was cancelled. If Paramount and CBS ended the Late Show for political reasons, the public deserves to know. And deserves better.”

The homeless man who saved a kitten – and how it changed three lives forever

By

Monica Pop

-

While on the train, I noticed a man with worn out clothes holding a sleeping kitten. It looked like he was a homeless man, or like someone tired by the life challenges that stood on his way. When our eyes crossed I asked him if the kitten was his. He smiled and said, “No, she found me.” He then explained that he had found her three nights ago, shivering and meowing in a dark alley.

Although he didn’t have much, he shared his last bite with the desperate animal. He then wrapped her in the only scarf he had and decided to keep her warm just for the night. But that was third night in a row that he cared for the little kitten. The man said he was bringing her “to a better place” and showed me a note he found on a bench near the alley where he found the kitten. It read, “She answers to ‘Mina.’ Please don’t abandon her. If you find her, bring her home.” The note was signed, “Her little girl.”

That note touched me deeply.

I realized the man was travelling back to the alley for three days straight in an attempt to find Mina’s owner who was obviously very worried for her pet. But to no avail.

Not having much, he could have abandoned the kitten. But instead, he decided to keep it until she could return home, safe and sound.

This man had a heart of gold, yet, he was homeless and alone.

“You know what?” I said, “I’ll help you track Mina’s owner.”

That evening, I offered him to stay at my guest house. It was the least I could do for someone as kind as he was. The following morning, I helped him in the search, and it didn’t take long before we found the little girl who was eagerly waiting for her kitten to get back home.

However, although “our” mission was complete, I knew I could do more for him, so I called some friends and we were able to find him a place to stay. In the days to come, the man, who was not homeless any longer, landed a job. The salary wasn’t much, but my friends and I, as well as Mina’s owners, were willing to step in and help him with the rent until he could stand on his feet again.

Who could believe that finding a little kitten would trigger events that would change one man’s life for the better?

This story is a reminder that the kindness we give, even to animals, goes a long way.

Little girl walks into police dog auction alone — what followed brought everyone to tears

By

Monica Pop

-

When Lily Parker got to the Willow Creek county fair, she felt completely lost. In her tiny hand, she had all her saving — $52.16. She had no idea if that money would be enough for her dream of getting one special German Shepherd who was about to be sold at the auction.

The truth was that the dog wasn’t an ordinary one, it was a K9 that worked alongside the girl’s late mother, Officer Hannah Parker, who was killed in the line of duty some months prior.

That German Shepherd, Max, meant the world to little Lily because he was someone who had known her late mother all too well, and there was no one who would take greater care of him than Lily herself.

Sadly, the bids climbed past $3,000, which was well above what Lily had in her jar. Still, she decided to place a bid, even as those around her chuckled. The auctioneer looked at her and said, “Girl, this isn’t enough, and you know it.” The truth was, no one knew how much Max meant to Lily. To everyone else, he was just another dog—but to her, he was a memory of her mother that she desperately wanted to hold on to.

As Lily lost hope of ever having her late mom’s dog by her side, Max spotted her and started barking. At one point, he managed to break loose and ran straight to her. At that moment, all eyes were on Max and Lily. It was obvious the two knew each other since their connection was undeniable.

Lily started crying tears of joy, and once everyone in the room learned the story about Max and Officer Hannah, they all agreed to withdraw their bids, allowing Lily to take Max home, the only place where he truly belonged.

That evening, Max’s excitement turned into unease. He acted as though there was something he wanted Lily and her dad to notice. They watched him pace back and forth by the door, his ears perked.

“What has gotten into him?” Lily’s dad asked. “I don’t know, dad.”

When they opened the door, Max ran straight towards the garden shed and started scratching at the door until Lily’s dad opened it. Inside, they found a stack of papers scattered across the floor — documents, photos, and notes Hannah had been collecting. Those were evidence for a case she had been working on. It involved names of people Lily’s dad had never heard of.

In the morning, he gathered all those papers and took them to the police station.

The case of Officer Hanna’s death was reopened. With the new evidence in hand, the police began a fresh investigation, uncovering leads that had long been ignored. Officer Hannah’s death wasn’t just a random act of violence, and the police was about to prove that.

Lily and Max’s story is one of devotion, loyalty, and hope.

Shocking claims from Area 51: Man’s DNA ‘permanently altered’ and others killed by ‘invisible enemy’

By

Monica Pop

-

US Air Force veterans working at Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR), known as the secretive Area 51, revealed shocking details about members of the staff dying and suffering from the same deadly illness after being exposed to radiation during “top secret” projects.

Area 51 has been the subject of numerous speculations over the years, with people reporting seeing aliens and UFOs next to the site that has been closed for years. There have also been conspiracy theories about alien equipment being kept there.

Former Air Force Sergeant David Crete, who worked at the base between 1983 and 1987, claims an “invisible enemy” was responsible for the deaths of more than 490 people at Area 51. He and other former colleagues of his believe the government handed them a death sentence without their knowledge by letting them work in an area contaminated with radiation from years of nuclear testing.

An aerial view of Nevada Test and Training Range/ 2016 Digitalglobe

Crete opened up about his health during testimony before the House Veterans Affairs Committee in April, stating that the toll on both his own health and that of his colleagues has been devastating.

“I have brain atrophy. The left side of my brain is shrinking and dying. That’s not too bad. I’m one of the healthy ones,” he said.

Crete added that his time at the base ‘permanently altered’ his DNA.

“My wife had three miscarriages. One of the guys that I worked with, his wife had seven. All four of my children were born with birth defects or significant health problems.

“It’s not their fault. I’m not saying it’s mine, but I brought it home. It was my DNA that was permanently altered from low-dose, long-term, ionizing radiation exposure.”

Despite concerns about radiation risks at the NTTR, a government report stated that halting the projects would “be against the national interests.”

Veterans, however, have no proof of the exposure to radiation because of the classified nature of their missions. Since their records have been “data masked,” the bill signed in 2000 by then-President Bill Clinton providing benefits and medical help to workers exposed to radiation and toxins at federal facilities doesn’t apply to them.

Crete, along with other veterans, ask the same healthcare rules to apply to those who worked at Area 51.

Dave Crete/ The House Veterans Affairs Committee

Two bills — the Protect Act and the Forgotten Veterans Act — have been introduced in Congress to provide more support to NTTR veterans.

According to Crete, the only acknowledgment for their service came from the late US Senator John McCain who was allegedly aware of what was truly happening at NTTR. “He came up to me and he said, ‘Your unit ended the Cold War.’ If you ever wanted validation that what you did was important, that’s just about it,” Crete recalled.

Ozzy Osbourne dies aged 76 just weeks after farewell show

By

Ozzy Osbourne, the frontman of heavy metal band Black Sabbath, has died in the UK at the age of 76. His family confirmed his sudden passing in a statement in which they said, “It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning.

“He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis.”

Less than three weeks ago, ‘The Prince of Darkness’ reunited with his original Black Sabbath bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward for the first time since 2005 for a farewell concert in his home city of Birmingham. He performed from a throne on stage at Villa Park.

“You’ve no idea how I feel – thank you from the bottom of my heart,” Ozzy told the crowd at what would be his last-ever performance.

Black Sabbath posted a photo of Osbourne from the gig with the caption: “Ozzy Forever!”

Ozzy Forever! pic.twitter.com/aJKVOCnJiI

Ronnie Wood, of The Rolling Stones, wrote: “I am so very sad to hear of the death of Ozzy Osbourne. What a lovely goodbye concert he had at Back To The Beginning in Birmingham.”

Sir Elton John described his “dear friend” as a “huge trailblazer” who “secured his place in the pantheon of rock gods. He was also one of the funniest people I’ve ever met. I will miss him dearly. To Sharon and the family, I send my condolences and love. Elton xx.”

Musician Gene Simmons added: “Sad to report Ozzy has passed away. He was a giant. Admired and loved by millions of fans worldwide. Prayers and condolences go out to the Osbourne family.”

Queen’s Brian May, Metallica, and Yungblud were among those who paid their tributes to the iconic musician.

A post shared by YUNGBLUD (@yungblud)

During the last couple of years of his life, Ozzy suffered several medical conditions and was forced to undergo several surgeries. Ever since his quad-bike accident in 2003, everything went downfall for him. Later, in 2019, he suffered yet another life-threatening fall when he fell in his bathroom and dislodged metal screws in his spine. 2020 was the year when the musician was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease and that only added to the health issues he experienced.

Despite his health struggles, Ozzy remained as energetic as ever.

Ozzy was born John Michael Osbourne on 3 December 1948 in Aston, Birmingham.

He and his band, which he was fired from back in 1979 due to alcohol and drug problems, were highly influential on the development of heavy metal music.

Ozzy was honored with inductions into both the UK and US Rock and Roll Halls of Fame, for his work with Black Sabbath and as a solo artist. He also earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and another on Birmingham’s Broad Street, received an Ivor Novello Award, and won five Grammy Awards from 12 nominations.

Rest in peace, Ozzy Osbourne.

Trump under fire for posting fake AI video of Obama being arrested

By

Monica Pop

-

Donald Trump received backlash after posting an AI generated video of Former President Barack Obama being arrested by FBI agents inside the Oval Office.

The controversial clip that he shared on Truth Social showing Obama in handcuffs didn’t come with any disclaimer that it’s artificial or fictional. It was captioned “No one is above the law,” with The Village People’s Y.M.C.A. — which Trump often uses during his rallies —playing in the background.

Before the arrest happens, Obama is seen sitting opposite Trump in the Oval Office — a footage from November 2016 when the Trump was president-elect and Obama about to leave office.

The clip then shows Obama in a federal prison.

Trump’s move came shortly after Tulsi Gabbard, Director of National Intelligence, claimed Obama officials “manufactured intelligence” that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election. She announced she would be turning over evidence to the Justice Department for possible criminal referrals.

“Their goal was to subvert the will of the American people and enact what was essentially a years-long coup with the objective of trying to usurp the President from fulfilling the mandate bestowed upon him by the American people,” Gabbard said.

“Their egregious abuse of power and blatant rejection of our Constitution threatens the very foundation and integrity of our democratic republic,” Gabbard said in a statement accompanying the document release.

“No matter how powerful, every person involved in this conspiracy must be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, to ensure nothing like this ever happens again.”

Mark Warner, Senator of Virginia and a ranking member on the Senate Intelligence Committee, dubbed Gabbard’s accusations “one more example of the director of national intelligence trying to cook the books.”

This isn’t the first time the president has shared videos made using artificial intelligence. Many are convinced this last one involving Obama is just an attempt to shift the focus away from his past relationship with Epstein, the disgraced billionaire who killed himself while awaiting trial in federal prison.
