Pushing Barron Trump into politics is unfair

By

Whether you like him or not, the truth is that Donald Trump, the business mogul-turned-president, has changed American politics.

However, it isn’t just him who has been under the spotlight because of his position of a leader of the country, but his family too. During the campaign preceding his first presidency, the public could see all of his children supporting him publicly and being heavily involved in his candidacy efforts. This time, it wasn’t any different, although some of his children, including Ivanka, didn’t have an active role in the campaign.

Now that his youngest son, Barron Trump, isn’t a child any longer, many believe that his father is trying to push him into politics.

This is also something the MAGA supporters are hoping for.

The question that arises is, however, if that’s what the young Trump really wants.

During his father’s inauguration, Barron was spotted shaking hands with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and many agreed that he’s a well-behaved young man who seemed to be enjoying the presence of all the politicians and influential figures.

If he choses to follow into his father’s footsteps, he will certainly not be the only son of a president who has embarked on a journey in politics.

However, putting pressure on young Barron Trump to become a politician would only add to the expectations people have of him – If he does enter politics but doesn’t become president, he might still be seen as less successful than his father, or even a failure in some people’s eyes.

Barron has just started attending university.

He’s pursuing business at the Stern Business School at New York University.

Being the son of a famous name in the world of business and politics, Barron has lived in the shadow of his father, just like his siblings, so whether or not he chooses a career in politics should remain his personal choice.

Baby dies after being attacked by a family member’s dog

By
Monica Pop

Ember Renee Southard died in the worst way imaginable. She was only 6 months old and didn’t even get to learn how to speak or walk before a tragedy struck and cut her life short.

Baby Ember was attacked by a family member’s dog.

The dog owner was supposed to look after her while her mother was taking her grandmother’s to a doctor’s appointment.

The tragic incident occurred in Shelby County, on March 14, at around 10 a.m.

Ember’s mom, Anna, was planning to take her daughter with, but the family member told her they would take care of the little girl.

However, around less than 20 minutes later, Anna, who hadn’t even checked in at the doctor’s office, received a frantic call.

When she returned to the family member’s home, just after the ambulance had arrived, Anna noticed her daughter who appeared lifeless.

She fell to her knees in the driveway and learned her baby was attacked by the family member’s dog, an 11-year-old American Bully, a dog that has been around children plenty of times before and never hurt anyone until then.

GoFundMe

Ember was rushed to the hospital, and Anna prayed she survives, although all her hopes were shattered the moment she saw her daughter’s blue, unmoving body.

The little girl was taken to the operating room, and despite doctors’ attempt to save her, Ember passed away at 1:10.

At the time being, no arrests have been made.

The police revealed that at the time of the attack, there were two dogs in the home of the family member where Ember was staying. Both animals have been taken into a 10-day animal quarantine by animal control.

Speaking to WLFA, Anna revealed that the family member had fallen asleep with Ember in her embrace, but then the girl slipped off and the dog mauled her.

At the time Ember was taken to the hospital, the family member, who suffers from epilepsy, had a seizure.

My daughter was so sweet,” Anna recalled. “She had the sweetest smile, the cutest squeal. Ember was such a joy. Such a good baby. She always had a little smile and big beautiful eyes. She hated to be cold or wet. I can’t even describe the feeling of cleaning the blood off my daughter, of wrapping her body in warm blankets so that she wouldn’t be cold. Only me and my grandparents saw her first after she passed. I didn’t allow anyone else to see her until she was as clean and warm as she could be.”

GoFundMe

“Ember’s nickname was Noodle. Because as a newborn, she had little noodly toes, and the name just stuck. A wittle noodle. A perfect noodle. She was loved by so many people. Ember was an expert at smiling at you before spitting up on you. She had the sweetest voice. She had just learned how to roll over. There wasn’t a soul that met her that didn’t absolutely love her. She had wild blonde/red hair and big bright eyes. There was never a more perfect baby than my noodle.”

The devastated mom said she won’t be pressing charges.

However, she won’t ever forgive the family member for falling asleep while they needed to take care of her daughter.

“My daughter is gone forever because they couldn’t follow a simple [expletive] rule. I follow safe sleep rules to the letter, and I never allow my children around dogs like that. Always supervised with me holding them. I don’t believe charges should be continued, and I will not be actively pressing them. I think the punishment of knowing what their neglect did to my daughter will haunt them for the rest of their life, as it should. It was an accident. An avoidable accident, is still an accident.”

Anna urges parents not to take a risk and keep dogs away from infants so that a tragedy like this won’t happen to any other child ever again.

We are so very sorry for this loss.

Chaos in the skies: Heathrow Airport closes due massive fire

By
Monica Pop
-

Heathrow Airport in London, one of the greatest in the world, has been shut down following a devastating fire at the electrical substation supplying its power, triggering power outages. This caused chaos in the travel industry and affected hundreds of thousands of passengers.

According to authorities, the airport will remain closed at least for one day.

The London bound flights have been diverted to Amsterdam, Paris and Ireland.

London Fire Brigade / X

”Due to a fire at an electrical substation supplying the airport, Heathrow is experiencing a significant power outage. To maintain the safety of our passengers and colleagues, Heathrow will be closed until 23h59 on 21 March. Passengers are advised not to travel to the airport and should contact their airline for further information. We apologise for the inconvenience,” Heathrow Airport posted on their official X account.

Flight disruptions are expected to last for a couple of days.

The airport itself hasn’t been affected by the blaze. The National Grid facility, where the blaze started after a transformer containing 25,000 litres of cooling fluid caught on fire, is around two kilometers (1.2 miles) away from the airport.

According to Mirror, the London Fire Brigade received 212 calls from people reporting the fire. They engaged 70 firefighters to contain the blaze.

”This was a very visible and significant incident, and our firefighters worked tirelessly in challenging conditions to bring the fire under control as swiftly as possible,” assistant commissioner Pat Goulbourne said.

Heathrow Airport officials states that the airport has a backup power system in place but its activation takes time. As per the BBC, the back up systems “all operated as expected” when the power outage happened but they are not enough to run the whole airport.

In January only, Heathrow Airport broke the record by welcoming over 6.3 million passengers, which is 5% more compared to the same period last year.

Besides the flight disruptions, rail services to and from Heathrow have also been canceled for Friday, the National Rail reports.

At the time being, authorities are investigating how the fire started, with the counter terrorism police looking into possible sabotage.

Early signs of diabetes many fail to notice

By
Monica Pop
-

Diabetes is a condition that leads to person’s blood sugar levels to become too high. It happens when the body doesn’t produce enough insulin – a hormone that helps the body use glucose for energy and manage blood sugar levels – or the insulin it produces isn’t effective. This is known as type 1 diabetes.

At some individuals insulin may not be produced at all, which is a condition known as type 2 diabetes (T2D)

As per the Cleveland Clinic, over 37 million people in US only suffer from diabetes, which is 1 in 10 people, and around 90% to 95% of them have T2D.

The early signs of diabetes can be minor, which makes it hard to notice them.

However, it’s important to know that early diagnosis leads to better management and prevention.

Some of the signs of diabetes are:

Skin Tags

Skin tags are harmless growths that can appear on every part of the body, but are mostly found on the underarms, groin, neck, and eyelashes. One of the reasons of their appearance is T2D.

Small Bumps

Pexels

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

Fatigue

Pexels

Fatigue is a symptom of a wide range of diseases, disorders and deficiencies, including T2D. This is due to the medications, the changes in blood sugar levels, or excessive weight.

Dark Skin Patches

Dermanet

Dark patches on the skin, or acanthosis nigricans, that appear on the armpits, groin, and neck and feel velvety to the touch can be a sign of diabetes or another undiagnosed medical condition.

Feeling Thirsty

One of the most obvious signs of having diabetes is feeling thirsty most of the time and feeling the urge to urinate often. This happens because when the blood sugar rises, the kidneys work harder in order to filter and absorb the excess of glucose. The body then releases this excess through urination, which also pulls other fluids, leading to thirst

Other early symptoms of high blood sugar levels are blurred vision, wounds that take more than usual to heal, weight loss, and tingling and numb skin.

It is of crucial importance to spot any signs on time.

Formula 1 legend passes away a month after health update

By
Monica Pop
-

Former Formula 1 team owner and broadcaster Eddie Jordan passed away aged 76. He disclosed his prostate cancer diagnosis in December, 2024, stating it was an “aggressive” form.

Eddie Jordan ran his own formula 1 team between 1991 and 2005.

He’s also known as the man who gave Michael Schumacher his break in F1, and the rest was history. Schumacher went on to win seven world championships, becoming the best formula driver the world has ever seen.

Jordan’s family shared the news of his passing. “It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Eddie Jordan OBE, the ex-Formula 1 team owner, TV pundit and entrepreneur. He passed away peacefully with family by his side in Cape Town in the early hours of March 20, 2025, at the age of 76, after battling with an aggressive form of prostate cancer for the past 12 months.

“EJ brought an abundance of charisma, energy and Irish charm everywhere he went. We all have a huge hole missing without his presence. He will be missed by so many people, but he leaves us with tonnes of great memories to keep us smiling through our sorrow.”

Press Association

In February, just a month before his passing, Jordan offered an update regarding his health, saying he was “not himself” because of the treatments he had been receiving for the cancer he battled.

His passing has shaken the world of Formula 1, because many considered him an irreplaceable part of it for years.

Ronco/HOCH ZWEI/picture alliance

“Eddie Jordan was a legend of Formula One. He made an invaluable contribution to global motor sport throughout his life,” F1’s governing body, the FIA, said in a statement.

“All of us at the FIA would like to send our deepest condolences to his family and friends at this very difficult time. Eddie will always be remembered as a great sportsman and passionate ambassador for Formula One on and off the track.”

Williams F1 star Carlos Sainz wrote, “Extremely sad to learn that Eddie has passed away. A true icon and loved character of our sport. Passionate, loyal and truly one of a kind. He will be dearly missed. R.I.P.”

“We are saddened to hear the news of Eddie Jordan’s passing. A true legend of the sport, his passion and contributions to F1 left an incredible mark,” McLaren wrote in their tribute. “Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this sad time. Rest in peace, Eddie.”

Sky Sports pundit Karun Chandhok also paid his tributes to the F1 legend. “There will never be another like him. Sleep well EJ.” 

Commentator David Croft added: “He was a legend and we all loved him and my god are we going to miss him. Sleep well EJ and thank you for making all of our lives so much better for having known you.”

Shocking before-and-after photos reveal the dramatic impact of 9 months in space on ‘stranded’ NASA astronauts

By
Monica Pop
-

After spending nine months in space, astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore landed on Earth.

Their trip to space that was supposed to last only eight days turned into months-long stay that was delayed multiple times due to technical setbacks.

Eventually, NASA opted to try and return the stranded astronauts home with a SpaceX Dragon capsule instead of Boeing.

The capsule splashed down off the coast of Florida, marking their safe return.

However, neither Williams nor Wilmore were able to step off the capsule physically. Instead, they were carried out and placed on stretchers. This isn’t unusual since astronauts returning from space have weakened muscles, which makes it difficult for them to walk under the force of the Earth’s gravity.

Now, before-and-after photos of the two show the impact of the 286 days stay in space on their bodies.

Concerns over their health were raised even during their stay in space, especially regarding severe weight loss and muscle atrophy.

Joe Raedle/Getty Images

One of the main issues with a longer stay in space, as reported by the Daily Mail is the effect of microgravity. Over time, it can cause swelling of the optic nerves of the eyes, flattening of the back of the eye, and to develop folds in the retina.

This condition known as Spaceflight Associated Neuro-Ocular Syndrome (SANS) can cause fuzzy vision in about 70 per cent of all astronauts who go into space.

Williams, however, was ready to accept these challenges. In an interview with Fortune before her mission to space, she said, “It’s just what the human body does – it explores, among other things. We all have curiosity; we’re born with it. Maybe some of that gets pushed down a little bit by society and things going on around us, but we’re all curious and we want to explore. As a nation, this is one of those things that gives people hope and understanding about things that are bigger than themselves.”

During her interviews while in space, Williams addressed the impact of space on her body. “There’s a lot of changes that go on up here.

“But it’s funny, I think there’s some rumours around out there that I’m losing weight and stuff. I’m actually right at the same amount.”

Williams and Wilmore’s journey home took 17 hours.

In light of shooting reports, Corewell Health Beaumont Troy in Michigan has enforced a lockdown

By
Monica Pop
-

At around 7 a.m. Thursday morning, police were alerted of active shooting at Corewell Health in Beaumont Troy, located 24 miles north of Detroit.

Authorities issued a shelter-in-place order with the hospital employees barricading themselves inside in the midst of the chaos.

WXYZ

The victim of the shooting, a 25-year-old man, who was wounded twice in the arm, has been treated for the injuries and is in a stable condition. Initial reports say it was an isolated incident during which an employee at the hospital fired shots at a co-worker. It was dubbed a “targeted attack.”

The gunman fired five shots at the hospital’s parking lot, hitting a nearby vehicle.

What followed was a massive manhunt with the suspect eventually being arrested, the Daily Mail reports.

According to 7 News Detroit, the suspect was apprehended at a home in Macomb Township. He handed himself over to the police officers who called him on the phone requesting he gets out of the residence.

However, his identity hasn’t been confirmed yet.

The employees at Corewell Health Beaumont Troy Hospital spoke of the shooting, describing the chaos that unfolded.

“I was getting into the parking lot getting ready to walk in and another coworker was screaming to get in my car there was an active shooter,” a medical assistant told Local 4.

“I saw police officers on the parking garage with their guns drawn walking in a line, I was getting ready to walk in to punch in for the day.

Further, she added: “It’s scary. You go to your workplace thinking you’re going to be safe.”

Also, amid the shooting, social media users reported receiving a warning that read: “ACTIVE SHOOTER reported near Troy Corewell Health Beaumont Hospital (M59 and Dequindre). AVOID the area and SHELTER in place. Law enforcement on scene.”

The nearby schools also went into lockdown when the reports of the active shooting emerged.

Why stranded astronauts won’t get overtime pay despite their 8-day mission turning into 9 months

By
Monica Pop
-

To the delight of many, stranded astronauts Sunita ‘Suni’ Williams and Barry ‘Butch’ Wilmore are finally home.

Their stay at the International Space Station was originally expected to last only eight days, but due to a malfunction in the Boeing Starliner capsule that was supposed to return them to Earth, it was extended to nine months.

NASA and Boeing made several attempts to return the stranded astronauts home, but each was met with technical setbacks, leading to many delays.

Eventually, NASA decided to use a SpaceX’s Dragon capsule, which had a history of successful ISS returns.

As they emerged from the SpaceX Dragon, which splashed down off the coast of Florida, Williams and Wilmore waved and smiled.

Considering the length of their stay in space, many assume the stranded astronauts would be paid a hefty sum of money. However, that’s not the case.

Retired NASA astronaut Cady Coleman revealed for the Washingtonian that being federal employees, besides their salary, astronauts are paid the same as any employee at a business trip anywhere on Earth.

Joe Raedle/Getty Images

“There is some small amount of money per day for incidentals that they end up being legally obligated to pay you,” she said.

For her, it was around $4 (£3.19) per day. 

If this is the case, both Williams and Wilmore would only be paid an extra $1,004 (£801.27) for their time.

Both Williams and Wilmore hold GS-15 rankings, which is the highest tier in the US General Pay Schedule.

According to Uniland, their salaries range between $125,133 and $162,672 per year. This means that their prorated earnings for the additional nine months of their mission, factoring in the incidentals, will be $94,998 and $123,152.

We are glad they were finally able to return home.

Ashley St. Clair, Elon Musk’s child’s mother remains absent from social media for over a month, sparking concerns

By
Monica Pop
-

Tech-billionaire Elon Musk became a father for the 14th time, but concerns over the absence of his baby’s mother, Ashley St. Clair, from the social media continue to raise.

Ashley’s last post on X– a photo of the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy captioned, “can u believe the nerve of this gold digger. [sic]” – was posted on February 16, 2025.

She gained public attention when she announced she had given birth to Musk’s son.

Ashley describes herself as an author and director.

X/@stclairashley

However, now that she’s not active on the platform, people keep asking what the reason might be, with one person writing, “I don’t want to alarm anyone but [sic] she literally hasn’t posted anything since this.”

Another person questioned: “It’s been a whole month since Ashley St. Clair’s last timeline post. Have we lost her?”

A third added: “What ever happened to Ashley St.Clair. She use to post about 50 time a day and now hasn’t posted in month. Her last post was a month ago accusing zelensky being a gold digger. [sic].”

Ashley St. Clair/ Getty Images

It was on Valentine’s Day that Ashley revealed the news of her and Musk welcoming a son into the world. She announced the arrival of the baby writing, “Alea iacta est,” meaning “The die is cast,” which is a variation of a quote attributed by Suetonius to Julius Caesar on January 10, 49 BC.

The post added: “Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father. I have not previously disclosed this to protect our child’s privacy and safety, but in recent days it has become clear that tabloid media intends to do so, regardless of the harm it will cause.

“I intend to allow our child to grow in a normal and safe environment. For that reason, I ask that the media honor our child’s privacy, and refrain from invasive reporting.”

She did announce she would be taking some time off social media in order to spend time with her family.

Ashley St. Clair claimed Musk has only seen their child, who goes by R.S.C, only three times since his birth in September, 2024.

What’s most, she’s now suing the businessman for a sole custody of the baby, People reported.

“This has never been about money for Ashley,” a representative shared with the publication. “This is about protecting the best interests of Ashley and Elon’s child from a man who can’t be counted on to even communicate, much less act consistently in the role of a father.

“Mr. Musk spends more time on his own social media platform talking about his children’s mothers than talking to them,” the statement continued. “We tried to handle this collaboratively with Mr. Musk, but it takes both a father and a mother to do that, and he refused all conversations.”

The Daily Mail reports that Musk is set to appear in court in late May in the legal dispute over the child he welcomed with Ashley St. Clair.

St. Clair’s attorney Karen Rosenthal said: “The courtroom will be closed and the Record sealed. Other than that, I have no comment.”

Live on air: Jim Acosta steps down as CNN faces internal turmoil

Jim Acosta, a veteran journalist, quit CNN, telling viewers he won’t accept a new position anchoring a two-hour live newscast commencing at midnight.

Acosta has been with the network since 2007.

He had his last morning show on Tuesday, January 28, during which he discussed his career as an anchor.

“I’m grateful to CNN for the nearly 18 years I’ve spent here doing the news. People often ask me if the highlight of my career at CNN was at the White House, covering Donald Trump,” Acosta said.

“Actually, no, that moment came here when I covered President Barack Obama’s trip to Cuba in 2016 and had the chance to question the dictator there, Raul Castro, about the island’s political prisoners as the son of a Cuban refugee. I took home this lesson — it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant,” the news anchor added.

Wikimedia Commons

As the show came to an end, he shared one final message to his viewers and fans, urging them not to succumb to lies and fears.

“Don’t give into lies, don’t give into fear. Hold on to the truth and to hope.” he said. “Even if you have to get out your phone, record that message: I will not give in to the lies, I will not give in to the fear. Post it on your social media so people can hear from you too.”

His decision to departure from the show came as a shock to many, including his fellow colleagues.

Speaking to Fox News, a CNN employee said, “I think we’re just taken aback about how fast it was. It happened in a flash.” Another person dubbed his sendoff message “classy.”

Ana Navarro, a CNN commentator, thanked Acosta for his integrity.

“Jim has had a long, distinguished nearly 20-year career at CNN, with a track record of standing up to authority, for the First Amendment and for our journalistic freedoms,” a CNN spokesperson said about his exit. “We want to thank him for the dedication and commitment he’s brought to his reporting and wish him the very best in the future.”

Before he decided to leave the network, CNN announced they would be replacing Acosta’s 10am program with The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer and Pamela Brown.

CNN

CNN offered Jim Acosta a midnight time slot, previously used for reruns of CNN’s primetime programming for West Coast audiences.

President Donald Trump, who Acosta was a huge critic of, took to Truth Social to express his satisfaction over the news anchor’s decision to step down, calling him “one of the worst and most dishonest reporters in journalistic history,” and “a major loser who will fail no matter where he ends up.”

Everything you need to know about chronic constipation: A hidden threat to your digestive health

By
Monica Pop
-

Chronic constipation can have serious negative health effects if ignored.

Our digestive system breaks down the food we consume, allowing the body to absorb essential nutrients. During digestion, unused food particles turn into waste in the form of stool, which is eliminated from the body during a bowel movement.

However, when a person experiences issues with the digestive system, one of the problems that arises is constipation. This condition can lead to abdominal pain, difficult bowel movement, and bloating.

The constipation can also be a result of changes in our diet.

The truth is that every person experiences constipation at some point in their life, but when it becomes chronic, it can lead to even more serious issues.

A startling X-ray photo of a woman who experienced two weeks of constipation shocked doctors.

Unable to accommodate the excessive buildup of waste, her colon enlarged significantly, reaching up towards the chest and close to the heart.

The chronic constipation led to the colon’s folds – that are vital to its functionality – to disappear.

This condition can easily lead to fatalities if left untreated.

In case of chronic constipation, several things happen. Among the rest, the colon may lose its capacity to compress and push feces forward when it is compelled to extend over its normal limit. Further, the toxins can get into the bloodstream, leading to reduced immunity, bloating, foul breath, acne, and chronic fatigue.

Pexels

Also, a person faces the risks of hemorrhoids – enlarged veins in the rectum – and anal fissures – microscopic tears in the anus that cause excruciating agony during bowel movements.

Bowel blockage, which is one of the most serious complications of chronic constipation, may also occur. This can cause complete obstruction of the intestines, further leading to severe infections and tissue death. If it comes to this stage, a surgery may be required.

Sadly, chronic constipation also increases the risks of colon cancer.

Pexels

Some of the ways to prevent constipation from happening is balanced diet rich in fibers.

Another important aspect is staying hydrated, exercising regularly, and developing a consistent bathroom routine.

Doctor’s warning: Why going without sex can be dangerous

By
Monica Pop
-

Low sex drive affects both men and women and it can happen because of many reasons. However, experts warn that going without sex for too long can negatively affect the heath, both physical and mental.

According to a recent study, Americans in their 20s get intimate around 80 times a year, or once every four to five days. However, with age, these numbers drop to 60 times a year.

Other studies suggest that “regular and satisfying sexual activity was associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in later life.”

Individuals who refrain from intimate relations have a harder time coping with stressful situations such as public speaking, compared to those who engaged in intercourse at least once within a two-week span.

Pexels

“Suppressing sexual urges without alternative stress-relieving outlets can build up frustration and also aggravate anxiety or irritability.

“Having less sex might mean fewer germs, but it also means missing out on its immune-boosting benefits,” sexual health specialist and psychiatrist Dr. Sham Singh explained.

A study suggests that cardiovascular risk factors like diabetes, high cholesterol, and hypertension contribute to sexual inactivity in older individuals, both men and women.

The lack of intimacy within a relationship can lead to insecurity and low self-esteem.

Pexels

The connection between physical and mental well-being and sexual engagement became evident during the COVID-19 pandemic. Those who had intercourse more often during the lockdown reported lower levels of anxiety, a 2021 research suggests.

These results are likely related to the levels of endorphin, brain chemicals that reduce stress and pain, that rise during intercourse for about 20%.

Dr. Singh speaks of some of the negative effects on the body from abstinence of sex. “In both men and women, the absence of sex release may result in a heightened level of restlessness or tension that may find its way into physical manifestations like muscle tightness, trouble concentrating, or hypersensitivity to touch,” he noted.

“Some people may feel more fatigued due to sex being a good way to relax and sleep better, for example, through the release of oxytocin.”

Pexels

On the other hand, the health benefits of having regular sex are improved immune system function, reduced blood pressure, and reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases.

The National Survey of Family Growth reports that rates of sexlessness are rising nationwide among adults aged 22 to 34, with the same showing that 10% of young men and 7% of women in this group haven’t had sex in their life.

Shocking twist in the Gene Hackman mystery as police reveal wife Betsy Arakawa contacted a doctor 24 hours after ‘she died’

By
Monica Pop
-

Gene Hackman and wife Betsy Arakawa were found dead in separate rooms at their Santa Fe property on February 26.

Their deaths, as well as that of one of their dogs, Zinna, was a mystery until the autopsy results confirmed that the Academy Awarded actor died of cardiovascular disease, with his Alzheimer’s being a contributing factor, a week after Arakawa’s passing. Authorities believe that Hackman was probably unaware his wife was dead.

Betsy Arakawa died of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, a rare disease contracted from infected rodent droppings or saliva.

The reports confirmed her time of death as February 11.

Getty Images

However, the mystery surrounding their passing deepens as now police reveals that Betsy Arakawa made a call to the Cloudberry Health clinic on February 12, a day after what officials stated as the day of her death.

According to the Mirror, Dr Josiah Child, a former emergency care specialist who now runs the clinic, told The Mail, “Mrs Hackman didn’t die on February 11 because she called my clinic on February 12.”

He explained: “She’d called me a couple of weeks before her death to ask about getting an echocardiogram [heart scan] for her husband. She was not a patient of mine, but one of my patients recommended Cloudberry to her. She made an appointment for herself for February 12. It was for something unrelated to anything respiratory.”

The couple’s Santa Fe home/ AP

However, she called back two days before her appointment was to take place saying she couldn’t go because her husband wasn’t feeling well.

“She called back on the morning of February 12 and spoke to one of our doctors who told her to come in that afternoon. We made her an appointment but she never showed up. She did not show any symptoms of respiratory distress. The appointment wasn’t for anything related to hantavirus. We tried calling her a couple of times with no reply.”

Facebook

The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office confirmed Arakawa making the call on February 12.

“We can now confirm that Mrs. Hackman’s phone was utilized on the morning of February 12 to call a medical center in Santa Fe called Cloudberry Health.

“A total of three calls were made that morning, all to the medical center. One incoming call was made to Mrs. Hackman from the same medical center that afternoon.

“That appeared as a missed call on Mrs. Hackman’s cell phone.”

Officers located Arakawa’s body in the couple’s home’s bathroom with pills scattered around her. Hackman’s body was on a utility room floor with his pacemaker showing he died on February 18.

Their dog died of starvation and dehydration.

Koda, a beautiful Shiba Inu dog that wouldn’t stop staring at the windows of the closed bike store near the warehouse where I worked, was everything but ordinary. There was something about this dog’s behavior that I found rather strange.

No matter how many times I tried to approach him, Koda would run away. The truth is, I didn’t know his name, but started calling him Koda because I saw him every day and I felt like he needed a name.

What I noticed about him was that he had a collar, and obviously an owner, because his fur was always clean.

What’s most, he wouldn’t munch on the food I’d give him. Instead, he would sniff it and then take it in his mouth and run away.

Curious, I asked around. Some of the people working nearby said they had also noticed the dog, assuming it belonged to the owner of the closed bike shop, Morgan’s Bikes.

When I asked about the owner, they said no one had heard from him since he closed the place, so they assumed he probably moved places or retired. But why would he leave his dog behind?

Few more days passed by and Koda started being comfortable around me, so one day, I took him home, although I knew my girlfriend would be livid.

“Daniel, what’s this?” she asked me the moment she spotted me with Koda. I explained that he was an abandoned dog that needed a new home, but she wasn’t excited by the thought of having a dog in the house. After some explaining and begging, Tasha finally agreed to welcome Koda in.

However, Koda felt restless.

He struggled to find a cozy spot for himself and rejected the food I offered, some chicken scraps.

In the morning, Tasha said, “Daniel, your beloved dog is gone. I guess he didn’t like it here, and I believe it’s for the better.”

“How do you mean he’s gone?” I asked, worried.

I put some clothes on and went outside to look for Koda. Unsurprisingly, he was standing right in front of the closed bike shop, just like he did every single day. But that day, I decided to follow him.

To my surprise, Koda led me to a house and showed me the back yard. There was a German Shepherd there that was locked inside a cage. Poor Koda was taking food to his dog friend. The German Shephard was visibly malnourished and filthy. He started barking softly, as though he was asking from me to save him.

“Oh, Koda, so this is why you never ate your food. All this time, you were helping a friend.”

I didn’t hesitate before I called the police and told them about the neglected dog, and they arrived at the address at no time.

When they tried to track down the owner, the Morgan guy, they learned a devastating truth. He didn’t move place, nor he retired. Sadly, he was dead.

The police found his body inside the house.

The German Shepherd was taken to the nearest vet clinic where he was treated for malnourishment. He was still alive thanks to Koda.

As of me, I knew the two friends shouldn’t be separated.

That dog that spent his days in front of the closed store and his pal that was caged for weeks deserved their happy ending – together.

I was perfectly aware Tasha would say no, but once I shared the entire story with her, she said, “Well, I guess it’s not fair for these two to be separated.”

All of a sudden, we ended up with two dogs, and our world became a better place.

Parents warn of fatal microwave mistake after 7-year-old girl suffers severe injuries and falls into a coma

By
Monica Pop
-

The social media has become a scary place, especially for children who fail to distinguish between real videos and those created with the help of artificial intelligence, leading to various extremely dangerous challenges they are willing to try themselves, including the latest one involving a NeeDoh cube.

A 7-year-old girl suffered severe injuries and fell into a coma after trying to recreate a NeeDoh trend she had seen on YouTube and TikTok.

Little Scarlett Selby put her NeeDoh, a super stretchy dough filled groovy glob loved by youngsters, into the microwave before freezing it after watching a video of someone doing it.

Kennedy News and Media

Unfortunately, the toy exploded, “covering Scarlett’s face and chest with the red-hot goo contents inside the cube,” as per Uniland.

Scarlett’s father, Josh Shelby, heard his daughter’s frantic screams and rushed to her, trying to take off the substance from her face and clothes.

“She’d frozen the NeeDoh cube the night before and the next day she showed me it was rock solid and was playing with it,” the devastated dad said.

“She stuck it in the microwave. I was watching her and saw her touch it to check it wasn’t too hot when she pulled it out.

“It all happened so quickly. I heard her scream and it was like a blood-curdling scream. It had exploded all over her chest, mouth and chin.”

Kennedy News and Media

Scarlett’s dad rushed her to St Louis Children’s Hospital where doctors put her into an induced coma in hopes of preventing her airways from swelling up and closing.

“She was still screaming when we got to the hospital and it’s a good 30-minute drive from where we live. It was terrible how scared she was and how much that hurt her,” Scarlett’s mother, Amanda, said.

“I was panicked, devastated, terrified and heartbroken.”

The little girl spent three days in a coma and suffered second and third-degree burns. Today, four months after the devastating incident took place, Scarlett’s parents still wait to learn if their girl would need to undergo a skin grafts surgery.

So far, her parents have treated Scarlett’s scars with creams and silicon ointments. They say she’s self-conscious of her scars.

Kennedy News and Media

At the same time, they are trying to raise awareness of the dangers of the content found on the social media and the potential dangers of the toy that caused Scarlett the injuries.

The NeeDoh manufacturer, Schylling Toys, has a warning on its website that reads: “Do NOT heat, freeze, or microwave, may cause personal injury.”

They partnered with social media sites to make sure any content related to the misuse of their product is removed from the platforms.

A small plane plunged into the Caribbean Sea, killing at least twelve people, including US citizens.

Civil aviation official Carlos Padilla explained the plane “made a sharp turn to the right of the runway and fell into the water” moments after taking off and crashing off the coast of Roatan Island.

A fishermen who witnessed the crash said he avoided being struck by the plane as it feel into the sea.

Rescue crews searched the waters, with one body left to recover.

“It’s been difficult to access the accident (site) because there are 30 meters (98 ft) of rocks and you can’t get there while walking or swimming,” Roatan Fire captain Franklin Borjas explained, as per the Daily Mail.

“The divers helping with the rescue have zero visibility.”

Honduran President Xiomara Castro issued a statement saying she has rapidly put an Emergency Operations Committee into action, uniting different agencies.

According to the country’s transport ministry, there were 14 passengers on board, including members of the crew.

Honduras National Police

Among those who lost their lives was Honduran musician and politician, Aurelio Martínez.

Martínez was a well-known voice in the Garífuna music scene, an Afro-Indigenous community with roots tracing back to St. Vincent.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade of Belize paid tribute to Martínez, calling him a “great friend of Belize and a true champion of Garífuna culture and music.

“His passing leaves a void in the world of music and culture, but his legacy will live on in the hearts of all who loved his art and his people.”

Reports are that the reason for the plane crash was a mechanical failure.

The State Department confirmed the death of an American citizen, extending their condolences to the family.

Passports facing restrictions in the US after Trump’s gender executive order

By
Monica Pop
-

Since he took office for the second time, serving as the 47th president of the country, Donald Trump signed a plethora of executive orders. One of them will lead to passports facing restrictions in the US.

Among the rest, Trump signed executive orders that will affect immigration, employment, and climate changes.

However, the one he signed as soon as he delivered his inauguration speech was titled “Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government.”

This directive now directly impacts non-binary individuals after Biden’s administration introduced a policy allowing them to mark an X under gender in their passports.

According to Trump’s order, the country now recognizes only two genders, male and female, categories based on biological sex assigned at birth. This means that those identifying as non-binary, genderqueer, or other gender-diverse identity, won’t be able to use the neutral X option determining their gender. This extends to all federal documentation, including passports, birth certificates, and other forms of identification.

Uniland reports that a 2021 survey shows the number of individuals holding a passport with X gender in the States has been 1.2 million.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio told employees, “The policy of the United States is that an individual’s sex is not changeable.”

He added that sex, not gender, should be used on official documentation, with passports now facing restrictions in the US.

As per the NBC News, the State Department will no longer issue “X” sex markers for U.S. passports or birth records for U.S. citizens with children born abroad. Further, Marco Rubio told employees “not take any further action” on those applications “pending additional guidance from the Department.” 

At the moment, the passports already issued with the X gender options are valid, however, those who need to update their travel documents in the near future may face difficulties.

The ‘world’s worst prison’ gets its first American immigrants after Trump ‘defies judge’s ruling’

By
Monica Pop
-

A plane carrying American immigrants, suspected members of a Venezuelan gang, touched down in El Salvador under Trump’s command despite the judge’s ruling.

The order passed by Trump’s administration required 238 supposed criminals – American immigrants – to be transferred to what is known as the “world’s worst prison” in El Salvador.

A federal judge ruled against the order, but at the time the plane carrying the alleged gang members was already in international airspace, thus Trump’s administration claimed they didn’t break any laws.

Trump’s order has been based on an 18th century law – which was intended for wartime and targeted Venezuelan gang members – with the government claiming the country is facing an “invasion” of criminal organizations linked to kidnappings, killings, and other crimes.

US is expected to pay the government of President Nayib Bukele $6 million for one year of services.

The infamous prison where the members of the Tren de Aragua gang were deported – the Terrorism Confinement Center, or CECOT – was built in 2023 when president Bukele announced the war against organized crime.

Bukele himself announced the arrival of the American immigrants transferred to El Salvador from America. He posted photos of them handcuffed, writing that the “first 238 members of the Venezuelan criminal organisation” had landed and that “the United States will pay a very low fee for them, but a high one for us.”

“As always, we continue advancing in the fight against organized crime. But this time, we are also helping our allies, making our prison system self-sustainable, and obtaining vital intelligence to make our country an even safer place. All in a single action,” he wrote on X.

“May God bless El Salvador, and may God bless the United States.”

President Trump also posted about the transfer, blaming Joe Biden and his administration for infiltrating the criminals to the United States.

“These are monsters sent into our Country by Crooked Joe Biden and the Radical Left Democrats. How dare they!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“Thank you to El Salvador, and in particular President Bukele, for your understanding of this horrible situation, which was allowed to happen to the United States because of Democrat leadership.

“We will not forget.”

And while many judge Trump for this action, the White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, released a statement in which she claimed a single federal judge from a single county, and his ruling, “cannot direct the movements of an aircraft carrier full of foreign alien terrorists who were physically expelled from US soil.”

The statement added that federal courts “have no jurisdiction” over the president’s foreign affairs.

Trump said he believes the gang members are tied to the Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.

According to AP, the conditions in the prison are inhumane, with inmates forced to fight over food and water. It doesn’t offer any educational programmes that would help those serving to adapt to outside life ones released.

Also, according to Venezuela’s minister of justice, “those held at CECOT would never return to their communities.”

I fired a single mom for being late – then learned the truth and asked for forgiveness

By
Monica Pop
-

When I fired Celia, a single mom, for being late for the third time that month, I believed I was just a reasonable manager.

I called her at my office and even before saying a single word, she knew why she was there. Celia didn’t say anything after learning her fate in the company, she just grabbed her purse and left.

Later that afternoon, I overheard two co-workers talking about Celia and feeling pity about her poor son who was forced to sleep with her in her car.

“What do you mean sleeping in her car?” I asked one of them before pulling her aside.

Pexels

That’s when I learned the truth about the single mom I had fired, before asking if her lateness was due to any personal struggles.

Celia was evicted a month ago, so she was forced to live in her car together with her son. Her ex abandoned them and she worked two jobs whenever she could. The nearby shelters were crowded and wouldn’t accept them, but a church across town allowed them to shower from time to time. Driving to the church which was rather far was the reason she was late for work three times.

I felt sick to my stomach. That woman struggled to make ends meet, she struggled to survive, and I only made things worse for her.

That evening, I couldn’t sleep. All I could think of was Celia and her son. I did her wrong, and I had to make things right.

Pexels

I tried contacting her first thing in the morning, but she didn’t pick up the phone. She neither answered my texts.

So, I decided to track her down by visiting every shelter and every food bank. But Celia was nowhere to be found.

And then, finally, a woman from a church told me that Celia was there two nights ago. But she didn’t know where she could be at that moment.

I decided to park my car there. If she was there once, she may return. And that’s exactly what happened.

When Celia spotted me, her face went pale. I got out of my car and said, “Celia, I’m sorry, I didn’t know.”

Pexels

I offered her the job back and promised to help her find an apartment at a complex my cousin managed.

“Why are you doing this?” she asked me.

“Because while following the rules I forgot how to be a human,” I said, struggling to contain my tears.

I managed to get Celia and her son into one of the apartments at my cousin’s complex, no deposit needed. Also, I did all in my power to get her access to assistance programs. It wasn’t ideal, but it was a start.

A few days later, Celia stopped by my office to thank me for my help.

Pexels

That evening, I realized that I was very close to making a huge mistake. I also realized that between policies and procedures, we forget that people aren’t just numbers on spreadsheets. Everyone is fighting their own battle, and sometimes, all they need is someone willing to listen.

Elon Musk questions rising healthcare costs — Mark Cuban explains 7 reasons CEOs are part of the problem

By
Monica Pop
-

Tech billionaire Elon Musk, now the head of the Department of Government Efficiency, questioned why the U.S. can’t afford healthcare and why medical costs keep rising.

Posting on X, the social platform he owns, Musk cited that the country has the highest healthcare administrative costs among Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development countries.

“Shouldn’t the American people be getting their money’s worth?” the Tesla owner asked.

Musk’s remarks were met with pushback, with Mark Cuban pointing out that CEOs like Elon Musk are in fact a huge part of the problem.

According to Cuban, the government isn’t the one to blame for the problem entirely. On the contrary, he stated that it is the CEOs of self-insured companies who sign contracts that make drug prices worse.

“The key is the contracts CEOs of self-insured companies sign. The PBM contracts YOU have signed for Tesla, SpaceX, and X have more impact on healthcare costs than anything you can do with DOGE,” Cuban said.

With a seven-point list, Mark Cuban explained to Elon Musk exactly how these contracts affect the prices of the drugs.

His list stated:

  1. Don’t control your claims data
  2. Don’t control your formulary
  3. Have to pay more for “Specialty Drugs” that have nothing special about them
  4. Get rebates that are paid for by your sickest and oldest employees and result in higher deductibles and co-pays that impact the wellness of your workers and their families.
  5. Cause independent pharmacies to be reimbursed for less than their costs for brand drug scripts for your employees and families, causing them to go out of business.
  6. Can’t talk to manufacturers to put together wellness programs for things like GLP1s.
  7. Signed a PBM contract with an NDA which prevents you from publicly discussing your PBM contract, resulting in an opaque, inefficient market, which leads to higher prices and lower quality of care for the entire country.

Cuban, however, says his company, Cost Plus Drugs, is trying to provide solutions.

They are trying to take the PBMs out of the equation and sell drugs directly to the customers at more reasonable prices. The pricing would be transparent, showing the actual cost and the 15% markup. It would also feature a flat $3 pharmacy fee and $5 shipping.

Amid the rise of the healthcare costs and the frustrations that grow bigger with each passing day, the PMBs (pharmacy benefit managers) are under the spotlight as never before with many questioning their agreements with them.

Donald Trump – reason for avoiding military service during the Vietnam War traced to medical diagnosis

By
Monica Pop
-

Millions of young Americans were drafted into the US Army due to the Vietnam War between 1955 and 1973. Current President Donald Trump was in his twenties at the time the Vietnam War started, but he didn’t become part of the military. Instead, he stayed home with his family.

As this information came to light, many wondered why Trump, who was rather young at the time and was 6’2, athletically-built college student, dodged the war.

In 1968, Donald Trump celebrated graduating from college – that same year, 16,899 Americans were killed in the Vietnam War.

NY Daily News Archive via Getty Images

Until that point, Trump avoided being drafted four times due to attending college.

He received four student deferments between 1964 and 1968 while attending Fordham University and the University of Pennsylvania. But even after his graduation, he received a deferment yet again. It was a medical deferment classified as 1-Y – later changed to 4-F – for bone spurs in his heels.

However, lack of documents showing that the business-mogul suffered from spurs in his heels sparked controversy.

Many are convinced that he had obtained the medical documents illegally in order to avoid the military service, while others believe his diagnosis was genuine. According to the The Gun Zone, there are no corroborating medical records to prove either belief.

Reach Publishing Services Limited

Dr. Elysa Braunstein, daughter of late foot doctor Dr. Larry Braunstein, told The New York Times that her father had once rented a room from Donald’s dad, Fred Trump. “I know it was a favour,” she alleged, adding of Trump’s heel: “But did he examine him? I don’t know.”

Asked in recent times whether he has ever undergone a foot surgery, Trump said he hadn’t. “Over a period of time, it healed up,” he told Seattle Times.

Deferment could be obtained by influential people who could afford going to college. Those who couldn’t get it but were influential were deployed to noncombat zones such as Germany and Korea.

Mom promised me the lake house, but after I paid for renovations she gave it to my sister

By
Monica Pop
-

That lake house meant the world to me. All my childhood memories were related to that place, so when my mom told me she would give it to me, I was so excited I started the renovations right away.

I put every dollar I had into that house. What’s most, I did most of the work myself. From painting the fence and the walls, patching the roof, and scrubbing every single inch of that place until my hands felt raw.

Pexels

I simply put my heart and my soul into the lake house, and when I finally thought I could move in, my mom delivered some shocking news.

“Kate, dear,” she said one day, “I’m aware I promised you the lake house, but Stella needs it more than you do.”

Hearing those words made my world collapse. Stella, my sister, was the golden child. She always got everything she wanted. And I… I was left with her leftovers.

I couldn’t understand why Stella needed the place more than I did, but then my mother dropped a bomb. “Honey, you see… she’s got children, and you don’t, so…”

Midjourney

My mom was well aware that not having children wasn’t a decision I made. I simply couldn’t have any, and that was the reason why my ex-husband left me. Both my mom and Stella witnessed my struggles. They both knew how I felt when my marriage ended, but they didn’t seem to care, so why would they now?

First, I was left to pick up the pieces of my life with Tom, and now I was left to do the same with that lake house I loved so much.

As I was packing my things, my mom’s words echoed in my head – “Stella needs it more than you do.”

When I left the place, I ran into my neighbor, an elderly woman named Lucy.

“Listen Kate, there is something you should know,” she said as she grabbed me by my arm.

Pexels

“What’s wrong?” I asked, confused and a bit overwhelmed.

“Honey, I didn’t mean to eavesdrop, but I overheard your mom and your sister talking about the lake house. They are planning on turning it into a hotel. And with your renovations, you saved them a ton of money.”

“What?” I yelled. “So this was their plan from the start?”

“I guess it was,” Mrs. Lucy said as she tried to comfort me.

The betrayal by my own family felt bitter. I couldn’t believe my mom and Stella were capable of such a deceit.

I tried hard to move on. And then, when I least expected it, I met Ethan. He was the most lovely person I’ve ever met in my life. We started dating and he proposed. Life felt good again, and then, a miracle happened. I fell pregnant and welcomed a son.

Midjourney

I was happy with my family, but somehow, I always thought of my mother and her betrayal. It was something I wasn’t able to get over.

A couple of years passed by. One day, while I was doing the dishes, I noticed some papers on the kitchen counter.

When I took them in my hands, I realized they were a deed to the lake house. But how could that be?

“Ethan!” I yelled as loud as I could. “What’s this?”

Ethan smiled at me and said, “It’s finally yours, just like it was always supposed to.”

Midjourney

It turned out that my mom and sister went bankrupt and were forced to sell the lake house they turned into a tiny hotel.

I heard they owed money and that their hospitality venture failed big. Maybe it was karma, or maybe it was just bad luck, who knows, but at that point, I didn’t really care. All I cared for was the future, and it looked bright.
