Did Donald Trump suffer a serious stroke
Opinion | Editorial A sitting president allegedly suffered a stroke in 2025, and the White House kept it secret. The claim, reported by a doctor, is explosive not because it is unprecedented but because it fits a long tradition of concealment. American democracy has always struggled with the tension between transparency and control, between the public’s right to know and the state’s instinct to protect power. If Donald Trump did suffer a stroke, and if his administration hid it, then we are not simply talking about one man’s health. We are talking about the erosion of democratic accountability itself. The presidency is not just another job. It is the most powerful office in the world, and it… |

The Assassination of Malcolm X
On February 21, 1965, Malcolm X woke up alone in a suite at the Hilton Hotel in New York City.He was, in the most literal sense, a guy without a home. The week before, someone had set fire to his house in the East Elmhurst neighborhood of Queens in the middle of the night. His wife, Betty Shabazz, and his four small children were all well, but for their own protection, they were currently residing with friends in a secret location.Malcolm was sure that his old coworkers from the Nation of Islam (NOI), led by Elijah Muhammad, were responsible for the firebombing. He used to be the second most influential person in the religious and political movement, but now he had to watch out for the milit… |

Is A Human Journey To Mars Feasible
For more than half a century, Mars has functioned less as a destination than as a promise. It is the place we gesture toward when Earth feels politically exhausted, environmentally strained, or philosophically cramped. Mars is invoked when budgets swell, when rockets roar, when speeches reach for grandeur. It has become the cosmic equivalent of a clean slate, a second chapter written in rust-red dust. But promises are easy to make when they sit 225 million kilometers away. The idea of sending humans to Mars has migrated from science fiction to press release to business plan, and now to something like cultural assumption. The question is no longer “Should we?” but “When?” That shift alone sho… |

At least three dead with a dozen injured in prison riot in Georgia
Early Sunday afternoon, Sheriff Joel Cochran told local station WRDW that several fights broke out inside the facility in Davisboro in Washington County, Georgia, which resulted in 13 inmates being taken to the hospital. The prison is located around 50 miles southeast of Augusta. While the fight was between inmates, one guard was potentially injured, according to Cochran. The Washington County Coroner confirmed two deaths had occurred initially from the fight, and a third individual died later on Sunday evening. “It’s not uncommon for these things to happen at correctional facilities; however, I think it has been quite some time since we’ve had to come to an incident this large,” Cochran sai… |

The so-called Gravity Reactor is being proposed by a California-based start-up company from a father-daughter duo, Liz Muller and Richard Muller Removed from bookmarks A pilot project to bury a nuclear reactor one mile underneath a town in Kansas has split the opinion of local residents, with some fearing the environmental impacts while others hope it will create economic opportunities.

It will be the first time a commercial nuclear reactor operates underground. The s… |

Iran will not bow down to US pressure in nuclear talks
Iran’s ?President ?Masoud Pezeshkian has pledged not to fold to pressure from the United States after his American counterpart, Donald Trump, said he was considering limited strikes to force a deal on Tehran’s nuclear programme. Pezeshkian’s comments on Saturday came amid high tensions in the Gulf, with the US continuing to grow its military presence with the deployment of two aircraft carriers and dozens of jets. “We will not bow down in the face of any of these difficulties,” Pezeshkian said at a ceremony to honour members of the Iranian Paralympics team. “World powers are lining up with cowardice to force us to bow our heads. Just as you did not bow down in the face of difficulties, we wi… |

Nvidia CEO Huang denies he is unhappy with OpenAI says 'huge' investment planned
Business TAIPEI, Jan 31 : Nvidia plans to make a "huge" investment into OpenAI, probably its largest ever, CEO Jensen Huang said on Saturday, denying he was unhappy with the ChatGPT maker. The chipmaker in September announced plans to invest up to $100 billion in OpenAI, a deal that would give OpenAI the cash and access it needs to buy advanced chips that are key to maintaining its dominance in an increasingly competitive landscape. The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday that the plan had stalled after some inside the chip giant expressed doubts about the deal. The report said Huang had privately underlined to industry associates in recent months that the original $100 billion agreement … |

Hayley Mills Is Eighty And I Am Not Accepting It
Hayley Mills will turn 80 on April 18, 2026, but I reject this information on instinct. 80 years old? No way. Not in a dramatic, screaming way. In a quiet, stubborn way, like when you reread a sentence because it must be wrong. Eighty doesn’t belong to her. Eighty belongs to politicians who won’t go away. Eighty belongs to men who confuse survival with wisdom. Eighty belongs to people who feel heavy with years. It does not belong to the girl who made optimism look precise, controlled, and—most importantly—earned. I learned this in Saigon, which is calm, structured, and orderly in a way that puts most American cities to shame. There are rules here, and people follow them. There are no guns. T… |

The World Cup plan is merely a proposal and not an obligation
FIFA President Gianni Infantino has called the plan to sell ownership in the World Cup a proposal but said it is "not an obligation," following a significant criticism from several football authorities. FIFA this week said it planned to create a $20 billion subsidiary to run the World Cup and other events, and would sell up to 20% of the subsidiary to outside investors. The proposal was heavily criticized by the sport’s regional confederations, which said they were surprised by FIFA’s plan to incorporate commercial investors in the sport. The commercial side of the game has to grow." "It is a natural growth of the game," Mr Infantino said. “It’s part of a democratic process—a consultation pr… |

Kristi Noem and the politics of cruelty
Kristi Noem’s defense of the ICE agent who killed Renee Nicole Good has ignited one of the most explosive political firestorms of her career. Her remarks—branding Good a “domestic terrorist” and standing behind a podium emblazoned with a Nazi-era slogan—have drawn condemnation from lawmakers, activists, and ordinary citizens who see her as emblematic of authoritarian excess. The controversy is not a passing headline; it is a defining moment that reveals the deeper instincts of a politician who has built her career on toughness, loyalty, and spectacle, but who now finds herself accused of weaponizing cruelty into policy. The reaction to her stance has been visceral because it touches a raw ne… |

New Epstein file photos appear to show Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor on floor with woman
Photos included in newly released files on pedophile billionaire Jeffrey Epstein appear to show Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor crouched over a woman on the floor. In the undated images, the royal appears to kneel on the ground as he leans over an unidentified woman, while another angle shows the woman’s abdomen being touched. The images, among more than three million documents published by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) on Friday, have no captions and it is not known where they were taken. But they will likely put further pressure on Andrew, who has faced ongoing questions over his friendship with the late financier. The royal has always denied any wrongdoing. Other files revealed Andrew—str… |

Britain resisting a genocide is now treated as terrorism
At a moment when Israel and its leaders stand accused before international courts of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity, Britain has chosen to direct some of its most powerful legal tools not at those enabling the destruction of Gaza, but at activists protesting against it. The sentencing of the Filton 4, therefore, raises questions that extend far beyond the fate of four individuals. Whatever one’s view of their actions, the case forces Britain to confront an uncomfortable contradiction: why does opposition to Israel’s actions increasingly attract the language of extremism and terrorism, while support for those actions remains firmly within the bounds of respectable politics? … |

The First Years of Elvis Presley with his Parents
Exclusive Feature The church in Tupelo was quiet that morning, sunlight spilling through tall windows. Gladys Love Smith sat near the front, hands folded, eyes were soft, her posture shy. Vernon Elvis Presley entered late, shoulders bent from the weight of small burdens, his clothes plain, his steps uncertain. Yet when he looked up, his gaze caught hers, and their feelings soared. Gladys lowered her eyes quickly, cheeks warm. “Don’t stare,” she whispered to herself, though her heart beat faster. Vernon lingered in the aisle, hesitant, then slid into the pew across from her. His voice was low, almost unsure, when he leaned slightly and said, “Do you come here often?” Her lips parted, but her … |

UK weighs removing ex-Prince Andrew from succession line amid Epstein probe
The British government is weighing new legislation that could remove the former prince, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, from the line of royal succession, according to reports. Officials in the United Kingdom, speaking on condition of anonymity to the BBC on Friday, said the decision could follow after the police finish their investigation into the ex-prince’s ties with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. “The move would come after the ongoing police investigation has concluded,” the BBC reported. The UK’s Press Association news service said British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s government “will consider introducing such legislation once the police have finished their investigation” into Mou… |

The Vote That Was Not Supposed to Happen
The House’s vote to cancel Trump’s tariffs on Canada is less about trade mechanics than about political courage. In a chamber long bent under executive power, a bipartisan crack appeared. Whether symbolic or substantive, the rebellion signals a deeper struggle over democracy, consumer costs, and the meaning of loyalty in American politics. On February 11, 2026, the House of Representatives narrowly voted 219–211 to terminate President Donald Trump’s emergency tariffs on Canadian imports. Six Republicans broke ranks to join Democrats, while one Democrat opposed the measure. The resolution, spearheaded by Rep. Gregory Meeks of New York, challenges Trump’s use of emergency powers to justify swe… |

Foreign element caused recall of 90000 bottles of child ibuprofen
Federal regulators have ordered a nationwide recall of nearly 90,000 bottles of children’s ibuprofen after contamination was discovered in two production lots.
