Former US President Jimmy Carter Enters Hospice Care at 99 In a solemn decision, former US President Jimmy Carter has chosen to discontinue medical treatment and enter hospice care. The 99-year-old statesman, renowned for his lifelong dedication to public service and humanitarian efforts, made the decision after “a succession of brief hospital stays,” according to a statement released by the Carter Center. “Former US President Jimmy Carter chose to spend his final days at home with his family today and accept hospice care rather than additional medical treatment,” the statement read. A Legacy of Compassion and Service Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States, has been widely respected not only for his leadership during his presidency but also for his tireless work in promoting peace, human rights, and public health around the world. After leaving the White House in 1981, Carter devoted himself to humanitarian causes, founding the Carter Center in 1982 with the mission of advancing peace and improving global health. Under his guidance, the Carter Center has made significant strides in combating diseases such as Guinea worm disease and river blindness, fostering democracy in troubled regions, and negotiating peace in conflict zones. Carter’s post-presidential years have… CONTINUE READING…

On September 15, Prince Harry will receive an $8.5 million inheritance from a $90 million trust fund set up by the Queen Mother, marking his 40th birthday. However, Prince William and Princess Kate are reportedly unhappy with this, as Harry’s share will exceed William’s. This gift underscores ongoing family tensions.

On September 15, Prince Harry will celebrate his 40th birthday with a significant surprise—a $8.5 million inheritance arranged by the late Queen Elizabeth. This gift comes from a $90 million trust fund set up by the Queen Mother for the royal family, specifying that Harry would receive his share upon turning 40. However, not everyone in the family is pleased. Reports suggest that Prince William and Princess Kate are unhappy with this windfall, questioning whether Harry deserves it. According to a source close to the family, William is “disgusted” that Harry will receive millions “without lifting a finger,” especially considering the ongoing tensions between them. Interestingly, Harry’s share will exceed William’s, as the latter benefits from the vast wealth of the Duchy of Cornwall, funding his public and private activities. While Harry is set to receive slightly more than half of the £14 million allocated for both brothers, he will need to pay taxes on the inheritance. This birthday gift highlights the underlying discord within the royal family, yet it also marks a significant moment in shaping Prince Harry’s future.

Speaking in an interview on ABC News’s “This Week” on Sunday, August 11, Ohio Senator and Trump 2024 running mate JD Vance sounded off on host Jonathan Karl, fact-checking him in real time over fake information that Karl was pushing in an attempt to discredit Trump. The contentious back and forth came when Vance pushed back on Karl’s characterization of the Republican position on family and gender issues. Particularly, Karl claimed that Trump wrongly characterized Walz’s policies regarding separating children from parents over gender reassignment treatment disagreements, and Vance brilliantly pushed back on Karl’s claims. Particularly, Sen. Vance argued that the GOP’s generally stiff resistance to such state-backed interventions in parent-child disputes over gender treatments is a matter of respecting parental rights to raise children, and of respecting their worldviews. Vance, commenting on Walz’s policy as governor and what Trump said about it, told Karl, “What President Trump said, John, is that Tim Walz has supported taking children from their parents if the parents don’t consent to gender reassignment. That is crazy.” Continuing, he added that Walz’s message is discordant given policies such as this one, saying, “And by the way, Tim Walz gets on his high horse about mind your… CONTINUE READING…

Former GOP hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy has gained some steam, back before he dropped out and sided with former President Donald Trump. Back in the heady early days of the runup to the GOP primary, Vivek was largely considered the winner of the first Republican debate, and the fact that most of the other hopefuls on stage directly attacked Ramaswamy as opposed to Florida governor Ron DeSantis was quite telling. It had been assumed that if former President Donald Trump had any actual competition, it would come from the Florida governor. Many pundits had assumed the debate would be a knives-out attack on DeSantis. Instead, he faded into the background, avoiding any heavy blows from the likes of Chris Christie and Nikki Haley. Ramaswamy, the Cincinnati-born entrepreneur, has run largely on the populist platform used by Donald Trump. He espouses America-first policies, more border security, cutting off funding for foreign wars, and a climate change stance that immediately has run afoul of the left. On the debate stage, Ramaswamy called climate change a “hoax,” eliciting cheers from the crowd but derision from the other GOP challengers. The young upstart contender recently went on leftist MSNBC and was attacked by Andre Mitchell about… CONTINUE READING…

Michael Madsen has spoken publicly for the first time about the tragic dеаth of his son, Hudson. The 26-year-old was found with a gunshot wound to the head in what is suspected to be a suicide. In a statement shаrеd with The Los Angeles Times, the 64-year-old actor from Reservoir Dogs expressed his sh.ock and grief. “I am in sh.ock as my son, whom I just spoke with a few days ago, said he was happy — my last text from him was ‘I love you dad,’” Madsen said. He went on to shаrе his confusion, noting, “I didn’t see any signs of depression. It’s so tragic and sad. I’m just trying to make sense of everything and understand what happened.” Hudson’s family, devastated by the loss, released a statement to Metro. “We are heartbroken and overwhelmed with grief and pain at the loss of Hudson,” they said. “His memory and light will be remembered by all who knew and loved him. We ask for privacy and respect during this difficult time.” A spokesperson for the Honolulu Medical Examiner confirmed to PEOPLE that Hudson died of a gunshot wound to the head in a suspected suicide on the island of… CONTINUE READING…

After what seemed like years of woke ascendancy in the wake of former President Barack Obama winning a second term, the far left is starting to face some degree of effective pushback thanks to its unpopular stance on Israel. That means that one “Squad” representative is close to losing a primary race, and another, Rep. Jamaal Bowman, lost his primary race and won’t be in Congress when the next Congressional term begins. Freaking out about that was Rep. AOC, a fellow Squad member who won her primary handily. As background, one of the main reasons for Rep. Bowman’s loss was that his comments on Israel in the context of the Israel-Palestine war led to AIPAC, the American-Israeli Political Action Committee, pouring a whopping $15 million into the primary race to defeat him. That AIPAC campaign succeeded, much to the disgust of the Squad. Among those who sounded off on his defeat was far-left Rep. AOC, who, when speaking to reporters about Rep. Bowman’s loss and Democrat leadership not supporting him to the extent she thinks they should have. She said, “This was about $20 million in big money being spent in a historic sum, unlike any seen in American history, point blank period.” She continued, … CONTINUE READING…

Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk recently offered his opinion on his social media platform X shortly after President Biden dropped out of the 2024 race and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris.  Musk shared a past video of Harris introducing her pronouns while wearing a mask, suggesting four years of her as president would be unimaginable. While sitting at the head of a “roundtable with disability advocates” discussion, Harris said, “Good afternoon. I want to welcome these leaders for coming in to have this very important discussion about some of the most pressing issues of our time. I am Kamala Harris. My pronouns are ‘she’ and ‘her.’ I am a woman sitting at the table wearing a blue suit.”  Musk succinctly commented, “Imagine 4 years of this…” Throughout the Biden-Harris administration, little consideration was given to the vice president in her predominantly ceremonial job aside from several apparent failures, such as the southern border, which Biden tasked her with handling.  However, in light of Biden’s withdrawal from reelection and subsequent endorsement of Harris, she has faced enhanced scrutiny given the prospect of her leading the nation. Last month, Biden shared on social media, “It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve… CONTINUE READING…
