Trump issues pardon to former Republican congressman Stephen Buyer after insider trading conviction    President Donald Trump has issued a full pardon to former Republican congressman Stephen Buyer, who served nearly two years in prison after being convicted of insider trading tied to post-congressional consulting work. Buyer was sentenced in 2023 to 22 months in prison for illegal stock trades made while working as a consultant and lobbyist. He was ordered to forfeit more than $350,000 in ill-gotten gains and pay a $10,000 fine. He was released from custody in 2025 after his conviction was upheld, with the Supreme Court declining to take up his appeal earlier this year. In issuing the pardon, Trump described Buyer’s service as a judge advocate general in the U.S. Army and his time in Congress as “distinguished and highly productive.” The pardon, dated Thursday and released by the White House on Friday, grants Buyer “a full, complete, and unconditional pardon.” Buyer has maint...

FOOTBALLERS SUSPENDED FOR EXPRESSING OPINIONS ON THE ISRAEL-PALESTINE WAR.(PHOTO).


Footballers suspended for expressing opinions on the Israel-Palestine war

Hamas, a Palestinian militant group on Saturday, October 7, stormed Israel through a border fence and massacred hundreds of Israelis in their homes, on the streets, and at an outdoor music festival.
This attack re-ignited the long-standing Israel-Palestine conflict.
The aftermath of the attack has led to controversial discussions in the public space, with many celebrities and athletes, declaring support for either side of the war.
This show of support on social media has however led to the suspension of a few players,
Here are three footballers who have been suspended for supporting Palestine:
1. Youcef Atal:
Algerian footballer Youcef Atal was reprimanded by a European football club after Ligue 1’s Nice suspended him for reposting an allegedly anti-Jewish message on social media related to the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict.
The move came less than two days after French prosecutors launched a preliminary investigation into Atal on suspicion of “glorifying terrorism”, following complaints filed by local politicians.
Atal allegedly shared a video from a Palestinian preacher on Instagram, purportedly calling for violence against Jewish people.
He has since deleted the message.
2. Anwar El Ghazi:
Dutch forward Anwar El Ghazi was suspended by Mainz 05 on Tuesday for a social media post about the Israel-Hamas conflict that the Bundesliga club felt was “unacceptable”.
“FSV Mainz 05 have relieved Anwar El Ghazi of his training and matchday-related duties,” the club announced on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“The decision comes as a result of a since-deleted social media post from the 28-year-old that appeared on Sunday evening. In the post, El Ghazi took a position on the ongoing conflict in the Middle East that was deemed unacceptable by the club.
“Prior to making this decision, the club and the player had engaged in an in-depth discussion. Mainz 05 respects the fact that there are varying perspectives on the decades-long, complex conflict in the Middle East.
“However, the club are distancing themselves from the content of the social media post in question, as it does not align with the values of the club.”
3. Noussair Mazraoui:
Bayern Munich’s Noussair Mazraoui also voiced his support for Palestine on social media which has brought an investigation from the club to suspend him from the club.
The Bayern defender shared a pro-Palestine video on Instagram which featured a voiceover that said: “God, help our oppressed brothers in Palestine to achieve victory. May God give mercy to the dead, may God heal their wounded.”
Club side Bayern Munich responded promptly to Mazraoui’s comments and confirmed talks would be held with the defender when he returns to the club later this week.
