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.

 Los Angeles firefighters receive star on Hollywood Boulevard

 The Los Angeles Fire Department has been honored with a star on Hollywood Boulevard, recognizing the department’s bravery and dedication during the deadly Palisades Fire in January. The initiative began with a school assignment by 14-year-old Eniola Taiwo, who suggested celebrating first responders alongside Hollywood celebrities.

“I know that the first responders aren’t exactly celebrities, contrary to all others on the Walk of Fame,” Taiwo wrote. “But I am confident that there won’t be much opposition to recognizing our modern-day heroes. This star for first responders will reach the hearts of many first responders and let them know that what they do is recognized and appreciated.” After sending her letter to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, the department was officially honored on Friday, December 12, with the star placed adjacent to the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The ceremony was attended by Taiwo, her family, her teacher Jennifer Marganski, community leaders, and firefighters. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce praised Taiwo’s vision, noting that it highlighted the importance of gratitude and civic pride. The Los Angeles Fire Department expressed its appreciation, thanking Taiwo, the Chamber, the Hollywood Community Foundation, and the citizens of Los Angeles for their support.

This Award of Excellence marks only the ninth given by the Chamber, created to honor organizations and corporations that have positively impacted Hollywood and the entertainment industry. The Fire Department now shares the distinction with notable recipients, including the Los Angeles Times, Variety, the LA Dodgers, and the Los Angeles Police Department Fallen Officers.
