 Nicki Minaj sparks backlash after showing off 'most meaningful gift' from Trump Nicki Minaj stirred controversy among her fans after proudly showcasing what she described as a “meaningful” gift from President Donald Trump a signed Bible reportedly valued at around $1,000. The rapper posted a photo of the Bible on X, featuring “God Bless The USA” on the cover and Trump’s signature across the front.  While Minaj praised the gift as one of the most significant, she had ever received, the post quickly went viral and sparked backlash from many of her 21.6 million followers. Reactions were sharply divided. Some fans applauded the gesture, but many criticized both the gift and Minaj’s public endorsement of it.

ACTOR MICHAEL JAI WHITE WARNS AMERICA IS 'NOT MAKING MEN ANYMORE'. (PHOTO).

Image
 Actor Michael Jai White warns America is 'not making men anymore' Actor and martial artist Michael Jai White told Joe Rogan on his podcast that he believes American boys are becoming “too soft” and that masculinity has been diminished in recent decades.  He contrasted the U.S. with countries like Australia and New Zealand, where he said “rites of passage” still exist for young men. White argued that foreign actors are often cast to play American alpha males because American masculinity has been “demonized,” a point Rogan agreed with. White recalled seeing the shift firsthand when he worked as a schoolteacher, pointing to participation trophies and the removal of competition as examples of how children were shielded from failure. He said these left kids unable to cope with losing, which he linked to broader social problems.  Rogan agreed, calling losing “the best medicine.” White emphasized that competition and struggle are essential for growth, and that protecting self-e...

 NFL receiver Rondale Moore found dead in his Indiana hometown Rondale Moore, a 25-year-old NFL wide receiver, was found dead in his hometown of New Albany, Indiana, from a suspected self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to local authorities.  Moore, who had endured consecutive season-ending knee injuries over the past two years, was discovered in a garage, with police confirming the death remains under investigation. An autopsy was scheduled to follow. Moore’s career began with promise after a standout freshman season at Purdue and his selection by the Arizona Cardinals in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft. He showed flashes of brilliance early on, recording over 1,200 receiving yards and four total touchdowns in three seasons.  However, devastating knee injuries derailed his time with both the Atlanta Falcons and Minnesota Vikings, leaving him sidelined and visibly distraught during his final attempt to return to the field in 2025. Tributes poured in from across ...

 Outcry after Ambassador Mike Huckabee suggests Israel has God-given right to Middle East land U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee sparked outrage across the Arab world after suggesting in an interview with Tucker Carlson that Israel has a biblical right to expand across much of the Middle East. While Huckabee clarified that Israel is not seeking to take over neighboring countries, his remarks about land promised to Abraham’s descendants were widely condemned.  A coalition of Arab and Muslim nations, including U.S. allies Saudi Arabia and Qatar, issued a joint statement rejecting his comments as “dangerous and inflammatory,” while the Arab League labeled them “extremist and lacking any sound basis.” Regional governments responded sharply, with Saudi Arabia demanding clarification from the U.S. State Department and Egypt calling the remarks a “flagrant breach” of international law. Iran warned that such rhetoric could embolden Israel’s actions against Palestinians and neigh...

 My parents didn’t know I did BBL until it started smelling — Queen Asoka Reality TV star Queen Asoka has opened up about secretly undergoing a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), revealing that her parents only found out after complications set in. Speaking during an interview with Chude Jideonwo, Queen said the decision to have surgery was not impulsive but a gradual process rooted in her long-standing dream of becoming a commercial and fashion model. According to her, while her mother supported her ambitions, her father, a lawyer, wanted all his children to follow the legal profession. She recalled how her mum would secretly take her to competitions, and how chaos broke out the day her father saw her in an Airtel advert at his office. Determined to stand out in the modelling industry, Queen said she felt she didn’t have the typical height and body structure of a fashion model. That pushed her to consider enhancing her body to gain what she described as a “selling point,” especially as sh...

Epstein estate agrees to pay at least $25 million to settle victims’ lawsuit The executors of Jeffrey Epstein’s estate have agreed to resolve a class-action lawsuit brought by survivors of his sexual abuse, committing to pay at least $25 million while denying any wrongdoing. The agreement, reached Thursday, will be funded from the remaining assets of the estate rather than from the personal finances of the two men named in the suit, Darren Indyke, Epstein’s longtime attorney, and Richard Kahn, his accountant. Both were accused in the 2024 lawsuit of helping facilitate, participate in, and conceal Epstein’s illegal conduct for financial gain. Through their attorney, the co-executors have maintained that they have never been accused by any woman of committing or witnessing sexual abuse, nor of being informed directly about allegations against Epstein. They continue to reject claims that they played any knowing role in his crimes. Under the terms of the settlement, eligible survivors must...

MEXICAN ARMY KILLS JALISCO NEW GENERATION CARTEL LEADER EL MENCHO, OFFICIALS SAY. (PHOTO).

Mexican army kills Jalisco New Generation Cartel leader El Mencho, officials say The Mexican army killed Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, known as "El Mencho," leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), during a military operation Sunday in the western state of Jalisco, a federal official said. The operation came after several hours of roadblocks and burning vehicles across Jalisco and neighboring states, tactics often used by cartels to hinder military movements. Videos shared on social media showed plumes of smoke over Puerto Vallarta and people running through the airport in the state capital in panic. In response, Air Canada suspended flights to Puerto Vallarta, citing the ongoing security situation and warning travelers to avoid the airport. El Mencho had been the target of a U.S. State Department reward of up to $15 million for information leading to his capture. CJNG, founded in 2009, is one of Mexico’s most powerful and fast-growing criminal organizations. T...

Man sentenced for murder in deaths of four homeless men in Manhattan    A Manhattan jury on Thursday found Randy Rodriguez Santos guilty of murdering four homeless men who were sleeping in the Chinatown neighborhood in 2019. The 12-member jury rejected his defense claim that he was not responsible due to mental illness and reached a verdict in less than a day. Santos, 31, faces life in prison when he is sentenced in April. The killings underscored the vulnerability of the city’s homeless population, particularly those struggling with mental health challenges. On the night of the attacks in October 2019, Santos, who was homeless at the time, carried a 15-pound metal bar and struck the men repeatedly in the head around 2 a.m., killing four. A fifth man narrowly escaped. Surveillance video captured the brutal assaults. Prosecutors said Santos had conducted a “trial run” a week earlier in Chelsea, attacking a sleeping man with a stick before being chased off. During the Chinatown ...

 Sudan decries Uganda hosting RSF commander as 'blatant disregard of genocide crimes' Sudan called Uganda's reception of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) commander, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, “a blatant disregard for the crimes of genocide.” Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni met with Dagalo on Sunday at the presidential palace in Entebbe. This reception “is an unprecedented step that contradicts Uganda's commitments to good neighborliness, at a time when innocent lives are being lost," the Sudanese Foreign Ministry said in a statement, Anadolu Agency reported. “Atrocities committed by the terrorist militia (RSF) have been documented by the international community and condemned by regional organisations to which Uganda belongs, such as the African Union," it added. The ministry condemned Dagalo’s reception in Uganda as “a step that disregards the most basic human values and ignores the scale of the crimes committed against Sudanese citizens.” “It also vi...

 Willie Colón, legendary Nuyorican salsa musician, dies at 75 Willie Colón, the legendary musician and one of the most influential figures in salsa and the Nuyorican movement, died Saturday at age 75, his family announced on social media. “It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of our beloved husband, father, and renowned musician, Willie Colón. He departed peacefully this morning, surrounded by his loving family,” the statement read. “While we mourn his loss, we celebrate the lasting gift of his music and the memories it created, which will live on forever.” Born William Anthony Colón Román on April 28, 1950, in the South Bronx, New York, Colón was of Puerto Rican descent and a true musical polymath—poet, composer, arranger, trombonist, producer, folklorist, and musical director. His grandmother instilled in him a deep sense of Puerto Rican identity and taught him Spanish, a language his parents had largely lost. Colón began his recording career at 16 with Héctor La...

 Clintons set to testify before House Oversight Committee  Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are scheduled to testify before the House Oversight Committee next week as part of its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, a committee spokeswoman confirmed. The depositions are set to take place in Chappaqua, New York, on Feb. 26 and 27. Neither Clinton has been accused of any wrongdoing.

Billionaire Les Wexner testified at his Ohio estate, and Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell gave her deposition virtually from a federal prison in Texas. The Clintons were initially scheduled to testify last year, but their appearance was postponed due to scheduling conflicts. A standoff with House Republicans arose after they declined to appear for a rescheduled deposition earlier this month. The committee subpoenaed the Clintons in Augus...

 Jorrit Bergsma, 40, becomes oldest Olympic speedskating gold medalist   At the Milan Cortina Games, Jorrit Bergsma turned the men’s mass start into a celebration long before he crossed the finish line. Gliding down the backstretch with a commanding lead, the 40-year-old Dutch skater stretched his arms wide, blew kisses toward a sea of orange-clad supporters, and applauded fans sporting mullet wigs in tribute to his signature hairstyle. With no one close enough to threaten him over the final laps of the 16-lap race, Bergsma had the rare luxury of savoring the final moments of an Olympic victory in real time. When he finally secured gold, he became the oldest long track speedskating Olympic champion in history, a milestone he later described as both “unbelievable” and completely unexpected. Bergsma shattered longevity marks that had stood for generations. The previous oldest Olympic long track champion was Ireen Wüst, who was 35 when she won gold in the 1,500 meters in 2022, an...

GHISLAINE MAXWELL CHALLENGES RELEASE OF ADDITIONAL EPSTEIN DOCUMENTS, CITING UNCONSTITUTIONAL LAW. (PHOTO).

Image
 Ghislaine Maxwell challenges release of additional Epstein documents, citing unconstitutional law    Lawyers for Ghislaine Maxwell are seeking to block the release of 90,000 pages of documents tied to Jeffrey Epstein, arguing that a law used to make the files public is unconstitutional. The papers were filed late Friday in Manhattan federal court to prevent disclosure of records from a decade-old civil defamation lawsuit brought by Virginia Giuffre against Maxwell. The Justice Department recently asked a judge to lift the secrecy surrounding the documents. Maxwell’s attorneys claim the government obtained the files improperly during its criminal investigation. The records include transcripts from over 30 depositions and sensitive financial and sexual information involving Maxwell and others. Some documents from the original case were already made public following a federal appeals court order. Maxwell’s lawyers argue that the Epstein Files Transparency Act, passed in Dec...

FAITH LEADERS ACCUSE WHITE HOUSE FAITH OFFICE OF BLOCKING COMMUNICATION. (PHOTO).

Image
Faith leaders accuse White House faith office of blocking communication Some faith leaders are claiming they are being shut out by the White House Faith Office, saying the administration only grants access to groups aligned with its political priorities while ignoring the impact of policies like ICE raids on religious communities. Critics argue that the office, which is taxpayer-funded and meant to represent the full spectrum of American faith, has instead become a political tool for conservative Christians. President Trump created the White House Faith Office by executive order on Feb. 7, 2025, placing it within the Domestic Policy Council inside the White House. Unlike previous versions, often housed in outside agencies, this office is central to Trump’s “religious freedom” agenda. Some faith leaders say it operates with a “closed door” policy for those who do not support the administration’s cultural or immigration goals. Doug Pagitt of Vote Common Good says he has repeatedly sought...

 U.S-Iran nuclear talks set for Friday if Iran submits proposal U.S. negotiators are preparing for another round of talks with Iran in Geneva on Friday if Tehran submits a detailed nuclear proposal within the next 48 hours, according to senior U.S. officials. The discussions are seen as potentially the last diplomatic window before President Trump could authorize a major U.S.-Israeli military operation targeting Iran, including its Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, both of whom have urged Trump to pursue diplomacy before taking military action, are expected in Geneva on Feb. 27 if Iran submits its proposal early this week. “If Iran provides a draft proposal, the U.S. is ready to meet in Geneva on Friday to begin detailed negotiations and explore the possibility of a nuclear deal,” a senior U.S. official said. Officials also confirmed that the talks may include discussions of an interim agreement before a full deal is reached. During the last round...
