    Trump and Musk Endorse Vivek Ramaswamy for Ohio Governor

    Former President Donald Trump has shown his support for biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, who is running for governor in Ohio. Trump praised Ramaswamy on Truth Social, saying he is “Young, Strong, and Smart!” and believes he will be an “GREAT Governor” who will never let Ohioans down. Trump claims to know Ramaswamy well, stating, “I competed against him, and he is something special.”

    Ramaswamy aims to make Ohio the “top state in the country” and officially started his campaign on Monday. This endorsement comes as a surprise since Trump previously criticized him during the Republican primaries earlier this year, saying Ramaswamy was “not MAGA” and accused him of using “deceitful campaign tricks.”

    Ramaswamy’s decision to run for governor follows his departure from the company DOGE. He said leaving was a mutual decision, but there were rumors that Elon Musk forced him out.

    Many users on social media reacted positively to Trump’s endorsement, with some praising Ramaswamy’s qualities and expressing confidence he will win in Ohio. Ramaswamy thanked Trump for his support, saying, “We’re behind you all the way & we will Make Ohio Great Again!”

    In addition, Elon Musk, head of DOGE, also endorsed Ramaswamy, wishing him luck on social media. Ramaswamy responded to Musk with “Elon, thank you. Let’s roll!”

    Ramaswamy’s main political adviser will be JD Vance, who is a former U.S. Senator from Ohio. At a rally in Cincinnati, Ramaswamy said he plans to make Ohio the best place to start and grow a business, promising to cut unnecessary regulations

  • Ocean Infinity Restarts Search for Missing MH370 – New Hope Emerges

    Ocean Infinity Restarts Search for Missing MH370 – New Hope Emerges

    On Tuesday, Malaysia’s Transport Minister Anthony Loke announced that Ocean Infinity, a maritime exploration company, is starting the search again for Malaysia Airlines flight MH370. This plane disappeared over 10 years ago and is one of the biggest mysteries in aviation history.

    The Boeing 777, with 227 passengers and 12 crew members, disappeared while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8, 2014. Loke told reporters that some details of the contract with Ocean Infinity are still being worked out but praised the company for their eagerness to help find the missing plane.

    When Will the Search Take Place?
    Loke did not specify when Ocean Infinity began its search efforts or how long it would last. He mentioned that the Malaysian government agreed in principle in December 2024 to resume looking for the wreckage of the missing flight. Despite extensive searches, the plane has never been found.

    Loke stated, “They (Ocean Infinity) have convinced us that they are ready. That’s why the Malaysian government is proceeding with this.” The firm will be paid $70 million if they find the wreckage and prove it is the missing flight. Loke emphasized that their priority is to support the families of those on board.

    Initially, Malaysian investigators suspected the plane might have been taken off course on purpose. In 2018, they worked with Ocean Infinity to search the area, but the company could not find the plane. Some debris, confirmed or believed to be from the aircraft, has been found along Africa’s coast and on islands in the Indian Ocean, and is currently held by the Malaysian government.

    Previously, Malaysia, Australia, and China conducted an underwater search over a large area of the southern Indian Ocean, based on satellite data from the plane. Over 150 passengers from China were on board MH370, and their families are seeking compensation from Malaysian Airlines, Boeing, Rolls-Royce (the engine maker), and the Allianz insurance group.

  • Putin: Building Trust with U.S. Key to Ukraine Peace Talks

    Putin: Building Trust with U.S. Key to Ukraine Peace Talks

    In a recent interview, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Europe will need to be part of the peace talks about Ukraine, but first, he wants to build trust with the United States. Putin made these comments as Ukraine remembered the third anniversary of Russia’s invasion, which has caused many deaths and displaced millions of people.

    U.S. President Donald Trump mentioned that he thinks the war could end in just a few weeks, but he didn’t provide many details. Putin agreed that Trump has a practical approach to the situation but suggested that a resolution might still take time.

    Putin explained that recent talks in Saudi Arabia between the U.S. and Russia focused on improving relations between the two countries and weren’t meant for European nations. He emphasized that both Russia and the U.S. need to make efforts to build trust before making any big decisions about ending the conflict.

    Further, Putin expressed his willingness to discuss cutting military spending by up to half for both Russia and the U.S., with China possibly joining later.

    He also reassured that Trump is approaching the situation logically and is not restricted by promises made by European leaders, claiming Trump can speak freely and act without external pressures.

  • Macron and Trump Seek Peace for Ukraine: What Comes Next

    Macron and Trump Seek Peace for Ukraine: What Comes Next

    French President Emmanuel Macron said on Monday that peace for Ukraine should not mean giving up. He talked with US President Donald Trump at the White House to find ways to move forward in helping Ukraine on the third anniversary of Russia’s invasion.

    Both leaders agreed that they could consider sending peacekeepers to Ukraine, but Trump insisted that Europe should take more responsibility. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was meeting with European leaders in Kyiv, asking for peace this year, as the United Nations supported Ukraine’s right to its land.

    However, the United States presented a statement at the UN that didn’t criticize Russia and instead sided with Moscow and North Korea, raising worries that Trump may be adopting Russia’s views. Macron told reporters, “This peace cannot mean the surrender of Ukraine. We want a quick deal but not a weak one.” He emphasized that it’s essential for the US to support any peacekeeping efforts in Europe.

    After having a phone call with Trump, Macron felt optimistic about finding a way to peace. Trump has recently shown interest in talking to Russian President Vladimir Putin to end the war without involving Kyiv. He believed they could end the war “within weeks” if they made smart decisions.

    Trump mentioned that Putin seemed open to having European troops as peacekeepers in Ukraine. This new approach has alarmed many, making them worry about the future support for Ukraine and Europe as a whole.

    Meanwhile, Putin indicated that businesses from the US and Russia are planning to work together on projects in occupied Ukraine. He also criticized Zelensky, calling him a “toxic figure” in Ukraine. Trump echoed this sentiment, describing Zelensky in unflattering terms.

    Trump and Putin might even meet soon in Saudi Arabia. Zelensky, who said he would resign for peace and a promise for Ukraine to join NATO, has called for genuine peace this year.

    The war, which began in February 2022, has become Europe’s biggest conflict since World War II, causing many deaths and suffering. However, Trump blamed Ukraine for sparking the war and stated he wants to change how the US handles foreign policy, which he deemed “foolish.” With Europe worried about Trump’s actions, Macron is trying to work out a united response.

    Overall, Macron is representing the European Union during his trip to the US, having met various leaders, including Hungary’s Prime Minister, who is friendly with Russia.

    Eagles Decline White House Visit, Angering Trump Supporters

    The Philadelphia Eagles, a popular football team, have decided not to visit the White House after winning the Super Bowl. This decision has upset many supporters of President Trump. Eagles’ captain Lane Johnson said it would be nice to go, but the team will vote on whether to accept the invitation from Trump. When asked if they would go, the Eagles replied with a big “no.”

    In 2018, the year the Eagles won their Super Bowl, Trump became the first sitting president to watch the game live. However, there have been many disagreements between Trump and some NFL teams. Fans have called the NFL “woke” or too political, especially after Trump criticized players for kneeling during the national anthem to protest against racism.

    When the Eagles’ players planned to skip the White House event because of Trump’s views, he then disinvited them. In a tweet, Trump mentioned that only a few players were interested in attending, so the visit was canceled.

    Former U.S. President Donald Trump spoke out after Joy Reid’s show, “The ReidOut,” was canceled by MSNBC. He criticized both Reid and the network on social media, calling her one of the “least talented people” and a “mentally obnoxious racist.”

    The cancellation was part of new changes at MSNBC led by Rebecca Kutler, but Reid confirmed she would host the show one last time, thanking her team and supporters.

    Trump’s comments came after Reid often criticized him on her show and social media. He even mentioned that she should have been fired a long time ago because of her negative remarks about him.

    In addition to Reid, Trump also made harsh comments about Al Sharpton and Alex Wagner, saying their shows were not very popular. He called MSNBC “corrupt” and said it acts like a part of the Democratic Party. Trump ended with a strong statement, claiming fake news is a major sin.

  • Don Bongino’s Journey: Triumph Over Hodgkin’s Lymphoma

    Don Bongino’s Journey: Triumph Over Hodgkin’s Lymphoma

    Don Bongino, who recently became the FBI’s Deputy Director, has faced serious health challenges. He was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a type of cancer that affects the lymphatic system. Before this, Bongino had surgery for a big tumor in his neck.

    He had experienced many lipomas, which are harmless fat lumps, so when he found another lump on his neck, he thought it was just another lipoma. He told Fox News that he first thought the lump was from a wrestling practice where he had been choked. But after getting an MRI, the radiologist gave him shocking news: it wasn’t a lipoma at all.

    Bongino had surgery to remove the tumor and shared that the whole tumor was successfully taken out. However, he got some unexpected news afterward; the tumor turned out to be lymphoma. He remained positive and thanked his supporters, saying he felt good and was grateful for the treatment options available.

    In February 2021, Bongino shared on Instagram that he had finished his treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma. He described it as a tough journey but was hopeful saying, “It’s all over. I hope.”

    Lymphoma affects about 200,000 Americans every year. It begins in lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell that helps fight infections. When someone has lymphoma, these cells grow out of control, making it harder for the immune system to protect against sickness.

    Ukrainian President Proposes Full Prisoner Exchange with Russia to End Conflict

    On Monday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy suggested that Ukraine and Russia should swap all prisoners of war. He believes this could be the first step to ending the ongoing conflict between the two nations. Speaking at a meeting in Kyiv to mark three years since Russia invaded Ukraine, Zelenskyy emphasized that Russia must free all Ukrainian prisoners, and Ukraine is willing to do the same.

    “Russia must release Ukrainians. Ukraine is ready to exchange all for all, and this is a fair way to start,” he said.

    Zelenskyy also expressed hope that this year could lead to real peace for Ukraine. Earlier, he praised the bravery of the Ukrainian people during these tough times, stating, “Three years of resistance. Three years of gratitude. Three years of absolute heroism.”

    Thirteen European leaders visited Kyiv, while 24 others joined the meeting online, showing their support for Ukraine.

    In contrast, Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Russia is open to discussions but will continue fighting unless a peace agreement meets their terms. He believes that while Russia seeks peace, the U.S. and Europe want the war to go on. Lavrov also urged the U.S. to send a representative to future peace talks after his talks with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Saudi Arabia.

    Recently, President Donald Trump criticized Zelenskyy, claiming he started the war and calling him a “dictator.” Trump is advocating for a peace deal and warned Zelenskyy to act quickly or risk losing his country. In response, Zelenskyy remarked that Trump’s views are influenced by misleading information.

    Overall, the situation remains tense as both leaders navigate this challenging conflict.

  • Did Russia Groom Trump as an Asset Over 37 Years Ago

    Did Russia Groom Trump as an Asset Over 37 Years Ago

    A former officer from Russia’s spy agency, the KGB, claims that U.S. President Donald Trump was groomed to be a “potential Soviet asset” over 37 years ago. According to Alnur Mussayev, who worked in the KGB’s 6th Directorate in Moscow, his job was to recruit businesspeople from capitalist countries. He alleged that Trump, who was 40 at the time, was recruited using the name ‘Krasnov’.

    This claim is similar to what was described in a dossier by Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence officer, which suggested links between Trump’s 2016 campaign and Russia. Trump has denied these allegations. During the investigation led by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, it was concluded in 2019 that there was no proof of a criminal conspiracy between Trump’s campaign and Russia.

    Mussayev stated, “Donald Trump is on the FSB’s hook and is swallowing the bait deeper and deeper,” suggesting that Russian authorities have some embarrassing secrets about him. He believes that Trump is “ideally recruitable” for their purposes.

    Another former KGB officer, Yuri Shvets, also claimed in 2021 that Trump was “cultivated” by Russia over 40 years ago and was willing to support anti-Western ideas. Shvets compared Trump to the “Cambridge Five,” a group of British spies who shared secrets with the Soviet Union during the Cold War.

    Pope Francis in Critical Condition: Latest Health Update

    Pope Francis had a calm night after struggling with breathing problems and receiving blood transfusions, according to the Vatican. Matteo Bruni, a Vatican spokesman, didn’t share if the 88-year-old pope was awake or had breakfast.

    On Saturday, doctors said Pope Francis, who had part of a lung removed when he was younger, was in critical condition. He faced a serious asthma attack while being treated for pneumonia and a complicated lung infection.

    To help him breathe, he received a lot of oxygen and blood transfusions because his platelet count was low. Platelets are important for stopping bleeding. The Vatican shared that the pope stayed alert and spent the day sitting in a chair, even though he felt more pain than the day before.

    Doctors are cautious about his health due to his age, fragility, and ongoing lung issues. They warn that the biggest danger is if the infection spreads into his blood, leading to a serious condition called sepsis
