Biden's former White House doctor declined to answer questions before House panel

Biden's former White House doctor declined to answer questions before House panel
Dr. Kevin O'Connor, who served as President Biden's White House physician, showed up for a closed-door interview with the House Oversight Committee but refused to answer questions, invoking his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. The session was short and left lawmakers with little new information.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t an everyday occurrence—a president’s personal doctor taking the Fifth raises eyebrows, even if we don’t yet know why he did it. It adds fuel to the ongoing political scrutiny over Biden’s health and transparency, but without more details, it’s more of a curiosity than a bombshell. Still, it keeps the conversation alive about how much the public (and Congress) should know about a president’s medical history.

Search for survivors after Houthis sink second Red Sea cargo ship in a week
negativeTop Stories
The Houthi rebels, backed by Iran, have sunk another cargo ship in the Red Sea, marking the second such attack in just a week. The vessel, Eternity C, was carrying 25 people—three of whom died in the assault. Rescue efforts are now focused on finding survivors amid escalating tensions in the region.
Editor’s Note: This isn't just another shipping incident—it's part of a dangerous pattern. The Red Sea is a critical trade route, and repeated attacks here threaten global supply chains, raise insurance costs, and could drag regional tensions into a wider conflict. For crews and companies, it’s a deadly reminder of the risks they’re now forced to navigate.
Strong earthquake tremors felt in Delhi-NCR
negativeTop Stories
Residents across Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR) were jolted by strong earthquake tremors early this morning, sending many into panic as buildings shook and people rushed outdoors. The quake, which lasted several seconds, was felt across multiple high-rise areas, though no immediate damage or injuries have been reported. Authorities are assessing the situation, but for now, it seems the region dodged a major disaster.
Editor’s Note: Earthquakes in this densely populated region are always a big scare—Delhi-NCR isn’t just India’s political heartland but also home to millions living in high-rises and older structures that might not withstand a major quake. While today’s tremor didn’t cause harm, it’s a stark reminder of how vulnerable the area is and how unprepared infrastructure could spell trouble if a stronger one hits. People are right to be on edge—it’s not just about the shaking, but what could happen next time.
Deadly new Russian drone attack reported on Kyiv
negativeTop Stories
A fresh Russian drone strike hit Kyiv overnight, leaving at least two dead and 13 wounded, according to local authorities. Fires broke out across the city as emergency crews scrambled to respond—another grim reminder of the relentless toll on civilians as the war drags on.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another headline—it’s a stark snapshot of how daily life in Ukraine remains under siege. With attacks like these becoming tragically routine, the story underscores both the human cost and the resilience of a capital that refuses to be broken, even as global attention wavers.
Officers who confronted Southport killer reveal how they disarmed him - as they are nominated for police bravery award
positiveTop Stories
Two police officers who bravely confronted and disarmed a knife-wielding attacker in Southport—preventing further harm—have been nominated for a national bravery award. They’ve shared their harrowing experience of the incident, detailing how they acted swiftly to neutralize the threat.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another crime story—it’s a reminder of the split-second decisions officers make to protect the public. Their actions likely saved lives, and the award nomination shines a light on the often-overlooked courage in policing. Stories like this humanize law enforcement and underscore the risks they take daily.
Kellogg shares soar on reports of Ferrero takeover talks
positiveTop Stories
Kellogg's stock price shot up after rumors surfaced that Italian confectionery giant Ferrero might be buying the company in a $3 billion deal. If it goes through, this could merge two big players in the snack and cereal world.
Editor’s Note: Big food deals like this don’t happen every day—especially when it involves household names like Kellogg’s (think Frosted Flakes) and Ferrero (the folks behind Nutella). Investors are clearly excited, hence the stock jump, but it also hints at how competitive the food industry is right now. If the deal closes, it could mean new products, reshuffled brands, or even changes on grocery shelves. Worth keeping an eye on.
