Former U.S. President Donald Trump is making headlines again, after his outlandish claims at the annual CPAC meet

At this year’s annual Conservative Political Action conference, CPAC, Conservatives showed their loyalty to Donald Trump, as preferred Presidential candidate for 2024.

A straw poll shows Trump as favourite, followed by Florida’s Ron DeSantis and Senator Ted Cruz in third.

The former President used the platform to slam the Democratic party on issues of education, inflation and the transgender debate.

Hungarian leader Viktor Orban also laid out his political views to the American right, and they loved it.

In concluding the conference, Trump boasted to attendees that majority of them use Truth Social, coming in second to Facebook. However, this was after making them complete a survey on what platforms they use.

Viral moment

The entire conference included outlandish claims in true Trump style. However, it was the moment Trump tried to kiss swimmer Riley Gaines on stage that has everyone talking.

Parents buying houses for their adult children

Rise in parents purchasing homes for adult children sparks concerns

A growing trend of parents buying houses for their adult children is causing a stir, raising questions about the potential downsides of such arrangements. While the gesture may seem benevolent, experts warn of the pitfalls associated with this practice.

Financial advisors express concerns about the impact on both generations’ financial independence. By providing ready-made homes, parents might inadvertently hinder their children’s ability to learn crucial financial lessons, such as budgeting, mortgage management, and property ownership responsibilities.

The trend also sparks debates on the long-term implications for the housing market. Critics argue that such parental interventions can distort property prices and exacerbate existing affordability challenges, particularly for younger individuals aspiring to enter the property market independently.

There’s a call for a broader societal discussion on the balance between parental support and fostering financial autonomy. While the intention is often rooted in care, the unintended consequences of sheltering adult children from financial realities are prompting a reassessment of this well-meaning practice.

Victoria’s Secret is facing backlash after issuing an apology to a transgender woman who had a negative experience while trying on bras at one of their stores.

The incident has ignited a debate about inclusivity and sensitivity in the fashion industry.

The controversy began when the trans woman, who remains anonymous, visited a Victoria’s Secret store to shop for bras. She reported feeling uncomfortable and discriminated against by store staff.

In response to her complaint, Victoria’s Secret issued an apology, acknowledging the incident and expressing their commitment to diversity and inclusion.

However, the apology itself has come under fire from both supporters and critics.

Some argue that the brand’s apology is insincere and merely an attempt to save face, while others believe it is a step in the right direction towards a more inclusive shopping experience for all customers.

The incident raises important questions about how brands should handle situations involving discrimination and whether their apologies are genuine or performative.

It also highlights the ongoing challenges faced by transgender individuals when accessing spaces traditionally designed for cisgender customers.

As the fashion industry continues to evolve, many are calling for a deeper examination of inclusivity and sensitivity, not just in policies but in practice.
