From World Health Organization (WHO): “Children and adolescents living with obesity may experience stigma, discrimination, and bullying. Language matters - here are some examples of how different wording can change the conversation.”
Chart from WHO:
Instead of this: | Say this:

“Your child is obese.” | “Your child is living with obesity. It’s a chronic, complex disease.”

“We need to talk about your weight.”  | “Would it be okay if we talked about your health today? You can say no.”

“You haven’t followed the plan.” | “How did the plan work for your family? What got in the way?”

“Let’s focus on the weight first.” | “Anxiety, low mood, and self-esteem can affect eating and activity. Let’s look at what’s actually getting in the way.”

Meanwhile, Old-Shits-In-Pants is continuously showing his admiration for Obama. The irony.
The name “Hussein” has Arabic origins and is derived from the Arabic root “h-s-n” which carries the meaning of “good” or “handsome”. In Islamic tradition, Hussein is especially revered as the name of the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, who is a significant figure in Shia Islam. The name carries a sense of honor, nobility, and beauty, reflecting the virtues associated with the historical figure and the underlying meaning of the root.

From @meidastouch.com FB account: Pope Leo ain't playing with Donnie.
SHOCK REPORT: Did the Trump administration threaten the Pope's life?!
The Vatican has shelved plans for Pope Leo XIV to visit the United States after what officials describe as a deeply alarming confrontation with the Pentagon.
A stunning new report — now independently confirmed the publication Letters from Leo — reveals that a top U.S. official summoned the Pope’s then-ambassador, Cardinal Christophe Pierre, and delivered a stark warning: America has the military power to do whatever it wants — and the Church “had better take its side.”
Even more shocking, officials reportedly invoked the Avignon Papacy — a dark chapter when secular powers used force to control the Catholic Church — a reference some in the Vatican interpreted as a veiled military threat against the Holy See.
The confrontation came after Pope Leo publicly condemned a world driven by “a diplomacy based on force” and a growing “zeal for war” — remarks that reportedly enraged Pete Hegseth Pentagon officials, who viewed them as a direct challenge to the U.S.
The fallout has been immediate and significant. The Vatican has indefinitely postponed a planned U.S. visit. And instead of coming to America, Leo will spend July 4, 2026 in Lampedusa, standing with migrants, a powerful and deliberate rebuke. For the first time in modern history, the Pentagon offered no Good Friday services for Catholics this year.
Journalist Christopher Hale notes: "Earlier this year, Pete Hegseth invited his pastor to speak at the Pentagon. That pastor has called for banning public expressions of Catholicism in the United States."
While tensions escalated behind closed doors, Pope Leo didn’t back down. He doubled down.
This is an extraordinary moment and one that could reshape the relationship between the United States and the Catholic Church for years to come.

Cher just mopped the floor with Karolyin' Leavitt. She even went after that girl's parents, epic move.
Picture of Cher (Left) and Karoline Leavitt (Right) 
A rube named Karoline Leavitt, who holds the title of White House Press Secretary, recently said that Cher's activism is "...irrelevant, outdated, and rooted in a world that doesn't exist anymore."

Cher's response:
"Let's get real for a second, honey. Karoline Leavitt, Born 1997. 
Former White House assistant - tenure: eight months. I've had wigs that lasted longer than that. Lost two congressional races - both by double digits. Hosts a podcast with fewer weekly listeners than my cat's Twitter account. Advocates 'free speech', yet blocks anyone who challenges her. And her latest accomplishment? Calling a woman who has topped the charts in six different decades 'irrelevant', while trending for all the wrong reasons. Baby girl, I've been fighting for rights, touring the world, and reinventing myself since before your parents went to prom. I've faced critics louder, harsher, and far more meaningful than anything you can type. And yet, here I am. Still here. Still singing. So if you want to talk about relevance...Sweetheart, take a seat."

From “Shoppe Black”: Ghana’s Kente Cloth Earns Protected Status
Ghana’s Kente Cloth Earns Protected Status
Ghana’s most recognizable textile, the handwoven Kente cloth, has officially been granted Geographical Indication (GI) status.

This marks a historic milestone as the nation’s first product to receive this recognition.

This designation means that authentic Kente, renowned worldwide for its vibrant colors and symbolic patterns, is now formally protected under Ghanaian and international intellectual property laws.

Only cloths produced according to traditional methods and within designated regions — including the famed weaving centers of Bonwire, Agotime Kpetoe, and Sakora Wonoo — may be marketed and sold as “Kente.”A Symbol of Identity and Prestige
For centuries, Kente has been more than a fabric — it has served as a powerful symbol of identity and cultural pride.

Each pattern carries meaning, representing proverbs, historical events, and social values.

Once reserved for royalty and ceremonial occasions, Kente has evolved into a global fashion statement embraced by designers, dignitaries, and members of the African diaspora alike.

In 2024, UNESCO recognized Kente weaving as part of humanity’s Intangible Cultural Heritage, further cementing its status as one of the world’s most significant and enduring textile traditions.What the GI Status Means
The GI status, announced in September 2025, was conferred by Ghana’s Registrar General’s Department in partnership with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).

It ensures that authentic Kente is recognized and protected from imitation — a critical step in preserving both the artistry and the economic value of this heritage craft.

With this certification, only weavers who adhere to specific standards of quality, technique, and origin can label their textiles as genuine Kente.

This move positions Ghanaian artisans to benefit more directly from the growing global demand for African-inspired fashionProtecting Heritage, Empowering Artisans
The GI recognition is expected to boost tourism, exports, and local economies tied to textile production.

For artisans, it means better income protection and global visibility.

For consumers, it offers assurance that their purchase represents the true legacy of Ghanaian craftsmanship.

As the world embraces African design with renewed enthusiasm, Ghana’s move to protect Kente sets a precedent.

It’s a reminder that cultural preservation and creative innovation can — and must — go hand in hand.

Kente’s patterns may vary, but their meaning remains constant: unity, strength, and pride. And now, the world has one more reason to celebrate this enduring symbol of Ghanaian identity.
