Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley defended his golf outing with President Donald Trump one day before his team’s White House visit to celebrate their Super Bowl win. He wrote on X Monday: “lol some people are really upset cause I played golfed and flew to the White House with the PRESIDENT. Maybe I just respect the office, not a hard concept to understand.” The pair were spotted at the Trump National Golf Club in New Jersey Sunday, the president telling reporters “what a nice guy” Barkley was. The NFL star added on X that he recently golfed with former president Barack Obama, and that people should “get out of my mentions with all this politics.” Social media posts showed Barkley and Trump surrounded by “Make America Great Again” hats at the golf club. Barkley was also invited to the JP Morgan Tech 100 summit back in February and snapped photos with Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner. The Eagles are set to visit the White House Monday after bringing home the Super Bowl trophy earlier this year. But Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie said the celebratory visit was “optional.” After their first Super Bowl win in 2018, Trump refused to invite the team to the White House, falsely stating that they took a knee during the national anthem.

lol some people are really upset cause I played golfed and flew to the White House with the PRESIDENT. Maybe I just respect the office, not a hard concept to understand. Just golfed with Obama not too long ago…and look forward to finishing my round with Trump ! Now ya get out my…

Trump’s First 100 Days Hurtling Toward a Bleak Market Record

The S&P 500 is on course for its worst run during a president’s first 100 days in office in over 50 years under the second Trump administration. The key benchmark for U.S. stocks rocketed to its highest-ever post-election gain when Trump was re-elected in November. But in a startling reversal of fortune, the index is now down by about 8 percent since his inauguration amid Trump’s chaotic trade war and tariff policies. That’s the biggest drop in a president’s first 100 days since Gerald Ford oversaw an 11.8 percent decline in 1974 following Richard Nixon’s resignation, according to Bloomberg. “What he was elected for was ‘Make America Great Again,’ the ‘economy will be booming,’” Eric Diton, president and managing director at Wealth Alliance, told the outlet. “But all the trade uncertainty has actually detracted from economic growth.” Even if Trump does manage to “make some deals,” the economic downward spiral may be difficult to escape, another trader explained. “There is irreparable damage done,” Mark Malek, chief investment officer at Siebert, told Bloomberg. “Trend and momentum are extremely important in the stock market and they really reflect investor sentiment. Unfortunately these things are very hard to turn back around when they go down so fast.”

‘Sinners’ Is Already Breaking Records Not Seen Since ‘Avatar’

In one of the most impressive word-of-mouth campaigns in recent memory, Ryan Coogler’s Sinners has continued to prowl its way to the top of the box office, earning $45 million domestically and posting the smallest second-week drop since Avatar in 2009. Set in the Mississippi Delta in the 1930s, Sinners follows twin brothers Smoke and Stack (both played by Michael B. Jordan) as they return home to open a juke joint only to find that a sinister threat is eager to sink its teeth into their new venture. The horror flick, which essentially opened to universal acclaim last weekend, has made $161.6 million worldwide so far and has easily endowed fresh life into what’s mostly been a struggling film market this year. Coming in second place this week was a special 20th anniversary re-release of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, which grossed around $25.2 million over the weekend. Rounding out the top five are The Accountant 2 (starring Ben Affleck), A Minecraft Movie, and horror video game adaption Until Dawn which earned around $24.5 million, $22.7 million, and $8 million respectively.

‘SNL’ Star Recalls Embarrassing Interaction In Front of Demi Moore

Saturday Night Lives Chloe Fineman ran into Demi Moore, but things didn’t go as expected. In a TikTok posted Saturday, the comedian said she and her sister were having the “best day” when they walked into a restaurant in Manhattan. “I sit down, and then I look up and it’s Pilaf Little Mouse, the celebrity dog of Demi Moore, and I see Demi Moore,” she recalled. “I was like, ‘Oh, hi!’ We’ve met once or twice, and I’ve held Pilaf, because Pilaf was backstage at an SNL show.” Things quickly took a turn, however, when the restaurant manager came up to Fineman. “The guy’s like, ‘What are you doing here? Ma’am, come, come, come with me. Now. Now.’” Fineman said the manager then informed her that she needed to check in with staff before entering the restaurant. “I said, ‘Calm down. I’m not nobody. I’m on SNL.’ And he was like, ‘I don’t care who you are. I treat everybody the same. You have to talk to me first.’ And I was like, ‘OK, well, you’re being rude.’” The awkward interaction ended with Fineman and her sister leaving the restaurant. “You could call it a Karen,” she said. “I also call it living in New York, and everyone is rude as f–-k.”

Say Goodbye to Scrubbing (and Chemicals) With This Eco-Friendly Toilet Bowl Cleaner

Krazy Klean

Every adult knows that cleaning the toilet bowl is a necessary chore, but that doesn’t make the task any less unpleasant. Instead of easing the burden, most common toilet bowl cleaners tend to make the process feel even more hasslesome, repugnant, and potentially unsafe thanks to a surge of chemicals. Luckily, Krazy Klean has an eco-friendly cleaning solution to help make toilet cleaning suck so much less.

Krazy Klean’s chemical-free water treatment works like a standard toilet cleaner on autopilot. All you have to do is drop it into your toilet tank, and it will keep your bowl clean—no scrubbing needed. Here’s how it works: Water is full of sticky minerals which tend to latch onto toilet bowls, leading to a buildup of rust, limescale, and hard water stains. Krazy Klean uses magnetic fields to alter the structure of minerals in the water to prevent them from sticking. In other words, instead of removing stains, Krazy Klean helps ensure they don’t even develop in the first place.

This innovative cleaning solution is so effective that the brand offers a ten-year warranty and 100 percent money-back guarantee. In fact, according to the brand, Krazy Klean toilets can go a full decade without needing to be scrubbed. Yes, really.

Beyond making your bathroom upkeep easier, Krazy Klean also helps make your home safer, which is a plus for anyone looking to reduce chemicals and air pollutants in their homes. The brand’s mission is to reduce the amount of unsafe chemicals in our water. Traditional toilet cleaners can be unsafe for pets, kids, and adults, and they may have adverse effects on the water supply, making Krazy Klean’s chemical-free, non-toxic solution a much better option for anyone concerned about the planet. Grab yours today; you can help make an impact, one flush at a time.

Nazi-Saluting Cybertruck Driver Is Getting Pummeled on Yelp

A crew of Californians are striking back at a Cybertruck driver who motored around San Francisco offering up Nazi salutes to passersby. Marco Diaz looked similar to Tesla billionaire Elon Musk at a Trump rally while making the hateful gesture—and seemed to think he could get away with it. In the digital age? Not a chance. Someone recorded the incident, which also reportedly involved somebody in the vehicle using a homophobic slur, then posted the video online. Within days, people flooded Yelp with horrible reviews of his Modesto company, Cyber Electric, which was written on the side of the car. “Is this who you want in your home, around your family performing repairs? Disgusting,” wrote one reviewer. By Thursday, commenting had been temporarily disabled on the company’s page due to “increased public attention,” according to a new disclaimer. Diaz’s company has also disabled its own Instagram and Facebook accounts. Diaz apologized via SFGATE for his discriminatory actions. He said he was “intoxicated” and “reacted foolishly to provocation,” but that he takes full responsibility for the revolting gesture. He denied making any homophobic statements.

NFL Star Raises Eyebrows by Palling Around With Donald Trump

President Donald Trump was spotted with a new member of his entourage: Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley. The pair were filmed disembarking Marine One in Washington, D.C., Sunday, just a day before the Super Bowl champion Eagles are set to visit the White House. The NFL star hitched a ride with Trump after spending the afternoon with him at his Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in New Jersey. A photo of Barkley and Trump at the club subsequently went viral, showing the pair sitting with a group at a table filled with “Make America Great Again” hats. The president had nothing but praise for Barkley, telling reporters back in Washington: “What a nice guy he is. I wanted to race him but I decided not to do it.” The Philadelphia star’s cozy appearance with Trump came just a few days after the team’s quarterback, Jalen Hurts, refused to answer a question about whether he would travel to Washington with his team to celebrate their Super Bowl victory at the White House.

Dozens Grab Piles of Cash That Fell Out of Armored Truck

Anywhere between 50 to 100 people left with approximately $300,000 after bags of cash fell out of an armored truck in a Chicago suburb. The Oak Park Police Department in Illinois said that the back door of a truck owned by Brinks Home Security Company “opened by unknown means” on Tuesday, causing three bags of cash to fall onto the road. The employee driving the truck said that when they returned to the scene, dozens of people were already running away with the money “on foot” and “in vehicles.” A spokesperson for Village of Oak Park, where the incident took place, said that no arrests have been made. This is not the first time Brinks has lost money from a moving truck. In 2018, the doors of a Brinks armored truck swung open on an interstate in Indianapolis, leaving around $600,000 all over the lanes, state troopers estimated. Indiana State Police would not give the exact amount, but said that a “substantial amount” of money had fallen out.

Beyoncé Teases Tour Setup as Fans Gripe Over Ticket Costs

Beyoncé teased the stage setup for her upcoming Cowboy Carter tour in a Sunday post on Instagram that sent her fans into a frenzy. The black-and-white clip appeared to be taken at the Los Angeles SoFi stadium, where her tour will kick off Monday. Beyoncé captioned the post with, “SHE COMING.” And just as much as fans expressed their excitement for the tour—which is expected to span 32 stadium shows across the U.S. and Europe, USA Today reported—some fans have expressed frustration over how tickets have been dolled out. A handful of fans have claimed that they paid hundreds of dollars for some tickets that have since been discounted at a lower price, the Independent reported. The outlet reported that tickets for the tour have decreased in price because several dates have not sold out. “Next time Beyoncé sends me a presale code for a tour, I’m ignoring it,” quipped one of the singer’s fan accounts on X. “The way floor seats are way cheaper than stand seats I bought and [Ticketmaster] won’t let me exchange.” Still, Beyoncé is projected to make around $300 million from the tour, according to Billboard.

With so many different sleep remedies on the market, it’s hard to distinguish which ones (if any) actually work. If you’ve had little to no luck with other natural and over-the-counter sleep aids, consider giving Deeps Sleep Patches a try. The scientist-formulated patches are designed to be placed on your wrist before you get ready to go to sleep and be forgotten about from there.

The patches are infused with several calming ingredients, including Shoden ashwagandha and melatonin, formulated to help improve sleep quality, reduce stress, and regulate the body’s natural circadian rhythm. Once the patch is placed on your wrist, the active layer slowly releases the Deeps formula into your body through your skin. Deeps Sleep Patches have proven to me that it doesn’t always require taking heavy medication like sleeping pills to get a good night’s sleep (for me). Read my full review of Deeps Sleep Patches here.

Virginia Woman ‘Traumatized’ After Snake Falls Into Her Margarita

WRIC ABC 8News

A Virginia woman got more than what she paid for after a snake fell from the restaurant ceiling and into her margarita. Carletta Andrews told 8News that she and her husband were dining at Patron Mexican Restaurant and Cantina in Sandston earlier this month when she felt something touch her skin. “I leaned in to take a sip and I noticed something hit me in the forehead and I looked at my husband like what was that,” Andrews said. “When I turned around, I saw the snake in my margarita.” Another customer eventually grabbed the snake and released it outside. Andrews said the restaurant offered to move her to another table but she was already headed out. “I left shaking,” she said. “I was traumatized.” The restaurant owner told 8News that the snake likely got into the establishment through the air conditioning unit. When asked what precautions were put in place to avoid a repeat of the incident, the owner reportedly told 8News: “Nothing.” Records obtained by 8News showed that the restaurant had several violations during a December 2024 inspection, including leaky ceiling tiles and mold. The issues were corrected in a follow-up inspection a week later.
