Dogecoin surges 30% to a record above 50 cents as speculative crypto trading continues

Dogecoin , the cryptocurrency based off a viral dog meme from nearly a decade ago, surged 30% on Tuesday to set a new record high at more than 50 cents per coin. The cryptocurrency was trading at about 54 cents, according to data from Coin Metrics. Dogecoin rose to roughly 40 cents per coin last month before falling sharply for several days after the calendar turned to April 20, a date widely celebrated as a marijuana-themed holiday. Dogecoin was started as a joke in 2013 amid a boom in early cryptocurrencies. It was based on a popular internet meme at the time that featured a Shiba Inu dog and cartoon-style text over the image. Its rise in recent months has been highlighted by many as a sign of froth and speculation in the financial markets, particularly among younger investors who started trading during the pandemic. The coin has been boosted in recent weeks by billionaires Elon Musk and Mark Cuban , who have both mentioned Dogecoin on Twitter multiple times. Cuba...

Tom Selleck is tortured daily because of his long-term disease, his friends say

If rumors are to be believed, fans of the 'man behind the mustache' might have considerable cause for alarm over the actor's health. Several articles have recently made the rounds, all with the same premise: Hollywood heartthrob, Tom Selleck is facing rapidly declining health as he suffers from a debilitating bout of arthritis.

Both sources state that Selleck's arthritis is becoming increasingly painful and hindering, to the point where he can no longer do his own stunts. More than that, however, the publications reported that Selleck uses a stunt double not only for demanding, challenging scenes, but also for the more trivial, mundane tasks, such as simply climbing out of his police vehicle on set while filming Blue Bloods. Some days are worse than others for the former action star, unnamed sources said, claiming tha...

THE WOMAN ALEX PRETTI TRIED TO SAVE FINALLY BREAKS SILENCE — HER SHOCKING REVELATION COULD SHAKE THE INVESTIGATION

THE WOMAN ALEX PRETTI TRIED TO SAVE FINALLY BREAKS SILENCE — HER SHOCKING REVELATION COULD SHAKE THE INVESTIGATION In the chaotic moments before Alex Pretti was fatally shot by federal agents in Minneapolis earlier this month, another American was directly involved — a woman he was reportedly trying to assist when the deadly encounter unfolded. Video and eyewitness accounts from the incident show Pretti moving toward her after she was shoved to the ground by immigration officers during an operation. Now, that woman has stepped forward with a startling account. According to sworn affidavits and witness testimony filed in court , she says Pretti was not advancing on agents with a weapon , as federal authorities initially claimed, but instead was attempting to help her after she had been knocked down. Her statement — included in legal filings challenging the official narrative — paints a dramatically different picture of the moments leading...
