Donald Trump announced on Friday that he plans to posthumously pardon baseball legend Pete Rose, who was banned for life from Major League Baseball (MLB) due to gambling on games. Rose, who passed away last year at the age of 83, is the all-time hit king with a record of 4,256 hits. Trump expressed his belief that Rose should be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, stating on his Truth Social platform that while Rose made a mistake by gambling, he only bet on his own team to win. He criticized MLB for not electing Rose, calling the league "fat" and "lazy." Rose was banned in 1989 while managing the Cincinnati Reds and later spent five months in prison for tax evasion. In 2004, he admitted to betting on Reds games but maintained he never bet against his team.

Trump expressed intrigue over Biden's omission, noting that Harris had been unable to secure a victory against him in the elections. This revelation comes amid ongoing discussions about Biden's reelection bid, with Obama reportedly suggesting that Biden reconsider his decision to run again in 2024.

Published: Mar 01 2025, 2 pmeznews.inUS Army Lieutenant General Telita Crosland, a prominent Black female officer and head of the military's health agency, was reportedly forced to retire on Friday after a distinguished 32-year career. This decision comes in the wake of President Donald Trump's recent dismissal of senior military officials, marking a significant shake-up within the Pentagon. While Crosland's retirement was officially announced as voluntary, sources indicate that she was compelled to step down without a clear explanation. Stephen Ferrara, acting assistant secretary of defense for health affairs, expressed gratitude for her service, but the Pentagon has not disclosed the reasons behind her departure. The move aligns with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's recent efforts to dismantle diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, which he has criticized as divisive. Advocates argue that such programs are essential for addressing systemic inequalities within the military.
Published: Mar 01 2025, 3 pmeznews.inJustin Sun, the billionaire founder of Tron and advisor to Donald Trump's cryptocurrency venture World Liberty Financial, has received a reprieve from a civil fraud case brought by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). A federal court has paused the SEC's enforcement action against Sun, allowing both parties to seek a potential resolution, with a status update expected in 60 days. Charged in March 2023 with fraud, market manipulation, and issuing unregistered securities, Sun has denied the allegations and filed for dismissal in March 2024. His controversial role in the cryptocurrency sector is highlighted by his $75 million investment in World Liberty Financial, which holds nearly $9 million in Tron's TRX tokens. The SEC claims Sun engaged in deceptive trading practices and paid celebrities to promote his tokens without disclosing their endorsements. Trump's administration, meanwhile, has shown a favorable stance towards digital assets, appointing pro-crypto figures to key regulatory positions.

Published: Mar 01 2025, 1 pmeznews.inOutlawed Kurdish militants, the PKK, announced a ceasefire with Turkey on Saturday, following a significant appeal from their imprisoned leader, Abdullah Ocalan, who urged the group to disband. This marks the first response from the PKK since Ocalan called for the dissolution of the organization, which has fought against the Turkish state for over 40 years. The PKK's executive committee stated their commitment to Ocalan's call for peace and a democratic society, declaring the ceasefire effective immediately. The PKK, labeled a terrorist organization by Turkey, the US, and the EU, has been involved in an insurgency since 1984, aiming for greater Kurdish autonomy. Despite previous peace efforts faltering in 2015, recent developments, including a surprise peace gesture from President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's nationalist ally, have reignited hopes for dialogue. Ocalan's appeal was communicated through the pro-Kurdish DEM party after several meetings at his prison.
