Conor McGregor, has once again found a way to get people talking about him in public, with a recent visit to the White House.

Invited to meet American President Donald Trump as part of Saint Patrick’s Day, McGregor, an Irishman, was brought to answer several questions from the media on site. The left-hander showed no restraint during the question-and-answer session, addressing a sensitive topic in Ireland, namely illegal immigration.

"It's high time America was made aware of what's going on in Ireland."

The Irish government has destroyed Ireland through immigration and friendly media coverage has enabled it.

Conor McGregor just told the whole world what's going on here.

Clearly a supporter of the Republican leader, the former mixed martial arts champion has had his share of run-ins with the law in recent years, and he doesn’t have the best reputation around the world. On top of that, he’s also made some statements to fight against immigration…

Former Irish Prime Minister, Leo Varadkar, did not rally behind his fellow countryman, however. In fact, he personally attacked him in public, mentioning that good Irish fathers teach their children to avoid individuals like Conor McGregor.

Let’s recall that McGregor had revealed his interest in running for the presidency in Ireland in 2023…

He had received support from a certain Elon Musk.

When the question arises as to whom is the greatest hockey player of all time, the name Wayne Gretzky comes up very often.

However, many believe that Mario Lemieux should inherit this title, saying that if he hadn’t been injured, he would have been superior to number 99 in terms of points produced. Certainly, we will never know.

Nonetheless, Gretzky was considered a monument in Canada, to this day, but it seems that his popularity is in a constant free fall in his homeland.

On several occasions, we have seen Wayne Gretzky bring his support to the polarizing and controversial President of the United States, Donald Trump, as they have a good relationship, according to all appearances, as Le Journal de Montréal also pointed out.

The former superstar of the Oilers and Kings was also seen wearing a helmet that said “Make America Great Again” when Trump won his elections last November. Additionally, he has been spotted several times staying at Trump’s private residence in Mar-a-Lago, Florida.

Tonight remember when #Gretzky was great, and know that to this day he hasn't said a damn word opposing Trump's Tariff threat to Canada. Gretzky went to Mar-a-Lago and celebrated when Trump won the election.

We know that Trump often attacks Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau lately, and Wayne Gretzky’s silence in this regard particularly disturbs Canadian citizens. Some even speak of a betrayal towards his own people, nothing less.

“The Great One” also created discomfort at the Four Nations Confrontation earlier in February by not wearing the Canadian jersey, despite his honorary captain title for his nation, settling for a suit and tie.

Gretzky is done – last night said it all.

👍 should have been for Canada.

Maybe he has a spot at
Mar-a-Lago.

This is not to mention the thumbs-up gesture directed at the USA bench before leaving the ice, at the end of the pre-game ceremony of the final.

Gretzky:
Enters through US bench
Gives thumbs up to US players
Wears no red or NOTHING repping Canada
Doesn’t even look Team Canada’s way
He’s a traitor & MAGA coward
Good riddance. #4nations pic.twitter.com/1YqguI3yqF

Considering all these events that have accumulated over time, Canada seems angry with its beloved child.

A petition is even circulating to strip him of his title as a member of the Order of Canada, which has been active since 1984 (Officer)!

Moreover, it is noteworthy that a petition with over 8,000 signatures is circulating in Edmonton to rename Wayne Gretzky Drive to another name…

Let’s just say the 64-year-old legend hasn’t made any friends recently, and it will only get worse, especially with the recent developments…

The controversial figure of the media and the NBA basketball world, LaVar Ball, is currently facing serious health issues.

According to several sources, including TMZ, the father of Lonzo (Chicago Bulls), LaMelo (Charlotte Hornets), and LiAngelo Ball has had his right foot amputated due to medical complications earlier this week. The medical problem that led to this amputation has not been disclosed.

A photo of LaVar Ball is currently circulating online, showing him sitting in a wheelchair and evidence that his foot was removed. Notably, he appears to be in good spirits given the circumstances, sporting a smile on his face.

At 57 years old, LaVar Ball has never played in the NBA, unlike his sons, having instead found success at the school level and as a coach. He is not unknown in professional circles, having made a name for himself a few years back with his viral statements, particularly regarding his offspring and… Michael Jordan.

The famous Kentucky Fried Chicken has just undergone a huge geographical change!

Indeed, as announced by the brand’s owner, “Yum! Brands,” KFC will officially leave the state of Kentucky to move to Plano, Texas! Pizza Hut will do the same. And for the other chains under “Yum! Brands,” such as Taco Bell and Habit Burger & Grill, no changes will be made, as they will remain based in Irvine, California.

We are talking about at least 100 KFC employees who will have to pack their bags to relocate to Texas, while another 90 additional employees will face the same fate within a year and a half.

The CEO of “Yum! Brands,” David Gibbs, explained this important decision through a press release, considering the impact it will have on the daily lives of their representatives.

Although the news is not at all popular in Louisville, the city where KFC was born, the leaders of “Yum! Brands” have decided to keep the KFC Foundation and their administrative offices in Kentucky, to retain part of its roots. The organization also stated that it intends to make a $1 million (US) donation to the University of Louisville’s business school, reports USA Today.

One can read between the lines that “Yum! Brands” somewhat wanted to buy peace by making this donation, but it is clear that KFC’s departure to Texas will create a void in the state of Kentucky, considering everything that this restaurant brand means in this region.

After all, the temple of Colonel Sanders has become one of the most recognized fast-food chains worldwide, so it is understandable that a mourning will be necessary for those affected.

Goodbye KFC, hello… KFT?

Last October, on the 5th and 7th of that month, the two stars of the Kansas City Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, were victims of a burglary at their respective homes.

In fact, a series of thefts occurred in this area of Kansas, and the beloved NFL duo was not spared. Moreover, no fewer than seven individuals have just been criminally charged regarding all this theft. We’re talking about seven Chileans, who face up to 10 years in federal prison. They are identified by the names of Jordan Quiroga Sanchez, Bastian Orellano Morales, Sergio Ortega Cabello, Pablo Zuniga Cartes, Ignacio Zuniga Cartes, Alexander Huiaguil Chavez, and Bastian Jimenez Freraut.

A conspiracy complaint to transport the said goods, coming from the United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Florida, was filed on January 30, 2025, but it was announced just last Tuesday, February 18. It is reported that the total value of the stolen goods is even around 2 million dollars (US). It is still unclear whether the accused have managed to obtain legal counsel, but further details will certainly be disclosed soon.

It should be noted that Cabello, Chavez, Morales, and Sanchez have all pleaded not guilty to the initial charges against them in the state of Ohio, NBC News also reports.

This group is also linked to a theft valued at 1.5 million dollars (US) that occurred on November 2, 2024, in Wisconsin, involving a player from the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA. Additionally, burglaries in Cincinnati (Joe Burrow), Memphis (NBA player), and Tampa Bay (Buccaneers player) could potentially be connected to them, as these homes were also stripped while the owners were away, suffering thousands of dollars (US) in theft costs.
