Carter Center came to former president in a dreamJimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States, has passed away at the age of 100. He passed away on Sunday at his residence in Plains, Georgia, as reported by Reuters. His passing signifies the conclusion of an epoch for a man whose influence extended through his time in office and his humanitarian efforts afterward. Carter, a Democrat, rose to the presidency in 1977, overcoming sitting Republican Gerald Ford in the 1976 election. He completed one term before being defeated by Ronald Reagan in the 1980 presidential election. Carter's time in office was characterized by significant diplomatic successes, especially with the Camp David Accords, yet it was also shaped by challenges related to domestic concerns like inflation and the Iran Hostage Crisis. The announcement of his passing has sparked a flood of tributes from around the globe. Individuals, both in the United States and internationally, have commended Carter for his extensive career in public service. While his family makes arrangements for memorial services, they plan to make visits in Plains, Georgia, Atlanta, and Washington, D.C., before coming back for his burial in his hometown. A state funeral will be held afterward, although detailed arrangements are yet to be finalized. The Joint Task Force-National Capital Region will issue an official timetable in a timely manner. In the interim, the Carter Center has urged the public to access the official tribute site, which provides an online condolence register and extra memorial resources. Public tributes for the former president will take place in Atlanta and Washington, D.C., where he previously held the office as the 39th president. These events are anticipated to draw significant audiences, showcasing Carter’s influence on both national and global issues. His efforts in promoting peace, democracy, and humanitarian initiatives resonate worldwide, solidifying his reputation as a highly esteemed statesman. Carter consistently demonstrated a wish to be interred in Plains, Georgia. He will be laid to rest beside his deceased wife, Rosalynn Carter, who died in 2023. The couple will be buried at the Jimmy Carter National Historical Park, signifying their lasting bond with their hometown. In accordance with his wishes, Carter's funeral will include the Navy hymn, which he requested to honor his military service. Additional hymns, such as his preferred "Amazing Grace" and "Blest Be the Tie That Binds," will also be featured. As reported by People Magazine, these specifics were included in Carter's pre-planned funeral arrangements, a process initiated well ahead of his passing. Carter’s funeral is anticipated to showcase the profound respect he commanded, not only as a former president but also as a worldwide ambassador for peace. The Carter Center, the headquarters after his presidency, has been essential in efforts concerning global health, election oversight, and humanitarian assistance. Carter’s legacy as a past U.S. president is recognized not only for his political service but also for his unwavering dedication to creating change well beyond his presidency.

To The New York Times, it was a standard journalistic practice done in the name of fairness — asking someone involved in a story for comment. To the mother of the nominee for secretary of defense, it constituted a threat. On Wednesday, Pete Hegseth's mother accused the Times of making “threats” by calling about its story on an email she had sent to her son six years earlier that criticized his treatment of women. Penelope Hegseth sought and received an interview on Fox News Channel to support her son, whose confirmation chances are threatened by a series of damaging stories about his personal conduct. At one point, she said she wanted to directly tell President-elect Trump that her son “is not that man he was seven years ago.” She also called the Times “despicable” and attacked a basic tenet of journalism: giving someone the chance to speak for a story about actions that could be seen in a negative light. The Times' story, published Saturday , quoted from a private email that Penelope Hegseth sent to her son in 2018 while he was in the midst of divorcing his second wife. She criticized his character and treatment of women, suggesting that he get some help. “I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around and uses women for his own power and ego,” she wrote to her offspring. “You are that man (and have been for many years).” She told the Times for its story that she had sent the email in a moment of anger and followed it up two hours later with an apology. She disavows its content now. When the Times called her for comment on the story, Hegseth told Fox News that, at first, she did not respond. She said she perceived the calls as a threat — “they say unless you make a statement we will publish it as is and I think that's a despicable way to treat anyone,” she said. “I don't think a lot of people know that's the way they operate,” she said, speaking about the story. She accused the newspaper of being in it "for the money. And they don't care who they hurt, families, children. I don't believe that's the right way to do things.” Charles Stadtlander, a spokesman for the Times, said Hegseth's claim “is flatly untrue,” and she was in no way threatened. “The Times did what it always does in reporting out a story, simply reaching out and asking for a comment, which we included,” he said. Such a call is the opposite of a threat — it's an attempt to be fair, said Tom Rosenstiel, a University of Maryland professor and co-author of “Elements of Journalism: What News People Should Know and What the Public Should Expect.” “She's basically saying that brake lights are a threat because they alert you that the car ahead of you is about to stop," he said. But many Americans would perceive that call as a threat, or certainly as rude and a violation of privacy, said Tim Graham, director of media analysis at the conservative Media Research Center. “She didn't write that email to be on the front page of The New York Times,” he said. A secondary question is the newsworthiness of publishing the content of the private email, one that Hegseth said she almost immediately regretted sending and doesn't reflect how she perceives her son. Graham suggested that the newspaper wouldn't do the same for the nominee of a Democratic president-elect. “The New York Times is out to destroy these nominees,” he said. In its initial story, the Times wrote that it had obtained a copy of the email “from another person with ties to the Hegseth family.” “This was a piece of independently reported journalism published in the name of public awareness of the nominee to lead the largest department in the federal government,” Stadtlander said. “We stand behind it completely.” In many circumstances, an email from a mother to her son would be considered a private matter and out of bounds to a news organization, Rosenstiel said. But in this case, Hegseth, a former Fox News weekend host chosen by Trump to lead the Pentagon, has built himself into a public figure and is up for a very important job — and one that leads the military, which involves waging war and in which character is considered a fundamental trait. “It makes this news, honestly,” Stadtlander said. The Times wrote about Penelope Hegseth's Fox interview on Wednesday, leading with her saying her son “was not the same man he was in 2018 when she fired off an email accusing him of routinely abusing women and lacking decency and character.” There was some question about whether Hegseth would appear for an interview at his former network on Wednesday, after CNN's Kaitlan Collins posted on X the night before that “multiple people” said that was expected. A Fox News representative said that no such interview had been scheduled, and the nominee was on Capitol Hill meeting with senators. He has faced a flurry of other damaging reports, including stories about a sexual assault allegation reported to police in 2017. No charges were filed then, and Hegseth said the relationship was consensual. The New Yorker magazine wrote about reports of financial mismanagement , sexist behavior and excessive drinking when Hegseth ran a veterans' organization, and NBC News wrote about people at Fox News concerned about his alcohol use.

Former president Jimmy Carter died at the age of 100 in his hometown of Plains, Georgia, reports AP News . He was the longest-living U.S. president and died about a year after his wife, Rosalynn. Born in 1924, Carter grew up as a peanut farmer and was the first president born in a hospital. After graduating college and marrying Rosalynn, he went on to join the Naval Academy and eventually became the governor of Georgia before moving on to become the 39th president of the United States in 1977. While he lost re-election to Ronald Reagan in 1980, he remained a strong political figure and humanitarian in the U.S., eventually earning a Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. “My father was a hero, not only to me but to everyone who believes in peace, human rights, and unselfish love, ” Chip Carter, the former president’s son, said in a statement with the Carter Center. “My brothers, sister, and I shared him with the rest of the world through these common beliefs. The world is our family because of the way he brought people together, and we thank you for honoring his memory by continuing to live these shared beliefs.” Below are some tributes from President Joe Biden and former presidents.

As one of the air signs, these individuals possess a unique duality – they are both social butterflies and introspective thinkers, charming the masses while carefully weighing every decision. Understanding the nuances of the Libra man's personality is a journey of discovery, revealing a complex individual who seeks balance, harmony, and the perfect partner to complement his refined sensibilities. Advertisement At the core of the Libra man's being lies a deep-rooted desire for justice and fairness. Ruled by the planet Venus, the planet of love and beauty, these individuals possess a keen eye for aesthetics and a natural inclination towards diplomacy. They are the quintessential peacemakers, always striving to find the middle ground and see both sides of every argument. Libra men are renowned for their exceptional communication skills, able to engage in witty banter and intellectual discourse with ease. Their curiosity and open-mindedness make them excellent listeners, and they often find themselves the go-to confidants for their friends and loved ones. However, this penchant for diplomacy can also lead to indecisiveness, as Libra men meticulously weigh the pros and cons before committing to a course of action. Advertisement Another defining trait of the Libra man is his inherent romanticism. Ruled by the planet of love, these individuals are natural-born romantics, seeking the perfect partner to share their lives with. They are drawn to grace, elegance, and refined sensibilities, often finding themselves captivated by women who embody these qualities. When a Libra man falls in love, he does so with unwavering dedication and passion. He is a hopeless romantic at heart, yearning for the storybook "happily ever after" that he believes is his destiny. However, his cautious nature can sometimes make it challenging for him to take the plunge and commit fully to a relationship. Libra men are often drawn to partners who can match their intellectual curiosity and appreciation for the finer things in life. They seek a woman who is poised, well-read, and able to engage in stimulating conversation. Appearance also plays a significant role, as Libra men have a penchant for classically curvaceous women with a refined, elegant aesthetic. Advertisement Once a Libra man has committed to a relationship, he becomes an attentive and devoted partner. He takes great pleasure in showering his beloved with affection, whether it's through grand romantic gestures or thoughtful, everyday acts of kindness. Libra men are also known for their impressive stamina and sensuality, making them highly sought-after lovers. Libra men are often most compatible with fellow air signs, such as Gemini and Aquarius. These pairings tend to foster a deep intellectual and emotional connection, as they share a natural understanding of each other's thought processes and communication styles. Another auspicious match for the Libra man is the Leo woman. Both signs are ruled by planets associated with love and beauty, and they share a mutual appreciation for the finer things in life. Together, they can create a storybook romance, complete with grand gestures and a shared vision of a harmonious, aesthetically pleasing life. Advertisement That said, Libra men can also find happiness with partners from other signs, provided there is a shared commitment to open communication, compromise, and a respect for each other's individuality. The key to a successful Libra man relationship is to avoid confrontation and instead focus on finding common ground and balancing each other's needs. While the Libra man's charm and diplomacy are undoubtedly appealing, he is not without his flaws. One of the most notable weaknesses of the Libra man is his tendency towards indecisiveness. His constant need to weigh every option and consider every perspective can sometimes lead to a paralyzing inability to make decisions, much to the frustration of his partners. Libra men are also known for their aversion to confrontation. Rather than addressing issues head-on, they often prefer to avoid conflict altogether, hoping that the problem will simply resolve itself. This can lead to unresolved tensions and a buildup of resentment, which can ultimately undermine the stability of the relationship. Advertisement Additionally, Libra men can sometimes be overly concerned with appearances and material possessions. Their appreciation for beauty and luxury can manifest in a tendency to overspend, prioritizing the acquisition of lavish items over more practical considerations. Successful relationships with a Libra man require a delicate balance of patience, understanding, and a willingness to compromise.
