Jeana Keough’s Tongue Cancer Battle Highlights a Warning Sign Often Missed New

Jeana Keough’s Tongue Cancer Battle Highlights a Warning Sign Often Missed

Updated 16:37 15 Nov 2026 GMTPublished 16:27 15 Nov 2026 GMTMedical experts warn that a sore that will not heal is often the first sign of the disease, but there are many more symptoms to look out forAfter confirmation that Real Housewives of Orange County star Jeana Keough is officially cancer-free just four months after her initial diagnosis, it might be time for a quick DIY screening.The 71-year-old was diagnosed with tongue cancer during the summer after she noticed a sore inside her mouth, but in less than half a year, her friend Jeannine Cecchini took to Instagram on Saturday (November 14) to share the good news that Keough had beaten the disease.It was also Keough's daughter, Kara Bosworth, who first shared her mother's health battle back in July – explaining that she had found a painful sore.“A biopsy confirmed our worst fear: squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue,” Bosworth wrote on a GoFundMe page to support her mom.AdvertThe TV star underwent multiple surgeries to remove the tumor and her lymph nodes before finishing a course of radiation treatment in August.Now, in light of her recent health battle, medical experts have highlighted the warning signs of tongue cancer that people should keep an eye out for.Real Housewives of Orange County star Jeana Keough has beaten cancer just four months on from her diagnosis (@karakeoughboz/Instagram)According to the Mayo Clinic, tongue cancer most often begins in the thin, flat squamous cells that line the surface of the organ.The disease can start in the mouth, which is known as oral tongue cancer, or it can develop further back in the throat, known as oropharyngeal tongue cancer.When cancer develops in the mouth, the very first sign is often a sore on the tongue that will not heal.Health officials note that other common symptoms can include a persistent pain or unexplained bleeding in the mouth, as well as a lump or thickening on the tongue itself.Patients might also notice a red or white patch forming on the tongue or lining of the mouth, or experience numbness around the area.If the cancer happens further back in the throat, it may grow for a while before it causes any visible issues – in those specific cases, the first sign is often swollen lymph nodes in the neck, coughing up blood, unexpected weight loss, or severe ear pain.Squamous cell carcinoma of tongue - ie, cancer of the tongue (Getty Stock)Other warning signs include a sore throat that does not go away, swelling of the jaw, a sudden change in your voice, or a feeling that something is caught.Difficulty or pain while chewing, swallowing, or moving the jaw can also be a clear indicator that something is wrong.Experts warn that tobacco use is the single largest risk factor for the disease, while heavy alcohol consumption also greatly increases the chances of developing tongue cancer.Medical professionals note that cases in the throat have also become much more common in people exposed to specific types of the human papillomavirus (HPV) – the most common STI in the world.To help lower the risk of developing the illness, doctors advise giving up all forms of tobacco and limiting your daily alcohol intake, while visiting the dentist on a regular basis can also ensure a professional checks your mouth for any precancerous changes before they progress.Featured Image Credit: Charles Sykes/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank/NBCUniversal via Getty ImagesTopics: Cancer, Health, US News

Trump Blames Biden After Nationwide FAA Ground Stop Chaos New

Trump Blames Biden After Nationwide FAA Ground Stop Chaos

Updated 17:25 15 Nov 2026 GMTPublished 17:20 15 Nov 2026 GMTIt comes after US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy described the country's air traffic control system as ‘incredibly old’Donald Trump has broken his silence on Friday's FAA ground stop chaos, and he's pointing the finger at none other than Joe Biden.Thousands of flights were affected by a nationwide ground stop across the United States on Friday, and it was later disclosed that the disruption was caused by ageing technology used by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), rather than evidence of a cyberattack, according to statements from the Department of Transportation.Trump remained silent on the matter, with no Truth Social posts or no public appearances. Now, almost 48 hours later, the POTUS is breaking his silence on his social media platform."The Biden Administration was an FAA disaster. Everything they touched turned bad. Big money spent unwisely, making an old and broken system worse than when they began," he penned on Sunday morning.AdvertAirports across the United States descended into chaos on Friday (Photo by Apu GOMES / AFP via Getty Images)"We have the knowledge and plan for the Flight Control Systems, we need Congress to give the money, FAST! Our FAA is doing a great job, and is ready to go. President DJT."In a follow-up tweet, the president claimed that the country could have 'the BEST SYSTEM anywhere in the World' if Congress approves the 'desperately needed money for Air Traffic Control'."If Congress approves the desperately needed money for Air Traffic Control, we can get it built quickly and efficiently. It will be the BEST SYSTEM anywhere in the World," he penned."Much of our current air control system is 50 years old - RIDICULOUS! We have already started the work, but it should be done all at once, not in drips and drabs. Congress must approve. The Biden Administration set it back years! President DJT."Trump's comments come after White House statementA lengthy article on posted on the White House's X account on Saturday, titled 'After Nationwide Ground Stop, Trump Admin Prioritizes Safety, Calls for Full Modernization Funding,' read: "Last night, Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy and Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin briefed reporters after a nationwide FAA ground stop caused by instability in the nation’s decades-old air traffic control systems."The failure stemmed from overloaded 1980s-era equipment, with zero evidence of a cyberattack. President Trump has already secured $12.5 billion toward a full rebuild; the Administration is urging Congress to provide the remaining funding so this never happens again."It went on to explain that Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the disruption began at 3:36pm, when instability was detected across radar and communications systems at air traffic control centres and terminal radar approach control (TRACON) facilities around the country. At the time, more than 3,500 aircraft were in the air.On the control system, he added: “What we have is an incredibly old air traffic control system… The President, for the last year, has been asking Congress to fully fund a full build of a brand-new air traffic control system."Further on, he explained: “We have old switches, old routers. We use 1980s little copper lines. It’s an old system that went down, and went down everywhere. It got overloaded."By the way, none of your networks run on 1980 technology. You all got fiber, state-of-the-art, high-speed networks… But not the FAA.”The White House's X account also posted Trump's recent Truth Social post, along with the caption: "Congress must approve."Featured Image Credit: Tasos Katopodis/Getty ImagesTopics: Donald Trump, Joe Biden, US News, Travel

Tiffani Thiessen Reveals Painful Diagnosis Behind Her Hip Replacement New

Tiffani Thiessen Reveals Painful Diagnosis Behind Her Hip Replacement

Published 22:52 14 Nov 2026 GMTThe Saved by the Bell alumni, revealed she needs a hip replacement surgery after the hidden condition behind her mobility woes came to lightTiffani Thiessen has revealed she is facing hip replacement surgery at 52 after a second medical opinion uncovered the painful root cause behind her mounting mobility struggles. Speaking on the an episode of the Breaking Bread with Tom Papa podcast, the Saved by the Bell and Beverly Hills, 90210 alum opened up about the joint issues currently sidelining her from her usual active routine. “I have to get a hip replacement — I do,” Thiessen shared during the conversation. “I was a dancer when I was younger, which was a good thing, [and] I have a torn labrum, that’s one issue I have. Then, I found out, going to my second opinion, … I have hip dysplasia.” According to the Cleveland Clinic, hip dysplasia occurs when the bones in the hip joint do not properly fit together, leading to joint instability, cartilage wear, and chronic pain. AdvertEver the optimist, Thiessen joked about the diagnosis—quipping that she is "basically a German shepherd"—while pointing out that her childhood dance training and natural hypermobility likely contributed to the wear and tear. “This is what happens. Just wait. You guys just wait,” she jokingly warned listeners. “So, when I was very flexible as a young child has now caused my issue now. I hear the hip replacements aren’t as bad as knee and shoulders [replacement procedures].” Prior to joining Coven Academy, Thiessen was best known for her roles in Saved by the Bell and Beverly Hills, 90210 (Alice S. Hall/NBCU Photo Bank)Sidelined from family pickleball matchesThe discomfort has grown severe enough to force the actress—who shares two children with her husband, actor Brady Smith—to step away from family pickleball games in recent weeks, including friendly matches against her son.“My doctor didn’t say it was pickleball, but it probably is not help[ful],” Thiessen admitted. “I have not been able to play in the last couple weeks ‘cause my hip’s been so bad. He’s actually starting to beat me now. But I do have a bad hip.”Despite the need for surgery and constraints of her condition, Tiffani shows no signs of slowing down ( Raymond Hall/GC Images)Balancing pain with filming Coven AcademyDespite the impending operation, Thiessen has shown no signs of slowing down professionally, splitting her time between California and Vancouver, Canada, while filming the supernatural Disney+ series Coven Academy, in which she stars as headmistress Miss Graves. “I am in the same time zone so that’s helpful for my family, and it’s an easy flight so I try to come home. I never go more than two weeks without seeing my family,” she said of working on location. “It’s definitely an adjustment. It’s not what I love, two weeks is big [but] Mama’s got to work.”Featured Image Credit: Michael Buckner/Variety via Getty ImagesTopics: Celebrity

Greta Thunberg Addresses Backlash After Laughing at Fridays for Future Protest New

Greta Thunberg Addresses Backlash After Laughing at Fridays for Future Protest

Published 18:44 13 Nov 2026 GMTThe Swedish climate activist has responded after facing heat online for appearing to mock her own campaign group in a new documentaryGreta Thunberg has spoken out to address a viral video that appeared to show her mocking fellow climate protestors from the movement she created.The Swedish climate change activist became the global face of a generation back in 2018 when she sparked international school strikes and demanded action from world leaders.At the time she formed Fridays for Future (FFF) - a movement that snowballed into a global, youth-led organization campaigning for immediate climate action.However, the 23-year-old no longer demonstrates with the German FFF with the rift stemming from her opposing views on Gaza back in 2023.AdvertAfter the October 7 attacks, Thunberg came out in support of Palestinians while the German leader of FFF, Luisa Neubauer, rejected the views.Of course, since then the Swede has been detained by Israeli forces, back in October 2025, after attempting to travel toward Gaza on an aid flotilla - mirroring a similar mission she attempted just months earlier, in June.Then in December 2025, she was detained in London while supporting imprisoned Palestine Action members who were on a hunger strike.Greta Thunberg's controversial laugh came during an appearance in a new documentary about the criminalization of modern protest movements (Burak Kara/Getty Images)Now, a newly released German documentary, titled On Tanks into the Climate Crisis, has shown a completely different side to Thunberg than the one we're all familiar with.It explores the treatment of activists and the ongoing challenges facing modern protest movements around the world today, but in a brief scene shot by filmmaker Hubertus Koch, Thunberg is informed of the German FFF's campaigning.Koch said: "I just thought when I came here it's kind of symbolic that on a day where there's a Friday for Future demonstration in Berlin."Thunberg interrupted to ask, 'is it?', before hysterically laughing.She added: "Really? They still do that?"Again, Thunberg burst into hysterics once again before calling for the camera to 'cut'.Now, addressing the backlash she faced, Thunberg released the following statement: "There is a video widely circulating around of me laughing while hearing about a Fridays for future protest in Germany in connection to an interview."For context, this was the same days as we were blocking a weapons manufacturer there, and just found out there simultaneously was a police permitted climate demonstration in a famously white middleclass area by the very same German climate movement who cancelled and 'distanced themselves' from me for saying that Palestinians are humans too and that when we call for justice, Palestinians have to be included in those calls too."Make no mistake; the world IS ridiculing Germany for being detached from reality and being stuck in extremely racist mindsets and tactics while being shamelessly complicit in genocide, ecocide and climate crisis - a conversation many people of colour in Germany have been highlighting since forever."As for what exactly people were saying following the controversy, the internet was divided over what her reaction actually meant for the future of the campaign she started.One user suggested on X: "Fridays for Future was a cult-like movement from the start whose leaders secretly mocked the protesters back then and now openly mock them on camera."While others argued that her amusement was directed at how safe and conformist the demonstrations have become, noting she prefers far more radical action these days.Coming to Thunberg's defence, another user wrote: "The point is that she finds the FFF protest too nice, too conformist and too middle-class."Featured Image Credit: Chris Ratcliffe/Bloomberg via Getty ImagesTopics: Greta Thunberg, Climate Change, World News

Why PopWheels Is Under Fire After 433 Batteries Burned in Brooklyn

Why PopWheels Is Under Fire After 433 Batteries Burned in Brooklyn

See more of our coverage in your search results. A Brooklyn company partnering with City Hall on a publicly funded e-bike charging and battery swapping program is under fire for violating FDNY safety rules after hundreds of batteries it was storing in a shipping container were incinerated, The Post has learned.PopWheels suffered roughly $500,000 in damages after a “thermal event” inside its Fort Greene storage unit at Flushing and Carlton avenues on Aug. 15 “wiped out 433 of our batteries,” the company said in a recent message to investors.No one was injured in what the FDNY described as an “all-hands” fire, but the agency said an investigation found PopWheels violated a safety agreement with the city by charging and storing battery packs in unapproved cabinets.Cyclist in 2024 using PopWheels and Swobbee swappable battery charging cabinets at an e-bike charging site in Cooper Square in Manhattan.

Helayne Seidman for the NY PostThe tragedies prompted the City Council to schedule an emergency hearing for Nov. 20 to demand answers from city agencies, fire safety experts and other stakeholders.PopWheels is only authorized to service Arrow E-Bike brand battery packs, but video obtained by The Post shows Whizz battery packs also being charged at outdoor charging kiosks citywide, which critics say endangers New Yorkers.“Companies pushing lithium-ion batteries and these devices are making millions while innocent New Yorkers are losing their lives in fires, yet somehow their profits continue to come before public safety,” said Councilman Phil Wong (D-Queens), who is leading opposition against NineDot Energy’s plan to open a lithium-ion battery storage site near a Middle Village school.  PopWheels contends Whizz batteries are compatible with its charging cabinets, but the company was slapped with numerous summonses by the FDNY last month at its outdoor charging kiosk sites.PopWheels is only authorized to service Arrow E-Bike brand battery packs, according to its agreement with the FDNY. Obtained by NY PostPopWheels co-founders David Hammer and Baruch Herzfeld insisted in a statement to The Post their safety record is “impeccable” — boasting more than half a million UL-certified battery swaps without an in-service incident — and stressed there was “no charging or discharging” inside the shipping container when the fire broke out.They dismissed the recent FDNY citations as “ticky tack” violations for issues like littering, rodent droppings and outdated fire extinguisher tags, adding, “We are correcting those that apply to us and contesting those that do not.”A video shows PopWheels serving Whizz e-bike batteries at an unauthorized public kiosk at 286 Hudson Street on Aug. 31. Obtained by NY PostIn the company’s memo to investors, it oddly referred to the August incident under the codename “Zanzibar” and noted, “Nobody was hurt. There was no press [and] our relationship with the FDNY is good.” The company also said the blaze left it with a $150,000 hazardous-materials cleanup “insurance won’t cover” and that “losing 400+ batteries effectively froze growth.” Former Councilman Robert Holden (D-Queens), a longtime critic of the city’s green-energy initiatives, blasted the company over the alleged safety lapses.“PopWheels, another far-left woke company that preaches ‘do as I say not as I do’ — like so many of their ilk,” he said. “This self-professed ‘diverse group of entrepreneurs, hustlers, nerds, and bike people’ allegedly endangered New Yorkers with lies about their batteries, and the suckers in city government fell for it hook, line and sinker.”

FAA’s New SMART Tool Draws Attention After Nationwide Ground Stop

FAA’s New SMART Tool Draws Attention After Nationwide Ground Stop

A new AI-supported air traffic system was rolled out to all of FAA’s control centers three days before an extremely rare ground stop halted planes across the US Friday, according to the agency.The new technology — known as Strategic Management of Airspace or “SMART” — was expanded to 22 air route traffic control centers across the country Tuesday, according to the Washington Times.The tool merges about 200 “data streams” — focused on flight paths, schedules, weather and other factors — onto a single platform to anticipate airspace constraints and other issues, the outlet reported.Planes sitting on the tarmac at Chicago O’Hare International Airport during the groundstop order on Nov. 13, 2026.
