This Day in History: , Trayvon Martin Is Shot and Killed.

February 26, 2012.

17-year-old Martin was shot and killed by 28-year-old George Zimmerman as he was walking home from a Sanford, FL, convenience store.

After reporting Martin as suspicious, Zimmerman followed the unarmed teenager despite police dispatch advice to stop.

After the shooting, Zimmerman claimed to have acted in self-defense during a physical altercation.

He was questioned but not arrested by arriving police.

Martin had no criminal record.

His murder sparked nationwide protests, prompting President Barack Obama to say, “If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon.”.

Following a month-long trial, a jury of six women found Zimmerman not guilty

Trump Unleashes Fury: ‘Obama Behind Russiagate Takedown Plot’ | Calls It America’s Darkest Scandal

In a fiery interview, President Donald Trump accused Barack Obama of being the “mastermind” behind the infamous Russiagate conspiracy—a plot Trump says was fabricated to destroy his presidency. Citing newly declassified documents from Special Counsel John Durham’s 2023 report, Trump claimed Hillary Clinton and top Obama-era officials coordinated a disinformation campaign to link him to Russia. He alleged that Obama not only approved the plan but “pushed it,” fueling what he called the “biggest scandal in American history.” Trump criticized Clinton but noted he chose not to prosecute her after winning in 2016—an act he now regrets. The documents, released by DNI Tulsi Gabbard and Senator Chuck Grassley, reportedly expose links between Clinton operatives and George Soros-funded groups, alongside FBI involvement. Trump insisted he wouldn’t interfere with legal proceedings, leaving the decision on indictments to AG Pam Bondi. The revelations mark a potential political earthquake in the run-up to 2025. #Trump #Obama #Russiagate #DurhamReport #HillaryClinton #PamBondi #TulsiGabbard #ChuckGrassley #PoliticalScandal #BreakingNews #TrumpNews #ObamaScandal #ClintonEmails #DeepState #RussiaHoax #FBIInvolvement #GeorgeSoros #USPolitics #MediaManipulation #DeclassifiedDocuments ~HT.410~GR.122~ED.103~

Trump Brings Back Brutal School Fitness Test Banned by Obama — Kids Face Push-ups, Mile Runs & More!

President Donald Trump has officially brought back the original Presidential Fitness Test for American public schools. The test, which includes pull-ups, push-ups, a one-mile run, a shuttle run, and flexibility drills, was discontinued in 2012 by President Obama in favor of a less intense health-focused program. Now, over a decade later, Trump says it's time to "make America fit again" — but not everyone agrees. Is this a return to discipline — or outdated physical pressure for kids? We break it all down. #Trump #PresidentialFitnessTest #SchoolFitness #GymClass #EducationPolicy #Obama #ExecutiveOrder #Politics #BreakingNews #FitnessTest #MakeAmericaFitAgain #USSchools ~HT.410~PR.274~GR.122~ED.103~

Trump PUSHES New Nuclear Deal With Russia As Landmark Arms Treaty Nears End | Kremlin Responds [Video]

Trump PUSHES New Nuclear Deal With Russia As Landmark Arms Treaty Nears End | Kremlin Responds

In a dramatic twist to global nuclear politics, U.S. President Donald Trump has signalled renewed interest in resuming talks with Russia to extend the landmark New START treaty, set to expire in February 2026. Speaking before his trip to Scotland, Trump warned that letting the nuclear treaty lapse would be “a big problem.” The New START deal, inked in 2010 by Obama and Medvedev, limits strategic nuclear warheads and their delivery systems. With the U.S. having previously pulled out of key pacts like the INF and Open Skies treaties during Trump’s first term, the possibility of fresh negotiations has stunned many observers. The Kremlin welcomed dialogue, but emphasized that trust must be rebuilt first—signaling that talks won’t be easy. As global tensions simmer, could this be Trump’s move to reboot U.S.-Russia ties—or a bold bid to shape the world order again? #Trump #Russia #NuclearDeal #NewSTART #Kremlin #USRussiaTensions #ArmsControl #Trump2025 #BarackObama #Putin #Medvedev #StrategicStability #NuclearWeapons #INFtreaty #OpenSkies #Geopolitics #WorldOrder #TrumpVsBiden #WhiteHouse #USPolitics Also Read Trump Reaches Silver Jubilee of India-Pak Ceasefire Claim, PM Totally Quiet: Cong :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-reaches-silver-jubilee-of-india-pak-ceasefire-claim-pm-totally-quiet-cong-7807665.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Accuses Obama Of 'Treason,' Without Providing Evidence :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-accuses-obama-of-treason-without-providing-evidence-7807491.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Announces Japan Trade Deal With 15% Tariff On Imports :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-announces-japan-trade-deal-with-15-tariff-on-imports-7807489.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.346~HT.408~
