Rumors that Barack and Michelle Obama are on the brink of divorce have been circulating since early this year. Sparked by Michelle’s absence from high-profile events, most notably Jimmy Carter’s funeral and President Donald Trump’s inauguration, the gossip soon turned from whispers into frenzied chatter when suspicions that Barack was having an affair with Jennifer Aniston began to spread.The couple has denied the rumors, reaffirming their commitment through affectionate social media posts and Michelle’s appearance on the “Work in Progress" podcast with Sophia Bush.For a while, the rumors quieted down, but Michelle’s recent comments on the “Las Culturistas” podcast on June 18 have caused them to surge again.On a recent episode of “The Glenn Beck Program,” Glenn and co-host Stu Burguiere addressed this latest development that’s reignited divorce speculation. Michelle corrected Matt Rogers, one of the hosts on “Las Culturistas,” when he called her “Mrs. Obama.”“We cannot have a real conversation if you’re saying 'Mrs. Obama.' That’s too many syllables,” she said, adding that she’s been trying to get people to call her Michelle since she was the first lady. “Like, I am not that position. I am Michelle.”“I'm always trying to break down that wall to say, we're just all here, you know? And the first thing to do is, like, let's drop that title. That's a little heavy. You know, that kind of changes the dynamic, so I'm Michelle,” she explained.Glenn reads between the lines and suggests that it seems like she’s saying, “I don’t like to remember that I’m married.”“Wouldn't that be a problem if you were married to Michelle Obama?” he asks.On the same day, Michelle said something else that hinted all isn’t well between her and Barack. On her own podcast, “IMO,” which she hosts with her brother Craig Robinson, she told guest Angie Martinez, “I’m so glad I didn’t have a boy because he would’ve been a Barack Obama.”“I don’t think these are rumors anymore,” Glenn says.“Do you actually believe that Barack Obama is having an affair with Jennifer Aniston?” Stu asks.“Yeah, I think there’s a good chance of that,” says Glenn, adding that he estimates a “50% chance” the infidelity is true. However, he’s 90% sure there are relationship problems of some sort going on.“I’m not there ... but I can read the tea leaves,” he says.To hear more of Glenn and Stu’s speculation about what is going on behind closed doors at the Obama residence, watch the episode above.Want more from Glenn Beck?To enjoy more of Glenn’s masterful storytelling, thought-provoking analysis, and uncanny ability to make sense of the chaos, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

Connecticut police said they visited the home of a retired detective at least four times to try to find the missing woman, but the "mountains" of trash kept them from finding her body.Mary Notarangelo, 73, was reported missing in July 2024, and police tried to look for her at her home at Glastonbury but encountered piles of trash that impended their investigation.'There was no path whatsoever. The only way to move from room to room was by climbing over the garbage.'Police said they visited the home looking for Notarangelo three times in July and once in November. In one incident they tried to send in a drone, but it got caught in cobwebs and became disabled.It wasn't until February 24 that workers using a small excavator found Notarangelo's skeletal remains.Notarangelo‘s body was found inside the front door under what was described as "multiple feet" of garbage, clothing, and blankets.Police said the mountains of garbage sometimes reached 6 feet high. They saw dead birds inside of cages and a mouse infestation. They also found one cat in the home.RELATED: Wife looking for Christmas decorations found 'mummified' body of her husband in 'hoarder home' after he went missing for 8 months “There was no path whatsoever. The only way to move from room to room was by climbing over the garbage,” said Officer Anthony Longo.The friend who called police had told investigators that Notarangelo had told him via text that she had abdominal cramps, vomiting, and had fallen down in June. The state medical examiner’s office said that they could not make a determination on the cause of the woman's death because of the advanced decomposition of her remains.Like Blaze News?

What’s an acceptable level of online child sexual abuse, blackmail, and sextortion? How many teen suicides must happen before someone acts? Most parents would say the answer is obvious: zero.Apple doesn’t seem to agree. Despite serving as the constant digital companion for millions of American kids, the company has done nothing to rein in the iMessage app — a tool that now functions as an unregulated playground for child predators. Apple has shrugged off the problem while iMessage becomes the wild west of child exploitation: unchecked, unreported, and deadly.It’s long past time for Apple to confront the truth: Its inaction empowers predators. And that makes the company complicit and accountable.You wouldn’t leave a toddler alone by the pool. You wouldn’t hand your 9-year-old the keys to a pickup. And when you drive that truck, you don’t let your kid ride on the hood. But every day, parents hand their children a device that could be just as dangerous: the iPhone.That device follows them everywhere — to school, to bed, into the darkest corners of the internet. The threat doesn’t just come from YouTube or TikTok. It’s baked into iMessage itself — the default communication tool on every iPhone, the one parents use to text their kids.Unlike social media platforms or games, iMessage gives parents almost no tools to limit its use or increase safety. No meaningful restrictions. No guardrails. No accountability.Criminals understand this — and they take full advantage. They generate fake nude images of boys and send them via iMessage. Then, they threaten to release the images to the victims’ classmates and followers unless they pay up. It’s extortion. It’s emotional torture. And it often ends in tragedy.This isn’t rare. It’s growing. Online child-sexual abuse and interaction are spreading fast — and Apple refuses to act.The statistics are outrageous:More than one in five children ages 9 to 12 have reported some type of sexual interaction online with someone they believed to be an adult;More than half (54%) of 18- to 20-year-olds experienced “online sexual harms during childhood”;There has been an 80% increase in online grooming crimes in just the past four years;In 2024, the public reported more than 5,000 sextortion cases — and 34% involved iMessage.In just the first three months of this year, 38% of the more than 2,000 reported cases included sextortion attempts via iMessage.Why do predators prefer iMessage over apps like WhatsApp or Snapchat? According to law enforcement and online safety experts, iMessage offers “an appealing venue” for grooming — a place where predators can build trust with your child. They identify victims on public platforms, then move the conversation to iMessage, where no safety guardrails exist.RELATED: Is your child being exposed to pedophiles in the metaverse? ljubaphoto via iStock/Getty Images And children trust it. That familiar blue bubble? Apple teaches them it means the message came from a “trusted source.” Not just another text — another iPhone.Apple claims to offer a “communication safety” feature that blurs nude images sent to kids through iMessage. But here’s the catch: The alert lets the child view the image anyway. That’s not a safety feature. That’s a fig leaf.Apple knows exactly what iMessage enables — a criminal playground for sextortion, child sexual abuse, and worse. But Apple doesn’t act. Why? Because it doesn’t have to. The company sees no urgent economic risk. Today, 88% of American teens own iPhones. This fall, 25% are expected to upgrade to iPhone 17 — up from 22% last year.The numbers tell the rest of the story.In 2024, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children identified more than 20 million cases of suspected online child sexual exploitation — much of it sextortion. Instagram reported 3.3 million. WhatsApp logged more than 1.8 million. Snapchat topped 1.1 million.Apple reported 250.No level of child sexual exploitation is acceptable. Not one instance. Content providers and app developers across the industry have taken steps to protect children. Apple, by contrast, has shrugged. Its silence is willful. Its inaction is a choice.It’s long past time for Apple to confront the truth: Its inaction empowers predators. And that makes the company complicit and accountable — economically, legally, and morally.
