Family adopts recuse dog days after losing their beloved pooch — and makes a shocking discovery
It was an unfurgettable twist of fate. A San Francisco family grieving the loss of their beloved dog adopted an 'identical' rescue — only to discover the canines came from the same family. Rufus, a rat-terrier mix, had just passed away when Jillian Reiff came across a picture of a pup on Instagram that looked just like their late dog — with the exact same markings and ears. Reiff wasn't sure if she was ready for another dog just yet, but something pulled her to meet the pooch. 9 Jillian Reiff with her late dog, Rufus. Jam Press/Muttville Senior Dog Rescue 9 Rufus was a rat-terrier mix. Jam Press/Jillian Reiff 9 Jillian Reiff came across a picture of a pup on Instagram that looked just like Rufus. Jam Press/Muttville Senior Dog Rescue 9 The family adopted Ziggy on the spot. Jam Press/Muttville Senior Dog Rescue Four days later, Reiff and her family went to meet the dog at Muttville Senior Dog Rescue and instantly fell in love. 'He felt like a gift,' Reiff told What's The Jam. 'Seeing his happy face reminded us so much of our beloved boy. It brought peace to a house that had been crying for days.' The family adopted him on the spot and named him Ziggy. The hound made himself at home right away. 9 Reiff wasn't sure if she was ready for a new dog after losing Rufus. Jam Press/Muttville Senior Dog Rescue 9 The similarities between Rufus and Ziggy were 'uncanny.' Jam Press/Jillian Reiff Aside from the 'uncanny' resemblance, Reiff noticed that Ziggy had the same habits that Rufus did, such as greeting the kids every morning, pulling a blanket over his head at bedtime and howling like a wolf — which raised her suspicions. Reiff ordered a DNA test for Ziggy and matched the results to the one she had done for Rufus years prior — and the outcome shocked her. Ziggy and Rufus were not just the same mix. Ziggy was Rufus's dad. 'There is no science I can find to explain this, only kismet,' Reiff said. 9 Ziggy made himself at home right away. Jam Press/Contra Costa Animal Services 9 Reiff ordered a DNA test for Ziggy and matched the results to the one she had done for Rufus years prior. Jam Press/Muttville Senior Dog Rescue 9 Ziggy had a lot of the same habits that Rufus did. Jam Press/Muttville Senior Dog Rescue As it turns out, Rufus was adopted from the San Francisco SPCA nine years prior, while Ziggy recently turned up as a stray and was sent to the Muttville Senior Dog Rescue, located in the same city. Now, the Reiffs said their home is full of delight, feeling reunited with their beloved late pup in spirit and in the same home — all due to an Instagram post. 'We have cried many times since last Thursday, this time in unadulterated joy,' Reiff shared. 'The fact Ziggy is here and with us to spend the rest of his amazing life is because of Muttville.'

Donald Trump fan claims she can see US President's face in the sky
A Donald Trump fan in the UK thinks she has found the US president's face hidden in the sky - the bizarre cloud formations, Janet Rose thinks, resembles the American leader's hair A fan of US President Donald Trump was shocked when his face supposedly appeared in the sky. Janet Rose, 60, was outside with her dog when she began to think a familiar face was looking down on her, prompting her to run back inside and grab her phone to capture a picture of a strange cloud formation. Janet, an admirer of the US president, saw the clouds from her back garden in Fernhill Heath, close to Worcester on July 12. She thinks the American leader's hair resembled the fluffy formation in the cloud. "I could definitely see Trump, especially with the flash of yellow hair," Janet told What's The Jam. "The face in the cloud was so distinctive, I popped back into the house to grab my phone to take some pictures. "I wish our government would take on some of his morals and values. I feel the president is a very strong man. I agree with some of his decisions but not all of them. Hopefully it puts a smile on people's faces." A previous Trump-face moment occurred in 2024 when his silhouette was discovered in an orange shopping bag last year. The same year, 79-year-old Staci Kelly saw his face in a loaf of bread. This week, details of Trump's second state visit to the UK were revealed. Prime minister Sir Keir Starmer will meet Trump in Scotland in July ahead of the visit. A Downing Street spokesman said: 'The White House has confirmed that President Trump will be making a private visit to Scotland later this month. Given he is visiting a private capacity, there will not be a formal bilateral but the Prime Minister is pleased to take up the president's invite to meet during his stay.' Police Scotland said it will seek Government help with the 'considerable' costs of the Trump visit. It emerged last week that the force was in the early stages of planning for a visit. The US president's state visit will follow from September 17 to 19, Buckingham Palace has confirmed. He will be hosted by the King and Queen at Windsor Castle and accompanied by his wife, Melania Trump. There had been speculation about whether Trump would be able to address Parliament, as French President Emmanuel Macron did during his state visit last week. MPs will not be around during the confirmed dates, which fall just after they start a break for party conference season. Asked for Sir Keir's view on the president addressing Parliament, the Prime Minister's official spokesman said: 'The Prime Minister is focused on welcoming President Trump to the UK for an historic second state visit and building on the excellent relationship they've had that's been delivering for working people. The dates of the visit are for President Trump and the Palace… details around the programme will be announced in due course.'

‘Did you expect smoked salmon?' Brit slammed for complaining his staggeringly cheap Benidorm fry-up tasted ‘low quality'
A BRIT expat has been roasted by online comments after slamming the "cheapest" Full English breakfast in Benidorm. Louis Grier, who lives in the popular holiday hotspot, tried out the staple fry up for just £3.90. Advertisement 6 A video posted by Louis Grier showing him trying the cheapest breakfast in Benidorm Credit: Jam Press/@thebenidormfanatic 6 The breakfast was advertised at a low price Credit: Jam Press/@thebenidormfanatic 6 The video shows him sat outside the cafe as he orders his low-cost Full English breakfast Credit: Jam Press/@thebenidormfanatic The 32-year-old "Benidorm Fanatic" was stunned when he found a place that sells such a hearty breakfast so cheap. He shared his findings with his 43,000 TikTok followers - although he was less than impressed with the end product. Louis paid a total of £3.90 (€4.50), for the meal, but it failed to meet his expectations. "I visited Marianos, a renowned restaurant in Benidorm," he told What's The Jam. Advertisement "It is celebrated for its exceptional chicken, considered by many to be the finest in Spain, and is also highly regarded as the best take away in Benidorm. "Considering its popularity among both English and Spanish speakers, this establishment has consistently provided excellent food to British patrons for numerous years, and I have thoroughly enjoyed many wonderful takeaway meals. "However, I regret to say that the breakfast was quite unappetising, and I was unable to eat it – it was that bad. "It tasted undercooked and of very low quality. Advertisement "I would maybe go back but only for its famous chicken." The video shows him sat outside the cafe as he orders his low-cost Full English breakfast. Flooding leaves cars underwater and turns streets to rivers as hols hotspot in Spain is lashed by thunderstorms The plate had two pieces of toast, one sausage, two eggs, two mushrooms, a tomato, a hash brown and two rashers of bacon. But Louis called it "gross" and the "worst breakfast" he's ever had. Advertisement However, commenters on his video were divided on the matter, with some voicing their support and others roasting the expat. "What do you expect for that money ? Smoked salmon," one user posted. "Never thought of Mariano's for breakie haha," another said. "What was wrong with it, everything looked fine, that's not a fair review," a third posted. Advertisement But other commenters were in full agreement with Louis. One user said: "That's all I've tried there. "It's terrible, so I've never been back. The place is a dump." "Mariano's has gone right down hill to what it used to be," another posted. Advertisement It comes after a Brit gran was accused of "fabricating complaints" by a Corfu hotel boss after she moaned her stay was a "nightmare" thanks to "no bacon, sausages or chips". The OAP was accused by the hotel of fishing for compensation - and the manager even claimed she had blamed the staff for bad weather. 6 Commenters were divided on the matter Credit: TikTok 6 A social media user comments on the video Credit: Jam Press Advertisement

Charlie Kirk Says He Is 'Done Talking' About Jeffrey Epstein for the Moment
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Turning Point USA cofounder and CEO Charlie Kirk said he is "done talking about Epstein for the time being" on his podcast Monday amid the firestorm of backlash the Trump administration has faced following a memo on sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's death and investigation last week. Newsweek reached out to the Department of Justice (DOJ) via online form for comment. Why It Matters The Epstein case has remained a lightning rod in American political discourse, fueling conspiracy theories and mistrust in governmental institutions over the past several years. The controversy reignited after the Justice Department's recent memo concluded there was no evidence of a client list or blackmail materials, contradicting previous statements. Disagreements and criticism over the handling of the Epstein investigation have intensified from both President Donald Trump's supporters and detractors. The fallout has deepened divisions within conservative ranks, as prominent figures debate the credibility of the government's official narrative and the conduct of officials like Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino. Amid the backlash, Trump has publicly defended Bondi.

(Photo by) Turning Point USA cofounder Charlie Kirk is shown as President Donald Trump, not pictured, speaks during a swearing-in ceremony for interim U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C. (Photo by) What To Know Kirk made his remarks following the release of a joint memo from the DOJ and FBI saying there was no evidence that Epstein maintained a "client list" and reiterating that the disgraced financier died in 2019 by suicide in his prison cell. While speaking on his podcast, The Charlie Kirk Show, on Monday, Kirk mentioned the Epstein controversy: "Plenty was said this last weekend at our event about Epstein. Honestly, I'm done talking about Epstein for the time being. I'm gonna trust my friends in the administration, I'm gonna trust my friends in the government to do what needs to be done, solve it, ball's in their hands. I've said plenty this last weekend. So, if you guys want to see my commentary on it, that's fine. We have escalatory action potentially being taken in Ukraine and Russia. We have tons of announcements happening when it comes to NATO." Kirk was referencing a Turning Point USA's Student Action Summit held over the weekend in Florida. Continuing in the video, Kirk said: "But let me just say this again—everyone knows my opinion about the Epstein thing, the messaging fumble. I would love to see the DOJ move to unseal the grand jury testimony. I think that would be a big win. I would love to see that. And I'm gonna trust my friends Kash Patel, Dan Bongino, my friend Pam Bondi. All these guys. I'm gonna—Todd Blanche—I'm gonna trust them to solve it. Ball's in their court. I think that there was plenty of, let's say, speeches that were directed towards this topic this last weekend. So, we don't need to spend our valuable time on this program relitigating it." CNN also reported, citing three people familiar with the matter, that the president called Kirk over the weekend to express his support for the attorney general amid the strife. Kirk has repeatedly called for the Epstein list to be released, saying it would be "one of the surest ways to rid our billionaire class of the corruption and cowardice that currently plagues it." He also called on voters to pick Trump ahead of the election to ensure its release.

(Photo by) Turning Point USA cofounder Charlie Kirk speaks after President Donald Trump's inauguration during an event at Capital One Arena on January 20 in Washington, D.C. (Photo by) What People Are Saying House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on Monday, while speaking to reporters: "The American people deserve to know the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth as it relates to this whole sordid Jeffrey Epstein matter. Democrats didn't put the Jeffrey Epstein thing into the public domain. This was a conspiracy that Donald Trump, Pam Bondi, and these MAGA extremists have been fanning the flames of for the last several years, and now the chickens are coming home to roost. The American people deserve to know the truth. "What if anything, is the Trump administration and the Department of Justice hiding? What are you hiding? If you're not hiding anything, prove that to the American people, and if you are trying to hide something, as many of Donald Trump's MAGA supporters apparently believe, then the Congress should actually work hard to try to uncover the truth for the American people. "There are only two things that are possible here. Option one, Donald Trump, Pam Bondi and the MAGA extremists intentionally lied to the American people for years about the Jeffrey Epstein situation. That's option one. "Option two is that, in fact ... is reason for the American people to be concerned, as it relates to what information has not been released that could be damaging to the Trump administration and the friends and family of the Trump administration and their billionaire corrupt supporters. And so, they are actively engaging in a cover-up. Option one: they lied for years. Option two: they're engaging in a cover-up. At this point, it seems reasonable that can only be one of the two things. And so, it's Congress' responsibility, in a bipartisan way, to ask the questions and try to get answers on behalf of the American people." Spokesperson for Turning Point, Andrew Kolvet, to Newsweek via email on Monday: "Charlie didn't say he was done talking about Epstein. He said 'for the time being.' He's feels confident the administration has heard the concern expressed by himself, by the grassroots and by the attendees and speakers at TPUSA's Student Action Summit in Tampa over the weekend. He is hopeful a change in approach is underway." Kirk on X, formerly Twitter, on Monday: "This is such a lame, non-controversy. Yes, I spent the weekend talking about Epstein, as did many of our speakers at SAS. Nothing was off limits. I discussed how the communication and transparency could be much improved, how the base wasn't going to just move on, and provided options for ways forward. "Now, I'm giving them space to operate. The ball is in their court, and I'm trusting those in charge, many of whom I know personally and consider friends, to find a solution, which I'm confident is in the works. I will be more than happy to talk about Epstein again as updates come." Kirk then replied with a full quote of his remarks. What Happens Next The DOJ's findings and the Trump administration's messaging will likely continue to influence public and political discourse and opinion. Lara Trump, daughter-in-law to the president, also teased more coming from the Trump administration regarding the Epstein case.
