  Is 2,000 Steps Enough? Science Reveals the Optimal Number of Steps Per Day Walking is one of the most accessible forms of exercise — no equipment, no cost, and no special skills required. Despite its simplicity, the health benefits are powerful and wide-ranging: from cardiovascular health to mental clarity , weight management , and even cancer prevention . In fact, as Hippocrates once said, “Walking is man’s best medicine.” More recently, research has confirmed its effectiveness across multiple domains of physical and mental well-being. A study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine even linked regular walking to a lower risk of 13 different types of cancer . ✅ So, How Many Steps Should You Walk Each Day? For decades, 10,000 steps a day has been the go-to goal — but it turns out this number wasn’t based on science. It originated as a catchy marketing slogan in 1965 from a Japanese pedometer called the "Manpo-kei," or "10,000 step meter." Rece...

  Trump Deploys 2,000 National Guard Troops Amid LA Immigration Protests On June 8, U.S. President Donald Trump ordered the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles to control escalating protests against immigration crackdowns. The demonstrations have continued for three consecutive days, with increasing concerns over public order and violent outbreaks. Speaking from Morristown, New Jersey, President Trump emphasized that the current situation "is not a civil war" , but stressed the need for military involvement to "restore law and order." While he has not invoked the Insurrection Act , Trump used Title 10, Section 12406 of the U.S. Code to federalize National Guard troops, shifting control from the state governor to the Secretary of Defense. The President warned of "violent, rebellious mobs" trying to block federal agents involved in immigrant deportations. On his social media platform Truth Social, Trump wrote, “LA will be liberate...

 🇺🇸 Trump vs. Musk: From Bromance to Bitter Fallout – What Happened? Once praised for their surprising political alignment, former President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk are now locked in a very public and personal feud. Once seen as allies in reshaping America’s technological and political landscape, the two high-profile figures are now trading verbal blows and accusations. A Relationship Gone Sour According to reports by The Washington Post and News1 , multiple anonymous sources revealed that Trump has recently referred to Musk as a " major drug addict " during private conversations with supporters. This follows media coverage by The New York Times , which mentioned Musk’s alleged excessive ketamine use during the election season, reportedly leading to health issues. White House insiders suggest that Trump’s growing concern over Musk’s alleged drug use was a turning point in their relationship . The former president has grown increasingly disillusioned with...

 U.S. Automakers Consider Moving Production to China Amid Rare Earth Export Controls The ongoing trade war between the U.S. and China is causing unintended consequences for American automakers. According to a June 4 report by The Wall Street Journal, companies like General Motors (GM) and Ford are considering shifting some electric motor production to China due to China’s export restrictions on rare earth materials. These restrictions, which require special export licenses for seven types of rare earth elements, were introduced as a countermeasure to U.S. tariffs initiated by former President Donald Trump. Despite a temporary tariff truce agreed upon in May, China has not lifted its export controls on rare earths. Key elements like dysprosium and terbium, essential for heat-resistant magnets used in electric motors, are 90% supplied by China. These components are also critical in sectors like semiconductors, robotics, wind power, defense, and healthcare. The Alliance for Automotive...

Bitcoin Surges 7% in May: How U.S. Crypto-Friendly Policies Are Driving the Market In May 2025, Bitcoin rose nearly 7%, driven by a wave of crypto-positive developments in the United States. The growing likelihood of stablecoins entering the regulatory framework and ongoing financial uncertainty have prompted investors to turn to decentralized assets like Bitcoin as a hedge. As Bitcoin hovers around ₩150 million ($105,000), market watchers are asking: Could it break past its all-time high of ₩160 million? 🇺🇸 U.S. Signals Regulatory Embrace of Stablecoins A major catalyst behind Bitcoin’s price surge is the recent passage of a Stablecoin Regulation Bill by the U.S. Senate. The bill tightens rules on issuance, collateral requirements, and anti-money laundering (AML) compliance. This move effectively signals that the U.S. is ready to legitimize stablecoins within its financial system. Stablecoins like USDT and USDC serve as the backbone of the crypto economy, offering a 1:1 peg to fiat ...

According to The Washington Post, Trump posted 2,262 times on his own platform, Truth Social, over the past 132 days—an average of 17 posts per day, nearly three times more than during the same period of his first presidency. On some days, Trump has published over 130 posts, many of them written or dictated by him directly, often late at night or early in the morning.

Experts like Clemson University’s Darren Linvill say Trump's messaging "spreads fro...

 U.S. Doubles Steel Tariffs: Trump’s Two Strategic Motives Explained On June 4, the United States officially doubled its import tariffs on steel and aluminum from 25% to 50%, placing major pressure on exporters like South Korea. The move, just weeks before the reciprocal tariff exemption expires, is seen as part of former President Donald Trump’s broader economic and political agenda. The decision appears to serve two key purposes: 1. Protecting Domestic Steel Trump is aiming to support U.S. steelmakers—especially after approving the controversial Nippon Steel-US Steel merger, which sparked backlash among U.S. labor unions and domestic steel companies. This sharp tariff increase is interpreted as a “consolation prize” for firms like Cleveland-Cliffs, which lost the US Steel bid and are struggling with job cuts and plant closures. 2. Accelerating Trade Deals By maintaining the 25% tariff for trade partners like the UK (until July 9), Trump is incentivizing other countries to speed u...

Elon Musk Breaks with Trump: DOGE Fallout and His Vision for the Future Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has officially distanced himself from former President Donald Trump. In a recent CBS interview , Musk reflected on his 130-day role in the Trump 2.0 administration , particularly his leadership of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) . Musk described DOGE as a "way of life" rooted in small government values but admitted feeling like a scapegoat , saying, "If something is cut, everyone blames DOGE. It's a bit unfair." He emphasized ideological differences with the Trump administration, especially regarding fiscal policies like Trump’s “big and beautiful” tax bill—which Musk said disappointed him due to its massive deficit implications. Although he didn’t go into details to avoid controversy, Musk made it clear: “I don’t want to be held responsible for everything this administration does.” Now, Musk is turning his full attention back...

 Why Tesla Optimists Are Selling Shares — And What It Means for the Stock Market As Tesla prepares to launch its highly anticipated robotaxi service this June, a surprising trend is emerging — some of the company's most loyal investors are starting to sell their shares. Cathie Wood’s ARK Invest offloaded approximately 50,000 shares of Tesla last week, worth around $17 million. The sales occurred on May 27, 28, and 30, even as Tesla’s stock surged 6.9% to close at $362.89 on May 27 — its highest level in over three months. Despite these sales, Tesla remains the top holding in ARK’s Innovation ETF (ARKK), accounting for 13% of the portfolio. ARK has long maintained a bullish view, projecting Tesla’s stock could reach $2,600 by 2029. In a more dramatic move, Gary Black, co-founder of Future Fund (FFND) and another Tesla bull, announced he had sold all his Tesla shares, citing overvaluation. This marks the first time since 2021 he has held zero Tesla stock. He still maintains a year-en...

Elon Musk’s xAI Pursues $300M Secondary Stock Sale at $113B Valuation   Elon Musk's artificial intelligence startup, xAI, is preparing a secondary stock sale worth $300 million, valuing the company at $113 billion (~KRW 155 trillion). The stock sale comes shortly after Musk stepped down as head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under President Donald Trump, signaling his renewed focus on business ventures.     According to the Financial Times, the stock sale will allow existing employees to sell their shares to external investors. This is part of a broader effort, reportedly led by Morgan Stanley, to secure an additional $5 billion in funding through debt financing and high-yield bond issuance.     The $113 billion valuation echoes the value assigned to xAI during its acquisition of social media platform X in March 2025. At the time, xAI was valued at $80 billion and X at $33 billion, following Musk's 2022 takeover of Twitter (renam...
