Elon Musk shares a chilling warning: His revelations could put his life at risk

Tech billionaire Elon Musk, who serves as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency as part of Trump’s administration, has spoken out of the levels of corruption within the country.

Mush has appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience recently where he suggested that if he goes deep into the corruption in DC he would probably get assassinated.

“It’s more than just insider trading. The stock portfolio stuff is quite trackable, but it’s a lot more than insider trading,” said Musk.

“The way they’re acquiring wealth?” Rogan asked.

“Correct,” Musk replied after a short pause.

“And what other methods,” asked Rogan.

“I mean this is really gonna get me assassinated,” Musk replied. “It’s like, I’m not lengthening my lifespan by explaining this stuff, to say the least. I mean, I was supposed to go back to DC. How am I going to survive? This is f*****g going to kill me for sure,” Musk continued.

“In fact, I do think like this… it’s like, I actually have to be careful that I don’t push too hard on the corruption stuff because it’s going to get me killed.”

The Tesla owner then explained that a number of lawmakers and big names in politics, like former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, use their insider access to make profits that far outpace the general market, such as the S&P 500.

Musk revealed that during the last couple of years, he has received more death threats than ever before.

As the head of DOGE, Musk and his team have already made recommendations of $150 billion in cuts.

Further, the goal of DOGE is review inefficient and politically biased programs, including diversity efforts. While it can’t enforce these cuts, its suggestions could influence future policies. This comes as the House backs a plan for nearly $1 trillion in federal budget cuts, with Trump’s support.

Many believe that the claims Musk made on the podcast are not only bold but also dangerous.

His comments represent the current state of government and the larger issue – that of the existence of a system where lawmakers and politicians appear to profit personally while crafting policies that benefit themselves, raising serious concerns about ethics and the health of democracy.

Musk and Rogan also discussed the roles of the NGOs, which they believe serve as money printing organizations for the elite.

Obama slams Trump’s tariff plan with blunt eight-word comment

President Donald Trump and his administration have made decisions that sparked controversy not only in political circles but also among the general public.

Among the rest, many of the executive orders Trump signed since returning to the White House have been challenged by certain organizations that claim they contradict the laws.

Most recently, on what he dubbed a “Liberation Day,” Trump unveiled a broad new tariff plan.

As reported by VT, the president’s new policy imposes a universal 10% tariff on all imports, featuring major hikes for 60 countries labeled as “worst offenders.”

In the speech he delivered from the White House Rose Garden, Trump proudly stated: “We’ve been waiting for a long time.

“April 2, 2025, will forever be remembered as the day American industry was reborn, the day America’s destiny was reclaimed, and the day that we began to ‘Make America Wealthy Again.'”

Further, he added: “For decades our country has been looted, pillaged, raped and plundered by nations, near and far, from both friend and foe alike.” 

Among those who slammed Trump for the tariff plan was former President Barack Obama.

“I have deep differences of opinion with my most immediate successor — who’s now president once again,” Obama said at Hamilton College in Clinton, New York on Thursday.

“I don’t think what we just witnessed in terms of economic policy and tariffs is going to be good for America,” he added.

“When I watch some of what’s going on now, it does not — look, I don’t think what we just witnessed in terms of economic policy and tariffs is going to be good for America, but that’s a specific policy.

“I’m more deeply concerned with a federal government that threatens universities if they don’t give up students who are exercising their right to free speech,” the father-of-two continued.

“I am more troubled by the idea that a White House can say to law firms, ‘If you represent parties that we don’t like, we’re going to pull all our business or bar you from representing people effectively.’”

He wrapped his speech up with an eight-word remark that spoke volumes: “Imagine if I had done any of this?”

Trump believes that imposing tariffs would make Americans buy more domestic goods.

As expected, some of the countries affected announced tariffs on the U.S.

The tariffs will remain in effect until the president “determines the ‘threat posed by the trade deficit and underlying nonreciprocal treatment is satisfied, resolved, or mitigated,” the White House states.

14 fish you should avoid putting on your plate

By
Monica Pop
-

Ever since we were little, our parents have always told us that fish is good for our health so we associate it with a healthy lifestyle. However, due to the human’s industrial activities, such as electricity generation from coal, smelting processes, and waste incineration, huge amounts of mercury end up in the waters.

Eventually, mercury accumulates in the fish we consume, posing a serious threat to our health.

A 2023 study by Environmental Working Group scientists suggests that “eating one freshwater fish equals a month of drinking ‘forever chemicals’ water.”

Forever chemicals, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), are man-made chemicals that remain in the soil and our bodies for a very long periods of time.

According to CBS, “The total PFAS level in the freshwater fish was 278 times higher than what has been found in commercially sold fish, the study said.”

The FDA, EPA, and EDF offer guidance on safe mercury levels and advise which fish you should avoid.

1. Tilapia

Wikipedia

Tilapia is fish you should avoid putting on your plate because it contains very low levels of beneficial Omega-3 acids but has high levels of omega-6 fatty acids that lead to inflammations.

2. Atlantic Cod

Fishing Booker

Consuming this fish doesn’t have to do with your health, but it is advised to avoid consuming it because overfishing of it over the years has led to high risks of extinction.

3. Atlantic Flatfish (halibut, flounder, and sole)

SFN

Flatfish like halibut are on the “do not eat” list due to overfishing and pollution. A 2014 Oceana report found that U.S. fisheries discard around 2 billion pounds of bycatch yearly. The California gillnet fishery, a major source of U.S. halibut, was among the worst offenders.

4. Caviar

Pexels

The high demand of caviar, despite its high price, places the beluga fish on the list of fish facing extinction.

5. Chilean Bass

Sea bass is fish high in mercury levels and needs to be avoided.

6. Eel

Bradley’s Fish

Eels are crucial for protecting water supplies and play important role in spreading mussel populations that serve as natural water filters but due to overfish their number is considerably lowered.

This places the eel on the list of fish to avoid consuming.

7. Imported Basa, Swai, Tra, Striped Catfish

A study published in the National Library of Medicine showed that a great number of these fish, around 80%, were contaminated by Vibrio Bacteria, commonly associate with eating undercooked seafood.

8. Imported Farmed Shrimp

Shrimp production is associated with using various pesticides forbidden in the United States (except for one). Also, these shrimps are often treated with antibiotics and handling them raw comes with the risk of attracting an antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

9. Imported King Crab

10. Orange Roughy

Orange Roughy’s slow reproduction and harmful fishing methods make it unsustainable, so try to avoid its consumption.

11. Shark

Pexels

Although having shark meat sounds like a real delicacy, these predators’ meat is high in mercury.

12. Atlantic Bluefin Tuna

Pexels

Being the main ingredient of sushi, a well-known delicacy loved by millions, the population of this fish has dropped significantly.

13. Swordfish

Due to the extremely high levels of mercury it contains, women and children are advised to avoid this fish altogether, according to the Environmental Defense Fund. Men are recommended to consume it not more than once per month.

14. King Mackerel

Just like a number of other fish on this list, King Mackerel contains high levels of mercury.

If you love fish and want it implemented in your diet, some species you may consider are wild-caught Alaskan salmon, Pacific Sardines, Atlantic mackerel, Albacore tuna caught in the US or Canada, Alaska Cod, Arctic Char, and Rainbow Trout, among the rest.

What started as an argument over a spot between two students ended in a tragedy when one of them was stubbed to death.

17-year-old Austin Metcalf died in the arms of his twin brother after peer Karmelo Anthony stabbed him on April 2 at an event at Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco, Texas.

Following the tragedy, Anthony was arrested and charged with first-degree murder.

Now, his father has spoken out of the tragedy and of his son, claiming despite what he did, he is “a good kid.”

“Everyone has already made their assumptions about my son, but he’s not what they’re making him out to be,” Anthony’s father, Andrew, told the New York Post. “He’s a good kid. He works two jobs. He’s an A student, has a 3.7 GPA,” the father of the teen accused of killing Metcalf added.

The dad also claimed that it wasn’t his son Karmelo Anthony who started the fight.

“He was not the aggressor. He was not the one who started it.

“I feel bad for the other parents and family, and words can’t explain how both [families] have been affected by this tragedy,” the father added.

Austin Metcalf’s devastated twin brother, Hunter, said he didn’t witness the act of stabbing, but he was the one who tried to stop his brother’s bleeding. Hunter described the entire tragedy as “senseless.”

“I don’t know why a person would do that to someone, just over that little argument,” he told ABC News.

“I tried to help him,” Hunter said of his brother.

Late Metcalf was a student at Frisco Memorial High School described as a “great kid,” by his mother.

“So smart. He had college football guys looking at him to play in college. His goal was to play in college,” she said of her son.

The Frisco Independent School District commented on the tragedy, describing it as an “unprecedented situation.”

They also shared their condolences.

“Frisco ISD shares in the grief of everyone impacted by this heartbreaking loss, and we extend our deepest sympathies to the victim’s family, students, staff, and our community during this difficult time,” the district said.

Motherhood is a profound experience, one that changes a woman forever. It touches every aspect of her life and shapes her personal growth, her relationships, and even her outlook on life.

Nina Tassel’s journey into motherhood is a remarkable one.

This Australian woman fell pregnant at the age of 37.

From the beginning, everything seemed perfect with her pregnancy and she enjoyed every moment of it. However, her belly seemed to grow bigger than that of an average pregnant woman and many people stared at her on the street believing she was carrying multiple babies.

The big belly didn’t raise any red flags since all of the ultrasounds showed there was nothing wrong with her baby.

When Nina went into labor, there was no time to get to the hospital on time so medics came to her home to help her deliver her son.

The delivery wasn’t an easy one. In fact, it lasted 12 long hours during which Nina lost consciousness a couple of times. She endured pain and even cried.

And then, finally, her baby boy was welcomed into the world, stunning everyone.

The reason why this woman’s pregnancy has been exceptional is because she had given birth to a big baby boy that weighted 6 kilograms and was 61 centimeters long.

For a comparison, an average baby is around 51 centimeters.

Australian mom had given birth to a big baby boy that weighted 6 kilograms and was 61 centimeters long.

Doctors believe that one of the reasons why her son was born that big was her gestational diabetes diagnosis, a condition linked to excessive fetal growth.

Luckily, the baby was born healthy.

This story is just a reminder of the strength of mothers and what they are able to endure for their little ones.

Nina is happy she can finally hold her baby in her arms.

As expected, the story of her son made headlines, with many congratulating her on her courage and the new addition to the family.

Are airline companies doing enough to accommodate curvier passengers and ensure their comfort during flights? According to plus-size influencer Emily Jones, the answer to this question is a resounding “no.”

Jones, who frequently travels between Malta, the UK, and Finland, believes the travel industry, as well as the hotels from around the world, should impose changes that would better suit the needs of oversize travelers.

This influencer shares her journeys on her Instagram account, @miss__jones, encouraging plus-size people to get out of their comfort zone and explore the world.

“I want to promote easy travel for people of all sizes and shapes – and make them feel they deserve to see the world just like other people,” she says.

One of the changes she believes airplanes should do in order to better serve larger individuals by creating a a safe and welcoming space for them, is to make extend the length of seatbelts.

“Seeing this being destigmatized, so people can travel comfortably and without the added anxiety, would be a dream come true,” she posted on the social media.

Jones also advocates for more spacious seating options, or at least additional cushioning and adjustable armrests.

When it comes to accommodation, Jones wants hotels to provide large towels and bathrobes in order to create a welcoming feeling to plus-size guests.

As she’s sharing her journeys with her followers, Jones says that the situation regarding larger individuals is indeed changing for the better as more and more hotels offer conditions that make these individuals feel included.

Based on her own personal experience, one of the best places that offer warm and welcoming environment for plus-size tourists are the Seychelles in Africa.

Kamala Harris shares a candid message for Trump supporters as she breaks her silence after months

By
Monica Pop

Kamala Harris has broken her months-long silence, and according to many, she said exactly what most of us are thinking.

Harris, who lost the presidential elections to Donald Trump, spoke of the feeling of fear sweeping across the United States under the current president’s renewed leadership.

In a speech at Leading Women Defined Summit in California on April 3, Harris indirectly touched the subject of the tariffs Trump imposed on nations worldwide as well as his many actions and the signings of executive orders, most of which contradict with the law. In fact, her words referred to the situation that he created with his actions.

“When one person, when a few stand with the courage, that is the courage exhibited by the leaders in this room every day.

“To have the courage to say I feel fear, the courage to say what is happening is wrong, the courage to say that there is a way that we must chart to get through this.

“Understanding our power in the democracy that we still have if we hold on to it.

“Courage is contagious.”

She went on to say, “These are the things we’re witnessing day after day in recent months. And yes — it creates fear. Because many of the things we’re seeing… we knew were coming. I’m not here to say, ‘I told you so.’”

Kamala Harris added that people, as well as organizations, are staying quiet, and that “we are seeing capitulating to clearly unconstitutional threats.”

Representative Jamie Raskin backed up Harris’ opinion during an interview with Jen Psaki on MSNBC. Just like the former vice-president, Raskin believes the Democrats have been wrongly accused of not being vocal enough.

“People kept asking, ‘Where’s the Democratic leadership?’” Raskin said. “But the reality is, it takes time to absorb the full impact of what’s happening. We’re dealing with an all-out attempt at authoritarian control, the purging of federal workers — attacks on every front.”

He added that the Democrats are standing their ground. “Now, everyone is in a fighting mood.”

Following her loss of the elections, Harris has kept a low profile, but she’s now again stepping into the spotlight.

According to The Grio, she’s considering running for California governor in 2026.

6 types of foods that negatively affect your thyroid

By
Monica Pop
-

The thyroid is a small butterfly-shaped gland in the neck that is located in front of the trachea. It serves the function of releasing hormones that control the metabolic system, or the process of how the body transforms the food we consume into energy. It also releases hormones affecting the heart rate, the body temperature, brain development, mental activity, fertility, and more.

When the thyroid doesn’t function properly, it affects the entire body.

Most common conditions that can affect the thyroid are:

  • Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid).
  • Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid).
  • Goiter (enlarged thyroid).
  • Thyroid cancer.

Although the diseases related to the thyroid are often not preventable because they are related to genetics or autoimmune diseases, one can still prevent thyroid problems related to iodine excess or deficiency.

In general, there are certain foods that can negatively affect the work of the thyroid.

1. Soy and Soy-Based Products

There have been plenty of discussions regarding the negative effects of isoflavones – a compound found in soy products – on the work of this gland. In fact, isoflavones affect the body’s ability to absorb iodine and thyroid medications.

2. Raw Cruciferous Vegetables

Pexels

Just like the soy products, a compound found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and kale – goitrogens – can reduce iodine absorption.

3. Gluten

Pexels

Those suffering from autoimmune diseases, including Hashimoto’s – a form of autoimmune thyroiditis that causes hypothyroidism – should avoid gluten because it triggers inflammation and immune system flare-ups.

4. Refined Sugar

Pexels

Refined sugar should be avoided by everyone. Among the rest, its consumption causes inflammation, increases insulin resistance, and can worsen symptoms of hypothyroidism such as weight gain, mood swings, and brain fog.

5. Processed and High-Sodium Foods

Pexels

Processes foods are high in sodium, something people who suffer from hypothyroidism should avoid.

Hypothyroidism increases a person’s risk for high blood pressure and sodium consumption only further increases the risk.

6. Coffee (especially having it right after taking medications)

Pexels

Who doesn’t enjoy a cup of fresh coffee? I guess most people love it, but those who take medications for thyroid conditions should avoid having coffee a few hours after taking medications because it reduces the medications’ absorption for 60%. It also diminishes the effects of the medications and slows down the process of recovery.

On the other hand, foods that are believed to help maintain a healthy thyroid are fatty fish rich in Omega-3 such as salmon and sardines, eggs, nuts and seeds, seaweed, and fruits rich in antioxidants such as berries, apples, and kiwi.
