Alec Baldwin says he will have Elon Musk removed from the US within the next 24 hours ‘Because he doesn’t deserve to stay’

Oscar nominated actor Alec Baldwin showed his support for Kamala Harris during the elections that saw Donald Trump a winner.

Alec Baldwin endorsed Trump’s opponent publicly.

He spoke to the camera and gave an insight into his political views back in November 2024.

According to Baldwin, who played President Donald Trump on Saturday Night Live, and won an Emmy for it, stated that Harris would lead the country better than her political opponent.

“Today is Sunday, two more days is the election – I think nearly all of us know what’s at stake,” he said back in the day. “People say, ‘Oh, the future of the country is at stake,’ and that might be true, but what’s at stake is the next four years.

“In terms of certain problems we have with – yes, the border and yes, what our military is gonna be asked to do and what we’re gonna pay for that – but the environment is the most important thing to me right now, because you can’t undo it”

Alec Baldwin then made some comments about the Tesla and SpaceX owner, who supported Trump’s political campaign with millions of dollars and earned himself the position of the leader of the government efficiency initiative known as DOGE.

“Elon Musk comes up with ideas which are apparently great ideas, people love their Teslas; Elon Musk comes up with ideas but none that I know of are going to solve our environmental problem,” Baldwin said. “Maybe the Musks of the world could turn their attention toward solving those problems on a grand scale, that would be great.”

The actor stated that Harris’ views on environmental issues were better than those of Trump.

Allegedly, Baldwin now threatens to discover Musk’s secrets, saying the tech billionaire doesn’t deserve to stay in the country. However, no reliable media has confirmed this to be true.

My daughter found a picture in her dad’s suitcase – It made me faint

My husband was finally getting home after the long business trip, and I was looking forward to a nice family dinner. The entire house smelled of homecooked food, the table was all set, and the coziness of our lovely home only added to the beauty of that evening – which soon turned into a nightmare.

“Honey, I’m home,” Jack yelled from the front door. And before I could get downstairs, our 5-year-old daughter was already all over her dad’s suitcase, looking for “tiny” treasures and asking “Dad, what did you get me?”

Jack was too exhausted to be able to play with Emma, who couldn’t stop bouncing around her dad’s suitcase in excitement.

And then, she came running to me. “Mom, look what I’ve found.”

I was oblivious of the tiny pictures she had in her tiny hand, but when I took a closer look I realized it was an ultrasound. The initials written on the bottom didn’t ring a bell.

When I turned it around, I almost fainted. “Hi Daddy, I’m coming soon. —T ❤️,” were the words written on it.

Never in a million years did I suspect Jack could be having an affair. He has always been so loving, caring, and thoughtful.

My hands were shaking as I was holding the proof Emma found in her dad’s suitcase.

I wanted to confront Jack. But then, I thought it would be for the best if I made him confess everything himself, so I printed a fake picture of an ultrasound with my initials on it.

The following evening, I gave it to him. “Surprise!” I yelled, pretending to be excited about becoming a mom again.

Jack, on the other hand, was shocked.

“What’s wrong, honey?” I asked. “Aren’t you happy? We are going to have another child.”

Jack couldn’t hold it any longer. He looked at me and said, “You know everything, don’t you?”

Of course I knew, but I pretended I had no idea what he was talking about.

Jack couldn’t keep his secret any longer. As tears started rolling down his face, he said, “I don’t love her. It was a mistake,” confessing another woman was carrying his child.

And then, he said, “Maybe we can raise the babies together?”

“What BABIES, Jack?” I asked, furious. “I’m not really pregnant. I just knew you’d reveal your secret under so much pressure.”

Jack did everything to make me forgive him. But I couldn’t. All I could think of was that he was with another woman whenever he was saying he was taking business trips.

The ultrasound picture Emma found in her dad’s suitcase shattered my marriage, but it also made me realize the truth about the man I trusted so much.

My dying neighbor asked me to open a wooden box

By
Monica Pop
-

My next door neighbor, Rebecca, had been part of my life for as long as I remembered. She wasn’t just someone living next door, but a loving and caring woman who always offered cookies and never forgot anyone’s birthday.

Rebecca never married and never had children – at least that’s what I had been told.

She was part of my family while I was growing up, while out of town to attend college, and even after I moved to my childhood neighborhood after staring my own family.

“Come and taste these cookies,” Rebecca would often say. “I think I perfected the recipe this time.”

Needless to say, I always enjoyed her sweet treats.

Pexels

Some two months ago, I noticed Rebecca’s health decline.

She became fragile and whenever I insisted she needed to see a doctor, she’d say she was fine, it was just her age.

When she finally agreed to go to the hospital for a check-up, she was told she had cancer; terminal.

My neighbor was only given weeks to live.

One day, she called me on the phone and urged me to get to her house.

“Maggie… please, come. Urgently.”

I ran to her place and saw her in her bed.

Pexels

“Maggie, open the drawer and take out the wooden box,” Rebecca said, “Open it!”

I could feel something unexpected was going to happen. But I did as I was told.

Inside the beautifully craved wooden box was a picture of Rebecca from her young days. She was pregnant. “But she never had children,” I thought to myself. But then, I noticed a tiny hospital bracelet with my name and my birth date written on it.

I froze. “What’s this?” I asked, confused.

Rebecca lifted her head and said, “Please read the letter and you’ll understand.”

The letter in the wooden box was worn at the creases, as if it had been opened and refolded countless times over the years.

In it, Rebecca wrote of her love for me. She wrote that she became pregnant at very early age and couldn’t take care of a baby herself. And then she met my parents, a wonderful couple who couldn’t have children on their own.

Pexels

She decided to give me up for adoption, but on one condition, to moved next door and see me grow.

I couldn’t believe what I was reading. When I turned to Rebecca, I saw tears rolling down her face.

It was then that I understood why she was always there and why she took care of me throughout all those years.

Rebecca wrote that she cherished every moment spent with me, even from a distance.

She asked me to forgive her, and I did. She was a kind woman who did what she thought was the best for me, and yet, she remained part of my life.

Unfortunately, Rebecca died the following day.

Her funeral was small, but everyone from the neighborhood attended it.

Pexels

There, I stood by the two people who raised me, saying the final goodbye to the woman who gave me life.

Following the funeral, my mom and dad shared stories of how Rebecca would often stop by after I went to bed just to stay by my side and see me sleeping. They told me she loved me unconditionally, and even helped them financially, but they never said anything because she made them promise to keep it a secret.

I wasn’t mad at my birth mom. On the contrary, I was thankful for everything she had done for me, sacrificing her life to watch me grow and be there for every milestone I’ve ever reached, being happy for every success of mine while watching from the distance.

The wooden box she gave me contained more letters that I re-read whenever I think of that incredible woman.

Alarmed Americans express their worries as Donald Trump targets a popular medication

By
Monica Pop
-

One of the missions of the “Make America Healthy Again” platform set by the newly appointed Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is addressing childhood chronic diseases.

President Donald Trump signed a new executive order relating to this issue that according to the White House affected 30 million children in 2022 only.

“Autism spectrum disorder now affects 1 in 36 children in the United States — a staggering increase from rates of 1 to 4 out of 10,000 children identified with the condition during the 1980s.  Eighteen percent of late adolescents and young adults have fatty liver disease, close to 30 percent of adolescents are prediabetic, and more than 40 percent of adolescents are overweight or obese,” the White House writes.

They relate some of these issues with the increased prescription of medications.

Reuters via BBC

As reported by MedPage Today, RFK Jr. will address the causes of childhood chronic diseases based on “unbiased science.” 

He said, “We will convene representatives of all viewpoints to study the causes for the drastic rise in chronic disease.

“Some of the possible factors we will investigate were formally taboo or insufficiently scrutinized — the childhood vaccine schedule; electromagnetic radiation; glyphosate; other pesticides; ultra-processed foods… SSRIs [selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors] and other psychiatric drugs; PFAS [per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances]; PFOA [perfluorooctanoic acid]; microplastics — nothing is going to be off-limits.”

In his speech to his employees RFK Jr. said, “Let’s use protocols that we all agree on in advance and not alter the outcomes of studies when they’re halfway through [because] they look inconvenient. Let’s all depoliticize these issues and reestablish a common ground for action, and renew the search for existential truths with no political impediments and no preconceptions.”

The executive order Trump signed says the aim is to “re-direct our national focus, in the public and private sectors, toward understanding and drastically lowering chronic disease rates and ending childhood chronic disease.”

The MAHA Commission, which constitutes of representatives from multiple federal agencies and offices focused on health — including the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), has a goal to revise the policies on “nutrition, physical activity, healthy lifestyles, over-reliance on medication and treatments, the effects of new technological habits, environmental impacts, and food and drug quality and safety.”

Further, the Commission is charged with protecting “expert [scientific] recommendations from inappropriate influence” and “increasing transparency regarding existing data.” 

The order calls for the assessment to address the “threats posed” by “over-utilization of medication, certain food ingredients, certain chemicals, and certain other exposures,” as well as examining the prescribing practices for SSRIs, antipsychotics and stimulants.

As reported by The Seattle Times, “several Washington physicians agree with the premise of monitoring prescribing practices” but they also believe that the order signed by Trump may stand on the way of the doctor-patient relationship.

Dr. Lelach Rave, interim executive director of the Washington Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics addressed this issue.

“Any parent who has a child who is struggling with depression or anxiety or psychosis, it’s a scary place to be. And there’s a lot of harm that goes with having untreated illness,” he said, as per The Seattle Times. “Not that you discount the risks of medications because they’re real as well, but there is real risk with disease.”

A 100 days after the order was signed, the new commission is expected to submit an initial report including an assessment of “the prevalence of and threat posed by the prescription of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, stimulants, and weight-loss drugs.”

Critics fear that a one-size-fits-all federal policy may lead to delays or denial of treatment for children who truly require it.

12 signs of low blood sugar people fail to recognize

By
Monica Pop
-

Managing blood sugar is crucial for people diagnosed with diabetes. However, it’s important to note that both high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) and low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) pose significant risks.

Having type 2 diabetes itself doesn’t directly increase the risk of hypoglycemia, but people who take insulin or other insulin production medications may be more prone to low blood sugar.

What triggers hyperglycemia at these individuals are factors such as skipping meals, consuming fewer carbs that needed, or engaging in increased physical activity.

As per NHS, hypoglycemia happens when the blood sugar (glucose) is below 4mmol/L.

This condition is accompanied by certain symptoms. Below, we’ll discuss some of them.

Starting to Sweat

Sudden sweating that is not related to the weather conditions may be a sign of low blood sugar levels. At people with diabetes, these sweats can appear during the night.

Pexels

Feeling Irritable

The University of Michigan states that symptoms of hypoglycemia can mirror certain mental issues such as irritability, anxiety, and worry. This shouldn’t come as a surprise as the brain runs primarily on glucose.

Pexels

Feeling Hungry

The feeling of hunger appears when our blood sugar levels drop and the cells lack energy. While sugary drinks and starchy carbs can boost our sugar levels, this effect is short-lived. Instead, we should consume whole grains, healthy fats, high-protein foods, and non-starchy vegetables to stabilize our blood sugar levels.

Pexels

Nightmares

One of the signs of nocturnal hypoglycemia, as reported by people diagnosed with diabetes, is having nightmares. It is of crucial importance to consult a doctor about the right prebedtime routine to avoid your sugar levels drop during the night.

Lack of Focus

Struggling to focus or concentrate may be due lack of energy that comes from glucose. This can be triggered by skipping meals in both children and adults.

Pexels

Feeling Dizzy

Low blood sugar levels can affect the nervous system, causing dizziness, weakness, and lightheadedness. Also, people suffering from diabetes may also experience headaches if their blood sugar levels drop.

Pexels

Feeling Shaky

Sometimes, in case of hypoglycemia, people can feel shaky because the body releases adrenalin to remind you to refuel it. Feeling shaky after a meal may indicate experiencing idiopathic postprandial syndrome (IPS), a condition that sometimes mimics the symptoms of hypoglycemia.

Affected Vision

When blood sugar levels drop, people, especially those with diabetes, may experience blurred vision, double vision, or “black” spots.

Shutterstock

Slurry Speach

If glucose levels drop below 40 mg/dL, a person can experience slurred speech, muscle twitching, difficulty walking steadily, and emotional changes.

Pexels

Disturbed Sleep

Experiencing troubles falling asleep can be a sign of insomnia, but also of hypoglycemia.

Shutterstock

Seizures and Coma

While moderate symptoms of hypoglycemia can be fixed with regular healthy eating, some of the more serious consequences are seizures, fainting, or even brain damage. As with extremely high blood sugar levels, people with diabetes can experience diabetic coma from hypoglycemia.

Shutterstock

Heart Palpitations

Rapid heartbeat, heart palpitations, and fluttering can be a sign of hypoglycemia.

New coronavirus with pandemic potential discovered in China

By
Monica Pop

News reports show that scientists at the infamous Wuhan Institute of Virology discovered new coronavirus. This raises the question about history repeating itself.

Rumors had it that COVID-19 leaked from a lab in China, and US lawmakers claimed they had seen new ‘credible’ information that confirm these rumors, Daily Mail reported in May, 2024.

Allegedly, the Chinese military conducted experiments at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, from where the virus leaked.

Now, virologist Shi Zhengli led a new research on the coronavirus, published in the medical journal Cell. It discusses the presence of new coronavirus strain found within bats. As per the Mirror, the research states that the virus is reportedly related to MERS, a deadly coronavirus that kills one third of those affected with it.

The new coronavirus, HKU5-CoV-2, penetrates human cells like SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for Covid.

Findings warn of a “high risk of spillover to humans, either through direct transmission or facilitated by intermediate hosts.”

Further, the study states: “Structural and functional analyses indicate that HKU5-CoV-2 has a better adaptation to human ACE2 than lineage 1 HKU5-CoV.”

AP

Researchers discovered that “Authentic HKU5-CoV-2 infected human ACE2-expressing cell lines and human respiratory and enteric organoids. This study reveals a distinct lineage of HKU5-CoVs in bats that efficiently use human ACE2 and underscores their potential zoonotic risk.”

As of now, the potential for HKU5-CoV-2 to spill over to humans “remains to be investigated.”

Dr Michael Osterholm, an infectious disease expert at the University of Minnesota, referred to the reaction triggered by this study as “overblown.”

According to him, compared to 2019, when the COVID-19 struck the entire world, there is a lot of immunity in the population to viruses similar to COVID-19 and SARS.

Before and after photos of Jamie Wilson’s female-to-male transition

By
Monica Pop
-

The process of transitioning from one gender to another is personal, but it can also be challenging, requiring strength, determination, and the ability to challenge stereotypes.

Although societies are becoming more accepting of people who transition, these issues remain taboo in many countries. This makes life difficult for transgender individuals.

Jamie Wilson is a transgender musician whose life serves as inspiration for many people who consider going through what he had gone – transition from female to male.

Wilson, who is a well-known name within the transgender community, not only shares his life story but also photos of himself showing the process of his transition.

Jamie Wilson/ Instagram

“When I came out, people refused to believe I was a man because I had looked feminine for 18 years,” he said.

He started his transition by cutting his hair short and wearing men clothes. Later, he had started testosterone therapy, which takes around one to two years for the results to show. A complete change, however, may require up to five years.

Jamie Wilson/ Instagram

“At first I was scared to come out as transgender because I didn’t give any ‘signs’ as people say.

“I looked and presented very feminine. Not because I wanted to but because I felt pressured to make the people around me happy.”

Jamie Wilson/ Instagram

“When I first came out people tried telling me ‘this is not who you are’ that’s when I realized you are NOT who people think you are…you are who you KNOW you are,” he said.

Jamie Wilson/ Instagram

Wilson’s transition took time, but it also took certain toll, including losing some of his family and friends who didn’t support his decision.

Except for the hormone treatment, some individuals opt for a surgery.

Jamie Wilson/ Instagram

According to UCSF, many of the effects of hormone therapy are reversable if the therapy is stopped. This, however, isn’t the case with the surgeries, which are permanent.

This is why it is of crucial importance to talk to medical professionals about all the risks and get informed about every aspect of the transition process before undergoing one.

Jamie Wilson/ Instagram

Addressing his followers on the social media, Wilson says that “Not everyone has to show ‘signs’ to be transgender. You don’t have to pass a test to prove you’re trans…”

He adds: “And you sure as hell don’t need ANYONE’S approval but your own.”

James Wilson’s transition and his self-confidence are truly remarkable.

Musk calls for ‘wave of impeachments’ for federal judges

By
Monica Pop
-

With Trump becoming the president of the country for the second time, things have heated up. Among the rest, he has signed a plethora of executive orders that correspond to his MAGA agenda. However, his signings of these orders triggered legal challenges.

Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) leader Elon Musk is pushing for the GOP-controlled Congress to create a “wave of impeachments” for federal judges after a D.C. court ordered the Trump administration to restore health data that had been taken offline.

Musk took to his platform, X, to respond to claim of a conflict of interest for U.S. District Judge John Bates, who issued a temporary order requiring the government to restore online data removed from the websites of U.S. health agencies.

“There needs to be an immediate wave of judicial impeachments, not just one,” the Tesla owner wrote.

Bates’ decision came following an executive order from President Trump that banned the government from endorsing “gender ideology.”

He ruled in favor of Doctors for America (DFA) who claimed the removal violated the law.

The president argued that the judges intrude his authority by blocking pieces of his agenda. This triggered concerns of whether Trump and his administration would abide the court rulings, as per Reuters. 

Trump, however, later told reporters that he would abide the rulings but will appeal those that stand on the way of his agenda and Musk’s plans on cutting on wasteful spendings.

“We want to weed out the corruption. And it seems hard to believe that a judge could say, we don’t want you to do that,” said Trump. “So maybe we have to look at the judges.”

Further, Taking to Truth Social, Trump wrote: “DOGE has found massive amounts of FRAUD, WASTE, INCOMPETENCE, AND ABUSE, but even knowing this, a highly political, activist Judge wants us to immediately make payment, anyway. In other words pay, even though you know the payment was fraudulently requested to be made. DOGE caught them – The Judge just doesn’t care. It doesn’t make sense!!!”

NewsMax TV

The case argued whether DOGE and its employees have the right to access sensitive information about millions of Americans. Judge Bates argued that in order for DOGE to have such authority, it needed to be recognized as an official federal agency under the law.

Ultimately, the judge ruled that DOGE does hold that status and it likely qualifies as a federal agency.

Further, DOGE will maintain access to sensitive records from at least three federal agencies, the Department of Labor, Department of Health and Human Services, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Musk posted on X about this “victory.”
