It is common knowledge that our health and overall well-being depend heavily on our lifestyle. Having said that, the habits and routines we develop over the years can either improve or worsen our quality of life.
According to experts, four common morning habits most of us have can increase the risk of a stroke.
A stroke is when blood stops flowing to a part of your brain, as explained by NHS. It can affect the speech and the movement, and often, it takes a lot of time for the person to recover. As it represents a life-threatening condition, it requires urgent medical help.
One of the things to avoid doing in the morning is jumping out of bed abruptly. The reason is that when we get out of the bed suddenly, it can cause a sudden spike in blood pressure, putting extra strain on the arteries.
Dr. Nguyen Xuan Quang from the Military Medical Academy explains that during sleep our parasympathetic nervous system dominates, which means the heart rate is slower and the blood pressure is lower.
He suggests staying in bed for a minute or two after waking up.
While many of us love having coffee first thing in the morning, health experts suggest avoid doing that because the caffeine in our favorite beverage raises blood pressure temporarily. This is especially risky for people with hypertension.
Instead, have a glass of water first to hydrate your body and wait for a while for the body to stabilize after the night’s rest before indulging in a cup of fresh coffee.
Further, experts advise against skipping breakfast because it can lead to a drop in blood sugar levels and increase the risk of a stroke.
Lastly, don’t take hot showers first thing in the morning because it can cause a sudden drop of the blood pressure. The heat of the water dilates the blood vessels which can also cause dizziness.

Many of the executive orders President Donald Trump signed since taking office for the second time have caused a stir.
Most recently, his administration signed the order for 238 supposed criminals – American immigrants – to be transferred to what is known as the “world’s worst prison” in El Salvador.
The decision was made even after a federal judge ruled against the order.
Namely, the current administration claimed that at the time of the judge’s ruling, the plane carrying the immigrants was already in international airspace.

US is expected to pay the government of President Nayib Bukele $6 million for one year of services.
It was revealed that among those deported to the “world’s worst prison,” The Center for Terrorism Confinement (CECOT), was a teen, 19, with no prior criminal record.
Namely, Merwil Gutiérrez was not the person intended to be arrested, and despite the mistake, which the administration confessed making, the teen was sent to El Salvador.
His devastated father, Wilmer Gutiérrez, is now searching for answers.

“I feel like my son was kidnapped. I’ve spent countless hours searching for him, going from one precinct to another, speaking with numerous people who kept referring me elsewhere,” he told Documented. “Yet, after all this, no one has given me any information or provided a single document about his case.”
At the time of his arrest on February 24, Gutiérrez was with friends in front of his apartment.
“The officers grabbed him and two other boys right at the entrance to our building,” Wilmer added.
As reported by People, William Parra, an immigration attorney from Inmigración Al Día, said, “Merwil was detained for hanging out with friends and was at the wrong place at the wrong time. ICE was not looking for him, nor is there any evidence whatsoever that Merwil was in any gang.”

“The officers grabbed him and two other boys right at the entrance to our building,” the dad recalled. “One said, ‘No, he’s not the one,’ like they were looking for someone else. But the other said, ‘Take him anyway.'”
The father and son arrived in the States in 2023, running from the dictatorship of Nicolás Maduro.
Further, the father of the teen deported to the “world’s worst prison” says he feels like his son had been kidnapped. So far, he hasn’t been given any answers.
“I could have understood if he’d been sent back to Venezuela,” he said. “But why to a foreign country he’s never even been to?”

Since the start of January, the number of people affected by the coronavirus has doubled, urging experts to issue warnings.
According to data released by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), the “positivity rate” increased from 4.2 to 4.5% in the week ending Sunday, April 6, with the number of people testing positive in England rising by 7%.
In comparison, at the start of the year, the positivity rate was 2.2%.
The UK Health Security Agency stated that those who received the vaccine against the coronavirus had a more than 40% lower chance of being hospitalized with COVID-19 that the unvaccinated.
“Seasonal changes and increased indoor social mixing can contribute to the spread, much like we see with other respiratory viruses,” said Dr. Wylie. “Common symptoms include a sore throat, cough, congestion, fatigue, and sometimes a fever or loss of taste or smell, though the latter is less frequent now.”
Around 7.5 million people in England are eligible for the NHS spring booster vaccine, which will be available from April 1 to June 17.
Dr. Wylie has issued an alert to the residents who are most at risk, including the unvaccinated, those with compromised immune system, and those aged 75 and above.

King Charles holds the record of longest-serving monarch-in-waiting in British history, surpassing Edward VII’s record of 59 years. At the same time, he’s the eldest person to be crowned king in Britain.
When he witnessed his mother becoming the head of the monarchy, King Charles was a three-year-old boy. Back then, he was totally unaware that one day he would be the one overtaking the monarchy.
That day arrived with the passing of his mother, late Queen Elizabeth II, who ruled the country for over 70 years. Her reign spanned 14 US presidencies, from Truman to Joe Biden, and met all but one.
Last year, King Charles disclosed with the public his cancer diagnosis, sharing that he’s been receiving treatments in London.

After a short period of being out of the spotlight, he has again returned to his royal duties his wife and his older son performed during his absence from public life.
As the public speculated about his health condition, many raised the question of his possible abdication.
In December of last year, a source close to the monarch told Woman’s Daythat Charles has long ago “came to terms” with the fact that he won’t be ruling the country for many years.
“He’s a lot weaker and tires easily, and doctors are begging him to slow down,” the source said, adding that the monarch contemplates over whether it’s noble or not to abdicate.
“Charles will have been told worst and best-case scenarios in terms of his health, but it’s clear some of his royal priorities have had to be sidelined.”
He and William, however, did discuss the future.

“As devastating as it’s been, he’s had to step away from some of his plans or leave them to William. He has no choice,” the source said. “Cancer has changed him, made him reassess what’s important, and there’s no one he’d rather spend his time with than Camilla. Stepping aside could be what gives him more time with her.”
Royal commentator Sally Bedell Smith told People that King Charles has to “accept limitations” during his cancer treatment.
“Although the King is carrying out his duties with typical determination, he has had to accept limitations during his cancer treatment,” Bedell Smith said. “As a result, William has been taking on more responsibilities, and he and Kate have been preparing for their future roles sooner than they would have expected.”

According to experts, “abdication would be a significant departure from all tradition.”
Hilary Fordwich, a royal expert, argued with Fox News that when the last time a monarch abdicated, Queen Elizabeth II’s uncle, Edward VIII, it triggered “a constitutional crisis.”
British royal broadcaster Jonathan Sacerdoti told Fox that it is “unlikely” that King Charles will step away from his royal duties any more than “strictly necessary.”
“Of course, he is not a youngster, and the example of his late mother’s older years shows that, when needed, the royal family can accommodate sharing the burden, if necessary,” Sacerdoti said. “But just as Queen Elizabeth II continued to work well into her old age, and even when she was not entirely healthy, I am sure that the king will want to do the same and keep going as much as is possible.”

“King Charles will never abdicate through his own volition, especially as he has waited a lifetime to become monarch,” royal expert Ian Pelham Turner told Fox News Digital.
Over the last few decades, several European countries have seen their monarchs abdicate in favor of the younger generation of royals.
Most recently it was Denmark, when Queen Margrethe II of Denmark became the first Danish monarch to abdicate in more than 900 years. The country celebrated their new head of the monarchy, King Frederik X, in the capital of Copenhagen on Sunday and the Prince and Princess of Wales have closely followed the events unfolding.
Queen Margrethe II of Denmark announced her abdication on TV during her yearly speech on New Year’s Eve. The nation was shocked because no one expected it. She explained that she believed it was time for her son to take her place. Queen Margrethe II, 83, took the throne after her father, King Frederik IX, died in 1972.

Tiffany Trump, 31, who is expecting her first child with husband, Michael Boulos, threw an extravagant Peter Rabbit-themed baby shower during the weekend.
She reportedly announced that the couple is expecting a baby boy.
Tiffany Trump’s pregnancy was revealed in October when her father, businessman-turned-president Donald Trump, shared the news with the crowd at an event at the Detroit Economic Club.
CNN reported at the time that Trump said his daughter was a “very exceptional young woman” before adding that “she’s gonna have a baby. So that’s nice.”
Tiffany’s child would be Trump’s 11th grandchild.
At her baby shower, Tiffany wore a floor-length blue dress with floral embellishments and posed cradling her baby bump.
She captioned the photos: “1 month,” and added a bear and a blue heart emojis.
Instagram
Michael proposed to Tiffany in 2021 in the White House Rose Garden with a diamond ring that reportedly cost $1.2-million.
“It has been an honor to celebrate many milestones, historic occasions and create memories with my family here at the White House, none more special than my engagement to my amazing fiancé Michael! Feeling blessed and excited for the next chapter!” she wrote on Instagram.
Tiffany also shared photos of the couple’s wedding in November 2022. She wore an Elie Saab gown. The wedding took place at the father’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
Despite not being raised along with the rest of her siblings, Tiffany is said to have a close relationship with the rest of her father’s children, especially Ivanka Trump.

The impact of Trump’s decision to impose enormous tariffs on nearly every country in the world has yet to be felt on the U.S. economy, experts claim.
The president on the other hand dubbed the decision as a “declaration of economic independence.”
He even asked his people to trust his judgement because his politics will ultimately benefit them and will lead to the American industry being reborn.
Critics and experts say the changes to the U.S. trade policy only pushes the country into a trade war with other countries, particularly China.

Kamala Harris, who lost the presidential elections to Trump, made predictions about Trump’s moves regarding the tariffs, claiming his politics would easily lead to a recession by mid-2025.
Now that her predictions seem to be turning into reality, footages of her speeches have resurfaced on the social media.
During the presidential debate in September 2024, Harris laid the bare truth for millions of Americans. “16 Nobel laureates have described his economic plan as something that would increase inflation and by the middle of next year would invite a recession,” she said during the debate. “You just have to look.”
This wasn’t the sole occasion when the Democrat warned of what might happen if Trump wins the elections.

During her appearance on The Howard Stern Show back in November, Harris said, “My plans will strengthen our economy. Donald Trump’s plans would weaken our economy, would inflate inflation, and would bring a recession on by the middle of next year.”
Harris also spoke of Trump’s plan to eliminate the Department of Education, which he did, leading to over 1,300 people to lose their jobs.
Further, Harris claimed that if Trump wins the elections, he would cut Social Security and Medicare, giving tax breaks to big corporations and people with already really high incomes.
According to NBC, “House Republicans can’t meet their own budget target that is necessary to pass President Donald Trump’s legislative agenda without making significant cuts to Medicare or Medicaid.”
Strategist who predicted Trump’s downfall calls his move one of the most ‘ignorant’ in U.S. history
Donald Trump’s return to office for the second time sparked a term that’s been full of nonstop twists and turns. From signing a bunch of executive orders, many of which challenged in court, to sparking major controversies, he’s become a figure you either love or hate. With Trump, there’s no in between, it seems.
Among those who have criticized the work of Trump’s administration is Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville.
Carville stated on several occasions that the current administration “will collapse,” adding later that it has already started happening.
He addressed the rating that he stated showed Trump’s support going from low 50s to upper 30s.

At the time, he stated that this had to do with Trump’s executive orders, as well as the work of the Department of Government Efficiency led by tech-billionaire Elon Musk, most precisely, his recent cost-cutting moves.
During an appearance on The Dan Abrams Show, the strategist said, “It’s collapsing right now. We’re in the midst of a collapse.
“What I have said very publicly is that Democrats need to play possum. This whole thing is collapsing,” he added.

Most recently, Carville “accused” Trump of one of the most ‘ignorant’ acts in US history. He referred to his administration’s decision to impose tariffs on nearly every country in the world.
Trump announced the new round of tariffs, including 125% rate on goods imported from China, dubbing the decision a “Liberation Day.”
Introducing these significant changes to US trade policy, he described his move as a “declaration of economic independence.”
Speaking of the tariffs, Carville wrote in a piece for The New York Times, “In what will certainly be recorded as one of the most ignorant acts of political leadership in American history, the president of the United States has now wilfully damaged the global economy with his tariff chaos.”

“Not only was this an act of economic warfare, it has broken the cardinal rule in American politics: Never destabilize the economy.
“With it, the Trump administration is causing enormous damage to itself – and there can be no more distraction from this naked truth.”
Previously, Trump took to Truth Social to address Carville’s accusations, calling him a “loser” who can’t wrap his head around the president’s supposed “best polling numbers.”

Donald Trump passed an order that required 238 supposed criminals – American immigrants – to be transferred to what is known as the “world’s worst prison” in El Salvador. Among those who were deported was a Maryland father Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia.
He was sent to the Center for Terrorism Confinement (CECOT) in El Salvador by mistake.
As immigration officials admitted making a mistake due to an administrative error. Then, the Supreme Court ruled that Trump’s administration must ‘facilitate’ Garcia’s return to the United States.
US District Judge Paula Xinis said Garcia was seized “without any lawful authority” and held “without legal basis”, in “direct contravention” of US law. She referred to his situation as to a “grievous error” that “shocks the conscience,” BBC reports.

However, to this man’s family’s despair, this seems easier said than done.
Following an alleged meeting between Trump and El Salvador’s leader, Nayib Bukele, it was determined that Garcia’s potential return to US is up to Bukele, who isn’t willing to do such a thing.
“I hope you’re not suggesting that I smuggle a terrorist into the United States. How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States? Of course I’m not going to do it. The question is preposterous,” the El Salvador leader said.
“We just turned the murder capital of the world to the safest country the western hemisphere. And you want us to go back into the releasing criminals, so we can go back to the murder capital of the world, and that’s not going to happen.”

Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia is indeed an immigrant who came to the States aged 14. However, in 2019, a US immigration judge had granted him legal protection from deportation due to gang threats in his native country.
Ever since his deportation to the “world’s worst prison,” Garcia’s wife, Jennifer Stefania Vasquez Sura, has been vocal of his situation and the injustice that has been done to him and his family.
“I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn’t forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home … they miss their dad so much,” she said.
According to The Telegraph, the US government claimed Garcia is a wife abuser, not an “upstanding Maryland” resident.
the Department of Homeland Security revealed that Garcia was handed a restraining order against his wife Jennifer Vasquez in 2021.
His wife, however, claims that she sought a restraining order out of caution because of a previous violent relationship.
“After surviving domestic violence in a previous relationship, I acted out of caution after a disagreement with Kilmar by seeking a civil protective order in case things escalated,” Vasquez said.

Further, she claimed that things didn’t escalate and they didn’t take the matter to court. On the contrary, following the incident, they marriage only grew stronger.
She added that she wouldn’t stop fighting for her husband’s return to America.
