Michelle Obama reveals why she didn’t show up to Trump’s inauguration

-

Trump took office for a second term and his inauguration was attended by key political figures.

Among those in attendance was former President Barack Obama. However, his wife, Michelle Obama, was not by his side, which only fueled rumors of an alleged divorce.

Also, Michelle missed Jimmy Carter’s funeral, which raised eyebrows at the time.

The former first lady was a guest on Sophia Bush’s podcast, Work in Progress, where she discussed life after her daughters have moved out.

“[Life] is whatever I want, Sophia, It’s whatever I want,” she said, adding that life of an “empty nester” is liberating.

“It’s the first time in my life all of my choices are for me.”

She then spoke of the position of women in society.

“They couldn’t even fathom that I was making a choice for myself that they had to assume that my husband and I are divorcing.”

On the podcast IMO, which she co-hosts with her brother, Michelle Obama revealed the real reason why she didn’t attend Trump’s inauguration.

“It started with not having anything to wear,” she said. However, being someone who owns a wardrobe for any occasion, it was as though she subconsciously stopped herself from attending the inauguration.

“I mean, cause I’m always prepared for any funeral, anything. I walk around with the right dress, I travel with clothes just in case something pops off.

“So I was like – if I’m not going to do this thing, I got to tell my team. I don’t even want to have a dress ready?”

She, however, wasn’t aware how her decision to say “no” could spark so many rumors about her marriage.

“My decision to skip the inauguration… Or my decision to make choices at the beginning of this year that suited me were met with such ridicule and criticism,” she said.

“People couldn’t believe that I was saying no for any other reason, they had to assume that my marriage was falling apart,” the former First Lady told actress Taraji P. Henson. “It took everything in my power to not do the thing that was perceived as right, but do the things that was right for me, that was a hard thing for me to do.”

Days after the episode of the podcast premiered, Michelle and Barak had dinner in Washington D.C. at the Italian restaurant Osteria Mozza in Georgetown.

Inside Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s relationship with Pope Francis

By

Monica Pop

-

Pope Francis’ funeral was attended by more than 250,000 people. The Italian government confirmed the presence of over 100 foreign delegations.

Among the world leaders who attended the funeral of the first pope from Latin-America was Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his wife Olena.

The two sat in the front row following an exception from the strict rules and traditions regarding seating. Matteo Bruni, director of the Holy See Press Office, told The Telegraph that Zelenskyy and his wife filled a “vacant place.”

The outfit Zelenskyy wore for Pope Francis’ funeral wasn’t a dark suit accompanied by a long black tie and a black button on the left side of the jacket, as advised. Instead, he wore a tailored military-style field jacket.

The Ukrainian leader hasn’t worn a suit since Russia went into war with his country three years ago. He also didn’t wear a suit during his meeting with Donald Trump at the Oval Office, a topic touched by reporter who criticized Zelenskyy for wearing a military outfit for such a formal meeting.

“I will wear costume after this war will finish,” he replied.

Zelenskyy paid his tributes to Pope Francis despite Ukrainian officials feeling that the Vatican had not done enough to support Ukraine.

In March 2024, Pope Francis triggered criticism when he said Ukraine should negotiate and end the war by showing the courage “the courage to raise the white flag.”

“The strongest one is the one who looks at the situation, thinks about the people, and has the courage of the white flag, and negotiates,” Pope Francis said. “When you see that you are defeated, that things are not going well, you have to have the courage to negotiate.”

Ukraine firmly rejected the pope’s proposal, with the country’s Vatican ambassador comparing it to appeasing Hitler, and Zelenskyy later addressed the issue without naming the pope.

“They are on the frontline, protecting life and humanity, supporting with prayer, conversation, and deeds,” Zelenskyy said. “This is what the church is – it is together with people, not two-and-a-half thousand kilometres away somewhere, virtually mediating between someone who wants to live and someone who wants to destroy you.”

Vatican then said that when he spoke of a “white flag,” Pope Francis indicated “a truce reached with the courage of negotiation.”

In December, during a mass, Pope Francis received backlash once again when he called Ukraine and Russia “brother.”

Two months before his passing, the pontiff called the war between the two countries “painful and shameful.”

“As I renew my solidarity with the martyred Ukrainian people, I invite you to remember the victims of all armed conflicts and to pray for the gift of peace in Palestine, Israel, and throughout the Middle East, in Myanmar, in Kivu, and in Sudan,” Pope Francis said.

Ukraine has accused the pope of not doing enough to support their country. They also claimed he hadn’t condemned Russia for the invasion.

An unnamed official told AFP that Vatican and Pope Francis showed an “absolute ignorance of this part of the world.”

Despite the criticism, the Ukrainian official showed gratitude for Vatican’s efforts in mediating the return of Ukrainian children, taken from occupied parts of the country to Russia, as well as in prisoner exchanges.

Following Pope Francis’ passing, Zelenskyy paid tribute on his and on the behalf of the Ukrainian people.

“I met with members of the Ukrainian Council of Churches and Religious Organizations. Yesterday, we all received the sorrowful news of the passing of Pope Francis. My condolences. We remember his prayers for peace in Ukraine,” Zelenskyy wrote.

“Our state will be represented in Rome at the farewell ceremony this coming Saturday. This is now the week following Easter, yet every day brings Russian shelling and strikes. We all believe that this Easter season can provide an opportunity to take the necessary steps toward silence and peace. A real ceasefire is needed, as is a lasting and solid peace. Ukraine needs the support of religious communities — spiritual diplomacy, the diplomacy of values, always helps. This was the central focus of our meeting. It is important to continue engaging with our international partners”.

The President of Ukraine concluded, “I thank the churches and religious organizations for every achievement in advocating for Ukraine, for their prayers, and for the support they have given to our people throughout the entire war.”

Robert De Niro’s reaction after his child comes out as transgender

By

Monica Pop

-

Actor Robert De Niro is a proud father of seven children whom he shares with four different women. He and Tiffany Chen welcomed the newest addition to the family in April 2023, when the actor was 79.

Recently, one of his children came out as transgender at 29, and his heartwarming response shows the depth of his love and support as a father.

Airyn, born in 1995 while De Niro was in a relationship with Toukie Smith, came out as transgender in an April interview with Them magazine.

Speaking of her transition to a woman, De Niro’s transgender child said, “It just felt right. I feel like I’m meant to be doing this.”

Despite being a child of a Hollywood icon, Airyn has spent most of her life out of the spotlight. She only opened up of her transition after media outlets spotted her with long pink hair and made headlines.

“Obviously no parent is perfect, but I am grateful that both my parents agreed to keep me out of the limelight. They wanted it very private,” she told Them. “They have told me they wanted me to have as much of a normal childhood as possible.”

Airyn further revealed that she had started hormonal therapy back in November.

“Trans women being honest and open, especially [in] public spaces like social media and getting to see them in their success… I’m like, you know what? Maybe it’s not too late for me. Maybe I can start,” she said.

Her dad was clear about his feelings for her after her revelation and said he didn’t know why anyone would question his feelings for her.

“I loved and supported Aaron as my son, and now I love and support Airyn as my daughter. I don’t know what the big deal is,” he told People in a statement.

The actor added: “I love all my children.”

De Niro’s child came out as transgender during a time when Trump’s administration is banning expression of “gender ideology.”

“I’d want to hopefully be an inspiration for at least one other person like me who is Black, who is queer, who’s not a size extra small,” she told Them.

“I’d want to see more trans women, more Black women who are maybe bigger-bodied or don’t fit the mold of super thin or heroin chic.”

Oncologist reveals the first sign they notice in most cancer patients

By

Monica Pop

-

Receiving a cancer diagnosis comes with fear and uncertainty. It is the moment when the person diagnosed with this complex disease feels like their entire world has turned upside down. Depending on how advanced the cancer is, patients face treatments and often extended hospital stays.

Dr Leigh Erin Connealy, MD, the founder of the Center For New Medicine in Irvine, California, shared some insights from the lives of patients diagnosed with cancer.

Dr Connealy, who is also the author of the book The Cancer Revolution, which focuses on a “ground-breaking program to reverse and prevent cancer,” shared on TikTok the one thing she noticed in more cancer patients.

“A common theme I find in cancer patients regularly is that they have usually suffered some very stressful event,” she explained. “It could be extreme work conditions, it may be a child, might be a parent, might be a divorce.

“But they usually have gone under some extreme stress, which we know affects the whole hypothalamic pituitary axis (HPA) and the cortisol production.”

HPA is a communication system between three organs and crucial for your body’s stress management, My Cleveland Clinic explains. “It consists of cells that release hormones into your blood (via your endocrine system) in response to nervous system stimulation.”

Cortisol is the body’s main stress hormone that works with certain parts of your brain to control your mood, motivation, and fear.

“Extreme cortisol production contributes to the rate cancer grows and proliferates,” Dr Connealy said in her video seen by over 2 million people.

In the caption, she wrote, “New research suggests that high cortisol and stress hormones play a key role in the development of cancer, metastasis, and increase the risk of recurrence.

“An excess of these hormones may be directly carcinogenic by suppressing immune function, promoting inflammation, and inhibiting normal cell function. Treating and mitigating stress should be a top priority when treating cancer.

“Stress hormones are absolutely necessary. They enable the body to respond effectively to stressful situations and ensure our survival.”

Common household chemical linked to over 350,000 deaths

By

Monica Pop

-

An alarming new study showed a link between a common household chemical used to make plastic more pliable and heart disease fatalities — more than 350,000 a year.

This chemical, di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), is found in a huge selection of household items, including detergents, shampoo bottles, garden hoses, wallpapers, plastic toys, and various food packaging. Also, in most cleaning products, wire and cable coatings, and even in medical products such as IV bags and tubing, blood bags, and catheters. The truth is, the list is so long, it can take a day to read.

The 2018 study by the NYU Langone Health in New York, US, examined the deaths of men and women aged between 55 and 64 — age group most at-risk of heart disease — and discovered that 13% of them were linked to exposure to this common household chemical.

“The past decade has presented a new and previously unrecognised risk for cardiovascular disease: exposure to plastic polymers and their chemical additives,” the researchers wrote in the journal eBiomedicine.

“Of particular concern are phthalates, particularly one class of DEHP, which are used to soften polyvinylchloride (PVC) plastics.”

Study lead author Sara Hyman, an associate research scientist at NYU Grossman School of Medicine said, “By highlighting the connection between phthalates and a leading cause of death across the world, our findings add to the vast body of evidence that these chemicals present a tremendous danger to human health.”

In fact, DEHP and other phthalates have long been associated with a range of health issues, including cancer, obesity, diabetes, and reproductive problems.

The research in question now links DEPH to inflammation of the arteries, which increases the risk of heart disease and heart attack.

Researchers also discovered that Middle East, South Asia, East Asia, and the Pacific face higher exposures to this so called “everywhere chemical,” due to weaker manufacturing restrictions than in the West.

They urge for regulations that would limit the usage of DEPH globally.

Missing Missouri teen located hundreds of miles from home

By

Monica Pop

-

A Missouri teen who went missing in December was located hiding in the closet of a registered s*x offender in Colorado, 700 miles away from home.

The teen managed to help police locate her after she was able to send a message on Instagram. From the moment of her disappearance until her rescue, her social media accounts had been inactive.

She was reported missing by her father when the school called him on December 6 to inform him she missed classes that day.

When she was able to access her Instagram account four months after vanishing, investigators were able to track down the IP address where the account was logged into.

When they arrived at the door of 44-year-old registered sex offender Maximilian Bondrescu, in Fort Collins, just outside Denver, on April 15, he denied ever meeting the girl. However, given his status on the sex offender registry, police returned with a warrant three days later. They searched his house and found the teen hiding inside a closet.

According to the Daily Mail, Bondrescu has been “charged with child abuse, harboring a minor, obstructing a peace officer, second-degree assault, and false imprisonment after allegedly locking the girl in a room for extended periods and using threats to keep her compliant.”

Upon her rescue, the teen reported that she and Bondrescu started communicating in November 2024. They first used the app called Boo, but later switched to SnapChat.

They agreed for him to help her run away from home.

Bondrescu rented a car and picked her up from her Missouri home. He then drove her to Colorado, avoiding toll roads.

The missing Missouri teen was found in the 800 block of Warren Landing in Fort Collins, Colorado. KUSA

According to the police, the girl wore and mask and sunglasses on the rare occasions she was let outside. She also revealed that Bondrescu forced her to work for his snow plowing company FoCo Sno GO.

She didn’t have any access to her social media account because he smashed her phone the moment he took her to his house. However, he then gave her one of his old phones, unaware the Instagram app was still installed. It was then that the teen was able to send a message, hoping someone would see it.

Bondrescu is being held on $500,000 bond. His court date is scheduled for Monday, May 5, according to Larimer County Jail records.

Fort Collins Police Assistant Chief Kristy Volesky said, “The importance of the work done by the Fort Collins Police Cyber Crime Unit, and similar units across the nation play a vital role in helping to keep our children safe.”

“Had it not been for the diligent work of these detectives, the juvenile could have continued to be victimized. Our investigators will now work closely with the District Attorney’s Office to ensure justice for this child.”

Poll shows majority of Maine voters against re-electing Collins

By

Monica Pop

-

Susan Collins, serving as the senior United States senator from Maine as a member of the Republican party, has held her seat since 1997, and according to a recent poll, people from Maine believe she shouldn’t be running again in 2026.

The survey, which shows that 71 percent of potential voters do not believe she deserves yet another term, was published by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center Thursday.

Additionally, 21 percent of the survey responders said they would likely support Senator Collins’ attempt to run for the Senate.

Collins has frequently opposed President Trump’s policies. She has voted against his nominees, including Kash Patel for FBI Director and Pete Hegseth for Secretary of Defense, and has strongly criticized his tariff decisions.

While most Republicans oppose Collins’ push to return to Congress, they are not certain who should run for her seat.

A number of Trump supporters criticized Collins for not supporting the president’s political strategies and decisions fully. Instead, she sometimes sided with the Democrats which made it harder for Trump to push through his planned reforms. Among the rest, Collins voted against Trump’s tax overhaul and the changes to the Affordable Care Act during his first term in office.

Senator Susan Collins has held her seat since 1997, and according to a recent poll, people from Maine believe she shouldn't be running again.

Despite Maine’s overall Democratic lean in national politics, Senator Collins has managed to remain the state’s longest-serving member of Congress because of her influence over federal spending decisions, particularly those affecting her home state.

Without Senator Collins on the ballot, Republicans may experience a hard time winning the seat.

Donald Trump under fire for telling huge lie about ‘one of most disprovable data points’ during first 100 days interview

By

Monica Pop

-

President Donald Trump spoke about the progress the country has made under his leadership during an interview with an ABC marking his first 100 days in office.

He made some bald statements, some of which dubious.

Despite receiving criticism regarding many of his decisions, especially those related to immigration, the controversial tariffs, and overhauling the federal government, Trump claimed he made America “a respected country again.”

Sitting down with ABC news anchor and senior national correspondent Terry Moran, Trump claimed the country is doing great. “Prices are down, gasoline is down, energy is down. Tourism is going to be way up—wait until you see the numbers. Tourism is way up,” he said from the Oval Office.

Moran was quick to point out that federal data contradicted Trump’s claim about tourism, showing that tourism is actually down, not up. However, the president doubled down, stating once again that the tourism is doing great and that the real numbers would be out in the months to come.

The National Travel and Tourism Office, a federal agency within Trump’s administration, showed a significant decline in the number of foreign visitors to the US since he has taken office for a second term.

Their data shows a decline of 11.6% of international arrivals compared to the same period last year, with the number of Western visitors going down for 17.2% year-over-year.

Dr. Heather Thompson, director of the Tourism Economics Research Center at Cornell University, explains: “What makes these numbers particularly concerning is that they represent a deviation from the recovery trajectory we were seeing. International tourism to the U.S. had been steadily rebuilding since the pandemic, but we’re now seeing a clear reversal of that trend in the first quarter of 2025.”

Not only Moran, but others also questioned why Trump would lie about something easily proven not true during the interview marking his first 100 days in office.

Among them was the founder of hedge fund Tolou Capital Management, Spencer Hakimian, wondered, “Why lie about the most easily disprovable data points?”

“Tourism is way up.” – Trump

One person commented: “In a few weeks, the data will be too overwhelming to lie about.”

Another added: “He literally cannot deal with reality when the reality makes him look bad.”

A third suggested: “Believes his own rhetoric it seems!”

Moran challenged Trump on immigration, tariffs, and gang crime, and the exchange grew heated at times, with Trump telling Moran, “I’ve never even heard of you.”

Trump and Moran clashed over the widely discussed case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia who was deported to the world’s worst prison in El Salvador along with other 238 supposed criminals – American immigrants.

Garcia was deported due to an error made by Trump’s administration, but he still has not returned home, and as it seems, he won’t any time soon.

The president of El Salvador said of Garcia, after Trump’s administration claimed it is up to him to return the wrongly convicted man, “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.

“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.”

This is the hand of the man that the Democrats feel should be brought back to the United States, because he is such “a fine and innocent person.” They said he is not a member of MS-13, even though he’s got MS-13 tattooed onto his knuckles, and two Highly Respected Courts found… pic.twitter.com/31sNr2k1SK

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 18, 2025

Later in the interview marking the first 100 days of Trump in office, Moran presented evidence suggesting that Garcia wasn’t a member of the MS-13 gang.

Trump, however, pointed to a photo of Garcia having the gang’s name, “MS-13,” tattooed on his knuckles. When Moran said it was photoshopped, Trump replied, “Wait a minute. Wait a minute. He had MS-13 on his knuckles.

“They’re giving you the big break of a lifetime, you know — you’re doing the interview. I picked you because, frankly, I never heard of you, but that’s OK. But you’re not being very nice.”

Throughout the interview, Moran and Trump also clashed over the tariffs, especially those imposed on China, the Ukrainian-Russian war, and over the leaked chat by the Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth among the rest.

Colin Farrell on ‘tricky’ decision to put son in care facility

By

Monica Pop

While we believe in the illusion that celebrities have flawless lives, we sometimes forget that they are just humans, like the rest of us.

Being famous doesn’t mean not struggling and not facing issues. However, when these people who we adore so much open up about their hardships, they help raise awareness and break the stigma around difficult topics.

Recently, actor Colin Farrell spoke of the “tricky” decision to place his 21-year-old son in a care facility.

The Oscar-nominated star opened up about his son’s diagnosis in the past and explained that James, whom he welcomed with ex-partner Kim Bordenave, has Angelman syndrome. It is a syndrome that affects the nervous system and causes developmental delays, among the rest.

While it doesn’t affect the life expectancy, people diagnosed with Angelman syndrome “will need support throughout their life,” NHS states.

Speaking to Candis Magazine, Farrell, 48, said of the decision to put James into a facility, “It’s tricky – some parents will say, ‘I want to take care of my child myself’, and I respect that.”

He added: “But my horror would be, what if I have a heart attack tomorrow, and, God forbid, James’ mother, Kim, has a car crash and she’s taken too – and then James is on his own?”

The actor added that in case of such a scenario, his son would become “a ward of the state.”

“We want him to find somewhere where he can have a full and happy life, where he feels connected,” Farrell said.

Speaking of James in 2008, the actor described him as “nothing but a gift.”

“He’s, as far as I’m concerned, exactly the way he should be.”

A post shared by People Magazine (@people)

In his son’s honor, the Penguin star launched the Colin Farrell Foundation last year. It’s goal is to support children with intellectual disabilities.

He told People at the time: “Once your child turns 21, they’re kind of on their own. All the safeguards that are put in place, special ed classes, that all goes away, so you’re left with a young adult who should be an integrated part of our modern society and more often than not is left behind.

“I want the world to be kind to James. I want the world to treat him with kindness and respect.”

Colin Farrell added that his son has worked so hard all his life.

Expert reveals reason why sleeping without any clothes on in hot weather might be a bad idea

By

-

With summer just around the corner, we’re starting to get used to the hot weather and looking for ways to stay cool during the upcoming heatwaves.

While this is easier during the day, when we can stay under the shade and spend some time under a tree in our garden, the nights can be a bit more challenging.

Now, if you thought sleeping without any clothes on when the weather is extremely hot in order to keep yourself cool, experts warn it isn’t the smartest idea.

Julius Patrick, the lead Sleep Physiologist at Bupa’s Cromwell Hospital in the UK, shared what you should do instead.

“It can be tempting to sleep with no clothes on to keep yourself cool, but this may worsen your sleep,” he said.

“When you sleep naked, sweat actually collects on the body and then remains there.”

He added that wearing light bedclothes is a way better option.

“If you’re wearing light, breathable clothes to sleep in, it soaks up any sweat you have, which can cool you down.

“However hot it is when you drift off, remember your body temperature will drop during the night.”

The expert also noted that you shouldn’t ditch the covers altogether but keep them at handy during the night.

He then added: “A quick rinse before bed can help you cool down, and it doesn’t have to be a cold shower. Some people find a hot shower or bath can help as this drops the core body temperature, helping to promote faster and deeper sleep.”

Another expert, Suzy Reading, a psychologist specialising in well-being, also shared some valuable advice on how to keep cool during the night at summertime. She recommended opting for “loose fitting, airy, light garments in natural fibres such as cotton, silk, eucalyptus or bamboo.”

So, next time you plan on sleeping with no clothes on in hot weather have this in mind.

The internet is weeping over this must-watch Netflix series

By

Monica Pop

-

What to watch next? This is the first thing we ask ourselves after finishing watching a great series, and in the age of endless streaming options, the answer is not an easy one, right?

Well, if you’re in pursuit of an awesome series that people have been binge-watching lately, look no further — just turn on Netflix and search for The Resident.

After getting canceled by Fox and finding it’s way into one of the most popular streaming platforms, this series has captured a fresh wave of attention.

It follows a group of doctors working at Chastain Memorial Hospital — and no, this isn’t just another typical hospital drama.

In the first episode, Devon, a new intern, begins his residency with high hopes, but is soon faced with the harsh reality that not every saved life is a win. He performs CPR on a patient for nearly half an hour, and despite he gets the young woman’s heart beat again, she’s left brain damaged. It’s a gut-punch moment — the first in the series that challenges the main characters and the audience.

The series also follows the main characters’ personal lives, their relationships, and their ups and downs.

The Resident stars Matt Czuchry, who played Logan in Gilmore Girls, Manish Dayal, Bruce Greenwood, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Tasso Feldman and Emily VanCamp.

It first aired in 2018 and ended in 2023.

Once it got on Netflix, it quickly reached the top 10, with people praising the plot and the cast, lauding it for breaking away from the typical feel-good medical drama formula.

“I haven’t put this show down since I picked it up on Netflix,” one fan wrote on Netflix Bangers. “I’m finally almost done with Season 3. Whewwwww.”

“Soooo good! I’m on season 5 now and can’t stop watching!” another added, while a third described it as “outstanding.”

Who knows, maybe Netflix giving it a new life will lead to a spin-off.

Urgent warning after girl is blinded from household product

By

Monica Pop

-

An Australian family experienced a nightmare after their 4-year-old girl was temporarily blinded in one eye by a common household product—a washing pod.

The parents are now issuing an urgent warning for others to be aware.

The little girl, Luca de Groot, was helping her mother, Jodi Lowe, with the laundry when she suddenly bit into a Persil washing pod while mom wasn’t looking.

The pod burst into her face, leaving her screaming. Before her mom could do anything, the girl tried taking the substance from her face by rubbing it, which only made things worse as it got to her eyes.

Jodi rushed Luca into the shower and tried to wash her face as the warning label of the washing pod said to “immediately flush [eyes] with water… and seek medical advice.”

Unfortunately, things only got worse from there, and Jodi took her daughter to the hospital.

Doctors tried to flush her eyes out four times, but failed each time. It was then that they took her to the operating room for an emergency surgery.

According to The Sun, Luca’s condition required a second operation, and then a third one, during which she received an amniotic membrane transplant to help promote healing.

Luca spent 16 days at the hospital, and the sight in one of her eyes is yet to be restored.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Jodi said of her girl, “Her sight in her left eye isn’t fully there yet but is coming back slowly. She has a slight vision impairment.

“It could’ve been a lot worse. It’s been pretty traumatic. It’s not easy seeing your daughter in so much pain with nothing you can do.”

This mom is now urging other parents to be very careful with this common household item, saying that the current warnings on the Persil (sold as Omo in Australia) “are not good enough.”

“I know [Persil] say keep them away from the kids but on the packet it doesn’t say anything about going to a hospital. It just says ‘seek medical advice.

“It needs to be more. It’s not good enough how it is,” she told Daily Mail.

“I didn’t realise the extent of injuries they could cause. You wouldn’t think direct contact could cause pretty excessive burns, three surgeries and 16 days in hospital.

“There needs to be more awareness on their packaging.”

A spokesman for Unilever, which owns the global laundry brand, said such accident is one too many, adding that their products “are not intended for use by children, and packaging is fitted with child safety closures and warnings on the front and back of pack.”

They added they contacted the mother and are considering reviewing the warnings and safety advice on their products distributed across Asutralia.

Melania Trump sparks new ‘body-double’ conspiracy at Pope Francis’ funeral

By

Monica Pop

-

Pope Francis was not only a Catholic leader and the first pope from Latin-America, but someone who had spend his entire life choosing simplicity and humbleness. He was often surrounded by ordinary people and helped those in need.

Despite his declining health, a day before his passing, he passed through the crowd in St. Peter’s Square in his so-called popemobile without the bulletproof glass around him. Over 50,000 people were gathered to honor him.

Pope Francis’ final public appearance was on Easter Sunday, when he greeted crowds at the Easter Sunday Service and gave his ‘Urbi et Orbi’ benediction from a balcony overlooking the Piazza.

The Vatican announced his passing on Easter Monday, April 21, 2025. He died at the age of 88 at his residence in the Vatican’s Casa Santa Marta.

Pope Francis, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio, served as the 266th pope.

“His entire life was dedicated to the service of the Lord and of his Church,″ Cardinal Kevin Ferrell, the Vatican camerlengo, said.

“He taught us to live the values of the Gospel with faithfulness, courage, and universal love, especially for the poorest and most marginalised.

“With immense gratitude for his example as a true disciple of the Lord Jesus, we commend the soul of Pope Francis to the infinite, merciful love of God, One and Tribune.″

Pope Francis’ funeral was attended by hundreds of thousands of mourners and world leaders. The Italian government confirmed the presence of over 100 foreign delegations.

Among them were the US President Donald trump and his wife Melania Trump.

Trump triggered backlash from the public with his choice of clothing. Namely, while everyone wore black, he opted for a blue suit, which is considered unconventional for a pope’s funeral, to say the least.

Pope Francis’ casket, which was made of simple wood upon his wish, was transferred in procession from St Peter’s Basilica to Santa Maria Maggiore Basilica, about 2.5 miles away.

For the Pope Francis’ funeral, Melania Trump wore an all-black outfit from Italian designer label Dolce & Gabbana.

However, as photos of the Trumps arriving at the funeral were shared online, many wondered of she was really there.

Namely, X account Call to Activism shared a video of Trump and Melania walking to the helicopter shortly before departing from the US to attend Pope Francis’ funeral with the caption, “What do you notice about the way Trump and Melania just walked to the helicopter today?”

In a matter of minutes, people started commenting, sharing theories of a “body-double,” something that has happened plenty if times before.

“Melania never wears flat shoes either…I’m betting that this is the fake body double Melania because the real Melania did not want to have to go and stay with Trump overseas for the entire trip,” one person wrote.

My goodness. Please tell me Donald Trump isn’t going to try to work trade deals at Pope Francis’s funeral. 🤦🏽‍♂️ pic.twitter.com/C4dvBzS7RJ

Another wrote: “Fake Melania,” while a third stated, “Look at her face That’s NOT Melania.”

Someone else chimed in, “I don’t notice how they walked to the helicopter, but from the back, that is not Melania or DJT, IMO. Melania wouldn’t wear an off-the-rack coat.”

People also believed Melania used a “body-double” during the election day, when she was pictured wearing sunglasses indoors.

Canada’s new prime minister takes aim at Trump after win

By

Monica Pop

-

Newly elected Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney didn’t waste any time throwing fuel to the already fiery relationship between Canada and the US.

Moments after being elected, PM Mark Carney said in his victory speech that Donald Trump is “trying to break us so that America can own us.”

“As I’ve been warning for months, America wants our land, our water, our resources, our country… never,” he said in the early hours of the morning of April 29.

“That will never, ever happen. But we also must recognize the reality that our world has fundamentally changed,” he added and warned these were not “idle threats.”

Carney’s speech is a response to Trump’s vision to make Canada a part of the United States of America.

Before former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s decision to step down from power after a decade at the helm, Trump referred to him as to a “Governor of Canada.”

Prior to the elections in Canada, Trump took to Truth Social trying to influence Canadian voters.

“Good luck to the Great people of Canada,” he wrote.

“Elect the man who has the strength and wisdom to cut your taxes in half, increase your military power, for free, to the highest level in the World, have your Car, Steel, Aluminum, Lumber, Energy, and all other businesses, QUADRUPLE in size, WITH ZERO TARIFFS OR TAXES, if Canada becomes the cherished 51st. State of the United States of America.

“No more artificially drawn line from many years ago. Look how beautiful this land mass would be. Free access with NO BORDER. ALL POSITIVES WITH NO NEGATIVES. IT WAS MEANT TO BE!” Trump continued.

Both Prime Minister Carney and his rival, Liberal Party candidate Both Poilievre, pledged to stand up to Trump if elected.

Trump claimed Canada had the power to work as a state because “America is ‘spending $200 billion a year to subsidize it.”

Carney said they were “over the shock of the American betrayal” and ask his people “to look out for ourselves and above all we have to take care of each other.”

“When I sit down with President Trump it will be to discuss the future economic and security relationship between two sovereign nations, and it will be with our full knowledge that we have many, many other options than the United States to build prosperity for all Canadians,” Mark Carney added.

He also urged Canadians to buy domestic goods and to explore everything the country has to offer.

“United we will win this trade war and build the strongest economy in the G7. An economy that works for everyone,” Carney added.

Letting dishes pile up could be a sign of something deeper, according to psychology

By

Monica Pop

-

The state of our home often reflects our inner world, including our thoughts and emotions. This is especially true about our kitchen.

Have you ever felt stressed by the piles of dirty dishes in the sink but you still avoided cleaning them for some reason? If the answer is yes, it may not be related to laziness, but to something deeper, psychologists suggest.

In fact, letting dishes pile up can be a sign of an emotional overload.

Stress and Exhaustion

When you are mentally drained, even the small tasks like doing the dishes can be overwhelming, so avoiding doing them is your brain’s way of protecting you from additional stress. Leaving the chores for later helps refill your energy and heal emotionally.

Procrastination

Delaying or putting off tasks until the last minute is not just a management issue. According to researchers, “it’s a failure in self-regulation that leads us to act irrationally.” Although we are aware putting things off can lead to negative consequences, we still do it, and psychology suggests it’s a result of fear, perfectionism, and emotional resistance.

We often ignore doing the dishes because we see it as something that can wait for later, which leads to piling up not only dishes but also stress.

Signs of Emotional Struggles

When we struggle emotionally, it often reflects in the way we manage, or fail to manage, our living space, and leaving the dirty dishes is just one sign of messed up emotions.

Prioritizing Mental Rest

Sometimes, leaving the dishes sit in the sink while we do other things, usually those that make us happy, is a sign of self-awareness. It means we prioritize our mental health over a spotless living space, and that’s perfectly fine.

Lack of Routine

With some people, letting dishes pile up is just a sign of lack of a cleaning routine. The truth is that without daily routines, our house can turn into a complete mess in a matter of days.

Understanding the cause of this behavior and finding a way to address it can enhance our surroundings and emotional health.

The first part of your body you wash in the shower says a lot about your personality

By

Monica Pop

-

When it comes to showering, everyone has their own routine. Some start with the face, others with their arms or legs. The truth is we all start somewhere, and according to experts, the first part of your body you wash when in the shower may reveal a lot about your personality.

Face

If your face is the first thing you wash when getting into the shower, it means you are focused on your image and status and give importance to first impressions, failing to give people a second chance to change your opinion about them.

Sometimes people see you as selfish and self-absorbed, but in fact, you care what other think of you and how they see you.

Ears

You are open-minded, always ready for a pursuit of knowledge, and a great listener. However, you sometimes see yourself as superior to others because you are well aware of the qualities you possess.

Hair

If your hair is the first thing you wash when taking a bath, you are likely an artistic soul. Although you are a dreamer, you are also practical and realistic. You are dedicated and love spending your time around creative people and intellectuals.

Shoulders

You are a competitive person who would go to great lengths to achieve what you put your mind to. You don’t want to be told “no” and you’d work hard for your dreams and goals.

Armpits

You are realistic and down-to-earth. Most times, you prioritize your career over your relationships which sometimes affect your connection with those around you. At the same time, you are someone people can rely on.

Private Area

People who tend to wash their private area first are believed to be shy and quiet. Also, you have a close-knit group of friends and value quality over quantity.

Chest

Washing your chest first speaks of people who are confident in themselves and comfortable in their body. Others are sometimes jealous of your level of self-esteem and admire you.

In his final moments, Pope Francis shared a heartfelt gesture with a nurse

By

Pope Francis left this world on Easter Monday, April 21, leaving the world mourning the loss for the Christian leader who changed the church and showed enormous humility and compassion.

From the moment he was elected a pope in 2013, he chose simplicity and focused on the needy and the poor, asking for peace and reconciliation.

Pope Francis made his final public appearance on Easter Sunday, when he greeted crowds at the Easter Sunday Service and gave his ‘Urbi et Orbi’ benediction from a balcony overlooking the Piazza.

— Vatican News (@VaticanNews) April 21, 2025

He addressed the crowds with the words, “Dear brothers and sisters, Happy Easter! Blessed be the almighty father and son and holy spirit. I ask the master of ceremonies to read the message.”

His address continued: “And with firm hope in eternal life, I wish to set out my final wishes solely regarding the place of my burial. Throughout my life, and during my ministry as a priest and bishop, I have always entrusted myself to the Mother of Our Lord, the Blessed Virgin Mary.

“For this reason, I ask that my mortal remains rest – awaiting the day of the Resurrection – in the Papal Basilica of Saint Mary Major.”

Following his passing, Vatican News shared Pope Francis’ last words he told to the nurse who cared for him during his illness.

“Thank you for bringing me back to the Square,” he told him, expressing his gratitude.

Massimiliano Strappetti was appointed the pope’s personal healthcare assistant in 2022. According to the pope himself, he once saved his life when he suggested colon surgery.

“Mr. Strappetti stayed by the Pope’s side during all 38 days of his hospitalization at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital, and keeping watch round-the-clock during his recovery at the Casa Santa Marta,” Vatican News reported.

Months before his passing, Pope Francis suffered health issues and was admitted to the hospital in February where he stayed for 38 days, the longest hospital stay during his papacy.

Vatican reported that on Easter Monday, Pope Francis, who suffered from pneumonia, suffered a cerebral stroke that led to a coma and, shortly after, heart failure.

Pope Francis’ funeral, which he himself wished to be modest, mirrored his simple life. His casket was made of simple wood lined with zinc, as he wished.

He also asked that no inscriptions on the tomb mention his role as Pope.

The world’s oldest woman, who lived to 117, ate the same meal every day throughout her life

By

Monica Pop

-

Emma Martina Luigia Morano, born on 29 November 1899, got to live to 117, making it the world’s oldest woman.

She died in 2017, in Italy, where she had lived her entire life.

Morano was the eldest of eight siblings and outlived them all. The story of her enduring life stunned the world and many were eager to learn the secret behind her longevity.

There have only been 12 more verified cases of people reaching Morano’s age.

Asked about her life and health, Morano once said it was due to genetics and a specific diet that included eating three eggs a day, two of which raw.

She took up this diet after being diagnosed with anemia after World War I ended.

Morano only cut to two eggs per day and a couple of biscuits during the last years of her life.

According to her doctor, she barely ate any fruits and vegetables.

“When I met her, she ate three eggs per day, two raw in the morning and then an omelette at noon, and chicken at dinner,” Carlo Bava, Morano’s doctor of 27 years said.

According to the Mirror, Morano included in her diet a special touch of grappa—an Italian liquor—prepared with herbs like sage and rue, along with some grapes.

Throughout her life, which she had described as tough, she experienced an abusive marriage and the death of her only child. Morano lived through more than 90 different Italian governments and two World Wars.

The world’s oldest woman said that her longevity was part due to her decision to kick out her husband in 1938.

In fact, she was dragged into the marriage by threats, and didn’t want to be married after a boy she liked died in the war.

Although she and her abusive husband separated in 1938, they stayed married until his passing in 1978. She never remarried.

“I didn’t want to be dominated by anyone,” she told the New York Times.

Morano’s mother lived to 91 and most of her siblings reached to be centenarians.

Donald Trump faces backlash over ‘disrespectful’ gesture at Pope Francis’ funeral

By

Monica Pop

-

For a day, Rome was the center of the world as hundreds of thousands of people, including world leaders, gathered to say their farewell to the first pope of Latin-America, the man who impacted the Catholic church forever, Pope Francis.

As expected, US President Donald Trump and his wife Melania were among those who paid their tributes and attended the funeral.

Before heading to Rome, Trump made a comment about the upcoming funeral of Pope Francis that enraged many.

Asked to make a comment about the late pontiff, the business mogul-turned president said “he was a fantastic kind of a guy.” Many believed he should have chosen more eloquent words to describe the Catholic leader, slamming his choice of vocabulary.

My goodness. Please tell me Donald Trump isn’t going to try to work trade deals at Pope Francis’s funeral. 🤦🏽‍♂️ pic.twitter.com/C4dvBzS7RJ

Further, Trump said Pope Francis’ funeral would be attended by world leaders, which would give him the opportunity to meet with them and talk trade.

“My goodness. Please tell me Donald Trump isn’t going to try to work trade deals at Pope Francis’s funeral,” a person commented on the president’s comment.

“Disrespectful,” another added.

A third commented: “He should be shunned.”

His comment, which many dubbed inappropriate, wasn’t the only reason Trump has come under fire.

The couple were seen pausing as they passed Pope Francis’ coffin to pay their respects. However, once all the leaders stood in rows, wearing dark attires, Trump “stuck out like a sore thumb” due to his choice of suit.

For some reason, he opted for a blue color suit while everyone else’s was black.

Plenty of people took to the social media to share their opinion, writing that the US president lacked class and disrespected the pope by trying to steal the attention.

“Any reason why Donald Trump is in a blue suit and not wearing traditional black for a funeral?” someone wondered.

Another added: “I see that Trump’s wearing a blue suit to the Pope’s funeral so that he stands out. T**ser!”

A third commented, “Watching the funeral on BBC News. Trump is in a blue suit when everyone else is in black. No class.”

A fourth chimed in, “Why is Trump wearing a blue suit while everyone else is in black? No respect.”

Numbness or tingling sensations in your hands

By

Monica Pop

-

Has it ever happened that you woke up and felt numbness or tingling sensations in your hands? If the answer is yes, you are not alone.

The good thing is that this sensation, that feels like pins-and-needles isn’t dangerous all by itself.

As per the Mayo Clinic, “Numbness alone isn’t usually associated with potentially dangerous disorders, such as strokes or tumors.”

What’s most, numbness or tingling sensations in your hands can be easy to overcome.

One of the reasons behind this “condition” can be the sleeping position. If you slept with your hands under your body for most of the night, you are likely to lose the sensations in your hands in the morning.

Further, the tingly sensation may appear because of repetitive movements with the hands and the fingers such as using tools, typing, or writing. These repetitive movements can lead to compression of the nerves over time, and an example of that is the condition known as carpal tunnel syndrome, a common condition affecting the median nerve in the wrist.

“If the condition persists, it can cause permanent nerve damage. Sometimes surgery is necessary to relieve the pressure,” as per Healthline.

The numbness or tingling sensations in your hands and feet can also be a result of vitamin B12 deficiency, common at vegans and vegetarians.

This vitamins is found in eggs, meat, dairy, and fortified cereals, but it also comes in the form of supplements.

When calcium, potassium, or sodium levels drop in the body, it can disrupt nerve signals, causing tingling sensations. This is often due to dehydration, specific medications, or underlying health issues.

To avoid this, maintain balance by staying hydrated, consume nutrient-rich foods, and seek medical advice if the symptoms continue.

Peripheral nerves can be damaged at people with long-term high blood sugar, leading to diabetic neuropathy. This condition is also connected with numbness, tingling, or even burning sensations in the hands and feet.

Nerves can get compressed because of a herniated disc or neck spondylosis, too.

Autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis and poor circulation can also cause the sensation of numbness and tingling, as well as non-cancerous growths like ganglion cysts and certain infections.

Although hand numbness can often be caused by something not harmful, if it persists, require medical attention.

5 warning signs of cancer developing in the body

By

Monica Pop

-

Our body and mind have the power to send signs whenever something is wrong with our body. Sometimes, we decide to accept these warnings, and other times, we simply ignore them.

Paying attention to these signs, that are often subtle, can lead to early detection of an illness and increase the chances of battling it successfully.

Of course, whenever we feel something isn’t right, we should always consult a doctor.

Below are some of the early signs that warn us cancer is present in our body.

Unexpected Weight Loss

While most of us love being skinny and lose some weight when we are not happy with our appearance, losing weight all of a sudden, without making any changes in our diet or lifestyle may indicate the presence of cancer. This is especially true if the weight loss is significant and in a short amount of time.

Possible forms of cancer associated with unexplained weight loss are stomach, pancreas, or liver cancer (affects digestion and metabolism), lung or esophageal cancer (which interferes with swallowing and appetite), and blood cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma (which affect metabolism and immune function).

Constant fatigue and weakness

Unlike fatigue that is a result of lack of sleep and tiredness, fatigue that may indicate some more serious conditions, including cancer, is persistent.

Certain forms of cancer that cause fatigue are leukemia and lymphoma, colon or stomach cancer (causing slow internal bleeding and leading to anemia), or liver cancer.

Skin Changes

Any changes on the skin should be taken seriously.

No matter if it is moles, lumps, or skin discoloration, make sure you consult with your doctor.

Potential skin changes to keep an eye on are: moles with uneven borders, or change in color and size (probable signs of melanoma), constant sores that do not heal (may imply skin cancer), yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice) (related to liver or pancreatic cancer), dark spots or excessive itching (may indicate cancer of internal organs)

Persistent pain

Chronic pain that won’t go away even after you take medications and the amount of rest needed.

If the pain worsens over time, consult a doctor because it may be a sign of a more serious condition such as bone cancer (pain in the bones or fractures), brain tumors (causing persistent headaches, nausea, and vision problems), ovarian or colorectal cancer (causing pelvic or abdominal pain), or lung cancer (chest pain).

Unusual lumps or swelling

Getting lumps and growths on the skin is not unusual or uncommon. However, of the lumps get bigger, become red and painful, last more than two weeks, are hard and don’t move, or appear on your breasts or te***cles, consult wit your GP.

Three symptoms during sleep that could signal cancer

By

Monica Pop

-

The American Cancer Society states that the number of people diagnosed with cancer in 2025 will be 2 million.

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the world, just after heart disease.

Getting a timely diagnosis is crucial for successful treatment, and listening to the signs the body sends is of huge importance in possible prevention.

There are certain night time symptoms during sleep that may indicate the presence of cancer or another serious health issue.

Three essential indications to be aware of, especially if they persist, are night sweats, unexplained discomfort, and tightness in the chest.

Night Sweats

Possible causes of excessive night sweats could be hormonal changes, infections, or fever. However, these sweats can also be a sign of something more serious, such as some forms of cancer. Lymphoma, a hematologic cancer that affects lymphocytes, is also accompanied by excessive night sweats.

In case these night sweats persist, consult your doctor and learn the reason behind them.

Unexplained Pain or Discomfort

The night should be the time to rest and gather energy for the day that follows. Sadly, some people experience pain and discomfort while sleeping and the reasons can be various. Among the rest, a persistent discomfort felt during the night may be a result of nerve pain. Also, if the discomfort is felt in the legs, it can show issues with the arteries, such as arteries blockage.

Also, some forms of cancer can cause nerve pressure, which interrupts your sleep.

Difficulty Breathing or Chest Tightness

Among the symptoms that occur while sleeping or during the night that may be related to some forms of cancer are chest tightness and difficulty breathing. While these can be a result of sleep apnea or heart issues, if persistent, it may also refer to lung cancer.

Whenever your body gives you signs that something isn’t right, consult with your doctor.

Also, Michelle missed Jimmy Carter’s funeral, which raised eyebrows at the time.

On the podcast IMO, which she co-hosts with her brother, Michelle Obama revealed the real reason why she didn’t attend Trump’s inauguration.

Among the world leaders who attended the funeral of the first pope from Latin-America was Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his wife Olena.

Zelenskyy paid his tributes to Pope Francis despite Ukrainian officials feeling that the Vatican had not done enough to support Ukraine.

Two months before his passing, the pontiff called the war between the two countries “painful and shameful.”

Following Pope Francis’ passing, Zelenskyy paid tribute on his and on the behalf of the Ukrainian people.

Speaking of her transition to a woman, De Niro’s transgender child said, “It just felt right. I feel like I’m meant to be doing this.”

Her dad was clear about his feelings for her after her revelation and said he didn’t know why anyone would question his feelings for her.

Dr Leigh Erin Connealy, MD, the founder of the Center For New Medicine in Irvine, California, shared some insights from the lives of patients diagnosed with cancer.

The 2018 study by the NYU Langone Health in New York, US, examined the deaths of men and women aged between 55 and 64 — age group most at-risk of heart disease — and discovered that 13% of them were linked to exposure to this common household chemical.

The research in question now links DEPH to inflammation of the arteries, which increases the risk of heart disease and heart attack.

She was reported missing by her father when the school called him on December 6 to inform him she missed classes that day.

They agreed for him to help her run away from home.

While most Republicans oppose Collins’ push to return to Congress, they are not certain who should run for her seat.

Without Senator Collins on the ballot, Republicans may experience a hard time winning the seat.

He made some bald statements, some of which dubious.

Not only Moran, but others also questioned why Trump would lie about something easily proven not true during the interview marking his first 100 days in office.

Garcia was deported due to an error made by Trump’s administration, but he still has not returned home, and as it seems, he won’t any time soon.

Later in the interview marking the first 100 days of Trump in office, Moran presented evidence suggesting that Garcia wasn’t a member of the MS-13 gang.

Recently, actor Colin Farrell spoke of the “tricky” decision to place his 21-year-old son in a care facility.

Now, if you thought sleeping without any clothes on when the weather is extremely hot in order to keep yourself cool, experts warn it isn’t the smartest idea.

Well, if you’re in pursuit of an awesome series that people have been binge-watching lately, look no further — just turn on Netflix and search for The Resident.

The series also follows the main characters’ personal lives, their relationships, and their ups and downs.

Luca spent 16 days at the hospital, and the sight in one of her eyes is yet to be restored.

Pope Francis, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio, served as the 266th pope.

For the Pope Francis’ funeral, Melania Trump wore an all-black outfit from Italian designer label Dolce & Gabbana.

Moments after being elected, PM Mark Carney said in his victory speech that Donald Trump is “trying to break us so that America can own us.”

Both Prime Minister Carney and his rival, Liberal Party candidate Both Poilievre, pledged to stand up to Trump if elected.

He also urged Canadians to buy domestic goods and to explore everything the country has to offer.

In fact, letting dishes pile up can be a sign of an emotional overload.

Sometimes people see you as selfish and self-absorbed, but in fact, you care what other think of you and how they see you.
