Argentine President Javier Milei is following President Trump’s bold leadership by announcing Argentina’s withdrawal from the World Health Organization (WHO). Citing “profound differences,” Milei’s move mirrors Trump’s decisive action last month to sever U.S. ties with the global health body over its disastrous handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to the largest shutdowns in history.
Milei’s decision, while less financially impactful than Trump’s move, given Argentina’s relatively small WHO contributions—sends a strong message of national sovereignty. A spokesman for Milei stated that Argentina will not allow an international body to dictate its health policies. Trump’s withdrawal, which removes the WHO’s largest single contributor, is a significant financial and symbolic blow to an organization many conservatives view as unaccountable and overly influenced by globalist agendas.
Argentina may not be alone in this push. Italy’s Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini recently proposed a bill to leave WHO, and with more nationalist leaders aligning with Trump’s America First vision, other nations could follow suit. However, Milei may face domestic hurdles, as congressional approval is required. Similarly, Trump’s move could face legal challenges, but his America First stance remains firm, challenging entrenched globalist influence over national health policies.
Nearly 100 Fall Ill in Stomach Bug Outbreak on Royal Caribbean Ship – How to Stay Safe
Nearly 100 people fell ill in a gastrointestinal outbreak aboard Royal Caribbean’s Radiance of the Seas. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that 89 of the 2,164 guests and two crew members experienced vomiting and diarrhea. The cause of the outbreak remains unknown.
The ship departed from Tampa, Florida for a week-long Caribbean cruise, and enhanced cleaning and disinfection measures were implemented. Sick passengers and crew were isolated to prevent further spread. Royal Caribbean emphasized its commitment to protecting the health and comfort of those on board.
This marks the sixth cruise-related gastrointestinal illness outbreak in 2025 that met the CDC’s public notification threshold. In 2024, 18 such outbreaks were reported, most caused by norovirus. While cruise ships are often associated with these outbreaks, they account for only 1% of all reported cases.
Dr. Dean Winslow of Stanford Medicine noted that gastrointestinal outbreaks frequently occur in congregate settings, including cruises, universities, nursing homes, and hospitals, where food and drink are shared. The CDC continues to monitor and address such incidents to prevent further outbreaks.
Tips to Stay Healthy on a Cruise
Here are a few tips to stay healthy while cruising.
- Wash Hands Often: Use soap and water, especially before eating.
- Be Mindful of Food & Drinks: Avoid raw foods and drink only safe water.
- Keep Your Distance: Avoid sick passengers and shared items.
- Sanitize Your Space: Wipe down frequently touched surfaces.
- Avoid Touching Your Face: Prevent germs from entering your body.
- Follow Onboard Health Rules: Comply with hygiene and isolation protocols.
- Boost Immunity: Stay hydrated, eat well, and rest.
Are You Pooping Enough? The Truth About Healthy Bathroom Habits
Let’s flush out the truth. How often should you be going No. 2? Turns out, there’s no magic number! According to gastroenterologist Dr. Peyton Berookim, a “normal” poop schedule can range from three times a week to three times a day. The key? Spontaneous, strain-free bathroom trips with soft, fully evacuated stools.
Dr. Crystal Antoine-Pepeljugoski adds that pooping less than three times a week could signal constipation. Several factors influence your gut flow, including fiber intake, hydration, stress, exercise, and even ignoring the urge to go, so don’t hold it in!
Aim for 25-30 grams of fiber daily from fruits, veggies, whole grains, nuts, and seeds for smooth sailing in the bathroom. Probiotics from yogurt, kefir, or sauerkraut can help too. And don’t skimp on water – at least eight cups a day keeps things moving. Regular physical activity, like daily walks, also stimulates digestion.
If you notice drastic changes, persistent constipation, diarrhea, blood in your stool, or severe pain, it’s time to see a doctor. But for most, a balanced diet, hydration, and listening to your body will keep your gut happy and your bathroom breaks on track!
Trump’s Federal Worker Buyout Paused by Judge as Legal Fight Heats Up
A U.S. judge temporarily halted the Trump administration’s ambitious buyout program for federal workers, delaying a key initiative aimed at downsizing the government. Despite this legal setback, over 60,000 federal employees have already accepted the buyout offer, aligning with Trump’s longstanding promise to cut government waste and inefficiency.
The ruling by Judge George O’Toole in Boston provides temporary relief for federal employees and labor unions, who have challenged the legality of the buyouts. The White House argues that the initiative is necessary to eliminate bureaucratic inefficiencies and streamline operations, a goal long supported by conservatives. However, critics, including Democratic attorneys general, have raised concerns about transparency, job security, and potential violations of privacy laws.
Trump’s initiative, overseen by Elon Musk, seeks to restructure the federal workforce, emphasizing performance-based job retention. A new memo orders agency heads to submit lists of employees with poor performance ratings or recent hires without civil-service protections, increasing the likelihood of terminations.
Despite opposition, the Trump administration remains committed to its overhaul. The buyout program’s popularity among federal employees – evidenced by the 60,000 acceptances -demonstrates significant interest in the offer. However, concerns persist regarding future funding and the potential for immediate job losses if the buyout plan is struck down permanently.
With another court hearing scheduled for Monday, the fate of this bold government restructuring effort hangs in the balance, but Trump’s push for a leaner, more efficient federal workforce continues to gain traction.
Soaring Egg Prices Have Some Consumers Thinking Outside the Coop and Renting Chickens
With egg prices soaring due to ongoing avian flu outbreaks, some consumers are turning to an unconventional solution: renting chickens.
Services like Rent the Chicken provide customers with a ready-to-go setup, including a coop and two to four egg-laying hens, delivering fresh eggs straight from their backyard. Two hens can produce about a dozen eggs per week, while four can yield around two dozen.
While cost savings may seem like a primary motivator, co-founder Homestead Jenn Tompkins says most renters seek peace of mind rather than just lower prices. Many want to ensure a steady egg supply, especially as grocery store shelves fluctuate.
Rent the Chicken has been operating in Texas since 2013 and has seen demand rise during past avian flu outbreaks, particularly in 2022, when egg prices spiked. Experts predict another price surge before summer, making backyard chickens an increasingly attractive option.
As egg prices remain volatile, more consumers are considering alternatives to traditional grocery shopping – and renting chickens might just be the next big trend in home food production.
Is Your Plate Making You Sick? Cardiologist Exposes the Hidden Dangers
Chronic diseases like heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes, and COPD affect over 133 million Americans. According to cardiologist Dr. Aseem Malhotra, the culprit behind these conditions is what’s on our plates. He argues that health care can’t be fixed without addressing the food crisis.
Only one in eight Americans has optimal metabolic health, which is crucial for preventing chronic illness. Malhotra defines it using five markers: blood glucose, blood pressure, waist circumference, cholesterol profile, and HDL levels. Failing three or more of these puts people at high risk for serious health problems, including heart disease, dementia, and even cancer.
The biggest dietary offenders? Ultra Processed foods, sugar, and refined carbohydrates like bread, pasta, and rice. Malhotra suggests eliminating them for 4-6 weeks to reset metabolic health, emphasizing whole foods, exercise, and stress reduction.
He warns that ultra processed foods are deliberately designed to be addictive. To curb their impact, he advocates for strategies similar to tobacco control—higher taxes, limited availability, and advertising bans. Public health campaigns must also educate consumers about the dangers of processed foods.
