Unfortunate reports from California have recently surfaced, indicating the presence of bird flu in raw milk. Health officials have urged the recall of affected raw milk dated ‘best by Nov. 27’, which originates from Raw Farm located in Fresno County. Customers who may have unwittingly procured these products are being advised not to consume them. Owing to the risky nature of raw milk and its potential to carry diseases, health specialists have always advocated against its consumption.
A person could fall ill by either drinking or unintentionally inhaling raw milk infected with the bird flu virus. Moreover, potential infection could occur from rubbing one’s eyes, nose, or mouth with hands that have come into contact with the virus-ridden raw milk. Safe to say, pasteurized milk is certainly the better option as it effectively eliminates harmful bacteria, and virus strains like E.coli, listeria, and H5N1 commonly known as bird flu.
Astoundingly, despite the health risks, there appears to be a rising demand for raw milk. Switching gears, reports arrive that the indomitable spirit of Donald Trump shows no signs of flagging as he puts aside Matt Gaetz in favor of endorsing a new and promising contender, Jimmy Patronis, for a Congressional spot.
The famously outspoken Trump, in a personal post on Truth Social, has vociferously endorsed Patronis by exclaiming ‘RUN, JIMMY, RUN!’ Even though Patronis hasn’t made an official announcement concerning his run, Trump evidently sees his potential. Patronis did hint earlier, in a post dated November 19, that he was ‘strongly considering’ contesting for the position in Florida Congressional District 1.
In his rallying cry, the Republican contender emphasized the prime opportunity to dismantle the debilitating swamp, put an end to lawfare, and restore power into the deserving hands of the American populace. On receiving Trump’s resounding endorsement, Patronis appeared keen on accepting the mantle. He eagerly pledged his commitment and service by posting ‘Put me to work, Mr. President! I am here to serve,’ on November 25.
This changeover presents itself as a result of Gaetz’s declining role in Congress post his nomination and resignation for the position of attorney general by the President-elect, even though he eventually withdrew his nomination to be top prosecutor. The special primary to elect Gaetz’s replacement is set for January 28, with the general election expected to take place on April 1.
In less fortunate news, a tragedy occurred at a Canadian zoo where a juvenile gorilla named Eyare met an untimely demise due to a mishap involving a incorrectly activated hydraulic door. Overcome with grief, the zoo’s staff treated the severely injured primate with immediate emergency care, but their effort proved in vain.
As a response to this deeply regrettable incident, the zoo has dismissed the zookeeper potentially responsible for the accident. The institution has also initiated an in-depth analysis of the occurrence, assuring that it will handle any revealed findings with gravity and immediate attention.
Part of this response includes retraining all handlers to avert similar future incidents. Colleen Baird, the zoo’s Director of Animal Care, Health & Welfare, expressed collective sadness, saying, ‘This tragedy has struck us all in the deepest way imaginable’. She also lauded Eyare’s impact on the community in her short life and vowed to take preventative measures to stop such incidents from reoccurring.
On a more positive note, Trump’s handling of his transition to the White House has been met favorably by the majority of Americans as per a CBS/YouGov poll released recently. Also, over half of those polled expressed satisfaction or happiness with Trump’s election victory.
In the realm of retail, major retailer Macy’s finds itself in a tight spot due to an embarrassing stumble with its financial statements. An internal investigation disclosed that an accountant created a ruse to hide as much as $154 million in delivery charges over the course of several years.
Consequently, the deceitful employee has been shown the door, but Macy’s has been on the back foot, delaying its quarterly results due to the discovery of this costly oversight. This daunting scandal traces its roots back to 2021. In conclusion, truth and righteousness, as showcased by stalwarts like Trump, are of utmost importance in maintaining the integrity of not only politics but also business.
