Rockers usually get a justified bad rep for their not-so-great impact on the people around them – but every now and then, one of them stands up and acts like a real star.

Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Jon Bon Jovi was in the right place at the right time on Tuesday (10) when he helped convince a woman not to jump off a bridge in Nashville, Tennessee.

Fox News reported:

“The ‘Livin’ on a Prayer’ singer happened to be filming a music video on the Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge when he saw a woman in a ‘moment of crisis,’ Fox News Digital has learned.

‘A shout out to @jonbonjovi & his team for helping a woman on the Seigenthaler Ped Bridge Tue night’, Metro Nashville Police Department officials shared on X. ‘Bon Jovi helped persuade her to come off the ledge over the Cumberland River to safety’.”

Police Chief John Drake also wrote in the statement: ‘It takes all of us to help keep each other safe.’

“Bon Jovi is no stranger to helping others. He created the JBJ Soul Foundation in 2006, with the goal to ‘recognize and maximize the human potential in those affected by hunger, poverty, and homelessness by offering assistance in establishing programs that provide food and affordable housing while supporting social services and job training programs’.”

The small operation in Philadelphia has expanded into 12 states, serving thousands of people, including youth and veterans.

The Tennessean reported:

“Bon Jovi was filming a music video for his song ‘The People’s House’ on the bridge, which remained open to the public during the shoot. In a video posted by MNPD, a woman wearing a blue shirt is seen over the ledge of the bridge with her arms wrapped around its railing.”

The police video shows how Bon Jovi and a production assistant walk along the bridge over the Cumberland River and talk to the woman on the ledge.

The production assistant begins addressing the woman before Bon Jovi joins in. The musician is seen leaning against the rail.

“The woman then turns toward Bon Jovi and the production assistant, and they help her over the railing.

Once safe, the woman and Bon Jovi face each other, and the Grammy-winning singer hugs her before the group walks away.”

The Gateway Pundit has reported extensively on allegations and investigations against Dolton, Illinois, Mayor Tiffany Henyard dubbed ‘the worst mayor in America.’

While investigations are still ongoing, Henyard decided spending on a lavish party that was sparsely attended seemed like a great idea.

Henyard reportedly spent $85,000 on a party that featured R&B singer Keke Wyatt and rapper J. Holiday in August that, according to media reports, only 70 people attended.

WGN Investigates reports:

 Records show Keke Wyatt was paid $30,000 to sing for 30 minutes.  J. Holiday was paid $20,000 for a half-hour set.   The township spent $6,600 to rent inflatable bounce houses.  Other costs billed to township taxpayers include everything from comedians to a sound system, staff to equipment and bring the total to at least $85,769.

“I was flabbergasted,” said Lansing resident Jennifer Robertz when told of the costs.  “I was pissed off.  That’s my money. That’s the people’s money.”

Henyard has been under FBI investigation for abusing her power after she shut down businesses that didn’t donate to her campaign.

In March, Henyard reportedly vetoed an investigation, unanimously approved by The Dolton Village Board, into allegations that she misused funds for lavish expenses and a costly $1 million security detail.

Residents hired failed former Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot to investigate, and when Lightfoot presented the findings, there were audible gasps at the extent of the accusations of reckless spending, including spending $40,000 at Amazon in one day.

The report revealed that Dolton has a deficit of at least $3.6 million, with more than $6 million in additional checks owed to village vendors that it can’t afford to pay.

Further, Lightfoot revealed that the village hasn’t complied with state law by filing annual financial reports.

The village’s general fund, which pays the majority of its expenses, went from a multimillion-dollar surplus to a deficit of nearly $5 and a half million in just two years.

One of Henyard’s former assistants also accused Henyward of ‘unethical and predatory behavior.’

The fake news outlets are in full swing, desperately attempting to debunk yet another shocking but truthful statement made by President Trump.

During a recent debate, Trump said, “They’re eating the dogs, the people that came in, they’re eating the cats. They’re eating the pets of the people that live there, and this is what’s happening in our country, and it’s a shame.”

This comment was immediately met with the standard response from the left-wing media machine: denial, deflection, and outright dismissal of the facts.

Some Democrats even laughed at Trump when he made this statement.

But despite the orchestrated efforts to brush this story under the rug, evidence is mounting that the practice of consuming pets among Haitian migrants is not some far-fetched, xenophobic fantasy. In fact, it’s a reality that even a Haitian publication, Haitian Report, has confirmed.

The Haitian Report itself acknowledges the tradition of eating cat meat in Haiti. Contrary to the liberal media’s narrative, this is not some wild conspiracy theory.

On Friday morning Elon Musk posted video of an American woman with a Haitian father. The woman describes the two reasons why Haitians eat cats.

The woman, Rebekah Faidia on TikTok also reminds her audience of the voodoo practices in Haiti something she describes as truly demonic.

Rebekah Faidia: My father immigrated from Haiti to the United States in the late ’60s as a teenager. And I want to talk about these recent comments about the Haitians in Springfield, Ohio. I also want to say my father and I are now estranged, but I did know him in my very, very young years. And when he immigrated, he was one person, and they weren’t sending thousands of Haitians in one area. He wasn’t eating people’s pets and he didn’t practice voodoo. But he did say that most of the island, the majority of the island, does practice voodoo.

The reason they eat cats is for two reasons. Number one is survival. This is the poorest country in the Western hemisphere. You can’t just go to a food bank like you can here or just go to McDonald’s and get some free or cheap food. Unless, of course, there’s a Christian missionary there. People in the United States have a really hard time imagining that type of thing, but it is true. Second, they do do animal sacrifices for their religion, voodoo. They make these animal sacrifices to these gods for different reasons. You can do your own research on this.

Do I think voodoo is a demonic religion? Yes, I do. That doesn’t mean… Obviously, that doesn’t mean that you hate these people. These people need prayer. But you can’t just take over all these people from another country and expect it to work. Not to mention, it doesn’t fix the problems of that country. And there’s more people left in Haiti that we can bring over.

It’s not racist to acknowledge that this is a problem. It’s not racist to talk about these things that are happening. This is not just white Americans saying this is Black Americans. You can look at the people in Springfield, Ohio, saying that this is happening. You all just want to joke about Trump and say that he’s crazy for saying that this is happening instead of actually checking at all to see if this is happening. You want to make jokes about these things. Well, what if it were happening to you and your community? And no, it’s beyond eating their pets, even though that is bad enough.

The actress Kathy Griffin has claimed that Donald Trump is preparing to crack down against comedians and pick them off “one by one” if he wins in November.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Griffin insisted that Trump had prepared a “list” and would target her and many others as a result.

She did not specify exactly how Trump intends to punish them.

“He’s going to pick us off, one by one, like bowling pins, and I’m not kidding, and I’m not being paranoid,” the 63-year-old said.

“I’m a D-lister, he’s not going to get to me on day one, but he’ll get to me, trust me,” she continued. “He’s got a list. I’ve known this guy for 25 years, maybe 30. He’s so petty that he lives for this. He doesn’t want to be President or do any president-ing.”

Griffin, who gained widespread notoriety back in 2017 after posting an image of her holding Trump’s decapitated head, also gave her view on some of the names that Trump will be targeting.

“If he gets re-elected, he’ll go after Jimmy Kimmel, he’ll go after Jon Stewart, all the name ones, but he’ll go after Rosie O’Donnell. That’s all he’s going to do all day,” she added. “He’ll have press conferences about it. He’s so much crazier than he was the first go-round.”

After posting the images all those ago, Griffin has since built her career on the difficulties and “trauma” she faced as a result of the backlash against her, which included a Secret Service investigation and a brief stint on the no-fly list. As a result, her latest tour is titled Life on the PTSD-List.

Yet Griffin has still refused to tone down her rhetoric. During the 2022 midterms, she suggested that a vote for the Republican Party was a vote for civil war.

The geopolitical issue of the moment involving the conflict in Ukraine is whether NATO powers will fully authorize Kiev to fire their long-range missiles towards targets inside Russian territory – a heavy escalation move that can potentially invite retaliations by Moscow of an unknown nature.

With yesterday’s visit to Kiev by US State Secretary Anthony Blinken and UK’s Foreign Secretary David Lammy, the news cycle was saturated with a variety of versions about this decision, from Russian sources saying that the authorization had already been given, up until Politico’s version that ‘Ukraine’s Russia strike ban hopes dashed’ and no such agreement had been made.

At last a version has arisen in which the US has first asked to see Zelensky’s plan of how he wants to use these missiles, and what he wishes to accomplish with that.

This version emphasizes that the US and the UK ‘were open to Ukraine’s request’ to use western-provided weapons to strike deeper into Russia, despite their clear concerns that this could further escalate the conflict.

Bloomberg reported:

“During a visit to Kiev on Wednesday, the two countries’ top diplomats didn’t rule out agreeing to President Volodymyr Zelensky’s request but said President Joe Biden would discuss the matter more when he meets Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Washington later this week.”

The US has so far publicly blocked the use of US-provided weapons to hit targets deeper in Russia.

Doing so, officials  say, might only deepen the conflict and put the US in a position of a direct participant in the war.

But the news of Iran sending ballistic missiles to Russia may lead Washington – and London – to change their tone.

“’I’m going take this discussion back to Washington to brief the president on what I heard’, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said at the same briefing. ‘We have adjusted and adapted as needs have changed, as the battlefield has changed and I have no doubt we’ll continue to do that’.”

Blinken and Lammy heard Zelensky’s plan to striking deeper into Russian territory and his longer-term strategy into next year.

The presentation included what Kiev wants to target and why.

the Ukrainian president said he would reinforce his plea to soften weapons restrictions in a meeting with Biden later this month in New York, where world leaders will gather for the UN General Assembly’s annual high-level debate.

The UN General Assembly later this month will be another opportunity to discuss the issue.

The UK has already indicated ‘it’s open’ to Ukraine striking military targets inside Russia with Britain’s Storm Shadow missiles.

“Late last month, Zelensky said he would lay out a ‘victory plan’ to force Russia to halt its invasion when he meets with Biden, though didn’t offer specifics. He said he would also brief the US presidential candidates, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump, on the plan.”

Former President Trump already said that he wants the war to stop. He claimed that, if elected, he’d resolve the war before taking office.

“And while Blinken indicated he’s more amenable to a policy change, others in the Biden administration, including Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, have expressed reluctance. During a meeting with defense chiefs last week at Ramstein Air Base in Germany, Austin told reporters that no specific weapon would be a game changer in Russia’s war.”

The Biden administration has been facing pressure from some NATO allies to take a more aggressive stance, but officials say that there’s no consensus within NATO and a policy change isn’t imminent.
