A 92-year-old man wanted to withdraw some money from the local Bank of America, but his ID was expired and the teller told him he couldn’t help him. The elderly man was upset and then the bank managers called the police and told them to take the man out of the premises.
It was officer Robert Josett who answered the call about the man who was reportedly causing a scene.

As the man didn’t have any proper identification, the bank was unable to process his request to withdraw his money. However, he didn’t understand why the teller was refusing to help him. As a result, the elderly man grew upset and caused a commotion.
When Officer Josett learned what was going on, he decided to do something unconventional.

Not wanting the elderly gentleman to leave the place without his money, Officer Josett offered him a lift to the DMV where he got a new ID. After that, he took the man back to the Bank of America so that he could proceed with the withdrawal.
This act of kindness didn’t go unnoticed. Someone at the bank learned what the officer did, and soon after, the story reached the Montebello Police Department, who shared it on Facebook along with some photos.

“This Officer is a Saint!” commented one person on the police department’s Facebook post. “All this Little Grampa wants is to keep his independence. And the officer helped him in a dignified manner. Good Job Officer!”
“Heart touching and I love that the officer was able to get him in and out of the DMV so quickly!” joked another. “That alone is medal worthy!”

“This is beautiful,” wrote someone else. “We need more stories like this to show the people that not all police officers are bad and that they go above and behind their regular duties to help everyone.”
“We often hear only bad news of officers, we can’t judge everyone the same,” agreed another. “Officer Robert Josett thank you so much for helping this elderly man, it could have been my father or grandfather. God Bless you….and thank you for your service.”
Anyone with an elderly parent or grandparent can likely relate to the situation this old man found himself in. At 92-years-old, you’re simply not as sharp as you used to be, so something like an expired ID can really throw you off, especially when it’s preventing you from accessing your own money.
This old man only needed to be shown some kindness and a bit of patience. Officer Josett showed him both and turned out to be his guardian angel. The people of Montebello, California, are certainly lucky to have such a compassionate officer protecting them.

Most people would go great lengths to enhance their appearance, that is the reason why plastic surgeries become a common practice everywhere in the world.
Sadly, these procedures aren’t always successful and leave permanent damage and deformation of the face. Such was the case with the famous reality star Elsa Patton, best known for her appearance in the show “The Real Housewives of Miami.” She was part of the show for two years, between 2011 and 2013, but it was more than enough for her to reach a celebrity status. It was her one-liners and her lively personality that made her a beloved character.

At the same time, she underwent a number of procedures which left her unrecognizable to the extent that a plastic surgeon in Tampa, Florida, called it out and said there was “no worse case” of plastic surgery going wrong than Elsa Patton.
What we know of Elsa Patton before her appearance in the show is not much. Ancestry.com reported that she was born in Cuba on August 25, 1936. She was married to husband Donald Patton for over five decades before his passing in 2018, over a year before Elsa died too.
“Mama Elsa” and Donald had two children together, daughter Marysol Patton, who was part of “The Real Housewives of Miami” together with her mother and later on was part of the reboot, and son Thomas Anthony Jones.

Speaking of her mother, Marysol told Reality Tea: “Growing up my mother always had so many people that always wanted to be around her; a lot of celebrities, a lot of very important people always wanted to be friends with my mother.
“Everyone was always fascinated by her so this doesn’t seem any different than how it’s always been.”
Marysol added, “It’s a little different when we go out together on the streets because strangers are coming up to us or staring or pointing or taking pictures, so that’s a little a different. But she enjoys it very much.”
In 2012, Elsa was given her spin-off show, Havana Elsa, which followed her journey towards starting her coffee chain. “I love Cuban coffee… and now I’m going to have a coffee of my own, that is gonna be wonderful, it’s gonna be to my taste, and on top of that I’m gonna make me money,” she said at the time, as reported by Huffington Post.
When it came to her plastic surgeries, it was evident she had many, although she never really spoke openly about it. She referred to her surgeon as of “the man who ruined my face.” Her daughter, Maryson, however, revealed more information about Elsa’s surgeries and said that her mom had her eyelids done during the 80’s, which left her with hematomas on her eyes for nearly three years.

Facial Plastic Surgeon Benjamin C. Stong of the Kalos Facial Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, Georgia, said that it’s “almost hard to even imagine” what she looked like before her surgeries. Another expert, double-board certified surgeon Dr. Farrior in Tampa, Florida, described Elsa’s face condition as a “tragedy” in judgment, ethics, and technique.
“Chances are that she did not do it to herself but was able to convince someone to do it to her. That is where it should have stopped,” Dr. Farrior wrote, adding that the surgeon in question had the responsibility to refuse further surgery.
“The real mistake was the choice she made for a provider because they did not say NO,” he added.

In 2013, mere days before they were about to start shooting season three of the reality show, Elsa suffered a stroke and was rushed to the hospital. As months and years passed by, her health deteriorated and she passed away on May 13, 2019, after “a long illness.” Elsa was 84 at the time of her passing.
Marysol honored her mother when she married her husband Steve McNamara, president of a Florida construction company, in 2021. Her Mayan wedding ceremony was performed by a shaman. “It was the basis of her mom’s spiritual-religious roots,” a source told Page Six. “She felt her mom’s influence guided her to have this kind of ceremony — Elsa is still in charge!”

The Real Housewives franchise creator and executive producer Andy Cohen made a touching tribute to Elsa on his show Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. “Throughout the history of the Real Housewives, we have met many friends and relatives of the wives, but rarely has someone’s spirit, humor, and wisdom made such an indelible impression as Elsa’s did,” Cohen said.
We will never forget “Mama Elsa” and her wonderful personality. May she rest in peace.

What started as an attempted carjacking turned into a tragedy when one of the suspects who tried to steal a car from a mother and son was shot.
Louise Ornduff and her son Kalaeb, from Clearwater, Florida, were contacted by a potential buyer of their car. They arranged to meet at the parking lot of Bank of America not knowing they were going to fall victims of a robbery.
The two men who pretended to be there to buy the vehicle, 18-year-old Lasupta Singletary and 17-year-old Jernaen Dreshaw Coleman, were armed with guns and demanded the keys to the 2016 Hyundai Veloster that Kalaeb Ornduff.
Not wanting to put his life in danger, Kalaeb did what he was told, after which the two carjackers fled the scene. But just as they drove away, Louise fired a shot, hitting Singletary.
Unfortunately, the shot was a deadly one. Coleman realized his friend was shot but he didn’t stop the car. Instead, he drove to the nearest hospital and dropped off Singletary, who was pronounced dead.
As police started an investigation, they realized that the killed young man and his friend were involved in the carjacking that took place at the parking lot.
Although authorities were aware that it was Ornduff who fired the shot, it was Coleman who faced second-degree felony murder and armed robbery charges. Prosecutors can pursue a felony murder charge against a co-conspirator in Florida when someone dies during the commission of a crime.
As for the 36-year-old mother, it wasn’t clear whether she would face any charges. Deputy Chief Eric Gandy said that “It’s important to determine whether the threat existed when the shot was fired.”
Denis DeVlaming, a former prosecutor said Louise is in big problems. According to him, if she had shot the fire during the robbery, she would be justified, but she loses that ability in case the perpetrators are fleeing.
There were those who stood by Louise’s side and justified her decision to fire a shot, with one person writing: “She was right in what she did and had to, I would have done the same thing had I been in her shoes, and the police and courts should back her up and not take the defense of these criminals, help the police clean up the streets against crime,” but there were also those who believed she shouldn’t have used her weapon when she saw the carjackers driving away.

Country music singer, songwriter, and actor Toby Keith revealed on Sunday that he has started treatment for stomach cancer. According to his post, he was diagnosed with the illness in the fall of 2021.
During the last six months, the multi-platinum-selling artist has been receiving chemo treatments and radiations and has undergone a surgery.
“Last fall, I was diagnosed with stomach cancer,” the country icon, 60, said on social media. “I’ve spent the last 6 months receiving chemo, radiation and surgery. So far, so good. I need time to breathe, recover, and relax.”
He was scheduled to perform on Friday at the BBQ festival but his performance was cancelled as the Ribfest’s website says the festival is “actively seeking a replacement for Toby Keith to join Elle King on Friday, June 17. Instructions for refund requests will be available in the future.”
The musician added that he’s “looking forward to spending this time with my family. But I will see the fans sooner than later. I can’t wait.”
Many of Keith’s fellow country singers shared their well wishes and prayers.
“Damn bro,” Jason Aldean wrote. “Hate ur dealing with that, but if anybody can kick Cancer’s ass, it’s you. Prayin for ya big man.” “Praying for a full healing in your body!!” RaeLynn added.

Keith’s publicist, Elaine Schock, said in an email Sunday night that some tour dates will be canceled, “but I’m not sure how many at this point.”
We are certain he will win this battle.

With the British Royal family being one of the most famous families in the world, it’s not a surprise the media is eager to carefully follow their every move. One thing we love about them are the beautiful photos they share.
This year, the Duke and the Duchess of Cambridge treated the public with one very special photo from their personal collection for Christmas. As always, the couple, along with their three children, look amazing.
“Delighted to share a new image of the family, which features on this year’s Christmas card,” the couple wrote on their Instagram account.
The place where the photo was taken is Jordan. When she was still very young, Kate used to live there for around two years when her father worked for British Airways. As for Prince William, this wasn’t the first time for him to visit Jordan either. Back in 2018, he visited the country as part of his tour of The Middle East.
Over 2 million people reacted to the photo. A lot of the comments were related to how fast the children grew up. Many couldn’t help but spot the resemblance between Princess Charlotte and her great-grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, at Charlote’s age. Some even posted photos of the two side by side.
Royal fans go wild over Princess Charlotte’s resemblance to Queen https://t.co/nOuOBC394f via @Femail How grown up does Charlotte look, she’s just like her gan gan,
Recently, during the celebration of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee more photos of the family emerged and what the ones of the little Princess show is that she truly is a spitting image of her great-grandma. On May 2, the family shared a photo of Charlotte to wish her a happy seventh birthday.

However, despite the looks and the fact that they are both part of one of the most powerful, influential, and popular families there are, the way The Queen was brought up has little to do with what Charlotte’s life looks like. When she was her great-granddaughter’s age, Queen Elizabeth was home schooled, while the sweet Princess attends Thomas’s Battersea, an independent mixed school in London, the same school her older brother George attends.
In 1910, when the Girl Guide Association was formed, both The Queen’s mother and the Queen herself became part of it, so the Queen, although she didn’t attend a formal school, got to hang out with girls her age. Charlotte, on the other hand, has a lot girls and boys friends at school.
One thing is certain, the little Princess inherited the best from each of the members of her family. For one, she definitely has her mom’s sense of fashion and looks extremely cute on each of the photographs The Palace shares.
Back in April 2019, the Black Sabbath icon, Ozzy Osbourne, was forced to postpone the remaining tour dates following spine and neck surgery after he suffered a dangerous fall in his home in Los Angeles. Sadly, this aggravated the old injuries he sustained from his 2003 ATV accident that nearly ended his life.
2020 was the year when the musician was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease.
“There was a point I was convinced that I was dying,” the rocker told the Daily Mail in August 2020. “I was in that much discomfort and pain and misery. I thought [my family] were all hiding it from me.”
Following the second fall and the surgeries that followed, Osbourne’s wife, Sharon Osbourne, the host of the UK’s The Talk, spoke of her husband’s health and expressed hopefulness that he would be able to perform again.
Sadly, later on, Osbourne went through a life-threatening staph infection in his thumb and contracted COVID-19 earlier this year. “I am very worried about Ozzy right now. We’ve gone two years without him catching Covid, and it’s just Ozzy’s luck he would get it now,” Sharon said while updating his fans on his condition.
Osbourne, who is 73, opened up about his health and said things turned for the worse after he reached 70. “F**k me, when I became 70, I had the f*****g thumb thing. It has been one nightmare after another.”
A few days ago, Sharon once again updated her husband’s fans of his health and revealed he will be going through a major surgery that will likely “determine the rest of his life,” but didn’t share any details.
Of course, this news left many worried for the musician’s condition and life and the family received outpouring support. As a result, the 69-year-old TV personality took her time to thank everyone for their good wishes and wrote on Instagram: “Our family would like to express so much gratitude for the overwhelming amount of love and support leading up to Ozzy’s surgery!
Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne have been married since 1982 and share children Aimee Osbourne, Kelly Osbourne and Jack Osbourne. This year, they are about to celebrate 40 years of marriage. Asked whether they would celebrate the milestone anniversary, Sharon said: “I don’t know yet.” The proud wife will be leaving her gig as host of the UK’s The Talk so that she can remain in Los Angeles with her husband during this critical time in his life.
We hope and pray that everything will turn out for the best for the “Prince of Darkness.”

Leaving Britain and settling in the States didn’t necessarily mean getting the chance for a quieter life for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry whose names always find their way to the headlines of many magazines.
The couple tied the knot back in 2018 and their relationship has been closely followed by the media from the moment they announced they were dating. Today, The Sussexes have two children together, son Archie, and daughter Lilibet Diana, named after both her grandma and great-grandma.
The media, however, came with some interesting information regarding the couple. It turned out that the royal and his Californian-born other half are actually a little bit related, except for being spouses.

It might be slightly complicated to explain the family relation between Meghan and Prince Harry, but according to Metro, the two are fifteenth cousins and their family tree dates back to 1480. The couple’s common ancestor is Ralph Bowes, a High Sheriff of County Durham in England in the 15th century. This man’s granddaughter, Bridget, married John Hussey and their grandson Christopher Hussey moved to the US as a settler in 1632. Christopher was an ancestor of Meghan Markle’s father, Thomas Markle, a renowned television lighting director and director of photography.
Ralph Bowes had another grandchild, George Bowes.
He was a relative of Elizabeth Bowes Lyon who married George VI and went on to become the Queen Mother, the mother of Queen Elizabeth.
Daily News
Although they appear to be cousins, they are not closely related, so this fact of sharing a common ancestor doesn’t really affect their relationship in any way.
Ever since leaving Britain, Meghan has only seen her husband’s family during the recent celebration of Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee.

With the extreme scarcity of food in many parts of the world, it’s not surprising that a recent TikTok video enraged a number of people. An employee at the fast-food chicken joint Chick-fil-A, whose identity hasn’t been confirmed, posted a video showing how the fast-food chain throws perfectly good chicken in the trash as the place is about to call the day quits. Apparently, this happens every day.
Many people who have seen the video say that the food could be instead given to the homeless who struggle to find anything to eat.
“What they do every night with the chicken nuggets at Chick-fil-A,” wrote the anonymous employee.
So far, the fast-food chain hasn’t come forward with a comment as the video spread on the social media site like a wildfire. A lot of people say that what the store does with their leftover food is at odds with their Christian values.
So far, the video has been seen over 7.8 million times.
Many took their time to share their thoughts, with one person writing: “The amount of food we throw away and the amount of starving people there are just doesn’t sit right with me.”
“Can confirm,” an employee commented. “We used to throw out SO much chicken…”
“Give them out for free, wtf,” someone added.
One person asked, “Why not give it to the homeless?”
Some of the comments are: “Give them out for free. What the hell.”
“Jesus would not approve.”
“They think God is okay with this?”
“Wait, I thought that at the end of the shift, the employees get to take the leftovers home.”
“They should just let the employees take it home,” one person suggested.
Others, on the other hand, say that getting rid of the food which wasn’t sold that day is what restaurants are simply required to do.
“Chicken that sits too long cannot be given out to the homeless hours later. It will get them sick. It’s not a doughnut,” one person stated.
“It is illegal to give food to the homeless in foodservice. Any food leftover goes to the employees or the trash.”
“I just got my food handlers test. They’re doing it right.”
However, some said that there was no chance for the chicken that was thrown to be cold as Chick-fil-A is quite a busy place and they cook fresh chicken all the time.
“All of you are saying it goes bad. It was made shortly before closing. You guys think they make them in the morning and just keep them hot?”
What do you think of this? Should they give the leftovers to those in need instead of throwing that much food in the trash?
