Cancer patient left fighting for his life after being attacked while buying flowers for mom’s grave

Marvin Herring from North Carolina was diagnosed with cancer three years ago, but he has never stopped believing that things may turn for the better. After the devastating diagnosis, he rarely went out and spent most of his time home, around his two grandchildren he loves to the moon and back.

On Tuesday, Marvin decided to go visit his mother’s grave, and on the way there, he stopped to buy some flowers. Unfortunately, as he was getting inside his van, one man approached and attacked him. Marvin’s stepdaughter Cortney Locklear shared what happened with WRAL News and explained: “[The guy] came up around the back of the van that he was driving, that was parked at the front door, and yanked him out of the van. When he was yanked out, he hit the concrete, hit his head pretty hard.”

During the attack, the attacker took Marvin’s wallet and money, and left him fighting for his life. Police reported he then drove off in a silver Dodge Magnum with a black left front rim together with two other men. The injuries Marvin sustained were so severe that he ended up on a ventilator.

Courtney said how the family isn’t certain what decision to make regarding taking Marvin off life support.

“It’s just a really sad situation,” Courtney told WRAL News. “I get married this year. I really hoped that he would really continue to persevere through the cancer and be able to make it to September. But, unfortunately, we were robbed. We were robbed of many memories, and he was robbed of whatever time he had left here.”

Friends and Family of Marvin Herring…I ask you to join me this morning in praying for our friend / our brother. I’ve…

We hope Marvin would be able to recover so that he can continue fighting his battle against cancer. In case he doesn’t make it, the attack will become a homicide investigation.

Woman tells puppy she loves him, starry-eyed French Bulldog says “I love you” back

Although dogs can’t speak, they always find a way to tell their owners how much they love them. After all, our canines are there to stay by our side through thick and thin, and that’s really how they show their emotions.

However, hearing the words “I love you” coming from the furry pals’ mouth must feel special, don’t you think so?

In the adorable video below, we see a human mommy holding her cute French Bulldog puppy in her arms telling him how much she loves him. Of course, she probably expects from him to give her a lick as a thank you for her affection towards him, but he does something truly incredible and unexpected.

Believe it or not, the Frenchie says “I love you” back.

The mom is over the moon and can’t believe her ears. She then tries making him say those cute words again, and the dog repeats them perfectly.

Although this video is one of the cutest we’ve ever seen, I still guess some dog owners would feel a bit jealous watching it.

A lot has been said of the love between Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russel, and one thing we can all agree on is that what these lovebirds have is what we all look for in life. Despite not getting married, their story has been going on for 38 years and according to them, the decision not to tie the knot is what made their relationship last that long.

On March 17, Russel turned 70 and Hawn surprised him with an iconic video of the two taken during an award ceremony when it looked like someone would pop the question. That definitely made fans laugh.

Along with the clip, Hawn also posted a touching message: “Happy birthday baby! What a wild ride. No, we never got married but one thing that continues to grow is our love.”

She then added, “You’re a wild one, brilliant, lovable, childlike, perfectly maddening, a father supreme and deeply funny! I can’t imagine my life without you at any age, Kurt Russell. You’re the catch. And you’re all mine.”

Hawn’s children also wished their Pa a very happy birthday.

Both Kate and Oliver Hudson have opened up about their relationship with Russel on many occasions and spoke of him as of the father figure in their life.

“I often wonder how different our life would have been if he never entered the picture. How different I would be. Let me fill you in,” Kate wrote on Instagram. “He’s a pick up your boot straps kinda dad. Don’t cry, shake it off you’re ok, kinda dad. Don’t let ‘em push you around you got this, kinda dad. Don’t listen to the noise you’re doing great, kinda dad. Shake those hips like no ones watching, kinda dad. Always get back on the horse, kinda dad. Never miss a show or game, kinda dad. Kids before anything, kinda dad. Work hard play hard, kinda dad. My girl can rule the world, kinda dad.”

“He’s an original. One of kind. A powerful, intelligent, talented, loyal family man,” Kate added. “He has taught me that we can all exist with immense love through our differences. And his dedication to my mother and their fight for love forever is as admirable as it gets. I love this man so much!”

Kate and Oliver are not on good terms with their biological dad who asked from them not to use his name after Oliver wished him Happy Abandonment Day on Father’s day and praised Russel, whom he considers his father.

We wish Kurt Russel a very happy birthday and many more to come. He is a very special person loved by everyone in his life.

The hit Jerusalema which caught the world by storm comes as a true comfort during these hard days for the humanity when the pandemic imposed a new “normal” which includes social distance, lockdowns, curfews, and economies and business on the brink of collapse.

Many accept the challenge to dance on the catchy music created by South African DJ and record producer Master KG and vocalist Nomcebo.

Among those who answered the challenge to film themselves dancing to the upbeat gospel-influenced house song are the nuns at of The Order of the Most Holy Redeemer or Redemptoristines. Their performance went viral for all the right reasons and gathered thousands of views as well as that many positive comments.

One Romanian videographer, who was helping the nuns make icons for their Lenten project, offered to film and edit their incredible dance video.

Speaking of the challenge, sister Lucy Conway told RTÉ News:We wanted to cheer people up. It’s been a tough time.”

The nuns could be seen dancing at different places of the monastery, as well as with their dogs.

Firefighter pays $1000 electricity bill for a boy on ventilator to keep him alive

Ryan McCuen is the man who went beyond his call of duty and showed kindness which made a difference between life and death.

This story took place a few years back, but it is so uplifting that it is worth sharing over and over again.

It all happened when Ryan’s department where he works as a firefighter got what they call a “nonemergecy call.” On the other side of the line was a mother in distress who feared for her son’s life. Christy Stone explained that their electricity was cut off as they had fallen behind on payments to the local utility. Her son Troy, who suffers from muscular dystrophy and can’t breath on his on, could die if his ventilator and all the machines that keep him alive would eventually stop working.

Hearing this, Ryan decided to do what he believes anyone in his place would. He paid the family’s bill himself, all $1,023.76 of it.

Ryan didn’t want people to know what he did. It was the Clinton Township Fire Chief Michael Phy who wanted this story heard.

We are so happy there are still people like Ryan there who restore our faith in humanity. May God bless you.

8-year-old boy learns how to drive from watching YouTube videos – Takes his younger sister to McDonald’s

By

-

Something completely out of the ordinary took place a few years back in Ohio. One 8-year-old boy who loved spending time watching How to Do It YouTube videos decided he could drive his 4-year-old sister to McDonald’s to grab some cheeseburgers.

He was waiting for the right time to embark on his little adventure and got inside the car while his mom and dad took naps.

Plenty of people witnessed the unusual sight, but it was the McDonald’s employees who called the police. When the little boy who was behind the wheel handed in his piggy bank trying to pay for the food, the cashiers were convinced it was some sort of prank and waited for the adults to get out of the vehicle, but when that didn’t happen, they knew they had to alert the authorities.

Patrolman Jacob Koehler told the Times that the boy drove around a mile and a half and “obeyed all traffic laws.” Further, the officer said that the young driver “didn’t hit a single thing on the way there. It was unreal!”

No charges were filed and the kids were treated the cheeseburgers they ordered.

Trophy hunters pose next to a dead lion, few moments later karma strikes back

By

Monica Pop

-

Most people find killing of innocent animals repellent. There are also those, however, who enjoy hunting and pay huge amounts of money to slay gorgeous animals like lions, elephants, and rhinos. These people find hunting entertaining and it is estimated that American trophy hunters import over 126,000 wildlife trophies per year on average from overseas, according to The Humane Society of the United States.

Back in 2015, one specific killing caused rage at people from all over the world, that of Cecil the lion who died at the hands of Minnesota dentist Walter Palmer. The incident took place in Zimbabwe and although Palmer had a hunting permit given by the government, which took big sum of money from him, it was reported how he first wounded the animal with a bow and arrow and “finished the job” the following day, which meant Cecil suffered. The loss of Cecil, who was much loved by many, “resulted in international media attention, caused outrage among animal conservationists, criticism by politicians and celebrities and a strong negative response against Palmer.”

This incident, however, didn’t stop other hunters from killing different animals, some of which on the list of endangered species.

The sad thing is that the rest of us aren’t really doing anything to stop this, except for feeling sorry for the creatures who lost their lives.

A lion from the video below is taking things into his own paws after his friend was killed by trophy hunters. As the killers are getting ready to take a photo with their trophy another lion comes from behind and starts chasing them. In the next moment, we see the lion getting back so we assume he didn’t hurt the killers, but at least he scared them to death.

People are commenting how “karma strikes back” and that “they got what they deserved.”

Take a look at the video below and share it with animal lovers.

McDonald’s employee jumps through window to save off-duty police officer and her kids

By

The day started as any other for South Florida McDonald’s employee Pedro Viloria, 22, but soon, something no one expected coming happened.

Viloria was serving a mom and her two kids through the drive-thru window. The woman paid for the order and everything seemed just fine, but when he went to hand her the food, he noticed she wasn’t breathing properly.

In the next moment, the car started moving and it was obvious the woman lost control of the vehicle. The kids could be heard screaming, “Mother, mother stop it what are you doing!” according to Viloria.

The brave worker knew he had to act quickly in order to avoid a tragedy from taking place, so he jumped through the window and put himself in front of the car. Speaking to Inside Edition, Viloria explained: “I thought if these kids lose their mother today it would have been tragic. If I would have had to die to save that woman, I would have done it.”

Another person who was at the restaurant at the time also rushed to help.

The woman in the car happened to be an off-duty officer. She was transferred to the hospital where she was offered further help, but no other details have been revealed.

Asked why he did what he did, Viloria said, “My brain was on hero mode.”

The owner of the local McDonald’s told NBC Miami of Viloria: “He is an excellent employee, so it didn’t surprise me that he took immediate action and jumped through a window to help save this woman. And he was not the only member of the team that played a pivotal role in ensuring she received the medical attention she needed. A second employee, who asked to remain unnamed, assisted with CPR.”

We hope the woman will soon recover and we praise the young man for his incredible heroic action.

9-year-old boy offers free mowing services to the elderly, disabled, veterans, and single moms

It’s not every day that we see young children getting involved in helping the community. The fact is that most youngsters are busy studying, taking up activities they enjoy doing, like sports, and hanging out with their friends. But 9-year-old Jesse Ward from Warner Robins, Georgia is not your average kid. This young man decided to spend his free time completing a very unique and useful challenge set up by Rodney Smith from Alabama.

The nationwide 50 yard challenge asks from kids aged 7 to 17 to beautify 50 yards of members of their communities. So far, around 700 young people have responded to it.

Jesse is hoping to complete the challenge by the end of October.

He offers his free services to single moms, disabled people, the elderly and veterans.

Smith’s organization, Raising Men Lawn Care Service gives the kids t-shirts, earplugs, and safety glasses. Just like the ones Jesse is wearing on the photo.

Speaking to 11Alive.com, this young man said: “Some people, they can’t cut their grass, they have to hire somebody to do it. I’m doing this for free.” Jesse reaches to those people who need his services through the Facebook page his mom Jennifer set up.

“He enjoys doing it. Just because he feels good about himself doing it, like paying it forward for someone, so it makes me feel good that it makes him happy,” the proud mom said.

His neighbors are thankful for everything Jesse does for them. “One person said, ‘This is the best my yard has ever looked.’ And then the other person said, ‘My yard looks really good, thank you,’” Jesse shared.

Thank you young man, you truly are an inspiration. Take a look at the whole story in the video below and don’t forget to share it with your friends.

Woman at Dunkin’ Donuts gets angry after cashier tells her that a dozen means 12 not 50

Different people are good at different things, and the fact is that we can never be experts on everything, but possessing basic knowledge about things is simply a must.

A woman waiting in line at Dunkin’ Donuts seems to be lacking general knowledge as she gets into an argument with the cashier over what “a dozen” means. Apparently, when she asked for a dozen donuts, she expected 50, no more, no less!

When the employee tried to explain to her that she’s wrong and that a dozen stands for 12, she got angry.

Firefighter saves baby’s life by giving her CPR while swiftly climbing down the ladder

By

For them, saving lives is just another day on the job, but for us, firefighters are our everyday heroes who many times put their own lives on the line for the sake of saving someone else’s.

A video taken some 20 years ago of two firefighters saving a baby from a burning building emerged recently and people praise the hard work and the dedication of the firefighters everywhere.

Source: Facebook/Fairborn Fire Department History

It shows a home that had gone up in flames on Hebble Avenue in Fairborn, Ohio, and a mother in distress and in anticipation of seeing her child being taken out to safety. As she’s looking at the two firefighters, Bob Swick and Scott Lewis, she finally notices Lewis at the window with baby Chelsea. Swick then takes the little one in his arms and shows incredible presence of mind.

Without even thinking twice, he gets down the ladder backwards while holding Chelsea and performing CPR.

Sweet Chelsea was rushed to the hospital and stayed there for a week because she inhaled an unhealthy amount of the smoke.

Thank you Swick and Lewis. You are a proof that not all heroes wear capes. You can take a look at the incredible video by the Fairborn Fire Department History below.

Abused and starved 11-year-old boy kept in a basement for years “cried every night and prayed to die”

By

Monica Pop

Brothers Eddie Carter and Ethan Kelly were over the moon when they were finally adopted back in 2007. Little did they know, however, that their life will turn into a living hell under the care of their new parents, Richard and Cynthia Kelly.

The boys were kept locked in the basement, beaten, starved, and intimidated, while everyone else was living in the house.

Around a year after the adoption was complete, the abusive couple decided to give Eddie away, but sadly, his brother left in the house of horror and experienced the unimaginable. During the court hearing against his abusers, Ethan recalled how he was forced to spend 23 hours a day in the basement. There was a camera that didn’t work there, but Richard and Cynthia convinced the boy that they were watching his every move.

Posted by Gabriel’s Tree: A Tribute to Abused, Missing and Murdered Children on Wednesday, 11 December 2019

Ethan was severely bitten with belts and wooden paddles and was forced to hit his head against the wall. His fragile body was full of open wounds on which the two psychopaths would put salt and alcohol. In the food they gave him, the Kelly’s would often put very hot sauce and made poor Ethan run laps around the house, as reported by AL.com.

“This wasn’t the dream. I cried every night and prayed for Jesus to end it all,” Ethan said in court, as reported by New York Post. “They told me I was a bad child. They told me no one loved me or would ever love me.”

Posted by Gabriel’s Tree: A Tribute to Abused, Missing and Murdered Children on Wednesday, 11 December 2019

Ethan’s suffering only came to light when he was brought to hospital one day. He was adopted when he was just 11, and was 14 at the time he was seen by the doctors who were left in complete shock by the severity of his health condition. Ethan only weighted 55 pounds.

The Kellys defended themselves by saying that they didn’t mean to hurt him, they only did “what we thought was best.”

Posted by Marlei Martinez on Tuesday, 15 November 2016

Ethan is now an 18-year-old man who is studying at Jefferson County high school. Four years after he was taken to hospital and the story about his life came to light, he faced Richard and Cynthia at court and said: “I’m not who I used to be. I’m not even who I was supposed to be. I lived the story of Cinderella with no happy ending.”

The abusers were only given 2 years in prison.”It would be somewhere in the realm of 20 years to life if I weren’t constrained by the law. But I am,” said Shelby County Circuit Judge William H. Bostick.

As for Ethan, he decided it would be for the best if he left his past behind and do all in his power to move on. As reported by AL.com, his last words to the people who made his life miserable were: “Even though you’ll never say, ‘I’m sorry,’ I forgive you.”

Two-month-old baby girl is chatting with her dad and we can’t get enough

Dads and daughters! The bond created between them stars from the moment the little ones are welcomed into this world and lasts forever. No matter if some argue against it, the fact is that the love between dads and daughters can’t be compared to any other.

If you don’t trust us, just a single glance as baby Arabella and her daddy Zac is enough to convince you otherwise.

Zac is holding his 2-month-old girl in his arms and the two are having the cutest conversation ever. We are glad the mom decided to put this on tape. In fact, the family is taking a bunch of videos of their kids and upload them on their YouTube channel “Sophie & Boys,” and no matter how much we like the content they share, this video is definitely our favorite.

Although Arabella is way too young to be able to speak, it looks as though she is answering back to her dad. We are so sad we don’t understand a “word” she says, but from what we can see, she’s going to grow up into a chatty young lady.

Take a look at the video below and enjoy!

If Ricky Gervais is one of your favorite comedians, his views on poaching and trophy hunting will make you love him even more. Although he is best known for making us laugh because of his incredible sense of humor, this time he is discussing a relatively serious issue and he defends his opinions using language and examples that will make it easy for everyone to understand his point.

He has a word or two to tell the animal killers who, no matter how ironical it sounds, see themselves as conservators of the wildlife.

The brilliant RICKY GERVAIS supports the Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting! Do you??

Speaking to The Sun, this incredible man known for his infamous Golden Globes hosting gigs and a prominent supporter of the Campaign to Ban Trophy Hunting says: “Why are we even having to make the case for banning trophy hunting in the year 2020? It’s hard to think of anything more sickening or senseless than killing an animal for entertainment, then hacking it up so you can display its body parts and brag about it.”

After the killing of Cecil the lion prompted outrage in 2015, everyone believed that trophy hunting would somehow decline, but sadly, it wasn’t the case.

Today, more than five years after that incident, Gervais is again taking a stand and dubs trophy hunting as “humanity at its very worst.”

The Campaign to End Trophy Hunting reports that the number of lions killed in the wild during the last decade by trophy hunters exceeds 10,000. According to them, the number of lions left is only 20,000 and they are now at-risk species.

Luckily, there are some great news coming in as Prime Minister Boris Johnson has “renewed a pledge to ban trophy hunters bringing their sick souvenirs back to Britain,” as reported by the Mirror.

Toddler makes everyone crying during his adoption

By

Kelly White

-

Having children in your lives is a blessing from God, but how you sometimes go about that can be a different path for each one of us, as Mandi and Tyler found out. They always wanted to have children but struggled to get pregnant.

Mandi said:

“After failed pregnancy test and failed pregnancy test, I talked to my doctors …They were still hopeful, but I realized quickly that I couldn’t gain weight. So I’m like, ‘how am I going to be able to carry a child?’” she said.”

“Being diagnosed with Crohn’s disease also complicated their dreams …We kept hearing the cry for foster parents in our area. So we talked about it and prayed about it and we signed up for the classes”

“Once we got licensed as foster-to-adopt parents, that week, we got the phone call for Hunter”

Since then they have dreamed of the day when they would be able to make their own family together.

Mandi went on to say:

“We went and picked him up at Children’s Services. We brought him home and we went through the roller coaster ride of foster care for that entire year”

It was only a year later, with all the uncertainty in between that the Palmers got the word, finally, that they could start the process of adoption.

They did the necessary paperwork at the courthouse and signed all the papers, they were very keen to get everything done and finished.

Madni said that the process was very emotional for her, but in a good way too, and that all their friends and family were there for them too!

Mandi said that:

“At the end of the court process, the judge announced [Hunter’s] new legal name. And they read the adoption decree and that’s when Hunter looked at my husband and he shouted, ‘Dad!’ “

“He just started clapping and everybody just started crying ..It was so emotional. It’s definitely rewarding.”

“It’s nice to look in his eyes now and not have to worry that he’s ever gonna have to leave us again.”

Even though Mandi and her hubby were really hesitant to enter the foster program, Mandi felt like she got a call from God to do it this way, she felt very good about it all!

She said:

“We prayed on it, and we just felt like God pushed us to do it”

Now Mandi feels that she really did the right thing, everything happens for a reason sometimes and Mandi feels her reason was Hunter, now they are complete as a family together.

Please SHARE this lovely story with friends and family and if you too are trying to get pregnant, maybe you could take inspiration from Mandi…

Soldiers say final goodbye to K-9 by covering his body with American flag

By

Monica Pop

Only those who have ever lost a pet they considered family know the pain behind the thought of never having to hold that creature in their arms again.

K-9 Bodza was an 11-year-old German Shepherd loved and respected by the entire community. He served loyally his entire life and was part of a number of missions outside U.S. Bodza was deployed in Iraq, Kyrgyzstan, and Kuwait and worked as a bomb detection dog with the U.S. Air Force.

Although he was there to protect many members of the military, it was soldier Kyle Smith who created a very close bond with Bodza. The two first met during their deployment in Kyrgyzstan in 2012 and became best of pals.

Speaking to The Dodo, Smith said of his friend: “I loved working with him because he taught me a lot — patience as a young handler, and how to understand that this job isn’t just about you. Bodza was a goofy and gentle dog. We had horse stables directly beside our obedience yard and when [the horses] were out, no obedience was going to be done. He’d run the fence line continuously.”

Unfortunately, brave Bodza was diagnosed with degenerative myelopathy, a disease affecting his spine. That affected his walking and caused him pain with each step he struggled to take.

“His hind limbs lost their use and he could barely stand up anymore, much less walk,” Smith explained. “He couldn’t handle the stress on his body and using the restroom was a task.”

Not wanting to see him suffer any longer, Smith decided it would be for the best if he put Bodza to sleep. The dog died at an El Paso, Texas, clinic.

A number of soldiers were there to pay their tributes and thank Bodza for everything he had done for them. His body was draped in an American flag as a thank you for serving the country.

The photo of Bodza’s body soon went viral and became a representation of all the hard work by the K-9 dogs who are not afraid to lose their lives in order to protect ours’.

Rest in peace, Bodza. You will be dearly missed.

Judge reduces sentence for pastor who raped his 14-year-old daughter because he is a “man of God”

By

The case of Amber, an adopted girl who was repeatedly raped by her pastor father left the country in a complete shock. What made everyone even more angry is that the rapist’s sentence, which was recommended to be 71 years behind bars, was reduced to just 12.

The reason for the lenient sentence was that the pastor, 41-year-old David Richards, started studying the Bible with the inmates in jail, according to Judge Steve Sword.

Amber Richard’s ordeal started when she was 14 years old and lasted for two long years. Unlike other child victims of sexual abuse whose identity is not unveiled to the public, brave Amber wanted both her name and her story to be heard. “I wanted to throw my body away. Not a day goes by that I don’t, in some way, think of what he did to me,” the girl said.

David never confessed of his acts against his adoptive daughter. However, forensics found traces of his semen on the girl’s bed frame. Speaking in court, he said, “I stand before you convicted of crimes I did not commit. I simply believe the system just erred in this case. I’m not sure why I’m here…but I assume it’s for his (God’s) purpose.”

Many of his close friends, including pastor David Thomspon, stood for David. “I find it impossible for me to believe he’s guilty of this. His business needs him. His family needs him. Our church needs him,” Thompson said.

“David Richards took the stand in his own defense, painting his accuser as a defiant teenager…

“Forensic testing, however, uncovered the presence of seminal fluid with a DNA profile matching that of David Richards on the girl’s bed frame.” https://t.co/neo3AtKYF7

Amber, on the other hand, said that in case David gets out of prison, he will likely commit the crime again. “I firmly believe if given the opportunity, he would victimize another girl,” she added.

USA TODAY Network posted a video after the trial in which Amber reacts of her father’s conviction on nine felony counts, including rape, incest and sexual battery, in Knox County Criminal Court, “I’m just glad that I can finally move on with my life. And I didn’t really do this for me. I did it so it didn’t happen to anybody else. and so nobody else is in the same situation as I am, especially amazing kids. They don’t deserve to go through things like that and if I had to be the one to make sure that it never happens again then I would want to do that.”

Among those who slammed Meghan Markle publicly following her interview with Oprah Winfrey is controversial Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

Carlson is convinced that the Duchess of Sussex is only trying to depict herself as the victim, but is in fact a “manipulative opportunist” and a “narcissist.” On his show Tucker Carlson Tonight on Tuesday, he made sure he spoke openly on how he feels regarding Meghan’s words and brought the attention to the story about the argument between Meghan and Kate which apparently took place just before the wedding.

“Here’s this royal person, one of the most famous and fawned over people in the world telling Oprah that she was incredibly wounded because she got into some sort of petty argument about dresses with her sister-in-law at her wedding three years ago. So stop the presses,” the host said before he invoked one of the darkest days in the American history.

“She and her sister-in-law had a tiff about clothes. That’s never happened before. She thinks this is important enough to bring up in a television interview. It was her 9/11. So of course she considers it newsworthy. OK, so she’s a narcissist.”

Speaking to Oprah, Meghan raised her concerns over the Royal family choosing to lie in order to protect other members, “but they weren’t willing to tell the truth to protect me and my husband,” referring to the media headlines that she made Kate cry, when just the opposite happened, according to the former Suit actress. The Palace did not try to correct those writings.

Carlson further explained how he felt Meghan didn’t have the right to feel oppressed after she became part of the Royal family.

“What she’s really saying is that despite her enormous wealth and fame, despite the fact she never has to cook her own dinner or drive her own car ever again as long as she lives … she is, and this is the headline here, she’s actually an oppressed victim. She may look powerful, but she’s powerless.”

Candace Owens says Meghan Markle is a “liar” and a “narcissist” after interview

It doesn’t really come as a surprise that basically everyone wants their opinion regarding the Harry and Meghan interview heard. Described as a bombshell interview seen by millions, the former royals’ words echoed to each and every corner of the world, and while some support them and agree that their life in the Palace did not resemble a fairytall at all, others believe they are only seeking attention and don’t trust the word they said.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but if a woman threatens to kill herself and your unborn child, you are in an emotionally abusive relationship.

— Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) March 8, 2021

Among the latter are Pierce Morgan, who quit his show in the U.K. after openly calling Meghan a liar, and political activist Candace Owens, who believes that “Piers Morgan was all of us when he was dressing down Meghan Markle and calling her out on the blatant lies that she’s told.”

Calling her a liar herself, Owens added: “She [Meghan] can’t even keep her story straight, by the way, if anybody remembers, about three years ago she said in a panel that she does not read newspapers, that she does not check social media because she does not like to read stories about her.”

Further, Owens said Meghan was a “narcissist.” She believes that the former actress felt immense pressure by the media and that was the reason why she decided to say she was at one point thinking of ending her own life.

Owens also spoke of the issue Meghan and Harry brought up regarding Archie’s skin color and said the Duchess couldn’t possibly face racial abuse because “when you look at her, you would not be able to discern just by looking at Meghan Markle that she’s black.”

What are your thoughts on Owens’ accusations of Meghan?

The interview which shook not only Britain, but the entire world, and is still number one topic, made the wide public divided over who to trust, the former royals, Harry and Meghan, or the Palace.

The shocking revelations triggered the hashtag #AbolishTheMonarchy to be trending all over the social media.

People are wondering what was really going on behind closed doors as Meghan accused the Royals of not being enough supportive, especially when she came forward to them about her suicidal thoughts, which she described as “a very clear and real and frightening, constant thought.”

The bombshell interview revealed that the life in the Palace is not as harmonious as most of us considered it to be, and now that The Sussexes stepped down from their royal duties, for good, they are no longer constrained as to what they can and can’t say about the most famous family in the world.

Right after the couple opened their hearts to Oprah, and spoke of the conversation one of the senior royals had with them as to how dark Archie’s skin might be before he was welcomed into the world, everyone was in anticipation of hearing what the Queen would have to say about the allegations.

Queen Elizabeth II, released a statement in which she wrote: “The whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan.” The statement further read that the issue of raise is concerning.

Among the rest, Harry said that his brother, The Duke of Cambridge, and his father, Prince Charles, were trapped. He was trapped as well, but now he was free.

But as no one except for the Queen has commented on the interview, the public has been eager to hear what William and Charles think of Harry’s words. According to Sky News, William, who will one day conceivably be King of England, said: “We are very much not a racist family.” Asked whether he spoke to his brother, he answered: “No, I haven’t spoken to him yet but I will do.”

Regarding his relationship with his brother and father, Harry told Oprah: “The relationship is space at the moment. And time heals all things, hopefully.”

We honestly hope the brothers will be able to put any arguments aside and will be close as before.

Woman sees homeless man every day: Piece of paper she shared online about him reveals his true identity and brings him to his family

Life is unpredictable and we never know what awaits us around the corner. A man named Raimundo Arrudo Sobrinho knows that best. During the military dictatorship that troubled his country of Brazil in the 1970s, he became homeless and spent long 35 years of his life on the streets.

Looking dirty, not many people would ever get near him so he was all alone most of his days. His only companions were the papers and his pen.

This homeless man was a poetry writer and would put his words down, but sadly, no one has ever got to read any of them.

Luckily, that was all about to change when a very special woman named Shalla came across his path.

She noticed Raimundo would always write something and her curiosity didn’t leave her at ease until she approached him one day and asked him about his papers.

After she read his work, she was left stunned but his incredible talent so she decided to do something for him, and her act changed this man’s life forever.

Shalla knew it would be pity for Raimundo’s poems not to be shared with the world, so she shared them on Facebook along with his life story.

The post got the attention of many people who said his work was indeed extraordinary. They shared it with their friends and very soon, more than 100,000 people followed the page dedicated to Raimundo and couldn’t wait for more poems to be shared on it.

It took one woman that recognized one homeless’ man talent for his life to be turned upside down.

The most incredible thing was that one of the people who stumbled upon Shalla’s Facebook page was Raimundo’s long lost brother.

He recognized Raimundo under the filthy clothes and the long beard and contacted him. A very touching encounter was about to take place and it touched the hearts of many.

Raimundo was reunited with his family and was invited to live with them. He finally got to have a place he could call a home.

The years spent on the streets were now in the past.

Raimundo’s incredible life story was featured in the documentary “The Conditioned.”

It teaches us that no matter our wealth or looks, we are all humans who need a little love and support to find our place in this world.

Shalla’s simple act of kindness went a long way and made a change that neither she nor Raimundo ever believed was possible.

Courtney said how the family isn’t certain what decision to make regarding taking Marvin off life support.

Hawn’s children also wished their Pa a very happy birthday.

Many accept the challenge to dance on the catchy music created by South African DJ and record producer Master KG and vocalist Nomcebo.

Hearing this, Ryan decided to do what he believes anyone in his place would. He paid the family’s bill himself, all $1,023.76 of it.

When Charlene posted a few photos of herself in hilarious situations, she never thought her creativity will make her so famous.

He was waiting for the right time to embark on his little adventure and got inside the car while his mom and dad took naps.

This incident, however, didn’t stop other hunters from killing different animals, some of which on the list of endangered species.

Asked why he did what he did, Viloria said, “My brain was on hero mode.”

He offers his free services to single moms, disabled people, the elderly and veterans.

Without even thinking twice, he gets down the ladder backwards while holding Chelsea and performing CPR.

The boys were kept locked in the basement, beaten, starved, and intimidated, while everyone else was living in the house.

The Kellys defended themselves by saying that they didn’t mean to hurt him, they only did “what we thought was best.”

If you don’t trust us, just a single glance as baby Arabella and her daddy Zac is enough to convince you otherwise.

After the killing of Cecil the lion prompted outrage in 2015, everyone believed that trophy hunting would somehow decline, but sadly, it wasn’t the case.

Since then they have dreamed of the day when they would be able to make their own family together.

They did the necessary paperwork at the courthouse and signed all the papers, they were very keen to get everything done and finished.

Only those who have ever lost a pet they considered family know the pain behind the thought of never having to hold that creature in their arms again.

Not wanting to see him suffer any longer, Smith decided it would be for the best if he put Bodza to sleep. The dog died at an El Paso, Texas, clinic.

The reason for the lenient sentence was that the pastor, 41-year-old David Richards, started studying the Bible with the inmates in jail, according to Judge Steve Sword.

Amber, on the other hand, said that in case David gets out of prison, he will likely commit the crime again. “I firmly believe if given the opportunity, he would victimize another girl,” she added.
