First of all‚ today I learned that John Mellencamp is no longer John Cougar Mellancamp…. When did that happen&;#63; I think I’m stuck in the 1990s&;#33; Either that or I don’t really give a damn about this washed up has-been‚ but yet here he is invading my Twitter feed so now I’m forced to talk about him. Thanks for nothing Cougar&;#33; Anyway‚ here’s what happened… Many posts on Twitter claim that Cougar was rambling about how great Joe Biden is‚ the crowd didn’t like it very much‚ and then Cougar gets upset and starts lecturing the crowd.  Then in a temper-tantrum he declares he’s “cutting 10 songs from the concert” then starts to play a few bars of a song only to declare the concert is cancelled and storms off stage. That’s partially right but appears to be partially wrong. Watch here and then I’ll explain: The John Mellencamp video is hilarious. Not only does he piss off his audience by rambling about how great Joe “Inflation‚ Border Crisis and Foreign Chaos” Biden is‚ but then he just storms off stage when the audience shos its preference for his music to his political opinions… pic.twitter.com/pYma6nD5Us — Will Tanner (@Will_Tanner_1) April 16‚ 2024 Many claimed he just Bud Lighted himself: John Mellencamp just Bud Light’d or Dixie Chick’d himself while on stage. Who would want to give him a penny of their hard earned money&;#63; pic.twitter.com/mBwS6CZri7 — Glockford Files (@GlockfordFiles) April 16‚ 2024 But….even though I don’t really care much for this guy‚ I have to report honestly here and it does not appear as though he was booed for talking about Joe Biden. He did get booed and did storm off stage in a temper-tantrum‚ but it seems as though it was unrelated to Joe Biden. It appears as though this Community Note is accurate: Watch the longer clip here and you can see it for yourself: Last month‚ the prominent liberal John Mellencamp threw a tantrum and stormed off stage mid-song after getting upset because a few minutes earlier one of the concert-goers told him to stop talking and play music. Allegedly‚ Mellencamp was discussing politics right before his… pic.twitter.com/98ClS8SGkv — I Meme Therefore I Am (@ImMeme0) April 16‚ 2024 That all said‚ I’m not saying he’s a great guy. He DOES have a history of far-left political views and slowing down a concert to express them. This just happens to have not been one of those times. Which is funny because he built his whole career based on wholesome‚ small-town America songs‚ which would be mostly filled by MAGA style Republicans‚ not far left California looney liberals: “Jack and Diane” – Often considered his signature song‚ “Jack and Diane” tells a story about two American teenagers navigating life and dreams. It became a number one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1982. “Hurts So Good” – Released from the same album as “Jack and Diane‚” this song also enjoyed substantial chart success‚ reaching number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and becoming a staple of classic rock radio. “Pink Houses” – Known for its reflective lyrics about the American heartland‚ “Pink Houses” was another major hit for Mellencamp‚ peaking at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1983. “Small Town” – This song celebrates life in small-town America and is one of Mellencamp’s most enduring tracks‚ reflecting his own upbringing in Seymour‚ Indiana. “R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A.” – A tribute to 1960s rock music and its influence‚ this song became a top ten hit in 1986‚ further cementing Mellencamp’s status as a key voice in heartland rock. Most important rule John….know your audience. You seem to have forgotten that long ago.

New York City is done. Illegal aliens‚ communists‚ religious fascists‚ corrupt politicians – judges – DA – and academics govern the city. There is no sign that residents will vote for normal leaders.

Attorneys representing Nashville‚ Tennessee argued Tuesday in court that police were still investigating aspects of the shooting committed at the Covenant School last March‚ when a transgender-identifying shooter murdered six people‚ and‚ therefore‚ the city is unable to release documents related to the case such as the shooter’s writings. The argument came during a hearing over whether to release the killer’s writings‚ which have thus far been sealed from the public. The hearing‚ overseen by Judhr I’Ashea L. Myles‚ took place at the Davidson County Chancery Court in Nashville‚ comes just over a year after three young children and three school staff members were killed during the shooting at Covenant‚ a private Christian school in Nashville.  During the hearing‚ Lora Fox‚ an attorney for the city of Nashville‚ indicated that the city’s police were still investigating the shooting‚ including probing whether the transgender-identifying killer had any accomplices. The shooter was shot dead by authorities on the scene of the crime‚ and there has thus far been no indication that anybody else was involved. Notably‚ Fox stated that Nashville police expected to wrap up their investigation by July 1. Fox said the police are prepared to release most of their investigative file‚ excluding some details about school security and diagrams of the school. When questioned by Myles‚ she also said that she believed that the killer’s journal‚ which was found in the car she left at the school‚ would be able to be released to the public with some redactions. The debate during the hearing pinned on interpretation of the Tennessee Public Records Act and the Tennessee Crime Victims’ Bill of Rights. Lawyers for groups advocating for the documents to be released say there is compelling public interest for the public to view the killer’s writings. “The only question before the court is whether there are any exemptions that preclude public access to these records‚” said Doug Pierce‚ a lawyer for the National Police Association‚ one of the groups represented in the lawsuit. “There is a presumption of openness. Those parties have the burden of proof here. The statutes should be construed to allow the public access to records.” A lawyer for Judicial Watch‚ which is representing one of the groups in court‚ argued that Metro Nashville needs to provide a more detailed list of materials obtained from the shooter‚ as well as specific reasons why they’re exempted from release. Lawyers for both Covenant School and Covenant Presbyterian Church‚ where the school is located‚ argued against the release of the writings. The church asked for more limited redactions pertaining to security while the school requested a broad ban on any of the killer’s writings being released. Peter Klett‚ a lawyer for the school‚ argued that releasing the shooter’s writings could trigger more hatred and violence toward children and Christians. “Hateful words of the shooter certainly may have an audience in the general public‚” he said‚ arguing against their release. Limited portions of the alleged manifesto were leaked by commentator Steven Crowder‚ who obtained three photographs of the writings. The pages included racial slurs against white children as well as an itinerary for “death day‚” which articulated the shooter’s intent to have a “high death count.” Brent Leatherwood‚ a parent of several children who attend the Covenant School and the head of the Southern Baptist denomination’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission‚ briefly spoke with reporters outside the courtroom after the Tuesday hearing. Leatherwood said the “deranged ramblings” of the shooter did not qualify as public records. He said the lawyers seeking the release of the writings acted like they were representing the shooter because their desire to release the writings would give her notoriety. The case is expected to resume on Wednesday at 10:00 a.m. when the court is expected to hear arguments from Covenant school parents and rebuttals from the groups seeking the release of the documents. It is unclear when Myles will issue her decision on whether to release the writings or not.
