A woman struggling to walk is shocked when the lead singer in Coldplay stops to help her. What would you do if your favorite celebrity stopped to help you out of a bind? Saundra Glenn, a 64-year-old fan of Coldplay, doesn't go out to concerts anymore because her hips bother her. But she couldn't pass up the opportunity to see her favorite band in her hometown. That night, as she readied herself for the concert, she was thrilled to experience Coldplay live.

She stopped to rest and even considered going home, but then a black Mercedes pulled up beside her. A female driver asked Saundra if she needed assistance getting to the concert. Saundra couldn't believe her luck and was thankful for the ride. But she got the shock of her life when the back door opened, and she came face to face with Chris Martin, the lead singer of Coldplay. "The door opens and I said, ‘Oh that's Chris Martin, I can't get in with him' and they said ‘yes you can,’" Saundra said. Chris assured her it was no problem at all to help her out. Then Saundra joked, "I'm 64 Chris, I don't do festivals, I've come just to see you and now I've seen you and I can go home," which made the star laugh. Saundra Found Herself In the Company of The Lead Singer in Coldplay Despite initial hesitations, Saundra found herself in the company of her musical idol, forming an instant connection as they shared jokes and bonded over shared experiences. During their conversation, Saundra mentioned a campaign to alter the lyrics of Coldplay’s song ‘Yellow’ to ‘Orange’ in tribute to Luton and its football club. While Chris remained discreet, he hinted at “a good surprise” in store. True to his word, Coldplay unveiled a brand-new song, ‘Orange,’ during the performance as a tribute to Saundra’s hometown. However, Chris' compassion and kindness extended beyond the stage; he ensured Saundra’s safe arrival at her destination and arranged assistance for her to reach her seat. Saundra’s encounter left an indelible mark, not solely due to the concert’s splendor but also owing to Chris' genuine care and attentiveness. She fondly describes him as “such a kind person,” deeply appreciative of the unforgettable act of kindness that brightened her day. RELATED: Family Was Homeless and Living in a Van Until the Kindness of Strangers Changed Everything It Was Quite the Act of Kindness Saundra said, "He gave me an act of kindness that I'll forever be grateful for, and he's given Luton its cool back, thank you." Meeting Chris Martin transcended merely seeing her favorite band; it was an encounter with an everyday angel whose warmth and compassion brought immeasurable joy and kindness to her world. What an incredible gift! Hebrews 10:24 “And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works.” That moment when Chris Martin @Coldplay saw me struggling to walk, stopped and gave me a lift to #BBC Accessible. Xx We had a lovely chat too. Plus he likes #Luton. I loved his #song for us. What a booming amazing time. And what a decent bloke #BigWeekend#SeeMyLuton pic.twitter.com/BgQooFXcWe - Saundra Glenn (@OfficialSaundra) May 26, 2024 YOU MAY ALSO LIKE: Elderly Woman Living All Alone Pens Note to Neighbors That Shows the Power of Kindness LISTEN: 7 Adult Siblings Show up for a Sleepover with Parents | Bear Grylls Recalls Helping with Russell Brand's Baptism h/t: Inspire More Featured Image Credit: Twitter/@OfficialSaundra The post Woman Struggling to Walk Is Shocked When the Lead Singer in Coldplay Stops to Help Her appeared first on GodUpdates.

Oh my…. Do not shoot the messenger here, I am just the reporter! But it appears as though a new report claims that facial analysis and facial recognition technology has gone rogue….(falsely of course) identifying Michelle Obama as a man. Take a look at this very tongue-in-cheek post by Clif High: We must stop this insanity NOW! Digitial Software is SO DUMB it thinks that Michelle Obama is a MAN!https://t.co/6wxZ99wVnl — clif is antiselenite (@clif_high) June 13, 2024 Stew Peters posts the full clip right here: Facial analysis and facial recognition studies have concluded that “Michelle” Obama is a man. pic.twitter.com/K53n5s7GRI — Stew Peters (@realstewpeters) June 11, 2024 Backup video here: Is this PBS claiming Facial Recognition Technology falsely identified Michelle Obama as a man? pic.twitter.com/oAPqIg7NzA — DailyNoah.com (@DailyNoahNews) June 14, 2024 A couple notes…. We cannot independently verify the validity of that clip or if it comes from PBS Frontline as it seems to claim. I also note the quality is low, which is often ripe ground for fakes and alterations. So it may be 100% fake, but interesting none-the-less! Or it could be 100% true, and not only could the video be authentic but the underlying conclusion could be true as well. What if the computers didn’t “get it wrong” but actually did exactly what they were designed to do? We should note Grok claims there is no evidence at all that Michelle Obama is a man: Grok ¥ @grokWell, well, well, it seems we’ve stumbled upon one of the internet’s most persistent rumors. According to the information available, Michelle Obama is not a man. This rumor seems to have originated from digitally altered photos and social media speculation, which… — American Bjorn (@MrBalassi) June 4, 2024 But I happen to find this montage very interesting: The Big Mike Obama Collection 1. “When Mike, uh, when Michelle” 2. “Michael and I” 3. “Michelle is transgender” – Joan Rivers (RIP) 4.

And I'll end with this.... Don't forget what Barrack's own brother constantly posts about "Big Mike": Malik Obama AGAIN Posts About "Big Mike" This is a flashback to a story we previously covered.  In case you missed it. Any time I cover Barack Hussein Obama's brother Malik, or his comments about "Big Mike" I always give a big disclaimer: I don't make the news, I just report it. And it is most definitely newsworthy when Hussein's own brother keeps making these posts. Today he posted this picture, with no comment: pic.twitter.com/nQJ4ytNAxi — Malik Obama (@ObamaMalik) November 20, 2022 You can garner whatever conclusion you want from that image, but it does appear as though Michelle is towering over Hussein and she has better delts than I could ever hope to have! People took to Twitter to post their own replies... Here are just some of the top ones: pic.twitter.com/tRxRr2zrkV — Trunalimumumaprzure! (@chodeandtheboys) November 20, 2022 Of course we all remember what happened to Joan Rivers: https://twitter.com/MommaMalamute/status/1594362054294503427 Big Mike? pic.twitter.com/8FUtVTyrdv — Sub Divo… (@SubDivo_Simius) November 21, 2022 Ali on the top, Michelle on the bottom. The Greatest! pic.twitter.com/FY9z7Ha96a — Fweedom (@Fweedom5) November 21, 2022 This was the THIRD time Malik has posted about Hussein in just the past week. Here are the others: Barack Obama's Brother Calls Him A "Traitor" Noah here, and if you're looking for the Complaint Department you can send all complaints directly to Barrack Hussein Obama's brother, Malik Obama -- don't send them to me. I'm merely reporting what he just posted. Don't shoot the messenger. But my oh my, can you believe he just said this? Check out the time stamp: November, 10, 2022: I don't hate Barack Obama. I'm just upset that he turned out to be what he is. A traitor. — Malik Obama (@ObamaMalik) November 20, 2022 And here's a screenshot in case he deletes it, but I don't think he will: Wow! Literally called it out: a TRAITOR. I assume that means Treason to the United States? Perhaps it means something else. Maybe it means a traitor to their home country... Maybe it means a traitor to their family... Maybe all of the above. I don't know. He followed it by doubling down and saying not only is he a traitor but he "sold his soul". Take a look: We used to be like Frick an Frack until he sold his soul. — Malik Obama (@ObamaMalik) November 20, 2022 And look at one of the comments he replied to: If Hussein's own family hates him this much, how bad must he really be? Worse than we even thought? It's not the first time Malik has outed his brother... REMEMBER THIS? Barack Obama's Brother EXPOSES The Michael/Michelle Rumors?! Ok folks, buckle up on this one! We have not made it a mainstay of this channel to focus on rumors like "Michelle Obama is a man" or "Michelle Obama is actually Michael Robinson"....although we have from time to time mentioned it in passing. We've also covered when other news-worthy celebrities have talked about the rumors. Like this one from Joan Rivers who came right out and said it just days before she died suddenly and unexpectedly: https://wltreport.com/2022/06/12/flashback-do-you-remember-what-joan-rivers-said-about-the-obamas-right-before-she-dropped-dead/ And even when I cover it in passing or cover Joan Rivers saying it, I take a lot of heat! I think 90% of people believe it's likely true, but the vocal 10% get very angry at me. Well? Today is vindication. Because today Barack Obama's own brother, Malik Obama, just Tweeted about the story and he appears to be giving the wink and the nod to it being TRUE! I'm not saying it is 100% true, but I am saying Barack Obama's own brother is tweeting about it with the eggplant emoji and he appears to be all but confirming it. So if you've got a beef, your beef is not with me -- it's with Malik. Don't send me your hate mail. We do our research and it's very newsworthy that Barack's own brother just Tweeted this: And NO! I cannot confirm or deny the legend of BIG MIKE AKA Michael Lavaughn Robinson. Folks please don't ask me that question again. — Malik Obama (@ObamaMalik) June 12, 2022 Yes, it's real you can go pull it up for yourself. And yes, that's his verified blue-checkmark profile. And here is a screenshot in case that gets taken down: Come to find out, it's actually not the first time Malik has tweeted about it. Here is from 2019: Malik points out one thing internet sleuths have been asking about for years... Why are there ZERO pictures of Michelle Obama pregnant? There are less pictures of her pregnant than their are of John Durham before the Sussman trial -- and she allegedly birthed two children? Google of course will not show you much, but a DuckDuckGo search reveals hundreds of thousands of photos and webpage results on the topic: Many claim that Michelle and Michael have similar arm scars, and this appears to be what they are talking about: While the 10% of people who hate this story are very vocal, the 90% appear to believe as Malik does: Definitely don't look into Michael's football career at Oregon State University BEAVERS. Definitely don't look for matching arm scars. Nothing to see here. — steven waters©® (@ima12voltwacko1) June 12, 2022 And: Thats confirmation — Raith8907 (@Raith8907) June 12, 2022 And: https://twitter.com/LennyBreault/status/1536048047863390209 And with a nod to Seinfeld, here is my favorite: No way was Mrs. Obama a dude!!! (Not that there's anything wrong with that) — El American (@elandrecito66) June 12, 2022 There's also an entire movie made on the topic that you can see here at IMDB: And then there is the infamous Ellen dancing event, which I'm not even going to go into here... Research that one yourself.

True or baseless?

As the nation anticipates Trump’s running mate decision, Kevin O’Leary of Shark Tank has just revealed his no. 1 choice. In an interview with Daily Mail, Mr. Wonderful said his pick would be North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum. O’Leary believes that Burgum would offer a nice, stabilizing balance to the ticket and appeal to independent voters. Burgum is also a former businessman, which O’Leary says gives him, “incredible executional skills.” Check it out: Shark Tank star KEVIN O’LEARY reveals his choice for Trump’s VP – and how their vice presidency would be different from every other in history https://t.co/clMa0k2ek6 pic.twitter.com/XyA3IO2Ajo — Daily Mail US (@DailyMail) June 14, 2024 Trump needs the independent vote –Shark Tank star KEVIN O’LEARY reveals his choice for Trump’s VP – Gov Doug Burgum –‘If you’re an independent & you’re thinking that Trump is too crazy, but then you’ve got Burgum in the package, then you’ve got some “Trump insurance”- pic.twitter.com/W8NfdpfpXC — Blanche Victoria (@tammytabby) June 14, 2024 More from O’Leary’s interview with Daily Mail: Shark Tank star Kevin O’Leary has revealed his pick for Donald Trump‘s vice president, as suspense builds over who will join him on the 2024 ticket. Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com, the investor hailed North Dakota governor and former businessman Doug Burgum as a potential buffer to the often unpredictable former president. ‘If you’re an independent and you’re thinking that Trump is too crazy, but then you’ve got Burgum in the package, then you’ve got some “Trump insurance”. That’s the way I think they’re going to sell it,’ he said. Burgum, 67, recently emerged as one of a handful of leading contenders for the role as the former president’s running mate in the election later this year. The pick will be announced at the Republican National Convention next month, Trump confirmed this week. Burgum had a career in technology and consulting before making his successful first bid for governor of his home state in 2016. In the 1980s he developed a small startup tech company called Great Plains Software, which he later sold to Microsoft in 2001 for over $1 billion. He has an estimated net worth of at least $100 million, according to Forbes, although he is a relatively unknown figure and largely untested on the national stage. He launched a presidential campaign in 2024 which received little attention. Burgum may be a ‘dark horse’ as a pick for Trump’s running mate, but he has ‘incredible executional skills because he came from business in the state of North Dakota,’ said O’Leary. What do you think? Do you agree with O’Leary? Would you support a Trump/Burgum ticket? Or would you like to see someone else chosen as VP? Whatever your thoughts are, we should get some closure soon! President Trump is expected to announce his running mate at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee next month. RELATED REPORT: Trump Adds Another High Profile Name To Potential VP List President Trump has just added another name to his possible Vice President list. So far, Dr. Ben Carson, Rep. Elise Stefanik, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance, and Rep. Byron Donalds have all received vetting documents from the Trump campaign as possible VP picks. On Wednesday, Trump added the Governor of Virginia, Glenn Youngkin, to the list. On Wednesday, Youngkin and Trump met at Trump National Golf Club in Loudon County, Virginia, to discuss how Trump will win Virginia. When asked if he was considering Youngkin as a potential VP pick, Trump shared that Youngkin was great and is considering him as a VP. Governor @GlennYoungkin is officially on the VP short list for President Trump. Youngkin’s selection would bring more voters from the suburbs into President Trump’s campaign and cause a fundraising explosion for the GOP.

The video player is currently playing an ad. The leaders specifically talked about strategy to win voters over including about honing in on the economy, inflation and the border crisis. Trump has teased that he will announce his VP pick at the upcoming Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He told Fox News’ Aishah Hasnie on Thursday that his running mate was ‘probably’ in the room where he held a meeting with Senate GOP lawmakers, but that he would wait until the convention to announce. Trump also called Youngkin ‘great’ and said he would consider him for VP.

Pentagon — About 600 U.S. military personnel remain in Niger, as American troops continue to withdraw from the country before a mid-September deadline, according to a senior U.S. defense official. "We are on track to be done before the 15th of September," the senior U.S. defense official told reporters Friday, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive security issues. However, the official cautioned that the rainy season could potentially slow withdrawal efforts. Last month, U.S. and Nigerien leaders agreed to a phased withdrawal of American forces from Niger after being in the country for more than a decade. At that time, there were about 900 U.S. military personnel in Niger, including active duty, civilians and contractors, according to two U.S. officials, who spoke to VOA on the condition of anonymity ahead of the withdrawal agreement. The withdrawal agreement between the U.S. and Niger confirmed protections and immunities for U.S. personnel and approved diplomatic clearances for withdrawal flights "to ensure smooth entries and exits." American forces were deployed in Niger to help local militaries combat Islamist terrorists in the Sahel. The United States has used two military bases in the country — Air Base 101 in Niamey and Air Base 201 in Agadez — to monitor various terror groups. Most U.S. forces in Niger are currently based in the latter, which cost the U.S. $110 million to build, and began drone operations in 2019. Niger's natural resources have increased its importance to global powers, and its location had provided the U.S. with the ability to conduct counterterror operations throughout much of West Africa. Countries in the region, including Niger, Mali, Nigeria and Burkina Faso, have seen an expansive rise in extremist movements. According to the Global Terrorism Index, an annual report covering terrorist incidents worldwide, more than half of the deaths caused by terrorism last year were in the Sahel. Niger's neighbor, Burkina Faso, suffered the most, with 1,907 fatalities from terrorism in 2023. Unless the U.S. can find another base to use in West Africa, counterterror drones will likely have to spend most of their fuel supply flying thousands of kilometers from U.S. bases in Italy or Djibouti, severely limiting their time over the targets and their ability to gather intelligence. "That's a significant policy matter that the U.S. is grappling with right now," the senior U.S. defense official told reporters Friday. Coup forced withdrawal  Tensions between the U.S. and Niger began in 2023 when Niger's military junta removed the democratically elected president from power. After months of delay, the Biden administration formally declared in October 2023 that the military takeover in Niger was a coup, a determination that prevented Niger from receiving a significant amount of U.S. military and foreign assistance. In March, after tense meetings between U.S. representatives and Niger's governing military council, the junta called the U.S. military presence illegal and announced it was ending an agreement that allowed American forces to be based in the country. During that meeting, the U.S. and Niger fundamentally disagreed about Niger's desire to supply Iran with uranium and work more closely with Russian military forces.
