Shania Twain’s Tour Bus Involved In Massive Accident, Crew Members Hospitalized

 

Singer Shania Twain's tour bus was involved in a ghastly highway accident, and several of her crew members have reportedly been hospitalized.

 

The incident occurred on Wednesday, November 8, 2023, following a traffic accident in Canada between dates for her current tour, the "Queen of Me Tour."

 

According to several reports, Twain's tour bus was involved in a traffic accident that left multiple members of her crew hospitalized.

 

"One crew bus and one truck from the Shania Twain - Queen Of Me tour were involved in a highway accident driving between Winnipeg and Saskatoon," Twain's management revealed in a statement.

 

They added, "Multiple vehicles encountered dangerous driving conditions due to inclement weather. Members of the production crew who require medical attention have been taken to nearby hospitals."

 

Notably, the Grammy award-winning singer was not on the bus when the crash happened and is reportedly safe.

 

Her management also noted their gratitude for the emergency service teams who responded swiftly and helped get urgent care for those involved in the crash.

 

Their statement continued, "We are incredibly thankful to the emergency services teams for their quick response and ongoing support. We ask for patience as we look after our touring family."

 

Shania Twain's 'Queen Of Me Tour'

 

The famous singer has been on her world tour, which began in Spokane, Washington, in April 2023. Since then, Twain has been on the road across Europe, Canada, and the U.S.

 

At one of her concerts held in Michigan in July, Twain delivered a captivating performance that seamlessly blended her chart-topping hits with vibrant choreography, leaving the crowd on their feet all through the night.

 

However, it wasn’t just her stage presence and impressive vocals that stole the show. The iconic singer made a grand entrance, donning an outfit that accentuated her figure.

 

Completing her bold look, the Queen of Country pop had on a pair of diamante-studded cowboy boots that elevated her performance attire in style and confidence. She also wore a multi-colored cape and accessorized herself with a huge piece of jewelry and a massive crystal ring.

 

Twain made a grand return to the music scene with her latest album, "Queen of Me." During a chat on the "All Things Considered" podcast, she talked about how the pandemic influenced her new music.

 

Twain said of her experience working on the music project, "Because this album was written during COVID – as I always do, I [used] songwriting as my therapy. But with the forced isolation and everything, I just needed to pick myself up, cheer myself up. [I] started writing songs that made me feel like dancing and put me in a good mood."

 

She revealed that her Covid experience wasn't a great one and that she "got the COVID pneumonia… so I ended up being [air evacuated] to an available bed and hospitalized there."

 

Twain added, per NPR, "When I got out of that hospital, the timing was amazing – I saw someone talking about air, the blessing of air … and I just started writing this song about all the things we can do with air, other than the obvious."

 

In July, Twain showcased her resilience during a show in Chicago when she tripped and fell on stage while singing her hit song, “Don’t Be Stupid."

 

The incident left fans in awe of Twain’s ability to bounce back as the singer quickly got up to perform like a pro.

 

The concert, held at Credit Union 1 Amphitheater in the Tinley Park neighborhood, was a night of electrifying energy and enthralling performances as Twain sang and danced the night away with her devoted fans.

 

Per TMZ, an eyewitness revealed that she “did not look injured at all” and that the crowd “didn’t even react” when she took a tumble because she “seemed totally fine."

Steve Bannon’s bid to avoid prison heads to appeals court

 

Steve Bannon’s bid to avoid prison heads to a federal appeals court Thursday as the onetime Trump White House strategist attempts to overturn his conviction.

 

A jury last year found Bannon guilty of two counts of contempt of Congress after he defied a subpoena from the Jan. 6 House select committee.

 

With his four-month prison sentence on hold, Bannon’s attorney will go before a three-judge panel on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday to argue his client’s constitutional rights were violated.

 

The onetime former President Trump aide and “Bannon’s War Room” podcast host is advancing several arguments rejected by a lower court, including that the Jan. 6 committee’s subpoena wasn’t valid in the first place.

 

Even if it was, Bannon contends he was entitled to present various defenses to the jury to explain his defiance. Bannon insists he is innocent because he relied on his attorney’s advice and legal opinions from within the Department of Justice.

 

“Bannon was barred from putting on any evidence or argument that he believed he responded to the subpoena in the only way the law permitted, once executive privilege was invoked and that he acted in the manner his experienced lawyer directed him that he had to act as a matter of law,” Bannon’s attorney wrote in court filings.

 

Weeks after the House voted largely along partisan lines to hold Bannon in contempt of Congress, federal prosecutors indicted him in November 2021.

 

The House voted to hold four people in contempt in connection with the Jan. 6 committee’s investigation. The list comprised Bannon, former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, former White House deputy chief of staff for communications Dan Scavino, and Peter Navarro, who served as a trade adviser to Trump.

 

The Justice Department ultimately declined to charge Meadows and Scavino but did bring charges against both Bannon and Navarro. Navarro was found guilty in September, and he has requested a new trial.

 

Like Navarro, Bannon’s indictment contained two contempt charges: one for refusing to appear for a deposition and the second for refusing to produce documents.

 

After Bannon was convicted and sentenced, his trial judge delayed the sentence so Bannon could first appeal.

 

If unsuccessful, Bannon faces four months in prison and a fine of $6,500, though the losing side could still try to bring the case to the full appeals court or the Supreme Court.

 

For now, Bannon heads to a three-judge panel on the D.C. Circuit, comprising one appointee from each of the three most recent presidents: Biden, Trump and Obama. Oral argument is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m., with 10 minutes each allotted for Bannon and prosecutors.

 

David Schoen, who represented Trump in his second impeachment trial, will represent Bannon, court filings show.

 

Bannon first disputes the lower court’s interpretation of the word “willfully” in the contempt charge, an interpretation that did not require the government to show to the jury that Bannon believed his subpoena defiance was unlawful.

 

It was based on a D.C. Circuit precedent, but Bannon says the precedent can’t be reconciled with a subsequent line of cases. If the interpretation was indeed correct, Bannon contends it would make the statute unconstitutionally overbroad and violate separation of powers principles.

 

“Recent decisions from the United States Supreme Court emphatically demonstrate the error and the legally unsupportable idea that ‘willfully’ in the context of any criminal statute, let alone one purporting to have a mandatory minimum incarceration element, can dispense with the fundamental requirement that there be some evidence of a wrongful or criminal purpose,” Schoen wrote in court filings.

 

Bannon has argued he didn’t comply with the Jan. 6 committee subpoena because another one of his attorneys advised him to not do so. He is citing Justice Department Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) opinions related to executive privilege the attorney believed would preclude Bannon’s prosecution. Bannon argues he should’ve been able to bring up those defenses to the jury.

 

Prosecutors have long pushed back on that thinking, arguing Bannon was, at minimum, still required to appear before the committee, even if executive privilege did apply to some of the relevant topics.

 

“The subpoena focused on Bannon’s activities as a private citizen and addressed many topics for which executive privilege could not possibly apply,” prosecutors wrote in court filings.

Fans Voice Concern for Wynonna Judd After 'Bizarre' CMA Awards Performance

 

The country music star was brought on stage to sing with Jelly Roll during the 57th Annual CMA Awards on Wednesday, Nov. 8, and even though her vocals were just as stellar as always, fans couldn't help but notice something was off.

 

The 59-year-old appeared to be unstable as she walked the stage, eventually making her way over to Jellyroll, 38, and tightly gripping onto his shoulder as if she needed assistance to keep her balance.

 

Almost immediately after their duet on Jelly Roll's "Need a Favor," viewers flocked to X (formerly Twitter) to voice their concern for Judd, who some users noticed was struggling to stand during the performance.

 

"She could barely walk. She took baby steps," one person pointed out, while another user wrote, "Something is wrong with her. Hope she is ok!!"

 

"Something just wasn't right! I am very concerned," someone else added.

 

Another person called the performance "seriously bizarre," noting that Judd "barely moved once she got a death grip on [Jelly Roll]."

 

Other fans considered that Judd's shakiness on stage could have been a result of her battle with vertigo, which the Grammy-winner has been vocal about in the past.

 

"I think she is still struggling with vertigo. But not sure. Hope she is ok," one user wrote online after Wednesday night's performance.

 

"She suffers from vertigo that’s probably what it was she wouldn’t move her head or eyes. if you can imagine being on a spinning tcup ride non stop it makes sense," another user theorized.

 

Fans have yet to get any confirmation over what exactly was going on with Judd while she was on stage, but luckily, she was still able to get through the entire performance without even missing a beat!

The secret to Trump's revenge plot: He's making his plans for vengeance public

 

If he wins the 2024 election, Donald Trump will be America’s first dictator. This plan of retribution is advancing rapidly in preparation for Trump’s return to the White House – an outcome that seems increasingly likely given early polls which show him leading President Biden in key swing states. Trump’s MAGA supporters and tens of millions of other Republican voters support the traitor ex-president and his attempt to end multiracial democracy and to replace it with a new form of American apartheid. The Republican Party is in Trump’s thrall.

 

As an institution, the mainstream American news media is not built for this moment. They have had more than seven years to adapt. They have mostly chosen not to. In that way, the American news media in the Age of Trump is like a sports team that is continuing to run the same plays even though the game has radically changed and, in many ways, has passed them by. As a result, they (and the American people) keep losing.

 

From the bothsidesism to access journalism to confusing neutrality with objectivity and an emphasis on the horserace instead of the consequences, the media's obsession with gossip and personalities has provided an undue platform for Trump and other malign right-wing actors to rehabilitate their reputations and circulate their propaganda and lies. Careerism, a lack of intellectual curiosity, and emphasizing profits over bold truth-telling allow the cycle to continue as our democracy languishes.

 

For the news media to effectively counter Trumpism, there must be changes to its institutional culture that allow for substantive and sustained pro-democracy journalism. Because, in more than seven years, the American news media has not yet made these institutional changes, even when there are attempts to strongly confront Trumpism and the other illiberal forces that are threatening the nation, such moments are fleeting. The most recent example is the much-discussed reporting by The Washington Post and the New York Times on Trump and the American neofascists’ plans to end American democracy by invoking the Insurrection Act (meaning martial law), criminalizing dissent, nullifying the First Amendment, deporting “criminals” and other “enemies of the state” under the Alien Enemies Act, using the military to occupy Democratic-led cities, freeing the Jan. 6 MAGA terrorists who will then become Trump’s personal enforcers, and replacing career government professionals who follow the Constitution and rule of law with Trump regime loyalists.

 

It is critically important in terms of national agenda setting that The Washington Post and New York Times, as two of the country’s leading news publications, are sounding the alarm loudly about Dictator Trump and his cabal’s plans to end American democracy.
