You’ve probably experienced moments where a last-minute change in your routine leads to unexpected outcomes. Perhaps you altered your coffee order or left the office early, only to cross paths with an old friend or uncover an unpleasant surprise at home. These small decisions can lead to significant consequences, some good and some alarming.
Malissa Sergent Lewis had one such moment during the summer of 2016 when she decided to take a different route to work at her elementary school in Kentucky. Running late, she opted for a back road instead of the usual highway, a choice that she would come to appreciate greatly.
As she drove along that quieter road, she noticed something odd: a trash bag seemingly moving in the middle of the lane. “I thought I saw it twitch”, Malissa recalled. Intrigued and concerned, she felt compelled to investigate further.
Cautiously, she approached the bag, realizing it was tightly tied and that whatever was inside couldn’t have gotten there by itself. With a mix of apprehension and determination, she tore open a corner of the bag, revealing a heartwarming surprise.
Inside was a small puppy, wagging his tail with joy as soon as he was exposed to the light. “I couldn’t believe it”, Malissa said. The little dog, though shaken, was eager for companionship.
He was found with a collar but without any identification tags, raising questions about how he ended up abandoned in the first place. Unable to leave him behind, Malissa brought the puppy along to school. Later, her son took the puppy home, and they arranged for a vet visit to ensure he was healthy and vaccinated.
Concerned for the puppy’s safety, Malissa contacted animal control, but the dog had not been reported missing, and no one came forward to claim him.
In a fortunate turn of events, Malissa and her family decided to adopt the puppy, providing him with the love and care he deserves. Yet, she struggles to comprehend the cruelty that led to his abandonment. “Who could do something so heartless?” she wondered. “Everyone loves puppies; it takes a cold-hearted person to put any animal in a trash bag and discard it like that.”
Tom Hanks Shocks Fans with Polarizing SNL Cameo
Tom Hanks has ignited backlash from Donald Trump supporters following his appearance in a politically charged sketch on Saturday Night Live’s 50th-anniversary special.
On February 16, a star-studded lineup, including Meryl Streep, Martin Short, Jack Nicholson, and Aubrey Plaza, gathered in New York to celebrate five decades of the iconic sketch comedy show.
Hanks, known for his legendary Hollywood career, participated in a skit that didn’t sit well with some Trump supporters. During a parody game show segment, Black Jeopardy, the Forrest Gump star played a character named Doug—sporting a red “Make America Great Again” hat.
At one point in the sketch, host Kenan Thompson extended a handshake to Doug, who hesitated before finally shaking hands, saying, “Not a fan of that, whoa, whoa, whoa. Maybe I should make a show for you and call it White Jeopardy.”
The moment quickly drew criticism online, with some viewers accusing SNL of mocking Trump voters. One social media user wrote, “Tom Hanks went on SNL looking rough, making fun of millions of Trump supporters—portraying them as ignorant, racist country bumpkins. Keep it up, leftists. You’ll never win another election.”
Link Lauren, a former adviser to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., also weighed in, tweeting: “Tom Hanks just played a MAGA supporter hesitant to shake a Black man’s hand on SNL. And they wonder why their ratings keep tanking. Trump won the majority vote. This outdated narrative that MAGA is racist is ridiculous. SNL is an unfunny show for elitist liberals.”
Other Trump supporters echoed similar frustrations, with one saying, “Nobody in the audience even laughed,” while another added, “This makes me so mad. SNL just painted all MAGA supporters as racists.”
