This Day in History: , Donna Summer, Queen of Disco, Dies.

May 17, 2012.

The 63-year-old singer and songwriter died in Naples, FL, from non-smoking related lung cancer.

The disco diva rose to fame in the 1970s, with hits like "Hot Stuff" and "Last Dance.".

As disco's popularity waned, Summer wrote songs for several different genres.

Her song, "Starting Over Again," for Dolly Parton was a number-one country single in 1980.

Her 1983 hit, "She Works Hard for the Money," became a pop-rock feminist anthem.

Summer was a five-time Grammy winner, who's been sampled by artists from Beyonce to the Pet Shop Boys.

The mother of three was buried in Nashville, her home since the 1990s

‘Disheartening
.’ Kash Patel’s Girlfriend Alexis Wilkins Drops BOMBSHELL On ‘Mossad Agent’ Claims

Country singer Alexis Wilkins has broken her silence after becoming the center of an online firestorm accusing her of being a Mossad agent "honeypotting" FBI director Kash Patel. Speaking on the Megyn Kelly Show, the 26-year-old strongly denied the bizarre conspiracy theory, calling it “incredibly disheartening.” The rumors intensified after a Justice Department memo on Jeffrey Epstein debunked claims of a hidden client list. Conspiracy theorists shifted their focus to Wilkins, citing her ties to conservative nonprofit PragerU, whose CEO once served in the Israeli army. However, Wilkins, who is Armenian and Christian, rejected the narrative, saying critics are tying “pieces of evidence” together “in all the wrong ways.” She emphasized her genuine relationship with Patel, whom she met in Nashville in 2022. “He’s honest, patriotic, and has incredible integrity,” she said. Despite their 19-year age gap, Wilkins insists the connection is real—and not a covert operation. #AlexisWilkins #KashPatel #MossadAgentClaim #SpyRumors #FBIChief #PatelWilkins #MegynKellyShow #WilkinsDenial #PoliticalConspiracies #MossadAccusation #CountrySinger #OnlineTrolls #EpsteinMemo #JusticeDepartment #PragerU #Disinformation #FBIAllegations #Patriotism #SpyTheories #ArmenianChristian ~GR.125~HT.408~

‘Kamala Should Be Jailed!’ Trump ACCUSES Democrats Of Illegal Celebrity Payments | 2024 Elections

U.S. President Donald Trump has ignited a political firestorm by accusing the Democratic Party of committing “fraud” during the 2024 election campaign. In a Truth Social post, Trump claimed that Democrats paid millions to celebrities for endorsements—an act he called “totally illegal.” He alleged $11 million was funneled to BeyoncĂ©, $3 million to Oprah Winfrey, and $600,000 to Reverend Al Sharpton. Trump emphasized that none of the celebrities performed or contributed meaningfully, calling it a misuse of campaign funds and accusing them of falsifying financial records. He concluded with a demand for the prosecution of Vice President Kamala Harris and others “who broke the law.” Trump's latest explosive allegations have reignited debates on the legality of political endorsements, celebrity influence in elections, and campaign financing ethics. His claims, if proven, could carry legal and electoral consequences. The White House and Democratic Party are yet to respond. #TrumpVsKamala #EndorsementScandal #CelebrityFraud #BeyoncePolitics #TrumpTruthSocial #KamalaHarris #ElectionFraudClaims #CampaignCorruption #PoliticalEndorsement #OprahWinfrey #DonaldTrumpNews #Sharpton #DemocratsScandal #IllegalPayments #BreakingPolitics #TrumpAllegesFraud #2024ElectionControversy #TruthSocialPost #TrumpDemandsProsecution ~ED.346~HT.408~GR.125~
