Curtis 50 Cent Jackson inadvertently displayed his strength while shooting the latest Expendables film.

According to Expendables 4 stunt coordinator Alan Ng, there was a collision between Jackson, 48, and a stunt performer during the filming of the new action sequel, resulting in one stunt performer dislocating a finger.

Easy to work with

According to Ng, 50 Cent is easy to work with because he is powerful and strong. He went on to describe how they utilized the strengths of both Jackson and Megan Fox, who joined Sylvester Stallone, Dolph Lundgren, and Jason Statham for the fourth installment of the series.

Ng added that Fox has a strong dance background and her style is agile, flexible and fast. Jackson is like a tank as he is very powerful and strong. His strength caused a guy to go flying and dislocating his finger. However, Ng reassured that the injured stunt performer and his finger are now okay.

Jackson lost some weight

Representatives for Jackson have not yet responded to requests for comment. Jackson himself acknowledged the incident in an Instagram post, mentioning that he has lost some weight since filming Expendables 4.

The fourth installment of the Expendables franchise began showing in theaters, making over $8 million at the domestic box office in its opening weekend. The movie’s plot revolves around Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone) recruiting Lee Christmas (Jason Statham) for another mission to save the world.

All-star cast

Newcomers Megan Fox and Jackson join series regulars Dolph Lundgren and Randy Couture in this installment. The movie also features Tony Jaa, Iko Uwais, Jacob Scipio, Levy Tran, and Andy Garcia. It marks Sylvester Stallone’s final appearance in the action franchise.

Many people believe that achieving financial stability is solely dependent on how much they earn. While income is undoubtedly a crucial factor, it’s far from the only one. Surprisingly, even with a reasonable income, some individuals with bad money habits find themselves struggling to make ends meet.

Poor money habits can hinder financial growth and keep you trapped in a cycle of financial instability.

What are these habits:

Living Beyond Your Means

Bad money habits mean spending more money than you earn, often relying on credit cards or loans to maintain a lifestyle that is unsustainable in the long run.

Neglecting Emergency Funds

Without a financial safety net, unexpected expenses like medical bills or car repairs can send your finances into a tailspin, forcing you to rely on high-interest loans or credit cards.

Impulse Spending

Frequent trips to the mall or online shopping sprees can lead to substantial amounts of money being frittered away on items you don’t truly need.

Failing to Invest

Simply saving money in a regular bank account won’t help your wealth grow over time. Failing to invest can be a significant factor in keeping you poor, as your money doesn’t have the opportunity to grow and compound.

Ignoring Debt

Allowing debt to accumulate and linger can be detrimental to your financial health. High-interest debt, such as credit card balances, can eat up a substantial portion of your income in interest payments alone.

Power of Financial Education

Many people continue to struggle with their finances because they lack the necessary financial education. Without a solid understanding of money management, investments, and budgeting, it’s easy to make costly mistakes.

Eliminate Bad Money Habits

Breaking free from poor money habits is important. By addressing issues like living beyond your means, neglecting emergency funds, impulse spending, failing to invest, ignoring debt, and underestimating financial education, you can pave the way toward a more secure financial future. Remember, it’s never too late to change your financial habits and take control of your financial destiny.

In a riveting and emotionally charged address at Arizona State University, President Joe Biden delivered a stark warning about the state of America’s democracy. He directly named former President Donald Trump as the driving force behind the “MAGA extremists” that he believes pose the greatest threat to the nation’s core principles.

“There is no question that today’s Republican Party is driven and intimidated by MAGA extremists. Their extreme agenda, if carried out, would fundamentally alter the institutions of American democracy as we know it,” President Biden declared.

Trump: Greatest threat to democracy

The President went on to make the speech deeply personal, taking aim at Donald Trump’s belief that the presidency grants unlimited power.

“Trump says the Constitution gave him ‘the right to do whatever he wants as president.’ I’ve never even heard a president say that in jest – not guided by the Constitution or by common service and decency towards our fellow Americans but by vengeance and vindictiveness,” stated Biden.

Biden also expressed anger over Trump’s derogatory comments about those who serve their country, referencing Trump’s characterization of service members as ‘suckers’ and ‘losers.’ Hence, for Biden, Trump is the greatest threat to American democracy.

The President addressed Trump’s attempts to reshape the civil service system with the creation of a “Schedule F” class of federal workers who, in Biden’s words, “had to declare loyalty not to the U.S. government but to Trump.” He emphasized that he had dismantled this system upon taking office.

A rematch?

The speech, billed as the President’s fourth major address on the state of American democracy, focused on the core institutions that underpin democracy, including the military, the civil service, the separation of powers, free and open elections, and a judiciary that holds all citizens accountable.

Beyond this, the address sent a clear signal that the 2024 general election is shaping up as a rematch between President Biden and former President Donald Trump.

The tension and stakes in American politics appear to be as high as ever as the nation grapples with its democratic future.
