Jana Duggar: Wrapped Up In ANOTHER Duggar Sex Scandal?! [Exclusive]

It looks like the Duggar family is embroiled in yet another major scandal. And this one involves the family’s most mild-mannered member, fan favorite Jana Duggar. More accurately it involves Jana’s “friend” and rumored romantic partner Caleb Williams. An anonymous source informs The Hollywood Gossip exclusively that Caleb has been arrested for having sex with a minor. Caleb and Jana reportedly dated last year , but neither party ever publicly confirmed the relationship. “Caleb has been arrested for Criminal Sex with a minor [in] Logan County illinois,” the insider writes in an email to THG. “Duggar family better check their little ones! This is a dangerous fella. Williams are trying their best to cover it up.” The source goes on to explain that Caleb’s brother, Joshua Williams, also has a criminal past: “This one too Caleb’s brother Joshua M. Williams arrested for child abuse [in] Washington County, Arkansas,” the tipster writes. “Both boys were avoiding arrest warrants by changing address and hiding in their homes when paper were trying to be served.” Perhaps not surprisingly, both men have ties to Josh Duggar, who was exposed in 2015 as having molested five young girls , four of whom were his sisters. “Both worked with Josh Duggar selling used cars ‘junkers,'” the source writes, adding: “Birds of a feather flock together?!” The insider goes on to maintain that Josh is still doing business with family members who claimed to have cut ties with him, writing: “Jim Bob Duggar should be careful who he lets his family associate with. Josh now rents the Duggars’ building near their home as a Tree Service.  “I wish to remain anonymous because of my involvement,” the insider continues. “If they all were not deceiving others and shifting blame to innocent people I wouldn’t be so inclined to share.” Shedding light on why crimes by the rich and powerful so often go unreported, the insider adds: “They have money to hire expensive layers, those they hurt do not.” The anonymous email concludes: “I thought this stuff only happened in movies. “These are dangerous people innocent children are in harm’s way. “May you do you best to separate the evil from the good.” We’ll have further updates on this developing story as more information becomes available.

FBI Confirms Gillum Is Not Corrupt And That DeSantis Lied

View original post here:

T he cloud of corruption finally lifted from Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum with the release on Wednesday of an FBI report on its probe of city officials. It confirmed Gillum’s denial of wrongdoing and showed that his Republican rival for Florida governor Ron DeSantis exploited the investigation to win the election. See Also: Andrew Gillum Lost Florida Election Because Of Racism, Democrats Say Gillum’s name was not listed among those indicted by federal authorities in an investigation into whether businessmen were able to influence Tallahassee development projects, Politico reported. DeSantis led a racist campaign that poured millions of dollars into painting Gillum, who was running to become the state’s first African-American governor, as corrupt—even though Gillum had always said he was not a target of the probe. Republicans spent at least $7 million on TV ads to connect Gillum to the investigation. It paid off, with DeSantis winning a narrow victory. “If the FBI had something on Gillum, they would have brought it by now or it would be in this indictment. They got nothing on Gillum. He got screwed,” said Steven R. Andrews , a Republican strategist who is also a criminal defense attorney representing one of the defendants in the case. NewsOne talked with @AndrewGillum about his campaign, as he races toward the finish line in the #FloridaPrimary for governor…. https://t.co/e2D9Xg3KE8 @peoplefor pic.twitter.com/aKGq5PwpWf — NewsOne (@newsone) August 28, 2018 Gillum’s connection to the investigation was reportedly centered on his relationship with local businessman and lobbyist Adam Corey , a college friend who was previously Gillum’s campaign treasurer. Corey had reportedly set up meetings between undercover FBI agents, posing as land developers, and Tallahassee officials—including Gillum. The FBI investigation was just one of the tools in DeSantis’ arsenal that included racist attacks. DeSantis has a long history of associating with white nationalists. Less than 24 hours after winning the GOP nomination in August, DeSantis blew a racist dog whistle when he warned Florida voters not to “monkey this up” by voting for Gillum. Soon after, white supremacists answered the whistle by sending out racist robocalls. Another series of robocalls attacking Gillum went out during their first debate. Gillum decidedly out-dueled DeSantis in the first debate through his mastery of the issues. But the Trump-backed candidate often used allegations of corruption to score points against Gillum. Now that the FBI investigation is in the rearview mirror, Gillum can focus on his political future. There were reports that he met recently with former President Barack Obama .

Mia Love Pleads With GOP To Connect With African Americans After Getting Dragged By Trump

Read the original:

B lack Republican Rep. Mia Love of Utah, still licking her wounds after losing a re-election bid to Congress, urged her party to improve its relationship with African Americans after President Trump showed his contempt for her and the Black community through his policies. See Also: Mia Love Whines People Don’t Like Her Because She’s Black, Not Because She Supported A Racist “We have especially failed to bring our message to, and connect with, women and racial minorities. And we have effectively written off cities as Democratic strongholds. Our nation is poorer for it,” she penned in an open letter published in the Washington Post on Wednesday. Black Republican Mia Love Suddenly Realizes Trump Is Trash After Losing Re-Election https://t.co/N3ZHLSBjK1 via @newsone — brandonallison (@brandonkallison) November 26, 2018 Love has been seemingly everywhere recently, on somewhat of an unofficial national tour , talking about how she was mistreated by Trump and Democrats because of her race. She lost her election in a close race for a third term in Congress. It’s unclear what the political future holds for Love, who made history as the first and only Black Republican woman in Congress. Many in the GOP hoped that her early political success would help to bring racial diversity to the party. But the Trump-dominated GOP is an inhospitable place to most African Americans. Trump publicly showed his contempt for Love  the day after the midterms . “Mia Love gave me no love and she lost,” Trump said mocking the congresswoman, naming her among incumbent House members who didn’t shower him with praise and were defeated. “Too bad. Sorry about that, Mia.” Republicans remained silent while Trump defended white supremacist violence in Charlottesville and labeled Haiti and nations in Africa “ shithole countries. ” The GOP also stood by while their leader claimed falsely that his policies improved the lives of Black people. The president’s policies have in fact been detrimental to the Black community. In education, for example, the president has looked for ways to cut funding to public schools. This comes as many Black children attend schools in buildings that should be condemned, like many found in Detroit , and schools that lack the resources that wealthy school districts offer their students. Moreover, rather than reducing bias in schools, Education Secretary  Betsy DeVos  approved new guidance, which took effect in March, that permits investigators in her department to disregard civil rights cases . Love urged the party to change course. “We must listen to their experiences, visit them in their comfort zones and take their priorities to heart. Our policy implementations must be personal — not transactional,” she wrote. But it’s unlikely that Republican leaders are paying attention to her.

Josh Duggar LOSES Lawsuit Against Cops Who Leaked His Files

When the world first learned that Josh Duggar molested five young girls and his parents helped him to cover up his crimes, it was widely assumed that everyone involved would fade into obscurity, never to be seen again. Instead, Jim Bob and Michelle quickly rebuilt their media empire, while Josh started filing lawsuits. Josh lashed out in many different directions after being exposed as a dangerous pervert, but he was particularly angry at the police department of Springdale, Arkansas. Josh felt the cops had violated his rights by releasing info involving his criminal record to reporters from Life & Style . The judge in his civil trial disagreed in hilarious fashion. The thing is, Josh’s lawsuit didn’t make any sense, and judges are usually pretty quick to pick up on that sort of thing. Josh claimed that the police broke the law by releasing the records of a minor, even though he was 27 at the time. He argued that he has the right to expect privacy — and later in the very same lawsuit, he claimed that the release of his records had damaged his ability to make money as a celebrity. Like we said, the judge wasn’t crazy about Josh’s interpretation of the law or, ya know, the fundamental laws of logic. “Josh Duggar notes that he has a ‘certain level of celebrity’ and that he engaged in public life,” the judge wrote in his ruling. “Yet he claims that by appearing in a popular reality television series, being a leader in national, political, and civic organizations, and engaging in public speaking, he somehow was conducting himself in a manner consistent with an expectation of privacy.” Today, the same judge laid another smackdown, and issued a public ruling declaring that the period of time in which Josh could have appealed the initial ruling has passed: “The time afforded by the Arkansas Rules of Civil Procedure for the Plaintiff to respond has passed and Plaintiff has made no responsive filing,” the dismissal documents read. “It is therefore, considered, ordered and adjudged, that this matter shall be dismissed with prejudice as to the re-filing of any claim, counterclaim, or filed herein.” So that’s it. Some hero cops exposed Josh Duggar for the child molester that he is, and they will not be punished for it. Looks like there’s occasionally some justice in this world, after all.

U tah’s Republican Rep. Mia Love , who’s Black, tried everything—including playing the race card against Democrats—to retain her congressional seat. But she still came up short. See Also: Mo’ Money? GOP’s Mia Love Reportedly Wants To Keep More Campaign Dollars Despite Breaking Law Love was defeated in her bid for a third term in Congress by Democrat Ben McAdams who held a lead of about 700 votes two weeks after Election Day, the Associated Press reported on Tuesday. It’s unclear what the political future holds for Love, who made history as the first and only Black Republican woman in Congress.

Mia Love loses to Democrat in Utah | Via Politico https://t.co/BvN8MISoeu — SafetyPin-Daily (@SafetyPinDaily) November 21, 2018 Utah is one of the reddest states in the nation, yet Love found herself in a tight race against McAdams. In September, she went on Fox News radio and accused the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and the Democratic National Committee of targeting her seat because she’s Black. “They do not like the fact that I am a Black female Republican doing everything I possibly can to talk about the issues that help people go from the lowest common denominator up,” Love said in the interview. Her re-election bid was also derailed by a campaign finance scandal . Love was in hot water with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) over her team improperly raising more than a million dollars for a primary election that was never expected to happen–a violation of campaign rules. Adding salt to her wounds, President Donald Trump mocked Love’s expected campaign loss the day after the midterms . “Mia Love gave me no love and she lost,” Trump said, naming Love among incumbent House members who didn’t shower him with praise and were defeated. “Too bad.

Roberson was reportedly working security at Manny’s Blue Room Bar Sunday around 4:00 AM when several drunk customers were ordered out. One of the customers returned to the bar with a gun and opened fire. Roberson allegedly returned fire, then detained the gunman and held him at gunpoint until police arrived. When the police officer got to the scene, he then shot Roberson and killed him. Roberson was reportedly working extra shifts to save up a little extra money to spend on his young son for the holidays.

Busted! Police Give White Women A Free Pass On Wearing Hoodies But Kicked Out Black Men

T he police always deny that they have a racial double standard, but an experiment at a Tennessee mall tells a different story. See Also: Cops Defend Unconstitutional Stop And Frisk Tactics As HBCU President Says He Was Racially Profiled A social media post from four white women on Saturday exposed the Memphis Police and the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office for racially profiling a group of African-American men, CBS News reported. This all stems from a video recorded by a former journalist that showed mall security and law enforcement officials stopping four young Black men for wearing hoodies at Wolfchase Galleria in Cordova on Nov. 3. They were escorted out of the mall with at least one of them in handcuffs. The women said they wore hoodies in the same mall without any incident. Racial profiling is a problem nationwide for Black people, but seldom is there any justice for violations. Recourse options are often limited, even when evidence suggests that discrimination occurred. Memphis residents unfortunately lack a functioning police oversight board to address their grievances in this case, Nashville activist Theeda Murphy told NewsOne. “There’s no way to do an independent investigation. In the aftermath of the mall incident, Memphis’ Black community is pushing to have the oversight board fully functioning,” said Murphy, who was involved in the successful effort on Election Day to pass an amendment to create a Community Oversight Board in Nashville that oversees the police. “If a security guard spotted us with our hoods up, they very politely asked us to take them down. One guard said it was because they need to be able to identify everybody’s faces. So we said, ‘Sure,’ took them down, walked on, and put the hoods back up a bit later. Repeat. No threats. Point made,” the Facebook post said. Here’s what happened to the Black men: Kevin McKenzie was inside the Wolfchase Galleria Mall in Memphis when he filmed a security guard at the mall detain a black teen for violating the mall’s dress code policy because he wore a hoodie. When McKenzie inquired further he too was detained. This is outrageous. pic.twitter.com/w0voiu8bth — Simar (@sahluwal) November 14, 2018 “At least a couple of those officers were Black, which shows you that it’s not a Black and white thing but a systemic thing,” Murphy said. “There’s an issue with policing and how officers are trained, how officers see who is a threat and who isn’t. It doesn’t matter if the officers are Black or white because they all get the same training.” SEE ALSO: Andrew Gillum Fires Back At Wannabe Dictator Donald Trump Stacey Abrams Campaign Files Federal Lawsuit For Every Vote To Be Counted [ione_media_gallery src=”https://newsone.com” id=”3836445″ overlay=”true”]
