Donald Trump hopped deep into his emotions while dealing with a CNN reporter during Wednesday’s White House press conference. While the President was attempting to dismiss reporter Jim Acosta, the guy refused to sit down and hush up, held on to the mic when an intern attempted to snatch it, and got that last question off. Needless to say, Trump wasn’t feeling it. He went in on Acosta, accusing him of being a terrible person and treating people horribly. Next thing you know, Jim Acosta gets his White House credentials pulled. While according to TMZ , CNN believes it’s due to Trump having to face tough questions he wasn’t in the mood for, Sarah Huckabee Sanders swears it’s because Acosta “put his hands” on a female White House staffer (the microphone girl) in an aggressive manner: https://twitter.com/PressSec/status/1060333176252448768 https://twitter.com/PressSec/status/1060333619728801792 https://twitter.com/PressSec/status/1060374680991883265 Acosta definitely pushed her arm away, but…it seems the White House is dragging this, a bit.

P ostal worker, Kierra Coles , 26, has been missing since October 2. She mysteriously disappeared near her South Side Chicago neighborhood. A neighbor’s surveillance video showed Coles in her U.S. Postal Service uniform, heading to work on Oct. 2, WGN-TV reported. She passed her car, went across the street and disappeared out of the frame. Coles was also three months pregnant. Her mother, Karen Phillips, recently sat down for an interview WGCI 107.5 Radio. SEE ALSO: Black Mother Speaks Out: Girls And Women Are Turning Up Missing In Chicago Phillips said, “I felt something was wrong. I had been calling her all that day on Wednesday (Oct. 3). I said maybe she had forgot her charger and her phone is dead. So when I started calling her on Thursday it was going to voicemail. I just didn’t feel right. I went over to her house to call the police for them to do a well-being check because I had seen her car. So I said, okay she’s probably just in there, maybe she’s asleep or – I don’t know, I just didn’t feel right.” Phillips did say the Chicago police department has been conducting an investigation, along with the postal inspector, she explained, “The postal inspector, he has been calling and checking in saying, ‘We are doing all we can. There’s things that we can’t tell you right now, but we’re doing all we can.’ I’m just guessing they just want to have facts together, they don’t want to give me bits and pieces.” Karen also addressed the rumor that her boyfriend killed Kierra, she said, “I don’t think he was involved.” Her sister, Keshia Phillips, who was also in the studio said, “We’re not singling anybody out. We know he is going to be a suspect, but as far as people putting his mother, his kids — all that stuff up there — that’s just not right. We’re not asking nobody to do that, that’s not the type of help that we’re looking for.” Watch the interview below. The U.S. Postal Inspection Service is offering $28,000 for information about Coles’ disappearance, the Chicago Tribune reports. “At this point, anything is possible,” said the postal inspection services’ spokesperson Julie Kenney . “We’re just looking for information.” It’s Been 4 Days My Heart Is Aching!!!

Source: Palm / Palm Palm the brand behind PDA’s (personal data assistants) that were all the rage in the 90s is back from the dead. The company unveiled its tiny new assistant to the world. Yesterday (Oct 15) the company announced its new small device that in essence acts as a phone but it’s not a phone. Head scratching right? Well, Palm’s new assistant is just that an assistant to help ween you away from your larger smartphone. It will pair with your phone just like your smartwatch does and Palm is hoping people will instead choose the smaller handset which is about the size of a credit card over their favorite wearable. Source: Palm / Palm Instead of straining your eyes staring at your smartwatch, you get a much a larger 3.3-inch touchscreen. It’s IP68-rated water- and dust-resistant and has 2GB of storage, an 800mAh battery, 3GB of RAM, runs Android 8.1 that grants users access to all apps in the Google Play store and of course a camera. It features one USB-C port for charging and headphones and is equipped with Bluetooth 4.2 low energy. Oh, and Palm promises it will last all day too if you put in Life Mode which silences the phones notifications and incoming calls. The Palm will also sync with iOS devices but can’t run iOS-only apps so that might scare some Apple aficionados from away the Palm. Source: Palm / Palm Right out of the gate Palm has a big face trying to sell you on the new device, and it’s none other than the unanimous MVP and NBA champion Steph Curry who is also an advisor and investor with the brand. Hyped to bring @Palm back and share everything we’ve been working on since day 1! #LetsGo #LiveInTheMoment pic.twitter.com/SvVQZxJifT — Stephen Curry (@StephenCurry30) October 15, 2018 Palm’s new device will be exclusively sold by Verizon and will cost $349 on top of adding an additional $10 to your phone bill. Once signed up the devices LTE cellular radio will be activated and will be synced to the primary device receiving all of its calls and messages. Sounds like a good idea, but newer Apple and Samsung devices already have functions to help limit your smartphone use. But who knows maybe people will gravitate towards The Palm. — Photo: Palm
A group of Mrs. America contestants’ complaints of racism about the pageant CEO and co-founder may open the floodgates for more allegations to come in the future. The complaints already have re-opened the door to the racist history of beauty pageants. RELATED: Beauty Queen Stoned To Death For Being In Pageant Black women have historically been shut out of pageants and forced to create their own contests. Members of this same group found themselves shut down again, saying that David Marmel made disparaging comments about African-Americans at the Mrs. America competition in Las Vegas in August. Four contestants — three Black and one white — called out Marmel for racist remarks that included him having repeatedly hurled the N-word. Marmel also allegedly said that Black women “need to stop having so many babies,” the women said during a press conference Monday. His other alleged offenses included saying that Black men were “drug dealers, incarcerated in jail, on welfare and killing each other.” Mrs. Delaware Kimberly Phillips , Mrs. New Jersey Crissy Timpson , Mrs. Ohio Jeri Ward and Mrs. Missouri Brandy Palacios made clear their feelings, with the help of high-profile women’s rights lawyer Gloria Allred , USA Today reported. Four former Mrs. America contestants say the pageant's co-founder and president said that black women “need to stop having so many babies” and black men “need to stop shooting each other.” https://t.co/IVWf89gXJx — USA TODAY (@USATODAY) October 16, 2018 Adding insult to injury, the women also called out Marmel for allegedly having compared his skin tone to the Black contestants. The women reportedly don’t plan to file a lawsuit. Instead, they want an apology from Marmel and equal treatment for contestants. However, a lawsuit would be a likely move based on the claims and the painful history of racism in beauty pageants. It was 50 years ago that protesters and feminists took on the Miss America pageant to fight for women for the first time since the pageant’s creation in 1921, according to the Smithsonian . They were sick and tired of the pageant’s vain and oppressive standards of judging women on their appearance and white skin: “Rule 7″ stated that Miss America contestants had to be “of good health and of the white race” before it was thrown out in 1940. At the time of the protest in 1968, a Black woman had not been crowned winner nor invited to participate in the pageant. Black women didn’t wait for an invite; they created their own pageants. The first-ever Miss Black America pageant was born as a result of the mainstream pageant blackout that same year as the protest. The inaugural pageant celebrated Blackness as beautiful — a message that still gets lost in translation in those same spaces today. The Mrs. American contestants’ stories about Marmel indicated that some mainstream pageants were still not as inclusive as needed.

Amazing news for Teen Mom fans, and fans of great big douchebags getting what they deserve … Amber Portwood has finally dumped Matt Baier! For real this time! She’s recently claimed that they’d broken up , but it seemed a little suspect — the girl was super wishy-washy about the whole thing. At one point, she said that she dumped him, but she’d be open to taking him back if he got therapy. At another point, she called off their October wedding and their engagement, but at the time Matt was still living in her house. So even though she’s said a few times now that she’s done with him, you can see why we’ve had a hard time believing her. Until now, that is. For the past several days, Amber and Matt have been filming for the new season of Marriage Boot Camp , and judging by her tweets, it hasn’t been going that well. Earlier this week, she wrote “Crazy couple weeks and I’ve taken a few steps back in the progress I’ve made however I’m learning so much about myself through others!” Then yesterday she tweeted “I need to get out of this house!!! Drunk bimbo with too many opinions!! This isn’t going to end well when I’m done!!! Fake.” We don’t know who the “drunk bimbo” in question is, but it sounds like Amber’s trashy side is coming out hard in the Marriage Boot Camp environment. When someone asked if she was OK, she replied “I’m fine but I can’t control my anger with ignorant people.” She added “BTW I’m a narcissist and an actor supposedly… Love it.” She’s having such a bad time that she actually said “I wish Farrah was here lol.. I would be much happier!!” Considering that the last time Amber was in the same room with Farrah she tried to punch her and verbally assaulted her … that’s saying a lot. “I’ve literally let this house consume me and set my anger off more than I could ever imagine!” she admitted in another tweet. “I know my limits and I’m at the end!!!” “I’m doing a show that I should have never agreed to do,” she added. “I’ve been taken out of my element to many times however I’ve learned a lot.” One of the things she learned, apparently, is that Matt is the worst. Early this morning, she tweeted at Matt to “Take all my kids pics off your dumb social media and me and you while your at it … thanks have fun at whoever’s house your at.” She explained that it’s “been 2 days” and Matt “is already posting videos on Instagram of him at someone’s house with 50 bottles of liqueur everywhere.. it’s on.” Matt’s deleted whatever video she’s referring to, but it seems like she broke up with him, he left the Marriage Boot Camp house two days ago, and now he’s partying somewhere. When he tweeted about the long weekend for the Fourth of July, she replied “Long weekend of getting dumped,” along with a winky face. She also told him “I would lawyer up sweetheart… you owe me a little bit of change. I’ll pray for you.” Amazing, right? Even though she’s said that they’ve broken up before, she’s never been this vicious towards him, and we are absolutely loving it. Here’s hoping it’s not just for publicity for the show, and that even though Amber likely won’t get anywhere with any legal action, she tries anyway. It’s high time Matt got what was coming to him.

The president in no way, form or fashion has ever promoted or encouraged violence. If anything, quite the contrary. So said Deputy White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders earlier this week. Fast forward a couple days… and Donald Trump has posted what may be his most ridiculous and controversial Tweet to date; which, we know, is saying A LOT. In the video below, however, which the President of the United States shared on his social media account on Saturday morning, Trump has edited an appearance he made for the WWE back in 2007. In the footage, he is beating up on the CNN logo, continuing his feud against the cable news network and directly contracting the Sanders quote above. If this isn't an encouragement of violence against the press, we're not sure what is. This is the fourth straight day Trump has used the most powerful platform on the planet to rail against the media, following a bizarre rant against Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski . We could have said this many times in the past, but he's legitimately coming across as completely unhinged these says. Twitter is more concerned than usual about the mental state of our Commander-in-Chief. Here are just a few examples of what is being said about the President: In a perfectly-worded response, CNN shot back as follow today: It is a sad day when the President of the United States encourages violence against reporters. Clearly, Sarah Huckabee Sanders lied when she said the President had never done so. Instead of preparing for his overseas trip, his first meeting with Vladimir Putin, dealing with North Korea and working on his health care bill, he is instead involved in juvenile behavior far below the dignity of his office. We will keep doing our jobs. He should start doing his. Watch the controversial Trump video below:
