Image via FatCamera Flight Attendant Breastfeeds Passenger’s Hungry Infant The subject of breastfeeding has become quite a polarizing topic over the past few years with lots of news coverage, but we’ve never come across a story like the one we found in the NYPost . 24-year-old flight attendant Patrisha Organo found herself in a situation recently when a passenger’s infant child began wailing at the top of its lungs after the mother ran out of formula mid-flight. What in the hell could Patrisha possibly do to solve this problem? There was no formula aboard the plane, however, Patrisha, a new mother herself, had a bold plan… That’s right. Patrisha offered up her own motherly tidday to help save the ears of the passengers and satitate the starving beast baby. The question is? Would you do either? Offer your breast to feed a hungry child, or allow your child to be breastfed by a stranger?

The actress, 46, posted pictures today of herself holding her baby girl that she and Dwyane Wade welcomed via surrogate. “We are sleepless and delirious but so excited to share that our miracle baby arrived last night via surrogate and 11/7 will forever be etched in our hearts as the most loveliest of all the lovely days,” Gabby wrote on Instagram. “Welcome to the party sweet girl! #onelastdance #skintoskin @dwyanewade .” This is BIG news for Gabby.

G eorgia’s Democratic nominee for governor Stacey Abrams dismissed her GOP rival Brian Kemp ’s latest maneuver as a “desperate” attempt to distract voters. SEE ALSO: Stacey Abrams’ Unapologetically Black Journey To The Doorstep Of History Appearing Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union with Jake Tapper,” the host Jake Tapper informed Abrams that Kemp, who’s also Georgia secretary of state, opened an investigation of the Georgia Democratic Party into possible cybercrimes. Kemp reportedly alleges that state Democrats may have hacked into Georgia’s voter registration system. “This is a desperate attempt on the part of my opponent to distract people from the fact that two different federal judges found him derelict in his duty and forced him to allow absentee ballots to be counted,” she said after hearing about Kemp’s allegations for the first time. Abrams could make history on Tuesday as the nation’s first African-American woman governor. Kemp, who oversees the state’s election system, has tried to use every trick in the book to suppress the Black vote for the 2018 election. Former President Jimmy Carter asked Kemp to recuse him to ensure a fair election . But Kemp continues to decline. Here's the secret to @staceyabrams ' unapologetically Black journey to the doorsteps of political history… https://t.co/Dx6J4E1zZi #RepresentTheVote @K_JeanPierre pic.twitter.com/fv5K81pWGD — NewsOne (@newsone) November 4, 2018 On Oct. 30, a federal judge, for a second time , put a halt to his attempt to throw out absentee ballots, predominately targeting voters of color. A separate court upheld those two decisions on Friday . Meanwhile, a white supremacist group is suspected of sending out racist robocalls to an unknown number of Georgia voters, the Associated Press reported on Saturday. The automated calls reportedly included impersonations of Oprah Winfrey , who led a rally on Thursday for Abrams. An Idaho man named Scott Rhodes is believed to be behind the calls through his organization The Road to Power, which is also linked to racist robocalls targeting Tallahassee’s African-American Mayor Andrew Gillum who’s running for governor of Florida. The calls came days after President Donald Trump , who endorsed Kemp, called Abrams unqualified to be governor . “He’s wrong,” Abrams told CNN on Sunday, pointing to her academic and work background. Abrams noted that she was the Democratic leader in the Georgia House of Representative for seven years, a deputy city attorney and a successful businesswoman. “I think they are seeing the same numbers we’re seeing. Early voting is up dramatically,” Abrams stated. “We have a plan in place for remarkable turnout on Election Day…and I think they’re (Kemp and Trump) getting scared.” SEE ALSO: Mayor Andrew Gillum Temporarily Suspends Campaign After Shooting In Tallahassee Can Oprah Winfrey Help Stacey Abrams Win Georgia?

C hris Rock and Keegan-Michael Key brought humor to the serious issue of voter suppression in a video that informs African-Americans about their rights. SEE ALSO: ‘I Approve This Message!’: Oprah Fires Up Georgia Voters For Stacey Abrams The comedians appeared together in a video clip released on Friday by NowThis and Color of Change days before the crucial midterm elections on Tuesday. Since the early voting season got underway , advocacy groups have been fighting against a growing list of alleged suppression efforts by Republicans—much of it targeting African-Americans. In the opening scene, Key says, “Hi. I’m Keegan-Michael Key, and I’m here to talk to you about the importance of…” Rock’s voice is heard in the background yelling, “Cut!” He pushes Key to cut to the chase because people already know his name. Key tries again, rambling on about “efforts underway across America” to prevent “certain groups from voting.” “What are the groups you’re talking about? New Kids on the Block? Spice Girls? ‘Groups?’” Rock asks. Key explains that he’s talking about Black people. “Well then say Black people!” Rock shouts. Look at the video embedded in this tweet.

Suppression efforts targeting Black voters have already been seen in Georgia , where Stacey Abrams could make history as the first African-American woman governor. Voting rights advocates have been busy battling those efforts, including a lawsuit against Georgia election officials for the unusually high rate of absentee mail ballot rejections. The Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law is one of the groups at the forefront of the battle. In addition to filing lawsuits and legal briefs on issues surrounding voting rights, the organization administers a hotline, 866-OUR-VOTE, year-round under the Election Protection coalition of advocacy groups. The hotline is a resource for voters throughout the nation who want to report complaints or obtain information to facilitate voting. A team of trained legal volunteers will receive the calls and answer any questions. Every eligible voter deserves an opportunity to participate in our democracy. If you experience problems voting, get LIVE help from a trained volunteer by calling #866-OUR-VOTE. #BeAVoter pic.twitter.com/FkBsbbIjLF — Lawyers' Committee 866-OUR-VOTE (@LawyersComm) November 2, 2018 In the video, Keys looks into the camera and informs viewers that they have a right to a provisional ballot if something goes wrong at the polls, such as poll workers unable to find their name on the voting rolls.

G eorgia is one of the reddest states on the political map, yet Democratic nominee for governor Stacey Abrams is running neck-and-neck against her GOP rival in the polls. SEE ALSO: Georgia Isn’t Even Trying To Hide Its Racist Voter Suppression Efforts With This Video Republican nominee Brian Kemp held the slimmest of leads among likely Georgia voters, 47-46, over Abrams, according to an Ipsos/Reuters/University of Virginia Center for Politics poll reported on Wednesday. Kemp’s 1 percentage point lead is statistically insignificant. That poll reinforced results reported on Oct. 11 from an Atlanta Journal-Constitution/Channel 2 Action News survey that also found a 1 percent lead for Kemp. The race is stunningly close in a state that last elected a Democrat ( Roy Barnes ) for governor in 1998. If Abrams wins, she will become the nation’s first African-American woman governor. The wave of Black women candidates just got stronger with this grassroots funding milestone. #RepresentTheVote https://t.co/s58JvQWrMA pic.twitter.com/wA4csBNFc1 — NewsOne (@newsone) October 19, 2018 Republicans control the Georgia legislature. Both U.S. senators from Georgia are GOP members, and the state gave its electoral votes in 2016 to President Donald Trump . Despite all the madness coming from the White House, around 50 percent of Georgia voters still approve of the president’s job performance, the Ipsos poll showed. Yet Abrams is making headway in a historic bid for governor. Part of the reason is the demographic changes taking place across the state, according to Fox News . Metro Atlanta’s nonwhite population almost doubled from 1970 to 2015, and those minority voters largely support Democrats. At the same time, Georgia has seen a record number of people register to vote for the midterm election. No wonder Kemp, who oversees elections in Georgia as secretary of state, is trying every trick in the book to suppress minority voters from participating in November. His efforts include an attempt to block 53,000 voter registration applications —about 70 percent of whom were African-Americans.

Something happened in the past few years in the Teen Mom universe. Something no one could've seen coming at the onset. Somehow Kailyn Lowry has turn into one of the most controversial cast members, if not the most controversial entirely. It's been pretty wild to watch, honestly. Teen Mom also features a cast of characters like Jenelle Evans, Farrah Abraham, Bristol Palin and Amber Portwood. You get the point. Why hate on Kail?! We couldn't tell you, but people do, for whatever reason. Maybe just because she's so outspoken, strong and successful? In any case, the 26-year-old Boss Mom of Three is brushing it right off her shoulders. 'Cause you know who doesn't hate her? You may be surprised … 1. A Roller Coaster of Emotions So Kailyn with Chris Lopez … yeah, that’s been a wild ride. 2. In the Beginning … They met at college, and after her marriage to Javi Marroquin fell apart, they started hooking up. 3. Well Then And then she got pregnant. 4. Not Great If you’ve kept up with your Teen Mom 2 viewing, then you know that that wasn’t the best time for either of them. 5. Wonder Why?

He also refused to accompany her to doctor’s appointments, something that really hurt her. View Slideshow
The past year has not been particularly kind to Jill Duggar. It all started back in November of 2017, when Derick Dillard was fired from Counting On . Jill quit the show as a gesture of solidarity, which unfortunately left the couple with two kids to raise and no source of income. One would think that after such a precipitous fall from grace, Derick would be forever on his best behavior, but thus far that hasn’t been the case. These days, Derick is in law school and taking steps toward once again supporting his wife and kids, but the months since his termination have been tumultuous for reasons that go far beyond financial instability. Derick has been accused of cheating on Jill, and the fact that neither party has addressed those rumors has only added to the public scrutiny of their relationship. Earlier this week, Jill posted the photo below, which shows her reading a self-help book entitled Boundaries by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend. “Reading a little during bath time. lol #momlife #orangebathwater #boundariesbook,” Jill captioned the pic. As In Touch Weekly points out, many of Jill’s followers commented that they had also enjoyed the book and found it especially helpful for mending fractured relationships. “Very good for dealing with toxic family members or friends!” wrote one such fan. Others noted that Jill could very much benefit from the lessons about independence, and Derick often seems to treat her as his doormat, even going so far as to make Jill attend his law school lectures to assist in taking notes. “A great time to say ‘no’ is going to your husband’s school. That is a good boundary to work on, Jill,” commented one follower . “Her father controlled her life until she married her husband,” added another fan. “She NEEDS to read this book.” As many others pointed out, this is not the first time that Jill has used her Instagram page and her choice of reading materials to throw subtle shade at her controversial husband. Jill recently posted a photo of her Bible, in which the section about adultery has been highlighted in its entirety. Like we said, neither Jill or Derick has confirmed or denied that Derick was busted cheating recently — and in all likelihood, they never will. But that doesn’t Jill is above throwing a little shade with her Instagram posts. View Slideshow: Jill Duggar: Is She Rebelling Against Jim Bob’s Belief System?!
