Judge Rejects Brian Kemp’s Georgia Absentee Ballot Suppression Attempt

Excerpt from:

F or a second time, a federal judge put a halt to Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp ’s attempt to throw out absentee ballots over mismatched signatures. See Also: Georgia Isn’t Even Trying To Hide Its Racist Voter Suppression Efforts With This Video Federal Judge Leigh Martin May on Tuesday rejected Kemp’s request to suspend her initial Oct. 24 temporary order that instructed all local election officials to stop rejecting absentee ballots over the signatures, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. Kemp is appealing May’s first ruling and wanted the judge to suspend her decision until a higher court hears the case. Kemp, the GOP nominee for Georgia governor, is in a tight race against Stacey Abrams , who could become the nation’s first African-American woman governor. He’s been criticized for his multiple attempts to suppress the Black vote for the 2018 election. Former President Jimmy Carter has asked Kemp to recuse him to ensure a fair election . BREAKING: A federal Judge in GA declined Sec of State Brian Kemp’s request to pause an injunction she ordered stemming from our absentee ballot litigation against Kemp and lawsuits filed by @CoalitionGoodGv + @ACLU https://t.co/YnwFu2w28g — Lawyers' Committee 866-OUR-VOTE (@LawyersComm) October 31, 2018 May’s initial Oct. 24 ruling stems from two lawsuits filed by voting rights organizations after advocates noticed that election officials in Gwinnett County, an Atlanta suburb, were rejecting hundreds of absentee ballots for signature discrepancies. The rejected ballots were disproportionately from minorities. In siding with the voting rights organizations, May ordered Kemp to instruct all election officials to stop tossing out the ballots over signature issues. She noted that there are many legitimate reasons that signatures on the ballots may not match the signature on government ID cards, including stress, age, or simply rushing to sign your name. Officials must mark those ballots provisional and give the voter the right to appeal the decision or confirm his or her identity. The secretary of state’s appeal of May’s order is expected to be heard in the United States Appeals Court’s Eleventh Circuit.

Source: Jose Mosquera / Getty via MadameNoire.com : Winter is coming. As the temperature cools outside, we tend to cuddle up in our blankets, sitting in front of the TV, snacking. Research at Johns Hopkins University found that on average, people can pack on five to seven pounds during colder months. Some of the reasons for the extra weight gain can be attributed to sleeping too much, the heavy calorie count that comes with holiday meals, and the lure of warm comfort foods (pasta!).

According to a new study published by the British Journal of Nutrition, if you consume cottage cheese before bed, you can lose weight. Say what? Yes, if you are a cheesehead, this may be the diet hack for you. Research showed that eating low-calorie foods helps to boost your metabolism and helps to support muscle strength and your overall health, Women’s Health reports.

If you snack on two tablespoons of cottage cheese just a half an hour before hitting the Z’s, it could help improve your waistline. “Until now, we presumed whole foods would act similarly to the data on supplemental protein, but we had no real evidence,” says Professor Michael Ormsbee, from  Florida State University . SEE ALSO:  Rappers Who Lost Weight & Look Better Than Ever [PHOTOS] “This is important because it adds to the body of literature that indicates whole foods work just as well as protein supplementation, and it gives people options for pre-sleep nutrition that go beyond powders and shaker bottles.” Of course, any of these tips need to be incorporated into an overall healthy diet and exercise routine. But if a couple spoonfuls of cheese could help us in our weight loss goals, bring it on!

Kris Jenner Fights to Stop Keeping Up With The Kardashians Cancelation

15 seasons isn’t enough for Kris Jenner. She wants 25 or more. But she may be in for a rude awakening, because Keeping Up With The Kardashians ‘ ratings have been getting stomped . Is the show that made her family a household name on its last leg? Or will it go on forever? RadarOnline   reports that Kris is prepared to fight for Keeping Up With The Kardashians to continue. “Kris says all the time she wants the show to go on for ten more seasons,” an insider reports. Can you imagine? “And,” the source continues. “If she had her way she’d do the show until she dies.” Bold of this insider to imply that Kris Jenner is capable of dying. Kris is eternal. Kris is reportedly looking to secure a new contract that guarantees multiple seasons. In the mean time, however, it looks like her brood has grown too successful for the show that made them stars. “Kim is already moving on to produce new projects of her own,” the insider notes. Kim has her own products, her video game from a few years ago was massively lucrative. She’s a model and a mogul. “And,” the source says. “The rest of the girls have terrific footholds in modeling and merchandising.” Kylie Jenner is poised to become a billionaire, but none of Kris’ daughters are hurting for cash. And it doesn’t look like they care about KUWTK as much as they once did. “Of the family,” the insider reports. “Only Kris is for keeping the show on the air the #1 priority.” Well, all of her children except for Kendall are parents, now. Priorities change. “And the network has already given up on their once lucrative business of creating spinoffs of the show,” the source adds. Yeah. No more Kocktails with Khloe for us. “Even Ryan Seacrest, who is still as involved as he can be, has other things he’s working on” “and leaves Kim to her own devices in terms of keeping the show relevant” We would joke that Ryan Seacrest is too busy dealing with the serious accusations of sexual assault from his former stylist. The woman had multiple witnesses to her allegations. But it doesn’t look like Seacrest is too bothered. Like too many others, his career seems unscathed by the horrible #MeToo story about him. Unfortunately, Kris has felt discouraged by some of those closest to her. “It doesn’t help that pretty much the only advice people give Kris about all this,” the insider begins. The source continues: “Is that she — and the kids — should quit ‘KUWTK’ before they get fired!” It’s understandable that friends would suggest something like this. Better to cancel a show with dignity, they reason, than to end up getting canceled. But the insider says: “That’s just not where her heart is at all!” It’s true that Season 15’s ratings weren’t as good as Season 14’s, and were certainly worse than what KUWTK saw years ago. But isn’t part of that just a result of people changing how they watch television? The Kardashians still rake in a sizable share of the market — enough that Kris can probably talk her way into renewal for years to come. Maybe her friends are right. Maybe she should quit with her head held high before, one day, E! makes that choice for her. But we kind of hope that she doesn’t. We’d miss the show. And so would a lot of people.

Megyn Kelly: I’ll Spill All the Tea on NBC, Unless…

Megyn Kelly is off the air. But she is not yet out of the building. Not yet, at least. Not officially, that is. The embattled reported is no longer appearing on NBC, as we’re sure most of our readers know quite well by now. She has been relieved of her duties as host of Megyn Kelly Today after anchoring a segment about controversial Halloween costumes… … which somehow devolved into Kelly wondering why blackface is considered racist . Despite a written apology and an on-air apology the day after this segment aired, Kelly was essentially fired by NBC not long after her initial comments went public and severe backlash quickly followed. However, while Kelly has no job to attend to this morning, she is still technically a network employee. The star and her legal team continue to negotiate a buyout, with many sources indicating that Kelly will be paid about $38 million to walk away. This is the approximate amount remaining on her contract. Now, though, TMZ cites another obstacle on the path to the full dissolution of this partnership. Insiders tell the website that NBC wants Kelly to sign a confidentiality agreement. This is standard operating procedure for this sort of situation — and executives are especially afraid of what Kelly might tell the world after she parts ways because she was unafraid to air NBC’s dirty laundry even while working for the company. Remember: Kelly interviewed one of Matt Lauer’s alleged sexual assault victims last year. She has also admitted that she knows about all of Lauer’s skeletons , which likely means she also has dirt of some higher-ups who may have covered up for these skeletons over the years. It makes sense for NBC to try and make sure Kelly cannot spill such damaging tea to the world after she signs a new deal with Fox News or whomever. Kelly’s lawyer, meanwhile, says his client is happy to sign this sort of nondisclosure agreement. For an additional $10 million. It’s also worth noting that Kelly wrote a book, “Settle for More,” in which she targeted Fox News Channel; and she has been very critical of that cable network since her departure in 2016. It’s certainly not beneath her to attempt to damage NBC after she settles her employment with the organization. The Today Show, for its part, is trying to move on. On Monday, Al Roker, Hoda Kotb and Craig Melvin greeted viewers during Kelly’s former timeslot, with Kotb opening the hour by saying : Today, as you know, we are starting a new chapter in the third hour of our show as it evolves. We want you to know that the entire TODAY family will continue to bring you informative and important stories, just as we always have. That’s great and all. But why do we have a feeling that the book on Megyn Kelly and NBC has not yet totally closed? View Slideshow: 11 Times Megyn Kelly Was Really Very Racist

Jenelle Evans: Did She Just Reveal That David Eason Broke Her Jaw?!

Following the revelation that Jenelle Evans was hospitalized after a fight with David Eason, the Teen Mom 2 star has spent much of the past few weeks defending her husband against assault allegations. Evans' efforts to convince her social media followers that Eason is a stand-up guy have grown increasingly desperate, and the more we learn about her home life, the more troubling the situation becomes. Take a look: 1. Repairing His Reputation In the weeks since Jenelle’s hospitalization, she’s been working overtime to demonstrate to her Instagram followers that her family is happier than ever. 2. Not Buying It Unfortunately for Jenelle, TM2 fans aren’t buying it, primarily because of the ever-growing mountain of evidence to the contrary. 3. The Injury Fans first became suspicious when Jenelle was rushed to an area hospital late at night without explanation. 4. The Call Their suspicions were confirmed when a recording of Jenelle’s 911 call was released. 5. The Proof In the recording, a tearful Jenelle can be heard describing the injuries she suffered as a result of her encounter with an intoxicated Eason. 6.

‘LHHHS5’ Recap: Brooke Valentine Catfishes Amber Diamond, Chaos Ensues

View post:

Source: Maury Phillips / Getty Tonight’s episode of Love and Hip-Hop Hollywood really just builds up to the end, when Bridget, Brooke, Shun Love, and Amber Diamond get into to a scuffle at a showcase (the usual). Speaking of Shun Love, she and Apple are getting along swimmingly. Shun Love got some bomb lawyers on Apple’s case and her 30-day prison sentence ends up getting shortened to a few days. Shun also moves Apple into a nice house in Hollywood (and her kids are coming to stay with her too). Their business relationship is poppin’ but Shun warns Apple that her Johnny Come Lately dad cannot be trusted. Apple agrees that he definitely has opportunist tendencies. Thanks, Captain Obvious. Next, we’re at A1 and Lyrica’s party. They’re just celebrating the baby and being back in love and Lyrica asks A1 to marry her again. Amber Diamond is present and she informs Apple and Lyrica that she and Marcus go back. Back back . Catch the insinuation? According to Amber, they’ve been well acquainted pretty much up until not too long ago. Amber Diamond and Marcus have a moment to talk here and Amber mentions that she saw Brooke recently at RoccStar’s release party. Remember, this is the event that Marcus didn’t want her to go to. You know what happens next right? Marcus confronts Brooke about defying his wishes and Brooke mentions that she noticed Marcus has been liking a lot of Amber’s pics on IG. She obviously doesn’t appreciate that. She also wrote a song inspired by him called “F–k Boy Tendencies.” This goes over well. Marcus’ response is basically that Brooke is on punishment. He doesn’t say it in those words but he tells her that she’s cut off financially and they won’t be going on any dates, etc. Yeah, this is dumb. They obviously have no trust in their relationship and probably need to leave each other alone. Anyway, we Brooke’s crazy arse tells Bridget what’s been happening with Marcus and that she found an app where you can text somebody using someone else phone number so she decides to play games. She texts Amber pretending to be Marcus and they have a flirty exchange. Amber even calls Marcus “Zaddy.” Brooke invites Amber to her upcoming showcase (as Marcus), and this is where the episode winds down. Shun and Amber arrive just as Brooke finishes performing and you already know Brooke starts taunting them. This goes predictably south. Shun and Amber pop off on Brooke, but this is a verbal assault because Brooke is still on stage. However, Bridget is standing right next to them and ends up getting dragged into the exchange by popping off at the mouth. Bridget, being in close proximity to the hostile parties, gets bopped right in the head by Shun Love. Check this out, Shun Love snatches Amber’s wig off and uses that as a weapon. Never have we ever seen someone yank off someone else’s wig to hit someone else with. We’ve seen Cardi B snatching off her own wig to fight, but this is leveling up the petty.

She Did What To Who?? Cardi Reacts To Nicki’s Claim That Rah Ali Dotted Her Eye, Spills MONTHS Of Beef-Flavored Tea

Photos by Steven Ferdman/WireImage Cardi B Responds To Nicki Minaj’s Queen Radio Read It looks like Cardi B had a free day in her booked and busy schedule to take a quick listen to Queen Radio, and she got an earful of everything Nicki had to say about their little red carpet scuffle during fashion week. First off, Cardi claims there are way too many “footages” out there of what really went down for Nicki to be pulling this tidbit about Rah beating her senseless out of her azz NOW. Also, she chides her rival rapper for claiming to be so gutter and ready for whatever, yet refusing to knuckle up when it came down to it and playing the victim after the fact. “You need to pick a side. Do you wanna be the victim or do you wanna be a gangster? You lie so much you can’t even keep up with your f*ckin lies. I know what there IS footage of, you up against the wall saying ‘I’m standing right here!’ Miss Chun-Li the Streetfighter. Get the f*ck out of here.” Oh, but it didn’t stop there. Cardi kicked back on the couch and debunked or addressed every sideways thing that’s slipped Nicki’s lips about her since the ball dropped on 2018. Hit the flip to catch Cardi going in on the “Motorsport” kerfuffle, Nicki saying she’s using “sympathy and payola” to jump start her career, leaked phone numbers, alleged bag-stopping, the whole nine… Sheesh. We’re starting to understand that shoe-throwing a bit more… Jackson Lee / SplashNews.com/Nancy Rivera/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images/Steven Ferdman/WireImage/Instagram

Trump Takes A Swipe At Andrew Gillum’s HBCU Education

T he divider in chief, Donald Trump , took steps to widen the racial wedge between the Florida gubernatorial candidates by implying an education at a historically Black college or university ( HBCU ) was decidedly inferior to the Ivy League. The president made his ignorant statement in a tweet despite growing evidence that the Democratic candidate — Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum — has consistently displayed a far more superior ability to campaign based on fact and policy over his opponent, Republican Ron DeSantis . But of course, Trump never lets the facts get in between him and his Twitter fingers. In Florida there is a choice between a Harvard/Yale educated man named @RonDeSantisFL who has been a great Congressman and will be a great Governor – and a Dem who is a thief and who is Mayor of poorly run Tallahassee, said to be one of the most corrupt cities in the Country! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 29, 2018 Gillum is a proud graduate of Florida A&M University, an HBCU. Nevermind the racist dog whistling in the tweet that was Trump calling Gillum “a thief,” an unsubstantiated charge from a president who routinely reinforces negative stereotypes about Black people. DeSantis has shown himself to be an unabashed racist, something that his alma maters Harvard and Yale universities can’t be proud of, no matter if the schools’ histories reflect otherwise (they do). Further, Gillum has twice upstaged DeSantis in both gubernatorial debates held last week, showing a masterful knowledge of policy compared to the racist attacks the Republican and his supporters have consistently resorted to. Trump’s tweet came less than a week after a report that he planned to make last-ditch pleas for votes for controversial GOP candidates. While Gillum has been consistently polling ahead of DeSantis, who resigned from Congress under a cloud of controversy stemming from a  House ethics complaint against him , early voting reports in Florida have indicated not many Democrats were going to the polls, which could spell bad news for the mayor. But if the election is decided based on policy plans and not racial rhetoric — DeSantis and his supporters have made multiple “monkey” references about the Democrat who could become the Sunshine State’s first African-American governor — Gillum should emerge victorious, by far. As of early Monday afternoon, Gillum was reportedly ahead of DeSantis by either 1 or 5 percentage points, depending on the poll . While political polling has proven to be an inexact science (see the 2016 presidential election for more on this), polling in the state of Florida has been pretty consistent over the years, especially when it comes to the governor’s race. “Four years ago, Charlie Crist led Rick Scott in eight of the final 20 2014 gubernatorial race public polls, Rick Scott led in six, and six polls showed them tied,” the Tampa Bay Times reminded readers on Monday. “The final polling average showed Crist with by just .6 percentage points, and Scott won reelection by 1.1 percent.” SEE ALSO: Mail Bomber Targeted Andrew Gillum, Too Andrew Gillum Reportedly Has Trump Scrambling In Last-Ditch Move For DeSantis [ione_media_gallery src=”https://newsone.com” id=”3833456″ overlay=”true”]
