What’s Next For Stacey Abrams And Andrew Gillum? Fallen Candidates Hint At Political Futures

Follow this link:

A ndrew Gillum ‘s concession this weekend in the Florida gubernatorial election followed Stacey Abrams ‘ one day earlier in Georgia, leaving their political ambitions unfulfilled … for now, that is. While their midterm election losses by the narrowest of margins were a major letdown for their campaigns and supporters, both races also showed how perhaps with more support from the Democratic establishment and less voter suppression — a major factor in each election — they could, or, at least, should emerge victorious with another run. The question is, do they have any more campaign runs left in them? For Abrams, the answer was clear: A resounding yes. “I’m going to spend the next year as a private citizen, but I do indeed intend to run for office again,” Abrams told said during an interview on CNN Sunday morning. “I’m not sure for what, and I am not exactly certain when. I need to take a nap. But once I do, I’m planning to get back into the ring.” Stacey Abrams: “I do indeed intend to run for office again, I'm not sure for what and I am not exactly certain when. I need to take a nap, but once I do, I'm planning to get back into the ring.” (via CNN) pic.twitter.com/qK5ypZE3LF — Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) November 18, 2018 Abrams fought the good fight in the face of clear racial voter suppression by an opponent who was also the sitting secretary of state who seemed to orchestrate a series of “ dirty tricks ” on Election Day, including not supplying power cords for voting machines in polling places with mostly Black residents. Considering how much effort Republicans put into stopping Democratic and Black voters, some might consider her loss by fewer than 55,000 votes a victory. It certainly shouldn’t take any wind out of her sail even if the Blue Wave didn’t prevail in Georgia’s governor race. Gillum’s future was a different story, though. The person who was trying to become Florida’s first Black governor remained the mayor of Tallahassee after he conceded on Saturday night. He was expected to remain in office in the state capital through the end of his term next year. But after that, it was anybody’s guess. A tweet Saturday may have provided a glimpse into what’s next for him, but it was certainly open to interpretation. “We are going to keep fighting. We will keep working,” he said in a post to Twitter that was accompanied by a photo with his wife, both of them clad in orange, the school colors of their alma mater Florida A&M University. “And in the end, I believe that we will win.” We are going to keep fighting. We will keep working. And in the end, I believe that we will win. I am so thankful to each and every one of you. pic.twitter.com/fWCKQysGmZ — Andrew Gillum (@AndrewGillum) November 17, 2018 SEE ALSO: GOP Adviser Rips Into Brian Kemp For Stealing The Georgia Election Wake-Up Call To Democrats: ‘Black Women Get Things Done’ [ione_media_gallery src=”https://newsone.com” id=”3837133″ overlay=”true”]

Jesus Be A Thanksgiving Meal: Salmonella Outbreak Causes USDA To Recall Raw Turkey 

Source: LauriPatterson / Getty A lot of folks’ will be having a meatless Thanksgiving this year after the USDA’s recent recall on raw turkey. CNN reports: Jennie-O Turkey Store Sales, LLC recalled 91,388 pounds of raw ground turkey products after the USDA found that a sample of the products tested positive for a salmonella reading matching the outbreak strain. The samples were from a Sept. 11, 2018 production, and, according to the USDA, the rest of the products shipped nationwide. The Department of Agriculture has no idea where the outbreak started, which could mean that “it might be widespread in the turkey industry.” At least one person in California has passed away and 164 others across 35 states have been affected or hospitalized by the outbreak. Health officials are still investigating. Be safe though.

We Imagine Trump Is PISSED A Judge Reinstated Acosta’s Credentials…Which Gives Us That #FridayFeeling

Original post:

Source: Getty / Getty It’s not often that we laugh at the unhappiness of others—but let’s face it, anyone who’s sane is a little bit amused when Trump doesn’t get his way. He seems to feed off the misery of our nation , so any setback for no. 45 is ten steps forward for mankind. Most recently, Trump was accused of attempting to impede on CNN Journalist Jim Acosta ‘s first amendment rights. After going back and forth with Acosta, and quite frankly throwing a tantrum because Acosta was asking real questions, Trump had his White House press credentials revoked. “I think you should let me run the country, you run CNN, and if you did it well your ratings would be much better,” Trump told Acosta at the time . He followed up with, “CNN should be ashamed of itself having you working for them. You are a rude, terrible person. You shouldn’t be working for CNN,” Trump said. “You’re a very rude person. The way you treat Sarah Huckabee is horrible and the way you treat other people are horrible.” Oh, the comedy. But, guess what? A judge has officially ordered the White House to restore Jim Acosta’s press credentials, based on the journalist’s fifth amendment rights. Huffington Post states: “CNN’s victory was in response to a temporary restraining order asking for the immediate restoration of Acosta’s press pass. Its broader lawsuit concerns whether the White House’s decision to revoke his press pass was unconstitutional. U.S. District Judge Timothy J. Kelly, who was appointed by President Donald Trump last year, said CNN’s attorneys were likely to prevail in their argument that the White House had violated Acosta’s and the network’s First and Fifth Amendment rights. Kelly said he did not decide whether the White House violated the First Amendment, relying primarily on the Fifth Amendment in saying that Acosta’s and CNN’s right to due process was likely violated because the White House process for revoking his press pass was ‘shrouded in mystery.’” According to the site, Judge Kelly also cited “irreparable harm” to Acosta. Acosta will reportedly get his press pass back temporarily, “while the full lawsuit proceeds.” CNN said in a statement, “ We are gratified with this result and we look forward to a full resolution in the coming days. Our sincere thanks to all who have supported not just CNN, but a free, strong and independent American press.” While the White House still seems to be framing this as some sort of win , since the ruling was not based on  first amendment rights, we bet Trump’s pissed he may have to spar with Acosta again…hit the flip to see how we imagined his face looking when he heard the news. Plus, a happy and victorious Acosta here . Hehe.

Josh Duggar Is Breaking the Law Again: Will He FINALLY Go to Jail?!

When Josh Duggar molested five young girls , he avoided arrest and prosecution with the help of his parents. In the years since the scandal came to light, many Duggar fans have hoped that the long arm of the law would eventually catch up to Josh. According to a new report from Radar Online, Josh has once again been caught breaking the law . But it doesn’t look as though he’ll be imprisoned for his most recent infractions. The site claims that Wholesale Motorcars in Washington County, Arkansas — which Josh has managed since 2015 — has been operating without a permit for the entirety of his tenure. “We have one zoning designation in the county to allow single-family residential or agricultural uses,” a planning official in Washington County told Radar. “Anything else requires a conditional use permit to request a zoning change.” Officials claim Josh just started a business on non-commercial property without notifying the proper authorities. When a local fire marshal noticed Josh’s failure to obtain the proper licensing, he reported the father of five. As we’ve reported in the past, Josh is hated in his hometown , but his father, Jim Bob Duggar, still enjoys a tremendous amount of clout. As such, Josh was given a second chance to comply with the law. “The fire marshal wasn’t going to issue any more extensions,” the planning authority told Radar. “He was requiring that Josh make a good faith attempt, or make effort, toward receiving a review and permit approval, so that’s what he did.” And so, Josh was given time to apply for the mandatory permits and make the necessary repairs — of which there were many. Reports indicate that Josh didn’t display the building’s address anywhere on its exterior (a shady detail if ever there was one)/ Also, his property had no smoke detectors and was generally in a state of disrepair. Of course, the Duggars have violated local zoning laws before, most recently when Jim Bob attempted to open a “luxury RV park” without notifying local officials. Like Josh, Jim Bob was in no way held accountable for his violations. View Slideshow: Anna Duggar: Did She Get Pregnant to Save Josh’s Career?!

Bride-to-Be Stunned After Future Mother-in-Law Caught Texting Lies

A bride-to-be is begging the internet for advice. After spending what she thought was a nice day buying her wedding dress, she learned that her future mother-in-law is spreading lies about her. Her mother-in-law called the day a “s–t show” and, having been caught, won’t even speak to to the bride. Yikes. Most of Reddit is a cesspool, but sometimes, people looking for advice share some amazing stories. One that really caught on and made the rounds this week concerns a bride-to-be who discovered that her future mother-in-law is a two-faced liar. In a Reddit post that has since been locked (thanks to a salty moderator who didn’t like the story going viral). But we know what the northern California Reddit user who goes by the handle “Bamboo2u” said about her monster-in-law .  She reveals that a few relatives, including her mother and her soon-to-be mother-in-law, traveled up from southern California. They accompanied her while she picked out her wedding dress. “Overall we had a great day and I got the most amazing dress,” she writes. “My mom cried and my fiance’s mom cried … it was special” Before she reveals the backstabbing, she shares some specifics from that day’s conversations. “At lunch my mom told everyone she suggested I keep my maiden name for work only,” she writes. “And take my fiance’s name for personal life.” She shares that this is a specific necessity for her line of owrk. “I have a problem with clients asking to be friends on Facebook and Instagram,” she says. “Which I cannot do because it’s against my work’s rules.” She explains: “I want to keep my personal life private from my work life.” “My fiance’s mom agreed with my mom,” she says. “Because that is what she does for work too.” She was filled with joy and excited for her wedding. Those happy feelings faded when she received a scathing text from her mother-in-law. (Her mother-in-law has been symbolically pictured here as a plant that is sometimes called mother-in-law’s tongue ) You know how you can accidentally message the wrong person, and it just makes you want to curl up into a ball and disappear? Well, it turns out that it’s almost as bad to receive a wrong text  “The text said the whole day was a s–t show,” she writes. “And,” she continues, her future mother-in-law wrote “that my mom advised me to not take my fiance’s name for career reasons.” “I’m so hurt that she would go around spreading lies about my mom,” she says. “She knows that’s not what my mom said.” Obviously, that’s horrifying. What she thought had been a pleasant day turned into a nightmare. She told her fiance and he even confronted his mother. When he asked his mom to apologize, she writes, the woman who will soon be her mother-in-law refused. “Honestly, I’m more worried she is now going around to his family and saying mean things about my mom,” the woman writes. It makes sense to feel more offended on her mother’s behalf. “I’m not sure what to do at this point,” the woman confesses. This is why she went onto Reddit to ask for advice. “I saw my future mother in law the other day and she refused to look at me or even talk to me,” she reveals. All jokes from people who despise their mothers-in-law aside, you don’t really want to not be on speaking terms with your spouse’s mom. “But I’m the kind of person who likes to kill you with kindness,” the woman concludes. “Which seems to drive her crazy.” Some suggest that she go on as she’s doing, but to be on guard that this could happen again. Others think that continuing to be polite will let this woman sweep this matter under the rug — and that she should go to war over it. But good luck for this woman’s wedding.

Kim Kardashian: I Loved to Look at OJ Crime Scene Photos as a Kid!

Something strange is going on with the Kardashians. Perhaps they’re taking a page from Kanye’s Big Book of Insanity , or maybe the sisters realized they need to be less boring if they’re to maintain the vise-grip on our national consciousness that they’ve enjoyed for the past decade. Whatever the case, the Kards have been more dramatic, more eccentric … more weird in recent months than ever before. It’s a trend fans began to notice when the sisters began to engage in increasingly vitriolic arguments on Keeping Up With the Kardashians. (The recent Kim vs. Kourtney feud is a memorable, hilarious example.) Around this same time, Khloe became much more candid when discussing the Tristan Thompson cheating scandal . Now, even Kim — long regarded as the most “basic” of the Kardashian sisters — is proudly letting her freak flag fly (and not in the way she did in her infamous Ray J tape ). Due to her involvement in securing presidential pardons for Alice Marie Jones  and other non-violent inmates, Kim was invited to appear at the Variety/Rolling Stone’s Criminal Justice Reform Summit in Los Angeles. And she made some surprising revelations during an onstage interview with CNN’s Van Jones. Speaking about her father’s work as a lawyer, Kim opened up about the ways in which her family was affected by the OJ Simpson murder trial. “When he was involved in cases like the OJ case, that one was … obviously that was his best friend and it was deeper,” Kim  said. “Nicole was my mom’s best friend. It was more than just a case he took on. But a lot of the meetings were held at our home and we would have Johnny Cochran, Shawn Holley, Bob Shapiro. All the attorneys would meet in our house,” the mother of three continued. “And so they had all of the evidence books in the library of my dad’s house and so on the weekends when no one was around, I would go over these evidence books and go over crime scene photos and wild stuff.” Yes, it seems that just like the rest of the country, young Kiki was fixated on that grisly scene in Brentwood. Unlike the rest of us, however, the drama was playing out in her own home. “My sister Kourtney would be, ‘What are you doing? Why do you care about this stuff? Leave it alone. You are not supposed to be going through it.’ I was just always so interested,” she added. “I would just ask my dad questions. I was always really present.” So next time you find yourself wondering how someone as milquetoast as Kim puts up with the roiling insanity of Kanye West, just remember that this is a woman who grew up pics of her mom’s best friend’s murder.

Stacey Abrams Campaign Files Federal Lawsuit For Every Vote To Be Counted

See the article here:

S tacey Abrams is still fighting for every vote in Georgia to be counted, while  Brian Kemp ‘s campaign is claiming he won the governor race. However, the Associated Press , NBC and CNN  did not call the race. Therefore, Abrams filed a new lawsuit on Sunday. See Also: Bill Cosby Sentenced To 3 To 10 Years In Prison For Sexual Assault Conviction According to the Associated Press , Abrams’ camp “filed a federal lawsuit Sunday asking a judge to delay vote certifications in Georgia’s unsettled governor’s race by one day and to make officials count any votes that were wrongly rejected. If successful, the suit would prevent officials from certifying county vote totals until Wednesday and could restore at least 1,095 votes that weren’t counted.” In a conference call, Abrams’ campaign manager  Lauren Groh-Wargom  said the state’s numbers “can’t be trusted” and “that 5,000 votes came in Saturday.” She also said, “This race is not over. It’s still too close to call.” Brian Kemp’s team have not responded to the lawsuit. There was another lawsuit filed last week by five Georgia voters asking for Kemp to stop being involved in the election results. He was the secretary of state, which means he oversaw his own election. Even former President Jimmy Carter called on Kemp to resign .  Laurence Schwartzol of Protect Democracy, a nonpartisan nonprofit, is a lawyer for the voters and said, “This lawsuit is all about a fundamental unfairness — to have Kemp run the rules of this election, where Secretary Kemp has showed he misused his office in hyper-partisan way.” Kemp resigned on Friday, but many people felt like it was too late and his voter suppression tactics had already done damage. Stay in the fight, Stacey Abrams. SEE ALSO: All The Ways Cops Are Still Trying To Cover Up LaQuan McDonald’s Execution Outrageous!
