The Scandal star really did tie the knot in a super secret wedding held in Blaine County, Idaho last July, totally disproving all the conspiracies and rumors stating otherwise, and for all the naysayers out there, here’s proof.
A marriage certificate, obtained by RaderOnline shows the bride and groom to be Washington and former San Francisco 49ers cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha.
House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) told immigration advocates that lawmakers will not take-up immigration reform this year. As a result, an amendment to deport DREAM-eligible immigrants — which passed with overwhelming GOP support in June — will be the only immigration measure to have received a vote on the floor of the House in 2013.
McCarthy’s remarks came after a week-long lobbying blitz from business groups, religious organizations, and immigration advocates. Proponents argued that comprehensive reform will provide a boost to the nation’s economy, create jobs for U.S. citizens and immigrants in the agriculture, retail trade, and construction sectors and bring millions of people out of the shadows.
But despite a series of constructive meetings with advocates, McCarthy explained to protesters camped outside of his district office in California that Congress did not have enough time to consider reform in the 16 remaining legislative days. The comments contradict reports of GOP leaders “struggling to come up with an agenda” to fill the end of the year with the House “facing no immediate cataclysmic deadlines.” Members come back from a week-long recess on Tuesday.
Last month, 186 Democrats introduced a comprehensive immigration reform bill that amends the measure passed by the Senate in June by “striking a controversial border security measure that would add 700 hundred of miles of fencing and 20,000 border control agents along the U.S.-Mexico border” and replacing it with a “border control plan that was passed unanimously by the House Homeland Security Committee last spring.” That proposal “instructs the Department of Homeland Security to write a plan that could ensure the apprehension of 90 percent of illegal border-crossers in high-traffic areas within two years and across the entire southern border within five years.”
Three Republicans — Reps. Jeff Denham (R-CA), Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL), and Rep. David Valadao (R-CA) — have co-sponsored the comprehensive bill. House leadership, however, is wary of allowing a vote on a measure that does not have the support of the majority of the Republican caucus and worry that advancing any immigration proposal that triggers a conference with the Democratic-controlled Senate would deal a blow to the House in final negotiations and open House Republicans to conservative primary challengers.
Wells was standing in the hallway joking with the teacher, when the encounter suddenly took a violent turn.
“All of a sudden he just hit me, in my shoulder,” Wells said in an interview with 12News. “… and I looked at him like, ‘What the heck?’”
The 4 feet 11 inches tall, 80 pound 7th-grader says that he responded by pushing the teacher’s shoulder. And, from there, the unthinkable happened.
The teacher was fired immediately and escorted off the premises, but was not arrested. To add insult to injury, he allegedly refused to apologize for his actions.
“He said ‘I can’t apologize for what I did, I was just having a bad day and I just snapped,’” said Wells.
“For you to just let a teacher do that to him and just walk off, he’s fired and walks off, I can’t accept that.”

When the Obamacare website rolled out, millions of Americans accessed the website and were greeted by the picture of a model of a smiling woman. Well she has a name, and she has feelings, and she is speaking out against the hate being directed towards her and her family from the Obama haters, better known as Republicans.
In an interview on ABC, Adrianna spoke about the cowards hiding behind their computers sending hate her way. “They have nothing else to do but hide behind the computer. They’re cyberbullying,” Adriana told ABC’s host Amy Robach. “I mean, I don’t know why people should hate me because it’s just a photo. I didn’t design the website. I didn’t make it fail, so I don’t think they should have any reasons to hate me.”
Adriana, who requested her last name not be used, said that the hate coming from the haters hurt, and expressed her concern for her family.“Like I said it was shocking. It was upsetting. It was sad. We were having a hard day when we read all this,” she recalled. “And in a way, I’m glad that my son is not old enough to understand, because you know whatever happens to you, it hurts them too.”

Just another Republican behaving badly. Nothing to see here.
According to the Philadelphia Daily News, Chairman Robert J. Kerns got drunk at what the paper called a “major GOP power-broker dinner” on Oct. 25 and then sexually assaulted the woman.
“Somebody alleged that he was drinking and sexually assaulted her,” a source told the Philadelphia Daily News. “It was supposedly a woman that worked with him. It took place the following evening, 24 hours later – not associated with the county dinner.”
WCAU reported that investigators had been seen at Kerns’ home in Upper Gwynedd. One source told the station that a search warrant had been filed to obtain evidence in the case.
A Center City defense attorney confirmed to WCAU that he had been retained to represent Kerns, but would not say why. The District Attorney’s office has also declined to comment.
Kerns, who is a partner in a Lansdale law firm, is married and has two grown sons
A New Hampshire man who had been accused of scrawling racist graffiti on the homes of African immigrants was hospitalized recently after shooting himself in the head.
According to court records obtained by the Concord Monitor, 43-year-old tattoo artist Raymond Stevens attempted suicide last week by walking into a cemetery and firing one round into his head. He reportedly survived the shooting but his current condition was not known.
In October, Steven had been charged in connection with racist graffiti written on the home of three African immigrants in 2011.
“Your subhuman culture has already brought many crimes linked to your mud people,” one message said. “You are not welcome here… You lower the value and safety of our good town… You bring death wherever your cursed people go.”
Messages on another home in August described a Somali family as “scum” and “primitive beasts.”
On Facebook, Stevens noted that he was a “proud Aryan man” and often posted screeds against President Barack Obama. He was also known to be a member of white supremacist groups and sing in a heavy metal band.
Now this is a Fox News poll, so take these results with a grain of salt. We all remember the polls this Republican establishment fabricated during the 2012 presidential election. They had poor Mitt Romney thinking he was winning, when in fact he was sweeping the bottom of the barrel.
Anyway, here is the poll results:
What a difference a couple weeks makes. Republicans have a slim three-point advantage when Americans are asked about their vote preference for Congress in the latest Fox News poll. That’s an 11 percentage-point shift from last month when Democrats had an 8-point edge.
The poll finds “if the Congressional election were held today,” 43 percent of voters would back the Republican in their district and 40 percent the Democratic candidate.
That’s a reversal from last month when 45 percent backed the Democratic candidate and 37 percent the Republican (October 20-22, 2013).
The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the White House will allow Americans to keep their garbage insurance plans.
The White House on Thursday will announce a plan for allowing insurance companies to continue offering existing individual insurance policies even if they fall short of the coverage standards set by the 2010 health-care law, a Democratic official briefed on the plan said.
The move is designed to ease the problem created by the cancellation of hundreds of thousands of policies in recent weeks. President Barack Obama will deliver a statement on the health law at 11:35 a.m. EST, the White House said, as the administration signaled it was open to legislation to fix problems with the rollout.
The move is likely to make it easier for the White House to dissuade Democrats from voting for a House Republican bill due to come to a vote on Friday that the Obama administration believes goes too far in trying to address the cancellation problem.
The Obama plan, which the official said could be implemented without passing legislation, would allow insurance companies to extend “substandard” plans in 2014 only if they are already in existence. Unlike the House bill, the administration plan wouldn’t allow insurance companies to offer such plans to new customers.
Recently reelected New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) has canceled his appearance at Thursday’s Committee of Seventy’s annual fundraising breakfast because of illness.
The governor’s office notified the good-government advocacy group of Christie’s cancelation at 6 p.m. Wednesday, the night before the event, saying the governor was “just not feeling well at all,” according to Zack Stalberg, Committee of Seventy president and CEO.
About 600 guests were expected to attend the event, the organization’s only annual fundraiser. Stalberg told The Huffington Post the group is “scrambling” to notify expected attendees that the breakfast is canceled and will be rescheduled when Christie can make it.
Michael Jordan once dunked a dunk so ferocious that not even Michael Jordan could believe it. A decade after his last game in the NBA, that dunk remains MJ’s favorite.
“My most memorable dunk, the one that I think about very, very often is the Patrick Ewing Dunk,” Jordan said in a promotional video for the newly released NBA 2K14 video game. “That’s only because Patrick and I are such great friends.”
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A man and a 7-month-old boy have been fatally shot in an apparent ambush on a New Orleans bridge.
Police spokesman Frank B. Robertson III told The Associated Press that someone opened fire on the 25-year-old man Wednesday night as he rode in the back seat of a black Honda Accord on the Crescent City Connection bridge.
Robertson says the boy was in a car seat beside the man. He says a woman who was driving and another woman who was a front-seat passenger were not hurt.
The boy was taken to a hospital, where he died.
The shooting happened just past the toll plaza area on the West Bank entrance to the bridge.
Robertson says police do not have a named suspect, but believe the shooter knew the man
