When will she be able to rest in peace? Six months after she was found face down in her bathtub, Bobbi Kristina ever regained consciousness and died. And now the woman who took care of her in her last days at a hospice is arrested, in police custody for pretending to be a nurse.
There’s no indication in a police report obtained by The Associated Press on Tuesday that Brown’s care was affected by Taiwo Sobamowo, the nurse in charge of caring for the 22-year-old at Peachtree Christian Hospice in Duluth.
Police said Sobamowo, 32, was impersonating a licensed nurse with a similar name and faces charges that include identity fraud and nursing without a license.
In a statement, Homestead Hospice CEO Mallie Sharafat said the company performed a background check and reviewed references from other health care agencies in the area. The company contracts with the hospice to provide care employees.
“We had no reason to believe that she was anything other than a good nurse with proper credentials,” Sharafat wrote. “As soon as the credentialing discrepancy was discovered by one of our employees, we immediately took action and notified the appropriate authorities.”
Jeb Bush’s campaign should be studied, dissected and analyzed, then documented and hung in the campaign Hall of Shame for future campaigns to know what not to do.
The latest poll, conducted after last week’s third GOP debate in which Bush delivered a mediocre performance, just 4 percent of Republican and independent Republican-leaning voters said they would support Bush in their state’s primary. In the September survey, Bush earned 10 percent, trailing Trump, Carson and Carly Fiorina. And in terms of favorability, no one polled lower than Bush, at a net-negative of 33 points. Just 25 percent of all registered voters surveyed said they had a positive opinion of him, while 58 percent said they had a negative one.
For its part, the Bush campaign has tried to manage expectations among the media.
“FYI political press corps. Jeb’s going to have a few weeks of bad polls,” campaign communications director Tim Miller tweeted Monday. “Comebacks take time, we recognize and are prepared for that.”
He ran on a platform attacking Obamacare and other social issues like gay marriage etc., and promising to take away the people’s healthcare if given a chance as governor. Well, the people of Kentucky have spoken and voted for Republican Matt Bevin to be their next governor.
Bevin led Democrat Jack Conway, Kentucky’s two-term attorney general, 52 percent to 44 percent when the Associated Press called the race just after 8 p.m. Conway never trailed in a public poll this summer or fall, or during the run-up to Election Day, and Bevin even trailed in his campaign’s own internal polling. But the Republican kept the race close and Kentucky’s increasingly conservative lean swept him home.
Bevin’s victory upends a decades-long trend in Kentucky in which Democrats have seen success at the state level despite struggling in federal races. Bevin leaned on social issues, including Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis’s refusal to issue same-sex marriage licenses this summer, to energize conservative voters. Bevin also criticized Conway for not defending the state’s same-sex marriage ban in court as attorney general.
And the Republican Governors Association spent millions of dollars on ads tying Conway to President Obama on coal, health care, and other issues, a formula that the group rode to success in other red-state races over the past five years.
Poor boy Jeb is losing at everything. He entered the Republican race as number 1 with all the heavy money bags following him around, but then Jeb began campaigning and just like that, his poll numbers plummet!
So yesterday Jeb rolled out a brand new slogan in hopes of rekindling the wet sticks used to lite the fire under his campaign. He went to his home town of Florida and held a rally in which he begged people to go buy his book. His slogan was catchy – JebCanFixIt – a perfect slogan for Twitter and Facebook and a Website.
But wait a second. If you type in jebcanfixit.com in your browser you’ll see a website, a website that has nothing to do with the Jeb Bush campaign or the jebcanfixit relaunch. A website belonging to a man in Texas who ran for the Austin City Council in 2014. The man, Mr. Jimmy Flannigan, is using the jebcanfixit website to say that Jeb Bush is stealing his idea. According to Mr. Flannigan, he came up with the ‘Flannigan Can Fix It’ slogan when he ran for the City Council in 2014, and now here comes Jeb with his ‘Jeb Can Fix It!’
Mr. Flannignan wrote; “In 2014, I ran for Austin City Council with the slogan “Flannigan Can Fix It” and now Jeb Bush is trying to steal my slogan!”
So, not only has Jeb failed to secure a website for his new slogan, according to Mr. Flannigan, Jeb is a thief!
It is times like this when I know my theory is correct, that Americans love punishment. How the hell is Ben Carson – a man who gives me the urge to flush the toilet everytime he opens his mouth, how can this man be tied with Hillary Clinton – the former Secretary of State – for president?
Pure insanity!
Clinton is ahead of Republican Donald Trump by eight points among registered voters, 50 percent to 42 percent.
She leads former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush by four points, 47 percent to 43 percent.
And Clinton holds a three-point advantage over Sen. Marco Rubio, 47 percent to 44 percent, though that’s well within the poll’s margin of error of plus-minus 3.4 percentage points.
But against Ben Carson, who is now leading the GOP horse race in the NBC/WSJ poll, Clinton finds herself in a tied contest, 47 percent to 47 percent.
The reason why Carson performs better versus Clinton than the rest of the GOP field is due to Carson’s standing among independent voters.
Now I’ve officially heard it all! On his recess at Our Lady of Lourdes School in Cincinnati, the 6-year-old first grader was playing Power Rangers according to his parents, and allegedly raised his hands in a bow and arrow manner and pretended to shoot one of his friends. He was immediately suspended after the October 29th incident.
“I didn’t really understand,” his mother, Martha Miele told WLWT. “I had him on the phone for a good amount of time so he could really explain to me what he was trying to tell me.”
“Does this really need to be a three-day suspension under the circumstances that he was playing and he’s 6 years old?” she asked.
He son’s suspension will end on November 3rd. He is scheduled to return to first grade on November 4th.
“I can’t stop him from pretending to be a super hero,” his mother said. “I can’t stop him from playing ninja turtles. I can’t stop him from doing these things and I don’t think it would be healthy to do so.”

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, has reestablished herself as the inevitable Democratic presidential candidate, and according to her opponent Senator Bernie Sanders, that’s to be expected at this stage in the race. Sanders however, is convinced that when it’s all said and done, he will be the eventual Democratic nominee.
“We are taking on the political establishment, we’re taking on the economic establishment,” Sanders told MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell on Tuesday when asked about his lagging poll numbers in a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll out Tuesday. “We started as the underdog we are still the underdog. But the kind of enthusiasm that we are generating tells me that at the end of the day we are gonna win this election.”
Clinton has double Sanders’ numbers, 62 percent to his 31 percent in the poll released Tuesday. Her lead has gone up slightly from October when the former secretary of state had 58 percent and Sanders had 33 percent. Overall, Clinton’s Real Clear Politics polling average lead over Sanders has jumped from 15 points on Oct. 3 to 24 points on Nov. 3. Clinton has also taken back the lead in some New Hampshire polls.
Mitchell asked Sanders what had gone wrong.
“I don’t think it’s a question of things going wrong, you know when we started this campaign we were at 3 or 4 percent in the polls. Since that point we have done extremely well in many states around this country,” Sanders replied.
And this is one of the reasons why Republicans are no match for the president. He is in a class by himself. He has more wit in his little finger than the 52 Republican candidates put together, and nothing these jokers do or say will ever change that.
At a democratic fundraiser in New York City on Monday, the president spoke about some of the nonsense going on in the Republican Party and in the GOP debates. One of the things he mentioned was the recent cry baby episode by Republican presidential candidates, complaining that the CNBC moderators were too hard on them and too unfair in their questions.
The president nailed it by saying that these are the same people who complained that he is weak when it comes to Putin. They claim they will be stronger. But as the president points out, how are they going to be stronger when dealing with Putin when they couldn’t even handle questions from CNBC moderators?
“Every one of these candidates says, ‘Obama’s weak, Putin’s kicking sand in his face. When I talk to Putin, he’s going to straighten out,'” Obama said during a democratic fundraiser in New York City.
“And then it turns out, “Every one of these candidates says, ‘Obama’s weak, Putin’s kicking sand in his face. When I talk to Putin, he’s going to straighten out,'” Obama said during a democratic fundraiser in New York City.
“And then it turns out, they can’t handle a bunch of CNBC moderators,” he said. “If you can’t handle those guys, I don’t think the Chinese and the Russians are going to be too worried about you.”

Donald Trump must be pulling his weave out right about now. In a new NBC poll, Trump is no longer the leader as Republicans are slowly coming to their senses. They are now choosing Ben Carson as the Republican standard-bearer for their party’s march into the presidential election… so much for coming to their senses.
The new poll conducted between October 25 to October 29, finds that among the Republican candidates for president, 29% prefer Ben Carson as their party presidential nominee. The Trump comes in second with 23%, followed by Marco Rubio at 11% and Canadian born Ted Cruz at 10%. The Republican establishment candidate of choice, Jeb Bush, comes in at a measly 8%.
The other candidates are not worth mentioning.
Chris Christie has a BIG mouth, but he might have bitten off more than he can chew here.
Christie has been busy lately trying to climb out of the poll-hole his campaign started in, and he figured attacking the President would get him out of that hole. But I’m not sure Christie expected the President and the White House to fight back!
Christie’s attack on the president says that Mr. Obama is responsible for whatever anti-police sentiments in America today. Yes, that attack plays good with the Republican base that hates everything Obama, but it is not based in reality. In an interview on MSNBC, Christie said, “We have liberal policies that tie the hands behind the backs of police officers and then when incidents happen, accuse them of misconduct first and then do the investigation later,” Christie said Monday. “And you’ve got a president of the United States who does not support law enforcement. Simply doesn’t.”
But the White House shot back.
Press secretary Josh Earnest called Christie’s claim that Obama does not support police “particularly irresponsible,” suggesting it’s an attempt to “turn around” his struggling presidential campaign.
“They’re not surprising for somebody whose poll numbers are closer to an asterisk than they are double digits,” Earnest said.
The questions in the last Republican presidential debate were apparently to hard for the bunch of Republicans wanting to occupy the most powerful office on earth, and those “gotcha” questions? Those questions must go! They cannot be asked because the people wanting to be president are incapable of thinking on their feet.
So the group held a meeting and came up with a list of demands for future networks wanting to ask them questions.
The Republican presidential candidates have finalized a long list of demands and questions for networks hosting debates going forward, according to a copy of a letter obtain by the Washington Post.
In the letter, the candidates demanded that networks communicate with candidates directly (as opposed to the Republican National Committee) and that the networks hold a conference call with candidates about the debate format at least a month before the debate. The candidates would then be able to determine whether they wish to participate in the debate.
The campaigns demanded that the debates include 30-second opening and closing statements, and asked that the networks nix lightning rounds and submit graphics with biographical details about the candidates to the campaigns for approval. The candidates also asked that the moderators ask the same number of questions to each candidate and refrain from “gotcha” questions.
The letter obtained by the Post also includes a long list of questions the campaigns would need the networks to answer. The questions cover who the moderators are, how long the debate is, and who will qualify for the debate. They also list things that networks should not include like “candidate-to-candidate questioning,” “reaction shots of members of the audience or moderators during debates,” and “behind shots of the candidates showing their notes.”
