Independent, Question? Tim Canova ran against Debbie Wasserman Schultz in 2016 and lost his race then. However, there has been no way to verify the results since the Broward County Election Board destroyed any way to verify the results. The County Elections Commissioner also openly backed Debbie Wasserman Schultz.  He had been on the path of challenging her as of 2018 and come to the conclusion that Annie Rice did: run as an Independent and challenge the status quo I back this decision because at least there is a way to truly run against her and not get shut out of the General since he wouldn't  in this case lose the Primary and his way to run against her. At times, you have to run outside of the party. I am hopeful that his voters from 2 years ago and canvassing the district will pull it off this time Strikes U of IL grad students union went on strike over pay, healthcare and childcare costs WV shut down their schools statewide and got a pay raise.

Wisconsin State Senate District 10’s was called for January 15 th and Democrat Patty Schactner defeated State Rep Adam Jarchow to claim the seat for Democrats. Additionally, there were two other seats that Governor Walker is refusing to hold special elections for due to his fear of those seats possibly having a Democrat elected to it. Further, there was a bill that the Legislature is taking up to give the Governor the ability to determine when to hold special elections, even if those elections would not be held until the next election cycle. This kind of move would leave many Wisconsinites unrepresented.  Scott Walker then had to face a Court and has until March 29 th to call special elections which would likely happen in June. Walker’s team argued that the filing time is in April and that it would lead to confusion—there are only two seats—for voters regarding who is running in which election but I don’t buy it. It is not the first, but second time he has had to come to a

PULSE Case People v Noor Salman After the June 2016 attack on Pulse nightclub, people clamored for action, but I don’t think the action people wanted was to go after Omar Mateen’s wife, Noor Salman   To the case: Judge Byron, who presided over the case asked a few questions of FBI Special Agent Richard Fennern, and it revealed exactly what many marginalized people have faced: that the FBI knew that Salman is innocent of the charges but decided to bring them against her anyway. Judge Byron ended up lashing out at the FBI committing fraud in order to advance this case. Let it be known that it’s rare for a spouse to be prosecuted for a terrorist attack carried out by their spouse, even when suspected It goes on to say that Mateen regularly abused her, Salman has a low IQ, was registered in Special Ed classes and is high on the suggestibility index which makes her vulnerable to manipulation. There was also no real proof of being sympathetic to the Islamic State nor any

So In the first episode of Real Newsblast I decided to cover the PA  gerrymander map that gave Republicans a 13-5 advantage in Congress.   LINK:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlVYNceis-8 It was challenged and later redrawn by their State’s Supreme Court, later the PA GOP challenged it to the US Supreme Court and it was denied a hearing. The next move seemed to just fret and accept it right? No, the next move was to bring articles of impeachment against 4 Democratic Judges that ruled to toss out the old map. After articles of impeachment were brought, the Majority Leader State Rep Dave Reed doused those concerns and while he opposes the map he believes that disagreement with a particular ruling should not be grounds for impeachment Eligibility: Abdul El Sayed Michigan I recently told everyone about Abdul El Sayed in a previous episode of Real Newsblast and I have a small update: He has went to Court to settle the eligibility question saying he had a dedicated room a

Episode 6: PA-18, Deregulation, Assassination Welcome to Real Newsblast Episode 6 Special Election, Deregulation and Assassination When PA-18’s Republican Rep Tim Murray resigned after it surfaced that he got a woman pregnant then encouraged her to have an abortion. Gov. Wolf then called a Special Election was called for March 13 th to fill the seat, Conor Lamb and Rick Saccone emerged as the candidates who would face off for a seat held by a Republican since 2003. Now the districts will be changed because of the court ordered map (I made a video about that one and I’ll link it below as well, that was my first episode of Real Newsblast) so they may not run in the same PA-18 as was drawn when the election’s results are finished and certified. The setup: Conor Lamb vs Rick Saccone, surrogates from both sides Biden for Democrats and even Trump for Republicans had a huge prize on the line here: If they keep it, it bodes well for the midterm elections. More time pas

Tax Reform Bill may have to be rewritten So, we remember when the tax scam was passed hastily? It’s infamous for the handwritten changes they made hours before it was to be passed, and it got rid of the State and Local Taxes Deduction—SALT—which disproportionately hurt higher tax/blue states. It also got rid of the deduction for teachers and supplies. It also has something about S corporations that allow a rich person to save more money, something called a pass through. So after the Kochs invested in Paul Ryan to the tune of a half million dollars (make note: Most of it was to a PAC for Republicans), we are seeing headlines that the bill may need to be rewritten. The fiscal times reports on two specific areas that will have to be fixed in the legislation The ‘Grain Glitch’: The legislation allows farmers to deduct 20 percent of their total sales to  cooperatives . “This allows farmers to deeply reduce their tax bills, but it has caused an uproar among independent agricult
