“On September 11, 2015, only hours before my mother passed away, I learned that the man I planned to build a life with was a convicted felon and con artist whose criminal career spans more than 25 years, with a special skill in swindling women,” she wrote on Instagram back in 2017.
“This man, whose name is Tony Wilson, had been sentenced in 2010 to four years in federal prison for conning investors out of $4 million and was currently out on parole.
“By searching online, I learned that Tony Wilson is a convicted felon and con artist.
By searching online, I learned that Wilson, as Brice Carrington, had falsely claimed to be a three-time ‘Oscar winner’ in sound design and had paid a jeweler to create fake Academy Award Oscar statues to lure unsuspecting investors for his sound effects business,” she added.
She continued, “Unfortunately, I learned the truth about Tony Wilson only after he conned me into investing more than $50,000 into the exact same sound effects business for which he had plead guilty, for which he had served time, and for which he was currently on parole.”

U.S. District Court Rejects DeKalb County voter purge efforts to Stop Federal Voting Rights Lawsuit, Won’t Order Dismissal Court Recognizes Claim Brought by the Georgia NAACP and the Georgia Coalition … Continued
The post DeKalb county voter purge case proceeds appeared first on Atlanta Daily World.
However, democrats believe that this effort is less about fighting voter fraud and more about enabling voter suppression and making the voting process especially difficult for black voters and other minorities.
Republicans are able to do this in part because of a 2018 federal court ruling that allows the national republican party to start campaigns against alleged voter fraud without court approval.
There was previously a ban on republican party voter-fraud operations after courts found instances of republicans intimidating or prioritizing the exclusion of minority voters, with the most recent account taking place in 2004.
The ongoing global pandemic is also having an impact on the voting process, with several democrats calling for the expansion of voting by mail and some republicans saying that doing so would invite voter fraud.
Fair Fight also believes that republican spending on alleged voter suppression will far exceed $20 million.

“Love & Hip Hop New York” reality star Yandy Smith-Harris is receiving a lot of side-eyes and questions from fans who are wondering whether she’s pregnant with her third child by husband and fellow co-star Mendeecees Harris following her recent Instagram post.
On June 26, Smith-Harris posted a dramatic shot of herself posed on a rooftop in front of a New York skyline backdrop while rocking a ruffled-sleeve red minidress and black open-toed heels as she held a hand on her stomach.
In August 2018, Smith-Harris revealed that a judge in New York granted her approval to start adopting Gilyard, and she’s been a part of the family ever since.
There was speculation that Gilyard was no longer living with Smith-Harris after Harris returned home on Jan. 29 from serving four years behind bars for drug trafficking.
Reportedly, Harris actually is living in a halfway house, and, according to an Instagram Story Smith-Harris posted earlier this year, Gilyard is still living at home.
Ambassador George E. Moose’s career in international diplomacy resulted from his spending a college summer in the 1960s building a three-room schoolhouse in Tanzania. The high point of that career came in 1983 when President Ronald Reagan nominated him to be U.S. Ambassador to Benin and later Ambassador to Senegal.
George Moose was born in New York City, New York on June 23, 1944, to Robert and Ellen Amanda Lane. Moose attended public schools in the city and then graduated from Grinnell College in Iowa in 1966.
After graduation Moose became a Foreign Service Officer in 1967. His first overseas assignment was Vietnam at the height of the Vietnam War. Moose served from 1969 to 1971, first as Refugee Program Advisor at the U.S. Embassy in Saigon and later as Political Officer at the U.S. Consulate General in Da Nang. He returned to the United States and worked for the U.S. State Department Board of Examiners from 1971 to 1972 and then served as a Political Officer at the U.S. Embassy in Bridgetown, Barbados between 1972 and 1974.
In 1974 he was assigned as a Political Analyst for Southern Africa in the State Department’s Bureau of Intelligence and Research (1974-76); then as Desk Officer for Southern Rhodesia (1976-77) and Special Advisor to the Under Secretary for Political Affairs (1977-78); followed by a term as Deputy Director of Southern African Affairs (1978-79).
From 1979 to 1980 Moose was an International Fellow with the Council on Foreign Relations and then from 1980 to 1983 he was Deputy Counselor for Political and Security Affairs at the U.S. Mission to the United Nations in New York City.
On October 7, 1983, President Ronald Reagan nominated Moose as Ambassador to Benin. After U.S. Senate confirmation he arrived in Cotonou, the capital of Benin, and presented his credentials on November 4, 1983. He completed his mission on July 7, 1986.
Returning to the United States he next served (on loan) as a member of the Policy Council for the Una Chapman Cox Foundation between 1986 and 1987 then he
