Lauren Groh-Wargo , who managed Abrams ’ unsuccessful campaign for Georgia governor in 2018 , penned an Op-Ed for The New York Times in which she made the case for Abrams to seek higher office — namely the office of vice president on a ticket with presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Groh-Wargo had to explain why Abrams did not win the election while at the same time arguing that she can bring voters to the polls .
This is a monumental task and one that Groh-Wargo twisted herself in knots doing .

It sounds like someone you would want to have on your team if driving minority votes is key to your election .

Hallmark Channel actress Jill Wagner welcomed her first baby last week, announcing the strong, patriotic name she chose for her newborn.
Wagner, 41, gave birth to a healthy daughter on April 17 at 12:36 p.m., People reported. Her husband, 44-year-old David Lemanowicz, was by her side through the ordeal.
The baby is Wagner’s first child and the second for Lemanowicz, who has a 10-year-old daughter named Lija.
The couple chose their daughter’s name to honor Lemanowicz’s time in the military, Wagner told People.
The couple shared a photo of their daughter wrapped in a flowered blanket with her name, Army Gray Lemanowicz, printed on a sign.
“She was conceived on July 4 so we wanted a patriotic name and my husband is in the military so we chose her first name to be Army,” Wagner told People.
“We thought that was a good name to honor both. Her middle name is Gray (spelled the American way, with an A) because I have always loved that name. It is strong, intelligent, soft and feminine all in one … which is what I want her to be.”
Big sister Lija is settling into her new family role nicely, Wagner said.
“Lija is loving being a big sis and all of the dogs are super curious about little Army Gray,” Wagner said. “I have a feeling Hank the farm dog is going to be super protective over her.”
Wagner kept an open heart and open mind about how her hospital experience might play out, especially in the middle of current hospital restrictions regarding visitors.

Wagner added that she now sees her husband of three years “in a whole new light” after watching him interact with their newborn.

“We actually got a decent block of sleep last night, a whole 4-hour run, which was amazing. While I know it’s hard not getting my whole 8 hours, which I love.”

Schools in the state will stay closed for the rest of the school year, but gyms, hair salons and other similar businesses will begin to reopen on Friday, Fox News reported.
“Given the favorable data, enhanced testing, and approval of our healthcare professionals, we will allow gyms, fitness centers, bowling alleys, body art studios, barbers, cosmetologists, hair designers, nail care artists, estheticians, their respective schools and massage therapists to reopen their doors this Friday,” Republican Gov. Brian Kemp said.
Kemp added that his state would also expand COVID-19 testing and hospitals had enough personal protective equipment to resume elective surgeries.
As of Tuesday, South Carolina had 4,439 cases of the coronavirus and 124 fatalities.
In a Monday executive order, Republican Gov. Henry McMaster said public beaches could be reopened for public access at the discretion of local leaders and said certain nonessential businesses could begin reopening at 5 p.m. on Monday as long as they followed social distancing measures.
The United States leads the world in the number of coronavirus fatalities, closely followed by Italy which had 24,648 fatalities as of Tuesday morning, according to data from Johns Hopkins.

As many businesses have closed due to the coronavirus, we must take a closer look at how the pandemic is affecting the church.
One major discussion that currently taking place is over whether churches should be considered “essential” and whether churchgoers should continue attending services. The question we have to ask ourselves is: At what point are these precautionary actions a violation of constitutional rights?
Many churches are able to adapt and continue to hold services online or through livestreaming, allowing us to continue worshiping within our homes. There are all kinds of apps that churches are now using to have not only Sunday services but also small groups and other events.
While it is not “necessary” to physically go to church, what about the smaller churches that may have older audiences and aren’t able to create online services for their members?
This has created a situation where churches are now offering “drive-in” services in which churchgoers remain in their cars in the church parking lot while tuning in to a low-frequency radio station to hear the service.
Why shouldn’t churches be deemed essential? If they are deemed essential, why wouldn’t they be allowed to continue in-person services? Should we still follow the guidelines set in place of no more than a certain amount of people in a set place?
Is the physical act of going to church nonessential? At what point do we see a line of separation between church and state?
While we are not being told that we cannot practice our religion, we are now seeing multiple situations in which churches have adapted to the guidelines — and yet their rights are still being stripped from them.
Easter just passed and we saw law enforcement in Greenville, Mississippi, going to church parking lots and fining churchgoers $500 each. Mayor Errick Simmons said his executive order prohibiting drive-in services was “all about trying to save lives.” Churchgoers at the service remained in their cars and had no way to violate the social distancing guidelines of staying six feet apart.

westernjournal--2020-04-21--Attorney General Barr: Some Governors Are Infringing on ‘A Constitutional Right’

Attorney General William Barr told conservative pundit Hugh Hewitt on Tuesday that some governors ’ orders in response to the coronavirus pandemic are infringing on constitutional rights .
Barr appeared on the Hugh Hewitt Show Tuesday morning to discuss stay-at-home orders and the American economy .
The radio show host asked Barr if overlapping realms of authority between the president and governors have collided during the coronavirus pandemic .
“ Well , they can be in tension , and there are potentials for collision , ” Barr said .
“ When a governor acts , especially when a governor does @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a fundamental right or a constitutional right , they ’ re bounded by that .
And those situations are emerging around the country to some extent.
” TRENDING : Every American Needs To See Trump 's 'Nancy Antoinette ' Pelosi Ad - She Could n't Care Less About Us The attorney general added that governors need to do a better job at ensuring executive orders are “ properly targeted.
” “ We do have a national economy , which is the responsibility of the federal government .
So it is possible that governors @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” he said .
“ And just where that line is drawn , you know , remains to be seen.
” President Donald Trump has clashed with a few different governors over their responses to the coronavirus pandemic .
Last week , he sent out three tweets calling to “ liberate ” Minnesota , Virginia and Michigan .
Barr told Hewitt that he thinks the president ’ s guidance for states has been “ superb ” and many governors are following it .
He added that if governors don ’ t follow @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on either civil rights or on the national commerce , ” he will “ have to address that.

Attorney General William Barr told conservative pundit Hugh Hewitt on Tuesday that some governors’ orders in response to the coronavirus pandemic are infringing on constitutional rights.
Barr appeared on the Hugh Hewitt Show Tuesday morning to discuss stay-at-home orders and the American economy.
The radio show host asked Barr if overlapping realms of authority between the president and governors have collided during the coronavirus pandemic.
“Well, they can be in tension, and there are potentials for collision,” Barr said.
“When a governor acts, especially when a governor does something at intrudes upon or infringes on a fundamental right or a constitutional right, they’re bounded by that. And those situations are emerging around the country to some extent.”
The attorney general added that governors need to do a better job at ensuring executive orders are “properly targeted.”
“We do have a national economy, which is the responsibility of the federal government. So it is possible that governors will take measures that impair interstate commerce,” he said. “And just where that line is drawn, you know, remains to be seen.”
President Donald Trump has clashed with a few different governors over their responses to the coronavirus pandemic.
Last week, he sent out three tweets calling to “liberate” Minnesota, Virginia and Michigan.
