Lieutenant Jay Baker with the Cherokee County Sheriffs Office says the 29-year-old was arrested and charged in his hometown of Canton, Georgia, on October 14, and was released the same day on a $22,000 bond, according to the A.P. Baker says the girl was under the age of 10, and a police report shows the alleged acts of molestation occurred from April until September, when it was reported by the childs parents.

Sligh appeared on the CBS soap opera in 2014 and had a recurring role as a waiter and bartender. He also created and starred in the web series All About Lizzie.

Have a surgery to go and another couple days in the hospital but should be fine soon.

Sligh later told The Wrap that he had to relearn to walk after the incident.

John Oliver: This is not "normal"�and no one should ever accept it as that

Third Parties: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)
"It is going to be too easy for things to start feeling normalespecially if you are someone who is not directly impacted by his actionsso keep reminding yourself: This is not normal ... Write it on a Post-It note and stick it on your refrigerator, hire a skywriter once a month, tattoo it on your a*s, because a Klan-backed misogynist internet troll is going to be delivering the next State of the Union address, and that is not normal. It is f****d UP."

If one had any faith left in the Washington press corps, it probably evaporated in the wake of theirbehavior since last Tuesday. Thereason? Whenpush comes to shove, they care more about their f*****g seating arrangements in the press room, being invited to dinner parties, their invitationsto inaugural b***s, and giggling it up at the next correspondents dinner than actually doing their d**n job. Thats whya senior adviser to the next leader of this country with a history of racist behavior and ties to white nationalistscan be announced,and most of the major newspapersdon"t think it"s worth mentioning on their front pages.

Coupled with the incessant message of "just give Trump a chanceand "respect the officethe mediahas latched on to,it"s as ifwere supposed to act like because Trump has the title president-elect attached to his name,hes not the same p***k hes been for the pastyear.

Duringtimes like these, it"s easy tobelieve theHouse of Cardsdepiction of the media, withreporterswilling to w***e themselves and their dignityoutto secure sources and stories.

The problem with just smiling and going along with formality is that it accepts these positions as the new normal. Itpushes the lines over to where kids can think walking around their school with a Trump sign,yelling white power! is okaywhen it should never be accepted as anything in the vicinity ofnormal. So far, thats the worstdamage of this election. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, there have been over 300 incidents of harassment and intimidation since last Tuesday.Moreover, the standards and norms of whats acceptable for someone running for president, and now becoming president, have been pushed so far that any future candidate will just point to Trump to justify horrendous conduct.

In last nights season finale ofHBOsLast Week Tonight, John Oliver lamented how horrible 2016 has been, while takingaimat the new president, media pundits,and all others who have culpability in this mess of trying to destroy the threads of common decency that hold this country together.

Secy State John Bolton? | UN Dispatch

Amb. Bolton on potentially joining Trump’s cabinet

The choice is apparently between a true radical or more traditional neocon with no diplomatic experience. Aides to President-elect Donald Trump are focusing on former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton as the leading candidates to be the next secretary of state, two people familiar with the process said. The choice between the two would force Mr. Trump to choose between Mr. Giuliani, a longtime friend and ally in New York, and Mr. Bolton, a hawkish conservative diplomat who called last year for the U.S. to bomb Iran. A final decision could be several weeks away, these people said. (WSJ http://on.wsj.com/2g9a5fl)

From COP 22 in MarrakechChina and other countries will stay committed to the Paris Agreement on climate change, irrespective of what the next U.S. administration decides to do, the outgoing U.S. climate envoy said Monday. Jonathan Pershing told reporters at U.N. climate talks in Morocco he doesnt know what President-elect Donald Trumps outlook on climate policy will be. But Pershing said his Chinese counterpart, Xie Zhenhua, told him that China intends to move ahead regardless. Of course they are going to move forward, he said. Im hearing the same from the Europeans. Im hearing the same from the Brazilians. Im hearing the same from Mexico, and from Canada, and from smaller nations like Costa Rica and from Colombia.

ICC Sets Sight on US Torture in AfghanistanThe prosecutor of the International Criminal Court said Monday that she had a reasonable basis to believe that American soldiers committed war crimes in Afghanistan, including torture. The international prosecutor has been considering whether to begin a full-fledged investigation into potential war crimes in Afghanistan for years. In Mondays announcement, the prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda, signaled that a full investigation was likely. Still, the prosecutor did not announce a final decision on an investigation, which would have to be approved by judges, and it is unlikely that the United States will cooperate.

Laura Ingraham Show 11/10/16 | There"s quite a bit that a President Trump

The Wildfire is an opinion platform and any opinions or information put forth by contributors are exclusive to them and do not represent the views of IJR.

Along with fellow conservative palsSean Hannity and Ann Coulter, Fox News contributor Laura Ingraham was an avid and vocal supporter of Donald Trump from the early days of his campaign. Now that loyalty may pay off for theauthor and radio talk show host.

Ingraham is under serious consideration to become Trump"s White House press secretary.

As reported by The Hill, Trump has appreciated Ingraham"s fiece loyalty. Not only did the founder of Lifezette campaign for The Donald, she helped him prep for debates, offered strategic advice along the way, and defended him against any and all critics.

"Shockingly," the news that Ingraham is reportedly on the inside track for the press secretary job hasn"t sat all that well with many liberals, as evidenced by Twitter.

Asource told The Hill that Ingraham is in contact with Trump"s inner circle and is interested in the job. Still, how much fun would Ann Coulter have been?

Alshon Jeffery suspended 4 games for PEDs

ALSHON JEFFERY JAW NUMBING GRAB! 200 YARD GAME | MADDEN 17 DRAFT CHAMPIONS

The Titans take on the Bears in week 12. The Bears will be without Alshon Jeffery for that game because he has been suspended for 4 games after testing positive for PEDs per Adam Schefter:

Bears WR Alshon Jeffery suspended four games for violating its PED policy.

Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) November 14, 2016

I had Jeffery in my cash game lineups on Draft Kings yesterday. His score sure didnt look like it was on PEDs yesterday. I should have gone down to Rishard Matthews and then spent up for Ezekiel Elliott, but hey, I still cashed thanks to junk time from Antonio Brown....but you dont care about my fantasy team.

Even with all of that being said, facing the Bears without Alshon Jeffery is easier than facing the Bears with Alshon Jeffery.

Dee Dee Daviswas only five when she began starring as the super adorableBryana aka Baby Girl on The Bernie Mac Show. After the series ended Davis stepped away from acting but she is still very active on social media.
