A 37-year old woman from Lake Charles, Louisiana is done trying to hid her skin. She is literally embracing it.
Iomikoe Johnson, 37 first noticed a spot on her skin at age 25. She thought it was a minor injury but it soon started spreading. The disease was called vitiligo and it was turning her skin completely white.
At some point in her life, she wanted to commit suicide. But after talking to her family and getting endorsement from her fiance and daughter, she said it time to embrace her beauty.
As we are closing out the month of February, I want to take a moment to say that Black History Month is pathetic. To honor Black history in a mere 28 days (29 on a leap year), is not really a dedication to all the achievements of Black America.
Black history is everyday. And no one can limit that to a fucking month.
Okay, Iomikoe is getting a modeling deal and she is basically getting endorsements from many women of color.
Iomikoe grateful for skin. She saw her body progress throughout the years.
Now she is planning on bring awareness to vitiligo and telling women of color, that it's okay to be different. Iomikoe is telling the world that she is beautiful and proud in her skin.
We were at Journal de la Reyna wish her well and hope to see her in future postings and future endeavors.
Proud Boy from Ohio hit with assault charges and will face possible hate crime charges after he called a Black woman a NIGGER and then sucker punched her.
He served her a hot plate of knuckle style chili.
The victim, Cameron Morgan, 23 was called a fucking NIGGER botch and within seconds of that, the white extremist served her a hot plate. It split her lip and caused a chipped tooth.
"I'm the only Black person around. I didn't know who was talking to, but he was calling white people a slur. I was like, 'who talks like that? You can't say that. This is not okay.' We were in the most friendly neighborhood in Akron and he was like screaming, all these racial slurs. I was looking at him, he just made eye contact with me, and started calling me a racial slur. And then just literally punch me in the face," said Morgan to local junk food media.
The woman suffered a concussion.
She filed a police report and the suspect is being criminally charged.
He is charged with possessing a firearm while intoxicated and assault after an incident outside an Akron bar where the video was captured.
The incident happened in Akron and it has the police and Summit County Sheriff's department concern.
Ohio has become a hub to white nationalism. About 145 suspects in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol came from Ohio. Many of these folks are white extremists.
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Capitol rioter kills himself as he was being sentenced.
Instead of taking responsibility for participating in an insurrection against the United States, one white extremist rather takes his own life. He was scheduled for a sentencing after pleading guilty for illegally entering the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
Matthew Perna, 37, took his own life and died February 25, according to investigators. Perna pleaded guilty in December to entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds, obstruction of an official proceeding and aiding and abetting, disorderly and disruptive conduct on a restricted building or grounds and disorderly conduct in a Capitol building.
Perna was inside the Capitol building for 20 minutes and posted video of his actions to social media, according to prosecutors. He later claimed that he was pushed inside the Capitol building by the rioting mob.
An obituary posted online blames his prosecution for his suicide.
“He attended the rally on January 6, 2021, to peacefully stand up for his beliefs. After learning that the FBI was looking for him, he immediately turned himself in. He entered the Capitol through a previously opened door (he did not break in as was reported) where he was ushered in by police. He didn’t break, touch, or steal anything. He did not harm anyone, as he stayed within the velvet ropes taking pictures. For this act, he has been persecuted by many members of his community, friends, relatives, and people who had never met him. Many people were quietly supportive, and Matt was truly grateful for them. The constant delays in hearings and postponements dragged out for over a year. Because of this, Matt’s heart broke and his spirit died, and many people are responsible for the pain he endured. Matt did not have a hateful bone in his body. He embraced people of all races, income brackets, and beliefs, never once berating anyone for having different views.” the obituary read.
He was scheduled to be sentenced on April 1.
Rioter was spotted on camera. He was arrested shortly after.
Again, these actions committed by the suspect were innocence until proven guilty. The stress of having his once clean cut life being tarnished must have been a lot. But it's no excuse for the actions.
I don't feel sorry for him. I feel sorry for his family.

A trucker protest is expected to make it to Washington, DC.
The far-right trucker convoys are coming to Washington, DC. But are the protesting vaccine mandates, socialism, transgender children playing sports, inflation, gas prices, the election, Justin Trudeau or Joe Biden?
What is in the hodge podge of truckers coming to interrupt the Washington, DC metro area?
The feds are monitoring an extremist group's protest ahead of the president's State of the Union address.
This group, The People's Convoy has become a theme after the Freedom Truckers plotted to stop travel across the Ambassador Bridge and block downtown Ottawa streets.
The Canadian authorities managed to break up the three week rally which attempted to harm Canadian and American economies. They claimed the reasons for the protests were because of the COVID mandates.
The People's Convoy is expected to be in town on March 5. The group left Adelanto Stadium, CA on the morning of Feb. 23 and is expected to make stops in eight cities before arriving in Hagerstown, Maryland on the evening of March 4.
"It’s time for elected officials to work with the blue-collar and white-collar workers of America and restore accountability and liberty –by lifting all mandates and ending the state of emergency – as COVID is well-in-hand now, and Americans need to get back to work in a free and unrestricted manner," the group said in a press release.
The Department of Defense approved that request late Tuesday night, allotting 700 National Guard troops for service to this matter. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin approved the request Tuesday from the District of Columbia government and the U.S. Capitol Police, the Pentagon said in a statement Tuesday night.
Guard members will not carry guns, the Pentagon said.
Officials have set roadblocks and barriers up around the Capitol, using garbage and dump trucks to block several intersections.
DC Police Chief Robert Contee also spoke last week about the potential for a trucker protest in the District.
"I mean, you think about the impact of this, on I-95 a couple of weeks ago, a snowstorm with two or three tractor-trailers made for a terrible situation there," Contee said, referring to January's weather-related shutdown of I-95 in Virginia. "So we're going to plan as best we can, work with our partners, both local and federal, to do whatever we can to mitigate it."
Conspiracy convoys are the newest attempt to undermine Biden.
"We'll be informing the public as we get closer to that time, with recommendations," Chief Contee said last week. "I think we have to be realistic about what we could potentially see. Will there be disruptions to traffic, that kind of thing. And I think we need to be candid with the public about what some of the expectations are based upon what we've seen in Ottawa, what we might see here in the District.”
Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) says she will meet with USCP Chief Tom Manger to discuss security preparations for the truck convoys Wednesday.
The Department of Defense released the following statement Wednesday morning:
"The Secretary of Defense has approved the provision of 400 District of Columbia National Guard (DCNG) personnel and 50 vehicles to support the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia at designated traffic posts.
This support was requested by the DC Homeland Security and Emergency Management Agency for DoD. DCNG personnel will be prepared to assist Metropolitan Police officers at traffic posts as soon as operationally and logistically feasible through March 7, 2022.
MAGA/Proud Boy rapper Forgiato Blow will be there.
The Secretary of Defense also approved the provision of up to 300 National Guard personnel from neighboring states to support the United States Capitol Police (USCP) officers with traffic control operations at designated perimeter posts.
This support was requested by the USCP. National Guard personnel from neighboring states will be prepared to assist USCP officers as soon as operationally and logistically feasible through March 7, 2022.
The National Guard personnel will be in Title 32 duty status for both requests (i.e., Federal pay status). DC National Guard personnel will remain under the command and control of the Commanding General of the DCNG and the Secretary of the Army. The Commanding General of the DC National Guard will serve as the coordinating official for State National Guard personnel supporting the USCP, who will remain under command and control of their respective Governors.
Supporting members of the National Guard will not be issued firearms and they will not engage in the surveillance of U.S. or foreign persons, although they are authorized to report any observed criminal activity to appropriate law enforcement personnel. Although participating service members will conduct traffic control, they will not affect arrests or conduct other such law enforcement activities. The Metropolitan Police Department and the USCP are responsible for conducting searches, seizures, and arrests within their respective jurisdictions. National Guard personnel will adhere to the DC National Guard rules for the use of force.”
Rapper Snootie Wild died Saturday at a hospital in Houston after police said he was found shot in the neck while next to an SUV in a ditch.
Snootie Wild was a member signed to Yo Gotti's Collective Music Group and Epic Records.
Police said a man identified as LePreston Porter, also known by his stage name Snootie Wild, was found shot last Friday morning along England Street near Alice.
First responders performed CPR on Porter at the scene before he was rushed to a nearby hospital in critical condition. On Sunday, police said the 36-year-old had died from his injuries.
In an update, HPD said a woman reported it was her vehicle that ended up in the ditch on Alice Street. According to HPD, she told officers people stopped to assist her and that's when Porter showed up and pointed a gun at her.
Meredith said she met the rapper from Memphis in New Orleans. They had moved to Houston and been living in the city for three years. Meredith told us Porter did not have any enemies so she has no idea who would have shot him.
She said they have a 3-year-old together, but the rapper leaves behind a total of five children.
Porter had performed alongside other artists like Yo Gotti.
Who are the real victims of gun violence?
Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. Gun violence and COVID-19 will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how gun reform is taking away your rights to own firearms.
I don't want to hear that protesting against police killing people of color is hate on cops in general. I don't want to hear talk about the coronavirus being a myth. When you hear folks say "gun rights," what they really mean is that its white privilege.
I don't want to hear folks say masks and vaccine mandates impede their freedoms. It prevents a deadly outbreak from spreading. If you want to die from the coronavirus, that's on you.
I don't want to hear the shit about guns saving lives. Cause a bullet does not have eyes and it's always likely gonna hit a target. These folks seem to not get it. These incidents are a tragic part of American history.
The website Officer Down is a memorial to those who were killed in the line of duty. Those who don't get their names mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE PROBLEM IN THE UNITED STATES!
Fox reporter says that her job is to report the news not spread misinformation.
Fox reporter admits that it's frustrating having to correct the agitators.
Jennifer Griffin talks to Fox's Mediabuzz about how she has to be factual when covering the Russian
When she spoke to Karen Kurtz, she said that she is working hard to disspell Russian misinformation and analyzing the U.S. response to the Ukraine situation. When asked about the agitators here in the United States downplaying the threat Russia lhad, she said that the reporting and White House response was pretty accurate.
"From a reporter's position, I've gone back and looked at those notes, and I've been pretty amazed at how -- other than one issue, I would say, the whole issue. They did expect [Vladimir Putin] to use a massive electronic warfare and cyber attack in the beginning to blind the country. That did not happen, but it is still within his arsenal, and the way it's been explained to us is that by outing some of that intelligence, it maybe caused him to shift some of his plans."
Putin has been sanctioned by the United States, European Union and the United Nations.
Putin, the current president (dictator) of the Russian Federation has declared war on Ukraine. It was widely condemned by world leaders.
Washed Up 45 and some of his minions back Putin's aggressive approach. At CPAC, the former president revealed yet again the election was stolen from him. He also noted that he will someday discuss what he talked to Putin about. The infamous Helsinki event where Washed Up 45, his interrupter and Putin and his interrupter had a one on one without anyone else being present.
The former president says he and Putin get along just fine. He blasted President Joe Biden for being according to him and many white nationalist Republicans, "weak" and being "laughed at."
Biden had rounded up a coalition to ultimately push for sanctions on Russian finances, oligarchs and Putin himself. They are close to pulling Russia out of the SWIFT program. That could seriously damage the economy of Russia.
Putin stopped short of declaring an all-out war. He said that if NATO interferes in the "special operation" he said that all bets are off and he could use nuclear weapons.
Stopping short of how Fox covered the matter, the network is devoted to "owning the libs" and making sure that every culture war is being placed on the feet of Biden.
Kurtz would later ask Griffin about how Biden is doing as president in this crisis. He asked about why Biden is not willing to send troops to Ukraine. I think it was his attempt to paint Biden as tepid and weak.
She shot down the assertion.
"I don't think so," Griffin answered. She said that U.S. intelligence became aware of Russia's possible invasion threat months ago, and "they began working behind the scenes to come up with a strategic plan that did not end up with NATO, the U.S. and Russia --- all nuclear powers --- in a war."
When Kurtz asked her about the agitators throwing opinion into the matter she said that she is only here for the honest facts.
"My role is no different than it's been since I joined Fox in 1996 in Moscow."
Russia Today is a Russian-state controlled international television network funded by the tax budge of the Russian Federation. It operates pay television for free-to-air channels directed to audiences outside Russia, as well as providing content in English, Spanish, French, German, Arabic and Russian.
The network founded by Russian oligarchs Alexey Gromov and Mikhail Lesin.
The networks include RT (Russia Today), RT America which based in Washington, DC, RT France, RT UK, RT DE (German), RT en Espanol, RT Arabic, RT Documentaries and Ruptly (Redfish and Maffick).
In the United States it must register as a foreign agent. The Foreign Agents Registration Act requires agents of foreign principles who are engaged in political activities or advocacy work on behalf of foreign interests to register with the Department of Justice and disclose their relationship, activities and related financial compensation.
The Biden accuser is an Op-Ed columnist for RT.
Yes, the lady who claimed Joe Biden had digitally penetrated her in the U.S. Capitol over 30 years ago at the peak of him capturing the Democratic nomination. An accusation that could have been brought up when he was running for president in 2008, running for U.S. Senate all these times, being the running mate for Barack Obama, and running as vice president in 2012. This woman decides to pick the one time when he runs for president in 2015-16 to claim at first he was playing with her hair and saying it wasn't that sexual to now saying he raped her in the U.S. Capital.
A woman who allegedly stole from a mare rescue, sued her boyfriend, sued her ex-husband, claiming that she was an aide to the senator (not a staff assistant as she previously held), only showing her badge working for Leon Panetta, and saying that she loves Russia with all her heart.
They give this woman attention. This crazy sack of shit claims Biden raped her but wears "Who's Your Vladdy?" shirt.
This woman who blocks critics, slanders her former friends, has an excuse for everything is practically rooting for Vladimir Putin, the Russian military and calling the invasion of Ukraine a product of now President Joe Biden's war against Russia.
Biden has a hands off approach to handling situations. He had issued harsh sanctions against the Russian Federation and went as far to hurt the pockets of the Russian Federation's longtime president (dictator) Putin.
One of those sanctions will aim at Russian billionaires, media executives, lawmakers and diplomats.
Last Wednesday, the Russian forces advanced into Ukraine. It had led to widespread condemnation.
Ukraine's president, former actor and comedian turned politician Volodymyr Zelenskyy had ignored the threats at first, but when it became clear that Putin's message that he declared two Russian back provinces as independent nations, it was soon revealed that the military had advanced its forces.
The United States had asked for Zelenskyy to evacuate, but the leader vows to stay and fight against the Russians. The junk food media claims that Russian forces are slowly moving towards Kyiv and they are threatening to use deadlier force.
To prevent Russians for access the news about Ukraine, they will no longer be allowed to get it from RT.
RT is being blocked from earning revenue by Facebook (Meta) and YouTube. Other Russian channels are also being blocked from earnings and showing propaganda.
So it appears that Tara Reade won't collect a check because of RT's revenue being halted. That means that RT can no longer earn a profit for Lee Camp, Katie Halper, Rick Sanchez, Dennis Miller, Jesse Ventura and Scottie Nell Hughes are not getting paid. They should register as agents of the Russian Federation.
But who am I to tell grown ass adults what to do?
The feds are responsible for dealing with operatives who are foreign agents.
The attempt for the Northside neighborhoods to breakaway to form the City of Buckhead, Georgia failed. The city of Atlanta faced pressure from white nationalist residents upset over a rise in crime and "wokeism."
Republicans thought they could create a city from Atlanta's financial and entertainment district. It failed for now. The new mayor is now determined to keep Atlanta a hub of culture, friendliness and the jewel of the South.
A civil war is brewing within the Republican Party of Georgia.
Georgia’s Speaker of the House, Karen Ralston, basically killed the bill in the legislature Friday.
Lt. Gov. Karen Duncan came down officially against Buckhead cityhood. He said that the new mayor has thrown down initiatives that could improve the city and drive crime down. Duncan didn't want to admit it but he said that it will hurt Republicans in the Midterms. Atlanta is a majority Black city.
Over 65% of the residents are Black.
Buckhead's residents are predominately white.
So if it was incorporated as a city, it would have 70% white majority.
NEW!
President Donald J. Trump:
“What is happening in the City of Atlanta is nothing short of disgraceful. It’s national news and a regional embarrassment. The good people of Buckhead don’t want to be a part of defunding the police and the high crime that’s plaguing their… pic.twitter.com/6NrAB1fTvQ
So this is how you know the city of Buckhead proposal is a huge Republican-back racist proposal to cause more white flight and fear mongering over “increased crime” which is complete bullshit. https://t.co/Ug8zGUXNUR
Here are the highlights from this week: ✅ A new Trafalgar poll signals an overwhelming majority, 75% of likely GOP primary election voters, favor Buckhead residents' right to vote on cityhood in November.
The Black voters are not going to allow their city to be broken up.
Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens released a statement, saying:
“Since taking office I have said, repeatedly, that we will remain one city with one bright future. I am thankful for the support of Lt. Governor Geoff Duncan, Speaker David Ralston, members of the Atlanta delegation and all the other state leaders who have sat down with me. They have given me and my administration the runway we need to take off, and we will continue in our work to move Atlanta forward.”
White nationalist vows to make Buckhead a city.
A gay white nationalist named Karen White, the leader of the Buckhead cityhood movement, promised to flood the halls of the state Capitol with his supporters.
It also was noted that he peddled in conspiracy theories and shared racist tweets on social media. It kind of made the whole movement seem like a racist. But not deterred, the racist reacted to Buckhead not becoming a city.
“We will be deploy(ing) down to the state Capitol starting this Monday, speaking with legislators, explaining our position and asking them to give us the right to vote,” White said.
White and others insisted they were motivated by rampant crime in the Buckhead community.
Ralston acknowledged crime remains a top issue in the city and Buckhead in particular. He said Dickens should have time to try and reign it in, but also issued a warning.
“We’ll be back next year if things haven’t changed a lot. So I’m looking for some forceful, vigorous action on the part of the city to tackle that problem,” Ralston said.
The Buckhead City movement said it plans to hold a news conference next week to discuss their next steps.
Washed Up 45 is speaking at the 2022 CPAC event in Orlando, Florida. He along with a hodge podge of white nationalists and enablers of color will gather at this luxury hotel to preach conspiracy theories and bullshit.
What bugs me is the fact they have the audacity to call Democrats and progressives, elitists. Those wanting to see the former president speak are paying $300 for a ticket for this event. They are spending thousands of dollars to listen to the "greatest hits" of fearmongering and culture war nonsense.
Before she was to speak at CPAC. Rep. Idiot Karen Greene (R-GA) spoke at the America First Political Action Conference. The conference also include enabler Michelle Malkin and a handful of rejects from social media who were banned from CPAC. Malkin was banned from CPAC.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: - I don’t know Nick Fuentes, never heard him speak, never seen a video - I went to his event last night to address his very large following about America First - Vladimir Putin invading Ukraine is all Joe Biden’s fault
I’m also not going to turn down the opportunity to speak to 1,200 young America First patriots because of a few off-color remarks by another speaker, even if I find those remarks unsavory.
The white nationalist lawmaker appears among her kind. Her kind of people.
Greene on Saturday defended her decision to speak at an event organized by alt-right figure Karen Fuentes, claiming she didn't know anything about him or his views when she decided to speak there on Friday.
The GOP lawmaker on Friday night made a surprise appearance at a far-right conference organized by Fuentes, who is known for statements questioning the existence of the Holocaust, criticizing interracial marriage, and praising Jim Crow-era segregation.
"Well, hello canceled Americans," Greene said at the event, called the American First Political Action Conference, according to a video of her remarks.
She told attendees she was "thrilled to be here tonight and I'll tell you why, I think I need to talk to you about who I am, what I see as the future of our country, and the future for all of you."
In a video posted by CBS News reporter Robert Costa, Greene at CPAC on Saturday addressed and defended her appearance Saturday.
Washed Up 45 speaks at CPAC.
"I have got to get to the airport, but I'm glad to talk to you about this," she said, adding: "I do not know Nick Fuentes. I've never heard him speak. I've never seen a video. I don't know what his views are, so I'm not aligned with anything that may be controversial."
Greene said she went to the event to "address his very large following," which she called "very young."
"It's a generation I'm extremely concerned about it," she said, adding that she wanted to talk about "America First policies" and what's "important for our country going forward.
Greene quickly pivoted, saying she rebuked the actions of Russian President Vladimir Putin in his unprovoked attack this week on Ukraine and criticizing President Joe Biden, calling him "weak" and blaming the unrest in Ukraine on his leadership.
Greene appeared flustered when the reporter pushed back on Fuentes, asking if she endorsed his views.
"I don't know what his views are," the conservative lawmaker said.
"He's a white nationalist," the reporter responded.
As Insider previously reported, the Anti-Defamation League previously deemed Fuentes a "well-known white supremacist pundit and organizer."
"I do not endorse those views," Green said on Saturday. "The reason why I went was to talk to the audience. Just like I've talked to many different audiences. I've talked to Democratic union workers earlier this week. I talked here at CPAC. I talked to his people who were there.
She added: "It wasn't an alignment. It was to talk about getting everyone together to save our country," she said before she left and refused to answer further questions.
Today is the 10 year anniversary of the tragic shooting of Trayvon Martin.
All the key players in this incident include, Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman, former Florida governor Jeb Bush, former president Barack Obama, former Republican presidential nominee now senator Mitt Romney of Utah, Matt Drudge, Sean "Softball" Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, former governor now senator Rick Scott of Florida, Benjamin Crump, Sybrina Fulton, Tracy Martin and Black Lives Matter.
The fatal incident happened on Feb. 26, 2012.
The 17-year old Martin was leaving a 7 Eleven in Sanford, Florida. He was heading to The Retreat at Twin Lakes after purchasing food for himself and family members. His father and his fiance were stating at the complex. Zimmerman who was a volunteer community watch organizer who called the Sanford Police on the reports of a suspicious person. The dispatcher told him to not confront Martin. Apparently, Zimmerman didn't care or thought it was his right to do so.
An altercation happened between the two and Zimmerman shot Martin in the chest.
Zimmerman claimed that he used self defense and followed the "Stand Your Ground" laws that Florida passed in during Bush's term as governor. He did sustained injuries to his face but it was minor injuries compared to him shooting a teen in the chest. The law said that if the shooter felt a reasonable threat was imminent, the shooter was justified in shooting the aggressor. The police didn't arrest Zimmerman.
The shooting sparked outrage and condemnation of the Florida law. It took weeks before they criminally charged Zimmerman for second-degree murder.
It launched a protest movement called Black Lives Matter. It also led Fox to an all out war against Martin, his lawyer Ben Crump, his parents and the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama.
The incident was classified as racism at its finest. A man who was armed shot an unarmed teenager.
Had it been Martin been the shooter, they would have criminally charged him and convicted him.
Martin's death touched Obama. He famously said the quote: "If I had a son, it would be like Trayvon."
That statement resonated with Black America who felt that Zimmerman beliefs were factors to his confrontation against Martin.
Of course, the words sparked a culture war. The far-right was determined to paint Zimmerman as a hero and Martin as a "wannabe gangsta" and "violent thug."
Fox led the charge in bringing allegations against Martin, defending Zimmerman and boosting Republican candidates like Mitt Romney to denounce the shooting as a "rush to judgement."
Sean "Softball" Hannity is the most infamous player in this. He along with Bill O'Reilly, Matt Drudge and the late Rush Limbaugh had spent a majority of the controversy denouncing Obama and saying that the world needed more people like Zimmerman.
Zimmerman would eventually be found not guilty in the trial. He managed to escape a 15-year to LIFE sentence. Since he was acquitted of the murder, Zimmerman managed to be a complete troll. He was save a person's life, he was arrested for domestic abuse, he was shot at and threatened by those who figured out who he is.
Zimmerman became the country's most hated man. That title now goes to Kyle Rittenhouse. Both escaped murder charges and continue to be in the spotlight despite no one wanting them ever to be seen again.
Zimmerman was permanently banned on social media like former president Donald J. Trump (aka Washed Up 45).
This 10 years, Trayvon Martin would have turned 27 this year. Zimmerman took away his life for no fucking reason. He choose to confront the young teen instead of letting the police handle the matter.
Rest in power Trayvon.
If there's a hell, I hope they'll have these evil souls George Zimmerman, Kyle Rittenhouse Betty Jo Shelby and Kim Potter resting.
