California Couple's Wedding Night Interrupted by Police Prank in Tennessee

See more of our coverage in your search results. A California couple‘s picture-perfect wedding night nearly ended in disaster.Just hours after tying the knot in Athens, Tennessee, Kara Lewis Webb and West Webb had a shocking brush with the law when they were pulled over by the police while leaving their wedding.“Within five minutes, we saw the blue and red lights flashing in the rearview mirror,” the bride told PEOPLE. “Initially, I assumed we were getting pulled over for a missing headlight or maybe an issue with our tags. But no, apparently it was much worse.”A viral video of the incident shows a law enforcement officer confronting the couple after pulling them over.“Have you ever been in California?” the officer asks. “Yes, I have,” the groom responds. “Well, have you had a speeding ticket there that you never took care of?” the cop continues. “Because I have a warrant for your arrest.”“Are you serious?” the groom asks. But the cop quickly reveals he was only kidding about the warrant.“I got jokes,” the cop says, before letting the couple off with a warning. “Be careful, slow down for me. Y’all have a good night.” Kara Lewis Webb and West Webb were pulled over by the police on the night of their Tennessee wedding. Nicole Ivanov PhotoThe video has racked up over 9 million views on Instagram.Kara, a photographer, videographer, and influencer, said the prank was believable because the couple have a California license plate, saying he “could have kept the prank going longer than he did,” and is thankful he “lightened the mood almost immediately.” “Of all the ways we could have ended our wedding night, this was certainly not one we saw coming,” Kara said. Nicole Ivanov PhotoThe couple said they’re open to taking the officer out to lunch if he’d like.“Of all the ways we could have ended our wedding night, this was certainly not one we saw coming,” Kara told PEOPLE.Despite the ordeal, the bride described the wedding as a “fairytale.” “It could not have gone more perfect, and was everything we had hoped for,” the bride said. “One thing for sure is, we will be telling this story for the rest of our lives.”Download The California Post App, follow us on social, and subscribe to our newsletters California Post News: Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, WhatsApp, LinkedInCalifornia Post Sports Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, XCalifornia Post Opinion California Post Newsletters: Sign up here!California Post App: Download here!Home delivery: Sign up here!Page Six Hollywood: Sign up here!

Abdul El-Sayed Targets MAGA Voters with Conservative Praise in New Ad New

Abdul El-Sayed Targets MAGA Voters with Conservative Praise in New Ad

Democratic Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed is making a pitch to MAGA voters in the closing stretch of one of the country's most competitive Senate races by using conservative personalities' own words to make his case.A new ad from El-Sayed, titled "Red Hat," opens with the progressive Democrat telling voters that they "agree on a lot" before cutting to clips of conservative figures praising him or criticizing his Republican opponent, former Representative Mike Rogers.The ad is set to run exclusively on Fox News and Newsmax as part of a six-figure advertising buy through Election Day, according to El-Sayed's campaign. The choice of networks puts the message directly before a conservative audience as El-Sayed makes a play for some of the voters who backed President Donald Trump in 2024.The strategy comes during a high-profile weekend in Michigan. Former President Barack Obama is due to campaign with El-Sayed in Detroit on Saturday, the first day of statewide early in-person voting, while Trump is scheduled to hold a rally in Port Huron on Sunday in support of Rogers.Newsweek reached out to Mike Rogers’ campaign and the White House for comment on El-Sayed’s ad.What Abdul El-Sayed Says in 'Red Hat' Ad"My name is Abdul El-Sayed. You might have heard a bit about me," El-Sayed says at the beginning of the spot. "The DC elites spent millions trying to blame me for things other people said. But we agree on a lot."He then rattles off positions designed to appeal to voters outside the traditional Democratic coalition."Washington is a corrupt swamp. The big corporations and elites run the show there, and it raises our costs. Release the Epstein files, and yeah, free speech is under attack, and we should Make America Healthy Again," El-Sayed says. "Stop wasting our tax dollars on overseas wars and end bad trade deals."He then turns to the conservative voices featured in the ad: "Don't wanna take my word for it? How about some folks you know a little bit better?"The montage includes Fox News host Jesse Watters saying, "You gotta respect Abdul, because he beat the machine," while political commentator Saagar Enjeti says of El-Sayed's campaign: "It's America First."Lara Trump, the president's daughter-in-law, is shown calling El-Sayed "a good-looking guy" and "a great speaker."One of the ad's most striking moments comes from former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, a once longtime supporter of Trump who has shifted into an increasingly vocal critic, who said: "I wouldn't vote for Mike Rogers at gunpoint."Other snippets feature conservative commentator Lidia Curanaj calling El-Sayed "very charismatic" and Republican Representative Nancy Mace noting that Democrats spent heavily trying to defeat him.The ad ends with El-Sayed saying: "I approve this message, because for me, it's Michigan First, and we can agree on that."...Why El-Sayed Is Targeting Trump VotersThe campaign says the six-figure buy will run exclusively on Fox News and Newsmax through Election Day on November 3, putting an appeal built around conservative rhetoric and personalities before the audiences most likely to recognize them.Campaign spokesperson Cole Wozniak said in a statement that El-Sayed was "not taking a single voter for granted" and argued that the advertising blitz was part of an attempt "to win on November 3rd.""He's gone on Fox News, he's rolled out comprehensive policy agendas with plans to deliver for MAHA voters and rural Michiganders," Wozniak said.El-Sayed's attempt to find common ground with Trump voters has been a recurring theme during the campaign. The tactic creates an unusual dynamic in a race in which El-Sayed has simultaneously attacked MAGA politics.During Wednesday's final Senate debate, El-Sayed accused Rogers of being dependent on Trump while arguing that Republican policies have increased costs."You are also embarrassed of the fact that you cannot win this race without Trump coming here and stumping for you," El-Sayed told Rogers.At another point, El-Sayed jokingly urged viewers to play "MAGA bingo" when Republicans use political buzzwords."The thing about MAGA is whenever they're talking, they are trying to distract you," he said. "They're going to use buzzwords, and I hope y'all can play bingo at home."The Republican National Committee, meanwhile, dismissed El-Sayed's outreach as an act of desperation."This ad is nothing more than a pathetic act of desperation from someone whose coalition is abandoning him left and right over his terrorist ties and extremist views," RNC National Press Secretary Natalie Baldassarre told Newsweek on Saturday. El-Sayed has denied allegations tying him to terrorist organizations.Meanwhile, in the closing weeks of his campaign, Rogers has supported the Trump administration while arguing he is willing to push back when its policies hurt Michigan.Obama Rallies With El-Sayed Before Trump's Michigan VisitThe crossover pitch lands as both parties bring two of their biggest political figures into Michigan on consecutive days.Obama is set to campaign with El-Sayed and Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, the Democratic nominee for governor, in Detroit on Saturday. The rally is scheduled for 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.It comes as Michigan begins early in-person voting and represents a closing-stretch show of Democratic unity following a bruising Senate primary.El-Sayed has previously criticized Obama's record. Days after Obama's 2012 reelection, he wrote in The Huffington Post that the result was "the rock we chose over the hard place," criticizing the administration on issues including war, civil liberties and deportations.Asked about those comments on NBC News' Meet the Press earlier this month, El-Sayed said: "I was younger, right, and I was angry about circumstances."He added: "President Obama was handed a really difficult set of circumstances, and he did his best."Trump is scheduled to campaign in Michigan on Sunday at McMorran Place in Port Huron, where he is due to speak at around 3 p.m. Rogers has Trump's endorsement.Why the Michigan Senate Race MattersThe Michigan Senate race remains highly competitive, with the Cook Political Report rating the contest a Toss Up.The seat is open because Democratic Senator Gary Peters is retiring. Republicans have not won a U.S. Senate election in Michigan since 1994, but Rogers came within fewer than 20,000 votes of Democrat Elissa Slotkin in the state's other Senate race in 2024.Trump also carried Michigan in 2024 after the state backed former President Joe Biden in 2020, underscoring its history of swinging between the parties in presidential elections.Republicans currently control the Senate 53-47. Democrats need a net gain of four seats to take control, making defending Michigan an important part of any path to a majority.Newsweek’s reporters and editors used Martyn, our AI assistant, to produce this story.

Pescheria di Peppe Di Napoli: aggredito per il prezzo delle vongole New

Pescheria di Peppe Di Napoli: aggredito per il prezzo delle vongole

Prima le rimostranze per il prezzo delle vongole, poi la discussione, quindi l'aggressione: vittima Peppe Di Napoli, il noto commerciante e ristoratore, molto popolare anche sui social, che ha dovuto ricorrere alle cure mediche per una ferita sanguinante sul collo causata da un colpo inferto con una chiave. L'episodio è avvenuto nella pescheria del quartiere Pianura, è stato ripreso dalle telecamere di sorveglianza installate all'interno del locale, nei pressi della cassa; il frame, tratto dal video, è stato pubblicato dall'avvocato del pescivendolo, Angelo Pisani. Tutto sarebbe nato per il listino prezzi della pescheria: una cliente si sarebbe lamentata quando ha saputo che le vongole venivano vendute a 30 euro al chilo. Un motivo banale, che però ha dato adito ad una discussione che ha assunto velocemente toni accesi davanti agli altri clienti e ai familiari dell'imprenditore e tiktoker. E, a quel punto, quello che nessuno si sarebbe aspettato: un uomo è intervenuto, si è scagliato contro Peppe Di Napoli e lo ha colpito al volto tenendo in mano una chiave; la ferita ha cominciato subito a sanguinare, causando panico tra i presenti. Di Napoli è stato soccorso e accompagnato al vicino ospedale "San Paolo", dove è stato medicato; i sanitari hanno escluso conseguenze di rilievo, riscontrando un lieve trauma cranico con contusioni ed escoriazioni nell'area laterocervicale e sottoclaveare destra, quindi tra collo e petto, giudicate guaribili nel giro di cinque giorni. Le registrazioni delle telecamere di sorveglianza, che mostrano tutte le fasi della discussione e dell'aggressione, sono state acquisite dalle forze dell'ordine. Per l'avvocato Pisani si è trattato di "un'aggressione gravissima che ha sconvolto Peppe e la sua famiglia: se la chiave avesse reciso un'arteria, le conseguenze sarebbero state drammatiche".

Proyecto de drenaje en Bocagrande sigue en construcción; lluvias causan inundaciones New

Proyecto de drenaje en Bocagrande sigue en construcción; lluvias causan inundaciones

El fuerte aguacero registrado este sábado en Cartagena volvió a poner bajo la lupa las inundaciones en Bocagrande y Castillogrande. Ante las inquietudes que surgieron por la acumulación de agua en estos sectores, la Alcaldía explicó que el proyecto 4 en 1 todavía está en construcción y que el sistema de bombeo definitivo no se encuentra en funcionamiento. El Distrito recordó que recientemente se habilitó el primer tramo de la obra, pero aún faltan intervenciones para completar el sistema de recolección y evacuación de aguas lluvias. Por esta razón, señaló que la evaluación integral del proyecto debe realizarse cuando todos sus componentes estén terminados y operando. La Alcaldía también cuestionó los señalamientos sobre presuntas irregularidades en el contrato o en la ejecución de los trabajos antes de que finalice la obra. En su pronunciamiento, indicó que este tipo de afirmaciones debe estar respaldado por pruebas que permitan verificar su veracidad. Lea también: Proyecto 4 en 1 en Cartagena: habilitan primer tramo en Bocagrande En el tramo habilitado de la avenida Chile, comprendido entre la tienda D1 y el edificio Porto Marine, se instalaron cerca de 190 metros de tubería para recoger las aguas lluvias, más de 400 metros de canaletas y más de 200 metros de pavimento nuevo. De acuerdo con la Alcaldía, estas intervenciones buscan recoger el agua que se acumula en las calles y conducirla hacia los puntos desde donde será evacuada mediante sistemas de bombeo. Sin embargo, la infraestructura todavía no está completa. La Administración distrital precisó que las bombas definitivas hacen parte de los trabajos pendientes y que, mientras se culminan las intervenciones, se utilizan equipos temporales para retirar el agua acumulada durante las precipitaciones. Tras el aguacero, el sector se encuentra en proceso de secado. La Alcaldía explicó que las inundaciones no dependen únicamente de la infraestructura instalada, sino también de las condiciones que coinciden durante los episodios de lluvia intensa. En el caso de hoy, uno de los factores mencionados fue la marea alta, una condición que puede dificultar la evacuación de las aguas hacia el mar. A esto se suma que algunos puntos todavía no están conectados a las nuevas tuberías, debido a que el proyecto continúa en ejecución. El Distrito también hizo un llamado a mantener limpias las alcantarillas y los canales, pues la presencia de basura y otros residuos puede obstruir el paso del agua y afectar su drenaje. Estas condiciones, de acuerdo con la explicación oficial, deben tenerse en cuenta al analizar el comportamiento del sistema durante las lluvias, mientras se completan las obras previstas. El proyecto 4 en 1 busca mejorar el manejo de las aguas lluvias en Bocagrande y Castillogrande, dos sectores de Cartagena que históricamente han registrado inundaciones cuando coinciden precipitaciones fuertes y mareas altas. Para cumplir ese propósito, el Distrito señaló que la intervención contempla tuberías, canales y sistemas de bombeo que deben funcionar de manera articulada para recoger y evacuar el agua acumulada en las vías. Son más de 2,3 kilómetros de infraestructura hidráulica para mejorar el manejo de las aguas lluvias en esta zona turística y residencial. Entre las obras previstas se encuentran colectores subterráneos, canales laterales, sumideros, válvulas de retención y cuatro estaciones de bombeo, que estarán ubicadas en Parque Navas, Coral Gables, La Concha y Punta Castillo. Le puede interesar: Megaproyecto de Control de Inundaciones: tuberías de asbesto que abastecían agua potable en Bocagrande serán reemplazadas La Alcaldía insistió en que la obra debe evaluarse una vez estén terminados y en funcionamiento todos sus componentes. Mientras tanto, el comportamiento del tramo habilitado no representa, por sí solo, una evaluación definitiva del sistema completo.
