YOU'RE TRYING TO SEDUCE ME

Then, this week, the mother of three was charged with sexually assaulting a 15-year-old. Brandy Zadrozny reports on the downfall of the aspiring nutrition and lifestyle guru.
SSSHHHH

In an attempt to find common ground against ISIS and push for a nuclear deal, President Barack Obama secretly wrote to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in the middle of October. Obama reportedly wrote that U.S. cooperation with Iran on ISIS was contingent on Iran working out a deal with global powers on its nuclear program by the Nov. 24 deadline. This would be the fourth time Obama has written to Iran's religious leader since he took office.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The U.S. general in charge of fighting ISIS pegged their core members at 9,000 during a Thursday briefing, Tim Mak reports. Recently the CIA said there may be 30,000 men at the core of ISIS. "Without having the human intelligence on the ground to confirm or deny, it's very difficult," Gen. Lloyd Austin said.
BATTLEZONE

His allies are Prince William and Leonardo DiCaprio, but his enemies may be stronger.

In a ceremony at the White House on Thursday, President Obama posthumously awarded a veteran of the Civil War the Congressional Medal of Honor. Union Army 1st Lt. Alonzo H. Cushing was killed in the Battle of Gettysburg. During his speech, Obama noted that Cushing famously declared that he would "fight it out or die in the attack" as Confederates advanced on him and his men. Normally, recommendations of the medal must be made within two years of an act of heroism, but in Cushing's case Congress granted an exemption. Cushing was wounded in the stomach, right shoulder, and burned his fingers to the bone using his gun before being shot and killed. His small unit held its ground under heavy artillery fire and in the face of 13,000 advancing Confederate infantrymen.
