Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is seeking to overturn her disqualification from the Georgia election interference case against President-Elect Donald Trump and others.
Willis on Thursday, Jan. 9, 2024 petitioned Georgia’s Supreme Court to review a lower appeals court’s ruling that removed her from the case.
The Georgia Court of Appeals recently ruled that District Attorney Fani Willis and her office could no longer prosecute a case due to an “appearance of impropriety” stemming from her romantic relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade, whom she had appointed to lead the case. On Wednesday, Willis petitioned the Georgia Supreme Court to review and overturn that decision.
Willis’ filing argues that the 2-1 decision from the Court of Appeals “exceeded its authority,” establishing a new standard for disqualifying prosecutors and ignoring decades of legal precedent.
Even if the Supreme Court ultimately rules in Willis’ favor, it appears unlikely she will prosecute former President Trump, who is set to return to the White House on January 20. However, 14 other defendants in the case still face charges.
In her petition, Willis asks the state Supreme Court to determine whether the Court of Appeals erred in disqualifying her based solely on the “appearance of impropriety,” without evidence of an actual conflict of interest or prosecutorial misconduct. She also questions whether the appellate court overstepped by overriding the trial court’s discretion in the matter.
“No Georgia court has ever disqualified a district attorney merely for the appearance of impropriety without an actual conflict of interest,” Willis states in her filing. “And no Georgia court has ever reversed a trial court’s decision to retain a prosecutor based solely on such an appearance.”
Georgia Election Interference Case: Timeline
The investigation into alleged election interference by former President Donald Trump and his associates in Georgia has progressed through several key stages:
February 10, 2021: Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis announced the initiation of a criminal investigation into efforts by Trump and his allies to overturn Georgia’s 2020 election results.
July 19, 2022: Court documents revealed that 16 individuals identified as “fake electors” were notified of being targets in the investigation.
August 15, 2022: Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s personal attorney, was informed that he was a “target” of the probe, following his presentation of debunked election fraud claims to Georgia state lawmakers in December 2020.
November 1, 2022: The U.S. Supreme Court declined Senator Lindsey Graham’s request to block a subpoena requiring his testimony before the special grand jury, related to his post-election communications with Georgia officials.
August 14, 2023: A Fulton County grand jury indicted former President Trump and 18 others, accusing them of conspiring to overturn Georgia’s 2020 election results.
August 25, 2023: All 19 defendants surrendered at the Fulton County jail and entered not guilty pleas.
December 2024: District Attorney Fani Willis was disqualified from prosecuting the case due to an “appearance of impropriety” arising from a romantic relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade.
January 8, 2025: Willis petitioned the Georgia Supreme Court to review and overturn the disqualification decision, arguing that the Court of Appeals overstepped its authority and disregarded legal precedent.
As of January 9, 2025, the Georgia Supreme Court has not yet announced whether it will review the case.

Atlanta Falcons General Manager Terry Fontenot faced the media on Thursday, Jan. 8, 2025, days after the team lost its final game with a chance to go to the NFL playoffs.
Fontenot was asked several wide-ranging questions about the future of the franchise, which went 8-9 over season, dropping six of its last eight games.
“We understand that we let the fans down and we didn’t do enough this year and it’s disappointing. We know they deserve better,” Fontenot said at the Falcons training facility at Flowery Branch. “There’s no words I can say right now, it’s all about the results.”
Fontenot Plans To Keep Cousins As Backup QB
One of the more hot-topic questions was what he felt about Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins, who Fontenot signed for $180 million over four years.
“We are very comfortable with Kirk as the backup,” Fontenot said.
He went on to say that he would begin evaluating the assistant and position coaches “today” and that everyone would be looked at. “We’re doing everything we can this offseason to put us in position next year to win more football games and put this team in position to be a consistent winner.”
Cousins’ contract has become a sore spot for Atlanta fans and those who want the team to build from the draft and free agency.
Kirk Cousins’ Falcons Contract: A Breakdown
Kirk Cousins signed a four-year, $180 million contract with the Atlanta Falcons on March 11, 2024.
The key details of the contract include:
- Guaranteed Money: $100 million guaranteed, with a $50 million signing bonus.
- 2024 Salary: Fully guaranteed.
- 2025 Salary: Fully guaranteed at $27.5 million.
- 2026 and 2027 Roster Bonuses: $10 million due on the 5th day of the league year for each respective year.
In the 2024 season, Cousins was benched in favor of rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. after a series of underwhelming performances.
Despite this, Fontenot, has expressed comfort in retaining Cousins as a high-paid backup for the 2025 season.
Releasing Cousins before his $10 million roster bonus is due on March 12, 2025, would result in significant financial implications for the Falcons. A post-June 1 release designation could spread the cap hit over two years, potentially easing the financial burden.
As of now, the Falcons are adhering to their original plan with Cousins, keeping him under contract while exploring all available options
Head Coach Raheem Morris told fans the previous week that he was big enough to take the heat for the team’s failure to make the playoffs.
“Guys who fear failure never have success. I’m not gonna be considered that guy…,” he said. “I’ve got big shoulders. I can take the criticism. It’s fair criticism. I apologize to our fans for not getting it done, but I promise we’ll get it done soon.”

The temperatures are expected to remain in the low to mid-30s, with a 100% chance of precipitation. Preparations for potential hazardous travel conditions are advisable.
The National Weather Service said late Friday afternoon, “Forecast snowfall totals have come down areawide due to higher confidence in a transition to a wintry mix/freezing rain during the day Friday. Far north Georgia still looks to receive the most — 2-3″ inches, with locally higher amounts up to 4-5″.”
Weather models shared by Atlanta News First meteorologist Ella Dorsey showed snow in and around Atlanta beginning early Friday.
“We should get a few hours of heavy snow tomorrow morning. But the freezing rain and rain will likely wash a lot of that snow away in the afternoon,” Dorsey shared on social media.

1. Revlon ColorSilk Beautiful Color, Soft Black
Buy
Here’s what one reviewer says about Revlon ColorSilk: “I love the soft black haircolor from Revlon! It covers well, looks natural not too black, stays in for along time. After coloring it makes ur hair feel nice and healthy without damage. It work for a cheap box of haircolor. I always used Revlon hair color for along time and it works just as good as the expensive brands. I highly recommend this.”2. L’oreal Paris Hair Color Feria Multi-faceted Shimmering Permanent Coloring
Here’s what one reviewer says about L’oreal Paris Hair Color Feria: “So I’m a natural blonde who has been coloring their hair 1-2 shades lighter for about three years now. I’ve been unable to shake that brassy color even with using purple shampoo from Sephora. Cue this brand. I love it! I’m including before and after pictures!”3. Garnier Olia Bold Ammonia Free Permanent Hair Color
Buy
Here’s what one reviewer says about Garner Olia permanent hair color:”I never review products, but reading all the negative reviews here made me feel that I had to write a review. First of all, this is the best hair dye I have ever used…it is comparable to the dye they were using at Ulta when I was getting my hair professionally done, except that I’m not paying $100 an application. The dye doesn’t smell great, but it is definitely preferable to the smell of other hair dyes. I have long, light brown hair that is thin and tends to be on the drier side. I dye it black every 4-6 weeks and I love the look!”4. Arctic Fox Vegan and Cruelty-Free Semi-Permanent Hair Color Dye (8 Fl Oz, PURPLE RAIN)
Buy
Here is what one reviewer says about Artic Fox Vegan hair color dye: “I had gray/white hair I was trying to grow out, but got sick of it. So I tried this color. Smells great. Left it on 1 hour. Did a great job coloring my hair, though a little uneven in spots. We’ll see how long it lasts. I typically only wash my hair 1 x a week because I have very curly dry hair. I love it and definitely recommend.”5. Keracolor Clenditioner Color Depositing Conditioner Colorwash – Instantly Infuse Color into Hair, 15 Colors | Cruelty Free
Buy
Here’s what one reviewer says about Keracolor Clenditioner: “I know the warmth is different in each picture but I saw a huge difference. I am so happy how platinum this got my hair. I hate purple shampoos because they always leave that purple hue for a few days before you get the color you like. This works the same without the purple!!! Definitely will recommend it and will be buying more!!!”Final Word
Coloring your hair shouldn’t be a long, drawn out thing. At least, if you have some good options. Make sure you use the best hair dye for your texture.The Atlanta hair industry is one of the largest in the Southeast, with more than 8 million people getting groomed each month.

1. Curl Cream Gel by Mizani
Buy
Here’s what one Amazon reviewer says about Mizani curl cream: “This is my favorite styling product now. It doesn’t get flaky or hard and leaves my curls looking healthy and shiny! The bounce is insane, the best I’ve seen with a styling cream/gel! The consistency is more gel like than cream but is not at all like the gels of other competition.”
2. TRESemmé Hair Mousse Extra Hold
Buy
Here’s what one reviewer has to say about this product: “I was introduced to this product by a co-worker and I really want to know where it has been all my life!! I have 3c/4a/4b texture and it separates my curls PERFECTLY. Before this mousse my wash and go was never really a wash and go. I would have at least 5 steps. This has cut my styling time in half (only 15 to 20 mins) and my hair lasts for at least 3 to 4 days. When I need to refresh I re-wet my hair and add more product.”
3. Aunt Jackie’s Curl La La
Buy
Here’s what one reviewer has to say about Aunt Jackie’s Curl La La: “This stuff is amazing! Found a small jar at my local Family Dollar once but couldn’t find it again. My hair curls on its own when wet but gets a little frizzy in the back and on the sides by my face when it dries.
For best results, the hair should be wet (soaked but not dripping, like just got out of the shower wet). Use a generous amount of the product. I also apply a handful of some kind of oil (I prefer Africa’s Best) to lock in the moisture.
My hair type is 4A/4B and is very porous; my hair soaks up water (and hair product) like a sponge. Your mileage may vary, but it works great for me.”
4. Moroccanoil Curl Defining Cream
Buy
Here’s what one reviewer says about Moroccanoil Curl Defining Cream. “I love this stuff! It can be used alone (as pictured) and it will keep my curls soft and nice. If it’s humid out I still use a small amount of gel to finish it off to keep it from frizzing out but I think this is my favorite curl cream by far. I use Moroccan oil to moisturize my curls first, then this, and then gel if needed based on weather. I highly recommend this!”
5. Living proof Curl Elongator
Buy
Here’s what one reviewer says about Living proof Curl Elongator: “I have (evidently) very porous fine wavy hair. It goes splat flat in the winter and wild with frizz in the summer. Anyway, a stylist at a recent haircut recommended I try this. I’d been using gel, which was OK, but looked dry and lifeless on second day hair. Not this! It dries rapidly and while it perks up the waves, it also gives control and looks great the second day.”
6. DevaCurl CURLBOND™ Re-Coiling Split End Serum 3oz, 3 fl. oz.
Buy
Here’s what one reviewer says about DevaCurl B’Leave: “All I can say is O. M.G . Devacurl B’leavin is God sent for fine hair. I have sooo much volume on 1st day hair!!! Never ever has that happened with any of my hair products. Now I have to say that it took me 2x to use this product to get a grasp on how to use it for my fine, 3b/c curly low porosity hair. Make sure to apply in 4 sections on detangled wet hair after using a really good moisturizing conditioner or leave in because this product doesnt add much moisture alone. Once I applied the B’leavin, I smoothed in a very little bit of Ecostyler Argan oil gel on top to each section for hold, let it air dry, and the results were AMAZING!!”
7. Color Wow Dream Coat For Curly Hair
Buy
Here’s what one reviewer says about Color Wow Dream Coat For Curly Hair: “My curls have been waiting for this product! It does everything it’s supposed to do. Light weight, non sticky, doesn’t dry out my hair, no fly away frizzies, enhances my curls from shampoo to shampoo. So happy somebody finally figured out how to make the perfect product for curly hair!”
8. Shea Moisture Coconut Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie
Buy
Here’s what a reviewer says about Shea Moisture Coconut Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie: “After reading so many reviews on this product, I had to finally buy it. I was very excited because everyone was raving about this it. It’s a heavy cream, almost like a pudding or a custard consistency. It’s very moisturizing and a little goes a long way. Now, it claims that it’s good for Wash n’ goes. There, I don’t agree. I have 4b-4c hair and, while it provides moisture, it does not do a good job at defining my curls.
I paired it with the curling gel souffle and I still didn’t get a lot of definition. And I think I was just wishfully thinking, because I knew deep down that a cream couldn’t provide a lot of definition like a gel does, but I still was hoping. I think this is more for finger coils or twist outs. Its very good at taming the frizz. Or maybe if you have a looser curl pattern this cream would do a better job at defining. Now, I did do finger coils with this and I gotta say that the moisture and the softness the day after was very good. So all and all this cream is good as a styling cream to add a lot of moisture and softness, not very good at defining.”
9. Intelligent Nutrients Amplifi-hair Volumizing Conditioner
Buy
Here’s what one reviewer says about this product: “I have fine hair and lots of it. This is the only conditioner that makes brushing through it a breeze. My hair always ends up shiny and super-soft. Smells great, too. Every time I use something else (yes you, hotel “conditioner”) I remember again why I LOVE this product!”
10. DevaCurl Melt Into Moisture Treatment Mask
Buy
Here’s what one reviewer says about this product: “A few years ago I had gotten a Deva curl cut and purchased products from a salon. I loved what products did for my hair. I’ve grown up with curly frizzy hair that’s not very coarse but also not very manageable. This gel provides just enough hold for my curls to look great without making my hair super crunchy. The first time I used it I think I used too much but I was able to break apart the curls and they looked great.
“Having had time to play around with the ratio I’ve been able to achieve a look that seems effortless. I literally wash my hair with regular shampoo then flip and condition with my hair upside down and after conditioning I scrunch the gel into my hair while it’s still soaking wet and upside down. This method seems to work best for me but I also have long hair. Where I live there is not much humidity but it gets extremely hot and even with sweating my hair hasn’t frizzed back up and the gel integrity was not compromised. This is a great price for this product, in the salon I paid almost double for a smaller bottle. Will purchase again!”
Final Word
Having a full head of curly hair can be such a blessing and a curse: It’s beautiful but it can be quite unruly.
Those are some of the best products for curly hair available online. But don’t stop there…

N&T Afro Short Curly Wigs for Black Women Synthetic Hair Ombre Blonde and Brown Wig
Here’s what one reviewer says about this wig: “You have to make this wig your own. It comes with tight spiral curls. If you want it to look more like an afro, you’ll have to pick out/separate the curls a lot (use fingers). If you do this, be careful. It’s synthetic and can give you that bad frizzy look if you do too much separating.”Blonde Lace Front Human Hair Wig Deep Part Brazilian Virgin Remy Hair Bleached

Here’s what one reviewer says about Misswig: ” loved the hair. You can either wear it with the bangs or rolled to the side like I did. It’s a great option for vacation or just to change things up a bit. It’s not human hair so of course it will tangle a bit especially at the back but it is certainly worth the money.”
DÉBUT Lace Front Wig For Black Women Heat Resistant Fibers
Here’s what one reviewer says about this blonde wig: “I’m new to the whole wig-wearing scene, but I love this! Initially, I tried it on and was skeptical about how natural it would look… After a while of playing with it and trimming some bangs for a more natural hairline it is safe to say that this thing looks like it came out of my own head. Easy to fasten in the back and comfortable for everyday.”What Kinds Of Wigs Look Most Natural?
You may have apprehensions about wearing a blonde wig because it doesn’t quite match your skin tone or complexion. That’s totally understandable.
The most natural-looking wigs are typically those crafted from human hair. They should also be full lace or lace front, which blends in nicely with your natural hairline.
Can You Tell If Someone Is Wearing A Wig?
To the untrained eye, it is usually hard to tell if someone is wearing a wig, especially if the lace front or full lace is done right.
If you study where the hair parts in the crown of the head, you may be able to tell if someone is wearing a wig or not.

Best Hair Clippers For Your Money
There are others, but these are the best hair clippers your money can buy online. Many of them come with trimming sets, variations of blades and charging bases. Check them out:
1. Wahl Clipper Self-Cut Personal Haircutting Kit
Buy
Here’s what one reviewer says about these Wahl clippers: “OK my barber of many years retired, started cutting my own hair, used a cheap basic cutter now I have gotten good at it and more daring. Upgraded to this cutting system, great system with a world of difference, received a lot of compliments on my fade, highly recommend.”
2. Jack & Rose Clippers and Trimmers Set, Cordless
Buy
Here’s what one reviewer says about Wahl Clipper Elite Pro High-Performance Home Haircut: “f it matters, I cut my own hair, and have for as long as I can remember, so my feedback is from that context. I don’t cut anyone else’s hair, and I tend to cut more frequently (every 5-6 days) so that I only need minor touch-ups vs. having to commit to an entire cut.
Here’s what I like about these vs. cheaper sets I’ve used in the past:
1. Better/stronger motor. Part of why I replaced cheaper sets so often is b/c they’d eventually start pulling my hair, regardless of proper blade oiling and sharpening. I immediately felt a difference in how much smoother these cut, especially during faster movements.
2. Stronger, smoother closed & open guard adjustment – feels far more assured than what I’m used to on cheaper sets. No matter how small or large the adjustment, the gaurd stays in place once adjusted.
3. Hair Trimmers Quiet Cordless Rechargeable Hair Clippers
Buy
Here’s what one reviewer says about these Hair Trimmers: “Came fully charged. Buzzed my own head. Works great and is pretty slick. Idk why a buzzer has to say “for men” like, it’s a buzzer, we get it.”

Here’s what one reviewer says about the this Hair Clippers & Grooming Set: “The best rechargeable hair clipper ever. I buzz cut my own hair. This has power and sharp blades so I don’t have to move it slow. Charge overnight and it lasts for months (at least three) before needing a recharge.”

Check Out These DIY Tips for Cutting Your Own Hair
Cutting your own hair at home can save money and be convenient if done carefully. Here are some DIY tips to help you achieve a professional-looking haircut:
1. Gather the Right Tools
- Sharp Scissors: Use hair-cutting scissors, not regular ones, for precision.
- Comb: Helps section your hair evenly.
- Clippers: Ideal for short styles or fades.
- Hair Clips: To separate sections.
- Mirror Setup: Use a handheld and wall-mounted mirror for visibility.
- Spray Bottle: Keep your hair damp for easier cutting.
- Towel or Cape: To catch hair and keep your area clean.
2. Prepare Your Hair
- Wash and detangle your hair before starting.
- Work with slightly damp hair for better control.
3. Start Small
- Begin by trimming a little at a time; you can always cut more if needed.
- Avoid making drastic changes on your first attempt.
4. Use Sections
- Divide your hair into sections for control:
- Front
- Back
- Sides
- Secure each section with clips and work on one at a time.
5. Cut in Small, Incremental Snips
- Hold a small section of hair between your fingers and cut above your fingers or below a comb.
- For layers, point scissors vertically and cut using a “point-cutting” technique for a softer look.
6. Mirror Techniques
- Use two mirrors to see the back of your head.
- Take your time, especially when trimming hard-to-reach areas.
7. Use Clippers for Short Styles
- For buzz cuts or fades, start with a larger guard and work your way down for a shorter length.
- Move clippers in the direction of hair growth to prevent uneven cuts.
8. Clean Up the Edges
- For the neckline and sideburns, use clippers or a razor to tidy up.
- A straight edge or comb can act as a guide for sharp lines.
9. Styling Tips
- After cutting, blow-dry and style your hair to see the results.
- Make minor adjustments to even out any rough spots.
10. Watch Tutorials
- Look for video tutorials specific to your hair type and style.
Bonus Tips
- Avoid cutting too much at once—remember, hair shrinks as it dries.
- If you make a mistake, a professional stylist can usually fix it.
- Use good lighting and take breaks to prevent fatigue.
By following these tips and being patient, you can achieve a polished look at home!
