SPRING HILL, Tenn. (WKRN) — A "ghost of the forest" as some call it, an albino deer, was spotted wandering a property in Spring Hill, Tennessee, twice this week."It honestly was such a surreal kind of almost like mystical experience," Abbey Cabler explained.Her husband first spotted the deer in the early morning hours of Tuesday, Oct. 24. Why do people add ‘s’ to the end of store names? "All of a sudden I hear my husband go, 'Oh my gosh babe! Get out here now,' like kind of freaking out, kind of panicky, and I run out there and he goes, 'There is a white deer. I swear.' And we look out the window and sure enough there he is: just kind of like right on the other side of our porch, closer to the tree line just eating away on the bushes," she explained.They were captivated by the snow-white deer, snapping a couple of photos and a short video before it ran off. His statuesque stature and muscles are a spectacle to watch. Cabler described it as being like a scene out of a Christmas mov...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:11:00 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Former Vice President Mike Pence on Saturday dropped his bid for the Republican presidential nomination, ending his campaign for the White House after struggling to raise money and gain traction in the polls.“It’s become clear to me: This is not my time," Pence said at the Republican Jewish Coalition’s annual gathering in Las Vegas. “So after much prayer and deliberation, I have decided to suspend my campaign for president effective today.”“We always knew this would be an uphill battle, but I have no regrets,” Pence went on to tell the friendly audience, which reacted with audible surprise to the announcement and gave him multiple standing ovations.Pence is the first major candidate to leave a race that has been dominated by his former boss-turned-rival, Donald Trump, and his struggles underscore just how much Trump has transformed the party.
