Source: FayesVision/WENN.com / WENN Positivity… NASA Renames Facility After Katherine Johnson Finally, some good news for Black History Month. NASA took a big step this weekend and honored a STEM pioneer that was previously “hidden.” Katherine Johnson , the NASA mathematician who was played by Taraji P. Henson in “Hidden Figures” will be honored in a distinct way. NASA’s announced that they now have the Katherine Johnson Independent Verification and Facility in Fairmont, West Virginia. NASA reports that the building will be used to contribute to “to the safety and success of NASA’s highest-profile missions by assuring the software on those missions performs correctly.” “With slide rules and pencils, Katherine, a legendary NASA mathematician – and the other human computers who worked at the agency – helped our nation’s space program get off the ground, but it was their confidence, bravery and commitment to excellence that broke down racial and social barriers that continue to inspire to this day,’” said NASA about Johnson. Johnson, 100, worked for NASA for 35 years and verified the numbers to calculate the orbit for John Glenn’s Friendship 7 mission. Congrats Katherine!
For most people, going out to grab a bite of cheap food late at night is a regular habit. When 87-year-old Katherine Jackson was spotted doing it, however, it was nothing short of alarming. TMZ reports that the matriarch was spotted at a West Hollywood diner at 11pm on Wednesday night . She was seen in the company of one bodyguard and two women. That’s a long drive from her Calabasas home, particularly considering that she’s 87 years old and said to be fond of living at her home and having meals prepared by her personal chef. She’s reportedly living in a hotel near her Calabasas home. And apparently some family members worry that this is all part of a power struggle for control over Katherine herself … and, therefore, over the family’s considerable fortune. It’s horrible to think of what people will do to obtain access to and control over someone else’s money. Unlike a lot of crime dramas would have us believe, it’s very rarely about murder. In fact, when there’s an ironclad will in place, sometimes the worst thing for someone taking advantage of an elderly relative would be their death. Then they’d be left with nothing but their own inheritance. But by accessing the family fortune directly — gaining access to it with access to Katherine herself — they could have an unlimited money supply. Until Katherine has enough, that is. There may be good reason to worry about Katherine Jackson’s well-being. In addition to accusing her nephew and former driver, Trent, of emotional abuse, Katherine is said to have feared for her physical safety in retaliation for finally parting ways with him. But even out of Trent’s clutches, there may be others who are looking to take advantage of her and in particular to keep her away from her grandchildren. She’s been away from grandson Blanket so much recently that his sister Paris is reportedly concerned. It may be that other Jackson relatives are taking her under their proverbial wings and literal influence. They could be keeping her isolated and in some ways dependent on her. An 11pm visit to a diner isn’t a standard pit-stop for Katherine, but it’s possible that she isn’t calling the shots in her life anymore. But before we ring any alarm bells, we need to look at other possible explanations. First of all, 87-year-olds can absolutely stay up until midnight or later. They can also have food cravings — and even women who like formal meals might get the occasional hankering for something simple and greasy. The guard with her might be entirely her doing. After all, she’s a wealthy woman and she at one point stated that she was afraid that Trent would come after her. A bodyguard would help with that. Trent had complete access to her house and she might very realistically fear that he could still get in. She might also worry that he’s left monitoring devices behind. Sounds like a great reason to stay somewhere else to us. Ultimately, we’ll see, and just because we can think of alternative theories doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t be concerned for Katherine Jackson’s well-being. Anybody who loves their grandmother wouldn’t want to think of her in this kind of situation.

Katherine Heigl is as doughy, boring, played out as any almost 40 year old mom…rocking that mom body…even though she didn’t have a kid herself, but rather adopted one from Korea and the USA, because Katherine Heigl has had a doughy, boring, played out mom body since she was in her mid 20s. I never understood why anyone was interested in her, or thought she was anything magical, but I guess she’s rich and was on TV and at least one movie, so that increases her stock value. It’s like “why’s that dude with a doughy mom body with two adopted babies thanks to her being infertile”….”oh she’s from Grey’s Anatomy and 40 year old Virgin and like all doughy mom bodies, has big tits”…..”Makes sense”. Here she is having her white dress eat her ass… TO SEE THE REST OF THE PICS CLICK HERE The post Katherine Heigl’s Horrible Ass Eating a White Dress of the Day appeared first on DrunkenStepfather .
The great thing about watching Planet Earth is that you, an adult, are secretly learning things without the stunning difficulty of actually trying to learn something. The bad thing about watching Planet Earth is that you, extremely stoned, don’t retain any of it. Well, good news, blurry face. I’ve watched every single episode of the… Read more »

Here is something you almost never see: A television network admonishing a Presidential candidate. In the wake of Donald Trump announcing he’s running for the highest office in the land, however, NBC has felt a need to distance itself from The Celebrity Apprentice host. “Donald Trump’s opinions do not represent those of NBC, and we do not agree with his positions on a number of issues, including his recent comments on immigration,” the network said on Thursday. This statement comes on the heels of Univision confirming it is dropping Trump and NBC Universal’s co-produced Miss USA pageant due to the candidate’s recent remarks. Among Trump’s more controversial/totally insane quotes? He said at a press conference this month that Mexico is “sending [America] people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. “They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists.” In response, J Balvin pulled out of performing at the Miss USA Pageant, while Roselyn Sanchez has now pulled out of hosting the event. On Facebook, the actress says she will “not tolerate the so disrespectful and hurtful words out of the mouth of Mr. Trump.” View Slideshow: Donald Trump Announces Presidential Run; Twitter Reacts! On Thursday, meanwhile, Trump defended himself on Twitter. He also declared he’s going to sue Univision for violating its contract. “Univision wants to back out of signed @MissUniverse contract because I exposed the terrible trade deals that the U.S. makes with Mexico” and “Mexican gov doesn’t want me talking about terrible border situation & horrible trade deals. “Forcing Univision to get me to stop—no way!” Ummm… Vote Trump?
