Source: FayesVision/WENN.com / WENN NASA’s “Hidden Figures Receiving Congressional Gold Medals The exceptional history-making black women who were highlighted in the film “Hidden Figures” are getting their just due. Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson will be honored with Congressional Gold medals. Vaughan and Jackson will receive their honor posthumously while Johnson, 101, could possibly accept in person. The news comes from ABC who reports that Trump signed into law H.R. 1396, the “Hidden Figures Congressional Gold Medal Act” for the women who made history at NASA and were vital in preparing astronaut John Glenn’s orbital mission. Johnson, a mathematician, was previously awarded The Presidential Medal of Freedom and NASA honored her with The Katherine Jonson Computational Research Facility in Hampton, Virginia. A limited-edition Barbie Doll was also recently created in Katherine Johnson’s honor. Congratulations to these forever trailblazers!
There are many words you could use to describe Ronnie Ortiz-Magro of Jersey Shore fame — but “subtle” is not one of them. Say what you will about the guy, Ron always speaks his mind. Unfortunately, his mind keeps changing, which can make it tough to figure out where Rahn stands, particularly with regard to Jen Harley. These days, Ron and Jen are finally broken up for good (we hope). But if you thought that would be the end of the drama, you don’t know Ron and Jen. Currently, Magro is facing six years in prison for his alleged assault against Harley. You would think with all that going on, dude would just keep a low profile, wait for his day in court, and hope for the best. But that’s not Ronnie’s M.O. No, Magro is still sharing his insights on social media, and it appears Harley is still very much on his mind. “I forgive you but stay the f–k out of my life,” reads a meme that Ronnie posted on his account over the weekend. “Everyone say it with me,” he captioned the post. For most couples, that would be a sign that the relationship is well and truly over. But Ron and Jen have always thrived on drama. So does the fact that Magro is once again posting about Harley mean that he’s hoping for a reconciliation? Thankfully, that doesn’t appear to be the case. “They are broken up for good,” a source recently told Us Weekly. “Ronnie’s priority is his daughter, so [he’ll do] whatever he has to do to make sure she’s safe. “He’s really aware of what the situation is with Jen. He’s now recognizing that the relationship is probably not healthy for him, Ariana or Jen.” As you probably recall (who could forget?), Magro was tased and arrested following an altercation with Harley at an Airbnb in LA last month. Harley’s injuries were on display when she stepped out with her daughter later in the week — and yeah, we can’t imagine how anyone is Team Ronnie after seeing those bruises. Normally, we’d say the best thing for everyone involved is to cut off all contact. But Ronnie and Jen have a child together, which means their lives are forever intertwined. We just hope they have the good sense to stay apart for the kid. View Slideshow: Jen Harley: Ronnie Threatened to Flat-Out MURDER Me!

At this weekend’s Camp Flog Gnaw Festival, YG invited Stormy Daniels onstage to perform the track and she even threw in a little slander and shade towards the president. My name is Stormy f*cking Daniels, and I am the reason Donald Trump is f*cked,” Daniels said to the crowd. The adult film actress then engaged in some banter with YG, who asked Daniels if she actually had sex with the president to which she replied, “No, I just laid there.” Twitter user @sammcastillo__ captured the moment in the clip below. A warning: there is strong language in the clip so mind your volume and surroundings. stormy fucking daniels pic.twitter.com/9YG3zpBGy1 — $ (@sammcastillo__) November 11, 2019 — Photo: WENN

Y esterday, Trump was in Atlanta for his Black Voices for Trump Coalition . There was tons of buffoonery and one of Trump’s worshipers managed to get himself on television to defend the racist-in-chief. SEE ALSO: Graphic Sex Tape Of Pastor David E. Wilson Cheating On His Wife Has Twitter Torn NAACP Atlanta president Richard Rose and Trump’s Diversity Council director Bruce LeVell were on CNN discussing his clear and dangerous racism. Rose explained, “We take the words of some of the Republicans. As Andrew Gillum said when he was running for governor of Florida, it is the racists who calls this president the racist. It’s Lindsey Graham who said he was racist, xenophobic, and a religious bigot. We can’t disagree with that.” LeVell’s head almost exploded as he ranted, “I have to keep putting this in perspective. It is essential and vital to build Black generational wealth back. Opportunity Zones is a magnificent tool. It’s one of the best tools we have. We can get better, yes. But when you go to an African-American community, ask yourself, who owns the grocery store, the gas stations. I’m one of the largest Black jewelry store owners in the country. I’m African-American … the numbers don’t lie.” Just an important point, Opportunity Zones is a supposed plan to revitalize urban neighborhoods. The program has designated more than 8,000 census tracts across the U.S. as “distressed.” Nonetheless, there are already signs this will only be a bonanza for the wealthy by allowing real estate developers to push out poor people. The Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy reports , “This program runs a high risk of displacing low-income people living in communities from which government has historically and systemically disinvested. Low-income communities targeted by Opportunity Zones are overwhelmingly Black.” Areas for these so-called Opportunity Zones are “63 percent Black and only 28 percent white.” LeVell even denied the validity of a Quinnipiac poll that said 80 percent of African-Americans believe Trump is racist. “No. That’s an unfair statement. That’s unfair,” he whined. LeVell tried to praise the low employment numbers, which Rose countered with, “This has nothing to do with this president. None of that has anything to do with this president.All he had to do was maintain what the Obama Administration had started. Now we’ve got tariffs and trade wars going on. This has been a disaster. Economists tell us we’re headed for a slowdown because of the actions of this president.” Watch the clip below: SEE ALSO: Meet Jogger Joe, The Man Who Took Racist Cue From BBQ Becky In Tossing Homeless Man’s Clothes Trump-Supporting DA Calls ‘Ghetto’ Maxine Waters A ‘Bitch,’ Can’t Believe She Hasn’t Been Shot This Colin Kaepernick Retweet Says Everything You Need To Know About The NFL Players’ Anthem Grievance [ione_media_gallery src=”https://newsone.com” id=”3785430″ overlay=”true”]

A post shared by VONJAHVNSTRSUR (@iamvonja) on Oct 18, 2019 at 8:12am PDT It seems like the two siblings are at odds, to say the least, and she let it be fully known on Instagram. “Your asinine ways reflect our relationship, we don’t have one. Your subliminal shots don’t mean sh-t if you can’t @ me,” reads the start of her message, a caption of a photo of her brother side by side with an emoji with the message “I’m a Scorpio.” That was just the very first sip of the team. You know it was really because she used Fab’s (born John David Jackson) first name. She continued, “We are done in reality and I won’t front for the gram or any other app. Fuck you! John. Go ban all the rest of the people that post up about you, you won’t be able to stop the blogs IDIOT.” Well damn. Although it isn’t clear what cause this epic fallout, she wrote they are “beyond reconciliation.” Reportedly, Fab attended his niece’s graduation despite not speaking to her mother (his sister). She also warned family to mind their biz before she starts telling tales directly to the media. Read the full spiel below.

J udge Greg Mathis is furthering his efforts to help individuals impacted by the water crisis in Flint, Michigan. According to NBC News , the Detroit native recently donated 50,000 bottles of water to the city’s students. TV’s Judge Mathis donating more than 50,000 bottles of water to Flint schools https://t.co/UnEnt3pWGh — MLive (@MLive) October 31, 2019 After learning about the cognitive effects that the contaminated water has had on several students within the school system, Mathis was determined to address the issue. The 50,000 bottles of water will be dispersed to schools throughout Flint on Monday. Mathis has also teamed up with AquaTru to provide nine water filtration systems to charter schools in the city. He believes that no parent should be put in a position to risk their child’s health due to the lack of accessibility to clean water. He added that if government officials aren’t going to rectify the situation, then individuals like himself will step up. “It’s difficult to win the confidence of the citizens that you have allowed to be harmed,” he said. “If you wouldn’t risk it for your children, don’t ask these parents to risk it for theirs.” This isn’t the first donation that Mathis has made. Last year, he sent thousands of cases of water to Flint residents. News about Mathis’ donation comes after 12-year-old activist Amariyanna Copeny —who is known Little Miss Flint—raised over $130,000 to create a long-term sustainable solution to the water crisis by bringing state-of-the-art water filters to underserved communities. The implementation of the water filters would give individuals the ability to have safe running water within their households. Earlier this year, rapper and actor Jaden Smith ’s eco-friendly natural spring water brand JUST Goods Inc. teamed up with Flint’s First Trinity Missionary Baptist Church to implement a system called “The Water Box” which reduces lead and other toxic chemicals in contaminated water.
