Jimmy Kimmel Books Trump’s Former Mistress For SOTU Interview Remember the news about a porn star that Trump had a cheeto-dusty tryst with just one year after wedding Melania? He apparently took her down back in 2006…but suddenly had his lawyers pay her $130,000 not to talk about what happened back in 2016, when it started looking like the election might actually go his way — despite all the p*ssy-grabbing and whatnot. Well, adult film actress Stormy Daniels maintained her silence as part of that $100k+ NDA…but the beans got spilled regardless . Now, her club appearances and other bookings have been mysteriously getting cancelled right and left, even though she hasn’t publicly parted her lips on the night in question yet. But Jimmy Kimmel is looking to change that. As a matter of fact, he thinks the night of the State of the Union address would be a perfect time to hear what Stormy has to say about what went down between her and y’all’s lil President. And he says he has TONS of questions for her: I am pleased to announce that the very gifted @StormyDaniels will be on #Kimmel Tuesday 1/30 after the #StateOfTheUnion . I have MANY QUESTIONS! #MAGA — Jimmy Kimmel (@jimmykimmel) January 26, 2018 We don’t know if this forfeits her $130,000 payout …but we’re assuming she’s able to make much more than that if she goes public with her story.

John Parra/Getty Images for for The Hollywood Reporter Common Recites His Powerful Verse About Women Taking Over Both women and men joined the second year of the Women’s March in cities across the country on Saturday, and there were plenty celebrities there to join them. Common was those celebrities joining in on the good cause over in Utah, and there he recited a verse from his lovable 2016 track “The Day Women Took Over.” A pretty perfect song for the occasion.

Last year for it’s inaugural protest, which followed the election of Donald Trump, some estimates pegged the original Women’s March as the largest organized protest in American history.

Pedo-Petty Racists: Roy Moore Refuses To Take His L, Files New Lawsuit To Block Election Outcome Roy Moore is hell bent on getting into that Alabama Senate seat, even after losing outstandingly in the election . He’s now suing to overturn the election results. According to The Grio , Moore’s attorney wrote in the complaint filed late Wednesday that he believed there were irregularities during the election and said there should be a fraud investigation and eventually a new election. Despite dealing with haters, Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill told The Associated Press Wednesday evening that he has no intention of delaying the canvassing board meeting. “It is not going to delay certification and Doug Jones will be certified (Thursday) at 1 p.m. and he will be sworn in by Vice President Pence on the third of January,” Merrill said. In the complaint, Moore’s attorneys said that Moore’s numbers were suspiciously low in about 20 Jefferson County precincts and noted the higher than expected turnout in the race, particularly in Jefferson County. Umm, maybe that’s because Black women REALLY REALLY wanted a racist pedophile to lose?

On this Election Day 2017, “off-year” races could actually shape our country’s future. The CEO of a political organization aimed at voting expounds on why state elections are so crucial.
O ne year removed from the most divisive election in modern history, voters were heading back to the ballots in a series of pivotal political contests across the country. Several intriguing battles have taken center stage and include African-American candidates. Here are six of them to watch: Atlanta Mayor Eyes are on the Atlanta mayoral race because Mary Norwood , a 65-year-old city councilwoman, has a chance to become the city’s first White mayor in more than four decades. At one point, Norwood held a double-digit lead in the polls. However, one of the latest surveys showed that one of her competitors, Keisha Lance Bottoms , has pulled ahead of her.

Walsh and become the city’s first African-American mayor. The Boston branch of the NAACP released a scathing 175-page report criticizing Walsh for not keeping his promises to communities of color. One things to look for is whether Black voters will punish the mayor at the polls. I am the sum total of all who have shown me love. I want to pay it forward. #WeAreBoston #BosMayor17 https://t.co/senkkfHOJC — Tito Jackson (@titojackson) November 6, 2017 Detroit Mayor Coleman Young was Detroit’s first African-American mayor. Now his son, Coleman Young II, is trying to walk in his father’s footsteps. But he’s competing against a popular White mayor, Mike Duggan . Even though the city’s population is more than 80 percent Black, many analysts said voters wanted to give Duggan a chance to continue his economic recovery efforts. Sen.

City Councilwoman LaToya Cantrell and former judge Desiree Charbonnet topped a field of 18 candidates in October to compete in a two-candidate runoff, scheduled for Nov. 18. Analyzing the road ahead, The Advocate reported that Cantrell, who emerged as a champion of the working-class after Hurricane Katrina, had the support of prominent individuals in the White business community. Her opponent had the backing of the city’s Democratic U.S. Rep. Cedric Richmond , who is chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, as well as key players in New Orleans’ political establishment. Where did LaToya Cantrell and Desiree Charbonnet travel on the public's dime? https://t.co/uBMNjvCm8I — NOLA.com (@NOLAnews) November 3, 2017 St. Paul Mayor The St. Paul Police Federation not only targeted African-American candidate Melvin Carter for a racist attack that included the creation and distribution of a political flier that suggested he was somehow responsible for a surge in gun violence, pinning that claim on the theft of two guns from Carter’s home. However, the scheme backfired, with scores of voters and elected officials condemning the police union. Carter won the support of several top Democrats, including U.S. Sen. Al Franken.

Governor Justin Fairfax , the Democratic candidate for Virginia lieutenant governor, was running for office amid racial tension within his party and from his GOP opponent. Ralph Northam , who was running for governor, created uproar in the party when he omitted Fairfax from a group of campaign fliers that lists Democrats running for statewide office. Meanwhile, Fairfax also received subtle racist attacks from the right. His Republican opponent, Jill Holtzman Vogel , raised a question during their final debate about whether Fairfax can “talk intelligently” about issues. If Fairfax wins, he will become the first African-American elected statewide in Virginia since Douglas Wilder became governor in 1989.
