Porn Hub, one of the internet’s top porn sites, released a bunch of stats (most of which I don’t plan on getting into). One of the stats is that infamous porn actress Stormy Daniels made it to the top searched porn star.
Daniels was recently ordered to pay President Trump close to $300,000 in legal fees. Daniels sued the President claiming the President defamed her and cost her income…looks like she is more famous than ever!
In a big twist of fate, porn actress Stormy Daniels has to pay President Donald Trump close to $300,000 in legal fees in a lawsuit Daniels filed against Trump earlier this year.
In April of 2018, Stormy Daniels filed a defamation case against the President saying that Trump defamed her on Twitter.
Daniel’s lawyer and former Presidential Candidate Michael Avenatti claims that Daniels should be awarded $1.5 million when things are all said and done.

Flames burning into the palm trees on the coast of Santa Barbara during California’s Thomas Fire in December 2017 (Greg Birchfield, CalFire).
Due to the wildfires burning in California for the past week, many are asking: Was there something the state government could have done to prevent these disasters?
One possible solution was rejected by the state’s governor a couple years ago. Senate Bill 1463, introduced by California State Senator John Moorlach of Costa Mesa, was vetoed by Governor Jerry Brown in September 2016.
California has had 7,579 fires during 2018, the most destructive number on record for the state (Savanna Birchfield, MultiMediaMouth).
This bill would authorize the Public Utilities Commission to establish rules for public utilities- like Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) and Edison- to reduce fire hazard in brush and wooded areas near power lines. This means they would have to “maintain a clearance in all directions between all vegetation and all conductors that are carrying electric current”, according to the bill’s text at the California Legislative Information website.
With the knowledge that the Thomas Fire, which burned through Ventura County and Santa Barbara County, being started by Edison power lines and PG&E currently being blamed for the Camp Fire that destroyed the town of Paradise in Northern California, many people are blaming this veto for the 80 deaths and almost one thousand people unaccounted for.
President Trump again tweeted about his unhappiness with the forest management on November 11 (@realDonaldTrump, Twitter).
In Brown’s veto letter, he says the bill is redundant with the Commission already “doing just that through the existing proceeding on fire-threat maps and fire-safety regulations”.
To further the discontent of the public, Brown recently passed Senate Bill 901, which reverses previous laws that “prohibit an electrical corporation or gas corporation… from recovering from ratepayers expenses”.
Critics, including President Donald Trump, condemn the “gross mismanagement of the forests” in California, which the president stated in a tweet November 10.
With many so unhappy about the governor’s decisions in relation to fire prevention, Californians are waiting to see what his next move will be before his term ends in January.
Jim Acosta has been given his press credentials by a judge. After Acosta refused to yield his time at a Presidential Press Conference. Press Secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders went on to claim that Acosta put his hands on a White House intern, which did not happen.
Howard Shultz is one very rich man. He’s the man who is behind the rise of Starbucks over the last 20 years. He is also the man who is responsible for Starbucks partners getting their education paid for, stock options, and full health care.
Shultz resigned as CEO late last year and then resigned as Executive Chairman of the coffee chain earlier this year citing desires to do more outside of the company. Now, Shultz might be getting ready to launch a Presidential bid.
The question now is this: Would you vote for Howard Shultz without knowing exactly what he would campaign on?
Earlier this week, the White House suspended the credential for CNN reporter, Jim Acosta. Acosta refused to give up his microphone at a press conference when President Trump asked him to move on to the next reporter. Acosta pressed on, even after a White House intern tried to get the microphone out of Acosta’s hand.
Press Secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, later announced that Acosta’s credentials had been suspended because he “Laid hands on a female intern”. While that spin is false, Acosta -too many- did break some rules in the White House press room for refusing to move on when asked.
Today, the President was asked how long Acosta’s suspension would be and Trump didn’t actually answer the question. Trump would claim he hasn’t made a decision, but other reporters might lose their credentials as well.
Commentary: It isn’t a bad thing to ask for respect in the press room for the President. What is bad is if Trump is going to pull credentials from reporters that he just doesn’t like. When a reporter is hostile and rude and attempts to hijack a press conference then yes, suspend the credential. Don’t use the action of pulling credentials as a way to win over people you don’t like.
The Trump Administration announced Friday that the sanctions lifted from Iran due to the nuclear deal in 2015 will be reimposed, undoing the work of the president’s predecessor, Barack Obama.
Earlier this year, President Donald Trump withdrew from the Iranian Nuclear Deal, marking the beginning of this rollback.
These sanctions will take effect November 5, covering “Iran’s energy, ship building, shipping, and banking sectors,” according to Secretary of State Michael Pompeo.
“These sanctions hit at the core areas of Iran’s economy.”
For Iran to have these sanctions lifted again, there are 12 things Secretary Pompeo states they must do.
These demands include ending military engagement in Syria and support for terrorism, and the conclusion of their development of nuclear and ballistic missiles.
Eight countries are receiving temporary waivers to continue importing Iranian petroleum products as they attempt to end these imports entirely within the next six months.
What these sanctions will also do is punish other countries that continue to import Iranian oil, as well as foreign companies that work with these countries.
The announcement of these sanctions being reimposed was welcomed by Israel, who have long considered Iran as a threat.
Israel’s Ambassador to the United States, Ron Dermer, thanked the president saying Iran is a “regime that vows and works to destroy the Jewish state.”
Brazil elected its new president Sunday, a member of the Social Liberal Party, named Jair Bolsonaro.
So who is this new leader and how could his changes affect the United States?
First, let’s figure out what exactly the Social Liberal Party (PSL) of Brazil is.
This party was first founded October 30, 1994 with the belief that a free society is the main requirement for development in Brazil and the elimination of poverty.
It stands for limited federal government, more representation from local government, and greater involvement from the community.
Some specific issues that the party believes in include stronger protection of their borders, allowing citizens to own firearms, and raising awareness of the evils of socialism and communism.
Bolsonaro himself did not join the PSL until January 2018, with his previous party affiliation being the Social Christian Party.
With his arrival to the PSL, the party adopted more conservative ideologies, with their original stances being more libertarian.
Bolsonaro is known for his desire of stronger traditional family values in Brazil, and for being opposed to same-sex marriage, abortion, and drug decriminalization.
As a 17-year veteran of the Brazilian Army, Bolsonaro also supports improving the salaries of military members and giving more budget funds to the military.
Brazil, like the US, is a democratic Republic, with both countries having the largest economies in the Western Hemisphere.
With Bolsonaro and President Donald Trump both being well-known as outspoken conservatives, this could mean an even better relationship between the two countries.
The White House has stated that Trump is eager to work side-by-side with the new Brazilian leader, and Bolsonaro has stated that much like the US President wants to make America great, he wants to make Brazil great.
