Rachel Dolezal changes her name to West African moniker







Rachel Dolezal — the white NAACP leader who pretended to be black for years — has reportedly changed her name to a West African moniker meaning “gift of God.”

The 39-year-old will now be called Nkechi Amare Diallo, according to the Daily Mail.

Legal documents obtained by the British outlet show that she legally changed her name in a Washington state court back in October.

Nkechi, which is short for Nkechinyere, originates from the Igbo language of Nigeria and translates to “what God has given” or “gift of God,” the Mail reports. Diallo, or “bold,” is ultimately of Fula origin. The Muslim ethnic group is said to have roots in the Middle East and West Africa. 

In her goal to achieve her 'blackness' she also had some plastic surgery.



Dolezal — the former president of the NAACP’s Spokane chapter and a one-time professor of Africana studies at Eastern Washington University — reportedly has fallen on hard times since being exposed by her parents as white in June 2015.

Speaking to The Guardian last week, the disgraced civil rights advocate described how she had been unable to find a job or pay her rent in recent months.

After her name change, she attempted to use her new identity to try to garner some positive attention, the Mail reports.

Dolezal started a Change.org petition in October, requesting that the TEDx organization post a controversial speech she apparently gave in April 2016 at the University of Idaho.

The petition was listed under the name Nkechi Diallo — and didn’t mention her birth name.

While Dolezal only managed to get 30 of the 100 required signatures, TED decided to post the video anyway.

“Refusing to post it would unduly limit an important conversation about identity, and the social underpinning of race — and would be counter to TED’s guiding philosophy of radical openness,” the organization said.

Dolezal, who once sued the historically black Howard University for racial discrimination, is slated to release a memoir next month, titled “In Full Color,” which will outline her life.

She told The Guardian last week that despite what people say, she still believes she’s not white.

“I do think a more complex label would be helpful, but we don’t really have that vocabulary,” Dolezal explained. “I feel like the idea of being trans-black would be much more accurate than ‘I’m white.’ Because, you know, I’m not white … Calling myself black feels more accurate than saying I’m white.”

Valerie Jarrett moving in with Obama to oust Trump from WH





On Wednesday, the UK Daily Mail reported that Barack Obama and Valerie Jarrett are plotting the ouster of President Donald J. Trump from a huge $5.3 million mansion. Jarrett, the report adds, has just moved into the 8,200 square foot house for that purpose.



Of course, we all remember when Karl Rove moved in with the Bush's to plan the destruction of Barry's presidency. 
What...you don't remember that? 

--------------------------------------------


Barack Obama is turning his new home in the posh Kalorama section of the nation’s capital – just two miles away from the White House – into the nerve center of the mounting insurgency against his successor, President Donald J. Trump.

Obama’s goal, according to a close family friend, is to oust Trump from the presidency either by forcing his resignation or through his impeachment.

And Obama is being aided in his political crusade by his longtime consigliere, Valerie Jarrett, who has moved into the 8,200-square-foot, $5.3-million Kaloroma mansion with the former president and Michelle Obama, long time best friends.

Obama, the report adds, has an office set up on the West End of the Capitol, but the office cannot be used for political purposes.

Since when did breaking the rules matter?

After Obama left office, Jarrett moved all her White House belonging into the Kalorama mansion.

‘There was never any doubt that Valerie would have a suite of rooms in the house that the Obama’s are renting,’ said the source. ‘Obama trusts her judgment more than any other person on the planet, as does Michelle.

Obama doesn’t make a decision without her.

This pretty much matches up with what I was once told by retired Maj. General Paul Vallely, who said in no uncertain terms that Obama doesn’t go to the bathroom without her permission.

As for their effort to take out Trump, the report says:

Spurred on by Jarrett and Michelle, the ex-president has come to embrace his role as the leader of the opposition against Trump, whose policies he loathes and whose presidency he considers illegitimate.

President Trump has repeatedly accused holdovers from Obama's administration of leaking classified information to the press.

‘He is going to use his immense popularity with the half of the country that identifies as liberals and progressives,’ said the Obama family source. ‘Millions of Americans are energized and ready to take to the streets to oppose Trump, but they need to be organized and have their anger focused and directed.'

‘Obama is dismayed at the way Trump is tearing down his legacy—ObamaCare, the social safety net and the welcome mat for refugees he put in place,’ the source continued.

“They are also planning to have a house in Hawaii, as well as in Chicago, where the Obama Presidential Library will be built. But Kalorama, where the Washington action takes place, is going to be home base,” the source reportedly said.

Beau Biden's widow having affair with his brother, report says





The widow of Joe Biden‘s late son Beau Biden has started a romantic relationship with her former brother-in-law, Hunter Biden, the former Vice President’s younger son.

Hallie Biden, who was devastated when her husband Beau died after suffering from brain cancer in May 2015, is now officially a couple with Hunter, 47, who has separated from his wife Kathleen.

The astonishing family drama caps a difficult period for the Bidens following the death of Beau at age 46. The former Vice President cited the death of his eldest son as one of the reasons he didn’t feel ready to run for president against Donald Trump.

Hunter Biden, a lawyer who has three daughters with his estranged wife Kathleen, told Page Six in an exclusive statement, “Hallie and I are incredibly lucky to have found the love and support we have for each other in such a difficult time, and that’s been obvious to the people who love us most. We’ve been so lucky to have family and friends who have supported us every step of the way.”

Former Vice President Joe Biden added that he and his wife Dr. Jill Biden have given their blessing to the relationship. He said, “We are all lucky that Hunter and Hallie found each other as they were putting their lives together again after such sadness. They have mine and Jill’s full and complete support and we are happy for them.”

Beau, the former state attorney general of Delaware who served in Iraq as a major in the Delaware Army National Guard, and Hallie have two children, named Natalie and Hunter.

A source told us that Hunter and his wife Kathleen separated in October 2015, five months after the death of Beau. Kathleen, the chairwoman of the Eleanor Roosevelt Dialogue, didn’t comment.

Record-breaking auction for Obamas’ book deal tops $60m



What fool would pay $60 million for what is sure to be a pack of lies... when we were lied to 8 years for free? 



Of course, Chapter 10:

How I Created More Debt Than All The Other Presidents Combined

Will be left out. 

-------------------------------



A blockbuster auction for the global rights to two books by Barack and Michelle Obama has reached more than $60 million, according to people with knowledge of the sales process, a record sum for US presidential memoirs.

The Obamas are writing separate books but selling the rights jointly.

Several publishers including Penguin Random House, which published Mr. Obama's previous three books, and HarperCollins, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp, have expressed interest in the most hotly anticipated publishing deal of the year.

Simon & Schuster, which is owned by CBS, and Macmillan, are also in the mix for the joint deal. A win by HarperCollins would bring the Obamas into the same publishing house as Bill O'Reilly, the author and Fox News Channel presenter who has been one of the former president's fiercest critics.

Penguin Random House is leading the pack for the Obamas' joint publishing deal, according to those briefed on the auction, with a decision on the winning bid expected imminently. The publisher declined to comment, as did Robert Barnett, Mr. Obama's literary agent, who is fielding offers on behalf of the former president. A spokesman for Mr. Obama also declined to comment.

The sum offered would eclipse other book deals secured by departing presidents. Knopf, a division of Penguin Random House, paid $15 million for the rights to Bill Clinton's 2004 memoirs My Life when he left the White House, while George W Bush made an estimated $10 million from his book Decision Points, which was published by Crown.

One executive from a publisher interested in acquiring the rights, who asked not to be named, said that while Penguin Random House had made a "big move" to secure the books, other publishers were watching the situation closely before deciding their next steps. "It's live," the executive added.

Mr Barnett has become a power player for politicians seeking big book deals. He brokered Tony Blair's £4.5 million contract with Penguin Random House, which is jointly owned by UK education group Pearson and Bertelsmann, the German media company. Pearson last month said it had exercised an option to sell its stake in the company; discussions between the two sides are said to be ongoing.

The Obamas have kept a low profile since leaving the White House. They recently holidayed in Palm Springs and visited Necker Island, where Mr. Obama kite-boarded with Sir Richard Branson.

Having gained a reputation as a writer before entering the White House with his best selling books Dreams From My Father and The Audacity of Hope, Mr. Obama's story of his two terms as president was always likely to attract huge offers from publishing groups.

But the prospect of a joint book deal with his wife Michelle has propelled the auction to record-breaking levels and has set the publishing industry alight.

Mr. Obama earned $8.8 million from The Audacity of Hope, a 2006 bestseller, and the children's book Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to My Daughters, according to a report by Forbes. Sales of his first memoir, Dreams from My Father, published in paperback in 2004, brought in a further $6.8 million in royalties, according to Forbes.
