Adult film star says she was assaulted on Stormy Daniels’ porn set, and Stormy did nothing

Without a doubt, the liberal media has grown obsessed with former
adult film star Stormy Daniels following allegations of an affair with
then-businessman Donald Trump a dozen years ago.
But those liberals may want to reconsider heralding Daniels
as a spokeswoman of the #MeToo movement against sexual assault and
harassment after what a fellow adult film star just said about her.
According to The Daily Beast, Daniels — real name Stephanie Clifford — stands accused of not only knowing about sexual assault and harassment that took place on a film set she was directing in 2017, but also did absolutely nothing to appropriately address the situation.
That accusation was leveled by a fellow porn star named Tasha Reign, who alleged that she was groped by a crewmember on November 15 while shooting a Daniels-directed film.
“I was sexually assaulted by one of her crewmembers. He groped and
grabbed me from behind,” explained Reign on the verge of tears. “I spoke
up immediately because I was in the moment, and I was so proud of
myself.”
Reign related how she told Daniels what happened, as well as the owner of Wicked Pictures, who were producing the film.
However, “she did not handle the situation appropriately, respectfully or professionally. So it’s a little bit outrageous when I hear her say things about how she is standing up for women and wants to be a voice for other women to be able to come forward when I was assaulted on her set and she didn’t give me any care or attention, and didn’t even send that man home.”
Reign also shared how Daniels had been making jokes with the crew
about the #MeToo movement which stemmed from disturbing allegations
against Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein.
She described in detail how she was groped from behind by a crewmember while filling out paperwork, but proceeded to shoot the next scene so she could talk to Daniels about the incident afterward.
But Daniels seemed to side with the crewmember, who apologized for his actions, and even seemed to shame Reign for hurting the man’s feelings.
Of course, Daniels has vehemently denied the allegations against her
and has asserted that nothing of the sort occurred on the set of her
film. Wicked Pictures have said only that they are investigating the
report.According to The Daily Beast, Daniels — real name Stephanie Clifford — stands accused of not only knowing about sexual assault and harassment that took place on a film set she was directing in 2017, but also did absolutely nothing to appropriately address the situation.

Do you believe these allegations against Stormy Daniels?
But Reign remains adamant, and has even threatened legal action against Daniels and Wicked Pictures to force a resolution and ensure such incidents never occur again in the future.
Chief of Homeland Security drafted resignation letter after Trump scolded her

Does President Trump have a snowflake in his administration?
After calling out his Homeland Security Secretary, Kirstjen Nielsen, during a recent cabinet meeting, Nielson reportedly drafted her resignation letter and was getting ready to walk.
More than a year into the administration, Trump expected his cabinet members responsible for the borders to get the job done.
Nielsen, who is the protégé of Trump’s chief of staff, John Kelly, is one of these with most of that responsibility on her desk.
The 20,000 plus employees in Immigrations and Customs Enforcement all fall under her department.
Unnamed sources at the meeting said Trump went on a long tirade over border control, specifically calling out Nielson for the problem.
Apparently, Nielson did not appreciate being yelled at and was ready to call it quits after the meeting.
However, it would appear after things cooled down, she understood why Trump was so upset.
According to reports, though, Nielson felt that she could not continue in her role if Trump thought she was ineffective at her job.
Trump wants the family separation policy moved forward to deter families with small children to cross the border illegally.
Accountability
As we all know, one of Trump’s major promises during his campaign was to get our borders secured.More than a year into the administration, Trump expected his cabinet members responsible for the borders to get the job done.

The Outburst
The reason Trump lost his cool was because he does not think DHS is being aggressive enough taking measures to lock down the borders.Trump wants the family separation policy moved forward to deter families with small children to cross the border illegally.
Fake News?
After the rumors started to fly about Nielson resigning, the Homeland Secretary released a statement saying Trump was “rightfully frustrated that existing loopholes and the lack of congressional action have prevented this administration from fully securing the border.”Do You Think Nielson Will Resign?
Now, that does not sound like someone that was going to resign, does it?
That sentiment was further backup up DHS spokesman Tyler Q. Houlton, who said the resignation story was flat out “false.”

Former Seahawks coach Chuck Knox dead at 86

A former National Football League head coach who was both famed
among his players and feared among opponents passed away on Saturday and
left millions of fans heartbroken.
Chuck Knox, who coached the Buffalo Bills, Los Angeles Rams
and Seattle Seahawks to numerous winning seasons from the 1970s to
1990s, passed away at the age of 86 after a long battle with dementia.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Knox was born in 1932 in Sewickley, Pennsylvania, played football at Juniata College and then went on to coach his alma mater before moving up to coach in the NFL.
Fans and players recall that Knox brought a Western Pennsylvania, blue-collar ethos of gritty determination with him to the NFL, which earned him widespread respect.
“Chuck Knox had that John Wayne thing, where you knew he was the guy
in charge,” stated Dave Krieg, who quarterbacked the Seahawks under
Knox.
“You were going to do things his way, old-school Pennsylvania style,” Krieg added. “But he also had a proven track record, so that gave our team confidence. He let you know who was the boss.”
Knox also earned the nickname “Ground Chuck,” both because of the power running game his teams focused on as well as what his teams’ opponents would feel like after battling on the field for four quarters.
“We wore it as a medal of honor,” stated former L.A. Rams Hall of
Fame tackle Jackie Slater. “The nickname ‘Ground Chuck’ spoke volumes
for the men that he fielded.”
“Because when you say `Ground Chuck,’ you’re basically saying to a defense, ‘Hey, you guys better get ready, dig in, put your hands on the ground, because this is what we’re going to do to you,'” Slater added.
Slater also said of Knox, “I never had a guy that breathed intensity into a group of men before kickoff as well as he did.”
Coach Knox not only led all three teams he coached to successful
winning seasons more often than not, he also earned the league’s top
honor, coach of the year, with all three clubs.According to the Los Angeles Times, Knox was born in 1932 in Sewickley, Pennsylvania, played football at Juniata College and then went on to coach his alma mater before moving up to coach in the NFL.

Are you saddened by the loss of Coach Chuck Knox?
The coach will no doubt be sorely missed by his family, friends and former players, and we send out our sincere condolences to all of them.
Monica Lewinsky goes after Marco Rubio for ‘intern’ comments
May 4, 2018
Ted Conference / CCL
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) is taking heat from an unlikely source after walking back critical statements he previously made of the GOP-led tax reform. After challenging a Politico editorial
intern’s characterization of his stance, former White House intern and
celebrity activist Monica Lewinsky tweeted that “blaming the intern is
so 1990’s.”
Quint Forgey, who describes himself as an “Editorial intern/anthropomorphized stress ball” at Politico, accused
the Florida congressman of engaging in “political damage control
following blowback from some conservatives over his less-than-glowing
review of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.”
First, during an interview with The Economist published on Monday, Rubio noted that “there’s no evidence whatsoever that the [tax cut] money’s been massively poured back into the American worker.”
However, two days later Rubio penned an op-ed appearing in National Review stating that, “Overall, the Republican tax-cut bill has been good for Americans. That’s why I voted for it.”
In response to blowback from his perceived love-hate relationship with tax cuts, Rubio said that he “did not back down” from earlier statements he made condemning the tax law for failing to do enough for working-class Americans.
Instead, he argued, The Economist selectively parsed his words to make his support appear wavering, and Politico compared that assessment to his op-ed to accuse him of flip-flopping on tax reform.
Yet, the former Republican presidential nominee went too far by turning his defense into a personal attack aimed at discrediting a low-level journalist.
Rubio suggested that the criticism for his tax reform about-face was somehow unmerited because of the source:
It was Lewinsky’s status as an intern
during her relationship with the president that has earned her sympathy
with the contemporary #MeToo Movement. If the dozens of cases of sexual
misconduct to emerge from Hollywood and Capitol Hill in recent months
has taught Americans anything, it is that powerful men often use their
authority and the supervisory status to exploit women and force their
complicity.
To be fair, Forgey isn’t quite the helpless young journalist that Lewinsky would characterize him to be. He has articles published in The Wall Street Journal, Salon and Fox Business News, and his status as an intern is likely grooming him for a managerial position at Politico. Pick on someone your own size

Game. Set. Match.
Enter Ms. Lewinsky — a self-described “bullying prevention activist” whose salacious love affair with then-President Bill Clinton kept a nation enthralled throughout the late 1990s. The former White House intern sprang to the defense of unpaid temporary workers everywhere in response to Rubio’s ad-hominem attack against an inexperienced would-be journalist.

Do you support the Trump tax cuts?
Despite this, Rubio would be better served keeping his arguments isolated to matters of actual substance rather than attacking the experience of his critics.
