Just my humble opinion but I thinks Venus let Serena win. Not saying she couldn’t beat her but I think big sister wanted her little sis to get that record.

“After everything Donald Trump said about Barack Obama during his campaign, after everything he said after, when President Trump was elected, Obama invited him to the White House,” Harvey explains. “They met in a private meeting for an hour and a half. After all he has said about President Obama, he still left Trump a personal note at the White House for when he came in. After all he said about President Obama, he still patted him on the shoulder. Michelle still kissed Melania. After all he said about Hillary Clinton, Hillary Clinton was sitting at the inauguration, clapping for the same man.” ⠀
Sample comments under this:
spiiceoflife: Did he just compare himself to Obama n Michelle ? That’s your problem right there you think you’re more important than you actually are, you think you’re on some level that you’re obviously not.
ToksigN: No Steve Harvey, no. Pres and First Lady Obama did their job. It was their job and the tradition for them to warmly welcome their successors even if it’s the asshole and his plastic slit-eye ho. Hillary went to inauguration with Bill Clinton who is former president and had to be there. You on the other hand went there to coon. Talking about golf, hoping you and your couture loving ho can crash Mar a logo like you crash Magic and cookie Johnson anniversary bash in the south of France.
therealpettypatty: Don’t let this snake wiggle his way back into your house… He should have let his listeners know he was going to talk to the man he talked so bad about… With his two face ass. It’s ok for us to sit behind our computers and tell him how funny he is and how beautiful his wife,family,house and cars are… He ran to Trump cause he feared the OJ effect- they give it they take it back.
mrs.sena.baby: Meeting with him no problem, but coming out after 1 hour talk he is a great person Really Steve all the nasty words about women children?
7_lw_12I: Spin it how you want. Make it sound like the Christian thing to do and all but nope… you Mr Harvey sat with him and spoke about golf. GOLF! Tell me how this helps us.
creolequeencokey: Cmon you’re still choosing to miss the point and unlike our great President Obama you fell for Trump BS in one visit. Is he helping the black community by cutting Obama’s mortgage plan that help people buy homes? Is he helping the black community by cutting plan parenthood?. Send in the Feds and guess who is going to be hurt even more.
trinna117: how dare HE 🙄 they both just need to shut the hell up yall dead ass wrong and did what you did for your own benefit then try to act like you did it for the good of the black community 🤔 idc who tf you meet with or perform for but don’t try to sell the black community a lie oh he’s a nice guy he’s not that bad bitch please now you feel like shit bc we’re not as stupid and gullible as you thought to accept that bs then using Obama as a shield umm that’s his job to do regardless if he disagrees with him

I saw this yesterday about this woman. Well, no one is learning anything new about her lying. Apparently she is afraid to die knowing that if there is a hell she’s going there for eternity. So she recants now to save her soul, or so she thinks.
I’m sorry she never got what she really deserved here on Earth.

“…Among business people and the political class, Republicans on the Hill, that I’ve spoken to, just a great sense of being unnnerved..unnerved at the instability…sense of chaos and incompetence…”
“…He sells things that are false all the time…is it because he’s an Orwellian figure ..twisting words to exercise power and control people’s minds..? Or is he a 5year old who has ego needs that need to be fed ..and the universe has to work around his ego needs so he can feel good about himself and people have to produce pictures to make the Monarch feel like he’s met his goals…distortion needs ego fed all the time…”
“…I hear rumblings {among Rebuplicans on the Hill}, and I hope rumblings lead to backbone…”
“>.>…American project weirdly under threat…He lives up there and Steve Bannon runs policy down here….that would have a Berlusconi destabilizing effect on our culture …I do think he’s a fundamentally unstabilizing force and the people sworn to hold up the constitution are going to have to take some measures…”<<<<

“…As a businessman, Donald J. Trump was a serial fabulist whose biggest-best boasts about everything he touched routinely crumbled under the slightest scrutiny. As a candidate, Mr. Trump was a magical realist who made fantastical claims punctuated by his favorite verbal tic: “Believe me.”
Yet even jaded connoisseurs of Oval Office dissembling were astonished over the last week by the torrent of bogus claims that gushed from President Trump during his first days in office.
“We’ve never seen anything this bizarre in our lifetimes, where up is down and down is up and everything is in question and nothing is real,” said Charles Lewis, the founder of the Center for Public Integrity and the author of “935 Lies: The Future of Truth and the Decline of America’s Moral Integrity,” a book about presidential deception.
It was not just Mr. Trump’s debunked claim about how many people attended his inauguration, or his insistence (contradicted by his own Twitter posts) that he had not feuded with the intelligence community, or his audacious and evidence-free claim that Hillary Clinton won the popular vote only because millions of people voted for her illegally.
For students of Mr. Trump’s long business career, there was much about President Trump’s truth-mangling ways that was familiar: the mystifying false statements about seemingly trivial details, the rewriting of history to airbrush unwanted facts, the branding as liars those who point out his untruths, the deft conversion of demonstrably false claims into a semantic mush of unverifiable “beliefs.”
Mr. Trump’s falsehoods have long been viewed as a reflexive extension of his vanity, or as his method of compensating for deep-seated insecurities. But throughout his business career, Mr. Trump’s most noteworthy deceptions often did double duty, serving not just his ego but also important strategic goals. Mr. Trump’s habitually inflated claims about his wealth, for example, fed his self-proclaimed image of a business genius even as they attracted lucrative licensing deals built around the Trump brand.
Doris Kearns Goodwin, a Pulitzer Prize-winning historian who has written about Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson, said in an interview that Mr. Trump’s brazen willingness to deny “objective reality” had, if nothing else, succeeded in diverting public attention from matters of more lasting consequence, like his flurry of executive orders. “I don’t know that he is doing it strategically,” she said, “but it certainly had the impact of a magician’s sleight of hand.”
Deception, dissembling, exaggeration — what Fortune magazine called his “astonishing ability to prevaricate” — has deep roots in Mr. Trump’s business career. In innumerable interviews over the years, Mr. Trump glibly inflated everything from the size of his speaking fees to the cost of his golf club memberships to the number of units he had sold in new Trump buildings. In project after project, he faced allegations of broken promises, deceit or outright fraud, from Trump University students who said they had been defrauded, to Trump condominium buyers who said they had been fleeced, to small-time contractors who said Mr. Trump had fabricated complaints about their work to avoid paying them.
The price Mr. Trump paid for this record of prevarication was modest and manageable. His lawyers quietly settled cases when necessary, almost always after binding plaintiffs to secrecy. Some major banks and law firms quietly pulled back from doing or seeking business with the Trump Organization. Skeptical judges turned away his libel suit against a journalist who wrote a book calling into question the amount of his wealth. But usually, by the time the truth caught up, Mr. Trump had moved on to the next big thing…”

OMG! I saw Hidden Figures with my daughter & sis last night. So awesome. It was more white people in the theater than black. Old, young and middle aged. I heard voices behind me on both sides call the arrogant white blond in the movie a real bitch.
Hidden Figures is the NUMBER ONE movie in m book
LOL Same here, SG2. The theater I went to see the movie had 95 % white viewers. They were shouting and applauding like they were in a Black Southern Baptist church.
Did Haley see it,? She’d so love it, I’ll bet.
Yes, Haley and Jay both saw it. My sis did too.
I have seen it 4 times. And, I get something new each time.
I’m definitely going to see it again and I’ll buy it when it becomes available.
My oldest daughter and I saw it a couple of weeks ago. loved it.
It was emotional for me. I cried during some parts.
