A fellow porn star has backed up Stormy Daniels' claims that she was once threatened to stay silent about her alleged affair with Donald Trump.
Daniels claims she was once threatened in a parking lot in 2011 after she told a tabloid about her affair with the then-real estate mogul.
Now Jessica Drake, who claims she turned down a $10,000 offer to have sex with Trump after meeting him at a Lake Tahoe golf event in 2006, says that Daniels told her about the alleged threat on two separate occasions.
'She actually told me about the threat twice,' Drake said, during her appearance on Good Morning America on Monday. 'So the first time she told me about the threat was shortly after it happened. She relayed the experience to me. I said something like, 'I'm so sorry, I can't even imagine. What are you going to do?"
The adult movie star described how she and Daniels met Trump at the 2006 golf event.
Drake says they, and a third woman, were invited back to his hotel suite where he allegedly kissed them and asked them a number of questions.
'We were ushered into the room,' Drake said. 'And I remember he was wearing pajamas. And he kissed all of us on the lips and kind of, you know, one of those real close, full-body contact hugs. I do believe 100 percent that he was vetting us to see which one or how many of us he liked.'
Drake said the trio left but she later got a call from a Trump employee asking her if she would come back for $10,000.
She says that while she refused, Daniels went back to the future president's room.
I think this is at least the third, or perhaps fourth, woman who has come forward to say that Donald Trump offered them money for sex.
And she just one of over a dozen to accuse Trump of grabbing her and kissing her without permission.
Donald Trump clearly only thinks of women as sexual objects that he can use as he pleases any time he feels the urge.
But then we already knew that, didn't we?

Woman who works in the White House, and is representing the US at the Olympics, says it is inappropriate to ask her questions about her bosses sexual misconduct, because she's his daughter.
Okay first off I think we all know that she knows these allegations are certainly not false.“Do you believe your father’s [sexual misconduct] accusers?” -@PeterAlexander— TODAY (@TODAYshow) February 26, 2018
“I think it’s a pretty inappropriate question to ask a daughter if she believes the accusers of her father when he’s affirmatively stated there’s no truth to it.” -@IvankaTrump pic.twitter.com/23AVPgcOdE
And secondly, EVERYBODY accused of sexual misconduct denies that they did it.
If we simply took a predator's word for this there would be no rapists or child molesters in prison.

LA police department launches investigation into sexual assault charges against Steven Seagal.
Courtesy of HuffPo:
The Los Angeles Police Department has launched a sexual assault investigation against actor Steven Seagal, who in recent weeks has faced several allegations of sexual misconduct including rape, according to multiple reports.
A spokesperson for the LAPD told CBS News that the incident allegedly occurred in 2005. No other details of the case have been made public.
Several women, including actresses Portia de Rossi, Julianna Margulies and Rae Dawn Chong, have recently accused Seagal of sexual harassment. In a November tweet, de Rossi claimed Seagal “unzipped his leather pants” during an audition in the actor’s office. Margulies said Seagal had attempted to sexually harass her in his apartment when she was 23, and Chong accused Seagal of once showing her “his junk” in his hotel room and leaving her multiple “sex messages” on her machine.
A woman named Regina Simons, who worked as an extra on the 1994 film “On Deadly Ground,” which starred Seagal, told The Wrap this month that the actor raped her at his home.
All in all more than a dozen women have accused Seagal of sexual misconduct.
Now this is important. not so much because Seagal is a Hollywood star (He isn't.), but because of who he is now associated with politically.
In recent years Seagal has become besties with Vladimir Putin (He was even awarded Russian citizenship.) and has gone out of his way to defend him a number of times, including most recently against charges that he interfered in our election:
Seagal defended Russia by responding that “every country is involved in espionage,” and denied that Putin had “anything to do with fixing” the U.S. election – all while pronouncing Putin’s name with a hardcore Russian accent.
The actor concluded that the belief that Russia interfered with the U.S. election is the result of “astronomical propaganda,” and meant as some sort of “diversion.”
Seagal is also, of course, a Trump supporter, and has been a friend for years.
He has even been photographed hanging out with other Russian agents.
So yes this case will prove very interesting to watch for a number of reasons.

Missouri Governor admits to affair, but not willing to admit that he blackmailed the woman involved.
Courtesy of WaPo:
Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens (R), responding to media reports, acknowledged Wednesday night that he was unfaithful to his wife “a few years ago” before being elected. But his lawyer denied sensational allegations aired by a local TV station that Greitens threatened to distribute naked photos he took of the woman with whom he was having a relationship if she ever said anything about it.
The woman, who has not been named publicly, was Greitens’s hair stylist, according to media reports confirmed by The Washington Post with a source familiar with the situation.
A joint statement posted Wednesday night by Greitens and his wife, Sheena, said in part that “a few years ago . . . there was a time when he was unfaithful in our marriage. This was a deeply personal mistake. Eric took responsibility, and we dealt with this together honestly and privately.”
But wait, there's more:
The extramarital relationship itself, however, may have been the least explosive part of the story.
More unusual was what she purportedly said in a recording made surreptitiously by the woman’s jealous ex-husband, which the station played.
In it, she can be heard telling how Greitens invited her to his home in 2015. Once she arrived, he told her he would show her how to do pull-ups, taped her hands to exercise rings and blindfolded her, all with her consent.
Then, to her shock, she alleged, he snapped photographs of her naked and threatened to distribute the pictures if she revealed the relationship.
Greitens is like the perfect GOP politician. Ex-Navy Seal, worked for the Bush White House, book author, Rhodes Scholar, has a doctorate, and now he is proven to be a sexual deviant.
It's almost like he came from Republican politician central casting.
Now let's see if the Republicans continue to embrace this guy, or if they are finally getting the message from the #MeToo movement.

Trump accusers unite to call for a Congressional investigation into Donald Trump's history of sexual misconduct.
Courtesy of The Hill:NEW: Women who have publicly accused President Trump of sexual harassment and assault will speak at a news conference, hosted by @bravenewfilms, Monday at 10:30 a.m. ET. The women are calling for an investigation by Congress of sexual misconduct by the president. pic.twitter.com/MSPevMF0os— CBS News (@CBSNews) December 11, 2017
Women who have publicly accused President Trump of sexual misconduct will call for Congress to investigate the allegations at a press conference on Monday.
The women will unite for the first time to demand the probe and share details of their allegations against Trump, according to a press release.
The conference is being hosted by Brave New Films, a film and campaigns organization that works for progressive causes. It released a film about the allegations against Trump in November.
More than a dozen women came forward with allegations of sexual misconduct against Trump during his presidential campaign.
Trump has denied the reports, and the White House has said its official position is that the women are lying.
Ah. the old "the bitches are lying" excuse.
That is such pre-2017 thinking right there.
You know typically I might say that I would like to be a fly on the wall in the White House right now, but I am not sure that my little insect ears could handle all of the screaming and destruction of furniture that is probably going on at this moment.

Widow of Kentucky politician who committed suicide in response to allegations of sexual misconduct will run for his now vacated seat.
Courtesy of Fox News:
The wife of Kentucky State Rep. Dan Johnson, who killed himself on Wednesday amid a bombshell report's accusations of sexual assault, announced Thursday that she would pursue her husband’s seat, saying “his fight will go on.”
Dan Johnson, a preacher and a Republican, committed suicide Wednesday on a bridge in Mt. Washington, according to Bullitt County Sheriff Donnie Tinnell. The coroner confirmed that Johnson died of a single gunshot wound to the head, and the weapon was found near the 57-year-old's body.
The statement from Johnson’s widow, Rebecca, said she was running for the position because “these high-tech lynchings based on lies and half-truths can’t be allowed to win the day.”
“Dan is gone but the story of his life is far from over,” she said.
I think the story of his life is that he was yet another over privileged white guy who hid behind religion while preying on young girls and when he got caught killed himself.
Seems pretty cut and dried to me.

Blake "Ducky PJ's" Farenthold will not seek reelection amid accusations of sexual harassment.
Courtesy of the New York Times:
Representative Blake Farenthold, a Texas Republican who settled a lurid sexual harassment claim with his former communications director for $84,000 and faced accusations from other aides that he ran a hostile workplace, announced Thursday that he will not run for re-election, saying the allegations have become “a political distraction.”
He is the fourth lawmaker in two weeks to announce his eventual departure from Congress amid the swirl of sexual allegations and the sixth this year.
In a nearly five-minute long video posted on his campaign’s Facebook page, Mr. Farenthold denied the sexual harassment allegations from his former communications director, Lauren Greene. But he admitted, with unusual candor, that he had run an “unprofessional” workplace and that his own temper sometimes got out of hand, describing himself as “profoundly sorry” for his conduct.
“I’d never served in public office before. I had no idea how to run a congressional office, and as a result I allowed a workplace culture to take root in my office that was too permissive and decidedly unprofessional,” Mr. Farenthold said.
“It accommodated destructive gossip, offhand comments, off-color jokes,” he went on, adding, “and I allowed the personal stress of the job to manifest itself in angry outburst and too often a failure to treat people with the respect that they deserved. That was wrong.”
Gee ya think?
By the way that "I'd never served in public office before" excuse is extremely weak.
Farenthold was first elected in 2010, when he was about 49 years old.
He was a fucking adult! He was not some frat boy who suddenly got to play Congressman for a day.
By 49 years old you should know not to talk about your female employee's boobs, get shit faced on the job, and act like an out of control asshole to your staff.
As it turns out Farenthold may have been given a little shove by Speaker of the House, and Eddie Munster lookalike, Paul Ryan.
Courtesy of CNN:
Rep. Blake Farenthold, who's under fire for accusations of sexual harassment, is not planning to run for re-election, a Republican source familiar with situation told CNN on Thursday.
House Speaker Paul Ryan spoke with Farenthold, a Texas Republican, twice late Wednesday. Rep. Steve Stivers, who chairs the House campaign arm, also met with Farenthold.
"Look, I had a couple of conversations with Blake Farenthold," Ryan said at his weekly news conference. "I think he's making the right decision to retire. There are new stories that are disconcerting. Unacceptable behavior has been alleged in those stories. And I think he's made the right decision that he's leaving Congress. And that reflects on the conversations we've had."
This is now becoming a thing with Ryan who also recently had to give the boot to Trent Franks, who was trying to get at least one of his female staff members to let him plant his demon seed in their womb.
This new role has Ryan talking about leaving Congress as well:
House Speaker Paul Ryan has had soul searching conversations about his future with friends, some of his close friends tell CNN.
Those people close to Ryan told CNN they believe it is possible that he could leave Congress after the 2018 midterm elections, if he can achieve his goal of passing GOP backed overhaul of the US tax system. Some say his departure could possibly happen even sooner. Some friends indicate that Ryan may be suffering from a bout of "Trump-haustion," but others believe there is serious contemplation of leaving Congress in 2018.
Ryan is now denying the accuracy of this reporting, but that is what they all say right before they resign.
So we will see.

Kentucky state representative commits suicide after denying allegations that he sexually molested a 17 year old girl.
Courtesy of WDRB:
Kentucky State Rep. Dan Johnson, who was under investigation for alleged sexual molestation, died of a "probable suicide," the Bullitt County coroner said Wednesday night.
Bullitt County Sheriff Donnie Tinnell said Johnson drove onto the bridge over the Salt River on Greenwell Ford Road in Mt. Washington, parked on the north side of it and shot himself in front of his car. His body was found on the bank of the river, just past the bridge.
Just before 5 p.m. Wednesday, Johnson posted the following message on his Facebook page:
"The accusations from NPR are false GOD and only GOD knows the truth, nothing is the way they make it out to be. AMERICA will not survive this type of judge and jury fake news . Conservatives take a stand. I LOVE GOD and I LOVE MY WIFE, who is the best WIFE in the world,My Love Forever ! My Mom and Dad my FAMILY and all five of my kids and Nine grandchildren two in tummies and many more to come each of you or a total gift from GOD stay strong, REBECCA needs YOU . 9-11-2001 NYC/WTC, PTSD 24/7 16 years is a sickness that will take my life, I cannot handle it any longer. IT Has Won This Life . BUT HEAVEN IS MY HOME. “PLEASE LISTEN CLOSELY, Only Three things I ask of you to do,if you love me is (1)blame no person,Satan is the accuser, so blame the Devil himself. (2) Forgive and Love everyone especially yourself .(3)most importantly LOVE GOD. P.S. I LOVE MY FRIENDS YOU ARE FAMILY ! GOD LOVES ALL PEOPLE NO MATTER WHAT !"
The coroner said police were alerted after someone saw that Facebook post by Johnson. Officers then pinged Johnson's phone and found his body.
Johnson was found dead of a bullet wound, and it appears that his Facebook post is a suicide note, so I do not think that the word "probable" is especially necessary in this case.
Johnson, who called himself the "Pope," was known to post racist images of President Obama and his family on Facebook, and he originally addressed these allegations by denying them and then busting out a Christmas carol.

Victims of Donald Trump's sexual misconduct call for a Congressional investigation.
Courtesy of WaPo:
As the country grapples with a national reckoning over sexual misconduct allegations against powerful men, three women who accused the most high-profile man in America again questioned Monday why their claims did nothing to stop him from winning the presidency.
It was “heartbreaking” for women to go public with their claims against President Trump last year, only to see him ascend to the Oval Office, said Samantha Holvey, a former Miss USA contestant who in October 2016 said Trump inappropriately inspected pageant participants.
“I put myself out there for the entire world, and nobody cared,” Holvey said Monday on NBC's “Megyn Kelly Today” show.
During the television appearance and a news conference, Holvey sat alongside Jessica Leeds, a New York woman who said Trump groped her on a plane, and Rachel Crooks, who said he kissed her on the lips at Trump Tower, to renew their allegations against the president.
The women also called for Congress to investigate these allegations amid the dramatic shift happening nationwide in response to charges of sexual misconduct against men from Hollywood to Capitol Hill. Claims have erupted across industry after industry, against lawmakers and movie stars alike, as the country has shown a sudden, newfound willingness to take such accusations seriously.
In response to the pleas of these women Kristen Gillibrand called for Trump's resignation.
Even his own Ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, said these women deserve to be heard.
That apparently pissed off Donald Trump according to the AP:
Haley’s comments infuriated the president, according to two people who are familiar with his views but who spoke on condition of anonymity because they aren’t authorized to speak publicly about private conversations. Trump has grown increasingly angry in recent days that the accusations against him have resurfaced, telling associates that the charges are false and drawing parallels to the accusations facing Republican Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore.
Poor baby.
Today Sarah Huckabee Sanders' attempts to change the subject seemed especially strained and ineffective.
At some point soon it may simply be impossible for him to continue in that job as more and more people demand an investigation, or that he simply be removed from office.

Anthony Weiner receives 21 months in federal prison after being convicted of sexting with a minor.
Courtesy of CNN:
Former Rep. Anthony Weiner was sentenced Monday to 21 months in federal prison for sexting with a minor.
In addition to the prison term, Weiner also was sentenced to three years of supervised release.
Judge Denise Cote of the Southern District of New York stated that Weiner's sentence carried more importance because of his previous political career.
"Because of the defendant's notoriety, there is intense interest in the defendant's plea and sentence," Cote said in court. "It could make a difference in lives and is a very significant part of this sentence."
She added, "This is a serious crime that deserves serious punishment."
Weiner cried when the sentence was handed down.
Let's face it, this guy is scum.
Not only is he a pig, but his extracurricular activities played a large part in helping Donald Trump win the White House.
No sexting with children, would have meant no investigation, and no last minute reopening of the Hillary Clinton email case based on what was found on Weiner's laptop.
For that alone he deserves a much longer prison sentence than this.

One day before former president Bill Clinton arrives in New Hampshire to campaign for his wife, Hillary Clinton, she was confronted with questions about allegations involving his sexual history at a town hall meeting in the state on Sunday.
State Rep. Katherine Prudhomme-O'Brien (R) repeatedly interrupted Clinton during the meeting, which was held in a middle school gymnasium.
Prudhomme-O'Brien has for years followed the former first lady, peppering her with questions about allegations of past sexual misconduct by Bill Clinton. The state lawmaker's outbursts startled an otherwise friendly and even-tempered town hall audience. It is unclear whether Clinton was able to hear her comments.
After Prudhomme-O'Brien's third interruption, Clinton responded angrily: "You are very rude, and I'm not ever going to call on you."
Apparently this Prudhomme-O'Brien woman has been on Hillary's ass since at least as far back as 2007. And is now a participant in the Republican tactic to keep Bill Clinton off of the campaign trail undoubtedly out of fear of his persuasive influence over audiences and well documented fundraising abilities.
Of course Donald Trump has given this mud slinging his seal of approval, and demonstrated his own concerns over Bill Clinton.
The worst thing Hillary could do is have her husband campaign for her. Just watch.

Here's the thing, if Bill Clinton was running for office these might seem like reasonable concerns to bring up about his character. But he's not. And remember Hillary was the victim of Bill's philandering, not the perpetrator. The women involved, however many there might have been, were willing participants by most accounts, quite unlike the victims of Bill Cosby's drugging and sexual assault.
It could in fact be argued that Bill's mistresses victimized Hillary, not the other way around.
So I fail to see how this negatively impacts her presidential campaign.

Alaska Army base under investigation for sexual misconduct. This one has pinups!

Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Miley's wife, Tracey, as she appeared in a racy calendar approved by her husband. |
The Army commander of a remote Alaskan base is under investigation for sexual misconduct, after allegedly allowing officers to have affairs and for permitting scantily clad women soldiers to pose for a calendar.
Soldiers at the anti-ballistic missile base claimed Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Miley had created a 'toxic environment' by turning a blind eye to cases of sexual misconduct.
It was claimed that women soldiers at Fort Greely were also being allowed to trade sexual favors for favorable treatment from officers.
Even if sexual misconduct is consensual, the Army forbids commanders to have relationships with their subordinates.
Marco Morales, spokesman for the Space and Missile Defense Command, confirmed the commander was under investigation in an email obtained by Bloomberg.
Incidents of inappropriate sexual relations between officers and soldiers had increased because no disciplinary action was being taken, according to three sources, who spoke to the news agency on the condition of anonymity.
An anonymous complaint was made against Lieutenant Colonel Miley earlier in the year, after he promoted a racy calender featuring his wife Tracey as the August shot, alongside women from the base.
An alleged inappropriate relationship had formed between the soldier who took the photos and one of the soldiers who posed in it.
At first blush this may seem to be less egregious than some of the sexual assaults reported earlier, as it appears that some of the sexual activity was with consent. But if the environment on the base was one in which female military members were sexualized and treated differently depending on their desirability of participation in sexual activities it would be tantamount to them being forced to prostitute themselves in order to gain favor or move forward with their career.
I am by no means a prude, and have often mocked the military for its puritanical views on sex and marriage, but this is not about sex, this is about power. And THAT makes it wrong.
