According to a report by Daily Post, on Friday, the White House barred a few news networks from its press briefing, as President Donald Trump continues to fight against those who allegedly spread “fake news.”
CNN, the New York Times, Buzzfeed, the Los Angeles Times and Politico were all denied access.
The briefing was said to be an “informal” session that’s on the record, but without cameras televising the event.
However, NBC, ABC, CBS, and Fox, Breitbart, the Washington Times, and One America News Network were all given access. The Associated Press and Time reportedly boycotted the briefing.
Editor-in-chief of BuzzFeed News, Ben Smith in a statement, said: “While we strongly object to the White House’s apparent attempt to punish news outlets whose coverage it does not like, we won’t let these latest antics distract us from continuing to cover this administration fairly and aggressively.”
The president of the White House Correspondents Association, Jeff Mason, said they will discuss the development.
“The WHCA board is protesting strongly against how today’s gaggle is being handled by the White House,” Mason, who is also Chief of White House correspondent for Reuters, said.
Executive editor of the New York Times, Dean Baquet, also issued a statement to the paper.
He said: “Nothing like this has ever happened at the White House in our long history of covering multiple administrations of different parties,” Baquet said in the statement. “We strongly protest the exclusion of The New York Times and the other news organizations. Free media access to a transparent government is obviously of crucial national interest.”
Although, a White House communications official has denied that the publications had been blocked.

Going makeup free has been quite a trend recently and more than just a few a-list celebs have been pictured out with a makeup free face. If you are going to go with no makeup, you will need to take good care of your skin and there are some other disadvantages that you may not have thought about too. On the other hand, why should you have to wear makeup if you don’t want to? To help you make your own mind about going makeup free, here are ten of the pros and cons of not wearing any makeup at all.
1. Pro – You learn to appreciate yourself more
After wearing makeup every day for a long time, you can come to believe that you have to wear makeup to “be you”, but of course, that is simply not true. If you go without wearing makeup, you might just come to appreciate yourself more for who you are and that can be a very empowering and liberating feeling.
2. Con – You will look paler in photographs
Unless you take proper care of your skin, you will probably look quite pale in photographs without any makeup on at all. You can get naturally glowing skin without using blusher and bronzer, but you are going to have to be a lot more careful about what you eat and drink and making sure that you get your beauty sleep every night.
3. Pro – it won’t take you so long to get ready
On the good side, you won’t need to get up so every morning because you won’t have to worry about perfecting your makeup every day. That means that you can grab an extra hour in bed and your morning won’t be so fraught. You might even get time to relax a bit in the mornings and east some proper breakfast.
4. Con – You won’t be able to hide flaws
Without makeup, you will have no way of hiding blemishes or flaws, which is why skin care will be so important. No one’s skin is absolutely perfect, so if you have become addicted to that flawless look, you are going to have to accept that even the tiniest of little flaws are going to be on display when you don’t wear any makeup.
5. Pro – It’s an amazing confidence booster
If you can get over the feeling of being ‘naked’, not wearing makeup can be an incredible confidence booster. It shows the world that you are proud of whom you are and that you don’t feel any need to cover yourself up with makeup. It also shows people that you are an independent type of girl who can make up her own mind about how she wants to look.
6. Con – You might feel left out of conversations
If you go for any length of time without wearing makeup, it won’t be long before you don’t even know what the latest makeup trends are. That could make you feel a little bit left out of the conversation when your friends are all talking about makeup.
7. Pro – Your skin will get clearer
Your skin will really thank you for not wearing makeup and, the longer you go without makeup, the clearer your skin will become. As time goes by, your pores will become unclogged and your skin will start to look fresher, because it can breathe people all day long. You’ll still have to exfoliate and moisturise, but that’s a lot easier and much better for your skin than covering up flaws every day with makeup.
8. Con – You will have no emergency fall back
When you stop wearing makeup, you will no longer have any way to hide things in an emergency. If you have a pimple that flares up during the day, there will be no quick touch up in the restroom to cover it up. Likewise, if you stayed out all night the night before, everyone is going to be able to see just how tired you really are.
9. Pro – You’ll save some money
It is estimated that the average American woman spends $15,000 on beauty products in the course of their lifetime and much of that is spent on cosmetics. That’s going to be a lot of money that can spend on treating yourself if you stop wearing makeup.
10. Con – No more transforming your looks
While you might save a lot of time and money by not wearing makeup, you won’t be able to transform your look either. Experimenting with makeup and trying out new ideas can be great fun and it can completely change the way you look, so you might miss all that if you go makeup free.
Stay beautiful!

Protein is an important substance found in every cell in the human body. In fact, except for water, protein is the most abundant substance in your body. This protein is manufactured by your body utilizing the dietary protein you consume. It is used in many vital processes and thus needs to be consistently replaced. You can accomplish this by regularly consuming foods that contain protein.
Repair and Maintenance
Protein is termed the building block of the body. It is called this because protein is vital in the maintenance of body tissue, including development and repair. Hair, skin, eyes, muscles and organs are all made from protein. This is why children need more protein per pound of body weight than adults; they are growing and developing new protein tissue.
Energy
Protein is a major source of energy. If you consume more protein than you need for body tissue maintenance and other necessary functions, your body will use it for energy. If it is not needed due to sufficient intake of other energy sources such as carbohydrates, the protein will be used to create fat and becomes part of fat cells.
Hormones
Protein is involved in the creation of some hormones. These substances help control body functions that involve the interaction of several organs. Insulin, a small protein, is an example of a hormone that regulates blood sugar. It involves the interaction of organs such as the pancreas and the liver. Secretin, is another example of a protein hormone. This substance assists in the digestive process by stimulating the pancreas and the intestine to create necessary digestive juices.
Enzymes
Enzymes are proteins that increase the rate of chemical reactions in the body. In fact, most of the necessary chemical reactions in the body would not efficiently proceed without enzymes. For example, one type of enzyme functions as an aid in digesting large protein, carbohydrate and fat molecules into smaller molecules, while another assists the creation of DNA.
Transportation and Storage of Molecules
Protein is a major element in transportation of certain molecules. For example, hemoglobin is a protein that transports oxygen throughout the body. Protein is also sometimes used to store certain molecules. Ferritin is an example of a protein that combines with iron for storage in the liver.
Antibodies
Protein forms antibodies that help prevent infection, illness and disease. These proteins identify and assist in destroying antigens such as bacteria and viruses. They often work in conjunction with the other immune system cells. For example, these antibodies identify and then surround antigens in order to keep them contained until they can be destroyed by white blood cells.(Source: Healthyeating.sfgate.com)

Republican and transgender activist, Caitlyn Jenner, who was a great supporter of Donald Trump is speaking out against President Donald Trump‘s latest move to lift Federal protections for transgender students, which President Obama ordered. Obama’s Federal order stated that transgender students should be allowed to use public school bathrooms that matched their chosen gender identity. President Trump rolled back the order and gave the authority to states to decide on what to do.
Apparently, Caitlyn Jenner missed the part which said it was up to each individual state to either allow transgender people use any bathroom or not because, Jenner released a video statement on various social media platforms lashing out at the President, saying he should call her. She said :
“ I have a message for the trans kids of America: You ’re winning. I know it doesn’ t feel like it today or every day, but you’re winning,” Jenner said . “ Very soon, we will win full freedom nationwide and it’s going to be with bipartisan support. You can help by checking out the National Center for Transgender Equality and letting Washington hear you loud and clear”
Watch the video below:
Well @realDonaldTrump, from one Republican to another, this is a disaster. You made a promise to protect the LGBTQ community. Call me. http://pic.twitter.com/XwYe0LNUOq

Osinbajo visits the airport days after he began a 60-day move, through the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC) he chairs, to strengthen the Nigerian economy.
Accompanied by Hadi Sirika, the minister of state for Aviation, acting President was said to have found out that the carousels in the arrival hall were not functioning. He also discovered that air-conditioners and chillers in the departure and arrival halls were not working. Apart from this, the escalators and elevators were non-functional.
He also declared reportedly declared an urgent task to correct many of the problems already identified by the council.
“As part of our work on the Ease of Doing Business, on making the environment friendly, not just for local businesses but also for those who want to come and do business in Nigeria, the airport obviously is one of the major places where we need to ensure that facilities are working and that things are being run properly.
“So we have looked around, we’ve seen some of the equipment.
“There are many many things that need to be done, many things that need to be corrected, and we have to work on them as quickly as possible,” he was quoted by the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) as saying.
Osinbajo had said on earlier in the week: “We are trying to improve the business environment in three broad respects; the entry and exit of goods, the entry and exit of persons into Nigeria, and then general government transparency and efficiency in government agencies & parastatals.”

Vera Sidika, the glamorous Kenyan video vixen, socialite famous for her sponsor relationships went on a rant earlier today on social media and advised fellow young ladies involved in sponsor relationships. She had just left the XS Millionaires club in Nairobi where she’s a regular host.
I can’t sleep when I come late from the club. Where is the sleep? So let’s do some pillow talk.
I think there are 2 types of people. There is street smart and there is book smart. Some are streetsmart and booksmart.
The spirit of the hustler is ridiculously amazing. There is no way a girl will f**king go on social media and post her sponsors. How do you go post your source of income? It is f**king ridiculous. Don’t post your sponsors on instagram or social media. Why should you do such a thing? I’m not saying it’s bad or anything, but this is free advice, dont do it unless you want the next b*tch to cash your cheque. Roger that.Never met a smart lady who will post her sponsors’ pictures. It’s the dumbest thing you can ever do. I will never post my sponsors on Instagram or anywhere; in all the sponsor relationships I’ve had. I have never done it and will never do. If its your boyfriend and you are in a serious relationship, then its OK.
There is a difference between boyfriend and sponsor. You can post your boyfriend, I mean you’re in love and relationships and all – but you can’t post your sponsors, you are going to lose your cheque!
I have dated younger guys, footballers, basketballers, executives, billionaires and normal people. I never post their pictures and none of my friends knew I was in those relationships. Interesting right? Not even the bloggers and their blogs, they didnt know, that’s the way I decided to keep it. Not asking you to enter sponsor relationships, but if you are in such a relationship, keep it on the low
If you want to do the social media, instagram, facebook thing; do it with your boyfriend. Then that’s ok.
On haters, Vera “QueenVB” Sidika goes,
Let’s be real girls, we’ve all been in some sponsor relationship or the other or intend to be in one
This rubbish of women calling other women hoes gotta stop. She’s not a hoe simply because her relationship treats her better than your man does. This is 2017, let’s empower each other.
Just because he pays your rent and gives you some upkeep doesn’t make you any less of a hoe, you choose barter trade. Let’s stop calling each other names simply because the levels ain’t the same.
Vera Sidika was in the news in June last year for posting the picture of a sponsor which turned out to be fake.
Now this is some deep advice for people in some deep games. Those who need it know themselves.
Share your thoughts in the comments.
