Do you wanna?

I hear your heartbeat, heartbeat, heartbeat
Playing with my mind
Oh, I need you wrapped around me
Just like I be on a veil
But now I’m only lonely, lonely
Holding on to you
Do you want to take me tonight
Do you want to make me at night
Do you want to, if you want to, take what you need

EISSA. Janet Jackson gives birth to a son at age 50. “A birth is the epitome of stress to me. But maybe it really was a stress-free birth. Maybe Tia La Toya entered the delivery room and sang so gorgeously that Janet was lulled into a trance as Baby Eissa immediately slipped out of her body to get a better listen to the beautiful sound he was hearing.”
TRUMP’S SCOTUS. A closer look at his potential nominees.
CHEVY CRUZE. General Motors responds to Trump attack: “General Motors manufacturers the Chevrolet Cruze sedan in Lordstown, Ohio. All Chevrolet Cruze sedans sold in the U.S. are built in GM’s assembly plant in Lordstown, Ohio. GM builds the Chevrolet Cruze hatchback for global markets in Mexico, with a small number sold in the U.S.”
General Motors is sending Mexican made model of Chevy Cruze to U.S. car dealers-tax free across border. Make in U.S.A.or pay big border tax!

BIGLY BILLIONS. Kellyanne Conway headed to NYC to fundraise for Trump.
NEW YORK. Governor Andrew Cuomo proposes free tuition at New York State colleges: “Under the governor’s plan, any college student who has been accepted to a state or city university in New York — including two-year community colleges — will be eligible provided they or their family earn $125,000 or less annually. Mr. Cuomo, a Democrat, unveiled his proposal at an event at LaGuardia Community College in Queens alongside Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, who had sought their party’s presidential nomination with a similar stance last year, arguing that student debt was crippling the prospects of generations of young Americans.”
IMPOSSIBLE ARCHETYPE. A new LGBTQ poetry journal is accepting submissions.
RIP. The world’s oldest known orca: “The killer whale, who was affectionately known as Granny, is estimated to have been 105-years-old at the time of death. She was last spotted on 12 October in the Haro Strait – but scientists have now lost hope that they will ever see her again.”

TITANIC. Journalists says on-board fire weakened hull: “While the cause of the disaster has long been attributed to the iceberg, fresh evidence has surfaced of a fire in the ship’s hull, which researchers say burned unnoticed for almost three weeks leading up to the collision.While experts have previously acknowledged the theory of a fire on board, new analysis of rarely seen photographs has prompted researchers to blame the fire as the primary cause of the ship’s demise.”
MAN’S BEST FRIEND. Firefighter adopts dog he posed with for calendar. “A hunky Charleston firefighter posed for an animal society calendar, but he wasn’t expecting to meet his new best friend.”
SLOW SCIENCE. Some dinosaur eggs took six months or more to hatch: “Scientists reported on Monday that by using a new technique on exceedingly rare fossils of unhatched dinosaur embryos, they determined that those embryos took twice as long to hatch as bird eggs of a similar size. The embryo of a large duck-billed dinosaur took at least six months to hatch, and the eggs of larger dinosaurs may have taken even longer.”
UNIVERSAL GRILL. Kenneth Walsh looks back on a NYC favorite.
CHINA. Transgender man wins wrongful dismissal case: “The man, who would only be identified as Chen, was illegally fired after just a week on the job at a medical clinic in south-west China, a court ruled. But the judge stopped short of forcing the company to apologise and did not say Chen’s dismissal was related to his gender identity. He was also awarded 2,000 yuan (£234), a month’s wages, in the 30 December ruling.”

‘Sisters Wives’ daughter comes out as a lesbian to shocked family
Mariah Brown, via TLC, Facebook.
TLC’s “Sister Wives” started the year off with a much hyped reveal, as Kody and Meri Brown’s 21-year-old daughter, Mariah, came out to the family as a lesbian.
“Okay,” she said, taking a deep breath, clearly nervous. “I’m gay.”
Her family, who follow Mormon fundamentalism, which is not supportive of the LGBTQ community generally, appeared shocked by the news.
Her father appeared to take the news better than her mother, who can be seen in a clip from the episode below crying and saying, “I thought I knew my daughter. I didn’t.”
“We’re not happy that Mariah is gay,” Kody explains to his wife. “We’re happy that she knows herself.”
Mariah tweeted out thanks for the support she was receiving from fans and well-wishers.
wow okay y’all making me cry with your support. thank you thank you thank you thank you??????

The family told HuffPost Live in a 2013 interview that they are supportive of same-sex marriage, and that adults should be able to “structure their family” however they want.
Watch Mariah come out in the video below.
NAACP Sits In at Sen. Jeff Sessions Office Until He Withdraws from AG Consideration or They Are Arrested
The NAACP is holding a sit-in at Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions’ office until he withdraws from consideration for Attorney General or they are arrested.
The @NAACP & @AlabamaNAACP are occupying the Mobile office of @jeffsessions–untill he withdraws as a AG nominee or we’re arrested.@tvonetv pic.twitter.com/7uceDDpz1Y

Sessions was the U.S. attorney in Mobile in the mid-1980s when then-President Ronald Reagan nominated him for a federal judgeship. But the nomination failed amid allegations that Sessions made racist remarks toward a colleague, said the Ku Klux Klan was “O.K.” until he learned that members smoked marijuana and that he called the NAACP and liberal organizations “un-American” and “communist-inspired.”
“As a matter of conscience, the NAACP has chosen not to remain silent on this critical matter,” Birmingham NAACP head Hezekiah Johnson said outside Sessions’ Senate office in Birmingham. “Our main concern is centered around the reality of voter suppression. We have found no evidence of his ability, past or present, to be impartial and unbiased as the chief law enforcement officer of the United States of America, especially in the areas of civil rights, voting rights and equal protection under the law.”
Watch some Facebook video of the sit-in:
