Companies Cut Ties With NRA: One way to judge the power of a political movement is to watch corporate America

Companies Cut Ties With NRA:
One way to judge the power of a political movement is to watch corporate America. When big companies that serve customers across the political spectrum cut ties with political causes or organizations or take a stand on an issue, it often shows they've made a calculation that, sure, they might upset some customers, but ultimately, it's in their best interest to take a stand. Since Thursday, a wave of companies, including major car rental companies and airlines, have ended discount programs they had with the NRA. They include:
  • The First National Bank of Omaha
  • Enterprise Holdings car rental brands Rent-A-Car, Alamo Rent a Car, National Car Rental
  • Symantec
  • Hertz
  • MetLife
  • SimpliSafe
  • Avis Budget Group car rental brands Avis and Budget Rent a Car
  • Sirva, the parent company of moving-van lines Allied and North American
  • TrueCar
  • Delta Air Lines
  • United Airlines
  • Paramount RX
  • Starkey, a hearing aid company
Omarosa Says Trump Could Come After Her:
Just when you were starting to get used to bombshell revelations about the Trump White House coming in the form of hidden camera reality show confessionals, "Celebrity Big Brother" has come to an end. Omarosa did not win (that honor went to actress Marissa Jaret Winokur, with Ross Mathews coming in second), but she did say she's thinking of spilling more. Omarosa said she's thinking of writing a tell-all, but if she does, she expects Trump will "come after me with everything he has." "I'm going up against a kazillionaire," she said. "So I'll probably end up in court for the next... but I have to tell my truth." She compared leaving the White House to being "freed off a plantation."
Michelle Obama's Memoir Has a Release Date:
It's called "Becoming" and it's set to be released November 13. Obama's publisher, Penguin Random House, called the book "an unusually intimate reckoning from a woman of soul and substance who has steadily defied expectations -- and whose story inspires us to do the same." It will be published in 24 languages and sell for $32.50 in the US.

Tiffany Trump, Hockey Fan:
Ivanka isn't the only winter sports enthusiast in the family, it seems. While her half sister was in PyeongChang, Tiffany was at Saturday's Capitals-Sabres game, but it doesn't appear she was cheering on the home team. Tiffany tagged Sabres' player Evander Kane in one ringside video posted on her Instagram story, and posted a photo with Kane and fellow Sabre Robin Lehner.
