ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said he is “100 percent” certain that Christine Blasey Ford named the wrong person when she accused Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault in testimony during his Supreme Court nomination hearings. “This is one of the reasons I chose him is because there is no one with a squeaky clean past like Brett Kavanaugh. He is an outstanding person and I’m very honored to have chosen him,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One while flying to a campaign rally in Kansas. “We’re very honored that he was able to withstand...

Brett Kavanaugh and I differ on most fundamental questions of constitutional law. Nevertheless, as a former dean of the institution where he received his law degree, I have withheld comment on the merits of his appointment. I am proud of the rich diversity of views that Yale Law School has produced. Over the past decade, Kavanaugh has been a casual acquaintance. He seemed a gentle, quiet, reserved man, always solicitous of the dignity of his position as a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. It was therefore with something approaching unbelief that...

A pair of activist comedians followed around Fox & Friends host Brian Kilmeade, lobbing hostile questions at him on Friday. If you are a public figure, after all, you may get questions with or without a camera when you are walking down a public street (In fact, Mediaite has used a roving paparazzi in the past as well). But they didn’t stop there.

You're stressed out. I'm stressed out. We're all stressed out. It's official: New Jersey is the most stressed out state in the U.S. (at least according to a recent report by Zippia). Garden State? More like The Agita State. Is it our long work hours? Having to sit in traffic on Route 1 (probably)? Are there just too many people in this state and we're all driving each other insane?

It’s past five o’clock on a Friday night and you are reading this article as a break from a mountain of work that needs to get done before Monday. You think, well, this is adulting, but at least there is good takeout! But are most Americans pulling all-nighters after graduating college or sitting in traffic for hours a day to get to their jobs? Actually, are many Americans struggling to even find a job?

After complaining that the FBI investigation into Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh was not “thorough” enough to their liking, the hosts of ABC’s The View Thursday went on to bash President Trump, for the second day in a row, for his comments at a rally calling out Kavanaugh’s accuser, Christine Blasey Ford and her memory gaps on the alleged sexual assault encounter. Referencing Don Jr.’s comments that men could be falsely accused, Whoopi lectured that men needed to trust in the system and should want thorough FBI investigations. Host Sunny Hostin added that women had to “teach their sons to...

ATLANTA -- Mike Foltynewicz stood as the great unknown, who occasionally displayed limitless potential, as the Braves spent the past three seasons going through a massive rebuild. But everything changed this year for him and this team that confidently enters the postseason with what appears to be a possible ace. Atlanta manager Brian Snitker did not surprise anyone when he announced Foltynewicz will start Game 1 of the National League Division Series against the Dodgers on Thursday. Los Angeles will counter with Hyun-Jin Ryu.

John Kerry says Ted Kennedy was very different from Kavanaugh: "[Kennedy] stepped up and owned moments where he knew he stepped over the line." [video at link]

During an interview with Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy on Tuesday, MSNBC anchor Andrea Mitchell fretted that the seventh FBI background check into Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh was too restricted. Her hyperventilating over the issue got to a point where she suggested that the Bureau should actually investigate Kavanaugh for being “rude” to Democrats.

Bold faced liars are Unfit for the Senate. Richard Blumenthal is a pathetic case of stolen valor — lying and falsifying his military service. In the early days of "Da Nang Richard's" political career he repeatedly insinuated to voters that he served his country by fighting in the Vietnam War. He did not go to Vietnam. Truth: Da Nang Richard was a reservist who had never been deployed overseas, not once. How ironic that Blumenthal has the gall to insinuate that anyone else is not fit to serve office. How does Connecticut elect a man that has lied to them...

The F.B.I. is currently conducting its investigation into the sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court Justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh. Should they wrap up interviews by Trump’s Friday deadline, the Senate could be voting on Kavanaugh’s confirmation by the end of the week. Before that happens, though, over 20 musicians, authors, actors, and producers will make their voices of dissent heard at a protest dubbed, “Bravery is Contagious.” Set to take place Thursday at 7:00 PM right outside of the Supreme Court, the protest comes in support of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and Deborah Ramirez, two of Kavanaugh’s alleged victims. R.E.M.’s...

President Donald Trump has told reporters that it is a "difficult" and "scary" time for young men in the US. Mr Trump's remarks came as he reiterated his support for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, who is currently facing sexual misconduct allegations by several women. A vote to confirm Judge Kavanaugh has been delayed as the FBI investigates the claims, which he denies. Mr Trump said he believed the Senate would approve the judge. His appointment would be a major victory for the Trump administration as it would be expected to tilt America's top court in favour of conservatives for...

Lana Del Rey is taking a stand against Kanye West‘s support of President Donald Trump. On Sunday, the “Young and Beautiful” singer — who famously performed at the rapper and wife Kim Kardashian West‘s 2014 wedding — left a scathing comment on West’s Instagram post, in which West, 41, posed in a “Make America Great Again” hat and vowed to “abolish the 13th amendment.” “Trump becoming our president was a loss for the country but your support of him is a loss for the culture,” Del Rey, 33, started. “I can only assume you relate to his personality on some...

FULL TITLE: Flake: “Not A Chance” I Would Have Agreed To Reopen Kavanaugh FBI Background Check If I Was Running For Re-Election Call this a Captain Obvious moment in last night’s joint interview on 60 Minutes. Jeff Flake joined his Gang of Two colleague Chris Coons to celebrate bipartisanship in the form of a one-week delay on Brett Kavanaugh’s final confirmation vote. Flake, who will retire from the Senate at the end of the year, laments that there is no incentive to reach across the aisle anymore, and that if he had to stand for election he never would have...

The new pact is a major step toward completing one of the president's signature campaign promises. Trade ministers from the U.S., Mexico and Canada have reached a deal to revamp the North American Free Trade Agreement, the Trump administration announced late Sunday night. The new pact, which is being called the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, is a major step toward completing one of Trump’s signature campaign promises and gives the president a concrete policy win to tout on the campaign trail this fall. It also sets the stage for what is sure to be a high-stakes fight to get the agreement passed...

CNN analyst Jeffrey Toobin on Monday praised Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., for calling for an FBI investigation into sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, a move that will delay his Senate confirmation until later this week. Toobin said Flake deserved credit for the move, after he had previously called Flake "pathetic" for stating that he was ready to confirm Kavanaugh. "I was very critical of Jeff Flake before last week, that he’s big talk, no action," said Toobin. "And I was wrong. He is the person who got this FBI probe going. It was all his initiative....

Senator Hatch Office ✔@senorrinhatch Dems: Dr Ford deserves a hearing! Republicans: Let’s have a hearing! D’s: Bullies! This hearing is a sham! D’s: We need an FBI investigation!

CNN’s John King offered one of the sharpest bits of commentary on Thursday in the aftermath of Brett Kavanaugh’s fiery defense of his reputation. This was the day, King noted, that Kavanaugh went from being a “Bush Republican to a Trump Republican.” If there’s any moment in time that captures the GOP’s evolution from the party’s last president to the current one, the cultural showdown over Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination is it. Kavanaugh, after all, is a card-carrying member of the Republican establishment. He’s a George W. Bush loyalist who served as the former president’s staff secretary after working for...

Brett Kavanaugh Hearing! A Search For Truth Or Witch Hunt Against Civility & Masculinity? Live stream! warning language Tommy is really upset at protesters against Kavanaugh.

They pouted about how the FBI had so far not reached out to Michael Avenatti’s client, the third accuser, Julie Swetnick who ridiculously accused a 17-year-old Kavanaugh of running a “gang-rape” racket in high school. Following’s ABC’s long-held editorial standard of only giving viewers half the information, they omitted how she was sued by a former employer for sexual harassment.
