Judge Brett Kavanaugh & Professor Christine Blasey Ford Testify The Senate Judiciary Committee hears testimony from Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh and Professor Christine Blasey Ford about her allegations that Judge Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her while the two were teenagers.

It looks like Mueller’s prosecutors can’t take the heat. Rick Gates, Paul Manafort’s former business associate took the witness stand Monday afternoon in the bank fraud and tax evasion case against Manafort.

We’re having a moment for male tears — no, not the kind that the popular feminist mug metaphorically collects in pursuit of bringing down the patriarchy. We’re talking literal tears that men shed in moments of televised vulnerability. Take the Netflix reboot of “Queer Eye,” just renewed for a second season. Yes, it’s a makeover show with bubbly experts instructing schleppy men on the wonders of slim-cut jeans, five-minute grooming routines, Ikea and avocados. But it’s also a show about men who are stuck and held in place by fear, insecurity, past trauma or rigid norms of what it means...

President Donald Trump took to Twitter Thursday morning to attack former Vice President Joe Biden, declaring that “he is weak, both mentally and physically…he doesn’t know me, but he would go down fast and hard, crying all the way…” Setting aside the reality of a one-on-one cage match between septuagenarians, what stood out to me was Trump’s use of “weak” and “crying.” It was a stark reminder of how trapped Trump is in within his arcane mindset that the only emotions worth showing — if you are a “real man” — are bravado and machismo. I always thought one of...

1. Two antennas met on a roof, fell in love and got married. The ceremony wasn’t much, but the reception was excellent. 2. It’s not that the man did not know how to juggle, he just didn’t have the balls to do it. 3. There was once a cross-eyed teacher who couldn’t control his pupils. 4. The one who invented the door knocker got a No-bell prize. 5. He drove his expensive car into a tree and found out how the Mercedes bends. 6. Show me a piano falling down a mineshaft and I’ll show you A-flat minor. 7. A...

In a society that values emotional suppression, see how this attractive man is being paid to make you weep.Even though numerous animal species shed tears, emotional crying is a uniquely human activity. Regardless of the reason behind it, many people believe that expressing one’s emotions in this way can be both cathartic and healthy. In Japan, entrepreneur Hiroki Terai has even adopted this belief as a business strategy. He is the founder of a group crying service that encourages people to cry together while a “handsome weeping boy” wipes their tears away. Known as rui-katsu or "tear-seeking," the practice is...

Missouri State Senator Maria Chappelle-Nadal hoped for the assassination of President Trump in a Facebook comment on Thursday then deleted it in a panic. She even acknowledged she would get a visit from the Secret Service for her comment. Maria Chappelle-Nadal’s Facebook comment was so egregious that even ABC News reported on the story.   The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports: Missouri state Sen. Maria Chappelle-Nadal, D-University City, posted a comment in a Facebook conversation Thursday morning saying she hoped President Donald Trump will be assassinated. The comment was removed but Chappelle-Nadal confirmed to the Post-Dispatch that she had written it in...

While President Donald Trump’s executive order on immigration has left families wondering when they will see their loved ones again, drawing condemnation from leaders around the globe, the administration’s actions have also impacted another group: career U.S. officials working on asylum and refugee cases as well as foreign policy. "There are people literally crying in the office here," said a senior U.S. immigration official who spoke to The Intercept on condition of anonymity.

What is it? What's up with the all the lachrymose lamentation? It does not compute. In my experience, women, in general, are remarkably tough, more tolerant of pain (maybe childbirth instills it). They physically heal quicker and they outlive us men. GENERALLY speaking. Okay? I'm treading on quicksand here, so please cut me a bit of slack. If you disagree, please feel free to do so without invective. So what's my problem? It's the crying!! I have observed US presidential election results on TV since 1958 and I do not remember people, male or female, crying so openly over election...

Breathing exercises in the Rose Garden and a steady stream of booze got the White House through election night, a communications staffer wrote in a story recounting his experience watching Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton lose. Pat Cunnane had been so confident Clinton would win that when he penciled in plans for former President Barack Obama to meet the president-elect that week, he wrote down her name in his calendar. A few days later, he found himself “ugly crying” in the Oval Office as Obama gave the White House staff a pep talk about President Donald Trump’s stunning victory. Read more:...

Parody based on Roy Oribison's song "Crying" Featuring Hillary Clinton fans and supporters whining and crying and rioting and not accepting a fair Democratic system where President Elect Donald Trump will be our next president!! Written and sung by the Prince Of Parody (Weird Al Being King) Dana Kamide.

EDIT: Owing to too little sleep, I’m sad to report that I misread this report and the bill is in the Iowa state legislature, not Congress. We can only dream I suppose. Hey… could anyone in D.C. work on a matching version? The article has been edited to reflect this.(Jazz) We’ve long since grown used to stories coming from the nation’s college campuses where “safe spaces” are set up for everything from Halloween costumes to the results of the presidential election. But some universities have taken it a step further, setting up special counseling sessions for “grieving” students and additional...

Best Rant Ever! I could not stop laughing....Enjoy

SAN ANTONIO -- Spurs coach Gregg Popovich spoke openly Friday about his frustration with Tuesday night's election of Donald Trump as the country's 45th president. "I'm still sick to my stomach, and not basically because the Republicans won or anything, but the disgusting tenor, tone and all the comments that have been xenophobic, homophobic, racist, misogynistic," he said before the Spurs' home game against the Detroit Pistons. "And I live in that country where half the people ignored all that to elect someone. That's the scariest part of [the] whole thing to me.

Author Ed Klein joined Steve Malzberg on Newsmax TV on Wednesday after Donald Trump shocked the world by winning the US presidency in his first ever political race. Klein said Hillary Clinton called a friend and couldn’t stop crying. She blamed FBI Director Comey and Obama for the loss. Ed Klein: Here’s what I know, not my opinion. About 6:30 this morning she called an old friend. She was crying inconsolably. She couldn’t stop crying. And her friend, her female friend from way, way back said it was even hard to understand what she was saying she was crying so hard. This is Hillary we’re talking about. Eventually her friend...

Social media made him one of the biggest stars of the Democratic National Convention — a man in a “Peter Pan” hat, weeping during Sen. Bernie Sanders’ speech on Monday night. Sean Kehren, 22, a Sanders delegate from Minnesota, may not have been the only die-hard “Bernie Bro” moved to tears, but he quickly became the subject of memes, tweets and other apparatus to mock the emotional showing of supporters at the convention. Blame his choice of hat — a nod to Wall Street’s “Robin Hood tax.” “Sad Robin Hood just needs a minute,” a Twitter user wrote Monday. Despite...

I for one do not like the result of this primary race, but who would after they put their heart and soul into wanting to win. It was a classic battle, but Trump won. Just like military academies teach the logistics of histories greatest battles of war, so too will this epic battle be taught for generations to come by Political Science instructors. The lessons learned will effect the way politicians run their campaigns for decades. Both sides got down and dirty, as they obliterated the detente that made everyone speculate about why the they refused to attack each other...

Dear Glenn, I've been with you since 9-12. I've traveled from Florida to participate in your Restoring Honor event in DC. Your Restoring Love event in Dallas. I've been a paid subscriber to The Blaze TV since you established it (and stuck with it even though I was keenly disappointed when you ended REAL NEWS and replaced it with Goth Girl, who mirror images Megyn Kelly, another snark queen). I've been among your biggest fans for years, but over time I've lost that lovin' feeling, and haven't watched or listened to you as much, finding your views and mine increasingly...

Want to learn how to fake cry like Barack Obama did today as his fascist gun control speech? It’s really quite simple. It’s all acting 101. Below is a video of how Obama faked crying that has since sent the media into a swoon. The same media who routinely mocked John Boehner from crying.
