Over a career in elected public office lasting more than 46 years, Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. has seen campaigns from the rudimentary, family-run effort that first launched him unexpectedly to the U.S. Senate as a 29-year-old to the sophisticated, data-driven juggernaut that helped elect him and Barack Obama twice to the nation’s highest offices. But rarely has he trusted anything as much as his own gut instinct, attuned to the middle- and working-class sensibilities of his former neighbors in towns like Scranton, Pa., and Claymont, Del.

Hillary Clinton and top aide Huma Abedin were pictured together on Thursday for the first time since losing the presidential election. The pair chatted and Abedin smiled as they walked out of Clinton's office in the Midtown neighborhood of New York City. They had spent five hours inside the office before Abedin and an unidentified woman walked Clinton to a waiting vehicle and sent her on her way with a box of documents.

I'm sure most of you know the original poem upon which this is based, "Casey at the Bat" by Ernest Thayer - often considered one of baseball's greatest writings. The original poem: “Casey at the Bat” by Ernest Lawrence Thayer in 1888. It all started in 1885 when George Hearst decided to run for state senator in California. To self-promote his brand of politics, Hearst purchased the San Francisco Examiner. At the completion of the election, Hearst gave the newspaper to his son, William Randolph Hearst. William, who had experience editing the Harvard Lampoon while at Harvard College, took to...

After months of negotiation with state officials, a Florida woman has finally received a license allowing her to keep her pet alligator. The gentle gator named Rambo is "like a dog" and loves being petted and going for walks on a leash, according to his owner, Mary Thorn, 55, of Lakeland, Florida. Rambo is ... a local celebrity and has been the star of small shows... for a few charities and organizations... The "trained" gator has even been photographed "riding an ATV" along with her on her motorcycle, Thorn said. But earlier this year, in March, the gator garnered national...

VideoIn a year known mostly for mayhem, misfortune, and madness, America’s media quickly proved themselves fit for narrating this first draft of history. All too often, when the news got tough, the TV news got weird. Embarrassingly weird. While picking 10 of the most egregious examples was no easy task, we’ve whittled thousands of clips down to four minutes’ worth that we think represent 2016 in a (really disfigured) nutshell. Without further ado, here are the media’s 10 most mortifying moments of 2016. 10. After Donald Trump’s underdog victory, many in the media looked for scapegoats. But Comedy Central’s Samantha...

It is this solution, brilliant at the time, that leads us to Brearley’s legacy on climate change. Because over the course of the last 200 plus years, the electoral college, which provides for stronger voting power per person in more rural and less populated states, has elected four U.S. presidents who clearly lost the popular vote (1876, 1888, 2000 and 2016). Two of those elections have occurred during the period in which we have known about the causes and impacts of carbon dioxide emissions and climate change and in both cases, the impacts of those elections have very likely had...

In this season of giving, there is one traumatized group we shouldn't forget — the thousands of precious snowflakes who've been personally victimized by the knowledge that they're living in a country soon to be run by someone they didn’t vote for. VIDEO Clip via MRC-TV In their promotion of this hilarious clip, the Media Research Center writes that as a result of the country shifting to the political right,"America's precious young snowflakes lose their minds, and folks, this is no laughing matter!" Kellyanne Conway must have hit a nerve! Earnest not happy after she blasted him for Russia comment...

Like it or not, Donald Trump's face is here to stay. From being named Time magazine's person of the year, to daily coverage of his transitional plans, you can't glance at a news source—let alone social media—without seeing Trump's face several times over. Or can you? With the help of a Google Chrome extension called "Make America Kittens Again" you can find sweet relief, in the form of kittens. The extension finds headlines with Trump's name in them and replaces the associated images with pictures of adorable little furballs snuggling, playing, and being generally kittenish.

Regular Legal Insurrection readers will recognize the name Kurt Eichenwald. A senior writer at Newsweek [which apparently still exists], Eichenwald is a frequent guest on Joy Reid’s MSNBC show, where he can be counted on to spout virulently anti-Republican/Trump views. We’ve chronicled, as here and here, his predilection to burst into disdainful laughter in the face of conservative interlocutors. On MSNBC, Eichenwald’s odd nature had been sheltered in a comfortable cocoon. But on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show of Thursday evening, Eichenwald’s deep weirdness was exposed. The meltdown came when Carlson pressed Eichenwald to answer a simple question: is it...

The Libs are organizing to harass the Electors Monday the 19th. Here is a link to their website with links to each's states details. http://december19.us/ I will be attending mine here in AZ, 10 am local time. Generally, each state’s Electors vote at their respective state capitols. Each state determines whether or not the voting is open to the public. To find out if your state’s meeting of Electors is open to the public and if so, what the process is to view the vote, contact your Governor’s Office or your Secretary of State.

On Wednesday, President-elect Donald Trump added three more high-profile CEOs — Pepsi (PEP) CEO Indra Nooyi, Uber CEO Travis Kalanick, and Tesla (TSLA) CEO Elon Musk — to his Strategic and Policy Forum. “My Administration is going to work together with the private sector to improve the business climate and make it attractive for firms to create new jobs across the United States from Silicon Valley to the heartland,” Trump said in a statement. With Pepsi’s Nooyi on board, expect there to be plenty of discussion about some serious issues. Just two days after the election, Nooyi, a Hillary Clinton...

First lady Michelle Obama stopped in the middle of a public reading of “The Night Before Christmas” on Monday night to advise a group of schoolchildren that Santa Claus has given up smoking his trademark pipe for health reasons. The scene of the reading of the famous anonymous poem was a children’s hospital in Washington, D.C., reports CNSNews.
