Former California Democrat Rep. Katie Hill admitted she “cried for a few days” after Republican Mike Garcia won last week's election to take the seat she left in 2019, following a scandal involving her relationship with an aide.

Garcia had no political experience but beat out Democratic California assemblywoman Christy Smith, who had Democratic Party support and an endorsement from former President Barack Obama. . . . “So yeah it really hurt to have my old seat flip back to Republican-for a ton of people & also for me,” Hill tweeted Sunday. “In fact, it was pretty ******* devastating. I went offline & cried for a few days but, as always, getting ready to stand back up & keep fighting. Hope you are too.” “Onward,” the former congresswoman added with a heart emoji.

Melisandre actress Carice Van Houten told Insider that she now questions her nude scenes in "Game of Thrones" because of the Me Too Movement. Insider spoke to the Red Witch via Zoom in lockdown, which Van Houten is spending with her three-year-old son in Amsterdam. And Van Houten said that while her opinion on the divisive final season of the HBO show hasn't changed — she loved it — she has rethought the necessity of the nudity in the show. "When the Me Too movement started, that's when it started sinking in for me," Van Houten told Insider. "And it...

Shocking celebrity PSA just dropped against Joe Biden - calling out his long history of abuse toward women. Stunning Obama cameo...

Noted Maverick Mark Cuban is a fan of Donald Trump's presidential candidacy. And, writing on something called Cyber Dust, Cuban succinctly and effectively explained the Trumpian appeal. Here it is: I don't care what his actual positions are. I don't care if he says the wrong thing. He says what's on his mind. He gives honest answers rather than prepared answers. This is more important than anything any candidate has done in years. That's a remarkable admission. "I don't care what his actual positions are," Cuban said. "I don't care if he says the wrong thing." And, it affirms my...

Mark Cuban, the unhinged star of Shark Tank and Hillary Clinton Fanboy, apparently has a dark and disturbing past of abusing and sexually accosting women. Cuban, who promoted teen porn series “Girls Gone Wild,” and is also famous for saying that he’d “cross the street if he saw a black person in a hoodie,” is Hillary’s VIP GUEST at Monday’s debate. It’s disturbing that she would invite someone with a dark and disturbing anti-woman past – however, it gets worse. A recently uncovered photo of Mark Cuban pulling a woman’s hair, while exposing himself has emerged.

An attorney for a former employee of the American Airlines Center in Dallas wants to depose Mavericks owner Mark Cuban regarding allegations of racial discrimination, including an incident involving a noose found at the arena in 2011. Michelle Newsome was fired last year after 13 years with the Arena Operating Company, which manages the American Airlines Center, and she filed a petition Thursday in Dallas County indicating she’s “seeking information regarding Cuban’s knowledge of and/or passive or active encouragement of [or conspiracy regarding] sexual harassment and race discrimination that has been occurring at AAC and adversely affecting employees,” the Dallas...

Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said allegations of rampant sexual misconduct at the team's workplace were "abhorrent," as the entrepreneur and his NBA franchise come under increased scrutiny after Sports Illustrated's explosive exposé. Cuban told SI the reports were “all new to me."

Crooked Hillary may be starting to regret her little stunt to put Mark Cuban in the front row of tomorrow night's debate.

Did Joe Biden just destroy the premise of his presidential campaign? In a single moment in a Thursday night television interview, the former vice president encouraged a significant number of his supporters to abandon him. He also undercut his main argument against President Donald Trump. Mike Memoli reports for NBC News: Former Vice President Joe Biden, after again emphatically denying the claim of a former staffer that he sexually assaulted her nearly three decades ago, acknowledged for the first time Thursday the dilemma now facing some potential supporters in November, saying: “They should vote with their heart.” “If they believe...

Harriet Wrye did a double take the first time she saw Tara Reade on television lodging sexual assault allegations against Joe Biden. “Jim, that’s Tara,” the 79-year-old author and psychologist called out to her husband, “but she has a different name.” Wrye and her husband knew Reade as Tara McCabe, the woman who had rented a yurt on their 12-acre California property and tended to the couple’s horses — and her own — for about 10 months beginning in 2017. They were well-acquainted with their former tenant, who frequently knocked on the door of their home seeking emotional support, asking...

Former Vice President Joe Biden has offered a plan the will create a $50-million federal fund to make sure that individuals who are survivors of domestic or sexual violence have advocates to defend them. The proposed fund is presented as part of “The Biden Plan to End Violence Against Women.” . . . “Victim advocates based in community organizations or in local law enforcement systems play an invaluable role by giving individualized attention to victims and helping them navigate the process, explore options and access services,”

Three judges–all men–wrote three separate but nearly identical opinions concluding it's not a crime in Tennessee to film fully clothed women without their consent if they're in public. The issue arose in the case of an admitted sexual deviant who was convicted of unlawful photography and admitted he stalked women in retail stores and filmed their "private areas" for sexual gratification. Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals Judges D. Kelly Thomas Jr., James Curwood Witt Jr. and Thomas T. Woodall collectively and separately tossed out unlawful photography convictions against the Sullivan County man, who has a history of public indecency charges....

Despite evidence supporting charges that he raped a subordinate in 1993, Joe Biden deserves the benefit of the doubt. Or he would deserve it, were he not such a hypocrite as to deny that benefit to others. In 2011, the Obama administration, in which Biden was a boastfully proud member, released a “Dear Colleague” letter instructing colleges and universities on how to handle sexual assault allegations under Title IX. In practice, this "guidance" threatened to withdraw federal funds from colleges that failed to convict and expel all students accused of sexual assault. Biden enthusiastically supported the measure. Anyone can make...

You can say goodbye to the #MeToo movement. It had a good three-year run, but inevitably, hypocrisy and political expediency caught up with it.

I had not seen the FULL interview posted anywhere (only bits & pieces), so here it is, from YouTube. The interview has a lot of new details of harassment in Biden's office and discusses other people who knew (uses first names only). I find Ms. Reade totally believable. She makes eye contact and addresses every question. Looks like the reason we did not hear more from her earlier is because she had a child, had a bad marriage with domestic violence she ended with a restraining order and a change of identity, then went to law school and became a...

Joe Biden sex-assault accuser Tara Reade said she used to be a die-hard Barack Obama supporter — but she has left the Democratic Party after the blowback to her claims against the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. Reade, who has accused Biden of sexually assaulting her in his Senate office in 1993, said she voted for Obama for president in 2008 and 2012 — but now feels she has no party to turn to. “I’m leaving the Democratic Party and I won’t be part of any,” Reade said during an interview with Megyn Kelly published in its entirety Friday. “I won’t...

Writing in the New York Times, Linda Hirshman says she believes Tara Reade but she’ll vote for Joe Biden anyway because of Donald Trump. Yesterday in a New York Times column Linda Hirshman said she believes Tara Reade, but she’s going to vote for Joe Biden anyway because anything is better than Donald Trump. That is to say, she believes Biden sexually assaulted Reade in a locker room when Reade worked on his Senate staff years ago. It’s nonsense at this point to try to discount or denigrate every new corroborating witness who comes forward to bolster Reade’s claim, Hirshman...

Former Vice President Joe Biden said Wednesday that if he’s elected president, he will reverse a rule issued by Education Secretary Betsy DeVos aimed at bolstering protections for students who are accused of sexual assault on university campuses. In a statement, Biden said the new rule was an effort by the Trump administration to “shame and silence” survivors of sexual assault. “It’s wrong,” Biden said. “And, it will be put to a quick end in January 2021, because as president, I’ll be right where I always have been throughout my career — on the side of survivors, who deserve to...
