Sept. 13 (UPI) -- A Los Angeles brewery posted a job opening for someone seeking to "get paid to watch football" at Los Angeles Rams games.

Blonde Ale. "You need to be willing to get paid to watch football, promote the Golden Road brand and all that comes with it," the job posting states. The posting says an ideal candidate will have "1-35+ years tailgating experience" and...

“Brett Kavanaugh should never have been confirmed to the Supreme Court. It was plain to me and many others at the time that the FBI ‘investigation’ into the serious, corroborated allegations of sexual assault by Justice Kavanaugh was a sham. New reporting from the New York Times further proves it. “In normal times, I would call on the Department of Justice’s Inspector General to fully investigate the FBI’s failures in this matter. But these are not normal times. The House Judiciary Committee should immediately begin an impeachment inquiry to determine whether Justice Kavanaugh lied to Congress and why the FBI...

Congressional report Clinton helped pen during Watergate was later used to justify impeaching her husband. Now it's guiding Democrats angling to oust Trump. Darren Samuelsohn is a senior White House reporter for POLITICO. A document Hillary Clinton helped write nearly a half century ago has returned from the dead to threaten the man she couldn’t vanquish in 2016.

Then, unlike now, not a single lawmaker had been alive...

There’s no better place to celebrate a birthday than at the ballpark. Even more so when it’s your first visit. That’s what CP Crawford, of Lansing, Ill., did on his birthday Thursday.

Crawford took a limo from his nursing...

The Seminoles missed a bowl game for the first time in 36 years following a 2018 season that included blowout losses at the hands of Virginia Tech, Syracuse, Clemson, Notre Dame and Florida, and his second season hasn't been much better thus far.

In any case, I cannot see why questions about which the Magisterium...

"It just didn't make any sense," lifelong friend Leland Keyser told New York Times reporters about Ford's allegations, adding "I don't have any confidence in the story." Buried at the end of their new book “The Education of Brett Kavanaugh: An Investigation,” reporters Robin Pogebrin and Kate Kelly quietly admit that Christine Blasey Ford’s lifelong friend Leland Keyser did not believe her friend’s tale of a sexual assault at a party they both supposedly attended.
