Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., is facing heat for attempting to discredit a user on X who said sexual misconduct allegations against Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., who is running for governor, will end up "kick[ing] his a--." Gallego, who has been friends with Swalwell for many years, also defended Swalwell for being "targeted" in a separate post on social media, arguing he is the subject of sexual misconduct allegations because he is "in first place." Swalwell has fiercely denied the allegations being elevated on social media by Democratically-aligned politicos, including Cheyenne Hunt, a former Capitol Hill staffer who is currently a...

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said Thursday that any voter who believes the sexual assault allegations against him shouldn’t vote for him. “I think they should vote their heart and if they believe Tara Reade, they probably shouldn’t vote for me,” Biden said during an interview on MSNBC. “I wouldn’t vote for me if I believed Tara Reade.” Biden has denied Reade’s claim that when she worked for his Senate office in 1993, he pushed her against a wall in a Capitol Hill office building, put his hand up her skirt and sexually assaulted her with his fingers.

The #MeToo movement has ended the U.S. career of legendary 78-year-old Spanish tenor Placido Domingo, one of classical music’s greatest ambassadors and impresarios. For nearly half a century, Domingo’s intense stage presence and warm, soaring voice captivated opera audiences; during the 1990s, he reached millions of new listeners as a member of the itinerant Three Tenors. In recent years, long after most singers have retired from the stage, he has continued a grueling international performance schedule, now singing baritone roles with remarkable pitch control and legato. Domingo’s entrepreneurial drive has been as untiring as his stage career. He was pivotal...

Everyone who already thought the case for President Trump’s impeachment was a slam-dunk went berserk Thursday, claiming that acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney had just admitted to a quid pro quo with Ukraine. Except that what Mulvaney “admitted” is that the administration was doing what it should — pushing a foreign government to cooperate in getting to the bottom of foreign interference in the 2016 campaign. Virtually every media outlet in America — certainly all those that jumped on Mulvaney’s remarks — has spent most of the last three years painting such foreign interference as the blackest...

It was a breath of fresh air to see a president celebrate America yesterday. It has been far too long. The contrast to his political opponents couldn't have been sharper. Where President Trump demonstrated the goodness of our country, the DNC media complex can only accuse and bring up past flaws and sins... as though ours is the only country with a past. The difference: America has been mending her flaws for 200 years... that is unique among nations. It got me to thinking, though. We have already called out the Left for their bloodlust in abortion and the kingdom...

Fake News: All during Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation process we were told by Democrats to suspend belief and suspend a pillar of our legal system — the presumption of innocence until proven guilty — because we must believe the women who accused him of sexual assault. We must believe them sans evidence or corroboration, we were told, because women don’t fabricate claims of sexual assault. Except that, on occasion, they do. And in fact, according to several studies, it happens much more often than most of us have been led to believe.

So is anyone else waiting for a woman to call the Washington Post with a story about Kavanaugh who turns out to be a setup?

She's going public within 36 hours, with evidence and corroborating witnesses, attorney says. Attorney Michael Avenatti says that he has a client with multiple security clearances who will go public this week with further allegations, and evidence, against Brett Kavanaugh. Christine Blasey Ford is slated to testify before Congress on Thursday, and the attorney is warning Republicans that an attack on her integrity would be misplaced because the government has cleared her multiple times for different agencies. Avenatti says he expects her to take her story public within the next 36 hours, as soon as security measures are in place...

well-known women’s rights lawyer sought to arrange compensation from donors and tabloid media outlets for women who made or considered making sexual misconduct allegations against Donald Trump during the final months of the 2016 election, according to documents and interviews. California lawyer Lisa Bloom’s efforts included offering to sell alleged victims’ stories to TV outlets in return for a commission for herself, arranging a donor to pay off one Trump accuser’s mortgage and attempting to secure a six-figure payment for another woman who ultimately declined to come forward after being offered as much as $750,000, the clients told The Hill....

A real probable scenario is that all of the women who accused Moore of sexual misconduct will suddenly disappear from the scene. Mission accomplished. Mitch McConnell can't disappear, but he also bears a huge part of the responsibility for unjustly undermining Moore's campaign. Complete falsehoods were used to win politically. Look at which point in history we have arrived.

An Alabama GOP state representative said Friday that he thinks legal action should be taken against the women who accused Roy Moore of sexual misconduct with a minor. State Rep. Ed Henry told The Cullman Times that he is “not buying” the Washington Post report, which was published with accounts from four women and backed up by 30 sources. The report accused Moore of kissing and sexually touching a 14-year-old girl when he was 32. “If they believe this man is predatory, they are guilty of allowing him to exist for 40 years,” Henry said. “I think someone should prosecute...

The left’s push to remove controversial monuments and statues across the country may be backfiring, as President Bill Clinton’s alleged victims are now demanding a statue of the liberal icon in South Dakota be removed. Left-wing activists, including many top Democratic politicians, have been demanding the removal of statues and monuments of Confederate generals across the U.S. — with some event taking it into their own hands and removing them themselves. But now Juanita Broaddrick, who claims she was raped by Clinton in the 1970’s, is adding a statue of the Democratic icon to the list.

The left-wing media is engaged in attempted character assassination against Sean Hannity as part of their effort to try and destroy the Fox News Channel. Let me speak unequivocally to this point: I stand with Sean Hannity 100%, and these terrible, awful accusations are completely malicious, reprehensible smears by the left-wing media to try and bring down a good and decent man.

Had a plan devised by Donald Trump's son-in-law and campaign chief executive Stephen Bannon gone through, four women who have accused former president Bill Clinton of sexual misconduct would have been seated in Trump's family box during Sunday night's presidential debate. The Washington Post spoke with four people involved with discussions for the scheme, who said it was thought up by Bannon and Ivanka Trump's husband, Jared Kushner, with the personal approval of Donald Trump. Many of Trump's top aides were unaware of the setup, but officials from the Commission on Presidential Debates found out before the debate started and...

Apollo5600: Lin stated that during the alleged time of the affair, Cain was suffering from stage 4 colon cancer. Also states it is ridiculous to convict a man based only on accusations.

Sharon Bialek has had an unfortunate history of mismanaged finances and multiple bankruptcies. Allred never wants her clients challenged for their sins and omissions. Sometimes, it is surreal and it borders upon the equivalent of the pot calling the kettle black. After stirring the pot, Allred frequently does not go so far as to file an actual lawsuit. On numerous other occasions, the celebrity lawyer’s lawsuits filed on behalf of her clients end up being dismissed or voluntarily withdrawn. How does Allred meet her expenses and earn legal fees in these instances? In terms of her behavior, Gloria Allred is...

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Two women who once accused Bill Clinton of sexual misconduct toured his presidential library Wednesday on a trip paid for by the publisher of a book critical of Clinton and his wife Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. Kathleen Willey and Juanita Broddrick criticized what they called a campaign of intimidation meant to silence them after they came forward with their allegations. "If she (Mrs. Clinton) is such a champion of women and women's rights and women's empowerment, then she needs to explain her role in what they tried to do to us," said Willey, a Virginia real...
