Former CBS ”Evening News” anchor Katie Couric said Sunday on comedian Bill Maher’s podcast “Club Random” that many of former President Donald Trump’s voters were driven by anti-intellectualism. Couric said, “I’m talking about overall income inequality and even taking race out of it, the huge chasm between the uber, uber, uber wealthy and people who don’t have 400 dollars in and emergency, it has never been such a stark divide.” She continued, “The socio-economic disparities are a lot and class resentment is a lot and anti-intellectualism and elitism is what is driving many of these anti-establishment, which are Trump voters,...

Katie Couric said resentfulness stemming from globalization is driving the anti-establishment Trump voter to the voting booth in an interview with Bill Maher on his podcast 'Club Random.' "I think that is a huge problem that we have to address," Couric said. "Globalization and the transition from an industrial to a technological society. I don't know if you've ever been jealous of what someone else has or resentful. It is such a corroding and bitter, almost vile feeling. I think that when people who are really struggling see people who have everything and are on top of that looking down...

QUESTION: I’ve been with my boyfriend for two years and can imagine us getting married and having a family together. The only issue is that he often likes pictures of other women on Instagram and chats with them. It makes me feel like I’m not enough. I’ve challenged him and he says it’s not cheating and is just a bit of fun. Should I just accept his behavior as part of our relationship? ANSWER: Whether or not this is considered ‘cheating’ is beside the point here. Your boyfriend is doing something that makes you uncomfortable and rather than listen to...

The convicted rapist’s defense team went hard in its opening statements and included taking shots at accuser Jennifer Siebel Newsom. LOS ANGELES—In what was poised to serve as a fresh blow at violent male predators, prosecutors on Monday argued that convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein sexually assaulted several women and used his power to ensure their silence.

Alabama, do not trust Jeff Sessions. He let our Country down. That’s why I endorsed Coach...

Attorney Michael Avenatti said his client might now not come forward against Brett Kavanaugh, and then locked his Twitter public profile from view. After two days of ginning up publicity with the news he has a “100 percent credible” accuser against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, adding that she has “multiple witnesses to corroborate her story” and that she is “willing to take a polygraph,” Avenatti appeared to walk back that assurance in a Tuesday morning tweet. “Let me be clear: We will disclose the client’s name and accusations only when SHE is ready and we have adequate security measures...

Milano, a child actress known for her work in series TV, tweetet her opposition to the NRA, suggesting people vote for candidates who received no NRA money. In video captured by Ben Howe, NRA member Will Haraway asked Milano’s security if he was armed and the man clearly wasn’t amused by the question. “I’m going to ask you to leave,” the guard said repeatedly, physically backing Haraway up by getting in his face. “How far do I have to go?” Haraway asked. “I’m going to need you on the sidewalk,”...

Sen. Kamala Harris said Monday that firing special counsel Robert Mueller is still a “red line” for senators on both sides of the political aisle. “Based on the conversations I’ve had, private conversations I’ve had with colleagues on both sides of the aisle, I do believe that this would be a red line.

Devin Nunes’ memo is that the publication showed a systemwide breakdown and disregard for institutions and process.
