Senator Ben. Sasse (R-NE) called out the “jackassery” in the Senate moments after Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) questioned President Joe Biden’s U.S. Supreme Court nominee, Ketanji Brown Jackson, about her soft sentences for child sex offenders. Sasse spoke about why cameras should not be allowed in the Supreme Court when he noted that “the jackassery we often see around [the U.S. Senate] is partly because of people looking for short term camera opportunities.”

Saturday Night Live took aim at the Congressional hearings against social media giant Facebook in its latest episode Cast member Heidi Gardner played Frances Haugen, the Facebook whistleblower who testified before Congress on Tuesday In the sketch, she has to field questions from Congressmembers about how social media works Sen. Diane Feinstein, played by Cecily Strong, asks her if 2,000 friends on Facebook is a high number Sen. Neely Kennedy also asks her where the algorithm is located and how big it is, while Sen. Ted Cruz asks how he could stop being cyberbullied Lindsey Graham also says he is...

When McConnell cares about something — actually cares about it — we see how quickly his tune changes.Defund sanctuary cities. Defund Planned Parenthood. Build the wall. These are just some of things Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell promises to do when he takes back control of the Senate — that is, if Democrats dare to strike down the filibuster. It’s a great to-do list, the kind of things the conservative base elects Republicans every few years to do. When President Donald Trump took office in 2017 and the GOP controlled both the House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate, though,...

WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump’s lawyers turned the tables on House impeachment managers on Friday, trolling them with footage of Democrats over and over vowing to “fight” or “fight back” against Trump and Republicans to highlight their alleged “hypocrisy.” Impeachment managers used a series of CCTV videos of the Jan. 6 riot to show just how close pro-Trump marauders came to lawmakers and clips of Trump’s speeches to allege he had a history of encouraging violence. But the former president’s counsel came right back at them during their first day of arguments on Friday, accusing them of selectively quoting...

President Trump had a great riff at his rally the other day in Phoenix. It was all about “abolish,” about how the Left wants to abolish the police, ICE, bail, even borders. Trump’s riff is effective because it is true. The Left has gone off the deep end, and they’re taking the Democrats with them. Well, there’s another “abolish” the president can add to his list, and it just might be enough to tip the scales this November. Joe Biden and the Democrats want to abolish America’s suburbs. Biden and his party have embraced yet another dream of the radical...

“Overwhelming” is the only word which properly describes the growing list of 2020 Presidential candidates vying to unseat Donald Trump. To date, there are the officially declared, the yet to declare, and a handful of teetering outliers. The outliers aren’t in the running per se, but in the event no Democrat is able to garner the party nomination, one of them might be persuaded to step up to the podium. The Declared Candidates:Bernie Sanders, Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, Robert O’Rourke, Pete Buttigieg, Corey Booker, Amy Klobuchar, Andrew Yang, Julian Castro, Kirsten Gillibrand, Jay Inslee, Tulsi Gabbard, John Hickenlooper, John Delaney,...

Booker announced the figure in an email to supporters. The sum puts him near the back of the pack in fundraising with roughly 10 months to go before the start of primary voting. Of those candidates that have announced their figures, only the entrepreneur and rank outsider Andrew Yang announced raising less.

Alinsky Rule #13: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.In 2016 Rule #13 was pretty much the Democrats’ only tactic against Donald Trump: to draw him as everything despicable they could think of: stupid, racist, misogynist, fascist, anti-Semetic…and paint his “deplorable” supporters as equally reprehensible reprobates.Unfortunately for liberals that tactic will not work as well in 2020 as Democrats have done everything under the sun to validate the conservative trope that “whatever charge they level against their opponents is precisely what they have been up to themselves.” In fact their antics make PDJT look like the only...

Well, it’s Groundhog day alright.Fake news reports that Punxsutawney Phil did not see his shadow, so Spring is right around the corner. Well I suppose it could happen; anything can happen.In other Groundhog Day news headlines, this just in: Another Democrat guilty of what they accused their opponent of. This one never gets old, does it?Remember that attack ad Ralph Northam ran against Republican Ed Gillespie? Well, as it turns out, the real racist in the race wasn’t Gillespie after all.Top Democrats seemed surprised and outraged by the racist Med-school yearbook picture of Ralph Northam, Governor of the Commonwealth of...

Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), as you know, was the latest Democrat to announce he's running for president in 2020. In his Friday launch video, entitled, "We Will Rise," the senator told his supporters that "the only way we can make change is when people come together." It is full of other declarations like, "In America, courage is contagious."To some Booker may seem inspirational. To others, he's a source of ridicule. Consider his behavior at then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation hearings in September. At one point, Booker was so proud of his questioning that he called himself "Spartacus."White House Counselor...

"""‘They all look alike’? Where’s lib/media outcry over Hillary Clinton’s ‘joke’ about Cory Booker and Eric Holder? [video] """ So it turns out that Hillary Clinton not outright ruling out yet another run at the White House wasn’t even the most objectionable thing she’s said recently.

Democrat New Jersey Senator Cory Booker is now being accused of sexual assault by a man. On Saturday, an anonymous man released a detailed four page document on Twitter, claiming the incident happened when Booker visited his workplace back in 2014. He claims Booker followed him to the bathroom, touched him inappropriately, and approached him for oral sex. The man says he reached out to two lawyers earlier this month disclosing his name, date, location, corroborating evidence, and two possible hearsay witnesses. The reported victim also said watching Booker’s defense of alleged sexual assault victims was “laughably ironic, jarringly cringe-worthy,...

Full Title: BREAKING: Man Steps Forward with Sexual Assault Allegations against Sen. Cory Booker — With Lawyer Response to Gateway Pundit The man claims Booker came to his workplace to speak, met him as he was coming out of the men’s room, and then pulled him back into the restroom and sexually assaulted him.

As hinted at days earlier here at D.C. Whispers, the Senate Judiciary Committee is now preparing to launch a full investigation into the machinations of Christine Blasey Ford’s legal team and the office of Senator Diane Feinstein based upon “…recently uncovered information.” It appears that FBI supplemental investigation into Judge (Justice) Brett Kavanaugh that Senator Feinstein demanded has backfired on her – BIG TIME.

THE FBI PROBE HAS POINTED TO ANOTHER KEY PLAYER AND A LOT OF HIGH LEVEL COORDINATION IN THE ASSAULT ON JUDGE KAVANAUGH The many problems with credible Christine’s testimony and the well-connected beach friend. Sen. Grassley has fired off another blistering letter to credible Christine Ford’s lawyers demanding evidence and communications. At the same time, ‘witness’ Leland Keyser says she was pressured to alter her statement, allegedly by the suspicious former FBI agent Monica McLean, the one Christine Ford allegedly helped prepare for a polygraph. Did Chucky leak? It is now looking like the leaker could have been someone tied...

8:20 p.m. During his rally, President Donald Trump also poked fun at Democratic Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey, considered a possible challenger to Trump in 2020. Booker is a former mayor of Newark, the state's largest city. Trump told the crowd that Booker "ran Newark, New Jersey into the ground" and asked: "now he wants to be president?" "What was the moment he said he had?" When the crowd yelled back, "Spartacus," Trump said: "I don't think so. I think we take Kirk Douglas in his prime." Douglas starred as Spartacus in a movie about the leader of a...

When you turn a Supreme Court confirmation into a national political campaign don’t be surprised when a circus breaks out. Circus MaximusA few random thoughts from yesterday’s performance:Poor, poor Christine Blasey, I believe that something happened to her sometime, somewhere; perhaps that explains why she seems such a seriously disturbed woman for her age. But those bleary glasses can’t possibly help her see the truth any better. I don’t think she should be teaching college at all let alone psychology. Sheesh. Fog of whores?And everyone seemed surprised that a righteous man unjustly accused of despicable acts could get righteously angry....

Once upon a time, Corey Anthony Booker seemed like “a statesman.” As mayor of Newark, New Jersey, he talked to everybody, made deals, comported himself with dignity. He stood out from the pack; he was seen as an up-and-comer. Yet move him to the Senate and place him in front of national cameras? He has become something of a loon. “This is about the closest I’ll probably ever have in my life to an ‘I am Spartacus’ moment,” he said, referring to his leakage of confidential information about Supreme Court nominee Brett Michael Kavanaugh during this week’s hearings. Say what?...
