The President of the University of Southern Maine is putting the brakes on a course that would have given students a college credit for protesting Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. Women’s Studies Professor Susan Feiner attempted to offer a “pop-up course” that would allow USM undergraduate students to take a free bus trip to Washington D.C. Wednesday night. They would have been traveling with protesters and sexual assault survivors asking Senator Susan Collins to oppose Kavanaugh. “This is an opportunity for students to see history in the making,” said Feiner. It’s not clear how many students received the email advertising...

Some 200 protesters march across the lawn of the U.S. Capitol to the foot of the south wing. Inside, the U.S. Senate is wrapping up its debate, hours before the Saturday afternoon vote to confirm Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Members of the crowd rush up the steps, unfurl professionally printed banners, stand defiantly, and pump their fists in the air. “Whose house?” they shout. “Our house!” they answer. By the time of the vote, they’ve moved across the street to the Supreme Court building. After getting word of the vote, again they rush the steps. Two women climb the statues flanking...

I was in the Senate gallery this afternoon when Justice Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed. You would have thought I was at an exorcism in an insane asylum. Perhaps you were watching on television and heard the disruptions, though you certainly didn’t see them. The attenuated audio probably didn’t catch the frightening, incoherent shrieking – including the lingering screaming and howling as they were being dragged down the hallways outside the gallery. ... The first example came when Senator Cornyn rightfully railed against the mobs who spent the last three weeks assaulting and assailing Kavanaugh supporters. “Mob rule is necessary,” one...

Vice President Mike Pence refused to cower in the face of hostile leftist protesters who swarmed the Capitol Building after the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Instead of exiting through a back door, Pence chose to leave the building from the front, where an angry mob had gathered to screech “Shame! Shame! Shame!” to protest Kavanaugh’s confirmation. In an unforgettable coup de grâce, Pence cheerfully waved to the motley crew of unruly leftists as he made his stylish exit. . . . This liberal protester pictured below threatened to kill Brett Kavanaugh and President Trump. “I’d shoot that...

If such behavior becomes the new normal, we’ll all be in trouble. This last week, left-wing bullies shouted down senators in the hallways of the capitol, stormed senatorial offices, and generally endeavored to “occupy” Congress as they once did Wall Street — all to force members of the Senate to reject Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court. Among the many disgraces of the two weeks since Christine Blasey Ford’s accusation of sexual assault was leaked to the press, the bad behavior of protesters on Capitol Hill may seem low on the list. But it is something that we should...

(National Sentinel) Game, Set, Match: The Democrats showed their true colors — again — over the past two weeks by debasing the judicial confirmation process with gutter accusations of sexual misconduct by non-credible accusers. It was the Left’s latest effort at destroying yet another institution — another pillar of government — by turning the process into a nightmare few people will want to subject themselves to in the future. Nevertheless, thanks to the insanity, Republicans had a good week, as noted by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. In an interview with Fox News‘ Laura Ingraham Friday night after the...

Hundreds of protesters stormed the U.S. Capitol steps Saturday afternoon to protest the looming vote on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. They yelled “Shame!

Olivier Knox, the association's president, says Trump's campaign told him the actions were those of an "inexperienced volunteer, who understands that he acted in error." Knox says the campaign "promises that this will not happen again."(continued)

Derangement on steroids! Leftist actress Rose O’Donnell actually told CNN’s Chris Cuomo that the thousands and thousands of people at Donald Trump rallies are there because “they are paid, Chris. . . . He pays people to show up at those rallies.” She just flat out says, “Those are not real rallies.” Yes, Rosie, you will be sad to know they are VERY real, and support for Donald Trump is far deeper than someone like you could ever understand. There are millions and millions of us who support a President who loves America and is not ashamed to say so,...

A notable company that is following suit is Facebook.

Lawmakers would bring students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School to Capitol Hill for the summer.
