Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie slammed former President Trump on Monday for his “awful temperament” in response to his mounting legal challenges. Judge Tanya Chutkan agreed Monday to impose a “narrow” gag order prohibiting the former president from attacking witnesses, prosecutors, court staff and their families involved in his Jan. 6 election interference case. Asked about Trump calling the gag order “unconstitutional,” Christie told former White House press secretary Jen Psaki: “Look, this is the awful temperament of the guy who is currently the front-runner for the domination of my party.”

At this point, even to those who haven't followed the sexual harassment accusations against Brett Kavanaugh from the beginning, are finally realizing that there is nothing there. Either he never did anything at all to Christine Ford (which is by an extreme margin the most likely scenario) or he did do something but it is not supported by anyone other than Christine Ford, even her close friend and others who should have been able to corroborate it if it was true. So, the final argument against Brett Kavanaugh is that he doesn't have the temperament to be a Supreme Court...

More than 650 law professors, including 13 affiliated with Yale Law School and 21 with Harvard Law School, have signed a letter to the Senate arguing that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh should not be confirmed because of his “lack of judicial temperament.” The professors pointed to Kavanaugh’s appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee last week amid allegations of sexual misconduct, where the Yale Law School graduate defended himself and called the attacks a “grotesque and coordinated character assassination.” “The question at issue was of course painful for anyone. But Judge Kavanaugh exhibited a lack of commitment to judicious inquiry,”...

OK, so now that the filthy left are getting the phony investigation they so dearly begged for, does this mean they'll now vote for BK when he's cleared of any wrongdoing? If not, then why ask for it?

Hillary Clinton was "discombobulated" by Donald Trump standing behind her at the second presidential debate in October, the former Democratic candidate acknowledged in an interview to promote her new book. "It was so discombobulating," Clinton in an interview that will be aired on CBS this Sunday. In her forthcoming narrative of the election, "What Happened," Clinton reviews how she lost to Trump. In Sunday's interview, she pointed to that moment, one that attracted significant social media attention at the time, as a possible instance in which she may have missed an opportunity. …

Department of State security officers found then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton so unpleasant they refused to work on her security detail, a former agent claims in newly-released FBI documents. The FBI Monday released 100 pages of documents relating to its investigation of Clinton’s private email server. The documents incorporate summaries of several interviews the FBI conducted, including one with a woman who served as an agent with the State Department’s Bureau of Diplomatic Security (DS) during Clinton’s time as secretary of state.

A former Secret Service agent writes in a new book that Hillary Clinton’s “Jekyll and Hyde” temper at times resulted in wild outbursts. Gary Byrne says the likely Democratic nominee is too “erratic, uncontrollable and occasionally violent” for the presidency, according to excerpts obtained by Page Six. "What I saw in the 1990s sickened me,” Byrne writes in the introduction of “Crisis of Character: A White House Secret Service Officer Discloses His Firsthand Experience with Hillary, Bill and How They Operate.” The book, due out June 28, already holds the top spot on Amazon's best-seller list. "Hillary Clinton is now...

Everyone says Donald Trump is crazy, so I decided to test their theory and challenge the assumption that he is made of the wrong temperament. I run Republicans Overseas in the UK; we have to process the Trump victory; we think he’s being misrepresented. The political elite, along with the media and their regular pundits, have been so busy picking on words — evaluating Trump according to their own personal standards — that they keep missing what is happening before their eyes. Across the board, no matter the group, they have applied their own elitist standards of how one should...

BLOOMFIELD, Iowa - James and Brooks Schooley are raising a young family in this tiny Iowa community. They support Ted Cruz and brought their kids to an old church near the Bloomfield town square to hear the candidate, along with Iowa Rep. Steve King and former Texas Gov. Rick Perry. The Schooleys like Cruz's faith and his fealty to the Constitution. But their choice is also shaped by their wariness of the Republican front-runner, Donald Trump. "He's not principled," James Schooley told me, referring to Trump. "He just goes by emotion." "I feel like he doesn't stick to the Constitution...

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump on Sunday attacked rival Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, saying that he has acted like a “maniac” in the Senate and doesn’t have the “temperament” to be president.“Look at the way he’s dealt with the Senate. He goes in there, frankly, like a little bit of a maniac. You’re never going to get things done that way,” Mr. Trump said on “Fox News Sunday.”“I don’t think he has the right judgment,” the billionaire developer said. “You can’t walk into the Senate and scream and call people liars, and not be able to cajole and get...

Here is video today of Sen. Lindsey Graham asking Supreme Court nominee, Judge Sonia Sotomayor, if she has a "temperament problem." Graham cited evaluations posted by lawyers who have appeared before Sotomayor on the bench as a judge. Some of the comments posted described her as: "She's a terror on the bench." "Temperamental." "Abuses lawyers." "Lacks judicial temperament." "She can be a bit of a bully." Sotomayor defended herself as being a judge who "asked tough questions of lawyers." Graham said these evaluations "stand out like a sore thumb," when compared to evaluations of other judges. . . . (Watch...

he word of the day is “temperament.” On PBS, last night after the final presidential debate, David Brooks was celebrating Barack Obama’s reassuring temperament. He told Charlie Rose that Barack Obama is like a mountain. When you go to bed–he’s there. You wake up–he’s there. You go to bed the next night–he’s there. Wake up–he’s there. It’s true: Obama does bear a striking characterological resemblance to a shapeless heap of non-living matter. Moreover, he’s accomplished about as much as a massive hump of rock.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) had some of his harshest words yet for Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) on Friday, suggesting his colleague lacks the temperament and judgment to be president. Reid used time on the Senate floor to talk presidential politics, lumping the GOP nominee together with President Bush and drawing a clear distinction between them and Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), the Democratic presidential nominee. “Our dangerous world calls for leaders with sound judgment, not those with a temperament prone to recklessness,” Reid said. “Our country deserves more than token shifts and lip service to change. We need to...

The man in the picture is Bill Ayers. He co-founded a terrorist organization known as the 'Weather Underground' in the late 1960s that bombed - among other targets - the Pentagon, the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Capitol and a New York City Police Department precinct headquarters. In 1970, the Weathermen declared war on the United States after a fellow terrorist was killed in a police raid in Chicago.

Sorry if this is a repeat of something already posted... Did you notice how self-righteous Kerry sounded when he DEMANDED an answer from the person in the crowd as to whether he was a Republicn or had voted for Bush...all the while dodging answering the question he was posed in the first place....a very "Dean-Like" moment in my opinion. Just steamed me up and I needed to vent. G-Block

There are few things as revealing as public figures being caught in moments when they do not know they are being overheard. Four years ago at a campaign event, when George W. Bush was caught calling a New York Times reporter a "major-league a--hole," it made every major network newscast that night. That's fine. Unguarded, unscripted moments are so rare on the campaign trail that episodes like that attract understandable attention, especially if they're a little salty. So, four years later, where were the lead stories the day that candidate John Kerry blasted his opposition as "the most crooked, lying...

When Senator John Kerry was overheard describing his Republican opponents as "crooked" and "lying" to a voter the other day, his campaign quickly offered two explanations for the unusually harsh words. One was that Mr. Kerry did not realize he was wearing a live microphone. The other was that he said what he meant and he meant what he said. Whatever the case, there was little question that explaining an offhanded remark picked up by a microphone was hardly a new challenge for Mr. Kerry, the all-but-certain Democratic challenger to Mr. Bush. Throughout the race, Mr. Kerry has been in...
