Franken has faced an avalanche of calls from colleagues in his own party to resign after multiple allegations of sexual harassment. Tom Arnold focused on the first accuser, which was Tweeden, and attempted to discredit her in defense of Franken:

I’m disappointed with my friend Leeann Tweedon…

While in Texas visiting with victims of Hurricane Harvey, First Lady Melania Trump and Second Lady Karen Pence stopped for food at one of America’s finest restaurants, Whataburger:

Ann Marie Buerkle, a commissioner poised to run the federal agency, has rarely voted for a mandatory recall, a maximum fine, or a tougher safety standard.

The idea of traveling into space seems cool. Many of us have imagined becoming astronauts—or possibly the first person on Mars—at some point in our lives. Who hasn’t wanted to touch the stars? However, there are some facts that might have made us reconsider if our dreams hadn’t died off, anyway. From the unfortunate consequences […]

Archaeology’s twin children—mystery and revelation—keep it among the most captivating fields of research. Ancient constructions are particularly tantalizing—the bigger the discovery, the better. A small, rare artifact is valuable, but entire temple complexes, lost geoglyphs, and castles invigorate history in leaps and bounds. Building projects can betray the fear, vanity, or social aspects of whomever […]

Munchausen syndrome by proxy (MSBP), also known as factitious disorder imposed on another, is a psychological disorder in which a caregiver fakes or induces medical symptoms in a person under her care.

Lawsuits have an intimidating effect on an already difficult enterprise.

When a dying man arrived at a Miami hospital this year, unconscious, but with end-of-life wishes tattooed on his chest, doctors called on an ethics expert.

People who can see better are more likely to get exercise, take their medication and avoid falls, experts say.

In a Norwegian study, pregnant women who took acetaminophen for 29 days or more had a more than twofold risk of having children with A.D.H.D.

As Twitchy told you yesterday, while in France, former President Obama lamented a “temporary absence of American leadership.” Obama was referring specifically to the Trump administration pulling the U.S. out of the Paris Agreement. But that wasn’t Obama’s only criticism. He went on to say the demographics of who serves in politics needs to change:

On November 18, 1978, over 900 bodies were discovered in Jonestown, the makeshift compound established in Guyana by the Peoples Temple sect. In an act of so-called “revolutionary suicide,” most had taken their own lives by ingesting cyanide in a grape-flavored beverage. The group had killed a Congressional representative and realized that this would bring […]

So, this tweet from Twitter user @xnulz went viral over the weekend after she asked people to “Name a bitch badder than Taylor Swift”:

“Aryan” is perhaps the most controversial term in archaeology. Originally a self-identifier of the Indo-Iranian people, “Aryan” referred to a cultural and linguistic group, not an ethnicity. Nineteenth-century scholars misappropriated the term, made it a synonym for all Indo-Europeans, and burdened it with racial connotations never intended by the original users. Of course, we all […]

California really screwed the pooch with the Kate Steinle verdict. Jose Ines Garcia Zarate had been deported FIVE TIMES, had SEVEN FELONIES, stole a firearm and killed an innocent young woman and the worst thing that will likely happen to him is being deported.

Donald Trump spent all year insisting that we kick out Mexican immigrants because one of them murdered #KateSteinle – but that individual has just been acquitted. Trump's entire racist argument has fallen apart. Now let's kick Trump out.

Ok, so we’re not exactly surprised Lefties were out in full force using the verdict to screech about Trump being a racist, but it doesn’t stop it from being just absolutely disgusting…

As Twitchy reported Thursday night, a five-time deportee who was back in the U.S. illegally and roaming the San Francisco streets because of local sanctuary city laws was acquitted of murder and manslaughter charges in the shooting death of Kate Steinle.
Dan Bongino laid out the timeline, and it’s infuriating:

1) Enter country illegally2) Fire a stolen Sig Sauer handgun into a group of people3) Sever the aorta of a young woman & kill her4) Throw gun in SF Bay5) Get caught on video fleeing scene6) Watch a SF jury acquit you of the serious charges in a mockery of justice#Steinle
