WASHINGTON — President Trump escalated a stunning feud against his top Senate partner Thursday, suggesting Majority Leader Mitch McConnell might have to think about stepping aside if he doesn’t deliver on the president’s agenda of health care, taxes and infrastructure. A sitting president openly turning on a Senate majority leader of his own party in such a fashion is practically unheard of — yet another norm destroyed since Trump’s rise on the political scene. [...] while the fighting words might elate Trump’s core supporters... Читать дальше...

DENVER — A defiant and occasionally exasperated Taylor Swift insisting during a whirlwind hour of testimony Thursday that a Denver disc jockey grabbed her bare backside and held on for a long time during a meet-and-greet before a concert. “He stayed attached to my bare ass-cheek as I lurched away from him,” Swift testified in federal court during a trial over dueling lawsuits in the case. The singer-songwriter used the word “ass” dozens of times on the witness stand, sometimes sarcastically, in... Читать дальше...

Whisenant Jr.'s death was caused by a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Court records show he had been handling several visa and passport fraud cases.

With 283 acres of wine grapes on a more than 2,000-acre ranch — complete with organic walnuts, olives for oil and grazing cattle — it’s the largest vineyard on the west side of Paso Robles, where the mountainous terrain, limestone-like soils, and ocean influence comprise a vintner’s paradise. [...] the property was in the midst of a major transition from simply selling grapes to becoming its own estate winery, which made the stakes even higher for the new vineyard manager. What Pope didn’t realize... Читать дальше...

Jeffrey Lord Fired From CNN Over Nazi Salute Tweet CNN has cut ties with pro-Trump commentator Jeffrey Lord after the TV pundit tweeted out the “Sieg Heil” Nazi salute on Thursday. Lord has not responded to TheWrap’s request for comment but he did tweet the cryptic “LOL!” shortly after reports of his dismissal went public. The exchange came after Lord tweeted a story he had just posted on American Spectator deriding the progressive watchdog group as modern-day “fascists” and calling its leadership “anti-free speech bigots who...

[...] his response to waking up in the morning after wetting himself in his sleep is just to stand there and smell his hands, blocking his blind girlfriend Ramona (Judy Greer) from going to the bathroom, only to have her sit back down in the damp spot on the couch where he left his mark. Isaac’s trashy identity — including how the little world he lives in is punctuated by overwhelming choral music — is like all the annoying sad-white-dude-in-an-indie tropes rolled into one absurd character. Bravo... Читать дальше...

Colorado-based New Belgium Brewing Company has agreed to purchase the assets of San Francisco’s Magnolia Brewing. Magnolia founder Dave McLean filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in late 2015.

U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric says Guterres "welcomes all initiatives that will help de-escalate the tensions and a return to diplomacy." Dujarric says Guterres welcomed the U.N. Security Council's adoption last Saturday of a resolution imposing new sanctions on North Korea, including banning any coal, iron lead and seafood exports, and is urging all U.N. member states to implement it. Trump tells reporters after a security briefing at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, "We are going to... Читать дальше...

(AP) — A judge sentenced a 20-year-old man to life in prison Thursday for killing a couple who stopped to help him alongside a road on Montana's Crow Indian Reservation. Merchant had argued that a shorter sentence would be merciful given that Mendoza was 18 at the time of the shootings, has schizophrenia and a history of drug abuse, and was physically and sexually abused as a child in his native Mexico. Former Attorney General Loretta Lynch decided against pursuing capital punishment in April 2016... Читать дальше...

ALAMO, Texas — While the economy in Texas has boomed over the past 20 years, along the border with Mexico about a half million people live in clusters of cinder-block dwellings, home-built shacks, dilapidated trailers and small houses. Lawmakers who represent the border area, and groups that provide help for indigent people there, are worried that concern about the living conditions and health risks in the colonias is flagging in a state government now taking a tougher stance toward immigrants. Since the 1950s... Читать дальше...

Brewing tensions between the U.S. and North Korea put investors in a selling mood again Thursday, dragging U.S. stocks lower for the third day in a row. Technology companies, which have been the biggest gainers this year as the market hit a succession of record highs, led the broad slide. "The market has been looking for an excuse to sell off and North Korea and the president gave the market that excuse," said David Schiegoleit, managing director at the U.S. Bank Private Client Wealth Management.

(AP) — Attorneys for three Arkansas abortion clinics say a new state law requiring suspension or revocation of their licenses for any violation unconstitutionally singles them out, while the state says the new restriction furthers its interest in protecting women's health. The clinics say the measure unfairly targets them and notes the state already has the discretion to revoke or suspend licenses on a case-by-case basis.

CHICAGO (AP) — A judge Thursday sentenced the boss of one of Chicago's most violent street gangs to 40 years behind bars, saying the Hobos boss had used his many talents "to advance the cause of evil." Gregory "Bowlegs" Chester, 40, led the South Side gang that prosecutors described as an "all-star team" of thieves and killers who cultivated a reputation for brutality to maintain their criminal empire. Chester was the first of the Hobos to be sentenced since jurors convicted six in January of a... Читать дальше...
