Because of certain information not known to the public, it was widely assumed that Whelan and CRC were collaborating with Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans and possibly Kavanaugh himself. In a further twist, a former CRC employee, Garrett Ventry, now the spokesman for the Republicans on the Judiciary Committee and aide to its chairman, Senator Chuck Grassley, suddenly resigns after accusations of sexual harassment.

As of 21 September, there have been mass shootings in the USA in the days of In there were mass shootings; in there were ; in there were In New York State, Republican Chris Collins — the first congressman to endorse Trump for president — is broadcasting a television ad showing his Democratic challenger, Nate McMurray, speaking in Korean, juxtaposed with a photo of Kim Jong-un, and claims that McMurray is offering to outsource American jobs.

Belfast, Northern Ireland

Collins has been indicted and is awaiting trial for insider trading carried out in text messages he sent during a Republican congressional picnic on the White House lawn. Campa-Najjar is of Mexican and Palestinian descent and is a practising Christian. He also purchased golf equipment for himself which he declared on finance forms was for wounded veterans. He first tried to blame his wife for these expenses, but after an outcry took responsibility.

He is currently leading in the polls. Another woman, Deborah Ramirez, claims she was sexually assaulted by Brett Kavanaugh when they were classmates at Yale. Aware for some days of this second allegation, the Republicans unsuccessfully attempted to hold the confirmation vote before it became public. It is worth noting that, in , the six senior Republican members of the Judiciary Committee all voted against the reauthorisation of the Clinton-era Violence against Women Act.

It ultimately passed the Senate In the merry-go-round of familiar faces, Michael Avenatti, the lawyer for Stormy Daniels, says he has yet another client with information about further assaults by Kavanaugh and his friends in high school. In Maryland, where they lived, there is no statute of limitations on sexual assault.

It is assumed this is a move to attenuate the division into oblivion. The Department of Homeland Security announces that legal immigrants who legally receive social welfare benefits, such as food stamps and prescription drugs for the elderly, will no longer be eligible for green cards.

It is estimated that this may affect twenty million poor children, 90 per cent of whom are US citizens.

This ruling is the latest handiwork of Stephen Miller, the year-old senior policy adviser who is the architect of the Muslim ban, the separation of children from their parents at the border and the drastic reduction in the number of refugees admitted into the country. He has created new regulations and bureaucratic obstacles to slow down all immigration processes. Avoiding the public internecine wars in the White House, he has quietly filled positions in the government with like-minded ideologues, and may well be the second most powerful man in the Trump administration, after the president himself.

He notoriously rarely writes emails, so he leaves no paper trail.

In an unusual television advertisement, the six siblings of Paul Gosar, Republican congressman from Arizona, endorse his Democratic opponent, Dr David Brill. In response, Gosar tweets: Stalin would be proud. In the latest poll, Gosar is far ahead of Brill. Now Cruz, in an unexpectedly tight race, has implored Trump to come to Texas to campaign for him. The White House leaks to reporters that the deputy attorney general, Rod Rosenstein, a lifelong Republican who is overseeing the Robert Mueller investigation, is resigning or has been fired. This turns out to be an invention by the president himself and Bill Shine, formerly of Fox News and now the White House deputy chief of staff for communications, to divert attention away from the Kavanaugh scandals.

Shine himself had been fired by Fox for covering up various sexual harassment cases. Dr Ben Carson, secretary of housing and urban development, speaking at the Christian evangelist Values Voter Summit, blames the allegations against Kavanaugh on the Fabian Society: In order to do that, there are three things they must control: The first two of those they have.

The Environmental Protection Agency announces plans to dissolve its Office of the Science Adviser, which counsels on the scientific research underpinning health and environmental regulations. The post of agency science adviser is currently held by Dr Jennifer Orme-Zavaleta, an expert on the risks of chemicals to human health, who has worked at the EPA since It is plated with military-grade armour, protected against biochemical attack and has five-inch-thick, multi-layer windows. The doors are as heavy as those of a jet. The delegates burst into laughter.

Ten Days a Madwoman

The Twittersphere immediately produces a Trump tweet from We need a truly great leader, a genius at strategy and winning. They love to be with him. Kavanaugh and his wife are interviewed on Fox News. Although the charges of sexual assault are credible, what is now certain from various accounts is that Kavanaugh was a drunken lout in high school and college. It is curious that he has chosen to completely deny everything, rather than follow the popular American route to redemption: They do not want me or us to win because I am the first president ever to challenge China on trade.

And we are winning on trade. We are winning at every level. All of these states, except Washington, voted for Trump in After Bill Cosby is sentenced to three to ten years in prison for drugging and raping a woman, his spokesman says: As more high school, college and adult friends and acquaintances of Brett Kavanaugh appear with further stories of drunken parties, sexual assaults and even gang rapes, Republican senator Lindsey Graham, defending Kavanaugh, says: Still at the United Nations, President Trump, in his first press conference in days, takes on the persona of a mafia don: Without our protection, you would have real problems.

You would have real problems.

I said you should reimburse us for this protection. In a dizzying nine hours of hearings, watched by much of the country, the Senate Judiciary Committee hears testimony from Christine Blasey Ford and Brett Kavanaugh. Dr Ford, appearing in public for the first time, turns out to be the nice next-door neighbour, but one who is also a psychology professor, able to speak of memories registering in the hippocampus.

Her high-pitched adolescent voice and habit of flicking back strands of hair is at first disconcerting, but becomes wrenching as she recounts the assault: Ford, answering all questions, readily admits what she cannot remember. This deflates Republican assertions that the Democrats are attempting to defeat whomever the president selects. Republicans, in the morning, consider it a disaster. Even President Trump admits: But then the afternoon comes and Kavanaugh appears. Now, from the first moment, he becomes the stereotypical Trump voter: Yelling, weeping at inexplicable moments, grimacing, sniffling, making odd gestures with his tongue and continually drinking water, he denies everything, laments how his good name and his family have been ruined, and, perhaps most shockingly — for someone aspiring to the heights of the Supreme Court, traditionally far above petty politics — he blames it all on a left-wing conspiracy to destroy him: This is a circus.

Emboldened by Kavanaugh, the Republicans quickly dispense with questions from the prosecutor — whose strictly factual questions might lead to false answers and subsequent charges of perjury — and escalate the rhetoric with grandstanding speeches about the grave injustice of it all.
