That’s why the GOP’s right wing rose up in dismay to condemn Thursday’s partisan vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee which killed the nomination of Mississippi Judge Charles Pickering to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. Until recently, few people outside the Beltway had heard of Pickering. Now he is the new hero of the Right, the latest victim of what conservatives believe is unfair ideological bias. Senate minority leader Trent Lott called the defeat a dress rehearsal for future Supreme Court nominations, and said that the Democratic majority would never approve a pro-life, conservative man of faith....

Representative Veronica Escobar, a Texas Democrat, has asked the Federal Elections Commission if she can use campaign cash for a home security system. Meanwhile, the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) and the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), which help elect conservative members to both chambers, are awaiting FEC guidance on whether campaign funds can pay for bodyguards. “In light of current events involving concrete threats of physical violence against members and their families, members have been compelled to consider further security measures for themselves and their families,” the NRSC and NRCC write in their joint request on personal protection measures....

The long-awaited fourth season of Stranger Things has finally wrapped up, and in its wake, fans are already speculating about what might come in the fifth and final season. The finale of Season 4 was pretty intense, and the stakes of every season keep ramping up, so it’s safe to assume that Season 5 will be a doozy. With every year that passes, as the main characters get older and the tone of the show gets even darker, Stranger Things seems to be getting more comfortable putting its main characters in danger and even potentially killing some of them off....

It is the fourth and largest major carrier to apply for a portion of the $10 billion in loan guarantees Congress has made available to airlines that meet stringent financial criteria. But it’s debatable whether United’s request, filed just a few days before the June 28 deadline, will be approved. Already, the Air Transportation Stabilization Board has turned down requests from two smaller airlines, and has given out just $380 million (to America West Airlines in December)....

Having a meal before the vaccine could help people with a history of feeling faint, while drinking water is important to prevent dehydration, Dr. Katie Markley, a primary care physician at UCHealth Primary Care–Hilltop, said in a February blog post. Dr. Allison Weinmann, an infectious disease expert at the Henry Ford Health System, said in January that patients should eat beforehand and be well-rested. “The night before… make sure to get a good night’s sleep—it will help your immune system work to its fullest potential....

However, I can’t find any site that is ‘safe for work’ and supports RSS or a remote random button. And we want to avoid videos, because they need sound and our employee computers don’t have speakers. Thanks.

However, interpreting what the hell these football folks are saying can be its own challenge. All of the conversations about reading coverages, technique at the point of attack and change of direction can leave even the most avid NFL fans shaking their heads — and that’s without mentioning Mike Mayock’s fascination with “bubble butts.” Same, buddy. NFL MOCK DRAFT: Projections for all seven rounds So here’s a pre-draft challenge from Sporting News: We’ve gathered notes from NFL....

Appearance of Penis Shrinking With Age Multiple studies have confirmed there’s no link between age and the actual length of a flaccid penis. However the “if you don’t use it, you lose it” theory can be a reality. If you don’t get frequent erections where your penis and its skin stretches you may lose some perceived length to the penis. The difference in length can be small. Your penis may look smaller as you grow older—due to decreased blood flow and testosterone in the region—but it’s just the appearance of shrinkage....

Baking soda is an alkaline mineral that is effective at neutralizing acidity. Cancer cells flourish in acidic environments, and some believe it may help neutralize acidity in the body to help fight against cancer. You should never stop or replace your doctor-prescribed treatments with baking soda or other complementary or alternative treatments. Consult with your healthcare providers before using baking soda for cancer. Your doctor will want to closely monitor the way your body responds, as there are risks to its use....

Cancer, encourage your Gemini man to ask you questions and try to understand you better—heart and soul. His sign is ruled by Mercury, which makes him innately curious. He loves to learn new things and might just make you his latest research subject. Gemini, make an effort to learn and understand your Cancerian partner. Once you get a handle on what makes her tick you’ll know how to create the intimate relationship she craves....

This would be the Chelsea line-up more often than not. Injuries and games against lesser teams or games in lesser important tournaments would warrant for team changes, in order to rest the “A” team stars. If you look at the overall Chelsea squad, there seems to be a proper team in the “reserves”, which would possibly finish in the top 10 of the Premier League, if they competed as a separate entity (I know this would also be the case with the “reserves” at Manchester City or Liverpool, but I’m a Chelsea fan, hence this article)....

"I'm going to play the game like it's against any other team," Cano said before being booed by an extremely sparse crowd on a wet and chilly night. "I'm going to play to win and go out there and do my job." That is precisely what baseball is: a job. It's an exceptionally fun job, to be sure, not to mention a job that pays an obscene amount of money for a player of Cano's talent....

RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - French paddler Denis Gargaud Chanut won Olympic gold in the canoe slalom C1 final on Tuesday as world champion and favourite David Florence surprisingly failed to feature. Gargaud Chanut smoothly negotiated the 24 gates along the churning 242m whitewater course to finish 0.85 seconds ahead of Slovakia’s Matej Benus. Japan’s Takuya Haneda became the first Asian athlete to win an Olympic medal in canoe slalom as he finished third, 3....
