| BEAUFORT, S.C. - For the first time in forty years, a Democrat will hold South Carolina´s first congressional seat. Congressman Mark Sanford held the position for three terms and Republican Candidate Katie Arrington is blaming him for her loss. "The goods news... we are neck and neck in this race and we´re still gonna win this thing," Joe Cunningham told the crowd at his watch party Tuesday night. And he was right. The Democratic candidate beat out Arrington by 1.4 percent. Even though she won four of the five counties, Cunningham took the biggest -- Charleston. "We are really, really, really, happy with this victory,"

KA ran a really poor campaign and had no particularly distinguishing messages. She was very pro-Trump in the primary and that got her the win over Sanford, but then she had nothing in the campaign against Cunningham. Sanford would have cleaned up against Cunningham.

KA was sidelined by that horrible auto accident she sustained, which must have disrupted her campaigning plans and ability. That much I know.

Get out your gloves and scarves, Columbia. After a weekend full of chilly rain, forecasters are predicting the area may be getting a little snow. A mix of snow and rain is expected to fall on the Columbia-area Sunday night into Monday morning, National Weather Service Forecaster Jeff Linton said Friday. Because of the rain that is expected to accompany the icy precipitation, Linton said the snow likely will not stick or accumulate on the ground. If the forecast shifts and temperatures drop more than already expected, that increases the chance of a white dusting on the grass Monday morning, he

President Donald Trump has said that prosecutors found no evidence of campaign collusion with Russia despite a lengthy and costly investigation. ´After two years and millions of pages of documents (and a cost of over $30 million) no collusion!´ Trump tweeted on Saturday morning, one day after new court filings from special counsel Robert Mueller. The court filings allege Trump´s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, was in touch as far back as 2015 with a Russian who offered ´political synergy´ with the Trump election campaign and proposed a meeting between the candidate and Russian President Vladimir Putin (Tweet)

The Yellowstone volcano, located in the US State of Wyoming, has been ranked a “high risk” volcano by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and experts have warned an eruption could one day cause a volcanic winter, threatening to cause chaos across the globe. Dr Christopher Kilburn, a professor at University College London and expert in volcanic hazards, has explained exactly how a volcano can produce what is called a volcanic winter.

US President Donald Trump spoke on Thursday afternoon at the White House Hanukkah reception. The reception was attended by hundreds of US Jewish leaders. In addition to Trump and his wife Melania, the event was also attended by Vice President Mike Pence and his wife Karen, members of the Trump family and his close advisors. “More than 2,000 years ago, a band of Jewish patriots led by Judah Maccabee reclaimed their freedom from an oppressive dictator who persecuted the Jewish people and ransacked the Holy Temple,” he said. The President noted that the Jewish people throughout history have suffered repression

The Boy Scouts of America is mulling declaring bankruptcy amid flagging membership and an avalanche of costly sex abuse allegations, according to the Wall Street Journal. Leaders have hired Chicago law firm Sidley Austin for help in a potential Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, sources told the outlet. The organization has been fending off lawsuits over alleged abuse, including one filed by four former scouts who called the club a “pedophile magnet” and alleged that they were molested by scoutmaster Waldron Ackerman between 1974 and 1976. The organization has reportedly lost two-thirds of its members — some 4 million boys —

Woke 29-year-old Congresswoman-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez went after White House Chief of Staff John Kelly yesterday. Why? She wants him to apologize to Democrat Rep. Frederica Wilson for supposedly "lying" about her to reporters.(tweet)"Cowardice." Quite a big word to use against a four-star Marine Corps general whose son was killed in Afghanistan. Wilson´s spat with Kelly came last year when she alleged President Trump disrespected a military family during a phone call. Kelly disputed her characterization and gave a briefing to the White House press corps on how the military handles casualties.

If Tuesday’s instantly famous Oval Office meeting is a harbinger of things to come, it’s going to be a long two years for “Chuck and Nancy.” Presidents can be intimidating, and Trump had home court advantage during Tuesday’s meeting. However, Chuck Schumer seemed especially outmatched by a very forceful Donald Trump. As Bill Kristol (no Trump apologist) put it: “[B]ased on what I saw of their respective performances in that Oval Office meeting today, I don’t understand why it’s Nancy Pelosi who’s facing a leadership challenge and Chuck Schumer who isn’t.” The mainstream media will focus

Two groups of migrants from Central America marched to the American consulate in Tijuana, Mexico, yesterday, with a list of demands to the Trump administration. One of them asked the American president to either let them in the country or pay them $50,000 each to go home, a report said. The first group, including about 100 migrants, arrived at the consulate around 11am on Tuesday. Alfonso Guerreo Ulloa, an organizer from Honduras, told the San Diego Union-Tribune that the $50,000 figure is not a very big sum. ´It may seem like a lot of money to you,´ he said.

When Professor Christine Blasey-Ford testified against the Supreme Court nomination of then-Judge Bret Kavanaugh, my very first impression was that her voice sounded fake. She sounded like a scared little girl, her voice tremulous, creating an impression of sadness and vulnerability. (snip) For the first time since her testimony, we now have the opportunity to hear her voice, and guess what? She doesn’t sound at all like the witness whose fear and suffering moved so many Democrats and feminists. She sounds like a grown-up, a professor indeed.
