Scramble for answers as Ronny Jackson allegations threaten to upend nomination
Senate Democrats huddled privately Monday in a basement office in the Capitol to discuss "raw allegations" that have been raised against Jackson. "There are reasons, as there are with every presidential appointee, for very close scrutiny and vetting. We need to know if allegations raised by others may have some factual basis. That's the process of vetting that has to occur," said Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Connecticut, as he left the meeting, which lasted about a half hour. "We need to be asking questions and there need to be answers," he added. "At this point we are dealing with some fairly raw allegations and we need to know if there is factual support for it." "All I can really tell you at

In a sad conclusion to a disturbing relationship, a woman who married her birth father and gave birth to their child was laid to rest this past weekend, along with her baby and her adoptive father, after investigators said the birth father killed them all in a murder-suicide.

Sports TMZDraya Michele Wedgies Out In Miami During Hot Beach Shoot
Draya Michele Wedgies Out During Hot Beach Shoot 1 4/23/2018 7:05 AM PDT With her NFL fiance heading to D.C. in a few months, Draya Michele is soaking up all the Miami sun she can take while she's got the chance! The former 'Basketball Wives' star hit the sand at the Shore Club in South Beach looking smokin' hot -- and posed for a beachfront photo shoot. She's a bikini designer so we're guessing the suit is probably part of her collection. Of course, her baby daddy, Orlando Scandrick, just signed a new contract with the Washington Redskins ... so she'll be spending A LOT more time on the East Coast. Too bad ... warm weather suits her.

Sean Hannity is a 'welfare queen'
But when it came to accepting government support for his real estate investments, Hannity didn't keep his wallet closed. The ethic of rugged individualism gave way to the desire to have the federal government help line Hannity's pocket. The ugly welfare stereotypes that Hannity advances -- an indolent African-American, a long-haired California hippy -- feed the grievances of his audience. Little do they know it is actually Hannity with his hand in the welfare cookie jar. He is not alone. One of the biggest welfare queens of all is living large in public housing at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. By one account, President Donald Trump has received $885 million in tax breaks from the government of New
