Nixon, according to a press release from Sherman's office."Unsurprisingly, Republican leadership did not hold hearings on the Articles of Impeachment, H.Res. 438.

Day One: Democrat to Introduce Articles of Impeachment Against Donald Trump
Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) plans to introduce articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump on Thursday — the first day that Democrats control the majority in the U.S. House of Representatives. Sherman first filed such articles in 2017, though they had no chance of going anywhere in the Republican-controlled House. Other Democrats joined his effort over the months that followed, without much effect.Sherman, who was until recently considered a “moderate,” is close to the Bill and Hillary Clinton wing of the Democratic Party. He backed Hillary Clinton over Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) in the Democratic presidential primary in 2016, and has adopted hawkish foreign policy positions in the past. But in the two years since Trump won the presidency, Sherman has — like some other “moderates” — become obsessed with removing Trump. The Los Angeles Times reports: Rep.

Top 10 most read stories of 2018: AMD Zen 2, NES Classic and Article 13
IT'S BEEN A HECK OF A YEAR in the world of technology. Facebook will likely be welcoming 2018's end; back in March, news broke that data on nearly 100 million users had their data harvested by political strategist firm Cambridge Analytica, and since, things have gone from bad to worse for the embattled social network. Microsoft, too, has had a shaky 12 months. The firm's much-hyped October Update to Windows 10 suffered so much-borkage that it was forced to yank the update, releasing it again to only 'advanced' users on, er, 18 December. We've also this year seen a number of countries ban Huawei equipment over so-called "national security" concerns, data breaches hitting firms from British Airways and Ticketmaster to Marriott and, er, Butlins and, Wikipedia vandals convincing Siri that Donald Trump is literally a penis. Let's be honest, they're not wrong. We've rounded up the top 10 most read news stories from 2018 below. µ AMD's … [Read more...] about Top 10 most read stories of 2018: AMD Zen 2, NES Classic and Article 13
Daily Mail Retracts Climate Scare Article for Data ‘Errors’
Britain’s second-largest daily newspaper has retracted a December article asserting that global warming is worse than commonly thought. The Daily Mail published its retraction on Saturday, saying it had removed a December 10th article with the headline ‘Is global warming WORSE than we thought?’ because the climate change study on which it was based was found to have “errors in the data”.Daily Mail correction The study, conducted by Laure Resplandy of Princeton University and nine other researchers, was published in the journal Nature and its accompanying press release was titled ‘Earth’s oceans have absorbed 60 percent more heat per year than previously thought’. The paper suggested that the earth is more sensitive to fossil-fuel emissions than what was commonly believed. Even prior to the Mail’s publication of the first climate change piece, however, independent climate scientist Nicholas Lewis had examined the Nature study … [Read more...] about Daily Mail Retracts Climate Scare Article for Data ‘Errors’
‘The Thrust of this Article Is No Longer Correct’: NBC News Backs Down from Fake News Hit on Trump, Troops, Christmas
NBC News has finally, a full day after being called out for printing the fake news, admitted that its article published on Christmas alleging President Donald Trump snubbed the troops during the holidays this year is incorrect. NBC has altered its headline and story, changing their meaning to remove the original anti-Trump thrust, and added an extended editor’s note beyond the original editor’s note appended when it was first discovered to be an inaccurate piece. The new editor’s note admits in no uncertain terms that NBC News printed fake news, and that it was only leaving the article up in the interest of transparency despite the fact that “the thrust of this article is no longer correct” according to NBC News’s own editors.The embarrassing mistake for NBC News comes as the media industry as a whole has attempted to critique Trump’s visit to Iraq, bashing the troops for bringing red “Make America Great Again” hats for the … [Read more...] about ‘The Thrust of this Article Is No Longer Correct’: NBC News Backs Down from Fake News Hit on Trump, Troops, Christmas
