Good night from New York. LISA KENNEDY MONTGOMERY, FOX BUSINESS NETWORK HOST: The Senate's top Republican has a warning for Democrats. Quit delaying, obstructing, and resisting the confirmation vote for Judge Brett Kavanaugh. And it comes amid a new poll showing more Americans think that Supreme Court nominee is the target of a politically motivated smear campaign. Now, as you know, the FBI is currently investigating claims that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted several women back in the 1980s. Among them Dr. Christine Blasey Ford who testified against him last week. She says she's a hundred percent sure Kavanaugh drunkenly attacked her in high school. Kavanaugh of course denies everything. And moments ago President Trump defended his nominee at a rally in T-E-N-N-E-S-S-E-E, Tennessee. Watch. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: Democrats are willing to do anything and to hurt anyone to get their way like they're doing with Judge Kavanaugh. They've been trying to destroy him since the very first second he was announced because they know that Judge Kavanaugh will follow the constitution as written.

  • Who Trump Is Putting in Power by Jessica Huseman, Ian Macdougall and Rob Weychert Updated January 19, 2018
    THE CHOSEN H H H Who Trump Is Putting in Power by Jessica Huseman, Ian MacDougall and Rob Weychert Updated January 19, 2018 We’ve created an easy-to-print version of our cards showing President Trump’s key picks. Use them however you like: as con- versation-starting stocking stuffers, with students, or just to test your knowledge of the unfolding administration. Enjoy — and let us know what you do with them! PROPUB.LI/CABINET-CARDS REX TILLERSON SECRETARY OF STATE H Confirmed by the Senate (56–43) REX TILLERSON SECRETARY OF STATE YOUR READING GUIDE H Tillerson is the former CEO of Exxon Mobil. At the State Department, he has overseen a massive downsizing, which resulted in what the New Yorker called “the near-dismantling of America’s diplomatic corps.” He originally supported Jeb Bush for president, and he has had a tumultuous relationship with Trump. He reportedly called the president a “moron” after a July 2017 meeting with other senior officials. For his part, Trump has repeatedly undermined Tillerson, and rumors of Tillerson’s impending departure from Foggy Bottom have dogged him for much of his tenure. PROPUB.LI/CABINET-CARDS STEVE MNUCHIN SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY H Confirmed by the Senate (53–47) STEVE MNUCHIN SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY YOUR READING GUIDE H The former Goldman Sachs banker served as Trump’s campaign finance chairman. Mnuchin was a key booster for the recent tax cut. Reports that he and his wife, Louise Linton (who also generated controversy for comments viewed as tone-deaf), used a government plane to fly to Kentucky to see an eclipse triggered an investigation by Treasury’s Inspector General.

    COVID-19 UPDATE November 23, 2020 Global Total cases – 59,025,871 Total deaths – 1,393,889 United States Total cases – 12,369,978 Total deaths – 257,415 On Wednesday, the United States surpassed 250,000 coronavirus deaths. The total number of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in the United States has reached new highs every day since November 11, when hospitalizations first surpassed the April peak. One week before the end of the month, the United States has already recorded its highest monthly case total in November, reporting more than 3,075,000 cases. The number of November cases could exceed four million, more than double the total in October. Trump Administration • The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention urged Americans against traveling for Thanksgiving and to limit gatherings to people in the same household as Covid-19 rages in the U.S. o “Celebrating virtually or with the people you live with is the safest choice this Thanksgiving,” the agency said on its website on Thursday. “Travel may increase your chance of getting and spreading COVID-19.” o For people considering traveling for the holiday, the agency offered a checklist of risks and standard advice such as wearing a face covering and staying 6 feet away from people “who don’t live with you.” People hosting Thanksgiving guests at home should observe precautions that could include having an outdoor meal with family and friends, have people bring their own food and drink, and opening windows if the gathering is indoors. • In a call last week, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Robert Redfield and Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar encouraged governors to help build confidence in vaccines and stressed the importance of wearing masks.

Geoffrey Grec/C Ph.D. Professor of English Sarita Cannon, Ph.D. Associate Professor of English ALTERNATIVE PERSPECTIVES OF AFRICAN AMERICAN CULTURE AND REPRESENTATION IN THE WORKS OF ISHMAEL REED Jason Andrew JackI San Francisco, California 2018 This thesis demonstrates the ways in which Ishmael Reed proposes incisive countemarratives to the hegemonic master narratives that perpetuate degrading misportrayals of Afro American culture in the historical record and mainstream news and entertainment media of the United States. Many critics and readers have responded reductively to Reed’s work by hastily dismissing his proposals, thereby disallowing thoughtful critical engagement with Reed’s views as put forth in his fiction and non­ fiction writing. The study that follows asserts that Reed’s corpus deserves more thoughtful critical and public recognition than it has received thus far. To that end, I argue that a critical re-exploration of his fiction and non-fiction writing would yield profound contributions to the ongoing national dialogue on race relations in America.
