While you slept late Friday night or decided to escape the hellscape of social media platforms and cable news networks that are deluged with depressing coronavirus reports by binge-watching Tiger King again, the president did something that has now become routine — fire someone who dared speak truth to power under his administration.

After a month of closed-door depositions, the impeachment inquiry against President Trump moved into its public phase last Wednesday, when George Kent, the assistant deputy secretary of state, and Bill Taylor, the top U.S. ambassador in Ukraine, testified before the House Intelligence Committee. Marie Yovanovich, the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, testified on Friday. Both days were plenty eventful.
The second week of hearings began on Tuesday, with sessions featuring Jennifer Williams, a national security aide to Vice President Pence; Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, a National Security Council expert; Kurt Volker,...

The House impeachment inquiry into President Donald J. Trump is again being broadcast live this week, with three days of public hearings. This week’s hearings began on Tuesday, November 19 and will end on Thursday, November 21. There will be a total of five hearings this week, taking place in both the morning and the afternoon.
Investigators for the House of Representatives are looking into whether Trump abused his public office for private gain, specifically in his dealings with Ukraine. From attempting to pressure the Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelensky into investigating former Vice President Joe Biden for corruption and asking Zelensky to investigate the conspiracy theory that it was Ukraine than interfered in the 2016 election — on behalf of Hillary Clinton’s campaign — to White House officials concealing records of phone correspondence on July 25 between Trump and Zelensky, a number of government officials already testified about these impeachable offenses to Congress behind closed doors.

Soon after Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman’s finished his testimony on the third day of the impeachment hearings yesterday, Republican Devin Nunes declared the ratings for were “way down, way down” and the whole affair was losing traction with the American public.
Well, the ranking Gop member of the House Intelligence Committee was very wrong in his characterization Tuesday of the dip between Day 1 and Day 2 of the widely televised inquiry. However, when it comes to the long third day of the probe into Donald Trump’s alleged leveraging of millions in aid to Ukraine for domestic political concerns, the highly partisan Rep. Nunes was incorrect again.

Washington — With each witness, the House impeachment investigation moves closer to the president and the July 25th call between Trump and Ukraine’s new president in which Trump asked the Ukrainians to investigate the Bidens and a debunked conspiracy theory about the 2016 presidential election.
Four witnesses testified before the House Intelligence Committee on Tuesday: Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, the top Ukraine expert on the National Security Council; Jennifer Williams, an adviser to Vice President Pence on Russia and Ukraine; Kurt Volker, the former U.S. special envoy to Ukraine; and Tim Morrison,...

Hey, "Days Of Our Lives" fans. Unfortunately we are back here again to have to tell you that your favorite soap opera got preempted once again today, November 19, 2019 in certain United States time zones due to NBC's Live coverage of the President Donald Trump impeachment hearings. This did not effect every major network like it did last week. Update: Today's November 20, 2019 episode was preempted in certain time zones due to the Donald Trump Impeachment hearings. We wrote a whole new article about it. You can read it by Clicking Here. From what I can tell, NBC was the only one that covered the entire impeachment hearings today. CBS covered them for a little while, but then took a break to make sure they aired two big soap operas "The Bold And The Beautiful" and "Young And The Restless." Currently, CBS is now covering the afternoon impeachment hearings while NBC...

Heading into a week featuring star witness Gordon Sondland and with Donald Trump claiming this morning he might show up too, the start of the impeachment hearings of the 45th President of the United States may be remembered more as a stage setter than a showstopper.
However, over two days of partisan jousting, three career diplomats, social media salvos from the ex-Celebrity Apprentice host and wall-to-wall coverage, it has proven to be a fairly well watched stage setter after all – despite the White House line that the whole thing was a bore.
Coming off a debut viewership of around 13.8 million over nearly a dozen cable and broadcast outlets on November 13, the November 15 sworn testimony of pink slipped Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch earned praise from many non-gop and Oval Office quarters. Facing what some termed “witness intimidation” in real time from Trump’s Twitter feed, the frontline career diplomat received a standing...

“Read the transcript!” has been a mantra of President Donald Trump ever since he released a summary of his call with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky over allegations he withheld aid to the nation unless its president agreed to manufacture dirt on the son of his political rival, Joe Biden.
But, in fact, the summary of the call with Zelensky is not a transcript at all; it’s a summary with important facts withheld. This was verified by Jennifer Williams, an aide to Vice President Mike Pence, who listened in on...

It was just by a hair, but the debut of the impeachment hearings against Donald Trump yesterday beat Robert Mueller’s testimony before Congress earlier this year …barely.
With a grand total of 13,098,000 Americans tuning in to watch the televised opening of the House Select Committee on Intelligence questioning on Wednesday, Ambassador William Taylor and Deputy Secretary of State George Kent topped the 12.9 million who saw the former FBI Director’s circumspect stint in the hot seat on July 25.
Having said that with Nielsen numbers from Fox News Channel. MSNBC, ABC, CNN, CBS and NBC now in, the 10 Am – 3:30 Pm Et hearing stumbled against another big ticket testimony. The Wednesday event, that the former Celebrity Apprentice host insists he didn’t watch, was down a hard 32% from the audience that eyed pink slipped FBI Director James Comey’s appearance before our elected representatives in June 2017.

House Democrats’ impeachment case hinges on whether the Trump administration pursued a quid pro quo with Ukraine, withholding military aid and a White House invitation in order to extort new President Volodymyr Zelensky into investigating Joe Biden and the 2016 election.
If President Trump did engage in such a quid pro quo, it would amount to precisely the type of abuse of power the Founding Fathers had in mind when they wrote the impeachment clause into the Constitution. But after a month of damning testimony from an array of witnesses with...

If you wanted confirmation Republicans plan to turn impeachment into a spectacle, the witness wish list the House Republicans sent to committee chairman Adam Schiff on Saturday makes it clear. The list includes, among others, former vice president Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, as well as the anonymous whistleblower who took concerns over Trump’s phone call with Ukraine’s president to the inspector general.

The impeachment inquiry launched last month by Democrats in the House of Representatives has already turned up a trove of evidence suggesting the Trump administration offered a quid pro quo to Ukraine. No witness laid it out with more clarity than U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Bill Taylor did last week. In a gasp-inducing 15-page opening statement, Taylor cited several interactions that indicated U.S. military aid for Ukraine and President Volodymyr Zelensky’s invitation to the White House were both conditional on his administration launching investigations into both the 2016 election and the Biden family.

Yes, Star Wars. But what about all the great John Williams scores from less famous movies? Here are 15 of them...
Cinema's most esteemed and popular film composer, John Williams, turned 85 this year (you might have seen the recent spectacular BBC Proms concert in his honour). Careers don't come more astonishing than that of Williams, nominated for 50 Academy Awards which puts him second only to Walt Disney for the most ever.
See related What does Iron Fist tell us about Marvel's Defenders? The Defenders: recapping Netflix's Marvel universe so far The Defenders: brand new images released
However it's all too tempting to boil Williams' career down to the more obvious highlights: Star Wars, the Indy trilogy, Superman, E.T., Jurassic Park and the like. In truth, he's a far more versatile composer than many like to give him credit for, and he's much more than just a big themes guy.

From Star Trek and Field Of Dreams to The Rocketeer and Krull: we salute the film scores of the late, great James Horner.
When composer James Horner died in a plane crash in June 2015, cinema lost one of its most profoundly emotional voices, and the final chapter on Horner's astonishing career has now closed with his last work: Antoine Fuqua's Western remake The Magnificent Seven. Horner actually wrote the score based on the script before the film even started production, such was his passion for it, and it's been posthumously completed by his longtime collaborator Simon Franglen.
To mark the occasion, here are the 25 most seminal scores from a lamented, legendary figure of film music.
1. Legends Of The Fall (1994)
Despite his reputation as a composer of melodrama, throughout much of the eighties and early nineties Horner had largely been pegged as a bold composer of action,...

As 2012 recedes into history, Ivan counts down his pick of the year's finest movie soundtracks...
While Den of Geek writers were busy voting for the top film of the year, I’ve been rifling through my collection of albums from the last 12 months to work out which film soundtrack was the best. The conclusion? It’s been one heck of a year. (Please excuse the long list of Honourable Mentions at the end…)
These are the best movie soundtracks of 2012. Probably.
1. The Master (Jonny Greenwood)
A quick rewatch of the trailer to Paul Thomas Anderson’s film reminds you of the power of Jonny Greenwood’s music. The Master is surpassed by its haunting score, which nails the psychological state of Joaquin Phoenix’s Able-Bodied Seamen, increasingly dominated by His Master’s Voice. It may not be as lyrical as Greenwood’s Norwegian Wood soundtrack,...

However, Rgm executive director Tim Morrison told the Asx that operating cash flows for the June quarter were unusually high relative to customer receipts.
