Thursday, Hollywood performer Bette Midler asked the American voters why would they give their vote to “hideous” Donald Trump.

“Why would any thinking American ever vote for hideous #DonaldTrump?” Midler asked her followers on Twitter.

“He’s killed 220,000 million of us!” She continued.

“He wants to take healthcare away from 30 million people DURING A F*KING PANDEMIC! Who does that? And why?”

“Because people’s lives aren’t terrible enough, they must be worse?” she added.

Warning: Strong language.

Reactions were mixed, including:

“You got Bette!” Cheered one Twitter user.

“None of this is true,” said another comment.

“Not everything you think is true.”

Today, Rep. Doug Collins, along with Rep. Andy Biggs, introduced a resolution pushing for the House to demand the removal of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Rep. Collins tweeted the resolution and wrote “Nancy Pelosi’s unwillingness to abide by the Constitution, combined with her recent actions, call into question her mental fitness.”

“Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s unwillingness to abide by the Constitution, combined with her recent actions, call into question her own mental fitness, which is why it’s critical that the House of Representatives demand her removal from the line of succession,” Collins said in a statement to Fox News.

A draft of Collins’ resolution, obtained by Fox News, argues that Pelosi “is unable to adequately serve as Speaker of the House of Representatives and should therefore be removed from her position.”

The resolution states that Pelosi “has spent the majority of the House of Representative’s time pursuing baseless and fruitless investigations” against President Trump and his administration, including launching an impeachment inquiry against him in the fall of 2019.

The resolution continues: “On October 31, 2019, Speaker Nancy Pelosi oversaw the first party-line vote to begin an impeachment inquiry into a president in the history of our country.”

Sabine Durden, an angel mom who supports President Donald Trump and spoke at the 2016 RNC convention is featured in a new film titled “America’s Forgotten” that sheds light on some of the harsher aspects of illegal immigration.

Filmmaker Namrata Singh Gujral says she’s concerned her expose will get her blackballed in Hollywood and the film even includes the disclaimer “due to the possible political backlash all credits have been voluntarily withheld by the crew of this film.”

One scene in the trailer features Joe Biden raising his hand when the DNC debate moderator asks “raise your hand if your government plan would provide coverage for undocumented immigrants.”

The film is set to be released Friday, October 16th on vimeo and on the the film’s website.

Sabine Durden, whose son Dominic was tragically killed by an illegal immigrant who struck him while he was driving a motorcycle, discussed her experience working on the film.

“When I received my first call from Democrat filmmaker and Hollywood producer Namrata Singh Gujral beginning of 2020, I wasn’t so sure I wanted to be part of this movie/ Documentary after she told me it would also involve, amongst others, the story of an illegal woman that now lives in Los Angeles,” she said.

“She was persistent and even though I informed her that I would not travel during Covid 19 and gave her names of other angel parents closer to her in Los Angeles, she wouldn’t take NO for an answer. She wanted to tell Dominic’s life and story after she researched him and all I have been doing since his death 7-12-2012,” Durden continued.

Durden explained “The more we talked, the more her vision became clear to me and she was open to my take and experience with illegal immigration and the brutal cost of it. Namrata was willing to keep an open mind and changed her previous opinion about illegal immigration. We became friends that trust each other and Namrata honored my request to NOT call them ‘ undocumented immigrants’ because that term is insulting to all of us immigrants who follow the law and stand in line to earn the right to be here in America LEGALLY. She filmed in Moreno Valley, California, where Dominic and I lived, his school, where he volunteered and worked and where he sadly died.”

“This film will not just wake you up, Inform you with truth and show real lives affected, but it will make you cry and angry because afterwards it will have you wonder how this could have happened, still happens and how it could affect your family in many ways at any given moment,” Durden added.

The Angel mom also vowed “Dominic will NEVER be forgotten, his legacy and life well-lived, will continue to be shared, talked about and hopefully bring change.”

During the end of her interview with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, Joe Biden’s running mate Kamala Harris was asked about the fly that landed on Vice President Mike Pence’s head during their debate, leading to an extended laughing fit.

“I just realized I would kick myself if I didn’t just ask you,” Rachel Maddow began.

“Before I let you go, if you noticed the fly on Vice President Mike Pence’s head?”

“Oh, Rachel,” Kamala Harris said while smiling broadly and trying to contain her laughter while nodding.

After the two of them laughed together, Harris concluded “You know, Rachel, I think that it’s important that we find a way to move on and fly away from this subject onto something else.”

Earlier this week, VP Pence said that he was completely ignorant of the fly’s presence on his head. “I didn’t know he was there,” he said on Fox News’ The Daily Briefing Monday.

Pence, chuckling, added that he learned about the moment from his children upon leaving the debate stage.

Earlier today, Joe Biden’s running mate Kamala Harris asked Judge Amy Coney Barrett if voting discrimination exist in the United States.

“My question is do you agree with Justice Roberts who said, ‘Voting discrimination still exists. ‘No one doubts that.’ Do you agree with that statement?” Harris asked.

Barrett replied “Senator Harris I will not comment on what any justice said in an opinion. Whether an opinion is right or wrong, or endorse that proposition.”

“Do you call it a proposition or a fact?” Kamala Harris fired back at Judge Amy Coney Barrett.

“Are you saying you don’t agree with a fact?” Harris added.

Watch the Harris/Barrett voting discrimination exchange from today’s Senate hearing on the link bellow:

During a heated exchange on the topic of Griswold v. Connecticut, Judge Amy Coney Barrett stood up to Democrat Senator Chris Coons and said “I Hope That You Aren’t Suggesting That I Do Not Have My Own Mind”

Barrett said “To be clear, as I think I said in response to this question yesterday, I do share Justice Scalia’s approach to text, originalism and textualism, but in the litany of cases you just identified, the particular votes that he cast are a different question of whether I would agree with the way he applied those principles in particular cases.”

“And I have already said, and I hope that you aren’t suggesting that I do not have my own mind or I could not think independently or that I would just decide, “Oh, let me see what Justice Scalia said about this in the past,” because I assure you I have my own mind,” she said.

“But everything that he said is not necessarily what I would agree with or what I would do if I were Justice Barrett.”

“That was Justice Scalia. So I share his philosophy, but I’ve never said that I would always reach the same outcome that he did,” she added.

Wednesday, Democrat Senator Hirono asked Judge Amy Coney Barrett “do you think having 3 justices who have worked on the republican side on Bush v Gore, you’re one of those justices, should you be confirmed?”

Hirono also said that it “creates an appearance of conflict if an election case involving a President who nominated you comes before the court and i’m basically out of time so i’d like a yes or no answer.”

Barrett told Hirono “Listen, Senator Hirono I answered that question before and said any question of whether there was an appearance of partiality probably would be one for all justices involved to consider under the recusal statute.”

She also further clarified “What I meant to say is that in every case, judges have an obligation to consider the issues and they may conclude, ‘No.’ What I meant to be saying was just not to take a position.”

Barrett said she wanted to clarify that “the work that some of the justices may have done on Bush v. Gore is reason to recuse, that is certainly not what I meant.”

She said, “What I meant is that in every case, judges have an obligation to consider the issues and they may conclude, ‘No.’ What I meant to be saying was just not to take a position.”

Moments ago, Democrat Senator Blumenthal asked Judge Amy Coney Barrett “do you believe that human beings cause global warming?”

Barrett replied that she is not qualified to answer and whatever her opinions would be are not relevant to the work she would do as a judge.

Blumenthal also asked Barrett to think about how she would feel if she were LGBTQ and heard a Supreme Court nominee decline to answer on the questions of whether the case of Obergefell v. Hodges, which legalized same-sex marriage, was properly decided.

Barrett described climate change as “a very contentious matter of public debate.”

Kamala Harris later on Wednesday again pushed Judge Barrett on where she stands on climate change. Harris said that Barrett made it clear she believes climate science is “debatable” after the Supreme Court nominee said she would “not express a view on a matter of public controversy, especially when it’s politically controversial.”

In response to a question from GOP Sen. John Kennedy on climate change Tuesday, Barrett also said, “You know, I’m certainly not a scientist.”

“I have read things about climate change — I would not say I have firm views on it,” Barrett went on to say.
