No, Roy Moore accuser didn't admit she forged his signature in her yearbook

A conspiracy-minded website attempted to cast doubt on evidence presented by one of eight women who accused Roy Moore of sexual assault in a misleading headline days ahead of the Alabama Senate race.

"WE CALLED IT! Gloria Allred Accuser **ADMITS** She Tampered With Roy Moore’s Yearbook ‘Signature’ (VIDEO)," the headline reads on The Gateway Pundit. We found similar posts on Breitbart, "Roy Moore Accuser Beverly Nelson Admits She Forged Yearbook," and on the blog Silence is Consent, "Roy Moore accuser admits she forged yearbook inscription."



But Nelson does not claim she tampered with Moore’s actual signature. She said she added a time and location below the signature. Nelson still attributes the note and signature to Moore.

We rate the statement Pants on Fire.

FEMA to Claw Back Overtime Pay From Employees After Record Number of Natural Disasters

The Federal Emergency Management Agency announced that employees who worked extra hours during a string of natural disasters this year will have to return some of their overtime pay.

According to Bloomberg, the claw-back is due to the fact that federal employees have a cap on premium pay and agencies can demand money they paid beyond the maximum be returned via the employees’ future paychecks. Given the multiple devastating hurricanes that hit the Gulf states, the subsequent flooding and the wildfires raging across the Western United States, FEMA has said it might have to start billing the employees who worked around the clock on those matters to reclaim the overtime pay they earned.

One FEMA staffer told Bloomberg that clawing back the money could reduce the willingness of FEMA employees or other Homeland Security staff to sign up for future deployment

Senate Budget Committee votes 12-11 to advance tax bill

The Senate Budget Committee has voted to advance the Senate tax bill by a 12-11 margin, with only Republicans voting in favor. GOP leadership hopes to bring the bill up for a vote before the full Senate by the end of the week.

Why it matters: The 12-11 vote was just a procedural move, but it was a critical hurdle given that some Republicans had expressed concerns about the bill. Two Republicans who had been holding out, Bob Corker and Ron Johnson, both voted "yes."

FreedomWatch sues to remove Mueller

FreedomWatch sues to remove Mueller


A conservative group filed suit on Monday seeking to remove special counsel Robert Mueller from the Justice Department’s investigation into Russian meddling.

Conservative lawyer Larry Klayman, the founder of the watchdog group FreedomWatch, filed acomplaint in U.S. district court that seeks to force the Justice Department to investigate leaks from the special counsel, as well as “the obvious conflicts of interest among staff.”

The complaint against Attorney General Jeff Sessions and FBI director Christopher Wray states that “it is a criminal offense to leak grand jury information” and seeks Mueller’s removal.

“Robert Mueller is not a ‘man of integrity’ as the Washington, D.C., Democrat and Republican political establishment like to spin,” Klayman said in a statement. “He is just another pol who is representing his establishment benefactors in both political parties who want to see the presidency of Donald Trump destroyed.”

Trump Just Told The Widow of Slain US Sergeant He Knew What He Signed Up For



According to Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL), Trump called Myeshia Johnson and spoke to her for about five minutes. Wilson rode in the car with Johnson and overheard the President’s words.

What words of comfort did he have to offer the grieving, pregnant mother of two?

He must have known what he signed up for. He said it more than once. How could you say that to a grieving widow? This man has no feelings for anyone” recounts a stunned Rep Wilson.

When the bodies of the four men killed in Niger were brought back to America, Donald Trump was golfing.
But let us recall that President Trump had no problem bringing out the white widow of the Navy SEAL who was killed in his first disastrous raid in Yemen – a raid he couldn’t be bothered to be in the Situation Room for – as a political prop during his Joint Address to Congress.
