Bill Cosby sentenced to three to 10 years in prison (The Hill)
Bill Cosby was sentenced Tuesday to three to 10 years in state prison by a Pennsylvania judge for conviction of sexual assault in 2004, according to news reports.

Trump brushes off laughing UN audience, doubles down on ‘America First’ (FOX News)
President Trump was met with awkward laughter from a U.N. General Assembly audience on Tuesday while boasting of successes under his administration, but brushed off the response as he doubled down on an “America First” agenda at the globalist body.
Trump prompted laughter and gasps from the audience when he claimed that “in less than two years, my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country.”
“I didn’t expect that reaction, but that’s OK,” he chuckled in response. [Read More]
Your College Major Helps Determine How Much You Make, Feminists Hardest Hit (The Daily Wire)
Yet again, we learn that your college major plays a big role in how much you make right out of school and beyond.
CBS reported on a new study from Payscale, which found that, even more than an Ivy-League education, majoring in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) will net the highest income right out of college and beyond. Petroleum engineering, for example, pays $83,000 a year right out of college, the highest of any other major, and engineering skills are in demand, so going to a top-ranked school is less important.

Sen. Ted Cruz driven from Washington restaurant by anti-Kavanaugh protesters (USA Today)
Sen. Ted Cruz was driven from an upscale restaurant Monday night by a crowd of protesters chanting, “We believe survivors.”
In a video posted on social media, a woman approaches the Texas Republican and his wife Heidi as they prepare to sit at their table at Fiola, an Italian restaurant in Washington’s Penn Quarter neighborhood. She asks Cruz how he plans to vote on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, as the chant begins to grow in the background.
“Hi. I’d love to talk with you about Brett Kavanaugh tonight,” the woman says. “I’m a constituent. Love to know what your vote is going to be tonight. I know that you’re very close friends with Mr. Kavanaugh. And do you believe survivors, sir?”
Two women, Christine Blasey Ford and Deborah Ramirez, have accused Kavanaugh of past sexual misconduct. Kavanaugh has denied the allegations. [Read More]
NATIONAL ONE-HIT WONDER DAY: WHAT ARE THE TOP ONE-HIT WONDERS? (Newsweek)
Some music careers last a lifetime, while others are destined to be just a flash in the pan. While those who found success with only one song won’t usually go down in history as part of the greats, America pays homage to those one-hit wonders on a day just for them. Tuesday marks National One-Hit Wonder Day, dedicated to those songs everyone sings along to in the car and picks first for karaoke.
But, when it comes to those single creations of greatness, which reign supreme?
It likely depends on who you ask. People ranging from the Spotify playlist creator to the top music magazine have come out with their own lists.
VH1 compiled its own list of the top 100 one-hit wonders, and taking the top spot was a song that even those with the rhythm of a recently starched shirt can dance to—Los del Rio’s “Macarena.” Whether you know any lyrics to the song other than shouting “Macarena” at the end of each chorus, when this song comes on, you’re likely to get moving.
