Meet Noel Francisco, The Rock-Ribbed

Conservative Who Would Replace Rod Rosenstein

by Benny Johnson

{ dailycaller.com } ~ Were Rod Rosenstein to resign as deputy attorney general, the Department of Justice’s rules of succession dictate that Solicitor General Noel Francisco would assume his post... pending President Donald Trump appointing someone outside the rules of succession. Francisco is currently the third-highest ranking official in the Department of Justice and would take over supervision of the dirty cop-Robert Mueller-run special counsel investigation, which has been ongoing since May 2017. Francisco would  hypothetically have the authority to fire dirty cop-Mueller and end the investigation, were he to assume the new position. Francisco has rock-ribbed conservative credentials. He is a veteran clerk of late Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia and worked for the George W. Bush legal team during the Florida recount and the Bush White House as associate counsel to President Bush. Francisco worked for the Department of Justice in the Bush administration before moving back to private practice, where he argued multiple cases before the Supreme Court. Interestingly, Francisco is no fan of special counsels and is a firm advocate for the president’s constitutional power to shape the bureaucracy around him. He rebuked the vast investigative authority of “career prosecutors” looking into presidential administrations and has argued before the Supreme Court that the president has the authority to directly hire-and-fire every federal official who are behaving in a “subordinate” manner...

‘A Man of Honor, Integrity’: More High School

Female Friends Defend Kavanaugh

by Rachel del Guidice

{ dailysignal.com } ~ Women who have known Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh personally and/or professionally gathered Friday to assert that the allegations of sexual abuse against him are false... “Those of us who know Brett best, now and in high school, know that he is a man of honor, integrity, and compassion. He has always been a good person and is a true friend,” said Meghan McCaleb. McCaleb has known Kavanaugh since high school and her sister dated him. “The Brett Kavanaugh I know was there when one of my closest friends lost her husband to Lou Gehrig’s disease, and he invited my friend’s daughter to the father-daughter dance that first year, and every year since,” McCaleb said at a news conference at the JW Marriott hotel in Washington. “The Brett Kavanaugh I know was days away from his confirmation hearing when my father passed away.” She added that Kavanaugh skipped his confirmation hearing preparation to be present at her father’s funeral, then “prepared all afternoon for his hearing, and then asked if he could stop by my house that night to chat with my mom and my family.” McCaleb was joined at the press conference by more than 70 other women who either knew Kavanaugh as peers in high school or as professional colleagues to share their stories and why they don’t believe the allegations of sexual assault from Christine Blasey Ford...

Who Is Karl Marx?

by Paul Kengor

{ prageru.com } ~ When writing The Communist Manifesto, Karl Marx thought he was providing a road to utopia... But everywhere Marx’s ideas were tried, they resulted in catastrophe and mass murder. In this video, Paul Kengor, Professor of Political Science at Grove City College, illuminates the life of the mild-mannered 19th Century German whose ideas were embraced by the most brutal dictators in world history. Sounds like what the dummycrats-dems want.  https://www.prageru.com/videos/who-karl-marx

It’s Time to Crush the MeToo Movement: It Is a Threat to Justice

by Sylvia Thompson

{ barbwire.com } ~ Patriotic men of America, if you have not as yet discerned what you are facing in another vile, pernicious leftist movement—MeToo, to be exact—I humbly suggest it is time for you to clear your vision... This latest travesty against justice and fair play manifested in the gaggle of man-hating females persecuting Judge Brett Kavanaugh slated to be the next replacement on the Supreme Court should be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. It behooves all of us to keep in mind that women do lie about sexual harassment because in doing so, they can wield an unjust power over innocent men. Currently, we have a leftist woman, working in conjunction with the socialist dummycrats-Democrat Party machine, trying feverishly to derail Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination—shades of another leftist tool, Anita Hill, who attempted to do the same thing to Supreme Court nominee Judge Clarence Thomas. I’m sitting here thinking, “Why the hell is America putting up with this mockery of justice, again?” As a woman, I am not so much sickened by the fact that some women are indeed psychologically broken, and do believe all men are their enemies. What disgusts me even more is the spineless way that so many men pander to these twisted women. The MeToo movement does a grave disservice to women and womanhood in general, and especially to the many women who are genuine victims of criminal assaults. The movement demeans women by attaching such serious offenses as rape and sexual brutalization to their leftist cause of eventually destroying maleness in our culture. Of course, they could never physically take down men they would be justly obliterated, but they have, to a large degree, neutered many America men, and they are actively destroying boys through the leftist education system...  https://barbwire.com/its-time-to-crush-the-metoo-movement-it-is-a-threat-to-justice/

‘Innocent Until Proven Guilty’ Doesn’t Apply to Conservatives

by JIM GERAGHTY

{ nationalreview.com } ~ Making the click-through worthwhile: Judge Brett Kavanaugh now faces two accusers with no witnesses... a showcase of how journalism standards have changed in just 15 years, Senator Hirono’s conditional belief in the rights of the accused and the allegations against Representative scumbag-Keith Ellison, and tales from the third-grade soccer field. Two Accusers, No Witnesses. We now have two named women accusing Judge Brett Kavanaugh of acts that are, if not crimes and are beyond any criminal statute of limitations, repugnant and reflecting a poor character. If either accusation was definitively proven, it would be difficult to picture Judge Kavanaugh serving on the Supreme Court. There are plenty of fine judges and legal minds who haven’t committed acts like this. But we’re still a long, long way from proving either accusation. Both allegations stem from the accuser’s memory of events of 35 or 36 years ago. In both cases, the accusers say they had been drinking alcohol before the actions; in both cases, the accusers admit they cannot recall key details. The second accuser, Deborah Ramirez, offered her description of events in The New Yorker in an article published last night. The article includes an explanation of a changing account: “She was at first hesitant to speak publicly, partly because her memories contained gaps because she had been drinking at the time of the alleged incident. In her initial conversations with The New Yorker, she was reluctant to characterize Kavanaugh’s role in the alleged incident with certainty.” Last night’s report included the stunning line that the magazine has “not confirmed with other eyewitnesses that Kavanaugh was present at the party.” That’s a pivotal point to nail down, and the magazine actually did the opposite. All of the witnesses listed by the accuser are denying that the event occurred...

America's Totalitarians 

by Arnold Ahlert:  “We had to destroy the village in order to save it” was a quote popularized during the Vietnam War. Today’s dummycrats-Democrats, along with their allies in Hollywood, academia, Big Tech, and media, believe it is their solemn duty to take the country back from the “dregs of society” and their “ally in the White House,” even if our republic is destroyed.

             And they’re increasingly embracing totalitarianism as the means to their end.
               “I don’t use the ‘T’-word lightly,” writes columnist Sohrab Ahmari. “I’ve spent years pushing back against those who fling it about in free societies like ours. But totalitarianism doesn’t require cartoonish, 1984-style secret police and Big Brother. The classical definition is a society where everything — ethical norms and moral principles and truth itself — is subjugated to political ends.”
               Political ends dummycrats-Democrats are willing to trash the Constitution to achieve. Sens. Chuck scumbag/clown-Schumer (D-NY) and scumbag-Mark Warner (D-VA), and Reps. scumbag-Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Nancy Pulosi (D-CA) are demanding that the intelligence community, the FBI, and the Justice Department  defy President Donald Trump’s order to release unredacted documents to Congress until they are vetted by the so-called Gang of Eight, calling it a “brazen abuse of power.” Former CIA Director scumbag/commie-John Brennan insisted deep-state officials — unelected and publicly unaccountable officials — were obligated to “push back” against the order as well.
               Congress has lawfully subpoenaed the documents, yet a defiant deep state has refused to release them for months, citing “national security concerns.” Those concerns have already been debunked on two separate occasions, including the wiretap warrant applications presented to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court that ultimately revealed the warrant to spy on Carter Page was based on the liar-Hillary Clinton/ dummycrats- DNC-funded Steele dossier. Moreover, redactions made by the FBI removed critical exchanges such as this: Lisa Page: “[Trump’s] not ever going to become president, right? Right?!” Peter Strzok: “No. No he’s not. We’ll stop it.”
               Trump initially ordered “immediate declassification,” but now wants the inspector general to review documents on an “expedited basis,” due to concerns about how it would impact the Russia investigation. Yet in a tweet he noted that he can still “declassify if it proves necessary. Speed is very important to me — and everyone!”
               Indeed. The 2018 election is “not going to be just about economic growth and running on the economy,” Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) explains. “It’s going be about what the other side did to play dirty, to dirty up a campaign … by corrupting the FBI and the DOJ. That is important for the American people to know as we have to deliver that message going into October.”
               Who’s going to deliver it? The New York Times reported  that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein secretly proposed recording Trump’s Oval Office conversations and discussed the idea of Cabinet officials removing him via the 25th Amendment. Rosenstein insists he was joking. Times reporter Adam Goldman says otherwise.
               The far bigger story? Rosenstein’s statements were reportedly corroborated in memos written by Andrew McCabe and given to dirty cop-Robert Mueller and kept at the FBI, according to the Times. Yet they were kept from Inspector General Michael Horowitz — while he conducted his investigation of McCabe? If Horowitz is corrupt, “expedited basis” becomes a meaningless term with regard to deep-state corruption impacting the midterm election.
               Unfortunately, our law-enforcement agencies aren’t the only government departments where rank partisanship — bordering on sedition — exists. Last week Project Veritas released a trio of damning videos. One featured State Department employee and Metro DCdummycrats-Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) member Stuart Karaffa bragging about drafting DSA communications at work, and stating his mission with regard to Trump administration policies. “Resist everything … Every level. F—k s—t up,” he declared.
               The second video showed DOJ paralegal anddummycrats- DSA member Allison Hrabar, part of thedummycrats-DSA group that harassed DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen at a DC restaurant, bragging about using the department’s Lexis Nexis account to access home addresses of government officials DSA sought as protest targets. DOJ employee Jessica Schubel, former chief of staff for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, is also shown discussing her efforts to resist the administration as well.
               In the third video, Government Accountability Office auditor and dummycrats-DSA member Natarajan Subramanian admits he breaks rules “every day.” He boasted, “If you’re in an executive branch agency, you can slow-ball things to a degree.”
               Three of these subversives expressed one common belief best stated by Karaffa: “I have nothing to lose. It’s impossible to fire federal employees.”
               The DOJ, the State Department, and the GAO are conducting investigations, but if history is any indication, Karaffa’s right. At best it takes on average from 170 to 370 days to fire a government employee according to the GAO. Appeals can drag the process out for years.
               Columnist James Simpson optimistically notes there are bills being contemplated in both chambers of Congress that would “greatly streamline the process for firing employees who are poor performers, insubordinate, or otherwise engaged in misconduct.” Will they pass?
               Perhaps Simpson hasn’t noticed that some of the nation’s worst government employees are members of Congress.
               In fact, it’s impossible to imagine how much lowerdummycrats-Democrats can sink than their Stalin-esque  treatment of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanugh, or how much more spineless Republicans can get acquiescing to their contemptuously orchestrated delay. Sentient Americans know this spectacle has nothing to do with Kavanaugh or the increasingly dubious charges leveled against him. “From abortion to gay marriage, plus a host of less titillating issues, modern liberalism has lived by the Court,” Ahmari explains. “And liberals fear their cause will die by the Court.”
               Thus, force-feeding their agenda to the American public — by any means necessary — has become the American Left’s modus operandi. Can’t win elections? Insist Russian collusion was to blame and demand an investigation, call voter ID requirements “racist,” or simply grant illegals the right to vote. Don’t like the current administration’s foreign policy? Undermine it, like John Kerry is doing with Iran. Can’t persuade an American public to embrace your ideology? Have your progressive tech allies censor opposing viewpoints or manipulate searches;  transform college campuses and public schools into citadels of progressive indoctrination that breed contempt for the nation’s history, traditions, Constitution and its exceptionalism; and turn everything from entertainment venues to corporate business  operations into platforms for progressive virtue-signaling.
               It’s become clear that virtually every aspect of modern-day progressivism is driven by the same despicable delusions that have animated every totalitarian movement since the dawn of time:
               Our cause is “noble” and thus, the ends justify the means.  The 2018 election will likely be one of the most clarifying moments in the nation’s history. Either an American Left whose “win by any means necessary,” Constitution-crushing proclivities — never more exposed than right now — will be rejected by the electorate, or the number of Americans poisoned by a corrupt education system has reached critical mass, and a majority of voters will embrace totalitarianism, destroying America in order to “save” it. Save from whom? Themselves.

Kavanaugh Has Found 1982 Calendar,

Detailed Entries Help Clear His Name 

by BENJAMIN ARIE

{ westernjournal.com } ~ The last-minute attempt to derail Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation as the next Supreme Court justice has just hit a serious snag... Facing damaging but almost completely unsubstantiated claims that he acted improperly with a girl back when he was a teenager, the conservative nominee has dug into his personal archives to defend himself. Up until now, the vague accusations made by Christine Blasey  Ford had only resulted in a “he said, she said” stalemate. Liberals insisted that Blasey Ford’s story of a bad encounter at a drunken party be believed, while conservatives have pointed out that the nearly 40-year-old claim is impossible to verify. Finally, Kavanaugh has presented tangible evidence that the accusation doesn’t hold up. On Sunday, The New York Times  reported that the judge has found old calendars from the period when the unproven groping allegedly took place — and they appear to support his claim that the incident didn’t happen. “Kavanaugh has calendars from the summer of 1982 that he plans to hand over to the Senate Judiciary Committee that do not show a party consistent with the description of his accuser, Christine Blasey Ford,” explained The Times. “The calendar pages from June, July and August 1982, which were examined by The New York Times, show that Judge Kavanaugh was out of town much of the summer at the beach or away with his parents,” the newspaper continued... This is very good news.  https://www.westernjournal.com/ct/kavanaugh-1982-calendar-entries/?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=CTBreaking&utm_campaign=breaking&utm_content=conservative-tribune

The Burning of Brett Kavanaugh

by Deanna Chadwell

{ americanthinker.com } ~ Any thinking person today is hearing alarms going off in all directions over the Kavanaugh accusations... It’s obvious that this is all dirty politics; we can see that in the timing, in the fussiness about Ford testifying, in the nasty rhetoric that swirls in poisonous clouds throughout Washington. But the problem is much deeper. In the first place, we have no clearly defined morés for sexual behavior anymore. The sexual revolution has opened a multitude of fearful doors. Our young women find themselves defenseless in compromising situations and we have no guidance to give them. We have no way to counsel them -- or our young men either -– about just where the line is. Sex is now allowed, performed, promoted. Women feel they can behave in any way they wish, wear whatever they wish, and men have to hold that line and read feminine signals with no idea of what they mean. This looseness has been trending for decades and suddenly now we’ve turned puritanical and are horrified at the very thought of sexual advances happening. We have no clear idea of what, exactly, “sexual assault” means. From the precious little detail Ford has given, we can’t tell whether she’s describing teenaged roughhousing or attempted rape. She obviously wants us to picture the latter, but if she had suffered such a violent attack, would she not have been visibly distressed at the time? Wouldn’t friends have noticed? If anything happened at all between these two people, how do we know what it was, exactly? A hand brushing across a breast? Some pushing and shoving, playful or otherwise, that got out of hand? At what point do we know that a crime occurred? “Assault” is a violent, injury-producing attack. At least it used to be. A quick check with a dictionary defines “assault” as “an unlawful threat or attempt to do bodily injury to another.“ If Kavanaugh had actually committed such an act, wouldn’t that have been noticeable to others? Wouldn’t all the details be burned into her brain? You’d think so. Secondly, we live in a time in which men, especially white men, are automatically guilty -- of most everything, and in which women are all victims –- of everyone male. It is, in part, the vague definitions of sexual faux pas that have made this possible. Almost any advance a man makes can now be interpreted as over the line because no clear line exists. I find this disturbing. I’ve been around for a long time, worked with men for decades and have never known any who were sexually threatening, so this intense enmity between the sexes is incomprehensible to me...

Co-Author of Kavanaugh Hit Piece Admits

Witness Never Saw the Incident 

by Rusty

{ thepoliticalinsider.com } ~ The standard for what constitutes a printable story these days has taken a serious downturn... Jane Mayer, the co-author of the already thoroughly specious story claiming that another woman was the victim of inappropriate behavior from Supreme Court justice nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, admitted that her corroborating witness provided only a second-hand account of the story. Actually, she first claimed that “he remembers it the story clearly” before being cornered by CBS anchor John Dickerson. “Did he see it?” Dickerson asked. “No,” Mayer responded. “As I’ve said, he heard it from someone who was there.” And that right there is why multiple outlets passed on the story while a two-bit operation like the New Yorker ran with it. Numerous doubts have arisen from the latest accuser’s story. Deborah Ramirez claims that while she and Kavanaugh were both students at Yale, the future Supreme Court Justice exposed himself and by virtue caused her to touch him in a sexual manner. The proof behind Ramirez’s claim is completely non-existent...

A Month of Multiculturalism in Britain: August 2018

by Soeren Kern

{ gatestoneinstitute.org } ~ August 1. In a landmark ruling, a high court judge declared that a Muslim wife could divorce her husband and claim his assets... despite the fact that they married in an Islamic ceremony called a nikah, which is not legally recognized in Britain. In a written ruling, Mr. Justice Williams, who heard the case in the family division of the high court in London, concluded that the marriage fell within the scope of the 1973 Matrimonial Causes Act because the couple had expectations similar to those of a British marriage contract. The decision came after Nasreen Akhter divorced her husband, Mohammed Shabaz Khan, who attempted to block her separation on the basis that they were not legally married according to English law and only under Sharia law. Previous cases involving nikah marriages concluded that they were legally non-existent, meaning that spouses had no redress to the courts for a division of matrimonial assets if a marriage broke down. The ruling will make it easier for women who are married under Sharia law to divorce their husbands and split their assets. The ruling also appears to enshrine two parallel justice systems — British law and Sharia law — in Britain. August 2. British teenagers are being forced to marry abroad and are therefore effectively raped and often impregnated while the Home Office "turns a blind eye" by handing visas to their husbands, according to The Times. Officials received dozens of reports last year that women wanted to block visas to the UK for men they had been made to marry in countries Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and the United Arab Emirates. In almost half of the cases, records show, the visas were approved. Yvette Cooper, chairwoman of the home affairs select committee, said that she would demand answers from the Home Office over the findings. Experts believe there are thousands of victims in Britain, but that the vast majority are too afraid to come forward. August 3. Safaa Boular, 18, of Vauxhall, London, was sentenced to life in prison, with a minimum 13-year term, for plotting a jihadi attack on British soil. Alongside her mother and sister, who were imprisoned in June, Boular was part of Britain's first all-female ISIS cell. Boular presented herself at the trial in Western clothing and declared herself deradicalized, but Judge Mark Dennis QC warned that she posed an ongoing threat: "There is insufficient evidence...to conclude at this stage that the defendant is a truly transformed individual."...  https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/13015/multiculturalism-britain-august

Congress Is Using These Deceptive Tricks

to Drive Spending Higher

by Justin Bogie

{ dailysignal.com } ~ Congress is up to its old tricks again, trying to pass another massive spending bill that uses gimmicks and tricks to push deficit spending even higher... And it thinks it can hoodwink President Donald Trump into signing it. Next week, the House is expected to vote on a combined fiscal year 2018 continuing resolution and a fiscal year 2019 spending bill for the departments of Defense, Labor, and Health and Human Services. The “cromnibus” bill would provide over $855 billion in funding for 2019, making up two-thirds of the total discretionary budget. The Senate passed the measure on Tuesday. If the House passes the Senate version and the president signs it into law, the government will stay open past Sept. 30. But at what cost? Earlier this year, Congress busted the budget and with a whopping spending deal that ran up nearly $300 billion in new debt. This bill would continue those spending levels. Take the so-called savings from changes in mandatory programs. The bill claims nearly $8 billion in savings from such changes. This is the most commonly used gimmick to increase discretionary spending. These “savings” are included in appropriations bills as a rescission of funds, meaning that unspent money is taken back or spending is delayed until a subsequent year. Congress then uses these “savings” and puts the money toward other unrelated programs...

NYT Exposing Rosenstein's Insubordination to Bait Trump? 

by Thomas Gallatin:  Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s days may be numbered. On Friday, The New York Times reported that in the spring of 2017, Rosenstein “suggested … that he secretly record President Trump” and even floated the idea of “recruiting cabinet members to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Mr. Trump from office for being unfit.” The Times claims Rosenstein was motivated to do this soon after Trump fired former FBI Director James Comey, because Trump cited Rosenstein’s memo that was critical of Comey’s handling of the liar-Hillary Clinton email  investigation as justification. Rosenstein was, the Times says, “caught off guard” and “he began telling people that he feared” Trump had used him.

             The Times article noted that no actions were ever taken to follow through on Rosenstein’s suggestions. Rosenstein, not surprisingly, has denied the story, calling it “inaccurate and factually incorrect,” adding, “I will not further comment on a story based on anonymous sources who are obviously biased against the department and are advancing their own personal agenda. But let me be clear about this: Based on my personal dealings with the president, there is no basis to invoke the 25th Amendment.”
               Interestingly, The Washington Post and NBC News countered the Times story, reporting that Rosenstein’s statements were made in jest. However, infamous former FBI lawyer Lisa Page saw it otherwise, indicating in a memo on the meeting that she took Rosenstein’s secret taping comment seriously. (Can we take Page seriously, though?) And National Review’s Andrew McCarthy, who has closely followed the entire Trump/Russia collusion saga from the beginning, called Rosenstein’s denial of the Times story a “non-denial denial,” while also noting how Rosenstein has flip-flopped in his attempts to appease the Washington establishment.
               Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) responded, “It’s not a very funny joke.” He later added, “One thing that’s clear whether you’re a Republican or dummycrats-Democrat president, you have a right to a deputy attorney general that doesn’t think you’re incompetent and doesn’t feel the need to audio tape conversations with you.”
               Trump has repeatedly expressed his frustration with Rosenstein (and even more so with Rosenstein’s boss, AG Jeff Sessions), specifically regarding his appointment of dirty cop-Robert Mueller as special counsel. This latest story now seemingly gives Trump justification to win greater Republican support should he decide to fire Rosenstein. However, the firing of Rosenstein seems to be exactly what dummycrats-Democrats are begging for, which may be the motive for the Times to publish this story.   dummycrats-Democrats and their Leftmedia allies are baiting Trump to act before the midterm elections, whichdummycrats- Democrats will use as evidence to support their long-running charge of Trump’s supposed obstruction. It would behoove Trump to wait until after the midterms before pulling the cord on Rosenstein. But reports this morning indicate that Rosenstein anticipates Trump will fire him today. Stay tuned.
               Update: As of Monday afternoon, Rosenstein will reportedly remain in the job. At least until he meets with Trump on Thursday…

 Judge Pirro Slams dummycrats-Dems

Handling of Kavanaugh Allegation 

by rickwells.us 

{ rickwells.us } ~ Judge Jeanine Pirro delivered a resounding rebuke of Christine Blasey Ford and her defenders Saturday... saying in effect that their disdain and disregard for basic jurisprudence threaten to undermine America’s entire justice system. She began her rant  by noting that the justice system is based on these fundamental principles: Every accused party has a right to due process, a right to a speedy trial, a right to have no charges/warrants filed without probable cause, a right to a trial by jury, a right to confront his/her accuser and a right to the presumption of innocence. The problem is that Ford and her liberal dummycrats-Democrat sycophants want to abandon these fundamental principles, as evidenced by their outlandish demands, including that she allowed to testify after Kavanaugh and that she not be questioned by his attorneys.

New Yorker Publishes Accusation Containing ZERO Evidence

to Support, and 100% of Evidence To Refute

by sundance

{ theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ This is beyond bizarre.  Seriously.  Forget the salacious details in the story…. the construct of the story is so stunningly flawed it is jaw-dropping as presented. The New Yorker runs an article about an accusation made by a woman named Deborah Ramirez 53,  about a freshman party at Yale, where she claims she was in a drunken stupor and Judge Brett Kavanaugh, then 18, pulled out his penis during a drinking game. The accuser did give the New Yorker six names to support her claim. Six witnesses Deborah Ramirez stated could substantiate her accusation. And when the New Yorker interviewed them, ALL SIX said it never happened. […] “In a statement, two of those male classmates who Ramirez alleged were involved the incident, the wife of a third male student she said was involved, and three other classmates, Dino Ewing, Louisa Garry, and Dan Murphy, disputed Ramirez’s account of events: “We were the people closest to Brett Kavanaugh during his first year at Yale. He was a roommate to some of us, and we spent a great deal of time with him, including in the dorm where this incident allegedly took place. Some of us were also friends with Debbie Ramirez during and after her time at Yale.” “We can say with confidence that if the incident Debbie alleges ever occurred, we would have seen or heard about it—and we did not. The behavior she describes would be completely out of character for Brett. In addition, some of us knew Debbie long after Yale, and she never described this incident until Brett’s Supreme Court nomination was pending. Editors from the New Yorker contacted some of us because we are the people who would know the truth, and we told them that we never saw or heard about this.”” ...

Report to Congress on Status of Iran’s Nuclear Programs

by news.usni.org 

{ news.usni.org } ~ Iran’s nuclear program began during the 1950s. The United States has expressed concern since the mid-1970s that Tehran might develop nuclear weapons... Iran’s construction of gas centrifuge uranium enrichment facilities is currently the main source of proliferation concern. Gas centrifuges can produce both low-enriched uranium (LEU), which can be used in nuclear power reactors, and weapons-grade highly enriched uranium (HEU), which is one of the two types of fissile material used in nuclear weapons. The United States has assessed that Tehran possesses the technological and industrial capacity to produce nuclear weapons, but has not yet mastered all of the necessary technologies for building such weapons. Whether Iran has a viable design for a nuclear weapon is unclear. A National Intelligence Estimate made public in 2007 assessed that Tehran “halted its nuclear weapons program” in 2003. The estimate, however, also assessed that Tehran is “keeping open the option to develop nuclear weapons” and that any decision to end a nuclear weapons program is “inherently reversible.” U.S. intelligence officials have reaffirmed this judgment on several occasions. Obtaining fissile material is widely regarded as the most difficult task in building nuclear weapons. As of January 2014, Iran had produced an amount of LEU containing up to 5% uranium-235 which, if further enriched, could theoretically have produced enough HEU for as many as eight nuclear weapons. Iran had also produced LEU containing nearly 20% uranium-235; the total amount of this LEU would, if it had been in the form of uranium hexafluoride and further enriched, have been sufficient for a nuclear weapon. After the Joint Plan of Action, which Tehran concluded with China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States collectively known as the “P5+1”, went into effect in January 2014, Iran either converted much of its LEU containing nearly 20% uranium-235 for use as fuel in a research reactor located in Tehran, or prepared it for that purpose. Iran has diluted the rest of that stockpile so that it contained no more than 5% uranium-235...

Grassley: dummycrats-Dems Withheld

Information on New Kavanaugh Allegation

by EMILY BIRNBAUM

{ thehill.com } ~ A spokesperson for Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) on Sunday night said... the panel will "attempt to evaluate" new allegations of sexual misconduct regarding Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. The spokesperson in a statement slammed dummycrats-Democrats for "withholding information" regarding the allegations. "Yet again, Senate dummycrats- Democrats actively withheld information from the rest of the Committee only to drop information at politically opportune moments," the statement said, doubling down on his remarks that dummycrats-Democrats withheld the first allegation against Kavanaugh from Christine Blasey Ford, who went public last week. The spokesperson said the dummycrats-Democrats appear to be "more interested in a political takedown" than "pursuing allegations through a bipartisan and professional" investigation. "Of course, we will attempt to evaluate these new claims," the statement added. Deborah Ramirez in a New Yorker report alleged that Kavanaugh exposed himself without her consent during a Yale University gathering in the 1980s, when they were both students. She said he thrusted his penis in her face, forcing her to touch it when she pushed him away...  https://thehill.com/business-a-lobbying/408033-grassley-panel-will-attempt-to-evaluate-new-kavanaugh-allegations

Destroying Kavanaugh, One Scripted Attack at a Time 

by Nate Jackson:  dummycrats-Democrats sure know how to script a thorough character assassination.

             On Sunday, Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) announced a deal with Christine Blasey Ford to testify before the Senate this Thursday regarding allegations that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh attempted to rape her when he was a drunk 17-year-old and she was a drunk 15-year-old, approximately in 1982 (she’s not sure). Contemporaries have lined up to deny Blasey Ford’s allegation.
               The Party of liar-Bill Clinton waited until that hearing had been set before launching a second accusation Sunday night. Indeed, it’s obvious now that dummycrats-Democrats delayed Blasey Ford’s testimony at least in part in order to wait for the second story to break. Sen. Dianne Fein-stein (D-CA), puppet master of this whole contemptible charade, wasted no time in demanding “an immediate postponement of any further proceedings related to the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh.” That is dummycrats-Democrats’ endgame, after all. The delays will already almost certainly keep Kavanaugh from joining the Court before the beginning of its term on Oct. 1.
               Grassley has given dummycrats-Democrats everything they wanted.
               The second allegation was reported by The New Yorker’s Ronan Farrow and Jane Mayer. The pair also broke  Blasey Ford’s allegation without naming her, and Farrow authored the original #MeToo story blockbuster about Harvey Weinstein. Yet right off the bat, this latest scoop falls flat. For one thing, the authors don’t even get to the allegation until they tell us in the first paragraph thatdummycrats-Democrats are taking it “very seriously.”
               Did someone say “collusion”? Then on Monday, Farrow said the accuser “came forward because Senatedummycrats- Democrats came looking for this claim.” You don’t say.
               Deborah Ramirez, a classmate of Kavanaugh’s at Yale and a registered dummycrats-Democrat, “was at first hesitant to speak publicly, partly because her memories contained gaps because she had been drinking at the time of the alleged incident,” The New Yorker tells us. Fair enough. Hesitance doesn’t prove or disprove anything, as lots of women are afraid to report legitimate sexual assault, especially if they were too drunk to truly consent, fully function, or remember details.
               But the report continues, “In her initial conversations with The New Yorker, she was reluctant to characterize Kavanaugh’s role in the alleged incident with certainty. After six days of carefully assessing her memories and consulting with her attorney [emphasis added], Ramirez said that she felt confident enough of her recollections to say that she remembers Kavanaugh had exposed himself at a drunken dormitory party, thrust his penis in her face, and caused her to touch it without her consent as she pushed him away. Ramirez is now calling for the F.B.I. to investigate Kavanaugh’s role in the incident. ‘I would think an F.B.I. investigation would be warranted,’ she said.”
               As with Blasey Ford’s allegation, the FBI has no jurisdiction to investigate and has already conducted multiple, thorough  background checks on Kavanaugh.
               Later in the story, we learn that Ramirez admits to being “on the floor, foggy and slurring her words,” and she wasn’t even sure it was Kavanaugh, though she insists she remembers another student yelled, “Brett Kavanaugh just put his penis in Debbie’s face.” The report also cites an unidentified student who wasn’t at the party but says another student told him about an incident vaguely resembling the accusation at the time. Counter to that flimsy hearsay, “The New Yorker has not confirmed with other eyewitnesses that Kavanaugh was present at the party.” Moreover, six witnesses reached by The New Yorker — including Ramirez’s best friend — “disputed Ramirez’s account of events.”
               Yes, these unbelievably glaring weaknesses appear in a story hit piece meant to ruin Kavanaugh’s career.
               For his part, Kavanaugh said in a statement, “This alleged event from 35 years ago did not happen. The people who knew me then know that this did not happen, and have said so. This is a smear, plain and simple. I look forward to testifying on Thursday about the truth, and defending my good name — and the reputation for character and integrity I have spent a lifetime building — against these last-minute allegations.”
               Another major point against The New Yorker — The New York Times declined to publish the story, saying (buried deep in its own Kavanaugh report after Farrow’s scoop): “The Times had interviewed several dozen people over the past week in an attempt to corroborate her story, and could find no one with firsthand knowledge. Ms. Ramirez herself contacted former Yale classmates asking if they recalled the incident and told some of them that she could not be certain Mr. Kavanaugh was the one who exposed himself.”
               So to sum up, there’s as much corroboration for this story as there was for Blasey Ford’s — precisely none.
               Yet dummycrats-Democrats are gleefully using these coordinated and orchestrated attacks to destroy a good man, all as his wife and daughters endure death threats. Furthermore, these fake, uncorroborated, and unsubstantiated claims, politically scripted by Fein-stein and company, undermine the credibility of legitimate claims of abuse, and thus do enormous damage to those who have actually been abused.
               Thus dummycrats-Democrats leave a Category 5 wake of destruction in their crusade to destroy our republic.

Right about now, Rod Rosenstein should be sweating like a Kardashian on Jeopardy, but he is far from the only one who should be feeling the extreme heat.

Last Friday, the NY Times published a piece stating that Rosenstein had suggested wearing a wire to secretly record President Trump, as well as suggesting employing cabinet members to do the same, and then use the 25^th Amendment to deem President Trump unfit to hold the office, and remove him from office.

Make no mistake…that is a coup attempt…a plan to overthrow a sitting, duly elected President of the United States.

In no uncertain terms…

Did McCabe’s Team Plant the Rosenstein Story?

by greatamericanrepublic.com 

{ greatamericanrepublic.com } ~ There has been a lot of speculation about the origins of the Rod Rosenstein story, but this is the first to implicate former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and his team... It is reported that White House staff are becoming convinced that this is the case. As for Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, he is having no part of it and rejects it in no uncertain terms. White House insiders reportedly believe former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe’s team planted a story in the press suggesting Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is conspiring against the president, according to Politico on Saturday. McCabe’s colleagues allegedly concocted the ruse to bait President Donald Trump into firing Rosenstein ahead of November’s midterm elections, the report noted. Individuals within the West Wing believe the former FBI director’s team pushed the story to create political consequences for Trump, according to Politico. McCabe’s spokesman pushed back on any such assertions, Politico reported. The report refers to a Sept. 21 New York Times article suggesting Rosenstein discussed wearing a wire to record Trump and volunteered to recruit cabinet officials to potentially remove the Republican from office. Rosenstein allegedly made the remarks in meetings with Department of Justice (DOJ) and FBI officials shortly after the May 9, 2017, firing of scumbag-James Comey as FBI director. The deputy AG took part in scumbag-Comey’s ouster, writing a letter recommending that he be fired because of his handling of the liar-Hillary Clinton email investigation...

Kavanaugh Smear Proves dummycrats-Dems are Too

Radical and Ruthless for Voters to Trust with Power

by fedup.org 

{ fedup.org } ~ The Kavanaugh confirmation fight has proven that the dummycrats-Democrats are not only too radical to be trusted with the power of government... they are also far too ruthless and lacking in any moral limits. Having failed to make a case against Kavanaugh’s sterling record and abilities as a judge, the dummycrats-Democrats have resorted to an unscrupulous smear campaign. Without no evidence whatsoever, they have promoted the claim of a left-wing, anti-Kavanaugh professor, attacking Kavanaugh’s personal reputation. Carefully refraining from bringing up this accusation during private meetings with Kavanaugh, or asking a question during the public hearings, they waited to spring it at the last minute in order to prevent a vote. Now they demand an FBI investigation, even though Kavanaugh’s accuser cannot remember when it allegedly happened, where it happened, did not tell anyone about it, and says she was careful to act as if nothing had happened. Apparently, the FBI is supposed to interview her friends, ask them whether they were ever at a party where she acted as if nothing had happened, and then proclaim Kavanaugh guilty as charged. Consider the hypocrisy. These same dummycrats-Democrats were making every effort to put an accused rapist, liar-Bill Clinton, back into the White House as “First Gentleman.”  At that time they insisted on ignoring accusations that could not be conclusively proven, though Juanita Broderick’s case against liar-Clinton had some real, contemporary evidence to back it up. The dummycrats-Democrats have done this even though Judge Kavanaugh has a spotless reputation, and has been vouched for by dozens of women who knew him then and later. Nor has any other woman come forward with a similar accusation against him...

dummycrats-Dems poised to grill

Brett Kavanaugh on drinking, partying in high school

by Naomi Lim

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ dummycrats-Democrats are poised to ask questions about the drinking culture of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's high school... when the judge faces the Senate Judiciary Committee following a sexual misconduct allegation. "We want to hear — I would be wanting to hear what kind of environment it was in high school," Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, said Sunday during an interview with CNN's "State of the Union." "Apparently, there was a lot of drinking and partying going on," she continued. "This is why we need an investigation. We need an independent investigation that lays all of that out for us, so there's at least some chance of some outside entity, like the FBI, doing an investigation." Hirono, who sits on the panel, added she would do everything in her power to ensure Kavanaugh's accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, can talk to the committee about her claim that Kavanaugh drunkenly forced himself on her during a high school party in the 1980s "free of intimidation, fear and the kind of threats she's already getting for even coming forward with this." Ford, then a student at Maryland's Holton-Arms School, was 15 at the time of the alleged incident. Kavanaugh was a 17-year-old junior at nearby Georgetown Prep. He strongly denies the allegation. Echoing Hirono was Senate Minority Whip scumbag-Dick Durbin, D-Ill., who told ABC News' "This Week" that the alcohol line of inquiry was "relevant to the whole conversation."... These dummycrats-dems never drinked in HS or partied. If they say no, they are lying jerks.

scumbag-Ellison’s #MeToo Landmine Finally Blows,

dummycrats-Dem Says Allegations ‘Need To Be Investigated’

{ westernjournal.com } ~ dummycrats-Democrat U.S. Rep. scumbag-Keith Ellison is finally under fire from a dummycrats-Democrat senator for the sexual assault accusations... coming from scumbag- Ellison’s ex-girlfriend. After a period where most dummycrats-Democrats were quiet about the accusations against scumbag-Ellison, Hawaiian Sen. Mazie Hirono finally came out against him on Sunday. Hirono, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committe who has achieved a new prominence — and media power — since the confirmation hearings of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh made her a familiar face to many Americans, was asked by CNN  anchor Jake Tapper about scumbag-Ellison on “State of the Union”: “Wouldn’t the concern about Kavanaugh and Professor Ford be more credible if dummycrats-Democrats were also condemning similar charges against dummycrats-Democrats in their midst including Congressman scumbag-Ellison?” “I’ve been very clear that I make no excuses for anybody who engages in this kind of behavior,” Hirono said. She then suggested that the accusations against scumbag-Ellison should be investigated. “And as far as scumbag-Keith Ellison, these allegations need to be investigated and appropriate action taken.”...

For dummycrats-Dems in Ford-Kavanaugh

fight, believing is enough

by Byron York

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ What is perhaps most extraordinary about the all-out war over the Brett Kavanaugh nomination is how little the public knows about the accusations of Christine Blasey Ford... the woman who claims that at a high-school party in 1982, when she was 15, a drunken 17 year-old Kavanaugh forced her onto a bed, tried to undress her, and, when she tried to scream, covered her mouth with his hand. The problem with Ford's allegation is that she has produced no contemporaneous evidence to support it. The Washington Post, which interviewed Ford, reported that she "told no one of the incident in any detail until 2012, when she was in couples therapy with her husband." That was 30 years after the alleged event. Whether the phrase "in detail" has any significance is impossible to know -- did she tell someone in a vague manner? -- since the Post article is the only public information about Ford's account. Ford reportedly named a number of people who she said attended the party. None has so far corroborated her story. On Saturday, the Senate Judiciary Committee reached Ford classmate and friend Leland Ingham Keyser, who was said to have attended. "Ms. Keyser does not know Mr. Kavanaugh and she has no recollection of ever being at a party or gathering where he was present, with, or without, Dr. Ford," Keyser's lawyer wrote to the committee. Kavanaugh, of course, has strongly denied Ford's accusation. "I have never done anything like what the accuser describes -- to her or to anyone," he said. Contemporaneous accounts of the matter, either from people who were at the party or people Ford might have discussed it with shortly after, would be enormously valuable in assessing her allegations. That's why Ford supporters were so excited when a former classmate of Ford's, Cristina King Miranda, wrote on social media, "The incident DID happen, many of us heard about it in school." Inundated with questions from reporters, King quickly backtracked, telling NPR, "That it happened or not, I have no idea." When Ford did tell her story, to the therapist in 2012, there were some discrepancies between the therapist's notes and Ford's present account. It's unclear whether those discrepancies are significant, since all the public has is the Post story...

by Paul Jacob

{ townhall.com } ~ “Ask Tucker Carlson whatever happened to Tucker Carlson,” writes Lyz Lenz for the Columbia Journalism Review, “and he gets upset.”

Hmm. I guess some rich, white, male, conservative television hosts just don’t like being pigeonholed and belittled.

Ms. Lenz’s profile, entitled, “The mystery of Tucker Carlson,” details Carlson’s descent from apparent good guy to racist bad guy with 2.7 million viewers on Fox News and a conservative position on immigration.

How was he a good guy? Well, he once worked for CNN and MSNBC, and sometimes wrote articles that skewered Republicans. Side of the angels.

Now, however, he appears nightly as a new Grand Wizard.

“If you look at a lot of his early writings,” Lenz explains on CNN’s Reliable Sources, “there has always been kind of a latent racism.”

Always!

So, what is the evidence for this? Lenz dredges up this confession from Carlson’s past: “The idea that I’d be responsible for the sins or, for that matter, share in the glory of the accomplishments of dead people who happened to share my skin tone has always confused me.”

His confusion does not confuse Lenz, apparently. Not at all! Being resistant to racial identitarianism, which is all that Carlson fessed up to, amounts toracism, dontcha know.

The peculiarities of Lenz’s gumshoe work on the Carlson Mystery are not limited to uncovering the depths of his racism, though. She begins her piece focusing on “shouting.”

Tucker’s a shouter. She says. “‘You were definitely shouting before. That’s why this is funny,’ I say laughing nervously. ‘Because you are like, “I AM NOT SHOUTING!”’”

I guess those all-caps help. Case closed!

But there is a problem with writing this analysis out, orthographics aside. A strong, confrontational argumentation style is not understood in the exact same manner by everyone. What’s shouting to one person isn’t shouting to another. This is an area where people can honestly differ.

It’s all very subjective.

So could that be the excuse for Lyz Lenz’s odd forays into old-fashioned “New Journalism”?

In the course of regaling us with the factoid that Carlson is “worth over $8 million” and stands to inherit even more because his step mom is “Patricia Swanson of the Swanson frozen dinner fortune,” Lenz contrasts that with her own struggle as “a single mom, a freelance writer with two kids, swiftly facing a future with no health care.”

Uh, OK. Thanks for sharing? Lenz acknowledges that journalists are “not supposed to make it about ourselves,” but does anyway. CNN Money describes this as “daring,”

We learn more, alas. Lenz is divorcing her husband of 12 years, who is . . . gut-punch . . . a Republican. Their split “didn’t come because of the election,” she says, though “the election certainly revealed a lot of huge problems that we couldn’t overcome.”

Just as Tucker Carlson cannot fathom his responsibility for all Caucasoid sins, he probably won’t grok how her divorce could be in any way relevant to his peculiar essence, either.

Racist! Sexist! Meany!

Or just a Man of Mystery.

The latest *claim* defensive positioning from the camp of Rod Rosentein, is that the Deputy AG enlisted dirty cop-Robert Mueller because Rosenstein viewed McCabe as intent on abusing his office to take down the president. This inherent risk is the reason team McCabe leaked the damaging information on Rosenstein to the New York Times.

Iran blames U.S. and its allies for terror in Iranian city

by SETH J. FRANTZMAN 

{ jpost.com } ~ Iran blamed the US and its allies in the region, which includes Israel and Saudi Arabia, for an attack in Ahvaz on Saturday... that killed at least 25 and wounded dozens. The attack targeted a military parade that was attended by members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.  Twelve members of the IRGC were killed. The allegation will almost certainly ratchet up tensions with Iran’s regional rival Saudi Arabia and its Gulf allies, who along with the United States have been working to isolate the Islamic Republic. The four gunmen attacked the military parade in Ahvaz, in southwestern Iran, in an early morning attack that was one of the bloodiest in decades. The gunmen, disguised as local soldiers, sprayed participants with bullets and targeted a reviewing stand where commanders and senior regime leaders were standing. The parade had begun at around 9 a.m. Videos by witnesses at the event showed the moment the shots were fired. Dozens ran, including many of the soldiers present who didn’t initially use their weapons to engage the attackers. By noon the government accused “takfiri elements” for the attack, a reference to Sunni Muslim terrorists. “Their crime is in the continuation of plots hatched by the US-led governments in the region who aim to create insecurity in our dear country,” Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said, without mentioning the regional states he believed were to blame. Khamenei ordered security forces to bring to justice the “criminals” behind one of the worst attacks ever against the IRGC, which answers to him...  https://www.jpost.com/Middle-East/Iran-blames-US-and-its-allies-for-terror-in-Iranian-city-567743?utm_source=newsletter&utm_campaign=19-2-2018&utm_content=iran-blames-us-and-its-allies-for-terror-in-iranian-city-567743

Trump Was Right Again: Proof of the Deep State 

by americanlibertyreport.com 

{ americanlibertyreport.com } ~ Do you remember when scumbag/liar-nObama laughed and told us that international interference in our elections was impossible?... What month are we on now with the dirty cop-Mueller investigation? How about when he made fun of Trump for suggesting that his campaign was wiretapped? How many actual spies have been uncovered as having infiltrated Trump’s campaign?

They assured us that such a thing was impossible even after the IRS scandal and the embarrassment of an investigation into liar-Hillary’s email server. Well, as usual, Trump is right again, and we have unquestionable proof. The New York Times did us the favor of making it their biggest story of the year. By now you’ve probably heard news of the New York Times’s anti-Trump op-ed. It was written by a so-called member of the resistance, and it has some heavy implications. Now, fairness is important, so let’s take a minute to be fair. This op-ed is probably not what it claims to be. The true senior members of Trump’s staff have worked diligently to support him, and it’s unlikely any of them wrote this piece. That means that, at minimum, it’s an exaggeration. Knowing the Times, it could be an outright lie...

{ sultanknish.blogspot.com } ~ On Saturday, the Human Rights Campaign, the country's top gay rights lobby, held its 22nd annual dinner. Top speakers included loose lips-Joe Biden, who bemoaned the lack of acceptance for gay people, Anne Hathaway, who shrieked, “Let’s tear this world apart and build a better one”, and scumbag/liar-nObama's Attorney General, scumbag-Eric Holder, who declared, “The age of bullies and bigots is not fully behind us”. 

scumbag-Holder would know. He was last seen posing with Louis Farrakhan at Aretha Franklin's funeral. The leader of the Nation of Islam is both a bigot and a bully. He also loathes gay people. 

The HRC dinner was taking place at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center concurrently with the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation's Phoenix Awards. 

Holder's boss, Barack scumbag/liar-nObama, had been caught posing with Farrakhan at a Congressional Black Caucus event. And multiple CBC members have refused to condemn Farrakhan. They include Rep. Danny Davis, who had called Farrakhan an “outstanding human being”. They also include Rep. scumbag/mad-Maxine Waters. 

On Friday, the day before, Rep. scumbag/mad-Maxine Waters had received the National Leadership Award from the National Newspaper Publishers Association. 

The NNPA is an association of black papers that includes Final Call, the paper of Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam. Ford, GM, AT&T, Pfizer, AARP, Comcast, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation act as partners and sponsors of an association that includes a notorious racist and anti-Semitic hate group. 

Ford had spent a long time trying to live down its past association with another anti-Semitic paper, The Dearborn Independent, only to end up associated with yet another violently anti-Semitic publication. 

The HRC has its own extensive relationship with Ford. It has nothing to say about Ford’s NNPA role. 

At the 2018 Black Press conference sponsored by the NNPA, which had previously honored Senator lowlife-Kamala Harris, the First Place Feature Writing Award went to a Final Call article, “The Feminization of Black Men” which quoted Farrakhan’s claims that drugs were being used to turn black men gay. 

"He can make you think you’re a homosexual, he’s feminizing the Black man," the racist leader declared. "You are the guinea lambs of White experimentation." 

"We now have feminization and homosexual behaviors being normalized in the Black community," another of the article's experts warned. 

The NNPA awarded piece then went on to quote Nation of Islam minister Wesley Muhammad, whose version of the ‘Pot Plot’ warned that that the government and the Jews were using pot to make black men gay. 

“It’s the US government and the Synagogue of Satan’s scheme to use manipulated marijuana along with other drugs to de-masculinize and feminize the black male of America," Wesley warned at a mosque. “While it cannot be said that the Pot Plot that we are exposing is a strictly Jewish conspiracy, the Synagogue of Satan is the key player." 

Last month, Mary Beth Maxwell was forced to resign as the head of the education arm of the Human Rights Campaign for using the ‘N-word’ twice. But nobody at the Congressional Black Caucus or the NNPA is resigning. Not for the racism, the anti-Semitism or the homophobia. 

The NNPA’s tolerance for both shouldn’t be surprising. It’s headed by Ben Chavis, a former NAACP boss and former member of the Nation of Islam, who had tried to steer the NAACP closer to Farrakhan. 

At the HRC dinner, Anne Hathaway denounced white and straight privilege, attacking the “myth” that “gayness orbits around straightness, transgender orbits around cisgender, and that all races orbit around whiteness.” The tidy intersectional formula though doesn’t remotely reflect reality. 

Identity politics is a coalition of separate identity resentments united only by loathing the construct of an oppressive majority, of whiteness, straightness and whatever othering formula the left is offering this week. Once you get past those common bonds of bigotry, of hating the same people, unity falls apart. 

The attendees at the National Newspaper Publishers Association and the Congressional Black Caucus dinner move in the same dummycrats-Democrat orbits, but have very different views of each other. scumbag-Eric Holder goes from rubbing shoulders with Louis Farrakhan to pontificating for wealthy gay donors at the HRC dinner. 

Wells Fargo and Pfizer sponsor both the NNPA and the HRC, funding both celebrations of gayness and of the promotion of conspiracy theories about drug companies, governments and Jews conspiring to make black men gay. It’s not just individuals, but politicians and major corporations on the ‘down-low’, appealing separately to wealthy gay men and the black political allies of an anti-gay hate group. 

Nobody speaks about the essential contradictions of a movement that includes both militant denunciations of homophobia at the HRC dinner and the NNPA’s support for Farrakhan’s militant denunciations of homosexuality. The friction between gay nationalism and black nationalism is just another of the many schizophrenic frictions of the dummycrats-Democrats in the dark age of identity politics. 

Identity politics nationalism is based on a thousand clashing convictions of the superiority of the group and the inferiority of outsiders. Every identity politics group has its own Farrakhan, the ‘extremist’ who is popular within that group because he preaches its total superiority and the inferiority of the ‘Other’. 

No matter how much the left wants to unify pride and identity politics nationalism around hating an artificial idea of straight white men, a multicultural society is one with a multitude of hatreds. The more diverse America becomes, the more diverse the varied hatreds of the rainbow coalition will get. 

The left killed liberalism, tolerance and coexistence. What’s waiting in the wings is Farrakhan 

Apologists on the left insist that black people love Farrakhan, not because of his bigotry, but because of his message of empowerment. But Farrakhan’s message of ‘empowerment’ is based entirely on his bigotry. The Nation of Islam’s message of black empowerment derives from its theological conviction that black people are a master race while white people and especially Jews are genetically evil. 

Farrakhan’s message of “empowerment” is the same as Hitler’s. It lays out a vision of a naturally superior people being oppressed by their racial inferiors through trickery and cunning. The NNPA awarded an article whose rhetoric echoes Nazi Germany’s Goebbels almost word for word. 

The black empowerment of the Nation of Islam that the left praised is based on racism, dehumanization and power. When scumbag/liar-nObama, scumbag-Holder, leaders of the Women’s March, and members of the Congressional Black Caucus embrace Farrakhan, they’re showing their own hate. And the farce of identity politics. 

When scumbag-Eric Holder flirts with black nationalists and gay rights activists, whom does he go home with at night? dummycrats-Democrats running for the White House inevitably head to New York City to meet with Al Sharpton who once ranted about, “Greek homos”, and then condemn homophobia. scumbag/mad-Maxine Waters plays aunt to the #resistance of white lefties, but hugs Louis Farrakhan and collects an award from a press association that includes Farrakhan’s Final Call, with its claims of a plot to make black men gay. 

The dummycrats-Democrats are all on the ‘down-low’, flirting with bigots and then condemning bigotry. 

Corporations throw money at both the NNPA and the HRC, and any other diverse dinner they can find. The media could expose the contradictions, but it chooses to ignore principles for political expediency. 

The obsessive accusations of bigotry aimed at Republicans are a typical example of projection. The left needs to believe that Republicans are bigots so that its members can pretend that they aren’t. As the devil’s bargain with identity politics takes hold, the accusations of bigotry grow shriller, not because Republicans have become more bigoted, but because the dummycrats-Dems are dealing with more internal bigotry. 

The schizoid nature of identity politics is turning the dummycrats-Democrats into bigots who scream about bigotry. 

And the more they scream, the more bigoted they are. 

Meanwhile the NNPA, an organization that includes a racist paper put out by a racist hate group, is sponsored by Ford, GM, Bill Gates, AT&T, MillerCoors, the AARP, Coca Cola, Macy's, Toyota, VW, Pfizer, Wells Fargo and many other major corporations and organizations. Racism is big business once again. 

Major corporations have gotten behind racism and anti-Semitism because the dummycratsDemocrats have.

Trey Gowdy Discusses Kavanaugh,

Rosenstein, Sessions and Declassification

by sundance

{ theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ A retiring roosterhead appears on CBS to discuss... (1) the pending Ford -vs- Kavanaugh hearings rooster (clutches pearls on fainting couch); (2) the Rosenstein wire-taps (rooster-rod); (3) AG Jeff Sessions (rooster haz sad); and (4) declassification of FISA documents (nothing to see here rooster). The document Gowdy references he has not seen is the scumbag/commie-John Brennan originating “IC document”, provided by the CIA to the FBI, which initiated the 2016 FBI counterintelligence operation against the Trump campaign. HPSCI Chairman Devin Nunes, a Gang of Eight member, has seen this document and has called for it to be declassified and unredacted.  The IC previously went bananas over that request. Many have pondered if Gowdy was positioning for AG in replacement of Sessions. I disagree. IMHO Roosterhead was/is positioning for FBI Director; but that won’t be happening either.

Kavanaugh denies 2nd accuser's sexual misconduct allegation

as Avenatti claims 'evidence' of 'targeting' women for gang rape 

by Samuel Chamberlain

{ foxnews.com } ~ Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh faced a storm of new sexual misconduct allegations Sunday after attorney Michael Avenatti said... he had knowledge that Kavanaugh and high school friend Mark Judge targeted women with drugs and alcohol in order to "allow a 'train' of men to subsequently gang rape them." Avenatti, who represents adult film star Stormy Daniels in a lawsuit against President Trump and has hinted at a possible presidential run, made the claims in an email to Mike Davis, the chief counsel for nominations on the Senate Judiciary Committee. He did not state the source of his "evidence" and did not name any alleged victims. In Avenatti's email, a screenshot of which he posted to Twitter, the lawyer told Davis that he had "significant evidence of multiple house parties in the Washington D.C. area during the early 1980s" where Kavanaugh, Judge and others "would participate in the targeting of women with alcohol/drugs." Avenatti included a list of questions for Senate investigators to ask Kavanaugh, including: "Did you ever attend any house party during which a woman was gang raped or used for sex by multiple men?" Neither Kavanaugh nor Judge immediately responded to Avenatti's accusations. Meanwhile, the New Yorker magazine reported late Sunday that a Yale classmate of Kavanaugh claimed he exposed himself to her at a college party. Kavanaugh strongly denied that claim as a "smear."... http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/09/23/college-classmate-says-k...

by Kurt Schlichter 

{ townhall.com } ~ As I write this, the “I really, really wanna testify, but…” goalpost has moved west right past my house and out over the Pacific Ocean. You get the distinct impression that Christine Ford’s handlers are making it up as they go along – “She can’t testify on Monday because, I dunno, she’s afraid of airplanes. Yeah, that’s a thing now.” 

The GOP is, as usual, afraid to be seen as insufficiently submissive. We have Chuck Grassley announcing, by tweets that sound like they were composed by a twelve-year-old texting her girlfriends after breaking into mom’s cooking sherry, that he’s ready to roll over yet again. The only way this could get worse is if the crusty Iowan discovered emojis:

“Sorry Brett gotta postpone ur vote until 2021 cuz reasons Sad Face Blue Wave Poop.”

No. Hold the vote, confirm Kavanaugh, and then let him set about making the libs sorry they ever pulled this stunt.

I am not alone in my disgust and desire to fight this appalling atrocity. There is a weird disconnect between the elite and normal Americans on the Kavanaugh smear issue and so many others, as I chronicle in my book Militant Normals: How Regular Americans Are Rebelling Against the Elite to Reclaim Our dummycrats-Democracy, which drops next week Pre-order it right this second so all 288-pages of the kind of liberal and Fredocon abuse you enjoy here at Townhall, but with more swears, will be delivered to you fresh from the furnace on October 2. Within the elite bubble, the Republican gimps are carefully trying to pretend that they should respect this bizarre and uncorroborated tale of convenience by a liberal activist while out in America, Normal people are all, “Nah, I don’t buy it. Confirm him.”

Leave it to our unelite elite to be willingly grifted by this nonsense, and watch them bend over backwards to avoid saying what any Normalperson would say – “No.”

“AFTER THREE MONTHS OF PREPARING, I CAN’T POSSIBLY TESTIFY MONDAY.”

“How about we move it from Monday to Wednesday?”

“STOP BULLYING ME!”

"We’re sorry! We want to hear your story.”

“THEN WHERE’S MY PONY?”

“We have a pony for you. He’s a nice pony. His name is Tim.”

“BUT WHERE’S HIS HORN? I ASKED FOR A UNICORN! NOT GIVING ME A UNICORN IS MISOGYNY AT ITS WORST!”

“Okay, instead of Tim, this is Chet the unicorn…”

“STOP SILENCING ME BY TRYING TO HAVE ME TESTIFY!”

This woman’s performance rider has more provisions than Van Halen’s. If she ever does show up – maybe she’s in her Prius scooting across the country as we speak, along with her unicorn – she’ll probably walk out when she discovers the witness table candy bowl contains brown M&Ms. 

It doesn’t help that the rules about what does and doesn’t disqualify someone from something seem to be – let me be charitable – in flux.

We keep hearing about how we’re supposed to believe women making accusations without bothering to confirm them, as if the Duke lacrosse team and the UVA frat frauds didn’t happen, and as if every few weeks we don’t see another story of some poor sucker walking out of jail after doing a decade in the stoney lonesome because some chick got buzzed, got busy, then decided to call the cops rather than let her BF find out she was tramping around. But Normals get it. They understand life isn’t the black-and-white, Manichean SJW paradigm where all girls are angels and all boys are monsters. And they wonder why the “Well, some woman said you were bad so you’re ruined” principle – there’s that weasel word again, principle – only seems to apply to Normalsand those Normals like.

Let’s review liberalism’s greatest hits, literally. scumbag-Keith Ellison, right now. liar-Bill Clinton’s chivalrous “Better put some ice on that.” Ted Kennedy’s confirmed kill. Bob Menendez, trolling for jailbait in the Caribbean. Tom Carper allegedly slapping around his wife. Sherrod Brown’s wife said in a filing I assume it was sworn that he manhandled her in 1986 – as an adult, and several years more recently than whenever the Kavanaugh thing supposedly happened. Oh, but wait, now the ex-Mrs. Brown is walking it back. So, either Ohio’s Champion of the Chicks beat on her, or she lied about it, which we’re told never ever happens, you misogynist monster for even thinking that. Both possibilities kind of detonate the narrative.

Except they don’t, because the narrative is a lie. 

Even if true, should this disqualify Kavanaugh 36 years later, after an indisputably pristine and exemplary life (the total lack of anyone else making this kind of allegation is powerful evidence her accusation is false; Normals know that pervs always re-perv)? 

Libs manifestly would not care if it was one of their own, and their double standard is unacceptable. Choose one rule and stick to it. The fact is that such acts only act to bar those who Normals support. Let’s look at yet anotherdummycrats-Democrat with car trouble, Tex Kennedy. Beto got hammered at 26, drove into traffic, and tried to run from the cops. But that’s okay, apparently. We’re supposed to forgive and forget the undisputed act of an adult who nearly killed people then split. That doesn’t disqualify him from office? Why is that?  

What’s the rule? You can slap around your spouse as an adult, and you get a pass? Credible rape claims as an adult, and hail to the chief? Leave a woman to drown, as an adult, a senator, and you’re the Lion of the Senate? Booze it up and hit the gas – as an adult – but who cares?

That seems incongruous. Gosh, what’s the common thread between all these malefactors? Adults, dummycrats-Democrats, up to kill babies. Gee, I’m seeing a pattern. But minor, Republican, not wanting to kill babies – unforgiveable!

“Oh, you can’t do whataboutism!” hiss the Cheese-eating surrendercons. Baloney. Whataboutism is a moral necessity, because it disarms the hypocrisy the left wields like a battle axe by illustrating the undeniable truth.dummycrats-Democrats don’t care if Kavanaugh grabbed that girl, and they don’t really think it should disqualify him if he had. They just don’t want him on the Supreme Court because that will make them lose power. And power is all they care about.

So, if Brett Kavanaugh and his family must be ruined, well, they deserve it for getting in the left’s way. That will teach people to resist them. And your sons, whose lives can be wrecked by a single lie under the new Gillibrand-Hirono Standard, are next.

No. Stop this charade. Vote. Confirm Kavanaugh. And then let us Normals get on with the business of rebelling against the liberal elite.

IS HE?   if so then he sure has the logs for the fire.    Many things have happened since he announced his candidacy for the pres of the united states.   First was kate steinle.    HE has been right all along.  The blatant and disgusting show by the Dems and never trumpers is a horror.  The blatant treason and subversion of our govt by Obama; Hillary and their buddies is an act that needs to land them in prison.  Will he declare marshall law?  that remains to b seen.   I think that for a very short time to clean up this mess he may no one knows but something has to be done.  Will he just fire them all.  Could be.  This article lays out a good case and he sure has one no argument here.  I guess w/the mid terms coming and the Brett KAvanaugh nominatiion circus playing we shall see. The Dems are a disaster and we know we cannot vote for them the GOP on the o/hand well some are still decent.  Some.  

WE have a job to do to save this nation period and that is what has to be done.  Our schools and the border wall are 2 things that have to be priority.  Schools for our kids have to be what we learned about this countrys history and the us constitution and the wall we have to stop the invasion of America.

All have some blame.  The rest is our job.  We cannot loose.

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein

is reportedly on the way out 

by Dan Mangan | Jacob Pramuk | Kevin Breuninger

{ cnbc.com } ~ Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is resigning Monday, according to Axios... which cited a source familiar with the matter. NBC News' Pete Williams, however, reported that Rosenstein would not resign of his own accord, and that he will only depart if the White House fired him. He will refuse to resign if asked to do so, Williams added. Bloomberg later reported that the White House accepted Rosenstein's resignation, citing a person familiar with the matter. Rosenstein's expected resignation will immediately raise questions about the fate of the ongoing investigation by special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller, who is probing Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, and possible obstruction of justice by President Donald Trump. Rosenstein's job security was called into question after The New York Times reported last week that the No. 2 DOJ official had discussed invoking the 25th amendment to remove Trump, and had also talked about surreptitiously recording the president...

Trump Seeks to Restrict Green Cards

from Those on Food, Housing Assistance

by CHRIS MILLS RODRIGO

{ thehill.com } ~ People who legally use food stamps or housing vouchers could be denied green cards under new proposed rules... announced Saturday by the Trump administration. The proposal, called “Inadmissibility on Public Charge Grounds,” represents the latest effort by the administration to crack down not only on illegal immigration, but legal immigration as part of a strategy to tighten the border. The administration says the rule would affect about 382,000 people per year. Proposed by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the new rule would allow immigration officials to refuse admission and deny extensions to those who might become “public charges.” People who apply for green cards have always had to prove they would not be a burden, and a 1999 rule sought to prevent people from getting green cards if they were considered likely to need financial assistance from the government. But this would be the first time that the use of food stamps and Section 8 housing assistance would be considered negative factors in deciding whether someone should be given a green card...

Tentative agreement reached for Kavanaugh-Ford

hearing on Thursday, source says 

by Adam Shaw and Elizabeth Zwirz

{ foxnews.com } ~ A tentative agreement for a Thursday hearing with Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford has been reached... a source with knowledge of the discussions has told Fox News. Earlier on Saturday, Ford had indicated she'd accept the Senate Judiciary Committee’s request to discuss an alleged sexual assault by Kavanaugh, although the terms under which she might testify remained largely unclear. In a letter to the committee, Ford’s lawyers said that she had accepted the request to provide “her first-hand knowledge of Brett Kavanaugh’s sexual misconduct next week” after Republicans on the committee set a 2:30 p.m. deadline for her to say whether she would do so. Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, had said a vote would proceed in the absence of a response from Ford's team by the cutoff time. In the letter from Ford's lawyers, they said “many aspects of the proposal you provided ... are fundamentally inconsistent with the Committee’s promise of a fair, impartial investigation into her allegations,” yet they also expressed hope that an agreement would be reached, as now appears to be the case. Ahead of news about a tentative Thursday meeting, a senior White House official had told Fox News that the Ford team's letter represented a request to continue negotiations without any firm commitment... No this is a complete lie to slow down the confirmation of Kavanauah. She has no prove of the assault.

Three Witnesses Described by Kavanaugh

Accuser Do Not Support Her Claims

by sundance

{ theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ Dr. Christine Blasey-Ford has stated three witnesses were present at the mysterious high school party... where she claims supreme court nominee Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her approximately 36 years ago. The claimed witnesses were: (1) Mrs. Leland Ingham Keyser, (2) Mr. Mark Judge, and (3) Mr. Patrick “PJ” Smyth. According to CNN’s current reporting here’s the statements from the witnesses: (1)Simply put, “Ms. Keyser does not know Mr. Kavanaugh and she has no recollection of ever being at a party or gathering where he was present, with, or without, Dr. Ford.” “I have no memory of this alleged incident,” said (2) Mark Judge in a September 18 letter sent to the Senate Judiciary Committee. He said he did not recall the party and never saw Brett Kavanaugh act in the matter Ford describes. (3) Patrick J. Smyth issued a statement: “I understand that I have been identified by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford as the person she remembers as ‘PJ’ who supposedly was present at the party she described in her statements to the Washington Post. I am issuing this statement today to make it clear to all involved that I have no knowledge of the party in question; nor do I have any knowledge of the allegations of improper conduct she has leveled against Brett Kavanaugh. Personally speaking, I have known Brett Kavanaugh since high school and I know him to be a person of great integrity, a great friend, and I have never witnessed any improper conduct by Brett Kavanaugh towards women. To safeguard my own privacy and anonymity, I respectfully request that the Committee accept this statement in response to any inquiry the Committee may have.”... Who do you believe now, America.  https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/09/22/three-witnesses-described-by-kavanaugh-accuser-do-not-support-her-claims/

Saudi Arabia Scooping Up Land in Northern Virginia 

by Adam Kredo

{ freebeacon.com } ~ Saudi Arabia is scooping up large swaths of land in Northern Virginia, just a stone's throw away from the nation's capital, according to local reports... "The Saudi government now owns five adjacent properties on the grandiose corridor in McLean that is home to high-profile, pricey estates and bucolic views of the Potomac River, according to government assessment records," Washington Business Journal reported. The Saudi government is said to have purchased a series of adjacent homes "occupying about a half-mile stretch" near Chain Bridge Road in Northern Virginia, according to the report. The kingdom paid $43 million on May 24 to purchase Steve Case‘s Merrywood Estate at 700 Chain Bridge Road, making it the biggest residential property sale in the region's history. The county valued the property, which was also the childhood home of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, at just shy of $24 million. Then on July 10, the embassy paid $17.8 million to purchase 670 Chain Bridge Road and $2.1 million to purchase 660 Chain Bridge Road in what appears to be a package deal, according to property records and an online listing.  https://freebeacon.com/national-security/saudi-arabia-scooping-land-northern-virginia/?utm_source=Freedom+Mail&utm_campaign=c630f6321f-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_09_21_05_32_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b5e6e0e9ea-c630f6321f-45611665

Gowdy: Russia Documents are Embarrassing

for scumbag/commie-Brennan, DOJ and FBI

by Chuck Ross

{ dailycaller.com } ~ South Carolina Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy said the information in a batch of Russia investigation documents that President Donald Trump was considering for declassification... will prove “embarrassing” for the Department of Justice, FBI and former CIA Director scumbag/commie-John Brennan. Gowdy made the remarks in an interview with Fox News on Thursday. The next day, President Donald Trump retracted his order to the Justice Department to declassify and release the documents. But the Republican left open the possibility that the records could be released down the road. But Gowdy, the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, provided a preview of what to expect from the documents if they are eventually released. “I’ve read it. Some of it’s embarrassing for the Department of Justice — some of it’s embarrassing for the FBI. Embarrassment is not a reason to classify something,” said Gowdy. “A lot of it should be embarrassing to scumbag/commie-John Brennan, and maybe therein lies why he is so adamant that this information not be released.”...

scumbag-Ellison Accuser Says She

Karen Monahan, scumbag-Ellison’s ex-girlfriend, was asked on Twitter how dummycrats-Democrats have treated her versus Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s accuser, Christine Blasey Ford. She said she has faced threats and isolation from members of her own party, despite her evidence against scumbag-Ellison. "I've been smeared, threatened, isolated from my own party. I provided medical records from 2017, stating on two different Dr. Visits, I told them about the abuse and who did it," she wrote on Twitter. "My therapist released records stating I have been dealing and healing from the abuse." "Four people, including my supervisor at the time, stated that I came to them after and shared the exact story I shared publicly, I shared multiple text between me and scumbag-Keith, where I discuss the abuse with him and much more," she added.

{ townhall.com } ~ While sitting in Yom Kippur services, I was focused on the essence of the holiday -- Jews atoning for their sins. The 10 Days of Awe conclude with Yom Kippur – a joyful beginning to the remainder of the year. Despite that, I, like many Americans, was seething about the charges lodged by Christine Blasey Ford against Brett Kavanaugh that became public a week prior to the Senate committee vote on his Supreme Court nomination.

I am a dedicated supporter of women. When I started my political involvement, I was mentored by a woman. Patty Cafferata, from Reno, Nevada, was the person with whom I cut my teeth in my post-college political career. Ms. Cafferata was a member of the State Assembly, Treasurer of the State of Nevada and a candidate for Governor. She is now a special assistant to Attorney General Adam Laxalt, who is running for Governor. In addition to Patty, more than 50 percent of my non-presidential donations have gone to women.

I am also a believer in women’s rights and find sexual assault not only demeaning to women, but likewise demeaning to the good men the preponderance of American men who would never do such a despicable act. I am proud to say I raised my son, now a grown man, to think and act the way I do toward women – only with respect. 

I was so concerned about writing this column, I consulted a psychiatrist friend. My concern stems from the fact that in 10 years of writing weekly columns on Townhall.com plus an additional 25 years before that, I have never ever written a column expressing that “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore.” Because of the highly questionable charges by Dr. Ford and the political maneuvers by Ford’s attorneys and handlers, it is obvious that for political reasons they are willing to destroy a good man’s name. To quote Secretary Raymond Donovan after winning his court fight on false charges: “Where do I go to get back my reputation.”

I will not go into the details about Ford’s charges because unless you have been in seclusion you know what she has charged against Kavanaugh. After she won support for a hearing on her charges, she laid out the fact she wanted an FBI investigation prior to appearing. Let’s not focus on the fact that Ford’s attorneys should know that does not happen in real life where the witness gets to lay out demands. Let’s also not focus on the supposed assault not being the purview of the FBI, but of whatever jurisdiction in Maryland where this allegedly happened. Let’s just focus on what I conclude will be the interview. I am qualified to surmise this as someone who has watched 5,000 cop show episodes, read hundreds of crime novels and have a level of common sense.

Interviewer – “Dr. Ford, when did this crime occur?”

Dr. Ford – “I am not sure exactly when it occurred, but I was a teenager and so was Kavanaugh.”

Interviewer – “How did you know Mr. Kavanaugh’s age?”

Ford – “I figured it out by knowing his current age and working backward to about the time the incident occurred.”

Interviewer – “Where did the alleged assault occur?”

Ford – “Well, I know it happened in Maryland, but I am not sure exactly what city or county.”

Interviewer – “Did you have a rape kit done or have any medical exam concurrent with the alleged incident?”

Ford – “No.”

Interviewer – “How did you get to this party?”

Ford – “I don’t know for sure.”

Interviewer – “Do you know how you got home?”

Ford - “I don’t know for sure.”

Interviewer – “Do you remember who was at this party other than the named individuals?”

Ford – “No, sorry.”

Interviewer – “Did you report this to any of your family or friends after the alleged assault?”

Ford – “No.”

Interviewer -- “So if I may summarize, you were the alleged target of attempted rape by one Brett Kavanaugh sometime in the 1980s, somewhere in Maryland, which you have no physical evidence for or medical reports and you did not report the events to the police, a medical practitioner, your friends or your family. What exactly do you remember of this event?”

Ford – “Kavanaugh jumped on me and tried to rape me. I was scared for my life.”

Interviewer – “I am sorry ma’am, but I cannot take this to my senior officer or the DA because they would find this chargeable. I am sure you believe this incident happened, but I hope you can see the facts are sketchy and you have no corroboration.”

If Ford does come forth and testify, she may present more than currently in the public domain.

No one would proceed on these facts, but members of the U.S. Senate have deemed Brett Kavanaugh presumptively guilty. We expect this behavior from lowlife-Kammy Harris and Spartacus scumbag-Booker based on their over-the-top behavior in the committee hearings. But then there are other people who fashion themselves as the next president, like Senator Kirsten Gillibrand from New York who has convicted Kavanaugh on these skimpy facts because Ford said them and thus they are true. The latest knucklehead is Hawaii Senator Mazie Hirono. "We all signed on this letter to demand an FBI investigation," said Hirono. "But really, guess who is perpetuating all of these kinds of actions? It's the men in this country and I just want to say to the men of this country, just shut up and step up. Do the right thing." Really?

And where were you when all the real perps were belittling women and sexually harassing them? You know, the legions of people in the entertainment business and news business where over 90 percent of them were heroes to the Left, not to mention money sources. Sure, you said nasty things when they were exposed, but you knew the rumors about all these people like Charlie Rose and Harvey Weinstein and partied with them anyway and took their money. You know, while those perps attended their “I support women” events.

This is all a political stunt. Senator scumbag/clown-Schumer, another one who harbored all those perps, talks tough now only because he wants Kavanaugh off the court and is willing to do whatever it takes even if it means destroying his life with these flimsy charges.

Let’s take a moment to focus on the irresponsible press. The editorial board of the NYT -- which is the epicenter of all Left-wing thought -- stated that the Republicans are irresponsible for not calling for an FBI investigation and refusing to call other witnesses. It is not just that they should know better; they do know better and they don’t care because they have an agenda. They know an FBI investigation is a ridiculous thought and, if anything, the wrong police force to do such. What witnesses do they want called? By Dr. Ford’s own admission there are none. I guess they would like 20 psychologists to be called to talk about what they have seen in prior cases that have no relevance to this matter.

And who suffers here? The American people when their government is tarnished. Women suffer, when the real sexual predators are scoffed at because another charge is brought against someone and shot down even though this time it might be real because people have reflexively rejected these charges because they mirror the charges brought by Ford. Think Duke University or University of Virginia.

We know this is a set-up. How did Dr. Ford end up with the credentialed law firm of Katz, Marshall and Banks from Washington, D.C., representing her when she is merely a psych professor at Palo Alto University in California? Who is paying these people? Why are they insisting their client interview last when they know our legal system provides for the accused an opportunity to answer the accuser?

scumbag/clown-Schumer and his gang are counting on tainting Kavanaugh for years even if they cannot keep him off the court. And the immediate game is to lie to the women of America that the Republicans are the ones not defending their interests so that on Election Day 2018 they will turn out in droves and vote dummycrats-Dem.

This is all so tawdry. So low. So despicable. The only way to protect the women of America and the #MeToo movement is to defeat this charade. Protect this man from these scurrilous charges and put him on the Supreme Court and then on Election Day turn these folks out of office or prevent them from taking real power.

It is not acceptable to destroy peoples’ lives to obtain power. This man has a real wife and real daughters and real female colleagues and former clerks who love and respect him.

This has been done before, but not now, not this time.

by Kelly Cohen

Rosenstein has been on the hot seat following a report that he discussed invoking the 25th Amendment and wearing a device to record meetings with President Trump. Rosenstein, a Republican appointed by Trump, oversees special counsel dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s investigation.

It’s An Attempt At Regime Change By The Radical Leftists

by Jeff Dunetz and Jim Bowman

{ lidblog.com } ~ President Trump was elected as President nearly two years ago, and still, the resistance clamors on. Granted the shock was registered, but it’s long past the time of acceptance... What the radical leftists doing today, from the Kavanaugh slander to the dirty cop-Mueller investigation is nothing more than an attempt for a regime change. Their desired liar-Clinton Presidency was so close the taste was in their mouths,  but now, all that would have had has been dashed upon the rocks of rugged Americanism. To make matters worse, the socialist dummycrats-democrat is left exposed because the economic prosperity occurring today is antithetical to socialism. They are facing a midterm election without a positive message, with a roster of activists who uniformly are anti-what made America great, and in all probability, another Constitutionalist being appointed to the Supreme Court. Wall Street Journal (WSJ) writer Daniel Henninger describes in his September 20th What dummycrats-Democrats Have Become piece, the dummycrats-Democrat’s desperation and of their option to counteract Kavanaugh’s nomination with, “…is being decided in the Senate by the medieval practice of trial by ordeal…” Mr. Henninger is referring to this coming Monday’s possible special hearing in which Dr. Ford the accuser, and the Judge she accuses would testify before the Senator’s vote. A Senate hearing next week appears doomed since Ms. Ford’s attorney made demands seemingly to get a negative response. The strangest of which goes against the basics of American legal tradition, she insists that Judge Kavanaugh testify first. How can he respond to her accusations if he testifies before her?  Of course, this attorney is a radical leftist activist with connections to scumbag-George Soros...  https://lidblog.com/regime-change-by-radical-leftists/

House wants to vote on spending and taxes, then go home

by Susan Ferrechio

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ House lawmakers are hoping to wrap up legislative business next week  by passing three tax reform bills and a massive spending bill... that would prevent a government shutdown. The fiscal year ends Sept. 30, and lawmakers are poised to cleanly avoid the usual partisan showdown over federal spending that has ensnared the House and Senate for years. They are expected to approve a massive measure funding the Defense Department for fiscal year 2019 at $607 billion. The measure would provide the Health and Human Services, Labor, and Education Departments with a total of $178 billion for the year. The measure includes a continuing resolution for the remaining unfinished spending  legislation, which encompasses seven spending bills and amounts to about 25 percent of federal spending. The “CR” funds those seven budgets until Dec. 7, which would give Congress several weeks in the post-election lame duck session to come with year-long bills. The Senate passed the measure, including the CR provision, last week. Among the bills the the CR temporarily funds at 2018 levels is the Department of Homeland Security, which means no funding increase... Where's the funds for the wall?

Kavanaugh’s family receiving death threats

by Jerry McCormick

{ patriotnewsalerts.com } ~ Extremist lunacy is starting to rear its ugly head against Judge Brett Kavanaugh and his family... Many believe that the 2016 presidential campaign season showed America at its worst. While many Americans debated the election reasonably, there were some extremists on both sides of the aisle that took things too far. However, there are always a few that law enforcement really worry about. For Judge Kavanaugh, there are now several of those types of threats being investigated. And the threats are not just being made against the judge; his wife, Ashley, has reportedly received a slew of death threats...  https://www.patriotnewsalerts.com/kavanaughs-family-death-threats/?utm_source=boomtrain&utm_medium=automated&utm_campaign=cna1&utm_source=boomtrain&utm_medium=automated&utm_campaign=cna1

Senate delays leave safety agencies

leaderless amid hurricanes, train wrecks

by Joe Williams

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ Republican and dummycrats-Democratic senators are blaming each other for delays in confirming White House appointees to key safety agencies... some of which have been without leaders while responding to deadly accidents and natural disasters. The top U.S. rail safety chief was confirmed in February after a series of lethal railroad accidents in January, for instance, and two members of the National Transportation Safety Board weren't approved until after a duck boat crash in July left 17 people dead. Now, in the aftermath of Hurricane Florence, a top Republican is sounding an alarm over a vacancy at the top of the Commerce Department’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA, the office in charge of severe weather warnings and climate-monitoring, among other things. President Trump's selection of Barry Lee Myers, the former chief executive officer of AccuWeather, to fill the post was approved on a party-line vote by the Senate Commerce Committee in January, but he has yet to be confirmed by the full Senate. Trump made the nomination in 2017. “Despite its responsibility for these critical functions, NOAA has been without a Senate-confirmed administrator for nearly two years due to obstruction by Senate dummycrats-Democrats,” Senate Commerce Committee Chairman John Thune of South Dakota said on the chamber floor last week...

Alarming Details Emerge of Michael Cohen

‘Singing’ to Special Counsel 

by A.A. West

{ flagandcross.com } ~ For those of us already dealing with ulcers and anxiety over the investigation being undertaken by dirty cop-Robert Mueller... the following news will only cause us to reach for our Tums and Valium. Michael Cohen, former lawyer to the President, is apparently cooperating with dirty cop-Robert Mueller’s “witch hunt” investigation of the bizarre #RussiaGate conspiracy.  In fact, “cooperating” may be understating the issue. In all actuality, it sounds more like Michael Cohen is practically singing to him. President Donald Trump’s former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, has participated over the last month in multiple interview sessions lasting for hours with investigators from the office of special counsel, dirty cop-Robert Mueller, sources tell ABC News. The special counsel’s questioning of Cohen, one of the president’s closest associates over the past decade, has focused primarily on all aspects of Trump’s dealings with Russia — including financial and business dealings and the investigation into alleged collusion with Russia by the Trump campaign and its surrogates to influence the outcome of the 2016 presidential election, sources familiar with the matter tell ABC News. Investigators were also interested in knowing, the sources say, whether Trump or any of his associates discussed the possibility of a pardon with Cohen...

by Charlie Kirk

{ townhall.com } ~ When dummycrats-Democrats start losing an argument they typically resort to smearing and slandering their opponents. Such is the case with their eleventh-hour attempt to derail Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination for the Supreme Court.

There they were, quaking in their boots as Kavanaugh’s confirmation vote was just days away, and all of their previous efforts at sinking his nomination came fell short.

Their attempt to paint the judge as an anti-abortion extremist? It failed.

Their attempt to slander the judge as a Republican partisan? It failed too.

Senator scumbag-Cory Booker’s “I am Spartacus” moment? That failed miserably.

The writing was on the wall. Brett Kavanaugh was a dedicated family man, accomplished jurist, and widely-respected member of the legal profession. His confirmation was all but a done deal.

Enter Dianne Fein-stein, who in the knick of time magically produces a letter out of thin air, detailing a decades-old ancient — and unprovable — allegation of sexual misconduct against Kavanaugh.

The accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, has identified two witnesses, both of whom have stated emphatically that the incident didn’t happen, along with Kavanaugh himself.

And now she is conveniently and suspiciously refusing to answer the Senate’s call to testify in either a public or private session. Ford is instead demanding an investigation by the FBI — which already passed on this matter, stating that no federal law would have been violated even if substantiated — before she is willing to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

But the Senate is not a courtroom, and dummycrats-Democrat senators care little for the law or the truth. Their sole purpose is to prevent Kavanaugh’s confirmation or, failing that, to ensure that a cloud of uncertainty and illegitimacy hovers above his head for the rest of his career. 

This is character assassination in its purest form, an undeniable hit job. And it’s hardly the first time the dummycrats-Democrats have opened this page of their playbook. Indeed we’ve seen this movie before.

In 1987, President Ronald Reagan nominated Judge Robert Bork to the Supreme Court. Arguably one of the greatest American legal minds of the 20th century, Bork was a staunch originalist and ever faithful to the Constitution.

This, of course, made Bork a direct threat to the dummycrats-Democrats’ radical liberal agenda, and they promptly proceeded to launch a hysterical smear campaign against the judge.

Following the nomination, Senator Ted Kennedy took to the Senate floor to blast Bork faster than he fled Chappaquiddick. “Robert Bork's America is a land in which women would be forced into back-alley abortions, blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters, rogue police could break down citizens' doors in midnight raids, schoolchildren could not be taught about evolution, writers and artists could be censored at the whim of the Government, and the doors of the Federal courts would be shut on the fingers of millions of citizens,” Kennedy railed. 

Unfortunately for Judge Bork — and the Republic itself — the dummycrats-Democrats smear campaign against him was successful. This turn of events was in fact doubly unfortunate, as it taught the dummycrats-Democrats that they could successfully destroy the career of an ideological opponent through slander. 

They’ve been doing it ever since.  

In the decades since Bork was “borked,” dummycrats-Democrats and liberals have turned character assassination into a fine art. When their arguments fail and the truth is on their opponent’s side, they call into question his character and try to destroy his reputation.

When it was Clarence Thomas’s turn to be confirmed to the Supreme Court, the dummycrats-Democrats had enough foresight to know that “he’s a racist” wouldn’t work on a black man, so instead they drudged up unsubstantiated and unprovable sexual harassment allegations. Sound familiar? 

They don’t just target judicial appointments, either. dummycrats-Democrats and their media friends smeared rino-John McCain, Mitt Romney, and Donald Trump as sexist and racist when each GOP nominee ran for President; and they’re still doing it to President Trump.

As for President Trump’s supporters? They’re nothing but “deplorables and irredeemables” and “the dregs of society.” Anti-illegal immigration activists? They’re just a bunch of racists. Folks who value traditional family values? Nothing more than sexists and homophobes. 

Time and time again, dummycrats-Democrats have resorted to smearing those with whom they disagree with baseless and crude allegations.  

They think Americans are fools who will believe their blatant deceptions. But like Clarence Thomas, Kavanaugh will still be confirmed to the Supreme Court. And as the election of President Trump proved, the dummycrats-Democrats’ slanderous words are losing their effect. 

Nonetheless, if the character assassination of Brett Kavanaugh is any indication, they won’t engage in civil debate and discourse any time soon.

dummycrats-Dems float more Kavanaugh

investigations, impeachment even if he is confirmed 

by Adam Shaw

{ foxnews.com } ~ As the political fight over the sexual assault allegation made against Brett Kavanaugh intensifies... dummycrats-Democrats are indicating that -- even if confirmed -- they intend to drag the fight over his Supreme Court nomination past November, raising the possibility of an impeachment push. dummycrats-Democrats have been demanding the vote to confirm Kavanaugh be delayed pending a full FBI investigation into the accusation by Christine Blasey Ford that Kavanaugh assaulted her at a party in high school in the 1980s. Kavanaugh has repeatedly denied the allegations and has said he is willing to testify to the Senate Judiciary Committee. Republicans on the committee have invited Ford to testify next week, and have said that they will hold a vote to confirm Kavanaugh if she does not. Ford has said she will testify, but only if a list of conditions are met. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, has given Ford a Saturday deadline to say whether she will testify. The midterm elections loom over the debate over the timetable of Kavanaugh’s confirmation process. Should dummycrats-Democrats succeed in delaying the confirmation vote past November and pick up seats in the Senate in the midterms, then they will likely have enough votes to block Kavanaugh’s confirmation... These dummycrats-dems need to be impeached and removed from congress.

Kavanaugh’s accuser has yet to file

sexual assault allegations with law enforcement

by BEN MARQUIS

{ dailychristiannews.com } ~ In the wake of last-minute allegations of sexual misconduct lodged against Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh... lawyers for the accuser and Senate dummycrats-Democrats have loudly demanded there be a full investigation of the claims by the chief law enforcement agency in the nation, the FBI. But the alleged crimes described by Kavanaugh’s accuser don’t fall under the FBI’s federal jurisdiction, and are instead a state-level crime. And according to The Daily Caller, Kavanaugh’s accuser has yet to file a police report on the alleged incident with local authorities. California professor Christine Blasey Ford has alleged that Kavanaugh groped and attempted to undress her while drunk at a small high school party in Maryland in the early 1980s. Not being a federal crime, sexual assaults must be reported to the local authorities, which, in this case, is the Montgomery County police — but that hasn’t occurred... No report filled.  https://www.dailychristiannews.com/accuser-assault-law-enforcement/?utm_source=dcn1&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=dcn1-1

Islam and Sharia: Deadly Facts You Should Know

by AMIL IMANI

{ jihadwatch.org } ~ Islam and Sharia continue to furtively creep into every aspect of American culture. And too few people are talking about it. Why?... Because Americans have been conditioned by the liberal elites to be tolerant and compassionate, to embrace multiculturalism and respect each other’s beliefs, ideals and values. That’s wonderful in a utopian world, but the fact is, Islam doesn’t embrace any aspect of Western civilization — much less American culture. We are rapidly and methodically being dismantled as a nation, and our freedom and liberty is more fragile than at any time since World War II. And while we fight the enemy abroad with combat troops, intelligence and drone strikes, we’re doing nothing to combat the same exact enemy that resides on our own soil in broad daylight. If we don’t defeat it politically and do it swiftly, our children and grandchildren could be engaged in a religious and ideological bloody war the likes of which has never been seen on American soil. Truth be told, Islam is a theocratic political terrorist regime that hides behind the mask of religion to accomplish its mission of a worldwide caliphate. What most Americans don’t understand is that it is a totalitarian “theo-political” belief system and a social doctrine the two go hand-in-hand based on the Quran, Sira and Hadith, what Dr. Bill Warner of the Center for the Study of Political Islam aptly calls the “Trilogy of Islam.” It has mandates for every single aspect of life, and those mandates are enforced and regulated by the barbaric criminal and civil code known as Sharia. The precise definition of a Muslim becomes crystal clear when you read the trilogy of Islam. Bottom line: you are to be an Allah-fearing, Quran-believing and Muhammad-following zealot who forces people to submit, convert, and comply with Islam and Sharia or be killed. Those are the facts... And they are distributing.

dummycrats-Democrats Change Lines on Ford Testimony 

by David Rutz

{ freebeacon.com } ~ Several Senate dummycrats-Democrats have changed their rhetoric on how and when Christine Blasey Ford should testify about her accusation of sexual assault against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh... Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D., N.Y.) told the  dummycrats-Democrat & Chronicle on Monday she hoped there would be "some measure of review, maybe a hearing" on Ford's accusation, but by Wednesday, she told CNN Ford should not participate in a "sham hearing." Senate Minority Leader scumbag/clown-Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) called on Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Chuck Grassley (R., Iowa) on Monday to give Ford a chance to be heard out, but the next day, while praising the invitation to her, said any hearing had to be "done right" with an FBI investigation. Sen. scumbag-Dick Durbin (D., Ill.) said a committee hearing with Kavanaugh and Ford was "the only way to go" during a CNN interview on Monday, and Sen. Chris Coons (D., Del.) said he was "encouraged" by the hearing scheduled for Ford. Both were singing a different tune later in the week, with scumbag-Durbin wondering if the hearing would be "credible" and Coons worrying if there would be enough witnesses for the hearing to be legitimate... Oh my gosh, you all believe Ford is telling the truth.  https://freebeacon.com/politics/democrats-change-lines-on-ford-testimony/?utm_source=Freedom+Mail&utm_campaign=c54af277bb-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2018_09_21_07_58_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_b5e6e0e9ea-c54af277bb-45611665

No game changers in Trump's declassified docs, but

scumbag/commie-John Brennan will be very embarrassed

by Daniel Chaitin

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., tamped down expectations Thursday for the Russia-related documents President Trump selected this week for declassification... In an interview with Fox News, Gowdy dismissed dummycrats-Democrats' concerns about the national security risks of declassification of sensitive information while also declaring that what the documents entail won't be the bombshell some Republicans are playing them up to be. "I don't think it's going to change anyone's mind, but I've seen nothing in it that is going to jeopardize the national security interest of this country," Gowdy said. Despite downplaying the documents, Gowdy conceded that he thinks there is one document related to George Papadopoulos, a Trump campaign adviser who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russians, people will find interesting, though he did not elaborate. It was his boasting to an Australian diplomat in a London bar in May 2016 that the Russian government had dirt on dummycrats-Democratic presidential candidate liar-Hillary Clinton that triggered the federal Russia investigation. The declassification order from Trump came on Monday, instructing the Justice Department, the FBI, and the director of national intelligence to declassify documents related to the FISA warrant process seeking the authority to spy on onetime Trump campaign aide Carter Page, who had suspicious ties to Russia...

by Cal Thomas

{ townhall.com } ~ The woman who alleged in a confidential letter that as a high school student in Maryland in the '80s Brett Kavanaugh "pinned her to a bed on her back and groped her over her clothes, grinding his body against hers and clumsily attempting to pull off her one-piece bathing suit and the clothing she wore over it" has now revealed her identity to surprise! the Washington Post.

Christine Blasey Ford, who the Post says is now a 51-year-old research psychologist in northern California, originally said she did not want to tell her story or reveal her identity. Then the story went public without her consent. The letter eventually found its way to the office of Sen. Dianne Fein-stein of California, the ranking Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, and Fein-stein, citing Ford's wish to remain anonymous, refused to share it with her dummycrats-Democratic colleagues. "I have, however," Fein-stein wrote in a statement, "referred the matter to federal investigative authorities."

"An FBI spokesperson confirmed that the bureau had received the referral ... and included it as part of Kavanaugh's background file," writes the Los Angeles Times, "as per the standard process."

Ford claims she didn't tell anyone about the alleged assault until 2012 when she was in couples therapy with her husband, but even then she didn't mention Kavanaugh's name. If this sounds like a replay of Anita Hill's last-minute allegations against Clarence Thomas during his confirmation hearings, it should. In football a late hit can bring a penalty. In politics it's all part of the game.

Kavanaugh denies any inappropriate behavior took place, and as of this writing, both he and Ford have agreed to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee, a la Anita Hill. Already two Republicans, rino-Jeff Flake of Arizona and Bob Corker of Tennessee, both of whom are leaving at the end of their terms, have called for a delay in Kavanaugh's confirmation vote, which plays into the hands of dummycrats-Democrats trying to block him from the court.

Some dummycrats-Democrats and liberal activists apparently determined to preserve the Supreme Court's leftward shift have chosen to get down in the mud, throwing it at a highly qualified nominee for the Supreme Court. Even Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg bemoaned how these confirmation hearings have become "a highly partisan show."

The smear is nothing new in politics, but while it once might come back to stain the one throwing the mud, it is now regarded as a legitimate tool for achieving one's political goals. The end not only justifies the means, but to the left, it mandates the means.

Republicans should fight back, labeling the smear tactics and those who employ them as demeaning and sullying their office. If one can't win a civil debate over issues and law, then an elected official should not receive the public's trust.

"Have you no shame?" was a line made famous during the Army-McCarthy hearings in the 1950s when Sen. Joseph McCarthy (R-WI) claimed to have a list of communists who had infiltrated the federal government. The left rode the "McCarthyism" horse for decades, accusing any Republican or conservative of emulating McCarthy when they opposed the liberal agenda or criticized producers of movies and TV programs they believed contributed to the moral decline of the nation.

This letter should be seen for what it is -- a last-minute, desperate attempt to prevent Kavanaugh's confirmation and part of a broader plan to reverse the results of the 2016 election. This smear campaign includes not only Ford's perfectly timed letter, but also the New York Times op-ed from an unnamed "official" in the Trump administration and many of Bob Woodward's "sources" in his new book "Fear."

These tactics should be denounced immediately, or they will be repeated. Is it any wonder why good people don't want to serve in government? Who wants to face an avalanche of mud?

Grassley grants Kavanaugh accuser another extension

by Stephen Sorace

{ foxnews.com } ~ Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley late Friday night granted another extension to Christine Blasey Ford... to decide on whether she will testify to the committee. The new deadline was unclear, but Ford had requested that a 10 p.m. ET Friday deadline be extended until Saturday. Ford has accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, citing an incident that she said occurred decades ago, when both were in high school. Grassley issued his latest extension decision in a tweet addressed to Kavanaugh, adding that he hopes the judge can “understand” his reasoning behind the delay. Just before midnight ET, Grassley tweeted: “Judge Kavanaugh I just granted another extension to Dr Ford to decide if she wants to proceed with the statement she made last week to testify to the senate  She should decide so we can move on  I want to hear her.  I hope you understand. It’s not my normal approach to be indecisive.”... This should be the last extension then the senate should vote on to start confirmation.

New Kavanaugh accuser recants, says

she isn’t sure if original claim is true or not

by Jerry McCormick

{ patriotnewsalerts.com } ~ In July, Ford sent a letter to dummycrats-Democrats explaining an incident in which she alleges that she was sexually assaulted by Kavanaugh... more than three decades ago at a high school party. Ford named one other witness in her story, Mark Judge, who has since stated that he had no knowledge of any such party or incident, as she described. Since then, another man, Patrick Smyth, has come forward, saying that Ford had named him as being present at the party. He also denied any knowledge of the alleged party or the incident described by Ford. Then, suddenly, Cristina King Miranda, a former classmate of Ford’s, came forward to back up Ford’s story. The problem, though, was that Miranda’s story did not line up with the facts. Miranda alleged that “many of us heard about it in school” for days afterward. But Ford said she never told anyone about the alleged attack at the time. Suddenly not so confident, she quickly deleted the post. In a followup with NPR, Miranda stated: “That it happened or not, I have no idea. I can’t say that it did or didn’t.” This was a complete turnaround from her Facebook post, where she had originally written: “The incident DID happen, many of us heard about it in school.”...

Kavanaugh accuser agrees to testify

by Joel Gehrke

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ The woman who accused Judge Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her in high school agreed Saturday to testify in advance of a scheduled vote to advance his nomination to the Supreme Court... “Dr. Ford accepts the Committee’s request to provide her first-hand knowledge of Brett Kavanaugh’s sexual misconduct next week,” Christine Blasey Ford’s attorneys, Debra Katz and Lisa Banks, informed the Senate Judiciary Committee. Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, has been negotiating with Ford’s attorneys about the conditions under which she might testify to the committee. Her team missed a series of deadlines to come to an agreement, leading Grassley to call for a final answer by 2:30 on Saturday; if she wouldn’t accept an invitation to appear on Wednesday, he would proceed with a plan to vote Kavanaugh out of committee on Monday. “Five times now we have granted extension for Dr Ford to decide if she wants to proceed with her desire stated one week ago that she wants to tell senate her story,” Grassley tweeted Friday. “Dr Ford if u changed ur mind say so so we can move on I want to hear ur testimony.

Antifa Website Calls for 'Slaughter'

of 'Fascistic Border Patrol Dogs and Their Bosses'

by DEBRA HEINE

{ pjmedia.com } ~ In a post Thursday at far-left antifa website Incendiary News, an activist advocated for revolutionaries to rise up and "slaughter"... what he called "fascistic Border Patrol dogs and their bosses," Far Left Watch reported on Friday. Disturbingly, far-left activists have in recent months become more brazenly militant and violent in their rhetoric on their websites and social media, as PJ Media has documented. The author of the Incendiary News piece, Ulrike Salazar, likens Border Patrol agents to SS troops who "take away young boys and girls, tear apart families, throw away undesirables into dark and cramped dungeons." Then, after decrying all of the so-called atrocities committed by Border Patrol against illegal immigrants, Salazar writes: "This author only hopes that this chapter in American history will also include the moment when revolutionaries rose up with the masses and slaughtered the fascistic Border Patrol dogs and their bosses, slaying them with revolutionary fire and justice."... The FBI should get on their case and devolve them.

by Judge Andrew Napolitano

{ townhall.com } ~ If you have been following the serious destruction brought about by Hurricane Florence in North Carolina and the political turmoil caused by the allegations of teenage sexual misconduct made by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford against Judge Brett Kavanaugh, along with his firm and unbending denials, you might have missed a profound event in a federal courtroom in the nation's capital late last week.

The Florence damage may take years to repair, and the Kavanaugh nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court, which once seemed assured, at this writing is in a sort of limbo, pending an Anita Hill/Clarence Thomas-like confrontation before the Senate Judiciary Committee next week. But when Paul Manafort, President Donald Trump's one-time campaign chair, entered a guilty plea in federal court last week, it created the potential for a political earthquake.

Here is the backstory.

Manafort was indicted by two federal grand juries -- one in Arlington, Virginia, and the other in Washington, D.C. -- for financial crimes committed before and during his time running the 2016 Trump presidential campaign. Both prosecutions have been led by dirty cop-Robert Mueller, the Department of Justice-appointed special counsel charged with investigating whether there was a conspiracy between the Trump campaign and people working for the Russian government.

Often, when prosecutors are looking for evidence of crime A, they find evidence of crime B. This is what happened to Manafort. Yet, as the trial judge said in Manafort's Virginia trial last month, which ended in convictions on 8 of 18 charges, the feds were indeed looking for evidence of crime B as well. We all know that the principal reason for pursuing Manafort on financial crimes has been to squeeze him for what he knows about Trump.

Last week, on the eve of Manafort's second trial, that prosecutorial strategy paid off when he entered a guilty plea before a federal judge in Washington, D.C. Manafort's guilty plea is unique and extraordinary. In the plea, Manafort, who only pleaded guilty to two federal crimes -- witness tampering and conspiracy to defraud the government -- also admitted that he committed dozens of other federal and state crimes.

This was intentionally maneuvered by dirty cop-Mueller as part of the plea agreement so as to make it bulletproof from a presidential pardon. I have never seen this before. The president can only pardon federal crimes. Should he do so for Manafort, state prosecutors in New York, Virginia and California -- the states where these crimes mainly bank fraud to which Manafort admitted under oath actually took place -- can seek indictments immediately. It will be easy to indict and easy to convict Manafort because of his public admissions last Friday.

The pattern of crimes to which Manafort admitted but for which he did not plead guilty is breathtaking. It involves tens of millions of dollars, the highest-ranking former government officials in the Ukraine, an unnamed scumbag/liar-nObama Cabinet member and a few Russian oligarchs. The only good news for Trump in all this is that he and his Republican congressional colleagues will be spared the daily barrage of negative headlines from a second Manafort trial, which was scheduled to start this week and which would have led up to the midterm elections, had it not been aborted by the guilty plea. But the president surely fears a beast in the night in the form of whatever Manafort privately tells dirty cop-Mueller.

The plea agreement -- all 117 pages of it -- does not spell out what evidence Manafort gave dirty cop-Mueller to persuade him to agree to cap Manafort's prison time exposure at 10 years when he could have gotten 60. But it does spell out Manafort's willingness and now legal obligation to assist dirty cop-Mueller.

We know that Manafort's personal offer of assistance todirty cop-Mueller took place over the course of two days of negotiations on Monday and Tuesday of last week. That type of meeting, during which Manafort tipped his hand as to what evidence he could give dirty cop-Mueller about Trump, has been called a "Queen for a Day" by federal prosecutors and FBI agents because the defendant gets to say whatever he wants and if the negotiations fail to produce a deal the feds cannot use what the defendant has told them. The meeting obviously intrigued and excited dirty cop-Mueller's team, and hence a deal was struck.

What did he tell them?

Manafort was present at the July 2016 Trump Tower meeting between campaign officials and Russian intelligence agents, and he made notes. He was present at the preparatory meeting for that Trump Tower meeting. He can probably explain the circuitous and mysterious route of Russian money transfers that followed the Trump Tower meeting. He can explain the 80 times the campaign was in contact with the Russians while he was the campaign chair, and he probably knows if Trump personally knew of the Trump Tower meeting in advance and of any agreements made there.

Stated differently, Manafort can help dirty cop-Mueller paint the Trump Tower meeting and whatever followed it as an agreement by the campaign to accept something of value from a foreign entity, even if the thing of value never arrived: That would be a criminal conspiracy, which my media colleagues call "collusion," a non-legal term. Manafort can also inform dirty cop-Mueller of his financial deals with Trump that preceded Trump's candidacy, at least one of which involved Russian money.

The president's lawyers have shrugged off the Manafort guilty plea as unrelated to the president. This is false bravado for public consumption only, and I don't blame them for it when their client is the president. But if their client has been candid with them, then they can prepare for the Manafort bombshells that are coming.

Another Kavanaugh classmate,

{ conservativeinstitute.org } ~ Another former high school classmate of Brett Kavanaugh has stepped forward to deny allegations of sexual assault... against the Supreme Court nominee by college professor Christine Blasey Ford. In a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee, Patrick J. Smyth said that Ford claimed he was present at the party where the alleged assault occurred. However, Smyth denies having any knowledge of that party or of Ford’s specific allegations against Brett Kavanaugh. He also vouched for Kavanaugh’s character and “integrity.” Ford went public with a story with the Washington Post on Sunday, saying four boys were present at the party. The story named two of them — Kavanaugh and another classmate, Mark Judge. Ford said both were in the bedroom where the alleged attack happened. The story mentioned that she named two other witnesses, but their names were not published by the Post.

Manhunt ends for Pennsylvania man

who allegedly threatened Trump

by Paulina Dedaj

{ foxnews.com } ~ The manhunt for a Pennsylvania man who allegedly threatened to “put a bullet” in President Trump’s head has finally ended... officials said Friday. Shawn Richard Christy, 26, surrendered after being tracked down to a ravine just north of Route 30 in Mansfield, Ohio, about 4:30 p.m., just three hours after the day’s search began, officials said at a press conference. “He was captured with a firearm on him and the FBI is processing that and he going to be facing further charges on that firearm,” U.S. Marshal Brian Fitzgibbon said. He would not confirm what the firearm was other than it was a pistol believed to have been taken from a property in Pennsylvania. Christy has been on the run since June 19, after he allegedly threatening John M. Morganelli, the district attorney of Northampton County, Pennsylvania, and Trump in a Facebook post that has since been deleted. “Keep it up Morganelli, I promise I’ll put a bullet in your head as soon as I put one in the head of President Donald J. Trump,” Christy allegedly wrote. A federal warrant was issued for his arrest as a result...

House Judiciary Committee Plans to Subpoena

McCabe Memos Outlined in New York Times Reporting

{ theconservativetreehouse.com } ~ The House Judiciary Committee, chaired by Bob Goodlatte, tweeted today their intention to immediately subpoena the memos written by fired Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe...   The memos were part of an article presented by the New York Times citing evidence of Rod Rosenstein making statements about President Trump. The House Judiciary Committee announced on Friday that it intends to subpoena memos from former acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe  detailing reported comments made by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein in which he proposed secretly taping conversations with President Trump and initiating a process to remove the president by invoking the 25th Amendment.  However, the subpoena alone that’s not the revelation-angle within the story. There’s a bigger story as noted by judiciary committee  Representative Jim Jordan: “Mr. Rosenstein, give Congress the McCabe memos that we asked for in July and all the other documents we’ve requested so we can all judge for ourselves.” The bigger revelation here is how someone, some unknown FBI officials, kept the McCabe  memos from congress and subsequently from a previous internal INSD investigation of McCabe...  https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/09/21/house-judiciary-committee-plans-to-subpoena-mccabe-memos-outlined-in-new-york-times-reporting/

dummycrats-Dems Say GOP Treating Kavanaugh

Accuser Worse Than Anita Hill

{ thehill.com } ~ Senate dummycrats-Democrats on the Judiciary Committee said on Friday Republicans on the committee are treating... the woman accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault worse than senators treated Anita Hill in the 90s. "Up to this point, the Committee majority’s treatment of Dr. Ford has unquestionably been worse than the disgraceful treatment that Anita Hill received 27 years ago," the ten dummycrats- Democrats on the panel—led by Sen. Dianne Fein-stein (D-Calif.)—wrote in a letter sent to Sen. Chuck Grassley(R-Iowa), who oversees the committee. dummycrats- Democrats have seized on the 1991 hearings, where Hill testified publicly during a televised hearing about Clarence Thomas allegedly sexually harassing her.

President Trump Signs Spending Bill

to Renovate US Military Bases

by Melanie Arter 

{ cnsnews.com } ~ President Donald Trump signed into law Friday an appropriations bill that will pay for renovations to U.S. military bases... and give veterans the flexibility to see a private doctor when faced with long lines at the VA, thereby delivering on his campaign promise. “Today, I'm honored to be at the North Las Vegas VA Medical Center to sign into law a historic government funding bill that will renovate our nation’s military bases and provide great world-class care to our great veterans,” the president said. “With this funding bill, we've increased the VA’s budget to the largest ever. We are delivering the resources needed to fully implement crucial VA reforms that, as you know, we've gotten,” Trump said, referring to the Energy and Water, Legislative Branch, and Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Appropriation Act of 2019 (H.R. 5895). “Today, for the first time in American history, I am about to sign a bill that will fully and permanently give our great and cherished veterans choice, so you don't have to wait on line for 18 days to take care of a simple -- I mean, we had people waiting on line with a simple problem that, by the time they saw the doctor, they were terminally ill.

{ conservativeinstitute.org } ~ We’ve long known that unelected leftist bureaucrats embedded in the bowels of the federal government have been lawlessly targeting conservatives and abusing their power to thwart the agenda of duly elected Republican policymakers. The proof keeps pouring in.

The scumbag/liar-nObama administration’s IRS deliberately discriminated against conservative groups in their applications for tax-exempt status. This isn’t an empty partisan allegation from an imaginary “right-wing conspiracy.”

In 2013, an IRS official admitted scrutinizing groups with right wing identifying names, such as “Tea Party” and “patriots.” An inspector general’s report that year confirmed this nefarious practice.

At least two groups of cases were settled in 2017 with the IRS agreeing to a “substantial financial settlement” in one and expressing “its sincere apology” in another. This is the kind of tyrannical behavior that liberals used to care about.

In a case involving the Linchpins of Liberty and some 40 other conservative organizations, the IRS confessed that it used “heighted scrutiny and inordinate delays” and required unnecessary information in its review of applications for tax-exemptions.

In the NorCal Tea Party Patriots case, involving more than 400 groups, plaintiffs contended the IRS used their tax information for improper purposes.

I know opponents of President Donald Trump roll their eyes in ridicule at the mere suggestion of a deep state committed to undermining Trump’s agenda. That’s the stuff of paranoid conspiracy theorists or unhinged Trumpublican tribalists, they say.

Well, James O’Keefe, and his Project Veritas, has shown, again, that there is a “there” there.

O’Keefe recently released secret videotapes in which some of these boorish bureaucrats brazenly admit their chicanery, and even brag about it. On Tuesday, Project Veritas released the first of its tapes unmasking these proud pinheads boasting of sabotaging the Trump agenda.

The video features State Department employee Stuart Karaffa, a smarmy, self-proclaimed socialist using his government position to resist official Trump administration policies. Karaffa is a member of the Metro DC dummycrats-Democratic Socialists of America, bless his heart.

He admits to drafting DSA communications at his worksite.

“I’m careful about it,” says Karaffa. “I don’t leave a paper trail, like I leave emails, and like any press s— that comes up, I leave that until after 5:30. But as soon as 5:31 hits, got my like draft messages ready to send out.”

Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen from a D.C.-area restaurant. That was beyond despicable. Hrabar allegedly uses the LexisNexis search engine on her work computer to find home addresses for dummycrats-DSA protests, such as that of D.C. lobbyist Jeremy Wiley.

She reportedly ran his license plate to help locate his home. Hrabar smugly brags that as an employee of the DOJ, “We can’t like get fired.”

Hrabar also reveals that one of her dummycrats-DSA colleagues, who works in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, slows down the process to help people stay on food stamps longer.

Schubel admits on the tape to the existence of “a little resistance movement” within the federal government, and says that her friends at the Department of Health and Human Services give her confidential information before it is officially released.

“Yeah. It’s kind of like the Nixon, deep throat type of thing,” she gloats. She further admits, “There’s a lot of talk about how we can like, resist from inside the Justice Department.”

Isn’t it cute when leftists virtue signal their feigned concern for the integrity of our democratic process? When you hear a leftist complaining about interference with our elections — or corruption of “our democracy” — just remember that they are ends-justifies-the-means progressives who care not a whit about lawful elections, only advancing their agenda.

With their persistent lawlessness and overreach, the mavens of the “resistance” have awakened a sleeping giant in grassroots conservatives throughout the nation, and they will come to regret it.

Chuck Grassley extends deadline for Kavanaugh accuser

by Allison Elyse Gualtieri

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ Sen. Chuck Grassley announced that there's a new deadline for Christine Blasey Ford to say if she'll testify in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee: 10 p.m. Friday... He will also schedule a vote for Monday, the committee chairman said in a statement, in case Ford or her attorneys do not respond. Blasey Ford has accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her more than 30 years ago at a party while the two were high schoolers. The accusation has upended the confirmation process for Kavanaugh after coming to light last week. "It's Friday night and nothing's been agreed to despite our extensive efforts to make testimony possible," Grassley's statement said. The panel has invited both Kavanaugh and Ford to testify. While Kavanaugh has already accepted the invitation, Ford's legal team has been negotiating over conditions for her appearance. "In the event we can come to a reasonable resolution as I've been seeking all week, then I will postpone the committee vote to accommodate her testimony," the Iowa Republican said in the statement. "We cannot continue to delay."...

Now the President Has Incontrovertible

Cause to Fire Rosenstein Today!

by Adam Goldman and Michael S. Schmidt

{ nytimes.com } ~The deputy attorney general, Rod J. Rosenstein, suggested last year that he secretly record President Trump in the White House... to expose the chaos consuming the administration, and he discussed recruiting cabinet members to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Mr. Trump from office for being unfit. Mr. Rosenstein made these suggestions in the spring of 2017 when Mr. Trump’s firing of scumbag-James B. Comey as F.B.I. director plunged the White House into turmoil. Over the ensuing days, the president divulged classified intelligence to Russians in the Oval Office, and revelations emerged that Mr. Trump had asked Mr. scumbag-Comey to pledge loyalty and end an investigation into a senior aide. Mr. Rosenstein was just two weeks into his job. He had begun overseeing the Russia investigation and played a key role in the president’s dismissal of Mr. scumbag- Comey by writing a memo critical of his handling of the liar-Hillary Clinton email investigation. But Mr. Rosenstein was caught off guard when Mr. Trump cited the memo in the firing, and he began telling people that he feared he had been used. Mr. Rosenstein made the remarks about secretly recording Mr. Trump and about the 25th Amendment in meetings and conversations with other Justice Department and F.B.I. officials. Several people described the episodes in interviews over the past several months, insisting on anonymity to discuss internal deliberations. The people were briefed either on the events themselves or on memos written by F.B.I. officials, including Andrew G. McCabe, then the acting bureau director, that documented Mr. Rosenstein’s actions and comments. None of Mr. Rosenstein’s proposals apparently came to fruition. It is not clear how determined he was about seeing them through, though he did tell Mr. McCabe that he might be able to persuade Attorney General Jeff Sessions and John F. Kelly, then the secretary of homeland security and now the White House chief of staff, to mount an effort to invoke the 25th Amendment...  https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/21/us/politics/rod-rosenstein-wear-wire-25th-amendment.html

Senate Judiciary Committee Refuses to Accept

Christine Blasey Ford’s Requests to Testify 

by Jim E

{ thepoliticalinsider.com } ~ Fraud. The more this goes on, the more of a fraud it becomes. Christine Blasey Ford, the woman who accused Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her in high school... has gone back and forth on her willingness to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee. At first, her attorney said she was willing to take the stand and reveal her story on President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee. Then Ford took it back. She refused to testify before the FBI investigated the matter, despite the federal agency not having jurisdiction over the matter. Now, she is once again willing to testify but only with some preconditions met. A few of these demands are reasonable: her safety is assured and Kavanaugh isn’t in the same room as her when it occurs. But some demands are beyond the pale. One of her requests is that Kavanaugh testifies before her, therefore not giving him a chance to address her claims. That’s nonsense on its face. Additionally, she wants to witness Mark Judge testify, despite his denying the incident actually occurred...  https://thepoliticalinsider.com/christine-ford-testify-demands/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=criticalimpact&utm_campaign=TPI_Afternoon_Newsletter_9_21_2018&utm_content=4b4ea4948726422aa6473c7b9fa19141&source=CI

dummycDem Candidate Now Calling

for Kavanaugh Confirmation To Continue 

by Chris Agee 

{ westernjournal.com } ~  A dummycrats-Democrat Senate candidate is siding with some in the GOP who say a vote on U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh should go forward... if the woman accusing him of sexual assault declines an invitation to testify. Christine Blasey Ford has maintained her claim that Kavanaugh forced himself on her at a party in the early 1980s. She has indicated that she will share her story with the Senate Judiciary Committee, but her lawyer has put forth a list of ground rules for such testimony. For candidate Phil Bredesen, who faces a challenging Senate bid in the Republican stronghold of Tennessee, the claims articulated thus far are enough to impact his opinion but should not derail Kavanaugh’s confirmation altogether, The Associated Press reported. “She has put herself out there,” the candidate said. “If she decided at this point to not do something, I guess the committee has to go ahead and say, ‘Well, we were willing to listen, but if she’s not willing to talk we need to go forward.'” Bredesen described Ford’s allegation as “a very credible story” and said her claims, if true, would be severe enough to keep Kavanaugh off the Supreme Court bench. He said the accusations Ford has made are “close to being disqualifying, if not disqualifying.”... Bredesen don't you believe Kavanaugh? It sure sounds like you don't.

An American flag was destroyed and replaced with

an ISIS flag at a Utah high school

by Alex Horton

{ washingtonpost.com } ~ As territory for the Islamic State shrinks to ribbons around the Euphrates River in Syria... the militant group has repositioned itself in western Africa, Yemen and southwestern Utah. Wait, back up. Where? Officers in Hurricane, Utah, said Thursday that an American flag was ripped from a flagpole, desecrated, slashed and replaced with something resembling the notorious black ISIS banner. Authorities also discovered a truncated message scrawled on a wall: “ISIS IS COMI.” Police said that they referred the criminal act to the FBI, which concluded the incident was probably not connected to anyone in the terrorist group. Classes at Hurricane High School were held as scheduled Thursday and are expected to continue Friday, with police in the St. George suburb saying they are confident there is no danger to students or teachers. The investigation is ongoing, police said...

Anyone who dares to ask simple questions about the situation, like who, what, when, where, why and how, is automatically characterized as “doubting the story of a survivor.”

Sexual assault is one of the most sensitive areas of criminal misconduct in American society. Allegations of sexual assault are very serious for all parties involved and they should be treated as such. Women who are victimized should be taken seriously as they seek justice. Men who are accused of sexual misconduct have the right to face their accusers, in addition to being presumed innocent until proven guilty.

While the majority of women who make sexual abuse allegations tell the truth, ugly history of high profile cases show some don’t.

In March of 2006, Crystal Mangum accused white members of the Duke lacrosse team of gang raping her at a party. Before any evidence was provided to a court or to the public, the lives of the players were turned upside down. Their season was cancelled, the coach resigned, Duke faculty upheld the players as examples of racism in America and the New York Times smeared the players on a national level. The players were deemed guilty from the beginning.

When DNA evidence from all 46 eligible members of the team came back as negative, over zealous District Attorney Mike Nifong pressed on. Three young men, Collin Finnerty, David Evans, and Reade Seligmann, were arrested and charged.

“These allegations are lies. Fabricated and they will be proven wrong,” Evans, who served as team captain, said at the time.

Eventually the case fell apart and the charges were dropped. The players were declared innocent, just as they had argued and the evidence proved all along. Their reputations, however, were tarnished forever. Years later, Mangum was found guilty of murdering her boyfriend.

In 2014 Columbia University student Emma Sulkowitz claimed fellow student Paul Nungesser violently raped her. The police and university investigated and found no wrongdoing. Nungesser denied the allegations.

In her pursuit of justice and in order to “prove” her allegation, Sulkowitz carried a mattress around campus and vowed to do so until Nungesser was kicked off campus or put behind bars. In her mind he was a rapist and she wanted everyone to know it.

Her actions received praise from Democrat Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, she was invited to President Obama’s State of the Union address as a guest and was given glowing profiles in a number of major media outlets, including the New York Times. Her depiction of Nungesser was a success, with students and professors shunning him. This prompted Nugesser to file a lawsuit against the university and eventually officials issued an apology.

“Columbia recognizes that after the conclusion of the investigation, Paul’s remaining time at Columbia became very difficult for him and not what Columbia would want any of its students to experience,” the university released in a statement. “Columbia will continue to review and update its policies toward ensuring that every student — accuser and accused, including those like Paul who are found not responsible — is treated respectfully and as a full member of the Columbia community.”

That same year, Rolling Stone published a story titled, “A Rape on Campus.” The story alleged members of a fraternity repeatedly raped a woman named “Jackie.” The story wasn’t true, the rape didn’t happen and the magazine eventually paid the fraternity nearly $2 million after losing a defamation lawsuit.

"The article, written by Sabrina Rubin Erdely, was retracted in April 2015 after a police investigation found no evidence to back up Jackie's account," NBC News reported in 2017, when the lawsuit was settled. "In their complaint, the fraternity claimed the magazine knew that Jackie was not a reliable source but proceeded to publish her story without verifying all of her facts. The writer did not attempt to reach out to the alleged ringleader of the supposed attack or contact any others who could have debunked the story, the suit claimed."

In America, it is our duty to avoid the conviction of innocent men. Our system of justice, although flawed at times, is set up to prevent false convictions through due process. A system of due process allows for an equal, unbiased playing field between the accuser and the accused. In the court of public opinion, like in a court of law, we should base judgment on the evidence, rather than automatically condemning men who are accused by women.  This isn’t an assumption that a woman making an accusation is lying, rather, it’s the best way to provide true justice and credibility to both parties.

This of course brings us to the current accusation against Supreme Court Justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh. Christine Blasey Ford, a professor at Stanford University, alleges Kavanaugh attempted to rape her while drunk at a party in high school.

“While his friend watched, she said, Kavanaugh pinned her to a bed on her back and groped her over her clothes, grinding his body against hers and clumsily attempting to pull off her one-piece bathing suit and the clothing she wore over it. When she tried to scream, she said, he put his hand over her mouth,” the Washington Post reported. “’I thought he might inadvertently kill me,’ said Ford, now a 51-year-old research psychologist in northern California. ‘He was trying to attack me and remove my clothing.’”

Crucial details surrounding Ford’s allegation are still missing. Where was the party? When did the party occur? She’s also been unclear about how many people were in the room. First it was four and then it was two.

Kavanaugh completely rejects the allegation and has vehemently argued he has never engaged in the type of behavior alleged toward anyone.

“This is a completely false allegation. I have never done anything like what the accuser describes—to her or to anyone," Kavanaugh released in a statement. "Because this never happened, I had no idea who was making this accusation until she identified herself yesterday.”

"I am willing to talk to the Senate Judiciary Committee in any way the Committee deems appropriate to refute this false allegation, from 36 years ago, and defend my integrity,” he continued. “Sixty-five women who knew Kavanaugh in high school, including two who dated him, have backed his integrity, behavior and character. “

In order for true justice for either party to be achieved, judgment should be rendered on the facts, not on gender. No two sexual assault cases are the same and each should be viewed and analyzed individually. The claims of both parties should be taken seriously, investigated and truthfulness determined on evidence.

Unforgiven

{ city-journal.org } ~ Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh has been accused of sexually assaulting a woman. According to the accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, during a party Kavanaugh and a friend, both heavily intoxicated, pulled her into a bedroom, closed the door, and pushed her onto a bed. Kavanaugh got on top of her, and, placing a hand over her mouth to muffle her screams, groped her and tried to remove her clothing. Terrified, she was able to escape and hide in a bathroom before fleeing the house. 

This happened 36 years ago, Ford says. Kavanaugh was 17 years old at the time and Ford, 15. Kavanaugh firmly denies the story.

These last facts should make all those determined to use the charge as the poison pill to kill the judge’s nomination nervous. They’re on the verge of setting a dangerous precedent that will inevitably come back to bite them. 

For one thing, they are setting the stage for condemning to reputation-death not just a Roe v. Wade-threatening Supreme Court nominee but any person, man or woman, Bible-thumper or dummycrats-Democratic socialist, by accusation alone. Ford’s story is almost impossible to investigate, much less to corroborate. It happened either in 1982 or 1983; it was either in June or August; it was a house, but she doesn’t know whose; she can’t recall how she got home. 

Despite the hazy details, many find Ford’s story is credible, and for good reason: there’s nothing extraordinary about the events she describes, unfortunately, and over the years she told two therapists about them, though it’s not clear that she ever named Kavanaugh. Still, those who caution that human memory is unreliable, especially after more than three decades, are indisputably right. Is she certain that it was Brett Kavanaugh who was on top of her during those dreadful minutes? She had reason to fear that he was going to rape her, but do we know that that’s what he was intending, and does that make a difference? Kavanaugh himself might not know the answer. Multiply 35 years by large quantities of alcohol—Ford described Kavanaugh and his buddy as “stumbling drunk”—and you’ve got a terrible formula for truth-seeking. 

Even with corroborating evidence, the case raises difficult questions about what constitutes disqualifying behavior. Attempted rape? No senator, even in the motley crew that now inhabits our upper chamber, would be willing to give a thumbs-up to a Supreme Court nominee with a felony on his or her record. Such a candidate would never be nominated to begin with. 

But how about if this was a single instance of drunken groping by a minor? Keep in mind that all modern societies use different standards for judging and punishing minors than they do for adults. These days, people point to brain science to prove that adolescents have poor impulse control and social-emotional awareness, but you don’t need neural imaging to know that adolescents can be dumb risk-takers. That’s why we seal juvenile records. That’s why we have juvenile facilities and diversion programs. That’s why the goal in juvenile proceedings is not so much punishment as deterrence and rehabilitation. Kids grow up; they change; often, they straighten out.  

Just about all the liberal commentary on the Kavanaugh–Ford affair thus far has trivialized this distinction between juvenile and adult by referring to it as a “boys will be boys” excuse. “Boys Will Be Supreme Court Justices” was the title New York Times editors gave to Michelle Goldberg’s Tuesday column. “Much of defensive reaction I’m seeing around Kavanaugh & not just from the right suggests that lots of people think a regular part of male development is the stage where boys drunkenly pin down young women & try to assault them,” New York columnist Rebecca Traister tweeted. Another tweet by popular progressive writer Jeet Heer continues in that vein: “I’m fascinated by the ‘teenage rapists deserve a pass’ strand of conservatism that is emerging.”  

They are missing the point. No one—or at least no one outside the lunatic fringes of social media—is arguing that rapey behavior by teenaged boys is okay because, hormones. What they are suggesting is that the cruel and aggressive actions of an adolescent don’t deserve the same level of scrutiny and punishment as those of an adult. The perpetrators of such actions are more likely to be boys because hormones, but both sexes deserve a lighter touch when they’re underage.  

That Kavanaugh’s fiercest opponents are now using a (tenuously recalled) adolescent crime as proof of his unfitness is an irony worth considering. The Left has always been at the forefront of the fight for leniency for minors. Progressives founded the juvenile court in 1899. Liberals fought “law and order” conservative attempts to try juveniles as adults initiated during the crime wave of the 1970s through 1990s. They pointed out, accurately, that those policies affected black kids far more than white. They were rightfully indignant that prepubescent children could be labelled sex offenders. “Children are regularly put on sex offender registries, sometimes for their entire lives, for conduct less serious than what Kavanaugh is accused of,” writes Goldberg. Well, yes. That’s exactly the tough-on-juvenile-crime approach that has five times as many black as white juveniles in prison and that Goldberg herself would justify against Kavanaugh. 

Now, you could still argue, reasonably enough, that the bar should be set higher for a Supreme Court justice than for many other official positions; that 17 is old enough to justify severe lifelong consequences; that Kavanaugh, assuming that he is guilty, would have deserved a pass if only he would admit and apologize for his transgression. But these arguments need to be made as a matter of considered, consistent principle, and far away from the political war zone.

Men and women are not angels. Someday a brilliant, highly experienced, well-regarded woman may well be sitting in Kavanaugh’s seat and be accused at the zero hour and after interminable vetting of, say, stalking a former boyfriend or snorting cocaine when she was going through a bad stretch in high school. Then what?
