A feel-good story for those of us who need one after all the negativity of the last few months.
A remarkable event occurred in June in western Nebraska, a reflection of a city’s history, pride and appreciation for the military. The spirit of the North Platte Canteen resurrected itself.
Judge Kavanugh’s letter to the Judiciary Committee on the final day of his hearing lays out in a dispassionate way exactly what was going on. He also points out the obvious. Good people will be dissuaded from public service if these types of scurrilous attacks succeed. It is worth the read.
On TV recently Hillary Clinton claimed that the only way to return civility to American politics is to put Democrats back in power. Apparently Mrs. Clinton has spent considerable time out in the woods communing with the spirits. She ignored the fact that the Democrats had just tried to destroy Judge Kavanaugh’s reputation – based on what? A couple of unsubstantiated sexual misconduct accusations from nearly four decades ago, a bunch of nonsense from a high school yearbook, and some whiny complaints about the man’s tone in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee!
The center of Michael’s eye is expected to move inland over the Florida Panhandle or Florida Big Bend area later today, move northeastward across the southeastern United States tonight and Thursday, and then move off the Mid-Atlantic coast away from the United States on Friday.
Data from Air Force Reserve and NOAA Hurricane Hunter aircraft indicate that maximum sustained winds have increased to near 130 mph (210 km/h) with higher gusts. Michael is now a category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Some additional strengthening is possible today before Michael makes landfall in the Florida Panhandle or the Florida Big Bend area. (read more) ...
Violence, slander and defamation are the new normal for the Democratic Party. If you do not like the outcome of a particular vote, you riot. If you do not like the verdict of a trial, you rampage through the area. If you do not agree with the political viewpoints of Republican congressmen, you try to assassinate them. If you do not like the outcome of a confirmation vote, you break into the offices of Senators and you assault them or their staffers. If you want to influence a Senator’s vote, you don’t advance your ideas about the issue, you threaten the Senator’s staffers with rape. These are some of the ways of the modern Democratic Party and their followers.
On July 9, 2018, President Donald J. Trump nominated Judge Brett Kavanaugh to a seat on the United States Supreme Court. President Trump said, “There is no one in America more qualified for this position, and no one more deserving,”
“The Rule of Law is our nation’s proud heritage. It is the cornerstone of our freedom. It is what guarantees equal justice,” the President added.
It is clear from Democratic activities during the 89 days before the vote that Democrats harbor no such beliefs. In particular, as we saw time and again during the final few weeks before the vote, they tried to advance the idea that an accusation without any corroborating evidence must be believed.
The Democrats did this with malice aforethought. They dragged the Judge’s good name through the mud. They dragged the Judge’s family through the mud. The strategy was obvious.
Brett Kavanaugh has been confirmed to the Supreme Court. One of the most divisive confirmation hearings ever is over. Does that mean that rancor will disappear? Absolutely not.
Before the vote was taken, the left began the next phase of their plan. Now the effort is to de-legitimize the Supreme Court. After decades of using the Court to create laws that couldn’t be passed through Congress, the Democrats will try to make the Court out to be partisan and not worthy of respect.
Each passing hour reveals more about the corrupt nature of the Ford storyline. It is now abundantly clear that this was a Democratic setup from the outset.
Most of us in the center or on the right have open minds. We were willing to give Prof. Ford the benefit of the doubt about what happened to her. That’s not to say that we thought Judge Kavanaugh was the perpetrator just that we would evaluate all testimony given in what could best be described as a circus.
The explosive revelations of the last 48 hours about the Ford storyline are exposing the Democrats for the lowlifes they truly are. It certainly seems probable that government employees (former and current, DOJ, FBI and/or Senatorial staffs) were directly involved in the construction of Prof. Ford’s story and the scrubbing of her digital fingerprints.
As a result, they are now scrambling to shift the story to the Judge’s drinking as a teenager. Apparently drinking beer as an underage teenager is now a disqualifying event if you want to be a Supreme Court justice.
