Why the Left Is Consumed With Hate - WSJ:
For many on the left a hateful anti-Americanism has become a self-congratulatory lifestyle. “America was never that great,” New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo recently said. For radical groups like Black Lives Matter, hatred of America is a theme of identity, a display of racial pride.
For other leftists, hate is a license. Conservative speakers can be shouted down, even assaulted, on university campuses. Republican officials can be harassed in restaurants, in the street, in front of their homes. Certain leaders of the left—Rep. Maxine Waters comes to mind—are self-appointed practitioners of hate, urging their followers to think of hatred as power itself.
How did the American left—conceived to bring more compassion and justice to the world—become so given to hate?

Never Negotiate With Sociopaths: Liars, Democrats and the #Kavanaugh Smear : The Other McCain
Never Negotiate With Sociopaths: Liars, Democrats and the #Kavanaugh Smear : The Other McCain
"There was a moment during Thursday’s hearing when Christine Blasey Ford was asked, “Was it communicated to you by your counsel or someone else, that the committee had asked to interview you and that — that they offered to come out to California to do so?”
But if Garrett, who Ford has clear memories of, had been at the party, he would obviously be a witness in the matter, and someone the FBI would want to interview. His presence would also raise the question of why Ford has never mentioned him. She remembers a party from 36 years ago, remembers five people who were there, and doesn’t remember that the person she was closest to at the time was also there? . . .
"There was a moment during Thursday’s hearing when Christine Blasey Ford was asked, “Was it communicated to you by your counsel or someone else, that the committee had asked to interview you and that — that they offered to come out to California to do so?”
At which point, her lawyer Michael Bromwich grabbed the microphone to interrupt: “We’re going to object, Mr. Chairman, to any call for privileged conversations between counsel and Dr. Ford.”
A poker player would call that a “tell.”
She had also flown to the D.C. area in August, when she took a polygraph test at the Hilton Hotelnear Baltimore-Washington International Airport.
Among the many things we learned from Thursday’s hearing was that the excuse given for delaying Professor Ford’s testimony was a lie.
She wasn’t afraid of flying.
She was a frequent flyer, traveling to vacations around the world and, in point of fact, at the time the Senate Judiciary Committee was offering to fly to California to interview her, Professor Ford was not in California.
She was already in the D.C. area, having flown there to strategize with her lawyers, who were recommended to her by Sen. Dianne Feinstein. She had also flown to the D.C. area in August, when she took a polygraph test at the Hilton Hotelnear Baltimore-Washington International Airport.
This was all a set-up, a carefully planned ambush by Democrats, calculated either to force Judge Kavanaugh to withdraw his name for the Supreme Court nomination, or else to delay the process past the midterm elections, turning the nomination into a campaign issue.
Once you understand this, the coordination between Senate Democrats and Professor Ford’s lawyers appears highly significant.
...Don’t appease bullies, and never negotiate with sociopaths.
UPDATE: Great minds think alike:
Most notably, if the July 1 party were the event at which Ford claims she was assaulted, what about Timmy, Tom, Bernie, and Squi? They are, respectively, Kavanaugh high school friends Tim Gaudette, Tom Kane, Bernie McCarthy, and Chris Garrett. What might they know about what took place?
If the July 1 party were the event in question, the presence of Garrett would be especially noteworthy. In her testimony, Ford said she was going out with Garrett at that time in the summer of 1982. Today, she remembers him well. When Kavanaugh supporter Ed Whalen came up with a theory of mistaken identity, suggesting without evidence that Garrett, and not Kavanaugh, attacked Ford, Ford quickly said that there was no way she would mistake the two, and that she knew without doubt that Kavanaugh, not Garrett, was her attacker.But if Garrett, who Ford has clear memories of, had been at the party, he would obviously be a witness in the matter, and someone the FBI would want to interview. His presence would also raise the question of why Ford has never mentioned him. She remembers a party from 36 years ago, remembers five people who were there, and doesn’t remember that the person she was closest to at the time was also there? . . .
Read the rest of that by Byron York. There is something definitely wrong with Professor Ford’s story, but we don’t know what it is. Neither the Democrats nor the media (but I repeat myself) seem to have any interest in examining her story critically. Maybe the FBI will..."

Kumbaya? Senate D’s and R’s Unite For Aircraft Owner Tax Breaks – Michigan Capitol Confidential
Kumbaya? Senate D’s and R’s Unite For Aircraft Owner Tax Breaks – Michigan Capitol Confidential:
"With the country appearing to be fractured politically, it is worth reporting when both Democrats and Republicans in the Michigan Senate can come together to support a bill.
That’s what happened Wednesday when the Senate voted 36-0 to pass House Bill 4351, sponsored by Rep. Bronna Kahle, R-Adrian.

Here Are 65 Women Democrats Recently Refused To Believe:
"Liberals have constantly insisted that women need to be believed — yet it’s the left who are now ignoring the testimony of not just one woman, but dozens.
After unproven and vague allegations were raised against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, much media attention was given to his accusers, whose stories range from “impossible to prove” to “absolutely outlandish.”
Far less attention, however, has been paid to a staggering 65 women who have come forward not to condemn Kavanaugh, but to support him as the widely-respected family man and legal scholar they know him to be.
Over five dozen different women recently signed a letter addressed to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley and his Democrat counterpart, Senator Dianne Feinstein.
“We are women who have known Brett Kavanaugh for more than 35 years and knew him while he attended high school between 1979 and 1983,” the publicly available letter begins.
“For the entire time we have known Brett Kavanaugh, he has behaved honorably and treated women with respect,” they continued, refuting the scandalous claims against the nominee..."

Defending Kavanaugh Isn't an Attack on Women
Defending Kavanaugh Isn't an Attack on Women:
Kavanaugh, after all, is the perfect straw man to pay for the sins of all men, past and present. In this paranoid environment, erected on the bad faith of identity politics, any questions regarding credibility, motivation, substantiation, or due process can conveniently be dismissed as an attack on women.
If men, for example, question Ford, it’s a re-victimization, not only of the accuser but of every woman who’s ever been sexually assaulted. If a woman asks those questions—well, that would also be an insult to both the accuser and every woman who has ever been sexually assaulted.

Ted Cruz Takes On Evidence Against Kavanaugh As If He Were In A Court Of Law | The Daily Caller:
Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas dismantled the argument against confirming Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court by systematically evaluating the evidence that was presented to the Senate Judiciary Committee in a way that would be done in a court of law.
“How do the American people resolve the discrepancy when you have two witnesses that testify to things diametrically opposed?” Cruz asked Friday in front of the committee, acknowledging the conflict in testimony between Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford, the woman accusing Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct more than 35 years ago. “Well, the only way I know to — and this is how a court of law operates, this is how most reasonable people operate — is when you have conflicting testimony you look to what does the rest of the evidence demonstrate.”

Senator Jeff Flake was trapped in an elevator today when he was confronted by protesters. Some of the protesters held the door and wouldn’t allow it to close so Flake could proceed to his intended location, which was to be part of the vote for Judge Brett Kavanaugh, Trump’s Supreme Court nominee who faces sexual assault accusations from Christine Blasey Ford.
After some deeper investigation into the people who confronted Flake at the elevator, it was revealed that one of them works for an organization who takes money from George Soros.

LANSING, MI - The House Oversight Committee on Thursday began hearings on a recent, scathing audit of the state's Children's Protective Services division in a search for solutions to help improve the state's handling of cases involving vulnerable children.
The audit, released earlier this month, uncovered significant issues with how the state handled CPS cases.
For instance, CPS workers did not assess the risk of future harm properly in over 35 percent of the cases, didn't refer cases to county prosecutors in 50 percent of the cases and did not provide required medical examinations for children in 15 percent of the cases.

"Like a boss, conservative intellectual Heather Mac Donald completely eviscerates the Left in her new book, “The Diversity Delusion: How Race and Gender Pandering Corrupt the University and Undermine Our Culture.”
Mac Donald, a Manhattan Institute scholar, is a walking encyclopedia with a razor-sharp wit, and she does not suffer fools gladly.
Her 278-page book targets the liberal ideologues running America’s higher education system, both exposing and debuking their agenda.
The book also points out how these ill-guided policies have real world implications in everything from law enforcement to modern science.

“We” must all sacrifice for the environment | Watts Up With That?
"Being “hoisted by his own petard” means the bomb maker gets blown up and lifted sky high by his own explosive device.
Former Colorado Department of Natural Resources director Greg Walcher notes that the term applies with delicious irony to the in-your-face, holier-than-thou environmentalists who inhabit and run San Francisco.
Determined to save locally endangered salmon populations, they and the State of California have long demanded and imposed water use reductions by Central Valley farmers.
But now the California Water Resources Board wants further water use reductions – and this time those reductions will also hit city residences, schools and businesses, and hit them hard: a hefty portion of 98 billion to 220 billion gallons less water per year!
Imagine how many baths, showers, laundry and dishwasher loads, and other “essentials” that would mean.
But those rules and reductions were supposed to apply only to OTHER people, the once ultra-green urbanites are wailing.

Michigan GOP Plans Shredding The Constitution, And Trump, With National Popular Vote
Michigan GOP Plans Shredding The Constitution, And Trump, With National Popular Vote
"When you leave those damn kids alone in late summer session look at the trouble they can get into.
"When you leave those damn kids alone in late summer session look at the trouble they can get into.
The Michigan GOP has decided to try and make sure that the winner of the 2016 election in the state, Donald Trump, could never duplicate that feat again by supporting the National Popular Vote Initiative.
What is the National Popular Vote Initiative? Sounds harmless right?
According to the website it simply wants to…
The National Popular Vote bill would guarantee the Presidency to the candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Actually, it shreds the United States Consitution...
...The video listed below from Prager university does an excellent job in under 5 minutes of explaining this.
So how does this effect a state like Michigan?
In the Presidential election of 2016 when Donald Trump faced off against Hillary Clinton, she won the popular vote according to 270 to win
Clinton 65,845,063
Trump 62,980,160
Trump 62,980,160
Difference 2,864,903
Yet Trump won the electoral vote 304 to 227.
This meant that Michigan, Iowa, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin were in play for the first time in decades.
Had we just gone with the popular vote than the vote totals in California would have sealed the deal for Hillary.
Had we just gone with the popular vote than the vote totals in California would have sealed the deal for Hillary.
Califonia totals were according to politico
Clinton 7,362,490
Trump 3,916,209
Trump 3,916,209
Difference 3,446,281
Califonia alone would have decided the election and all those states in the south and midwest would be set aside for the states on the coast with the most population.
The electoral college made both candidates focus on the issues that are facing Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa which are much different than California.
So why in the world would the Michigan GOP be lining up for something that would have ensured that Donald Trump would not be President?
Well, a free trip to Hawaii wouldn’t hurt. According to the Detroit Free Press…
A group backing a major change in the way the president is elected took a large group of Michigan Republican lawmakers on a free trip to Hawaii in August...
...Stop trying to shred the Consitution.
And pay for your own trips to Hawaii.

Democrats, Kavanaugh and the illness deep within the bones of the republic - Chicago Tribune:
What we are seeing are founding American principles being swept — among them the presumption of innocence and the rights of the accused — to feed the appetites of power politics
That’s what Kavanaugh is dealing with, having to testify and defend himself against uncorroborated allegations of sexual predation 36 years ago, when he was in high school and in his freshman year of college.
The short-term politics of all this is quite clear, a movement led by cynics and assisted by their handmaidens in the Democratic Media Complex.

This claim is not new. In fact, it is the exact same response that Sesame Street Workshop issued in 2011 when 11,000 signers petitioned to have Bert and Ernie get married.
...But perhaps even more, could this highlight a deep and growing problem within our culture? Salzman stated that he thought of Bert and Ernie as gay because he didn’t have any other way to contextualize them.
What happens when children grow up without having categories for friendship, without that friendship being sexualized?

WATCH: Kavanaugh's Impassioned Rebuttal To Accusations Of Sexual Abuse May Have Just Saved His Nomination | Daily Wire:
His performance on Martha MacCallum’s Fox News show, in which he denied all Ford’s allegations, came off as detached.
Not so on Thursday. On Thursday, Kavanaugh unleashed on Senate Democrats and their media enablers, defending his innocence and his character. He cited evidence, background, and character in his defense — and he laid bare the political gamesmanship of the Democrats.

"The Democrats have plunged us into a bizarre fantasy world in which Brett Kavanaugh, by all accounts one of the most honorable men in public life, is effectively on trial as a would-be rapist.
Not because there is any evidence to that effect, but because it serves the Democratic Party’s political convenience.
I have been waiting for more people on the sane side of the political fence to denounce the Democrats’ accusations for what they are: lies.

If there is one organization that knows how to fight, it is the National Rifle Association.
The NRA has released this ad supporting Judge Kavanaugh and denouncing the Democrats’ smears. It features NRA President Lt. Col. Oliver North.
The ad is titled “We Stand With Brett Kavanaugh.”
Polite Senate Republicans are being mugged by the political equivalent of hoodlums.
We need more Americans to stand up and fight back, as the NRA is doing."

The New Color Line at University of Texas - Minding The Campus
"Civil rights leaders once dreamed of a day when Americans would be judged by the content of their character, not the color of their skin, but today a different message is being spread at the University of Texas and other college campuses.
“Diversity” means singling out certain races for special treatment.
...Higher education, integrated even in the Jim Crow south with the support of federal troops in 1963, is returning to racial separation.
Some colleges have separate dorms—designated “safe spaces”—for black students.
At the University of Texas–which the Supreme Court forced to desegregate in 1950, prior to Brown—colorblindness is being replaced with racial division.
The mind-bending irony is that this return to the odious color line is being led by African-American students and academics in the name of diversity!
In the interest of promoting solidarity, UT offers black students a separate lounge area on campus in which to congregate, study, and socialize..."
