I looked at my tech, 20 something Vietnamese-American "Jackie" studying for her nursing degree at ASU. What do you think, Jackie?
She frowned, pulled down her "mask" and said, "She's a liar", pulled her mask back up and continued with my nails. #KavanaughAccuser #HoldTheVote

The entire salon burst out laughing. Then someone's grandma from the Pedi-Chairs spoke up and said "Why don't they see this in DC? Why is the GOP so scared?" The conversation exploded again. #KavanaughAccuser #HoldTheVote

This went on, back and forth the entire time I was there getting my nails done--60 minutes at least. New clients would walk in, and join right in the conversation. NOT ONE WOMAN THOUGHT HE IS GUILTY. NONE.
#KavanaughAccuser #HoldTheVote And they were all pissed off!

Dershowitz rejects 'I believe her' crowd: 'Are women born with a special gene for telling the truth?'

Dershowitz rejects 'I believe her' crowd: 'Are women born with a special gene for telling the truth?':

Dershowitz warned against the creation of multiple standards of justice in America, and said that would lead to a politicization of the justice system. He said in this case, the decision to confirm or not confirm Kavanaugh should be based on evidence, "not genetic belief in the inferiority or superiority of one gender."

Marine Corps Just Got A New Helicopter-Biggest And Most Expensive Ever | Frontline Videos
THREE TIMES MORE POWERFUL THAN ANYTHING ELSE.
"Sikorsky’s CH-53 line of helicopters has served the United States military since the mid-’60s. Designed for heavy lift and transport, its various versions are used not only by the U.S. but also Germany, Mexico, and Israel, with Japan now interested in purchasing the new one.
...In 2006, Sikorsky gave the Marine Corps a proposal outlining a new version of the CH-53, namely, the CH-53K King Stallion, as opposed to retrofitting the existing fleet. 
The Marine Corps agreed and Sikorsky unveiled their new design almost a decade later.
...Here are some of the most notable differences between the CH-53E and K:

• New, more powerful engines.
• State of the art, all glass cockpit.
• Almost 3 times the lift capacity.
• A wider cargo hold, able to fit a vehicle (Hummvee) internally.

Next crash will be ‘worse than the Great Depression’: experts

Next crash will be ‘worse than the Great Depression’: experts
"Ten years ago, it was too-easy credit that brought financial markets to their knees.
Today, it could be a global debt of $247 trillion that causes the next crash.
After a decade of escalating US household debt brought on by low wages and the national debt more than doubling over the same time frame, to $21 trillion, debt could soon put the brakes on this economic recovery, analysts warn.
“We think the major economies are on the cusp of this turning into the worst recession we have seen in 10 years,” said Murray Gunn, head of global research at Elliott Wave International.
And in a note, he added: “Should the [US] economy start to shrink, and our analysis suggests that it will, the high nominal levels of debt will instantly become a very big issue.”
The economic stats:

• US household debt of $13.3 trillion now exceeds the 2008 peak. That’s due in part to mortgage lending, which is hovering near its decade-ago level of $9 trillion-plus. 
• Student loans outstanding have skyrocketed from $611 billion in 2008 to around $1.5 trillion today. 
• Auto loans, at nearly $1.25 trillion, have exceeded the 2008 total, while credit card balances are just as high now as before the Great Recession.
• Meanwhile, global debt — a result of central bankers flooding economies with cheap money to lift them out of an funk — is now $247 trillion, up from $177 trillion in 2008. That is close to 2 ¹/₂ times the size of the global economy. 

“We won’t be able to call it a recession, it’s going to be worse than the Great Depression,” said economic commentator Peter Schiff, forecasting a major economic downturn as early as the tail end of the Trump presidency’s first term..."

Poking A Hole in Professor Ford's 'Fear of Flying' Excuse

Poking A Hole in Professor Ford's 'Fear of Flying' Excuse:

One of her recent excuses was based on the claim that she couldn’t possibly make it to the hearing in time because Ford has a fear of flying (aviophobia) and would have to drive. Now, let’s put aside the fact that Republicans have literally offered to come out to California to accommodate her, and look into this claim.

Nearly 22,000 Civilians Killed Worldwide in 2017 by Islamic Extremism: Report

Nearly 22,000 Civilians Killed Worldwide in 2017 by Islamic Extremism: Report
"Islamic extremism and efforts to combat it are responsible for 84,000 deaths in 2017, according to a new report from an organization founded by former U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair.
According to the Global Extremism Monitor by the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change released Thursday, at least 84,023 people in 66 countries died because of "violent Islamism" in 2017.

...For 2017, the organization's analysts found that there were "27,092 incidents of violent Islamist extremism and state and nonstate efforts to combat it."

While the data found that there were 7,841 attacks in 48 countries in 2017, at least 47 Islamic extremist groups deliberately "orchestrated fatal campaigns against civilians." 

Those attacks, the report says, were "designed to instill fear and erode public morale."...

Shut this scam down NOW!!-----L.A. Insurance stops selling controversial 7-day auto plans after settlement

L.A. Insurance stops selling controversial 7-day auto plans after settlement
L.A. Insurance has ceased selling seven-day auto insurance plans in Michigan under a settlement agreement its carrier reached with state regulators earlier this year to eliminate the controversial no-fault insurance product.
The Royal Oak-based insurance agency and its carrier, Integon National Insurance Co., came under scrutiny last year from the state Department of Insurance and Financial Services for selling seven-day plans...
...Integon is a subsidiary of Winston-Salem, N.C.-based National General Insurance Group. 
...L.A. Insurance advertised the seven-day auto insurance plans for as little as $199, but the polices often cost more.
...L.A. Insurance CEO Anthony Yousif ..."It's going to really hurt the business. All the stores in Detroit are probably going to end up closing," Yousif told Crain's in a March 2017 interview."...
