The No. 1 Reason to Re-Elect President Trump & Preserve Control of the Senate

Lefties Losing Their Minds: Judge that Clerked for Kavanaugh Nominated to DC Circuit Court

The Same Media That Covered for Weinstein and Epstein, Savaged Brett Kavanaugh
Amy Robach had the goods on Jeffrey Epstein. Evidence, testimony, a lot of work, by the sound of it. Solid investigative reporting. A well connected Democrat colluding with the bright lights of the left, and a serial pedophile running an underage sex slave operation.

Book Review – Justice on Trial: The Kavanaugh Confirmation and the Future of the Supreme Court
I recently took a mini-vacation in Bermuda, which gave me the opportunity to read Justice on Trial, a bestseller by Mollie Hemingway (senior editor at the Federalist) and Carrie Severino (chief counsel at the Judicial Crisis Network) about the nomination and eventual confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the United States Supreme Court. Some takeaways: The … Read more

Nobody Covers (Up For) Maggie Hassan Like WMUR
This: Get it? The news, according to #FatLazyAndBiased at WMUR, is that the GOP are trying to make political hay out of Maggie employing two felons, not Maggie employing two felons.

Applying the Kavanaugh/Covington Standard to Ray Buckley …
We have a new standard in politics. Even things you said and did in high school are now fair game. Let’s call it the Kavanaugh/Covington standard. Democrats attempted to block Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the United States Supreme Court with last-minute, lurid accusations regarding his high-school days. These accusations included that he attempted to sexually … Read more

GrokTV – Chris Christie dances a verbal jig over the Politico reporters word on This Week
I watch the Sunday shows (now that I have DVR capability back) so you don’t have to. I’ll tell you, Chris Christie (former NJ Governor and former Prez wannabe), was absolutely beside himself (no small order, that) and full of glee after the words of Politico’s Rachel Baid’s description of what would happen if the Democrats DO take over the House (as their dreams of taking over the Senate seemingly have set sail). First, her words:
His gleeful response with advice to the GOP:
And the Demcrats have given us…..The MOST Conservative SCOTUS since 1934!
Law of Unintended Consequence is how the Democrats did it – starting with the passage of Obamacare when they owned the Presidency, the House, and the Senate by majority proof margins. The TEA Party movement flashed into being and the pushback on the Right hasn’t stopped. With the recent capturing of all three by Republicans because of the Democrat overreach during the Obama years, we got one of its goals:
Saturday’s confirmation marks more than the dramatic conclusion to a political battle that has waged for more than three months, and instead could mark an inflection point in a philosophical war that has raged for decades. The Supreme Court has not had a conservative majority since 1934, when the New Deal took hold and the Court moved to the left, giving the federal government vast new powers over economic issues. The Court massive broadened federal powers over commerce, taxing, and federal spending.
The New Deal did turn from being a court into being a supra-legislative body and the New Deal also started the process of turning the lower part of the Judiciary to the Left as well. it also served as a bulwark for Democrats that when they lost those New Deal majorities, they could always depend on the courts to uphold its agenda (re: the decisions against Trump shutting down immigration from suspect countries). Now that is at risk:
Get On With It
As I write this, Sen. Susan Collins has just announced her support of Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court. As I listened to her thoughtful and lengthy statement, I couldn’t quite forget the quote (possibly apocryphal) attributed to Dwight Eisenhower: “I made two mistakes and both of them are sitting on the Supreme Court.” Translation: … Read more
Quick Thought – seeking redress should not require police escorts for elected Representatives!
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
While TEA Party folks like myself did protest and assembled all over the country and in DC (and generally left the protest areas cleaner than they found it), while boisterous, we were peaceful. The Left, seeking “redress”? Not so much:
Police escorts for senators after protesters swarm the Capitol ahead of Brett Kavanaugh confirmation vote
The impassioned fight over Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court has led to heightened security at the Capitol, with some senators using police escorts to shield them from protesters. United States Capitol Police have arrested dozens of protesters in recent days and stepped up their presence in Capitol hallways. Some Republican senators have expressed unease over protesters who have confronted them at their Senate offices, restaurants, airports and even their homes.
