Kamala Harris, in the Judiciary cloak room, with letter accusing Brett Kavanaugh of rape
Subtitle this: Thanks a lot, Sen. Jeff Flake, for handing the Democrats an extra week. Now, in the midst of the FBI investigation that Flake demanded go forth against Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh in exchange for his confirmation vote, Sen. Kamala Harris has tossed a letter out there for consideration that comes courtesy of a woman who says she was allegedly raped by the good judge and his friend after they drove her home from a party.

Democrats in glass house as they toss stones at Brett Kavanaugh
Judge Brett Kavanaugh has a clean background -- a point which is most troubling for the Democrats, who are trying to make a case from Christine Blasey Ford's dotted, foggy memories that his supposed sexual assaulting past ought to halt his Supreme Court nomination in its path. Their problem is: The allegations don't match. Published October 2, 2018
Jeff Flake’s astonishing admission of no principles
Sen. Jeff Flake said in an interview on "60 Minutes" that if he were running for re-election, there'd be no way he would call for the FBI to investigate Judge Brett Kavanaugh. This is astonishing. What Flake is admitting, in essence, is that he is unprincipled. Published October 1, 2018
Facebook hack exposes 50 million accounts — and a host of technology question marks
Facebook just found -- or more to truth, just acknowledged -- a glitch in its security system that allowed hackers to take control of up to 50 million accounts. There's a case-in-point of why a technological world is a vulnerable world. Published September 28, 2018
Democrats are playing chess; Republicans, go fish
Brett Kavanaugh shouldn't have had to take such a hard and lonely stand. He shouldn't have been so far out on the Republican branch, absent his Republican support system. The fact that he was brings up a larger question, a problem within the Republican Party, and it's one that goes like this: What is the GOP so afraid of? Published September 28, 2018
Hillary Clinton does television’s ‘Murphy Brown’ — badly

Christine Blasey Ford ‘terrified,’ as questions abound
Christine Blasey Ford has spoken -- and first impressions? Her voice is like a little girl's. Her professional credentials are extensive. And she's scared to death at the can of worms that's been opened. And her testimony still leaves question marks in Brett Kavanaugh supporters' minds. Published September 27, 2018
Ted Cruz restaurant confrontation backfires
The uncalled-for and inappropriate verbal attack on Sen. Ted Cruz and his wife at a D.C. restaurant has backfired, it seems, and now the owners of the establishment say they're getting death threats. This is not a 'hey-ho, that's what the left gets' moment. Nobody deserves death threats. But it is a wake-up call to the Democrats. Published September 27, 2018
Republicans cannot let Democrats win on Brett Kavanaugh
Republicans simply cannot cede this Supreme Court battleground over Judge Brett Kavanaugh to Democrats. If they do, it's not just President Donald Trump who will be affected -- who will see his rightful White House authority to select judicial picks erode in the face of angry politicking. It's the country's constitutional system that will suffer. Published September 27, 2018

Kirsten Gillibrand, a hypocrite who got due process she’s denying Brett Kavanaugh
Kirsten Gillibrand, the senator at the forefront of calling for a withdrawal of Judge Brett Kavanaugh's name from Supreme Court nomination, was once herself accused of seedy ties to a sexual slave cult. She denied it. But according to the standard she's trying to stick on Kavanaugh, shouldn't Gillibrand's seat be held by another? Published September 25, 2018
Noel Francisco, D.C.’s suddenly most important man
Noel Francisco is about to become one of the most important men in Washington, D.C. Why? The solicitor general will be the leading guy in the whole Russia collusion theory the left's been peddling against President Donald Trump since -- well, since the dawn of Trump's political career.

Kirsten Gillibrand calls for end to Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, Democrat from New York, has called for Brett Kavanaugh's name to be withdrawn from Supreme Court nomination. You knew this was coming. The big question was just which Democrat would take point on leading the "Pull Kavanaugh Nomination" charge. Published September 24, 2018
Christine Blasey Ford could indeed be lying
I knew two girls growing up who lied about being raped. Or, more to truth, I knew two girls growing up who said they were raped and then a couple days later, recanted. There are indeed cases where women, for whatever reasons, do make up these stories. Published September 22, 2018
Christine Blasey Ford is not the victim here — Brett Kavanaugh is
The left has been having its usual field day with truth, drumming a beat that Christine Blasey Ford is a victim, simply because she pointed a finger Judge Brett Kavanaugh's way, and therefore she has a right to remain hidden in the shadows, shielded from questioning and criticisms and prying eyes into her past because, after all -- she is the Victim. But at this point in time, it's Kavanaugh who's the victim. Published September 21, 2018

Brett Kavanaugh nomination moves into bizarro male-bashing land
The Supreme Court nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh has moved out of the field of nomination and into the bizarro field of male-bashing.

George Soros, Amazon and John Legend — the anti-Trump, anti-Kavanaugh funding ties that bind
My gosh, but the left has got itself in a tizzy. A desperate tizzy, to be more accurate. A desperate, costly tizzy that pulls out all the funding stops, to be even more accurate. The money trail is never wrong. Published September 20, 2018
Brett Kavanaugh should stay the course, stand strong
Judge Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court hearings have devolved into a cesspool of she-said, her-attorney-said accusations -- and from that, Democrats have run roughshod, demanding a postponement and wait for it, wait for it, killing of the entire nomination. Published September 19, 2018
