The SCOTUS confirmation circus has begun....
I support the majority leader and understand to a degree what he is saying. However, after having been told he needed to support an additional FBI investigation to clear his name, anything supporting the truthfulness of the nominee should be made public. Immediately.

Meanwhile, the Fascist takeover of higher ed chugs right along. 100 students at USC demand that a professor be fired for championing the presumption of innocence. Harvard retracts its invitation to Kavanaugh to teach a course next fall because of hundreds of emails from students and alumni.

I'm glad I will be retiring soon. Leftists have taken over higher ed, and are turning students into Brownshirts. Or the Red Guard. If you are not a college prof, you might think this is an exaggeration. But it is a real phenomenon, and it is gathering steam.

Universities were once bastions of critical thought and free expression. Increasingly, they are hotbeds of group think, where the message is-- as it is to this USC prof and Kavanaugh-- STFU!

One further thought. Journalism in America has been completely discredited, exposed as nothing but-- as President Trump said yesterday-- an extension of the Democrat Party. This will be the fate of higher ed as well. It will be completely discredited and, like the media, exposed as a propaganda arm of the Democrat Party. This is most especially true of all the "studies" departments: African American Studies, Gender Studies, Women's Studies, Queer Studies....

One more-- just from today-- on this topic. DePauw University makes graduation benefits contingent on attending left-wing indoctrination lectures.

https://www.breitbart.com/tech...ctrination-lectures/

From the article: "DePauw University is forcing its students to attend left-leaning sessions with topics including “white fragility” and “constructions of masculinity” in order to retain “Gold Commitment” status, which provides free classes and career opportunities for graduates."

So the front door counseling ruse was a lie.

All the people she named said it never happened.

She doesn't know how she got to the party,how she left or where it happened.

They have given the so called therapy notes to the democrats but refuse the republicans access to them.

Ford is not really a psychologist,and she loves to fly.

Maybe the Democrats need a few more months to figure this out.

Maybe Americans in blue states need to vote in smarter representation.

Other documents, including health care-provider registration records, reveal that a marriage counselor listed Ford’s home address as her place of employment, ostensibly using the extra room and door for her clinical practice. That marriage therapist, Sylvia Adkins Randall, sold the home to the Fords in 2007, but continued to maintain the address for her business.


Anyone else interested in what the state and federal tax returns look like for the illustrious Dr Blasey? Anyone want to bet there is no extra income claimed?

No, but if you want some help handling your side of the spread, let me know.

I think most people don't realize exactly what the real estate market is like in that particular neighborhood - or appreciate how high taxes are in California.

The F.B.I. is expected to complete its investigation into allegations of sexual assault against Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh and deliver the results to the Senate as early as Wednesday, and Republican leaders said Tuesday that they expect to vote on the nomination this week

Once the investigation is completed, the F.B.I. will send reports about its interviews to the Senate, where members will have a chance to review them. Several Republicans — including Senator John Cornyn of Texas, the No. 2 Republican — said Tuesday that they would like to see the findings made public in some form.

“People are not going to be satisfied until some public statement about what the F.B.I. supplemental background investigation shows,” Mr. Cornyn said.

Been staring at this stuff for a few days. Couldn't understand it. Paul Sperry made some sense out of it.

If you look at the property on Google Earth at the address shown in the post earlier, as Ford’s home, it isn’t look like what one thinks of as the home of a college professor psychologist.




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Dr. Ford as I have read here is not licensed in California and cannot practice is a psychologist so what was the room and extra door for? The university changed here entry in the hand book and listing.

According to Ford she's had tons of people from Google come and go through her door - so, unless she happens to have tons of friends who work for Google, it's likely to be an unregistered rental property.

I found it strange that she said she was staying with her parents over the last few months too.

This ltr is from Ford's lawyers to FBI Director

Keep in mind, Bromwich was once DoJ IG

Sen Graham gave a list of people that they wanted the FBI to talk to. The list did not include Ford.

^^^ Why would the FBI want to question Ford? Or Kavanaugh? They already said everything, previously, in the open. Oh, Ford just happened to remember more details. I see. Roll Eyes

Yeah the attention whores are mad.

Of course Ms Ford gave testimony already, under oath. So they may not really have many questions for her.

Or maybe they are gathering a bunch of information in order to questions her.

Regardless, those lawyer fucks of hers can fuck the hell off.

Wonder why they cc'd Rosenstein but not Sessions? Or any members of the judiciary comittee?

As far as interviewing Ford or Kavanaugh, they have six previous interviews with Kavanaugh and if they have any brains they know that from watching Ford testify she is not credible anyway.

The letter from Ford's attorney is one of two things:

They are scared shitless that the FBI is going to find evidence she lied and they desperately want to both direct them where to look and know where they are looking.

Feinstein is up their ass to insert new "evidence" by introducing corroborating "witnesses".

Or "C", all of the above.
