In case we never hear more about Monica McLean, here is a summary of the known circumstances We never heard McLean’s name before yesterday A man who claims to be an old Ford boyfriend says he saw Ford prepare Monica McLean for a polygraph for a job w the FBI or DoJ McLean went to work at the FBI in 1992. She almost certainly took a polygraph Mclean worked for the FBI from 1992 to 2016 McLean’s residence is in Rehoboth Beach, DE Ford’s father owns a property in Rehoboth that is 2 miles from McLean’s house. Ford testified she wrote the Feinstein letter while she was at Rehoboth. At this point anything else is conjecture | |||

In all of this, do not lose sight of what Graham pointed out. Power. To the folks that turn the discussion to the importance of bringing the power of senators and representatives of We the People... back to what the founders established, my utmost thanks and gratitude. To those who do not, get with the program. Talk to the lazy, that do not get involved, but are aware of the danger. And talk to those who are simply go along to get along and don't care. Often times people don't care and don't get involved because that do not understand the stakes. There is a lot of opportunity to reach a number of people that can make a difference. The leftest did not get where they are because the are correct, only because the other side has done nothing and allowed it to grow. The leftest movement is akin to Kudzu, invasive, and unopposed will take over, choke out and kill. The have the hold, because it was allowed. And Red Arizona needs to bring hellfire down on Flake. He has no "hero" status to stand upon. You guys/gals need another Goldwater. Find one, get him or her in power. And after this SCOTUS seat is filled, we need to demand that all of this crap be completely and thoroughly investigated for any an all laws that were violated. It's time we begin a mission to eradicate all the vermin, everywhere. Real repercussions and consequences for the illegal actions and activities. It is no different than Mob rule.

I would like to see someone ask Sen. Hirono, Feinstein, Blumenthal, Flake and others directly: "Do you believe Keith Ellison's accuser, his former girlfriend? She says that he subjected her to physical and emotional abuse. Do you believe her?" And then, when they start to get hemming and hawing, repeat, clearly and forcefully, "Do you believe this female victim? Aren't we supposed to always believe the victimized woman? Is Ellison fit for political office if his girlfriend says that he beat her?" ______________________________________________________ "You get much farther with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone." | |||

I just sent Amy Klobuchar a email asking exactly that question. Awaiting a response. I will get a canned response that will be a bunch of non committal drivel I'm sure and my email will get beset with democrat campaign solicitations.

AZ has not been "red" for some time. Barry Goldwater is turning over in his grave seeing the movement left with McCain and Flake. It's turned a bright shade of purple with all the out of the state people moving here from the east/west coasts and bringing their progressive ideas with them. With the next election we have a candidate running for the Senate (Sinema) who is a died in the wool socialist and anti Trump protester. But she claims she's an 'independent'. She's running against a Trump supporter and former veteran (McSally). The polls (I don't believe in them) show both are in a dead heat right now. In other words, scary close. We also have a very liberal candidate (Garcia) running for governor who wants to remove the AZ National Guard from the border, defund the Border Strike Force established by our current conservative governor (Ducey), have 'no wall' on our border, and says that everyone should pay more taxes so illegals can get in state tuition. The former mayor of Phoenix (Stanton) is running for congress as well. He's an established liberal having spent Phoenix budget surpluses on his pet projects. AZ has three regional sanctuary cities, (Tucson, Phoenix and Flagstaff), all state university cities. AZ issues medical marijuana cards like Halloween treats. Recreational dope is in the wind and our future, a movement being pushed by the University of Phoenix founder (Sperling).This message has been edited.

She's under a lot of pressure.... From today's WSJ: Kavanaugh Vote to Test Sen. Lisa Murkowski’s Independent Streak Alaska senator has called the volume of constituent feedback on the Supreme Court nomination unprecedented Oct. 3, 2018 11:54 a.m. ET ANCHORAGE— The nomination fight over Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh is testing the independent streaks of several moderate senators, including Alaska’s Lisa Murkowski whose extraordinary, write-in re-election victory eight years ago has left her less shackled to the party hierarchy. Ms. Murkowski this week dismissed demands to act quickly on the nomination. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) has said that he plans to vote this week, nearly in tandem with the expected release of a Federal Bureau of Investigation probe into allegations of sexual assault and misconduct leveled against the nominee. “He talked about a vote last week, too,” Ms. Murkowski said. To prevail, Mr. McConnell can lose only one Republican if all Democrats oppose the nominee, who has denied the allegations against him. Three Republicans are undecided: Ms. Murkowski as well as Sens. Jeff Flake of Arizona and Susan Collins of Maine. While Ms. Collins and Mr. Flake have been in the spotlight, particularly because of his decision to broker a Judiciary Committee deal to allow time for the FBI probe, Ms. Murkowski has been able to minimize attention in Washington. In an interview Tuesday with Alaska Public Media, Ms. Murkowski called the volume of constituent feedback unprecedented. “All of the voice-mail boxes are literally filled within the first hour,” she said. “We’ve hired additional staff to do nothing more than sort through the volume of calls that have come in overnight.” Her final decision on the nomination is complicated because it touches many forces that animate her politics. Ms. Murkowski, 61, has a history of prioritizing women’s causes, and polls show a sharp gender gap in which a plurality of women oppose Judge Kavanaugh while men support him. But as one of the last remaining swing votes, she also uses her power cautiously, tending to break with her party only to help Alaska. That was the case when she voted against a GOP attempt to repeal the Affordable Care Act partly because of threatened Medicaid cuts and against school-choice advocate Betsy DeVos to run the Education Department because of threats to rural public-school budgets. The Republican senator stayed with the herd when the GOP last year drove through a sweeping, $1.5 trillion tax cut. “Lisa is on this kind of teeter-totter,” said Ivan Moore, an Anchorage polling expert. “Whenever it totters too much to one side, she throws some red meat to the other side.” In Alaska, the battle for her vote is becoming pitched. On the left, her office has been barraged with emails, letters and calls from unions, tribes, women’s groups and others opposing Judge Kavanaugh’s confirmation on multiple grounds. This week, about 100 women representing the groups were scheduled to make the 3,400-mile flight to Washington to register their views in person. McConnell Is the Man in the Middle of the Kavanaugh Fight McConnell Is the Man in the Middle of the Kavanaugh Fight As Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell pushes to confirm Judge Brett Kavanaugh, he’s coming up against some obstacles. The WSJ's Gerald F. Seib explains. Photo: Getty “She voted the right way on health care and we want to make sure she does so again,” said Kim Hays, deputy political director for the Alaska AFL-CIO, which opposes Judge Kavanaugh partly on the basis of past rulings in which the group says he often sided with employers over workers. Meanwhile, 39 leaders of the Alaska Republican Party signed a letter to Ms. Murkowski asking that she vote in favor of the judge at a meeting last month in Wasilla, hometown of perhaps the state’s most famous Republican: former governor and presidential running mate Sarah Palin. “I will be sorely disappointed if she doesn’t, and shocked,” said Tuckerman Babcock, chairman of the state party. The push-and-pull has given Ms. Murkowski leverage. She owes little to the GOP establishment; she was left for dead in her 2010 race, when she lost a Republican primary but mounted a successful write-in campaign with the help of traditional Democratic constituencies like women and Alaska Natives. “It was an unusual coalition for a Republican,” said Democrat Mark Begich, at the time Alaska’s other senator. A survey completed on Sept. 25 by Mr. Moore’s Alaska Survey Research found she has a higher approval rating among Democrats than Republicans, in large part because she is a centrist Republican in a state party dominated by conservatives. Mr. Moore’s survey of likely Alaska voters found 46.5% of them would like for Ms. Murkowski to vote yes on Judge Kavanaugh while 43.4% said no and 10% were undecided. So far, Ms. Murkowski’s influence has been most visible in her decision to join Sens. Flake and Collins to insist on a supplemental FBI investigation into sexual-assault allegations raised by research psychologist Christine Blasey Ford. Dr. Ford said Judge Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when they were teenagers and he was drunk. He has denied the allegation. Ms. Murkowski has at times put the party on notice that she will stand on principle. In 2014, she and a handful of centrists refrained from voting yes on a measure to suspend the debt ceiling because it wasn’t clear that GOP leaders, such as Mr. McConnell, would take the same political risk. The GOP leaders acquiesced and voted yes when she did. Julie Kitka, president of the politically powerful Alaska Federation of Natives, said her group has let the senator know it is steadfastly opposed to Judge Kavanaugh sitting on the high court, in large part because of past writings and rulings that she said suggest he is willing to undercut tribal rights and needs. “At this point, I cannot tell you how she is going to vote,” Ms. Kitka said. “But I do truly believe she will be weighing all this and doing it in a deliberate manner. It’s not an enviable position for her to be in.” https://www.wsj.com/articles/k...nt-streak-1538582092 "Some things are apparent.

The only relevant sentence in this entire article. It absolutely disgusts me where we are as a country right now. Right and wrong, innocent and guilty, mean little to nothing anymore, especially where it matters most. Everything now is nothing more than a political calculation for the most corrupt and unethical among us to hold onto power. I loathe the current crop of Dem's infesting Washington right now. But I have a special kind of contempt and loathing for this RINO filth that is complicit with the Dem's in destroying this country. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom.

“Christine Ford's high school friend, Leland Keyser, was 'completely blindsided' and left 'reeling' when the woman accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of attempted rape named her as a corroborating witness. Speaking exclusively to DailyMailTV a family member close to Keyser, 52, said: 'Christine didn't give her so much as a heads up - as far as I know they haven't really spoken for several years and they're certainly not close anymore. 'Leland was completely blindsided by her name being thrown into it all. The first thing she knew about it was when she woke up on Thursday morning and her name was just everywhere. It was crazy.' …” https://dailym.ai/2QtQPqk Serious about crackers | |||

Left plans to impeach Kavanaugh after they take charge of House with Jerry Nadler as chair of House Judiciary Committee. They know they can’t have him removed but plan to make his life so miserable and create such a crisis in SCOTUS that he will be “forced” to resign. Total war.

My brother and I talked about this yesterday. He was a white-collar crime investigator, specifically with respect to fraud and embezzlement, internal and external, in the insurance field. Over his career, he had a lot of training in interviewing suspects, including an extended stay at Quantico for training. He said that Judge Kavanaugh reacted in the proper manner for an innocent man. Dems, like Booker, have pointed to his angry, emotional, response as some sort of disqualifier for the Supreme Court. He said, that the improper response would have been passive denial; that would have been an indication of lying. _______________________________________________________ despite them | |||

And if you saw, that sociopath Christine Ford also tried to insinuate that there was something wrong with her the way she said "I'm glad she's trying to get help". What was that supposed to mean? | |||

'If' that's true, then the Dem's are in an even weaker position than I thought they were. Nadler is a nitwit of almost unimaginable stature. Something tells me the Dem's will be like a cat following a laser pointer really soon (and all but forget about Kavanaugh) when Ruth Buzzy kicks and President Trump puts up another Conservative judge for the court. The chaos and meltdown at that point should be epic. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom. Every man should have several guns.

He responded a lot more calmly than 99% of american males. You attack a man and his family, to the point that threats are being made against his family, the gloves come off. To booker: hey spartacus wheres the 100 million facebook gave you as mayor? Are you stepping down for your self admitted sexual assault? Etc. Same kind of response to blumenthal and feinstein. None of this "my honored colleague" crap. Kavanaugh seems to have an extreme tolerance for BS. | |||

It's fun to watch the stupid Democrats "pinball" all over the place (to use a Christine Ford term) trying to find something, anything to burn Kavanaugh with:
I don't think they quite comprehend the can of WHOOP-ASS they've opened to be served to them on 11/6 for this asshattery! | |||
