The Senate Judiciary Committee is currently comprised of 11 Republicans and 10 Demorats. On Friday the 28th Judge Brett Kavanaugh passed this committee and will move to the Senate itself.
With one major caveat. Republican Senator Jeff Flake — yes, we knew that we had a Republican Judas/Brutus within the committee — demanded that there must be a week-long delay in order for the FBI to conduct “an investigation” of Kavanaugh before Flake’s affirmative vote could be acquired. That was his “thirty pieces of silver” and his dagger.
A hostage situation if you will, because six prior independent FBI investigations into Kavanaugh’s background were plainly insufficient.
The GOP Senate went along with those demands for a week’s delay. From AZCentral.com:
Sen. Jeff Flake gets Senate to seek FBI inquiry of Brett Kavanaugh sex allegations
by Ronald J Hansen
U.S. Sen. Jeff Flake sided with Senate Democrats Friday to try to force a one-week FBI investigation of the sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
The Senate Judiciary Committee asked the White House to have the FBI conduct an investigation within hours of the hearing. The requested probe “would be limited to current credible allegations against the nominee and must be completed no later than one week from today,” the committee noted.
Flake, an Arizona Republican, had indicated earlier in the day his support for the judge, but pushed the nomination in a new direction after meeting privately at length with U.S. Sen. Chris Coons, D-Delaware, who is a member of the committee and a close personal friend.
In immediate response I wrote on Facebook:
Continuing in the fine tradition of John McCain by shitting on the GOP bed, Senator Jeff Flake — a lame duck who realizes he cannot possibly be held responsible for any of his actions — has decided to hold up a Senate floor vote on Kavanaugh. Why, do you suppose? Because he despises President Trump. Facts in evidence.
GOP pushed Kavanaugh through committee but agrees to weeklong pause
President Trump ordered the FBI on Friday to reopen the background check into Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, giving investigators time to to make sense of sexual assault allegations that have been lodged.
Mr. Trump insisted the new review be “limited in scope and completed in less than one week.”
He made the move in response to Senate Republicans, who after powering Judge Kavanaugh through the Judiciary Committee on a party-line vote earlier in the day said they would take extra steps to try to dispel the cloud that has arisen around the nominee.
Senate Demorats got their way with the able assistance of Republican Senator Jeff Flake. But not before admitted juvenile female breast-groper — who wrote about the situation in college — Corey Booker (see my post here) decided to act again like a child and exit the Senate Judiciary Committee room in a puerile tantrum along with Richard Blumenthal, Kamala Harris, Mazie Hirono and Sheldon Whitehouse.
J’accuse?
Let’s be blunt. We know about the molesting Demorat Corey Booker (and Demorat Keith Ellison for that matter). Let me remind you about Demorat Richard Blumenthal, from TheHill.com:
Cotton to Blumenthal: You don’t have credibility to question Kavanaugh
by Megan Keller
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) ripped into Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) on Thursday for lying about his military service and then questioning Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s credibility.
“@SenBlumenthal lied for years about serving in Vietnam, which is all you need to know about his courage & honesty,” Cotton, who is not on the Senate Judiciary Committee, tweeted during the questioning. “Maybe he should reconsider before questioning Judge Kavanaugh’s credibility.”
Blumenthal has said he served in Vietnam, when he in fact sought at least five military deferments and eventually landed a spot in the Marine Reserve, where he was essentially guaranteed not to serve in the conflict itself, The New York Times reports.
So it would appear that Senator Blumenthal is another Stolen Valor liar. But of course you didn’t hear about that. Nor would you ever. The LDAMM conspire to keep It quiet. He serves their purposes so he must be covered and supported.
Then there is the Kamala Harris, who had an affair with the then-married black Demorat California power broker Willie Brown, 30 years her senior, so that she could herself be inserted into the California political power structure. Read this article.
Mazie Hirono is simply a buffoon who has no concept of America. And doesn’t want to. Hawaii? You deserve everything you don’t get from her. Like knowledge. Competence.
Sheldon Whitehouse is a zero who isn’t even worth mentioning. No one has heard of him. Ever. He’s as significant as my hemorrhoids and with much less seniority.
But what about that Jeff Flake guy? He was kinda sorta “in”, maybe, for giving a, perhaps, thumbs-up to Kavanaugh. Conceivably. Perchance. Or not.
Here’s what happened to Jeffie. He got a little bit of pushback from a couple of women in an elevator. Jeffie went full GOWP. Guilty Overeducated White Person.
But what do we know about these women, and what did they trumpet after this confrontation with Republican Senator Jeff Flake from Arizona? Oh, right. That they are connected with George Soros. From BigLeaguePolitcis.com:
Woman Who Confronted Flake In Elevator Runs Soros-Funded Organization
by Patrick Howley
Ana Maria Archila, one of the women who confronted Jeff Flake on the elevator at the Capitol after he said he was voting for Brett Kavanaugh, is the co-executive director for the Center for Popular Democracy and the Center for Popular Democracy Action Fund.
The Center For Popular Democracy is heavily funded by George Soros. The organization also identified Maria Gallagher to the press as the other woman confronting Flake.
Thanks for being duped into leaning far Left, Jeffie.
The Free Beacon previously reported: “George Soros is one of the largest funders to the CPD. Soros provided the CPD with $130,000 from the Foundation to Promote Open Society in 2014 and $1,164,500 in 2015. Soros provided an additional $705,000 from the Open Society Policy Center in 2016.”
With regard to Jeff Flake, how do people operating on common sense and with actual convictions respond?
They say this: “My vote gets revealed when back in the committee hearing room. Up to that point, no one is privy to my vote. Not you, not my fellow Senators. I won’t give fodder to any side pro or con until called upon. I work for my Arizona constituents. No one else.”
Instead, it was proven that Jeff Flake will fold but upon a full front assault by a fresh slice of Velveeta cheese product.
Former NYPD officer and Secret Service Agent Dan Bongino responded on Fox and Friends regarding Jeff Flake.
Here is what happened to Jeff Flake: he became, once more, nothing but a useful tool utilized by the Demorats. They couldn’t care less about him, any more than a person cares for a pair of pliers or a ball peen hammer. When Demorats praised Flake for his “bipartisanship,” that’s code for him being said useful tool.
Any time you hear a member of the LDAMM — Leftists, Demorats or American Media Maggots — utilize one or more of the words “bipartisanship,” “compromise” or “agreement” with regard to any Republican, that means they got their way and the GOP got hosed.
The other thing you must realize is that the “favor” almost never gets returned. Ever. Who, on the Demorat side, is the equivalent squish to Jeff Flake, Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins or Bob Corker? There are no more Zell Millers or Joe Liebermans. JFK himself would be summarily drop-kicked from the current Demorat party.
As President Trump indicated, the Demorats were collectively larfing their arses off behind closed doors when Flake flaked. They are certainly sadder than Republicans to see Flake leave the Senate. But Flake is leaving because he knows there’s no way in hell he’s ever getting re-elected by pulling this shite.
Let’s go another direction. What does body language tell us about Brett Kavanaugh? Is he a liar? Who’s zooming whom? Who is placed more convincingly into the “believable” category? Kavanaugh or Ford?
What about another examination? Time to read Paul Ekman and Carl Stincelli?
Some might call this despicable. But once proffered onto Front Street, all is now fair. Ford and her lawyer opened the door. I’m simply walking through the door she herself opened.
No One Has Come Forward to Back Up Ford, Not Even the Person Who Drove Her Home
by Susan Jones
(CNSNews.com) – Christine Blasey Ford, a psychologist who has been in therapy herself, told the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday that she has vivid memories of the alleged attack, but not where or exactly when it happened.
In her opening statement, Ford said, “The details that — about that night that bring me here today are the ones I will never forget. They have been seared into my memory and have haunted me episodically as an adult.”
But again, no memories of any specificity whatsoever.
Mitchell asked her, “Would it be fair to say that somebody drove you somewhere, either to the party or home from the party?”
“Correct,” Ford said.
“OK,” said Mitchell. “Has anyone come forward to say to you, ‘Hey, remember, I was the one that drove you home?'”
“No,” Ford said.
But wait. Flake wasn’t just influenced by Soros Women. He met secretly with the Demorats as documented here by McClatchy.
“This is a better process”: Promise from Feinstein, Dems helped Flake with decision
by Kate Irby
WASHINGTON – Jeff Flake got the attention for being the driving force behind delaying a Senate vote on Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court. But it was backroom talks with Democrats that gave the idea the political fuel it needed.
Flake worked with Democrats Friday to craft the latest twist, a deal prompting the FBI to launch an investigation over Christine Blasey Ford’s sexual assault allegations against Kavanaugh.
Flake and McCain: two political hacks who attached themselves like destructive remoras to the sides of swimming Republicans when, had they been honest and clear, would have declared themselves what they truly were: both Demorats.
The Senate timetable is now pushed back, as other key Republicans such as Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, aligned with Flake in calling for the investigation before they would vote to approve Kavanaugh.
The sudden deal was all due to some quiet, secretive backroom talks with Democrats, including top committee Democrat Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-California..
“In an anteroom, back hall conversation, first with Sen. Flake, then with Sen. Feinstein and then with many other senators of both parties, there was a broad agreement that this committee has been too divided and too partisan in this process,” Sen. Chris Coons, D-Delaware, told reporters.
We know enough about opened doors — which is why I also wrote this on Facebook:
Jeff Flake has single-handedly guaranteed that the Kavanaugh vote won’t occur until after the midterms — if at all. Here’s what will happen:
1) It won’t be “just a week” to conduct an FBI investigation on the Ford allegations. You have to be able to contact ALL relevant persons involved and that will be extremely difficult to do in such a limited time frame.
2) Once Demorats realize they can force an investigation of the Ford allegations, they will then:
3) Force an investigation of the Ramirez allegations, and then:
4) Force an investigation of the Swetnick allegations.
That will be WAY past the midterms. Demorats take the House or Senate on November 6th because not enough Republicans showed up at the polls? Game over.
Jeff Flake has managed to, as his final gesture, swive the entire GOP — with his ire aimed directly at President Trump.
FBI’s Kavanaugh Investigation To Include Ramirez’s Allegations
The investigation will also look into allegations made by Deborah Ramirez, who accused Kavanaugh of exposing himself to her at a party when they were students at Yale University, according to the New York Times. Kavanaugh and the White House have denied those allegations.
When the Demorats sense blood in the water, like sharks they circle and sharpen their teeth.
People are bemoaning that there is no more civility left in DC. I wouldn’t necessarily disagree but with one major caveat: the incivility is on the part of Leftist Demorats.
What happened is remarkably similar to something that recently occurred to a friend of mine, who is now getting a divorce. All was generally “well” in the marriage for some years until my friend finally realized that, well, everything was unilateral.
When my friend began to insist that things shouldn’t be quite so one-sided, a major camshaft was thrown. All was well until my friend began to stand up and point out the obvious. There was actually no equality. Not a good recipe for success. But successful only on the part of the person being constantly catered-to. It was an awakening.
The same holds true for Leftists. They’ve been accommodated for years due, mainly, to the inability of Republicans to sack up and unify. Republicans generally lack commitment and testicles. As my goateed high school and civics teacher Mr Helms said back in the 1960s: “Demorats don’t win elections; Republicans lose them.”
Absolutely prophetic.
Mark my words. Demorats will push for more time and push for an investigation of the Swetnick allegations.
Why?
Because Republicans cave so readily.
UPDATED, MONDAY OCTOBER 1st:
White House authorizes FBI to expand Kavanaugh investigation: report
by Brett Samuels
The White House has reportedly permitted the FBI to interview anyone deemed appropriate in its investigation into sexual misconduct allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
The New York Times reported on Monday that the White House gave authorization to expand the investigation from an initial limited list of witnesses, provided that the review is completed by the end of the week.
The FBI has already spoken with the four individuals it had been given permission to speak to, the newspaper reported.
The Demorats are cheering with gusto right now.
Trump on Monday did appear to leave the door open to changing his mind about his nominee depending on the FBI’s findings this week.
“Certainly if they find something, I’m going to take that into consideration,” the president said. “I have a very open mind. The person that takes that position is going to be there a very long time.”

In 2012, during a counseling session with my wife during a difficult time in our marriage, I revealed that I had been subject to an incident in high school where I was attacked by an individual who had attempted to sexually assault me. I was at a party with another friend, I’m pretty sure, and another boy had pushed me down on the bed and tried to undress me. He’d said he wanted to have sex with me but I said no. We had been drinking. While he was grabbing for my crotch and forcing himself on me, he was kissing me and attempting to put his tongue in my mouth.
It was bad enough that I had been drinking. But I’m a Mormon and having any kind of sex outside of marriage and drinking were two of the biggest things you weren’t supposed to do. Ever. I tried to push away but he put his hand over my mouth and, well, I was really drunk. I couldn’t resist and, worse, when he was trying to turn me over, I thought he was going to suffocate me. Maybe kill me. One of his friends jumped on the bed and the three of us fell to the floor. I managed to get up and go into the bathroom. Then I managed to get out of the house.
I never told anyone up to 2012 because I was frightened. And I was really embarrassed. Here I was, a young boy, a Mormon, at someone else’s house, at a party, where there was drinking. I knew I shouldn’t have been in that situation in the first place. But I was a kid; I was 15. I couldn’t have told anyone. About the drinking. About the boy trying to forcibly have sex with me. I would have been in so much trouble. And it really affected me. It affected my relationships with women to the point that, in 2012, I need counseling to keep my marriage together. This happened in Utah. I ended up going all the way to Florida to escape it. It still weighs on my mind. I had betrayed my values, my church, my family, my friends. And I was almost anally raped. I know it. The wholething was traumatic in the extreme. This was in 1982. I’m pretty sure.
Since that time, I’ve become a respected doctor. I’ve made something of myself despite what happened. I was able to get married. But now I see that boy, now a man, Sylvan Peratus, has been nominated to the US Supreme Court. He’s nothing but a reminder to me of that night. Now he’s all over the television.
It’s only fitting that the FBI investigate my claim. In fact, I demand it. I’m not exactly sure on the year. Probably 1982. Around there. Or the place. The house. Or the time. I’m not sure how I got to the party. I’m not sure how I got home. I was drunk. But I’m the victim here. I have some people who support me. Except now they’ve recanted. And I see that Peratus has a letter saying that 65 people support him. They’re all lying, obviously.
He represents everything that me, my family, my parents and my friends don’t believe in. My brother works for a law firm that supports work against Leftists, people I don’t like. I myself have worked for causes in order to ensure that Leftists don’t acquire political power of any kind. I worked against everything Obama tried to enact or pass.
Worse yet, Sylvan’s mother Hayley Peratus, while she was a judge, ruled against our family in a house foreclosure case in 1996. I never forgot that.
I wrote my local GOP representative about what happened, who then contacted one of my state’s GOP senators. I wanted to be anonymous. But now, somehow, something leaked and the media found me and so my name is out there. So is my allegation. I’ve retained an attorney and I took a polygraph back in August.
The GOP want me to testify against Peratus. My lawyer, who has worked for Judicial Watch and the ACLJ in the past, says that I simply need to be believed. I was almost anally raped. I know it. An allegation like mine is very serious and, after all, I’m thevictim here. Not Peratus.
One Democrat Senator asked me: “If Mr BZ really did not want to come forward, never intended to come forward … why did he pay for a polygraph in August, and why did he hire a lawyer in August? And who paid for it?” Senator Feinstein asked.
This is clearly prejudicial. I’m the victim here. I may testify before the Judiciary Committee. I may not. I’m not sure yet. But they’re trying to pin me down, pin my testimony down, and that’s just not fair. I’m insisting that Peratus testify before I do. If I even testify at all. But no matter what, everyone needs to know what Peratus did to me.
Everyone simply needs to believe me. I say it, so it’s true. I’m the victim here. These dates the Judiciary Committee set in order to pin me down are completely arbitrary. What’s the rush? The November election really doesn’t mean anything. I need to be heard, on my schedule and by my terms. It should be my timetable and at my convenience. I’ve had 36 years to think about it. I just need some more time.
Need I remind you? I’m the victim here.
Would I inherently be believed by the American Media Maggots?
Women are clearly stronger, more resolute, dedicated, truthful, honest and possessed of leadership abilities than men.
Until they’re not, and wish — no, demand — to be protected like delicate, wilting flowers with little will or strength.
Am I sensing something of any number of mixed messages here?
Am I saying that’s what’s good for the goose is good for the gander? Clearly not. Situationally-dependent, women are more delicate and worthy of protection than Evil Men. Women cannot defend themselves. Men can. Uh, wait. Except that the current meme is that women are inherently stronger than men and inherently more believable than men.
Wait; that’s not exactly what’s being said either. What is being said?
“I believe her because I know she’s telling the truth.” That’s a sensible as saying the earth is flat or that the sun rises in the west because I’m convinced it’s accurate. It’s also an apparent embracing of Napoleonic Law where one is guilty until proven innocent.
In other words, being placed into a position where one must prove a negative. Good luck with that. Prove that you didn’t crash into my car in 1982 and drive away.
Yes. That is how silly it’s all gotten. Silly and, more importantly, damaging. Demorats resort — because it’s the only play that seems to work any more — to identity politics once again.
As of this writing, here is what we know.
Christine Blasey Ford has indicated she will testify on Thursday.
Nolte: Every Witness Named by Kavanaugh’s Accusers Sides with Kavanaugh
by John Nolte
The two women making sexual misconduct allegations against Brett Kavanaugh claim to have witnesses, but so far, all of their witnesses back Kavanaugh’s claim that nothing happened.
It might be difficult to remember this as Democrats and the media throw around phrases like “second accuser” and “attempted sexual assault” and “exposing himself” against the Supreme Court nominee. But the facts are still the facts, and every single witness named so far by both accusers say they witnessed nothing of the sort.
A second accuser has emerged. There is a continuing problem, however. From the DailyCaller.com:
THE NEW YORK TIMES WAS UNABLE TO CORROBORATE SECOND KAVANAUGH ACCUSER’S STORY
by Amber Athey
The New York Times reported on Sunday that it was unable to corroborate the claims of a second accuser who says Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh exposed himself to her in college.
Deborah Ramirez alleges that Kavanaugh thrust his penis into her face while she was drunk at a Yale University dormitory party. The New Yorker ran with Ramirez’s allegation on Sunday despite being unable to produce any firsthand witnesses or confirm that Kavanaugh was at the party where the incident was said to have occurred.
The New York Times noted several paragraphs deep in a report that it chose not to report on Ramirez’s allegation because of a lack of corroborating evidence.
But hell, why let the lack of facts stand in the way of slaughtering Judge Kavanaugh.
NYT also noted, “The New Yorker did not confirm with other eyewitnesses that Judge Kavanaugh was at the party.”
In an interview with CBS’ “This Morning” on Monday, Jane Mayer, a co-author on The New Yorker piece, admitted that they had no firsthand witnesses who could confirm Ramirez’s account.
Let me be abundantly clear: even the New York Times wouldn’t touch the story about allegations made by the second accuser. That in and of itself bespeaks volumes. To those who are actually paying attention.
Kavanaugh: ‘I will not be intimidated into withdrawing’
by Jordain Carney
Brett Kavanaugh on Monday said he will “not be intimidated into withdrawing” from his Supreme Court nomination after a second woman came forward with a sexual misconduct allegation against him.
Kavanaugh sent a letter on Monday to Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) — the chairman and ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, respectively —saying the accusations against him are “smears, pure and simple.”
“They debase our public discourse. But they are also a threat to any man or woman who wishes to serve our country. Such grotesque and obvious character assassination—if allowed to succeed—will dissuade competent and good people of all political persuasions from service,” Kavanaugh said in the letter toGrassley and Feinstein.
“I will not be intimidated into withdrawing from this process. The coordinated effort to destroy my good name will not drive me out. The vile threats of violence against my family will not drive me out. The last-minute character assassination will not succeed,” Kavanaugh continued.
Judiciary Committee Chairman Senator Chuck Grassley has been more than accomodating to Professor Ford. But NO, she should not testify second. She should testify first. This is one of the basic precepts of the entire judicial process. One person — male or female, it doesn’t matter — doesn’t get to hijack the entire judicial system.
Here’s what I believe after having worked in law enforcement for 41 years and also as a detective for a large department in Child Abuse and sex assaults (amongst many other assignments).
All victims should be afforded the opportunity to make claims and reports.
All victims should be afforded the opportunity to be heard but not to be believed absent corroboration in some significant fashion.
Women are no more inherently truthful or believable than men.
Facts lead an investigation where it needs to go. Not a single allegation taken in isolation. But a series of facts with supporting evidence taken in totality.
Due process is primary.
It has been a chaotic panoply of errors, shenanigans, stupidity and a purposefully backstabbing derailment strategy played out in public for political purposes by Demorats. Any pretense at bipartisanship, compromise or good will has resolutely ended on the part of the Demorats. “By any means necessary” is now the slogan of the Demorat Party and they will stop at nothing until they have GOP veins between their teeth and are in total control with restored power in DC. Nothing is too low, no tactic too obscene.
Senator Mitch McConnell is correct with this Tweet on Monday:
Democrats and their allies are trying to destroy a man’s personal and professional life on the basis of unsubstantiated and uncorroborated allegations. This is a smear campaign, pure and simple…aided and abetted by members of the United States Senate.
However, the GOP is still back at “gosh, what will people think of us?”
This is for all the marbles folks.
America is on the brink of truly destructive DC governmental bedlam.
