Kavanaugh: what next? (Updated)

Posted on by

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.

Flake agreed to send Kavanaugh’s nomination to the full Senate, but would not support a floor vote for Kavanaugh without allowing the investigation to happen. With Flake’s help, the Senate Judiciary Committee voted along party lines 11-10 to send Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Senate as a whole.

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.

There was this from the WashingtonTimes.com:

Trump orders FBI to probe Supreme Court nominee

by Stephen Dinan

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.

This is interesting, from CNSNews.com:

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.

I was apparently prescient because the FBI investigation has been expanded to include the Deborah Ramirez allegations. Just as I predicted.

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.”

That’s today. There’s always tomorrow.

Open season on GOP, Conservatives, Trump

Posted on by

After all, the former US Attorney General whilst in office, Loretta Lynch, said that blood had to be spilled.

And so it was on Wednesday, June 14th, when a man who quite publicly, vocally and vehemently said “it’s time to destroy Trump & Co.” decided to spill blood.

Filled with the vigor of the Righteous Left and emboldened by recent overt acts and displays of violence against Conservatives, Trump and the GOP, a man decided he was going to kill as many Republicans as possible on a baseball field.

From the LATimes.com:

House majority whip, several others, shot at congressional baseball practice

by David Laufer and Michael Memoli

House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) was shot at a Republican congressional baseball practice Wednesday morning by a gunman who appeared to have targeted members of Congress.

Police in Alexandria, Va., located just outside of Washington, D.C., said they were investigating a “multiple shooting” and a suspect was in custody. Five wounded people were being taken to area hospitals for treatment, the police said.

Two police officers and two or three congressional staff members were among the wounded, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky said on CNN.

The shooter “was going after elected officials,” Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) told CNN from the scene of the shooting.  The location of the congressional practice session, in preparation for an annual charity baseball game, was well known in the area, he noted.

Senator Jeff Flake from Arizona, present at the time of the shooting, had this description.

Scalise, 51, the third-ranking Republican in the House, was standing on second base, fielding balls during batting practice when the shooting began, Flake said.

Reuters writes today about the condition, today, of Steve Scalise.

U.S. congressman undergoes another operation after shooting

by Susan Cornwell and David Morgan

U.S. Representative Steve Scalise underwent a third operation on Thursday, a day after suffering serious wounds when a man who had expressed anger toward President Donald Trump opened fire on Republican lawmakers at a baseball practice, a source familiar with his condition said.

Scalise, a congressman from Louisiana who is the No. 3 House Republican, suffered injuries to internal organs, broken bones and severe bleeding after being shot in the left hip on a baseball field in Alexandria where he and other lawmakers were practicing for a charity baseball game.

Scalise, 51, and three others were wounded when a man identified as James Hodgkinson, 66, from the St. Louis suburb of Belleville, Illinois opened fire on the lawmakers. The others wounded were a police officer, a congressional aide and a lobbyist.

The U.S. Capitol Police said Hodgkinson used a 9 mm handgun and a 7.62-caliber rifle in the shooting, and traces run by investigators showed he evidently acquired the weapons legally.

“Both were purchased by the shooter from federal firearms licensees,” the Capitol Police said in a statement. “We currently have no evidence to suggest that the purchases were not lawful.”

Hodgkinson, who had a history of posting angry messages against Trump and other Republicans on social media, died after being wounded by police.

We also find this about the shooter, from Breitbart.com:

Report: James T. Hodgkinson, Shooting Suspect, Belonged to ‘Terminate the Republican Party’ Facebook Group

by Joel B. Pollak

James T. Hodgkinson, the suspect in the shooting attack on a Republican baseball practice on Wednesday morning, was reportedly a member of a group called “Terminate the Republican Party.”

Hodgkinson wounded four, including House Majority Whip Steve Scales (R-LA), before succumbing to his injuries sustained in gunfire exchanges with police.

The Belleville News-Democrat, a newspaper in Hodgkinson’s former hometown of Belleville, Illinois, reports:

 The shooter who was killed during gunfire at practice for a congressional baseball game Wednesday morning was from Belleville.

The shooter was James T. Hodgkinson of Belleville, who belonged to a number of anti-Republican groups, including one called “Terminate the Republican Party.”

The Facebook group reportedly celebrated the killing.

This should, in retrospect, come as no shock to those persons who are thinking clearly and have been cognizant of their surroundings for roughly the past year. That is to say, political violence has quite primarily been the result of Leftist elements, both organized en masse and singly such as this event.

The response on the Left has consisted of the same old: stop guns stop guns too many guns. Then came the wildly-inflated statistics, from Virginia Governor Terry Macauliffe.

Terry McAuliffe: ‘We Lose 93 Million Americans a Day to Gun Violence’

by AWR Hawkins

While speaking to reporters about the shooting in Alexandria, Virginia, Governor Terry McAuliffe (D) said now is not the time to talk gun control but we must admit “we lose 93 million Americans a day to gun violence.”

Then there was this loving, tolerant and caring response on Twitter by the Huffington Post’s Jesse Benn directly following the shooting. From GotNews.com:

BREAKING: @HuffPost Contributor @JesseBenn Endorses Shooting of House Majority Whip @SteveScalise

by Charles C. Johnson

A Huffington Post contributor endorsed the severe wounding of House Majority Whip Steve Scalise at the hands of radicalized, Rachel Maddow-loving, Bernie Sanders-supporting shooter, James T. Hodgkinson.

There was also this, an email sent to Republican Claudia Tenney directly after the shooting of Scalise, from TheHill.com:

GOP rep. received threatening email with subject line ‘One down, 216 to go…’ after lawmaker shooting

by Olivia Beavers

The office of Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-N.Y.) received a threatening email with the subject line “One down, 216 to go…,” shortly after a shooter opened fire on GOP lawmakers who were at a congressional baseball practice, according to her office.

“Did you NOT expect this? When you take away ordinary peoples very lives in order to pay off the wealthiest among us, your own lives are forfeit. Certainly, your souls and morality were lost long before. Good riddance,” the email said.

Let us remember that Demorats have already called for violence and “blood in the streets.”

MIKA BRZEZINSKI, CO-HOST “MORNING JOE”:

 

“So, broad question about the future of the Democratic Party, especially given your firsthand experience with what we’ve all been through. There’s so much going on here that we clearly see, you know, places where you — we can criticize what the administration is doing, but how does the party rebuild? How do you prevent overreach in a situation like this? How do you prevent a continuation of the bubble in a situation like this, and how does the party reclaim its reach across the country while fighting these battles?”

SEN. TIM KAINE (D-VA):

“…So, the way we get outside the bubble is we take advantage of this tremendous public outcry against the administration. What we’ve got to do is fight in Congress, fight in the courts, fight in the streets, fight online, fight at the ballot box, and now there’s the momentum to be able to do this. And we’re not afraid of the popular outcry, we’re energized by it and that’s going to help us do our job and do it better.”

What we’ve got to do is fight in Congress, fight in the courts, fight in the streets, fight online, fight at the ballot box, and now there’s the momentum to be able to do this. And we’re not afraid of the popular outcry, we’re energized by it and that’s going to help us do our job and do it better.

In reference to that, the DailyKos wrote: “VA-Sen: Tim Kaine (D) Calls For “Fight In The Streets” Against Trump, So Lets Push Him To Fight”.

What about the calm, enlightened, cooperative, unifying and tolerant speech of DNC Chair Tom Perez?

There are, naturally, following threats to the families of Republicans, from Politico.com:

‘This is how we’re going to kill your wife’

Police blanket a town hall by GOP Rep. Tom Garrett after a series of ‘credible’ threats.

by Kyle Cheney

MONETA, Va. — “This is how we’re going to kill your wife.”

That’s the message Rep. Tom Garrett (R-Va.) said he received in a series of recent threats that targeted him, his family and even, at one point, his dog. And it’s the reason, he said, that his town hall here in this sleepy Virginia community on Tuesday night was ringed by law enforcement.

When Garrett took the stage at Eastlake Community Church, the walls in the 300-seat room were lined with security — some uniformed and some in plainclothes. The presence was noticeable all night, as Garrett aides enforced rules to keep audience members from disrupting the event.

Though the town hall proceeded without significant incident — one woman was removed by police for repeated disruptions — security personnel made their presence felt, approaching hecklers throughout the evening and standing watch at all entrances and exits. The high security presence, Garrett said later, was the result of threats that Capitol Police, state police and intelligence officials “have deemed to be credible and real.”

This is not just an emerging trend, it is a pattern, as recognized by Newt Gingrich.

Tucker Carlson speaks to Mark Steyn regarding the violence and hate/labeling rhetoric of the Leftists.

Concurrently, this is the most cogent and logical thing I’ve heard issue from Paul Ryan’s mouth in close to a year.

Will Ryan come to understand how his prior pablum, conciliatory, bipartisan and compromising speech has led to this current state? Unlikely. The GOP gives, the Demorats take and spew venom and violence.

Completely unreasonable speech from the Left also accompanies this blather, from Breitbart.com:

Rep. Barbara Lee: ‘I Don’t Agree with States’ Rights’ Because Trump Does

by Penny Starr

Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA) said on Tuesday that she does not agree with states’ rights because President Donald Trump believes in restoring states’ authority on a wide range of issues, including education and health care insurance markets.

Lee made the remarks at the left-wing Center for American Progress in Washington, DC, where she referenced states rights as it applies to Trump’s decision this month to withdraw the United States from the Paris climate change agreement, a move she claims would hurt the U.S. economy.

No states rights. Simply to be a contrarian no matter the idiocy or illegality.

You know, call me wacky, but this discourse from the Left appears to clearly contain violent language to me. And not just from the Political Left. From the so-called “Celebrity Left” as well. Let’s examine this issue. Let’s look at some examples.

1. Shakespeare in the Park Stabs ‘Trump’ to Death in Performance of ‘Julius Caesar’
New York City’s Public Theater staged a production of Julius Caesar during its 2017 summer program, but with a twist on the classic play — Caesar looked just like Donald Trump, with a business suit and tie and a familiar blond hair-do. As happens in the play, the Trump-like Caesar is eventually brutally stabbed to death by his associates in the Senate.

The character’s similarity to Trump sparked outrage, and sponsors Bank of America and Delta Air Lines pulled their funding from the theater.

2. Kathy Griffin Holds President Trump’s Severed Head
Please check my post here about that event, where I covered the issue in massive detail.

3. Robert De Niro: “I’d Like to Punch Him in the Face”
The Oscar-winning actor participated in a voter registration PSA during the 2016 presidential race, but was filmed going off on Trump in a monologue during an outtake.

“He’s a punk, he’s a dog, he’s a pig, he’s a con, he’s a bullshit artist, a mutt who doesn’t know what he’s talking about, doesn’t do his homework, doesn’t care, thinks he’s gaming society, doesn’t pay his taxes,” the 73-year-old Godfather star said in the clip.

“He’s an embarrassment to this country,” he added. “He talks [about] how he wants to punch people in the face. I’d like to punch him in the face.”

4. David Simon: “Pick Up a Goddamn Brick” if Trump Fires Robert Mueller
The creator of the HBO crime drama The Wire reacted to rumors that the president had considered firing the special counsel appointed to oversee the Russia investigation, Robert Mueller, by suggesting that Americans “pick up a goddamn brick” if the president followed through.

“If Donald Trump fires Robert Mueller and is allowed to do so, pick up a goddamn brick. That’s all that’s left to you,” Simon tweeted June 12.

The writer-producer later denied his tweet was an incitement to violence.

5. Joss Whedon: “I Want a Rhino to Fuck Paul Ryan to Death”
Bit of an oxymoron, that one. The 52-year-old Avengers director — who released a star-studded PSA in support of Hillary Clinton during the 2016 race — took to Twitter in January to wish an untimely and unfortunate end to House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI).

“Violence solves nothing. I want a rhino to fuck @SpeakerRyan to death with its horn because it’s FUNNY, not because he’s a #GOPmurderbro,” Whedon tweeted.

Shortly after the November 8 election, the director tweeted that Trump “CANNOT be allowed a term in office.”

I could go on and on and on with comments made by Cher, Micky Rourke, Lea DeLaria, rappers Snoop Dog, Everlast and YG, Marilyn Manson, Larry Wilmore, Stephen Colbert, Sarah Silverman, Ashley Judd, Madonna, et al.

Then there’s everyone else, as I illustrated in detail via my November 12th blog post wherein Leftists of all stripes were openly calling for Trump’s assassination on social media.

An interesting point about that post. Persons have asked me, “BZ, why not just copy those Tweets and paste them into your article instead of making photos of each one?” Easy answer: because I’ve had many, many Tweets disappear into the ozone. When I make a JPEG out of a Tweet, they are immured forever.

Paul Joseph Watson makes a nice overall summary here.

The Left makes hyperbolic attacks because they cannot win on fact-based issues. Leftists “do not want to hear thoughtful disagreement.” They do not wish to hear any disagreement at all.

This just in, from Fox59.com:

Several shots fired at truck flying ‘Make America Great Again’ flag on I-465

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Indiana State Police say shots were fired at a truck carrying a “Make America Great Again” flag and an American flag on eastbound I-465 Tuesday.

Officers believe the shots were fired from a newer white 4-door Chevrolet Malibu with a Louisiana plate near Emerson Avenue around 4 p.m.

The victim and a witness informed police that the Malibu pulled up next to the pickup truck, a passenger held a handgun out of the window and then a male fired several shots.

I am afraid, folks, that this is just the beginning.

People are talking about some sort of civil war. I’d rather call it a societal insurrection, societal chaos because, at this point, I have no idea what form it will take.

But it is coming. And it will be unpleasant.

“I AM PUSHBACK.”

BZ
