Fake News, according to Snopes: Kavanaugh’s Mother Presided Over Action In Foreclosure Proceedings On Accuser’s Parents’ Home

Posted on Monday, this apparently appears to be untrue.  Did Judge Martha Kavanaugh ‘Rule Against’ the Parents of Her Son’s Accuser, Christine Blasey-Ford?

DEMS CLAIM KAVANAUGH LIED UNDER OATH YEARS AGO. WAPO FACT CHECKS IT FALSE  “ 'Durbin’s statement that there’s new evidence that Kavanaugh misled the Judiciary Committee … is worth Two Pinocchios,” WaPo determined." . . .

The post in dispute:
Daily Caller  "Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s mother, a state court judge in Maryland, briefly presided over the foreclosure of a property owned by the parents of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, the California researcher who accused the Supreme Court nominee of sexual assault.

"A Daily Caller News Foundation investigation shows Judge Martha Kavanaugh was connected to a foreclosure action implicating the Blaseys, but her involvement was minimal and never resulted in seizure of the property at issue.

Flake's revenge? Trump antagonist holds power over Supreme Court pick

Politico

"Trump drove the Arizona senator into retirement with his blistering criticism. Now the fate of the president's high court nominee may be in Flake's hands. 

"Jeff Flake once said Donald Trump didn’t deserve to win the presidency. He later wrote the book, literally, on why Trump is destroying the GOP. 

"Now Flake holds the keys to a Supreme Court confirmation Trump prizes dearly — and could soon yank them away. 

"Flake flashed a yellow light Sunday night on Brett Kavanaugh’s high court bid, telling POLITICO that he won't support advancing the nomination this week if fellow senators don’t do more to hear out a woman accusing the nominee of sexual assault more than three decades ago. Opposition from the Arizona Republican wouldn’t doom Kavanaugh outright, but it already has ratcheted up political pressure on a GOP struggling to keep Trump’s Supreme Court nominee from a full implosion. 

"Flake is a charter member of the GOP’s anti-Trump caucus, one of only a few senators in the president’s party who freely tee off on the president’s handling of issues from trade to Russia, though they rarely actively undercut his agenda. Another member of that caucus, Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), also called on Sunday night for a delay in the Kavanaugh confirmation process. 

"But Flake, unlike Corker, sits on the Judiciary Committee. A "no" vote from him on the narrowly divided panel would force Republicans to bring Kavanaugh to the floor with a negative recommendation, or without a committee vote at all, in order to keep the nomination on track." . . . 

In defense of Judge Kavanaugh; have Democrats no sense of shame? Even a smidgin?

Two Women Who Dated Kavanaugh Go On Record About Allegations Made Against Him, Report Says  "The Washington Post reported on Monday that two women who dated Judge Brett Kavanaugh — one in high school, the other in college — have now gone on record defending his character and how he treats women.
" 'Brett Kavanaugh and I have been good friends since high school," said Maura Fitzgerald, who dated Kavanaugh in college. "I dated him in college and he was and is nothing like the person who has been described. He always conducted himself honorably with me at all times when we were together. He was always a perfect gentleman, and I vouch for him completely.”
" 'I’ve been friends with Brett Kavanaugh for over 35 years, and dated him during high school," said Maura Kane, another woman Kavanaugh dated. "In every situation where we were together he was always respectful, kind and thoughtful. The accusations leveled against him in no way represent the decent young man I knew. We remain good friends and I admire him as a husband, father and professional.' " . . .

Judge's Accuser’s Story Has Already Changed, Multiple Times


Christine Blasey Ford's Collateral Damage 

"Trust a "psychologist" to wreak havoc with someone else's family.
"When Christine Blasey Ford finally surfaced her over three decades-old claim of sexual assault by Brett Kavanaugh, when they were both teenagers, did she consider for a moment the effect of her accusation on Kavanaugh's daughters, already escorted from the hearing room after witnessing their father being endlessly attacked by maniacs in the audience, not to mention Kavanaugh's wife?
"And how about the dozen girls the judge used to coach who came to the hearing? 
"Originally thrilled to be so honored, how do you think they and their families now feel?

“It’s awesome to have them all here,” Kavanaugh said, introducing them. “They are tough as nails,” he continued. 

" Not any more,  I'll wager.  Extremely unhappy and very confused is more like it. Indeed Ford has contributed to these young ladies having a view of men that is paranoid and mistrustful from here on out.

"They are collateral damage, scarred on one level or another for life, just as Ford insists she was." . . .

Kavanaugh Speaking With Committee Staffers Tonight, Dems Refuse To Participate

Feinstein: On top of her McCarthyite smear of Judge Kavanaugh, she’s closely tied to both Chinese and Russian operations in the United States.

BREAKING: Feinstein Refuses To Help Set Follow-Up With Kavanaugh's Accuser, Senator Says

Daily Wire "Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) said in a press statement on Monday that he has tried to coordinate a follow-up with Judge Brett Kavanaugh's accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, with Sen. Dianne Feinstein's (D-CA) office but that she has so far refused.
"Anyone who comes forward as Dr. Ford has deserves to be heard, so I will continue working on a way to hear her out in an appropriate, precedented and respectful manner," Grassley wrote.
"The standard procedure for updates to any nominee’s background investigation file is to conduct separate follow-up calls with relevant parties," Grassley continued. "In this case, that would entail phone calls with at least Judge Kavanaugh and Dr. Ford. Consistent with that practice, I asked Senator Feinstein’s office yesterday to join me in scheduling these follow-ups. Thus far, they have refused. But as a necessary step in evaluating these claims, I’ll continue working to set them up.' " . . .

The othering of Americans by Marxists

"Deplorable Dregs of Society": great name for a conservative web site!

Don Surber  "Joe Biden -- who cannot keep his hands off little girls -- just called the people who elected Donald John Trump the dregs of society. The dehumanization of millions of American citizens by the Democratic Party is part of its plan to seize power and never let it go.

"Deplorables and the dregs of society do not deserve to live, right? They do not do not deserve the same rights of citizenship.

"Consider free speech. Biden's party through its Antifa fascists have shut down conservative speakers from speaking on college campuses.

"Corporations are shutting down conservative voices online.

And entertainers are marketing President Trump's supporters as uncool. Sir Paul McCartney was the latest to jump on this bandwagon with a new tune.

"Colleges are not turning out educated people but rather conformists to socialism. Too many universities serve as re-education camps. The best part is when the indoctrinated leave campus they are saddled with debt by their government. Then they go out and push socialism, which would mean even more government.

"Colleges replaced the physical sciences and the scientific method with climate change. Anyone who questions the conclusions already drawn are heretics." . . .

6 Questions About The Sexual Assault Allegations Against Judge Brett Kavanaugh

Daily Wire  . . . "Originally, Ford contacted Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-CA), who sent Ford’s letter on to Feinstein.

"Kavanaugh has said this never happened. “I categorically and unequivocally deny this allegation. I did not do this back in high school or at any time,” he said. Judge says the same. Judge told The Weekly Standard, “I can recall a lot of rough-housing with guys. It was an all-boys school, we would rough-house with each other. I don’t remember any of that stuff going on with girls.” He strongly denied witnessing an attempted assault.

"On its face, the allegations aren’t non-credible. Ford has come forward, and she’s told a story with specifics. But serious questions remain. Here are six:" . . .

“ 'What is happening is the sloppiness of the diplomacy that is going on with Kim Jong-un, the sloppiness of his reckless statements in Europe at a time when Europe is already weakened somewhat, and it matters to us more than ever since the end of World War II. I mean, these things matter, enormously, and we’ve got to fight for them.”
"Kerry spoke about the perceived division then and now in America. of course, he spoke about himself…I, I, I:
“ 'I was arrested for civil disobedience and demonstrating against the war, so it was divisive and I certainly earned some enemies for a lifetime through that experience. And we saw some of them come to the forefront in ’04, that’s what that was about. That wasn’t about my record. It was about them being angry I opposed the war and told the truth.' ”

CNN's Tapper gives up trying to get an answer from Ocasio-Cortez on health care costs

When liberals use the word "investments", hang on your wallets.

Rick Moran  "Is the democratic socialist candidate for Congress, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, about to become the dumbest congressman in the House?  Viewing this interview with CNN's Jake Tapper regarding the $40-trillion cost of her radical left agenda, she's certainly in the running.

"An exasperated Tapper finally gave up trying to get any kind of coherent answer about how much her socialist schemes would cost the taxpayer, saying, "I'm assuming I'm not going to get an answer for that other $38 trillion."

"Here's the video of the interview.  Ocasio-Cortez doesn't appear to be dodging the question as much as she doesn't understand what Tapper is asking." . . .

. . . "Both Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders have referred to those "savings" as significant. They aren't. Tapper's question about how we pay for the other $38 trillion goes over her head.

"I'm being kind saying she's a dunce rather than a liar. In order to lie effectively, a politician must be informed enough to fashion a plausible fib. The depthlessness of her intellect should be embarrassing to her socialist colleagues but won't be because they're as stupid as she is."

I'd have preferred the word "ignorant". TD

More discussions on Judge Kavanaugh and Ford

Contact your Senator (if s/he is a Republican) and tell your Senator not to go wobbly on this one. There’s a strong likelihood that it’s a time bomb, put into place six years ago, and exploding now, sending defamatory falsehoods flying all over the place. Bookworm Room

Professor accusing Kavanaugh is radical SJW with some damning student reviews
It’s true that Bill Clinton’s liberal ‘90s apologists justified his sexual misconduct with the claim “Character doesn’t matter.” It nonetheless does, and since Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hopes are being influenced by accusations that may speak to his character, it’s only fair to examine the character of his accuser. And this woman, Palo Alto University psychology professor Christine Blasey Ford, is a radical social-justice warrior with some damning student reviews — including one from a person who wrote “I am honestly scared of her.” . . .

Replying to @MissMarple2 and 2 others

Both of my sons had her at CSF....my son who just became a Deputy Sheriff (LA County) said "She's crazy." Harped & attacked kids who argued for conservative values...both my sons withdrew from her class after two weeks...her bias was way worse than most SJW professors

. . .  "So has Kavanaugh gotten on Ford’s bad side by expressing conservative ideas? Probably. And even if her allegations are true, I very much doubt she’d have come forward had Kavanaugh stayed on her good side by being a leftist reprobate in the mold of Slick Willie or Chappaquiddick Ted Kennedy. For a good example of such situational sexual mores, note that liberal reporter Nina Burleigh actually said in 1998 about B. Clinton, “I’d be happy to give him [oral sex] just to thank him for keeping abortion legal.' ”

 Socio-Political-Journal:  Feinstein's a Disgrace! California Professor CHRISTINE FORD Claims Kavanaugh Sexually Assaulted Her'

For a Senior Senator to pull a stunt like this to promote resistance against a sitting president and wait to publish this wild accusation from a Psycho-Professor from California is hysterical. And this is the party that wants to take back the power from the American Electorate by any means possible.

Is the accusation against Kavanaugh the culmination of a set-up from 2012?

"By now you’ve all heard that Christine Blasey Ford is the woman accusing Kavanaugh of attacking her 35 years ago, a claim he strenuously and absolutely denies. Her story is a bizarre pastiche of precise details and huge memory holes. It’s also got a big lie planted right in the middle, which is Ford’s claim that she always meant to be private and only went public now because she couldn’t hide anymore.

"That’s bull crap. The moment Ford sent a letter to a Democrat pol, she knew with absolute certainty that this would be a big deal, that her name would emerge, and that she’d become the Democrats’ new darling.

"But this post is going to focus on one of the more weird things about Ford’s accusation against Kavanaugh, which is the fact her therapist’s notes date from 2012: . . ."

"That's the detail that stands out to me." . . .

Ford's portrayal of Catholic schoolboys gone wild doesn't stack up to my experience at all – nor does it stack up to the experience of the 65 women who say Kavanaugh never acted like that.  Those women I find believable.

Also from Ms. Showalter: What really is the Democrats' endgame in derailing Kavanaugh?  . . . "What is their real endgame, then?  Probably to delay, delay, delay the nomination process so that it spills over into the next term – the one where they think they will finally win the Senate." . . .

Kavanaugh Accuser Comes Forward And Claims To Have Passed A Polygraph

Maxine Waters, the New Face of the Democrat** Party

If Waters is the best the Democrats have now, they are in serious trouble. Are they incapable of finding an ethical leader who doesn’t sound unhinged? The average Democrat doesn’t want someone that nutty representing them. Waters may represent the viewpoints of Antifa and the radical left, but she is scaring away the normal people left in the party. Which is a good thing for Republicans.

Ian Macfarlane toon

Rachel Alexander  "A big part of the reason Democrats are fleeing their party in the #WalkAway movement is because of leadership like Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.). The 80-year-old lawmaker has been in office since 1991, representing large parts of south-central Los Angeles and surrounding areas. She is best known for corruption and hyperbole. In recent years, she has escalated her public appearances representing Democrats. In June, President Trump declared, “The face of the Democrats is now Maxine Waters.” 

Her notorious public life started back in 1992, when she called President H.W. Bush a racist. In 2004, an article in The Los Angeles Times revealed that Waters used her position to help companies, candidates and causes. They then turned around and did business with her family members, earning the family more than $1 million. If she had been a Republican member of Congress, she would have been prosecuted. 

"The left-leaning Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington listed Waters as one of the most corrupt members of Congress in 2005, 2006, 2009 and 2011. The House Ethics Committee accused her of at least one ethical violation in 2010 for helping a bank receive federal aid. Her husband was a stockholder and former director of the bank, and the bank’s executives were major contributors to her campaigns. The bank received $12 million in TARP funds." . . .

News Media: Maxine Waters and today's Twilight Zone episode

Silvio Canto, Jr.  "On Sunday nights, I catch the real The Twilight Zone episodes on TV.  It's a great distraction from the news and the 64-84 Rangers.

"I didn't have to watch Rod Serling this week.  I just have to read this news story about Representative Maxine Waters, AKA The Impeachment Lady!

"Check this out:

Mad Maxine Waters is a leader worthy of honor, according to the National Newspaper Publishers Association.

The group honored the California congresswoman with a "National Leadership Award" on Friday, according to Diversity Inc.

During her acceptance, Waters denounced President Trump, prompting applause from the audience of media leaders.

"This is embarrassing, especially the part about the audience of media people breaking into applause.

"It's further embarrassing because Representative Waters has not shown signs of leadership.  On the contrary, she is a partisan demagogue telling people what they want to hear.

"It would be leadership if Waters would make responsible statements, such as pushing back on reckless talk of impeachment or saying something responsible about black-on-black crime.

"Shame on these journalists.  No need to take a secret poll to see whom these journalists voted for in 2016."
