GOP Needs Update to Democrat's UFC Cage Match Rules

It's time to update the GOP's Marquess of Queensbury Rules.

If you saw Ruth Bader Ginsburg at Brett Kavanaugh's swearing-in ceremony, you know that we may need to fill her seat in about 4 1/2 minutes. Naturally, I hope she lives to be 300 -- although parenthetically, it seems she already has.

The confirmation hearings for Kavanaugh made Robert Bork's hearings look like a day at the beach. At least liberals only lied about Bork's judicial philosophy. They didn't accuse him of being Ted Bundy. The next nomination hearing will make Kavanaugh's look like an ice cream social.

Just because it didn't work this time doesn't mean Republicans' work is done. They have to make sure this never happens again.

Democrats are already pushing the idea that Kavanaugh's confirmation was somehow illegitimate because of the shoddy FBI investigation. Liberals' beef is that the FBI neglected to interview Kavanaugh's former Yale classmates, who dispute his characterization of precisely how big a drinker he was in college.

I wouldn't say he was a belligerent drunk, but more of an obstreperous drunk.

No, no! I would say he was a mild drunk with periods of obstreperousness.

This is not the stuff of perjury prosecutions.

Of course, if true, it's HUGE. Kavanaugh's demeanor when drunk in college sounds nearly as awful as liberals' behavior when sober -- obnoxious, aggressive and argumentative. I refer you to the recent antics we've seen on Capitol Hill, as well as anywhere Ted Cruz stops in for a bite.
Since none of the FBI's latest report on Kavanaugh has leaked, the one thing we can be sure of is that the agents turned up nothing unfavorable on him. Except for a colonoscopy, I think we're done with Kavanaugh.

It's the accusers who have skirted investigation. Even Republicans have moved on. He's on the court, so who cares if Kavanaugh was falsely accused of "rape" in front of his little girls?

That's what everyone thought when the falsely accused Duke lacrosse players were proved innocent and the D.A. was disbarred. Why go after the accuser? Hasn't she suffered enough? 


Crystal Mangum was not prosecuted for falsely charging she was gang-raped. And see? No harm, no foul! She went on to live a happy and productive -- oh, wait! The next time we heard about Mangum was when she stabbed her boyfriend to death.

On reflection, it certainly seems possible that Kavanaugh accuser Julie Swetnick was not being completely, 100 percent honest in her sworn statements about repeatedly attending high school parties in the 1980s, when she was a college student, where underage girls were drugged and gang-raped.

Deborah Ramirez's three-decade-old, unsubstantiated, recovered memory of a drunken Kavanaugh exposing himself as a college freshman is the sort of charge that makes feminists laugh! (I know that from reading Gloria Steinem's explanation in The New York Times that Gov. Bill Clinton summoning a female underling to his hotel room, dropping his pants and saying, "Kiss it!" did not rise to the level of sexual harassment. He took "no" for an answer!)


Perhaps Republicans could get Steinem to explain under oath why it's acceptable for a sitting governor to do what is disqualifying for a drunk college freshman to do.

While no one would question the word of a living saint like Christine Blasey Ford, some parts of her testimony demand the clarity that can be obtained only in a formal legal proceeding -- such as her trauma-induced need for two front doors (when the second front door seems clearly attached to a rental apartment); her fear of flying (but only when it will delay a confirmation hearing); and her claim that she never helped anyone prepare for a polygraph (contradicted by her ex-live-in boyfriend); among other things.

Pretending they are the wronged ones, liberals keep yipping about Barack Obama's Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland. They believe any attack on Kavanaugh was justified after the dirty trick pulled by Republicans on Garland.
The Republicans' refusal to hold hearings on Garland has been called an "unprecedented obstruction" (MSNBC's Chris Hayes), a "violation of traditions in norms" (Hayes again), an "insult and injury" (Sen. Cory Booker) and "remarkable and unprecedented" (MSNBC's Rachel Maddow). The GOP's treatment of Garland showed their "hypocrisy on Brett Kavanaugh" (MSNBC's Ari Melber). . . . Full article

She Who Would Rule Over Us reveals how she would rule over us

Hillary Rodham Clinton, Kim Jung Un, Lee Harvey Oswald: why is it that assassins, murderers and evil dictators so often have three names? 
Have you seen what has made the Democrat idol (for whom hymns of praise and worship are sung) go viral today? She has given young Democrats permission to practice violence on her opposition. Pray that all the evil we see on TV will be at the hands of Democrats and not from the right; this nation must be made sickened by the actions of the left. 
Our culture must begin to realize evil exists in the world and it is becoming more manifest by the day. TD


Thomas Lifson: Hillary unleashes the thugs  "Unless sobriety suddenly and miraculously returns to Democrats driven insane by their unexpected loss to Donald Trump, the United States is headed for a downward spiral of political violence of the sort that has destabilized democratic regimes (Weimar Germany and Taisho Japan) and led to fascism and world war.  Only by the grace of God and the bravery of the  Capitol Police was a mass assassination of the House Republican Caucus avoided.

"That is the context in which we must understand the irresponsibility and reprehensibility of Hillary Clinton's statement to CNN's Christiane Amanpour during an interview in Britain." . . .

Isn't it past time for all virtue-signaling TV hosts to reject this woman and stop hosting her on their shows?

Hillary Clinton Calls for Incivility Against Republicans  "The most prominent Democrat in the country has, for all intents and purposes, just given a green light to every left-wing kook and violent sociopath to be uncivil to Republicans.
. . . 
"Clinton knows full well that her virtual call for violence will be met with violence in response. In fact, she's counting on it. Any response to violence by the right will be portrayed in the media as the right attacking peaceful citizens protesting fascism." . . . (Emphasis mine, TD)

Democrats Consider Becoming ‘More Ruthless’ After Losing Brett Kavanaugh Battle  . . .  "In all seriousness, how can Democrats become “more ruthless” than they have already been without resorting to violence?" . . .
Where’s the outrage over Hillary’s call for a ‘civil’ war? . . . "There you have it — a declaration of war and a license for violence. Where is the media outrage?
"Clinton knows we are already in the danger zone when it comes to the political temperature. Her comments, then, are as reckless as bringing a can of gasoline to a bonfire.
"She’s stoking trouble to gain a foothold in the 2020 race — and damn the consequences.
"Her claim that civility can return when Dems have power is an admission that the ends justify the means." . . .

BPR: ‘Egregiously irresponsible’: Hillary Clinton says no room for ‘civility’ until Democrats are back in control  . . . “That’s why she lost. She doesn’t get it. She never did,” [Trump] told reporters in the Oval Office on Tuesday.  “I knew that a long time ago. Hillary never got it. That’s why she lost.”
"Clinton’s lack of self awareness and remarks about “civility” were roundly mocked by Twitter users." . . .

McConnell Points to Hillary's Call for Dems to Abandon Civility, Warns the 'Madness Hasn't Stopped'  . . . "The far-left mob is not letting up,” he said on the floor of the Senate. “Earlier today former Secretary of State Clinton sent this signal as clear as today. This is Secretary Clinton. She told CNN exactly how she views millions of Americans who hold different political views from her own.”
“ 'Here’s what she said: ‘You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for. If we’re fortunate enough to win back the House and/or the Senate, that’s when civility can start again,’” McConnell said, quoting a portion of Clinton’s "McConnell condemned the remarks, emphasizing that the Senate will not be intimidated.
“ 'No peace until they get their way?” he asked. “More of these unhinged tactics? Apparently this is the left’s rallying cry. But fortunately the American people know that the fact-free politics of hate, fear, and intimidation are not how we actually govern in our democratic republic. The Senate and the nation will not be intimidated.” . . .

Daniel Greenfield has much to say about this also
All Republicans seem to respect is strength?
Who wore it best, Mussolini or Hillary?
"There can be no democratic norms, until we take power. But we're only doing it because strength is the only thing the other side understands," [said] every tyrant ever.
 " 'I remember what they did to me for 25 years -- the falsehoods, the lies, which unfortunately people believe because the Republicans have put a lot of time, money, and effort in promoting them," Clinton said. 
"The Republicans have even managed to shamelessly convince folks that Hillary Clinton didn't bring peace to Northern Ireland, try to join NASA or land under fire at an airport. 
"Or get named after Sir Edmund Hilary. 
"All these Republican lies are a serious problem. Like the time Republicans tried to convince people that Chelsea Clinton wasn't jogging around the World Trade Center on 9/11." . . .


If [Democrats] refuse to denounce incitement to harassment and murder, make them own it

I considered the Obama Administration to be the beginning of America's transformation into a third-world country. Democrats accelerate the descent today.

Thomas Lifson  "With Steve Scalise still needing canes to walk after surviving an attempted mass assassination of GOP congressmen; Maxine Waters loudly urging Democrats to harass Republicans whenever they venture out, even to "gasoline stations"; paid demonstrators pounding on the doors of the Supreme Court while the newest justice was sworn in; and the rank and file urging the murder of Justice Kavanaugh, the Republic now faces a crisis of political violence.




"The idea of America recapitulating Japan's slide into fascism through a period called "government by assassination" is no longer unthinkable.  Had Bernie Bro James Hodgkinson (Remember him?  The media certainly have done their best to erase him from memory.) succeeded in his true mission, of wiping out a chunk of the GOP caucus, the history of this Congress would be very different.  "It can't happen here" is a delusion.
"So far, nobody of standing in the Democratic Party is calling out the thugs operating as the Dems' enforcers.
"I suspect that the political calculus among Republicans has been to let Waters shoot off her mouth and alienate more and more independent voters.  But the risk of violence is such that this may be foolish.  It is now time for President Trump to start calling them out, reinforced by as many voices as possible, telling the public that if they don't condemn it, they approve of the violence and harassment.
"The worst among the Democrats have free rein to speak and act on their murderous fantasies.  The old slogan used by AIDS activists applies to the Democrats today:" . . .

These people have to pay consequences!


Minnesota Teacher Resigns After Tweeting About Killing Justice Kavanaugh
. . . "Ness has since resigned voluntarily following complaints pouring into the school about her tweet." . . .  That's all well and good, but what about arrest and trial?
. . ."To protest Kavanaugh’s appointment and confirmation, leftist protesters have been surrounding the Senate, Supreme Court, and even Republican Sen. Ted Cruz and his wife while screaming and banging on drums. Earlier this week, Hillary Clinton called for leftists to stop being civil until Democrats can take control of the House and Senate." . . .

ADMISSION: Some Anti-Kavanaugh Protesters WERE Paid To Help Make 'Viral Moments’

Daily Wire



"Contrary to endless denials from Democrats and leaders on the Left, advocacy groups did, in fact, pay protesters who vocally opposed the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court and accosted Republican senators.

"Their intent, according to a top editor for Vice News, was to attempt to create "viral moments," which includes the elevator confrontation of Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ).

"Appearing on ABC News' "This Week" on Sunday, Shawna Thomas said one of the women who accosted Flake on September 28 worked for the advocacy group UltraViolet and "was paid" to "steer people in the right ways to be able to confront senators."

"Host Jonathan Karl said, "So there were paid — " before Thomas cut him off. "There were people who were paid by organizations like UltraViolet, to — to try to harness that energy in a way that would make the viral moments that we ended up seeing."
. . . 
. . . "Fox News has reported that one of the women who confronted Flake is the co-executive director of the Center for Popular Democracy, which receives funding from billionaire George Soros.

"So once again, President Trump was right. "The very rude elevator screamers are paid professionals only looking to make Senators look bad. Don’t fall for it!" he wrote on Twitter on Friday." . . .

For many, this basically means that the woman’s attack on Sen. Flake may have been politically motivated rather than one that was actually genuine.

Hey hey, ho ho; Childish chants have got to go

Video Of Dancing Girl Accosting Elderly Man On Supreme Court Steps Goes Viral. It Doesn't End Well For Her.  "A video of a girl in jeans shorts dancing around an elderly man who is peacefully protesting in front of the Supreme Court went viral over the weekend.

"The video was shot during protests in front of the high court after the confirmation of Justice Brett Kavanaugh and shows the girl trying to knock two signs out of the man's hands. The signs read "She is a good liar" and "Arm teachers, protect kids." During the brief video, the girl is also shouting "Hey hey, ho ho, Kavanaugh has got to go!" in his face.

"Actor James Woods was among the many to highlight the video as a valuable insight into the mind of a liberal.
