“Nominating Dr. Christine Blasey Ford – a true American (s)hero who sacrificed so much to do what was right for our country and for the pursuit of truth of justice – for this year’s Profiles in Courage Award @JFKLibrary,” Ms. Speier, California Democrat, tweeted Monday evening.
"She is an inspiration to us all,” she added.

"The Profile in Courage Award is a prestigious award given out by the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum once a year to public officials “at the federal, state, or local level whose actions demonstrate the qualities of politically courageous leadership,” according to its description page. Recent recipients include former Presidents Barack Obama and George H.W. Bush.

"The Boston-based library is accepting nominations for this year’s award recipient until Thursday. A ceremony will be held at the library in May.

"Ms. Ford, a professor at Palo Alto University in California, testified about her allegations on Capitol Hill ahead of Justice Kavanaugh’s confirmation in October. Her claims remain uncorroborated and Justice Kavanaugh has maintained his innocence." . . .

Abolishing ICE, offering ‘free’ college to all, raising taxes to 70 percent: Will the somnolent GOP take notice?

 

 

"The old Democratic party championed the working classes, wanted secure borders to protect middle-class union wage earners, and focused generous federal entitlement help on the citizen poor. Civil rights were defined as equality of opportunity for all.

"That party is long dead. An updated Hubert Humphrey or even Bill Clinton would not recognize any of the present “Democrats.”
"Even the old wing of elite liberals is mostly long gone, with its talk of legal immigration only, opposition to censorship, pro-Israel foreign policy, let-it-hang-out Sixties indulgence, and free speech.
"It was superseded by grim progressives who are not so much interested in a square, new, or fair deal for the middle classes, as an entirely different deal that redefines everything from the Bill of Rights and the very way we elect presidents and senators to an embrace of identity politics as its first principle.
"Indeed, we are currently witnessing a quite strange series of North Korean–like reeducation confessionals, from repenting erstwhile liberals and now presidential hopefuls such as Joe Biden, Tulsi Gabbard, Kamala Harris, and Kirsten Gillibrand. They and other would-be candidates parade before show cameras to apologize for their prior incorrect heresies, including their erstwhile support for drug laws, tough sentencing, and border enforcement." . . .

Trump exposed how worthless the press is

*The pattern is now drearily familiar. First, a poorly attributed story will break — say, “Source: Donald Trump Killed Leon Trotsky Back in 1940.”  National Review

Don Surber  "In a delightful column, Charles C.W. Cooke, editor of National Review Online, skewered the Washington press corps, which is broken.
" He blamed not President Donald John Trump for this breakdown. Of course not. President Trump exposed how worthless the press is.
"*Cooke wrote, "Not since Florence Foster Jenkins [an heiress who dreamed of becoming an opera singer, despite having a terrible singing voice] have Americans been treated to such an excruciating example of self-delusion. The most vocal among the press corps’ ranks cast themselves openly as firefighters when, at worst, they are pyromaniacs and, at best, they are obsequious asbestos salesmen. 'You never get it right, do you?' Sybil Fawlty told Basil in Fawlty Towers. 'You’re either crawling all over them licking their boots or spitting poison at them like some Benzedrine puff adder.' There is a great deal of space between apologist and bête noire. In the newsrooms of America, that space is empty."
" Befitting his station as a journalist, Cooke exhibited no self-awareness as he ignored the numerous leaps to conclusion that his site recently made, most notably saying the Covington Catholic High boys spit on the cross.

"But his lampoon of the papers was fun." . . .

"Ka-ma-ka-ma-ka-ma-ka-ma-ka-ma-kamaleon: she comes and goes, she comes and goes"  Deuteronomy Jones and the Culture Club

Flipping, flopping, backtracking, Kamala Harris just isn't ready for prime time . . . "Which makes her look pretty wretched and puppety. Did she actually think this 'me-as-president' idea through?
"Doesn't sound like it. You want to propose something crazy and sweeping, you'd better be prepared to defend the idea if you care about your credibility. Yet she backtracked on her proposal for single payer health insurance one day after she made it, to say that, well, no, she didn't really mean to say that everyone's health insurance should be taken away and everyone in the health insurance industry should be put out of work. Because those were the implications of her big campaign proposal, which drew big initial applause from the peanut gallery, and widespread disgust among the more sober-minded public."
"Howie Schultz shot that idea down like a marksman." . . . Read more...

She-who-must-be-feared terrorizes the above source: CNN’s Kaczynski Deletes Tweet About Kamala ‘Backtracking’ After Campaign Pushes Back

An abundance of arrogance  . . . California senator Kamala Harris recently announced her candidacy, defining her campaign for the White House as a fight against President Trump.  During her speech in California, she rambled through her résumé bona fides and then proclaimed that government-run health care is a right.  Apparently, the senator has never read the Bill of Rights.  If she had, she'd know that government-provided health care is not an enumerated right.
"Several days later, the senator minced no words during a televised town hall event in Iowa with CNN host Jake Tapper, formally endorsing Medicare for All.  It's worth noting that the town hall event was by invitation only for a select group of Iowa Democratic Party faithful and a handful of Drake University students.  Sound familiar?" . . .
