On Judge Kavanaugh and Democrat rage

What's wrong with this statement? 

Women's March mocked for pre-written press release opposing Supreme Court nominee 'XX'

Brett Kavanaugh: An Excellent Beginning  "President Trump announced his appointment of D. C. Circuit Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court a few minutes ago. Trump was joined at the podium by Kavanaugh and his wife and two daughters. The event was, I think, superbly staged. Some observations:" . . .
". . . The audience gave Judge Kavanaugh and his family a warm reception that must have impressed unbiased viewers. The road to confirmation may be bumpy, given the Democrats’ lunacy, but it got off to an excellent start tonight."

It's Brett Kavanaugh: Will Left's Rank Politics Of Rage Keep Trump's Brilliant Pick Off Supreme Court? 

We've been here before. Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas, both conservative jurists, were vilified, slandered and attacked publicly for the crime of being Republican nominees to the court. Only Thomas made it on, and just barely. In one of the great injustices of the Senate approval process, Democrats and their organized far-left media mob forced Bork, one of the best-qualified nominees in history to the court, to withdraw after a sickening campaign of defamation and character assassination.

 The SCOTUS nominee has to be 'controversial' because...Trump

. . . "And the media still don't understand why Trump has accurately labeled them fake news.

"Borking accusations sure to come: a woman – or maybe, for good measure, a man – will claim he behaved inappropriately 30 years ago.  Discussions that his active involvement in his Catholic community renders him incapable of judging several cases.  He worked under Ken Starr, so he's a misogynist."

A Liberal’s Case for Brett Kavanaugh

NY Times Editorial

Judge Brett Kavanaugh, shown here in 2004, is President Trump’s
nominee for the Supreme Court.

"The nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to be the next Supreme Court justice is President Trump’s finest hour, his classiest move. Last week the president promised to select “someone with impeccable credentials, great intellect, unbiased judgment, and deep reverence for the laws and Constitution of the United States.” In picking Judge Kavanaugh, he has done just that.

"In 2016, I strongly supported Hillary Clinton for president as well as President Barack Obama’s nominee for the Supreme Court, Judge Merrick Garland. But today, with the exception of the current justices and Judge Garland, it is hard to name anyone with judicial credentials as strong as those of Judge Kavanaugh. He sits on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (the most influential circuit court) and commands wide and deep respect among scholars, lawyers and jurists.

"Judge Kavanaugh, who is 53, has already helped decide hundreds of cases concerning a broad range of difficult issues. Good appellate judges faithfully follow the Supreme Court; great ones influence and help steer it. Several of Judge Kavanaugh’s most important ideas and arguments — such as his powerful defense of presidential authority to oversee federal bureaucrats and his skepticism about newfangled attacks on the property rights of criminal defendants — have found their way into Supreme Court opinions." . . . Full article

Leftist reactions to the appointment of Judge Kavanaugh

Are Americans yet sickened by the Democrats and their petty vindictiveness?

Pelosi Vows To “Avenge President Obama If It’s Last Thing I Do’ By Opposing Trump SCOTUS Nominee
. . . "Pelosi, 78, is one of several top Democrats — including Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.– who already have announced that they oppose Trump’s pick without knowing whom the president has selected. Schumer has said the Senate should not consider any Supreme Court nominees during an election year." . . .

Watch: McConnell Mocks Democrats Over Supreme Court Hysteria 

" 'It's hard to keep a straight face when you hear stuff like that," McConnell said. "There's not even a nominee yet. Justice Kennedy just announced his retirement, and they're talking about the destruction of the Constitution? Please, give the American people some credit."

"This far-left rhetoric comes out every single time, but the Apocalypse never comes," McConnell continued. "Americans see beyond this kind of far-left mongering. This kind of fear-mongering they tried over and over again for 40 years."

Michelle Wolf Leads Sickening ‘Salute To Abortions’

Chicks On The Right "It’s one thing to be casually “pro-choice.” It’s another to actively SALUTE ABORTIONS OMG. Yet, that’s exactly what “comedian” (I use the word loosely) Michelle Wolf did.

"At the end of her Netflix show “The Break with Michelle Wolf,” she came out on the stage in a patriotic outfit and tried to get her obnoxious crowd all amped up over abortions. She was all, “Women, if you need an abortion, get one…If you want an abortion, get one.”

"So much for “safe, legal and rare.”

“Women, don’t forget, you have the power to give life and men will try to control that,” Wolf continued. “Don’t let them.”

“…power to give life…” So she admits it’s a life?

"Also, I can’t believe this even needs to be said out loud, but women can’t give life alone. Why do Democrats suck at biology so much?

“Look, access to abortion is good and important,” Wolf said. “Some people say abortion is ‘killing a baby.’ It’s not. It’s stopping a baby from happening.”

"So when does that “blob of cells” become a baby? Not until it creeps out of the birth canal? Are premature babies #FakeBabies?" . . .

Carly Fiorina educates leftist Katie Couric on 'climate change'

I'd much rather Ms. Fiorina be the first woman president than the corrupt Hillary. When this lady speaks I trust her honesty, feeling much more comfort if she speaks to me about my slain son while standing by his casket.

John Scotto  "In a most enlightening YouTube video (embedded below), former Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina makes leftist "journalist" Katie Couric look like a fool regarding the climate change issue.  While engaging Couric, Fiorina emphasizes the reality of American dependence upon oil and coal and how these energy sources are needed for the nation's basic survival.

. . . "The climate change phenomenon has become one of the greatest ruses ever perpetrated upon mankind.  Barack Obama used the EPA as a weapon against America's middle class.  By simply reversing the past Obama EPA regulations, President Trump has jump-started the American economy.  It really wasn't rocket science, but just common sense.

"President Trump's bold reversal of most of the Obama era's EPA regulations has awoken a bunch of U.S. citizens, and this awakening is now putting the climate alarmists into state of panic and rage.  The alarmists' effort to convince people that the Earth is in a state of perpetual and imminent danger is quickly losing its luster.  People in general are growing tired of these incessant climate alarmist warnings – warnings by leftist politicians and so-called scientists that come attached with ominous predictions, meaning apocalyptic predictions that never seem to come [true]." . . .

Walk Away: Leftists Abuse St. Jude Family Who Thanked Eric Trump For Raising Millions of Dollars to Help Children With Cancer

The Gateway Pundit

"Nothing is too low for leftists; they’ll even attack a family with a precious little boy battling cancer.

"A Memphis, Tennessee woman was on the receiving end of abuse from leftists after she decided to thank Eric Trump for donating and helping raise millions of dollars to help fund St. Jude children’s hospital.

"Eric Trump and the Trump Organization donated and helped raise $16 million dollars to fund St. Jude children’s hospital to help families pay for cancer treatments for children.

"A Tennessee woman was emotional and grateful after watching how the doctors and staff at St. Jude saved her nephew, Zachary’s life after he was diagnosed with cancer.

"The woman was so grateful, she decided to tweet a little thank you note to Eric Trump.

“ 'Thank you for your commitment to St. Jude. This St. Jude family is eternally grateful,” the woman said in a tweet.

. . . "From this moment on, the woman said she and her little nephew were on the receiving end of an onslaught of pure hatred from leftists.

"She received so much hatred, she decided to post a #WalkAway video describing her experience.

"Nothing it too low for today’s Democrats. They even attack a family with a child suffering from cancer simply because they thanked Eric Trump."

"Journalists" become propagandists

From Jeff Dawald at Expose Liberals & Media Bias

When challenged by a conservative interviewee, the host, refusing to respond to the challenge, will say "I'm asking you!". I wish the person being interviewed would hit back with "I do not regard you as an impartial journalist, but rather an advocate for my opposition".  TD

Why Should a Single Federal Judge Be Able to Make Law for the Whole Country?

National Review

While we fill a Supreme Court vacancy, let’s also have that debate. John Fund

A protester outside the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco, Calif., February 7, 2017

. . . "Confusion about the proper role of the courts extends to many of our sitting judges. Last month, while the Supreme Court narrowly upheld the so-called Trump travel ban, Justice Clarence Thomas raised an issue that the next Supreme Court justice may have to weigh in on. Why is it, he asked, that a single federal district judge can impose an injunction blocking a presidential executive order in all 50 states even if none of his colleagues (599 district judges) thinks it’s a good idea?
"Justice Thomas wrote:

These injunctions are beginning to take a toll on the federal court system — preventing legal questions from percolating through the federal courts, encouraging forum shopping, and making every case a national emergency for the courts and for the Executive Branch.            I am skeptical that district courts have the authority to enter universal injunctions. These injunctions did not emerge until a century and a half after the founding. And they appear to be inconsistent with longstanding limits on equitable relief and the power of Article III courts. If their popularity continues, this Court must address their legality. 

"Since January 2017, the “resistance” to President Trump has succeeded in getting 22 injunctions against his actions on issues ranging from the “Dreamers” to sanctuary cities and transgender policy in the military." . . .

The June Report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows a strengthening economy, particularly good for minorities. The DNC calls it “reckless.”

Trump, it turns out, has been the most consequential president in history when it comes to minority employment. In June, for instance, the unemployment rate for Hispanics and Latinos 16 years and older fell to 4.6%, its lowest level ever, from 4.9% in May. The previous all-time low was 4.8%.

Bookworm Room  "After eight years of a moribund economy under Obama, an eight year stretch that was particularly hard on minorities, it is indeed good to see an increasing number of people returning to the workforce.  So June%.’s jobs report from the BLS:  over 600,000 people returned to the workforce; 213,000 new jobs added; minority unemployment at record lows.  As always, for a complete analysis, visit Tom Blumer’s Bizzy Blog.  

"We still have a long way to go to recover from the damage done by eight years of Obama and the Democrats sub-prime nuclear explosion in our economy.  On the first month of Obama’s presidency, in Feb. 2008, the Labor Force Participation Rate stood at 66.0%.  In the last month of his Presidency, Dec. 2016, it stood at 62.7%.  Now, with people returning to the workforce in an improving economy under Trump, that number is slowly going back up.  It stands in June at 62.9%. . . .

MSNBC lies in support of Hillary's candidacy documented and savaged – from the left

It's pretty clear to me that the mainstream media are intent on utterly destroying any residual credibility they still have.  Once they realize that their hysterical anti-Trump posture is actually driving support to the president, what will they do?  

Thomas Lifson   "NBC, a subsidiary of Comcast, and its cable news affiliate MSNBC have become among the fiercest antagonists of President Trump.  Even before his election, they were shameless in shilling for Hillary Clinton's candidacy.  Conservatives know this quite well, but now comes documentation from the left of the outright lies, not just permitted, but encouraged and rewarded by the cable outlet, and tolerated by its corporate parents.

"Glenn Greenwald, of the Intercept, documents an attempt to smear left-wing presidential candidate Jill Stein.  The presumption has to be that votes for Stein would otherwise have gone to Hillary, so hobbling her with lies would also hurt the prospects of electoral success of Donald Trump." . . .

NPR Interview: Bennett Reinvents Athlete Activism as 'New Kind of Hero'

"Michael Bennett is no longer a Seattle Seahawks pass rusher (he's been traded to Philadelphia), but social justice warriors in the Emerald City still revere him as the inventor of the athlete activist role and a new kind of hero. Seattle's NPR station KUOW was the perfect progressive forum for an interview that local teacher and SJW Jesse Hagopian conducted with Bennett in a Town Hall last month.

"During the interview, Hagopian mentions a social justice group named Athletes for Impact (A4I) because Bennett is literally the face of the organization. The group was formed in 2016 "to provide a platform for athlete activism" on the issues of Black Lives Matter, police violence, the economy, LGBTQ and equal rights, climate change, education, immigration and mass incarceration.

"When asked about the NFL's new policy calling for players to respect the national anthem or stay in the clubhouse, Bennett took off on a rant only an SJW can appreciate:" . . .

Democrats Love Socialism Because They Want To Take Your Stuff And Enslave You
. . . "It’s amusing that so many of us Normals understand socialism better than the socialists do not only in terms of what Marx said, and what history says, but in terms of firsthand knowledge. A lot of us Normals have seen socialism up close and personal. Guys like me actually went and lived in its ruins. If you spent significant time, as I have, in the former Yugoslavia, or Ukraine, or even helping to guard the West German border from those friendly fraternal socialist dudes to the east, you’ll be stripped of any illusions about that garbage ideology.

"Socialism is about taking your stuff and your freedom and killing you if you complain. They try to pass it off as just Liberalism 2.0, but then you usually don’t call something by a name unless you mean it. If they don’t mean “socialism,” why do they call themselves “socialists?”

"They use the term, counting on the stupidity of people educated in public schools (Yah government!), but they are coy about what they really mean. They always point to Sweden and Denmark and Norway when they talk about “socialism,” as if those were their role models (and as if America was full of Swedes, Danes, and Norwegians instead of being a melting pot of immigrants with a radically different history and culture). Yet, how come we always see the most excited champagne socialists trekking off to visit the dictators in Havana and Caracas and not the elected leaders in Stockholm, Copenhagen, and Oslo? " . . .

Thomas Sowell telling said that facts — real world, life facts — ended his Marxist phase. I’ve compiled a list of life facts that made me conservative.

"Facts, as John Adams said, are stubborn things. Listening to Sowell, I started thinking about the facts my years on earth have taught me, all of which have led me to my current conservative world view. Here are the ones I could think of off-hand. They are not in any particular order:" . . .
