"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
Rich Terrell |
"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.

Watch Hillary Clinton Call For Liberals To Abandon Civility Until They Retake Congress
"In an open letter published by CNN last week, Kelly Paul, wife to Republican Sen. Rand Paul, begged Democratic Sen. Cory Booker to condemn the intimidation and threats of violence she and her family have faced over the past year. Last year, Republican Rep. Steve Scalise was shot and nearly killed by a leftist while he was practicing baseball with some Republican colleagues."Just think: this woman would rule over us!
The Federalist "In an interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour on Tuesday, Hillary Clinton said it’s time for the left to stop being civil and take the gloves off.

“ 'You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about,” she said. “That’s why I believe if we are fortunate enough to win back the House and or the Senate, that’s when civility can start again. But until then the only thing the Republicans seem to recognize and respect is strength.”
"Her remarks come just a day after Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh was ceremonially sworn in to serve at the highest court in the land following a weeks-long campaign by leftists to paint him as a serial gang rapist. While he was taking the official oath of office on Saturday, protestors stormed the Supreme Court building and banged on the doors in an effort to force them open. Several Republican senators who supported Kavanaugh’s confirmation have received death threats, have had their home addresses published online, and been chased out of restaurants.
"So the question remains: What civility do liberals have left to abandon? How can the left get any less civil than they already are without breaking into open street riots? Does this mean instead of threatening violence liberals should actually follow through and harm those who disagree with them?
"Last month a Democrat was arrested for allegedly attempting to stab a Republican congressman with a pocket knife at a fall festival in Castro Valley, California. Several weeks later, his opponent, Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell, made light of rape threats aimed at a young staffer working for Sen. Susan Collins.

Partisan Warfare Will Shatter Our Constitution
Bruce Fein
Thomas Jefferson sagely advised that “great innovations should not be forced on a slender majority.”
"Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s 50-to-48 Senate confirmation vote to be a justice on the Supreme Court is the tiniest majority in nearly 140 years since Justice Stanley Matthew’s razor-thin 24-to-23 confirmation in 1881. Thereby hangs a portentous tale of how radicalized and poisonous our politics has become.
"Judge Kavanaugh attracted but one Democratic vote. He lost but one Republican vote. His partisan confirmation was the flip side of the 2010 Affordable Care Act, which passed Congress without a single Republican vote. In both cases, a narrow partisan majority steamrollered the minority on a matter of high controversy.
"In neither case was the letter of the Constitution transgressed. But as Saint Paul sermonized in 2 Corinthians 3:6: “[T]he letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.” Thomas Jefferson sagely advised that “great innovations should not be forced on a slender majority.” His first inaugural address elaborated: “All, too, will bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will to be rightful must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must protect, and to violate would be oppression.”
"In other words, if majorities neglect to exercise prudence or restraint, the Constitution will crumble." . . .

Kavanaugh Casualties: The mainstream Left, Never Trumpers, conventional wisdom, #MeToo, the media in tatters

The Left
"When the Christine Ford saga finally ended with the confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, a lot of truth had distilled out, along with the evaporation of prior pretensions and misconceptions.
"The hearing confirmed that the traditional JFK/Hubert Humphrey Democrat party, as once envisioned by a Bill Clinton, Gary Hart, or Jim Webb, is long kaput. In its place is being birthed a hard-left progressive movement that absorbs the ideologies and methodologies of its base and that now incorporates all sorts, from Ocasio-Cortez’s socialist hipsters to Black Lives Matters, Antifa, and Occupy Wall Street protestors.
"The new progressives recently have come to believe that they gain traction by the theater of disrupting Senate hearings, cornering senators in elevators, stalking them on the way to work, doxing their opponents on the Internet, and during the hearings throwing out the concept of due process. Any means is deemed permissible to enact visions of social justice, given legislative and executive power is lost for now — and as if proverbially ordinary Americans who watched the televised circus might applaud the performers.
. . .
"The emotional powerbase of the new Democrats is now Corey “I am Spartacus” Booker, Kamala Harris, Kirsten Gillibrand, and thousands of state and local Ocasio-Cortezes. Barack Obama really did fundamentally transform the old Democratic party. Or rather from 2009 to 2017, he dismantled it at the congressional, state, and local levels while he was elected twice to the presidency. But even the now multimillionaire Obama appears to the new Democrats as a near has-been sellout. And in his fifties, he will have to hit the streets again, in his prior mode of “get in their face, bring a gun to a knife fight, punish our enemies,” to recapture his hard-left fides. " . . .

Nikki Haley leaves the administration this year
Axios was the first to break this story: Scoop: Trump has accepted Nikki Haley's resignation . . . "Worth noting: Haley wrote a public op-ed in September challenging the N.Y. Times' anonymous op-ed, which was written by a "senior administration official" and claimed that Trump aides saw him as a threat to U.S. democracy.
This was planned sometime before. Not "suddenly" as the next article from the Daily Mail states.
Haley wrote in her response:
Trump: UN Ambassador Nikki Haley to Leave 'At the End of the Year'"I don’t agree with the president on everything. When there is disagreement, there is a right way and a wrong way to address it. I pick up the phone and call him or meet with him in person.""Like my colleagues in the Cabinet and on the National Security Council, I have very open access to the president. He does not shut out his advisers, and he does not demand that everyone agree with him. I can talk to him most any time, and I frequently do.""If I disagree with something and believe it is important enough to raise with the president, I do it. And he listens." . . .
. . . "Last month Haley wrote an op-ed in The Washington Post discussing her policy disagreements but also her pride in working for Trump. It came in response to an anonymous essay in The New York Times by a senior administration official that alleged there to be a secret "resistance" effort from the right in Trump's administration and that there were internal discussions of invoking the 25th amendment to remove Trump from office.
" 'I proudly serve in this administration, and I enthusiastically support most of its decisions and the direction it is taking the country," Haley wrote. "But I don't agree with the president on everything."
"As governor, she developed a national reputation as a racial conciliator who led the charge to bring down the Confederate flag at the Statehouse and guided South Carolina through one of its darkest moments, the massacre at a black church." . . .
Nikki Haley suddenly quits as Trump's ambassador to the United Nations saying 'I'm NOT running for 2020' while praising Ivanka and Jared as she sits beside president who says: 'She's made it a more glamorous position' . . . "She spoke out strongly in favor of Christine Blasey Ford after the university professor levied an accusation of sexual assault against Judge Brett Kavanaugh.
" 'It turns my stomach. It really turns my stomach. I mean, Ms. Ford needs to be heard, but Brett Kavanaugh needs to be heard and the Senate has a responsibility here,' Haley told Fox News. 'They have to lead, they have to make sure it’s fair, they have to make sure it’s responsible and they have got to take the politics out of this situation.'
"Haley defended the president in strong terms, however, a day later when a reporter asked her about an alleged plot to remove Trump from office using the 25th amendment.
"A Cabinet-level member of the Trump administration since the Republican took office, she said 'no one is questioning' the president's mental acuity.
" 'It is completely and totally absurd,' Haley said at a late September news conference. 'No one is questioning the president at all. If anything, we’re trying to keep up the pace with him in the fact that he’s got a lot that he wants to accomplish very quickly, and we’re going to continue to support him in the way that he does that.' " . . .
RedState reports: . . . "The departure is arguably the biggest loss of the Trump Administration, as Republicans who liked and disliked Trump still admired her as a rising star of the party and a frequently-discussed presidential contender."
Haley will be sorely missed by Israel, but they still have President Trump:

Meet Kavanaugh's all-female team of clerks as he makes a very pointed series of hirings to start as the ninth Supreme Court Justice
Pray for these people as the left is capable of violence toward them. TD
UK Daily Mail "New Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh has kept a promise he made during his confirmation process - to hire all female clerks in his first term on the bench.

"Four women clerks joined him at the Supreme Court building on Tuesday, his first day of a lifetime appointment to the bench.
"Their hiring comes after Kavanaugh denied multiple allegations of sexual assault and was the target of protestors who called on senators to believe women and vote against his confirmation. " . . .
. . . "Sara Nommensen graduated from Harvard Law in 2016 and has been an adviser in the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel. "She was a student of Kavanaugh’s when he taught at Harvard Law School and signed a letter in support of his nomination."She also was the vice president of social activities at the Harvard Law chapter of the Federalist Society.

Exactly as Predicted — and How the Winning Kavanaugh Confirmation Struggle Next Plays Out
The American Spectator
Justice Brett Kavanaugh will survive — and thrive.
After this writer lists ten predictions regarding the Kavanaugh hearings that came true, the article continues with this:
. . . "Further — exactly as predicted — the FBI investigation proved a boon for the Kavanaugh nomination and the Republicans. It reflected GOP fairness and open-mindedness, took away from the Democrat Resistance their only solitary issue that bore even a modicum of moral decency, and created a stronger investigatory basis for deeming Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh to be a good man, decent, a wonderful husband, father, and son who was defamed brutally. The FBI investigation, rather than playing into Democrats’ hands, launched a new phase: the process of clearing Justice Kavanaugh’s good name.
"And not insignificantly, the decision by The Resistance to devote five of the last nine weeks before the November elections to smearing Justice Kavanaugh meant that they had taken off the table the full smorgasbord of their trademark Liberal-Left talking points: Stormy Daniels, the Mueller investigation, Michael Cohen, children at the border, Rod Rosenstein, how the enormously successful tax breaks have not helped the middle class, how the enormously successful tax breaks that have helped the middle class should be attributed to Obama, the President’s mental capacity, Omarosa, the New York Times “anonymous” op-ed, the Woodward book, and all other such. All removed from the public discussion as The Resistance revved all cylinders to focus exclusively on destroying the Kavanaugh nomination." . . .
Don't mess with the women!
Rich Terrell |
Today’s feminists don’t believe in female independence: They erase or bully women who don’t toe the leftist line.
. . . This bullying tactic is in obvious contradiction with feminism’s historic promise to uphold the individuality and agency of every woman. Can women actually think for themselves, or must they necessarily fall in line with progressive groupthink? The resounding answer from feminists seems to be the latter.
"In response to Kavanaugh’s confirmation, prominent feminist pundit Jessica Valenti tweeted that “women will not forget,” while Jill Filipovic tweeted that “at least women now see a little more clearly how much we don’t matter to the people in charge.” Jennifer Wright, meanwhile, wrote in Harper’s Bazaar over the weekend:
Full article here. . .Our rage burns so brightly. I look out, and I see a nation of women incandescent with rage. We will burn patriarchal institutions to the ground. And I pray that, for our daughters, the blaze will light the way forward.
New Democrat Scam: Fake Republican Women Who Will NEVER VOTE REPUBLICAN AGAIN! "Right on cue, the Democrats and their accomplices in the media are trotting out their latest narrative, using women claiming to be Republicans who say that after this Kavanaugh fiasco, they will never vote Republican again!

Three Lies Taylor Swift Told About Marsha Blackburn
Another Hollywood show-off, as if we needed one.
PJ Media
Since now she's political, she will hit all the TV talk shows.
PJ Media
"On Sunday night, pop singer Taylor Swift announced her opposition to Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), citing mostly LGBT issues. In these attacks, she misrepresented Blackburn's positions, painting the Republican candidate for Senate as a bigot and a "hater."
" 'I cannot vote for someone who will not be willing to fight for dignity for ALL Americans, no matter their skin color, gender or who they love," Swift wrote. The singer added that Blackburn's "voting record in Congress appalls and terrifies me."
"Then Taylor Swift launched into a summary of talking points published by the LGBT activist group GLAAD.
" 'She voted against equal pay for women. She voted against the Reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, which attempts to protect women from domestic violence, stalking, and date rape. She believes businesses have a right to refuse service to gay couples," Swift declared.
"Each of these claims misrepresented Blackburn's positions." . . .
Since now she's political, she will hit all the TV talk shows.
Justice Kavanaugh Sworn In At White House

Democrats, please take note of the look on the faces of Justice Kavanaugh's daughters.
Relax, girls; that isn't Joe Biden behind you. It's President Trump and you're safe. TD
"Brett Kavanaugh was sworn in at the White House today, by Justice Anthony Kennedy, whom Kavanaugh replaces on the Court and for whom Kavanaugh clerked.
"Also in attendance were the other members of the Supreme Court.
"Trump, in his introduction, noted that the Kavanaugh family had been mistreated during the confirmation process, but had been vindicated:
More photos of this ceremony here. How can one see these photos and not feel utter contempt toward Democrats and their Hollywood yokefellows?“On behalf of our nation, I want to apologize to Brett and the entire Kavanaugh family for the terrible pain and suffering you have been forced to endure,” Trump began. “Those who step forward to serve our country deserve a fair and dignified evaluation, not a campaign of political and personal destruction based on lies and deception. What happened to the Kavanaugh family violates every notion of fairness, decency, and due process. In our country, a man or a woman must always be presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.”Trump added that “under historic scrutiny,” Kavanaugh had been “proven innocent.”
