Sen. Charles Grassley, chairman of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee that is scheduled to vote on the suddenly "controversial" nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court, only has to call one witness to address the public allegation that has been made against Kavanaugh by a California woman who claimed he assaulted her when they were both in high school. The witness is U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), ranking Democrat on the same Judiciary Committee. 1. She allegedly received a letter related to this allegation 2-3 months ago. 2. She never mentioned it in Kavanaugh's confirmation hearing. 3. If...

American politics have been roiled in the last 48 hours by a last-minute attempt by Democrats and political operatives to sink Brett Kavanaugh’s appointment to the United States Supreme Court. After all public and private hearings were over, Sen. Feinstein revealed a letter she had in her possession since July of this year, accusing Judge Kavanaugh of some teenage, high-school groping of a girl at a party. This girl, now a woman in her 50’s, has come forward and is willing to testify before the confirmation vote. Any reasonable person, not motivated by sheer partisan politics, might wonder about the...

The Nobel Prize winner argues that an economy dominated by large corporations has failed the many and enriched the few There is much to be concerned about in America today: a growing political and economic divide, slowing growth, decreasing life expectancy, an epidemic of diseases of despair. The unhappiness that is apparent has taken an ugly turn, with an increase in protectionism and nativism. Trump’s diagnosis, which blames outsiders, is wrong, as are the prescriptions that follow. This is an edited version of his talk delivered at "Does America Have a Monopoly Problem," co-hosted by the Roosevelt Institute and the...

Senator Dianne Feinstein turned over the letter she received claiming sexual abuse allegations against Judge, Brett Kavanaugh to the DOJ/FBI rquested an investigation into this matter be launched by the FBi. The FBI has stated it will not investigate this matter, as Judge, Kavanaugh has been investigated numerous times in his legal and political career by the DOJ/FBI and found to be squeaky clean. The DOJ/FBI forwarded this communication to the White House for executive review. So...much for that. The DOJ/FBI has looked closely at Kavanaugh many times and, does not want to get another black eye like it now...

Okay, the media and GWU Research says 3,000 people died in Puerto Rico as a result of the Trump administration 2017 hurricane response. Fine, where is the list? Has anyone seen a list of these 3,000 victims? Names, dates, locations, and cause of death?

Are the higher-ups at the GOP really worried the whole state of Texas turns against Cruz? I don't get it. All Beto has going for him is the pretty boy looks. Cruz will handly beat him in the 3 debates IF HE WANTS TO. So Cruz lays down in the first 2. Big money for Beto starts pouring in from all over-it already has. Then he destroys him in the 3rd debate 3 weeks b4 the election. Trump then parachutes into ATT stadium to 'save' him and the rest is history. DNC goes broke fighting a losing battle. That's the...

Today I ran searches for information about the scandal in the Catholic Church. I specifically wanted news related to Italian newspaper reports which hinted that Pope Benedict's dossier on the Gay mafia within the Church was going to be made public. I got little or nothing on the mainline search engines - Google returning only generalized references to the scandal from Legacy media. I used DuckDuckGo and found sites from alternative Traditional Catholic online sources (ChurchMilitant -OnePeterFive) listed right off on the first page. It seems that search algorithms defer. At the risk of asking a stupid question when I...

Serious question here. We know that the Democratic Party is the identity politics party. They like to pander to women, black, Latino, millennial, gay, white women, etc. They nominated and elected the first black man (Barack Obama). They nominated the first woman (Hillary Clinton), but failed. They'll try to run a woman or a Latino candidate, potentially. However, do you see Democrats nominating a lesbian feminist, and could that person win the presidency in the future, especially since the Left controls the media, academia, etc.?

Insane lunatic, NY Governor, Cuomo, politically slaughters supreme Nutcase Cynthia. You do not want to know the numbers...it's hilarious!!!

President Trump Build That WALL.... and here's how to do It !! During WW II the government issued "WAR BONDS" to finance military operations and other expenditures in the time of war. The government took in Billions of dollars from private citizens, so why can't the government issue "WALL BONDS" to build a wall to keep illegals and drugs out of America? This is a suggestion, and is posted for your consideration. Also, it is suggested that any money raised from the "WALL BONDS" fund should be used exclusively for building the wall. Please, let's get a "WALL BOND" fund...

The Sun of a Beach Mouse If you own a house on the beach on Perdido Key you just got screwed to the wall by Escambia County in sunny Florida, sometimes referred to as LA (Lower Alabama). It’s a shame how the liberals have begun to pollute a once conservative enclave in Sunny Florida. Escambia County is proposing a non-ad valorem (NAV) levy on the rich residents of Perdido Key for the protection of the Perdido Key Beach Mouse. It’s basically a soak the rich levy and it’s illegal. They could use tax revenue but in Florida local governments have...

Anyone know a good way to view now that the Clinton Crime Family successfully convinced ABC/Disney to flush it down the memory hole?

I want so badly for POTUS to have a majority in the House and Senate in November. I believe we’ll hold both, but I’m a little nervous about the House. Poll watchers, how are we looking? I will be praying!

Here is where we spent our vacation and the impressions for the first time in upstate New York. We got off the airplane at the Buffalo airport where we rented a car. From our first impressions of the countryside in route Chautauqua was wonderful. We marveled at the vineyards and cornfields, everything was so green and fresh with clean fresh air, and blue skies. We passed through small villages with Victorian houses and old steepled churches like you would see in picture postcards. What struck me most about these villages were every house seemed to fly the American flag from...

VANITY I thought you might be interested to know more about the limited privilege a reporter is entitled to in not disclosing confidential sources. The recent N.Y. Times anonymous op-ed individual is quoted as having written that he or she is “working diligently from within to frustrate parts of his (President Trump’s) agenda and his worst inclinations.” Some legal scholars have suggested that various, Treason, Seditious Conspiracy, etc. Federal statutes apply to the activities of the anonymous individual. This is an extreme position since basically these sections of the code requires some use of force; however, there may be another...

Today’s date is 9/7/2018. It is a day in infamy that will go down in history denoting America’s turn from individual thought, freedom of thought, individual responsibility of one’s own actions, freedom of expression, and the death of the America I used to know. .

Food for thought. The anonymous Op Ed Published in the New York Times was reported as a Senior official in the Administration. Woodward was gathering sources inside the Admin and undoubtedly talked to this person. When you read the editorial, it sounds just like Woodward. The fact that it was published when Woodward's book was published makes me wonder if he wrote it. Follow the money. (It is not the first time a dishonest media collaborated with a dishonest author.) Any other thoughts? Everyone gives the times the benefit of the doubt that it is real. I would never do...

Colin Kaepernick should run for Mayor of Chicago.Stop the violence,save lives.He's got the money.

Watching Jeff Flake question Kavanaugh. You thought Republicans will only ask friendly questions to Republican nominees? You were wrong. Flake is right now asking a series of questions all of which are designed to attack the President. He's even a bigger Jerk than I thought.
