As one of our authors said in a column at the beginning of Kavanaugh’s hearing, this current method of “examining” SCOTUS nominees started with Robert Bork. Once the left saw Teddy Kennedy’s success, they grabbed ‘hold and haven’t let go.
This is our opportunity to turn it around.
We’ve been afraid to “discredit” a sexual assault or harassment victim. Unfortunately, the Left has made those terms so vague as to render them meaningless. And, they’ve insisted we believe every female because… chromosomes.
In my opinion, Chrsitine Blasey Ford suffered some kind of trauma. I don’t know who the perpetrator was, or when or where. I don’t believe it was Brett Kavanaugh. But, that is beside the point.
It’s crucial that the GOP destroy this Dem narrative so ferociously and so definitively that they don’t try it again.
We must Bork the Borkers.
One of the most influential books in my life, 48 Laws of Power, has some advice the Republicans in the Senate, and especially on the Senate Judiciary Committee, must follow. Law 15 says, “Crush Your Enemies Totally.” If you don’t, they can rally and come back and destroy you. I have seen the truth of that over and over in politics, and it is especially crucial now.
I don’t like referring to fellow Americans as enemies, but the Democrats in Congress have shown they have no regard for procedure, for standards, for truth and justice. They attempt to deceive people into thinking they are thinking of principles and values and what-not, but they absolutely aren’t. What we are witnessing now are the desperate cries of a cornered animal. They know they are losing; therefore, they cry louder and make even more outrageous demands and allegations.
Because we want to believe we are humane and have values, we want to afford them the opportunity to back away. We want to give them the grace and benefit of the doubt we’d want, if we were people who suddenly realized how far we’d gone astray.
At this point, giving them that grace is a fatal mistake. They’re not realizing they’ve gone astray; they’re utilizing variants of a few different laws: using selective honesty to disarm the victim, controlling the options, and concealing their intentions.
Republicans in the Senate – rumor has it that you’re still holding some cards that show Blasey to be a total liar. Now is the time to play those. Judging by past behavior, this Thursday time frame is an attempt to buy time so Blasey’s allies can find some other material to hurl at Kavanaugh, since they know this attack won’t work. It’s time to crush this sexual harassment game by stomping on its head. Obviously (I hope) true sexual assault will never be covered up by honorable people. At the same time, made-up sexual assault for political gain must be absolutely crushed so the Dems can never use it again.
The country depends on you, Senator Grassley.
Signed,
A woman who has truly been affected by sexual harassment.
I don’t even grant that something happened to Ford. She is a pussy hat wearing liberal activist liar.
Subpoena all of the banking records from the “professor” and her attorney for the past year. Find out where the money came from.
“The country depends on you, Senator Grassley.”
Unfortunately, that statement says it all.
I agree, and I even believe I know who the perpetrators were, and when, and where. Christine Blasey Ford suffered trauma on November 8, 2016, when 62,984,828 voters from 30 states with 304 electoral votes selected the best candidate for President of the United States instead of the power-hungry tyrant Christine Ford preferred.
We’ve been afraid to “discredit” a sexual assault or harassment victim. Unfortunately, the Left has made those terms so vague as to render them meaningless. And, they’ve insisted we believe every female because… chromosomes.

You just negated your own argument. Why do you believe she “suffered some kind of trauma”? You don’t know that. We haven’t even been allowed to read the letter she wrote to Feinstein, much less heard any accusations from her own lips, much less have proof that this is anything other than 100% fantasy, intended (and successfully on the road to) derailing a Supreme Court nomination that they feel will endanger their inalienable right to kill their own babies.
Until this obnoxious woman comes forth with proof that something happened and Brett Kavanaugh was responsible for it, I’m not going to believe ANYTHING happened to her except that her teeny little brain was, at some point, corrupted by liberalism.
The only “trauma” this woman has seen is that there were ONLY 64 sexual partners between high school and college....she desired a much higher number.
“In my opinion, christine blasey ford suffered some kind of trauma. I don’t know who the perpetrator was, or when or where.”
The best lies contain an element of truth. Clumsy teenage groping being not uncommon, this person likely was groped more than once. Practicing mentally placing Kavanaugh at the 36 year old scene over the last few months would help her pass lie detection tests.
54 sexual partners before college..?
TOTAL HEAD CASE.
Bork enough?
Kristen Gillibrand must call for the FBI to investigate her to prove she has no connection to Nxivm

Let’s take New York Democrat Senator Kristen Gillibrand at her word regarding the duty of anyone who is accused of wrong doing to ask to be investigated.
Senator Gillibrand has said that by not asking for an FBI investigation of the “charges” against him, Judge Brett Kavanaugh is not acting like an innocent person.
This is an especially strange statement in view of the lack of specifics in the charges against the judge.
The accuser has not been able to supply even a vague idea of the year of this attack, where it took place or who else was present during the alleged instant.
She has nothing but her “repressed” memory to rely on; which is just not good enough.
Nevertheless, it is quite obvious that Senator Gillibrand feels that, despite the flimsiness of the charge against him, in order to be a righteous person, and an honorable officer of the court, Judge Kavanaugh is compelled to demand the FBI investigate him.
By her own reasoning, Senator Gillibrand should demand the FBI investigate her since there is ample evidence that her father worked for the sexual predators of Nxivm at a time when she had moved to Albany to be near him.
She denies any knowledge of her father’s activities, but how do we know she is being truthful?
Both she and her father are lawyers.
It is an uncontested fact that Gillibrand’s father Doug Rutnik worked as an attorney for Nxivm for four months in 2004 at a rate of $25,000 per month.
In 2004 Gillibrand left her NYC based law firm to work in its Albany office.
She said it was to prepare to run for Congress in a district nearby, but she did not run until 2006.
She was in Albany during the period her father was working for Nxivm.
According to the U K Daily Mail, “[Doug] Rutnik [Kirsten Gillibrand’s father] was hired by [Keith] Raniere [the leader of the sex slave cult known as Nxivm] as a lobbyist in 2004 and was later sued by him. The case was eventually settled for $100,000. On Tuesday [March 27, 2018], a Gillibrand spokesman reiterated a November [2017] statement to the [New York Post] claiming that she knew nothing about the case.”
‘Senator Gillibrand had never heard of this group until she recently read about them in the newspaper,’ said spokesman Glen Caplin.
‘She is glad that federal and state prosecutors have taken action in this case.’
‘Raniere, 57, is the leader of NXIVM, a secretive group headquartered in Albany.
‘He is accused of branding female followers with his initials as part of an initiation.’
That covers Senator Gillibrand until sometime in November of 2017.
But this raises the question:If Senator Gillibrand now knows her father worked for a vicious sex slave ring for four months, not in the early 1990s but specifically in a four month span of time in 2004, why should she not be investigated so we can be sure she too was not an employee of, or a recruiter for NXIVM?
As an attorney, and therefore an officer of the court, Kirsten Rutnik Gillibrand must ask for an FBI investigation of her involvement with Nxivm to prove she was not working for Keith Raniere in 2004!
This has to be done before we can allow Senator Gillibrand to stand for re-election this November.
Senator Gilibrand has said that she worked on “abused women” cases during her time as an active lawyer in Albany.
Was she recruiting women for Keith Raniere?
How can we ever be sure about her until the FBI clears her?
She told a friend.
I typed this before; I’ll type it again.
Every time we see “Kavanaugh” in a headline, we should see “Ellison” in the discussion. We should read about the 9-1-1 calls backing Karen Monahan’s allegations how Ellison beat up on her. We should read about the medical record she released as support for her allegation.
As of this post, around five percent of Democrats believed Monahan’s allegations of domestic abuse in a recent poll conducted by Minnesota Public Radio and the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. 800 likely voters comprised the sample.
So Democrats, what say you? If you’re that skeptical of allegations made against your DNC co-chair, why should you express shock and horror when supporters of Kavanaugh don’t believe a 30+ year-old sexual assault allegation with zero documentation?
(except of course, “She said, he said.”)
This discussion shouldn’t be about “She said, he said.” Instead, we need hearings with intellectual honesty and news reporting integrity. I suggest we have not seen this happen so far.
...and if she knew of sexual abuse going on, why didn’t New York Democrat Senator Kristen Gillibrand report this to law enforcement?
Attorney-client privilege doesn’t apply when the two are planning to commit crime. I think that’s the argument... well, say, wasn’t that the argument against Michael Cohen in his dealings with Mr. Trump?
contact him, I did, for what it’s worth. Someone must read them and if they get enough demands to go forward with the confirmation...maybe
https://www.grassley.senate.gov/constituents/questions-and-comments
I suspect “something” happened. I suspect she had multiple sexual encounters, maybe thru peer pressure or maybe due to lack of parental guidance, and later regretted it. I suspect her politics has driven her to condemn herself. But she doesn’t want to admit to any blame, so she makes up accusations to cover her own role.
IOW, I think she is nuts. But I think the cure she needs is NOT modern psychiatry, but Jesus Christ. She goes to rallies in a pussy hat when she needs to go to church, repent...and receive forgiveness.
The only “trauma” this fraud “suffered” is being a LIB loser who lies, deceives, plots and practices sedition. I hope this dishonest degenerate is sued, losing any assets she has. Her “trauma” is being such a bad person.
The reps should release the names of the Congress Critters who paid off their sexual assault victims with a secret taxpayer slush fund.
I think the dems have the republicans fighting the wrong battle. The battle shouldn’t be about did Kavanaugh do something to Ford or not. It’s about the dems not performing their sworn official constitutional duties in good faith. When it was found out that the Dems sat on the Ford’s story for months and then at the last minute brought it out they should have halted everything, scolded the democrats publicly for dereliction of duty then held the vote. Advise and consent does not mean disrupt and obstruct. If they had legitimate concerns about Kavanaugh/Ford, that should have been the first thing they brought up. Since it was the last, I suspect it the most.
Once again the dems are using a page from the Rules for Radicals and beating us with our own virtue. The republicans fall for it every time. Trump is the only one I can remember that didn’t play by those rules and slammed it right back to them.
Well stated.
