Never Let Politicians Decide What Is True- For liars, truth is relative.

We are living through an age that has abandoned the dedicated pursuit of truth. Our politicians and news personalities talk about “the narrative.” Our academies teach young minds to accept “expert opinion.” Our philosophers argue that truth is “subjective.” Social theorists argue that truth is an “illusion” that powerful people use to control others.

Whenever I hear Democrat Senator Cory Booker all riled up on television, he’s talking about “her truth,” “his truth,” or even “their truth” — as if a hundred conflicting descriptions of the same event could all be truthful.

During Justice Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings, Democrats called Dr. Christine Blasey Ford to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Ford claimed that Kavanaugh had sexually assaulted her in 1982 when both were in high school. Kavanaugh vehemently denied the allegation and argued that many parts of Ford’s story didn’t add up. When Kavanaugh told the senators that the whole thing was a political spectacle being used as a weapon to derail his confirmation, Senator Booker shouted, “Are you calling her some kind of political operative?” Kavanaugh calmly pointed out, “The witnesses who were there [the party at which Blasey Ford claimed the alleged assault occurred] say it didn’t happen.” Kavanaugh then stated that, although Blasey Ford’s allegations were false and harmful, his “family has no ill will toward her.”

This is how Booker responded to Justice Kavanaugh’s total denial of the allegation against him: “She came forward. She sat here. She told her truth.” Her truth. Not the truth. The “truth” that was most likely to help Democrats “Bork” Kavanaugh’s nomination — just as then-Senator Joe Biden and fellow Democrats tried to do during Justice Clarence Thomas’s confirmation hearings back in ’91 when they brought in a witness who claimed that Thomas had made “unwelcome sexual comments”

Or Ken Paxton - who is ferociously corrupt, a documented liar, and serial adulterer (who unlike Trump, cheated *while* in office) but he seeks to put the 10 Commandments he brazenly breaks on the daily - in every TX classroom.

But at the end of the day, he is running against a guy that says there’s 6 genders. So I’m sure the voters of TX will come out for Ken, but many will do so squeezing their noses. That’s what lesser of two evils means.

So whatever happened to Kavanaugh accuser Christine Blasey Ford?

Following her 2018 testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee regarding her sexual assault allegation against now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford has continued her career in academia while navigating the long-term personal impacts of the highly publicized event.

Here is an update on her life and work as of 2024–2026:

<><>Academic Career: Dr. Blasey Ford remains a professor of psychology in the PGSP-Stanford Consortium for Clinical Psychology, a program affiliated with Palo Alto University and Stanford University.

<><>Works as a research psychologist and consulting bio-statistician at Stanford Medical School.

<><>Wrote her Memoir “One Way Back” released In March 2024, in which she details her life before the hearing, the decision to come forward, and the aftermath.

<><>Following the 2018 hearing, Ford and her family faced, and for some time continued to face, “unending” death threats and harassment. These threats forced her and her family to move multiple times and live in secure locations.

<><>She has described a period of depression following the hearings, which she referred to as her “gray blanket phase,” during which she struggled with the trauma and the loss of her former life, as noted in her interviews surrounding her book release.

She has used her experience to support other trauma survivors. A GoFundMe campaign set up for her in 2018 raised over $647,000 to pay for security and security-related expenses.”One Way Back” Title Meaning: The title of her book is a reference to her love of surfing, comparing the experience of speaking out to “paddling out past the break in the waves, with only one way to get back to land—through the waves”.

Dr. Blasey Ford has continued to live in California with her husband and two sons, maintaining her professional life while managing the lasting effects of her public testimony.
