Sen. Mazie Hirono (D., Hawaii) sent a fundraising email on Thursday less than 30 minutes into the opening remarks of the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing about how she has been “fighting the Republicans who are desperate to rush Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination and deny a fair investigation into credible sexual misconduct allegations against him.”
Two other people who Ford alleges were at the party in question have also denied any knowledge of the party or sexual assault.
Ask yourself the following question: Is the repugnant and egregious behavior of the Democrats on Senate Judiciary Committee and their enablers the hill they want to die on? Is the hideous, unfounded, but well-coordinated attack on Judge Brett Kavanagh worth it, considering that President Trump may have the opportunity to nominate not one, but perhaps two more people to the Supreme Court during his tenure in the White House?

MEANWHILE: While the Left was busy going bonkers over the dire threat of Kavanaugh becoming a Supreme Court Justice, the Senate confirmed EIGHT more of Trump’s judicial nominees.
Harry Reid was a repulsive little worm, crooked as a dog’s hind leg, and vile as the rest of the liberal elites that infest the country. When the GOP retook the House in 2010, it was Reid who stopped every bit of legislation they sent so Obama wouldn’t have to make any decisions other than his own desires. Since much of the socialists’ agenda has been passed through judicial fiat, Reid changed the Senate rules to only require a simple majority to push as many radicals through as possible. Act in haste, repent in leisure. Continue reading →
While the Democrats posture of Kavanaugh’s nomination, a slew of judges are being confirmed without much fanfare. These judges will make a difference for years to come.
President Donald Trump recorded a robocall for Rep. Barletta during the state’s Republican primary, urging voters to back the former Hazelton mayor. Continue reading →
Comments Off on Barletta Wins Primary for PA Senate
This is just as important as many other things the President is doing.
For the third time in the Trump administration, Senate Judiciary Chairman Charles E. Grassley has moved forward with a confirmation hearing for an appeals court nominee over the objections of Democratic home-state senators
Many people have bemoaned the demise of the filibuster and now the blue slip. It certainly reflects a decline in senatorial courtesy. It’s bad news for individual senators, who now have less power to scuttle nominations.
In the Senate, a blue slip is an opinion written by a Senator from the state where a federal judicial nominee resides. Both senators from a nominee’s state are sent a blue slip in which they may submit a favorable or unfavorable opinion of a nominee. They may also choose not to return a blue slip. What was originally meant as a courtesy has been abused by some Senators to stall Trump’s nominees.
Boy, that feeled good.
That noise you hear is my former Honors English teacher, the late Mrs. Gladys Ford, rolling in her grave. She was the best I ever knew.
Democrats, women candidates score big in Texas primaries
THEY WERE ANTICIPATING LANDSLIDES ACROSS THE STATE. WHAT IT WAS, WAS A LOT OF EARLY VOTERS.
The AP touted gains made by women and minorities, but a closer look at results wasn’t all that impressive. The Democrats didn’t get the numbers they wanted. AUSTIN, Texas — Women running for Congress surged to big wins and Democrats smashed recent turnout levels in Texas’ first-in-the-nation 2018 primary elections, giving Republicans a potential glimpse of what’s ahead in the first midterms under President Donald Trump.
Energized and angry Democrats in Texas, where the GOP has dominated for decades, came out in force to surpass 1 million voters Tuesday — the first time the party has eclipsed that benchmark in a midterm primary since 2002, just months after the Sept. 11 attacks. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/democrats-women-candidates-score-big-in-texas-primaries/ar-BBJV2Oe?li=BBnbfcL&ocid=UE12DHP
THERE WAS ONE BIG DEMOCRAT WINNER….SOROS BOUGHT ANOTHER DA Soros Chalks Up Another DA Win After Dropping Nearly $1 Million In Texas Race George Soros has effectively purchased another district attorney’s seat.
The left-wing billionaire pumped almost $1 million into a Texas district attorney’s race against a Democratic DA who opposes sanctuary cities, according to campaign filings reviewed by The Daily Caller News Foundation.
Soros’s preferred candidate, Joe Gonzales, upset incumbent Bexar County DA Nico LaHood in the Democratic primary Tuesday. LaHood conceded after Gonzales jumped up to a sizable lead as votes were counted. http://dailycaller.com/2018/03/06/soros-district-attorney-win-texas/
Ted Cruz worries: Texas could turn blue this year This is mostly hype, a case of Cruz trying to steer the absurd Democratic expectations about Texas to his own ends by scaring donors into kicking in, but he’s not talking complete nonsense. And since Texas holds its primaries today, it’s worth paying some attention to it. https://hotair.com/archives/2018/03/06/ted-cruz-worries-texas-turn-blue-year/
Parkland Shooting Survivor to Sue Broward School District After Deputy Accused of Failing to Act
Parkland student Anthony Borges, who was shot five times during the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School massacre, plans to sue the Broward County school system “to cover the cost of his recovery.” GOOD ON HIM. I’M SICK OF SEEING THE BIRTH UNITS OF VICIOUS THUGS WHO PAID THE PRICE FOR TRYING TO KILL COPS GET REWARDED WITH MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. I HOPE THIS KID GETS THE SHERIFFS’ HOUSE
‘The failure of Broward County Public Schools, and of the principal and school resource officer to adequately protect students, and in particular our client, from life-threatening harm were unreasonable, callous and negligent,’ attorney Alex Arreaza wrote in the lawsuit notice on Monday. ‘Such action or inaction led to the personal injuries sustained by my client.’
The lawsuit is likely to be the first of many filed by survivors and victims’ families.C http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2018/03/parkland-shooting-survivor-sue-broward-school-district-deputy-accused-failing-act/

They’re not your kids. They belong to the state now.
Dear Jim – Got this from a friend of mine with two children in a ******, NJ school district… They are planning for a walkout on March 14th. His children are 9 years old.
Nothing like the Hitlerian way the left uses children as tools.

CNN Travels To Thailand To Speak With Prostitute Who Claims To Have Dirt On Trump CNN is dispatching reporters around the world to help dig up clues and finally get to the bottom of the Trump campaign’s Russia ties. Last month the network infamously sent a reporter to St. Petersburg, where he literally dug around a dumpster looking for leads.
Today CNN sent a reporter to Bangkok to speak with a prostitute who claims to have the goods on the Trump camp’s alleged collusion with Russia. The woman, Anastasia Vashukevich, who is also a self-described “sex coach,” is currently imprisoned, and hopes that America will offer her asylum in exchange for her story.
CNN apparently found this tale credible enough to send a reporter to cover.
And they don’t call them the Clown News Network for Nothing……
How Close Is America to Outright Gun Confiscation? Very Close. What you have above are four crystal clear examples of a former president and an almost-president, both of them leaders of the Democrat Party, openly speaking out in favor of gun confiscation — which is precisely what both are talking about when they extol the wondrous virtues of “what Australia did.”
What happened in Australia was that the government sponsored a gun buyback in which Australians were forced to hand their guns in. That is confiscation, full stop.
Nevertheless, despite four crystal clear examples, the Washington Post fact checkers have said that it is a lie to accuse either Hillary or Obama of wanting to confiscate guns. http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/03/05/nolte-close-america-outright-gun-confiscation-close/
NAACP Urges National Gun Confiscation NAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson called for a national gun confiscation program in a syndicated column through Black Press USA on Monday.
Comparing recent school shootings to the violence and discrimination black students faced after the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision, Johnson wrote that “fear and terror still exist in our children’s classrooms” because of the “National Rifle Association and the politicians [sic] that support them.” http://dailycaller.com/2018/03/06/naacp-gun-confiscation/
Senate clears two more judicial nominees, 27 total judges confirmed Karen Gren Scholer was confirmed to the Northern District of Texas Monday by a vote of 95-0. The Senate also voted 85-11 to confirm Tilman Eugene Self III to the Middle District of Georgia.
Mr. Trump has placed 27 judges on the federal bench since taking office last January, when he faced an unprecedented amount of judicial vacancies. Fourteen of the 28 judicial picks took seats on circuit courts, while the other 13 nominees filled vacancies on district courts.
There are nearly five dozen more judicial nominees currently awaiting either hearings before members on the Judiciary Committee or votes before the full Senate. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/mar/5/judges-karen-scholer-tilman-self-iii-confirmed-sen/
When Melania and Mrs. Netanyahu met, people did a double take. Then people saw the ice-cold stilettos Love her or not, it’s becoming clear that Melania Trump will go down in history as one of America’s most beautiful and fashion-forward icons.
Melania, in powder blue, was seemingly color coordinated with Sara Netanyahu, who wore a light teal ensemble for the couple’s official visit to the U.S.
Both women were stunning, but Melania literally stood out with skyscraping metallic stilettos of the same color.
MSNBC Host to DNC Chair: Should Dems Demand Trump Impeachment? In a softball interview with Democratic National Committee chairman Tom Perez on Monday afternoon, MSNBC anchor Kasie Hunt asked if the Democratic Party should make the impeachment of President Trump part of its platform. She also invited the liberal leader to wildly speculate on whether Trump was guilty of colluding with Russia during the 2016 campaign. https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/kyle-drennen/2018/03/05/msnbc-host-dnc-chair-should-dems-demand-trump-impeachment
Now There’s a Play Called ‘Kill Climate Deniers,’ Because Why Not
Do you know anyone who denies that there’s such a thing as climate? Do you know anybody who hears the word “climate” and says, “Nuh-uh! You can’t fool me, that’s just made up!” I don’t. Yet whenever somebody questions any aspect of the prevailing global warming orthodoxy, he or she is labeled a “climate denier.”
Sounds like a real crowd-pleaser. They even made a trailer of sorts for it:

Barry had reportedly been working on negotiations with Nashville District Attorney Glenn Funk to face no prosecution if she were to resign from office. Instead of jail, Barry will serve three years of probation and agreed to repay the city $11,000 in reimbursement fees, although it was reported she spent nearly $33,000 of the government’s money. http://dailycaller.com/2018/03/06/democratic-nashville-mayor-pleads-guilty/

Dick Durbin Calls No Amnesty ‘Humanitarian Crisis’ While Blacks Overly Unemployed in His State
“This humanitarian crisis in this country, and I call it that,” Durbin said. “Was created by President Trump on September 5th.”
President Trump, in contrast to Durbin, has secured historic wage increases, job opportunities, and record-low unemployment for black Americans through his strict immigration enforcement initiative known as “Buy American, Hire American,” which has weeded many illegal aliens out of the U.S. workforce.
The black unemployment sits at 6.8 percent nationwide, the lowest ever in history since the Bureau of Labor Statistics began tracking black unemployment in 1972.
TRUMP HAS MADE JOBS POSSIBLE FOR BLACKS, BUT HE WILL BE GIVEN ABSOLUTELY NO CREDIT. KEEP ‘EM ON THE DEMOCRAT PLANTATION. http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/03/05/watch-dick-durbin-calls-no-amnesty-humanitarian-crisis-while-blacks-overly-unemployed-in-his-state/

Shootings at the funerals of Chicago-area gang members have surged to the point that police now say they are “out of control.”

Illegal Aliens With Sex, Robbery Convictions Among The 800 Who Evaded Capture After Dem Mayor’s Warning
Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf tweeted out an impending warning of the four-day raid last week, alerting targeted individuals to the imminent arrests, and infuriating Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials, who say that many more could have been caught if they hadn’t been warned.
The raid led to the arrest of 232 illegal immigrants in the San Francisco Bay Area, 180 of which ICE said “were either convicted criminals, had been issued a final order of removal and failed to depart the United States, or had been previously removed” from the country and had come back illegally. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/03/06/illegal-immigrants-with-sex-robbery-convictions-among-those-who-evaded-capture-after-dem-mayors-warning.html

Perez: DCCC Shouldn’t Attack Democrats They Haven’t Endorsed
On Tuesday, Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) released a “much-less redacted,” version of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s criminal referral of dossier author Christopher Steele.
It shows that the FBI KNEW Steele LIED about his contact with media outlet and DID NOT disclose this very pertinent information to the FISA court.
Trump’s lawyers reportedly don’t want him talking to Mueller – It’s advice he should take
There is no evidence Robert Mueller needs from Donald Trump – it’s a trap Trump should avoid unless and until the Supreme Court rules otherwise. Those characteristics, while they proved valuable against the comatose and drab Hillary, could be a disaster in an interview with Mueller. Mueller’s team is very experienced in these perjury and obstruction traps. They will not ask any questions they don’t already know the answer to, and the questions they ask will not be posed to obtain information. They have all the information. They will be probing not for information, but for mistakes.
Don’t do it. I don’t know what power Mueller would have to compel testimony, but nothing should be done voluntarily.

Schumer Delivers Most Unhinged Rant Yet: Trump ‘Most Dangerous and Worst Man’ Ever To Be POTUS
“We are dealing with probably the most dangerous and worst man in the presidency we have ever had in the history of this nation, but we are going to win the fight,” Schumer told the crowd.
“If we can take back the Senate, that means that I will have the sole power to determine what goes on the floor of the Senate,” he added. “It means we’ll be able stop Donald Trump from putting all his junk on the floor and stop the anti-LGBT cascade of things that come into the United States Senate,” the Senate Minority Leader continued.
Baltimore Mayor Debuts Crime Prevention Office to Support Black Males Mayor Catherine Pugh announced a new office, to be called the Office of African American Male Engagement, which she says will begin operations on February 12. It is modeled after a similar venture in Philadelphia, where it is called the Office of Black Male Engagement.
The mayor also said she has picked former city high school principal and mayoral candidate Andrey Bundley to helm the office.
“The reason the office is important is because too many black men are either the perpetrators of crime or victims of it,” Bundley said, according to the Baltimore Sun. “It is about saving lives.” http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2018/02/05/baltimore-mayor-debuts-crime-prevention-office-support-black-males/
Judge criticized by Trump may end up determining fate of border wall, report says
US District Judge Gonzalo Curiel, whom President Trump accused of being biased in handling the Trump University case during the 2016 election, will hear a case on Friday to decide whether the president’s proposed wall along the southern border can get waivers for environmental laws.
If Curiel rules against President Trump, the administration’s effort to secure the border between the US and Mexico could come to a halt.
Curiel, an Indiana native who was nominated to the federal bench by Barack Obama in 2011, was criticized by the president in 2016 for certifying class-action lawsuits that claimed Trump University was fraudulent. http://www.bizpacreview.com/2018/02/06/judge-criticized-trump-may-end-determining-fate-border-wall-report-says-598728
The 2018 Elections Just Got A Bit Easier For Democrats Thanks To The Supreme Court
The Pennsylvania legislature will redraw the state’s congressional district lines in advance of the 2018 midterm elections, after the Supreme Court Monday declined to overturn an order requiring a new map.
The decision is a victory for Pennsylvania Democrats, who convinced the state supreme court in January that the current map is gerrymandered to favor Republicans, in violation of the state constitution. The court ordered the GOP-controlled legislature to produce a new map by Feb. 9. http://dailycaller.com/2018/02/05/samuel-alito-supreme-court-2018-elections/

Homelessness in Los Angeles Has Surged by 75 Percent in Six Years
“by far the biggest single group of unsheltered people in any U.S. city”
Three out of four homeless people — 41,000 — live in cars, campers, tents and lean-tos, by far the biggest single group of unsheltered people in any U.S. city. If you took out Los Angeles, national homelessness would have dropped last year for the first time since the recession.
The problem has only gotten worse since Mayor Eric Garcetti took office in 2013 and a liberal Democratic supermajority emerged in 2016 on the county Board of Supervisors.

Judge Rules Bakeshop Owner Doesn’t Have To Bake Wedding Cake For Gay Couple
“For this court to force such compliance would do violence to the essentials of Free Speech guaranteed under the First Amendment,” Lampe ruled, according to a press release sent to The Daily Caller News Foundation. The injunction also posited that if Miller refused to design the cake, the state would force her to close her Tastries Bakery shop altogether.
LiMandri argued in Friday’s court hearing that Miller doesn’t discriminate against same-sex couples, but refuses to use her artistic talents to express a message that conflicts with her religious beliefs about marriage. http://dailycaller.com/2018/02/06/cake-shop-owner-wedding-cake-gay-couple/
