Reade v. Ford

2020_05 05 biden v kavanaugh

As of right now, Tara Reade has far more evidence backing her sexual assault allegation against Joe Biden than Christine Blasey Ford ever had against Brett Kavanaugh.

Reade alleges that Biden assaulted her in the summer of 1993.

  1. A clip from Larry King Live from August 1993, the last month Reade worked for Biden’s Senate office, features a mother expressing concern about her daughter’s insurmountable “problems” working for a prominent senator’s office. Reade had mentioned that she told her mother and that her mother had called the show anonymously before the clip resurfaced.
  2. Absolutely no one contests that Reade worked for and knew Biden.
  3. On-the-record corroboration from Reade’s former neighbor Lynda LaCasse says Reade gave her a detailed account of the assault just two or three years after it happened.
  4. Reade’s brother and a close friend have both confirmed that Reade told them about the assault at the time it occurred.
  5. A woman who worked with Reade in the mid-1990s said Reade told her “she had been sexually harassed by her former boss while she was in D.C., and as a result of her voicing her concerns to her supervisors, she was let go, fired.”

May the Force of Andrew Klavan Be With You

Klavan’s episode today is totally awesome and so worth watching that I am giving it its own blog posting. I strongly encourage all my highly intelligent and deeply thoughtful readers (which, of course, is all of you!) to give it your precious time and attention.

Click to see it on Facebook [28:54] or YouTube [46:57].

A few gems to whet your appetite …

Trump is making federalism great again.

Governors refusing to reopen are mainly motivated by fear of the media.

Without freedom, there can be no liberty.

If the government mandates it, then it’s not charity.

An awesome clip comparison between President Trump and Chicago’s mayor talking about those protesting continued lockdown.

We have seen the press stripped naked in this crisis.

The press went ballistic about how outrageous it was for President Trump to say he was treated worse than Lincoln who was assassinated. What Trump actually said was he has been treated worse than Lincoln by the press.

Click  to hear a rare message from former President George W. Bush, encouraging us all in this difficult time.

WU FLU: Secretary of State Mike Pompeo [3:37] The evidence strongly supports the conclusion that COVID-19 was a naturally occurring virus that escaped from a sloppily run lab and that the ChiComs then allowed the entire world to become infected by it.

Part of this is confusing, because they got their negatives muddled and ended up trying to say the same thing three times.

TRUMP APPROVAL RATING: Given the dominance of the coronavirus situation in Americans’ minds, it is not surprising that the president’s overall job approval rating nearly matches his approval rating on COVID-19.

The latest poll showed a big jump among Independents, from 39% in April to 47% now. Forty-seven percent is the highest mark Trump has received from Independents during his presidency. Continue reading

Chris Cuomo Lies Some More

Hypocrisy makes me nuts!

2020_05 03 chris cuomo

March 31, 2020: Chris Cuomo tested positive for COVID-19. He continued to work, anchoring his CNN show from his basement where he claimed he was quarantined to protect his family.

April 12, 2020: Chris Cuomo packed his family into the car and took a 30-minute drive from their home in Southampton to some property they are building on in East Hampton. A biker recognized him and criticized him for breaking quarantine.

According to the biker, Cuomo got angry. “He said, ‘Who the hell are you?! I can do what I want!’ He just ranted, screaming, ‘I’ll find out who you are!’ I said to him, ‘Your brother is the coronavirus czar, and you’re not even following his rules — unnecessary travel. He just began to boil more. He said, ‘This is not the end of this. You’ll deal with this later. We will meet again.’ If that’s not a threat, I don’t know what is.

The biker says he filed a report with the East Hampton police, because he hates bullies and wanted to get something on the record. He also said the police gave him “a huge pushback” about the report. Continue reading

COVID-19: Start getting your life back, but do it carefully, because COVID-19 is not over. As U.S. history shows, the danger of second waves is something to think about. For instance, the second wave of the Spanish flu resulted in the highest number of American deaths. Unfortunately, there are already reports of second waves of COVID-19 in Japan, Singapore, and China.

Chris Cuomo, thy name is HYPOCRITE

2020_05 02 cuomo hypocrite

Hypocrisy was the word of the day over on CNN’s PrimeTime, where host Chris Cuomo spent a portion of Tuesday’s show ripping Vice President Mike Pence for not wearing a face mask during a visit to the Mayo Clinic.

Pence said he didn’t need one, because he had recently been tested and didn’t have the virus.

Chris Cuomo sneered at Pence saying, “If you’re supposed to wear a mask, you should wear a mask. … We don’t know that you’re 100 percent not contagious when you test negative.”

Rules for thee, but not for me” may as well be the Cuomo family motto. Continue reading
