“Monica Lewinsky ends on-stage interview after being asked Clinton question”
The irony…drips.
The woman’s ONLY claim-to-fame notoriety is a blue dress in the Oval Office…
…what else does she think caused her to get ‘the interview’?
But, that’s Bill Clinton for ya…
…he didn’t always prey on the sharpest pencil in the box.
There is a simple, effective solution to disruptive Senate confirmation hearings…
…pass a Senate rule that every minute lost due to disruptive behavior will be charged against the Party that would be expected to be in opposition to a President’s nominee.
As the Kavanaugh hearing descended into chaos yesterday, we wonder how many of those disruptors gave consideration to the fact they are delaying the people’s work.
Ask Chuck Schumer if the solution has merit – there’s a standing joke on Capitol Hill that it’s life-threatening to get caught between Senator Schumer…and a camera.
Especially for Democrats, nominee hearings have devolved into on-camera posturing.
Disruptive behavior from the hearing audience and from rule-trampling Senators have no bearing on the process of confirming judicial nominees…other than to disrupt.
Disingenuous political Parties should not be allowed to benefit from such behavior, and applying disruptive-tactic time to their opportunity to vet nominees makes sense.
It forces Senators to follow their own rules; it forces Senators to choose between their photo-op…or their invited guest’s photo-op; and it restores order to the process.
It’s not about photo-ops…it’s about ensuring sound appointments to the judiciary.
And then, of course, there’s always Plan B…no televised hearings.
Nike has decided to use Colin Kaepernick as their latest Just Doom It symbol.
Kaepernick started the ‘take-a-knee’ NFL trend, based on an assertion that wide-spread racism, oppression and unnecessary deadly force by police, is ongoing against blacks.
Statistics and events prove the lie…but the take-a-knee National Anthem protests go on. As for police deadly force, it’s in line with hugely disproportionate black crime rates.
‘White’ America just elected a black president TWICE, and the black American income class as a group are among the richest in that demographic in the world. Seems like Kaepernick et al have a very distorted idea of what constitutes endemic racism.
And now, Nike implies darling-of-the-Left Kaepernick ‘sacrificed’ something?
What? Can’t be his job. Can’t be his following. Can’t be his income.
He was a lousy quarterback, and yet he’s gained celebrity status and endorsements pushing a LIE about America being racist, and police wantonly killing black men.
So, we’d like to ask Nike to fill us in on the ‘everything’ Kaepernick’s sacrificed.
And their ‘believe in something’ lead BEGS the question…even if it’s a LIE?
Can’t wait to hear what they have to say.
DOJ official Ohr ‘kept Andrew Weismann in the loop‘ regarding the dirt dossier used (at first) to undermine the Trump candidacy, and then the Trump presidency.
The Steele dossier is a fraud, created to perpetrate a hoax. Mueller’s chief deputy on the special counsel ‘collusion’ probe team is – none other than Andrew Weissmann.
Who better to nurture that fraud, than a lawyer knowledgeable in the art of fraud?
Weissmann’s familiarity with a fraudulent dossier birthing a hoax begs the question…
“Weissmann Fake Dossier Knowledge Should Shut Mueller Down“
“Weissmann had to know that the dossier was fake and that its use in obtaining FISA warrants to conduct surveillance on Team Trump and provide a predicate for the Mueller witch-hunt was a fraud committed upon the FISA court. If he knew, Robert Mueller should have known. Their proceeding with their “investigation” into Team Trump based on the fraudulently obtained FISA warrants is more than an abuse of power. It is a criminal act.” (bold, underline emphasis added)
Criminal act, indeed.

“Kavanaugh’s daughters rushed out of chaotic, ‘hot’ hearing“
Senate hearings for Supreme Court nominee Kavanaugh went up in flames as crazed protestors screamed and partisan-induced Senate Democrats obstructed today.
Any expectation of decorum within the Senate hearing was quickly dashed, and many are speculating that the raging protestors were Democrat-orchestrated (ya think?).
Kavanaugh’s wife quickly ushered their 10 and 13 year-old daughters from the room.
What should have been a pride-filled event for them turned into a scary reality of what our political system has become – not an exchange of ideas, but the 3rd ring of Hell.
Can any honest Democrat in America claim to be proud of this travesty?
In the legal process, when ‘settled law’ is shown as bad law, it gets changed.
As the hysterics rage over the Kavanaugh Senate hearings, those with a vested interest in keeping the Roe-v-Wade abortion law in place hype the ‘settled law’ concept, but…
…at one time long ago, slavery was ‘settled law’…
…and men-only voting was ‘settled law’…
…which begs the question.
“Guess who’s setting up Trump’s improving economy for a huge crash”
State budgets are a spending disaster waiting to happen, according to this article.
In all seriousness, the title of our blog is misleading…they know The Math.
The inconvenient truth is ‘kick-can-down-the-road’ politicians are not stupid, but they are manipulative, self-serving, and deceitful…which means that the looming disaster is…
…deliberate.
