The four major takeaways from today’s ‘hearing‘…

• While it’s a given that any allegation of sex-abuse must be heard, Ms. Ford had NO corroboration, proof, or evidence to support her claim that, if she was sexually assaulted as a teenager, Kavanaugh was the perpetrator;
• Brett Kavanaugh (rightfully) asserted at every opportunity the very ‘witnesses’ to the event (as claimed by Ms. Ford) all refute her claim, under penalty of perjury;
• Democrats, unable to counter that Ms. Ford’s identified ‘witnesses’ all refuted her claim, had to fall back on the ‘we-need-an-FBI-investigation’ delay tactic;
• Senate Republicans finally had on their Big-Boy pants today, slamming Senate Democrats for their delay tactics in the hearing process, i.e.
  • Feinstein kept secret Ms. Ford’s complaint letter since the end of July;
  • Failed to submit it to the Chairman, or address it in their interview process;
  • Failed to ask the FBI to check out the information in a timely manner;
  • Yet complained that Republicans wouldn’t (now) delay the hearing for an FBI probe they could have justified…if they’d presented the claim originally.

Especially forceful was GOP Senator Lindsey Graham’s blistering takedown of the way in which Senate Democrat Ranking Chair Feinstein manipulated the process.

If nothing else, watch his withering tirade.

South Carolina…you can be proud of that guy this afternoon.

Brett Kavanaugh showed a lot more reserve than we preferred (hoping during every Democrat question about ‘why not delay for an FBI probe?’ that he would suggest they ask their Democrat leadership why that hadn’t been done WEEKS AGO.)

But, finally, Republican Senators started throwing that question back at them.

Based on this hearing…there’s no good reason to delay a vote…or confirmation.

Never have we been so proud of Senate Republicans…

…and so ashamed of Senate Democrats.

“Ms. Ford, other than anonymous ‘friends’ who say you told them of the event AFTER 30 years, do you have any corroborating proof or evidence of your accusations?”

Molester! We saw you in the act.

When? Can’t remember.

Where? Not sure.

Witnesses? 3 or 4…maybe 6-8, names uncertain.

Who cares, anyway…it’s the seriousness of the charge that’s important here.

Prove your innocence.

Blumenthal, an undeserving senator for Connecticut, lied about serving in Vietnam.

It strikes a false note now, to claim ‘credibility’ as an important issue to him.

Regardless of the issue: Since when does he care about credibility?

The ‘politics ain’t beanbag’ quote is attributed to an 1890s fictional ‘Dooley’ character, written by Finley Peter Dunne, a chief editorial writer for the Chicago Post, meant as a retort to politicians of the day complaining about ‘rough-and-tumble’ campaigning.

Democrats and media, with a despicable anti-Kavanaugh campaign, take it lower.

We’re being subjected now to the Scum-Bag world of Democrat politics.

Washington Examiner op-ed: ‘Democrats claim there’s now a pattern of abusive behavior by Kavanaugh’…but – while the pattern’s there – the abusers are…

…the Democrats.

11th hour theatrics using despicable UNPROVEN allegations DEFINE ‘abusive’…

…and especially abusive if an accuser claims to forget ‘when’ it allegedly occurred, ‘where’ it allegedly happened, and ‘who’ else was allegedly involved or witnessed it…

…thus affording the accused NO OPPORTUNITY to defend themselves.

And calling for FBI probes AFTER withholding information that could’ve been included in the original FBI background checks is nothing more than political theater, writ large.

Pattern of abusive behavior? You bet.

And the politicians conducting it should be sanctioned.

Next time a Left-wing acquaintance hurls the ‘Kavanaugh-accusers-must-be-believed-without-proof’ screed in your face, just ask them why they molested the little old lady.

When they deny the accusation, explain to them that you witnessed it; you’re just not sure ‘when’ it happened, ‘where’ it happened, or how many others saw it happen.

Then, sit back and enjoy the hypocrisy.

“Consumer Confidence Jumps to 18-Year High on Strong Trump Economy”

As NewsMax.com reports: “U.S. consumer confidence surged to an 18-year high in September as households grew more upbeat about the labor market, pointing to sustained strength in the economy” The only ones surprised will be Democrats.

“Economists polled by Reuters had forecast the consumer index slipping to a reading of 132.0 this month from the previously reported 133.4 in August.” (emphasis added)

Cue ‘unexpected’ hysteria – but were those polled economists living in Siberian caves?

Seriously – household income…UP. New unemployment claims…DOWN. Minority and Women unemployment at historic LOWS. Manufacturing-jobs sector…GROWING…

…how hard can it be to read consumer confidence tea-leaves?

As the FakeNews cycle goes berserk covering an allegation of an ancient unproven claim against a Republican…it’s silent over real-time allegations against a Democrat.

There’s NO evidence against the Republican, but there is against the Democrat.

Which exposes their concept: Innocent…until proven Republican.

Sadly, even Republicans perpetuate this idiocy, as proven by this NY Post headline: “Murkowski backs FBI probe into Kavanaugh accusations“

Open message to Murkowski: Democrats really don’t want a probe, just sound-bytes. If they wanted a probe…they would have sent the accusing claim to the FBI in July.

Alaska doesn’t deserve this weak-kneed Republican for a Senator.

“Gallup: GOP Has Highest Favorability Rating in 7 Years“

Latest Gallup polling indicates a huge shift in Democrat-Republican favorability, with the GOP taking the lead from Democrats after decades of ‘leading from behind’.

Could this be indicative of a) the disgust many have with Democrat tactics, b) the strong economy, booming as a result of Republican policies, or c) a combination of the two?
