Chuck Todd: Maybe Kavanaugh Should Withdraw, Spare Country ‘Tinderbox’ Hearing
Chuck Todd: Maybe Kavanaugh Should Withdraw, Spare Country ‘Tinderbox’ Hearing
"Appearing on Tuesday’s Today show, Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd suggested that the best course of action for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh might just be to withdraw rather than defend himself against sexual assault allegations during a public Senate hearing scheduled for Monday.
The NBC News Political Director feared that any hearing would be a “tinderbox” that could “erupt a culture war.”

“Chuck, tell us what your gut tells you about this nomination. Is this thing in real trouble do you think?,”asked co-host Hoda Kotb.
Todd replied: “I definitely think it’s in trouble.”
He then advanced the case for Kavanaugh quitting the confirmation process: “I think nothing would surprise me, including him, by the end of the week, if Judge Kavanaugh decides he doesn’t want to go through this, it isn’t worth it, he doesn’t want to – maybe he can win but he doesn’t want an asterisk – I mean, it wouldn’t surprise me if he chose to withdraw and chose to back down.”

So whether Kavanaugh is actually guilty or not apparently doesn’t matter, the media will place an “asterisk” next to his name regardless..."

Trump: Exposing FBI corruption would be 'a crowning achievement' - Washington Times:
President Trump said Wednesday that his order to declassify documents about FISA, Carter Page and the Russia probe is a “great service to the country” that could expose the special counsel investigation as a “hoax.”
In an interview with Hill.TV, Mr. Trump said the move is all about transparency but hopes to expose “something that is truly a cancer in our country.”

Republicans Set to Push Ahead With Kavanaugh Nomination
Republicans Set to Push Ahead With Kavanaugh Nomination:
Mr. Grassley responded that the committee wasn’t willing to wait for a full FBI investigation of Dr. Ford’s allegations.
“Dr. Ford’s testimony would reflect her personal knowledge and memory of events. Nothing the FBI or any other investigator does would have any bearing on what Dr. Ford tells the committee, so there is no reason for any further delay,” Mr. Grassley said in a statement Tuesday night.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, a Republican on the Judiciary committee, said Wednesday the committee should set a vote.

Letter: A case against the National Popular Vote
Letter: A case against the National Popular Vote:
My contention is that the popular vote at its heart is all about control. It hides under a mask of respecting the will of the people, but actually does the exact opposite. The sentiment of the vast majority of voters is shaped by the media rather than direct engagement with candidates or hands-on study of issues. It is much easier to control voter sentiments via a New York-based national media cabal than it is to control 50 unique laboratories of thought.
How does the media control voter sentiments? They control what news you hear and what news you don’t hear. They control which candidates you hear about and which you do not.

Is Gender Dysphoria a Fad? | Intellectual Takeout
"Camille Paglia recently suggested that the rise of gender dysphoria is simply the new face of the counter-culture.
Every adult knows the myriad challenges of adolescence.
The hormones.
The confusion.
The pressure.
It’s a period when it’s not unusual for teens to gain freedom, drift from Mom and Dad, and be introduced to alcohol, drugs, and sex.
This would be difficult enough, but children are then usually thrust into large schools with other teens.
And did I mention that all this is happening at an age when humans reach the zenith of base cruelty?
...When we think of teen rebellion in the modern era, we tend to think of a revolt against authority. Think James Dean or Jack Kerouac in the 1950s.
But many teens today seem to be rebelling against something greater: nature.
Gender dysphoria, a condition described as “strong, persistent feelings of identification with the opposite gender and discomfort with one's own assigned sex,” is quite common in young people today..."

What is Christine Braley Ford trying to hide?
What is Christine Braley Ford trying to hide?:
Most tellingly, before she came out as the accuser, she spent what must have been days scrubbing her social media accounts of all the lefty activities and statements she must have been involved in. That's the detail that stands out to me.
Why did she do that?
Just because someone is a lefty does not mean he can't be a victim of a high school groper. Left-wingers would be the very first to point this out. Why did she scrub it?
Obviously, because it was to conceal her political agenda and make her case stronger as that of a random objective woman telling the truth, not a lefty activist desperate to make a difference for the Democrats.
