Victor Davis Hanson has also recently penned this piece of wisdom:
After thousands of hours of internal Senate and FBI investigations of Kavanaugh, as well as public discussions, open questioning, and media sensationalism, Ford remained unable to identify a single witness who might substantiate any of her narratives of an alleged sexual assault of nearly four decades past.
To substantiate her claim, the country was asked to jettison the idea of innocent until proven guilty, the need for corroborating testimony, witnesses, and physical evidence, the inadmissibility of hearsay, the need for reasonable statutes of limitations, considerations of motive, and the right of the accused to conduct vigorous cross-examination. That leap proved too much, especially when located in a larger progressive landscape of street theater antics, including Senate disruptions, walkouts, and sandbagging senators in hallways and elevators.
This and at the behest of a special interest who is not, I repeat is not, motivated by the good of all. This is much bigger than Ds or Rs, women, or abortion. I will vote accordingly
“To substantiate her claim, the country was asked to jettison the idea of innocent until proven guilty, the need for corroborating testimony, witnesses, and physical evidence, the inadmissibility of hearsay, the need for reasonable statutes of limitations, considerations of motive, and the right of the accused to conduct vigorous cross-examination.

Just learned: in the last few months the #FBI received over 1400 calls and emails saying Brett #Ķavanaugh raped them. #HystericalLiars. Ritual defamation.
7:27 PM – Oct 3, 2018
Sure 1400 calls and emails, but from how many different people? Even George Soros is not going to purchase over a thousand different victims.
I was wondering if the source was legitimate, but you make a good point. However, if it was just a handful of callers, they sure would have made themselves look stupid; the pendulum swings both ways.
We have Hillary Clinton, much adored by Liberals here in Canada and her dear Hubby Bill coming to visit on their talking tour or whatever. One thing for certain they cannot get away with having a thing to say about Senator Kavanaugh. Those two just don’t know how to just go away.

What the hell happened?
They didn’t call Kavenaugh a racist.
Did the left lose their cue cards or leave their song sheets on the train?
Spilled coffee on them?
Or are they going to start raving about him being a racist this week?
Has this ever happened before?
Have they ever not called their enemies racist?
They tried the race card, their go to slime, but it didn’t make a lot of sense with one affluent white accusing another.
While many commenters here understand why the DeMarxists went bonkers on Kavanaugh, the general public has yet to fully realize the purely ideological hatred of the man and the fear in what statists regard as the swing vote against their judiciary making law project, in fact dealing it a fatal blow for a generation. Even after this defeat, they retreat to pining about “packing the courts.”
It had nothing to do with race, gender or anything but the fact Trump picked him, but was what they thought, a convenient fascist cudgel in a desperate attempt to keep another originalist off the Court. It was all topped off with two sitting Justices publicly dissing Kavanaugh, proving his case that judges cannot be allowed to be lawmakers. Any “new” law that comes out of their judgments must still pertain to the Constitution; that is the leftist’s worst nightmare, not being able to bypass voters.
While the partisans remain rabid, independents two to one don’t care for the tactics of the left against Kavanaugh:

Yep. It appears as though EVEN people ovvvvv cullller can see through that absurdity. THAT plantation fence won’t keep dem coloreds from fleeing the Democrap Party in ever-larger numbers. The Dems have lost the plot, completely. They’re flailing, and throwing ALL of their feces against the wall in hope some sticks.
From the VDH link provided by John R . Bolton:
“A republic cannot survive any revolutionary movement that insist that its moral claims are so exalted that 2,500 years of Western jurisprudence must be jettisoned, as if “sincerity” established “believability” and believability in turn “credibility” — all without evidence, witnesses, or substantiated testimonies. The result of such ideas would be the nightmarish world of either a regimented Ninety Eighty-Four or the chaos of the Lord of the Flies.”
Dr. Hanson is a treasure. With his historical perspective and his living in the belly of the beast in California, his analyses always cut to the heart of the matter with surgical precision and without needless histrionics. I try to never miss any column or comment of his.
From Tony Heller, a very short video of Nancy Pelosi explaining the Democratic tactic of destroying innocent people. (Think about the Russian collusion claims, as well as the Kavanaugh situation.)

Thanks Don.
The ole Wrap Up Smear! What a sleazy bunch Pelosi and the Dems are. In explaining how this “political tactic” requires LYING and that they use it all the time is brazen to say the least. And in explaining this smear she makes it clear it couldn’t be done without a complicit media.
To her credit, Nancy Baby has pioneered a well recognised, supremely effective method of BIRTH CONTROL.
She uses HER FACE……
The one good thing that should have come out of all this over the last few weeks is that it has exposed the real motives of the Democratic Party and the left, ie not only to bring down Trump’s government but to permanently seize control and turn the US into a Socialist Republic. American voters have a clear choice over the next few elections hold onto their Democracy or embrace a Socialist style government. It has never been clearer then it is right now.
Exactly. The people of the US and Canada have been warned in the past by people like Yuri Bezmenov, and more recently by people like Mark Steyn and Victor Hanson, and others, that we are at serious risk of losing our liberal democracies.

Canada is already basically lost.
Obama taught the American left (while being worshiped by 2/3 of media-herded Canadians) that deceit is the cornerstone of social justice and progressive politics. He also displayed contempt for all those (deplorables) opposed to his attempt at fundamental transformation which cost the Dems loss of power at all levels but particularly the loss of the presidency to a wily loose cannon populist. That this could happen within a culture absolutely dominated by the institutional left has left them so shocked and stripped of comfort that the inner looter and thug of what they stand for is all they have of their souls exposed. When Obama was in power, the opposition behaved as one would expect in a civilized democratic republic. The left is obviously neither civilized nor democratic.
