Whoa. This was unexpected. President Trump has accepted Nikk Haley’s resignation from her position as United Nations Ambassador. There will be an official announcement shortly.
I apologize in advance, because I’m about to write a whole bunch of stupid stuff.
As I said over on Twitter this weekend: The fact that Chuck Todd and the Meet the Press producers even thought to take Alyssa Milano seriously, then interviewed her, and then actually aired the interview is pretty much everything wrong with modern journalism. The fact that the host gave barely any push back to one of the most ridiculous claims I’ve ever seen made on an alleged “news show” represents everything wrong with Chuck Todd.
Earlier today, Dan discussed Leland Ingham Keyser. She’s the “lifelong friend” of Christine Blasey Ford – the woman Ford listed as a witness but who has, repeatedly, refused to corroborate Ford’s claims. Ford claims that Keyser was the only other woman present at the time of her alleged assault, and Keyser says she has no memory of the either the attack or the party where it supposedly took place.
Keep your fingers crossed, and don’t take anything for granted, but it sure sounds like things are grim in Democrat-land.
How much would you like to bet that the Democrats’ lofty opinion of the FBI will suddenly evaporate?
What an absolute garbage human being.
They will, once again, fail. So, enjoy not watching their tantrum. I know I will.
This is your Democratic Party, America. And you thought they were just having a bad moment when they nominated Hillary Clinton
Ever since creepy porn lawyer Michael Avenatti announced that he’d managed to dig up a third Kavanaugh accuser, people were understandably skeptical. Initially, there were sketchy reports about Julie Swetnick’s willingness to come forward. Then we learned her boyfriend had accused her of domestic violence and that she’d been involved in no less than six eyebrow-raising lawsuits over the last 25 years. Brett Kavanaugh referred to her claims as a “farce” and most sane people, even many on the left, seemed to agree.
Over the weekend, Kanye West appeared on Saturday Night Live. I haven’t watched SNL since they abandoned the idea of being a comedy show in favor of being a left-wing propaganda machine so, no, I didn’t see it live. However, you couldn’t swing a dead cat without hitting the clips that appeared on Youtube.
Last week, when sex crimes prosecutor Rachel Mitchell was questioning Christine Blasey Ford, she took a little flak from the right. There wasn’t a lot of it, but she did get dinged by a few writers who thought she was a bit of a milquetoast. Her questions, they argued, weren’t tough enough.
I would imagine that, if you’re an innocent man accused of running a gang-rape ring, you’d be a little peeved. If the people accusing you dragged you onto national television and demanded that you beg to be the subject of an FBI investigation, you’d more than likely get angry.
Throughout yesterday’s hearing, the shameless hack Democrats on the Judiciary Committee pressured Brett Kavanaugh to demand an FBI inquiry that would dig into his own past. Over, and over, and over again they asked him: “Will you call for an FBI investigation?”
Yesterday, just for the heck of it, I watched the Kavanaugh hearings on CNN. Why, I don’t know. Maybe I thought such a penance would shave a few years off my time in purgatory. Regardless, if you watched it as I did, you were treated to a disgusting display of bias and a series of almost gleeful panels that eagerly lapped up and described the testimony offered by Christine Blasey Ford. It was, in a word, vulgar.
Everyone, let’s have a big round of applause for Joe Biden! He’s the gift that keeps on giving. Not only is he a constant, ridiculous, gaffe-machine – he’s also one of the Democrats’ best and brightest hopes for 2020. For many, Crazy Uncle Joe represents just the right balance between genuine lefty and genial, blue-collar, every man. They think he can capture some of the populism, and patriotism, that propelled Trump to victory.
Chuck is scared, y’all.
For the last two weeks, Democrats have been demanding that Brett Kavanaugh’s accuser be allowed to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee. During that time, they’ve stalled, delayed, and offered a whole host of ridiculous excuses about why Christine Blasey Ford shouldn’t be forced to appear. She’s afraid of flying, doesn’t like the people who might question her, doesn’t care for the press, etc. After all of that, we STILL don’t know if she’s actually going to show up on Thursday. A confirmation vote has been scheduled for Friday, but no one has any idea if it will take place.
Uh-oh. The Democrats have a little bit of a Lisa Page problem.
As you know, Democrats have spent months portraying FBI lovebirds Peter Strzok and Lisa Page as good, honest, morally-upright agents who tried to do the right thing and were railroaded by an evil monster known as Donald Trump. Any effort to impugn their pre-and-post election efforts is met with a Democrat chorus singing “how dare you besmirch these heroes!”
UPDATE 3: After a day of “will they won’t they” that would put Ross and Rachel to shame, It turns out “they won’t” – at least for now. No one seems entirely sure what when down today at the White House, but the official story is coming to us via Press Secretary Sarah Sanders:
