Americans Are Flocking to Trump Rallies and Leaving the Democrat Party; Anti-Kavanaugh Senators Should Pay Attention

THE DEMOCRATS ARE IN CONTROL OF THE KAVANAUGH CONFIRMATION. That is no easy feat for a Party that controls neither the Senate nor the House nor the White House. We are in a dangerous situation right now. Those of us who follow the Swamp closely felt our stomaches fall when the Judiciary Committee GOP majority agreed to the Flake-Coons proposal to release Kavanaugh's name to the full Senate BUT with a week delay in the vote so the FBI could investigate. We knew at that moment that whatever happens in the next week -- or more likely several weeks -- will be manipulated by the ProgDems to their advantage and the GOP's loss. • • • THE FBI AND THE DEEP STATE. The FBI is still a suspect agency, with rumored leftover Deep State senior staff who are deeply opposed to President Trump and the Republican conservative agenda. So, we have every right to ask if the FBI can be trusted with the Kavanaugh investigation when it protected the Progressive Democrat Party during the entire Obama presidency, but is now supposd to objectively probe the allegation that Judge Kavanaugh is not morally fit to be confirmed to the Supreme Court. • Some like to think that the FBI has suddenly become 'unpoliticized' under President Trump's new Director Christopher Wray. Yet, as recently as June 25, Investor's Business Daily wrote that the FBI still was "stonewalling Congress" on the Russia investigation : "After Congress threatened impeachment, the Department of Justice and FBI reluctantly handed over classified documents related to the Russia investigation. But they still haven't fully complied with Congress' request. Is this just more Deep-State obstruction? Of course, that's a loaded question. Sure, the bureaucrats at DOJ and the FBI have a responsibility to keep the nation's secrets and to maintain the integrity of their own investigations. But they don't have a right to hold back information legitimately requested by Congress for its investigation into the highly questionable behavior of both the DOJ and FBI during the Russia-Trump investigation. A spokeswoman for House Speaker Paul Ryan said that the Department of Justice 'has partially complied with subpoenas from the House Intelligence and Judiciary committees after officials turned over more than a thousand new documents this week,' the Associated Press reported. It's that phrase 'partially complied' that sticks in our throat. Imagine 'partially complying' with a judge's order to tell the whole and complete truth in a court case. Or 'partially complying' with your requirement to file you taxes. Or 'partially complying' with a police officer's lawful order to stop. 'Partial' compliance isn't enough. Congress has repeatedly requested documents for its investigation, but has been denied. And we need to be absolutely clear here : Congress has oversight authority over both the Justice Department and FBI. So saying 'No' to Congress' request, unless it's grounded in serious national security concerns, is not acceptable. Period." Investor Business Daily added that : "Some in Congress aren't happy about all this. Republican Representative Mark Meadows of North Carolina is one of them. 'New reports of DOJ-FBI compliance with document requests are NOT accurate,' he tweeted. 'While they have turned over additional documents, the new documents represent a small percentage of what they owe. The notion that DOJ/FBI have been forthcoming with Congress is false." • And, IBD has a list of FBI anti-Trump positions on behalf of Hillary Clinton and the conspiracy to ruin Trump by labeling him a Russian "colluder." The list includes Congress wanting access, but not getting it so far, to transcripts of conversations between "confidential human sources" -- spies -- and Trump campaign officials. The list includes congressional Republicans seeking to understand how former British spy Christopher Steele, who compiled the now-infamous Trump Dossier, came to be paid by the Clinton campaign, the Democratic National Committee and the FBI. And, the list includes Congress wanting to look into how the FBI and DOJ used the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to spy on the Trump campaign. The IBD notes : "Stonewalling is an old strategy. Maybe the Deep State is hoping for a Blue Wave in November to get Congress off its back. Regardless, whether the US remains a healthy, law-abiding Republic or sinks to the level of other nations now ruled by corrupt elite bureaucracies is what's at stake here. Who decides what gets handed over -- a group of unelected bureaucrats, or the representatives of the American people? Americans deserve answers. They should demand them." • And, on July 23, the Boston Herald wrote : "Christopher Wray and Jeff Sessions must clean up FBI corruption or quit. FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Jeff Sessions are sitting squarely in the crosshairs of history. They must rise to the call of duty and clean up the corruption we are seeing unfold at the FBI or they must tender their resignations and be replaced by real leaders who will do what is necessary to restore public trust in our unraveling justice system....A powerful government agency that -- like the IRS under former President Barack Obama’s watch -- was unmistakably weaponized to target political opponents." Those are strong words. • • • PUTTING KAVANAUGH'S LIFE AND FUTURE AT RISK. Fox News reported late on Sunday that conservative GOP Senator Tom Cotton says Senator Feinstein will be investigated over a leaked letter by Kavanaugh's accuser. Actually, it is Feinstein's staff that will be investigated. Senator Cotton takes Feinstein at her word when when she said during last week's Judiciary Committee meetings : "I did not hide allegations or leak Ford's letter." Senator Feinstein was responding to Senators Cruz and Cornyn asking during the hearing how Dr. Christine Ford's letter was leaked to the public. Fox News says : "Senator Cotton said Sunday that Senator Feinstein’s office will be investigated to determine whether or not they leaked the confidential letter from Christine Blasey Ford that detailed allegations of sexual misconduct by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. Feinstein, who represents California and who is the ranking Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, had received the letter from Ford sometime over the summer and was asked to keep it confidential. At some point, however, the letter was leaked to the press, although Feinstein denies that anyone in her office is responsible. 'They have betrayed her,' Cotton said on CBS’ 'Face the Nation' about Ford. 'She has been victimized by Democrats...on a search-and-destroy mission for Brett Kavanaugh.' " • Fox News also reported that along with the investigation into Feinstein’s handling of the letter : "Cotton noted that lawyers recommended to Ford by Democrats will face a bar investigation in Washington, DC, for telling her that Senate Judiciary Committee staffers were unwilling to travel to California to interview her about her sexual-assault allegation." Fox News says that while the FBI will investigate two of the three allegations of sexual misconduct leveled at Kavanaugh -- those of Christine Blasey Ford and Deborah Ramirez, who has accused Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct when they were Yale classmates -- the FBI will not investigate the claims of Julie Swetnick, who accused Kavanaugh of excessive drinking and inappropriate treatment of women in the early 1980s. • And, not to be left behind by his Progressive-Socialist cronies, Senator Bernie Sanders says he wants the FBI to examine whether Kavanaugh perjured himself at the confirmation hearings. Liberty Headlines wrote on Sunday that : "Sanders wants the FBI to examine whether beleaguered Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanugh told the truth when he testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee. The independent Vermont Senator sent a letter Saturday to Senator Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, the panel’s chairman, calling on investigators probing allegations of sexual assault against Kavanaugh to take a look at statements he made while under oath. 'The fundamental question the FBI can help answer is whether Judge Kavanaugh has been truthful with the committee,' Sanders wrote. 'This goes to the very heart of whether he should be confirmed to the court.'....Sanders said the current scope of the probe doesn’t go far enough and also wants the bureau to examine 'several statements made by Judge Kavanaugh under oath regarding his treatment of women and his use of alcohol (that) appear not to be true.' " Senator Sanders, like the rest of the ProgDems, is traumatized by the fact that Kavanaugh could swing the nation’s Supreme Court to the right for a generation. Sanders also wrote to Grassley that the probe should not be limited to a week -- and called for it to include accusations of sexual misconduct made against Kavanaugh by other women aside from Ford. And, on Saturday, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi urged her fellow Democrats to take their fight against Kavanaugh “one step at a time,” but said if turns out he was untruthful then he is unfit to even serve in his current role on the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Pelosi did not rule out impeaching Kavanaugh if the Democrats should win the House majority in the November mid-terms : “Well, let’s take it one step at a time. I was asked that yesterday morning, and I said...divine intervention, whatever it takes, let’s see if we can’t get to a better place than that. But let me say this: If Judge Kavanaugh … if he is not telling the truth, to Congress or to the FBI, then he’s not fit not only to be on the Supreme Court but to be on the court that he’s on right now.” • • • GRASSLEY HITS BACK AT SANDERS. We knew that Kavanaugh's current seat on the DC Circuit Court of Appeals would be in play even before the Democrats got the GOP to agree to another FBI investigation. The minute Judge Kavanaugh was nominated for the Supreme Court, it was clear that if he was not confirmed, he would be 'investigated' and 'hounded' off the DC Circuit Court as well.The ProgDems operate under a scorched earth policy. They take no prisoners. Senator Grassley knows this, too. The Daily Caller said on Sunday : "Iowa Republican Senator Chuck Grassley issued a blistering response to a letter from Vermont Independent Senator Bernie Sanders demanding an investigation not just into the allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh regarding sexual misconduct, but also into whether or not the judge lied about his high school and college drinking habits....Grassley accused Sanders of being disingenuous in his request, pointing out that in spite of the hours of testimony and hundreds of thousands of pages of documentation available, Sanders had publicly announced his decision to oppose Kavanaugh’s confirmation less than 24 hours after he was nominated. His letter read, in part : 'Your public statements clearly reveal how unimportant it is to you to review any facts related to this nomination. So you can imagine my surprise at receiving your letter regarding the supplemental FBI background investigation. This supplemental FBI background investigation was requested by undecided members of both parties. Am I to take from your letter that you are now undecided and willing to seriously engage with the Senate’s advice-and-consent constitutional duties related to the nomination of Judge Kavanaugh to serve as an Associate Justice on the Supreme Court of the United States? If so, we should have a conversation about what information you need to assist you in making a decision, and I look forward to that conversation.' Sanders has not yet responded to Grassley’s letter." • Certainly, Senator Grassley's sharply cynical response to Senator Sanders scored one for the inner circle that is the US Senate. BUT, much as I admire Grassley and his no-nonsense style of managing the Judiciary Committee, I think he would do well to remember that socialist-fascist radicals who deal in character assassination, street violence and not-so-veiled threats against the sitting US President will not come to heel through sarcasm. No. Something more is required. Action. Like refusing, as the majority party, to listen to or give time for their cabalistic chants. It has become trite to say that Europe, in the name of British Prime Minister Chamberlain, appeased Hitler and it got them World War II. In fact, it put Europe in a place that it has still not, and may never, escape from. Those are now the stakes in America, and it will take more than cynical repartée to win this existential war for America. • • • DID PRESIDENT TRUMP SET LIMITS ON THE FBI PROBE. On Sunday, Liberty Headlines said President Donald Trump had claimed on Saturday that the FBI would have “free rein” to investigate allegations of sexual misconduct against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, but strict limits have been put on the agency’s reach in the one week it has to complete its work. President Trump told reporters at his rally in Wheeling, West Virginia, on Saturday evening : “I think it’s going very well. The FBI, as you know, is all over talking to everybody.” The President again called Kavanaugh “a very high-quality person,” and said of the new investigation, “I would expect it will turn out very well.” President Trump, under pressure from RINO wavering Republican Senators Flake, Collins and Murkowski, whose votes will determine Kavanaugh’s fate, on Friday ordered the FBI to update its previous background check to look into the allegations. But the White House, in a statement, said “this update must be limited in scope and completed in less than one week.” Liberty Hradlines wrote that the FBI "began immediately, contacting attorneys for at least one of the three accusers, Deborah Ramirez, that night to set up an interview. Days earlier the New Yorker reported that Ramirez told it that Kavanaugh, when they were freshmen at Yale University 35 years ago, exposed himself and thrust his genitals in her face without her consent during a party. The FBI is also examining the first and most prominent allegation, by California psychology professor Christine Blasey Ford, that he assaulted her at a social gathering when he was 17 and she was 15." Other Saturday media reports said that the White House is not permitting the FBI to pursue the allegation of the third accuser, Julie Swetnick, who said Kavanaugh was present at a party where she was gang-raped when they were teenagers. Swetnick’s attorney, Michael Avenatti, of Smoky Daniels fame, complained on Twitter that Trump was usurping the FBI’s role and that he and Kavanaugh “are afraid of the truth.” The FBI also reportedly cannot seek employment records from a Safeway supermarket in suburban Maryland for Kavanaugh’s friend Mark Judge, whom Ford says witnessed and helped in assaulting her. Ford told the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday that such records could provide evidence to corroborate her account, helping to establish the time period. • However, White House spokesman, Raj Shah, declined to confirm that the FBI was working under such restrictions, and said the Senate was setting the parameters of the inquiry. Trump told reporters that he hoped the FBI would also investigate who leaked the letter Ford wrote to Senator Dianne Feinstein in July detailing her allegation. He suggested the leaker was Feinstein, the senior Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, which is considering Kavanaugh’s nomination. Trump asked reporters :“Was it Senator Feinstein? Certainly, her body language was not exactly very good when they asked her that question. I would like to find out as part of it who leaked the papers. Which Democrat leaked the papers?” • Feinstein has adamantly denied leaking the letter, saying she had been honoring Ford’s request for confidentiality, and several Republicans on the Judiciary Committee say they believe her. The disclosure of the allegation earlier this month prompted Ford to go public with her story, causing the delay in Kavanaugh’s confirmation vote. • • • FLAKE, THE RINOS, AND THE PROGDEMS. At the Wheeling rally, President Trump called out the Democrats for their last-minute smear campaign against Judge Kavanaugh, labeling the Democrats obstructionists. But, the President had little choice about agreeing to a new FBI inquiry, given the Republicans’ narrow 51-49 majority in the Senate. With nearly all Democrats and the two independent Senators Sanders and King expected to vote against Kavanaugh, Republicans must hold their side together. Despite media talk of his apparent behind-the-scene directives to the FBI to limit the investigation’s scope, the President suggested the opposite in his comments to reporters : “They have free rein; they can do whatever they have to do, whatever it is that they do. They’ll be doing things we have never even thought of. And hopefully at the conclusion everything will be fine.” When asked about Senator Flake, an unrelenting critic of the President, Trump didn't attack him. Flake will be gone in November, largely because his popularity with Arizona Republicans fell through the floor after the President's frequent criticisms. Instead, Trump said of Flake : “Actually this could be a blessing in disguise, having the FBI go out and do a thorough investigation, whether its three days or seven days. I think its going to be less than a week.” • But, at the Wheeling rally, Trump lambasted the Democrat Party : “They’re determined to take back power by any means necessary. They don’t care who they hurt, who they have to run over, in order to get power and control.” • In a monstrous barrage of disinformation, RINO Senator Flake and ProgDem Senator Coons told the mainstream media over the weekend that they launched a bipartisan effort to delay a confirmation vote on Brett Kavanaugh for a week so the FBI could investigate sexual misconduct claims against him BECAUSE they were taken aback by the Supreme Court nominee’s emotional and angry defense. Coons told CBS' "60 Minutes" : “As I watched him, part of me thought ‘This is a man who believes that he did nothing wrong, and he is completely unjustly accused. And he’s being railroaded. And he’s furious about it....I was really struck that I thought his anger got the best of him. And he made a partisan argument that would’ve been best left to be made -- for his advocates and defenders on the committee,' said Coons, who is a member of the committee with Flake. Flake, of Arizona, also said Kavanaugh sounded like somebody who had been 'unjustly accused' but he felt the nominee went too far at times during his testimony. 'And I, as it went on -- I think his interaction with some of the members was a little too sharp. And he actually apologized at one point,' Flake said. But Coons said Kavanaugh, testifying last Thursday at the Senate Judiciary Committee, delivered more partisan lines, including that the accusations were revenge by the Clintons and a smear campaign carried out by Democrats upset with Trump’s 2016 election win....During the Senate hearing on Friday, Flake huddled with Coons and other Democrats on the panel to enlist support for a bipartisan effort to call for a one week delay so the FBI could investigate the claims made by a number of women against Kavanaugh." • Fox News quoted White House press secretary Sarah Sanders, who told Fox on Sunday : "Dianne Feinstein and her staff knew about these accusations; they could have done all of this in a private way to protect Dr. Ford. Instead, for the people that claim to champion women, Democrats have exploited Dr. Ford, they’ve exploited this process, and I think it’s been totally disgraceful -- and I don’t think anyone has hit the nail on the head better than Lindsey Graham did during Thursdays hearing." Sanders then addressed the ongoing supplemental background check of Kavanaugh, which the White House ordered last week on the insistence of key swing vote Senator Flake : "This cannot become a fishing expedition like the Democrats would like to see it be. I think you have to go back to the very beginning of Day One, when President Trump nominated Judge Brett Kavanaugh. From that very first moment, before any of these allegations had even been brought up, Democrats said they were not going to support him, they weren’t going to vote for him and they were going to do everything within their power to fight him -- and we’ve seen that play out over the last couple of months." • Also speaking to Fox News on Sunday, Christopher Scalia, the son of late Supreme Court Asssociate Justice Antonin Scalia, echoed Sarah Sanders' point : "It was pretty clear from the beginning -- groups already had signs, basically fill-in-the-blank, they were doing Mad Libs protesting basically before President Trump nominated Kavanaugh specifically." • • • ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES. The sad truth is that the ProgDems and their Swamp lackeys are winning the "insider" war against the conservative Republicans in Congress who support President Trump and his America First agenda. The FBI has begun its 7th -- count them, 7th -- investigation of Judge Kavanaugh. The Daily Caller says that while the probe will be limited to “current credible allegations against the nominee” and will be completed by Friday, according to a Senate Judiciary Committee spokesperson, it is not clear how many allegations the inquiry might encompass. It is not known if the FBI will investigate the allegations of Julie Swetnick, a Washington-based web developer who claims Kavanaugh was present at a house party where she was gang raped in the early 1980s. She further claims Kavanaugh spiked punch bowls with drugs or grain alcohol and behaved boorishly with women in her presence on other occasions during the same period. Senator Dianne Feinstein of California, the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, asked Kavanaugh about Swetnick’s charges during Thursday’s emotionally charged hearing. Kavanaugh denied them. "The Swetnick thing is a joke," Kavanaugh said. "That is a farce." Swetnick has retained Stormy Daniels laywer Michael Avenatti as her attorney. Avenatti said on Twitter Saturday that federal investigators had not yet contacted them : "We have yet to hear from the FBI. When and if we do, we will promptly disclose to them all information and witnesses in our possession. We continue to request this opportunity as we have been doing for days. My client is telling the truth and deserves to be heard and not shamed." BUT, the Daily Caller reported Friday that Swetnick’s former employer sued her for defamation and fraud in 2000, alleging that she lied about her credentials when applying for a position and falsely accused colleagues of sexual harassment in 'a transparent effort to divert attention from her own inappropriate behavior,' according to a court filing obtained by the Daily Caller....One year later, Swetnick’s former boyfriend sought a restraining order against her after she allegedly threatened to harm his wife and infant child." • These baseless allegations -- lacking any corroborating evidence -- are destroying the reputation and career of a good man. The viciously targeted attacks of the ProgDems are aimed at the one area of Judge Kavanaugh's, and of any person's, life where there is almost always no corroborating evidence. The classic he-says-she-says description reflects this fact. It is the reason why anyone who alleges sexual misconduct is extensively investigated herself or himself -- it is just too easy to seek revenge or a personal vendetta by making sexual misconduct allegations. And, when those allegations cannot be supported by ANY corroboration from third parties, and in fact are denied by the 'witnesses' offered by the accuser, we are right to be suspicious of the motives of the accuser. • When those allegations are leveled in an extremely charged political atmosphere by a Democrat Party determined to stop President Trump and his agenda, we are a thousand times more right to be suspicious of motives and demand to see the proof. • • • DEAR READERS, the GOP majority in the Senate knows how violently anti-Trump the Democrats in Congress are. Grassley and McConnell know the excessive extremes the Democrats have gone to in trying to somehow un-do the 2016 election. The ProgDems will not stop. Nor will the Fake news media that has aided and abetted the ProgDem cabal. Nor will the Deep State put in place by President Obama to politicize the federal bureaucracy and use it as a weapon against conservatives and President Trump. Senator Grassley has won a small victory, but that victory was largely gutted when the Judiciary Committee caved in to the Democrat-RINO Senator Flake demands for a week pause before full Senate votinig so that the FBI can for the 7th time investigate Judge Kavanaugh. The torch has now been placed in Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's hands. He will need all his procedural and political skills to prevail. And, he will need the support of EVERY Republican in the Senate. There must be a vote on Judge Kavnaaugh's confirmation. If Senators Flake, Murkowski and Collins vote 'No,' that vote needs to be made with the clear warning that Americans will not tolerate returning them to to the Senate the next time they run for re-election. And, more to the immediate point, every Senator of either party who votes 'No' on Judge Kavanaugh should recognize that he or she will not have enough support, if running, to be re-elected in November. • President Trump said on Monday in a Rose Garden press briefing to announce the new US-Mexico-Canada trade deal, that although it is Congress members' names on the ballot in November, it is he who is really on the ballot. He told Americans to think of their vote for a House member or Senator as a vote for him. The President has good reason to take this overtly personal interest in the mid-terms. President Trump is packing stadiums all across the nation with his supporters. He is energizing voters to get behind Republican candidates who support his agenda. The Democrats and Republicans have talked about winning the mid-terms in a “blue wave” or a “red wave.” Republicans currently have a 47-seat majority in the House, so Democrats would have to flip 24 GOP seats to gain control. To win the Senate, of the 32 Senate seats up for grabs, Democrats would need to hold all 23 of its own seats that are up for grabs as well as take two Republican seats. • BUT, at a September 21 Make America Great Again rally in Springfield, Missouri, The Epoch Times asked Trump supporters which “wave” they see coming on November 6. The answers ought to make Democrats think twice before voting against Judge Kavanaugh. Consider what these "Show Me" Americans from Missouri told Epoch Times : “I don’t think [Democrats] represent the American people. They only represent the Democrats, the media”....“There’s a lot of Trump supporters that are afraid to be public about it. They’re the silent majority. That’s why the polls are usually skewed”....“The liberal gays, the liberal transvestites, the liberal blacks are becoming conservative. From what I can read, they’ve been ostracized by their own party, by their own supporters. If they’re not 100 percent in agreement, they get picked on”....“If you’re a conservative black person, you’re treated a lot differently than if you’re a liberal black. If you’re a conservative black they call you an Uncle Tom and a sellout, and it’s almost like you’re obligated to be a Democrat because of your skin color”...."If Democrats did win the House or Senate, the people would rise up and kind of rebel [in] some sort of way. Because we’re all becoming more aware of the Deep State that’s running things and we know it has to end”....“If it appears to be clean and legitimate, it might go one way, but if there appears to be any kind of corruption behind a blue wave, then I think we’re going to have an uprising -- if people think it was kind of stolen instead of earned”....“Look at this [the huge crowd]. And this is one small area. All of this together is just one small part of the United States”....“I think he is the thing that started it...just gave it a push. He may be wealthy, but he thinks like we do....I had never, until recently, been told what I can and cannot say; what I can and cannot do. And I think Trump was that little push that said, ‘Yes you can be yourselves’ and ‘Yes you can do it and [there’s] not anything wrong with it.’ ”...."The Democrats are 'smoking dope' if they think they’re going to take the House. “[They] haven’t done anything except obstruct and resist. Christian voters will determine the midterm in the area. This used to be a Democrat state for years and years. It’s not any more because the Democrats haven’t delivered. To be honest, I didn’t think Trump was going to win it, but I couldn’t vote for Hillary. And I darn sure couldn’t vote for Bernie”....“The ball’s rolling. We want to keep the ball rolling and not give up because we’re very close to what we need”....“It’s a whole different party. I would be a Democrat, honestly, probably right to this day. I changed over, and I think there’s a lot of people changing over at this moment. And the polls try to say that Trump has so many or he’s down whatever -- to heck with those polls, we all know they’re not true”....“When the Obamacare came on -- and I wasn’t ever political, really -- but when that went on, my stomach just tightened up like somebody fell off a block wall and I saw it. It affected me that much. It just felt wrong. Everything was just wrong”....“America is waking up and they’re not listening to the mainstream media anymore. They realize it’s fake news.” • One man joined in to paint a bleak picture of what could happen if Democrats win the midterms : “We would lose everything they’ve gained. They’ll want to take back these tax cuts. They’re going to have investigation after investigation on Trump -- they’re going to try to impeach him.” • Both the Republican majority and the Democrat minority in the Senate should study the words of these Americans very carefully. Americans don't speak out this dramatically very often. But, they always carry a big stick -- their vote.
