FBI: Kavanaugh Accuser’s Friends Pressured Witness Who Contradicted Her
Posted on | October 5, 2018 | 1 Comment
Further evidence that this was a dishonest partisan hit-job:
A friend of Christine Blasey Ford told FBI investigators that she felt pressured by Dr. Ford’s allies to revisit her initial statement that she knew nothing about an alleged sexual assault by a teenage Brett Kavanaugh, which she later updated to say that she believed but couldn’t corroborate Dr. Ford’s account, according to people familiar with the matter.
Leland Keyser, who Dr. Ford has said was present at the gathering where she was allegedly assaulted in the 1980s, told investigators that Monica McLean, a retired Federal Bureau of Investigation agent and a friend of Dr. Ford’s, had urged her to clarify her statement, the people said.
The statement to the FBI offers a glimpse into how Dr. Ford’s allies were working behind the scenes to lobby old classmates to bolster their versions of the alleged incident, as were Judge Kavanaugh’s.
Judge Kavanaugh, whose Supreme Court nomination will be debated in the Senate Friday, has denied the allegations of sexual misconduct.
On Thursday, a day after sending to the White House the report on its investigation into the allegations against Judge Kavanaugh, the FBI sent the White House and Senate an additional package of information that included text messages from Ms. McLean to Ms. Keyser, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Ms. McLean’s lawyer, David Laufman, said in a statement: “Any notion or claim that Ms. McLean pressured Leland Keyser to alter Ms. Keyser’s account of what she recalled concerning the alleged incident between Dr. Ford and Brett Kavanaugh is absolutely false.” . . .
A person close to the former classmates said it was her understanding that mutual friends of Dr. Ford and Ms. Keyser, including Ms. McLean, had contacted Ms. Keyser after her initial statement to warn her that her statement was being used by Republicans to rebut the allegation against Judge Kavanaugh. . . .
This is Ms. McLean’s second appearance in the weekslong drama around Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination. On Wednesday, she issued a statement rejecting an assertion that Dr. Ford had coached her on how to take a polygraph test. The assertion was made by a former boyfriend of Dr. Ford in a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Christine Blasey Ford is a liar. If it can be proven she lied under oath, she should be prosecuted for perjury.
‘Male Feminist’ Kicks Catholic Woman
Posted on | October 5, 2018 | Comments Off on ‘Male Feminist’ Kicks Catholic Woman
A man has been fired from his job at a Toronto hair salon after he delivered a roundhouse kick to a woman at a pro-life protest event:
On September 30th at 2:31 PM during Campaign Life Coalition’s peaceful demonstration, pro-life leader Marie-Claire Bissonnette, was roundhouse-kicked in the shoulder by an abortion proponent.
The Human Defense Initiative has identified the assailant as Jordan Hunt, a hairdresser in Toronto, Canada.
During the event, Hunt vandalized multiple pro-life signs. He then sought support and recognition for his handiwork from an abortion activist standing nearby, at which point Bissonette began filming the encounter.
Bissonette made it clear she was filming the protester and informed him he had just destroyed private property, at which point he became belligerent and began questioning Bissonette on her opinions of pregnancy due to rape. When she began to answer, the protester wound up and roundhouse kicked her, causing the phone to drop. In the background, cries for someone to call the police could be heard along with the protesters insistence he was aiming for the phone.
Hunt has a previous history of attacking pro-life activists. Ms. Biossonnette, who has filed charges with police, shares her experience:
Life Chain is an annual event which consists of thousands of pro-life women, men and children standing on over 200 street corners across Canada holding signs that read, “Abortion Hurts Women”, “Abortion Kills Children,” “Adoption, the Loving Option”, “Life, We Stand On Guard For Thee”, and “Pregnant and need help? Call (local pregnancy help centre phone number)”. This is an explicitly peaceful and silent protest. Participants are not allowed to begin conversations with passersby, nor are they allowed to display any aggressive behaviour at any point. No abortion victim photography is permitted.
My task for this year’s Life Chain, which took place on Sunday, 30 September, was to manage the corner of Bloor and Keele, to hand out signs, and to take a headcount. Seventy-six sign-holders were present on that corner from 2:00-3:00 pm. One pro-abortion woman, probably in her late twenties, stood amongst us holding a sign that read, “My body, my choice, my right”. She was the only counter-protester present throughout, and she peacefully shared the corner with the rest of us.
At around 2:30, I was assaulted.
A man in his late twenties to early thirties observed the demonstration and, taking out two markers, one red and one blue, he managed to deface two of our signs. After I warned people to shield their signs, he then proceeded to run up behind five of the participants (including a ten-year-old girl) and scribble with his markers on their backs, ruining their clothing.
After these acts of vandalism, he approached the pro-abortion demonstrator, evidently in order to seek her approval, which she appeared to deny him by discouraging his tactics. At this point I took out my cell phone and began to record him, telling him that what he did was destruction of private property and it was against the law. He asked me whether a sixteen-year-old girl who gets pregnant after being raped should keep her baby. I attempted to explain that her baby should be treated no differently than a three-year-old child who may have been conceived by rape.
Did you notice the satanic pentagram on his necklace? Yeah.
Democrats Desperate to Stop Kavanaugh Nomination Resort to … Witchcraft
Posted on | October 4, 2018 | 6 Comments
Friday at midnight, a group of witches will cast a “binding spell” against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, following a ritual devised for this occasion by a Baltimore-based wizard. Michael M. Hughes is author of Magic for the Resistance: Rituals and Spells for Change, and leads a Facebook group for “resistance witches and magicians.”
Wednesday, Hughes published instructions for an “Emergency Ritual” intended to prevent the confirmation of Judge Kavanaugh, whom Hughes calls a “lying, entitled, arrogant, rapey piece of garbage.” Those participating in the ritual are directed to use two candles, a tarot card and other implements, while reciting various magical incantations, e.g.:
I light this candle to honor Christine Blasey Ford, Deborah Ramirez, Julie Swetnick, and all women who have been harmed by Brett Michael Kavanaugh
. . . and:
I bind you, Brett Michael Kavanaugh
I bind your groping, grasping hands
I bind your leering eyes
I bind your lying mouth . . .
I bind your genitals, that they may fail to bring you pleasure at another’s expense . . .
You are powerless over any woman you have abused
Your foul deeds have bound you
To their consequences
And as the elements expose
What lies hidden beneath the soil
So you wicked behavior
Shall be exposed to all
In terms of preventing Judge Kavanaugh’s confirmation, we can expect this spell to be at least as effective as Michael Avenatti’s client.
Remember: Democrats are the Party of Science™ . . .
FBI Ends Investigation; Kavanaugh Vote Scheduled; Democrats Are Still Lying
Posted on | October 4, 2018 | Comments Off on FBI Ends Investigation; Kavanaugh Vote Scheduled; Democrats Are Still Lying
“I actually believe that Dr. Ford fabricated her testimony. I think she’s delusional. . . . There could be no corroboration, because nothing ever happened.”
— Joe DiGenova, on Hannity, Oct. 3, 2018
We are within sight of the end of this three-week nightmare, which began Sept. 13 when Democrat Sen. Dianne Feinstein went public with the false sexual assault accusation against Judge Brett Kavanaugh.
Joe DiGenova was the only person on Fox News willing to say what we now know — it was all a lie, from start to finish. Judge Kavanaugh is not, and never was, a sexual predator, and Christine Blasey Ford’s story was never “credible,” no matter how many Democratic senators or media talking-heads repeated that word to describe her. The news roundup:
The prospects for Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation now rest on four swing senators who are carefully reviewing the FBI background report on sexual assault allegations against the Supreme Court nominee, as GOP leaders close ranks behind the embattled judge and one previously undecided Democrat comes out in opposition.
North Dakota Democratic Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, after staying on the fence for weeks, announced Thursday she will vote against Kavanaugh, citing in part his conduct at last week’s fiery Hill hearing. . . .
Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, who has stayed mum on her Kavanaugh stance, said Thursday that the bureau’s supplemental background probe “appears to be a very thorough investigation.” On Thursday afternoon, she remained in the Capitol building’s Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) reading the FBI’s report for more than an hour and a half. Senators are taking turns poring over the documents in the SCIF.
And Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., who originally requested the FBI re-open its investigation into the claims leveled against Kavanaugh by Christine Blasey Ford, agreed with Collins’ assessment.
“No new corroborative information came out of it,” Flake said. “Thus far, we’ve see no new credible corroboration — no new corroboration at all.” . . .
But senior GOP senators rallied around Kavanaugh at a press conference Thursday afternoon, vowing to press ahead with a series of votes starting Friday and blasting Democrats for their handling of the process.
“There are two things we know for sure. One thing is the FBI report did not corroborate any of the allegations against Judge Kavanaugh. Second … is there is no way anything we did would satisfy the Democrats. They’ve always got a reason why the goalpost needs to be moved further down the field,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said. . . .
Setting the stage, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, declared earlier Thursday that nothing in the FBI document changed his mind, and that it was time to vote to confirm Kavanaugh.
“I’ve now received a committee staff briefing on the FBI’s supplement to Judge Kavanaugh’s background investigation file,” Grassley said Thursday. “There’s nothing in it that we didn’t already know. These uncorroborated accusations have been unequivocally and repeatedly rejected by Judge Kavanaugh, and neither the Judiciary Committee nor the FBI could locate any third parties who can attest to any of the allegations.
“It’s time to vote,” Grassley added. “I’ll be voting to confirm Judge Kavanaugh.”
Chuck Schumer is still lying, but that’s not really news, is it?
During a press conference on Thursday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) stated that fears that the FBI would be limited from getting all the facts in its investigation of Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh “have been realized.”
Schumer said, “[W]e had many fears that this was a very limited process that would constrain the FBI from getting all the facts. Having received a thorough briefing on the documents, those fears have been realized.” . . .
Schumer added that he believes the White House “greatly constrained the investigation from the get-go.”
Let me tell you something: Chuck Schumer knows it was all a lie. He is one of the most dishonest people on the planet, and it is only the Senate custom of “collegiality” that prevents his Republican colleagues from denouncing him as the habitual liar he actually is. Thanks to Schumer and Feinstein, we have spent three weeks on a snipe hunt, seeking corroboration of a story that could not possibly be corroborated, because it never happened. Judge Kavanaugh’s good name has been trashed by Democrats and the media (but I repeat myself) simply because Chuck Schumer hoped to turn this nomination into a weapon to help Democrats win the Senate in November. What was learned from the investigation Democrats demanded? Well, we learned that “Devil’s Triangle” is indeed a drinking game and “boof” is indeed a slang term for flatulence.
Extra police have been deployed at the Capitol to protect Republican Senators from the Soros-funded anti-Kavanaugh protest mobs. What else? The official Twitter account of the Senate Judiciary Committee had some blunt truth for Sen. Feinstein:
By "what's not in it," Ranking Member @SenFeinstein must be referring to the total lack of corroborating evidence. https://t.co/MyB6ZAtkjb
— Senate Judiciary (@senjudiciary) October 4, 2018
Nothing that the FBI did, and no concession Republicans might have offered, would have been sufficient to please the Democrats. This was all about stalling and smearing and propaganda — a disgrace to the Senate, but let’s not talk about disgraces to the Senate, eh? That calls to mind Ted Kennedy, and Mary Jo Kopechne could not be reached for comment.

Republican Voters Are Angry
Posted on | October 4, 2018 | Comments Off on Republican Voters Are Angry
A poll by, of all people, National Public Radio shows that the Democrat smear campaign against Judge Brett Kavanaugh has motivated Republican voters ahead of next month’s midterm elections. In July, according to NPR’s polling, Democrats enjoyed a 10-point advantage — 78% to 68% — on the question, of whether the elections are “very important.” In a poll conducted this week, however, 80% of Republicans say the elections are “very important,” compared to 82% of Democrats. In other words, the GOP’s voter intensity has increased by 12 percentage points in less than three months, and only the Kavanaugh confirmation circus can explain this. “The result of hearings, at least in the short run, is the Republican base was awakened,” pollster Lee Miringoff told NPR.
The White House has found no corroboration of the allegations of sexual misconduct against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh after examining interview reports from the FBI’s latest probe into the judge’s background, according to people familiar with the matter.
Democrats may have unleashed a Republican firestorm:
When many conservative women around the country watched Christine Blasey Ford appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee last week, they didn’t find her testimony compelling or convincing, as many liberals did.
They saw a political farce.
“Honestly, I don’t think I have ever been so angry in all of my adult life,” says Ginger Howard, a Republican national committeewoman from Georgia. “It brings me to the point of tears, it makes me so angry.”
In interviews with roughly a dozen female conservative leaders from as many states, this was the overwhelming sentiment: These women are infuriated with the way the sexual-assault allegations against the Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh have been handled. They are not convinced by Ford or any other woman who has come forward. They resent the implication that all women should support the accusers. And they believe that this scandal will ultimately hurt the cause of women who have been sexually assaulted.
Above all, these women, and the women they know, are ready to lash out against Democrats in the upcoming midterm elections.
The FBI investigation is complete. Mitch McConnell has scheduled the vote. Guess what? Mitch knows how to count votes. He wouldn’t have pushed this forward if he didn’t think he could win it. He has vowed he will not be intimidated by left-wing protesters.
To quote Admiral Farragut: “Damn the torpedoes. Full speed ahead.”
I think we’re done here. Good-bye, Professor Ford.

Democrat Aide Arrested for Doxxing GOP Senators During Kavanaugh Hearings
Posted on | October 3, 2018 | 1 Comment
A Democratic congressional intern was arrested Wednesday and accused of posting the personal information of at least one Republican senator during last week’s hearing about sexual assault claims against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, authorities said.
U.S. Capitol Police said 27-year-old Jackson Cosko was charged with making public restricted personal information, witness tampering, threats in interstate communication, unauthorized access of a government computer, identity theft, second-degree burglary and unlawful entry. Police added that the investigation was continuing and more charges could be filed.
Senior congressional sources tell Fox News that Cosko most recently worked as an unpaid intern for Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas. He previously worked with Sen. Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., and former Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer of California. A LinkedIn page with Cosko’s name on it describes him as a “Democratic Political Professional & Cybersecurity Graduate Student.”
Jackson Lee’s office told Fox News that Cosko had only worked there for a couple of months, but has now been terminated.
Cosko is apparently from California.
