Kavanaugh Fallout: The Good, The Bad, and the Foolish

Senator Susan Collins — basically a Democrat who occasionally votes with the Republicans, but for some reason maintains her GOP affiliation for electoral purposes — has announced her intention to vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh for the U.S. Supreme Court, which essentially ensures his confirmation. The issue of whether he committed a sexual misdemeanor at a drunken party as a minor — which,...

Female Marxism: Goofball Edition

Orrin Hatch was getting on an elevator — which, in today’s Washington, is apparently the preferred ambush site for female Marxist assailants. So naturally he was assailed by “protesters” who “wished to speak with him” about Brett Kavanaugh. Here is a video of the ensuing “discussion”: BASED ORRIN HATCH Hatch waves off protesters screaming at him. Protester “Don’t you wave your hand at...

A Note on “The #MeToo Movement”

Ben Sasse has adopted the politically correct — which, from an alleged conservative, means weak-kneed and lily-livered — position that “MeToo,” the recent female Marxist crusade to exploit some real cases of sexual abuse (mostly in leftist milieus such as Hollywood) as an opportunity to go in for the kill on progressivism’s anti-masculinity, anti-differentiation-of-the-sexes agenda, is a “very important movement.” That is to...

Ben Sasse: Once an academic…

U.S. Senator Ben Sasse has chosen this peculiar moment to announce to the world that he did not want Brett Kavanaugh nominated for the Supreme Court, and that he expressed his reservations to President Trump early in the summer. His declared reason is just the sort of thing one might expect from a career academic and university administrator in the current social climate:...

Progressive Catholicity

Have you ever, at any time in your life, displayed anger in a public place? Have you ever had too much to drink and spoken or behaved in a childish and irresponsible manner? Have you ever used a bad word in front of other people? Have you ever said something disrespectful to another human being during a disagreement or dispute? Have you ever,...

Weekend Reflections: Red Wave, Beer Daze, Wet Souls

The drunken gang rape of Brett Kavanaugh’s life, career, and family by the Democratic Party, its supporters, and its propaganda arm (aka “the mainstream media”) — based on a flimsy thirty-five-year-old allegation that would, were there any evidence or witnesses to support it, amount at most to a misdemeanor committed by a minor at an underage drinking party — has some Republicans excited...

President Obama’s Brain Speaks Out on Kavanaugh

Senator Jeff Flake of Arizona, a wavering Republican, announced that he would vote for Judge Kavanaugh after hearing his and Christine Blasey Ford’s testimony. Then he stepped out of the room, was confronted by two women with “passion,” and changed his mind, as only a Flake can do. One amusing take on this comes from Valerie Jarrett, former director of the long-running off-off-Broadway...

Catholic Magazine Unendorses Kavanaugh

From the news headlines at msn.com (MSN = Marxist-Soft Network), I find this wonderful tidbit: The leading Catholic magazine America, which has been published since 1909, revoked its endorsement of Kavanaugh after yesterday’s hearing. The editorial board said the sexual assault allegations brought against Kavanaugh by Christine Blasey Ford and others should be investigated further, and urged the president to put forward another judge...

The Kavanaugh Hearings: What Marcus Aurelius Said

I live in Korea, so I was sleeping when Thursday’s senate hearing began. When I awoke, around 2:30am Korean Time, I decided to put on headphones and listen to some of the hearing to put myself back to sleep. (Political posturing usually has that effect on me.) Instead, I heard several minutes of bland clumsiness from the GOP’s female prosecutorial mouthpiece questioning Christine...

The Kavanaugh Hearing (Alternate Take)

If you watched more than a few minutes of Thursday’s U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee “hearing” on Christine Blasey Ford’s completely uncorroborated accusations against Judge Brett Kavanaugh, you have already disqualified yourself from ever being confirmed for any position in the U.S. Federal Government, since you obviously have serious and probably irremediable sado-masochist tendencies. But if, like your friendly host here in Limbo, you...
