Here are my observations and opinions on the week that was a disgrace for the United States Senate and further disappointment of Senator Flake.
JUST WHEN I THOUGHT that Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-SC) and Judge Kavanaugh said all that needed to be said about the Democrat’s on the Judiciary Committee,* the colorful, but astute Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) came forward with this remark:
“To the person who leaked Dr. Ford’s letter, to the person who breached Dr. Ford’s anonymity, and to the person who did not tell her she could have avoided this by testifying in her home in California, you know who you are. You should bow your head in shame, in my opinion, and you should hide your head in a bag every day for the rest of your natural life.
“I don’t know if you believe in God or read the Bible, but there’s wisdom in a passage whether you read the Bible or believe in God or not, and I’d refer you to Matthew 16:26: ‘For what is a person profited if he gains the whole world and he loses his soul.’”
Senator Jeff “the Flake” left the committee room to huddle with Democrats just before Kennedy made his remarks. “It’s too bad,” wrote Megan Fox in PJMedia, “because his own lack of courage and wishy-washy behavior needed that tongue-lashing.”
SPEAKING OF SENATOR GRAHAM – Did you hear his warning to the Democrats on the Judiciary Committee? I’ll paraphrase. Pointing out that he is due to chair the committee in the next Congress when Senator Grassley gives up the chairmanship, Graham said, “I’ll remember this,” and intimated he plans to install new rules.
You realize how important it is to maintain control of the Senate after the midterms. Picking off a few vulnerable Dem seats would add to the comfort.
A reminder to my fellow Arizonans: It is imperative that you vote for Rep. Martha McSally to fill “the Flake’s” Senate seat.
DASTARDLY DEMOCRAT DICK DURBIN continued to play dirty on the Judiciary Committee by holding up a letter from the American Bar Association, that called for an FBI investigation.
Nice try, Dickie, but Senator Grassley was ready for you. The ABA had earlier given Judge Kavanaugh a “well-qualified” rating with the “highest possible designation.” The letter Durbin waved in the air, though signed by the ABA president, had not been approved by the ABA committee that votes for such actions.
“Kavanaugh won because he fought back. Kavanaugh won because he was unwilling to suffer from ritual defamation from the left.” – J. Christian Adams,
JUST FOR LAUGHS – I can conceive of the following fictitious account of a telephone conversation taking place between Sen. Dianne Feinstein and FBI Director Christopher Wray:
FEINSTEIN: Hello, director Wray. I have forwarded a letter to you that I received from a woman who is concerned about the confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, stating that he sexually assaulted her 36 years ago. I am calling you to confirm that you will investigate these charges against Judge Kavanaugh.
WRAY: Well, Senator, I understand my agents have not only conducted a background check upon his nomination to the Supreme Court, but have completed five previous checks prior to my appointment as director. No such charges surfaced in the most recent check and we have informed the White House of his clearance.
In addition, the woman, Dr. Ford, doesn’t know what year or date or even the place that this assault presumably took place. All we have is her statement that unfortunately is lacking those important details. And I’m sure that if she had more to offer she would have.
FEINSTEIN: How is it, director Wray, that you were able to investigate a gentleman who was in my employ for 20 years and were able to identify him as a Chinese spy, yet my request is out of the question?
WRAY: You don’t want to go there, Senator.
Incidentally, Dr. Ford marked her letter “confidential.” Did you inform her that you were leaking her letter to me?
FEINSTEIN: Thank you for your time, director Wray.
“I hope you noticed that Democrat Sen. Richard Blumenthal, who once lied about serving in Vietnam, had the audacity to quote the legal axiom, in Latin, ‘false in one, false in all’ as he questioned Judge Kavanaugh’s honesty.” –Kramerontheright.com
A FRIEND SENT ME a quote supposedly written by a columnist, Burt Prelutsky, that apparently appeared in the Los Angeles Times. It was so improbable, I found it hard to believe it was for real, so I checked it out. He did, in fact, write it in a column dated December 6, 2009.
“Frankly,” he wrote, “I don’t know what it is about California, but we seem to have a strange urge to elect really obnoxious women to high office. When it comes to sending left-wing dingbats to Washington, we’re Number One.”
Naming Boxer, Feinstein, Waters, Harris and Pelosi, he said, “the five of them are like jackasses who happen to possess the gift of blab. You don’t know if you should condemn them for their stupidity or simply marvel at their ability to form words.”
Interestingly, nine years later, those wackos, with the exception of Boxer, are still demonstrating their ineptitude in the Senate and House.
JENNIFER RUBIN, the left-leaning columnist for the Washington Post, wrote @JRubinBlogger, “with his (Kavanaugh) screaming and interrupting senators I could imagine him putting his hand over someone’s mouth.”
RESPONDING to that ridiculous statement was Amy @Amy_VADC-1s with this appropriate comeback: “And I could imagine you writing an interesting blog but that’s never happened, either.”
