Media pretend left-wing mobs of protesters aren’t really mobs By Dan Gainor Fox News October 14, 2018 Journalists spent last week rewriting history as it happened and denying the thuggery of left-wing protests. It was like watching a reality TV version of “1984.” President Trump helped get the show rolling when he called left-wing protesters “an angry mob” and Republicans and conservative groups picked up the term. It was repeated in several videos and in a key GOP commercial that highlighted scenes of violence. Continue Reading…..
Supreme Court fight over Kavanaugh got lots of attention, but most federal court action is elsewhere By John Lott Fox News October 14, 2018 Republicans are ecstatic and Democrats are livid about Brett Kavanaugh’s Senate confirmation as a Supreme Court justice. But while the Supreme Court is important, many Americans tend to exaggerate its powers. Democrats still firmly control the nation’s district courts and circuit courts of appeals, where virtually all federal judicial decisions are made. Even if Republicans keep control of the Senate in the Nov. 6 midterm elections, the balance of power on these courts isn’t…

By Jonathan S. Tobin National Review October 13, 2018 Earlier today, freshly minted Atlantic writer Jemele Hill published a piece that broke new ground in the Brett Kavanaugh debate. She revealed that, in her experience, black men were more sympathetic to Kavanaugh than she anticipated: On Tuesday night, I was in an auditorium with 100 black men in the city of Baltimore, when the subject pivoted to Brett Kavanaugh. I expected to hear frustration that the sexual-assault allegations against him had failed to derail his Supreme Court appointment. Instead, I encountered sympathy. One man stood up and asked, passionately,…
By Larry Klayman WND October 12, 2018 I have said it many times in the last few years: The nation is headed down an ever-increasing slippery slope to the revolution which our great Founding Father and third American president, Thomas Jefferson, predicted would have to be waged every other generation to “clean house” of the inevitable governmental and political corruption that would otherwise destroy the new republic. Now, in October 2018, Jefferson’s predictions are coming home to roost, albeit (and fortunately) later than he had anticipated. The nation is being torn apart by the vicious onslaught of the left,…
Rod Rosenstein will not meet with House lawmakers Thursday By Jeff Mordock The Washington Times October 12, 2018 Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein will not meet with House lawmakers Thursday, according to a source familiar with the matter. Rep. Mark Meadows, North Carolina Republican, said last week two House committees investigating the FBI and Justice Department could meet with Mr. Rosenstein Oct. 11. But an aide to one of those committees told The Washington Times that no meeting date has been scheduled. “We have many questions for Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein and expect answers to those questions,” a…

Although the complaints were originally lodged with the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, Kavanaugh’s former court, the circuit executive of that court asked Roberts to transfer the matters to another circuit out…
Eric Holder rejects Michelle Obama’s call for civility: ‘When they go low, we kick ’em’ By Gregg Re Fox News October 10, 2018 Speaking on Sunday at a campaign event for local Georgia Democratic candidates, former Attorney General Eric Holder flatly rejected former first lady Michelle Obama’s widely cited call for civility and instead seemingly urged Democrats to brawl with Republicans. “It is time for us, as Democrats, to be as tough as they are, to be as dedicated as they are, to be as committed as they are,” Holder told a crowd of campaign volunteers and candidates.…
Kavanaugh coping mechanisms: 5 wild Dem schemes to counter Trump’s SCOTUS win By Adam Shaw Fox News October 10, 2018 After failing to block the confirmation of Justice Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, Democrats and allies in the media are shifting course to float a range of ideas — some far-fetched — to curb the rightward shift of the court. They range from packing the bench with more justices to overhauling the Constitution itself. Here’s a look at some of the strategies that have taken off in the opinion pages, social media-sphere and cable talk circuit. Continue…
Hillary Clinton: Democrats ‘cannot be civil’ with Republicans anymore By Alex Pappas Fox News October 9, 2018 Hillary Clinton, in a television interview Tuesday, rejected the idea that Democrats should be “civil” with Republicans in the age of Donald Trump, embracing a more confrontational and aggressive political approach. “You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about,” Clinton said.
