Graham Says Trump is Republican Party’s “Most Potent Force”, Calls McConnell’s Tirade “an Outlier” That Will Weigh on the Party Down the Road

Newsmax.com reports that

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said Donald Trump remains the party’s “most potent force” even after his second impeachment, and suggested Minority Leader Mitch McConnell hurt the GOP by blaming the former president for the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

“The Trump movement is alive and well,” Graham, one of Trump’s most consistent allies, said on “Fox News Sunday.” “All I can say is the most potent force in the Republican Party is President Trump. We need Trump-plus.”

The South Carolina senator’s comments reflect the internal struggle facing the party after a minority of Republican senators sided with Democrats on Saturday and voted to convict Trump of inciting supporters to breach the Capitol, clash with police, and interfere with the certification of his election defeat by the Senate.

Trump’s level of support among the GOP base will help determine his future role in the party. Graham said there’s no question Republicans need to work with Trump to win future elections and that he’ll be meeting him in Florida “next week.”

“We can’t do it without him,” Graham said on “Fox News Sunday.”

McConnell’s speech, in which the top Republican in the Senate denounced Trump as “practically and morally responsible” for the storming Capitol — despite voting to acquit him on the impeachment charge — was “an outlier” that will weigh on the party down the road, Graham said.

“He got a load off his chest, obviously.” Graham said. “But unfortunately, he put a load on the back of Republicans. That speech you will see in 2022 campaigns.”

Republicans who have crossed Trump, including House members who voted for his impeachment in January and the senators who joined Democrats in Saturday’s vote, have already met pushback from within the GOP.

Senators Bill Cassidy of Louisiana and Richard Burr of North Carolina were both censured on Saturday by their state parties. Burr plans to retire from the Senate at the end of his term; Cassidy was re-elected in November and won’t face voters again until 2026.

“I voted to convict President Trump because he is guilty,” Cassidy said Saturday in a tweet.

In another sign that Trump’s influence could live on, Graham predicted the former president’s daughter in law, Lara Trump, could run for Burr’s Senate seat in 2022.

“I think she represents the future of the Republican Party,” Graham said.

You know, boys and girls, for somebody who never saw a camera he didn’t like, “Miss” Lindsey has hit the nail square on the proverbial head/.

The old Guard of the Republican Party, the GOP Elite, if you will, need to pull their heads out of their backsides and come up for air.

Sen. Graham just gave them a Reality Check.

Over 74 million Americans voted for Donald J. Trump in the 2020 Presidential Election.

That is a lot of voters whom the GOP desperately need if they are going to compete in the Midterm Elections in 2022 or the  Presidential Election in 2024.

The GOP Elite and the Democrat Elite have a lot in common, the major things being political tone-deafness and a purposeful distancing of themselves from their constituents.

The Capitol Hill Elite believe that we back home in the Heartland are a bunch of rubes.

Look at McConnell’s tirade after the acquittal on Saturday.

He sounded like a Democrat.

I guess that is what happens when you play the role of a Vichy Republican for decades.

You forget who your boss is.

McConnell is a very politically-astute Senator who has been up on Mount Olympus…err…Capitol Hill since bully was a calf.

The problem is the fact that while he has made fiery speeches condemning the “opposition party”, he has spent his time in power being nothing more than a lackey to them.

Saturday, he knew that he had to vote for acquittal because he would probably lose his position of power if he did not.

However, his TDS got the best of him, along with his jealousy over the fact the Trump, and not he, remains, as Graham said, the Republican Party’s “most potent force”.

Gee, Mitch. If you had actually grown a spine and done something in Washington all of these years, that might have been you who was indispensable.

The cold hard truth is, without Donald J. Trump as the face of the Republicans Party, y’all are the Democrat Party Lite.

So, suck it up, Buttercup. Figure out which side your bread is buttered on and get with the program…or retire.

Otherwise, Sen. Graham and the rest of the Republicans who have already wizened up are going to kick you to the curb.

“Based” Lindsey: Dems are “Nickel and Diming at a Time When People are Dying – Literally Dying…End The Negotiations” UPDATE: Deal Reached!

UPDATE:

White House and Senate leaders reached a historic deal shortly after midnight Wednesday on a massive $2 trillion coronavirus relief package for workers and businesses, although support in the House of Representatives remained uncertain.

FoxNew.com reports that

Just hours after President Trump’s top economic adviser said Congress was close to agreeing on an unprecedented $6 trillion stimulus plan, tensions abruptly ratcheted back up again on Capitol Hill Tuesday night — with Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham taking to the Senate floor and calling for an immediate end to negotiations because he said Democrats were “nickel-and-diming at a time when people are dying — literally dying.”

Graham’s late-night remarks came after tensions seemingly had cooled in Congress during the day, sending the Dow Jones Industrial Average to its highest point gain in its history as leaders from both parties signaled that an agreement could be within reach. Futures were down Tuesday night.

“In case you’re watching,” Graham said in reference to the president, his voice rising, “tell [Treasury Secretary] Steven Mnuchin to come back to the White House and end negotiations. I think I understand the give-and-take of life and politics, but I’ve been called by two good friends on the Democratic side in the last five or six hours wanting more money. End the negotiations.”

He added: “This bill is $2 trillion. There’s a ton of money in this bill for people who need it, but what we’re doing now is, every special-interest group in town is trying to get a little bit more.”

Monday had been marked with furious debate on the Senate floor, as Republicans accused House Democrats of proposing an alternative stimulus bill that was full of unnecessary progressive wishlist items.

The bill offered by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., included measures to restrict airlines’ carbon emissions, protect illegal immigrants, provide for same-day voter registration, pay off billions in student loan debt, encourage federal agencies to employ “minority banks,” bail out the U.S. Postal Service and even fund the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

Republicans, including the president, have called the measures “nonsense” nonstarters. After Democrats signaled they might be willing to negotiate away some of their proposals, though, the Dow surged Tuesday to its highest point gain in history, and lawmakers appeared more optimistic.

“This is ridiculous,” Graham continued Tuesday night. “Steven Mnuchin has done a good job. I appreciate his efforts to negotiate a bill that will help America. Senator [Mitch] McConnell says we’re on the two-yard line. I believe the problem is that there are 20 people playing defense, and we need to take some people off the field. What bothers me is that at that late hour, I’m still getting calls from people wanting more money.”

“I have lost my patience with the political process,” Graham added. “We’re being nickel-and-dimed now. The big stuff we’ve got pretty well right, and if it’s not perfect, we can fix it later. But, we need to vote tonight, and the reason I’m on the floor is because I’ve been called by two Democratic colleagues in the last five or six hours wanting more money. The store is closed. Mr. President, end negotiations. Require us to vote. Draft the bill, do it tonight.”

Graham’s frustration was matched by many of his colleagues. Louisiana GOP Sen. John Kennedy told Fox News’ Sean Hannity late Tuesday that while the coronavirus “can kill you,” so can “hunger.” He accused Pelosi of demolishing a Senate compromise bill with her own legislation.

However, it’s highly unlikely the bill could see a vote Tuesday night, given that lawmakers have not even finalized the text. A Thursday or Friday vote in the House of Representatives appeared possible. But, because many House lawmakers have not been in Washington, that process likely would involve a voice vote with a skeleton crew, essentially requiring unanimous consent — meaning just one House member could kill the vote.

Shortly before Graham spoke, Trump declared at a coronovirus task force briefing that the country was nearing “the end of our historic battle” with “the invisible enemy” of coronavirus. Trump’s approval numbers hit their highest point ever this week, with 60 percent of Americans approving of his coronavirus response efforts.

The president also sounded an unexpectedly magnanimous note: “I also want to thank Congress, because whether or not we’re happy that they haven’t quite gotten there yet, they have been working long hours. I’m talking Republicans and Democrats, all of them, the House, the Senate. I want to thank Congress because they are really trying to get there, and I think they will.”

Then, Director of the U.S. National Economic Council Larry Kudlow specifically said the new coronavirus bill working its way through congressional gridlock would total $6 trillion: $4 trillion in liquidity from the Federal Reserve and $2 trillion in new money. Typical annual appropriations from Congress in a given fiscal year are around $1.2-4 trillion, with total expenditures roughly $4.3 trillion.

“This package will be the single largest Main Street assistance program in the history of the United States,” Kudlow said, adding that negotiations would continue into the evening but that a vote was imminent.

…Pressed by Fox News’ John Roberts on the timeline, Trump said at the briefing: “We’ll be looking at a lot of things — we’ll also be looking at very large portions of our country, but I’ll be guided very much by Dr. [Anthony] Fauci, and by Deborah [Birx].”

Fauci, the longtime head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, whose absence from recent coronavirus briefings triggered a wave of speculation in the media, said the timeline was still “flexible.”

Meanwhile, at 11:59p.m. Eastern Time last night, the tourist mecca of Miami, Florida went into “Shelter in Place” Mode, with only essential workers allowed out in public.

Being an “essential” worker in my small Northwest Mississippi city, it is very strange to drive to and from work on a 6-lane State Highway which connects 3 municipalities and to see just a fraction of the usual traffic on that busy street.

However, that is American life right now.

Once day you may be working and the next day you may be laid off.

Congressional Democrats have no empathy for us average Americans, none whatsoever.

They all live in mansions, like Nancy Pelosi does, or in gated communities.

They do not have to worry about not being able to pay their bills.

They receive a very generous salary courtesy of American Taxpayers, the same people whom they do not give a sh…..well, you know…about.

And, apparently, it’s not just the Congressional Democrats. The Democratic Governor of Nevada is going to sign a bill outlawing the use of the Malaria Drug which have been found to be 99.75 per cent effective in the treatment of the Coronavirus.

Yeah, let me kill some of the people who I’m supposed to be serving.

That will show everybody that “Orange Man Bad”.

What kind of logic is that??!!

The same kind of logic found in this article on DailyCaller.com…

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi falsely claimed Tuesday on CNN that House Democrats’ coronavirus proposal only deals with the virus, and does not seek unrelated policy changes.

“It’s not a bill I would have written in terms of some things that relate to family medical leave, that relate to worker protections,” the speaker said. “Everything we’re suggesting just relates to Covid-19.”

Pelosi doubled down on the falsehood that her bill only relates to the coronavirus pandemic.

“It’s not changing policy except as it applies here,” Pelosi added. “Many of the provisions in there have been greatly improved because of negotiation.”

Sorry, Madame Speaker, but $35 million for the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and funding for Planned Parenthood has absolutely NOTHING to do with the Chinese Coronavirus and providing average Americans relief from it.

I thought it was just Joe Biden who is suffering from dementia.

Apparently, all the Democrats have it!

“Based” Lindsey is right.

End the negotiations and pass the Coronavirus Relief Bill NOW!

It is obvious that the Democrats are a very unserious political party which nothing constructive to offer.

Americans will remember them in November…and it will not be a fond remembrance.

Sen. Lindsey Graham: “The Demise of the Democratic Party is Underway”…He May Be Right

“I just don’t think that they’re gonna let Crazy Bernie win this. And either way, if he does or if they succeed in sabotaging him again, either way it’s just going to be one of the best shows on earth to sit here and watch.” – Rush Limbaugh, 2/11/2020

FoxNews.com reports that

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., claimed on “America’s Newsroom” Tuesday that “the demise of the Democratic Party” is underway, as voters headed to the polls in New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation primary.

“The president’s in a spot where he really can’t lose as this plays out,” Graham said on Tuesday. “[Former Vice President Joe] Biden’s going to win South Carolina, you’re going to have three different winners in the first three states.”

“On Super Tuesday, I think [billionaire and former New York City mayor Mike] Bloomberg is going to make a real dent. He’s going to make a real presence,” he continued. “You’re going to go to this convention with Biden basically collapsed. Somebody’s going to fill that lane, it’s not going to be [Democratic Sen.] Amy Klobuchar, it’s going to be Bloomberg.”

He went on to say that if the 2020 Democratic National Convention in July comes around and “if you can’t find a nomination on the first round of voting, the Democratic Party as we know it is going to completely implode.”

Graham said if a nomination isn’t determined after the first round of voting, “It’s going to help President Trump get reelected.”

He then noted, “You’re seeing the demise of the Democratic Party that your grandfather and grandmother knew and we’ll see how that affects America.”

Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., the populist senator who’s making his second straight White House run, is in the driver’s seat – sitting atop the final public opinion polls, drawing large and energetic crowds in the closing days,  and sporting arguably the largest grassroots get-out-the-vote operation in New Hampshire.

After getting out of Iowa’s caucuses with essentially a tie with 2020 nomination rival former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg, expectations are high for self-described democratic socialist Sanders in a state where he shares home-field advantage with fellow progressive standard-bearer Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts.  

When host Sandra Smith asked Graham why he doesn’t think Klobuchar, D-Minn., can fill Biden’s spot he said, “She doesn’t have the juice.”

“This is socialism versus liberalism,” he continued. “Amy is a nice person, but at the end of the day she’s not going to be able to compete with Bloomberg. He’s got just too much money.”

So, is “Woke Lindsey” right?

Has the Far Left-controlled Democratic Party begun it’s swirling descent down the ol’ porcelain receptacle?

I certainly hope so.

As I write this post, there is less than 2 percentage points separating First Place Bernie Sanders from Second Place Pete Buttigeig in the New Hampshire Democratic Primary Election, followed by Amy Klobuchar, Elizabeth Warren, and Sleepy Joe Biden, who left New Hampshire early in the day after he realized that he was about to get his clock cleaned.

Right now, the Democrats’ front runners are two guys whom I am pretty sure that they do not want to be there.

Sean Hannity reported last night that Establishment Democrats are starting to back Bloomberg to parachute in either on Super Tuesday or at the Convention.

Wonderful idea…except for one little thing: the Establishment Democrats are not in charge of the party anymore.

The Far Left Democrats and their “Wokesheviks” are.

Another problem that the Democrats face is the fact that every single candidate that they have left is, at best, a Northeastern Regional Candidate.

And, even the folks in New Hampshire whom Elizabeth Warren tried to talk to in that restaurant seemed less than pleased that she was interrupting their meal.

Average Americans here in the Heartland, or “Realityville” as Rush calls it, are not going to vote for any of the Democrats’ choices, no matter whom they nominate.

Bernie Sanders, the old Marxist? The young adults in Dixie are out earning a living, raising their babies, and being thankful for their blessings. They’re not about to vote for someone who wants them to give the government more than they are now.

“Mayor” Pet Buttigeig? Do the Democrats honestly believe that the overwhelming majority of Americans want someone with his limited experience and radical ideas to be president? Not to mention that the idea of a “First Fellow” induces nausea in the majority of us.

Amy Klobuchar? Who?

Elizabeth Warren? She can’t even win in the Northeast.

Sleepy Joe Biden? Even if he and his kid are not frog marched to prison soon, his political Career is over with. And, from what Americans have witnessed on the campaign trail, so are his cognitive functions.

Mini Mike Bloomberg? Do the Democrats actually believe that average Americans are going to vote for the guy who wants to grab our guns so bad that he had children march out of schools in protest over it? And, even if they don’t know that…they know him as the idiot who banned the Big Gulp. ‘Nuff said.

I believe, like Sen. Graham does, that things are just going to get worse for the Democrats as the 2020 President Election draws near.

Although, it should be awfully entertaining.

…kind of like the old Demolition Derbies were.

Until He Comes.

Graham on Russian Collusion Delusion and Upcoming IG Report: “Was President Obama Briefed…I’d Like to Know That”…So Would We

On By kingsjesterIn Politics1 Comment

694940094001_6074144830001_6074155861001-vs

Regarding the origin of the Russian Collusion Delusion, the real story all along has been the extent of the participation of the Obama Administration in its origin.

FoxNews.com reports that

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., is adamant about revealing what went on behind the scenes of the Russia investigation and is looking forward to the American people learning about what happened.

Graham pointed to three investigations of the investigators that are taking place: one by his committee; one by Connecticut U.S. Attorney John Durham, who was appointed by Attorney General Bill Barr to conduct a probe; and one by Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz.

“I believe the Horowitz report will be ugly and damning,” Graham told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures.” That report has been anticipated for months, but it has faced delays in recent months.

“Every time you turn around you find something new,” Graham explained. “Mr. Horowitz is doing a very in-depth dive” into the FBI’s use of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) to acquire a warrant to monitor former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. Graham predicted that the report will finally come out in the coming weeks.

Another man linked to the early stages of the investigation — former Trump campaign member George Papadopoulos — is eager to tell his side of the story after serving a brief sentence for providing a false statement to investigators. Papadopoulos is said to have brought about the investigation by revealing to an Australian diplomat (who later alerted U.S. officials) that he had information that Russia had damaging information about Hillary Clinton. This was after he heard about this from Maltese professor Joseph Mifsud.

Graham said that once Horowitz’s IG report comes out, he would like Papadopoulos to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Graham believes that, based on interview transcripts, Papadopolous was “clearly” not working with Russians.

The more information that gets declassified, the better, according to Graham.

“I want to declassify as much as possible … I don’t want people to believe what I said, I want them to read for themselves how bad it was,” he declared. Graham claimed that the FBI relied on the dossier compiled by Christopher Steele when they applied for the FISA warrant, despite Steele being “an unreliable informant” who hated President Trump.

“I want it all out, I want people to see how off the rails this investigation got, and I want people to be held accountable, and I am patient,” he said. “I’m not in a hurry to do it, I want to do it right.”

Graham also expressed a desire to find out just who was ultimately responsible for the Russia investigation, saying he is “curious about the role the CIA played here.” He also questioned whether it went all the way to the top.

“Who knew about this in the White House?” he wondered. “Was President Obama briefed … I’d like to know that.”

There is a very good reason for Senator Graham to be suspicious about Former President Obama’s involvement in the origin of the Russian Collusion Delusion: Obama’s history of Chicago Style Political Dirty Tricks.

Several years ago, during his presidency, I wrote an unofficial biography of Barack Hussein Obama titled “The Great Disconnect: The Whole, Ugly Truth About Barack Hussein Obama”. Here is an excerpt which is pertinent to the above article.

In 2004, Illinois State Senator Barack Hussein Obama (mm mmm mmmm) decided to run for The United States Senate.

In order to have a successful Senatorial campaign, Scooter had to secure tremendous financial backing and be the recipient of astute political mentoring. No problem.

It is now very well-known that George Soros, evil genius, major Democratic Party donor and anti-Israel crusader, has been a generous contributor to Barack Obama. However, not too many people know that a loophole in McCain-Feingold allowed Soros and his family members to be extremely generous in their support of Obama’s 2004 Senatorial campaign.

Obama had to run against Blair Hull in the primary and then Jack Ryan in the general (both multi-millionaires). Obama received huge donations from individuals, due to so-called “millionaires exception.” Usually, individuals are limited to giving $2300 to candidates in federal elections, but if the candidates are running against millionaires, these limits do not apply and candidates are allowed to receive up to $12,000 from a single individual. Soros and his family gave Barack Obama $60,000. This does not count the money that Soros funneled to so-called 527 groups (Moveon.org, for example) that have also been politically active; nor does it include money that Soros raised from tapping a network of friends, business associates, and employees.

Besides garnering unlimited campaign funds, as the campaigns entered their closing rounds, the news ”happened to be” leaked to media outlets that both Hull and Ryan had “personal scandals” in their past. The timely release of this news wiped out both of their campaigns, leading to an easy victory for Obama in the primary and then in the general election.

The New York Times Magazine revealed that David Axelrod, Obama’s chief political and media adviser, may well have been behind the leak of the story that doomed the Hull candidacy as the primary reached its home stretch. I’m shocked.

As he has shown over the years, Axelrod was right at home operating in this gray area, part idealist, part hired muscle. One can not bring up Axelrod’s name in certain circles in Chicago without the matter of the Blair Hull divorce papers coming up. Approaching the 2004 Senate primary, it was clear that it was a two-man race: the millionaire liberal, Hull, leading in the polls, and Obama, who was the figurehead of an impressive grass-roots campaign. One month before the vote, The Chicago Tribune “just happened” to reveal, at the end of a long profile of Hull, that during a divorce proceeding, Hull’s second wife filed for an order of protection. This revelation proceeded to erupt into a full-fledged scandal. This scandal destroyed Hull’s campaign and handed Obama an easy primary victory.

The Tribune reporter who wrote the story later admitted in print that the Obama camp had “worked aggressively behind the scenes” to push the story. However, a lot of folks in Chicago believe that Axelrod leaked the initial story. They will tell you that before signing on with Obama, Axelrod interviewed with Hull. They also point out that Obama’s TV ad campaign just happened to start at almost the same time. Axelrod swears up and down that “we had nothing to do with it” and that the campaign’s television ad schedule was in the works for a long time.

Axlerod’s explanation?

An aura grows up around you, and people assume everything emanates from you.

After Obama won the Primary, he was invited to deliver a speech at the 2004 Democratic Convention on July 27th in Boston, Massachusetts.

As the result of the now-legendary speech, Out of Many, One, Obama rose to national prominence, and his speech is regarded by Liberal pundits as one of the great political statements of the 21st century. This speech thrust Obama into the national spotlight, and sycophants crowned him the new political prince of the Liberal Elite.

And, that led to an 8 year long American Nightmare, the Obama Presidency.

Since the kinky days of J. Edgar Hoover, the hierarchy of the FBI have run clandestine investigations of public figures, both political and cultural leaders.

J. Edgar did it to hold onto his office and to have political leverage against his enemies, as he had skeletons in his own closet…and dresses, too.

But, I digress.

In the case of “Spygate” and the Russian Collusion Delusion, the Hierarchy of both the Department of Justice and the FBI did it to circumvent the will of the American People via the “overthrow” of a sitting president, thereby installing Hillary Clinton as the 45th President, thus protecting the status quo in the Halls of Power in Washington, DC.

Senator Graham is right to be suspicious. Sitting President Barack Hussein Obama knew every detail of the Deep State Operation to spy on his Presidential Campaign and when that failed, to sabotage his presidency.

He had to.

He was the boss of all those who were involved in it.

And, he had a “legacy” to protect.

Still, despite all of their unfathomable behavior and the cover of a Former President, they have failed.

The Washington Bureaucratic Elite were beaten on November 8, 2016 by the very people whom they had daily been looking down their noses with contempt during the Obama Administration: average Americans…those of us who voted for “Citizen Statesman” Donald J. Trump.

And, that I am sure, is what galls them the most.

All of those involved, including Former President Barack Hussein Obama, must be brought to justice and must face the consequences of their Seditious Conspiracy both before and after the election of the 45th President of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump.

Until He Comes,

“Woke” Lindsey Strikes Again, Tells Judiciary Committee Dems “You’re Not Going to Take My Job Away From Me!”

I will no longer allow our asylum laws to be exploited by human traffickers, smugglers and cartels. Cartels, smugglers and human traffickers are profiting off immigrants and helping them take advantage of our broken asylum laws. – Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Twitter 8/1/2018

FoxNews.com reports that

The Senate Judiciary Committee erupted with infighting Thursday as a top Republican lawmaker pushed legislation aimed at crafting new rules for asylum-seekers from Central American countries.

The committee eventually approved the bill on a narrow 12-10 vote — but only after Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., battled accusations that he was violating Senate rules by taking up the measure after the panel fell one Democrat shy of a quorum at a related meeting last week.

 “Why even have rules?” Ranking Member Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., asked rhetorically. Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., backed her up, saying, “If the majority is willing to break any rule in order to report this bill today, there are no rules.”

Graham defended the move, stating the bill had been ready to move forward for seven weeks and Democrats intentionally did not show up last week in an effort to stymie the legislation.

“I’m not changing the rules,” Graham said, noting that the rules allow a majority of the committee to decide to vote.

Graham said that if he allows the Democrats to get their way, “the committee becomes irrelevant.”

“It would be different if I had not tried. For seven weeks I withheld marking up this bill and I got nowhere,” Graham said angrily. “What you’re telling me is I should ignore what you did to me last week. I will not.”

In an uncomfortable moment, Graham addressed Leahy directly, stating, “Senator Leahy, you’ve been here a long time. I would never have done this to you,” only for Leahy to state that he missed last week’s meeting “because a member of my family was being buried.”

Graham immediately offered condolences but noted that he had been told Democrats would not show up for political reasons.

Graham also alleged that Democrats skipping the meeting were trying to disempower him. “You’re not going to take my job away from me!” he said.

The bill itself calls for asylum claims from the Northern Triangle of Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador to be made at refugee centers to be set up in Central America and Mexico.

VAdditionally, the bill calls for 500 new immigration judges so that cases are handled more swiftly, reducing the current backlog of cases.

“I don’t want to separate families, I want to adjudicate families,” Graham said Thursday.

The bill would also allow unaccompanied children from Central America to be sent back to their home country after screening, as is the case with children who enter from Canada and Mexico.

Feinstein said the bill would repeal a requirement for minimum standards at facilities, giving sole authority over the standards to the Department of Homeland Security, without any judicial review. Feinstein mentioned that seven children have died in U.S. custody thus far due to poor conditions.

“The Graham bill doesn’t fix these problems, it will only make them worse,” Feinstein said.

Feinstein also asserted that it would only “increase problems at the border” by allowing children to be detained in poor conditions longer than the current system permits.

This was in reference to a provision in the bill which would also override a court settlement agreement that caps child detention at 20 days, allowing families to be held together for up to 100 days.

Graham has claimed that requiring children – and those accompanying them – to be released after 20 days has allowed for fraud. Graham told Fox Business Network’s Maria Bartiromo in July that 30 percent of those who cross into the U.S. with children are “fake families,” and that loopholes are used to let the same children come back over and over, bringing different adults with them.

“I will no longer allow our asylum laws to be exploited by human traffickers, smugglers and cartels,” Graham said in a statement Thursday. “Cartels, smugglers and human traffickers are profiting off immigrants and helping them take advantage of our broken asylum laws. I will no longer allow the loopholes in our laws to be exploited. I will not aid and abet these horrific practices. My bill fixes these problems.”

I agree wholeheartedly with Sen. Graham.

Gentle readers, do you remember when all of these “migrants” began arriving from Central America?

It was the spring and summer of 2014 under the benevolent reign of King Barack The first, when 50,000-100,000 unaccompanied minors made the long arduous journey from Central America across Mexico to our Southern border, where they were graciously welcomed to our Sovereign Nation by President Obama.

Even though a significant number of these “unaccompanied minors” were found to be carrying measles and other childhood diseases which our country had all but eradicated, they were spirited away on military transport planes to bases around the country and were later dispersed among our general population.

This “migration” from the “Northern Triangle” continues to have a very bad smell to it…and I’m not talking about the migrants themselves.

Just as there has been copious amounts of money spent by George Soros and other financial backers of the Far Left Democratic Party to disrupt the candidacy and presidency of Donald J. Trump, I believe that there is an even shadier political element to this “migration”.

The Democrats could care less about the unaccompanied children who are attempting to break into our Sovereign Nation, bringing diseases with them.

They want new Democratic Voters to replace “woke” black Americans and other Democrats who have left the party and support President Trump, like the wonderful Candace Owens.

Just as they did during the Obama Administration and the 2018 Presidential Campaign, the Democrats are greatly underestimating the American People and greatly overestimating their own intelligence.

Average Americans in the Heartland see and know what the Dems are doing.

And, we do not like it one bit.

This is the exact sort of political garbage which led to the election of an American Businessman and Entrepreneur as the 45th President of the United States of America.

If this, indeed, is one of the main things that the Democrats will push as a “crisis” going into the 2020 Presidential Election, their public display of “compassion” will have all of the impact of a wet firecracker.

Sure, the Main Stream Media will play it up, but average Americans quit listening to them years ago.

The only thing that the Democrats support of the “Migrant Caravans” has accomplished is to show Americans whom the Democrats actually care about…and it is sure not average American Citizens

By the way, Sen. Graham  is acting as if a huge weight has been lifted off his shoulders.

He has been a new man, a Conservative Dynamo, since the passing of his mentor, Sen. John McCain.

A “Woke” Lindsey has turned in to a great advocate for average Americans.

And, that’s a good thing.

Until He Comes,

Barr Refuses to Allow Congressional Staffers to Grill Him in House Judiciary Committee Meeting…Why He’s Right

FoxNews.com reports that

The House Judiciary Committee has been informed that Attorney General Bill Barr will not testify at a planned hearing Thursday, an aide to the panel told Fox News — even as the Democrats who lead the committee vowed to hold the hearing anyway, and threatened a possible contempt citation against Barr.

The prospect of House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y, gaveling a hearing with an empty chair came hours after Barr endured withering questioning from the Senate Judiciary Committee earlier in the day.

Democratic Caucus chairman Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., said Wednesday afternoon that Democrats “plan on subpoenaing” Barr “if he decides not to show up.”

“He can run but he can’t hide,” Jeffries said.

A key sticking point was that Nadler wants to have House Judiciary Committee staff — rather than members of Congress — question Barr on his handling of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report. But DOJ officials said members should conduct the inquiry, and it was unclear why Democrats did not propose having staffers simply provide questions to members during the hearing.

In remarks to reporters Wednesday afternoon, Nadler said Democrats had “worked around the clock” to address Barr’s concerns, and slammed what he called Barr’s “lack of candor.”

“He’s trying to blackmail the committee into not following the most effective means of eliciting the information we need,” Nadler said. “He is terrified of having to face a skilled attorney.”

Nadler also said the DOJ had denied House Democrats’ request for the full and unredacted Mueller report, and said compliance with congressional subpoenas is “not optional.”

Although Barr has not yet been subpoenaed to testify, Nadler said contempt citations could be possible down the road not only if the full Mueller report is not released, but also if Barr does not comply with a possible future subpoena. The move would not be unprecedented: Republicans in the House held Obama Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt in 2012, after he refused to provide information on the failed gun-running sting known as “Fast and Furious.”

Republicans insisted Democrats had deliberately derailed the hearing.

“It’s a shame Members of the House Judiciary Committee won’t get the opportunity to hear from Attorney General Barr this Thursday, because Chairman Nadler chose to torpedo our hearing,” House Judiciary Committee ranking member Doug Collins, R-Ga., said in a statement. “The attorney general gave clear, informative testimony in the Senate Wednesday, as he offered to do more than a month ago in the House tomorrow.”

Collins added: “By rejecting the chance to question Attorney General Barr or read the materials he’s provided, Democrats are trying to prolong an investigation the special counsel completed. Ultimately, though, they’re ignoring the will of the majority of Americans who want Congress to move on and secure our border and continue to strengthen our economy.”

“We’re not torpedoeing this hearing,” Nadler countered, responding to Collins’ remarks. He added that Barr has a “nerve” to challenge the panel’s ability to conduct its own hearing.

Speaking to Fox News’ “Hannity” Wednesday night, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham focused on the larger context.

“Well, to all my friends on the other side: We gave Mueller two years to do his job,” Graham said. “He had 19 lawyers. He had $25 million, he interviewed 500 people, he issued 2,000 subpoenas. He had plenty of opportunity without interference. The president gave him a million and a half documents. Everybody around the president and on the president’s campaign testified voluntarily, and here’s what we know: There was no conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the Russians at all. Mueller could not decide — chose not to press forward on obstruction. I always thought the obstruction argument was absurd. It is over, and the reason they are mad at Barr and me is because they didn’t get the outcome they want. My friends on the other side want an outcome, and they don’t care how they get it.”

Graham added: “To give Mueller the space to do his job is not enough. When Mueller gives an answer they don’t like, they destroy Bill Barr. Bill Barr’s a fine man, he will sleep well tonight. His critics are the problem, not him. “

DOJ spokesperson Kerri Kupec, meanwhile, called Nadler’s demands “inappropriate” and said Barr remains open to speaking to members directly.

So, why does Rep. Nadler have such a burr in his saddle about President Trump?

Well, there are a couple of reasons.

According to Breitbart.com in an article posted on April 9th,

“Congressman Jerry Nadler fought me for years on a very large development I built on the West Side of Manhattan,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “He wanted a Rail Yard built underneath the development or even better, to stop the job. He didn’t get either & the development became VERY successful. Nevertheless, I got along very well with Jerry during the zoning and building process.”

The battle between Trump and Nadler took place in the 1980s over a development project on Manhattan’s West Side, according to the Washington Post‘s Josh Dawsey.

Trump acknowledged that his relationship with Nadler changed significantly when be became president, but signaled optimism that their relationship could be a positive one.

“Then I changed course (slightly), became President, and now I am dealing with Congressman Nadler again,” Trump wrote. “Some things never end, but hopefully it will all go well for everyone. Only time will tell!”

But Nadler has demonstrated he has little interest in working with the president.

In 2018, the Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway overheard Nadler promising to go “all-in” to investigate Trump and his connections with Russia after Democrats won a House majority in the midterm elections.

The second reason is one shared by every Democrat Politician in Washington, D.C.

They want to demean and destroy President Trump, his Administration, including AG Barr, his staff, his friends, and his entire family.

Why?

Because he defeated Hillary Clinton in the 2016 Presidential Election and he is succeeding in keeping his Campaign Promises, including bringing back America’s Economy, ruining the Democrats’ chances of turning America into a Marxist Nation.

And, now that the Mueller Report has turned out to be a bunch of “sound and fury, signifying nothing” the Democrats and their Propaganda Arm, the Main Stream Media, have been shown to be nothing but a bunch of bald-faced liars.

Make no mistake, the Democrat Hierarchy including the Democrats on Capitol Hill are very aware that Attorney General Barr is an experienced veteran in his position. He is a very through and extremely competent lawyer and when he says that he is going to get to the bottom of the origins of the Russia Collusion Fairy Tale, you can take it to the bank.

Barr has really got ol’ Jerry’s knickers in a twist…not just his , but the entire Democrat Hierarchy, including Obama Hillary, Comey, and the other members of the Deep State Cabal who tried to take down candidate and then President Donald J. Trump.

Nadler and the House Dems voting to allow their staff to question the top Law Enforcement Officer in America, was an insult perpetrated in the name of pettiness and mean-spirited arrogance designed to insult AG Barr and President Trump.

That vote had nothing to do with “justice”. Injustice, yes. Justice, no.

However, there was another reason that Nadler and the Dems wanted their staff lawyers to ask the questions: they saw how bad Attorney General Barr made the Democrat Senators look in their committee meeting yesterday.

Believe you me, Nadler and the rest of the House Dems on his committee wanted no part of that.

However, their plan didn’t work.

By refusing to fall for it, AG Barr made them look stupid, anyway.

Until He Comes,

GOP Senators Warned Barr That Mueller Staff “Selectively” Used E-mails in Court Filings to Give “Nefarious” Impression

On By kingsjesterIn PoliticsLeave a comment

untitled (237)

Was there Democrat political bias going on in the editing of e-mails selected as potential evidence by Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Investigative Staff?

Was that same bias involved in the FBI’s original Russia probe?

FoxNews.com reports that

Shortly before Special Counsel Robert Mueller filed his report on the Russia investigation last month, Sens. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., alerted Attorney General Bill Barr to what they described as the “selective” use of emails in Mueller court filings — as well as potential “improper political influence, misconduct, and mismanagement” in the FBI’s original Russia probe.

In a March 8 letter, Grassley and Graham referred Barr to a letter sent to Mueller in late 2017 that alleged his investigators had cherry-picked details from emails to include in court documents, urging him to review the materials. They also notified him that they had asked DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz a year earlier to review the original FBI probe.

It’s unclear if Barr reviewed the senators’ letter; a DOJ representative declined to comment on the missive.

But Fox News is told the lawmakers wanted Barr to have this material before he reviewed the Mueller report, out of concern some emails were selectively quoted to give a “nefarious” impression.

Fox News has also obtained the 2017 letter (above) from Grassley to Mueller, which spelled out the lawmakers’ concerns about the “absence of additional context” in the court filings — as well as concerns over how those documents were covered in the media. “The glaring lack of [context] feeds speculation and innuendo that distorts the facts,” Grassley wrote at the time.

In their March letter to Barr, Grassley and Graham pointed specifically to emails quoted in the Statement of Offense against former Trump adviser George Papadopoulos.

That court filing said Papadopoulos emailed another campaign official in May 2016 with the subject line, “Request from Russia to meet Mr. Trump.” The document said the email stated that Russia “has been eager to meet Mr. Trump for quite sometime and have been reaching out to me to discuss,” adding in a footnote that the official forwarded the email to another campaign official asking to discuss: “We need someone to communicate that DT is not doing these trips. It should be someone low level in the campaign so as not to send any signal.”

The senators said media outlets then seized on the fragments to report a “Campaign official suggested ‘low level’ staff should go to Russia.” However, they said the full emails — obtained from the Trump campaign — tell a different story.

“In full context, the emails in question actually show that the Trump Campaign wanted someone ‘low level’ to decline these types of invitations,” Grassley and Graham wrote in the letter to Barr.

The senators added: “Another citation was reported by some news outlets as evidence that the campaign, notably Papadopoulos and Sam Clovis, encouraged personnel to meet with the Russians.” This line in the original court document said that a campaign supervisor (later identified as Clovis) told Papadopoulos “I would encourage you” and another adviser to “make the trip” if possible, with regard to a meeting with Russians.

The senators wrote, however, that “additional context shows that Papadopoulos had conversations with representatives from multiple governments, not just Russia, and that Clovis had opposed any trip to Russia for Mr. Trump and the campaign.”

Papadopoulos pleaded guilty to making false statements to FBI agents in October 2017 in connection to the Russia investigation and is currently on a 12-month supervised release from federal prison. He is now seeking a pardon from Trump.

Meanwhile, in late February of last year, Graham and Grassley also sent a letter to Horowitz requesting that his office look into “potential improper political influence, misconduct, and mismanagement” of the counterintelligence and criminal investigations into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia before Mueller’s appointment.

“The referral was based in part on materially inconsistent statements reportedly made by Christopher Steele, the author of the anti-Trump dossier funded by the Democratic National Committee and the Clinton campaign during the 2016 presidential election,” their letter to Barr states.

It continues: “The documents we have reviewed also raise questions about the role Bruce Ohr, a senior Justice Department official whose wife worked for Fusion GPS, had in passing allegations from Steele and Fusion GPS to the FBI after the FBI had terminated Mr. Steele as a source.”

The IG’s office is reviewing potential surveillance abuses by the FBI, as well as leaks out of the bureau and improper gifts received by officials.

Good luck with all that.

Given what we know about the make-up of the Special Counsel’s Investigative Staff, it is a wonder that the findings contained in the Mueller Report proved what President Trump had been saying all along: NO COLLUSION.

I find it puzzling that more has not been made as to who the “man behind the curtain” was who was controlling the actions of the DOJ, FBI, and the rest of the Deep State Operatives who began their mission even before Trump officially became the Republican Presidential Candidate.

Of course, they were leaking to the media.

There is so much obvious stuff that we have found out about this operation, including things which seems odd on their own until you put 2 + 2 together.

For example, why did Barack Hussein Obama move into a house with his Girl Friday, Valerie Jarrett, just scant blocks from the White House, instead of leaving town like every other President has in the past?

Why did Special Counsel Robert Mueller hire 17 Democratic Donors as his Special Investigators?

Why did Mueller go silent and Obama reappear into the national spotlight with the Midterm Elections just a couple of months away?

Why did Robert Woodward and the New York Times publish a book and an op ed using stories from “unnamed sources” as to how awful the Trump White House was right before the Midterms?

Average Americans remain extremely skeptical concerning the actions taken against Trump by the Department of Justice and the FBI.

Americans between the coasts believed for over two years that Mueller and his “17 Angry Democrats” were nothing but a political lynch mob, tools of the Democratic Party.

And speaking of….Democrats ( you thought I was going to say “tools” didn’t you?) Former President Barack Hussein Obama was not well received at all by average Americans with his ego-driven diatribe against President Trump and the Economic Recovery which America is experiencing.

In summary, what I trying to say is what a lot of us have been thinking and saying for well over two years:

The Democrats, in conjunction with Career Washington Bureaucrats working in various aspects of government, including the DOJ and the FBI, were performing surveillance and working against Donald J. Trump, both when he was a candidate and throughout his Presidency. And, they were following orders from President Obama in order to secure the Presidency for Hillary Clinton.

It’s time for Attorney General Barr to investigate this entire matter and for President Trump to get the plunger and to drain this part of the Swamp.

Until He Comes,

Hillary Tells Dems That They Cannot Be Civil With Us “Deplorables” Until They Regain Power

On By kingsjesterIn Politics1 Comment

hillary

“You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables,” she said. “The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic—you name it.” – Hillary Clinton, Democratic Candidate for the Presidency of the United States of America, 2016

FoxNews.com reports that

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.

Speaking to CNN’s Christiane Amanpour, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee said, “That’s why I believe, if we are fortunate enough to win back the House and/or the Senate, that’s when civility can start again. But until then, the only thing Republicans seem to recognize and respect is strength.”

Clinton’s comments come amid escalating attacks against Republican lawmakers and Trump administration officials by left-wing activists.

Republican Sen. Cory Gardner, R-Colo., said Sunday his wife had received a graphic text message with a video depicting a beheading, after Gardner voted to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Before and after the vote, thousands of demonstrators stormed the halls of Congress and steps of the Supreme Court to protest Kavanaugh.

Last week, Democratic intern Jackson Cosko, who recently worked as an unpaid intern for Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, also was arrested for posting the personal information of Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., Mike Lee, R-Utah, and Orrin Hatch, R-Utah on Wikipedia — including their home addresses.

During the Kavanaugh battle, two female activists cornered Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., in an elevator and screamed at him, with one of them repeatedly demanding he look at her as she accused him of suggesting her own sexual assault “doesn’t matter.”

And days earlier, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and his wife Heidi were hounded out of a restaurant by protesters peppering the senator with questions about Kavanaugh and chanting “we believe survivors” and “cancel Kavanaugh.”

The tactic of hounding lawmakers and Trump officials out of restaurants became more prevalent in June, when White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders and Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen were driven out of restaurants amid the backlash over the separation of illegal immigrant families at the border.

Such confrontations were encouraged by Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., who days later called on supporters to confront Trump officials in public spaces.

“If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them and you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere,” she told a crowd.

This week, Republicans have been pushing back against such tactics. Some have pointed to the shooting of Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., at a Republican baseball practice last year as a reminder of how heated rhetoric can lead to much worse.

Kelley Paul, the wife of Sen. Rand Paul, revealed that she now keeps a loaded gun by her bed after her family has “experienced violence and threats of violence at a horrifying level.”

Isn’t it funny how those who claim to be the most tolerant among us, are actually the most intolerant of all of us?

So, anyway, here we are…with a bunch of paid and unpaid “useful idiots”, as represented by “The Queen of Mean”, Hillary Clinton, telling all of us normal Americans, living out here in the Heartland, how stupid and intolerant we are, for actually holding on to Traditional American Values and wanting to “Make America Great Again” through the election of Donald J. Trump to the office of the President of the United States of America.

I have heard this kind of garbage before.

Back in 2011, I got into a discussion on Andrew Breitbart’s Big Government website with some Cheetos-munching, Mom’s basement-dwelling Lib with no home training, who proceeded to tell me that he would be proud to defecate on the American Flag.

If I could have reached through my computer monitor and throttled that useless, ungrateful spoiled brat, I would have.

That “dude” was yet another example of the useful idiots of this present generation, such as the members of Antifa, who seem to be garnering a lot of national attention for their outrageous, disrespectful…and, yes, intolerant, behavior.

Just as we have bore witness to the glorification of thugs and the vilifying of our local police departments by the Obama Administration and the local “communities” which they lay their lives on the line for, every day they put on their uniforms, the effects of LBJ’s “Great Society” on American Culture and the Black Family Unit, so are we witnessing, through the egocentric behavior of this present generation, what happens when children are left to “their own devices”, instead of being raised “in the way in which they should go”.

These “spoiled brats”, like Hillary Clinton herself, do not care about the “Will of the People”, but, rather, they are intent on implementing and enforcing their Far Left Political Ideology, resulting in a “Tyranny of the Minority”, which we are seeing play out, as paid and unpaid protestors attempted to stop the Nomination and Installation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh as our latest Associate Justice on the Supreme Court Trump’s Campaign Rallies, in an attempt to somehow halt the fulfilling of President Trump’s Campaign Promises in order to stop comeback of America which he has been responsible for and to hold on to their “FREE STUFF” bestowed upon them by the “benevolent masters” of the Democrat Party.

If you have ever attempted to debate a Liberal on a Facebook Political Page or a Political Website, they always attempt to present their opinions as facts, with nothing by Political Rhetoric to back them up.

The use of Karl Marx/Saul Alinsky-inspired “Class War Politics” by the Democratic Leadership, while promising to somehow restore Barack Hussein Obama’s “share the wealth” failed Domestic Policy, has inspired these self-absorbed Modern American Liberals to act like the Bolsheviks of the Russian Revolution, in an attempt to create a divided nation, the likes of which has not been seen since “The War of Northern Aggression”. for the sole purpose, as Senator Lindsey Graham pointed out last week, to gain back their political power.

When our Founding Fathers sat down to provide form and substance to the laws and procedures for governing this new country, which they had fought and won a bloody war over, by pledging their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor, they were very aware of the price of tyranny and the danger of mob rule.

They determined that this new nation would be a Constitutional Republic, having had their fill of monarchies.

And, that Sacred Document, our United States Constitution, gives each of us the right, including Trump, to speak our minds and be heard.

It gives the protestors of the Presidency of Donald  J. Trump that right, too…but, not at the expense of others, by attempting to destroy a good man through lies and innuendos or by strong-arming and harassing those who refuse to believe the way they do, for the expressed purpose of denying someone their First Amendment Rights.

Our Constitution, in fact, allowed then-Democratic Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton to call all of us who believe in Traditional American Values and the preservation of American as the Greatest Country on God’s Green Earth “Deplorables”.

However, that same Constitution, which Americans have fought and died for to preserve, also gives me the right to label Hillary’s Self-entitlement-driven condescending Political Ideology for what it actually is:

“HYPOCRITICAL INTOLERANCE”.

Kavanaugh Unleashed – America Witnesses the Righteous Anger of a Good Man

On By kingsjesterIn Politics1 Comment

Before I went to work yesterday, like a lot of you I was watching and listening to the testimony of Professor Christine Blasey Ford in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee regarding a claimed sexual attack by Supreme Court Nominee Brett Kavanaugh which supposedly occurred over 35 years ago.

I was able to watch her entire emotional testimony.

Emotional…but, not factual.

Which actually, if you think about it, made her a perfect representative of the Far Left Democratic Party who also are very emotional and always short on facts.

After her testimony, the Fox News panel of “experts”, including Chris Wallace and Brit Hume, lavished praise upon her, with Liberal Chris Wallace and Judge Andrew Napolitano both describing her as highly credible and sounding as if they believed that Kavanaugh’s goose was cooked, with Wallace mournfully saying that “This is a disaster for Republicans”.

Little did they know that what would happen next would “cancel that disaster”.

Per Fox News Insider,

Judge Andrew Napolitano said Judge Brett Kavanaugh “came out swinging as he needed to” in his opening statement before the Senate Judiciary Committee Thursday.

Napolitano called Kavanaugh’s fiery opening remarks a “clear and almost ferocious defense of himself.”

He said Kavanaugh echoed the tone and tenor of Justice Clarence Thomas, who also called his own hearing “a national disgrace.”

“He went through every allegation… and presented a clear and convincing and believable and forceful defense,” Napolitano said.

Napolitano said his own tone has changed since first analyzing the state of the hearing.

He said that after hearing from Kavanaugh, it is clear that Republicans are no longer “gloomy” if they were, going into the hearing.

I took my lunch around 3:30 pm Central Time. The break room TV was on the CBS Coverage of the Hearing.

What I was privileged to witness will stay in my memory until I meet “The Author and Finisher of My Faith”.

Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, a gentleman who was always in the shadow of his mentor, the late Sen. John McCain, stepped out of that shadow yesterday afternoon and said to those assembled exactly what average Americans living between the coasts have been thinking since Feinstein and the Dems first started this smear campaign against Judge Kavanaugh.

Again, per Fox News,

“This is the most unethical sham since I’ve been in politics,” a visibly angry Graham said from the dais while pointing at Democratic senators. “And if you really wanted to know the truth, you sure as hell wouldn’t have done what you’ve done to this guy.”More on this…

Graham added: “Boy, y’all want power and I hope you don’t get it.”

Graham personally addressed Kavanaugh to apologize for the questioning of his high school yearbook comments and his beer drinking habits.

“If you’re looking for a fair process, you came to the wrong town at the wrong time,” Graham said. “This is hell.”

Democratic senators have been bringing up Kavanaugh’s yearbook as they question him about Ford’s allegation of sexual assault when they were teens. Kavanaugh denies the allegation.

The senior senator from South Carolina also had pointed words for any Republican senator who is considering not voting to confirm Kavanaugh.

“To my Republican colleagues,” Graham said. “If you vote no, you are legitimizing the most despicable thing I’ve ever seen in my time in politics.”

Last evening, when things were slow, I looked at my Facebook News Feed and a buddy from high school wrote that the Midterm Elections were no longer about Republicans vs. Democrats, they were now about Good vs. Evil.

He was exactly right.

The Far Left Democratic Party feels no shame about what they have attempted to do to a very good man.

To those who wish en masse to change our Constitutional Republic to a Democratic Socialistic nightmare, the concepts of right and wrong have become so twisted as to resemble Bizarro World from the old Superman Comic Books.

One of Judge Kavanaugh’s daughters told her sister one night as they prepared to say their evening prayers that “We should pray for the woman”.

God bless that sweet child.

Yes, we should pray for Dr, Ford and the rest of the Far Left Democratic Party that they will realize that this is still America and not a Marxist Nation where you are “Guilty Until Proven Innocent” as they declared the Judge to be before yesterday.

And while we’re at it, we should thank God for good people like Judge Kavanaugh and his family, who are willing to go through Hell in order to serve our Sovereign Nation.

President Trump chose his nominee for the Supreme Court well.

Until He Comes,

KJ
