Brett Kavanaugh nomination moves into bizarro male-bashing land

The Supreme Court nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh has moved out of the field of nomination and into the bizarro field of male-bashing. Kavanaugh's confirmation has now become the left's means of publicly hating on males -- white males, in particular, at least according to "View" host Joy Behar.

Brett Kavanaugh should stay the course, stand strong

Judge Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court hearings have devolved into a cesspool of she-said, her-attorney-said accusations -- and from that, Democrats have run roughshod, demanding a postponement and wait for it, wait for it, killing of the entire nomination.

On Sunday, Aug. 12, 2018, Ellison denied an allegation from an ex-girlfriend that he had once dragged her off a bed while screaming obscenities at her. The allegation came just days before a Tuesday primary in which the Democrat is among several running for state attorney general. (AP Photo/David Zalubowski, File)

Karen Monahan, Keith Ellison accuser, sends Democrats much-needed smackdown

The Democrats may think they're about to sink their shark teeth deep into Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh, via an out-of-left-field sexual assault allegation from a woman, Christine Blasey Ford, touting a decades-old high school party story. But here's a "hey you guys" moment from none other than the woman who accused Keith Ellison of -- get this -- domestic abuse. And who has supporting statements and medical records to prove it.

Google’s new pollution police, coming to patrol a neighborhood near you

Google's Street View fleet of cars is being outfitted with updated pollution-recording devices to patrol streets in Europe and in the United States, and monitor fluctuating levels of air quality. Make way for the patrolling pollution police -- bringing regulations and new compliance costs to a neighborhood near you.

Eric Holder, back with an anti-Donald Trump bluster

Eric Holder came forward at a recent Human Rights Campaign dinner to say, shock of all shocks, President Donald Trump is a fear-mongering disaster who's busily selling so-called patriotic lines to like-minded bigots as part of a desperate political ploy to keep ahold of his White House power. Yawn. This is Holder's whole schtick

Brett Kavanaugh getting raked over high school coals

Democrats have scored a big one with their latest on Brett Kavanaugh, going all the way back to high school to give voice to a female who's weighing in, mid-#MeToo movement time, no less, with some scathing accusations that the Supreme Court nominee, in his teen years, once pinned her to a bed at a party.

Psychology’s shameless political shenanigans

Gina Loudon -- author of a new book that she said on Fox News would show with "science and real data and true psychological theory" why Donald Trump is one of the most "sound-minded" presidents of all time -- has unleashed a hornet's nest of liberal outcry, most notably from the therapists of the nation.

David Hogg, now on Nikki Haley, the headache that keeps on coming

David Hogg, the teenage Parkland-shooting-sufferer-turned-political activist, took to Twitter to call out U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley as an audacious failure who ought to resign her post pronto. If only Hogg's reasoning were sound, maybe he wouldn't be such a headache.

CNN poll admits ‘Impeach Trump’ short on facts

A new poll from CNN found: Most Americans just don't think there's enough evidence there to impeach President Donald Trump. The heck you say. Nope. It's true. Even pollsters serving the mainstream media gods couldn't sell this one.

Ann Coulter, with a ring toss: Jared Kushner wrote New York Times op-ed

Ann Coulter, conservative columnist, said in a recent interview with the Daily Beast that Jared Kushner, son-in-law to Donald Trump, is the one who penned the anonymously published presidential hatchet job in The New York Times. It's a bit of a stretch. A bit of a ring toss.

President Obama's directive ordering schools to accommodate transgender students has been controversial in some places but since 2012 Seattle has mandated that transgender students be able to use of the bathrooms and locker rooms of their choice. Nearly half of the district's 15 high schools already have gender-neutral bathrooms and one high school has had a transgender bathroom for 20 years. (AP Photo/Elaine Thompson) **FILE**

New York City’s new genderless abomination

Members of the New York City Council and Board of Health voted to add a third gender category to birth certificates -- "X" -- beginning in 2019. With a stroke of a pen, confusion prevails. Male, female, whatever. The vote means anyone can self-identify as anything, no doctor's note needed.

Google video highlights hubris of left

A newly revealed video from 2016 of Google executives pining about the just-elected Donald Trump and vowing to take whatever steps necessary to "educate" the American people in the way they should go is a blunt reminder of just how stupid Democrats think we are, and how smart they think they are.

Michelle Obama, back with a racially charged vengeance

First came Barack Obama, with a speech from the University of Illinois, reminding conservatives everywhere why America is so, so, so lucky to have survived eight years of his administration. Now comes his wife, Michelle -- reminding of more of the same. Hooray, the gang's all here.

Sept. 11 story of faith and hope

P.J. Schrantz, an Army veteran and former firefighter who worked alongside the heroes of Sept. 11 to rescue those who could be rescued and deliver from wreckage the bodies of those who could not, described his darkest hour as one of sitting in a hotel room, beer in hand, cocaine stash in front, gun to head, curse of God on lips.

Barack Obama, the GOP thanks you

Barack Obama's return to national television may have jarred -- particularly the channel surfing crowd, but also the patriotic types who spent the eight years of the previous administration crossing off "Days Left" on their calendars. But in the end, his broadcast speech was a good thing -- for Republicans.

PLO-D.C. to close, as Trump ratchets pressure on Palestinians for peace

Here's a headline that would never be seen in the prior Barack Obama administration days: White House to shutter Palestinian Liberation Organization office in Washington, D.C. But new administration; new day. President Donald Trump is not so willing as the prior White House to place the Palestinian people in the same moral equivalency box as the Israelis.
