BALTIMORE, Maryland Thursday, September 25, 2018: It is almost torture to listen or watch Christine Blasey Ford testify. She apparently would have us believe that she has never ever had a shred of doubt that Judge Kavanagh attacked her at a gathering back in 1982. The smug jerks from my party make it all the fault of the GOP that politics in Washington is at the point it currently is at. Ford recovered her nerve, not when Kavanagh was first appointed or when he was subsequently appointed, over and over. Some six background checks came and went during the silence.
In case you did not know, those background checks would've been the 'correct' time. Then her story could've been properly vetted. She did name four people who were at the small gathering she describes. All four have been contacted. Not a single one corroborates any of her story. This includes other the other woman (women?).
It was Ms. Ford who decided, herself, that she was not going to reveal her information back when it actually could've been investigated by Montgomery County, Maryland police in a way that would be meaningful.
But the Corey Bookers of the world act like Ford is heroic. No she is not. If Kavanagh is a bad judge, then how many bad judge rulings has he made while she sat on the information?
Senator Feinstein knew the substance of what she was going to say some nine months ago. She remained silent. Were this a real court room, Ms. Ford would not have been allowed to testify when she sat on her chance to do so at the proper time.
Ford said she did not want to fly across the country because flying is traumatic for her. Okay. But she flies all over the place on other occasions, when it suited her.
A whole lot of people said when the day's hearings had ended that they were both believable. For those saying that, including a lot of knuckleheads on the TV, they were going out of their way to avoid the 500-pound guerilla in the room. That guerilla is, of course, the fact that the relevant events happened 35 years ago. Only one of the witnesses is responsible for that: Ford.
And then there is this: Ford identified everybody she said was there, save for one person. All of the identified people said it did not happen, even Ms. Ford's best friend.
Ford waited way too long, and even then, all of the witnesses, even those sympathetic to her in most every circumstance, said no, that did not happen.
It did not happen.

The Enduring Shame and Perversion of the Ultra Left
BALTIMORE, Maryland September 25, 2018 - On Monday evening, Brett and Ashley Estes Kavanaugh appeared on Fox News with a prime time hostess, Martha MacCallum. Ms. MacCallum is not a 'dyed in the wool' conservative and thus the joint appearance of Mr. and Mrs. Kavanagh was seen as a bit dicier than would a similar appearance with the essential Sean Hannity.
The appearance was entirely successful in that it put the answer to all questions out in front of the American People. Judge Kavanagh looked everyone in the eye and said without reservation or caution that he did not do any of the sleazy acts for which he is being charged. He has been saying this, and anyone paying attention knows he is speaking truthfully.
Speaking for most Americans, Rush Limbaugh said on his Tuesday afternoon show that the Left believed they could hound Kavanagh into dropping his bid for the Supreme Court under the guise of wanting to spare his family even more of the despicable carrying on to which they are now being subjected.
If you do not now realize the extent of the sleaziness of the Media, Chucky Schumer, George Soros etc., then you really do not want to live your life in truth's circle. You need to admit to yourself that your life is a lie.
There are those who will scream sanctimoniously at me that I really don't know whether this Balsley Ford person is acting honestly. But I do.
Were she acting honestly, she would have begun telling the truth long before the President nominated Kavanagh to the Supreme Court. Kavanagh has been an important American Jurist for years. The only thing the Supreme Court nomination did was make him more of a household name.
So what was the motivation for Ford acting now, as opposed to some other time in the last 36 years? She wanted more bang for her buck. She acted in a way so as to maximize the political impact of her move onto the national stage. That was her entire motivation. Her co-operatives: Schumer, Dicky Durbin, Senator Feinstein etc., joined her in this cabal.
Many have predicted that when push comes to shove, Ford will not testify. I am one of them. If I am wrong, then more power to her.
If you are like me, you are wondering, with profound trepidation, at the limits of the Ultra Left's willingness to completely trash the lives of those on the right when they are asked to accept politically sensitive appointments. Sooner, rather than later, the quality of the appointments made by leaders on the right, will begin to suffer. It is actually already starting. Colin Powell has bowed to his wife and family's sincere requests that he not run for President. The Governor of Wisconsin, Scott Walker, has experienced similar pressures from his well-meaning family, but so far has continued to serve.
You have to notice that candidates on the left do not go through anything like the torture that conservative candidates endure. Were the protesting really spontaneous, then it would have to be accepted. But it is not spontaneous. The protesters and demonstrators for the Left are all or almost all paid operatives. Low brow Ultra Left money men like George Soros seem to have unlimited funds to devote to trashing the nation. A former Nazi sympathizer is, in fact, an anarchist, or so he says. How do people continue to support the left when someone like Soros plays so significant a role. Is there no shame?
Rush Limbaugh has placed the outcome of this sleazy carrying-on on the GOP members of the Senate Judiciary Committee. That is exactly where it belongs. Limbaugh insists that the Committee proceed at once to a vote on Kavanaugh. The left, clearly, is merely trying to delay the vote until after the Fall elections. If no Committee vote is taken soon, Kavanaugh will not be confirmed even though he is entirely innocent of all of these sleazy and false charges.
It is becoming clear that Ford herself doesn't want to come forward and testify, especially under oath. She is being subjected to the most awful pressure to testify and lie by Schumer, Soros and their operatives.
When Kavanaugh and his wife came to the public venue last night, he proved again how innocent he is. Why Senator Grassley and his cohorts are being so weak-kneed is beyond comprehension. They are digging the GOP's grave with every delay.
Folks on the Committee, get with it. Get a back-bone. Take the vote now.

UPDATE: Christine Blasey Ford Gives Confusing Signals About Her Willingness to Testify Against Kavanaugh; A Decision Not to Vote for Hogan
BALTIMORE, Maryland Friday, September 21, 2018: Before - not at the moment of - but before the President announced his selection of Brett Kavanaugh to fill the Supreme Court chair being vacated by Anthony Kennedy, the ultra far left, anti-American cabal that now runs the Democrat Party already knew what they would do to scuttle the Kavanaugh nomination.
You read that correctly. Even before President Trump had made his decision on whom to nominate to the Supreme Court, those hardcore, Anti-American Leftists who run the present-day Democrat Party, had already ramped up their sleazy plan to throw a decades-old sex assault claim (dream?} at one of the potential nominees. These Leftists include people who have far worse deeds on their resume - but no matter. The plan was hatched, discussed, and made ready to implement. Right Chucky? Right Nancy? Right George?
It was not a work in progress. The Anti-Americans that dominate the Democrat Party these days knew that if nothing else worked (you know what is meant here, right? We mean the freak show staged by the cabal of Democrats on the Judiciary Committee and their rogues gallery of operatives in the real gallery. These upstanding citizens hooted and hollered, interrupted, grunted and so on.) But if this didn't derail the nominating process, the Anti-Americans would call upon the leftist professor from California's tardy claim of sexual assault to create hell on earth for Kavanaugh and his family. And darned if they didn't do exactly that.
One of the aspects of this loathsome ultra-left show that most outrages many Americans in both parties is the claim by Democrat "Leaders" that the GOP is "rushing" the process to the detriment of the alleged victim. These are the "facts" of this shameful claim. The alleged incident took place during, they think, the summer some 35 (34? 36? 38?) years ago.
According to the alleged victim, 51-year-old Christine Blasey Ford, who now lives and works(?) in California, Kavanaugh was extremely intoxicated when this thing took place. Ford says the nominee pinned her to a bed and then, while both remained fully clothed, grinded his body against hers. She escaped when a third person in the room jumped on the bed, causing all three to fall to the floor. Kavanaugh, now married and the proud father of two teenage daughters, vehemently denies the incident. He has demanded the right to testify against the allegations. The third person said to have been in the room at the moment says he recalls neither the party or any such assault incident.
Ford doesn't want to testify on Monday before Congress. Monday is the day the Committee set aside to hear from both her and Kavanaugh. Instead, Ford wants the FBI to launch a new investigation into the incident, after which she says she will decide whether to testify. The FBI has no legal window to investigate Ford's ancient claim. The FBI does background checks of Supreme Court nominees and nominees for other judicial posts. Kavanaugh has had a total of six of these intrusive background checks and passed all of them. It is unclear whether they have looked into Ford's allegations. What is very crystal clear is that they would have looked into Ford's claims in a heartbeat had she come forward at anytime in the past 35 years.
Rushing? The Dems can't be serious.
Negotiations continued into Friday, and as I post this update, it appeared the parties were closer to an agreement. Ford is said to be insisting that Kavanaugh testify first - get your arms around that; he has a hard-earned reputation for telling the truth and he says he did not participate in any such incident. But she wants him to deny something he knows nothing about. She will not release the letter revealing the incident that was sent to California Congressional Democrats and she wants no corroborating eyewitnesses to testify.
The biggest sham of all might be the so-called couples therapy that Ford apparently says caused her to recall the 35-year-old incident. This writer is not a psychologist or anything of the sort. But the type of therapy used during this session in 2012 is said to have fallen into widespread disrepute. It would seem imperative that the Judiciary Committee delve into this. If the reason this method of therapy is rarely used these days is its propensity for causing patients to recall incidents that occurred nowhere but in their imagination, it is possible that, in fact, the alleged assault didn't happen anywhere but in the decades-old imaginings of a teenager. The Committee will risk allowing an outstanding human being to be completely destroyed by the production of false testimony. This is why the law frowns on this kind of 11th hour nonsense.
Neither Ford or the Dems seem to recall that it is they who have sat on the 35-year-old allegations until now. The very public process had a time for testimony from Ford, or from Senator Feinstein, who is said to have been in possession of Ford's letter for up to nine months. She had met privately with Kavanaugh in her Senate Office, but never broached the existence of either the letter or the existence to the Ford allegations. In a Washington Post story on Ford's charges, Ford is quoted as saying that she had never told anyone about the alleged 1980's incident "in any detail" before the 2012 couples therapy sessions. If you take the quote to mean what it says, then Ford has discussed the incident through the years, although not in any detail. Apparently - and in spite of media reports to the contrary - Ford has given any number of folk some idea about the fact that she was attacked by a celebrity judge when both were teenagers. While she says Kavanaugh was highly intoxicated, she concedes that she also had had a beer or two.
I listened in amazement this week when at least one dozen women called radio shows to describe horrific attacks on them by men of all description. Unlike Ford's sketchy allegations - she cannot remember the day or week, the location, the names of the others who were present and other consequential details - these other victims said they vividly recall every minute detail because they relive these evil incidents over and over again, One woman said she remembers "everything," and when she said the word, she drew it out to emphasize the role the horrid events now play in her life.
Ford concedes that both she and Kavanaugh remained fully clothed throughout the incident, although she alleges that Kavanaugh was trying to get her bathing suit off. After the alleged incident, Ford said she hid in another room in the house. Later, she left. Kavanaugh is not said to have pursued her. Original reports said the attack took place at a "party." Later reports described a more private get together involving her and one other female and up to four boys, counting Kavanaugh. Ford, apparently, does not recall the names of any of the other attendees. It is not known whether she claims to have always known Kavanaugh was the attacker or happened upon his identification in the therapy sessions.
The ever-awful Chucky Schumer angrily says the GOP is rushing the nomination to a vote. He does not mention that his client began telling people years ago about the incident, gave detailed stories about the event she claims to recall years ago, and wrote a letter giving full details of the incident and sent it to one or more California Democratic Congress Folk. Diane Feinstein, the California Senator, got a hold of the letter nine long months ago but sat on it until this past weekend.
Schumer skips all of these facts during his daily rants. Frankly, he is just not a good person. Imagine him as Senate President. Suddenly, the horrendous Mitch McConnell seems far-preferable.
Not that my one vote matters all that much, but, as a Maryland resident, I have decided that I cannot vote for Maryland's Incumbent Governor. I voted for him four years ago. Since then I have watched in amazement as he has done everything imaginable to convince Maryland Voters that he can be just as liberal as the Democrats. The last straw came right around the primaries, when, after sending elements of the Maryland National Guard to the Southern Border in response to the President's request, he announced that, on second thought, he was bringing them all home. No explanation was offered, but rest assured that Chucky and Nancy Pelosi were thrilled. This voter was not. Democrats like this one voted for Hogan because he promised stark change from the far left carrying on of prior Democratic Administrations.

Obama Emerges, But Lays a Huge Egg; Plus a Look at the Orioles and Ravens
Baltimore, Maryland Monday, September 10, 2018: Today, a lad called a radio talk show to express his profound incredulity over the broadcast comment of some actress, who said, on live TV over the weekend, "where is John Wilkes Booth when we need him?"
The caller continued: "I can tell you where this assassin is. He has come back to life as the [Mainstream] Media."
Who can argue? In 2018, the media has so lost its way that even people like this writer - liberal, a journalism school grad, a trial lawyer - no longer recognize it.
I don't buy into this song and dance about Trump being deserving of all of the Media's deranged expressions. Trump was elected by the American people. He won fair and square. He did not cheat, but Hillary Clinton did. She was caught in the act, but far left operatives have gotten her off the hook, for now. Trump has performed remarkably, considering all of the sickening nonsense thrown at him.
Someone told me that the evil far left would have done all of this "stuff" no matter who was elected, unless it was Hillary. I actually think that is true. The far left hates America and the American Democratic way of doing things. The evil far left believes that unless their people win a given election, the election should be ignored and overturned, whichever is easier. I could only get sick when I saw all the laudatory things said about John McCain. Although in his latter years I disagreed with lots of his political antics, I always admired and respected him. And unlike the hypocrites who took to the airways when he passed, I voted for him when he was matched up against Obama in 2008.
Not to change the point, but the audacity and absurdity of Obama - over this past weekend - taking the credit for the dramatic economic turnaround in these United States, a turnaround that began one second after it became clear that Trump has turned back Hillary's depressing bid to become President, is one of the most absurd, obtuse, and wrong-headed things Barackula has ever spit out. But there was the media, acting like it was true. If I snap my fingers, Mr. Ex-President, will you awake and fall back to reality? Why would he when life, for him, is far more fun when the media makes all of his goofiness seem logical.
A pro-Trump economist on the Council of Economic Advisors held a press conference this morning. In it he said he went back and looked over every imaginable economic indicator to see if even one of them foretold the great economic turn-around before the Trumpster won in November. To the surprise of neither the economist or most other rational Americans, the answer was no. All the numbers were southbound before Donald pulled the upset. But give Barackula credit, with the media having fallen off the deep end, (or jumped,) why not throw out junk science like that? There are bound to be a few dolts who buy in.
Sports: During the many recent months I haven't been writing here, the Major League Baseball season has largely played out. My beloved Orioles have laid a huge egg in 2018. A team that was largely the same one that remained in the hellish AL East race until Labor Day in 2017, was torn apart and thrown asunder. I don't like this kind of thing. If there are aging vets when it comes to rebuild, do it. But the lads the Orioles got rid of were young and up and coming: Machado, Scoop, Britton. These three are among the best three players in all of baseball. You could scheme for a lifetime and not come up with three players like that. What makes you think any of the guys we got in return were anywhere near as good? Only Machado was surely gone come free agency.
I hate to say it, but I think the Oriole brass thought they'd be fired come season's end unless they did something dramatic. So they did. It is really hard to watch what is left. But I do. All the bloody time.
The news is far better when it comes to the Ravens. They scored early and often on Sunday in crushing Buffalo, a team that made the playoffs last season. The final score, 47-3 Ravens, gave firm indication how well Baltimore played and how awful the Bills played. The Baltimore defense was breathtaking. Joe Flacco was nothing short of wonderful. Now, this Thursday night the Ravens travel to Ohio to take on the Bengals. If they post a win there, they could be off to a wonderful season.
