Kavanaugh Smear Just Gave
a Self-Damning Radio Interview

Her approach to reporting the story is a textbook case of confirmation bias. There is no substantiated evidence of any sexual misbehavior by Brett Kavanaugh at any point in his entire life. Several shaky claims have been made along these lines, but all of them are badly undercut by available evidence. None of them is more likely than not to be true.

Comments:

'Pogrebin says. “We decided to go with it because obviously it is of a piece with a kind of behavior,”'
"obviously it is of a piece with a kind of behavior"
A kind of behavior where political activists, pretending to be journalists, make up horrific allegations that cannot be proven or dis-proven against people they disagree with in order to destroy them personally and professionally?
She may think she is speaking of Justice Kavanaugh in this sentence,
but it could just as easy be self-referential.

What a crock by the two women. Both NYT reporters. Would they like to be accused with no foundation. The left will be its own downfall. We in the middle and independent voters are really sick of this crap. I might not always agree with DJT but I will vote for him. The Dims have no credibility.

Note that, to date, the so-called victims of Kavanaugh did not file police reports documenting their experiences and initiating legal action. Doing so would likely entail an investigation and possible charges and court proceedings. Instead, these assertions of what happened are best classified as propaganda likely intended to undermine the credibility of Kavanaugh in future Supreme Court proceedings. Propaganda circumvents the legal system and denies the accused the Constitutional rights afforded by that system, including: * The right of the accused to confront the accuser including the right to cross examine * Established rules of evidence such as inadmissibility of hearsay * The responsibility of the accuser to prove the charges. Until then, the accused is presumed innocent What has been done and continues to be done to Kavanaugh is grossly unfair.

If Ramirez was so very traumatized by something that happened at Yale that she couldn’t talk about it, either she is very emotionally unstable or she was subject to something brutal. A penis in the hand isn’t brutal and really actually something humorous to recount.

When the racist card fails, the Dims always fall back on the 'sexual predator' accusation. It started with Anita Hill, worked on Roy Moore, almost worked on Kavanaugh, so why not go to the well one more time. It's note worthy that these kind of charges are enhancements to a democrats career!

A semi-interesting bit of trivia is that the reporette's name, Pogrebin, derives from the Russian for "to bury". Which is the Left's goal in all this in the first place. Even more interesting, though, is that the Pogrebin is also a Harry Potter character . . . a foot-tall Russian demon with a hairy body and an oversized grey head. Read this description: "The Pogrebin is attracted to Humans, and enjoys trailing them. When the Human turns around, the Pogrebin crouches down, and, because of its large head, resembles a rock. If the beast manages to tail a Human for a few hours, a sense of despair and futility will wash over the Human. When the victim sits or sinks to its knees to weep, the Pogrebin attacks and attempts to devour them. Fortunately, the Pogrebin can be fought off with simple dark charms, Stunning Spells, or kicking." A profile of your average God-hating leftist/communist/demoncrat. Who said the devil isn't clever?

I've been saying for a while now that NYT (and others) are no longer serious outlets of Journalism, they're the club newsletter for the DNC. As such, you should have no expectation that their writers will exhibit journalistic integrity, because they're not journalists, they're zealous advocates for a political ideology, and zealots aren't interested in facts, they're merely pushing propaganda that advances their cause regardless of whether that propaganda is based in fact or fiction, and usually it's the later. These two women should be ashamed of themselves for such lack of professional integrity, but as I also like to say, libtards like them are incapable of shame or embarrassment, because these zealots really do believe they're doing the Lord's work.

The latest fad in liberal reporting. Start with your conclusion and gather evidence that supports your conclusion. Ignore all evidence that does not agree with your conclusion. This seems to occur and be accepted in both tv and print media with reckless abandon today.

Make no mistake, this article and their cockamamie book are a shot across the bow of any potential Judicial Nominee from the Trump administration to replace Ruth Buzzy Ginsberg, should she retire or die. The message is clear as day: "We will smear and destroy you, your career, your family if you have the temerity to cross us and possibly impede our access to our precious abortions."

The line O.P. quotes is grammatically tortured enough to qualify as incoherent. The story is a piece with a kind of behavior... the piece behaves how? Oh, I guess it libels a good man with lies that nothing can confirm, that kind of behavior. The culture of death's scorched-earth strategy for defending women's legal right to kill their babies is to kill truth. Not just a particular truth, but truth, itself. Lord, have mercy.

I write this sincerely; I am not trying to be crude. But the claim against Kavanaugh is that multiple friends pressed his penis into the hand of a young women while they all attended a college party. I want to know: Who were the friends? If you can remember who the victim is, why can't you name the "friends" who were (a) touching Kavanaugh's penis and (b) placing it into the victim's hand? Also, how often do men whip out their genitals at parties -- even at college parties? Is that pretty standard practice at college parties? For the sake of argument, let's stipulate that guys -- including Kavanaugh -- were whipping out their penises at this or other college parties. What guy allows a friend to touch his penis? What guy allows multiple buddies to do so? And Kavanaugh isn't into guys. But let's say Kavanaugh was into guys. Let's say his buddies were into guys. Would they be pushing his "business" into the hand of a woman? Or would they be keeping his business to themselves -- cuz they were into him? Bottom line: How likely is this scenario in any college setting involving any straight males? And how likely is it for Kavanaugh and is pals? Not very likely in my opinion!

Diplomatic immunity does not extend to terrorism, and that is very bad news for Iran's embassies.

There were voluminous reports, from eyewitnesses and experts, of widespread election fraud in the so-called battle states and beyond. Specific allegations were made, and evidence of election rules violations and statistical anomalies were collected. Yet the courts refused to listen to virtually all witnesses and experts, rejected most of the evidence, and refused to subpoena more evidence requested by the plaintiffs. Many state government officials and some top representatives of companies supplying voting machines and software categorically denied any election fraud.

Love them or hate them, electric vehicles (EVs) are in our future. If you doubt that, look at signs. Car companies around the world are in a mad rush to pivot to EV manufacturing. Some examples follow. "Since March 2019, General Motors has committed to invest more than $4.5 billion in three U.S. manufacturing sites to prepare for EV-related production. The company announced it plans to release at least 20 new electric vehicles globally by 2023." This includes a monstrous Hummer which GM is repositioning as a pickup truck to compete directly against Tesla.

“Minneapolis residents in some areas still recovering from rioting and unrest are forming community watch and security groups, some bearing firearms, to fight a surge of crime,” reports the Wall Street Journal. While no one can blame the residents — in fact they should be applauded for doing what it takes to protect their own – this is, in ways I’ll explain below, not good.

Americans from our earliest days as a nation have rejected authority, especially when it seems arbitrary and comes from government that seems out of touch with ordinary citizens. Such a domain of authority is extremely delicate when it involves the powers of police to protect public order and safety. Collective large group consciousness and unconsciousness embraces and grants permission for such use of force by the police.

I’ve been aware of Marc Lamont Hill as a long-time political contributor at CNN, but apparently, he’s weaseled his way into not only a professorship (Professor of Media Studies and Urban Education at Temple University) but a news gig at BET. Now, if what Hill does has any connection to news, then I’m Minnie Mouse. He’s one-hundred percent a radical, leftist activist who gives his opinion all day long. The most recent example came Monday night, in a video Hill shared on Twitter. In the video, which runs just over two minutes, he chides black protesters who he claims aren’t down with the Revolution.

Her bill HR 1 trashes the U.S. Constitution in an attempt to rig the system and make it virtually impossible to elect a Republican president or Congress again. It’s a power grab.

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.
