Harvey Weinstein has been exposed in the
media as the sexual
predator he is, and Hillary Clinton has been exposed as the
craven money-grubber she is; money over
morality is the mantra she lives by. PATRICIA Mc CARTHY – AMERICAN THINKERcom
"But
what the Clintons do is criminal because they do it wholly at the expense of
the American people. And they feel thoroughly entitled to do it: gain power,
use it to enrich themselves and their friends. They are amoral, immoral, and
venal. Hillary has no core beliefs beyond power and money. That should be clear
to every person on the planet by now."

On Kavanaugh, has disgraced Dianne Feinstein finished herself off?
On Kavanaugh, has disgraced Dianne Feinstein finished herself off?
As Sen. Lindsey Graham unexpectedly elevated himself to statesman during the last of the Senate hearings on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh Thursday, Sen. Dianne Feinstein dropped herself to bottom of the barrel as a political hack. Her performance, from start to finish, was a disgrace. It was so bad, so loathsome, even to the left, that it's hard to think it won't cost her her Senate seat, where she is in a tight race this November.
Here was the exchange on the Senate floor just yesterday, and Fox News has a video here:
"Only at an 11th hour, on the eve of Judge Kavanaugh's confirmation vote, did the ranking member refer the allegations to the FBI. And then the allegations were leaked to the press. That's where Dr. Ford was mistreated. This is a shameful way to treat our witness, who insisted on confidentiality, and Judge Kavanaugh, who has had to address these allegations in the midst of a media circus."
Feinstein responded to Grassley's criticism when she began her opening remarks, saying, "Yes, I did receive a letter from Dr. Ford ... the next day, I called Dr. Ford, we spoke on the phone, she reiterated that she wanted this held confidential. And I held it confidential, up to a point where the witness was willing to come forward."
Here's a rundown of how bad she was:
1. Feinstein got a letter from a constituent alleging sexual harassment by Judge Brett Kavanaugh during his high school years. She sat on it for 60 days, only to bring it up after hearings were concluded, obviously for some political bang, following the news that Kavanaugh would likely be confirmed without incident.
2. Asked about it at the time, Feinstein said she had questions about whether it was 'truthful.' That was her argument and stayed her argument, until Ford became politically useful.
3. Then Feinstein, or someone on her staff obviously leaked the letter to the press, following Feinstein's promises of confidentiality to the writer, effectively outing her, and forcing her to come forward as a named witness whether she liked it or not. That backed the witness, Christine Blasey Ford into a corner, forcing her to come forward with her allegations in testimony under oath, which, given the perjury trap it was for her, were quite vague. Ford herself said she believed she was betrayed and outed by someone on Feinstein's staff.
4. That was obvious enough when Feinstein was instrumental in getting Ford a leftwing lawyer to do the media grandstanding.
5. After that, Feinstein was confronted about her political opportunism by Sen. Ted Cruz, and tried to brush the whole thing off, begging his question about how the letter was leaked by saying reporters were the problem, not leakage. Pressed by another senator, she said she asked their staff and they said no – as if Feinstein, who employed an utterly untrustworthy Chinese spy on that same staff for 20 years – should just take their word for it. Sneaky leakers would never lie, now, would they?
It's bad stuff, political manipulation of the worst sort, and both sides have been right to call her out on it. Her denials are pathetic, failing to address any of the issues at hand, whether of legislative duties, leaks, or admitting blame. She's obviously put political gain ahead of doing her job, and she stands now as an unfit member of the Senate.
Couple it with her employment of that Chinese spy for 20 years and her defense of the Steele dossier, and an ugly Jurassic partisan hack picture emerges.
Even people on the left can see it. I've always been content voting for Feinstein, or at least held my nose and voted for her, given the crazed lefty alternatives we have seen on the California ballots. But this may be the end of it. Feinstein is being challenged by a crazed far leftist of the worst Sacramento-swamp stripe, leaving virtually no good alternatives for voters at midterms. Although many Republicans are flocking to that crazy rival of hers on the ballot, Kevin de León, it looks like write-in time for many normals. This woman has got to go.

Bill Cosby: Jailed because He Is Black
Formerly nicknamed "America's Dad," Bill Cosby – convicted of ugly sex offenses – will have incarceration as his life's epilogue.
Cosby is the first high-profile figure felled criminally in the era of #MeToo. This movement stretches back to 2006, when JustBe Inc. began the "me too Movement™"as a program to support women who have suffered sexual abuse. It took off as a cultural phenomenon with über-liberal actress Alyssa Milano's October 2017 tweet requesting that abuse survivors respond with the "me too" hashtag subsequent to the reporting of film producer Harvey Weinstein's prolific sexual misconduct. Nearly two million #MeToo tweets went out before the end of that month.
The #MeToo train gathered steam as other power brokers were called out for their indiscretions. The media and the political swamp took hits: Matt Lauer, Charlie Rose, Al Franken, Eric Schneiderman. A new epoch of justice had emerged; the days of tacit acceptance of nasty behavior by powerful men came to an abrupt end. Even against those about whom claims of misconduct are questionable, the #MeToo hammer became a powerful bludgeon. Just ask Brett Kavanaugh.
It is really no surprise, then, that in the current climate, Bill Cosby finds himself in jail. This is not to suggest that Cosby is innocent of the charges; his case has been adjudicated twice, with the second trial resulting in a guilty verdict. Of note, however, is that the convicting jurors indicated in their closing statement that they "believed [Cosby's] accuser's account and [were] persuaded of his guilt by the facts, not the momentum of social change captured in the #MeToo movement."
Kudos to the jurors if they were able to put aside the pressure of #MeToo in rendering their decision. But unless this panel was composed of individuals whose technological savvy stopped with the telegraph, it is quite likely that, their protestations notwithstanding, #MeToo influenced (at least tacitly) the jurors' thinking.
Beyond #MeToo, racial identity politics is an inescapable consideration in the Cosby case, yet the New York Times reported:
"Not once were race or the #metoo movement ever discussed, nor did either factor into our decision, as implied in various media outlets," the jurors, whose names have not been released, said in the statement.
Maybe the jury was truly colorblind. But by overtly denying that they were affected by racial factors, methinks the jury doth protest too much. Would Cosby have been prosecuted – would the jury have convicted him – had he remained loyal to leftist racial politics? We can never know for sure, but the jury came from Allegheny County – which CNN called a "blue pocket of the post-industrial United States," having voted 58% for Democrat Conor Lamb in the March 2018 special election. It is not unreasonable to think a majority of the Cosby jurors were politically liberal.
The left repeatedly complains that America administers unequal justice for black men. Cosby's publicist, Andrew Wyatt, decried his client's sentence as the result of "the most racist and sexist trial" in American history. This is somewhat hyperbolic (Emmett Till's family might disagree with Wyatt's pronouncement), but in the age of NFL kneelers, it is unlikely that racial identity politics did not figure in Cosby's case.
What are we to make of a black male celebrity found guilty as charged while a cadre of similarly accused white notables (including the former POTUS, Bill Clinton) – who have been censured, fired, demoted, or ousted from office for the same type of bad behavior – have not faced criminal justice consequences? Current leftist orthodoxy would have us believe that "white privilege" has shielded Weinstein, et al. from prosecution, while Cosby's color led him to a criminal conviction. But the left has largely sat by idly in his case. Why? Because a form of racialism was dropped on the scales of justice against Cosby: that of a black American bucking the trend of liberal orthodoxy on race.
Cosby set himself up for abandonment by the left back in 2004, when he addressed the NAACP at a celebration commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Brown v. Board of Education decision. In his remarks that evening, Cosby is quoted as saying:
In our cities and public schools we have fifty percent drop out. In our own neighborhood, we have men in prison. No longer is a person embarrassed because they're pregnant without a husband. No longer is a boy considered an embarrassment if he tries to run away from being the father of the unmarried child[.] ... In the neighborhood that most of us grew up in, parenting is not going on. In the old days, you couldn't hooky school because every drawn shade was an eye. And before your mother got off the bus and to the house, she knew exactly where you had gone, who had gone into the house, and where you got on whatever you had one and where you got it from. Parents don't know that today. I'm talking about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange suit. Where were you when he was two? Where were you when he was twelve? Where were you when he was eighteen, and how come you don't know he had a pistol? And where is his father, and why don't you know where he is? And why doesn't the father show up to talk to this boy?
Cosby's condemnation of the diminishing standards of conduct that he had observed in the black community tarnished his progressive credentials. On CNN with Don Lemon in 2013, Cosby dug his own hole deeper by bemoaning the rampant fatherlessness among black families while calling for more black men to proactively participate in family life and childrearing.
When criminal allegations began to surface in 2014, Cosby's stardom shielded him from immediate public outrage. But dozens of alleged victims came forward, making the feasibility of his guilt palatable in the court of public opinion. He survived a 2017 mistrial just before #MeToo reached its cultural apex, but in April 2018, Cosby was handed a guilty verdict.
The #MeToo movement has taken down several prominent libidinous scalawags, but outside Cosby, none of these liberal elites has been indicted for a sex crime. John Conyers, serving in Congress since 1965, was forced out of his House seat in December 2017 because of sexual harassment allegations, yet he has had no criminal charges filed against him. Why not? Could it be because Conyers, a black Democrat, has never strayed from liberal-progressive politics? None of the white scoundrels exposed by #MeToo has ever abandoned his progressive dogma, either.
Racial tension is characteristic of modern American politics. The left is openly hostile toward any black American in the public eye who encourages blacks to engage in free thinking, hold a positive view of Donald Trump, or express concern about the internal problems of the black community. Cosby had already slid into persona non grata status by being a black man willing to suggest that problems within black America are not exclusively the result of white racism. Had Cosby stayed within the bounds of racial grievance expected of black Americans, perhaps he would be living in uncomfortable ignominy rather than dreading his retirement in an orange jumpsuit.

Hollywood Urges No Vote on Kavanaugh over ‘Entrenched Misogyny’: ‘Government Is an Abuser’
Hollywood celebrities from Amy Schumer to Alec Baldwin expressed outrage Friday as the Senate Judiciary Committee plans to vote on Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination.
Both Brett Kavanaugh and his accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, testified in a Senate hearing Friday. Kavanaugh stunned the nation with a passionate defense of himself and his reputation.
Several celebrities sent social messages urging their followers to help stop the Senate Judiciary Committee vote to move Kavanaugh’s nomination forward.

“Respect to Doctor Ford for standing up and telling her story. For my family, my daughter and people who value the truth, you are a hero and on the right side of history,” actor Ben Stiller tweeted.
Alec Baldwin chimed in, tweeting, “I hear @SenBobCorker is ready 2 vote 4 Kavanaugh.
U can just picture the scenario. Big donors calling campaign finance directors. Implied threats. None of these men/women have an honest, sincere thought to share. They are bought and sold, everyday. The US Senate is a disgrace.”

Alyssa Milano tweeted a message to the GOP — “November is coming.”
Milano also questioned the honesty of Judge Kavanaugh.
“This is hurtful and wrong. Everything about yesterday was unambiguous, as is the entrenched misogyny of these men,” Ashley Judd said.
“Watch and get ready to vote #GOP out come November. With their refusal to have an FBI investigation or even to call the most important witness, Mark Judge, they have tainted this candidate forever. He’ll wind up just like #ClarenceThomas who NEVER spoke in public for 30 yrs,” Bette Midler tweeted, comparing Kavanaugh to Clarence Thomas.
Many celebrities also urged their followers to call their senators, especially Collins, Corker, Flake, and Murkowski.
Comedian Amy Schumer urged followers to attend “Cancel Kavanaugh” events.
