Kavanaugh Wins Appointment

Brett Kavanaugh has won appointment as a Justice to the US Supreme Court on a 50 to 48 vote this afternoon in the US Senate. Kavanaugh gathered the votes of all Republicans, except for Steve Daines of Montana, who was not present, and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, who simply voted present. Meanwhile, all Democrats cast no votes except for Joe Manchin of West Virginia, who sided with the Republicans in approving the appointment.

Some protesters tried to disrupt the vote and had to be removed from the chambers. Other demonstrators outside the Senate were arrested.

Kavanaugh Has The Votes!

It’s looking more likely Brett Kavanaugh will be appointed the next Justice for the U.S. Supreme Court. Both Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Joe Manchin, D-W. Virginia, announced Friday that they plan to vote in favor of Kavanaugh’s appointment. Previously, they had been undecided. Likely, Kavanaugh will draw 50 or 51 votes —  a slim majority — but still a majority, and enough to end the impasse over his nomination. Anthony Brian Logan has more.

Styxhexenhammer666 wonders about the losing Democrats. They aren’t pivoting on Kavanaugh, they are whirling around like salty tornadoes. Now, they distrust the FBI they once so loved and are declaring an investigation they themselves wanted “insufficient.”

Lionel Nation says the Congress earned the disrespect and distrust of the public. Using just a little bit of alliteration, he says, “The Kavanaugh cacophony and coprolalic caterwauling cemented the collective contempt of citizens.”

Republican Senator Susan Collins of Maine and Democratic Senator Joe Manchin from West Virginia will vote to confirm Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. The Five from Fox News react, with former Democratic National Committee chairwoman Donna Brazile sitting in for Juan Hamilton.

Mark Dice captures some of the last-minute lunacy of the Leftists, ranging from Chuck Schumer’s niece Amy to the Muslim provocateur, Linda Sarsour. It is good to see Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., find his mettle and start to challenge these losers and whiners.

And, in case you missed it, Mark Dice has the full speech by Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, announcing her decision to support Brett Kavanaugh and painting a vivid portrait of the damage his opponents mean to wreck upon the American governing system. We have been opposed to Democrats for some time, but we have never before had an opinion so negative toward these political opponents. They not only have overplayed their hand, they have outlasted their welcome. Time to vanish them all until they clean up their act!

The Winner: Justice Kavanaugh!

H.A. Goodman says Brett Kavanaugh will be confirmed as the next Justice on the U.S. Supreme Court.  Late into the night, more Senators announced they would be voting to confirm Kavanaugh. He was said to have the support of Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., Bob Corker, R-Tenn.; Susan Collins, R-Maine; and Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska. With Republicans lining up solidly behind him, Democrats began to drift over as well, starting with Joe Manchin, D-W.V. As many as six or seven other Democrats could vote to confirm Kavanaugh, but even if it’s only  two or three, he will be named to serve on the Supreme Court.

Dick Morris calls Brett Kavanaugh’s appearance Thursday before the Senate Judiciary Committee one of the greatest moments in political history in recent years. Not only did Kavanaugh provide a convincing statement defending himself from the smears and slurs that have been leveled against him by the Leftist Democrats, but he likely sealed his victory as the next Supreme Court justice. Morris expects nearly all Republicans to vote for Kavanaugh’s nomination, plus 4 or 5 Democrats facing tough races this fall and wanting to be perceived as moderates.

Liz Wheeler from One America News says the Kavanaugh hearings show how Democrats have put a target on the backs of all men. They are perverting justice. No longer are you innocent until proven guilty. Now, women can levy flimsy, contrived charges — even ones supposedly 30 or 40 years old — and use those to smear you. It’s not at all the American way, but it is part of the Democrats’ warped attack to destroy our country, our way of life, our families, our religions, our culture

GOP Takes the Edge

A new “shock poll” bears out what we’ve been saying for months: The Democrats are going to lose their shirts in the 2018 Mid-Term elections. Dr. Steve Turley says the new poll shows the supposed Blue Wave has completely vanished. Instead, the Republicans now have a six-point edge going into the election. In five states, the Democrats are in serious trouble and could lose Senate seats — West Virginia, Indiana, Missouri, North Dakota and Montana.  Also, there has been a shift toward the right across the Midwest in Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan and Ohio, so it’s highly unlikely the Democrats will seize many House seats, or state Legislatures.

Again, we’re not surprised. The Democrats have not done any hard work since their defeat in the 2016 election. They have not come up with bright, new ideas or tried to shift their policies to conform with the public. Instead, they are turning more hardcore Leftist and pushing baloney lies, like the whole trumped-up set of charges surrounding President Trump supposedly collaborating with the Russians. Time for the Democrats to wise up: Either stop lying or get lost. We don’t want you and we don’t need you, either.

Meanwhile, in the primaries, Democrats keep pushing more to the Left. Dick Morris calls it “Dem suicide watch” as he notes the number of hardcore leftists they are advancing to the November Mid-Term — Leftists who don’t have a chance in hell to win!

Hillary Praises Her Mentor

How quickly Democrats forget. They are attacking President Donald Trump, yet they are the party that stood for slavery, the party that ran with the KKK, the party of Hillary Clinton’s mentor — Robert Byrd, the bigoted senator from West Virginia.

President Greets Boy Scouts

A crowd of 45,000 goes wild and salutes President Donald Trump at the 2017 Boy Scout Jamboree in West Virginia. The Boy Scouts not only cheered the president but also chanted “U-S-A!” President Trump’s visit stands in contrast with former President Obama, who skipped making any appearances at the Boy Scout Jamboree. Figures, Obama being a leftist shyster! More from the BBC.

Feds Can’t Fix Healthcare

Why is the government so bad at healthcare? Why did Obamacare make it more expensive than it already was? Is there a solution? Former Member of Congress Bob McEwen explains in a video from PragerU.

Meanwhile, Dick Morris weighs in on the lame Republicans’ failures to address Obamacare. After arguing years for repeal, now we have idiot senators like Utah’s Mike Lee, Kansas’ Jerry Moran, Alaska’s Lisa Murkowski and West Virginia’s Shelley Moore Capito refusing to budge, gumming up the Republican Party by insisting on their own variations as opposed to upholding the party’s pledge to the public to end the bloated healthcare mess. Enough! Every one of these holdout Republicans should be cast out of the Senate, and shunned by voters, the same as we treat the scumball Democrats.

Styxhexenhammer666 says perhaps it is time the Feds got out of the healthcare business and let it operate on purely capitalistic principles. Sure, there might be some drastic consequences, but none worse than the bloated stasis caused by massive government intervention.

Senate Within Range for GOP

Political pundit Dick Morris is making predictions again. Thirteen months after his prognostication debacle in the 2012 presidential election, in which he predicted a Romney landslide  victory, Morris says Republicans will capture the Senate in 2014.

“We need six seats to win the Senate,” he says. “Three of them, as I’ve said, are easy pickups: West Virginia, South Dakota and Montana. All three of them have retiring Democratic incumbents, very strong Republican candidates and very weak Democrats running for the seat.”  Morris said the real test will come in four crucial states: Alaska, Arkansas, Louisiana and North Carolina. Listen in to Morris’ rationale in this edition of “Dick Morris Reports.”
