The usual nonsense from the Left doesn’t take log to appear. The usual suspects lurk on the fringes of anything really stupid.

Here We Go: Kavanaugh Accuser’s Legal Team Rejects ‘Artificial’ FBI Investigation Deadline

Today was supposed to be simple. The Senate Judiciary Committee was set to vote on advancing the Supreme Court nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Senate floor. Then, 60 hours of debate, followed by a final vote on Tuesday. It was going to be a party-line vote. It was going to be dotted with Democrats once again whining about the process. They also want an FBI investigation into the sexual misconduct allegations lobbed against Kavanaugh. [snip]

None of the three allegations hurled against him have any evidence or witnesses. It’s devolved into a circus. On top of that, Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) decided to stab his party in the back.

Yes, the committee voted to advance the nomination, but not before Flake decided to take the role of Benedict Arnold, suggesting a delay in the final confirmation vote in order to have the FBI investigate the claims. It’s on a weeklong timetable. Sens. Murkowski (R-AK), Collins (R-ME), and Manchin (R-WV) all jumped onboard supporting this measure. The White House, now forced into a corner, has formally ordered the FBI to conduct an investigation. It’s the wrong move. Flake decided to give this left wing smear campaign another week of oxygen, allowing more time for last minute shenanigans to possibly occur. [snip]

And to no one’s surprise, Ford’s legal team rejects the “artificial limits” of the investigation (via Fox News): [snip]

Do you wonder if Kavanaugh is thinking “Paybacks are a bitch”.

‘Radical vegans’ strike fear into the hearts of French butchers

When the stone slabs crashed into her butcher’s shop window last week, Elisabeth Cure became the latest victim of “radical vegans” who are trying to force a change in eating habits in traditionally meat-loving France.

The attack in a quiet town of Saint-Arnoult-en-Yvelines, 50 kilometres (30 miles) southwest of Paris, took place at 3:00 am, startling Cure as she slept above the store.

As in other similar incidents around France over the last year, her tormentors left a tell-tale tag scrawled on the shopfront: “End the Repression”.

“That’s how I knew it was radical vegans,” she told AFP.

Incidents of vandalism and intimidation have reached such a level that the country’s butchers’ confederation, representing 18,000 businesses, sounded the alarm publicly in June and asked the government for protection. [snip]

The answer to these acts of violence is to fracture skulls, cause severe pain upon said protesters. A line is crossed when one takes up weapons for the cause.

The sole reason for this fight over a SCOTUS candidate is the loss of the court as a means of advancing a Progressive agenda.

The Unrelenting Left: If Kavanaugh Is Confirmed, This Is What Democrats Will Try To Do To Get Rid Of Him

[snip] Let’s recap where this nomination hit a snag: The committee vote was slated for today, but Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) decided to drop a bombshell: a woman named Christine Blasey Ford, alleges that a drunken Kavanaugh, then-aged 17, tried to sexually assault her at a party. This dropped at zero hour. DiFi had the letter since July, never told her colleagues about it, and apparently didn’t think much of it since it was never brought up during the hearings. Maybe it’s because the allegation has no evidence, no solid witnesses, and it’s over 30 years old. Ford can’t remember how she got to the party, how the party itself came together, and who owned the house where this attempted assault reportedly took place. Kavanaugh has denied the allegation. [snip]

Feinstein’s comeuppance for this bit of politics when she should be voted out of office.

 

This turned out to be another barrel of BS.

Backpedaling? Ford’s Lawyer Sends a Letter to Grassley With Grave Concerns

One of the attorneys for Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s first sexual assault accuser, sent a letter late Monday night to Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley expressing concerns about the format of Thursday’s hearings. [snip]

So he has grave concerns. Where did he get the idea that he has anything to say about procedure. If he didn’t like the arrangement, he could take his strumpet and go home.
