Rapidly decreasing sperm counts in western males.  The trend is now over 40 old and presumably contributed to by some ‘endocrine disruptor’ chemicals in the plastics we use. (here)  Now that is a real shot in the shorts because low sperm counts are also harbingers of all kinds of other maladies in men as reported at a recent conference in Sweden.  The Singularity cannot arrive too soon. (here)

The Senate hearings to empanel Judge Kavanaugh are once more illustrating the trademark thuggery of the Left when they cannot have their way through established civil procedures.  Police this morning have arrested over 20 people who attempted to disrupt the hearings when Dem members of the Judiciary Committee failed with their own attempted disruption to again demand tens of thousands of irrelevant and supernumerary documents which will not impact their publicly declared opposition to Kavanaugh one whit.  Astute readers will remember how the Left went nationally ballistic in 2016 when candidate Trump hinted that he might protest election irregularities for which some DNC instigated rumors were already coming to light.  Instead, they have demonstrated for the last two years what real political disruption looks like in the wake of a legal and duly conducted election won by someone they don’t like.  More later.

Disingenuous Dems.  Given what the reading public already knows about Judge Kavanaugh, does anyone really think that the Dems on the Judiciary Committee really believe what they are saying about the nominee, especially that his confirmation to SCOTUS will destroy America as we have known it???  If enough Americans believe that tripe, then this may finally be the real litmus test giving fair warning that we should immediately form an active federal commission to start working toward a peaceful Great Divide.  If not, then can we not assume that these Dems are simply evil in what they are trying to purvey to their least read and intellectually innocent constituents?

OK, time for some giggles on this auspicious day.  A guy goes into a bar in New York where all the bartenders are robots.  The guy sits down at the bar and the robot asks, “What will you have?”.  The guy replies “Whiskey.”  The robot brings back his drink and asks, “What’s your IQ?”  The guy says, “168”.  The robot talks about physics, space exploration, and medical technology.

After the guy leaves, he pauses at the street corner and thinks about what he just encountered.  And the more he thinks about it the more curious he gets, so he decides to back.  Another robot asks, “What’s your drink?”  The guy answers, “Whiskey.”  The robot returns with his drink and asks, “What’s your IQ?”  This time the man replies, “100.”  The robot talks about NASCAR, Budweiser, LSU football, and All-star wrestling.  The man finishes his drink, leaves, but is so interested in this ‘experiment’ that he decides he’ll try again.

He enters the bar and, as usual, a third robot asks him what he wants to drink.  The man replies, “Whiskey.”  The robot brings the drink and asks, “What’s your IQ?”  This time the man answers, “50.”  The robot leans in real close and slowly asks, “So, are you people still unhappy that Hillary lost?”

NYT RIP.  With its publishing an anonymous editorial of extremely scurrilous content today (here), the Gray Lady has hammered the last nail – from the inside – into its coffin as ‘the nation’s newspaper’.  Henceforth we can anticipate its resurrection as The Nation’s Tabloid.

[7sep18 update]  Sen Ted Cruz (R-TX) gave good account of the Dems’ behavior in the Kavanaugh hearings, and it further illustrates how the media are shortchanging an already shortchanged electorate.  Sen Cory Booker (D-NJ) is the Judiciary Committee’s poster child of a grandstanding demogauge spewing BS.  Ms Robin Diel does an excellent job summarizing the Senator Cruz’s remarks in the 7sep18 Union (here).

    ,,,Sorry Gregory,,,Biden does not make mention of ””’Presidential elections””’ although he made the speech before an upcoming presidential election.
    He said after the election which would allow time between November and January to nominate a candidate.

    From POLITICO Morning Media.
    The first-person opinion piece, “I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration,” hit like a thunderclap in Washington – as well as in the Times newsroom, where reporters were blindsided. The op-ed raised a host of ethical and journalistic questions many have never considered before, including whether Times news reporters – who work independently of the editorial department, which published the op-ed – should now set about determining the identity of an anonymous Times opinion writer.
    – One Times reporter said colleagues were already volleying back and forth with sources, trying to guess the writer’s identity. But for others, a sense of annoyance quickly set in, with some journalists frustrated about the position the Times’ editorial page had put the news section in.
    KICKER
    “Here’s what’s gonna happen. Sooner or later we are gonna find out who the anonymous NYT op-ed writer is. He/she will hailed as a hero. Will get a book deal. Cable TV gigs. Harvard fellowships. The predictable rewards for having your Trump cake and eating it too.” – The Washington Post’s Karen Attiah
    Yes, we will find out who wrote the Resistance Op-ED and it not be by NYT reporters. It will be a blogger

    Funny. Keachie/M is trying (919pm) to make the case that the Biden/Schumer/McConnell rule didn’t mean Presidential election years and chose a justice whose seat had been open for two years… because it became vacant during the last year of His Accidency, President Tyler, the defrocked Whig whose Senate threw him out of the Whig party.
    Russ, good news about Happer, thanks for the Motl link, I’d fallen out of the habit of reading his blog.

    From Wednesday’s Kavanaugh’s hearing with Senator Di-fi.
    Interesting look into the mind of the liberal. She changes the question of ‘common use’ of semi-automatic handguns and semi-automatic rifles to assault weapons (fully automatic weapons). Slight of hand.
    Kavanaugh replied that, as a circuit judge, “I don’t get to pick and choose which Supreme Court precedents I get to follow. I follow them all.”
    After some back and forth, Feinstein interjected, “Let me interrupt you. I think we’re on totally different wavelengths. I’m talking about your statement on common use, as common use being a justification. And assault weapons are not in common use.”
    Kavanaugh responded that semiautomatic weapons were protected, since “there are millions and millions and millions of semiautomatic rifles that are possessed, so that seemed to fit common use.”
    Feinstein interrupted to argue that numbers of guns owned does not determine whether they are in common use.
    “You’re saying the numbers determine common use?” she asked. “Common use is an activity, it is not common storage or possession. It is use. So, what you said was that these weapons are commonly used. They are not.”

    Not since 1831 has a Justice been confirmed in August or September, especially before an election.
    The pathetic pubbers had to go nuclear in their desperation to get the Garland nomination quashed.
    Now they want to confirm another one right before another election.

    from M – “The pathetic pubbers had to go nuclear in their desperation to get the Garland nomination quashed.

    Not a desperation move – just a power play. And of course they want to confirm another. How is this any different from the Dems? When the Dems rule again they’ll do the same sort of thing. Where do you think the Rs learned all this from? It’s Constitutional and legit.
    As St Obama said: “elections have consequences”.
    Don’t worry M. The brain-washed young and the illegals will soon run the country and it will be glorious for you. For a while, anyway. Your type is usually the first into the boxcar or the ramp to the guillotine.
