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?”

[5sep18 update]  Social justice as it is.  (H/T to correspondent)

Nike

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).

    Re: Senate SCOTUS confirmation hearing.
    I expect disruptions like this in the House with the wacky ones going berserk per usual but not the Senate. The Senate has always prided itself as being above the fray. The theatrics this morning were most amusing at first, but they are boring already. Very choreographed with the 2020 hopefuls giving their campaign speeches and selected protesters in the chambers taking their turns when to screech and get booted out. Disputing the Chairman when he is speaking is out of order. Ah heck, Chuck Grassley is 84 years old and has seen it all. Let the children pound their spoons and throw their food for the cameras as they are playing right into the sound bite and meme ridicule.
    Judge Kavanaugh has record of 300 decisions on the DC Circuit Court, the most significant and influential Circuit Court in the land when one considers most cases never go beyond the Circuit Court. Guess the Senators cannot gleam a clue about Kavanaugh’s legal mind with 300 opinions. Ironically, Judge Kavanaugh is in the same group as M. Garland by voting 96% of the time with the majority in rulings decided in the Circuit Court. Kavanaugh is the best judge the moderators could ever hope for. But, that’s not the point now, is it?
    The real point of holding the hearings today and the next few days is it was never supposed to reach this stage. Too funny.
    I got a grand idea. Let’s redo the electoral college vote count and maybe Hillary can lose even more delegates. The monkeys are really trying to hump the football for the next three days. And they are lecturing the Chairman about decently, ROFLMAO. Oh my. Wile E. Coyote has singed up hair all over his mug and a puff of smoke arising from his head…again.

    Not surprising in the least Linda Sarsour was arrested protesting Judge Kavanaugh. When you for adovacte Shiria Law, anyone who follows the Constitution is the enemy of your agenda. Opps, Linda has other enemies as well. Add certain Muslim-Americans to the list. Isn’t Mrs. Sarsour a co-founder of the Woman’s March? She was the one not wearing a pussy hat.
    “Sarsour is consolidating that opposition by warning that any attempt at dialogue, any view of Israelis as human beings, rather than faceless things to be destroyed, is “not the position of the Muslim-American community.”
    This is the bigot that the Democrats have embraced. While we get lectures from the Dems about violent racism, they’re once again flirting with genocide.”

    This whole spectacle is not about Trump. It’s more like setting UC Berekely ablaze to shout out and prevent another’s chance to speak. It’s all about the choice we have in November. Whether you side on the peacefully right to assemble and debate, or the Brown Shirts lawlessly storming the debate to disrupt, disturb, destroy, and silence any opposition. Very 3rd world Banana Republic of the Democrat Communist Party of America. Or very Satin, Mao, Klemperer Rouge of our friends on the left. Burn it down! No, the choice is clear this November.

    How did the Senate block Obama from presenting a nominee?
    Obama nominated Merrick Garland, a jurist that ranked to the left with RBG to fill the Scalia seat, THE textualist/originalist on the court. The fellow whose opinion was not that there was a living constitution, that it was dead and in rigor mortis. If you want different words, there’s a process for amending it.
    The advise given was there was no desire to run Garland through the Senate in parallel with the 2016 Presidential primary season, running along with a third of the Senate. After November, Obama would have been free to renominate Garland. Hillary could have said during her campaign that she would renominate Garland if she won but she made it clear to her base that she’d find someone even more to the Progressive extreme. Oh, well.
    There is nothing new or extraconstitutional for the Senate not to schedule hearings for Garland, and one President, His Accidency, John Tyler, was thrown out of his own party (the mostly libertarian Whigs) who ended up sitting on TWO empty SCOTUS seats waiting for the next election and a new President.

However, the merit of the idea is a different topic which we cover here on a regular basis. The best way to implement is yet to be determined.
    And do you know what the additional 50K pages contained that the Dems demanded? Recall that the Dems had already received more pages, including 300+ rulings, than the total submitted for the previous three SCOTUS nominees. Try to be fair and balanced 😉
    Marty 710pm – Hot flash; the Senate denying Obama’s attempt to nominate an opposing ideologue at that point in the election cycle was through a well-established procedure. The Senate majority leader has it in his power to determine – i.e. make a political decision – when such proceedings may or not fit into that body’s schedule.

    There is the public record of 300 Kavanaugh rulings along with a dozen legal papers he has written. These papers are not political op-eds, but in-depth analysis of legal and constitutional questions written to law societies. In addition, the public record has over 100 lspeeches Kavanaugh has given to law societies, law schools, and legal bodies that are lengthy and include in depth question and answer periods that delve into legal considerations on both sides of an issue. The complete body of the nominee’s legal opinions and thought processes on the court is there for all to see to get a thorough understanding of the Circuit Appeals Court Justice’s legal mind and philosophy. This is in additional to hundreds of thousands of documents the Committee has received which could fill a room stacked floor to ceiling. And they “need” more.
    If the Dems are too lazy or too stupid to garner the Circuit Appeals Court Justice’s legal mind from the public record alone, then you can’t fix stupid. They cannot attack his character, his judicial temperment, or his record. Oh wait a cotton pickin’ moment. He put season tickets for himself and his son on a credit card! He has debt! Opps, he paid off this credit card balances. There has to be dirt somewhere, they just know it.

    The Dems always want more. More taxes, more censorship, more regulations, and more of that money that corporations have. And now more paperwork from the George W. Bush Presidntial Library and his White House records.
    I could be wrong, but President Trump was the only presidential candidate to announce as a candidate a list of his Supreme Court picks. A list of 20 for all to see. All three debates had questions asking each candidate what they would be looking for in Supreme Court Justice.
    I could be wrong, but the 2016 Presidntial election was the first Presidential election in many moons that had an open SCOTUS seat to be filled that was a campaign issue. Trump stated irrevocably that he wanted someone of the mode of Antonin Gregory Scalia and nothing less. Hillary Rodclam Clinton wanted someone left of Garland. She not name a pick or release a list of her picks for all to see.
    There has plenty of time for the Lefty smear political machine to find dirt on Kavanaugh. Plenty of time since the list has been in the public record for a couple of years. Now they act surprised and need more…more time. Guess Kavanaugh’s credit card balance did not gain traction. He’s in debt to the Big Banks!

    “The Supreme Court must never be viewed as a partisan institution,” Kavanaugh added.

    As you recall, after the death of Justice Antonin Scalia in February 2016, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) deferred Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland to SCOTUS, insisting, “The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president.”
    McConnell deflected protests by declaring, “We’re following the ‘Biden Rule.’ Biden was chairman of the Judiciary Committee in 1992, in a presidential election year. He said the Senate should not act on filling a Supreme Court vacancy if it had occurred [in a presidential election year]. … So, all we’re doing … is following a long-standing tradition of not filling vacancies on the Supreme Court in the middle of a presidential election year.”
    McConnell’s bold action to delay Senate consideration of Obama’s nominee until after the 2016 election was one of the most consequential moves by any Senate leader in decades. McConnell, who has oft been chastised as an “establishment Republican,” deserves full credit for this gambit, which returned enormous dividends in support of a Supreme Court now controlled by a razor-thin 5-4 majority of those who respect our Constitution, rather than those who loathe it.
    Thus, after Trump’s stunning defeat of Obama’s leftist successor, Hillary Clinton, his first SCOTUS nomination to fill the Scalia vacancy was Judge Neil Gorsuch, an originalist in the mold of Justice Scalia.
    Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) pledged that Democrats would filibuster the Gorsuch nomination, and he laughably insisted, “The irresistible, immutable logic is, if the nominee doesn’t get 60 [votes], you change the nominee, not the rules.” But in 2013, when then-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) changed the rules for federal bench nominees to avoid filibuster, Schumer proclaimed, “We much prefer the risk of up or down votes and majority rule [on judicial nominees] than the risk of continued total obstruction. That’s the bottom line no matter who’s in power.”
    So McConnell did the unthinkable — he played by the same rules that Obama, Reid, and Schumer had in order to bypass a Republican filibuster.
    Then came the Demos’ worst judicial nightmare: Their fervent hope that no other SCOTUS seat would open up before they could retake the Senate in the 2018 midterms was dashed when Justice Anthony Kennedy announced his retirement in June.
    That brings us to this week, as Trump nominee Brett Kavanaugh began his four-day interrogation by Senate Demo-gogues.
    ——————————-
    Quotes
    “Happy Labor Day. There’s no better time to talk about why workers’ rights would suffer if Brett Kavanaugh … is confirmed.” —Hillary Clinton
    “Just remember, the arguments are not the same. We are arguing for a constitutional justice. They are arguing for a left-wing justice.” —Andrew Klavan
    Justice Scalia was the Supreme Court’s strongest voice for Rule of Law, the “original intent” of our Constitution as opposed to the Left’s so-called living constitution. To that end, he wrote, “As long as judges tinker with the Constitution to ‘do what the people want,’ instead of what the document actually commands, politicians who pick and confirm new federal judges will naturally want only those who agree with them politically.”

    Sorry Bill,,,Biden never said ‘“until we have a new president’’’ that is what Magoo McConnell wanted,,,but nice try on an excuse
    ‘“That “rule” is, of course, not actually a rule at all, but rather one in a sea of bipartisan pull-quotes that have been deployed by one side or the other in order to prove that, gee whiz, senators like to get their way on lifetime appointments. In Biden’s case, the quotes in question come from a two-minute stretch of a June 25, 1992 speech on the floor of the U.S. Senate.”’
    ‘“The tradition against acting on Supreme Court nominations in a Presidential year is particularly strong when the vacancy occurs in the summer or fall of that election season. Thus, while a few Justices have been confirmed in the summer or fall of a Presidential election season, such confirmations are rare — only five times in our history have summer or fall confirmations been granted, with the latest — the latest — being the August 1846 confirmation of Justice Robert Grier.
    In fact, no Justice has ever been confirmed in September or October of an election year — the sort of timing which has become standard in the modern confirmation process. Indeed, in American history, the only attempt to push through a September or October confirmation was the failed campaign to approve Abe Fortas’ nomination in 1968. I cannot believe anyone would want to repeat that experience in today’s climate.“‘

    Hey!! LIBERALS!!!,,,, Didn’t you learn anything ? Look who just pulled a Nancy.
    “Pass it and then figure out how to fund it,” Nixon said.
    “In her quest to become New York’s next governor, Cynthia Nixon has advocated for a single-payer health care system in the state – something studies have shown would be a costly endeavor.”

    Sorry, but the “Biden Rule” is regarding Presidential election years… you know, ’68, 72, 76, 80, 84, 88, 92, 96, 2000, 04, 08, 12, 16, 20. NOT the off year election of 2018.
    So this year ain’t an election year by the Biden Rule or the Schumer Rule (which was no SCOTUS nominees by GW Bush would be entertained by the Senate for the last two years of the Shrub).
