[A reader alerted me to another gem of the FUE's logic. He takes to task those who criticize the People's Republic of Kalifornia, and still (gasp!) take their leisure at the state's awesomely scenic locales. The man's brain cannot separate terribly gone wrong social policies from the state's natural beauty, as if eschewing one requires rejecting everything that is still good about the state, and that mainly because the progressives have yet to eliminate the last vestiges of such enjoyments (e.g. denying/limiting public access to TBD 'wildlands'). This thinking by local lefties is replicated in Sacramento, because those are the idiots that the gimmes all over the state have now voted into power. And that California now has achieved the nation's highest poverty rate gives additional depth to the ignorance of these leftwing loonies. gjr]

“A police officer who responded to the scene wrote in his reports that O’Rourke “almost fell to the floor” when asked to get out of his vehicle. His Blood/Breath Alcohol Concentration levels were 0.136 and 0.134.
A witness to the crash told a police officer that O’Rourke had driven by him at a high rate of speed in a 75 mile per hour zone, then lost control of his vehicle and “struck a truck traveling the same direction.” O’Rourke’s vehicle then crossed the center median and came to a stop.”

“The only senator on the Judiciary Committee to dismiss Ford’s claim was Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who sat on it for weeks until it was ripe enough to weaponize. The Republicans instantly offered to give Ford a hearing, in private or in public or even in California.” —Jonah Goldberg
“Saving the Supreme Court from Trump’s clutches has always involved a very complicated two-step: first, block Kavanaugh, then fight like hell to win back the Senate. If Kavanaugh drops out, we’re halfway there. If Democrats are able to win back the Senate, we’d have a path to blocking Trump from picking any of the archconservatives on his shortlist.” —former Hillary Clinton adviser Brian Fallon
“It’s fun watching all of these liberals suddenly transform into teetotalers scandalized at the notion of teenagers drinking and partying.” —Matt Walsh
“Sadly, the Left demands more due process for accused terrorists at Guantanamo Bay than for well-qualified Supreme Court nominees.” —Gary Bauer
“In a way, I think it goes with the territory. I don’t like that [protesters] were blocking [Ted Cruz’] wife, but that’s what he signed up for. And as a strict constitutionalist, which Ted Cruz is, he knows it is protected under the First Amendment.” —CNN’s Don Lemon

Kavanaugh confirmation hits major snag after Flake seeks FBI probe
Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) on Friday brought Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination to the brink of victory, then into significant uncertainty, in a matter of hours.
The swing-vote senator announced his support for President Donald Trump’s high court pick Friday morning. But after a dramatic series of closed-door meetings with senators from both parties, he said that he would “only be comfortable” voting yes in the end after the FBI investigates a sexual assault allegation against Kavanaugh.

Good job Todd on the editorial. You must be having a ball with them, but I stay on the Editorial.
Look, there will always be a cloud over Clarence Thomas. Forever. Remember, these are the kind of nutjobs that spent hours squawking like hens running around with their heads hanging by a torn sinew because of FOTUS boarded a plane in heels, lol. Then they run to the police with a torn down Deport Berekely Traitors sign to let the authorities be on the outlook for the Klan near where he parks his car, lol. Hmmm. Come to think of it, that double dipper voter they just arrested here did vote also in Alemeda County.
The FBI could and did investigate Anita Hill and Thomas because both were federal employees at the time and she was slimming him for “his words”, and it was a federal workplace violation so the FBI had jurisdiction. Never mind the FBI cannot investigate a crime they cannot prosecute, per their rule book. Neither mind Anita Hill said Clarence talked about watching Long Dong Silver, a porno flick that had not been made yet at the time Clarance was running around the office, lifting his robe, grabbing his Long Dong Silver and swinging it like a rope over his head doing the ole Huckleberry Hound “Yippie-I-O!” thang. Oh Anita got instant tenure anywhere she chose after that. She is in the Black History Museum at the Smithsonian.
The FBI background checks on Kavanaugh is just checking out if he is a National Security threat. They already have talked to every neighbor, mean ole Jesuits with rulers and bare knuckles at his prep school, etc. Di-fi can’t order an FBI Investigation or she would have. She knows it. Everybody knows it. And those millions of millions of dollars pouring in to hire hundreds to turn over every rock for the last two months….and they still haven’t found nothing. Hordes of reporters, hackers, and deviates running around digging and looking under cow pies. They have identified the homes of the 5 boys and none of them are even close to Country Club, lol.
If someone figures out how to get the “Care Closed” FBI on it, they will go through the motions and knock it out in two days. There are some folks that said they don’t want to talk to the FBI and the FBI can’t make them. “I want to be left alone,” said Greta Garbo.
There is one who says she believe Dr. Ford, but has never met Brett Kavanaugh. Guess the Dems don’t trust Presidential Candidate Avetti (D) to deliver a believable story, nor
the millions from Soros, and the envelops passing hands to get the job done.
Kavanaugh. 52-48….and there will always be a cloud over Clerance Thomas. The way Dems violated Dr. Ford is despicable. Lied to her, set her up, and now she can go back to her normal life. I feel sorry for the Doc. Just having the polygraph guy stand behind her she found traumatic. But, they had to put her in front of the cameras. Then whisk her out.
Ironically, both were telling the truth. Kavanaugh the choirboy is innocent and something horrific happened to Dr. Ford sometime in her life.

“At this time, the Montgomery County Police Department has not received a request by any alleged victim nor a victim’s attorney to initiate a police report or a criminal investigation regarding Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. The department recognizes that victims of sexual assault may not want to involve law enforcement and/or initiate a criminal investigation, and we respect that position. The department, however, stands prepared to assist anyone who reports being the victim of a sexual assault.”
Maryland Coalition Against Sexual Assault executive director Lisae C. Jordan pointed out that an investigation into Blasey Ford’s claims would be legally tricky because attempted rape was not a felony without a statute of limitations in Maryland when she claimed the assault happened, according to the WaPo.
Attempted rape was classified as a misdemeanor with a one-year statute of limitations in the state before 1996,
