Keep their feet to the fire Chuck –
Chuck Grassley, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, wants the upper house to stay in session until all of the 49 currently pending judicial appointments are confirmed.
A tweet from Grassley, R- Iowa, on Thursday came just hours after the committee cleared eight more judicial nominees to the full Senate ,and puts Democrats in a bind over whether to stay in Washington to fight the confirmations or head out on the campaign trail to defend vulnerable seats ahead of the midterms.
“Lots of work to do,” Grassley tweeted. “Senate [should] stay in session til all 49 judges are CONFIRMED/ work comes [before] campaigning.”

Just got an email from our designated reader who sent me a gleeful observation by the FUE on the recent stock market pull-back. It continues to amaze me why these naive neo-socialists even bother to comment about something that is totally foreign to them, and a mystery to boot – I’m talking about economics. He is convinced that all RR readers are now quaking in their boots because their IRA’s have taken a bath. The hubristic naif, in his own inimitable way, is predicting the beginning of a long term recession, something that no one in the financial sector is even contemplating.
But that again gives us an idea why leftwing countries (and cities) are continually on their ass as their planners and controllers continue applying long-dead economic principles to modern dynamic markets. These local leftwingers understand even less as they seek to ape what they hear from their pundits on Huffpost, CNN, MSNBC,… and other similarly astute outlets.
Has anyone considered that the markets may hedging a Democrat victory in November when the tax, spend, and regulate folks may gain control of Congress?

Paglia says Bruni’s newspaper and the Democratic Party still have “soul searching” left to do about why they called 2016 wrong. “It is incumbent upon the defeated party to pull itself together, or else we’re going to get the reelection of the present administration,” she said.
“I didn’t take him seriously at all,” she said about the early days of the Trump campaign. “And then, shortly after the very first Republican debate, I saw Diamond & Silk, the African-American sisters doing a pro-Trump attack on Megyn Kelly on their podcast, and… I suddenly saw the populism, and from that moment forward, I could feel the momentum of it.”
“The New York media was in an absolute bubble about this,” she added.
Andy Cohen said he had similar thoughts: “Just today I was walking by a monitor, I don’t know what channel was on, but there was — he has some slogan about jobs for America or some new plan. And I saw that chyron: ‘Jobs For America Plan,’ and I thought to myself… it doesn’t even matter if this works or not, he could get reelected just because he has a ‘Jobs For America’ plan.”

80% of Americans think Political Correctness is a National Problem
Opposition to political correctness was higher among Asians (82 percent), Hispanics (87 percent), and American Indians (88 percent) than among white Americans (79 percent). In fact, just about every single demographic studied showed overwhelming objection to political correctness except the Americans the study reporting the poll results identified as “progressive activists.” Progressive activists, the study says, “have an outsized role in political discourse, even though they comprise a small portion of the total population (about 1 in 12 Americans).”
About the 8 Percent of People Who Love PC
“Progressive activists are the only group that strongly backs political correctness: Only 30 percent see it as a problem,” wrote Harvard University lecturer Yascha Mounk in an overview of the poll results at The Atlantic.

Yup, LIBS got out played by Trump again. More insight to the judge appointments.
https://dailycaller.com/2018/10/11/mitch-mcconnell-judges-midterms/
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell seized on the opportunity and made Democrats an offer: let the Senate adjourn until after the election, provided Democrats don’t force the full 30 hours of debate allowed for each nominee.
Democratic leaders were left at an impasse: They could keep their caucus in the Capitol to oppose the nominees — effectively ceding the campaign trail to Republican challengers — or confirm Trump’s judges briskly and risk alienating their supporters.
And they still bitch
““This deal was totally unnecessary and it is a bitter pill to swallow so soon after the Kavanaugh fight that so many progressive activists poured their hearts and souls into,” said Chris Kang, chief counsel of Demand Justice, a liberal advocacy group. “This period will be long remembered not just for the historic number of judges Trump has been able to confirm, but also because of how passive Democrats were in response.” “

First they blamed the Russians. Then they blamed Righty White People. Next they blamed the electoral college. Now they blame the Senate:
Liberals Blaming The Senate For Their Loss Of Political Power Have Lost Touch With Reality. Democrats’ loss of political power is not the result of a structural defect; it’s the result of flaws in the quality of their Senate candidates.
The main complaint Democrats have about the Senate is that because small states have equal representation to big states, and Republicans dominate the small states, Democrats face a permanent minority status in one half of Congress. This follows a familiar pattern. In the House, they say, they are a permanent minority because of gerrymandering; in the presidency, because of the Electoral College; in the courts, because of their problems with the other two branches. Like a game between children, instead of “win” and “lose,” their two sides are always “win” and “they cheated.”
“If you weren’t born yesterday, you might recall that as recently as 2011, the Democrats controlled the White House, 59 percent of the House, and a filibuster-proof 60 percent of the Senate. Under the same laws, the same Constitution, and with an almost identical electorate, the Democrats controlled the political branches of government with huge majorities. How did they lose it all? Because the people did not like what they did with that power once they had it. That’s not a broken system, it’s a democratic republic working as designed.”
Moreover, the focus on small states as Republican strongholds does not survive even the gentlest scrutiny. The senators from the ten smallest states are nine Democrats, nine Republicans, and two independents who caucus with the Democrats. That’s an 11-9 split in Democrats’ favor.

The biggest fakenews gay and lesbian hate crime hoax in my lifetime is back in the news. Good.
This morning I heard that Mattrew Shephard’s body “Remains To Be Interred At National Cathedral.” (NPR). What a joke. I read the trial testimony years ago. The “hate crime” that shook the nation in the October, 1998 was a crime, but not a hate crime. Not a gay bashing crime either. But laws were passed to protect gay and lesbos. The lie lives on to this very hour.
It’s almost impossible to read the trial transcripts (and reports) I read back then nowadays, fueling the hoax to live on. My original research cannot be found on the internet. Gone. The media lying is nothing new, if it fits their narrative. Lying sacks of shit they be.
Matthew Shepard (the murder victim) was often pimped out by his gay lover (the murderer) and was killed over a meth deal gone bad. Both were gay, both into drugs and prostitution, both hung out on the seedy side of town. The media made it out to be the equilivent of beer chugging rednecks in Texas dragging black folks down the road behind the pickup truck with gun racks on a tow rope. Hogwash.

If candidates answer “yes” to a question—and wins their election—they are pledging to immediately co-sponsor reintroduced legislation in the 116th Congress on bills that include: Establishing an Oversight Commission on Presidential Capacity; an expanded and improved ‘Medicare for All’ Act; Department of Peacebuilding Act of 2017; Automatic Voter Registration Act; Raise the Wage Act; Jobs for All Act; and the Commission to Study Reparation Proposals for African Americans Act, among others.
Rouda answered “yes” to every question on the form, signaling that he supports the likes of Medicare for all, reparations for slavery, and the creation of a Department of Peacebuilding if elected. Rouda also previously said that he backs expanding Medicaid to illegal immigrants at a liberal forum during the Democratic primaries but recently claimed that he never made that statement despite it being captured on video.
Rep. Rohrabacher’s campaign on Wednesday sent an email drawing attention to Rouda’s questionnaire that was posted on the group’s website next to his name. Hours later, the link to Rouda’s document was removed.
