There is no Presumption of Innocence for Kavanaugh

{ freebeacon.com } ~ Senate Minority Leader Chuck scumbag/clown-Schumer (D., N.Y.) said on Tuesday there is "no presumption of innocence" for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh... when it comes to sexual misconduct allegations because "this is not a criminal trial." "There is no presumption of innocence or guilt when you have a nominee before you," scumbag/clown-Schumer told reporters during a press conference on Capitol Hill. His remarks contrast those from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.), who said on Tuesday that Kavanaugh deserved the presumption of innocence. "I think everybody in America understands there's a presumption of innocence. That standard of fairness is applied to every American citizen in almost every situation. I think we ought to go into these hearings with a presumption of innocence, but hear the argument on the other side, the testimony on the other side so the members of the Senate can make a decision here on a very, very significant matter," McConnell said...  scumbag/clown-Schumer is no leader and be replaced.

Senator Hirono Has It Backwards

{ americanthinker.com } ~ dummycrats-Democratic senator Mazie Hirono has it totally wrong when she says we should consider the assault charges against Brett Kavanaugh credible because he doesn't support abortion... After all, who has a greater need for abortion to remain  legal: a faithful family man like Kavanaugh or a sexual predator like liar-Bill Clinton? The reality is that men who assault, exploit, or use women, as opposed to truly loving them, need abortion in order to avoid leaving clear proof that they had sex with a woman, in the form of a baby, and a huge financial responsibility. The left in America today is totally comfortable with the idea that if a woman gets pregnant, a man can just hand her some cash and tell her to "fix it." But people like Kavanaugh say it's not right to kill an unborn daughter just to cover up a sexual relationship or to enable men to use women with no consequences. Hence, the fact that Kavanaugh opposes abortion is evidence that he's unlikely to be a sexual predator like scumbag-Al Franken...   https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2018/09/senator_hirono_has_it_backwards.html

{ washingtonexaminer.com } ~ Federal Reserve officials raised their target interest rate for the third time this year on Wednesday... a move undertaken in the hopes of keeping inflation, a common fear in economies with low unemployment, under control. The Fed also revised economic growth projections for the year upwards, to 3.1 percent from 2.8 percent, above the goal set by the Trump administration. The central bank raised the target short-term interest rates by a quarter percentage point, bring it to as high as 2.25 percent, a level not seen since before the worst of the financial crisis in early 2008. The decision was widely expected, as Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and other top officials have signaled for weeks that they planned to raise rates. Barring a crisis, the central bank is expect to carry out more increases in short-term interest rates before the end of this year and into next. President Trump vocally criticized the Fed for raising rates earlier this year, setting the stage for a potential conflict between the president and the independent economic institution...  https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/economy/fed-raises-rates-as-it-seeks-soft-landing?utm_source=WEX_Breaking%20News%20Alert_09/26/2018&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=WEX_Breaking%20News

Did Australian Diplomat – and Possibly
Other Foreign Allies – Share Intel on Trump?

{ saraacarter.com } ~ Former Australian Ambassador Alexander Downer evaded questions during a recent BBC interview regarding suggestions made by George Papadopoulos... that Downer may have been recording his conversations in an effort to spy on the then-Trump campaign volunteer. The answers to those questions would be significant because they would reveal the extent of other nation’s efforts in cooperating with the FBI’s counterintelligence operation on President Donald Trump’s campaign, say U.S. officials that spoke to SaraACarter.com. The information–if it was used–would be part of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant’s package of evidence presented to the secret court, said one former and one current U.S. official. When interviewed by the BBC last week, Downer would not directly address questions regarding Papadopoulos’ claims that he may have been spying on him or possibly recording the meeting that took place in London in May 2016. Downer said, “the reason I don’t say anything about it…is I don’t want this whole issue of Donald Trump and his team and the Russians and so on to interfere in Australia’s relationship with the United States.” He told the BBC that the issue was “toxic,” and despite being pressed multiple times, still did not answer the question, saying, “in terms of public commentary, I just keep right away from it…Well, you know, it’s the same answer, really, people who know me know very well the truth of what sort of person I am…I’ve worked very passionately for Australia over many years, let’s leave it at that.” The host then again asked, “Can we put to rest the fact that he said you were a spy?” “I was the Australian high commissioner,” Downer said. “The thing is, I’m just not going to get into these sort of allegations he’s made. I mean, people who have worked with me, and people in Australia who know me, know absolutely my record.”...

{ gatestoneinstitute.org } ~ What does Hamas, the Palestinian terror group that rules the Gaza Strip, mean when it says... that it "won't pay any political price" in return for a truce agreement with Israel? Answer: No to recognizing Israel, no to abandoning the dream of eliminating Israel, and no to disarming. In recent weeks, several Hamas leaders and spokesmen have repeatedly been quoted as saying that their group will not make any political concessions as part of a truce deal with Israel. The statements came as Egypt and the United Nations continue their effort to reach a truce that would end the ongoing violence along the border between the Gaza Strip and Israel. "We want a decision to end the blockade on the Gaza Strip," Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh said in a recent speech marking the 30th anniversary of the establishment of his group. "Any understandings that are reached to end the blockade will not be in return for a political price." Haniyeh's remarks were echoed by several Hamas leaders and officials belonging to Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ,) the second largest terrorist group in the Gaza Strip...  https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/13029/hamas-rejection

Israel and U.S. Will Face Crushing and Devastating
Response Iranian Military Leader Warns.
by JASON LEMON

{ newsweek.com } ~ Iranian leaders have vowed to take revenge after at least 25 people were killed in an attack on a military parade in the Islamic republic’s... southwestern city of Ahvaz on Saturday. Speaking at a public memorial for the victims attended by thousands on Monday, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps deputy head Hossein Salami pointed fingers at Israel and the U.S., blaming them for the attack and promising a "crushing and devastating" response, Radio Free Europe reported. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei also accused the U.S. of involvement. “Based on reports, this cowardly act was done by people who the Americans come to help when they are trapped in Syria and Iraq, and are paid by Saudi Arabia and the UAE [United Arab Emirates]," Khamenei said at the ceremony. He also vowed that Iran would "severely punish" those responsible...That could be a big mistake blaming us and Israel.

Why Keeping the Senate Matters 

tI8uS4O1jrhi4aCwOLeLMYlhev9dmMagJ9PGJNH6byXfe5SRymrfgnoRcVq_azfdV-B7kjRXVD8uVVt6DeaDbq8pfTF1aQkhk75cSCe3vvkGCx2mteZHAgj605pQSimUFqZlzm41A8tFdUCQQPO-Nz3yjdyIC4bNE5EwdfbcQk8=s0-d-e1-ft#%3Ca%20rel%3Dnofollow%20href=?width=450
by Robin Smith:  Republicans are clinging to a slim 51-49 majority in the U.S. Senate, which has proven to be a challenge throughout the first two years of the presidency of Donald Trump. The upcoming midterm elections are particularly crucial to the implementation and protection of policies that are pro-America and, candidly, depend on the voters who hoisted Donald Trump into the White House to turn out with the same energy and determination in November.

             Remember, Trump’s victory was not based on his polished résumé or rhetoric. Instead, he had the audacity to run on issues that Americans care about: the value of citizenship threatened by an open border, an apologetic approach to leading the world (from behind), repealing scumbag/liar-nObamaCare, cutting taxes and regulation, and restoring the authentic definition of free and fair trade to honor the American worker. The cherry on top — but also the reason for many conservative votes — was the promise of constructionist judicial appointments. And we see the Left’s resistance to that aspect through stunts like Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation process.
               With such a narrow majority, the “Trump” agenda — which by the way sounds an awful lot like what Ronald Reagan ran on, as has every national Republican candidate since the 1980s — has been difficult to entirely fulfill in the face of dummycrats-Democrat obstruction in the Senate. Furthermore, the upper chamber has been home to some of Trump’s most vocal Republican opponents — rino-John McCain, rino-Bob Corker, and rino-Jeff Flake, the latter two of whom are departing — in addition to the parade of charlatans who are running for president on thedummycrats-Democratic Socialist ticket in 2020: Elizabeth dinky-Warren, lowlife-Kamila Harris, scumbag-Cory Booker, Kirsten Gillibrand, and commie-Bernie Sanders.
               America is witnessing the politics of our nation held hostage to an unhinged group completely devoted to delegitimizing the value and integrity of America’s elections. Beyond Kavanaugh and the “Trump/Russia collusion” investigation, there’s the weaponization of aspects of government like the Department of Justice and the FBI as tools to negate the majority party’s agenda because, clearly, to the dummycrats-Democratic Socialists, the most dangerous enemy in their eyes is an elected Republican committed to the Founding principles of a limited, transparent, and accountable government.
               In Texas, a GOP stalwart who finished second behind Trump in the 2016 presidential primary is in danger. In Missouri, a dummycrats-Democrat incumbent is fighting for her seat in a right-leaning state. And in the deep-red state of Tennessee an open Senate seat is a battleground between two well-known candidates. Let’s take a quick peek at those three races that deserve review, with special attention paid to how “unDemocratic” the dummycrats-Democrats sound in their rhetoric and campaign promises.
               In the Lone Star State, a hard-left Progressive, Beto O'Rourke, is giving Ted Cruz a true run, with the Cook Political Report moving the election from “leans Republican” to “toss-up” status. So why is a red state with a Republican governor giving its incumbent such a slim lead?
               It seems Beto, the 45-year-old two-term U.S. House incumbent, has learned that to win, you must abandon leftist ways on the campaign trail. His website uses rhetoric that’s just not reflected by members of his own party — for example, he demands that “we are all treated with dignity and respect, meeting the small, petty and divisive politics of this age with a confidence, courage and strength that could only come from Texas.” We suppose his friend Wendy Davis, the former state senator and losing gubernatorial candidate who filibustered to have more relaxed abortion laws, taught him a lesson to avoid too much extremism down in the heart of Texas. His campaign platform states the obvious for educated kids, access to health care, and good jobs, yet he sounds nothing like his colleagues who promise to reverse the Trump tax cuts and move to impeach the president.
               Head north to the Show-Me State anddummycrats- Democrat Claire McCaskill touts her record to be “a fighter Missourians can count on.” That may be true … if you want your senator to fight the president you voted into office by an 18.5-point margin. McCaskill voted against the confirmation of Neil Gorsuch for the Supreme Court, and she opposes Kavanaugh. She voted against the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that reversed the economic quagmire of the scumbag/liar-nObama economy. On the other side, GOP nominee and state Attorney General Josh Hawley is getting the Trump-treatment, complete with an endorsement and rally in the state.
               Polling shows this race is a dead-heat. Looking at the two-term Senate incumbent’s website, the inquiring reader would never know of her intent to stand with Chuck scumbag/clown-Schumer in keeping the southern border porous and spending even more on entitlements. No, a glance at that website reveals praise for national security, seniors, and veterans, while failing to note her work directly against Trump’s agenda on those same issues.
               Finally, the Volunteer State’s open seat resulting from Bob Corker’s fall from potential VP candidate to cable news’s favorite GOP Trump critic is a similar slugfest. On the Left, we have former Democrat Gov. Phil Bredesen, whose claim to fame was to kick 300,000 Tennesseans off the state’s Medicaid program during his two-term tenure but who now joins the chorus to expand Medicaid while having the nerve to call for a freeze in federal spending. On the Right, we have the consistent conservative Republican Rep. Marsha Blackburn. To illustrate the contentious race, the dummycrats-Democrat has been busy camouflaging his leftist partisanship so much that the NRA had to recently demand he stop using an outdated “A” rating in campaign ads. That grade no longer applies for a man who now supports the liar-Clinton/scumbag/clown-Schumer/Bloomberg gun-control agenda, earning him a current “D” rating.
               The Real Clear Politics average has Tennessee’s matchup as a tie.
               So what does this mean? It means voters need to wake up and look to the obstruction in Washington that has jeopardized the funding to end the open border, dragged out the entire process of confirmations for a host of presidential nominees, and threatens to end tax cuts that have helped boost the economy. That’s just a small sampling of the agenda that awaits if Republicans lose this slim lead in the Senate.
                dummycrats-Democrats have long run as Republicans but governed as Socialists, though that disparity is growing now at an accelerated rate. Republicans need to find their spine and articulate the best days ahead for Americans if their numbers are to increase. Americans can multiply the great days ahead by adding more Republicans to the Senate but will understand more division and the subtraction of their earnings through taxation if Democrats prevail. Do the math.
