As the Supreme Court confirmation hearing resumes this week for Judge Brett Kavanaugh, it’s clear that the Republicans are simply too white to get the job done. I suggest the Republicans sign up some outside help, the way baseball teams make late-season acquisitions of pitchers and designated hitters for the playoffs.

Gun control advocates often use some version of the phrase “if it saves one life” in order to justify their ineffective proposals. This week, the anti-gun editorial page of the Chicago Sun-Times offered a different take. Fearful that the Right-to-Carry was getting too much good publicity in the wake of an Illinois concealed carry permit holder’s heroic actions, the Sun-Times editorial board felt it necessary to lecture its readers, “One brave rescue of a Cicero cop doesn’t justify concealed guns.”
I am not making this up. I wish I were.

Be the first on your block….
This is actually an online form that you can fill out. The first question is, “Did you ever, as a teenager or younger man, behave toward women in ways you may now regret? If so, how? And how has that experience stayed with you over the years?” You get 175 words to answer that one.
I wonder: what is the chance the Times will survey women on whether they have ever behaved toward men in ways they now regret? Are we supposed to assume that can’t happen?
Get in tune with the zeitgeist! Men Bad, Women Good!
This is a good example of how Narratives get advanced. Christine Ford’s allegation is almost certainly false, but who cares? The Narrative marches on, regardless.

Whenever you hear a Third World bureaucrat complain about how his country is going to be drowned and disappear forever because of First World climate change, it’s code for ‘give us money and we’ll shut up about it’.

Women are running away from their support of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh in droves — at least, that’s what a few misleading tweets that circulated on Monday would have you believe. But in reality, of the 65 women who signed a letter supporting his nomination, none have publicly withdrawn their support. Several, in contrast, have reaffirmed it.
Politico writer Daniel Lippman raised questions when he tweeted that of the 65 women who initially signed a letter in support of Kavanaugh, “only TWO said they still stood by him.” (That number was later updated to five.)
According to his article, however, that number only actually reflected the women who had responded positively to requests for comment.

Actually, it was the increasing radicalism and irresponsibility of Democrats that led to Trump. Hillary spends too much time breathing her own exhaust.
More astonishing than the fact that Hillary keeps writing books is that publishers keep buying them. Well, that’s socialism for you — ideology trumps (no pun intended) profit every time.

Of course, it might make sense that governors, mayors and other elected officials might use fossil-fueled transport to get themselves and their security detail to the three-day summit, which kicked off Wednesday.
However, most people attending the conference don’t need bodyguards or a big entourage. They choose to have them, and with that, fly private jets and ride in SUVs.
Indeed, San Francisco International Airport spokesman Doug Yakel told the San Francisco Chronicle that “corporate jet traffic was up 30 percent over normal” during the time of the summit.

“How hard can that be? Saying that Nazis are bad,” former President Barack Obama asked a crowd in Illinois last week.
Well, probably no harder than saying the words “radical Islam,” I imagine. Or maybe it’s slightly less difficult than not sending billions of dollars to Holocaust-denying terror regimes that have both the means and intent to murder Jews—in 2018, not 1942. And it’s definitely a lot easier than not meeting, posing, and then smiling for a picture with Louis Farrakhan. But thanks for the lecture.
