It does reinforce the notion that all you need for a Big Payday is to make an unsupported accusation against somebody prominent who is to the right of Bernie Sanders. This will not end well.

As I’ve been noting since 2005, the three hard science Nobel Prizes have long been resistant to the Demand for Diversity because, well, they are the immensely prestigious Nobel Prizes and so they don’t have to play that way. But all good things must come to an end.

Steve Sailer takes a peek at ‘Doctor” Ford’s background.
No standardized tests are required and no average test scores are published. It has two campuses, plus arrangements with various Silicon Valley community colleges to use their facilities, plus an online presence. Tuition was $21k in 2015, about half of a typical 4-year private college. Main majors are Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Social Action and Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Psychology, depending on whether you want to work for a government or NGO agency or a corporation.
Finishing school for would-be Crustian drones is my guess.

People have a massive incentive to make explosive, unfounded allegations against conservative judges nominated to the Supreme Court. Doing so can get them millions of dollars in book and movie deals from Hollywood or the publishing industry, both of which lean far to the left. Over a million dollars has already been raised for Brett Kavanaugh’s accuser, Christine Blasey Ford through GoFundMe accounts. Anita Hill, who accused Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas in 1991 of saying sexually offensive things to her, received a “million-dollar advance” from publishers as a result.
This fact is well-known to journalists, who draw readers and advertising revenue by publicizing scurrilous allegations. But some liberal or “Never Trump” columnists pretend otherwise, to mislead their readers. They peddle the false claim that accusers have nothing to gain and everything to lose, by making allegations against people like Kavanaugh.
Follow the money.

ZMan lays it out.
That’s the lesson and the reason for this letter. The civic nationalists need to look at that circus on their television and know that is their future. The people who are rejecting due process and the presumption of innocence don’t look like you. They don’t sound like you. They don’t believe what you believe. More important, they don’t love what you love or hate what you hate. What they are willing to live and die for does not include you, because you don’t look like them or sound like them. You can never be on their side and they know it.
When you appeal to their sense of civic virtue, all you are doing is encouraging them to punch you in the face again. That’s because their civic virtue is not your civic virtue. It can never be otherwise. After decades of work to train blacks, for example, to embrace civic nationalism, they still cling to their own ideas and their own hatreds. It turns out that those racists you guys were always trying to run off were right after all. Civil society is a white man’s thing. It is not an idea. It is the result of white people living in their own lands.

I think that Judge Kavanaugh’s pristine reputation is one reason why the Democrats have unleashed against him a smear campaign unparalleled in American history. This is the message they are trying to send: If we can do this to the Boy Scout Brett Kavanaugh, we can do it to anyone. Are you thinking of serving in a Republican administration? Or accepting an appointment to the federal judiciary from a Republican president? Think twice, and then think again.
Because our smear machine will reach back to middle school if necessary. If we can’t find any dirt on you, we will manufacture some. There is no depth to which we will not stoop, and your honesty, integrity and spotless reputation are no match for our control over the media and our determination to dredge up ridiculous allegations against anyone who stands in our way.

Nothing matters to these people but power: not our institutions, not our laws and customs, not out history, not our Constitution, not truth or falsehood, not science or reason, not decency or respect, only Lenin’s who-whom—whose boot is stomping on whose face? They are determined that it shall be their boot, our face; and in their view, every means is legitimate to bring that about.
The U.S. Senate was a last bastion of constitutional collegiality, even into the Trump era. In April last year three Democratic Senators voted to confirm Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court. I wouldn’t bet on that happening this time around. We are now firmly in an era of smash-mouth politics, of Leninist who-whom.

Joy Behar On Kavanaugh Hearing: Republicans ‘Worried That All White People Are Going To Lose All Their Power’ I find it difficult to believe that Joy Behar knows anything about what ‘white people’ think.
Protesters Fight Against Kavanaugh’s Confirmation Process With … Sandwiches? You have to wonder what these people think they’re accomplishing. I suspect that they know they’re not accomplishing anything but just want to do something for the sake of doing something so that they can feel good about themselves for doing something even if it’s pointless.

The incident occurred in a mostly Somali neighborhood known as “Little Mogadishu”, which is centered around Cedar Avenue near the University of Minnesota Law School. Early that morning a massive explosion blew out the windows on the second floor at 514 S. Cedar Avenue, above the Otanga Grocery. An intense fire that followed the explosion eventually consumed the interior of the three-story structure.
The building had been inhabited by Somali Muslims, the businesses there had been patronized by Somali Muslims, and it was next door to a mosque. After having seen photos and videos of numerous gas explosions, it was obvious to me that this was no gas explosion. For the first 24 hours the Minneapolis fire chief said the cause of the explosion was unknown. However, the next morning, as soon as the FBI arrived at the scene, the story changed: the explosion was caused by a natural gas leak. Despite the fact that there had been no investigation of the site, despite the insistence by the gas company that there had been no leaks whatsoever in the area, a “gas leak” was the fire chief’s story, and he stuck to it doggedly. And as soon as the fire was fully extinguished and the last body had been removed from the scene, the city ordered the remains of the building to be demolished, before any forensic investigation of the site could be undertaken.
The whole thing smelled fishy back then, and it still smells fishy. We still don’t have any official report on what really happened. However, thanks to the patient efforts of Judicial Watch, we know a lot more than we did in January 2014.

The sanctity of the complimentary breakfast buffet, a privilege only afforded to hotel guests, is being threatened by a thief on the loose in Dalton, Georgia. The so-called “breakfast bandit” has been spotted helping himself to the spreads at multiple local hotels, Thrillist reports—and police fear he’s still hungry.
I’m surprised that this isn’t more widespread.
On the other hand, my memories of hotel breakfast buffets are not the sort that would justify a stop. But that’s me.

These days, nobody is anybody unless she was assaulted in high school.
And, of course, nobody will know you’re the victim (and get the appropriate Victim Pokemon Points) unless you ‘share your story’.
I have to confess that I was never sexually assaulted in high school, no doubt due to the fact that I didn’t got to parties full of drunks. Boy, if only I knew what an opportunity I was passing up….
(Oh, would somebody remind me who Sarah Hyland is?)

Understandable. There were no female Roman generals.
Gamers are boycotting a historical video game amid anger after it added more female characters to “please feminists”.
Total War: Rome 2, a strategy game based in 272 BC, recently introduced more female leaders from history including Egyptian pharaoh Cleopatra and Teuta, queen of the Ardiaei tribe in Illyria.
The update, which has seen as many as 15 percent of all military generals that appear in the game now female, with the exception of Rome, Carthage and Greek states, has caused uproar among customers who claim they are re-writing the history of ancient nations including Rome, Athens, Carthage, Pontus, the Britannic Icenii tribe, the Germanic Suebi tribe, the Seleucids.
One customer was banned from the game’s official forum by a Total War employee after he left a negative review describing the change as “plain silly”. Ella McConnell, who is paid by the game makers to moderate the forum sparked fury after issuing the ban and responding to the offending post: “Total War games are historically authentic, not historically accurate – if having female units upsets you that much you can either [modify] them out or just not play”.
SJWs ruin everything they touch.

Especially if you’re on Facebook.
We all want other people to “get us” and appreciate us for who we really are. In striving to achieve such relationships, we typically assume that there is a “real me”. But how do we actually know who we are? It may seem simple – we are a product of our life experiences, which we can be easily accessed through our memories of the past.
This is true only for people whose primary self-image is derived from how they are evaluated by other people. Tattoos and piercings and odd hair colors and strange clothing is the metastasized form of that.

Another woman accuses Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct. A third says she was at multiple parties in the Eighties where women, including herself, were drugged and gang raped by the Supreme Court nominee and his friends. But she kept going back. And never complained until two days before an important Senate vote. And, coincidentally, Christine Blasey Ford’s attorney was her attorney in a sexual harassment suit 10 years ago.
And we’re supposed to believe all this.

Bethany Mandel leaves the reservation.
In the wake of the Brett Kavanaugh allegations conservative women have heard a great deal of the following:
HOW CAN YOU… AS A WOMAN DARE QUESTION THE VERACITY OF THESE ALLEGATIONS?
Well, the simple, half-joking answer is: I’ve met a lot of women in my time. But here’s the real one: I’m a woman, but that doesn’t make me part of some feminist club, because the part of my value more than my womanhood is that I am the mother of sons and I am the wife of the greatest man I’ve ever known. If allegations of this nature were made against the men in my life, here is what I would expect and demand of the public: take into account their character prior to these accusations, and evaluate the credibility of the accusations and the accuser.

In the left’s view, it is racist to believe that (a) there are races, (b) they differ in their genetic inheritance (which is much the same thing), and (c) the distribution of intelligence (vis-a-vis other races) is a manifestation of genetic inheritance (and therefore of race) is a racist. Which leads me to ask this: If there is no such thing as race, how can there be racism and racists?
If you can pick out, from a crowd, who’s the victim of racism, then race exists. It’s just that simple.
