The Left, when talking about Kavanaugh, keeps using the term “Reproductive Rights” when they mean “Abortion”.

Why can’t they say the word? Are they afraid of it? Afraid of turning women off by using a word that mean “Killing Babies”?

Look: I think that Roe V Wade was bad law.

No, I don’t think abortions should be illegal. Not at all, although I don’t like them….I do believe in a woman’s right to choose. The right to choose whether to be a mother or not and care for a child for 18+ years.  (Now lets make things equal, and let MEN decide whether they want to be a father and support a kid for 18 years as well…..But that is another argument for another time….)

But it was bad law, because the Supreme Court should have sent the decision back to the States (that whole 10th amendment thing, you know….).
But it is law, and I really doubt that the Supremes will do anything to change it.

I really believe that the Left is afraid of Kavanaugh for other reasons.  The abortion fearmongering is just a tool to influence women’s emotions against him.

And they will do nearly anything to keep him off the court, as we have seen.

I think it is just the beginning

I dunno.

Sex with a minor? Bad. If true.

And, oddly, this seems to happen to people who get crossed up with the Feds.

Just like if the local police can’t find anything to hang you on, but they are sure you are guilty, they “find Kiddie porn on the hard drive on his computer” after executing a search warrant…..(odd how that is always easy to find and un-encrypted, isn’t it?)

Sadly, after all the other things our Federal Law Enforcement have done lately, I don’t trust them anymore when they say a high profile person is guilty of anything. 

Every survivor of an attempted rape can tell you the exact date, time, persons present, etc., when the rape or attempted rape happened. They can tell you the color of the carpet, the drapes, the walls….

Yet Ford can’t remember….. Anything. Odd.

That so many women are willing to rally behind a person with a claim of a crime 30 years ago, simply because she, like them, is a woman.

While I don’t know what happened 35 (ish) years ago (I say (ish) because we don’t have an exact date because the  accuser is (so far) hazy on the date of the alleged incident), and neither do you. I find it interesting that they are all so quick to pre-judge the people involved…. simply because one is a woman.

I don’t know either of the persons involved….I can’t make a judgement. I can say that this appears to be agenda driven, and very similar to other somewhat dubious and shady claims put forth previously against other judges that the Democrats have opposed….a person comes out of nowhere at the last minute making an accusation that cannot be proved (and therefore, since it is hard to disprove a negative, is difficult to disprove).

Is Kavanaugh guilty of that which is is accused? I dunno? Is Ms Ford lying? Again, I don’t know.

Her timing and 30+ years of silence seem…..suspicious. That does not, however, make her a liar.
Having said that, Kavanaugh has 65 women willing to testify as to his exemplary behavior…..and, as we have been told over and over, that many women don’t lie about such things….

I do know that the double standard of the folks on the Left is a glaring issue.

Even women (and even LIBERAL WOMEN, at that) don’t find Ms Ford credible.

Even the Huffington Post’s OWN POLL finds this lack of credibility (Page 9).

I mean, if the Dems can’t carry the Huffpo crowd…..

She claims she has received them.

Maybe she has.

How? Telephone? Emails?

Carrier pigeon?

If the first two, then there is a record and those folks can be traced.

Is the investigation happening? Are the local Police checking her story? Are the checking the phone and/or internet records and traffic? Can anyone verify her story?

‘Cause it seems like every time someone claims that they are getting “Death Threats” that no one ever follows up.

Odd, innit? 

You can “Bork” the candidate.

And, if that doesn’t work, You can, you know, use the “Thomas” gambit.

I think Peter has the right of it though……Where has this woman been for the past 30+ years? Why did they not come forward when Judge Kavanaugh was nominated for previous judgeships in lesser courts?

This is politics at the dirtiest level. 

Back from my trip. ‘Twas an enlightening and educational trip, if not terribly productive…
But, I drove a thousand miles in a Nissan Versa.
Jesus, how can a car company make such a pile of Suck and Fail fit into a compact car?

I mean, I knew I was renting a small car….and I expected it to be somewhat underpowered.

And I got what I paid for in that regard.

The nice parts that I can say about the car is that the doors did open and close and the engine did start every time I turned the key…It did come with 4 tires that rolled.

The locks, however, seemed to choose to lock the doors at random times and under random conditions. We never left the car without having the keys in hand or at least one person staying in the car to make sure we were not locked out.

The seat? There was no place in the adjustment envelope where I could find any comfortable position. I mean, seriously, the ergonomics of the entire car were terrible. I seriously doubt that they could have made it worse if they had tried. My riding mower has better ergonomics, both in the seat and in the controls. Even the front passenger seat was torture after a half hour of sitting.

The acceleration, when the transmission computer chose to shift the gears in a sequential manner  was…adequate. Notice I said “shift in a sequential manner”….this did not appear to happen most of the time…

The suspension and steering seemed to have been designed to allow both understeer at high speeds and oversteer at low speeds….My Kubota tractor handles curves better.

One wonders how they can sell these cars if they allow the buyers to test drive before purchase. 

Notice her tiny voice when she is informed of her issue.  I’d probably have been even less calm at that point in my training…..

She was scared but handled it pretty well.

I’d probably have pissed my pants. I give the young lady pilot credit for her composure. Once the initial shock wore off, she was pretty calm.

And whoever owns and maintains that aircraft,,,,be glad it was a 17 year old girl. I’d have beaten ’em for renting me an aircraft where the MAIN GEAR was in that bad of shape….Beaten them badly.

If you have a Menards in your area, and shop there because of their 11% rebate, but prefer to buy from Home Depot, or if Menards does not have what you are looking for..

Anytime that Menards (or, I am led to understand, any competitor) offers a rebate, Home Depot will give you a gift card for that same 11% if you make that purchase at a Home Depot in the same area as the competitor.

I often buy lumber from the Home Depot instead of Menards because the quality is (generally) better…..And since HD will match the rebates…..

Just though some of y’all might find this info useful.
