My thoughts on Kavanaugh hearings—-guest blogger Nancy
Kavanaugh is one of the most qualified judges to ever be appointed to the Supreme Court. He has years of judicial experience in several courts. He clerked for a Supreme Court Justice. He had over 300 judicial decisions that were available for scrutiny. The ABA gave him their highest rating. I like what has been described as his judicial philosophy: Constitutionalist, original intent - NOT “living” and relying on other countries’ documents and popular culture. *The anger*. He showed no anger until yesterday’s hearing. I would be angry, too, at this point. I cannot imagine what he... more »

[image: kavanaugh-passes-but-siding-with-dems-flake-demands-probe] The Senate Judiciary Committee voted to recommend U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court, but Flake might still sink the nominee.

"It's All Written..."
"Its five in the morning, I can see the first rays of sun trying to penetrate through this grey sky, trying to change its color to dark blue, and declare the dawn, but it's strange, dawn and dusk both have the same color, both have that same murky feel about them, but how different is their nature. One exemplifies the end, while the other symbolizes a new beginning, but is that end the end of hopes or end of sorrows, or is that beginning the beginning of a new life or new difficulties which lie ahead? We can't ever figure it out. It's all written and that's what destiny is. Every be... more »

JEFF FLAKE JUST BECAME THE FRONTRUNNER IN THE 2020 MAINSTREAM MEDIA PRIMARY
Jeff Flake has developed a conscience, apparently, or the right-centrist version of one -- The Senate Judiciary Committee voted along party lines Friday to advance the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh after securing a key vote from Sen. Jeff Flake, who asked for a delay of up to a week before the full Senate votes. Flake (R-Ariz.) said the delay would allow a limited FBI investigation of allegations of sexual assault while Kavanaugh was a teenager. This happened after Flake had a televised confrontation with two sexual assault survivors. Before we learned of Fl... more »

This Father of Three Reversed Over a Dozen Chronic Diseases— And Now Counsels Others to Do the Same (Interview with Derek Henry, Founder of HealingtheBody.Ca)
If you’ve learned anything about natural health or the healthcare system in general over the past few years, you’ve probably heard of the sobering statistics by now: chronic diseases are running rampant in the United States, so much so that nearly half (45%) of all Americans currently have one. We spend more on healthcare than any other nation, and yet the results we are getting are below average at best, horrifying at worst. Meanwhile, the pharmceutical industry is getting rich, and billions of dollars are being flushed down the drain in the name of a medical system that only see... more »

Another Lesser-Of-Two-Evils Race: Janz vs Nunes
*Goodball by Chip Proser* Devin Nunes is certainly one of the worst of TrumpWorld's arch-villains. He's up for reelection in 2 months in California. But not in coastal California. He has a pretty safe Republican seat in the Central Valley. Obama lost the district both times he ran, with around 42% of the vote. Hillary lost to Trump two years ago with around 42% of the vote. The PVI is R+8... not impossible in a wave year, but a *very* steep climb. The district stretches from the mostly white part of Fresno and it's northern and eastern suburbs down through Dinuba, Visalia and Tulare... more »

U Got This
“U Got This,” is beginning today at Ohio State University. “ To advance a culture of respect and care for others, the university is launching mandatory online sexual misconduct prevention education for all faculty, staff and students.” Am I the only one who finds “culture of respect” and “mandatory education” for adults in the same sentence sort of off putting? Plus, if the unit or department already has something in place, like diversity training or toxic masculinity workshops, that doesn’t get the student out of the pan-university requirement. If the student is also a univers... more »

Kavanaugh Gets Out of Committee
So, less than a half hour ago, this happened: Every piece of shit Republican just voted to get Kavanaugh out of committee, the split, as usual, along party lines, 11-10. The eclair-spined Jeff Flake, after being waylaid this morning by angry women after issuing a statement he was going to vote for Kavanaugh, weakly suggested delaying the vote for a week so the FBI could do a limited investigation pertaining only to Dr. Blasey Ford's claims. Then he voted for Kavanaugh, anyway, to protect that cushy lobbying gig he has waiting for him when he leaves office this January. To ... more »

I will part from the opinion of many of you who read this blog and will support organized labor of the 1930's through the 1980's. No, I don't defend the current teacher's unions, etc. However, organized labor, despite the mafia's greasy claws in the pension funds, did help to give the working men and women... more »
