    Judge Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed as the 114th associate justice to the Supreme Court on Saturday, October 6. It almost didn't happen. And if everything went the way Democrats planned, it wouldn't have.

    According to Christine Blasey Ford ("Christina Ford"), thirty-six years ago, when she was only 15, she was assaulted by Brett Kavanaugh at a party. He was 17 at the time. She made a statement to the Senate Judiciary Committee explaining her account, but putting her theatrics aside, her naivete, her confusion and timidness and her frequent consults with her many attorneys, the truth is that she presented no evidence, no details, and no witnesses. She apparently only told one person - her husband, Russell Ford. She told him "He could become a justice of the Supreme Court someday." She said her husband remembered that she said her attacker was Brett Kavanaugh, but she herself doesn't remember telling him that. She never told her account to anyone else until May 2012, during a couples counseling session. Again, no details were given.

    Until July 2018, Ford had never named Brett Kavanaugh as her attacker outside of therapy. In early July 2018, she saw press reports stating that he was on the "short list" of potential Supreme Court nominees and decided to tell her story. She called her congresswoman, Anna Eshoo (D- Palo Alto) and left a message with her receptionist that someone on the president's short list of judicial nominees had attacked her. On July 9, after Kavanaugh had become the nominee, Ford received a call from the office of Rep. Eshoo and she proceeded to meet on two occasions with her staff (July 11 and July 13). She mentioned sending a letter to ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senator Dianne Feinstein. In fact, Rep. Eshoo's office delivered a copy of my letter to Sen. Feinstein's office on July 30, 2018. The letter included Ford's name, but she requested that the letter be kept confidential until she had a chance to speak with her in person. Apparently, Senator Feinstein sent a letter in response confirming that she would keep it temporarily in confidence. [I included a copy of that letter at the end of this article]

    The rest is history.

    Christine Blasey Ford thought not to contact any authorities about her allegations but rather, her first instinct was to get it to Democratic politicians so they could use it to disgrace President Trump's nomination to the Supreme Court, Judge Kavanaugh and to impugn his character. For thirty-six years, she essentially kept her accusations to herself until the 11th hour, when Kavanaugh made it through to be the president's choice for the high court. Feinstein sat on that letter and that information until after Kavanaugh did far better in his confirmation hearings than Democrats hoped - when it looked like he would indeed be confirmed.

    To be clear about the accusations made by Ford against Brett Kavanaugh: The one person Ford said was at the party in question not only denied that she was there, but went on to sign a sworn statement, under penalty of perjury, that she: (i) never once met Kavanaugh; (ii) was not at the party; and (iii) the party Ford addressed in her accusations never happened. In fact, she said, Ford's allegations came as a shock to her. On the other hand, Brett Kavanaugh brought to the Committee a journal that he meticulously kept to document his life (just as his father had done) which provided an air-tight alibi for his whereabouts on the possible evenings of the party.

    Ignoring the evidence, Democrats concluded that just because Ms. Ford made accusations of possible sexual misconduct, she must be believed and Kavanaugh must be the attacker. And then when he passionately and forcefully defended his whereabouts, his reputation, and his good name, Democrats went after him again claiming he is an angry man who doesn't possess the temperament necessary for an associate justice of the Supreme Court. The made a mockery and a circus out of the Confirmation Hearings.

    Let's face it, no one expected the Democrats to make it easy for Trump to have Kavanaugh confirmed. Senator Chuck Schumer even said as much in a tweet he made moments after Trump announced him as his pick to replace Justice Kennedy, on July 9. Schumer tweeted: "I will oppose Judge Kavanaugh's nomination with everything I have, and I hope a bipartisan majority will do the same." Schumer, who apparently was spearheading the resistance against Kavanaugh, also was the one who sent out emails to fellow Democrats the night before the confirmation hearings began and who orchestrated to have all those annoying screaming protesters show up to disrupt the proceedings.

    As bad as outright partisan delay and obstruction tactics are, which we have seen from the very first day Trump stepped into the White House, I and most Americans are far more concerned with something far more serious - which is the Democrats' policy of PERSONAL DESTRUCTION and CHARACTER ASSASSINATION when it comes to Republican candidates and judicial nominees. They spread lies and make up allegations of sexual harassment, without conscience and without impunity.... Why do they do it??? - Because it works. It almost worked to keep Judge Kavanaugh off the bench. It already worked to make sure law schools won't hire him. Harvard already announced that he is not welcome back. The politics of PERSONAL DESTRUCTION is something the Democrats have become good at. The politics of spreading lies and instilling fear (including a return to Jim Crow or a return to back alley abortions) is something Democrats are good at. Look what they did to Judge Roy Moore. (You don't hear anything any more about his accuser). Look what happened to Mitt Romney in 2012 when he ran for president. During that election, Senator Harry Reid accused Mitt Romney, FALSELY, of not paying his taxes in over 10 years. He knew it wasn't true. After the election, when confronted about his lie and whether he felt remorse for stooping so low, he said no. His response epitomized what the Democratic Party's politics of personal destruction would become: "It worked didn't it? He lost, didn't he?"

    The writer for the Stephen Colbert show, Ariel Dumas, tweeted during the Senate vote on Saturday: "Whatever happens, I'm just glad we ruined Brett Kavanaugh's life."

    The writer's name should forever be changed to Ariel Dumb-ass.

    MSNBC host Mika Brzezkinski mocked Kavanaugh, saying he "raged" and "cried like a baby" while defending himself. This jubilation and mocking of a good and decent man, blemished by unverified accusations, humiliated before all of the country and the world, and fighting to save a reputation he spent an entire life building, is similar to the jihadists celebrating the deaths of thousands of innocent Americans in the wake of 9/11. It says more about who THEY are - the Democrats, the main-stream media, the Hollywood and entertainment industry - than who Brett Kavanaugh is.

    These Democrats are not good people. They are not decent people. They are certainly not the kind of people that should be given any power over others. These are people co-opted by the devil; commissioned to do evil.

    Remember what Judge Kavanaugh said in his remarks addressing Ford's accusations? He said: "I'm never going to get my reputation back. My life is totally and permanently altered." Later, during that same hearing, an angry Sen. Lindsey Graham told his Democratic colleagues, "You don't want to find out the truth. What you want is to destroy this guy's life."

    The sad thing is that those Democratic Senators, the ones so willing to condemn Kavanaugh merely because Ford made an unverified accusation against him, took an OATH to the US Constitution, which guarantees to each US citizen the right to be presumed innocent, the right to confront his or her accuser, the right to a fair trial by members of his peers. They ignored their oaths and betrayed their allegiance to the Constitution in denying Kavanaugh his fundamental liberty rights. These Democratic Senators are political terrorists and are unfit to serve in government. Their choice of terror is character assassination.

    One of the tricks Democrats and other liberals love most is taking something that is as universally despised as possible, like rape, racism, or police shooting innocent people, and then declaring that they are against it while Republicans are indifferent to it.

        •  "You're against disrespecting the flag?" Then you must want black men to be shot by the police!

        •  "You're not in favor of tearing down historical statues because the owners had slaves?" Then you must hate black people! You must believe slavery was OK.

        •  "You don't believe EVERY rape accusation made against a man?" Then you must be pro-rape or think that women are to be sexualized.

    We have Congresswomen, like Mad Maxine Waters, who go around telling people to harass members of Trumps' team and Trump supporters. "Tell them they aren't welcome here." What an unconscionable message to send. What an unconscionable tactic.

    These people are taxpayers and citizens of this country; they are entitled to feel comfortable and welcome in their own country.

    The actions of Maxine Waters and the obstructionist, duplicitous, actions in general of the Democratic members of government are deeply troubling and let me tell you why...

    Government is supposed to be the governing body for the People. It is the creation of the Constitution, adopted by the People, organized in State Conventions. Government serves the States and the People. That's its sole function. It is NOT to serve itself or a Political Party.

    Years ago, before our Revolution, when people were dis-satisfied with their royal governor or with the King and Parliament, they protested; they petitioned, they engaged in peaceful acts of civil disobedience, designed to frustrate or scare those enforcing government policy. The point is that when government is not serving the people as legally authorized to do, it is the PEOPLE who organize and carry out the protests. That is how they put pressure on their government. In our present case, it is GOVERNMENT who is organizing and encouraging the protests - for government's interests only. Not for the people's interests. What we have now is a Political Party doing anything and everything it can to cause civil and national unrest because it believes it is entitled to the control of government. They absolutely can't stand the fact that Donald Trump won. And they absolutely refuse to accept it.

    If the people want the government to continue to be a GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, and FOR THE PEOPLE, the People are going to have to fight for it and defend it. Otherwise, it will become a Government of the Democratic Party, by the Democratic Party (and its band of indoctrinated useless idiots), for the Democratic Party.

    This is the state of our government in DC right now - It's no longer the seat of government. It is a battlefield. Democrats feel entitled to power in DC and the election of Donald Trump in 2016 threw them for a loop. That is why we have the insurance policy known as the Russian Collusion scandal; That is why we have talk of instability and impeachment; that is why Democrats have adopted the tactic of Personal Destruction.....

    We cannot be fooled by these desperate acts of a desperate political party. We can't give into their despicable tactics. We can never, ever allow such vile, uncivil, unethical, morally bankrupt people to control government. We need to keep their kind off our courts. We need to talk to our friends and neighbors and family members. We need to get conservatives out to vote. We need to support the #WalkAway movement. We also need to get those who ordinarily may not be conservative to get out and vote Republican - to prevent to stop the advancement of the Democratic Party agenda of national destruction.

    The tactics employed by the Democratic Party are evil. This conduct, this blackening of the heart, this outright hatred against fellow Americans, this campaign of character assassination, the silencing of speech, the gestapo tactics of fear and violence is not who we are as Americans. It sickens us. It tarnishes our good name and reputation as countrymen. It cheapens our republic. And it must be STOPPED.

    As Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA tweeted: "The sooner conservatives realize that the left will do absolutely anything to win - they will lie, cheat, steal, slander, falsify, attack, demagogue, insult, protest, malign, fabricate, make false accusation, and organize - the sooner we will realized that they will not give us our country back. We must fight for it."

    APPENDIX: Christine Blasey-Ford's Letter to Senator Dianne Feinstein

    July 30 2018

    CONFIDENTIAL

    Senator Dianne Feinstein

    Dear Senator Feinstein;

    I am writing with information relevant in evaluating the current nominee to the Supreme Court.

    As a constituent, I expect that you will maintain this as confidential until we have further opportunity to speak.

    Brett Kavanaugh physically and sexually assaulted me during high school in the early 1980's. He conducted these acts with the assistance of REDACTED.

    Both were one to two years older than me and students at a local private school.

    The assault occurred in a suburban Maryland area home at a gathering that included me and four others.

    Kavanaugh physically pushed me into a bedroom as I was headed for a bathroom up a short stair well from the living room. They locked the door and played loud music precluding any successful attempt to yell for help.

    Kavanaugh was on top of me while laughing with REDACTED, who periodically jumped onto Kavanaugh. They both laughed as Kavanaugh tried to disrobe me in their highly inebriated state. With Kavanaugh's hand over my mouth I feared he may inadvertently kill me.

    From across the room a very drunken REDACTED said mixed words to Kavanaugh ranging from "go for it" to "stop."

    At one point when REDACTED jumped onto the bed the weight on me was substantial. The pile toppled, and the two scrapped with each other. After a few attempts to get away, I was able to take this opportune moment to get up and run across to a hallway bathroom. I locked the bathroom door behind me. Both loudly stumbled down the stair well at which point other persons at the house were talking with them. I exited the bathroom, ran outside of the house and went home.

    I have not knowingly seen Kavanaugh since the assault. I did see REDACTED once at the REDACTED where he was extremely uncomfortable seeing me.

    I have received medical treatment regarding the assault. On July 6 I notified my local government representative to ask them how to proceed with sharing this information . It is upsetting to discuss sexual assault and its repercussions, yet I felt guilty and compelled as a citizen about the idea of not saying anything.

    I am available to speak further should you wish to discuss. I am currently REDACTED and will be in REDACTED.

    In confidence, REDACTED.
