DEMS SET UP COMING CLAIM THAT KAVANAUGH IS ILLEGITMATE: Just in case there’s any doubt about what Democrats’ post-Kavanaugh confirmation claims will be, they made it clear at the opening of the third and last day of the judge’s hearing they will claim he is illegitimate. Just like Trump is for colluding with Russian intelligence to steal the 2016 election from Hillary Clinton.

And isn’t it impressive how all those Senate Democrats are accepting Sen. Thom Tillis’ challenge that, since they are going to make confidential documents public, they also  make public all of their emails concerning the Kavanaugh hearing. Can’t wait to read all about how they plotted with far-left protestors to disrupt and derail the hearing.

DEMOCRATS REVIVE THE PARANOID STYLE IN AMERICAN POLITICS: If that title sounds vaguely familiar, you’ve probably been around for a lot of years. It’s from the title of a 1964 Harper’s Magazine feature by Columbia historian Richard Hofstader.

Democrats used it against Barry Goldwater then and have accused conservatives and Republicans of being paranoid about Blacks, Hispanics, change, The Other, Climate Change, The Future, and just about everything else in every election since LBJ buried Goldwater.

But check this out: Democrats on the opening day of the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings put on a clinic for applying the paranoid style of politics. Yes, it’s not the first time they’ve done so, but boy is it obvious in the attacks on Kavanaugh.

FIVE WAYS DEMS WILL ATTACK KAVANAUGH TODAY: It’s going to get rough on Hearing Day Two for the judge. Here are five lines of attack Senate Democrats will pursue in their efforts to discredit Brett Kavanaugh (and the president who nominated him).

IS DITCHING FACEBOOK BECOMING A THING ON THE RIGHT? This survey says a third of self-identified conservatives either have already or are seriously considering leaving Facebook. If this phenomenon gains momentum, it could be big trouble for Silicon Valley’s liberal poo-bahs, not just Mark Zuckerberg.

HERE’S WHAT ANGERED MSM MOST ABOUT BOLYARD’S REPORTING: That she simply reported the straight facts? That’s about the size of it, PJ Media’s Paula Bolyard told Laura Ingraham this morning. LifeZette’s Brendan Kirby has more on how liberal journos react when a colleague gives “just the facts, ma’am.”

GET YOUR GLOBAL WARMING LAW ENFORCEMENT HERE! A new report compiled by the indefatigable Chris Horner of the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) exposes a previously secret $50 million fund used to pay for global warming litigation by Democratic state attorneys general and their staffs.

“This is political. We have a policymaking process. They tried it and failed. So their stance is, ‘It’s not working, so we’re going to use law enforcement,’” Horner says in the report, according to LifeZette’s Brendan Kirby.

Horner uncovered, among much else, an email from a staffer to California’s Governor Moonbeam pitching the fund to staffers of the governors of Washington state and New York. The Brown aide wrote “before you gasp, please note that foundations are currently spending over $1 billion a year on climate work.”

As Glenn says, just keeping scrolling.

THINGS DEMS SAID ABOUT MCCAIN THEY’D NOW LIKE YOU TO FORGET: Do Obama, Biden, Schumer and Pelosi mean it now when they praise John McCain or did they actually mean it back when they were calling him a Bush toady, a corporate tool, and a peddler of despicable political smears? The Internet never forgets.

ABOUT THOSE “JOBS AMERICANS WON’T DO:” In fact, such jobs are almost non-existent. Based on data from the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS), the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) found only six of 474 civilian occupations in which there is a non-native majority. That whooshing sound you hear is the air going out of another Open Borders talking point.

OBAMA JUDGE KILLS TRUMP ORDER TO DRAIN DEEPEST PART OF THE SWAMP: No part of the Washington Swamp is more deeply entrenched than the federal bureaucrat unions. So it was no surprise when the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) filed suit against President Donald Trump’s May 25 Executive Order (EO) directly challenging the bureaucrat unions’ power and perks.

Today, a Department of Justice spokesman hems and haws on what the administration will do in response to an Obama-appointed federal judge’s ruling late Friday striking down most of Trump’s EO. LifeZette’s Connor Wolf puts it all in proper context. This is VIP because if Trump can make Mexico pay for that wall, maybe he can also penetrate the bureaucrat wall that protects Washington against genuine reform.

WHAT IF THE LEFT TREATED IMMIGRANTS LIKE THEY DO GUNS? Now that’s an interesting question and LifeZette’s Brendan Kirby doesn’t hold back on the answers.

THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY OF JOHN MCCAIN: Far from a comprehensive account but it lays out the basic cases on all three points.

JOHN MCCAIN’S PASSING — A MORE BALANCED ASSESSMENT: More balanced than any of the mainstream media paeans I’ve seen thus far tonight, that is.

SURPRISE! FBI DIDN’T REVIEW ALL 700K CLINTON EMAILS ON HUMA’S LAPTOP: Former FBI Director James Comey told Congress and the world that agents reviewed all of the nearly 700,000 Clinton email messages found on the Huma Abedin/Anthony Weiner laptop just before the 2016 election.

But now Real Clear Investigations’ Paul Sperry reveals that Comey’s claim was an outright lie. The truth is, as outrageous as was the FBI whitewash in July 2016 of Clinton’s extensive misuse of classified information with her homebrew email between 2009 and 2015, it pales in blatant, outright falsification with the October Surprise.

I know, you aren’t surprised and neither am I, but Sperry uncovers all kinds of facts that show the corruption ran deep and wide at the highest levels of the FBI and the Department of Justice. As one famous guy might once have said, “no friggin’ wonder she got away with it!”

BET YOU’VE HEARD NOTHING TILL NOW ABOUT THESE ILLEGAL ALIEN CRIMES: Not all illegal immigrants coming into this country commit heinous crimes, to be sure, but every one of them that does represents a preventable tragedy. Mainstream media avoid reporting such crimes like the plague. If you lived near these five crime scenes, would you want to know about them?

WHAT’S THIS? DONALD TRUMP, FIRST AMENDMENT CHAMPION? It came near the end of the president’s long campaign rally Tuesday night in West Virginia, so hardly anybody noticed it. But LifeZette’s Brendan Kirby caught it.

Now, when will ABC, CBS, NBC, The New York Times, The Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, etc. etc. put aside the fact Trump defending the First Amendment rights of even his most intellectually dishonest media critics totally undermines their “Tyrant Trump Is Destroying the First Amendment” meme and quote what he actually said? No, I’m not holding my breath, either.

HERE’S BETTING BRENNAN SHUTS UP ABOUT GOING TO COURT: When the president of the United States, who has, shall we say, a high level of previous experience with litigation, essentially responds to your threat to take him to court with a hearty “So sue me” … 

IF THIS DOESN’T MAKE YOU FEAR FOR OUR COUNTRY … Mark Perry, writing in American Conservative:

“Here’s the arithmetic: One in three potential recruits are disqualified from service because they’re overweight, one in four cannot meet minimal educational standards (a high school diploma or GED equivalent), and one in 10 have a criminal history.

“In plain terms, about 71 percent of 18-to-24-year-olds (the military’s target pool of potential recruits) are disqualified from the minute they enter a recruiting station: that’s 24 million out of 34 million Americans.”

REAL CLEAR INVESTIGATIONS’ LEE SMITH IS THE GO-TO SOURCE: At least if you seek to gain a comprehensive understanding of the Russia Collusion scandal. It’s all gathered here in one place for you.

CAN YOU GUESS HOW MANY SPECIAL ELECTION LOSERS WIN SUBSEQUENT REMATCHES? The answer will surprise you because it’s somewhat counter-intuitive, but LifeZette’s Brendan Kirby checked the history and did the math. Hint: Ohio Democrat Danny O’Connor probably shouldn’t be making any plane reservations for D.C. just yet.

NO GOOD REASON TO BRING DOWN THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION: Matt Fitzgibbons wonders why anybody would not want to have a 24/7 orbiting science lab that conducts experiments that can’t be conducted anywhere on Earth. It’s a good question.

NEW MEXICO COMPOUND TERRORIST HERE DUE TO VISA PROBLEM U.S. HASN’T FIXED SINCE 9/11: LifeZette’s Brendan Kirby has the exclusive on why that Haitian woman arrested in the New Mexico Islamic terrorist compound was able to stay undetected in this country for decades. It’s a problem the 9/11 Commission highlighted.

FIVE NEW CASES OF APOPLECTIC INSTANT MELTDOWN (AIM) REPORTED! You already know about Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) but experts are now saying that if TDS is left untreated, its last stage before complete, irreversible political lunacy is AIM. LifeZette has five examples just from the reaction to John Brennan losing his security clearance.

CENSORSHIP BY LIBERALS IS OUT OF CONTROL: Now you can’t wear an NRA shirt to class. But not to worry because Babylon Bee assures us that utopia is just one or two more outrages away!

CAN THERE BE COMPROMISE BETWEEN EVANGELICALS AND THE GAY LOBBY? Not, according to Southern Baptist Theological Seminary President Al Mohler Jr., if it requires giving up the understanding that the Bible is the inspired word of God and He means what He says about men, women, marriage and sexuality.

TOLERANCE DOESN’T MEAN WHAT YOU AND I THINK IT DOES. AT LEAST NOT AT UVA: For one thing, it is absolutely verboten to be connected in any form or fashion with the Trump administration. LifeZette’s Elizabeth M. Economou has the details of what happened at the Miller Center at Thomas Jefferson’s school when it hired former Trump congressional liason Marc Short. I guess we can say this incident adds a new chapter to the history of virulent academic McCarthyism.
