By: Andrew C. McCarthy – nationalreview.com – September 26, 2018 I’ve never thought the big Ford–Kavanaugh hearing scheduled for Thursday would actually happen. Maybe I’ll be proved wrong, but I’ve never believed Christine Blasey Ford wants to testify. This hearing is not going to settle the issue of what, if anything, happened 36 years ago — which, as I’ve noted,...

By: Solange Reyner – newsmax.com – September 26, 2018 Two additional allegations of sexual misconduct against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh surfaced Wednesday, but the claims came from anonymous sources and one of the accusers reportedly recanted his story, according to reports. Bloomberg said Kavanaugh on Tuesday was asked about an alleged rape on a boat in Rhode Island in...

By: Lisa Mascaro, Alan Fram & Laurie Kellman – apnews.com – September 27, 2018 With high drama in the making, Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh emphatically fended off new accusations sexual misconduct Wednesday and headed into a charged public Senate hearing that could determine whether Republicans can salvage his nomination and enshrine a high court conservative majority. The Senate Judiciary...

By: Andrew C. McCarthy – nationalreview.com – September 26, 2018 I used to see the mainstream media as an adjunct of the Democratic party. That’s debatable; it could be that the party is the adjunct. Either way, the most brazenly overt aspect of the partnership is that the press no longer even feigns interest in allegations against nominees; it is...

By: Alexandra Desanctis – nationalreview.com – September 24, 2018 It’s been nearly a year since Ronan Farrow torpedoed the career of Harvey Weinstein, printing in The New Yorker a series of credible accusations that the Hollywood producer had sexually abused several women. His piece touched off a firestorm that led to purges of incredibly powerful men in a variety of...

By: David French – nationalreview.com – September 24, 2018 In tonight’s interview with Martha MacCallum, it would have been easy for Brett Kavanaugh to play the legal equivalent of a prevent defense. He’s a smart enough lawyer to understand the state of the evidence. None of his accusers have been able to come forward with a single witness who can...

By: Jordan Fabian & Scott Wong – thehill.com – September 21, 2018 The White House and congressional Republicans are blaming one another for a difficult political environment that has bolstered Democrats’ chances of winning control of the House, and possibly the Senate. Republicans on Capitol Hill say President Trump’s lack of discipline and penchant for controversy has put them at...

By: Malachi Bailey – westernjournal.com – September 20, 2018 The left’s characterization of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh is falling apart after another individual identified as being present during the alleged sexual assault by Kavanaugh has come forward and rejected the accuser’s story. In a letter sent to Sen. Dianne Feinstein, California professor Christine Blasey Ford said there were four...

By: Andrew McCarthy – nationalreview.com – September 21, 2018 This is about preventing a conservative justice from being added to the Supreme Court, nothing more. Senate Democrats’ blatant abuse of the hearing process, their “delay, delay, delay” strategy, continues to pay dividends. Putting a stop to it would be long overdue. Thursday was the day Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s manifestly meritorious...

By: Cristina Laila – thegatewaypundit.com – September 20, 2018 Is this a case of mistaken identity? Accuser Christine Blasey Ford is waging a war on Trump’s SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh with decades-old, unsubstantiated claims of sexual assault in an effort to derail his confirmation to the Supreme Court. Judge Kavanaugh has categorically denied the allegations and even told Senator Orin...
