Weeping, Raging Kavanaugh Accuses Democrats Of Conspiracy

In an angry, rage-fueled opening statement before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh publicly melted down as he tried, and failed, to defend himself against multiple, credible allegations of sexual assault.

When he wasn’t crying or shaking with anger, Kavanaugh was raging about how unfair life is, spouting conspiracy theories about the accusations against him, and hurling unhinged attacks against Democrats.

“This confirmation process has become a national disgrace,” Kavanaugh said in a shrill and raised voice. “The Constitution gives the Senate an important role in the confirmation process. But you have replaced ‘advice and consent’ with ‘search and destroy.’”

Directing his comments at Democrats, Kavanaugh angrily added, “Since my nomination in July, there’s been a frenzy on the left to come up with something, anything to block my confirmation.”

“You sowed the wind,” he told the Democratic senators in the room, “the country will reap the whirlwind.”

Throughout his statement, which deviated from the written statement released Wednesday, he leaned heavily on the calendar defense, presenting his own handwritten notes on a calendar from three decades ago as some sort of “proof” that he couldn’t have possibly engaged in the behavior he’s accused of — even though it actually shows just the opposite.

At one point, he even referred to the most recent accusations against him by Julie Swetnick as “a joke and a farce.”

If there were any questions that Kavanaugh had an aggressive and belligerent side as described by his classmates, he answered those questions with his own behavior Thursday.

His remarks were a disgraceful display of privilege and partisan fury, reflecting his belief that he — not the women who have been publicly demeaned, smeared, and threatened for coming forward — is real victim in all of this.

But Kavanaugh knew he was performing for an audience for one — the admitted sexual predator who nominated him — and for that one man, his unhinged rant fit the bill.

For the rest of the country? Not so much.

Watch for yourself.

History And Terror In The Skies Over Israel

Iran has launched a swarm of missile and drone strikes on Israel from Iranian territory, marking a significant military escalation between the two nations. Israel and Iran have been engaged in a so-called shadow war for decades, with Iranian proxies like Hezbollah rocketing Israel from Lebanon and Syria, and Israel retaliating by launching air strikes on Hezbollah missile sites. Israel has also launched strikes on Iranian targets in other countries, most recently an airstrike on part of the Iranian embassy in Damascus, Syria, which killed several top Iranian “advisers” to its military, including Mohammad Reza Zahedi, a senior officer in Iran’s Quds Force, an espionage and paramilitary arm of Iran’s army.

How A Dire Shortage Of Poll Workers Threatens Our Democracy

Barack Obama got it right. He refused to be held captive to his party's left wing. He adopted a strenuous policy of border enforcement, even as some Latino activists threatened to withhold their support for him. He had tense relations with Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu, but when anti-Israel protesters interrupted a Biden fundraiser over the Gaza conflict, Obama reprimanded them: "Here's the thing, you can't just talk and not listen." And the hall broke into applause.
