I believe in Kavanaugh

“So the vomiting that you reference in the Ralph Club reference related to the consumption of alcohol?” asked Whitehouse.

“Senator, I was at the top of my class academically, busted my butt in school. Captain of the varsity basketball team,” said Kavanaugh. “Got in Yale College. When I got into Yale College, got into Yale Law School. Worked my tail off.”

… and liked beer. Which Irish boy doesn't? So what.

Palo Alto residents discuss the Second Door

Psychologist Blasey Ford based her story of lifelong sexual trauma on several indirect proofs, one of them was her building a second front door on their bedroom (so she could never be locked in again). This is considered corroborating evidence by experts: "I mean, who needs two front doors?"

Neighbors went to check this second front door and truly, there is a small semi-hidden second front door. The locals wondered if it was an escape door as she presented it or just the addition of a "rentable property" that is legal in Palo Alto and very common.

The consensus of the locals seems to be that her home is in a most valuable site, near Google's campus, with the potential of producing an income of 1500 dollar per month. In fact, she said that the annex is rented out to Google interns. Apparently her love/need of that extra income is stronger than her fear of letting in strangers in her home. Maybe the interns are female or gay.

Some locals never heard of the Palo Alto University (pic from its website) where she works. The institution exists and occupies a modest commercial building. I have the impression that it takes in everybody and it is not a standard academic institution. In the mall on the other side of my street operates a "Holistic Health School", I imagine it is comparable to the Palo Alto University. May be I am wrong.


Both Blasey Ford and Judge Kavanaugh are working elite. Following the left's accusations of the  "privileged White" one could imagine that they are wealthy, parasitic, feudal aristocrats, but these people are decent, hard-working middle-class professionals. The best of America. The whole affair is a tragedy, the Senate should not allow this circus.

The Kavanaugh Nomination Drama

In my former blog I got caught in the Flint water scandal (declared "National Disaster" by Obama) and followed up the issue from the first water analysis to the fate of the millions channeled to Flint. Now I am being fascinated by the Brett Kavanaugh debate in the Senate. Kavanaugh is a Republican nominee, in a country divided. The trial, because that is what is, was carefully orchestrated. Feinstein kept the sexually abused woman in reserve till the moment came to make her public. The tactic was to gain time and leave the position open, so she was not allowed to fly - under false pretenses - to Washington. The Democrats did not let the issue be finished in the Committee, they lost but won a week and complicated the process by an FBI investigation aimed at collecting dirt on the candidate.

My impression that it is reasonable that two drunk teenagers tried to play with the drunk girl, but at 17 they were virgins and did not know how to do it. No penetration nor anything resembling it. To inflate this episode into a gang rape is ludicrous. The police would not even register the incident, as no one was hurt and they were all underage and drunk. Basically, nothing happened.

Brett had an enviable youth, a week in the beach with his friends, sports, beers, fun. None of the identity hang ups of a refugee Jew like me. He was happily unaware that he was the ruling class of America and "privileged". He appears a serious, responsible candidate to the Supreme Judge, a man born and raised for the job. I see nothing wrong with him.

 I assume the second raw were sitting the Senators' assistants and trainees, the future generation of American legislators. There was an immobile fat African woman, is she the next "Wise Latina"/"Wise Bantu"? Heather Sawyer, a homo activist and minority counsel for the House Judiciary Committee, was there. As we use to say, we survived the Pharaoh, we shall survive them too. Sad to see America so hysterical and divided.

Lindsey Graham: I am a single white man.

Yesterday's Senate Committee meeting was riveting. I found many little diamonds hidden in the manure-mound of the debate. At least we know Lindsey will never be accused of inappropriate behavior with a woman. I liked his blond clean look and I was impressed by his strong speech in the debate. He was the only man among those lachrymose little politicians, all shamelessly licking the ass of that woman. What she was doing at 15 in a drinking ski party with four bigger boys? 

Senator Graham, who has been in office since 2003 and serves on the armed services senate committee, shares with us the opinion that the last thing the world needs is a nuclear-armed Iran.  Quote: 'My view of military force would be not to just neutralise their nuclear programme, which are probably dispersed and hardened, but to sink their navy, destroy their air force and neuter that regime." Graphicly said, Sir. 

Warning

I am watching Judge Kavanaugh confirmation. Senator(ess) Clobuchar just said "We have to consider what internet sites (the defendant) looks to". She was not referring specifically to Judge Kavanaugh but to her experience as prosecutor.

Warning!  Don't look at this site if you want to be confirmed to anything. I am a natural born Jewish intellectual, lifelong liberal (almost socialist), but many classify me as rightist because I love the settlers of Judea and Samaria. I even think that the rapid re-peopling of those "territories" (a miserable plot of infertile calcareous soil of 10,000 sq.km.) in our generation is like a dream, like a miracle. Be warned that this is a Zionist pro-settler site.

Ariel Sharon (L) sits with his wife Lily (3rdL) and his sons, Gilad (2ndL) and Omri (4thL) in the West Bank in this picture taken in 1977. I think the pic was taken at the foundation of the city of Ariel. Begin spoke. I was there. 

Where are the slaves of the Ethiopian Jews?

An entry in Facebook tells about the Ethiopian Jews. They like others in Ethiopia, they too had Sudanese Bantu slaves, that trekked with their masters and families to the Sudan, where they too were all taken to Israel. The writer says that the original Jews do not marry with the slaves even in Israel, and there are cases that the original Ethiopian Jewish recruit refuses to obey orders from an Ethiopian officer of the slave class. I never heard about this but it would be only too human if true. Pic.: The origin of the story. 

Trump is winning the trade war against the world

Trump has done little in terms of foreign trade, yet he has frightened China, Germany and other exporting countries to discipline themselves. Almost all the currencies have lost worth vis-à-vis the mighty dollar. CNBC  estimates that the external debt of 205 countries is $76.9 trillion in dollars. A 1 percent increase in the cost of debt results in a need to increase interest payments by $769 billion dollars. A 2 percent increase, which is close to what has been the rise in the effective Fe Funds rate, if spread globally, would force nations to increase their payments by $1.5 trillion. To the USA. What are the tariffs on 200 billion dollars on China imports? Peanuts.
