Kavanaugh

I had so many items in Bits & Bytes about Trump’s SCOTUS nominee, I decided to just give him his own posting.

WIDESPREAD SUPPORT: President Trump made the right choice. Eighteen of Judge Kavanaugh’s female law clerks, 26 state Attorneys General, and more than 160 members of the Yale University community have signed letters praising his unsurpassed qualifications for a seat on the Court.

Bits & Bytes

Sorry to be gone for so long! I was nursing my latest flare up. But I’ve got a LOT of stuff below to make it all up to you. 🙂

TRUMP’S LEADERSHIP: Member nations of NATO have pledged their “unwavering commitment” to increase defense funding. This is a victory for President Trump who has long called for other countries to share the burden of military spending. A Forbes report revealed that the U.S. spends more than double in defense spending for NATO than all other countries combined. I’m not going to hold my breath waiting on the MSM to report any of this.

In Case You Haven’t Noticed

President Trump has had a busy week. Last Monday he named his choice for the next Supreme Court Justice. The next day he headed for the NATO summit in Brussels, where he took command. Then he was off to England, where he met both PM Theresa May and Her Highness. Now he’s off to meet one-on-one with Putin. Obama spent most of his time golfing, vacationing on somebody else’s property, or giving away America’s treasure trying to buy good will from terrorists. Now the dems are trying to tell Trump what to do. He’s got this:

Media, Democrats Want Trump to Cancel Putin Meeting, or Include Others
The president has not set out publicly what his goals in the meeting would be, causing further consternation to journalists and the opposition — though he said last week at a joint press conference with British Prime Minister Theresa May that he would bring up Russia’s election meddling.
May backed up Trump, noting that he had responded strongly to Russia’s alleged nerve agent attack against against a former spy and his daughter in Britain earlier this year.

Eating His Words

Democrats are pretty much able to do and say whatever they feel like without backlash. Tennessee Democrat Steve Cohen came to the defense of blue ribbon jackass Peter Strzok during last week’s dog and pony show. He had to walk it back, then blamed Fox.
On Friday’s broadcast of “CNN Newsroom,” Representative Steve Cohen (D-TN) stated that he regrets saying Peter Strzok deserves a Purple Heart and that he used the term “metaphorically, not literally. I never literally thought the Purple Heart should have been given to Agent Strzok.”

How Can We Miss You

…if you won’t go away?
OK, this isn’t funny anymore. When Hillary’s plans for world domination were smashed, I’m convinced something snapped. Now she’s behaving like the famous scene: “Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for my closeup.”
Hillary begins speech: “I’m so tired, I can barely stand.”
Receiving the Women’s Rights Award from the union, she railed on how she has been oppressed in life.
