I don't know what happened 30 years ago when Professor Blasey Ford was assaulted by someone but I know she was violated in 2018.  She had her experience of 30 years ago dragged into the public.  She was made to go before a circus event in the Committee hearing, and she received all kinds of threats and hate mail that she didn't deserve.  And I know who the culprits were that caused this - the Democrats.  Here's who I blame: 1. I place the blame first with Senator Diane Feinstein.  Professor Ford sent a letter in confidence to Senator Feinstein.  Professor Ford did not want to come public, she did not want to endure what she endured.  Now the Senator from California denies being the leaker but she was the one to whom Professor Ford sent the letter and in whom Professor Ford placed her trust.  Senator Feinstein breached that trust by not ensuring the confidentiality of that letter. 2. Blame falls next on whomever released the letter and there is...

Innocent until proven guilty - President Trump called them beautiful words.  Democrats responded by saying that then Judge Kavanaugh was not in a court of law and that rule does not apply.  That's a true statement, the issue was not before a court of law but I'm not buying that argument. In this case the US Senate had a duty to decide a question - should Judge Kavanaugh's nomination to the US Supreme Court be approved.  A key issue before them was whether he had committed sexual assault on women in his past.  Evidence was presented - both in the form of testimony by witnesses and a report from the FBI. The Senators then had to make a decision. So the question becomes what standard would you use to make the determination?  If it's not innocent until proven guilty then what?  Guilty until proven innocent? Beyond a reasonable doubt, preponderance of the evidence, more likely than not; all of those are measures that are applied after you answer the firs...

Here are my three predictions of what will happen after Hurricane Michael is done and people are assessing the aftermath. 1. There will be great damage, power outages all over, some loss of life, some people injured. 2. The damage,injuries and deaths will not be as great after Michael as they were in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria hit that island.  Plus power will be restored relatively quickly, certainly people will not be lacking power a year afterwards as is true in Puerto Rico. 3. People will say the reason things are better in Florida after Micheal than in Puerto Rico after Maria is because the population is predominantly white and President Donald Trump is a racist. To the people who say that the fact that the local officials in Florida were prepared while the Puerto Rico local officials were not has nothing to do with it. The fact that State officials in Florida were prepared while the territorial officials in Puerto Rico were not has nothing to do with it. Th...
