In case there is any doubt in your mind that Republicans plan to confirm Kavanaugh no matter what they find out about his assault on Dr. Ford, let me share with you what Mitch McConnell said yesterday:

“Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said at the Values Voter Summit in Washington, D.C. Friday morning that he believes the Senate will wind up confirming Kavanaugh.”

So Dr. Ford will go in front of a group of hostile old white men who will try to smear her in every way possible while planning to vote for this questionable (at best) nominee for Continue reading →

When I was in high school, if a girl got pregnant it was automatically assumed she was to blame because, you know, guys will be guys. It amazes me that over fifty years later, this is the same sentiment being expressed by the old white men who run the Senate. Well, it doesn’t actually amaze me since it fits their picture of how the world should be.

If a boy had tried to rape me or feel me up or in any way approach me sexually, I would have considered it my fault for tempting them beyond their ability to Continue reading →

You have before you a man accused of attempted rape who has lied under oath and threatened the rights of Alaska Native people. So will you vote for your constituents’ best interest – the women and Alaska Natives you purport to represent – or will you vote for someone afraid to even allow the FBI to investigate the allegation? What is it, Lisa? Are you just another old white man in the Senate who happens to have breasts or are you truly in any way an independent senator who will vote her conscience?

I wish I could believe the latter Continue reading →

How bad does the attempted rape have to be for you to feel that testifying about it in front of the US Senate suddenly makes it look not so bad? Christine Blasey Ford has not yet responded to requests to appear before the Senate and, seriously, who can blame her? A group of old white men who think their power allows them to pinch and grope at will are going to attack her like she’s never been attacked before. They will make her appear as a sleazy liar and whore. They will do all they can to destroy her so Continue reading →

I know. It wasn’t hard to guess who the two contenders are – Donald Trump Jr. (the turd that fell from daddy’s butt) or Ted Cruz (who looks and acts like a turd from someone’s butt). Here’s today’s entries in their competition to be two of the worse people on earth who aren’t big pharma executives.

First, Turd Jr. He is publicly mocking a woman who has disclosed allegations of sexual assault by Kavanaugh by posting a made up letter online and calling her a liar. The fact that she took a lie detector test and passed doesn’t factor into Continue reading →

So the screams and cries and angst over the nomination of Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court reaches yet another level of anxiety and concern. Did he or didn’t he try to rape a girl in high school.

For those of you who think that this should not be an issue because it happened so long ago, do you really want your argument to be aligned with that of the Catholic Church over its sex abuse scandals?

OK, here’s the thing. This appointment is for life. So doesn’t it make sense to hold off on any vote until we are absolutely Continue reading →

Despite the fact that only one of our esteemed congressional delegation has the right to claim no balls by birth, none of them seems to have any at all – even those who should have them no matter how low they now hang.

Over the course of the past year, the POS currently sullying the White House has said and done things that have violated the ethics and morals of any good and decent person. The tweet about the deaths in Puerto Rico alone should have been met with swift and loud condemnation by anyone with even an ounce of Continue reading →

That’s the line from Bill Clinton’s campaign that has become immortalized in political circles for being the most succinct statement of what is needed to win ever made. Here’s my problem with it today.

Every supporter of the POS currently sullying the White House points to a healthy economy and low unemployment as reasons why he is actually a success and we should leave him alone. First, he is not solely responsible for the healthy economy or low unemployment but, as we all know, his ego will not let him admit that.

But secondly, and most importantly, for all you Continue reading →

AFN has come out in opposition to Kavanaugh. AFN.  You remember them, right? When you needed them, they were there for you. They put you over the top in your write in campaign. They have remained some of your most faithful voters.

So what are you going to do now, Lisa, now that they oppose this joke that is looking to get a job that will affect Native American and Alaska Native rights for possibly decades to come? Forget about women’s rights. I’m guessing as the mother of only boys this is not as important to you. You are past Continue reading →
