It's always fascinating to me how people can go from a situation of brutal oppression to becoming the oppressors. Some free blacks owned slaves and profited from the slave trade.
The U.S. Coast Guard has removed a member of its Hurricane Florence emergency response team in Charleston after he flashed an "OK" hand symbol during an interview on MSNBC Friday. The Coast Guard says an investigation has been opened into the incident, since the symbol has been associated with white supremacists.
Even if the allegation is true and in view of his otherwise exemplary life and career, to deny him a seat on the Supreme Court because of a single mishap at the age of 17 would be a travesty. Sadly, the fate of the nation may very well hang in the balance.
MONA WILLIAMS' ASSERTION that the 25th Amendment should be invoked to remove President Trump from office is dangerous and representative of how the progressive left has been rendered mentally unstable by his successful presidency and the subsequent destruction of Barack Obama's stagnant, debt-ridden, race-baiting legacy. The president is clearly able "to discharge the powers and duties of his office," and in doing so has restored economic growth by trusting the people to keep more of their money, restored a semblance of law and order at the southern border, negotiated fair trade deals with foreign powers, crushed ISIS, neutered Assad and Putin, and brought the hope of peace to the Korean Peninsula and the world.
Our dear commonwealth certainly prides itself in the way it does politics. We've long heard about The Virginia Way, not to mention the General Assembly's distinction among New World democratic bodies.
University of Oklahoma law professor Anita Hill testifies before the Senate Judiciary Committee on the nomination of Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court on Capitol Hill in Washington, on Oct. 11, 1991. When I first called Anita Hill in 1991 to ask her, out of the blue, if she had been sexually harassed by then-Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas, she was very reluctant to give me any details.
Beyond Judge Brett Kavanaugh's grace under assault and Senator Ben Sasse's brilliant lecture on the failure of the Congress to exercise and thereby protect its constitutionally prescribed legislative functions, there was little to admire in the Senate Judiciary Committee's hearings on the nomination of Kavanaugh as an associate justice of the Supreme Court. Democrats on the committee struggled desperately to condemn the process and portray the nominee as evil incarnate, while Republicans slow-pitched softballs to a nominee capable of hitting intellectual curveballs out of the park.
Nervous Republican incumbents can take comfort in President Trump's fulfilled promise not to change Social Security. I don't know if this was deliberate or coincidental, but House Speaker Paul Ryan was focused on the President's agenda of tax cuts.
How did this man get elected? Why do you still support him? How can you condone his rude tweets and personal attacks? How can you call yourself a Christian and support this lying, immoral man? These are just some of the questions Trump supporters are asked as the left does everything it can to resist, derail, and impeach President Trump. Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee brings some perspective, "Even if the best surgeon has a bad bedside manner, you still want him doing your surgery!" Trump is irreverent.
Molly Kelly is wrong about New Hampshire business taxes. As a state senator, Kelly staunchly opposed Republican efforts to lower New Hampshire's punishing business tax rates, as Kelly and her fellow Democrats argued doing so would would "blow a $90 million hole in the budget."
Upon the memory and truthfulness of Christine Blasey Ford hangs the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh, his reputation, and possibly his career on the nation's second highest court. And much more.
It is almost impossible to overstate the damage done to America's moral compass by taking the charges leveled against Judge Brett Kavanaugh seriously. Those who claim the charges against Judge Kavanaugh by Christine Blasey Ford are important and worth investigating, and that they ultimately, if believed, invalidate his candidacy for the U.S. Supreme Court are stating that: a) What a middle-aged adult did in high school is all we need to know to evaluate an individual's character -- even when his entire adult life has been impeccable.
Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh was nominated by President Trump to fill the vacancy on the court left by retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy. (Drew Angerer At first, the charge was too sketchy to attract much attention.
Less than two years ago, the conventional wisdom told us that President Donald Trump had transformed the political map: GOP strongholds in the South had joined with gains in the Rust Belt and upper Midwest , giving Republicans an electoral lock for years to come. Then came 20 months of the Trump presidency.
In this Sept. 6, 2018 photo, Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh waits to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee for the third day of his confirmation hearing, on Capitol Hill in Washington.
The fact that the US has maintained a broad-and now growing-combat footprint in Syria continues to be so overlooked by the establishment press that even prominent New York Times columnists have forgotten it. The anonymous New York Times op-ed , purportedly written by a senior Trump administration official, coupled with the release of Bob Woodward's new book, Fear -itself full of White House back-stabbing and anonymous quotes-unleashed a veritable tsunami of breathless press speculation last week.

It sounds unlikely, but the record shows that the most effective foreign policy adviser to President Donald Trump since his election has been Barack Obama.

Terrified of alienating the activist bases of their respective parties, Democrats and Republicans in Congress rarely even try to compromise anymore.
Friday was a good day for the rule of law. Paul Manafort admitted to a bevy of crimes he committed over nearly a decade, and he agreed to cooperate with Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
