Poll: Interest in Midterms Lags For Key Democrat Voting Blocs (Young Voters, Independents, Non-white Voters)

Posted by Fuzzy Slippers on September 23, 2018 16 Comments

Here's what we know because we've been repeatedly told: One, if the Democrats take one or both Houses of Congress, President Trump will be, at best, more lame than the lamest lame duck in the history of our nation as he complies with a zillion Congressional inquiries and demands and fights impeachment (should the Dems win the House); two, the leftist dream, of course, is that President Trump be removed from office (should the Dems win the Senate); and/or three, he will be impeached and removed from office if Democrats take both the House and the Senate. This isn't rocket science or tea leaves, it's what they've clearly and constantly said since President Trump trounced twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton back in 2016.

Will the Kavanaugh Hearing Drama Impact California Senate Race?

Posted by Leslie Eastman on September 23, 2018 22 Comments

Legal Insurrection readers may recall my recent post on California's November ballot and the poll that indicated Senator Dianne Feinstein has only an 8-point advantage over progressive challenger, state senator Kevin de León.

#MeToo Hypocrisy: Dems and media look other way as Keith Ellison says his accuser fabricated claims

Posted by Fuzzy Slippers on September 22, 2018 18 Comments

Anyone still claiming that #MeToo is anything other than a political weapon is either hopelessly naive or happily—and selectively—wielding it to mow down political foes while ignoring #MeToo allegations against their political friends. Case in point: the frenzy surrounding a single decades-old allegation against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh has attracted the attention of every #MeToo figure on the planet, yet these same people are surprisingly uninterested in the allegations of long-standing domestic abuse against Keith Ellison.
