Republicans Knew Where Their Brot Was Buttered In 1860
I wasn't familiar with 'brot' so looked it up. My Mother 's saying was 'know which side your bread is buttered"
A Review of The Election of 1860: “A Campaign Fraught with Consequences” by Michael F. Holt (University Press of Kansas, 2017).
Chapter One of Michael F. Holt’s contribution to the corpulent body of work covering the election of 1860 is called “Republican Storm Rising” and it was political perfect storm that blew Abraham Lincoln into the White House.
One of, if not the most valuable contribution Holt makes to this burnt over district of scholarship is his insistence, from the very beginning, that the historical result of the 1860 election was not the apotheosis of a “man for all seasons,” in the form of Abraham Lincoln. No, Lincoln’s victory was propelled by the fire of party strife and the splintering of support of Lincoln’s otherwise (most) worthy candidates.

The Senate Judiciary Committee scheduled a Friday 9:30 AM ET vote on Kavanaugh according to a notice sent out by the Panel Tuesday evening.

The Huge Stakes of Thursday’s Confrontations
Thursday is shaping up to be the Trump presidency’s “Gunfight at O.K. Corral.”
That day, the fates of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, and much else, may be decided.
The New York Times report that Rosenstein, sarcastically or seriously in May 2017, talked of wearing a wire into the Oval Office to entrap the president, suggests that his survival into the new year is improbable.
Whether Thursday is the day President Donald Trump drops the hammer is unknown.

“The only way to clear up the Avenatti 4chan situation is for the FBI to investigate! Why won’t he let the FBI investigate?” -Jack Posobiec

The latest on Creepy Porn Lawyer, Michael Avenatti, and his accusation that he has a credible witness that says Kavanaugh organized and ran “trains” on drugged girls in high school, is that he was set up and duped by 4 Chan.
Meanwhile, the left is saying that the right is being duped by 4Chan into believing that Avenatti was duped.

Feinstein: ‘I Have No Way of Knowing’ if Ford Will Testify Thursday & Avenatti Accuses Kavanaugh of ‘Gang Rape,’ Alleges Vulgar Secret Code in High School Yearbook
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) said Tuesday she does not know if California psychology professor Christine Blasey Ford — who recently brought forth an allegation of sexual misconduct against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh — will testify Thursday.
Asked whether she expects Ford to testify before the Senate Judicial Committee Thursday if outside counsel is slated to ask the accuser questions, Feinstein replied “I have no way of knowing” if she will show up.In a letter sent to Chairman Grassley Monday evening, Ford’s attorneys criticized the panel’s hiring of an “experienced sex crimes prosecutor” to partake in the testimony, suggesting the professor may renege on the agreement to appear.

***********************************
Michael Avenatti, the Resistance paragon and 2020 Democratic hopeful, asked Monday for the Senate Judiciary Committee to investigate text in Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s high school yearbook for evidence of sexual predation.
Avenatti rose to national prominence representing adult film star Stormy Daniels in her quest to break free of a non-disclosure agreement with President Donald Trump; he now purports to represent a third individual accusing Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct.In an email to Mike Davis, Chief Counsel for Nominations for the Senate Judiciary Committee, Avenatti called on the panel to ask Kavanaugh about the meaning of a caption reading “FFFFFFFourth of July” — a code, the lawyer claims, means “Find them, French them, Feel them, Finger them, F*ck them, Forget them.”

Michael Avenatti Locks Account After Admitting Kavanaugh Accuser Might Not Come Forward
Attorney Michael Avenatti said his client might now not come forward against Brett Kavanaugh, and then locked his Twitter public profile from view.
After two days of ginning up publicity with the news he has a “100 percent credible” accuser against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, adding that she has “multiple witnesses to corroborate her story” and that she is “willing to take a polygraph,” Avenatti appeared to walk back that assurance in a Tuesday morning tweet“Let me be clear: We will disclose the client’s name and accusations only when SHE is ready and we have adequate security measures in place. And not a moment before that,” Avenatti tweeted. “It is her choice and hers alone as to when to surface bc it is her life. We expect it within the next 36 hrs.”

Goodies from Ol' Remus: The Coming Civil War Edition
Picture via Võ
Civil War II,
Return of Kings - The coming U.S. Civil War will not have the same
outcome as the U.S. Civil War in the 19th Century. As society breaks
down, other parts of our economy and civilization break down. Businesses
will cease to operate. General services will become unavailable, and
confidence in government is destroyed. The U.S. will eventually divide
into multiple factions, some will seek to impose a new government upon
others. As confidence in the U.S. Federal Government declines and
justice declines because of the deep state, mainstream media, and
progressivism, people, already divided against each other, will form
tribes. You are probably already seeing these tribes form.
Chicago Tribune - Are we on the verge of civil war? ... the present
path eventually ends in something like a hate-filled Iraq, Rwanda or the
Balkans
Raconteur Report - Es Kommt ...
Either the lunacy will stop, or the country will rend itself
The notion of a Civil War II is improbable but not farfetched. The
Democratic Party, their unelected supporters within government and the
news media
refuse to accept the result of the 2016 election, going so far as to
declare themselves "the resistance", as if losing made the election
illegitimate
and the country is now "occupied". Given the coordinated subversion
and sabotage it's safe to say the orderly transfer of power has failed
for the first time since the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860.
They trot out this provenance at every opportunity. It's why any opposition is automatically "fascist" and "Nazi". As NC Scout notes, they aren't campus activists of the snowflake persuasion. They're gearing up for a civil war, again.

After their shock in losing what amounted to
a rigged election, the Democratic Party lurched toward the Bolshevist
model of seizing power by insurrection on a wide front.
NC Scout at American Partisan advises caution about underestimating AntiFa, their armed wing. An excerpt:
The German Communist Party organized Antifaschistische Aktion in 1932, known now in America as AntiFa. Those old newsreels of street fighting in Berlin and elsewhere are mainly of the National Socialist paramilitary "Brownshirts" versus AntiFa. When you hear of the early concentration camps populated by political prisoners, it's largely AntiFa they're talking about.

Does the latest poll on Trump crush the Democrats’ hopes and dreams?
Via John
The 2018 Midterm elections are right around the corner.
Democrats are still predicting a “Blue Wave” will hand them control of Congress.
But Trump’s latest poll numbers were just released and it was bad news for Democrats.
Rasmussen’s polling shows Donald Trump’s Presidential Approval Index
is 10 points above Barack Obama’s ratings at this point in his term.
This is in spite of the constant attacks by the fake news media President Trump faces on a daily basis.

An Open Letter To Chairman Grassley Regarding the Confirmation to the Supreme Court of Judge Brett Kavanaugh

Re: Confirmation to the Supreme Court of Judge Brett Kavanaugh
Dear Senator Grassley:
I write to you in your capacity as Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, as a private citizen with relevant expertise in matters pertaining to Congressional correspondence. I support Judge Kavanaugh and believe Dr. Christine Blaseley Ford is being less than forthcoming with respect to her allegations against him.
Specifically, I believe Dr. Ford's letter may have been written by a third party, and should be evaluated with this in mind, for the reasons below. (Please forgive any typos as it is late in the evening and I understand this matter is time-sensitive.):

Republicans Have A Simple Choice: Vote To Confirm Kavanaugh Or Get Slaughtered In November
The
calculus isn't complicated. Republicans can stand up to vile Democrat
smears and vote to confirm Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, or
they can give in and kiss their congressional majorities goodbye.
In case the election of one Donald J. Trump was not enough to compel the D.C. Republican establishment swamp creatures to wipe the muck from their eyes and see what’s happening with their own constituents, Republican voters have had enough of feckless do-nothings whose careers consist of little more than not doing everything they promised to do.
