In Today’s World – Would I – Would You Take The Chance?

I have a wife, daughter, and granddaughter. I want them to have a fair and equal opportunity. I want to know if they are attacked, justice will be done. But the world has changed dramatically and not for the better.

Now imagine, I own a business. It is doing well, and I am in need of an assistant. I have just witnessed what false charges have done to the nomination of a supreme Court Judge. I read the headlines. Four dentists accused of rape, totally false charges. I have seen many college students wrongly accused of sexual impropriety, and had their lives destroyed.

Do I take the chance in today’s world and hire a female?

Honestly, as things stand today, I would not. I would hire a man over a women, even if less qualified. Every day working alone in a business with woman. Knowing, no matter what happens I could lose everything. I would not want to risk the possible consequences of a disgruntled employee making a false accusation. I would feel the same, if I had a small all-male team. The overawing danger to the business and each of the men would outweigh the benefit. And that is sad, because just a few weeks ago, I would have. But today I would be terrified to work alone, in my business with a woman. Knowing what one word from her would do.

The fact is that today, a man is guilty, until he can prove, he is innocent. And even when completely exonerated, the damage to character is irreparable. My wife proved that to me just this morning. She said, “I don’t believe he did it, but if he did he better watch out now. Everyone will be watching him.” Not right but it is the world today.

Michael Avenatti Turns Radioactive As Liberals Blame Porn Lawyer For Kavanaugh Confirmation

Via Billy

Guess he now realizes that he is but a Useful Idiot.

 

Following Friday's announcement by Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) that she would vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, the left flipped on one of its recent heroes; Michael Avenatti.

In a fiery speech announcing her decision, Collins ripped unsupported claims by Avenatti's client, Julie Swetnick, that Kavanaugh facilitated a Cosby-esque "gang rape" operation while in high school.

We Are All Deplorables Now: Trump is president because he gets it.

 

This was a neo-Bolshevik show trial where the defendant was presumed guilty and due process meant digging up dirt from his school days to smear and break him.

Four days after he described Christine Blasey Ford, the accuser of Judge Brett Kavanaugh, as a “very credible witness,” President Donald Trump could no longer contain his feelings or constrain his instincts.

With the fate of his Supreme Court nominee in the balance, Trump let his “Make America Great Again” rally attendees in Mississippi know what he really thought of Ford’s testimony.

General Westmoreland Considered Nuclear Response in Vietnam War, Cables Show

Via David

In one of the darkest moments of the Vietnam War, the top American military commander in Saigon activated a plan in 1968 to move nuclear weapons to South Vietnam until he was overruled by President Lyndon B. Johnson, according to recently declassified documents cited in a new history of wartime presidential decisions.

The documents reveal a long-secret set of preparations by the commander, Gen. William C. Westmoreland, to have nuclear weapons at hand should American forces find themselves on the brink of defeat at Khe Sanh, one of the fiercest battles of the war.

With the approval of the American commander in the Pacific, General Westmoreland had put together a secret operation, code-named Fracture Jaw, that included moving nuclear weapons into South Vietnam so that they could be used on short notice against North Vietnamese troops.

 It should come as no surprise that Edwin M. Stanton sought to manipulate the civilian court trial of John Surratt Jr. I suppose he felt that being Secretary of War gave him certain “prerogatives” not usually available to mere mortals.

Cook Political Report shifts three Senate races toward Republicans

The Cook Political Report, a nonpartisan election handicapper, shifted three Senate races in favor of Republicans as well as one Senate race toward Democrats less than five weeks out from the midterm elections.

Cook moved Senate races in Montana, Nebraska and New Jersey all in favor of Republicans. Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.) faces one of the most competitive race this cycle, which was shifted from "lean Democratic" to "toss-up." Tester is running against state auditor Matt Rosendale (R) in a state where President Trump won by double-digits in 2016.
