Democrats have already threatened to investigate — or even try to impeach — Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh should they retake control of the House after November’s midterm elections.
On Sunday, South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham (R) responded to the news by throwing down a challenge to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.). . .
At first, when asked about the threat, made primarily by Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) who is the ranking member on the House Judiciary Committee, Graham vowed to campaign against his congressional colleagues in the run up to November’s elections, something he said he’s never done before.
“I’ve never campaigned against a colleague in my life. That’s about to change. I’m gonna go throughout this country and let people in these, you know, purple states, red states where Trump won know what I think about this process,” Graham said on “Fox News Sunday.” . . .
“Here’s my point. This is a list that was compiled in November, but [Trump] actually put it out during the campaign. There are 20-something people on this list. I’m asking Chuck Schumer: name five, name three, name one that would be okay with you,” Graham said.

By The Blaze. Nadia Murad was living a quiet life in Northern Iraq in 2014 when an unimaginable terror suddenly took it all away. ISIS jihadists kidnapped Murad and forced her into sex trafficking.
Murad, now 25, was recently awarded the 2018 Noble Peace Prize jointly with Congolese gynecologist Denis Mukwege. He is also an activist against sexual violence and specializes in treating women who were raped by rebel forces. Murad received the award for her activism against sex trafficking. . .
Following her year-and-a-half ordeal as a sex trafficking victim, Murad was able to escape while she was being transported out of Iraq. In early 2015, she went to Germany seeking refuge. A few months later, Murad began campaigning to raise awareness about human trafficking, the Guardian reported.
Speaking before a United Nations panel, Murad explained the part of the levity of what she witnessed:
“…the children who died of dehydration fleeing Isis, the families still stranded on the mountain, the thousands of women and children who remained in captivity, and what my brothers saw at the site of the massacre. I was only one of hundreds of thousands of Yazidi victims.”

Nobel Peace Prize: I Was an ISIS Sex Slave. I Tell My Story Because It Is the Best Weapon I Have
By The Guardian. The slave market opened at night. We could hear the commotion downstairs where militants were registering and organising, and when the first man entered the room, all the girls started screaming. It was like the scene of an explosion. We moaned as though wounded, doubling over and vomiting on the floor, but none of it stopped the militants. They paced around the room, staring at us, while we screamed and begged. They gravitated toward the most beautiful girls first, asking, “How old are you?” and examining their hair and mouths. “They are virgins, right?” they asked a guard, who nodded and said, “Of course!” like a shopkeeper taking pride in his product. Now the militants touched us anywhere they wanted, running their hands over our breasts and our legs, as if we were animals. . .
“Calm down!” militants kept shouting at us. “Be quiet!” But their orders only made us scream louder. If it was inevitable that a militant would take me, I wouldn’t make it easy for him. I howled and screamed, slapping away hands that reached out to grope me. Other girls were doing the same, curling their bodies into balls on the floor or throwing themselves across their sisters and friends to try to protect them.
While I lay there, another militant stopped in front of us. He was a high-ranking militant named Salwan who had come with another girl, another young Yazidi from Hardan, who he planned to drop off at the house while he shopped for her replacement. “Stand up,” he said. When I didn’t, he kicked me. “You! The girl with the pink jacket! I said, stand up!” . . .
Attacking Sinjar [in northern Iraq] and taking girls to use as sex slaves wasn’t a spontaneous decision made on the battlefield by a greedy soldier. Islamic State planned it all: how they would come into our homes, what made a girl more or less valuable, which militants deserved a sabaya [sex slave] as incentive and which should pay. They even discussed sabaya in their glossy propaganda magazine, Dabiq, in an attempt to draw new recruits. But Isis is not as original as its members think it is. Rape has been used throughout history as a weapon of war. I never thought I would have something in common with women in Rwanda – before all this, I didn’t know that a country called Rwanda existed – and now I am linked to them in the worst possible way, as a victim of a war crime that is so hard to talk about that no one in the world was prosecuted for committing it until just 16 years before Isis came to Sinjar.

Doctors told an expectant mom that her son had spina bifida and might never walk. But thanks to his parents’ love and prenatal surgery, adorable toddler Roman Dinkel has become an internet walking sensation.
A video of Roman taking some of his first steps, with the aid of tiny crutches, has gone viral, seen millions of times. Last month the toddler appeared on “Good Morning America” with his mom Whitney, dad Adam, and the family puppy, Maggie. Maggie appears in the eight-second clip, as Roman squeaks, “Look, Maggie! I’m walking!” . . .
Roman was diagnosed with spina bifida, a congenital defect of the spine in which the spinal cord is left exposed through a gap in the backbone, when he was 20 weeks in the womb. His father Adam said on “Good Morning America” that the first option doctors give parents of unborn babies diagnosed with spina bifida is “termination.” But the Dinkels do not believe in it.
“I would never judge a person for making that decision,” mom Whitney told LifeSiteNews. “It is obviously not what we believe. But often times doctors paint a very grim picture of what the life of a child with spina bifida will look like. They say [he’ll have] severe brain damage, will be paralyzed, in pain their whole life, and they make you believe that you will bring them into this world suffering until they die. But those things just aren’t true. That’s outdated information.”
Adam and Whitney decided that the best thing they could do for their son was to have doctors operate on his spine before he was born. (Read more from “Watch: Baby With Spina Bifida Who Had Surgery Before Birth Now Able to Walk” HERE)

Protesters increased in their aggressive demonstrations on Capitol Hill after Senator Susan Collins (R-Mass.) pushed the Kavanaugh confirmation over the top Friday.
Several instances of the aggressive tactics by angry and frustrated protesters were caught on video and shared on social media.
Protesters drowned out Senator Joe Manchin (D-W.V.) while he was trying to speak to reporters with chants of “shame on you! Shame on you! Shame on you!” Manchin was the only Democrat to indicate that he would vote positively to confirm Kavanaugh. . .

“This is what the U.S. Capitol was like today as I walked to the Senate floor for the vote on Judge Kavanaugh,” Kennedy tweeted.
Many demonstrators were targeting Senator Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), who had asked for the Kavanaugh vote to be postponed in order to allow for an FBI investigation.

By The Blaze. Louisiana man Michael Auttonberry called the police Wednesday to report that he’d been attacked with an axe and had been stabbed in the head. . .
When police arrived at Auttonberry’s home, they likely expected to come face-to-face with a grisly scene. Instead, they met an irritated Auttonberry, who had been neither attacked with an axe nor stabbed in the head.
In fact, police couldn’t even find any intruders in the West Monroe man’s home, despite Auttonberry swearing at people who, according to police were “obviously not there.”
They did, however, find a bag of meth on Auttonberry’s nightstand and a gram of meth on Auttonberry’s person. (Read more from “Man Calls Cops, Says He Was Attacked With Axe — Things Get More Bizarre When Cops Show up at Scene” HERE)
OPSO: Man Says Ghost Planted Meth on Him After He Was Attacked With Axe
By KNOE 8. Authorities say they arrested a Ouachita Parish man on drug and false reporting charges after he told them quite a story – possibly involving a ghost.
The Ouachita Parish Sheriff’s Office says they responded to a home on Lynette Drive in the West Monroe area after getting a call from a man who said he had been attacked with an axe. The man claimed someone “stabbed” him in the head with the bladed weapon.
When deputies arrived, they found the caller, Michael L. Auttenberry, at his front door cursing at people who were “obviously not there”. Deputies say the man was not calm and cursing at them too, so they placed him in handcuffs for their safety. Upon looking Auttenberry over, they say, they found no indication that he had actually been hit in the head with an axe.

The existence of a monthly journal focused on “feminist geography” is a sign of something gone awry in academia. The journal in question—Gender, Place & Culture—published a paper online in May whose author claimed to have spent a year observing canine sexual misconduct in Portland, Ore., parks.
The author admits that “my own anthropocentric frame” makes it difficult to judge animal consent. Still, the paper claims dog parks are “petri dishes for canine ‘rape culture’ ” and issues “a call for awareness into the different ways dogs are treated on the basis of their gender and queering behaviors, and the chronic and perennial rape emergency dog parks pose to female dogs.”
The paper was ridiculous enough to pique my interest—and rouse my skepticism, which grew in July with a report in Campus Reform by Toni Airaksinen. Author Helen Wilson had claimed to have a doctorate in feminist studies, but “none of the institutions that offers such a degree could confirm that she had graduated from their program,” Ms. Airaksinen wrote. In August Gender, Place & Culture issued an “expression of concern” admitting it couldn’t verify Ms. Wilson’s identity, though it kept the paper on its website.
All of this prompted me to ask my own questions. My email to “Helen Wilson” was answered by James Lindsay, a math doctorate and one of the real co-authors of the dog-park study. Gender, Place & Culture had been duped, he admitted. So had half a dozen other prominent journals that accepted fake papers by Mr. Lindsay and his collaborators—Peter Boghossian, an assistant professor of philosophy at Portland State University, and Helen Pluckrose, a London-based scholar of English literature and history and editor of AreoMagazine.com.
The three academics call themselves “left-leaning liberals.” Yet they’re dismayed by what they describe as a “grievance studies” takeover of academia, especially its encroachment into the sciences. “I think that certain aspects of knowledge production in the United States have been corrupted,” Mr. Boghossian says. Anyone who questions research on identity, privilege and oppression risks accusations of bigotry. (Read more from “Fake News Comes to Academia” HERE)

Hollywood knows that sex sells. That’s why several celebrities have teamed up with Parkland survivors in the March for Our Lives movement to motivate people to register to vote in a new ad titled “My First Time.”
The ad features notable celebrities including Scarlett Johansson, Chadwick Boseman, Don Cheadle, Chris Evans, and Zoë Kravitz using sexual innuendo to describe their first time voting. Johansson talks about being “nervous.” Cheadle says his “first time” was in a church. Evans explains his “first time with woman was in 2016.” Mark Ruffalo says he didn’t know “where to put it,” and Boseman adds, “You know, where to slide it in.” They’re all talking about voting, obviously.
The Parkland activists Emma González and David Hogg appear in the video, clarifying that they have the numbers and the power to vote and, presumably, knock Second Amendment-defending Republicans out of office to enact sweeping gun control legislation.
One student says he was so excited when he voted for the first time that he “elected all over the place.” Gross.
If this sexually themed ad rings a bell, it’s likely because you’re dredging up the repressed memory from that time “Girls” star Lena Dunham made voting for Obama a double entendre for losing her virginity.
Flashback to 2012:
Making voting sexual was creepy then, and it’s still creepy now. (For more from the author of “Hollywood, Parkland Activists Unite for Sexually Explicit Get out the Vote Effort” please click HERE)

Democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez showed her extreme lack of knowledge about the basic roles of the three branches of the federal government during a speech on Monday, suggesting that after she is “inaugurated” into office that she will begin signing bills into law.
“After being spurned over, and over, and over again, short-changed on healthcare, short-changed on criminal justice, short-changed on education, there’s a lot of folks who don’t want to believe anymore,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “And that’s why what we have accomplished is such an immense responsibility. It is a responsibility.”
“It doesn’t mean you get everything tomorrow,” Ocasio-Cortez rambled. “As much as I would love that. I would love to get inaugurated January 3rd [and on] January 4th we’re signing healthcare, we’re signing this…”

Kanye West, who recently changed his name to “Ye,” showed up to “Saturday Night Live” this weekend with a Make America Great Again hat. It was a preview of what was to come.
Ye performed three songs, “I Love It” and “K.T.S.E.,” and “Ghost Town,” before grabbing the mic once more at the end of the show and telling the audience about his love for President Trump. His speech did not make it on to the television broadcast, but some viewers found it online. . .
“So many times I talk to a white person and [they] say, ‘How could you like Trump, he’s racist?’ Well, if I was concerned about racism I would have moved out of America a long time ago,” West said. . .
Kanye went on to bash the Democrats who he says take “fathers out the home and promote welfare.” As you can see above, it made the cast pretty uncomfortable. Other social media users who had been following Chris Rock’s Instagram found the comedian laughing at West throughout the speech.
Kanye West is one of the bravest man in Hollywood right now. He was booed off stage last night for openly supporting Trump and telling the truth about the Democrats breaking down black families.
West first revealed his love for Trump in April on Twitter. He called the president his brother and tweeted a picture of him of wearing a MAGA hat. It angered plenty of people in Hollywood, but the artist did not back down, even when pressed by late night host Jimmy Kimmel.

By The Blaze. Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake (R) twice rattled feathers Friday: Once when he announced he would vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, then again after he called for a week delay of Kavanaugh’s confirmation to allow for an FBI investigation of allegations of sexual misconduct.
But Flake went viral for a third, separate reason: When a sexual assault survivor confronted him as he entered an elevator.
“You’re telling all women that they don’t matter. Look at me when I’m talking to you!” the woman shouted as news cameras captured the encounter. “You’re telling me that my assault doesn’t matter.”

Elizabeth Jones, a Flake spokeswoman, said the Arizona lawmaker never considered pressing charges against the protesters.
“Sen. Flake is not pressing charges, nor did he ever consider pressing charges,” she said, according to USA Today. (Read more from “Leftist Group Claims Jeff Flake Is Suing Sexual Assault Survivors. but Here’s the Truth.” HERE)

Kavanaugh Sounded Like He Was ‘Wrongly Accused’ at Hearing, Flake Says
By Fox News. Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., said Sunday that Brett Kavanaugh’s fiery opening statement at Thursday’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing made him sound like a man who had been “wrongly accused” of sexual misconduct.
However, Flake also told CBS News’ “60 Minutes” that some of Kavanaugh’s exchanges with Democratic members of the committee were “a little too sharp.”
Flake was one of six members of the judiciary committee who appeared on “60 Minutes” Sunday, along with Sens. Chris Coons, D-Del.; Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii; Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I.; Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.; and John Kennedy, R-La. They spoke three days after Kavanaugh and one of his accusers, Christine Blasey Ford, gave conflicting accounts about Ford’s claim that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her during a party while they were in high school outside Washington D.C., in the early 1980s.
At one point, an emotional Kavanaugh called the confirmation process “a national disgrace” and said the furor had “destroyed my family and my good name.”
“When I heard him, I heard someone who I hope I would sound like, if I had been unjustly accused,” Flake said. “If I was unjustly accused, that’s how I would feel, as well.” (Read more from “Kavanaugh Sounded Like He Was ‘Wrongly Accused’ at Hearing, Flake Says” HERE)
