Last night the management of Fiola, a D.C. restaurant near the Capitol on Pennsylvania Ave., NW, permitted a screaming anti-Kavanaugh mob to seize control of its space, driving Sen and Mrs. Ted Cruz from their table and out a restaurant side door.
The restaurant might as well hang a sign in the window, Only Antifa-Approved Diners Welcome. (NOTE: Fiola has since released a statement saying that after staff "diffused the situation," Sen and Mrs. Cruz soon returned to the restaurant to resume their "exceptional" meal.)
What I wanted to point out, however, was the similarity between Debbie Ramirez's "Code of Ethics" (discussed here) and the triumphant...

Now at The Epoch Times
Amid The New Yorker's coaxed and uncorroborated smears of Judge Kavanaugh by Yale classmate Debbie Ramirez, hidden clues to Ramirez's ideological identity appear:
Ramirez is a registered Democrat, but said that her decision to speak out was not politically motivated and, regarding her views, that she “works toward human rights, social justice, and social change.”
... Ramirez said that she hoped her story would support that of Christine Blasey Ford.
First, it is a testament to the tragic state of a Yale education that a graduate would emit such cant to describe her "views"; however, it is also revelatory of an animus so all-consuming that it is almost possible Ramirez doesn't believe herself to be "politically...

A Twitter thread.
The new mantra that we must take Christine Ford and her hazy (drunken?) high school memory of being mauled at a teen house party in early 1980s "seriously" is like something we might have to chant in Mao's re-education camps.
As we now know, Ford came to lawmakers & media in JULY -- ample time to address claims -- but her toxic charges was deployed in 11th hour ambush instead. This is not a "serious" claim. This is political warfare.
Ford offered none of the anchoring details that differentiate a charge from a smear. We are supposed to take "seriously" what amounts to social media graffiti -- no chronology, no place, no time, no memory of how she got there, no contemporaneous witnesses to her distress.
Correction: she offered 1 detail...

James O'Keefe's new and unfolding Deep State series has already revealed that self-identifying "Communists" are still boring from within the US government to destroy it, all the while enjoying the privilege of a federal job, including good salary and generous benefits paid for by We, the Taxpayers.
Such covert, tax-payer-funded Communist networks reached critical mass in the Roosevelt administration of the 1930s. As some readers know, the catastrophic "policy perversion" that Communists, pro-Communists, fellow travelers, dupes, and, of course, Kremlin...

On August 30, 2018, as James O'Keefe of Project Veritas was undoubtedly putting finishing touches on his latest undercover series on the the Deep State, he tweeted this image.
Note the book next to Andrew Breitbart.
Makes sense, but I'm happy to see it for several reasons. First, American Betrayal is a history of the Deep State: the traitors who set it up; how they did it; who enabled and still enable them; the patriots who fought back and tried to drain the Swamp the first time around, especially following World War II; and how, ultimately, the Deep State destroyed these patriots along with our counterintelligence capacity to detect domestic subversion.

Google 2.0
--
The Intercept reports on an American math professor turned senior Google research scientist, Jack Poulson, who has resigned over a Google project to develop a search app for Android use in Communist China. This search app is "designed to remove content that China’s authoritarian government views as sensitive, such as information about political dissidents, free speech, democracy, human rights, and peaceful protest."
Might as well throw in floodlights for the Gulag while they're at it -- oh, wait, we already did that.
Poulson said no to Google, shining a floodlight of his own on Google's stark moral depravity. His story is here. Five...

I, myself, had one unlikely brush with Bob Woodward. It happened in the early spring of 2013, when, while squiring my Danish friend and then-editor Lars Hedegaard around town on a visit of his to D.C., I found myself sitting across a Washington dinner table from Woodward.
Recently, Lars had miraculously survived an assassination attempt outside his home in a suburb of Copenhagen and was enjoying, if that's the word, an intense burst of interest in his affairs in new quarters. In some cases, I couldn't decide whether the interest was genuine or rubber-necking.
The dinner Lars was invited to was at Michael and Barbara Ledeen's house. I had met Michael before but did not know the other guests, and was simply there as Lars' companion. When the party...

In 2012, Politico, of all outlets, listed six big disputed reports from Bob Woodward.
(1) The potted plant to signal "Deep Throat"
(2) CIA Director William Casey's deathbed scene
(3) Tenet's WMD "slam dunk" quote
(4) Justice Brennan voting against conscience to curry favor
(5) Reagan recovery scene
(6) John Belushi portrayal in "Wired"
Catch up on them here.
What made these examples of disputed Woodward reporting newsworthy was the stunning 2012 revelation in New York Magazine, as Politico put it, that "legendary Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee once expressed `fear in my soul' that Bob Woodward had embellished elements of his reporting in the Watergate scandal."
Leaving readers mouths agape, Politico...
