Asked by Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz about why the Judiciary committee is pursuing their investigation, Corey Lewandowski answered by questioning their patriotism.
Here’s what he said:
Gaetz: “So Mr. Lewandowski, do you have a thought why we continue to engage in a charade that is overwhelmingly opposed by the American people and fundamentally misunderstood by my Democrat colleagues?”
Lewandowski: “You know, congressman, I think they hate this president more than they love their country.
Corey didn’t question their patriotism, he impugned it. But he was wrong – Democrats don’t have any love for America. Zero patriotism. Nada, zip, zilch. If you think America is racist and evil and needs to fundamentally change to become a good country then you don’t love America.
If you made it all the way into your forties before you were ever proud of the country of your birth, you don’t love your country.
If you are willing to start a civil war by trying to impeach a duly elected President over less than nothing, you don’t love America. If you are a major news network or a major newspaper and you publish or air calumny and lies about Trump, his administration, his appointments, the GOP, conservatives, and/or white people in general, you don’t love America.
If you see the American flag as a symbol of oppression, you fucking hate America.
There once was a woman who walked regularly from her office in Midtown Manhattan to a hotel across the street in order to use the restroom, and that woman may have been one of us.
That woman had a friend, at another office job, who carried a book of matches and a can of air freshener in her purse — more willing to set off the office fire alarm than leave any hint of odor in a public lavatory.
That friend had another friend, at another office job, who repeatedly forced her body to do the deed so quickly — racing from cubicle to bathroom and back, in an effort to deflect attention from what she might be doing in there — that it led to a semi-serious hemorrhoid problem.
As her former colleague put it: “She was pooping at the speed of pee.”
Remember the children’s book, “Everyone Poops”? It is meant to teach kids that defecating is a natural, healthy part of digestion, and it does so by illustrating a wide variety of creatures — dogs, cats, snakes, whales, hippos, little boys — happily defecating. But you know who you won’t see defecating in that book, happily or unhappily? Women.
We may be living in an age where certain pockets of the corporate world are breathlessly adapting to women’s needs — company-subsidized tampons, salary workshops, lactation rooms. But even in the world’s most progressive workplace, it’s not a stretch to think that you might have an empowered female executive leading a meeting at one moment and then sneaking off to another floor to relieve herself, the next.
Poop shame is real — and it disproportionately affects women, who suffer from higher rates of irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease. In other words, the patriarchy has seeped into women’s intestinal tracts. Let’s call it the pootriarchy.
To defeat the pootriarchy use Poo-pourri!
Girls aren’t born with poo shame — it’s something they’re taught.
In “Psychology in the Bathroom,” the psychologist Nicholas Haslam writes that girls tend to be toilet trained earlier than boys, learning at a young age to neatly keep their bodily functions contained (our words, not his).
When those girls get a bit older, they learn to pass gas silently — while boys do it loudly, and think it’s hilarious. (Yes, there is a kind of Kinsey scale to gas-passing and it goes like this: According to a study called “Fecal Matters” that was published in a journal called “Social Problems,” adult heterosexual men are far more likely to engage in scatological humor than heterosexual women and are more likely to report intentionally passing gas. Gay men are less likely to intentionally pass gas than heterosexual women, and lesbian women are somewhere in between.)
“If a boy farts, everyone laughs, including the boy,” said Sarah Albee, the author of “Poop Happened!: A History of the World from the Bottom Up.” “If a girl farts, she is mortified.”
I always laugh when I fart. That’s why I’m laughing right now.
But girls don’t poop.
I would know. I grew up in a house with one bathroom and I have a mom and a sister. And I was married. Twice. And I have a daughter. None of them pooped. Ever.
On the other hand, I know about poop shame. I also know how filthy most public restrooms are. Plus I once saw a movie where a guy gets killed while sitting on the toilet. That is why I never poop in public restrooms. As a guy, I can use a public restroom to pee without ever touching anything with my hands – just the soles of my shoes. But sit on a public toilet? Not even with a hundred paper ass-gaskets between me and the seat.
I almost started a Tin Foil Tuesday thread, but EVERYTHING is wrapped in tin foil these days. So here’s just a happy sea of red to look at 😀
We are all united by the same love of Country, the same devotion to family, and the same profound faith that America is blessed by the eternal grace of ALMIGHTY GOD!
Bound by these convictions, we will campaign for every vote & we will WIN the Great State of NEW MEXICO in 2020! pic.twitter.com/BV5Wxs5GxE
Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh was hit with another accusation of unwanted sexual contact by a male classmate who said he witnessed Kavanaugh expose himself and press his genitals against a woman without her consent.
The New York Times reported Saturday that the latest allegation, which has until now not been public, was reported to the FBI during Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation process last year but was not investigated by the FBI.
In the Times report, two FBI officials told the newspaper that a Yale classmate of Kavanaugh’s, D.C.-based nonprofit owner Max Stier, said that he had witnessed Kavanaugh expose himself at a party before other students pushed Kavanaugh’s genitals into the hand of a female student, apparently without her consent.
The Hill has reached out to the Supreme Court for comment.
Stier did not speak publicly about the story, according to the Times, but two U.S. officials reportedly corroborated his account to the FBI with the newspaper.
The allegation is the latest to be made public in a list of accusations of unwanted sexual contact or sexual assault that Kavanaugh has faced since he was first nominated to the Supreme Court by President Trump.
Despite a tumultuous confirmation process culminating in emotional testimony from both Kavanaugh and one of his accusers, Christine Blasey Ford, he was eventually confirmed to the court in a narrow Senate vote.
Kavanaugh has denied all of the allegations that he has faced, calling them politically motivated, and declined to answer questions about Stier’s allegations to the Times on Saturday.
The Founding Fathers never intended for the First Amendment to protect people who do crap like this. The Supreme Court added that later.
President Trump is on it:
Now the Radical Left Democrats and their Partner, the LameStream Media, are after Brett Kavanaugh again, talking loudly of their favorite word, impeachment. He is an innocent man who has been treated HORRIBLY. Such lies about him. They want to scare him into turning Liberal!
Brett Kavanaugh should start suing people for liable, or the Justice Department should come to his rescue. The lies being told about him are unbelievable. False Accusations without recrimination. When does it stop? They are trying to influence his opinions. Can’t let that happen!
Democrat Presidential Debate from Texas Southern University
I did not watch Thursday night’s “debate” among Democrats vying for the privilege of being obliterated by Donald J. Trump next November. According to the reports I have seen they spent their time trying to out-crazy each other. But some of the people who did watch noticed that something was missing.
There seemed to be no American flag present up on stage at the Democratic primary debate in Houston, Texas, on Thursday night.
A videographer present at the event at Texas Southern University — as well as many others watching the event on television — could find no sign of Old Glory there up front at the venue.
The national anthem was sung at the beginning of the event (though that was not televised — that part was livestreamed only).
And during the performance of “The Star-Spangled Banner” by Breanna Lindsey, a 20-year-old student at the school, the American flag was visible as she sang.
But where was the American flag on stage for the television audience at home once the debate started?
Democrat elites s have a love-hate relationship with the American Flag. They love getting elected but they hate the flag and everything it stands for. Just ask Colin Kaepernick. But millions of Americans (including many registered Democrats) love Old Glory and they expect their elected leaders to share that love. So Democrat candidates pretend to love the flag in public when they are running for office.
Remember this?
Back in 2007, Barack Obama was way too cool to engage in bushwa displays of patriotism. He stopped wearing the American flag pin on his lapel that he wore during his 2004 Senate campaign. His stance on this issue was greatly loved by the progressive Left that he was seeking the votes of.
Then he became the frontrunner, and his stance began to hurt him with the larger American public, so he started wearing the lapel pin (a new one given him by the VFW) and he placed his hand over his heart during the national anthem. The progressive Left didn’t mind because that’s the kind of thing politicians have to do to get elected (wink, wink.) But it is pretty clear that Obama’s patriotism was situational.
Samuel Johnson famously said, “Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel.” But he wasn’t bashing patriotism, he was bashing the scoundrels who hid behind patriotism when it was convenient. But patriotism is like moral principles – you don’t abandon them when they become inconvenient.
The advert was promoting a new Republican-supporting Pac, New Faces GOP, based in California, which describes itself as helping to identify “the next generation” of GOP leaders.
Elizabeth Heng, of Fresno, California, who lost in a race to be a congresswoman last year, narrates the advert, saying: “Mine is the face of freedom … my skin is not white. I’m not outrageous, or racist, or a socialist. I’m a Republican.”
Ocasio-Cortez hit out at the advert on Twitter, saying: “Republicans are running TV ads setting pictures of me on fire to convince people they aren’t racist. Life is weird!
“Know that this wasn’t an ad for young conservatives of color – that was the pretense. What you just watched was a love letter to the GOP’s white supremacist case.”
Heng responded to Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter.
“Are you really calling me a racist? … I’m calling all Democrats out for supporting an evil ideology. Or are you just in Congress to hang out with celebrities and tweet out ridiculous ideas like the green new deal?”
ABC faced criticism for allowing the advert to run.
Bend the Arc, a national Jewish organization, said: “This is right out of the white nationalist playbook. No news network should be profiting off such hatred.”
Johnny could only sing one note and the note he sang was this: “RACIST!”

The Democratic party developed an elaborate, multi-year operation in the 1990s that deployed thousands of activists to covertly mold public opinion using talk radio, according to documents from the Clinton Presidential Library.
The Democratic National Committee (DNC), with the blessing of the Clinton White House, launched the Talk Radio Initiative (TRI) ahead of the 1996 campaign. The program trained thousands of operatives to call in to radio shows, conduct surveillance of their contents, and secretly disseminate Democratic talking points while posing as ordinary listeners.
“Volunteers must be able to keep the project confidential so as not to create the image of a ‘Democratic conspiracy’ to infiltrate Detroit area talk radio shows,” a 1995 TRI guide prepared by Michigan Democrats said. “Democratic performance in the 1996 elections will no doubt be affected by the success or failure of this initiative.”
Radio show hosts long suspected that someone was training so-called “seminar callers” to inundate their shows with sympathetic callers. Lars Larson, a host in the Pacific Northwest since the mid-1990s, recalled being on the receiving end of many such calls, but was not aware that many may have been trained by the DNC.
“You would get calls, an hour apart, from different people with different voices and different names, but they would talk the same lines. So close that you knew that this was not a coincidence,” Larson said. “It was the same language on the same subject and the same arguments.”
One of the things I noticed during the 2008 primaries and the general election was that pro-Obama talking points would appear simultaneously in comments across social media using nearly identical language. I first noticed it when Obama gave his Greatest Speech on Race EVER (the one where he threw his grandma under the bus while affirming his close relationship with Rev. Jeremiah Wright) when I noticed two different people commenting on two different blogs who both claimed to have been moved to tears just from reading a transcript of the speech. Later, I found a third one saying the same thing.
Not long after that I became a moderator at TC and I was able to see more evidence of coordination in the comments made by trolls. What has been seen cannot be unseen. Once I became aware of what was happening it became more and more obvious. Sometimes they worked in teams.
When John McCain (MHBIH) announced that he had chosen Sarah Palin as his running mate it caught the Obama campaign completely by surprise. The Obama trolls were uncharacteristically silent for nearly an hour, then all at once, they were singing in unison about a small-town mayor who lacked the experience to be POTUS. The Obama campaign obviously didn’t have any official talking points about Sarah Palin so the trolls didn’t know what to say at first.
All the stuff the Democrats accuse the Russians of doing in the last election is what the Democrats have been doing for years. That’s what makes this part ironic:
Bua credited then-first lady Hillary Clinton with coming up with the initiative, while he was hosting a TRI seminar for feminists at the 1996 convention, according to a National Review dispatch. Clinton’s approach to private actors manipulating public opinion through popular media has changed in the wake of the 2016 election. She has since claimed that “misinformation” by “domestic actors” on social media helped lead to her surprise loss to President Donald Trump.
“The big social media platforms know their systems are being manipulated by foreign and domestic actors to sow division, promote extremism and spread misinformation,” Hillary said at a June commencement address.
Democrats hate it when you beat them at their own game.
