Attorney Michael Avenatti and his client Julie Swetnick have been referred to the Justice Department for criminal investigation for a "potential conspiracy to provide materially false statements to Congress and obstruct a congressional committee investigation, three separate crimes, in the course of considering Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court of the United States," according to a statement released by the Judiciary Committee.

I wonder if this referral will go into the Deep State Black hole never to be heard about again like Benghazi, Uranium 1, Hillary's email, Haiti, Fast and Furious, the Clinton-pay-for-play foundation and so much other criminality.
[Rush] I switched over to CNN, and I caught the governor of Ohio there, John Kasich, and he is being interviewed by... I don’t know who the reporter was at CNN. Doesn’t matter. Being interested by the caravan and America and how to deal with it. I just want you to hear this. We have two bites. Here’s No. 1.
KASICH: We have a caravan coming north. We don’t want all those people coming across our border. And there are ways to deal with it. I believe that if we would check those who are legitimately in need of asylum could be vetted before they even get to the border. But, you know what? We’re born in America. You know how lucky we are to be born in America and not be born in Guatemala, where they would say to your daughter, you know, if you don’t do what we want, we will rape your daughter or we will kill your son if he’s not a drug mule? Now, they’re marching north. And, you know what? It could easily have been all of us, that we’re in the caravan, that we’re marching north, trying to save our families and save our children.
RUSH: All right. So what is... The ruse here, or the technique here, is moral equivalence. There but for the grace of God go I. Phil Donahue used to do this all the time, Phil Donahue would host his show and when the subject of illegal immigration would come up, he’d start preaching about the accident of his birth. "You know, I was born just a few miles inside the U.S. border, and look at the difference it’s made for me."
And he started extolling the guilt that he felt over how the accident of his birth resulted in him being an American and how basically unfair that was to other people in the world. As though being born into a country of prosperity and decency is something to feel guilty about. And it may be something to feel very grateful for. I have no quarrel with that. But it’s how you deal with this that matters. We simply can’t take in everybody in the world.

For God sakes man, there could be 1 or 2 future postmen in that mob.

Survivor's guilt pushed on the rest of us?
OK, take in everyone born into a bad situation in another country. Where would that leave the US? It would be the same here as everywhere else, and there would be no chance whatsoever for a better future for anyone.
#3
Being a wealthy American wracked with guilt, it is possible for Kasich to go to the third world and help promote capitalism and the kind of institutions that lead to a wealthy country.
Simply teaching nations to model their politics and economics on success and not failure would be a start. Latin America should look to Chile which has become a first world country now (or damned close to it) while their neighbors languish in the same old poverty that results from communist thinking.
#4
From what Kasich is saying we should train an army of asylum seekers and other volunteers to overthrow the Guatamala/El Salvador/Nicaragua govts that are causing refugees in the first place.
The refugees coming in are lucky ones. Dont those in the caravan care about the poor saps they left back in Central America?

It's easy to reply to Phil Donahue's argument or John Kasich's argument. Imagine you are on a lifeboat after a the Titanic sank. There are thousands of people in the water all clamoring to get onto the boat. But the boat can only carry so many people before it becomes unstable and sinks just like the Titanic. Who benefits from that?
Then imagine the United States as a Third World socialist shit hole just like the countries from which these invaders are coming. Who benefits from that?

[American Thinker] Barf alert! Judging by this article in the Chicago Tribune, there must be serious worries that the planned giveaway (a 99 year lease at 10 cents a year) of 19.3 acres of precious, irreplaceable lakefront Chicago park land to a private monument to former President Trump Obama is in trouble. Starting with a picture of a pensive-looking black woman in shadows ‐ worth a look here ‐ the piece pulls out all the victimization stops, claiming, " anxiousness ... has swept over some residents and communities on the South Side as they brace for a possible long wait, a bitter fight or even another grand disappointment."
The article by Lolly Bowean and Jeff Coen features residents who regard the "Obama Presidential Center" as an unalloyed benefit to the poor communities that are nearby ‐ "a new historical treasure to [the] already culturally rich African-American community.
Gee, if the community is "already culturally rich," why does it need another cultural monument? Oh, that's right: "jobs and investment."

Think how many 'free clinic/urgent care' centers and 'food desert' oases on the south side and employment this empty towering edifice effort could fund instead.
[Red State] "Republican" John Kasich never met a Democrat position he didn’t like and immigration is no exception.
The son of a mailman was on CNN to talk about Trump and Trump things and Trump’s rhetoric and Trump danger and Trump being mean. The subject soon shifted to Trump and migrants. Kasich took the opportunity to speak for God and remind America that Trump is awful and God would want us to let in the group on over 10,000 currently headed towards our southern border.
The video is a little wonky but you don’t need to see Kasich clearly in order to understand his muddled message.

This prick is an embarrassment to Ohio.
He couldn't win election to a dog catcher.
He is interviewing for CNN or MSNBC.
I wish him the worst.
Go to hell you POS.

So now you corrupted THE LORD and the BIBLE with your narrative?
You and the rest of your democrat friends need to stop quoting Scripture from the BIBLE Immediately.
You are the idiot government money changers in the Temple.
Abortion and illegal felons to you are a sacrilege.

Gee John, as I read it, when God's Children became corrupted by the world, Israel lost its borders. How'd that work out for the people for the next couple thousand years?

Hope he runs again so he can see how much Americans hate him

Notice how Kasich tilts his head and breaks eye contact while speaking?
And how he uses his hands awkwardly? The guy has issues. Not his fault, but he has issues. Doesn't need to be where he is in my opinion, but his constituency thinks otherwise. Oh well.

In my eyes support fo the migrant caravan disqualifies one for elected office. I woldn't vote for Kasich to be dog catcher if he has so little respect for US citizens, for the laws of the land, and for the legal immigrants that followed those laws.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
