They say it’s official, that Kyrsten Sinema is Arizona’s new senator-elect, in the US Senate until 2024.

Think about it.

In an election year when this election had all the smell and taste of a heist-in-the-making, as I’d been warning for several months, August thru last week, it only seemed natural to assume that Democratic Party skullduggery would be involved.

Florida was a no-brainer, since, even under GOP election control, the same old mobsters are still controlling voter-counting in Florida’s south side like Capone did the whiskey business in Chicago’s South Side.

But there’s also Georgia, Montana, Wisconsin, and even several shoulda-been-winners in Virginia are waking up to find anomalies in the vote count, some of only a few thousand votes, that might have kept their district red.

So the Mob connection is still my theory about Arizona.

But conservative friends in Arizona argue to the contrary. Rush Limbaugh theorizes that Sinema won because conservatives, whose candidate, Dr Kelli Ward, lost to the moderate Martha McSally in the primary, just decided to not vote the “Senate” part of the ballot, so that every other GOP statewide candidate recieved approximately 260,000 more votes than McSally, and enough to beat Sinema. I’m told that over 350,000 in Maricopa County alone, a Republican stronghold, vote for the GOP governor, but were silent on the Senate race.

Hard to believe, but yes, plausible. Vanity and teat-fittery the likely culprits. If true[…]

Declaration of Conscience II: Once again a female Senator from Maine offers a fracturing Senate and nation a chance to step back from the abyss

Declaration of Conscience, Kavanaugh confirmation vote, McCarthyism, search and destroy mission, Senator Margaret Chase Smith, Senator Susan Collins, U S Senate

Republican Senator Susan Collins is under attack due to her “yes” vote that put Judge Brett Kavanaugh over the final lap toward becoming the next Supreme Court Justice. on Saturday  Collins’ speech which spoke to the rule of law, advise and consent touched on many issues leading up to the moment was not only compelling but historic.

If she is not remembered for anything else, Collins will be remembered for her performance on the floor of the U. S. Senate prior to the final vote confirming now Supreme Court Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh.

Unified Patriots by Civil Truth

Sixty-eight years ago, on June 1, 1950, in a nation tearing itself apart over the Joseph McCarthy accusations regarding Communist infiltration of our government, the Senate’s first female senator, Margaret Chase Smith of Maine, rose to deliver an historic speech on the Senate floor, a speech that has become know as A Declaration of Conscience.

In this speech, as reviewed on the official U.S. Senate web site, Mrs. Smith was one of the first senators to challenge the process by which Joe McCarthy was damaging the fabric of the Senate, and consequently our nation.

Four months earlier, McCarthy had rocketed to national attention. In a well-publicized speech in Wheeling, West Virginia, he claimed to possess the names of 205 card-carrying communists in the State Department. Smith, like many of her colleagues, shared McCarthy’s concerns about communist subversion, but she grew skeptical when he repeatedly ignored her requests for evidence to back-up his accusations. “It was then,” she recalled, “that I began to wonder about the validity… and fairness of Joseph McCarthy’s charges.”

At first, Smith hesitated to speak. “I was a freshman Senator,” she explained, “and in those days, freshman Senators were to be seen and not heard.” She hoped a senior member would take the lead. “This great psychological fear…spread to the Senate,” she noted, “where a considerable amount of mental paralysis and muteness set in for fear of offending McCarthy.” As the weeks passed, Smith grew increasingly angry with McCarthy’s attacks and his defamation of individuals she considered above suspicion. Bowing to Senate rules on comity, Smith chose not to attack McCarthy, but to denounce the tactics that were becoming known as “McCarthyism.”

“Mr. President,” she began, “I would like to speak briefly and simply about a serious national condition…. The United States Senate has long enjoyed worldwide respect as the greatest deliberative body…. But recently that deliberative character has…been debased to…a forum of hate and character assassination”[…]

Just moments ago, Senator Susan Collins (R-ME)  during a 45 minute speech on the floor of the U. S. Senate announced her intention to vote “Yes” for Judge Brett Kavanaugh.

One’s opinion of Susan Collins’ speech would, of course, depends on whether one is pro or anti Brett Kavanaugh.

Starting with the moment that President Donald J. Trump nominated Judge Brett Kavanaugh, Susan Collins methodically took us back step by step through the events that unfolded by those who plotted against Kavanaugh, the allegations levied against Brett Kavanaugh including attempts to deny the judge his right to due process, upending the rule of law , etc. leading up to her decision to vote “yes” vote on Brett Kavanaugh becoming the next Supreme Court Justice.

Love or hate Susan Collins, it was a good speech.

Immediately after Susan Collins completed her speech, Senator Joe Manchin (D-W. Va.) announced that he is a “Yes” to confirm Judge Kavanaugh, starting with a tweet containing his press release.

As a result, the usual suspects are in meltdown mode across social media, in the halls of Congress and wherever else there is a gathering of three or more Communists crying in their corn flakes.

At this point in our nation’s history, it is the Senate itself that is now on trial before the world

With the latest skullduggery once again embroiling the Kavanaugh nomination in turmoil, it’s easy to become distracted from recognition that the events to date have now put the Senate itself at center stage as to whether it will act in its constitutional role as a defender of the bedrock values on which our nation was established as a representative democracy upholding the rule of law and individual liberty, or whether it has abandoned its own order and adherence to its own rules that enable the Senate to operate, by allowing its immense powers to be employed arbitrarily without accountability to destroy individual citizens heedless of the norms of civilized society.

What we have seen to date since Brett Kavanaugh was first nominated has been an accelerating series of violation of all Senate order and procedures designed to protect the rights of all, between the immediate rush to oppose, demands for unprecedented amounts of documents and undue delay, hearings that violated norms of decorum and an orderly hearing process.

These actions have fundamentally transformed the minority’s constitutional privilege to provide Advice and Consent into “Crucify, Crucify”[…]

Republican Senators Bill Cassidy (LA), David Perdue (GA), Jim Inhofe (OK), Mike Lee (Utah), Ted Cruz (TX) and Thom Tillis (NC)  sent a letter to Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson asking for an investigation into the funneling of U. S. taxpayer dollars by Barack Obama’s State Department to Communist organizations connected to George Soros that would push a globalist agenda, sway elections and the “media environment” of foreign nations, i.e., Macedonia, Albania, Latin America, and Africa.

Washington Free Beacon by Adam Kredo

A group of leading senators is calling on newly installed Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to immediately launch an investigation into efforts by the Obama administration to sway foreign elections by sending taxpayer funds to “extreme and sometimes violent political activists” that promote leftist causes, according to a copy of the letter….

Political leaders from a range of nations spent months informing the lawmakers about these activities.

“Over the past few months, elected officials and political leaders of foreign nations have been coming to me with disappointing news and reports of U.S. activity in their respective countries,” Lee said in a statement. “This includes reports of diplomats playing political favorites, USAID funds supporting extreme and sometimes violent political activists, and the U.S. government working to marginalize the moderates and conservatives in leadership roles.”

“This sort of political favoritism from our missions around the world is unacceptable and endangers our bilateral relationships,” he said[…]

Barack Obama dangled the Marxism and taxpayer dollars as a carrot over the heads of nations, the end game of which is destabilization.

See Washington Times article, Soros working his mischief again in Macedonia power fight:

…The latest sovereign country where the U.S. ambassador has overstepped his bounds to assist the left’s agenda is Macedonia, where conservatives are in a death match against what is now called the “Soros Army” in the struggle to put together a new government. The results of a win by allies of Mr. Soros, the billionaire patron of leftist causes in the U.S. and around the world, would be an influx of unchecked Islamic immigration, along with all of the other “progressive” policies of the Dark Emperor Soros and his Sith Lord, Barack Obama….
