Death Throes of the Opposition?

Democrats hire protesters to disrupt Kavanaugh confirmation hearing

Directed Effort to Derail Hearings

Brett Kavanaugh, President Trump’s Supreme Court Justice pick, and others were being hit from every side this week during the confirmation hearings. As it turns out, this was a planned, and coordinated effort–not an organic uprising for truth and freedom, as some would have us believe.

The hearings got off to a very rough start on Tuesday, with Democrats stonewalling and arguing that they didn’t have enough information on Kavanaugh, had been denied documents, and didn’t have enough time to read them. Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) Grassley said the “relevant” documents have been released and noted that many Democrats have already pledged to vote against Kavanaugh’s confirmation. “How much more do you need to know to vote ‘no’?” he asked.

Democrats will not be able to thwart Kavanaugh’s confirmation, but that did not stop them from turning the proceedings into a circus.

• Paid protesters were scattered throughout the chamber, and made so much ruckus, about 70 of them were carted off to jail. One of the loudest was hijab-wearing Linda Sarsour, a champion of Islam, Black Lives Matter, and women’s rights. (The fact that women’s rights and Islam don’t go together seems lost on most people.)
• Three doctors from Texas who attended the hearing say they saw a man holding a fat manilla envelope and handing out wads of cash to protesters. According to Dr. Tom Schlueter, “We heard them say this, ‘when you go in, we want you to yell, to scream, and even possibly to get arrested.’ So that was some of the processes we saw happening…”
• Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) released confidential documents to members of the Senate Judiciary Committee before the hearings started. He knowingly violated the rules, and defiantly responded to Sen. Cornyn’s (R-TX) threat to expel him from the Senate, “Bring it.” The rules were later waived.

Liberals on social media are spreading lies about a GOP staffer named Zina Bash. She was photographed seated behind Kavanaugh with her thumb and forefinger in an “okay” position (see photo). Some claim that is a racist gesture, a “white power” sign. Zina Bash is actually half Jewish and half Hispanic. Her mother is Mexican, her father is Jewish, and her grandparents survived the Holocaust

Senator Diane Feinstein (D-CA) invited the father of a student killed in the Parkland shooting. He attempted to shake Kavanaugh’s hand. Kavanugh didn’t see him, then got whisked away by security. The father now claims Kavanaugh knew who he was but wouldn’t shake his hand.

Why this Matters: The disruptions, stonewalling, protests and theatrics were a coordinated effort directed by Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), which was communicated over the Labor Day weekend via teleconference. This appointment of a Supreme Court Justice was supposed to be Hillary’s, as was the appointment of Neil Gorsuch to replace Antonin Scalia.

The Supreme Court was their great hope to put an end to the Constitution and replace it with a “living” document that they could mold into their own image. Now they are focusing on the upcoming election as one last chance to throw Trump out of office. This means that the Democrats would need to win 48 U.S. House seats and seven U.S. Senate seats, according to Ballotpedia.

Could it happen? Yes, if Christians and conservatives stay home on November 6 and there’s a sudden end to the booming economy, low unemployment numbers, and stock market highs.

Pray for God’s choices to win this November. May He hear and heed our cries for justice! Pray that those who are fighting against the truth will be overcome. Pray that ultimately, the rule of law will be restored and the corrupt will be punished.

Vicious New York Times Op-Ed,
New Book Attack Trump

The New York Times published an opinion-editorial on Wednesday written by an anonymous White House insider. The piece trashed the President, calling him amoral, and suggesting a group of officials working within the administration who believed Trump should be removed from office by invoking the 25th Amendment.

The writer also said,

“I work for the president but like-minded colleagues and I have vowed to thwart parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations.”

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, whom Trump refers to as ‘Pocahontas’ because she claimed to be Native American in order to get preferential hiring but has never proved it, called for Trump’s removal. She cited the NYT op-ed and said the 25th Amendment should be used to take Trump out of office. It would require a 2/3 vote of both the House and the Senate.

Additional destructive words came out in a book just published by Bob Woodward, of Watergate fame. Woodward claimed to have gotten his information from someone inside the White House. He quotes various members of the administration, such as Chief of Staff John Kelly and Defense Secretary Mattis, slamming the President and calling him names.

Mattis, Kelly and others deny the allegations, saying these are pure lies. Mattis responded,

“The contemptuous words about the President attributed to me in Woodward’s book were never uttered by me or in my presence. While I generally enjoy reading fiction, this is a uniquely Washington brand of literature, and his anonymous sources do not lend credibility.”

Kelly responded,

“The idea I ever called the President an idiot is not true, in fact it’s exactly the opposite… this story is total BS… another pathetic attempt to smear people close to President Trump and distract from the administration’s many successes.”

Why this Matters: The President rightly responded to the Times’ op-ed,

“Does this so-called ‘Senior Administration Official’ really exist, or is it just the Failing New York Times with another phony source? If the GUTLESS anonymous person does indeed exist, the Times must, for National Security purposes, turn him/her over to government at once!”

How to Pray: That Americans will not lose heart when they see their President–whom they elected–trashed from multiple sources on a daily basis. Pray for all liars who refuse to repent lose all credibility when they are exposed.

Pr. 10:18 – He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.

Psalm 59:12 – For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak.
