Believe All Alibis!

The Burkman/Wohl stage show missing their Mueller accuser met or exceeded the clown show expectations.

However, it is interesting to see the complete suspension of critical thinking once the media has picked a side:

Without an in-person accuser, Wohl and Burkman instead offered a signed affidavit from her that claimed Mueller raped her in a New York hotel room on Aug. 2, 2010.

No other evidence was given, aside from a print-out Wohl had distributed that noted Mueller had been in New York on Aug. 5, 2010. Left unsaid: That was three days after the alleged attack.

Additionally, they accused Mueller’s team of “leaking” a Washington Post story that undermined their tale. The report showed Mueller was in Washington on Aug. 2 serving a jury duty summons.

Oh, gotcha! The trip from Washington to New York takes, hmm, not days. Hours, actually. And jury duty for the head of the FBI? He'll be dismissed in five minutes, won't he?

Well, yes he will, per the story cited:

Robert Mueller dutifully doing his jury duty in D.C. Superior Court on Monday. The FBI director (with an ear-pieced security guy in tow) made it all the way into the jury box for voir dire on a gun-possession case and got a warm smile from the judge ... but he was quickly excused (the "work in law enforcement?" question seemed to do it).

Obviously that doesn't prove Mueller was in New York but being in DC in the morning hardly proves he was not in NYC that evening.

Well. The accuser was named but did a no-show. Has she been approached for her story?

Disbelieve all women!

MORE: A comprehensive and convincing Burkman/Wohl basher from John McCormack of TWS. But he mentions the "problematic" jury duty point second, after the no-show witness."

I try to imagine the conversation that went on before those folks decided that stripping was going to be a real vote getter. Three are some men around with ballots over there balls too, but how intellectually schizo do progressives have to be to beat the #metoo drums, then take off all their clothes and shout Grab 'em by the ballot? I simply do not get the weird "girl thing" these women have got going on. What message is all that skin supposed to be sending?

Over 270 Migrant Caravan Members Have Confirmed Criminal Histories

The criminal histories were confirmed by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

“Those include a number of violent criminals—examples include aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, armed robbery, sexual assault on a child, and assault on a female,” the department said on Nov. 1.

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) also said on Nov. 1 that he’d obtained information showing that “several members of the first caravan have significant criminal histories, including assault and sexual misconduct against a child, and membership in the MS-13 gang.”

"Disbelieve all women!"

Thank you, 'feminists' for turning women into the perceived enemies of men. It's pretty frustrating. I don't see the world through a fog of so-called 'women's issues,' but that's the ground they force other women to engage on. Disbelief seems to be turning into the new default assumption, and it's hard to blame the guys under seemingly constant assault for that.

[Tom R]

All of the political pundits like to remind us that the sitting President's party traditionally gets hammered in the midterm elections. You can count on one hand the number of times a sitting President's party gained seats in Congress. Most of the political pundits say the reason for that is because Americans prefer a divided government. Really? I think most Americans prefer a functional government that improves the lives of its citizens. I think the reason the sitting President's party traditionally gets hammered in the midterms is because the President fails to keep his campaign promises and the American public realize he was just saying what they wanted to hear in order to get their vote. Once in office they just do whatever the DC Uniparty Establishment tell them to do.

That obviously does not apply to Trump.

The 2018 midterms will be the first election in my lifetime where there is plenty of concrete evidence that Trump not only kept his campaign promises but his policies have been a huge success, especially on the economic side. What sane, logical voter with average or above intelligence is going to vote against the GOP because they disapprove of the success of Trump's policies and want the Democrats in control to limit Trump's power? No doubt based on what we have seen from the unhinged behavior of the Leftists there are a lot of insane, irrational and ignorant leftwingers out there. I just don't believe their radical ideology appeals to anyone with a functional brain.

Protests in Pakistan Delay Release of Christian Woman

ISLAMABAD—The release of a Christian woman in Pakistan who was acquitted after she was sentenced to death for blasphemy has apparently been delayed after talks failed between the government and hard-line Islamists who wanted her publicly hanged.

Pakistan’s Supreme Court on Oct. 31 overturned the 2010 conviction of Asia Bibi on charges of insulting Islam’s Prophet Muhammad.

Since then, hard-line Islamists have blocked highways to pressure the government to stop her release from an undisclosed detention facility.

On Nov. 1, Pakistan shut schools and colleges after Khadim Hussain Rizvi, the leader of Tehreek-e-Labbaik party, announced his talks with the government failed.

He asked his supporters to continue sit-ins as authorities summoned paramilitary troops to restore order.

From the backlog of unposted comments:

It's the Dendrites, Stupid!: The Plugged In Human Super Brain:

“It’s not just that humans are smart because we have more neurons and a larger cortex. From the bottom up, neurons behave differently,” says neuroscientist Mark Harnett with MIT’s McGovern Institute for Brain Research. “In human neurons, there is more electrical compartmentalization, and that allows these units to be a little bit more independent, potentially leading to increased computational capabilities of single neurons.

A new study, published this week in Cell, shows that in people dendrites (via which nerve cells receive signals from other neurons) have distinct electrical properties that may help explain how the brain processes arriving information.”

Progressive brains lack the capacity to compartmentalize, hence their susceptibility to recurring, systemic electrical 'storms' and their inability to do the math. Yeah, I made that last part up.

The other day you were asking about books on the Ottoman Empire. Back when I was reading The Great Upheaval, one of the three related series I watched was Resurection: Ertugal on Netflix, although i's set in an earlier period than the one Winik wrote about. It's fiction, but in addition to some great drama, it was my first real exposure to Ottoman cultural history, as the Empire's nomadic forbears arrived and settled in Turkey. I have no idea what's behind the name, but Ertugal fathered the eventual founder of the Ottoman Empire. It's a Turkish production, so I assume it comes Erdogan-approved, but it's not beat-you-over-the-head propaganda. It's got great actors, a gazillion episodes, and I loved it.

One from a law prof, anthony varona, asserts that "civil rights then are about treating our neighbors with dignity, as equal to us, and depending on us for their success just as much as we depend on them for ours." In other words, civil rights has become a phrase seeking to force economic, distributive justice.

Tim Kaine accuses GOP of 'straight, flat out anti-Semitism' over George Soros

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Speaking to a fired-up crowd a local brewery here, Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., took direct aim at Republican criticism of major Democratic donor George Soros, telling voters: "It’s straight, flat out anti-Semitism that has led people to target him."

The 2016 Democratic vice-presidential nominee urged Virginians to be the lead in turning the House blue, reminding them of the hateful attacks on a Jewish synagogue, pipe bombs sent to Democrats and the president’s hardline immigration drumbeat.

Kaine talked little about his race against hard-right Republican Corey Stewart, instead focusing on Democrats’ prospects of retaking the House.

He used to shack up with Candice Bergen (who looks like a corpse in the very ill advised return of Murphy Brown) in the house in which Sharon Tate and friends were murdered by the Manson vermin. Terry was pretty flipped out by that because ol' Chuck was upset with him for not being interested in his garbage music and he was wondering if he was the real target (people who knew Manson said NFW but who can tell with that lunatic). Melcher produced the first couple Byrd's albums and did some work with The Beach Boys, probably when Brian Wilson was doing a *lot* of acid, through which he met Manson.
