The NYT Smear on Justice Kavanaugh is Part of a Larger Attack on the Judiciary
ATLANTA, GA – Tea Party Patriots Action Honorary Chairman, Jenny Beth Martin, released the following statement regarding a link between the New York Times piece smearing Justice Kavanaugh and a larger attack on the judiciary.
"When you take a step back you can see how this is all part of a coordinated, unprecedented attack on the independent judiciary. This latest smear did not occur in a vacuum.

New York Times’ Latest Exploit of Kavanaugh is Profoundly ”Yellow Journalism”
And we thought the smear campaign against now-Justice Brett Kavanaugh was over. On Sunday, the New York Times had to walk back on some outrageous, malicious and downright false claims of sexual assault by Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his college days.
The article by Robin Pogrebin and Kate Kelly, adapted from their forthcoming book, alleged there was corroboration of an incident in which Kavanaugh, as a college student at Yale, exposed himself to a female classmate at a party. Upon hearing about this, numerous 2020 Democratic candidates made calls to “impeach” ...

Leftist Gun Grabbers are Bullying Pro-Gun Politicians to Get What They Want
Leftist politicians are doing what they do best: bullying and threatening Republicans to give them what they want. Speaker Nancy Pelosi warned that if the Senate didn’t pass a universal background check bill, there would be “hell to pay.”
The Hill reports:
The House bill cleared the chamber in February but no Senate Republican has signed on as a co-sponsor, giving it long odds for clearing the upper chamber.
Schumer on Monday said the two roadblocks to the House bill becoming law are Trump and McConnell.
“It is totally up to them and it is on their ...

Another Failed Smear Campaign Against President Trump’s Well-Qualified Nominees
On Wednesday, the Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing for Second Circuit Court nominee, Steven Menashi. Menashi’s confirmation has been mired in controversy thanks to a variety of smears from the liberal media.
Fox News has the details:
President Trump's pick for a seat on the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals adamantly denied that he harbors racist beliefs or favors "racial purity" during his confirmation hearing Wednesday morning, as he responded to inflammatory accusations against him.
During questioning, Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., observed that nominee Steven ...
We Need Reform on CAFE Standards, Not Gun Control
Gun violence makes headlines and causes outrage. Gun violence is an issue; however, where’s the visible outrage over the unreasonably strict Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards that have been responsible for more deaths than gun violence?
CAFE standards on automobiles began in 1975—after the 1973–74 Arab Oil Embargo—and were strengthened further by politicians like former President Barack Obama. They are regulations to “improve” the average U.S. fuel economy of cars and light trucks (trucks, vans and sport utility vehicles) produced.

Red Flag Laws are a Direct Violation of Our American Rights
Members are back on the Hill and Democrats are taking advantage of the tragic shootings to draft and attempt to pass legislation that would erode the Second Amendment. One of those bills will call for federal red flag laws, which would allow the government to confiscate firearms from citizens who haven’t been charged with a felony or been involuntarily committed to a mental facility. Depending on the state, family members, teachers, co-workers and/or law enforcement can petition to the court that a gun owner is unfit to be a gun owner. As former Senator Jim DeMint puts ...
State AG’s Set Their Sights on Google
Today, attorneys general for 50 U.S. states and territories launched a probe into Google on a vast array of anti-competition queries. The investigation is bipartisan and includes every state except California and Alabama
