Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s accuser has been nominated by her alma mater for its distinguished alumna award for “speaking truth to power.” According to a report in CNN, Christine Blasey Ford is being pushed for the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Distinguished Alumna Award because she was “speaking truth to power” when she publicly accused then-Judge Kavanaugh of sexual assault. Jennifer Ho, a professor of English at UNC, stated in her letter nominating Ms. Blasey Ford that her testimony “was something that was extraordinary in how ordinary it was: she told the truth about a sexual assault she experienced

Comments: The aptly named Prof. Jennifer Ho found a way to further damage the UNC brand. Ho here says the disproved molestation was real; should she be liable for libel?

Dear God! An award for lying. Yet another example of the ethical and cultural wasteland that is modern academia.

Have a look at the article by Steve Sailer posted just above this one.
The spirit of the age cries out for tales of victimization, and, unsurprisingly, the supply has grown to meet the skyrocketing demand. What does it say about our culture that we just witnessed a professor of psychology be vastly praised for testifying to a purported chain of events without any additional evidence emerging that it wasn’t all just in her head?

Ummm...except for one thing: Latest I heard, noone has stepped forward to corroborate her story, so the "truth" has sorta oozed out of CBF´s "power balloon"
Too, bad...so sad.

In the world of LIE-beral INDOCTRINATION, she is a SAINT!!!!
She LIED!!!!! Her lies almost cost an "evil white conservative male" a seat on the Supreme Court!!!!!! That is taking the theory of the LIE-beral Mantra "the ENDS always justify the MEANS!!!!!" to it´s highest level!!!! Since this allows LIE-berals to lie, cheat, steal, and even kill, to get and keep power, she is the perfect LIE-beral!!!!!

At this point just nominated by some dimwit feminist professor. If UNC follows up and gives her the award, then we can rightfully ridicule that institution.

The word I seem to remember from those describing her testimony was "compelling". So maybe speaking Compellingly to Power can be the new Liberal mantra. They have no use for truth...those pesky facts always get in the way of their agenda.

The woman is a STONE COLD LIAR who perjured herself for the sake of her demented democratic ideology. She and the others such as Watters,Shumer, et al make me sick to my stomach. I am ashamed to be an American if they can also be designated Americans. This bloated specimen concocted a smear designed to at the very least delay the filling of a Supreme Court vacancy until the next election and at most, scuttle the nomination all together. She did not do it alone. These liberals are every bit as bad as the Bolshevics. It´s hard to stop people who have no limit to their indecency.

As an alumna of UNC-Chapel Hill, this infuriates me and is one of the reasons I do not give to the school´s fund-raising campaigns. Wonder how far university researchers would get if they submitted "their truth" as scientific fact?

Olathe, Kan.—Three Olathe middle school students went the extra mile to ensure every girl at their school had a special Valentine’s Day. Eighth-grader Tristan Valentine, seventh-grader Kyan Rice and sixth-grader Lincoln Holmes used hundreds of their own dollars to purchase flowers for all 270 girls and 70 female staff members at Summit Trail Middle School. The three boys arrived early at the school Thursday with buckets and buckets of carnations. They strategically positioned themselves at the entrances of the school and passed out the flowers to every female in the building. “We wanted every girl to feel important

New York — An estimated 570,000 undocumented immigrants are currently living in New York State — the majority in New York City — may soon be eligible for driver’s licenses. Rallying on the steps of City Hall, elected leaders and advocates are pushing for all immigrants regardless of legal status to be granted the privilege. “The one thing we are hearing from our immigrant communities from Brentwood to Buffalo is drivers licenses are the single biggest issue,” said Steven Choi with the New York Immigration Coalition. The city council Wednesday overwhelmingly passed a resolution encouraging state lawmakers to make licenses happen.

Atlanta—A federal labor union says some of its members found what it called a “racist book open and on display” in a Republican Georgia congressman’s Washington office. The American Federation of Government Employees said in a news release that its members were visiting the offices of U.S. Rep. Drew Ferguson on Monday when a political coordinator for the union says he saw the book “Gen. Robert Edward Lee: Soldier, Citizen, and Christian Patriot” in the lobby of the office.

Angus King of Maine was not amused when the head of the U.S. Pacific Command argued the amount of ships that did not collide on his watch should be considered in the Senate Armed Service’s Committee’s condemnation of the two that did, killing 17 sailors. “These two collisions were a tragedy, there is no doubt about it,” Davidson said in reference to a pair of 2017 accidents involving the destroyers Fitzgerald and John S.

Hours after President Trump appeared in El Paso Monday at a rally to demand border wall money, a massive group of illegal immigrants breached the border a few miles away. Border Patrol agents say 311 migrants strolled around the end of the border fence in Sunland Park, New Mexico, and walked into the U.S., where they were arrested just before midnight. Almost all of them were families or unaccompanied alien children (UAC) from Central America, part of a stream of mini-caravans who have traversed Mexico over the last year, finding holes in American border security.

At first I was giddy for the fresh start. But hormones and sex change genital surgery couldn´t solve the underlying issues driving my gender dysphoria. I started my transgender journey as a 4-year-old boy when my grandmother repeatedly, over several years, cross-dressed me in a full-length purple dress she made especially for me and told me how pretty I was as a girl. This planted the seed of gender confusion and led to my transitioning at age 42 to transgender female. I lived as “Laura” for eight years, but, as I now know, transitioning doesn’t fix

On Wednesday, May 10, 2017, my first full day on the job as acting director of the FBI, I sat down with senior staff involved in the Russia case—the investigation into alleged ties between the Trump campaign and the Russian government. As the meeting began, my secretary relayed a message that the White House was calling. The president himself was on the line. I had spoken with him the night before, in the Oval Office, when he told me he had fired James Comey. A call like this was highly unusual. Presidents do not, typically, call FBI directors.

The GOP Majority Leader in the Senate persuaded President Donald Trump to not veto the GOP’s flawed border security bill by promising to back a national emergency construction of border walls, according to insider leaks to the establishment media. The Washington Post reported that “Trump had been leaning against supporting the congressional spending bill but relented after several conversations with [Majority Leader Sen. Mitch] McConnell, who then announced his agreement to go along with an emergency declaration.” One reason for Trump’s last-minute opposition is that congressional leaders conducted the negotiations without significant White House involvement.

Washington — Millions of Americans are waiting for Robert Mueller to give them the final word on whether the Trump campaign conspired with the 2016 Russian election interference effort — and whether their president is under the influence of a foreign adversary. Millions of Americans may be sorely disappointed. Unless Mueller files a detailed indictment charging members of the Trump campaign with conspiring with Russia, the public may never learn the full scope of what Mueller and his team has found — including potentially scandalous behavior that doesn´t amount to a provable crime.

Andrew McCabe is a national disgrace. He was part of the most corrupt and most partisan leadership team in FBI history and was fired for being dishonest under oath. And yet, America owes him a big thank-you. McCabe, you see, has reminded us once again that there really is a powerful deep state, and that there has not been a full accounting of rampant FBI misconduct during the presidential campaign of 2016. There is also still too much we don’t know about the role top aides to then-President Barack Obama and higher-ups in the Justice Department

Move over, Speaker Pelosi, and make room for New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill deBlasio as Democrats waking up to the disaster the rise of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is inflicting on the Democratic Party. She is no longer just a potential threat to their schemes and operating principles, she has taken a wrecking ball to them. Trust me: they desperately want to be rid of her but, due to her media presence and popularity with the young and ignorant, cannot visibly stick the shiv in her back.
