The guy is right about a big disaster needing a large-scale response, but it doesn't necessarily need a centrally driven one like the Red Cross. After Harvey an amazing number of small groups sent in people to help down here. Locals, especially the volunteer fire department and local clubs, fanned out first with water, food, and generators. Then came crew after crew after crew of teams with chainsaws to help clear the downed trees, going door to door. These were mostly either churches or volunteer firefighters from up to a thousand miles away. Later came a flood of mostly church groups with carpenter teams to repair roofs and do muck-and-gut rebuilds on water-damaged houses. The former were almost entirely independent, through they coordinated loosely through the pastor network. The latter coordinated a little more formally through the county. FEMA was here, and gave some individual aid, but its primary role has been to fund county projects such as the roadside debris pickup, a project that took over six months and cost about as much as this county's usual annual budget.

I'm convinced that if you want to get through a disaster, the most important thing is small-scale local organization. It's phenomenal how differently our neighborhoods fared, depending on whether they had local clubs. The outside help doesn't seem to be able to do much if there's not a small-scale organization there to do the final door-to-door administration. Know your neighbors. You do NOT want this kind of thing to be entirely in the hands of the Feds.

Agree 100%. Two months after Harvey hit, I still had choppers going over my home at least a dozen times a day, on their way to the disaster from their staging points near my home. The day after Harvey had moved out, the highway to Houston had an unending line of commercial work vehicles and pickup trucks towing johnboats, airboats, ATV's, generators, emergency and building supplies. This continued for over a month.

It gives you a certain feeling when you see people responding this way, altruistically, automatically. Now, over a year later, members of my church and other neighbors are still going into the area to volunteer with groups rebuilding homes. The government and FEMA have a role in disaster relief, but there is plenty of need to go around. I am proud of the way both governmental and NGO's responded, and continue to respond, to the disaster. These responses aren't just good for the victims, they're good for society's social fabric. No doubt the same will happen at the site of Florence's wrath. The government is well-suited to large scale emergency response, but there is no substitute for the work done by people to restore a community's life.

Yeah, pretty much.

Kavanaugh falsely claimed he could legally drink at the time.

Kavanaugh gets combative when asked about his drinking.

Kavanaugh (July 1, 1982): “to Timmy’s for {brew}skis w/Judge, Tom, PJ, Bernie, Squi.”

Kavanaugh declines to call for an FBI investigation to clear his name.

Kavanaugh blames the Democrats, Trump-haters, the Left, and the Clintons for allegations others have raised about his behavior.

Kavanaugh: “A good judge must be an umpire—a neutral and impartial arbiter who favors no litigant or policy”.

The central question whether Kavanaugh tried to rape or abuse Dr. Ford. Everybody she said was there disputed her account, including a close friend of hers. Unless one believes that the three people Dr. Ford said were there were lying (no Democrats even suggested that), there is no reason to believe that Dr. Ford's accusation is accurate. Nothing about his yearbook, drinking games, illegal drinking, or any of the other lines of questioning by the Democrats could get over that and without getting over that, questions about his drinking in high school is irrelevant and just an attempt at character assassination.

The delaying ploy of calling for an FBI investigation to clear his name is just that. The FBI has already investigated him half a dozen times and never found any hint of behavior. An FBI investigation of Dr. Ford's accusations could only consist of interviewing the people Dr. Ford said were there. There is nothing else to investigate. They could not even confirm Dr. Ford's description of the house where the event was supposed to have occurred because she doesn't remember where it was nor when it was supposed to have happened. and we already know what they would say since they gave statements under penalty of perjury. She was fifteen years old so she was dependent on somebody to get her home yet she has no memory of how she got home.

Dr. Ford and her legal team has her own credibility issues. She claims that her memories were rekindled by working on remodeling her house in 2012 but there were no permits granted for her house in 2012 but there were in 2008 instead. Her said she didn't know of the offer from Grassley to have her interviewed at her home. This was reported in the news so, but maybe she didn't watch the news. Her legal team should have told her but didn't. She said she couldn't fly to DC because of the trauma from her assault but she did end up flying there and many other places like Hawaii, Tahiti, Costa Rica, South Pacific to name just a few. Just more delaying tactics from her side.

mudbug: The central question whether Kavanaugh tried to rape or abuse Dr. Ford.

That's not the only allegation, and his integrity and partisanship is also in question.

mudbug: Everybody she said was there disputed her account, including a close friend of hers.

No. Her close friend didn't dispute her account, but simply said she doesn't remember the day in question. As she wasn't in the room, there's no reason she would remember it. Mark Judge has denied it happened, but has not been questioned on the matter.

mudbug: there is no reason to believe that Dr. Ford's accusation is accurate.

That there are three allegations, similar in nature, and that many of his classmates say he has dissembled about the extent of his drinking, means there is more than enough evidence to investigate further.

mudbug: The FBI has already investigated him half a dozen times and never found any hint of behavior.

That's right. But new information has come to light.

#4.2.2.1 Zachriel on 2018-09-28 12:29 (Reply)

Whatever... there is no corroboration for her story. In fact, there isn't much of a story.

What new information has come to light? There is an unsubstantiated accusation by a politically active Democrat who is being represented by a leftist law firm (who apparently lied to the Senate committee and also their client) suggested by Sen. Feinstein while Dr. Ford was saying she wanted to remain anonymous. While she was saying she wanted to remain anonymous, she took a polygraph. There is no reason to have legal representation or a polygraph unless you want to bring it public. On second thought. There is new information to be investigated - there is evidence that this whole thing is a political hit job. Let's have the FBI investigate that.

#4.2.2.1.1 mudbug on 2018-09-28 13:01 (Reply)

There's quite a story, actually three allegations that have the common thread drunken sexual assault.

Z-Team claim: Kavanaugh falsely claimed he could legally drink at the time.
"I reported the Bloomberg article to Facebook as 'False News.'"

QUOTE:

From the hearing transcript:

"My friends and I sometimes got together and had parties on weekends. The drinking age was 18 in Maryland for most of my time in high school, and was 18 in D.C. for all of my time in high school. I drank beer with my friends. Almost everyone did. Sometimes I had too many beers. Sometimes others did. I liked beer. I still like beer.."

What a surprise, fake news from the Z-Team.

Z: Kavanaugh falsely claimed he could legally drink at the time.

Sort of like the "meaning of 'is' is". Notably, Clinton was not found guilty of perjury, but for civil contempt for lying under oath.

It is refreshing that someone actually responded to one of our points, though. We will modify our statement: Kavanaugh dissembled by suggesting he could legally drink at the time.

Nonsense. He stated the legal drinking age. Most people, but not the Z-Team, are aware that most high school students have not yet turned 18.

Lindsey Graham seems to have turned the tide, to the extent it wasn't already turned by Kavanaugh's own testimony. My Facebook feed contained about two dozen copies of Graham's furious outburst--and he spoke again this morning, even more compellingly. I didn't know he had it in him.

On the other hand, before I even went to bed last night, there was a sprinkling of posts trying to argue that Kavanaugh's outrage showed he didn't have the temperament to be a judge. What a bunch of tools.

Final news: Townhall reported last night that all the wavering pseudo-Rs were a "yes" vote now, and even some Ds are wavering. I hope to see an end to this disgusting travesty tomorrow morning. Next I expect to see riots.

This morning the take seems to be that "poor Dr. Ford" is a victim, certainly, but probably a victim of her own lawyers and the rest of the Democratic operatives.

Kavanaugh gave a good impression of an entitled preppy alcoholic. Anyway, there's nothing like lashing out at vast conspiracies that spells judicial temperament.

Texan99: This morning the take seems to be that "poor Dr. Ford" is a victim, certainly, but probably a victim of her own lawyers and the rest of the Democratic operatives.

The record contradicts that claim. Ford was the agent of her own testimony, sending her initial letter before Kavanaugh had been nominated.

You probably want to ask what makes the allegations credible. There is more than one allegation indicating a pattern of behavior. While we have only heard from one victim, she appeared sincere and straightforward. That doesn't constitute proof, but is certainly something that should be investigated further. That makes it a serious matter.

Hurts to keep loosing. Maybe if there was an ounce of REAL serious allegations, instead of a train load of lying lefty patsy's being paraded before America, Kavanaugh would not be going to the Supreme Court.

I am sure something happened to Ford, but it was not Kavanaugh who did it to her. I suspect, that it is a lot of self inflicted wounds. What I have read about her High School years, doesn't paint a pretty picture. I am sympathetic to her, she is being used.

Team Zachriel, really needs to grow up, wake up, and smell the roses. Unless you all are true believers in tyranny?

The Democrats and their affiliated media have now shown they are a clear and present danger to this country. If anything, this farce also showed that the "Russia conspiracy" is another manufactured smear with nothing to back it up.

And after weeks of coaching, the fake accuser still couldn't come out with a consistent story and was exposed on lying about such items as not being able to travel, willingness to meet with the committee, etc.

The good thing is that all the guilty actors have exposed themselves. The New York Times, WaPo, New Yorker, and others have had absolutely no problem putting out totally fabricated stories with nothing to back them up.

Most telling was the interlocutor's report to the panel that based on what Ford said, her story would not hold up in a court of law.
