Kavanaugh’s College Roommate Releases Statement About New Accuser: ‘I Believe Her’
By Sarah Nechamkin
On Sunday, Deborah Ramirez came forward in The New Yorker to become the second woman publicly accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of s*xual assault. Ramirez alleges that Kavanaugh drunkenly exposed himself to her at a freshman-year dorm party at Yale University, where she says he thrust his p*nis in her face, and that she was made to touch it during her efforts to push him away.
Ramirez acknowledges that she, too, was drunk, and her memory from the 1983 incident is hazy; the report also did not confirm with every eyewitness that Kavanugh was at the alleged party. But a former classmate interviewed for the story said another student told him about the incident soon after, and that he is “one-hundred-per-cent sure” that Kavanaugh was the student to expose himself to Ramirez. Since the new allegation, two Yale alumni have also withdrawn from their letter of support for Kavanaugh. And now, his former roommate, James Roche, has spoken out in solidarity with Ramirez.
In a statement released to select reporters Monday night, Roche writes of his experience as Kavanaugh’s freshman-year roommate, concluding that “although Brett was normally reserved, he was a notably heavy drinker, even by the standards of the time, and that he became belligerent and aggressive when he was very drunk.” Though he says he does not remember the incident of alleged s*xual assault, he does remember Kavanaugh “frequently drinking excessively and becoming incoherently drunk.”
Roche also describes his friendship with Deborah Ramirez, saying “she stood out as being exceptionally honest, with a trusting manner.” He says Ramirez, a Puerto Rican woman who felt out of place among the privileged students of Yale, was worried about fitting in and tried hard to make friends and “get along.”
“Based on my time with Debbie, I believe her to be unusually honest and straightforward and I cannot imagine her making this up,” Roche writes. “Based on my time with Brett, I believe that he and his social circle were capable of the actions that Debbie described.”
“I do not consider myself a political person and I have no political agenda,” Roche writes. “I have shared this information with a small number of reporters who reached out to me directly because Debbie has a right to be heard and I believe her.”

Over 600 doctors signed a letter of support sent to the White House to tell President Trump to continue demanding that Democrat governors and mayors immediately stop the politically motivated shutdowns of their states and cities which are causing a "mass casualties" among the people living in those places.
President Trump has repeated over and over that the cure these Democrats are enforcing is worse than the disease and this is clear proof that the medical community agrees.

Three Weeks After Trump's Tulsa Rally, Oklahoma Reports Record High COVID-19 Numbers

Oklahoma health officials reported record number of COVID-19 cases in the state this week, three weeks after President Donald Trump held a controversial rally in Tulsa, Okla., on June 20.
On Saturday, the Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH) reported 687 new COVID-19 cases had been confirmed in the last 24 hours. It was the second highest increase only coming after Tuesday’s 858 confirmed cases, per the Oklahoman. As of Saturday afternoon ET, Oklahoma had at least 19,779 confirmed cases of the virus, according to OSDH.
According to a reporter for local news channel KOCO 5, the seven-day average of COVID-19 cases is nearly six times what it was in early April. Officials also reported five new COVID-19 related deaths on Saturday.
The surge of new cases comes just weeks after President Trump held a campaign rally in an indoor arena in Tulsa, where many of the attendees reportedly did not wear masks. The event was criticized as being unsafe and a local newspaper ran an editorial asking the President not to hold the rally. On the day of the event, it was revealed that six staffers on the Trump campaign tested positive for the coronavirus.In the following weeks Tulsa County has seen a sharp increase in the number of COVID-19 cases in the area. As of Saturday afternoon ET, the county has at least 5,005 confirmed cases, according to the Tulsa Health Department. On Wednesday, Dr. Bruce Dart, the director of the Tulsa Health Department, said the President’s rally and subsequent protests “likely contributed” to the rise in COVID-19 cases in the county, per the Associated Press.
A week after the rally, the Washington Post reported that the Trump campaign had removed thousands of stickers within the arena placed to promote social distancing during the event.
New York, New Jersey and Connecticut announced on Tuesday that all visitors coming from Oklahoma must quarantine for 14 days.

Oh... say it ain't so!
Two daughters of (the late) Doctor Larry Braunstein came forward to say the podiatrist diagnosed (the young) Donald Trump with bone spurs in 1968. That diagnosis was enough to get Trump a medical exemption for the Vietnam War draft.
According to one story, Braunstein did it as a favor to Trump's father, Fred who was his landlord at the time.

Record Employment, Record Pay, Record Stock Market, Record Family Wealth -- Now RECORD SHOPPING DAY!
The Trump economy is unstoppable in spite of the Democrats relentless effort to destroy it and prevent his reelection. Christmas day comes with yet another record high US stock market and, now another record in the books, the biggest day of shopping in US history in the middle of the most successful holiday shopping season in history.
Can you imagine how good we would have it if the Democrats supported President Trump's most successful economic policies of all times instead of trying to make people lose their jobs, lose their savings and go bankrupt just so President Trump would stop putting so many points on the board? Vote Democrats out and you won't have to imagine it.

The reaction to and the significance of the current pandemic - genuine questions
In the context of the current virus the comparison is always made with SARS or Spanish flu, and seldom is there reference to the 2009 H1N1 virus/flu. I was still working then and approaching retirement and perhaps had had a flu-shot. It seemed a minor background issue emanating from distant Mexico and perhaps related to pigs. I worked through it and took little notice of world attention, which seemed in fact slight. Yet published figures now mention 10%+ of the world's populated infected, 400,000 putative deaths, and 2000 in Australia alone.
Now in this epidemic, flights in and out of China are stopped. Chinese industry business and production activity is frozen and the ripples are felt world-wide. 2000 deaths now, looking headed on logarithmic graphs for somewhere under 10,000. So I am rather puzzled about the apparent difference in world reaction to this event and that in 2009. Well, we did have acceptable medication and usable vaccines then, yes. But we didn't wear masks and we didn't yell at or abuse the yanks who stand out like sore thumbs wherever they go (joking joking
)
Nor can I remember conspiracy theories sprouting like toadstools and fungi as they do now. Or discussion of the 59 million infected Americans, the 265,000 hospitalized as a result, or the 12,000 who died. Now why is that?
China have shut down, locked up 60m people, promptly, not promplty enough for many. This is alternately too little or too draconian. The official estimates are deliberately concealing the truth (of course they are going to be a minimum figure) which should be 100 hundred times higher according to some. The hospitals are prison camps and death camps according to some.
So my questions:
1.Why is this being treated so much more critically severely than H1N1 which on the face of it was actually 10 times worse?
2.Why the conspiracy theories not seen (well I didn't see them) for 2009 H1N1?
3.Why is it ok now to racially stereotype and abuse Asian people when (I assume) nothing of the sort happened in 2009
4.Why is the Chinese treatment of the situation so widely vilified?
5.What does this say about the world of 2020?
I don't have answers! Nothing up my sleeve, it's not Texas Holdem night.

Stunning Landslide Conservative Defeat Of Socialists In UK Spells Doom For American Democrat Party
Story isn't published yet, but UK's Donald Trump, Boris Johnson, just won their election by a landslide over the socialist Labor Party. That pretty much tells you what is coming up in November 2020 in the United States. People are FINALLY waking up to the evil of the left. President Trump instigated an international awakening and ideological revolution that cannot be turned back. 
The headline is all you need. It tells the whole story...
I mean if even the Europeans are finally figuring out that socialism is a cancer, imagine what is going to happen in America, a place that has known it for 250 years?
