Bob Zimmerman is wondering if it’s starting to show cracks.
[Wednesday-morning update]
Thoughts on the Left’s scorched-earth strategy.

Meadow’s Father
“Guns didn’t kill my daughter; Democrat policies did.”
I would be at least as outraged as he is.
Meanwhile, exposing the ignorance, lies, and irrationality of gun “buy backs” and “assault weapons” bans.
Kavanaugh
More at HotAir. And this is a good point: “John Roberts is culpable in the Kavanaugh attacks. He showed you could rough up the ref and change the call.”
John Roberts has been a huge disappointment.

The assault on the Supreme Court. I’d like to ask, if at long last, the Left has no decency, but the answer to that is pretty clear at this point.
[Update a while later]
OK, they’re not all stupid. Senior Democrats shut down the “impeach Kavanaugh” talk.
[Mid-morning update]
Kevin Drum: The new book on Kavanaugh is a gift to conservatives. I disagree on a lot of things with Kevin, but I’ve always respected his honesty.

The real reason for the Kavanaugh smear.
It’s all about delegitimizing any of his rulings.
Iran
One of the things that gave us Trump was the fecklessness of multiple administrations on the Mullahs, who have been waging war on us for four decades. The Bush administration did nothing as they were killing our troops in Iraq, In the case of Obama (and John Kerry), it went beyond fecklessness, arguably, to treason (though there is no formal declaration of war).
Roger Simon says that the attack on the Saudi oil fields was this era’s Pearl Harbor, and it’s time to drop the hammer on them.

The Latest Outrage From The Democrats
No, with them, it is never over. But if they want more Trump, this is how they’re going to get more Trump.
[Update a few minutes later]
More thoughts on Trump “fatigue” from VDH.
Trump’s low approval ratings don’t mean what the media hopes they mean. I continue to not approve of Trump, but if you think that’s going to make me vote for any Democrat, you’re out of your mind,

The New York Times is now admitting that its latest hit job on Kavanaugh was #FakeNews.
[Update a while later]
Jonathan Chait is afraid that his party’s candidates are either too left, or too old. He should be.
[Afternoon update]
Are the Democrats committing electoral suicide?
I sure hope so.
Sleep Apnea And Blood Pressure
The combination can increase risk of heart attack. This seemed strange to me, though:
Patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea had blood pressure readings 5.72 mmHg higher than those with normal obstructive sleep apnea.
That seems to be like a trivial increase if one has hypertension. It would be about three percent of my systolic.
Austin
Don’t move there; it’s rotting from within.
A Basement Discovery
…undermines decades of crap dietary advice:
Analyzing the reams of old records, Ramsden and his team found, in line with the “diet-heart hypothesis,” that substituting vegetable oils lowered total blood cholesterol levels, by an average of 14 percent.
But that lowered cholesterol did not help people live longer. Instead, the lower cholesterol fell, the higher the risk of dying: 22 percent higher for every 30-point fall. Nor did the corn-oil group have less atherosclerosis or fewer heart attacks.
I’m scheduling a follow up with my cardiologist. I’m guessing that he’ll probably want to put me on statins, despite my clean bill of health from my angio scan, because my total cholesterol is a little over 240. I’ll tell him to take a hike.
The Insanity At The Dem Debate
Blame academia.
[Update a few minutes later]
Bobby Frank O’Rourke: “Hell yes I’m going to violate my oath to defend and protect the Constitution.“
And yes, vicious scapegoating is the point of Beto’s attempted gun grab.
[Late-morning update]
The Democrats let their fascist gun-grabbing freak flag fly.
McCabe
Will he bring down the FBI with him? Let’s hope.
[Update a few minutes later]
Sidney Powell, on behalf of Flynn, is being very aggressive. Among other things, she is seeking “Any and all evidence that during a senior-attended FBI meeting or video conference, Andrew McCabe said, “First we fuck Flynn, then we fuck Trump,” or words to that effect.”
I like the cut of her jib.
