WHEN in the course of human Events, it becomes necessary….
Welcome to the New American Digest: 2003-2020
From my youth up I never liked the city.
I never forgot the mountains where I was born.
The world caught me and harnessed me
And drove me through dust, thirty years away from home.
Migratory birds return to the same tree.
Fish find their way back to the pools where they were hatched.
I have been over the whole country,
And I have come back at last to the garden of my childhood.
My farm is only ten acres.
The farm house has eight or nine rooms.
Elms and willows shade the back garden.
Peach trees stand by the front door.
The village is out of sight.
You can hear dogs bark in the alleys,
And cocks crow in the mulberry trees.
When you come through the gate into the court
You will find no dust or mess.
Peace and quiet live in every room.
I am content to stay here the rest of my life.
At last I have found myself.
— Tao Yuan Ming (Tao Qian) Chinese, 365-427

Yesterday was absolutely demonic in its scope of naked evil. I wept, and it has been a very long time since I wept. When Hizzoner came out and stated fearlessly, that he would not be withdrawing his nomination, I felt proud. Clearly, voting is not going to suffice against these monsters.
Amazing performance by an amazing man. Kavanaugh would do well to produce something similar on Thursday, but that may be too much to ask. I was struck by the brief look at Biden we get during Thomas’s remarks. He is sitting back, leaning a bit to one side, with what I judge to be a smug, fake concern look on his face. Someone should have smacked him across the face and told him to sit up straight.
Biden; Backpfeifengesicht
That was profound, Biden, Leahy and the other Democrat descendants of Nathan Bedford Forrest, Bull Connor, George Wallace, the Birmingham church bombers and the rest of the Democrat Klansmen were too stupid and vile to appreciate the irony of carrying on the leftist racist heritage in the Senate
I’d like to hear Thomas’s take on this Kavanaugh travesty, with 27 years of hindsight.
You can read what his accuser dock slut says about it here:

What gets lost in the Anita Hill he “said/she said” shuffle is the utter insanity and unbelievability of what “she said” She charged a man of completely sound mind with no record of any misbehavior, of saying “Who has put a pubic hair in my Coke?” Why we he does this, to get Anita Hill turned on? Only a man in a padded room would think that
And then there was the one about getting Anita Hill alone in his office to talk about porn movies. Again, what adult man would think that was a proper way to approach a liberal, college-educated woman proffessional … other than Travis Bickle in the movie “Taxi Driver.”
On the other hand, there just might be something about a scrawny, tightly wound, ultra-leftist black woman that triggered Thomas beyond the point of madness. It’s a possibility, seeing as how, at the time, he was dating a well-padded, fair-skinned, laid-back conservative woman of the Red Irish persuasion. You know, the absolute polar opposite of Anita; a woman so different from Anita Hill that if the two ever touched each other, the entire universe would be annihilated
Anita Hill, Christine Ford, and the US Senate are defining mediocrity down.
