Sears Is On The Ropes!

Sears in dire straits.

Those who vote Republican and work in retail should be concerned. Sears could be gone by the end of the year.

The Sears Holdings Group owes $134 million to a private equity firm. The company that owns Sears and Kmart signals that on Monday the company will file for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. If they don't find a suitable creditor to take over the business within three months the entire company could go out of business. That will be a chapter 7 liquidation.

We are danger of a recession.

Are you going to vote?

Yes. I'm voting for the Democrats.

Yes. I'm voting for the Republicans.

No. I'm not voting.

The local malls could shutter displacing thousands of people out of jobs.

Sears are usually anchored in malls. Some are stand alone stores.

Kmart is down to 247 stores in the United States. That's critically endangered in layman's terms.

The Sears Holdings Group hires M-III to proceed on bankruptcy proceedings.

Kmart will be the first to go in the closing of Sears Holding Group.

Eddie Lampert want to shed off retiree benefits and force full time workers to lose their benefits. Good luck on that one. I am assuring you that employees are quitting because of that plan.

He is a majority shareholder. Lampert is hedge fund investor. He pulled in billions because of the company. His handling of Sears lead to the company's demise. This will leave thousands of workers out of their jobs. The shareholder will take home over $20 million in a golden parachute.

Lampert is a billionaire who took over Sears in 2004. He wanted to cut off retirees pensions and sell off brands like Kenmore, Martha Stewart and Sofia Vegera's clothing. He wanted to think like a Republican. After all he is a Republican who owns a yacht. His wife is a former corporate lawyer. His children go to private school. He will still be rich and he will takes a $3 million salary.

The Jobs and Tax Cut Act didn't help Sears. It helped his shares of other stock.

The company been around for over 125 years. The Sears, Roebuck and Company was founded in 1892 by Richard Warren Sears and Alvah Curtis Roebuck. The Kmart Corporation was founded by Sebastian Spering Kresge who started the company as the S.S. Kresge Company. The Kmart company came to life in 1977 when it merged with McCroy stores.

The two merged in 2005 as the Sears Holding Group. Kmart survived bankruptcy by merging with Sears. Now it seems like the end is near for both iconic brands.

These companies are part of American history. They will soon be history.

Are you planning on voting?

Are you fired up?

Our country going down the crapper because of reality television, lackluster politicians, old farts running our government, capitalism, private equity firms, deregulation, religious zealots, conservative agitators, white male privilege, white "Becky's" calling the law on people of color, numerous culture wars and Donald J. Trump.

Republicans are counting on you to stay at home. The white Republican votes every election. People of color and young voters often stay at home. They end up getting purged from voter rolls.

Please vote.

VOTE EARLY.

VOTE BY ABSENTEE BALLOT.

Trump Jumps Into Kanye West And Taylor Swift Feud!

The feud between Kanye West and Taylor Swift is back on. The two are feuding over political differences.

The White House announced that Kanye West will meet with Donald J. Trump, Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump for a lunch. They will discuss topics like gun crime in Chicago and prison reform.

This will be on Monday.

The feud between the pop singer Taylor Swift and Kanye West has become political.

Anyone remembers the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards controversy? Kanye West stormed the stage and interrupted Swift's speech when she accepted an award. West was criticizing the decision to give her the award while passing on Beyonce.

West has constantly agitated Swift for years.

"He made that bitch famous!" as he said.

Are you going to vote?

Yes

No

Taylor Swift's loyal fan base is fired up.

As a native Tennessean, she wants to voice her concerns about the country. She publicly endorsed Democratic senatorial nominee Phil Bredesen over Republican nominee, Marsha Blackburn.

"Her voting record in Congress appalls and terrifies me. She voted against equal pay for women. She voted against the Reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, which attempts to protect women from domestic violence, stalking, and date rape. She believes businesses have a right to refuse serves to gay couples. She also believes they should not have to marry. These are not MY Tennessee values."

I’m writing this post about the upcoming midterm elections on November 6th, in which I’ll be voting in the state of Tennessee. In the past I’ve been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years, I feel very differently about that now. I always have and always will cast my vote based on which candidate will protect and fight for the human rights I believe we all deserve in this country. I believe in the fight for LGBTQ rights, and that any form of discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender is WRONG. I believe that the systemic racism we still see in this country towards people of color is terrifying, sickening and prevalent. I cannot vote for someone who will not be willing to fight for dignity for ALL Americans, no matter their skin color, gender or who they love. Running for Senate in the state of Tennessee is a woman named Marsha Blackburn. As much as I have in the past and would like to continue voting for women in office, I cannot support Marsha Blackburn. Her voting record in Congress appalls and terrifies me. She voted against equal pay for women. She voted against the Reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, which attempts to protect women from domestic violence, stalking, and date rape. She believes businesses have a right to refuse service to gay couples. She also believes they should not have the right to marry. These are not MY Tennessee values. I will be voting for Phil Bredesen for Senate and Jim Cooper for House of Representatives. Please, please educate yourself on the candidates running in your state and vote based on who most closely represents your values. For a lot of us, we may never find a candidate or party with whom we agree 100% on every issue, but we have to vote anyway. So many intelligent, thoughtful, self-possessed people have turned 18 in the past two years and now have the right and privilege to make their vote count. But first you need to register, which is quick and easy to do. October 9th is the LAST DAY to register to vote in the state of TN. Go to vote.org and you can find all the info. Happy Voting! 🗳😃🌈

A post shared by Taylor Swift (@taylorswift) on Oct 7, 2018 at 4:33pm PDT

Swift's also endorsed Rep. Jim Cooper (D-TN) a moderate lawmaker who is facing a tougher fight. Trump decided to throw his two cents into the Swift endorsement.

"Let's say that I like Taylor's music about 25% less now, OK?" he said to reporters with a laugh.



Also this Fox News troll named Charlie Kirk had his "shut up and dribble" moment.

Hey ⁦@taylorswift13⁩ before you endorse a candidate maybe you should learn something about the candidates

You have no idea what you are talking about

Marsha is a strong woman who will be the next US Senator from Tennessee.  https://t.co/J27pRRJvJa

— Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) October 8, 2018

Hey @taylorswift13 -

You just endorsed a Democrat in the Tennessee senate race with a ridiculous statement saying Marsha Blackburn, a woman, is against women

You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about

Your career has never recovered since Kanye ended it

Conservatives got worked up over Swift throwing her support for Phil Bredesen. Trump and the right are outraged over her opinion.

Taylor Swift endorses Phil Bredsen for Senate and conservatives are outraged.

Swift's move has prompted an outcry among the far right, many of whom long speculated that the singer may have been a secret fan of the Republican Party. Trump himself said Swift likely didn't "know anything" about Blackburn, ending his comments with a subtle dig at the singer.

Trump's remarks have sparked a voter registration drive. Her fans now came out in support of her against the sexist attacks from Trump and Kanye West.

Has anyone bought Kanye West's latest albums this year. I haven't. Matter of fact, I don't want nothing to do with Kanye or Kim Kardashian. Fuck them both.

The hip-hop community and progressives despise Kanye West. Black supporters of Trump are often defended fiercely by conservatives.

I don't like reality television. I don't like the reality television president.

I hope you are registering to vote.

Some states have a limited time frame when it comes to voting. If you want to keep the "status quo" in Washington, elect Marsha Blackburn. Even though I despise him, I rather have Phil Bredsen in the Senate than that worthless lawmaker Blackburn.

Nikki Haley Fired Out The Cannon!

Trump gets rid of Nikki Haley.

The abrupt firing of the United Nations ambassador is showing a clear signal that Donald J. Trump and the Republican Party are planning on booting out world leaders.

It also was apparent that she was not happy that Republicans rammed through the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh.

She was probably disappointed with her former allies, South Carolina senators Lindsey Graham and Tim Scott.

The former South Carolina governor became prominent in the removal of the confederate flag around the state capitol. She removed the flag in the wake of the mass shooting of nine Black church goers in Charleston.

Haley was instrumental in making Trump's "America First" a topic among world leaders. The agenda was widely ridiculed by world leaders.

Haley was also leaking to the junk food media about the ineptness of leadership.

Haley is reportedly leaving the post at the end of the year.

"Nikki Haley, ambassador to the United Nations, has been very special to me," Trump told reporters Tuesday. "She's a fantastic person, very importantly, but she is also somebody who gets it."

Trump said Tuesday that Haley has "done an incredible job" as ambassador, adding that he would be happy to have her back in any capacity.

Haley was confirmed as U.N. ambassador in January 2017. Previously, she was the governor of South Carolina. Haley had been an early critic of Trump during his 2016 presidential campaign, calling him "everything a governor doesn't want in a president" in February 2016. Trump had publicly fired back at her jabs, tweeting in March 2016 that "the people of South Carolina are embarrassed" by her.

In a book, there were allegation that Trump and Haley were spending alot of time together behind closed doors.

Who knows?

Are you going to vote?

Yes

No

Trump's decision to appoint Haley to head the U.S. envoy to the U.N. was widely viewed as an olive branch to some of Trump's conservative critics. She has helped the Trump administration navigate some of its most controversial foreign policy endeavors related to North Korea and Russia.

Haley said Tuesday that she was a "lucky girl" to have been able to serve as South Carolina's governor and as U.N. ambassador.

"It has been an honor of a lifetime," she said in the Oval Office. "Look at what has happened in two years with the United States on foreign policy. Now, the United States is respected. Countries may not like what we do, but they respect what we do."

Spot The Difference!

Alexis Ohanian comes out swinging. He said that the way the junk food media treated his wife Serena Williams was disgraceful. He said that Brett Kavanaugh acting a fool is a textbook definition of "white male privilege."

Alexis Ohanian examines the reaction between U.S. women's tennis star Serena Williams lashing out at a referee and Supreme Court justice Brett Kavanaugh lashing out at Democratic senators during his confirmation hearing. He was not happy how the junk food media sensationalized his wife while rationalizing a man who was accused of sexual assault.

The difference is "BLACK WOMAN vs. WHITE."

It's not funny, it's bullshit. https://t.co/pYkmx4ufvI

— Alexis Ohanian Sr. 🚀 (@alexisohanian) October 7, 2018

Beta Brett:⁰+ Played the “father card”
+ Cried & screamed
+ Insulted everyone’s intelligence with lies about the definitions of phrases anyone with Google could debunk
+ Argued hysterically with sitting Senators, even going so far as to threaten them

— Alexis Ohanian Sr. 🚀 (@alexisohanian) October 7, 2018

Ohanian said that a man who yelled, cried, got all defensive was praised for his emotions. When a woman speaks out against a man, they are considered "bitchy."

Last month, Serena Williams was penalized by Carlos Ramos in the finals of the U.S. Women's Open. When she lashed out Ramos for being "sexist and a thief," he withdrew a point and it cost her the title. Her opponent, American Naomi Osaka, who represented Japan ended up winning. She became the first African-Asian American woman to win a title.

Williams, who was accused of receiving coaching during her final against Osaka, ultimately lost the match because of violations the umpire doled out in reaction to Williams defending herself.

Osaka's victory was widely ignored by the junk food media. They decided to focus on Williams reacting to the Ramos call. Many in the junk food media were calling Williams a "crybaby" and a "sore loser."

That's when this cartoonist decided to run his mouth.

Are you going to vote?

Yes

No

A New York Post and The Melbourne Morning Sun (Australia) cartoonist drew a nasty caricature of Williams losing. This a racist caricature of her and the cartoonist defend it. The tabloids are owned by New Fox, the Rupert Murdoch's companies that include Fox News and Fox Business.

Ohanian ended his thoughts by writing, “if you’re going to be a Supreme Court Justice ― a job that requires maintaining sober judgement ― it shouldn’t matter what questions you have to answer in your job interview, you keep it together.”

He also added that he looks “forward to the cartoon [Herald Sun editor Damon Johnson] puts on the front page about it.”

The Murdoch family is deep tied with Donald J. Trump. They are pretty much in the imbecile's ear.

With Bill Shine, Newt Gingrich and Sean "Softball" Hannity being the "brains" behind Donald J. Trump's tweets and agenda, the Republicans are motivated to win elections.

The echo chamber managed to get Republicans and one sole Demcorat to vote for a Supreme Court justice who was accused of sexual assault while under the influence of alcohol.

Kavanaugh was confirmed on Saturday. He was sworn in that night. He will have a celebratory swearing tonight at The White House.

Serena Williams and her sister Venus were vilified by the junk food media.

Last year, Venus Williams had complained about Ramos during the French Open. She was stripped of points and was penalized during her doubles match with Serena.

Remember the "White power" hand gesture.

Also Venus was accused of involuntary manslaughter for her accident in Florida. Her vehicle made a left turn in the middle of the road while the light turned red. Another car came through the intersection at 50 miles per hour crashing into her vehicle. The passenger in the vehicle died. He wasn't wearing a seatbelt. The family is trying to sue Williams for the accident.

This is how our Black women are treated. While a white man is reward a lifetime appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court, three women of color are demonized and vilified for speaking out against sexism and racism in the sports industry.

Serena and Venus Williams along with Naomi Osaka deserve respect.

Why can't the white privilege media agitators see that they have a voice at the table?

Democrats Abandon Joe Manchin!

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) decided to support the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh. Now they are paying the political price for this.

Democrats are seething with anger. They are so angry with Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV).

The West Virginia Democrat supported the Republicans in confirming Brett Kavanaugh. He was the sole Democrat who voted with the 50 Republicans to confirm this nominee who was accused of sexually assaulting women while under the influence of alcohol.

In order to save his pathetic ass, he voted for the nominee. He wanted to secure the votes of pro-Trump constituents.

It may have backfired.

Are you going to vote?

Yes

No

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), the most inept and political nauseating lawmaker in America said that the mission is to "win seats." He said he doesn't give a fuck.

If another Supreme Court Justice resigns or dies in term, Trump will nominate another one and McConnell will push it through even faster than Kavanaugh. McConnell denied Barack Obama his third pick for the Supreme Court. Now he's trying to play dirty bull.

Manchin may have shrunk his lead. He was leading by 8 points in most polls. Now it's considered a TOSS UP. The "hail Mary" play was a major fuck up.

Women who came into his office cried. They told him that as constituents they were too victims of sexual assault. He listened and told them he believed them. He didn't believe Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, the first of three accusers of Brett Kavanaugh.

West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrissey, a pro-Trump Republican challenges Joe Manchin.

MoveOn and Priorities USA have backed out the campaign of Manchin and Tennessee Democratic senatorial nominee Phil Bredesen.

Republicans stepped up fundraising for his opponent Patrick Morrisey, the controversial Attorney General is already attacking Manchin for being a "political weathervane."

The Republicans vow to go after red state Democrats. They have raised money to go after the conservative Democrats who voted to not confirm this nominee.

Rep. Kevin Crammer (R-ND) is trying to paint Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND) as a member of the political elite. Mind you he is a part of it as well.

Heitkamp voted NO along with Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT), Sen. Joe Donnelly (D-IN), and Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL). They are facing tough challengers. They hope that women and progressives turn out in their favor.

Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) is another embattled lawmaker. He also is facing a tough challenger but he might skirt through the election safely.

Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) is now facing the music as well. She is being criticized by women groups.

Collins also may face a primary challenge from conservative. She may face a challenge from former Obama National Security Adviser, Susan Rice.

The Quid Pro Quo Of Hope!

Fox News hired Hope Hicks.

Fox News hired former White House Communication Director Hope Hicks. She will be responsible for the press relations of New Fox, the spin-off of 21st Century Fox and Fox Television Group.

Disney is planning on buying the Fox Company and will acquire a handful of networks. The only thing Disney will not get is the Fox News Channel, the Fox Nation streaming service and Fox Business Network, Trump's favorite cable news channels.

Hicks who left the White House this year got a quid pro quo over at Fox. Hicks was the White House Communications Director from August 2017 to February 2018. She replaced Anthony Scaramucci, the former controversial Fox News pundit who held the position for only two weeks.

She will be heading to Los Angeles. She will be trained to learn the language to public relations. She will be doing crisis management.

New Fox will only be basically the right wing propaganda that helped Trump get elected. It was the propaganda to sway Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) into supporting Brett Kavanaugh, the newly minted Supreme Court nominee.

This deal will make The Walt Disney Co. one of the largest media conglomerates in the world.

This example of unethical behavior is an example of how Donald J. Trump and Rupert Murdoch can control the narrative.

Are you going to vote?

Yes

No

Her replacement is former Fox News co-president Bill Shine. He was fired out the cannon at Fox after he failed to investigate sexual harassment. He was also involved in numerous accusations.

Shine, Newt Gingrich and Sean "Softball" Hannity were huddling a strategy with Trump this past week. They are figuring out a strategy to rile up white people. The group of three are considered the "brains" behind Trump's tweets and agenda. The washed up politico, the disgraced Fox News co-president and the country's most annoying conservative agitator are advising Trump to discredit, lie and half-truth his statements. It's proven successful. Because of the "softball" treatment of Kavanaugh, the Republicans and one sole Democrat managed to confirm the most polarizing federal judge to the nation's top court.

Now the court could swing conservative for years. Republicans now are stepping up security in the wake of the confirmation. They are hoping to inspire their base to turn out for the Midterms.

Fox News and Trump have face scrutiny for years. The relationship between the far right network and former reality television star goes as far back in 2006. When Trump got on the soapbox to attack Rosie O'Donnell, the former host The View, the network was more than willing to give him an opportunity to bash O'Donnell.

When Barack Obama was running for his second term, Trump was constantly attacking him for not revealing his long-form birth certificate.Trump was calling Obama out for golf outings. He was bashing the former president for his handling of the economy, the assassination of Osama bin Laden (which interrupted his Celebrity Apprentice season finale) and people in the news.

Softball Hannity and Fox & Friends often allowed Trump to phone in interviews whenever he wanted to bash opponents. Throughout the election, Trump was calling in live bashing on Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), Jeb Bush, Carly Fiorina, John Kasich and Hillary Clinton.

Inside The GOP Locker Room!

SNL brutally mock Republicans for their shameful decision to confirm Brett Kavanaugh.

The Republicans are celebrating their successful confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.

The nomination was controversial and it has broken the nation.

Overwhelming majority of Americans and women strongly disapprove of this decision to confirm the former Washington, DC appellate judge.

After a bombshell revelation of sexual assault from three women came forth, Republicans and Democrats battled over the allegations.

The first accuser Dr. Christine Blasey Ford claimed that in 1982, Kavanaugh and his friend tried to sexually assaulted her. She testified at the Senate under oath saying the allegations were true. Kavanaugh went under oath and immediately attacked the accuser, the Democrats and the Clintons. The testimony was a disgrace.

So in the final week of confirmation, the White House ordered a FBI probe that limited its scope. The accuser and two others weren't interviewed. It only talked to a few handpicked witnesses.

When the report came out, Republicans demanded the information was kept confidential and limited to a few pages. It was only seen for a few hours and both sides were told not to disclose the information.

By the end of the week, the Republicans managed to whip up 50 Republicans and the lone Democrat being Joe Manchin of West Virginia to confirm this nominee.

By 4pm, the Republicans achieved the goal of swinging the court for generations.

Donald J. Trump, an inept and incompetent leader managed to bring Republicans to the ballot box. Now Democrats got to be inspired to vote to send the Republican Party back to the minority.

Are you going to vote?

No

The folks over at SNL decided to go into the GOP Locker Room.

Bellaire Police Hired Dirty Cop Who Killed Tamir Rice!

Ohio village hires that dirty cop that murdered Tamir Rice.

The disgraced cop who killed Tamir Rice was hired in an Ohio town. He will be a part-time officer for the village of Bellaire, Ohio, a suburb of Wheeling, West Virginia.

Timothy Loehmann, the former Cleveland cop who shot and killed Tamir Rice while he was playing with a toy gun in a local park was given a new gig in the town of 3,200 residents.

Loehmann who was considered unfit to be a lawman was hired by the Cleveland Police after he faked his profile. He was forced to leave the city of Independence when he failed to live up to their expectations as a police officer.

His life mattered.

Loehmann was never charged with any criminal counts. It lead to widespread protests and condemnation from civil rights leaders.

The Bellaire Police chief, Richard "Dick" Flanagan confirmed on Friday that they had this dirty cop on the payroll. The dirty police chief thinks everyone deserves a second chance.

Yeah. Fuck that.

Are you going to vote?

Yes

No

Anyway until Election Day, we are going to do a poll. Are you going to vote in the Midterms?

Dirty Cop Served In Lequan McDonald Murder!

Dirty cop convicted for second degree murder of Laquan McDonald.

Rarely cops are convicted on murder charges. Donald J. Trump is by far the most polarizing person to ever be in the White House. His legacy will forever be tarnished by scandal.

Jason Van Dyke, the dirty cop who shot and killed Laquan McDonald in 2014 has been convicted of his murder. The city of Chicago was preparing for a massive outpouring of anger if the cop was acquitted of the murder.

The former Chicago Police officer was ten feet from Laquan. According to reports, Lequan was acting erratically while walking down the street and was holding a folding knife.

The police internal review said that it was a justified killing.

Heading to the iron college.

When the dash camera video was released 13 months later, the video showed this dirty cop shot Laquan from a distance. Van Dyke was soon indicted on first degree murder and was held without a get out free card.

Van Dyke was charged on six counts of first degree murder. It was reduced to second degree murder.

This conviction will put him in the iron college for 5 to 30 years in the iron college.

Are you going to vote?

Yes

No

The trial lasted about month and was highly polarizing. The police union claimed that the junk food media and Black activists railroaded a "good cop" doing his job.

Rahm Emmanuel, the embattled mayor announced he was no longer seeking reelection after two terms riddled with scandal. Cook County prosecutor Anita Alvarez was ousted in a primary. Garry McCarthy, the Police Superintendent of the Chicago Police was fired out the cannon.

Three dirty cops were charged with federal conspiracy charges and attempted obstruction of justice.

Will there ever be justice for people of color?

Van Dyke went for the "I feared for my life defense."

During closing arguments, prosecutor Jody Gleason noted that Van Dyke had old detectives tell him that Lequan raided the knife, the dirty cop backpedaled. The claims of Laquan trying to rush him were proven false.

He basically lied because the dash cam showed something different.

The dirty cop shot Laquan 16 times. That was no accident. His lawyers will appeal the pending sentence.

Kavanaugh Confirmed!

Despite the outcry, Trump gets his pick confirmed to the Supreme Court.

The Republicans score a victory despite major outcry. With Susan Collins and Joe Manchin's deciding vote, Donald J. Trump gets Brett Kavanaugh a spot on The Supreme Court.

The longtime Maine Republican senator and West Virginia Democratic senator ignored the concerns of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, Deborah Ramirez and Julie Swetnik. They decided that despite the outcry of sexual assault victims, they believe Kavanaugh was given unfair treatment.

They didn't even give him a proper FBI investigation. They rushed this nomination through without even knowing his background.

Now the inept Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) will have enough votes to confirm this disgrace.

Are you going to vote?

Yes

No

We see the consequences of not voting.

They will have their final words before they press through the voting process. Many Americans highly disapprove of Kavanaugh and the way Republicans rammed this through.

This brings an end to months of bitter partisan feuding marked by shocking allegations of sexual assault and vehement and angry denials from the nominee who is now set to become the newest high court justice.

Here's a recap of the events.

Joe Manchin: I Never Said I'm A Democrat! I Am A West Virginian!

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) is more of a Republican than a Democrat. He and Sen. Shelly Moore Capito (R-WV) represent the poorest state in the country.

Thank you Lisa Murkowski and Heidi Heitkamp for your brave votes. We need more candidates like you in the Senate. Hopefully Heitkamp could beat Rep. Kevin Cramer (R-ND). Cramer is trying to milk on Kavanaugh in his attempt to unseat her in a closely watched senate race.

To end cloture the majority needs 51 votes. If they end up with 50 votes, then Mike Pence could break the tie. The sole Democrat along with 50 Republicans went forth to end the filibuster. They are going to vote on the confirmation of Donald J. Trump's controversial pick for the Supreme Court.

Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND) and Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) have confirmed that they're going to be a NO vote on Brett Kavanaugh.

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) is YES vote.

Progressives are fed up with Manchin. I agree with them. I am sick and tired of these "red state" Democrats ruining the momentum. If Manchin votes with the Republicans, then it's curtains for our chances of taking back the House and Senate.

West Virginia has the worst mortality rate in the nation. It's the number one state when it comes to healthcare, heroin, lack of education and lack of appeal.

Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) and Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) are a YES vote.

So on Saturday, the Senate will make the final decision to confirm this nominee. If the Democrats do stand firm they could impale the nomination with two Republicans.

'
