BREAKING: Democrat Senator Joe Manchin Will Vote YES to Confirm Kavanaugh Tomorrowhttps://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2018/10/breaking-democrat-senator-joe-manchin-will-vote-yes-to-confirm-kavanaugh-tomorrow/
Not to be gloomy in the face of what appears to be a done deal finally -- but we have an enormously heavy burden to pray for those would would vote "yes " in the next 24 hours...in planes or elsewhere...it would seem their lives are in jeopardy. Be aware. Be very aware! They have nothing to lose at this point...in more ways than one.
A friend of Christine Blasey Ford told the FBI that allies of the college professor, who accused Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her, pressured her to revise her earlier statement that she knew nothing about the alleged incident, according to a report.
Leland Keyser, who Ford has said was present at the house when she was assaulted in 1982, told investigators that retired FBI agent Monica McLean, a friend of Ford’s, had urged her to clarify her statement, sources told the Wall Street Journal.
Keyser, a classmate of Ford, originally wrote to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Sept. 23 she “does not know Mr. Kavanaugh and she has no recollection of ever being at a party or gathering where he was present.”
After the Supreme Court nominee and his accuser testified in front of the committee last week, Keyser wrote a letter to the panel dated Sept. 29 in which she said she did not refute Ford’s claim, but “is unable to corroborate it because she has no recollection of the incident in question,” according to CNN.
The FBI, which sent a report Thursday about its additional background probe on Kavanaugh, later provided the White House and Senate with additional material that included text messages from McLean to Keyser, a person familiar with the matter told the Journal.
McLean’s lawyer, David Laufman, said in a statement: “Any notion or claim that Ms. McLean pressured Leland Keyser to alter Ms. Keyser’s account of what she recalled concerning the alleged incident between Dr. Ford and Brett Kavanaugh is absolutely false.”
A source close to the classmates told the paper that it was her understanding that mutual friends of Ford and Keyser — including McLean — warned Keyser that her initial statement was being used by Republicans to rebut the accusation against Kavanaugh.
The friends told Keyser that if she had meant to say she didn’t recall the party — not that it had never taken place — that she should clarify her statement, the person said, adding that the pals hadn’t “pressured” Keyser.
Keyser attorney Howard Walsh declined to comment to the Journal. The FBI also declined to comment on the probe.
I know too much that others don’t know,” Kelly said after the mag asked if she thought Lauer could make a comeback from his epic sexual misconduct scandal.
The comment did not go over well with some veterans at NBC.
“There were a lot of eye rolls. What does she really know? She’s not close to anyone here,” scoffed an insider.
The insider added, “She’s milking the #MeToo movement. People are counting down the days until she’s gone.”
Kelly went on, “All I’m going to say is that I feel very strongly about the #MeToo coverage, the importance of doing it without fear or favor.”
A source close to Kelly said they believe staffers sympathetic to Lauer were behind our insider’s Kelly diss.
An NBC rep added: “Whoever is saying this is trying to start a war that doesn’t exist. Her show is empowering and engaging, and we’re especially proud of her coverage of . . . #MeToo.”
@NewInsideOut I've been thinking the same thing. We know how evil some are and to what ends they'll go.

Known for
Co-chair of the 2017 Women's March
Sarsour was co-chair of the 2017 Women's March and of the 2017 Day Without a Woman strike and protest. Her involvement in the Women's March resulted in increased media attention along with social-media attacks that caused concern for her safety. She has faced criticism from pro-Israel Democrats, conservatives, and Jewish groups for her stance on Israel, including her support for the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement. Sarsour has stated that she supports a one-state solution to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict in which Israelis and Palestinians would coexist "with peace and justice and equality for all".[2]
Born in Brooklyn, New York, Sarsour is the oldest of seven children of Palestinian immigrants.[2] She was raised in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, and went to John Jay High School in Park Slope. Sarsour was married in an arranged marriage at the age of 17 and had three children by her mid-20s.[1][3][4] Both Sarsour's family and her husband are from the Palestinian city of Al-Bireh—in the West Bank, and about 9 miles (14 km) north of Jerusalem.[5]
After high school, she took courses at Kingsborough Community College and Brooklyn College with the goal of becoming an English teacher.[6] As of 2011 Sarsour lives in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn.[2]
Sarsour's early activism included defending the civil rights of American Muslims following the September 11 attacks of 2001.[4][7] Shortly before 9/11, Basemah Atweh, a relative and founder of the Arab American Association of New York, asked Sarsour to volunteer for the organization.[1] Atweh, who held a prominent political role uncommon for a Muslim woman, became Sarsour's mentor.[6]
When Sarsour and Atweh were returning from the 2005 gala opening of the Arab American National Museum in Dearborn, Michigan, their car was struck by a tractor-trailer. Atweh died of her injuries, and two other passengers suffered from broken bones. Sarsour, who was driving, was not seriously injured.[1][6] She returned to work immediately, saying of Atweh, "This is where she wanted me to be".[1] She was named to succeed Atweh as executive director of the association at age 25. Over the next several years she expanded the scope of the organization, building its budget from $50,000 to $700,000 annually.[1][6]
Sarsour has gained attention for protesting police surveillance of Muslim Americans.[4][7][8] As director of the Arab American Association of New York, she advocated for passage of the Community Safety Act in New York, which created an independent office to review police policy and expanded the definition of bias-based profiling in New York. She and the organization pressed for the law after instances of what they saw as biased policing in local neighborhoods, and it passed over the objections of then-Mayor Michael Bloomberg and then-Police Chief Raymond W. Kelly.[6]
I told Hillary in 2016.....that if she wanted my vote... it was gonna cost $500,000.

Following the shooting of Michael Brown, Sarsour helped to organize the American Muslim community's response as well as the wider Black Lives Matter protests. Sarsour helped form "Muslims for Ferguson", and she traveled to Ferguson with other activists in 2014.[6][12] She has continued to work extensively with BLM ever since.[4][13]
In August 2017 Sarsour spoke at the "United We Stand" rally in front of NFL headquarters in New York in support of Colin Kaepernick.[14][15]
Democratic Party involvement
In 2016 Sarsour ran for a position as a County Committee member with the Democratic Party of Kings County, New York.[16] She placed third.[17]
Sarsour spoke as a surrogate for U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders during the 2016 presidential campaign.[3][18]
2017 Women's March and later activism
Teresa Shook and Bob Bland, organizers of the 2017 Women's March, recruited Sarsour as co-chair of the event, to be held the day after Donald Trump's inauguration as president.[19] According to Politico, Sarsour had by then become the controversial "face of the resistance" to Trump:
@retiredDep. I believe I'm missing something. Are you quoting someone else? Who?
What about 40 first dates?
Wiki
The controversy may have been intensified by an exchange between Sarsour and a student activist at Dartmouth College that circulated widely on social media. The student had questioned Sarsour about a controversial, deleted tweet referring to Somali-born activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Brigitte Gabriel, leader of the lobbying group ACT! for America. Conservative media outlets emphasized the fact that Sarsour objected to a "white man" raising such a question at the event, which was held to honor Asian Pacific American Heritage Month.[23]
The tweet, in which Sarsour wrote of Ali and Gabriel, "She's asking 4 an a$$ whippin'. I wish I could take their vaginas away - they don't deserve to be women", was circulated by Sarsour's critics as apparent proof of her intolerant views.[23] She had debated both women on radio or television and said that the dispute centered on Ali's and Gabriel's promotion of the idea that Islam is a misogynistic religion.[4] In response, Ali called Sarsour a "fake feminist" and a "defender of sharia law",[4][48] and The New York Times columnist Bari Weiss criticized Sarsour for making "common cause with anti-feminists".[49]
