Accuser’s Ex-Best Friend Throws Huge Monkey Wrench
BY CILLIAN ZEAL
Is the latest Brett Kavanaugh accuser motivated by politics? At least one former best friend of hers may have thought so.
Yale graduate and Colorado resident Deborah Ramirez became the second person to officially go on record and accuse President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee of sexual impropriety, this time in an article published by The New Yorker Sunday.
“For Ramirez, the sudden attention has been unwelcome, and prompted difficult choices,” the piece reads. “She was at first hesitant to speak publicly, partly because her memories contained gaps because she had been drinking at the time of the alleged incident.
“In her initial conversations with The New Yorker, she was reluctant to characterize Kavanaugh’s role in the alleged incident with certainty. After six days of carefully assessing her memories and consulting with her attorney, Ramirez said that she felt confident enough of her recollections to say that she remembers Kavanaugh had exposed himself at a drunken dormitory party, thrust his penis in her face, and caused her to touch it without her consent as she pushed him away.”
Pretty awful stuff — and much like Kavanaugh’s other accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, there wasn’t anything resembling corroboration anywhere in the piece. And, in fact, there were some pretty damning things about the accuser in there, including a possible claim that she was making the allegation for political reasons.
One thing is undoubtedly true: The New York story has made Ramirez an unlikely international figure. Getting profiled by the U.K. Daily Mail isn’t something that happens to most ordinary Americans.

Who is Deborah Ramirez? Brett Kavanaugh's second accuser revealed
Deborah Ramirez has alleged that U.S. Supreme Court nominee exposed himself to her during a college party at Yale University in the 1980s. Here's all about who she is.

The suggestion that there might have been politics involved with Ramirez’s accusation came the wife of one of the students Ramirez claimed egged Kavanaugh on. She was also a good friend of Ramirez and told The News Yorker she was surprised at her account.
“The former friend who was married to the male classmate alleged to be involved, and who signed the statement, said of Ramirez, ‘This is a woman I was best friends with. We shared intimate details of our lives. And I was never told this story by her, or by anyone else. It never came up. I didn’t see it; I never heard of it happening,’” the story read.
“She said she hadn’t spoken with Ramirez for about ten years, but that the two women had been close all through college, and Kavanaugh had remained part of what she called their ‘larger social circle,'” the writers, Jane Mayer and Ronan Farrow, added.
“In an initial conversation with The New Yorker, she suggested that Ramirez may have been politically motivated. Later, she said that she did not know if this was the case.”
This is a pretty serious claim, something a lot of people on social media noticed.

Deborah Ramirez's best friend says Ramirez never told her about this incident and "suggested that Ramirez may have been politically motivated."

And, of course, the political dimensions to the Kavanaugh nomination are huge — which is why some Republican senators viewed as wavering are being targeted for pressure.

One does not necessarily dismiss sexual assault allegations as politically motivated lightly. This is especially true if the accuser was one of your best friends. That’s a huge monkey wrench in this whole narrative.
Yes, her husband was implicated in the story of the alleged assault, so take that as you will. However, the fact that the accuser was also one of the woman’s best friends would also lead most people to think that Ramirez would have mentioned something to her about her significant long before a story was about to be published in The New Yorker.
The case is the same as with Christine Blasey Ford — there’s no corroboration and everyone contacted seems to indicate they had no direct knowledge of the assault or that they didn’t believe it happened. In fact, one kind of wonders why The New Yorker even decided to go ahead with this, considering how flimsy the whole narrative is.
In both cases, too, we have a political conflict of interest.
Ford was known as a liberal political activist, as Breitbart News reported last week. Judging by the reaction of one of Ramirez’s ex-friends, we can imagine there might be a similar situation there.
In a situation where character and motivation are major factors in adjudging these allegations, that could be a serious issue — particularly given the fact that there’s not a whole lot of other evidence to back it up.

Nikki Haley: John Kerry’s Secret Talks With Iran are ‘Anti-American’
BY: Paul Crookston
United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley on Wednesday criticized former Secretary of State John Kerry for his secret meetings with the Iranian regime about the nuclear deal.
The Trump administration pulled out of the Iran nuclear agreement in May, saying it was fundamentally flawed and slapping sanctions back on the Iranian regime. This undid one of the Obama administration's signature achievements, and Kerry has responded by engaging in rogue diplomacy with the Iranians to salvage the deal.
"What Secretary Kerry did was not only disrespectful, it was hurtful to America," Haley told Fox News. "When we are sitting there trying to get Iran to come to the table in a way that they understand that the ballistic missile testing has to stop, the support of terrorism has to stop, they have to quit selling arms to the Houthis–to have another American go in and say, ‘Don’t worry about it,' that absolutely is anti-American."
Kerry said he met Iranian Former Minister Javad Zarif in Norway, Munich, and other international forums.
At stake is the cash flow the Iranians have benefitted from thanks to the deal. Leaders of European nations in the deal have stayed in, but U.S. sanctions are pushing against the Iranians’ interests, and Haley said Kerry was anti-American for trying to convince the Iranians that the U.S. will eventually back down.
Haley said Kerry's actions were "hurtful to the American people" and added that if "Secretary Kerry was secretary of state, he would not want anyone doing that."
She slammed European leaders for their attempts to save the deal by getting money to Iran, but she argued it wouldn’t work because businesses are avoiding Iran because of its corruption.
"The European Union has this so wrong, and it’s all because of their ego and their pride," Haley said.
European companies don't want to do business with Iran because they "get who they’re dealing with," Haley said.
Asked about former National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger’s activities overseas, Haley said he operates with openness toward the administration and support for America.
"[Kissinger] never goes out of the country without telling our administration. When he comes back, he tells our administration. He works with us and tells us what he’s doing all the time," she said, noting they didn’t know about Kerry’s meetings with the Iranians.
"Dr. Kissinger, you never have to worry that he’s not on America’s side," she added.

The Trump Doctrine
George Rasley, CHQ Editor
While the establishment media and self-appointed pundits focused on the U.N. audience reaction to President Trump’s truthful boast that “In less than two years, my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country…” they missed the most important part of the President’s remarks – the announcement of what might be called the Trump doctrine.
What the President said that was so important was this:
We are also standing up for our citizens and for peace loving people everywhere. We believe that when nations respect the rights of their neighbors and defend the interests of their people, they can better work together to secure the blessings of safety, prosperity, and peace. Each of us here today is the emissary of a distinct culture, a rich history, and a people bound together by ties of memory, tradition, and the values that make our homelands like nowhere else on Earth.
That is why America will always choose independence and cooperation over global governance, and I honor the right of every nation in this room to pursue its own customs, beliefs and traditions. The United States will not tell you how to live, work, or worship. We only ask that you honor our sovereignty in return.
Contrast President Trump’s articulation of American foreign policy and international relations to how former President George W. Bush stated his 2002 national security strategy:
The great struggles of the 20th century between liberty and totalitarianism ended with a decisive victory for the forces of freedom — and a single sustainable model for national success: freedom, democracy and free enterprise.
These values of freedom are right and true for every person, in every society — and the duty of protecting these values against their enemies is the common calling of freedom-loving people across the globe and across the ages.
In directly rejecting global governance and clearly embracing non-intervention President Trump announced what may be the most libertarian foreign policy since George Washington admonished Americans to avoid foreign entanglements:
Harmony, liberal intercourse with all nations, are recommended by policy, humanity, and interest. But even our commercial policy should hold an equal and impartial hand; neither seeking nor granting exclusive favors or preferences; consulting the natural course of things; diffusing and diversifying by gentle means the streams of commerce, but forcing nothing; establishing (with powers so disposed, in order to give trade a stable course, to define the rights of our merchants, and to enable the government to support them) conventional rules of intercourse, the best that present circumstances and mutual opinion will permit, but temporary, and liable to be from time to time abandoned or varied, as experience and circumstances shall dictate; constantly keeping in view that it is folly in one nation to look for disinterested favors from another; that it must pay with a portion of its independence for whatever it may accept under that character; that, by such acceptance, it may place itself in the condition of having given equivalents for nominal favors, and yet of being reproached with ingratitude for not giving more. There can be no greater error than to expect or calculate upon real favors from nation to nation. It is an illusion, which experience must cure, which a just pride o
ught to discard…It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world…
However, President Trump, contrary to the criticism of some on the Right, did not embrace isolationism – far from it.
The President made a strong case for ratcheting-up sanctions against Iran and stated clearly that:
We cannot allow the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism to possess the planet’s most dangerous weapons. We cannot allow a regime that chants “Death to America” and threatens Israel with annihilation. They cannot possess the means to deliver a nuclear warhead to any city on Earth, we just cannot do it. We ask all nations to isolate Iran’s regime as long as its aggression continues and we ask all nations to support Iran’s people as they struggle to reclaim their religious and righteous destiny.
And he also announced new sanctions against the thugocracy in Venezuela, while warning the Syrian regime against further use of chemical weapons in its ongoing civil war.
The President called his doctrine a “policy of principled realism” that could be applied not just to matters of war and peace, but also to commercial relations, saying:
This true, not only in matters of peace, but in matters of prosperity. We believe that trade must be fair and reciprocal. The United States will not be taken advantage of any longer. For decades, the United States opened its economy, the largest by far on Earth, with few conditions.
President Trump concluded that section of his remarks by saying, “…those days are over. We will no longer tolerate such abuse. We will not allow our workers to be victimized, our companies to be cheated, and our wealth to be plundered and transferred. America will never apologize for protecting its citizens.”
While the Left and the globalist leaders of other countries were predictably critical, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, "In over 30 years in my experience with the UN, I never heard a bolder or more courageous speech… President Trump spoke the truth about the great dangers facing our world and issued a powerful call to confront them in order to ensure the future of humanity."
President Trump’s remarks at the UN were noteworthy, not so much for their radical departure from the interventionist policies of the two Bush presidents, and their rejection of the weakness and globalism of Obama, but for their return to the principles of George Washington.
