In a response to an allegation that he assaulted a “gay Latino immigrant,” Fox News host Tucker Carlson says that the man actually accosted his teenage daughter at a Virginia country club and called her a “whore.”

The accusation comes from (of course) lawyer Michael Avenatti, who posted a video of Carlson telling someone to “get the f— out of here.”

Avenatti claimed that the video was the aftermath of an assault against the gay Latino man, and it didn’t take too much subtext to figure out why Avenatti would be claiming Carlson assaulted the man.

“We are investigating an alleged assault on a gay latino immigrant committed by T. Carlson and/or members of his inner circle at a club in VA in Oct. It likely includes underage drinking in violation of VA law,” Avenatti tweeted Saturday. WARNING: Bad language ahead. Viewer discretion advised.

“We are attempting to locate additional witnesses and to identify those depicted in the video,” he continued. “In particular, we need assistance identifying the balding man that grabs the man seated at the bar. We anticipate charges being filed. Anyone with knowledge, pls contact us.”

Right, “we anticipate charges being filed,” just like Julie Swetnick. Avenatti, it must be noted, has clashed with Carlson before; the Fox News host has dubbed Stormy Daniels’ omnipresent counselor the “creepy porn lawyer.”

Perhaps not surprisingly, Carlson has a significantly different story regarding the video.

“On October 13, I had dinner with two of my children and some family friends at the Farmington Country Club in Charlottesville, Virginia,” Carlson said in a statement to The Hill.

“Toward the end of the meal, my 19-year-old daughter went to the bathroom with a friend. On their way back through the bar, a middle aged man stopped my daughter and asked if she was sitting with Tucker Carlson. My daughter had never seen the man before. She answered: ‘That’s my dad,’ and pointed to me. The man responded, ‘Are you Tucker’s whore?’ He then called her a ‘f— c—.’”

“My daughter returned to the table in tears,” the statement continues. “She soon left the table and the club. My son, who is also a student, went into the bar to confront the man. I followed. My son asked the man if he’d called his sister a ‘whore’ and a ‘c—.’ The man admitted he had, and again become profane. My son threw a glass of red wine in the man’s face and told him to leave the bar, which he soon did.

“Immediately after the incident, I described these events to the management of the Farmington Country Club,” Carlson continued. “The club spent more than three weeks investigating the incident. Last week, they revoked the man’s membership and threw him out of the club.

“I love my children,” he noted. “It took enormous self-control not to beat the man with a chair, which is what I wanted to do. I think any father can understand the overwhelming rage and shock that I felt seeing my teenage daughter attacked by a stranger.

“But I restrained myself. I did not assault this man, and neither did my son,” Carlson’s statement concludes. “That is a lie. Nor did I know the man was gay or Latino, not that it would have mattered. What happened on October 13 has nothing to do with identity politics. It was a grotesque violation of decency. I’ve never seen anything like it in my life.”

Avenatti, predictably, continued to go after Carlson on Twitter, claiming none of what Carlson said ever happened and that Carlson was intoxicated. (Carlson says he quit drinking over a decade and a half ago.)

1/3 – @TuckerCarlson – your stmt about what transpired is an absolute lie. Your daughter nor your son were called those things. The man never admitted it. Your son committed assault and battery. You committed assault (learn the difference). Your friend” committed assault…

— Michael Avenatti (@MichaelAvenatti) November 10, 2018

2/3 – and battery (on video). You are the aggressor in the video as is your friend. The man at the bar sits there calmly. Numerous witnesses contradict your claim of innocence. Your daughter was drinking underage in a bar with your assistance and knowledge. You were intoxicated.

— Michael Avenatti (@MichaelAvenatti) November 10, 2018

3/3 – You told the man to “go back where you came from” before the video starts. And if you were so innocent, why didn’t you disclose it weeks ago as you recently did in connection with the protest at your home?

— Michael Avenatti (@MichaelAvenatti) November 10, 2018

At this point, I find it odd that anyone would believe a client of Michael Avenatti’s.

Between Stormy Daniels, Julie Swetnick and pretty much everyone he represents, it seems like the only kind of person who would choose Avenatti would be the sort of individual who knows they don’t have a case, but wants attention anyway.

After all, if the facts were really on one’s side, literally any lawyer would be better than Avenatti. We don’t know the facts here just yet, but what we do know is the creepy porn lawyer’s history.

This week’s midterm elections have seen many women making history in their states. But some won’t be given any media recognition for their achievements, simply because they are Republicans.

The biased reporting from the establishment media shows how liberal feminism isn’t really about equality.  It’s about furthering leftist ideas under the guise of “women’s rights,” while tearing down or ignoring women with non-liberal views.

Here are some of the Republican women who scored wins in Tuesday’s election.

On Tuesday, voters put Californian Young Kim on the verge of became the first Korean-American woman elected to Congress, the Golden State’s 39th Congressional District. An immigrant from South Korea, Kim lived in Guam and Hawaii before moving to California to attend the University of Southern California, according to NBC News.

A self-made businesswoman, she managed a clothing manufacturing firm before starting her own business in the same line.

She spent 21 years working for GOP Rep. Ed Royce, starting when he was a state senator. Working in Royce’s office, she built up experience in the district as a director of community and Asian affairs and in 2014 she became the first Korean-American Republican woman to win a seat in the California House.

She is leading the race for Congress, but it hadn’t been called yet, according to Fox News.

Tennessee just elected its first female senator ever, despite the efforts of liberals and celebrities like Taylor Swift. Former Rep. Marsha Blackburn, who represented Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District, is known for her staunch conservative views, supporting traditional marriage and the pro-life movement.

According to her website, Blackburn has also focused on fighting human trafficking. She was at the forefront of the crusade to shut down backpage.com, a website which was investigated and found to have facilitated human trafficking.

South Dakota also welcomed its first female governor on Tuesday.  Republican Kristi Noem served previously in the South Dakota House of Representatives before her gubernatorial run.

Before politics, she helped run her family’s farm while building up college credits, according to an interview with Human Events.

Her time as a state representative saw her opposing Medicaid expansion in her state, with a focus on cutting taxes. She also promoted legislation to fight sexual slavery and is strongly pro-life. According to The Wall Street Journal, she has promised to maintain a 100 percent pro-life voting record in Congress.

In Iowa, Republican Kim Reynolds, the first female governor of the state, won a full term, sending local Democrats into a tizzy.

According to the Des Moines Register, Iowa Democrats found her win against her male opponent “confusing” and “unbelievable.”

Reynolds, the former lieutenant governor who became governor in 2017 when former Gov. Terry Branstaad was appointed U.S. ambassador to China, has helped bring to fruition one of the country’s most restrictive anti-abortion laws, according to the Des Moines Register. The law prohibits most abortions when a heartbeat can be detected.

While this election has been characterized by the media’s focus on demographics, little attention has been given to the wins these women achieved.

The same liberals who applaud the what they see as forward thinking by Democratic voters usefully ignore the trailblazing done by Republican women this election cycle.

But Republican women make history, too.

The newest savior for the left.

Via Circa:

Ruth Bader Ginsburg has held many titles over the years: professor, judge, Supreme Court justice. But in recent years, she’s taken on a new title — pop culture icon.

At the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles, exhibition curators sought to celebrate that influence by creating a multisensory exhibit looking at the life, career, and cultural influence of the woman dubbed “Notorious RBG.”

Justice Ginsburg has transcended her role on the bench to affect America in even more ways — inspiring art, movies, fashion, and even internet memes.

This was thanks in large part to a popular Tumblr page titled “Notorious RBG,” which paid tribute to the justice’s fiery dissents behind the Supreme Court bench by comparing her to fellow Brooklyn native, the rapper Notorious B.I.G.

After every tragic crime, the left reliably plays the only tune they seem to know: Guns are to blame.

Yet more and more, people aren’t accepting that narrative. In the city of Thousand Oaks, California — the location of a recent mass shooting — many residents aren’t blaming firearms for crime. Instead, they’re buying one themselves.

On Wednesday, a shocking incident rocked Thousand Oaks and the nation. A 29-year-old man walked into a popular bar and opened fire with a handgun, leaving 12 people, including a sheriff’s deputy, dead.

California has some of the strictest gun laws in America, and the bar was already a “gun-free zone.” None of this, of course, stopped the madman, and it seems that even on the west coast people are embracing self defense over gun control.

According to USA Today, VC Defense — the only gun store in Thousand Oaks — has seen an influx of people who want to purchase firearms in the wake of the mass shooting.

“(Brandon) Simone, 35, is a single father who previously vowed never to have a gun in the same home as his kid,” explained USA Today about one of those new customers. “But while his teenage son Ethan skateboarded outside, he asked the shop’s owner what he needed to do to buy a 9-millimeter pistol.”

The national newspaper also profiled a young woman named Molly, who expressed the same thing. The tragic shooting motivated her to understand guns, not reject them.

“For John Von Colln, VC Defense’s proprietor, the duo were among an unusually steady stream of customers that day,” USA Today explained. “Many of them expressed the same sentiment: they had come to the gun store because no place feels safe anymore, and they felt ill-equipped to confront the next mass shooter or armed home invader.”

A USA Today reporter named Gus Garcia-Roberts stayed inside VC Defense for several hours, noting the kinds of people who came in. What he saw won’t surprise most conservatives, but it does go against the frequent narrative. Gun owners don’t fit the liberal redneck stereotype.

“Some were small business-owners suddenly feeling vulnerable. Many were first-time buyers suddenly seeking weapons for self-defense,” stated the national newspaper.

“A banker wearing business casual, designer glasses and a gold Rolex inquired about concealing a sidearm under a tucked-in dress shirt,” it continued.

A firearms trainer and former corrections officer named Mike Rowan confirmed that despite the image projected by the media, gun owners come in all types.

“Rowan described a discreet, and distinctly Californian, clientele,” wrote Garcia-Roberts. “They pull up to his range in Priuses and Teslas and never tell their friends they own a gun.”

“I get a lot of closet liberals, people who normally would never want anything to do with a firearm, and I train them and they secretly own firearms,” Rowan said.

As the reporter pointed out, VC Defense was busier than ever, and a lot of its new patrons kept bringing up the same topic: How California’s laws failed to stop the bar attack.

“As new customers cycled through the store, the constant chatter—besides general expressions of hatred for the shooter—was about the six unarmed, off-duty law enforcement officers who were reportedly at the bar during the shooting,” the reporter wrote. “Their lack of weapons was a presumed consequence of a California law barring firearms in bars.”

Every sane person is saddened and outraged when an incident like the Thousand Oaks shooting happens. But there are two ways to respond: Pretend that more laws in an already law-filled state will stop the next crime, or face reality and become responsible and prepared to face threats.

It’s refreshing that more people are deciding on the latter. Violent crime will never be eradicated, but it can be opposed and stopped when it happens.

Border Patrol agents witnessed a 378 percent increase in the number of migrants families in October compared to the same month in 2017.

The October Southwest Border Migration Report released by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) revealed a 378 percent increase in the number of Family Unit Aliens (FMUA) apprehended by Border Patrol agents between ports of entry when compared to the same month in 2017. The number of FMUA apprehensions rose from 4,836 in October 2017 to 23,121 in October 2018.

The El Paso Sector witnessed the largest percentage increase in FMUA apprehensions — 2,236 percent. The number of apprehensions in the El Paso Sector jumped from 212 in October 2017 to 5,185 last month. The sector also reported a near 300 percent increase in the number of Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) in October over the prior year’s report.

The Rio Grande Valley Sector saw the greatest number of increased FMUA apprehensions. In October 2017, agents arrested or apprehended 2,923 family units. That jumped to 11,528 in October 2018 — an increase of 294 percent. This sector also reported an increase of UAC apprehensions from 1,463 in October 2017 to 2,310 in the same month this year.

The Tucson and San Diego Sectors also witnessed increases of nearly 600 percent, the report states. The Tucson Sector jumped from 172 family units to 1,163 (584 percent) while the San Diego Sector jumped from 172 to 1,152 (570 percent).

With the exception of the Big Bend Sector, each of the remaining eight Border Patrol sectors reported increases in FMUA apprehensions of 198 percent or more. The Big Bend sector actually reported a decrease of 84 percent compared to October 2017.

Guatemala lead the nations sending family units to the U.S. with 11,376 reported in October. Honduras followed with 8,419, El Salvador with 2,632, and Mexico with 255. Nations sending unaccompanied minors followed a similar order — Guatemala (2,130), Honduras (1,222), Mexico (873), and El Salvador (636).

In total, Border Patrol agents apprehended 50,975 migrants who illegally crossed the border between ports of entry between Brownsville, Texas, and San Diego, California.

 

On Saturday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Cavuto Live,” RNC Chair Ronna Romney McDaniel stated that Democrats have expressed concern about “election meddling and collusion,” and “it is happening right now in Florida, in two of the major Democrat counties, and Democrats are nowhere to be found.”

McDaniel said, “I don’t know if it’s incompetence or if it’s intent. Because to have the Palm Beach County supervisor now defy a court order, when they said they’re in violation of the state constitution, and then not give those vote totals last night, what is going on in Florida? You know, you have Democrats concerned about election meddling and collusion, and we are too, as Republicans. But it is happening right now in Florida, in two of the major Democrat counties, and Democrats are nowhere to be found.”

She later added, “[I]f they win an election through corrupt meddling or validating invalid signatures, that’s not a way to win an election.”

Say “No” to Nanny Bloomberg
by Michelle Malkin
Creators Syndicate
Copyright 2018

No matter how politically fractured the nation may seem, I believe that liberty-loving citizens of all ideologies can unite and agree:

Billionaire Nanny Michael Bloomberg — the soda-taxing, gun-grabbing, snack-attacking control freak — should keep his nose out of our lives and out of the 2020 presidential race.

On the eve of the midterms, the former New York City mayor dumped $5 million into a self-serving ad bashing President Donald Trump, promoting Democrats, decrying border enforcement and preaching about a “higher purpose” in Washington.

Bloomberg has cast himself as the great healer of the political divide, calling for us to transcend labels, “offer solutions” and “work together” with “calm reasoning” and “opened hands” instead of “hysterics,” “fearmongering” and “pointed fingers.”

Take your phony olive branch and shove it.

It was a hysterical Bloomberg who divisively blamed the 2010 Times Square bomb attack on “somebody with a political agenda that doesn’t like the health care bill or something” — demonizing Tea Party activists who had risen up against Obamacare — when the real culprit turned out to be a Pakistan-born jihadist on a mission to avenge Muslims and fight foreign infidels.

“Words matter,” the high-minded Bloomberg lectures Trump. But he had no problem flippantly mocking gun-owners in Colorado Springs and Pueblo as poor, uneducated hillbillies who lived in backwater holes “where I don’t think there’s roads. It’s as far rural as you can get.”

Snotty Bloomberg was nursing massive ego wounds after dumping $350,000 into an unsuccessful effort to stop voters in my adopted home state from recalling radical, anti-Second Amendment state legislators. The grass-roots gun rights groups were outspent 7-to-1 by Bloomie and his minions — and still overcame the outside influence and celebrity attacks on our sovereignty.

So, who exactly are Bloomberg’s constituents? No, not hard-working Americans in flyover country yearning for a government that leaves them alone to decide how to run their lives, enhance their liberty and pursue happiness. No, Bloomberg champions the party of Do As I Say, Not As I Do-ism. He crusades for public transportation from the back seat of a plush SUV. He battles against climate change while flying to Davos and Paris in private jets. He rails against junk food for everyone else while scarfing down Cheez-Its during media interviews about his trans-fat ban.

Liberal media supporters who have touted a potential Bloomberg presidential run for the past 10 years cast him as a middle-of-the-road moderate. But how can you be a “centrist” when you have no center? He was a registered Republican when it was convenient, and then a Democrat, and then an independent, and then a Democrat again. He has bleated about “bipartisanship” at various summits and pooh-bah parties over the years. But his party identification is where his money is: He spent nearly $30 million on Democratic House races this year alone.

Bloomberg is Chauncey Gardiner with a mega-bank account and an insatiable appetite for using his money and power to tell his fellow human beings what’s best for them. He wants government to interfere in every aspect of our lives, while abandoning its core function: protecting our borders and controlling who gets in, who stays in and who should be kicked out.

When politicians bloviate about a “higher purpose,” it’s time to watch your wallets, hide the kids and lock your doors (front, back and refrigerator).
