An illegal immigrant allegedly kicked a U.S. Border Patrol agent in the head during an arrest.

U.S. Customs and Border Patrol officials reported that Rio Grande Valley Sector agents came upon a group of migrants who had illegally crossed the border from Mexico on Friday morning. As the agents attempted to take the group into custody, one became combative.

During the fight, the migrant allegedly kicked the Border Patrol agent in the head. The blow caused a laceration on the agent’s forehead. The agents got control of the migrant and placed him under arrest for immigration violations and for attacking a federal agent.

The injured agent was taken to a hospital where doctors treated him for the laceration and released him.

Border Patrol agents are among the most assaulted of all federal law enforcement officers. During the first 11 months of Fiscal Year 2018, the number of assault incidents against Border Patrol agents increased 18 percent, Breitbart Texas reported.

A report released this week by U.S. Customs and Border Protection reveals that Border Patrol agents were the target of various types of assaults 619 times between October 1, 2017, and August 31, 2018. While the number of agents assaulted dropped by eight percent from Fiscal Year 2017, the number of assault incidents actually increased by 18 percent. In Fiscal Year 2017, CBP officials reported 286 incidents of assault compared to 338 in Fiscal Year 2018, the report states.

Agents are frequently attacked with rocks and other forms of physical violence including gunfire and vehicular assaults.

“U.S. Border Patrol agents are the most frequently assaulted and most frequently injured federal law enforcement officers,”  El Paso Sector Chief Patrol Agent Aaron A. Hull during the groundbreaking of a new border wall segment in El Paso, Texas, last month. “We’ve seen time and time again that the addition of serious infrastructure creates a safer environment for our people to operate. It also creates a safer community on both sides of the border.”

It was only a matter of time before failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton weighed in on President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, and it appears to have been time she spent working on a top notch critique: that Kavanaugh could return the United States to the days of slavery.

Speaking to the American Federation of Teachers Friday night, Clinton warned of “devastating consequences” if Kavanaugh is confirmed to the bench.

“Let me say a word about the nomination of Judge Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court,” Clinton said in her speech. “This nomination holds out the threat of devastating consequences for workers rights, civil rights, LGBT rights, women’s rights — including those to make our own health decisions.”

“It is a blatant attempt by this administration to shift the balance of the Court for decades and to reverse decades of progress,” Clinton continued.

And that’s where she landed on her new strategy of attack: warning of a return to the agrarian pre-Civil War America.

“I used to worry that they [the Republicans] wanted to turn the clock back to the 1950s. Now I worry they want to turn it back to the 1850s,” Clinton said.

So, Judge Kavanaugh is now Justice Kavanaugh, which means it’s time for the American left to stop their fusillade against Republican senators and, like always, assemble into a circular firing squad of enmity.

The mutually assured destruction now features a battle between the staid Democrats, who just took advantage of people who said they were victims of sexual assaults because they wanted to stop a Supreme Court nominee, and lawyer Michael Avenatti, who took advantage of people who said they were victims of sexual assaults because he wanted to be more famous.

In an article published by CNN Saturday, Democrats both named and unnamed say that the flamboyant lawyer made their case less credible thanks to his client Julie Swetnick, who claimed that Brett Kavanaugh and his friends ran a sort of “gang rape” cabal where women were plied with alcohol at teenage parties. She would later back away from some of these claims.

“Christine Blasey Ford had just revealed her identity and was prepared to testify in public, detailing her allegations that Kavanaugh had tried to sexual assault her more than three decades ago. On top of that, a New Yorker article had just revealed that a second woman, Deborah Ramirez, was accusing Kavanaugh of exposing his genitals to her while they were college students,” CNN reported.

“Then came Michael Avenatti.

“The combative lawyer, who represents Stormy Daniels and has been a ubiquitous presence on cable television, revealed a stunning new allegation: A woman, Julie Swetnick, said she had witnessed the Supreme Court nominee attending more than 10 house parties between 1981 and 1983 where Kavanaugh and his friend, Mark Judge, were present. At some of those parties, she alleged, Kavanaugh was ‘fondling and grabbing girls without their consent’ and, along with others, spiking drinks to force girls to lose their inhibitions.”

Not only was there no corroboration here, it turns out Swetnick wasn’t terribly reliable. Now, Democrats say that Swetnick’s claims hurt their cause.

“Well you know at some point there were a lot of folks coming forward making all sorts of accusations,” Sen. Gary Peters, a Michigan Democrat, told CNN.

“It turns it into a circus atmosphere and certainly that’s not where we should be.”

Peters, asked whether Avenatti helped their cause, said that, “I think we should have focused on the serious allegations that certainly appeared very credible to me that would be our best course of action.”

Off the record, senior Democrats were more candid. One Senator said that Avenatti’s involvement was “(n)ot helpful at all. I think Susan (Collins) was always (voting) yes, but Avenatti was a useful foil.”

Another Democrat aide said Avenatti should have just focused on his quixotic run for the presidency and left the actual politicking to them.

“Democrats and the country would have been better off if Mr. Avenatti spent his time on his Iowa vanity project rather than meddling in Supreme Court fights,” one aide said.

“His involvement set us back, absolutely.”

Avenatti, meanwhile, remained Avenatti-esque.

“It is outrageous that these so-called Democrats would attack a sexual assault victim from coming forward,” Avenatti said in response.

“I guess their position is that she should have shut her mouth and remained silent? It is disgusting that these cowards blame my client and the other accusers from coming forward.”

It’s funny that Avenatti and the Democrats are now at war over the Kavanaugh debacle; these two parties deserve each other. Circuses attract clowns, and Avenatti is the biggest clown of all. While he might be cute on basic cable at two in the afternoon, raving and ranting about how he’s going to take down the president, that doesn’t play so well when he gets involved in the actual political machinery of the nation.

It isn’t that Avenatti’s charges are so materially different from what Senate Democrats presented. Swetnick’s case was uncorroborated as well and involved a topic that was designed to make headlines and defame a Supreme Court nominee. The difference was that, like everything Avenatti touches, it was just a little bit more debased than everything else being pushed by the Democrats. He was like a caricature of the entire process.

So, in the end, what did the Democrats expect? Once they let Avenatti run loose inside the funhouse, this was bound to happen. Let the circular firing squad commence.

There is a reason so many American families supported Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court, despite the left’s best attempts to derail it.

Liberals didn’t take into account two things when they orchestrated a campaign to falsely accuse the judicial nominee of sexual assault.

The first is that there would be a majority of Americans across the country who care deeply about the justice of presumed innocence over presumed guilt; the other is that not all women who make accusations of sexual assault are telling the truth.

For those of us who are parents of daughters, our concerns are for their safety and protection, of course.

For those of us who are parents of sons, our concerns are for their safety and protection, of course.

The latter is the focus of another drama that is playing out in Zelienople, Pennsylvania, about 40 miles north of Pittsburgh. And it might also be the outcome all parents of sons feared would escalate if Democrats succeeded in undoing the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh.

According to WPXI News in Pittsburgh, Michael J. and Alecia Flood, the parents of a high school-aged boy identified only as T.F., filed a civil lawsuit on Monday in U.S. District Court in Pittsburgh against the Seneca Valley School District in Butler County, District Attorney Richard Goldinger, and the parents of five teenage “mean girls” who falsely accused the boy of sexual assault.

The suit alleges “that school officials and Goldinger’s office didn’t take any action against the girls even after learning their accusations were false,” according to WPXI News.

The parents who filed the suit say the “mean girls” conspired to falsely accuse their son of sexual assault which resulted in several unfair consequences.

WPXI reported the girls “conspired in person and via electronic communication devices to falsely accuse T.F. of sexual assault on two occasions.”

WXPI also reported that T.F. was fired from his job at the Zelienople Community Pool where he was employed at the time of the allegations and “…forced to endure multiple court appearances, detention in a juvenile facility, detention at home, loss of his liberty, and other damages until several of the girls reluctantly admitted that their accusations were false.”

Breitbart also reported: “The suit also alleges that the boy was subjected to months of bullying from other kids at school.”

Penn Live reported one example of bullying listed in the suit the boy suffered: “The lawsuit said students last year placed masking tape with the word ‘PREDATOR’ written on it on his back without his knowledge during choir practice.”

In the original 27-page complaint filed against T.F., the teen girls accused him of two different instances of sexual assault – one at the Zelienople Community Pool and another at a private home.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette quoted the Floods’ attorney Craig Fishman on Thursday as saying, “The system right now is biased against men.”

As a father of two adult daughters, according to the newspaper, Fishman said he supported the advancement of the #MeToo movement, but said in this case, things had gone too far.

“They discriminated against the boy based solely on his gender,” Fishman told the Post-Gazette.

And isn’t that what is going through the minds of many parents of boys?

If they could take down a highly qualified Supreme Court nominee with mere accusations that had no basis in physical evidence or fact, it would certainly be a cake walk to ruin lives with false accusations against boys, men across the country. What a frightening possibility.

The left went too far in believing it could rally in the court of public opinion the advancement an agenda that collapses the constitutional principles and the presumption of innocence.

Let’s hope justice prevails in Pennsylvania.
