.@LindseyGrahamSC to me this AM: “If you’re a Trump state Democrat, and there are a lot of them, this has been a terrible 30 days for you. So Kavanaugh did two things. It showcased for the country how, what they will do to get power and how much they want power,
and there are no boundaries. And it got every Republican from a Bush Republican to a Trump Republican, libertarian-vegetarian Republican, all united, because we all agree on conservative judges, right? And Kavanaugh was the Bush guy.
So the Democrats energized the Republican Party in a way we’ve never been able to do. And I think it’s had a big effect in rallying our base.” hughhewitt.com/senator-lindse…

I was at the breakfast briefing and this is the top line from ⁦@AmbJohnBolton⁩ (pretty sure 99% accurate thanks to colleagues with recorders): “A lot of the press coverage about the decisions on Syria kind of missed what the president had in mind.” washingtonpost.com/world/national…
“And certainly encompassed in that is it’s very clear we’re going to withdraw, we want protect american forces during the withdrawal period. But the president also expects we woyld be able to accomplish the destruction of the ISIS territorial caliphate
and other ISIS personnel and facilities that r potentially dangerous to us as we leave.
It’s also very important that as we discuss with members of the coalktion, other countries that have aninterest like isreal and turkey that we epxect that those who have fought w/us in Syria

Earlier this AM, @AmbJohnBolton told journalists traveling w/ him re timetable for w/drawal from Syria that “this is a cause and effect. Timetables or the timing of the withdrawal occurs as a result of the fulfillment of the conditions and establishment of the circumstances we
want to see.” In response to question re legal authority for maintaining US troops at Tanf, @AmbJohnBolton replied “Well I think there’s plenty of legal justification about concern for the resurgence of ISIS. But I’m a strong believer in Article II, and I think what that means is
the president has full authority to protect American and allied interests around the world.” @AmbJohnBolton also commented on passing of fmr SecDef Brown: “He was a great patriot who devotes most of his life to public service. You don’t have to agree w/someone all the time to see

From one of military buddies: "A couple points to consider about the Chang'i 4 landing. One, China's space program is controlled by the Party and by their military. There is no civilian aspect to it.
Second, the southern and norther poles of the moon are critical for a number of reasons. One is that there is water there in the form of ice in the permanent shadow of deep craters. This water will be important for building permanent bases on the moon.
Third, the poles are important military positions because there are places at the poles that can always look down on the earth with sensors and weapons. China's landing at the southern pole at the Aiken Basin is a key military strategic achievement.

#Kavanaugh tweet storm beginning now:

1/
Today’s confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court is the most significant judicial victory for conservatives of my lifetime. All conservatives should thank @SenMajLdr & @ChuckGrassley for their extraordinary leadership through a grueling battle.

2/
Moving the court from 5-4 liberal to 5-4 conservative will have sweeping ramifications for the country. Most importantly, it will restore the rule of law & the Constitution. Democrat efforts to end run state legislatures, Congress & the executive branch will now be fruitless.

Christine Blasey Ford listens to Judiciary GOP chair Grassley falsely claim he’s done everything possible for a fair process and it’s Democrats who obstruct. He falsely equates what she’s been thru w/ Kavanaugh, falsely says Senate has already investigated so FBI doesn’t have to.
Dr Blasey Ford’s voice breaks detailing her sexual assault by Kavanaugh. “I believed he was going to rape me. I was too afraid and ashamed to tell anyone… I tried to suppress it b/c recounting it caused panic and anxiety.” She’s breathing heavily, powering thru. What a hero.
Blasey Ford is being essentially cross-examined by Maricopa County Arizona sex crimes prosecutor Rachel Mitchell. Mitchell asks if her texts to WaPo & her letter to Senator Feinstein are accurate.

Trump: #Kavanaugh’s never had even a little blemish. I have great faith in the Senate and their process. If it [confirmation] has to be delayed a little, then it will be. Feinstein had this information and didn’t bring it up. It should’ve been brought up a long time ago. #SCOTUS
GOP @SenatorCollins: #Kavanaugh was emphatic in denying sexual assault allegations. Obviously if he lied about it, it would be disqualifying.
“Disqualifying”—Susan Collins is the first Senate Republican to say the word out loud: “Obviously if Judge Kavanaugh has lied about what happened, that would be disqualifying.” He should obviously withdraw, but that’s a precedent Trump might have to follow

BREAKING: The White House has said that US President #Trump is canceling his upcoming South America trip to remain in the US "to oversee the American response to Syria." - @NBCNews
This sounds like the US is planning to strike #Syria and Trump will remain in the US to closely monitor responses by #Russia. This is terrible.
BREAKING - British forces are now mobilizing at their bases in #Cyprus for strikes against #Syria. It appears very likely that the US, France and U.K. will strike Syria in the next 24 hours. This is dreadful.

How #Trump became a #Soviet/#Russian Agent
1. #Trump's first known visit to #Soviet and #Moscow in 1987 looks to be part of a pattern. The #SteeleDossier says that the #Kremlin had been cultivating# Trump for “at least five years” before 2016 elections, meaning it asserts a beginning in 2011 or 2012.
2.The #SovietUnion was interested in #Trump three decades earlier. The top level of the #Soviet diplomatic service arranged his 1987 #Moscow visit.
