Believe Women? Well, which woman are we supposed to believe?
According to the Modern Democrat Party, innocent until proven guilty has been replaced with Believe Women.
Because, as you all know, women never ever lie.
Okay, I lied. Yes we do.
But in the smear against Brett Kavanaugh, the Believe Women system of “justice” has kinda hit a snag.
See, now we have another woman – a Leland Ingham Keyser — who, according to Kavanaugh’s accuser, was at this party at someone’s house, at some point in the 1980s that nobody remembers.
And Ms. Keyser doesn’t know what the hell Ms. Ford is going on about.
Hearing that the other woman at the alleged party (the one missing witness, as identified by the accuser) has come forward & says she doesn’t know Kavanaugh & has no recollection of attending any party that he did.
Four alleged witnesses. All four do not corroborate her story.

Now, by the rubric Believe Women, we have to believe Ms. Keyser. That’s how it works, right?
Will Senator Kirsten “Believe Women” Gillibrand stand up in front of the press and say of Ms. Keyser, “I believe Ms. Keyser because she’s telling the truth.”
[Which, if you don’t recognize it, is exactly what she said about Ms. Ford]
Allow me to drag out my Logic 101:
We are to Believe Women.
Ms. Keyser is a woman.
Therefore we must believe Ms. Keyser.
That’s the system of “justice” the shrieking harridans in the Democrat Party and the #MeToo witch hunt promote.
So now what do we do?
If we believe Ms. Keyser, than Ms. Ford is being untruthful.
But we must Believe Women. So Ms. Ford must be believed as well.
Therefore, Ms. Keyser is being untruthful.
But we must Believe Women. So Ms. Keyser must be believed as well.
Um. Is there smoke coming out of my ears?
See, this is why we don’t base our justice system on a presumption of honesty.
We base our justice system on a presumption of innocent until proven guilty.
This must be why the Washington Post omitted the existence of Ms. Keyser when they first did their story last Sunday.
And, yes, the Post had her name last week.
But the only people mentioned in that article were men.
And for good reason.
After all, if only men flat-out deny Ms. Ford’s claims, that plays into the “Believe Women” narrative perfectly because it pits a woman against those lying liars of the male persuasion.
Including Ms. Keyser in their story last week would have hurt the Washington Post’s (and Ms. Ford’s) narrative. So they just left her out of the mix.
1) More big breaking news, which further undercuts the Ford accusation, as well as media handling of it. A source has given me the email that WaPo reporter Emma Brown sent to Mark Judge, one person Ford claims was at the party. This email is dated Sunday, Sept. 16, 2018
— Kimberley Strassel (@KimStrassel) September 23, 2018
2) The email wants a comment from him. The subsequent story would reveal Christine Ford's name, and give details of the supposed "assault."
— Kimberley Strassel (@KimStrassel) September 23, 2018
3) One part of the email to Judge reads: "In addition to Brett Kavanaugh and Mark Judge, whom she called acquaintances she knew from past socializing, she recalls that her friend Leland (last name then was Ingham, now Keyser) was at the house and a friend of the boys named PJ."
— Kimberley Strassel (@KimStrassel) September 23, 2018
4) This matters for two big reasons–Ford's credibility and WaPo's. The subsequent WaPo story would go on to cite Ford's name and details, and also list notes from a therapist that Ford told this to in 2012. Read carefully what WaPo reports, the same day it emails Judge:
— Kimberley Strassel (@KimStrassel) September 23, 2018
5) "The notes say four boys were involved, a discrepancy Ford says was an error on the therapist’s part. Ford said there were four boys at the party but only two in the room.”
— Kimberley Strassel (@KimStrassel) September 23, 2018
6) Wait, say what? WaPo reports publicly that Ford says it was "four boys,"even after WaPo reporter tells Judge that Ford had told her it was three boys and a girl.
— Kimberley Strassel (@KimStrassel) September 23, 2018
7) So first, huge problem: This was just a week ago, and we have Ford giving two different accounts of who was present. Four boys. No, three boys, one girl. Either way, therapist notes from 2012 definitively say four boys, which Ford didn't dispute. But now… a girl!
— Kimberley Strassel (@KimStrassel) September 23, 2018
8) Other problem: WaPo's reporting. Reporter has for a week had the names of those Ford listed as present. One is a woman. Yet it writes a story saying FOUR BOYS. Why? Maybe a mistake. But if so, why did WaPo never correct that narrative?
— Kimberley Strassel (@KimStrassel) September 23, 2018
9) What, you can't find Keyser? She has lived in the DC area a long time. The paper had no trouble tracking down the other two men (btw, who also denied such party). And why not publish Keyser's name? It published the other men's names.
— Kimberley Strassel (@KimStrassel) September 23, 2018
10) In its most recent update tonight, WaPo writes: "Before her name became public, Ford told The Post she did not think Keyser would remember the party because nothing remarkable had happened there, as far as Keyser was aware."
— Kimberley Strassel (@KimStrassel) September 23, 2018
11) Wow. "Before her name became public, Ford told…" That is WaPo admitting that it had the name, and had Ford's response to what would clearly be a Keyser denial, but NEVER PUT IT OUT THERE. Again, why? A lot of people have a lot questions to answer.
— Kimberley Strassel (@KimStrassel) September 23, 2018
As Michelle Malkin put it in her column this weekend, we don’t believe a gender; we “Believe Evidence.”
And so far there is not a single shred of evidence that this alleged party even took place – let alone the alleged attempted groping.
Nobody corroborates Ms. Ford’s claims.
I’m growing more convinced Ford’s lawyers are delaying to allow them more time to find people who will corroborate her story. That effort is not only failing, but what does it say about the situation when the people you present as your witnesses contradict you?
— Tammy Bruce (@HeyTammyBruce) September 23, 2018
Well, that lack of corroboration would have been scoffed at had the only people contradicting her been men.
The statement from Ms. Keyser blows the whole Believe Women narrative apart.
In other words, this isn’t even a “she said; he said.”
It’s more of a “she said; everyone else said.”
Sadly, this will not change a thing for hacks like Mazie Hirono or Kirsten Gillibrand. Ditto the Hollywood actresses who make videos of support for Ford.
Because at the end of the day, they don’t really believe her – hell, they don’t need to believe her.
Truth or lie, credible or unfounded – none of that matters.
All that matters is the Democrats find a winning issue for November. And these guys think this is their winning issue – even if Kavanaugh still gets confirmed.
So despite the wheels coming off the Ford Jalopy, they’re going to put the peddle to metal and keep pushing forward all the way to the Midterms — no matter how discredited her story becomes.

Senator Diane Feinstein had a letter in her possession in 1998 implicating Bill Clinton raped Juanita Broderick 8 years before. There were corroborating witnesses and documentation that make this allegation far more credible than Ford’s claims. Senator Feinstein suppressed this letter until AFTER the senate voted.
Hypocrite!!
#Believe women?????????
Juanita Broderick deserved to be believed and she was destroyed by the media and treated as if she did not exist by the democrats.
#Believe Women…..BULLSHIT!
I can smell a shitty scheming plan by the democrats with Ms. Ford and it stinks.
I know when to believe a women’s story and when it is a political convenience.
I #believe her. What I don’t believe are self-serving Senate Democrats, who would say anything they can get away with to obstruct Trump. Anything at all.
The issue is never the issue. The real issue is making sure that the open seat on the Supreme Court remains vacant for the next two years.
This whole Hail-Mary Kabuki drama is nothing more than a sanctimonious political dodge and almost everybody figured it out as soon as the story broke in the Washington Post.
“So despite the wheels coming off the Ford Jalopy, they’re going to put the peddle to metal and keep pushing forward all the way to the Midterms — no matter how discredited her story becomes.”
Once again, you nailed it Dianny. SPOT ON!
Juanita Broaddrick, Paula Jones, Monica Lewinsky, and others
And suddenly Loud Mouth Alyssa Milano tells her story of sexual assault that she never bothered to speak about…
Then she uses her story to reason that we MUST believe Ford and somehow lashes out at President Trump over the whole mess.
Well done Dianny.
Feinstein needs to be removed from this committee as per the rules for leaking this to begin with.
Do you know why we have all of this nonsense? Because we don’t enforce rules and the law by making consequences happen. People are emboldened to lie, smear, and obstruct because it is profitable.
What has happened to not bearing false witness?!
