=======================================
1. ==> Did Brett Kavanaugh Lie Under Oath?
Bob Schiff, Lisa Graves and Jeff Berman have written a Time magazine piece
entitled ‘Brett Kavanaugh Can’t Be Trusted. We Know Because We Worked as Counsel
to Senators When He Was in the Bush White House.’ In it they write: “At his
first confirmation hearing in April 2004, Kavanaugh said he had never received
material stolen from Democrats. He repeated that testimony in May 2006 under
questioning by both Democratic Senators and Chairman Hatch. But emails released
earlier this month, after originally being deemed ‘committee confidential,’ show
that Kavanaugh was in frequent contact with (Manuel) Miranda and received
material that had been stolen from the Senate Judiciary Committee server. These
emails contradict his testimony under oath. …” Robert Schiff served as chief
counsel for Senator Russ Feingold; Lisa Graves served as chief counsel for
nominations for Sen. Leahy; Jeff Berman served as chief counsel for Senator
Charles Schumer. Contact Bob Schiff at robertfschiff@gmail.com, Lisa Graves at
lisa@documentedinvestigations.org or Jeff Berman at jeffberman@gmail.com
2. ==> Democrats’ Bogus Judicial Temperament Claim
According to Andrew McCarthy, the most risible and blatantly political claim
posited by Democrats is their objection to Brett Kavanaugh’s purported lack of
judicial temperament. “Of course, the best measure we have of how someone will
perform in a government office is how that person has already performed when in
that office, or in a very similar one. And the best measure we have of the
seriousness and good faith of a critic’s claim against a nominee is whether the
critic consistently levels similar charges in analogous situations.” McCarthy
points to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg and her derogatory comments about Donald
Trump. “If they practiced consistency, Kavanaugh’s critics would be calling for
Ginsburg to step down, or at the very least to recuse herself from any case in
which a component of the Trump administration is a party before the Court.”
Andrew McCarthy, a former top federal prosecutor, is a senior fellow at the
National Review Institute, a contributing editor at National Review, and a well-
known commentator on legal, national security, and political affairs. He also
writes regularly for PJMedia and The New Criterion. Contact him at

6. ==> She Survived a Tsunami Like the One in Indonesia
Last week, an earthquake sent 20-foot high waves of water across the Indonesian
island of Sulawesi. Many homes were instantly washed away and many families are
missing. Tsunamis are relatively rare examples of nature at its unpredictable
worst and few people who experience them live to tell the tale. Sana Brauner is
one of the lucky ones. She will share the compelling story of how she survived
the wall of water when her holiday in Thailand turned deadly. Sana’s son and ex-
husband also survived but her mother did not. Her two-year-old daughter has
never been found. Sana can talk about what it is like to lose everything you
hold dear in an instant and the steps she has taken to recover from her 2004
ordeal. She is the author of “The Borrowed Daughter,” a memoir containing

9. ==> We Really Can Do Something About Our Most Massive Problems
Mark Landau says the problems surrounding us today are enormous. “Manmade
climate disruption escalates. The corruption of our democracy is nearly
complete. We edge closer to nuclear terrorism and war. We are ruled by money. We
must face these facts.” He says, “Those who deny them have their heads in the
sand and those who don’t, recoil, self-medicate and entertain them away. Unless
enough of us get behind doing something about them, they will likely reach their
logical end.” Landau says there’s still hope and we can turn the ship in a
better direction, but the time to act is now. Invite Landau on your show and
explore stunning, new, little-known developments and courses of action as well
as ancient, barely appreciated understandings that help make sense of our

10. ==> This M.D. Has a Cure for ‘Trump Anxiety Syndrome’
If you’ve been feeling anxious, hopeless, angry, fearful and depressed since the
2016 presidential election, you’re not alone. Trump Anxiety Syndrome (TAS) is a
thing, and physician Steven M. Hall has seen an uptick in patients suffering
from this. According to Dr. Steven, this is exactly what Trump wants. “This
feeds Trump; he lives on this,” he says. “Reasoning doesn’t work with Trump
supporters. Liberal people want to do everything with reason, but it just
doesn’t work. You can’t change other people’s minds.” Not only does TAS affect
people mentally, the stress it causes can also impact their physical health. Dr.
Steven can share simple yet powerful ways to combat the stress, on both the
mental and physical levels. Dr. Steven received his medical degree from
University of Utah School of Medicine and has been practicing family medicine
since 1985. He is the author of “The 7 Tools of Healing: Unlock Your Inner
Wisdom and Live the Life Your Soul Desires.” Contact him at (425) 531-3684.

Many retirees want to stay in their home as long as possible. After all, it’s

sense. Tzougros (pronounced Sue-grows) will share stories, insights, fears and
clever solutions her clients made when facing the same dilemma. “Ultimately,”
she says, “this is not a real estate decision but a decision about what retirees
need to have the best life possible.” She adds, “And the reality is that when a
house’s maintenance costs are draining people’s savings, it is no longer an
asset.” Penelope S. Tzougros, Ph.D., ChFC, CLU, is a Financial Consultant,
speaker and founder of Wealthy Choices. She is the author of several books

Being a child used to be filled with possibilities: playing in the mud, climbing
jungle gyms and pretending to be anything that could be imagined. But today,
more children than ever are dealing with ADHD, anxiety and depression. Digital
addiction may be to blame, says Patsie McCandless, a retired primary school
teacher. She says, “We can’t turn back the clock on cell phones, video games and

and must decide to be more present in our children’s lives to support the magic
of their growth and learn how to have fun with them again.” You’ll learn why the
original tech leaders didn’t allow their children to have digital devices and
how parents end up choosing their cell phones over their children without even
