Kansas Dem Andrea Ramsey accused of sexual harassment

A Democratic candidate for Congress, Andrea Ramsey, will drop out of the House race after the Kansas City Star questioned her about accusations in a 2005 lawsuit alleging she sexually harassed and retaliated against a male subordinate who claims he rejected her advances.

Multiple sources  with information of the case told The Star that the man reached a settlement with LabOne, where Ramsey was executive vice president of human resources. The man in the case, Gary Funkhouser (which sounds like German for "dirty house") and LabOne agreed to a permanent dismissal after mediation in 2006.

Ramsey, 56, is a retired business executive from Leawood, Kansas and one of the Democratic candidates preparing to challenge Republican Rep. Kevin Yoder in 2018 in the Kansas 3rd District.

Ramsey was endorsed by Emily's List, a liberal women's group that raised over $500,000 to help women candidates who support killing unborn babies. However, they have no official position on sexual harassment of men by women.

Ramsey will thankfully drop out Friday, her campaign said.

Ramsey bitterly said in a statement: 

"In its rush to claim the high ground in our roiling national conversation about harassment, the Democratic Party has implemented a zero tolerance standard. For me, that means a vindictive, terminated employee's false allegations are enough for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) to decide not to support our promising campaign. We are in a national moment where rough justice stands in place of careful analysis, nuance and due process."

But President Trump is guilty.

Dems apparently afraid to cooperate with Trump on voter fraud

Democratic state officials who may or may not be guilty of voter fraud involvement are refusing to cooperate with the investigation of the same ordered by President Trump. They refuse to hand over "voter roll data" the commission is seeking, possibly due to the fact that it will negate their own elections. 

The refusal comes after Kris Kobach of Kansas (aka KKK) who is the secretary of state and serving as vice chair of the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity wrote to all 50 states (not 57, as Mr. Obama believed) asking for their input along with voter registration data.

According to an anonymous source, Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D-Va.) was literally shaking with fear and looked as if he lost much sleep over the request. He said in a statement, "I have no intention of honoring this request. Virginia conducts fair, honest, and democratic elections." 

The same source, who asked to be called Vinny Boombots,  said that he noticed McAuliffe had his fingers crossed when he wrote the statement.

The leftist governor claimed the commission is based on the "specious and false notion that there was widespread voter fraud last November."

Hey, what's a few million votes in a country as big and as wonderful as the good ole US of A?

Mr. Trump created the panel via executive order in May to review alleged voter fraud after seeing a show on TV about that topic. He made the tremendous and incredible claim that 3 million to 5 million people illegally voted in the 2016 presidential election.

The Kobach letter politely asked for recommendations on how to improve election integrity, "which had Democratic lawmakers literally rolling on the floor with laughter," Vinny Boombots said.

McAuliffe and a clapping felon

What really got the Democrat's goat was Kobach's request for voter information that would actually identify voters. You know, identification information like their names, date of birth, political party, voter history ("elections voted in"), the last four digits of their Social Security numbers, felony convictions, military status and more.

In other words, could they prove these people existed and were actual US citizens.

Kobach was clear in the request that he was only asking for "publicly-available voter roll data" under each state's laws.

This got the Democrats scurrying like rats on the Titanic without sheet music, Vinny said cryptically.

Connecticut Secretary of State Denise Merrill said in a statement that her office would provide the requested information "in the spirit of transparency," but added that some of the requested data is not sharable under state law, and she would ensure "the privacy of voters is honored by withholding protected data." She also seemed concerned that state officials "have not been told precisely what the Commission is looking for."

Virginia and California were obviously more peeved in their response.

McAuliffe, a close Clinton family ally and possible secret shopper said, "At best this commission was set up as a pretext to validate Donald Trump's alternative election facts, and at worst is a tool to commit large-scale voter suppression."

He was perhaps referring to illegal alien voter suppression, which he sees as racist and a sign of white privilege. He declared he wouldn't "divert resources" to this, as a little bead of sweat trickled down his cheek.

California Secretary of State Alex Padilla said in a statement that he would "not provide sensitive voter information to a commission that has already inaccurately passed judgment that millions of Californians voted illegally."

Padilla added, "California's participation would only serve to legitimize the false and already debunked claims of massive voter fraud made by the President, the Vice President, and Mr. Kobach."

Show me the debunking.

Kobach told The Kansas City Star he's simply looking for the "best data possible."

He called it "nonsense" that the data could be used to suppress the vote. "The purpose of the commission is to quantify different forms of voter fraud and registration fraud and offer solutions. And so you have to have this data in order to do any meaningful research."

Trump's claims of voter fraud and a commission to investigate it have been controversial from the start. 

In January, Trump called for a major investigation into voter fraud after telling lawmakers that 3 to 5 million people voted illegally in the November election. This allegation may have been inspired by the fact that Hillary Clinton [of Benghazi and illegal private server fame] received more popular votes than Trump and he punched back by claiming that those extra votes were illegal and without them, he would have also won the popular vote.

House Speaker Paul Ryan said at the time Trump first made the claim that he saw "no evidence" to corroborate the existence of fraud.

But there have been documented cases of voter fraud, including some cases Kobach pursued in Kansas.

But 3 to 5 million?

Who knew?

Mizzou fired Click, Gonzaga hired her

Former University of Missouri professor and ginger extraordinaire Melissa Click is now going to be the problem of Gonzaga University in Spokane, Wash. according to the Kansas City Star who cited the school's website as a source.

Click was a subversive communications professor at the U of M until they fired her in February after she was video taped calling for "some muscle" in order to eject a student videographer who was trying to report on protests at the Concerned Student 1950 camp on the Columbia campus. In other words, the student was trying to communicate a story that a "professor" of communications was trying to totally redact. 

Oh, the irony.

The student posted the video, it went viral and the faculty, students and alumni lambasted Click and the school had no choice but to get rid of her.

Now she is listed as a lecturer at Gonzaga and Elisabeth Mermann-Jozwiak, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences wrote that she is aware of Click's unconstitutional behavior but since when should that stop anyone from hiring a First Amendment bully?

Click was hired for a one-year, non-tenure track position in the communication studies department where she will focus on non-communication issues. 

"If I don't like what you're saying, I will do all in my power to keep you from saying it," Click said non-verbally. "Same goes for video taping," the communications lecturer added.

Mermann-Jezwiak's statement read in part: Dr. Click was hired through an extensive national search process that revealed her to be the most qualified and experienced candidate for the position." It went on to read: "Dr. Click has excellent recommendations for both her teaching and her scholarship, which includes an extensive record of publication. We are confident she has learned much from her experiences at the University of Missouri and believe she will uphold the rigorous standards of academic excellence demanded of Gonzaga faculty and students."

What the statement left out was that the "extensive national search" for recruitment purposes was the Helen Keller School for the Deaf and Blind, the Beijing, China campus. And that the "excellent recommendations" were signed by Mr. and Mrs. Click--her parents.

Click is an oxymoron as a communications lecturer. But that only reveals what Gonzaga University thinks of the First Amendment.

I will boycott all Gonzaga basketball games and Japanese monster movies that feature a monster with the namesake of the school.

Luckily, I have never gone to any Gonzaga basketball games and live on the other coast.
