Kavanaugh Yearbook Destroys Avenatti's 'FFFF' Claim
From the images and evidence, the 'gang rape' claim was totally debunked.
Attorney Michael Avenatti gained infamy for representing porn performer "Stormy Daniels," who claimed she had an affair with Donald Trump. Avanetti then injected himself into the confirmation hearings of Brett Kavanaugh when he pushed claims made by Julie Swetnick, who said she witnessed Kavanaugh being peripherally involved in gang rapes.
As those accusations began to fall apart, Avenatti came forward with startling "new" evidence of debauchery; entries made in a young Kavanaugh's high school yearbook. In an email to Mike Davis, chief counsel on nominations for the Senate Judiciary Committee, the lawyer purported that the yearbook included 'coded entries' that might expose Kavanaugh as a sexual predator.
However, further examination of the yearbook has shown the entries to be exactly what Judge Kavanaugh stated them to be, rather benign high school humor, and seemed to destroy Avanetti's wild claims as to what "FFFFF," and the "Devil's Triangle," really meant in 1983.
In his 1983 yearbook, and on his calendar, Kavanaugh had referenced something he labelled as the "Devils Triangle." Avenatti stated in his email that there was a reason to believe the entry referred to "a situation where two men engage in sex with a woman at the same time."
He further claimed that entries with the additional "FFFFF" preceding words that began with the letter, such as "FFFFFFFourth of July," was a coded acronym. The nefarious repeated letters appeared to Avenatti as an exhortation to "Find them, French them, Feel them, Finger them, F*** them, and Forget them."
Immediately after President Trump announced his pick to replace retiring justice Kennedy on the Supreme Court, the left unleashed a blitzkrieg of attacks targeting nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
The Senate hearings for Kavanaugh were marred by loud protesters, Senators were harassed and threatened, and liberals began reaching back three decades in an attempt to paint the judge as a heavy drinking monster who was a danger to women.
He was attacked with uncorroborated allegations from a few women who proffered claims that they were sexually assaulted by Kavanaugh, with some even claiming they were raped by the future judge.
Judge Kavanaugh and his family began receiving death threats from unhinged leftists, who apparently saw the possibility of him being seated on the nation's highest court as tantamount to the end of civilization.
Senators ominously had their home addresses released, placing them and their families in danger from activists who had been whipped into a frenzy by Democrat lawmakers and the constant stream of hyperbolic rhetoric from leftist media.
The attacks waned and the accusations fell apart, but that didn't stop Avenatti from creating more 'accusations' out of thin air.
Judge Kavanaugh had to suffer the indignity of being interrogated about the contents of his high school yearbook from 35 years ago.
He flatly denied Avenatti's assertions, explaining the "Devil's Triangle" reference referred to a "drinking game where there were three glasses in a triangle."
When asked about the numerous uses of multiple "F" characters, Kavanaugh's explained the letters represented something much tamer. Kavanaugh stated that the "FFFFF" came to be because of a friend who always rolled the "F" in those words, and the teens in his group found it hilarious, adopting the practice for themselves for words starting with the letter.
A copy of Brett Kavanaugh's Georgetown Preparatory School yearbook from 1983 has been released, and posted on Archive.org.
The yearbook shows repeated usage of "FFFFF," by a number of students.
Entries such as "FFFFFairffffffield," and "FFFFreshman," indicate widespread use of the rolling "F" in front of various words, and appear to support Kavanaugh's explanation of the string of letters being a running joke in widespread use at the time by his classmates.
It's the same with the term, "Devil's Triangle."
That phrase is used repeatedly, often in reference to drinking, lending credence to Judge Kavanaugh's explanation of the term.
It doesn't seem reasonable that several teens at Kavanaugh's school were involved in such salacious styled sex, yet it's very reasonable that they occasionally drank alcohol, and made a game of it.
Since Judge Kavanaugh was named to replace Justice Kennedy, he's had to face a barrage of hate, threats, and personal attacks as the left struggled to delay his confirmation, or stop it altogether.
Most of the character assassinations seemed shoddily and hastily thrown together, designed to enrage Democrat voters, and smear the President's chosen court replacement. With closer examination, all of the attacks seemed to miss their mark. Avenatti's bizarre interpretation of Kavanaugh's yearbook appears to have fallen well short of implicating the judge as well.

After what seemed like an eternity of pregnancy, Kim Kardashian finally gave birth to a healthy baby girl on Saturday in Los Angeles.
With little Kimye, Karrie, Kontroversey (or whatever she will eventually be kalled) being welcomed into the world with dad Kanye West at Kim's side, the newest member of the Kardashian klan will no doubt go on to wield konsiderable celebrity power.
But who will Mini Kim be rubbing shoulders with as she grows up? We list our top five celebrity baby girls.
5. Theodora Williams
The offspring of Robbie Williams and actress Ayda Field, Theodora is practically responsible for calming one of pop's most wild stars. With fatherhood suiting Mr Williams, his only wish is that she be brought up to 'have manners' – however if she even has only half the talent of her parents, she's bound to go on to achieve big things.
4. Everly Tatum
The first daughter of The World's Sexiest Man was only born three weeks ago but has already had the Twitter world gawping with a collective 'awww!' after being snapped in dad Channing's arms. With her dance expert actress mum Jenna Dewan (not to mention Channing's own dance abilities), Everly is sure to hot foot it to stardom.
3. Harper Beckham
Arguably the most famous baby girl in the UK, Harper doesn't go anywhere without her celeb parents Victoria and David. Fashion teams are already hailing her as a trend setter and fashion icon (seriously?) despite the fact she's still not even two. Harps is going to be a force to be reckoned with.
2. Blue Ivy Carter
The daughter of music power couple Jay Z and Beyonce (haven't you heard of them?), one-year-old Blue Ivy has been making it big ever since she emerged from the womb – with parody accounts of her appearing on Twitter literally from the second she was named. Dad Jay wrote a track to celebrate her birth – and the baby has even appeared on one of his hit singles making crying noises. Already appearing on stage with mum Bey, Blue may in fact grow up to eclipse her famous parents.
1. Suri Cruise
Strictly no longer a baby, seven-year-old Suri has been leading the baby pack for years – mastering the art of running in heels from the age of five, sporting make-up, and reportedly even designing and making her own clothes. The child of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes is definitely the most powerful child that we can think of.

CAFE brief 06/11: DOJ cooperation, mystery company, and endless testimonies
On the latest episode of the CAFE Insider podcast, Preet Bharara and Anne Milgram discuss the voicemail Trump's lawyer John Dowd left for Michael Flynn's attorney, break down the criminal charges against a former sheriff who failed to confront the Parkland high school shooter, and reflect on the lessons from the Central Park Five case. To listen, join the CAFE Insider community. Thank you to all for supporting our work!

As usual, more politically charged legal matters making the headlines — Let's dive in!
DOJ's newfound cooperation
On Monday, the Justice Department agreed to provide the House Judiciary Committee with "key evidence" in the Mueller report related to possible obstruction of justice committed by President Trump. Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) canceled the planned contempt of Congress vote against Attorney General Bill Barr "in a sign of the newfound cooperation." Barr is not off the hook, though, as Rep. Elijah E. Cummings (D-M.D.), who leads the Committee on Oversight and Reform, scheduled a Committee vote for Wednesday to hold Barr and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross in contempt for failing to comply with subpoenas related to the citizenship question on the 2020 Census.
House Judiciary Hearing
On Monday, the House Judiciary Committee held a public hearing focused on the misconduct and potential obstruction of justice laid out in Volume II of the Mueller report. The hearing featured John Dean, the former White House counsel to Richard Nixon, as well as former U.S. Attorneys. According to news analysis by the Washington Post, "The hearing underscored the problems Democrats face in trying to draw attention to Mueller's findings as Trump repeatedly blocks his former White House aides from testifying and cooperating with requests for documents."
Mystery company's subpoena fight
On Friday, a three-judge panel of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ordered the government to unseal grand jury documents related to prosecutors' battle with an anonymous foreign-owned company. U.S. District Court Judge Beryl Howell subsequently released some redacted court records on Friday, but kept the company's identity under seal as it is pertinent to an ongoing investigation initiated by Special Counsel Robert Mueller and passed off to federal prosecutors in D.C. This mysterious legal battle stretches back to July 2018, when Mueller's grand jury subpoenaed the company. The company had defied the subpoena, accumulating a daily fine of $50,000 until February, when it provided 1,000 pages of documents to the Special Counsel's Office.
- The House Intelligence Committee will hold an open hearing on Wednesday that focuses on the counterintelligence findings documented in Volume I of the Mueller report.
- In response to a lawsuit from CNN, U.S. District Court Judge James E. Boasberg in Washington, D.C. held that the FBI must un-redact more portions of memos written by former FBI Director James Comey about his conversations with President Trump.
- In his June 3 testimony before the House Oversight Committee, former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach refused to discuss "the substance of any conversations he had with the president or senior White House advisers" about adding the controversial citizenship question to the 2020 Census. White House Counsel Pat Cipollone told the Committee that Kobach's conversations with Trump and other White House officials "fall squarely within the scope of executive privilege."
- The White House blocked a State Department intelligence agency from submitting written testimony to the House Intelligence Committee that details "possibly catastrophic" consequences of human-caused climate change. The 12-page document was obtained by the Washington Post.
- Chairman Nadler has reportedly been pushing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to launch an impeachment inquiry for President Trump, arguing in a closed-door meeting that it would centralize the investigations for Trump. In meetings with senior Democrats, Pelosi allegedly said: "I don't want to see [Trump] impeached, I want to see him in prison."
- Following his two-hour testimony before a grand jury, former Roger Stone aide Andrew Miller turned over all text messages he exchanged with Stone from October 2016 to March 2017, as well as information related to Stone's activities at the Republican National Convention in 2016.

First of all, what exactly does graphic design mean? The term graphic design refers to a profession that focuses on artistic presentation and visual communication. Various methods are used to create and combine words and imagery to tell a story and communicate a message. Graphic design is used in advertisements, product packaging, web design, magazine layouts and the list goes on and on. But what differentiates between good graphic design and bad graphic design and why is it important to you and your business? Good graphic design is about effective communication.
The goal of every marketing initiative is to clearly communicate your brand message to the masses and strong graphic design can help your message stand out. The old adage, it's not what you say, but how you say it – is a fundamental truth in effective advertising and marketing. How can you expect customers to buy your product or service if they don't know you exist?
To start with, your company has to have a strong logo that is easily recognized and communicates to the customer what you and your company are all about. A strong corporate identity gives you instant credibility and presents a professional appearance. Once you have your logo, you need stylish and professional stationery for all your business communications. That means branded business cards, letterhead and envelopes. Next, marketing collateral is required such as a corporate brochure, sell sheets, case studies and a trade show booth if appropriate.
And finally, in today's internet age, every company requires a web presence to be competitive. Seeing that 1 in 3 North Americans use the internet on a daily bases, having a company website presents an enormous marketing opportunity. And to tie all of this back to graphic design, having marketing materials that are distinctive and memorable can appeal to a wide demographic which can result in increased sales and market share. You can trust the graphic design experts at ZOO Media Group to create attention grabbing, award winning designs that will help your company stand out in the crowd.

When we're trying to grow our businesses, it can feel like we need to invest in and buy #allthethings to get to that next level. Whether it's coaching or a course, it can be hard to commit to just one thing. How can we make sure we're investing only in what we need? What steps can we take to create decision confidence?
On this episode, I talk about the 5 questions we need to ask ourselves in order to get clarity on what we should be investing money, time and effort in.
If you ask these 5 questions, you're going to have a more confident and easy time knowing what to invest in for your business so that you are investing in the right things. -Dana Malstaff
4 Things We Learned From This Episode
- Sometimes it's the discomfort of putting money down on something that gets you to commit to its success.
- Invest in something only when it makes sense for your business.
- Think about your current resources and whether you are utilizing them to their fullest. The last thing you want to do is resource hop.
- Ask yourself: What emotional, financial and environmental factors would ensure the success of the commitment? On the other hand, what emotional, financial and environmental factors would stop it from succeeding?
In order to invest in something that will actually help our business, we have to have a clear goal of what we want that thing to achieve. We need to know where we're most challenged in reaching that goal, and whether we're really maximizing on current resources.
We also need to know the things that will fuel the success of this investment and the potential roadblocks we can plan to overcome. Remember, we also have to ask ourselves if we're willing to get uncomfortable and commit to pushing ourselves to help our businesses succeed.

Empower Texans got down and dirty as its backers attempted to unseat Texas House Republicans Charlie Geren of Fort Worth and Giovanni Capriglione of Southlake. They launched attack ads that attempted to deceive voters about Geren's ties to a lobbyist — his wife — and wrongly claimed Capriglione was not strongly anti-abortion.
An anti-abortion group, Texas Alliance for Life, defended Capriglione. Then the candidate outed Empower Texans in a letter to voters saying: "When I was first elected my opponent's funding source would send me an e each day telling me how to vote. I refused to simply 'go along to get along' and follow their directives."

This case study explores the development and implementation of an innovative, mobile phone-based feedback mechanism by the Danish Refugee Council (DRC) in Somalia. In a complex conflict setting, characterised by major insecurity, lack of access for humanitarian actors, and limited civil participation in state structures, the project piloted the use of mobile phones and internet-based technologies to strengthen communication and feedback between beneficiaries, aid agencies, Somali communities, and the diaspora.
This is one of 15 case studies exploring the dynamics of successful innovation processes in humanitarian action. The case studies examine what good practice in humanitarian innovation looks like, what approaches and tools organisations have used to innovate in the humanitarian system, what the barriers to innovation are for individual organisations, and how they can be overcome. The case studies are synthesised in the summary report, 'More than just luck: Innovations in humanitarian action'.

In bad news for the state government, Bengaluru has emerged as a city with one of the poorest infrastructures in the world, and the worst in country.
According to Mercer's global rankings for this year, the country's IT capital stands at a low 177, mainly due to poor public services and transport.
While Bengaluru was ranked the lowest in the country in terms of infrastructure, Delhi was ranked worst in the country in terms of quality of living, with a global rank of 161.
In a report published in Deccan Herald, Ruchika Pal, principal and India practice leader, Global Mobility, Mercer cited irregular power supply, frequent voltage changes, inadequate public transport, traffic congestion as the key reasons for Bengaluru's poor ranking.
Globally, Baghdad (230) and Port au Prince (231) ranked at the bottom for city infrastructure.
Hyderabad, on the other hand, has been ranked the best city in India in terms of quality of living, with a global rank of 144. On a global scale, Vienna is the best city to live in. It may be noted that Hyderabad was ranked 139th last year, which means it has fallen five spots this time.
Both Hyderabad and Pune ranked higher for quality of living than the countrys traditional business centres Mumbai and New Delhi, which have been ranked at 154 and 161, respectively, by the report.
While New Delhi scored well on account of its airport facility, availability of international schools and low probability of natural disasters, these positives were offset by a variety of negatives including a notorious crime rate, air pollution and water availability, the report said.Read More…

Gabby came out purple and limp. Doctors stabilised her in the neonatal intensive care unit and then began a battery of tests. Within days the Williamses knew their new baby had lost the genetic lottery. Her brain s frontal lobe was smooth, lacking the folds and grooves that allow neurons to pack in tightly. Her optic nerve, which runs between the eyes and the brain, was atrophied, which would probably leave her blind. She had two heart defects. Her tiny fists couldn t be pried open. She had a cleft palate and an abnormal swallowing reflex, which meant she had to be fed through a tube in her nose.

Reconsidering Rudy: Why Rudy was a Major Douche and Jamie O'Hara was Correct
In addition to being a legend on the football field, I'm a prolific essayist and cultural critic. My specialty is re-examining sports movies and documentaries from the past and then telling the hard truths about the messages those movies send. Let's start with the 1993 film Rudy.
I hate Rudy. I've probably watched the movie two dozen times in my life because I don't really watch non-football movies, and I get angrier and angrier with every viewing. If you haven't seen Rudy, let me bring you up to speed in a single sentence: Daniel "Rudy" Ruettiger, a shitty athlete from Joliet, Illinois with bad grades and a disrespectful attitude toward his father and brother, somehow ends up walking on at Notre Dame in the 1970's, sits in the dark and cries while holding a Notre Dame jacket, makes some meaningless tackle at the end of a game he never should have played in, and gets carried off the field.
I could write an entire book about the problems with Rudy—the shameless fetishization of Notre Dame, portraying Rudy's teacher as the "bad guy" for not letting Rudy crash a bus trip to Notre Dame for serious students, making a Notre Dame student seem heartless when she kicks Rudy out of the helmet-painting club (LOL) for lying about being a student, and portraying Dan Devine as a villain for actually doing his job (trying to win) and not wanting to play some walk-on loser who sucks. The list goes on and on. But today, I want to address the most disturbing aspect of Rudy's personality.
Anyone who played high school football almost certainly played with someone like Rudy. And we all hated him. He's the guy who shouts while lifting weights. He shows up to early-morning summer workouts and claims it's his "favorite part of the day." He asks the coach if the team can run extra gassers at the end of practice. He stays out on the practice field for an extra hour hitting the blocking sled. He tries to be a "coach on the field" and yells at his teammates for "not playing through the whistle." He makes a dramatic show of hitting his helmet in frustration when he misses a tackle, which is pretty much every play. He always has the defensive playbook under his arm and reads it alone at lunch. He makes awkward attempts to be friends with the coaches. But above all, he absolutely sucks as a football player and has no hope of ever contributing on the field.
In a just world, there would be no Rudys. High school coaches would have the ability and the willingness to run these losers off before they have a chance to poison practices with their earnestness and "hustling." But we do not live in a just world. We live in a world where this kind of behavior is not only tolerated, but celebrated. And the most shining example of that is Rudy.
There are countless examples of this nonsense in the movie, but one scene in particular stands out. It's Notre Dame's last practice of the season, and as best I can tell, the third string offense is scrimmaging against the scout team defense. In other words, who really gives a shit? It's a time to go through the motions and get done with practice. Instead, Rudy decides to act like Billy Badass and goes blowing through the line at full speed. He tackles running back Jamie O'Hara, portrayed by Vince Vaughn. If Hollywood had any sense of fairness, O'Hara would have kicked Rudy's ass on the spot, and Notre Dame's head coach, Ara Parseghian, would have thrown Rudy off the team for good.
That doesn't happen. Instead, Parseghian self-righteously lectures O'Hara about his own lack of hustle and Rudy's "heart." He then unjustly demotes O'Hara to the "prep team" for doing the right thing.
It's a scene that makes me shake with rage during every viewing. It has, however, had some practical value. I show Rudy to my youth football team every year and explain that if any of them act like Rudy, they'll be forced to wade through the copperhead-infested creek in the woods behind the football field. If Ara Parseghian had done the same, Notre Dame might have more than one national championship since the '70s.

Ozark's Kyle Flavin proved he can shoot the three last season. But he has more proving to do in regard to handling the attention from the opposition that comes with being a sharpshooter.
Emily Edwards' basketball career is in limbo and it appears certain she won't play for Nixa again, but her overall health appears stable after she was diagnosed with a genetic heart condition and underwent successful surgery.
The 19th Annual Nixa Shootouts this month have served as the unofficial tip-off to Kael Combs' career with the Eagles. He recorded his first dunk as part of Nixa's varsity in action this week.
Nixa grad Toshua Leavitt has joined Ozark grad Hannah Cook in the professional ranks.
Having made great strides defensively as a senior, Ozark's Annie Scheer believes she can turn what was once a weakness into a strength now that she will be continuing her hoops career.
Considering Clever coach Justin Snider's passion for calling pitches, there wasn't much bigger of a compliment he could have given catcher Logan Peebles last year than to hand that duty to him.
Harper Little's reputation as a defensive dynamo is such that she has been named to the Missouri Basketball Coaches Association's Class 3 All-State Team, while being Clever's third-leading scorer.
Clever's Allie Clevenger, Abi Menzies and Harper Little all have been named Mid-Lakes First-Team selections.
Nixa's season ended the way it began and played out much too often, with the Eagles adding to their season-long frustrations by failing to hold onto a lead while sputtering in the clutch.
It didn't surprise Ozark coach David Brewer who had the one and only fourth-quarter offensive rebound for Kickapoo that ultimately stymied the Lady Tigers' upset bid Thursday.
We found out Tuesday Brandon Gordon is a hugger.
Nixa's Josh Mason looks for room around Ozark's Kristian Cooper Tuesday in the teams' double-overtime Class 5 District 11 semifinal.
Those who know Madi Braden best probably couldn't imagine her ever telling a lie. She has the look of a Girl Scout, maybe even a Brownie, and fulfills an eager-to-please demeanor.
The task for Ozark in its Class 5 District 11 semifinal with Nixa tonight is the same the Eagles have faced all season, find some way, any way, to pull out a win in a close game.
Chadwick will meet Dora's infamous Luna triplets in the teams' Class 1 Sectional matchup at Mountain Grove on Tuesday. The Cardinals have no brothers on their roster, but feature play-alike combo guards Evan Smith and Trent Nalley.

The future of footwear chain Brantano UK looked uncertain this week after it emerged that restructuring specialist PwC has been called in to review the business.
Alteri, a turnaround fund backed by US private equity firm Apollo Global Management, bought Brantano and its sister retailer, Jones Bootmaker, from Dutch firm Macintosh Retail Group for £12m in October 2015.
It is now working with accountant PwC to explore whether Brantano needs to be restructured, but Drapers understands store closures are likely and some jobs may be at risk.
A source close to the situation said: "Some jobs may be shed as part of the restructure but no plans are in place yet. There are loss-making stores for Brantano and since the sale [to Alteri] they are in discussions with landlords to get out of those leases.
"They are not at the stage of deciding whether administration is the best option. They are looking at lots of options."
He added: "They are looking at both Brantano and Jones, but Brantano is the more challenging business and the restructure will be limited to it, there won't be anything substantial for Jones."
However, suppliers for both Jones Bootmaker and Brantano have expressed concern over the news.
One Jones Bootmaker supplier said: "We are nervous. I'm worried that there might be a pre-pack administration and Jones might be part of it. If you had the chance to get rid of all the unprofitable parts of the business at once, you would rather that than take a separate hit six months down the line."
A Brantano supplier said: "It is business as usual there at the moment but the new owners are in a period of review. You never know what's around the corner. It has been a tough season for everyone, as the weather has been so warm."
One supply source added. "We haven't had any problems with Jones Bootmaker to date so I hope it stays that way."
Drapers understands that all rent and supplier payments from both Brantano and Jones Bootmaker are up to date.
Brantano has 140 stores and 60 concessions in the UK. It lost £4.6m before tax last year, although sales increased by 6% to £100m.
Jones Bootmaker, which has 110 shops and 13 concessions in the UK, made a pre-tax profit of £315,000 for the year to December 31 2014. It made sales after exceptional items of £79.9m.
Macintosh, which still owns the Brantano chain outside of the UK, as well as European footwear retailers Manfield, Invito and Dolcis, appointed JJMC Huppertz and BWGP Meijs as joint administrators on December 22.
Brantano declined to comment.

Spread illustration for Zitty- Familie in Berlin
The illustration was created for Zitty- Familie in Berlin (Family in Berlin; May 2019). Zitty is a lifestyle magazine created for Berliners. The regular issues appear monthly, but there are also different themes explored in separate editions- such as Familie, that are published once a year.
My brief was to create an illustration representing parents too busy with their lifes (both family as professional) to be intimate with each other. The editor preferred intensive colors and characters with "Berlin-look", read: tatooes, no suits, beard etc.
I wanted to create a very dynamic, chaotic scene from young parents' life
Art director: Eva Apraku

Wilde Easter
As Oscar Wilde lay dying in Paris in November 1900, the priest who received him into the Catholic Church was Father Cuthbert Dunne. When the Dublin cleric ended his days in Mount Argus Monastery, the young Brendan Behan was living nearby in Kildare Road. Like Wilde, he also became a professional wit and, referring to that last-minute conversion, Behan commended Wilde for shedding his sins as life ebbed away. He also reminded the world slyly that the two of them had enjoyed their bisexuality:
"Sweet is the way of the sinner
Sad, death without God's praise
My life on you, Oscar boy,
Yourself had it both ways."
Oscar Wilde's Easter Day was published in 1894, six years before that famous deathbed conversion in Paris. It's a bitter-sweet poem.
Easter Day
The silver trumpets rang across the Dome:
The people knelt upon the ground with awe:
And borne upon the necks of men I saw,
Like some great God, the Holy Lord of Rome.
Priest-like, he wore a robe more white than foam,
And, king-like, swathed himself in royal red,
Three crowns of gold rose high upon his head:
In splendour and in light the Pope passed home.
My heart stole back across wide wastes of years
To One who wandered by a lonely sea,
And sought in vain for any place of rest:
"Foxes have holes, and every bird its nest,
I, only I, must wander wearily,
And bruise my feet, and drink wine salt with tears."
Oscar Wilde (1854 – 1900)
The Homeric Argus of Alexander Pope
In Homer's Odyssey, Argus is Odysseus' dog. After ten years fighting in Troy, followed by ten more years struggling to get back to Ithaca, Odysseus finally arrives home only to hear that rivals have taken over his residence in hopes of marrying his wife Penelope. To secretly re-enter the house and spring a surprise attack on them, Odysseus disguises himself as a beggar. As he approaches the entrance, he finds the once-majestic Argus lying neglected and infested with lice. Unlike everyone else, Argus recognizes Odysseus at once and he has just enough strength to wag his tail. Unable to greet his beloved dog, as this would betray who he really is, Odysseus passes by (but not without shedding a tear) and enters the building. Thereupon, Argus dies.
Alexander Pope, who was born in London on this day in 1688, is the second-most frequently quoted writer in The Oxford Dictionary of Quotations after Shakespeare: "A little Learning is a dang'rous Thing." His tribute to Argus is a classic, in the Homeric sense. The image is of Prince, our very own, always-majestic, Argus.
When wise Ulysses, from his native coast
Long kept by wars, and long by tempests toss'd,
Arrived at last, poor, old, disguised, alone,
To all his friends, and ev'n his Queen unknown,
Changed as he was, with age, and toils, and cares,
Furrow'd his rev'rend face, and white his hairs,
In his own palace forc'd to ask his bread,
Scorn'd by those slaves his former bounty fed,
Forgot of all his own domestic crew,
The faithful Dog alone his rightful master knew!
Unfed, unhous'd, neglected, on the clay
Like an old servant now cashier'd, he lay;
Touch'd with resentment of ungrateful man,
And longing to behold his ancient lord again.
Him when he saw he rose, and crawl'd to meet,
('Twas all he could) and fawn'd and kiss'd his feet,
Seiz'd with dumb joy; then falling by his side,
Own'd his returning lord, look'd up, and died!

[I'm starting a new thread here in order to avoid hi-jacking another one.]
Wikipedia, which is as far as I'm likely to go in researching this, says, "the earliest known American reference [to the term 'Scotch-Irish', as opposed to 'Scots-Irish'] appeared in a Maryland affidavit in 1689/90", cites several 18th century uses, while acknowledging it didn't become "popular" till after 1850.
My impression is that the term is commonly used by those Americans who believe it is an accurate designation of their ancestry, whether or not they are "racial fantasists and Protestant bigots" (from another post). I am willing to stand corrected, though ... Americans?

When older members of our family line mentioned our ancestry, my sister and I always heard it as "English, Scotch, Irish, and Dutch"; much more recently, my sister remembered that and noted that the reference may well have started out as "Scotch-Irish". So far as usage in our family, it was oral tradition about our history with no emotional load about religion or politics whatever.

This was published by the American-Irish Historical Society of Concord, New Hampshire.

"I find Scotch and Scots equivalent in this context. Scots is not a drink, though."
Depends where you are! The term "Scotch" was seemingly originally an English term which came into use in Scotland too at a certain date often replacing the home terms of Scots or Scottish (there are various older spellings of these terms like Scottis). At some point, I suspect maybe in the early to mid 20thC, in the wake of the Scottish Literary Renaissance the term Scotch started to fall out of use in Scotland itself and the home grown terms Scots and Scottish reasserted themselves. So in Scotland for the most part the term "Scotch" became more restricted to a descriptive term for certain things like Scotch whisky, Scotch mist, Scotch eggs etc etc. Whereas when talking about themselves or their country Scottish people tend to prefer the terms Scots or Scottish. That change in usage didn't happen so much in the diaspora hence the word Scotch is more common with them when talking about people. But if you call a Scottish person "Scotch" there is a fair chance that they will correct you. They are not likely to be offended but will commonly say "no I am Scottish or Scots" So they are not equivalent terms in Scotland itself.
The term "Scotch Irish" AFAIK tends to be a North American term for the Scottish emigrants who first travelled to Ireland as part of the Ulster Plantation then at some point moved on from there across the Atlantic. This side of the Atlantic both in Scotland and in Ireland itself the descendents of this community tend to be called "Ulster Scots" rather than "Scotch Irish".

I think that word "scotch" in that context is a completely different non-related word from "Scotch" which is an English contraction of "Scottish". The COD gives "scotch" as in to hold back or stop slipping as perhaps coming from an Old French word "escache"
Likewise another non related word to "Scotch" is the word "scotch" meaning to put an end to something which is down as a Middle English word of unknown origin.
Likewise there is the term "scot free" which again is unrelated to the country Scotland or its people. This comes from the word "scot" which was another word for a tax from Old Norse "skot" or Old French "escot"

When I, a 12th generation 'American' was young, I was told that I was "Scots-Irish" ..plus French, Indian & English.
Now that I am deep into the research, I find that while the above is technically true, I have almost NO Irish and am over 90% English... with 'some' of the English going back to those who 'emigrated' from Normandy. I also have some Dutch & Welsh.
It can be difficult for many to trace the details of their past, depending on where & when their ancestors settled and what records were kept. Because my father's family moved from "the colonies" in Delaware, Mass., Conn., N.J. etc.. to western Pennsylvania, there are many records to follow back across the pond.
These days, DNA can give one a pretty good idea of where... if not names & details.

Until the mid 19th century, 'Scotch' was the adjective used on both sides of the border - Scotch beef, Scotch Express or Mail (trains), Scotch mist, Scotch broth, etc. Then along came Prince Albert who married Queen Victoria, and the UK went mad for all things German, including his use of the word 'scottisch', which became 'scottish'.

Again Scotch was an English contraction that also became common in Scotland with other anglicisations of the language in Scotland but it never replaced completely the Scottish forms which were Scottish or Scots often with the early spelling Scottis. So Scotch was "an adjective" that came to be used but was not "the adjective". Earlier usage saw Scots more commonly used if you read earlier Scottish literature. The term Scottish certainly wasnt introduced by Prince Albert and was commonly used before Victorian times. My understanding has always been that the imported term Scotch fell out of popular use in the wake of the Scottish Literary Renaissance of the early to mid 20thC. Same as when other affectations like the over use of apostrophes in literary Scots started to be looked down on by the literarati who wished to go back to more native usage. People like Burns used the term Scotch as it was also being used widely in Scotland by his time but he also used the home grown Scottish terms. There is plenty of evidence of Scots and Scottish being used prior to Victorian times and the likes of the Concise Scots Dictionary confirms Scotch was an imported English usage.

As taught in grade school and high school in the 1950s and 1960s, the term (usually about the origins of the people who settled the Appalachian region) had absolutely no religious or political connotations. And it was decades before I made the connection that "Scotch-Irish" were Ulster Protestants.

"I find that while the above is technically true, I have almost NO Irish and am over 90% English..."
The Ulster Plantation was a mixture of Scottish and English settlers so I imagine that some English did blend in to the Ulster Scots/Scotch Irish community. Let's face it some of the English came from northern England too and there would have been no significant difference between them and their Scottish counterparts north of the border. The Scots and English settlers would have probably have been closer to each other than either community was to the Catholic Irish. The big bulk of the Scots settlers were from southern Scotland that is Ayrshire, Galloway, Renfrewshire, Lanarkshire, Dumfriesshire and the Scottish Borders. I think the point is they weren't actually Irish. At least not initially. There would have been some intermarrying of course but I suppose it depends on how long they were there as to how Irish they became. The biggest numbers moved from Scotland to Ulster in the 1690s. according to professor Devine more moved in that decade than the rest of the 17thC put together. How long would they be there before some moved on to the States. A generation, not even for some I imagine, or perhaps several generations for a few.

It is strange how terms take hold or don't take hold. In the first edition of Ullans (the magazine for writing in Ulster-Scots) there is an article on the poet Robert Huddleston who was born in 1814. He wrote his poems in his own Ulster-Scots dialect. He seems to deny the terms Ulster-Scots or Scotch-Irish. He uses the term Ulster-Irish instead. I would naturally think Ulster-Irish as being the native Gaelic Irish population as I imagine most would think that. But not Huddleston........
"I may not be a Robert Burns to the Lowland Scottish peasantry but at least, let me hope, that I shall one day be a Robert Huddleston to the Ulster Irish"
His reasoning is that in his view the Ulster Scots community were not alien settlers and interlopers but were simply returning to their homeland. ie In regard to the idea that the Scots came originally from Ireland anyway.
He claims that those who called the language Scots or Scotch did so "in unmeaning eccentricity" as that would "tear even the credit of language from its mother land". This of course makes no logical sense as Scots is descended from the Northumbrian dialect of Old Anglo-Saxon and was not brought over by the Gaels from Ireland. It shows how terms can be complicated though and may mean different things to different folk.

I honestly don't think (here in Scotland anyway) that the word Scotch falling out of favour had anything to do with the stereotype of the mean and miserly Scot. It was a general Scottish stereotype and not restricted to the word Scotch. These stereotypes are diminished from what they were but here in the UK two general stereotypes were/are that the Scots are miserly and mean whilst the Irish are thick and stupid. It is still quite common here in Scotland to hear someone say "how Irish is that?" if something appears daft or doesn't make sense. I agree it doesn't mean people saying it are anti-Irish but it is a targeted stereotype none the less.
When I was young it was quite common here in the Scottish Borders anyway to hear mean or miserly behaviour being described as Jewish! Indeed there is a high road near Jedburgh from where you can view the rugby ground without paying and it is was referred to as the 'Jew's Gallery'. And the term "play the white man" to mean act fairly - as if not whites would not act fairly. Folks would generally keep well clear of using these nowadays. I suppose because Scots aren't an oppressed minority like these other groups then the stereotype appears softer and non sinister! Scots in general would just laugh it off - and within Scotland we have the same thing where Aberdonians are stereotyped as miserly.
I honestly think that the word "Scotch" fell out of favour from the 1920s and afterwards because of the Scottish Literary Renaissance where native terms were applied more - and writers in general and probably later the public came to view the word "Scotch" as being more of the kailyard, associated with twee Brigadoonery etc.

Dorothy there would indeed have been some intermarriage but the terms Ulster Scots or Scotch Irish didn't actually come about because families were half Scottish and half Irish - it was because it was a Scottish emigrant community living in Ireland. The Plantation of Ulster came about when James VI of Scotland became James I of England on the death of Queen Elizabeth of England. James had already tried a smaller scale Plantation of Lowland Scots into part of the south-west Highlands. Land was stripped from native Irish land-holders and given to new English and Scottish land owners divided almost equally between the two nationalities. The actual land owners were small in number and the vast bulk of the incomers were poor tenants. The new tenants were both English and Scottish with the Scots tending to be settled in certain areas which became the main centres of the Ulster Scots community there. The numbers were significant by the 1630s but not massive. During the civil war period the numbers reduced because of the hostilities with the native Irish. After that period they grew again reaching a peak in the 1690s when Scotland was in the grip of economic decline and a severe famine in the period called "the ill years" and huge numbers of Scots were moving to Ulster. From there many then later moved on across the Atlantic as many also emigrated to America directly from Scotland too. When Ireland went independent in the early 20thC many in Ulster strongly wished to remain within the UK. Many of the people who wished to remain in the UK would be the descendants of these 17thC Scottish and English migrants. Hence you ended up with a divided Ireland. With the bulk of what had been Ulster forming Northern Ireland which is still part of the UK.

I suppose an easy comparison for Scotch-Irish is think of Italian-Americans. They are people born and living in America who are of mainly Italian descent. Just as Ulster Scots/Scotch Irish were people who were born and living in Ireland who were of mainly Scottish descent.

Well I don't know how things are in the US, but here the use of "Scotch" in relation to Scotland and Scottish people is regarded with disfavour, and if you talk about "Scotch people" or "the Scotch" as a race you will be regarded as ignorant. "Scotch-Irish" is an unhelpful term and it's far better to find a substitute. The term "Scotch" should be used only for those other things we've mentioned, such as Scotch whisky, butterscotch, hopscotch, Scotch broth, Scotch mist, etc. And you're no less ignorant if you write "Scotch whiskey." If I'm just talking about "whisky" in generic terms that's the spelling I personally default to, though "whiskey" is fine if that's the way you want it. That's how things are these days this end, as I see them anyway.
