Oberlin College scheduled to start trial this week, there is much back and forth among political and legal analysts as to “what it is” and “what it is not.” For the most part, regardless of the political leanings of the various parties observing from the outside, this is still a basic tort law case involving libel and defamation.

Former Obama Spokeswoman: Elizabeth Warren ungrateful, owes Joe Biden for her political career

Posted by William A. Jacobson on April 27, 2019 17 Comments

Elizabeth Warren has been tearing into Joe Biden since Biden announced he's running for president. Warren, whose polling and fundraising is underwhelming, clearly is not happy that Biden beat everyone, even Bernie and Beto, in his first 24 hour haul of $6.3 million. That's more than Warren raised the entire 1st Quarter of 2019.

NY Times publishes clearly anti-Semitic cartoon, deletes only after intense criticism

Posted by Fuzzy Slippers on April 27, 2019 63 Comments

The left's alarming and increasingly blatant Anti-Semitism has reached new lows. The New York Times International edition published an absolutely appalling cartoon depicting Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, who is featured as a dachshund, leading a presumably "blind" President Trump. It is so horrifically offensive that the New York Times has since deleted the image online and issued an Editor's Note explaining that publishing it was an "error in judgment" because the cartoon is "offensive" for containing "anti-Semitic tropes." I'm not sure how effective such a note can possibly be since we have all just had (re)confirmed our worst fears about that publication.
