There are a lot of things about the way Oberlin College handled the Gibson’s Bakery dispute and lawsuit that have had me wondering who, if anyone, is in control over there.
As mentioned numerous times, “
A jury has awarded Gibson’s Bakery and its owners $11 million in compensatory damages against Oberlin College, for libel, intentional interference with business, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The punitive damage hearing next week could add another $22 million, bringing the total to $33 million.
There will be post-trial motions to...

When a coalition of student groups at Cornell University, led by Students for Justice in Palestine, recently tried to pass a divestment resolution against certain companies doing business in Israel, a couple of interesting things happened.
First, as is now a common tactic, the dispute was racialized to portray it as a...

When Elizabeth Warren rolled-out her DNA test in October 2018, there was a lot of laughter and mockery because the test revealed that she may be as little as 1/1024th Native American by DNA. Even that finding was suspect given the DNA sample used for comparison was not from North American...
Elizabeth Warren has been getting a lot of good press lately as she rolls out a series of dramatic proposals to fundamentally change the society she views as rigged.
These proposals, far grander...
Later this week the jury in Gibson Bros. v. Oberlin College should get the case.
I wanted to put down some thoughts as Verdict Day approaches.
Michigan Representative Rashida Tlaib attempted to rewrite history recently by claiming that the Arabs of the British Mandate for Palestine (they would not be called “Palestinians” until decades later) provided “safe haven” to Jews before, during, and after the Holocaust.
Here’s the controversial quote from Tlaib (emphasis added):
Elizabeth Warren has been trying to escape her Native American deception since 2012.
She has tried almost everything, including the disastrous DNA test.
In early December 2018, Israel launched “Operation Northern Shield,” the effort to locate and destroy Hezbollah cross-border tunnels along the Lebanese border in northern Israel.
There were many dramatic videos of the operation, including that moment when Hezbollah operatives on the Lebanese side came face-to-face with an Israeli surveillance camera inserted into...
You thought Bibi Netanyahu won the April 9, 2019, elections, right?
Well, he did but didn’t.
Mitch McConnell’s decision not to permit confirmation proceedings for Obama Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland in 2016 is an open, oozing, and painful wound from which Democrats have not emotionally recovered.
McConnell just poured salt in that wound.
Robert Mueller’s statement today could have served only one purpose — to breath life into Democrat attempts to commence impeachment proceedings against Trump.
Mueller didn’t add any substance to the 400-page report, and most of his statement was related to procedures, including his resignation, the closing of the special counsel’s office, and...
Donald Trump has branded Joe Biden as “Sleepy Joe.” That came as something of a surprise to me, as I expected “Creepy Joe,” based on Biden’s well-publicized creepy invasions of female personal spaces.
But who am I to second-guess Trump when it comes to branding political opponents. Every time I see Jeb...
