One might assume that an environmentally-minded firm such as a plastic recycler would enjoy doing business in deep-blue California. That assumption is entirely wrong.

Gibson’s Bakery: If Oberlin College appeals, we will seek reinstatement of full $44 million original verdict

Posted by William A. Jacobson on August 08, 2019 66 Comments

The Gibson's Bakery v. Oberlin College lawsuit has entered two post-trial phases: (1) Post-trial motions then appeals, and (2) public relations. As part of this jockeying, Oberlin College's president Carmen Twillie Ambar has written op-eds and given interviews in which she asserts that Oberlin College was held responsible for the speech of students. This, she argues, presents a threat to campus 1st Amendment rights because it could force universities to clamp down on student speech to avoid liability.

New Hollywood Film “The Hunt” Features Liberal Elites Hunting “Deplorables” for Sport

Posted by Mike LaChance on August 08, 2019 70 Comments

A new movie set for release this September called The Hunt is suspending its ad campaign in the wake of the shootings in El Paso and Dayton. The plot of the film is as political as it is disgusting. The story is about "deplorables" hunted legally by liberal elites for sport. This is essentially political murder-porn for progressives.

Posted by Vijeta Uniyal on August 08, 2019 46 Comments

German Chancellor Angela Merkel's ruling Christian Democratic party (CDU) has supported plans to raise meat prices to fight climate change. The meat tax, initially proposed by the Social Democrats (SPD) and the Green Party, will sharply increase the prices of meat products by raising the tax rate from the current rate of 7 percent to 19 percent.

Huh? “One good way to take action against what India is doing in Kashmir would be to boycott Israel”

Posted by William A. Jacobson on August 08, 2019 14 Comments

The anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement insists it is merely "pro-Palestinian" and not anti-Semitic. There is a mountain of evidence otherwise, but sometimes there is a clarifying moment as to how calls to boycott Israel have become mainstreamed. Such a moment came on Twitter regarding India's recent moves in Kashmir, which we covered in India Revokes Special Status for Muslim-Majority Kashmir, May Open Up Region to Hindu Immigration.

Protect your rights against those claiming a crisis

Posted by William A. Jacobson on August 07, 2019 62 Comments

Every time I think the media-Democrat frenzy could not get any more frenzied, it gets more frenzied. How seamlessly they have transitioned from almost three years of Russia-collusion-mania to the current frenzy claiming that anyone and everyone who supports Donald Trump is a white supremacist.

Legal Insurrection Foundation opposes proposed anti-Israel public school curriculum in California

Posted by Samantha Mandeles on August 07, 2019 15 Comments

Legal Insurrection has long tracked and opposed the spread of anti-Israel curricula at the university level, and has documented efforts to push that political activism into high school and elementary schools. Our research and litigation exposing anti-Israel activism in a third-grade class in Ithaca received national attention, VIDEO: Activists manipulate third-graders into hating Israel. One of the most audacious anti-Israel propaganda efforts is taking place right now in California, through the proposed California Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum (ESMC). As described below, Legal Insurrection joins over 80 groups in opposing ESMC and urging California educational authorities to revise the curriculum to remove clear politicization designed to imbue young students with hatred of Israel.

Nicole Wallace Falsely Accuses Trump of ‘Talking About Exterminating Latinos,’ Offers Lame Apology after uproar

Posted by Mary Chastain on August 07, 2019 44 Comments

TONE DOWN THE RHETORIC. Guess what, leftists. You cannot have it both ways. You want President Donald Trump to tone down his rhetoric then you guys must do the same thing. First, we had Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX) tweet out San Antonio donors because they fuel "a campaign of hate that labels Hispanic immigrants as 'invaders.'" Then we had MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace stress that Trump talks "about exterminating Latinos" during a conversation with USA Today columnist Raul Reyes. Now Reyes isn't innocent either as he claimed Trump "basically declared open season on Latinos."
