Tuesday’s clown show in the House of Representatives shows just how far off the rails the Democratic Party has gone. After Speaker Pelosi had been ruled out of order by the House Parliamentarian for referring to PDJT as racist, the Democrats restored her speaking privileges showing that they do not believe that they have to follow the rules.
Oberlin College continues to play the victim card. After the massive $11 million compensatory and $33 million punitive damage verdicts (later reduced to $25 million under Ohio tort reform caps) against it for defaming Gibson’s Bakery and its owners, Oberlin College should have looked at its own conduct in nearly destroying a 135-year-old family business. One would think a unanimous verdict and a large punitive damage award would cause some reflection on the college’s part in the hopes of rectifying clearly immoral and illegal conduct.
One would be wrong, of course. From the moment the initial verdict was handed down by the jury, Oberlin College has attempted to portray itself as the victim. The college says that it was held liable for the speech of its students.
William Jacobson, who writes for Legal Insurrection, represented the only national media outlet to be present throughout the trial. The day the verdict was handed down he predicted that the college would not take responsibility and he was right.
Food for thought.
Jussie Smollett was a great example of how white privilege works in this country. Not!

Gibson’s Bakery in Oberlin, Ohio, is a family business which started in 1885. It sells lots of different baked goods along with wine and other foods.
Break up the Yankees!
It was a refrain that was heard from time to time in the middle of the last century. The New York Yankees were the best team in Major League Baseball (MLB) for a long time. From the time of Babe Ruth, through Gehrig, DiMaggio, Mantle and Maris they piled up American League pennants and World Championships in the House That Ruth Built, Yankee Stadium.
