OBERLIN, OHIO — On the night of November, 8, 2016, Donald Trump was elected president and the country was forever changed. But for my family, it was the following night--November 9, 2016--that our world was turned upside down and has never been set right. Late that night, my husband, David, came home from work and told me that there had been a shoplifting incident at our bakery, Gibson’s. We’ve been in business for 137 years, so we’ve had our fair share of shoplifters, including earlier that very week.(Snip)...I’ll be forced to declare bankruptcy and shut the doors of Gibson’s for good.
The Ohio Supreme Court just refused to accept jurisdiction over Oberlin College’s appeal (the Court also refused to hear the Gibsons’ appeal seeking to reinstate the full punitive damages award). It was a 4-3 decision, and it means the Gibsons now can collect approximately $36 million.
If you want to know what someone is all about, watch what they do, not what they say.(Snip)All summer long, while Oberlin College President Carmen Twillie Ambar made grand pronouncements about the importance of access to reproductive healthcare, the institution she leads had removed a substantial part of it from its Student Health Services.(Snip)What Ambar also failed to mention is that by the time classes resume this fall, students seeking out a common form of reproductive healthcare--the pill--will find it harder to obtain. Wanting the pill simply not to endure an unwanted pregnancy will no longer be acceptable enough reason on Oberlin’s campus to get it.

How is Oberlin getting away with this? When does Gibson’s Bakery get what is owed to them? Ellie Gardey writes at the American Spectator: Oberlin College, Facing $36 Million Penalty for Defamatory Woke Activism, Dives Deeper Into Wokism The historically liberal Oberlin College, located in Oberlin, Ohio, is still refusing to pay up for defaming Gibson’s Bakery as racist in 2016. The college, which is financially underwater, has now asked the Ohio Supreme Court to halt the multi-million dollar judgment while it appeals the decision for the second time.
With mail-in ballots becoming a feature of all future elections, the United States government, specifically the United States Postal Service (USPS) is now creating a permanent division inside USPS to control the delivery and return of the election ballots. Do you know the political affiliation of your mail courier? As often said, it’s not the vote that matters, it’s the counting….or in this instance, the collection of the votes that really matters.(Snip)Keep in mind the union representing 300,000 U.S. postal workers previously endorsed Democrat Joe Biden for president. The National Association of Letter Carriers, is a fully compromised left-wing division of the USPS.
We found out on Thursday the Biden administration will fill in the gaps in Trump’s border wall near Yuma, AZ. Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre about Biden’s comments when he was a candidate. Jean-Pierre: "We are not finishing the wall." You’re not? I know this administration loves to change language and linguistics, but this is too much. Also, in 2019, Jean-Pierre called Trump’s wall racist. Is it racist when Biden does it? Jean-Pierre had the hardest time justifying the action while calling it ineffective and racist and claiming you’re just cleaning up Trump’s mess while trying to save lives:
It is over 3 years since Gibson’s Bakery obtained judgment against Oberlin College for almost $32 million, which with accumulated interest nears $36 million, the amount of a bond posted by the college through Zurich American Insurance to secure the judgment. Neither “Grandpa” Allyn Gibson nor his son David Gibson lived to see the Gibson family collect. They both passed away, as Oberlin College waited them out. Oberlin College has done everything possible to delay the Gibson’s getting the money, including an appeal which the college lost and another appeal to the Ohio Supreme Court, which has not yet ruled on whether it will hear the case.
A Pennsylvania man named Mark Aungst who was set to be sentenced over his presence in the Capitol on January 6th has committed suicide. He was 47-years-old and leaves behind a daughter and other family members. Hasn’t all of this gone far enough?(Snip)Earlier this year, another Pennsylvania man named Matthew Perna also committed suicide while awaiting sentencing over January 6th. According to Julie Kelly, this is the third suicide. People are expressing sadness and anger on Twitter. What’s being done to the January 6th defendants is un-American, and it’s past time for our leaders in Washington to say so in a unified voice.
On Tuesday, President Joe Biden’s administration said climate change can “force” military invention after once again calling it a “national security issue.”(Snip)“...we’re going to treat it that way,” he concluded.(Snip)Kirby said climate change impacts the U.S. military’s readiness “because our--our troops, our sailors, our Marines, our airmen, our Coast Guardsmen are being called out for--to respond to natural disasters, which are getting worse because of climate change.”(Snip)The Biden administration’s expensive focus on climate change comes as Americans struggle to put food on the table amid skyrocketing inflation. Over the last year, inflation has risen 9.1 percent--the largest spike in nearly 40 years.
What is Jim Jordan up to?

Perhaps U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan was distracted. If he was, that could explain the Urbana Republican’s dismissal of the Respect for Marriage Act, which passed the House Monday, as “unnecessary.” Anyone with even a passing familiarity with U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’ concurring opinion in the decision striking down Roe v. Wade knows about the conservative justice’s ominous suggestions. (Snip) Thomas wrote that the court should overturn decisions that protect same-sex marriage, same-sex sexual relations and access to contraceptives. All are rooted in the due process clause of the Constitution and the right to privacy that undergirded Roe.
One day, I will no longer write about covid.(Snip)After two years of covid lockdowns, restrictions, and progressive virtue signaling with promises of being able to contain an uncontainable virus, the country is seeing a surge in covid cases. Laughably, officials say they “know how to manage it.” Top U.S. health officials warned Tuesday that a surge of COVID-19 cases driven by the highly transmissible Omicron subvariant BA.5 has arrived, but stressed that the country has the tools--like vaccines and antiviral treatments--to prevent people from getting seriously ill.(Snip)The public health emergency has been in effect, with extensions, since January 2020.

Hillary Clinton may have been a 2016 presidential candidate, the former First Lady and U.S. Secretary of State, but now she’s making the rounds in the film industry.
The 74-year-old made a rare appearance at the Venice Film Festival on Wednesday and her attendance confused some who wondered why she was there.
Clinton posed on the red carpet for the premiere of director Noah Baumbach’s forthcoming Netflix film, “White Noise.” She ditched her usual pantsuit look and instead donned a baby blue kaftan and shiny flats for the evening.
President Biden has formally announced plans to give civilian federal employees a pay raise next year, an election-year promise bound to please government workers struggling with high inflation like the rest of the voters. In a letter to congressional leadership, Mr. Biden said civilian federal employees will see an average 4.6% boost in pay beginning Jan. 1, consistent with his 2023 budget proposal in the spring. The raise includes an across-the-board 4.1% increase and locality pay that will increase by an average of 0.5%. Mr. Biden cited a growing pay gap between federal civilian and private sector employees that have led to recruitment and retention challenges
Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi repeatedly said abortion restrictions are “sinful,” standing in direct contradiction to her Catholic faith.
Pelosi made the comments during an Aug. 26 Roundtable on Women’s Reproductive Health at the University of California, San Francisco. (snip) Pelosi has referred to herself as a “devout Catholic” despite the conflict between her stance on abortion and the Roman Catholic Church’s teaching on the issue. The church teaches that abortion is a “moral evil” and “gravely wrong” because “human life begins at conception,” according to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
DENVER — During the dog days of summer, it's important to keep your home cool. But when thousands of Xcel customers in Colorado tried adjusting their thermostats Tuesday, they learned they had no control over the temperatures in their own homes.
Temperatures climbed into the 90s Tuesday, which is why Tony Talarico tried to crank up the air conditioning in his partner's Arvada home.
"I mean, it was 90 out, and it was right during the peak period," Talarico said. "It was hot." That's when he saw a message on the thermostat stating the temperature was locked due to an "energy emergency.
According to White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, Joe Biden considers Trump supporters an “extreme threat to our democracy.”
“President thinks that there is an extremist threat to our democracy,” Jean-Pierre said during Wednesday’s press briefing. “The President has been clear as he can be on that particular piece. When we talk about our democracy, when we talk about our freedoms, the way that he sees it is the MAGA Republicans are the most energized part of the Republican Party. That extreme — this is an extreme threat to our democracy, to our freedom, to our rights.”
Later, Jean-Pierre also falsely claimed that MAGA Republicans “just don’t respect
President Joe Biden declared Donald Trump is a 'threat to the country' in a speech that contained his harshest rhetoric to date about his predecessor in the Oval Office and the MAGA movement.
'Equality and democracy are under assault. We do ourselves no favor to pretend otherwise,' Biden declared at the top of his remarks before Philadelphia's Independence Hall.
He called out Trump by name, slamming the former president for his false claim the 2020 election was stolen and berating those who support Trump.
'Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represented extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic,'
An academic in Belgium has come under fire for an unearthed “research” paper in which he admits to being a paedophile and argues that society should be more tolerant of “minor-attracted persons” and that the LGBTQ+ community should accept peadophiles as a “sexual minority.” An academic paper published earlier this year on the website Controversial Ideas by “Brecht Vaerwaeter”—a pseudonym apparently used to protect the author from criminal prosecution—argues that paedophilia should be classified as just another sexual orientation and that “minor-attracted persons” (MAPs) should be accepted by society. He argues that “many men, as well as some women, are attracted almost exclusively to minors” and therefore
Biden Takes On the Soul of the Nation

Thursday night, Joe Biden takes to the airwaves to “continue his battle for the soul of the nation.” Sounds kinda biblical -- this must be God at work. As to the outcome of this battle, Joe and his godless legions might be in for a little surprise.
Ahead of the midterms, Biden, whose handlers smell a shellacking coming Democrats’ way, is expected to try to frame the elections as a choice between Orange Man Bad’s 74 million voters and Joe’s collection of Marxists, establishment hacks, wannabe oligarchs, lifer bureaucrats, race hustlers, LGBTQIA+ zanies, and freeloaders.

Not unlike Mark Twain, Joe Biden is known for his stories — for real; not a joke.
And on Tuesday, the Leader of the Free World regaled gathered fans with a tale of criminal comeuppance. As it turns out, long ago in Wilmington, Delaware, a group of gangs had a penchant for mayhem. But Joe saw to it that their spree was nipped in the bud. The future Commander-in-Chief clobbered crime with that most effective of weapons, a phone number.
While speaking in Wilkes-Barres, Pennsylvania, he spun his campfire yarn:
“I remember…on the East Side in Wilmington, in one of those old Victorian…three-story apartment buildings.
Texas sent around 100 migrants to Chicago on Wednesday, as Republican Governor Greg Abbott expands his effort to push responsibility for border crossers to his Democratic political opponents.
The buses arrived at Chicago's Union Station at around 7:30pm - after it was revealed that Texas has already spent $12million on taking migrants to New York City and Washington DC.
Among the 100 or so people who were on the buses, around 20 to 30 were small children. Pregnant women and children were among the busload. The migrants said they were from Venezuela.
Texas has bused more than 7,000 migrants to Washington DC and New York City since April,

Joe Biden is going deliver a speech about “the soul of the nation” on Thursday night to a national audience.
He is expected to target and declare war against his political enemies in the speech.
Biden specifically is going to target those Americans who want to “Make America Great Again” and label them a domestic threat.
The regime will not tolerate dissent. Enough is enough.
This looks to be a speech for the ages, right up their with Chavez, Castro, Stalin and Marx.
Do you periodically enjoy an adult beverage? I’m talking, of course, about a milkshake — the kind with whipped cream on top.
New York stores are now checking identification per a state law aimed to reduce drug deaths. The measure bans the sale of whipped cream canisters to anyone under 21.
From the Albany Times Union:
The chargers that propel whipped cream through a canister nozzle are filled with nitrous oxide gas, which can be inhaled to produce a high. The inhalant has long been a popular recreational drug — called “whippets” — among teenagers due to the availability of whipped cream canisters at grocery and convenience stores.

Ohio’s Supreme Court consists of seven members. Chief Justice Maureen O’Connor (R) and three Democrat Justices (Michael Donnelly, Melody Stewart and Jennifer Brunner) ruled in favor of a stay. Republican Justices Sharon Kennedy, Patrick Fischer and Patrick DeWine dissented.
