I’ve followed Legal Insurrection Oberlin College, but Clarice points out some things I’ve missed and adds some good comments on other topics

Arrogant Conceit and Pratfalls

By Clarice Feldman

FTA:
It’s foolish to think that this case impacts only Oberlin. Insurance companies are not as stupid as the Oberlin administrators and surely are reviewing the fees they charge colleges and universities for tortious liability claims. Every one of them will pay more. Will this come out of the payroll of the very bloated administrative salaries they are paying? Not unless trustees finally get off their duffs and do their job of fiscal and policy oversight. I do not see Oberlin long surviving this and that’s as it should be.

Collins Warns Nadler About Rules Of Conduct In Upcoming ‘Mock-Impeachment Inquiry’

Kerry Picket

FTA:
According to Collins, House Judiciary Democrats scheduled what appears to be an impeachment inquiry without officially launching an impeachment inquiry but have no plans to abide by long-standing House Rules. Collins reminded Nadler in a letter that outside an official impeach inquiry, members are restricted from accusing the president of a crime.
...
Collins continued, “The core component of the Rules governing decorum is Members may not ‘engage in personalities’ with Members of Congress, Senators, or the President. Considering the topic of Monday’s hearing, I encourage all Members of the Judiciary Committee to read Jefferson’s Manual.”

Several Democratic members have already broken these rules of conduct. On May 8 at a committee hearing, Democratic California Rep. Eric Swalwell referred to President Trump as a “pathetic person.”

THE SECOND PART OF CLARICE FELDMAN’S ARTICLE

https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/06/arrogant_conceit_and_pratfalls.html

“....The Arrogance and Conceit of Foreign Policy “Experts”

In like matter, the foreign policy “experts” decried the President’s ability to handle foreign relations because, after all, he was “just” a very successful real estate developer and TV personality with no coherent strategy — that is to say, he was ignoring their advice. Time and again he’s proven them wrong, and this week was no exception.

He had a very congenial meeting with the Queen of England, wowed at the D-Day celebrations, and returned home to announce a deal had been cut with Mexico to help stem the tide of Central Americans caravanning through the country to cross our borders.

Congress refuses to act on this influx of illegals. Obama-appointed judges have done what they could to limit his opportunities to halt it. The media are full of sob stories about the invaders, tarring as “racists” those who oppose them. Experts decried Trump’s threat to impose tariffs with a variety of warnings about consequences — from a rise in Chipotle prices and avocado shortages to a trade war-caused depression. Indeed, the left reportedly was already preparing ads about the devastation to our farmers. Then came the deal — obviously encouraged by our negotiators presenting a list of doable things that Mexico could do and wasn’t.

Mexico will send thousands of their troops to the Guatemalan border and elsewhere to intercept the caravan’s passage through Mexico. Persons arriving from Mexico into our country to file for asylum will be returned to Mexico where they will await processing of their claims, Mexico agrees to purchase substantial amounts of U.S. agricultural products. Two leaders of the caravan movement were arrested by Mexico. Twenty-six funders of the caravans had their accounts frozen. In return, the president “indefinitely suspended” the imposition of the threatened tariffs on Mexico. To those doubting Thomases: Trump cocked the hammer, didn’t need to fire, but hasn’t yet locked up the pistol.

Those experts who said that nothing could be done and who were critical of the tariff threat are probably drowning their guacamole in salty tears.”

This is good to hear their nonsense is finally going to catch up with them.

I've been saying the same thing when it comes to these tech companies and other corporations, who willingly discriminate against conservatives, once the investors and their lawyers catch up to how the CEO's have mismanaged their investments in this way.

There are laws on the books where the heads of these companies cannot mismanage companies. When the investors and their lawyers figure out the CEO's are discriminating in a way it hurts potential revenue, these companies are in bigly trouble.

Of course, Hillary wasn't suppose to lose and these elites used to be above the law but it's good to see colleges now being held accountable. Heads of companies and businesses are next on the list. WINNING!
