When Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley announced she would be a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Ohio governor, the contest apparently ended.

Cincinnati Mayor John Cranley, who said he would announce his candidacy this summer, need not bother. Find another race, brother. The fix is in.

You see, the Ohio Democratic Party tends to nominate people for governor and senator whose turn it is to run, rather than who is the best candidate.

In fact, the only Democrat to win the governorship and then win re-election in more than 60 years was none other than Dick Celeste, who defeated favorite Billy Brown and upstart Jerry Springer in the primary in 1982.

Democrats Mike DiSalle  in 1962, Jack Gilligan  in 1974 and Ted Strickland in 2010 lost their re-election bids in part because they were weak candidates in the first place.

One has to go all the way back to Frank Lausche to find another Democrat who won a second term. Lausche won a second 2-year term in 1950 and third one 1952.

Basically, Derek Chauvin was convicted of enforcing the status quo. Because his behavior was caught on video — his knee on George Floyd’s neck, oh my God, choking him to death — and looked so disturbing to most of the public, official American “justice” had to take some sort of action.

He became a scapegoat.

Virtual Press Briefing Wednesday, April 28, 2021, at 12 p.m. Eastern

Immigrant rights advocates, along with deported community members and their families, will hold a virtual briefing to unveil a proposal for the Biden administration to establish a process to allow people who have been unjustly deported from the United States a chance to come home.

The briefing — hosted by the National Immigrant Justice Center (NIJC), Ohio Immigrant Alliance, New York University Law School Immigrant Rights Clinic, and We Are Home Campaign — coincides with the release of NIJC’s new white paper, “A Chance to Come Home: A Roadmap to Bring Home the Unjustly Deported.” The paper proposes a centralized Department of Homeland Security office to consider requests from deported individuals seeking to reunite with their loved ones and communities in the United States.

WHAT: Advocates, along with deported individuals and their families, will brief press and allies on their proposed roadmap to welcome home the unjustly deported and explain why a centralized office to redress injustices in the system is needed.
