Robert Reich, the Second Amendment, and mass murder
Robert Reich was the Secretary of Labor and is a professor at Berkley. In theory, that means he’s a pretty smart guy.
However, for a supposedly intelligent man, he says some really dumb things from time to time.
Like this tweet from Sunday.

I’ll take “How to spot a race hustler” for $1000, Alex
As you might have noticed, it has become de rigueur to regard whiteness as a very bad thing. In a USA Today article “America’s overdue reckoning with white supremacy: ‘We have allowed evil to flourish” the lily white liberal Kirsten Powers goes to great efforts in an attempt to purge herself of her original sin. There is nothing more insufferable than the self-righteous virtue signaling white liberal. The article makes a reference to George Floyd.
Then we have an even more overt message- whiteness itself is evil. Kesha Hamilton is a Michigan school board member.
Hamilton made a statement to Fox News
“Whiteness defined is ‘white racialized identity (which) refers to the way that white people, their customs, culture and beliefs operate as the standard by which all other groups are compared,” she said.
“Whiteness is a construct, a normalization with a foundation in white supremacy, recent examples of the normalization of whiteness with a foundation of white supremacy are the murder of George Floyd, the massacre of Black residents in Buffalo, NY, the attempted kidnapping of MI Governor Whitmer, the attack on our Democracy on January 6th, 2021, inconsistencies of our criminal justice system, etc.”

A GREAT END-OF-MONTH 2A READ
I’m proud to say Larry Correia is a friend of mine. Most of the world knows him as a large bear of a man who happens to be the favorite science fiction author of many people, myself included. But he is also one of the strongest modern voices for gun owners’ civil rights.
I’ve just completed my review copy of his new book, “In Defense of the Second Amendment,” and I have to say it’s outstanding. Larry uses nuclear grade Common Sense to destroy the arguments of the prohibitionists. The book finishes with many pages of citations from authoritative sources which support his points.

GOODBYE, BLUE MONDAY
Recently, the libertarian Cato Institute released their 2022 Human Freedom Index, and it’s not encouraging. Excerpt:
On a scale of 0 to 10, where 10 represents more freedom, the average human freedom rating for the 165 jurisdictions fell from 7.03 in 2019 to 6.81 in 2020. Most areas of freedom fell, including significant declines in the rule of law and freedom of movement, expression, association and assembly, and freedom to trade. Based on that coverage, 94.3 percent of the world’s population lives in jurisdictions that saw a fall in human freedom from 2019 to 2020, with 148 jurisdictions decreasing their ratings and 16 improving.
And the United States? One of the nations that saw a lower human freedom rating. Cato rates nations on a number of criteria:

Whistleblower Teacher Ramona Bessinger Targeted For Viewpoint Discrimination At Providence High School Even Before Arrived, Records Reveal
Records obtained by Legal Insurrection Foundation reveal that when Bessinger was involuntarily transferred to Classical High in late August 2022, after her middle school whistleblowing retaliation, an influential teacher already was organizing against her based on Bessinger’s viewpoints
The Providence Public School District has been in the news recently due to its racially discriminatory conduct against white teachers, which has been challenged by Legal Insurrection Foundation:
Before that, we spotlighted Providence (RI) teacher Ramona Bessinger. Our most recent post on October 8, 2022, gives the history of Bessinger’s struggles ever since she blew the whistle in a post at Legal Insurrection about the corrupting influences of a new radicalized and racialized curriculum at her middle school, Providence (RI) Schools Bow To Radical Mob, Remove Whistleblower Ramona Bessinger From Teaching Position.
