“California Shopper In Ku Klux Klan Hood Alarms Shoppers, Officials,” was a headline ran by the Huffington Post on Monday May 4th 2020. Customers and local officials blasted a grocery shopper in a San Diego suburb who was photographed wearing a Ku Klux Klan hood — apparently to provocatively conform to the county’s coronavirus face mask requirements.

Wednesday April 29th the National Review ran the following headline “California’s Ammo Background Checks Misfire.” ‘Criminals, tyrants, and terrorists don’t do background checks,’ said the judge who blocked the law. California’s attempts to discourage gun ownership hit a bump Thursday. U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez granted a preliminary injunction that stopped the state from enforcing its background checks on ammunition purchases. The initiative, which was spearheaded by Gavin Newsom when he was the lieutenant governor, passed in 2016 with 63 percent of the vote. The background checks have failed miserably, succeeding only in preventing law-abiding citizens from buying ammunition. Between […]

Recently, The Washington Examiner reported, “Harvard Law Professor Against Home Schooling Forgets To Check Her Class Privilege.” A Harvard law professor argues that home schooling is a form of authoritarian control but believes forcing all children to go to a government-run school is not. I wish this statement was a strawman. But it is not. Elizabeth Bartholet, professor of law at Harvard University, advances this exact argument in an interview in the May-June issue of Harvard Magazine. “The issue is, do we think parents should have 24/7, essentially authoritarian control over their children from ages zero to 18? I think […]

The Insider, on Thursday April 23rd, ran this headline, “A Judge in Texas says she was forced to remove a rainbow pride flag from her courtroom after a defense attorney complained.” It seems an openly gay judge in Texas says she was forced to remove a rainbow pride flag from her courtroom after a defense lawyer filed a complaint about it. Judge Rosie Speedin Gonzalez told NBC News that she was told to remove the flag, and a traditional Mexican cloth called a sarape, as well as rainbow patterned eyeglasses, a pen, and a mouse pad, after the State Commission […]

Tuesday, April 21st, The Miami Herald reported, “More Than A Million Americans Won’t Get Stimulus Money Because They Married Immigrants.” The article states that more than one million Americans won’t get a coronavirus stimulus check because they’re married to immigrants who don’t have Social Security numbers. Under the CARES Act, individuals earning up to $75,000 will get $1,200, plus $500 for dependents under the age 17. But families that file taxes with an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), which the IRS gives to workers who don’t have Social Security numbers, won’t get a stimulus check unless a spouse is part […]
