Lies of the Left
This COULD be a lengthy post. But, I'll try to winnow it down to a reasonable length.

- The CA Parent Bribery 'Scandal' - the 1st parent is sentenced - Felicity Huffman. Some people are FauxTraged that she "only" got 14 days incarceration. Keep in mind that the money was - for a Beverly Hills type - small ($15K). The sentence is being used to fuel more "Blacks are sentenced more harshly for less" memes. The truth is more nuanced, and undercuts the 'racism' shouts.
- Meanwhile, an older article I'd bookmarked for a possible post was just found (while clearing out old bookmarks), and it seems particularly relevant now.
- It's an old post on Reason, but still valid - what students don't understand about how our economy work.
- Too many people have little sense of proportion, leading to over-reporting of minor things to police. A kid is reported as a threat for posing with a Nerf gun.
- Immigrants should NOT get a "Three Strikes (or more)" until they are deported. The FIRST crime should have them getting the Boot. There is NO evidence that a misogynistic asshole will renounce a lifetime of demeaning and abusing women, if he is an immigrant.
- A pregnant woman is being coerced to sign a non-disclosure agreement, or forfeit her healthcare rights. Where are the women's organizations on this?
- Time to saddle up, and bring in the culprits.
- Internet De-Platforming - the solution is to enforce Section 230. Content Providers are either:
- Viewpoint neutral, in which case they are immune from any lawsuit for the content, or,
- Viewpoint controlling, in which case they may be sued for content. No other option.
