   Critical Race Theory is "a way of looking at law’s role platforming, facilitating, producing, and even insulating racial inequality in our country,”. It is not what Ted Cruz said – “Critical race theory says every white person is a racist”.

   In any case, neither law nor Critical Race Theory is/was taught in grade schools. This is a Republican disinformation campaign.

   If masks reduce the probability of getting infected by 90%, social distancing reduces the probability of getting infected by 90%, and lockdowns reduce the probability of getting infected by 90%, then used all together, the probability of getting infected is reduced by 99.9%. I.e., instead of 100 people out of a thousand getting infected, it will be 1 person in a 1000.

   Quote: "I remember back in the late ‘90s when Ira Katznelson, an eminent political scientist at Columbia, came to deliver a guest lecture to an economic philosophy class I was taking. It was a great lecture, made more so by the fact that the class was only about ten or twelve students and we got got ask all kinds of questions and got a lot of great, provocative answers. Anyhow, Prof. Katznelson described a lunch he had with Irving Kristol back either during the first Bush administration. The talk turned to William Kristol, then Dan Quayle’s chief of staff, and how he got his start in politics. Irving recalled how he talked to his friend Harvey Mansfield at Harvard, who secured William a place there as both an undergrad and graduate student; how he talked to Pat Moynihan, then Nixon’s domestic policy adviser, and got William an internship at The White House; how he talked to friends at the RNC and secured a job for William after he got his Harvard Ph.D.; and how he arranged with still more friends for William to teach at UPenn and the Kennedy School of Government. With that, Prof. Katznelson recalled, he then asked Irving what he thought of affirmative action. “I oppose it”, Irving replied. “It subverts meritocracy.”

   The Conservative’s philosophy has always been – kick down the ladder that he just climbed up, and tell the fellow down there, too bad you can’t lift yourself by your bootstraps.

   The Democrats are working on plenty of legislation aside from that for the January 6th commission. The “Jan 6” is ringing in the GQPers’ conscience, and that is why they see Jan 6 everywhere.
