SUMMER READING: I am reading Charles Murray’s new book Facing Reality: Two Truths about Race in America. It is a short easy read and is chock full of information that challenges the woke narrative:

Two known facts, long since documented beyond reasonable doubt, need to be brought into the open and incorporated into the way we think about public policy: American whites, blacks, Hispanics, and Asians have different violent crime rates and different means and distributions of cognitive ability. The allegations of racism in policing, college admissions, segregation in housing, and hiring and promotions in the workplace ignore the ways in which the problems that prompt the allegations of systemic racism are driven by these two realities.

HELEN TRIES IT: So I bought some “Don’t Tread on Me” earrings from Helen’s Page newest advertiser, No-System. They sell T-shirts and accessories that have a libertarian or conservative twist. The earrings are super lightweight and made out of sustainable wood. I don’t like heavy earrings and these are perfect. They did take a week to get here but they inexpensive and are ordered as they are sold so it was worth the wait. They would make a great gift for anyone who likes something unique that expresses their feelings about freedom. Or for your second amendment friends, how about these?

HELEN TRIES IT: I have read two out of the three of the The Hard Man Novels written by Howard McEwen and decided this week to read the third book, Wrath: A Hard Man Novel (The Hard Man Series). What I loved about this particular book is that it is set in Northern Kentucky where I have spent a bit of time so it seemed familiar. The book looks at the lives of two men, one a politician named William Goebel and the other is a mountain man who came from a very different background. The book is rich with the history of the late 1800’s which the author explores in vivid detail. I felt like I was getting a history lesson as well a reading a great story. Wrath is engaging, well-written and draws you in from the first page. I highly recommend it. I have given this book at Helen’s Page a verified status.
