“E Pluribus Unum

… there is not a liberal America, or a Conservative America…
…there is not a black America and a white america and a Latino America and an Asian America…
There’s the United States of America.

This is not reporting.
Firstly, notice how calm this interviewee is and his open body language.
Notice how fidgety and agitated Don Lemon is.
Again, this is not reporting, but an attempt to negate someone’s truth and opinion.
What’s particularly notable: these questions are coming from a “veteran journalist.” Yet the follow-up questions aren’t attempts to understand *why* this interviewee believes what he does.
Don Lemon is trying to discredit this man—someone Don stopped on the street, asking for his time.
At a baseline, regardless of politics, this is a perfect demonstration of why people are struggling to understand one another.
This isn’t an interview, nor a conversation.
We are living in an age where supposedly reputable, successful “journalists” behave more like pseudo-intellectual hitmen.
“…I think many people currently expressing antizionist views think that they are fighting for a good cause, and do not realize they are being manipulated by a genocidal hate movement.”

Although we don’t yet have the details about the motives behind last night's shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner, it’s incumbent upon all us to reject the idea that violence has any place in our democracy. It’s also a sobering reminder of the courage and sacrifice that U.S. Secret Service Agents show every day. I’m grateful to them – and thankful that the agent who was shot is going to be okay.
🚨 NICK SHIRLEY: “I've had death threats, one of them was specific about the date. It's supposed to be coming up soon, the date they said they'd kill me."
“Last time I was in CA…people were trying to dox my location live."
Leftist violence is a PROBLEM.

#NYC has fallen for the cult of illiberalism. Identity politics and hatred, the opposite but same thought as the hatred from the far right.
I am sorry to see this, for a city as great as NYC. However, we must honor voters’ will. I hope we begin to see through these short-sighted, self-defeating narratives.
Living in the ghettos of Buffalo NY, I’ve read 6 of Thomas Sowell’s books and every single day I watch his detailed truths play out in brutal real time.
Fatherlessness. Rampant crime. Abortions. Godlessness.
Overdose deaths claiming lives left and right.
Metabolic syndrome destroying bodies and futures. setting up future Big Pharma patients.
Shattered family dynamics.
Entire generations locked into downward trajectories.
All of this was predicted with painful accuracy in the Moynihan Report of 1965, written just a couple years before I was born.
Trying to make sense of all this. Dr. Sowell has proven it for decades: there are no solutions, only trade-offs.
Good intentions and bad policies ignore incentives, family structure, culture, and personal responsibility - and they leave communities devastated while claiming to “help.” This is what the democrats do. This is how they stay in power. How they 'eat'. Ive written two books myself about my observations and studies.
They have plausible deniability.
This harsh reality is exactly why I do what I do.
Happy 95th, Dr. Sowell.
Your data-driven wisdom still cuts through the noise and equips people like me to see clearly.

The government shutdown never should have happened.
The losing party shouldn’t be able to stop the winning party from governing.
But they can, because of the filibuster.
It’s undemocratic.
It was created by accident.
It’s a bug, not a feature.
Abolish the filibuster.
California’s congressional districts are already 83% Democratic.
Now Gavin Newsom wants to spend $282M to gerrymander even more seats.
California is in decline.
We can’t keep giving the same failing leaders more power.
No on Prop 50.
On a lighter note
This is absolutely one of the best albums to come out of the grunge era.
Take a break from political mayhem, have a good laugh and rock out to the true Presidents of the United States of America 🤘😎
