🔥NEW: Clarence Thomas — full remarks on progressivism, its foundations, history, and impact from his appearance at University of Texas at Austin:

“Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, and Mao were all intertwined with the rise of progressivism, and all were opposed to the natural rights on which our Declaration is based.”

"Many progressives expressed admiration for each of them shortly before their governments killed tens of millions of people."

"It comes as no surprise that the progressives embraced eugenics... It was only a small step for Wilson to resegregate the federal workforce."

"It was only another step for the government to launch sterilization programs on those deemed by the experts of the day to be unfit to reproduce."

“European thinkers have long criticized America for remaining trapped in a Lockean world, with its weakened, decentralized government and strong individual rights. They say our 18th-century Declaration has prevented us from progressing to higher forms of government."

"But we were fortunate not to trade our Lockean bonds for the supposedly enlightened world of Hegel, Marx, and their followers. Fascism, which after all was national socialism, triggered wars in Europe and Asia that killed tens of millions."

"The socialism of the Soviet Union and the People’s Republic of China proceeded to kill tens of millions more of their own people. This is what happens when natural rights give way to higher-good notions of history or progress, or, as Thomas Sowell has written, the visions of the anointed."

"None of this, of course, was an improvement on the principles of the Declaration. Tocqueville's Democracy in America is largely about how America owed its superiority over Europe to its conscious decision to reject central planning and administrative rule, root and branch."

"Progressivism, in other words, is retrogressive.”

@AmericaPapaBear Spitting on a person is one of the most disrespectful things you can do. Young man deserved the beating he is getting.

At one point, California had more people applying for unemployment than there were adults in the entire state. $32.6 billion. Gone. Prisoners collected. Dead people collected. I warned them. I begged them not to let the money go out like that. They suspended every rule anyway. The tools to stop this exist. So why are the doors still open? 30 years tracking fraud. This is the biggest in American history.

Of course, kids are bigger, faster & stronger, but the small details are missing especially in late-game situations. Teams make the game too difficult. Missing FTs, bad shot recognition, lack of time & score, etc…intangibles you pick up watching the game not highlights.

SLU isn't just beating the brakes off UGA, it's physically dominating them. This is a A10 team absolutely imposing itself on a SEC team, something that P5 fans like to act is impossible, and do their very best to make sure mid-majors never have a chance to do in regular season

[DDoubleG @deegood66]

@TheJJChiles @RedsInFour Yes, those also

[DDoubleG @deegood66]

@swais_m @Sports128933 @BuckeyeNatty @CoachPainter I stated there are smaller schools that could/can play with the mid-range and lower level D1 / D2 schools, Massillon Washington was 25-1, I would say that is a high level larger school. Good try

[DDoubleG @deegood66]

@Sports128933 @BuckeyeNatty @CoachPainter I know on the girls side, as a coach, there were years, we could and did play against the larger ranked schools in D2 when there were only 4 Divisions (D4 School). We competed and won several against several of them.

[DDoubleG @deegood66]

@Sports128933 @BuckeyeNatty @CoachPainter Not disputing Max Preps, but there is nothing plugged in the stats for DSJ and ML. We will have to agree to disagree on the difference in talent level from Mid-Level D1/2 schools to really good D4-7 schools.

[DDoubleG @deegood66]

@Sports128933 @BuckeyeNatty @CoachPainter MaxPress Ratings - Not saying they are right or wrong but it does disagree with your analysis.

[DDoubleG @deegood66]

@Sports128933 @BuckeyeNatty @CoachPainter Again, not talking about the High Level D1/D2 schools, talking about mid-range schools. Have you seen a good MAC/Putnam County school play?

[DDoubleG @deegood66]

@Sports128933 @BuckeyeNatty @CoachPainter I have, had a nephew that played at Upper Arlington, I just don't believe the difference is that great between and AVERAGE big Div. 1 or 2 school to a very good small division school. DSJ is small this year, so yes, they might have trouble with size.

[DDoubleG @deegood66]

@Sports128933 @BuckeyeNatty @CoachPainter Ottawa Glandorf Div 4 school, DSJ D 7 school. OG is a small school. Didnt Collin White get to playing some this year? Was your expectation he would start his Freshmen year? I don't believe the DSJ is a high major player but to diminish him because the size of his school is wrong

@kpcflyers10 I know as a Girls JV coach, I have never lost a game, it has always been the refs fault we lost😁
