I'm a Conservative Catholic who is very concerned about the direction that Black America has taken in my lifetime.

[Ken Blackwell @kenblackwell]

Thomas Sowell is 95 years old.

Let that number sit with you.

Ninety-five years on this earth, and in all of them, he has never held public office, never had a viral moment, never begged for anyone’s attention.

What he has done is write 30 books and spend 50 years of patient research building a body of work that has outlasted every fashionable idea his critics tried to bury him with.

While the loudest voices in Washington were chasing polls and the cleverest minds on campus were chasing grants, Sowell was in the library reading the data, tracking the outcomes, and dismantling one bad idea after another.

He doesn’t argue feelings.

He measures results.

He isn’t selling anything.

His whole approach boils down to one line that every politician and activist in this country should be forced to recite before they open their mouths:

“There are no solutions. There are only trade-offs.”

Sit with that, too.

Every federal program, every mandate, every well-meaning crusade carries a cost, and somebody pays it.

Sowell’s life work has been the simple act of asking who.

Listen to him on the “help” our communities have been promised for two generations:

“I’ve been doing studies now for 20 years of programs designed to increase equality. They increase inequality.”

“Even when the programs are designed for disadvantaged groups, they help the affluent members of the disadvantaged groups, while the lower members of those groups fall further behind than ever before.”

That is the whole affirmative action racket laid out in two sentences.

The kids from the same zip codes as the Harvard faculty get the slot, while the kids from the neighborhoods that actually need a ladder are told to wait their turn.

Sowell says it plain:

“The vast majority of blacks who go to places like Harvard, Cornell, and Stanford are not blacks from the ghetto. They’re from the same neighborhoods as the whites there.”

The race hustlers don’t want you to know that, because they need the grievance to stay in business.

Sowell’s advice to young people cuts right through the hustle:

“Stay away from the race hustlers.”

“Equip yourself with skills that people are willing to pay for.”

That is the whole ball game right there, a matter of skills, work, and accountability rather than slogans, hashtags, or another federal program designed to pad a consultant’s salary while leaving the South Side worse off than before.

Here is the line I want every young person in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, and every other corner of America to read tonight:

“Much of the social history of the Western world over the past three decades has involved replacing what worked with what sounded good.”

That one sentence explains our schools, our cities, and why the neighborhoods the War on Poverty was supposed to save are in worse shape now than they were before the checks started flowing.

Sowell has pushed a whole generation of us to stop reacting and start asking harder questions.

What are the incentives?

Who actually benefits from this policy?

What do the numbers look like five, ten, twenty years later?

Ask those questions honestly, and the illusion falls apart.

The most dangerous man in America right now isn’t the one shouting on television.

He is the 95-year-old professor in Palo Alto who doesn’t need you to agree with him, because he has the data on his side.

Ninety-five years of telling the truth.

Thank you, Dr. Sowell.

Never seen a baby at 8 weeks. Wow. That should change the conversation.

This is what the Fulton County raid is about - there is massive, widespread evidence. But unless the people demand it, we may not see full accountability. Let your voices be heard.

@laralogan I'm with you Lara. The cleansing of politicians of any political bent, including "Independent", must be prosecuted using the constitution and existing law as an objective standard.

[Lara Logan @laralogan]

And corrupt Republicans.

[Arynne Wexler @ArynneWexler]

Trump replaced a Florida man with a Florida woman

So far we have
President: Florida
Chief of Staff: Florida
Secretary of State: Florida
National Security Advisor: Florida
Attorney General: Florida

We’re actually going to Make America Florida 🇺🇸

@Cobratate This man voted against Trump in 2016 and 2020. Now he’s waking up. He thinks the media lied to him and spread hoaxes about Trump for years. Many such cases!

[Joseph G King @joegking]

Growing up I fell for the lies I was taught about the Republican party. I learned the facts shared in this post years ago. It helped me overcome my bias against the GOP.

Many people want to "Move On" from Covid, and I get it - I do too.

The thing is, We can't. There's no going back. We learned some things about Ordinary People, and we must discuss it.

Some people were scared, and some people were not. Those who were scared were willing to do to terrible things to those who were not.

Ordinary people called for the health insurance of other ordinary people to be canceled.

Ordinary people silenced some of the most highly trained and qualified physicians in the world, and other ordinary people championed the censorship.

Ordinary people were glad other ordinary people could not eat inside with them.

Ordinary people eagerly explained to other ordinary people that their child would not be receiving a life saving transplant due to their vaccination status.

Ordinary people cheered as Doctors, Nurses, Respiratory Therapists, Radiologists, and many other Healthcare Workers were fired, when they were called hero's months before.

Ordinary people cheered as blue color state employees were fired, when they were called "Essential" months before.

Ordinary people were angry when The Supreme Court stepped in and saved the jobs of many unvaccinated workers in the private sector.

Ordinary people shunned family members, and un-friended life long friends.

Ordinary people were un-invited from trips and kicked out of groups, clubs, and communities.

Ordinary people kept ordinary student athletes from competing due to vaccination status.

Probably the worst of all, ordinary people were coerced into injecting themselves with an unknown substance, that they didn't want, all under false pretenses, many of which had terrible or deadly reactions.

The list goes on an on, and so do the crimes against humanity.

Ordinary people became monsters, all because of fear.

Are you ordinary?

Do you live in fear?

Did you become a monster?
