Pay attention — Freedom isn’t free 🇺🇸

[History With Jacob @HistoryWJacob]

In 1776

James Madison was 25
Alexander Hamilton was 21
James Monroe was 18
Henry Knox was 25
Nathan Hale was 21

We coddle our youth.

We should give them more responsibility and expect more of them.

[House Freedom Caucus @freedomcaucus]

Americans don’t want Big Brother controlling our cars, tracking our money, or spying on our lives.

KILL THE KILL SWITCH.
BAN CBDC.
GET A WARRANT.
REFORM FISA.

[Dr. Interracial 🇺🇸 @billysandytodd]

I love that Trump has revolutionary war soldiers for the king. 😆

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.

1987. Trump spends almost $100,000 to put a full page ad in The NY Times, Washington Post, and Boston Globe on why America should stop paying to defend countries that can afford to defend themselves.

Remarkably consistent.

[Thom Loring @tloring]

@GuntherEagleman Yes — the Deep State / Power Elite. They are losing their biggest asset: endless war in the Middle East.

No doubt the CCP was subsidizing these trips, and depending on how long this was been going on, they have an army of US citizens who grew up owing allegiance to the CCP. 🇨🇳

🚨 WATCH: 2013 NBC Report exposed China's "birth tourism" scam

Chinese women fly to the US to give birth, securing American citizenship for their kids.

Then return home to raise these "Americans" with Chinese values & loyalty

SCOTUS must end this Birthright Citizenship Scam

@CramerSez The next time they have a No Kings Day, we need to show up at Burger King’s with No Kings signs …with Chick-fil-A meals 🤣

When Democrats say “diversity is our strength” they literally mean it’s the Democrats’ strength because diversity = division, and they seek to divide & conquer to maintain their power.

@CynicalPublius How about No “King Makers” such as George Soros, Neville Singham who are working on usurping our constitutional republic with their puppets.
