Thomas Sowell
Thomas Sowell. A black, born in the south, suffering discrimination, orphaned, moving to Harlem to be raised by great Aunt, starting as a Marxist, liberal, leftest, explaining how he ever became a free market conservative. Facts!
Sowell thought the key to black achievement was not special treatment or government intervention, but access to rigorous and high-quality education and a careful fostering of the values of hard work and individualism. In fact, lowering standards to help blacks is not only discriminatory but detrimental to black achievement

The real Big Lie, and there are two
The real Big Lie, and there are two.
The Big Lie is not that Trump continually claims the election was stolen. It wasn’t.
The Big Lie is that Trump’s claims are a significant threat to Democracy. It wasn’t. Over 70 million people voted for Trump. Tens of thousands of supporters went to Washington to support him on January 6. Thousands march to the capital. Hundreds broke into the capital. Tens had evil intent. This was wrong. It is condemned by all. It wasn’t a significant threat to our Democracy. It wasn’t an armed insurrection. The protesters did not kill anybody.
The other Big Lie is the Democrats’ continued propagation of a false narrative that systemic racism is the cause of all the disparities with blacks. This is a lie. It is tearing our country apart. And it is hurting blacks. It led to thousands of riots, billions of damage, and hundreds of deaths with the violence over the summer at BLM protests.

Biden will help restaurant owners (unless they’re a white male)
To be eligible, the business must be “at least 51 percent owned by one or more individuals who are women, veterans, or socially and economically disadvantaged and if the management and daily business operations of the applicant are controlled by one or more women, veterans, or socially and economically disadvantaged individual.”
The Biden administration is defining businesses owned by “socially and economically disadvantaged” individuals as those who are:
- Part of an “economically disadvantaged Indian tribe”
- “Subjected to racial or ethnic prejudice or cultural bias”
- Black American
- Hispanic American
- Native American, including Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian
- Asian Pacific American
- Subcontinent Asian American
This is what is wrong with America.
This is what is wrong with America.
A significant percentage are either uninformed of the facts and history and are essentially brainwashed by false narratives fed to them by MSNBC, CNN, NYT, etc. OR intellectually dishonest and/or suffering severe Trump derangement syndrome (TDS.)
Following is a Facebook comment I recently received from a long-time, though rarely seen or communicated with family friend.
“Scooter, what the f is wrong with your thinking , u r nothing but a TRUMP CULT. Get your head out of your ass!!! So sick & tired of all your bullshit u post [Facebook] Grow up!! & Go ahead & block me like u do when no one agrees with u , I don't give a shit...”
I understand that some of my opinions have opposing opinions that may be reasonable. But I know that anyone who is well informed and intellectually honest would have a hard time forming a cogent argument supported by facts and logic to claim that my opinions are completely unreasonable.
I know I am careful to research the actual data, read the Constitution, read biographies and non-fiction history and the work of respected intellectuals from both sides before I form my opinions.
What is really sad is the long term effect Trump has on those suffering from TDS. The fact that I supported some of his key policies, have shared the facts of the important contribution his administration had on the rapid development of the Covid vaccine and felt that he was treated unfairly by much of the media makes those suffering from TDS claim I am in his cult. Given I have publicly shared my thoughts that Trump is intellectually lazy, insecure, lacks gravitas and is not well spoken and that I actively supported other Republican candidates and that I have no desire for Trump to return, the conclusion that I am in the Trump cult is just support for my claim that there are many uninformed of the facts and history or intellectually dishonest and/or suffering from TDS.

My view DC statehood
The Constitution allowed for up to a 10 mi.² area of land to be allotted to the federal government that purposely would not be a state because they knew how a state that held the government would be corrupted and have too much power. Maryland gave the land to the federal government for most of what is now DC. If the federal government no longer needs or wants that land for the federal government, they should give it back to Maryland.
To create a tiny state just to get the Democrats to more senators and one more representative is stupid.
It will start a race. When Republicans control everything they can split Texas up into100 states.
Same reason they should not pack the court. It’ll just politicize the court ruining this country. When Republicans get control they’ll just add six more judges. So on and so forth until we just have a very large Supreme Court that’s nothing but political
