Sowell’s lengthy personal history shows he has never had the slightest trouble changing his mind when empirical evidence pointed out flaws in his comprehension. The one-time socialist nearly epitomizes Irving Kristol’s famous definition of a neo-conservative as a liberal who has been mugged by reality, except that in Sowell’s case, one must drop the neo prefix.

The most ridiculous leadership is of Germany, that stopped nuclear power, but keeps mining lignite, the least effective coal to sell it, then proceeds to buy electricity from Poland's coal plants, and on top of that Nordstream gets blown up. But the people are starting to see more clearly what they should do.

Just today I watched a cabinet minister dodge and weave for several minutes, virtue-signaling as he went, to avoid admitting a mistake. So in this case the 'corporate culture' forbids honesty about failure. Well, no one can be justified before God by insisting on his own self-righteousness.

I have read several of Sowell’s books and highly recommend them. He has the ability to transcend race (yours, mine, his own) when he writes very thoughtfully about the problems that people face and how race may play a role. He’s doesn’t preach, he doesn’t make excuses, he certainly doesn’t play the race card in attempt to justify the reality, he doesn’t play the victim, and he doesn’t get political (even when writing about politics/policy). He lays bare the facts of why we are the way we are, how we came to be that way, and what we can do to be better. And then he leaves it to the reader to decide what they think about the information. The only thing difficult about reading one of his books is that you will have a new and more accurate understanding of the subject matter…but then you’ll have to continue to hear/see the stupidity that is the MSM and the internet. 😮

Lolololol 🇺🇸👍 ( *Key fact:* as referenced in PDFs that you can find on the Library of Congress website, presidents need to sign an executive order to declassify things. That's how a bureaucratic government, with documents archived across the country, knows what papers they can hand out and what they can't. So that's another lie). The cover of the Trump book was that of a self-centered reality star, who enjoys firing people, and lied creating a fraud college to scam people out of a legitimate education....

Sure felt like he was doing what's best for the people by preemptively telling voters that if he loses the election that it's rigged, but if he wins it's fair 🤔 If you think someone that sets up a fraudulent college to scam money from less educated people is a "good representative", your either high or in on the grift.

Prior to the election, my wife and I were pondering Trump. We both felt he was an unknown quantity and both of us were tired of voting for the lesser of two evils. Backing poor candidates like McCain and Romney left us little confidence in the GOP's ability to pick a good nominee. We both decided to take a chance and back him. Neither of us regretted that decision. He was a far better president than we ever dreamed. I honestly believe the non stop attacks on him by the FBI, DOJ, media, etc... directly correspond to the threat the deep state and the left see in him.

There are groups/individuals with enough assets to have simply assassinated him. At that level of money, one can remove (prevent them from existing, actually) one's fingerprints from any criminal act.

I too had my doubts of Trump at first, honestly didn’t take him as serious as I should have. But when he was the winner of that election, I decided to give him a chance to see how he would do, and gave him 100 days in the office to study whether he had what it took to be a leader or if this was just something to add to his list of criteria he wanted to put for his own legacy. By the first 100 days, I am honored to say he humbled my perspective about him and saw that he was taking his oath to serve our country with real determination that I have ever witnessed a president do. I do believe he has his blind spots like we all do and it has the potential to hurt both him and the country, but he made serious effort and the results showed how much he cared for the US. Despite what the establishment has attempted to defame him and his family’s legacy, he still delivered those punches on our behalf of those of us who were about to lose hope in our country. Thus, he earned my respect more than any politician who has sat in that room for decades making a career by just sitting in those damned seats, while our country wasted away. And that is what scares the establishment the most, their time of sitting is now ending.

Those who walk in TRUTH are followers of Christ, not those who profess yet walk in wickedness. The Roman Centurion (with no Jewish upbringing) had more faith than any Israelite in the land, according to Jesus himself. Chew on that. The good Samaritan story showed the non-Jew Foreigner to be more righteous and of Godly character, than the 'Holy man' who walked past. Chew on that. "A Jew is a Jew inwardly." Choke on that. So TS seeking and dealing in TRUTH is a Christian, no need to attend a building or profess anything. I see 'Christian' posts similar to yours all throughout YT and you think you're going to win people over with several negative, judgemental statements?

The best example of his ability to do that is that he was a Marxist, intellectually, at least, through his undergraduate career, but when he first worked in the federal bureaucracy, he saw the numbers and saw that he was wrong. The ability to admit that you're wrong, without rancor, and to pick up and proceed, is the mark of maturity. And I think that's what many of the viewers replying to this and the other videos recognize instinctively, even if they don't express it. Dr. Sowell is a mature adult in a society of overgrown adolescents.

The way I have phrased the same point before with a question: Suppose hypothetically that all of the disparities between blacks and whites were erased, and full equality of both opportunity and outcome were achieved. Which political party would benefit from that? From that you can deduce which party really wants this to happen, and which party will find ways to sabotage it.
@FactsOverFeelings123 Жыл бұрын
It is impossible to have both equality of opportunity and equality of outcome. The only way to achieve equality of outcome is to squelch equality of opportunity. Conversely, if true equality of opportunity exists, equality of outcome will cease. If you were to erase the portion of your statement including equality of outcome, I would agree 100% with your statement.

President Trump had the same values and concerns for America in his thirties as he has now. I watched a clip from when he did a interview with Barbara Walters in maybe mid 1980’s and he was so right about how this country would go forward in the future. Very wise and a deep love for this country. I have not seen that commitment in any president in my lifetime. He truly cares for America and his leadership was always for the greatness of America and it’s people.

There're an enormous number of things one can criticize about Trump. But the fact that he did well in supporting healthy economic principles and was directly against illegal immigration and against the imperialistic tendencies of the US shows that his ACTIONS -- as opposed to his personality -- were praiseworthy...and well in line with the core interests of most voters. Above all, he made AWESOME supreme court nomination which will serve all of us VERY WELL for long after he himself is gone from the scene.

@@camerondye6108 Um...the deficit and taxes are the responsibility of congress. Tariffs are..."complicated." In some cases they are (unavoidably) tit-for-tat. In others they are meant to support areas of US business -- which can sometimes be necessary for complicated reasons. His policies helped greatly to reduce energy costs, and were generally pro-business (and anti-tax). Joe Biden has also sometimes acted in a pro-business manner during his career -- but that was only when those businesses first (or afterwards) PAID HIM to act in their favor. That's different, lol.
