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.

EXCELLENT breakdown of what Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger and 18 other Democrat Governors, including DC, have signed to permanently change how we elected the President of the United States
“Virginia's governor just signed a law that makes your vote for President irrelevant
— On April 13th, governor Spanberger quietly signed HB 965, a bill that joins Virginia to something called the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.
Here's what that actually means. If Virginia votes one way for president, but the rest of the country goes the other direction, Virginia's electoral votes go with the country, not with who you voted for. Now, the framing they're selling is every vote matters equally, which sounds great, but here's what they're not telling you.
The Electoral college wasn't broken. It was designed specifically to make sure that rural states, small states and communities outside of major cities still had a voice in who becomes president.
Under this compact presidential campaigns would have zero reason to care about Virginia outside of Richmond and Northern Virginia. I mean, why would they? You just hand your votes to wherever New York and California go?
Some legal scholars have argued, the framers of the Constitution explicitly rejected the idea of popular elections for President, and that changing the system requires a constitutional amendment, not a state level workaround.
And here's the part that should bother everyone regardless of party.
As of March, 2026, every single governor who has signed this compact into law has been a Democrat, not one Republican. This wasn't bipartisan reform. This was a party using a legislative shortcut to restructure how presidents get elected without touching the constitution.
We are a republic, not a pure democracy. That distinction matters because pure democracies let 51% of the country permanently ignore the other 49%. Virginia just took a step toward erasing its own voice in national elections, and they did it while nobody was watching.”

There are now more anti-White and anti-Asian laws in South Africa than anti-Black laws under Apartheid.
Racism is wrong no matter who it is against.

@elonmusk South Africa has a lot of race laws to cut

This is why we need to get rid of birthright citizenship, and also revoke the citizenship of many who already have it.
Theo Wold@RealTheoWold
The New York Times tells us the story of an illegal alien couple from Honduras who were expecting their first child. After being deported last year due to a charge for drug possession, they snuck back across the U.S. border (a felony) to ensure their son would be born an American. They were then deported yet again-- but their son is now an American citizen with the same rights as you and I. This is why the Supreme Court needs to overturn birthright citizenship.

Black woman from South Africa: “Black people have been patient enough for more than 400 years of colonialism. We are coming for you, and we are going to get everything that you own.”
White people are facing racism, hatred, and brutal violence in South Africa. This is not acceptable. More people should know about the horrible things happening in South Africa; almost nobody talks about it.

So disingenuous. No surprise from a woman who pretended to be Native American.

If you paid even a penny in federal income tax last year, you paid more than: Tesla Southwest Disney Live Nation HP United PayPal CVS Health Palantir Citigroup PG&E 3M That's right. They paid $0 in federal income tax. It's time for big corporations to pay their fair share.
