We're a day late for this.

May he live long -- we we need him more than ever now.

BIDEN SUCKS.

If you're goin' through hell, keep on going.
Don't slow down. If you're scared don't show it.
You might get out before the devil even knows you're there.

Schools should be required to teach his theories rather then stuff like critical race theory
I'm not holding my breath on that happening

"The road to hell is paved with Ivy League degrees." ~Thomas Sowell

Just heard that one today. Thomas Sowell is an American treasure and one of the greatest thinkers of the last two generations.

Happy Birthday!

I've been using my favourite quote of his as a signature for years.

"It's hard to imagine a more stupid or dangerous way of making decisions, than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong."

I tell people, instead of sending your kids to an elite university, get them Dr Sowell’s books. You’ll save a couple of hundred thousand and your kids will have a better education.

Oh come on. Get out of here with that. Sowell was never a never Trumper. Thomas Sowell is a classic, deep intellectual so of course was put off by Trump's rhetoric, but he voted for him...twice. He looked at the empirical evidence and made the choice that Trump was better than both Hillary and Biden. Again, he is not a never Trumper.
