“If you are not prepared to use force to defend civilization, then be prepared to accept barbarism.” — Thomas Sowell

Elon Musk: “The more religious, the less educated and the poorer, the higher the birth rate. Low on the religion, high on education and high on income, that has the lowest birth rate.”

"Nothing is easier to find than sins among human beings, but to automatically make those sins the sole, or even primary, cause of different outcomes among different peoples is to ignore many other reasons for those disparities." — Thomas Sowell

Warren Buffet: "I can end the deficit in five minutes. You juts pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for reelection."

London, UK.

"So long as a whole generation of young blacks continues to be told, day in and day out, that their problems are caused by whites, they are never going to be prepared to take advantage of the opportunities in Silicon Valley or anywhere else." — Thomas Sowell

"Someone once said that a fool can put on his coat better than a wise man can put it on for him. The implications of that undermine most of the agenda of the political left." — Thomas Sowell

"Those who want to ‘spread the wealth’ almost invariably seek to concentrate the power. It happens too often, and in too many different countries around the world, to be a coincidence. Which is more dangerous, inequalities of wealth or concentrations of power?" — Thomas Sowell

"The biggest myth about labor unions is that unions are for the workers. Unions are for unions, just as corporations are for corporations and politicians are for politicians." — Thomas Sowell

Kayleigh McEnany: “Will Vice President JD Vance be changing diapers?” Second Lady Usha Vance: “Oh, absolutely. That's sort of always been our division of labor. When our first child was born, I think he did a majority of the diapers.”

"Have you ever heard anyone as incoherent as the people staging protests across the country? Taxpayers ought to be protesting against having their money spent to educate people who end up unable to say anything beyond repeating political catch phrases." — Thomas Sowell

“I blocked CNN at my mom’s house using parental controls. Now she keeps calling me saying she can’t watch the news. And that’s how you save America.”

Man says, "If I lose my health insurance, I will go to the doctor just like I always do, and when I get a bill I won’t pay it. If I lose my food assistance, I will go to the store like I always do, and I will get my food and I will not pay for it."

"Judging businesses or their owners by how much wealth they give away — rather than by how much wealth they create — is putting the cart before the horse. Wealth is ultimately the only thing that can reduce poverty." — Thomas Sowell

"Those who talk about helping ‘the little people’ give me pain. People are the same size, and have the same importance as human beings, whether they are rich or poor. Paternalism toward others has long been camouflage for power and an ego trip for oneself." — Thomas Sowell

"One of the mysteries of the ages is why the political left has, for centuries, lavished so much attention on the well-being of criminals and paid so little attention to their victims." — Thomas Sowell

"People who pride themselves on their ‘complexity’ and deride others for being ‘simplistic’ should realize that the truth is often not very complicated. What gets complex is evading the truth." — Thomas Sowell

"Barack Obama's political genius is his ability to say things that will sound good to people who have not followed the issues in any detail — regardless of how obviously fraudulent what he says may be to those who have." — Thomas Sowell

"If people are free to do as they wish, they are almost certain not to do as we wish. That is why Utopian planners end up as despots, whether at the national level or at the level of the local ‘redevelopment’ agency." — Thomas Sowell

"In the academic world, diversity means black leftists, white leftists, female leftists, and Hispanic leftists. Demographic diversity conceals ideological conformity." — Thomas Sowell

Alan Dershowitz on the Obamas: "I don't like them as people. I remember Michelle Robinson when she was a student, and she was very radical. Obama was not... But once he was reelected... his true self came out. He's not a nice person."
