I second this motion.
Thomas Sowell deserves the Presidential Medal of Freedom, if for only one reason: his courage.
I had a front row seat in the late 1980’s culture wars and saw how vicious the liberal response to my father, Shelby Steele, was when he spoke his mind freely. He was told he wasn’t black, was called a race traitor, and lost everything from job to friends.
Though Sowell is too much of a man to dwell on these things, he suffered them as well in his own way. Yet he persevered like a warrior made stronger by battle.
When Sowell first reached out to my father in 1990 or so and we had dinner at his house, it was like courage uniting with courage. Aside from my father, Sowell was the first man I met who didn’t give a F about anything but truth. He just didn’t.
When they talked, Sowell’s facts and reasoning blended in with my father’s psychological and cultural insights to paint a picture as complete as could be. Unlike with others, there were no ideological constraints to their conversations and I always admired Sowell’s humanistic approach to his vast wealth of knowledge.
He is always humble. He came up from nothing and emerged from white oppression to reach the top of the intellectual world. He is freedom and he likely won’t care about this call for him to receive this award of freedom because his work alone is his prize.
But the call should still be made, if only to say thank you.

Warren Buffett: "Gambling is a tax on ignorance."
"I find it kind of socially revolting when a government preys on the weaknesses of its citizenry rather than acts to serve them."

City of Boston's official website, check out election returns: Boston.gov/election.
"Unofficial," but here are Dems' own #s:
-- 439,171 registered voters
-- 497,457 total votes cast
That's turnout of 113.2%.
AND IT WASN'T ENOUGH! We stopped the steal.
Too big to rig!

According to a FB Follower: "Brunelle's Marina is pulling the Lady Bea out of the River and recommending that everyone remove their boats from the Marina. This is the most serious warning I've seen from anyone in decades regarding the CT River."

A look at Indian Motocycle’s “low priced motorcycle” in 1936. We were still inching our way out of the Great Depression but perhaps this mode of transportation wasn’t for everyone.

Claude Shannon, the father of Information theory:
Claude Shannon is widely recognized as the father of information theory. His groundbreaking work in the mid-20th century laid the foundation for modern communication systems and digital technology.
Shannon's most influential contribution was his 1948 paper, "A Mathematical Theory of Communication," where he introduced the concept of information entropy. This measure allowed for the quantification of information and optimization of its transmission, revolutionizing fields such as telecommunication and data compression.
Shannon's work on error-correcting codes enabled the reliable transmission of information even in the presence of noise or interference. This led to significant advancements in data storage and reliable communication systems. He also played a pivotal role in the development of digital computers. He applied Boolean logic to design logical circuits, which form the basis of modern computer architecture. His ideas and designs were instrumental in shaping the digital revolution we experience today.
Shannon's scientific contributions as the father of information theory and computing transformed the way we communicate, paved the way for efficient data transmission, and laid the foundation for the digital technologies we rely on. His work continues to have a profound impact on various fields, making him a true pioneer of the Information Age.

A favorite view of early 20th century Main Street at Harrison but you won’t recognize much. The brick building housed The Republican newspaper before it moved to the “New North.” Third National replaced the other corner, but you know the green awning in the far lower right.

Mike Piazza was drafted dead last in the draft, and it was a favour for Tommy Lasorda. But yet, Ted Williams knew he was going to be great when he was 15. GOATS just know.
