The welfare state has been more destructive to the black family than slavery just by restructuring the incentives.
In 1960, nearly a century after emancipation, only about 22% of black children grew up in single-parent households.
By 1990, after the Great Society welfare expansions, that number had more than tripled.
Thomas Sowell has long shown this wasn’t the lingering shadow of slavery or some vague “legacy.”
The destruction of the black family was the direct result of welfare policies that subsidized single motherhood and penalized marriage.
The incentives changed, and family structure collapsed accordingly.
Most black births today occur out of wedlock, and a growing share involve different fathers over time.
Two-income households carry an extremely low poverty risk around 1–2%.
Single-income parent homes face poverty rates of 25–35%.
The nuclear family still matters.

@jenvanlaar@NikM222 The Cali banks aren’t doing sufficient KYCs on Source of Funds for Newsome.
Regular financial and legal professionals are held to FAR higher KYC and disclosure standards than California government officials.
Maybe they're investigating you because your finances don't add up? Or because your wife's LLC received the deed to a $9.1 million home a week before the LLC was even created - while you still had your Fair Oaks home? How was that LLC capitalized?
Today, my wife & I joined Donald Trump’s hit list. He has directed his Department of Justice to investigate us. They have not found a crime - they are simply trying to find one.
He isn't coming after me because of mean tweets, but because I am considering running for President.
Dear @freddiesayers@PoliceScotland@bindelj
A little Scottish girl and her mum are STILL waiting on her apology.
No. This doesn’t go away. Politely, I am coming to visit you all in person.
Many people owe the 12 year old (now 13) Scottish girl an apology.
You first @PoliceScotland
And you @freddiesayers - you posh twat

YET EVEN MORE HILLARY
In 97, as their military aide, I accompanied the Clintons on an event in DC. We were on our way to a fundraising event one night. As the motorcade pulled into the hotel loading dock area, I knew it was going to be a bad night when I noticed the Clintons going back and forth in the limo. They were animated and arguing in the backseat…and taking their time.
After a very pregnant pause, the president, the first lady, two Secret Service agents, the WH doctor, and I crowded into the loading dock elevator on our way to the party on the top floor of the hotel. Apparently, Mrs Clinton had just received some bad news about the Whitewater investigation and being denied immunity and she was blaming her husband. As soon as the elevator doors closed, she exploded at the president spewing four-letter words like a machine gun.
Every vulgar word you’ve ever heard, and I’ve heard them all as a vet, poured from her mouth: “Goddammit,” “you bastard,” “it’s your fucking fault!” And on and on and on. I, and the football, tried to blend into the walls of the elevator to avoid any collateral damage. I noticed the alarmed glances of the agents and the doctor. We were just along for the ride.
Bill looked a beaten puppy. He put his head down and said, “Yes, I understand. Yes, dear, I know.” The president, embarrassed, placated her as best he could between the volleys of expletives. He knew better than to fight back. We all did.
We reached the top floor and the elevator doors opened onto a crowded hallway for our arrival. Immediately, Bill and Hillary clasped hands, pulled out the fake smiles, and waved in unison. Same old bullshit. The agents, the doctor and I just looked at each other, rolled our eyes, and sighed.
Just another day in the Clinton White House.

Dana Williamson, Governor Newsom's former chief of staff, plead guilty to three felonies in May.

The investigation actually began under the Biden administration.
Max penalty 30 years.
California Governor Gavin Newsom says he and his wife, Jen, are the subject of a federal investigation because he’s considering a run for president and has called Trump out for his corruption.

I suppose this point is moot for now but I want to mention it anyway because it's likely to rear its head again. Isolationist-oriented people tend to invoke the argument that they don't want to be drafted or their kids to be drafted into a war they don't support. Then they blame Boomers for the possibility.
I find this ironic because I'm a boomer and unlike the overwhelming majority of people alive today, I truly got drafted. I got double screwed because in my very year of eligibility they had taken away the student deferment (college student) and instituted the lottery.
I got a low lottery number -- 56 and so I was drafted. I got lucky, however, because Nixon had started so-called Vietnamization around that time and even draftees weren't being sent to Vietnam. So in one sense my timing was terrible and in another it was great. But it never occurred to me to blame any generation for my being drafted.
I certainly couldn't blame my dad's WWII generation. He was a fighter pilot in the war. So while some of you blame us Boomers, I'm the one that got drafted, not you.
Don't get me wrong; I'm not complaining about it. It was a very good experience for me. I'm not pro-war and I'm not for re-instituting the draft, so quit accusing me and my fellow old-people-who-still-feel-like-young people of plotting that. We're not and It's not going to happen so I think it's a red herring. So if you insist on hating Boomers, please pick a better reason. I'm sure you think you have many.

@JackPosobiec As someone who has supported Trump throughout this and is fine with the attempted peace deal going on I have no problem with Israel doing what it needs to do to defend itself.
I sent this letter to the Editor-in-Chief of Toxicology Reports demanding a full explanation for the removal of a published article examining vaccines and sudden infant death.
Americans have a right to know why scientific papers are removed, who made those decisions, what evidence supported them, and whether the same standards are applied consistently.
We will restore trust in public health by insisting on transparency, accountability, and open scientific inquiry—not by asking the public to accept decisions behind closed doors.
Ur gonna have stress with a normal job wondering if you’ll get fired or age out. Gonna have stress running a side biz. Gonna have stress running a big biz. Emotionally the stress ALL FEELS THE SAME. Ergo, make sure you have the biggest upside possible for those sleepless nights.
Trita Parsi is a foreign national who founded the Quincy Institute, funded by the Open Society and the Koch's, he's a known lobbyist for the Iranian government and has given awards to people like Thomas Massie.
You need to start learning how to connect the dots.
Trita Parsi has a rational, pro-American view of the Iran war, so naturally Bari Weiss tried to get him deported.

@TuckerCarlson Hi Tucker. You stated countless times that Trump had no faculty of his own and Bibi controls him. How do you explain the current situation under your perpetually delusional world view? You're nothing but a pathetic actor and you don't know a damn thing.
@FBI_Response@RealCandaceO It's stupid that the government which we pay for who works for us can charge us for finding information we are entitled to because we are their boss and we own the entire government.
That said, Candace is a nut job.
