Thomas criticizes the misinterpretation and backsliding of the Fourteenth Amendment throughout history, arguing that universities should not have the right to discriminate based on race. He dismisses the idea that affirmative action helps blacks, stating that it deviates from the principle of equality and perpetuates victimhood.

The New American: Convention of States Ignores Term Limits Already Included in the Constitution - The New American
The Convention of States advocates for term limits on federal officials. However, implementing term limits would limit voter's choices, remove both good and bad congressmen, and weaken the power of the legislative branch. The Founders already established term limits through frequent elections, which ensures that Congress remains accountable to the people. Therefore, term limits would go against the American government system and the principles set by the Founders.

The Epoch Times: California Climate Policies Only Empower China
California politicians and influencers boast about the state's economy, but they fail to recognize that China dominates the solar market. China manufactures 80% of the world's solar panels and controls 97% of the solar market. The US and Europe rely on solar power to reduce emissions, but this dependence means cooperating with China. California is imposing taxes on oil companies, which will lead to higher prices and potential shortages. The state aims to push people toward electric cars, further relying on Chinese-made solar panels. The control of computer microchips used in solar grid systems by Chinese companies raises security concerns. As the US and California become increasingly reliant on Chinese solar technology, the risk of disruption and control by China grows. This shift to Chinese dominance is a choice, not a necessity.
