WASHINGTON - At last year s National Prayer Breakfast, President Donald Trump brandished newspapers headlined Trump acquitted and simply ACQUITTED to boast of his recent impeachment victory; aimed thinly veiled attacks at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah; and challenged the notion that Christians should strive to love their enemies.
At this year s online version of the event on Thursday, President Joe Biden took a far lower-key approach, citing the recent assault on the Capitol to criticize violence and urge bipartisanship. We know now we must confront and defeat political extremism, White supremacy and domestic terrorism, Biden said.

Thomas Sowell is considered by many to be one of the most influential and brilliant minds of the past half-century. He is most famous for his work as an economist, but is also a bestselling author, syndicated columnist, historian, and academic.
Yet he hasn’t received much recognition. “When people talk about the great black intellectuals today, you hear names like Henry Louis Gates at Harvard or Cornel West … or today you hear Ta-Nehisi Coates and Ibram X. Kendi,” says Jason Riley, a journalist, scholar, and member of The Wall Street Journal’s editorial board.
