Signed.

Good luck to Dr. Sowell. Doesn’t he realize that only under his hated Trump presidency will he stand a chance of receiving the accolades he richly deserves? No one else would look at his body of work. They only hate him for daring to wear black skin and be conservative.

I don’t see the need to make Donald Trump give anything to a man who despises Mr. Trump.

Why don’t you just start a petition to make Trump give an award to Comey?

Unto he said he hated Donald Trump and would not support him for president.

Get your head out.

He’s a nice, intelligent man, but you sound like the kind of person who would make a victim give a public award to her rapist, because Sowell certainly said he hated Trump and many occasions.

Sowell’s been a great conservative over many years, but in no way do I see it's healthy to force Trump to either award a hater of him or have to publicly say “No.”

It’s complete stupidity.

You’re entitled to an opinion.

No one is “forcing” Trump to do either.

Well, if CNN says it, it must be true. Ahem.

Sessions was supposed to be able to wrap up decades of systemic abuse in 3 weeks.

Well, it sure would be nice if he STARTED looking at the correct people at some point in the first year, instead of continuing to pursue the wrong ones. Is that too much to ask?

Get your head out.

Can you explain?

Both Sowell & Victor Davis Hanson opposed Trump, but it appears VDH has come
around. Not sure about TS.

It pained me during the campaign to lump those two in with Jonathan Goldberg and the
rest of the neocons at NR, and I continued to hold out hope. But right is right, and anyone
who remained against Trump I severed with.

As a prosecutor, Sessions was known as the Silent Assassin. I am glad we are not hearing leaks out of his office. What we know, “they” know. I’d rather he does a thorough job in evidence gathering to put these slimy traitors away. I think it’s gonna be great.

That petition site is supposed to make an official pronouncement from the president once enough signatures are collected.

So, you want him to have to say, “No, I don’t feel comfortable with this” or “Yes, I will give an official ‘thank you’ to a man who hates my guts?”

I do not know how the word, “Unto,” got into my first post to you.

Simply put, Sowell hates Trump and making Trump have to say something one way or the other is just not a nice thing to do, that is, if you like either Trump or Sowell.

Sowell hates Trump and considered himself a NeverTrumper.

So, when a critical number of signatures are received, Trump will have to say something. Tell me which you prefer:

1. “No, I do not feel comfortable giving an award to Mr. Sowell. Sorry, everyone. Nice guy, but ‘no.’”

2. “Okay, I will give an award to Mr. Sowell, the man who hates me and worked hard to make sure I was not elected, because all of you forced me.”
