Candace Owens Declines Victimhood

By Steve Beckow

Posted on August 29, 2024

Here’s another example of what I consider to be the right people here at the right time: Candace Owens, whom Suzi posted a while back.

Candace got my attention when she coined the phrase “institutional evil.” Of course. That’s what it was. But what a clear way of phrasing it.

Here Candace talks about her life growing up and what events persuaded her to drop any story she had that represented herself as a victim.

To say “I hope President Trump puts her in his cabinet” may not do her justice. The Peter Principle is that we advance in position until we reach the level of our incompetence. (1) Candace Owen as a speaker is terrific. As a cabinet member she might not be as much at home. (The same might be said for other current celebrities/cabinet choices.)

But if she were, I’d like to see her in the cabinet as well as Elon, Tucker, Tulsi. Oh my gosh, competent, honest leaders are certainly here and making their voices heard, as long as all of them don’t find cabinet membership too restrictive.

Footnotes

(1) “Employees are promoted based on their success in previous jobs until they reach a level at which they are no longer competent, as skills in one job do not necessarily translate to another.” (Wikipedia.)
