Ben Carson, pushing opportunity, battles poverty

April 28, 2019 battles poverty , Ben Carson 0 Comments

By Washington Examiner, April 26, 2019

Anyone who doubts the conservative commitment to fighting poverty should read the essay published Friday at RealClearPolicy by Ben Carson, secretary of Housing and Urban Development. It assesses the new “opportunity zones” enacted as part of the Republican-passed 2017 tax reform, designed to “incentiviz[e] long-term investments in low-income neighborhoods.”

By Fox, July 07, 2016

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Donald Trump today is expected to release a list of speakers for the Republican National Convention.

There is a long list of party faithful who will not attend, but Trump has tweeted that there is no shortage of speakers.

We can expect a non-traditional slate of speakers at the RNC. He's given some hints, and sports stars and family members are expected to be on the list.

Carson Levels An Accusation Against Planned Parenthood!

Ben Carson: Planned Parenthood Clinics Put in Black Neighborhoods to 'Control That Population'


By Jeff Poor, Aug 12, 2015 Breitbart

Wednesday on Fox News Channel’s “Your World,” former Johns Hopkins neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson, a candidate for the 2016 Republican nomination, sounded off on Planned Parenthood, as the so-called women’s health organization has been under fire in recent weeks for a series of videos suggesting they were open to selling aborted fetal tissue for profit.

Carson referred to the founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger and her position on eugenics, particularly as it pertained to blacks, which he said may not allow for him to be objective when it comes to Planned Parenthood.

“Well, maybe I’m not objective when it comes to Planned Parenthood. But you know, I know who Margaret Sanger is, and I know that she believed in eugenics, and that she was not particularly enamored with black people,” Carson said. “And one of the reasons that you find most of their clinics in black neighborhoods is so that you can find way to control that population. And I think people should go back and read about Margaret Sanger, who founded this place — a woman who Hillary Clinton by the say says she admires. Look and see what many people in Nazi Germany thought about her.”

Ben Carson's Gentle Virtuous Rhetoric Elevated The Debate


By David French, Aug 07, 2015 National Review

The first half of yesterday’s GOP debate was not kind to Ben Carson. Ignored for long stretches, his soft-spoken demeanor sometimes contrasted unfavorably with his more intense and passionate opponents. But then came the second half, when Ben Carson said this:

Megyn Kelly asked him what he would do, as president, to heal the nation’s racial divide — a divide that’s grown during President Obama’s two terms. Carson began by rightly noting the power of the “bully pulpit” — the pulpit Obama has used to such divisive effect — and decried the “purveyors of hatred who take every single incident between people of two races and try to make a race war out of it and drive wedges into people.” This is all true and right to say, but what came next was truly unexpected:

Ben Carson: 'Gay' Marriage 'Now Law Of The Land' 

Says government 'must never force Christians' to betray beliefs

By WND/The Hill, Jun.27, 2015

(THE HILL) GOP presidential candidate Ben Carson said he “strongly disagreed” with the Supreme Court’s decision Friday to legalize same-sex marriage nationwide but acknowledged it is “now the law of the land.”

“I call on Congress to make sure deeply held religious views are respected and protected,” Carson said in a statement issued following the court’s historic ruling. “The government must never force Christians to violate their religious beliefs.”

Ben Carson: 'I Believe I Can Be President'

By Greg Richter, May 31, 2015, Newsmax

With the latest Quinnipiac poll showing him tied for first place with four other GOP hopefuls, Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson said he believes there is a possibility he could actually become president.

The campaign is the first political race for the retired neurosurgeon, but that recent poll put him at 10 percent, tied for first, with the likes of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker.

When asked Sunday by ABC's "This Week" host George Stephanopoulos, "Are you starting to believe you can be president?" Carson replied, "I certainly believe that that is a possibility."

But, he added, voters should look at everything all the candidates are saying before making up their minds.

Carson also addressed the statement by one of his presidential rivals, Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, who recently blamed the creation of the Islamic State (ISIS) on Republican hawks.

Giving Paid Speeches As A Candidate

Ben Carson Isn't Waiting Until The Election's Over To Cash In 

By Sam Brodey, May 29, 2015, MotherJones.com

GOP grassroots star Dr. Ben Carson is not letting his presidential campaign interfere with another important endeavor: delivering speeches and getting paid handsomely for them. National Review reported last month that Carson, in an unusual move, will continue to deliver paid speeches "well into next fall." The conservative magazine noted that Carson "would break with long-standing practice discouraging presidential candidates from collecting cash at the podium." Carson reportedly charges at least $40,000 for each appearance.

Carson—whose rise from the housing projects of Detroit to international renown as a neurosurgeon became a TV movie—has been a sought-after public speaker for years. But the demand for Carson speeches within conservative circles soared after his 2013 National Prayer Breakfast speech, during which he sharply criticized President Barack Obama, who was sitting a few feet away. Carson's speaking engagements—which range from political groups to churches to health care organizations—are booked by the Washington Speakers Bureau.

Typically, presidential hopefuls clear their speaking schedules and eliminate lucrative contracts to avoid any appearance of conflicts of interest. But not Carson. I

...new, even worse and more dangerous era

Ben Carson on selfies: Please stop 

Dr. Ben Carson
Source:  Tumbler
By Adam B. Lerner, Apr 9, 2015, Politico.com

Ben Carson is sick of selfies.

The Republican neurosurgeon and 2016 hopeful penned an op-ed for the Washington Post Outlook section’s spring cleaning feature on why the practice of taking a picture of oneself needs to go. This past year, Carson wrote, the practice completely crossed the line with the introduction of the selfie stick into the American mass market.

 
“The selfie stick ushers in a new, even worse and more dangerous era for the form. The stick doesn’t just validate selfies by building a cottage industry around them. It also says, ‘Snap them everywhere!’” he wrote.

“Please stop.”

Ben Carson stirred controversy last week when he suggested Americans could learn something from the Islamic State terrorist organization. “They’re willing to die for what they believe, while we are busily giving away every belief and every value for the sake of political correctness,” he told a Republican meeting.

Ben Carson Won't Speak At MLK Memorial Because Of 'Hefty' Speaker's Fee

Fox News Radio, Jan. 6, 2015, Alan.com

The organizer of an event honoring the memory of Martin Luther King, Jr. in New Hampshire this month briefly considered inviting Ben Carson to speak, but that attempt ended when Carson wanted a huge fee.

Carson is represented exclusively by the Washington Speakers Bureau, which has a range of speakers’ fees, depending on logistics, demand and availability. Some of the fees climb into five digits. The fee code for Carson indicates he is in the range of $40,000 and up.

Ben Carson: Presidential Announcement Coming In "Few Months," In Spring

Andrew Kaczynski, Jan. 2, 2015, BuzzFeed

“I will announce before March, before May 1st,” Carson said on NewsMaxTV’sAmerica’s Forum on Friday. “I would just say that I am listening extremely carefully. I don’t want to do something that the American people do not want me to do.”

Earlier in the interview Carson said he was “thinking very seriously, listening to people, and will make a decision in a few months,” adding he was “acquiring” the knowledge needed to run for president.

Inside the effort to draft Ben Carson for 2016 --He may do it...

May 16, 2014 Ben Carson , Presidential Election 2016 0 Comments
Dr. Ben Carson
By Alex Pappas, March 18, 2014

Carson, 62, has never run for office before. But conservatives rallied around him last year after he famously criticized Obamacare during the National Prayer Breakfast. He made his comments as President Obama sat just a few feet away.

In an interview this week with The Daily Caller, Robinson — a 58-year-old black conservative who lives in Winston Salem, N.C. and serves as the full-time campaign director for the PAC — recalled first learning about Carson from his mother.

“Remember, a whole generation of African-Americans,” Robinson said, “every black parent wanted their sons to be Dr. Carson and their daughters to marry him.”

Carson has written a handful of books, including “Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story.” TNT later based a TV movie off that book, with Cuba Gooding Jr. playing the role of Carson.

Robinson said the idea for the pro-Carson super PAC came from Sousa and a few friends. After discussing the roster of potential Republicans who might run in 2016, the group agreed that they thought someone like Carson was capable of defeating Clinton in a general election.

Ben Carson Weighs 'Calling' for Presidential Run --He's considering

May 16, 2014 Ben Carson , Presidential Election 2016 0 Comments
Dr. Ben Carson
By Melanie Batley, May 15, 2014, Newsmax.com

Ben Carson may be shifting toward a 2016 run for president.

Carson has said that while he doesn't have a plan to make a run, and would only do so if he felt "called by God." Now, he is "starting to feel it."

According to The Weekly Standard, the retired director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital said his thoughts about running for president have been affected recently by the enthusiastic audience he has received from across the country.

Urgent: Do You Want Dr. Carson to Run in 2016? Vote in Urgent Poll.

"Over the years, there have been many attempts to get me to throw my hat in the political arena," Carson wrote in his new book, "One Nation: What We Can All Do to Save America's Future."

"I have been offered support from around the country and tremendous financial resources if I decide to run for national office. But I have not felt the call to run," he wrote, adding that "If I felt called by God to officially enter the world of politics, I would certainly not hesitate to do so."

But in an interview this week, Carson told the Standard he's "starting to feel it. Because every place I go, it's unbelievable."

He said one woman "really touched me the other night … She just kept clinging to my hand and said, 'You have to run. You have to run.' And so many people tell me that, and so I think I'm starting to hear something."

Nevertheless, Carson told the Standard the prospect would be "daunting."

"I know how vehemently the left will come after you, try to destroy you, try to destroy your family. But at the same time I recognize that people like Nathan Hale – he said, 'My only regret is I have but one life to give to my country' … And if everybody runs for the hills because they're afraid that somebody is going to attack them or their family, then [the left] will have won."

In December, in an interview with Steve Malzberg on Newsmax TV, Carson acknowledged that running in 2016 would be a possibility.
