If the Democrat social media strategists are not Republicans, then they have to be the dumbest and unaware political coterie ever created, and we are seeing David Hogg’s hilariously out-of-his-depth influence.

(ThyBlackMan.com) Dead uncle in the middle of the road. Do you hit the brakes or accelerate?  Depends on… British writer/director Rungano Nyoni has her own take on the #MeToo movement as it concerns her home country, Zambia. She prefers a modern fable. One in which the protagonist must find her voice to speak the truths about what has happened. The model for the behavior she must conjure to set things right is not […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) I go to bed at night drained from the bad news of the day brought on mainly from a man who advertises himself as King. I wake up in the morning and there’s more bad news with which he leads.
