They may also conclude that […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) As for the estimated $8 billion in government (taxpayer) money stolen by crooks in Minnesota, people demand answers to many questions. But the 800-pound elephant/question goes unasked: Why is government in the business of welfare in the first place? Where in the Constitution does it permit the federal government to extract money from taxpayers for charity? Years ago, I worked full time one summer as a “loaned executive” for the […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Mark Twain is credited with the saying, “History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes.” Events do not occur over time in the same manner, but you can find patterns or similarities within them that make it appear as though you are experiencing that Yogi-ism, “…it’s deja-vu all over again.” And so it is with the US governments kidnapping of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Christopher Rufo has become one of the most influential and polarizing conservative intellectuals of the last decade, despite not holding public office, running for election, or leading a traditional political movement.

The US Empire struck again. Trump ran in 2024 promising no new wars, a foreign policy based upon mutual respect and beneficial trade among nations has demonstrated again to the world […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) What two witnesses are we referring to? They are the ones mentioned in Revelation chapter eleven. 3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. 4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.

(ThyBlackMan.com) I wrote a column a couple of years ago regarding a “sermon” in Germany that had been created and delivered by ChatGPT. As a devout Christian, the notion that an AI-generated homily could quite literally be taken as the Gospel is deeply troubling to me. I wrote in part: “You can’t simply upload words or thought experiments into an algorithm and receive something that is divinely inspired in return […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) The Lady Justice statue, often seen in many courthouses, has become the most recognized symbol representing American justice. It is portrayed as a blindfolded woman carrying a sword in one hand and a set of scales in the other. She represents the morality and fairness that the legal system was meant to have.
