Assuredly means it’s a sure thing, it’s a done deal. It doesn’t get any surer than this. When Peter stood and proclaimed this message on the day of Pentecost he didn’t have all of the revelation of the New Covenant that […]

Our great country has survived a Civil War, two world wars, a Cold War, and a plethora of legislative and judicial fits and starts in our pursuit of a “more perfect Union.” We have endured some devastating Supreme Court decisions — Dred Scott, The Slaughterhouse Cases, and Plessy v.

(ThyBlackMan.com) As we approach another pivotal election, voters are once again being bombarded with messaging that paints the two main candidates as opposites. We’re told Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump represent radically different visions for America’s economic future. They don’t. When it comes to economic policy, there’s far less daylight between Harris and Trump than either would care to admit. Let’s start with trade policy. Trump’s […]

The latest buzz on the street is that Diddy, who has […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) It’s been a slog for the Trump campaign the past few weeks. Let’s face it: President Joe Biden was former President Donald Trump’s clearest path to victory. And the gift that kept on giving has laid its last golden egg. Biden is gone. It’s incredible how poor a candidate he was. And it took his exit to fully realize just how bad off the Democrats were with him at […]
