(ThyBlackMan.com) Once again, the debate over capital punishment is raging, driven by the staggering incompetence of Tennessee’s would-be prison executioners, who have repeatedly failed to kill Christa Pike for a murder she committed 30 years ago, and by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s shocking announcement that the military plans to livestream the firing-squad execution of Fort Hood mass shooter Major Nidal Hasan. Largely missing, as usual, is the question that ought […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) The moment a proposal is being planned, most of the attention goes toward secrecy and surprise, not conversation. But an engagement ring is one of the few purchases a couple will live with for decades, which makes it one of the rare cases where a little upfront discussion actually protects the surprise rather than ruining it. Getting the underlying details right matters just as much as the moment itself. […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) After Tennessee unsuccessfully tried to execute Christa Pike last week, an ambulance whisked her to a Nashville hospital, where the condemned murderer became a patient in urgent need of lifesaving care. Should Pike recover from two botched administrations of pentobarbital, which left her unconscious and unable to breathe on her own, she might travel that road in reverse after she is well enough to be killed. That bizarre episode […]

A new Wall Street Journal poll finds remarkable bipartisan support for government limits on prices, with 93% of Democrats and 83% of Republicans supporting capping prescription drug prices. Nearly four in five voters support capping credit card interest rates at 10%. And large majorities favor capping child care charges for working families. The Journal […]
