(ThyBlackMan.com) I have stood at too many gravesides this year. Every one of them hands me the same lesson, and every time I act surprised to get it. We put things off. The tough talk waits. A kind word stays stuck in the throat. The pictures sit in a drawer, the paperwork never gets signed, and then we spend real money trying to say over a casket what we never […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Every family has their own traditions, passed down from generation to generation. Some traditions extend beyond your personal family unit to your wider community, others are things that just you and your mom have done since you were a little kid. If you’re lucky enough to have strong ties to your African heritage, then that’s a whole world full of cultural elements and traditions you can include on your […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) With the midterm elections nearing, Democrats are surging ahead in the polls, offering rhetoric about a “failed Republican economy.” But the facts show that the first two years of Republican control have produced impressive economic gains, especially for minorities, women and workers on the bottom rungs of the economic ladder. It’s not the economy, stupid, that’s souring Americans on the GOP. It’s energy prices, which are causing pain at […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Any time spent on social media — X in particular — makes it very clear that conservative Americans are utterly fed up with congressional Republicans. And with good reason. The current (119th) Congress has set records for what The Washington Post called “low legislative output” — second only to the 118th. To be fair, Speaker Mike Johnson and the House of Representatives have been giving it the old college […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) The American people are right to be angry. They work hard, pay their taxes, struggle with inflation, and watch the price of groceries, housing, utilities, and insurance continue to climb. Meanwhile, too many politicians arrive in Washington and somehow leave far wealthier than when they entered. That is not public service. It is an abuse of public trust. I did not come to Congress to get rich. I did not […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Haven’t we seen this movie before? Voters, weary of a Republican president whose foreign or domestic policies don’t seem to be delivering as promised, seem on the verge of a massive rejection of his party. Polls show Democrats surging. The generic ballot — which party’s candidates would you favor for the House of Representatives? — shows Democrats far ahead of Republicans. Statewide polls show Democrats ahead in large states […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Synthetic indices are often discussed alongside other markets like forex pairs, stocks, and commodities. However, synthetic indices operate differently because they are algorithm-generated instruments designed to simulate specific patterns of market movements. The prices of many synthetic assets are generated mathematically rather than being driven by company earnings, economic reports, or central bank decisions. Traders interested in the synthetic indices signals market can discover a structured way to study […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Thomas Cromwell was the Lord Chancellor of England for much of the reign of King Henry VIII. He engineered the convictions and executions of many whom Henry wanted out of the way, including his two predecessors in office — one of whom was St. Thomas More — and even the king’s second wife, Queen Anne. When Cromwell’s son Gregory, who became sickened as he watched his father devolving from […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Is the federal government’s history of enormous deficits proof that it can keep up the borrowing? Some people think so, and legislators sure act that way. Federal debt held by the public now equals the size of the annual economy — and is growing. Yet investors continue buying Treasury securities. No government bond sale has really failed, no one has suddenly refused to finance Washington’s spending, and no unmistakable […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) The baptism of the Holy Spirit, (Holy Ghost if you wish for it means the same thing), is a doctrine clearly taught in Scripture but it is understood differently by different church denominations. There are some who take this doctrine and make it look as if they are the only ones privy to its truth and in the process mislead their members. The Bible is quite clear that no part […]
