Praise 24/7 NO Today's Best Gospel
(ThyBlackMan.com) This is the part of Hip Hop that never feels new, no matter how many times we see it play out. It starts with momentum. A young man gets hot, not just for a season, but in a way that feels like it could last. The streets recognize him. The industry backs him. The numbers line up. The fans lock in. For a moment, everything is moving the way […]
(ThyBlackMan.com) She did everything a loyalist could do. She bowed to his whims. She weaponized the Justice Department, turning it into the weapon and tool of a vengeful president. She fired all those who had dared to do their jobs and investigate him, or investigate and prosecute his loyal army of January 6 rioters. She decimated the ranks, shredding the independence of the Department, demanding loyalty to the president above […]
(ThyBlackMan.com) Donald Trump’s assault on our democratic institutions did not stop voters from giving him a second term. The top reason they cited for reelecting him was the economy, notably their unhappiness over high prices. During the campaign, Trump promised to “bring prices down, starting on Day One.” How he would do this was left to our imagination. It seemed something along the lines of using his awesome powers to […]
(ThyBlackMan.com) As we close out two months of commemoration and celebration of the history of our people, I reach back to retrieve and reaffirm thoughts on centering and cultivating Black love. It is not an exaggeration to state that there is no issue of greater importance, urgency or enduring impact in terms of the foundation, functioning and future of us as a community and a people than the quality of […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) In nearly every city known for great food, the most memorable meals rarely come from large restaurant chains or corporate dining groups. They come from independent restaurants. These are the places where menus are shaped by personal experience, cultural influence, and creative freedom rather than strict brand guidelines. Independent restaurants are often the foundation of a city’s food identity. They introduce new flavors, preserve traditional cooking methods, and create […]
(ThyBlackMan.com) Last week, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments on the subject of birthright citizenship. Even President Trump sat in the chamber for a portion. I do find it quite perplexing that individuals who willfully violate our laws, disrespecting our national sovereignty, are rewarded by having their progeny become citizens of the very country their parents illegally entered. From that perspective, one would believe that this would not be a […]
(ThyBlackMan.com) Whether you like him or not, even most radical liberal Democrat operatives, er, I mean journalists will admit in private that Donald J. Trump is the most transformative president in the history of the United States. I have been writing about Trump’s transformative journey since 2015. Coming down those golden escalators in Trump Towers to announce his candidacy for president in 2015 was transformative. His blunt, in your face […]
(ThyBlackMan.com) When former president Bill Clinton said, “It is the economy stupid,” in his defeat of former president George H. W. Bush, the nation’s unemployment rate stood at 7.8%. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported March’s most comprehensive unemployment rate, the U-6 category rate, from the Table of Alternative Measures of Labor Underutilization is now, 8.0%, while President Donald Trump’s official unemployment rate, the U-3 category rate clocked in at 4.3%, […]
(ThyBlackMan.com) Criticism of policies advanced by the government of Benjamin Netanyahu can be socially and politically sensitive in the United States. Some observers note that public criticism of Israeli leadership may be interpreted by others as antisemitic, given the long and painful global history of antisemitism. This concern often leads private citizens (such as myself) and public figures to choose their words carefully so that their opposition to specific Israeli […]
