Praise 24/7 NO Today's Best Gospel
(ThyBlackMan.com) Greetings everyone, and Happy New Year. I am starting this new year with a new right hip. Surgery was back in December, and recovery has gone exceptionally well. I know that many of you have resolutions; I hope you can fulfill them. As we enter into 2026, the year that will welcome America’s 250th celebration of Independence, and a critical midterm election, there is a simple question. What do […]
(ThyBlackMan.com) There are probably a few Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan veterans and retired military strategists and analysts who would convey to Trump the message “Leave Venezuela alone.” American soldiers and the American public are not cut out to fight a war longer than two weeks. Playing a video war game yes, but not an actual boots on the ground full scale military campaign. At the same time, there will be […]
(ThyBlackMan.com) I am writing this as a Black father speaking plainly, honestly, and without filters. Not as a soundbite. Not as a political slogan. And not as something designed to fit neatly into either side of a culture war. I am writing from lived experience and from the quiet thoughts many Black men have but rarely say out loud. When the phrase pro life comes up in Black spaces, people […]
(ThyBlackMan.com) Here is what we know, the United States economy, as it is presently called, a “K shaped economy,” is unsustainable. It is just impossible to maintain this economy, without a comprehensive solution to grow Jobs and the economy; a solution, not based on the stock market reaching new highs, but on main street or average Americans becoming participants in future economic growth. The rich can’t keep getting richer, as […]
(ThyBlackMan.com) Russell Conwell, a Civil War captain, revered Abraham Lincoln. But unlike most, he met the man face to face. Twice. In his book, “Acres Of Diamonds,” Conwell recalled visiting Lincoln at the White House to plead for the life of a young soldier who had been sentenced to death. “I never was so afraid when the shells came around us at Antietam as I was when I went into […]
(ThyBlackMan.com) Come here for a minute. Sit down. Take a breath. Before there were salons on every corner, before YouTube tutorials, before booking apps and price lists, Black women learned how to braid hair the old way. We learned by watching. By listening. By sitting on the floor between somebody’s knees while hands moved with purpose and patience. Braiding was never rushed. It was never casual. It was care. It […]
(ThyBlackMan.com) America has a big birthday this year. Here’s a hint: The celebration will not feel much like the last big one in 1976. I still believe our nation’s best days are ahead. But our history—and our headlines—suggest we are facing a familiar test. Another fraught fight for freedom and democracy is already upon us. That, too, is part of a pattern. How America marks century anniversaries has looked different from […]
(ThyBlackMan.com) President Barack Obama signed The Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, in 2010 without a single Republican vote in the House or the Senate. When Obama announced it to the nation, Vice President Joe Biden could be heard on a hot mic telling Obama, “This is a big f–-ng deal.” It was no exaggeration, particularly given that most Americans opposed it. The liberal Brookings Institution think tank recently wrote: “The […]
(ThyBlackMan.com) There is something emotionally satisfying about watching a wealthy person call for higher taxes on people like himself. It feels civic-minded, even noble. A recent commentary by former Utah senator, Massachusetts governor and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney fits squarely into this tradition. Faced with a looming fiscal cliff, Romney concludes that entitlement reform is unavoidable and that higher taxes on affluent Americans must be part of the solution. […]
(ThyBlackMan.com) One would think Donald Trump, the man now at the White House, did nothing except the things he says he did! Trump did a Prime-Time speech a few nights ago, interrupting all other programs to blame everything on Joe Biden or the Democrats. He took credit for many things he did not do. He left out things he did do. He left out everything about Epstein—the biggest case in […]
