Praise 24/7 NO Today's Best Gospel
(ThyBlackMan.com) My good friend, the late Joe Madison, would often say “Now that you know, what are you going to do about it?” Today I decided to do the same as Joe so often asked. First, the facts. Donald Trump is doing everything possible to prevent people from voting by mail and in any way. Donald Trump started an unnecessary war, and can’t seem to decide what he wants out of the […]
(ThyBlackMan.com) I arrived in California in 1990 when the state was still a destination worth the move. Thirty-five years later, I have watched a systematic failure of immigration enforcement hollow out the middle of what was once the most dynamic economy in the world. The state that once led the nation in manufacturing, homeownership rates, and public university enrollment now leads in homelessness, unfunded pension liabilities, and domestic outmigration. The erosion […]
(ThyBlackMan.com) That $7,500 tax credit to buy an electric vehicle, now gone, was a “grotesque misallocation of federal spending.” It was a form of “rent-seeking,” whereby companies seek “to dominate the bureaucracy instead of the marketplace.” Thus wrote Kyle Smith in a Wall Street Journal column titled “EVs Can’t Compete Without Subsidies.” Smith deserves the Pulitzer for Clueless Commentary, a competitive category. About six weeks earlier, Trump launched a war on […]
(ThyBlackMan.com) Pope Leo pushed back hard and fast against Trump when he publicly declaimed, he was not intimidated by him. Pope Leo could have saved the defiant talk. If anything, the pontiff should conduct a special mass of thanks to Trump. I say this as a devout Catholic. Yet one who is often critical of the church’s doctrine on abortion, gays, and the role of women. But Trump managed to […]
(ThyBlackMan.com) There is something about real R&B that refuses to die, no matter how much the industry tries to dress it up, water it down, or chase trends. When you hear a true love record, you feel it in your chest before your mind can even process the words. That is where Usher has always lived. In that space between vulnerability and confidence. Between a man who knows what he […]
(ThyBlackMan.com) As we celebrate Us-On-Earth Day again this year, I want to raise again the urgent and ongoing need for us to understand this day and our approach to it as not simply concerns about the earth, but also about us on the earth and what it means to us as well as to the earth and all in it. For this day and month of marking, reminding and reflection […]
(ThyBlackMan.com) Democrat Eric Swalwell and Republican Tony Gonzales were both accused of sexual misconduct involving staffers. Californian Swalwell said he’d resign from his House seat after giving up on his run for governor. Texan Gonzales said he was withdrawing from the 2026 reelection race. Back in the day, male politicians cavorted with their female staffers and got away with it. But that was way back and many days ago. An […]
(ThyBlackMan.com) With the chaos and confusion surrounding the United States’ self-inflicted war with Iran, our NATO allies are experiencing America’s leadership void firsthand. The direct U.S. and Israeli military operation against Iran has severely strained the relationships with our closest European allies, leading to a major decline in confidence in American leadership. The erosion of trust comes from the lack of diplomatic consultation resulting from our nation’s “America First” policy, […]
(ThyBlackMan.com) People keep talking about the future of work as if it is something waiting just around the corner—robots taking jobs, artificial intelligence transforming industries, entire occupations disappearing overnight. I’m speaking soon at a conference on this very topic, and the more I think about it, the more convinced I am that we are asking the wrong question. The future of work is not something waiting decades in the distance. […]
(ThyBlackMan.com) When then-Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) announced his candidacy for governor of California, I was beyond surprised. Rumors of sexual misconduct, including allegations of blatant and serial infidelity, had been circulating for years. Having run for this very office, I experienced firsthand the intense level of local, state and national scrutiny one receives when seeking the top job in the biggest state in the country. The left-wing media treats liberal […]
