(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 […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) “They’re not serious about the exploitation of college athletes, protecting their health, safety and ability to share in the enormous profits that’s being created because of their sweat and labor … There’s no industry or activity in America where this much wealth is created and the people that actually create the wealth are not seeing the kind of benefits or protections they deserve.” — U.S. Senator Cory Booker College sports […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) “You may have watches, but we have the time.” I remember being told this aforementioned quote while I was serving in the Middle East in combat operations. I think it is quite obvious that to which the maxim alludes, it is about strategic patience and resolve. Islamists, and especially the number one sponsor of Islamic terrorism, Iran, are focused on a long game, not a few weeks. It is […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) One recent night I watched several LAPD cars blow through one of the busiest intersections in South L.A. with lights flashing and sirens going full blast. Some cars abruptly stopped. Others jerked quickly to the side of the road. Others almost collided with one of the police cars. The cars were likely involved in one of the hot pursuit car chases later reported. Luckily there were no collisions or […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Two of the most well-known figures in California are UCLA women’s basketball head coach Cori Close and Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James. Close just led her Bruins team to its first NCAA women’s basketball national championship in program history following a 2025-2026 women’s college basketball season in which they lost only one game. James, arguably the most famous active athlete on the planet, has to pick up more […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) During a private Easter luncheon at the White House, President Donald Trump made his position on child care funding unmistakably clear. He told attendees that he told Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought: “Don’t send any money for day care, because the United States can’t take care of day care. That has to be up to a state. We can’t take care of day care. We’re a […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) It seems contradictory that an adult would make a concerted effort to instill in a child the ideas of correct behavior, playing by the rules, and exhibiting good sportsmanship. Yet they fail to practice what they preach when they choose to play by their own one-sided rules in certain situations. Rather than abiding by the established norms, procedures, and regulations set in place for everyone to follow, they prefer […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) It appears that folks living in the gently rolling farmland of southwestern Ohio don’t want a 2-million-square-foot data center plopped down the road from their front porches. What’s wrong with them? Are they snotty not-in-my-backyard liberals? Not quite. Wilmington, Ohio, is a very Republican region marked by modest incomes. Such demographics may have made the locals, and other rural Americans, look like an easy sale to the tech companies […]
