(ThyBlackMan.com) Sudden weather changes on remote routes can turn a safe trip into a risky one within minutes. To stay safe, you need pre-trip planning, calm thinking, proper vehicle preparation, and the right emergency gear. Since help is often far away, self-reliance matters the most. Because remote route safety depends on quick decisions, drivers must slow down, adjust speed, and find safe shelter when needed. In slippery conditions like snow […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Ever hear the phrase “the burden of proof”? I believe it is used when one accuses someone else of wrong doing that the person making the accusation has the responsibility to prove that the wrong doing was in fact committed. In a court of law, the burden of proof is defined as the duty placed upon a party to prove or disprove a disputed fact. In criminal cases, the […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Life in America doesn’t feel like life right now. It feels like triage. People get up, commute, grind through work, juggle kids and side hustles, scroll through their phones in bed until their eyes burn, then do it again tomorrow. They are surviving, but they are not living. The numbers explain why. The average American now carries around $100,000 in total consumer debt once you add mortgages, credit cards, […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Nick Fuentes is one of the most controversial political figures to rise from the American right in recent years, and his emergence cannot be understood in isolation. He is not simply an internet provocateur, nor is he a traditional political leader shaped by party institutions. He is a product of a political era defined by generational frustration, cultural conflict, and a growing distrust between voters and established leadership. To […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) When it comes to singing about love, very few artists have ever done it as honestly as Mary J. Blige. From the moment her voice hit the airwaves in the early nineties, it was clear she was not interested in fairy tales. Mary sang about love the way people actually experience it. With hope, pain, passion, doubt, forgiveness, and growth all living in the same space. Mary J. Blige […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Factually, the United States economy is not enjoying a full employment economy, as President Donald Trump implies by presenting the official rate of unemployment for November, as 4.6%. Trump stating the nation’s unemployment rate is 4.6%, means 95% of United States’ workers, are fully employed. The estimated size of the U.S. work force is, 170 million people. Investopedia, a highly regarded financial educational web site, which states their experts offer more than 250 years plus of combined experience to ensure they are giving readers […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) I remember in February 2002 when former SecDef Donald Rumsfeld came up with this logic, “As we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say, we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns—the ones we don’t know we don’t know.” At that time, I was a […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) America  stands between two evils, and the truth is blunt enough to bruise:  If Trump’s birther-style executive order that is now before the Supreme Court were carried out, millions of longtime residents—many of them Latino, African, Caribbean, and Asian—would suddenly be reclassified as “non-citizens,” and candidates for deportation,  even though they were born and raised here.  The Migration Policy Institute (MPI) found that “ending birthright citizenship for U.S. babies […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) The soul and funk world lost a true original with the passing of Carl Carlton. While his name may not always be the loudest in mainstream retrospectives, his voice and grooves have lived quietly and powerfully inside the culture for decades. Carlton was one of those artists whose music never needed constant explanation. You heard it, you felt it, and you understood it. With his death, there is a […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) The Trump administration has announced it is appropriating twelve billion dollars to provide aid to the US agricultural industry as a means to offset their loss of foreign sales. While this is good news to US agribusiness it obfuscates the real reasons they are suffering, Trump’s bonehead tariffs and trade policies. Trump imposed unilateral and universal tariffs on numerous countries around the world to Make America Great Again, to restore […]
