(ThyBlackMan.com) The old blues singer had it right: “When a lady gets the blues, she hangs her head and cries. When a man gets the blues, he grabs the train and rides.” The relationship between poverty and family breakdown has always been undeniable. For decades, conservatives have rightly sounded the alarm about family breakdown — declining marriage rates, rising single parenthood, children without stable households. Strong families are the foundation […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Even if President Trump did the right not the abominable, unconscionable, potentially starvation threatening wrong thing in refusing to release the $5.5 billion held in the SNAP contingency fund it will not change one brutal, life endangering fact. Even if every penny is released, the contingency fund amount only covers slightly more than half of November’s benefits. But far worse, it will not change the even harsher fact that […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) The United States is engaged in summary executions on the high seas. That bald fact is being obscured by talk of drug interdiction and war powers and whether we’re certain the drugs on those boats were headed for the United States or somewhere else. Let’s be clear. Even if we knew for certain that the boats being destroyed in the Caribbean and the eastern Pacific 1) contained illegal drugs; […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Nick Fuentes represents one of the most polarizing figures of twenty-first-century American political life. To understand him is to confront how the political fringes, once confined to obscure corners of the internet, have begun to shape the tone and trajectory of mainstream conservatism. From a historian’s point of view, Fuentes is both a product and a reflection of his era—a figure emerging from a generation disillusioned with the promises […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Sounds a little spooky doesn’t it? I suppose with Halloween just passing, this might be an interesting topic. When we hear this phrase, we might conjure up ideas of good and evil and specifically lean towards identification of those that pertain to the latter. We can see images of devils, witches and black cats and think pretty quickly we have discerned those that are evil. Is this really what […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) I received a massive response from my column last week.  I wrote about the Trump administration being open for business, especially for small businesses, and even more so for Black businesses. I was subsequently contacted by a small group of extremely successful Black entrepreneurs.  Many are household names and each generating hundreds of millions of dollars up to a couple billion dollars of annual revenue. I had no previous relationship […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) For decades, labor unions have sold Americans a lie—that they stand for the working man. In truth, they’ve always stood for themselves. Bloated, unaccountable, and addicted to political power, union bosses have drained taxpayers, strangled innovation, and driven good jobs out o f the country. A new report by Americans for Limited Government (ALG), Union Bosses vs. MAGA, exposes the latest chapter in this long-running racket: a sprawling scheme […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) The sound you heard was windows being smashed at the East Wing. The sound you did not hear was questions from officials paid to monitor what happens to a National Heritage Site. The White House is owned by the American people, not any current inhabitant. It’s true that other presidents have made changes to the beloved building, but none before Donald Trump amputated an entire limb. The “Broken Windows” […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) In American politics, a single image can shift the narrative of a man’s career. One photograph — one gesture — can eclipse months of speeches and policies, transforming substance into scandal. Such is the case with Vice President JD Vance and Erika Kirk, the widow of conservative firebrand Charlie Kirk. The two shared what might have been, in another context, an ordinary hug — but in the white-hot theater […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) When you’re just starting out behind the wheel, one of your biggest monthly expenses (after fuel) is likely to be insurance. For new or inexperienced drivers, insurance premiums can feel punishingly high. That’s why choosing a car that’s inexpensive to insure is a smart move. Before browsing listings or auctions, make sure you perform an auction vin check so you don’t end up surprised by hidden damage or history. In […]
