(ThyBlackMan.com) A practical money plan does not start with ambition. It starts with honesty. That can be disappointing because many people want a fast answer, a clever method, or a dramatic reset. But the most useful financial plans usually begin with a plain question: what is actually happening with your money right now? That question matters because vague stress can make everything feel worse than it is and, sometimes, easier […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) In California, two of the country’s most closely watched political races are unfolding in front of voters — the Los Angeles mayoral contest and the Democrat dogpile to replace Gov. Gavin Newsom. Both races are crowded with progressive candidates, each trying to one-up the others in a bid to court the radical left. This showcase in socialism salesmanship offers a glimpse into the doctrine Democrats hope to impose on […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) The British election should serve as a warning to Democrats who let their left fringe run riot with scant criticism. Too many Democratic strategists and friends in the progressive media read the noise coming from the far left as evidence of broader public opinion than warranted, even among Democrats. Then come voting day, turned-off moderates make them lose. Britain’s voters just battered the Labour Party over what many perceived […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Ever feel like your life is traveling along a certain path then out of the blue you slam into a road block or dead end. Sure, your minding your own business, pursing your own dreams and there it is a sign post stuck in the middle of the road informing you that you can’t continue on in the direction you were hoping to go. Annoying isn’t it! Of course […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Nothing would make California Democrats, less Democrats, and more a laughingstock than the election of an up-front MAGA California governor. Note I said MAGA governor not a Republican governor. One candidate, the front runner, Steve Hilton, proudly gushes over the endorsement he got from Trump. The other, Riverside County Sheriff. Chad Bianco, near the top in some polls also proudly wears the MAGA allegiance badge. They are perched at […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Owning a home is often viewed as a sign of progress and stability, yet the day to day responsibility that comes with it is rarely discussed in detail. Many families work hard to secure a property, only to realize that maintaining it requires ongoing attention, time, and financial discipline. Small issues may seem manageable at first, but when they are overlooked, they begin to affect the structure, safety, and […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) These days, a lot of Americans hear the word election and immediately tune out mentally. Not because they are careless, but because many feel worn down by politics altogether. After years of arguments, rising costs, broken promises, and nonstop division online, some people honestly feel disconnected from the entire process. As an Elder Brother watching all this over the years, I can understand why certain folks feel that way […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas wrote a concurring opinion, joined by Justice Neil Gorsuch, in the recent case that restricted the use of race in designing a Louisiana congressional district. Thomas wrote: “This Court should never have interpreted (Section) 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to effectively give racial groups ‘an entitlement to roughly proportional representation.’ … By doing so, the Court led legislatures and courts […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) As I think lovingly and appreciatively of my mother on this coming Mother’s Day and reflect on this past May Day, I remember that it was my mother and father who taught me the dignity and duty of work and worker, and the role of work and workers in serving our community and humanity, and in making and remaking the world. And they taught me also the equally important […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) A lot of younger brothers are carrying pressure quietly and thinking their value as a man only comes from what is sitting in their bank account. I understand why some think like that. Most of us grew up hearing the same message over and over. A man provides. A man handles business. A man keeps everything together no matter how tired he feels inside. Somewhere along the line, many […]
