(ThyBlackMan.com) It says a lot about the year in sports in 2024 when the choice for TIME Magazine’s Athlete of the Year is polarizing during an Olympic year of noteworthy performances. In 2024, Caitlin Clark concluded her historic college basketball career falling short of leading Iowa to a women’s basketball national championship again but left no doubt that she was one of the best college basketball players ever among the […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) At some point in life, most of us will learn and conclude life isn’t always fair. You can be attractive, charitable, eloquent, friendly, qualified, and operate with integrity in all your dealings without being invited to dance. Class and charisma won’t secure you an invitation to participate in the dance that comes with life if others have already determined who they want on their guest list. Sometimes, guest lists […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) In America there has been a longstanding tradition of special treatment for individuals and families of means. Such individuals and families have been credited with advancing America to its greatness economically, socially and politically among other nations. If it had not been for these special and privileged individuals the US would be just another Western Hemisphere nation. It would probably not be as economically sustainable as Canada, but it […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) One of the most effective ways to lower the cost of your college education is to attend a two-year community college. This way, you can satisfy the lower division requirements at a discount, then transfer to a four-year school for the upper division coursework. However, there is an important consideration to make before doing so. Let’s say you plan to get an online associate degree in business administration from […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Among the more bizarre yet thoroughly amusing moments from the 2024 campaign was the video footage of President Biden donning a “Trump 2024” hat at a fire station in Pennsylvania. With his name not on the ballot, Biden appeared affable and care-free, smiling from ear to ear as he basked in the approval of an audience consisting mostly of Trump voters. It seems Mr. Biden may have kicked-off a […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Remember Orson Welles’ radio drama “The War of the Worlds,” featuring a terrifying Martian invasion? By a stroke of luck, the narrative was apocryphal. This time, we may not be so fortunate. Mushrooming reports from California and New Jersey have revealed swarms of surveillance drones above sensitive areas, in what might be a dress rehearsal for a Chinese version of Pearl Harbor or another 9/11. The Chinese motive is […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) In an interview with Joe Rogan immediately before the November election, Trump said he was too trusting of Washington, D.C. insiders during his first term when it came to cabinet selections and vowed not to make the same mistake in 2024. Boy, has he lived up to his word. President Trump’s nominees for his new administration can easily be called a Dream Team. From conservative stalwarts like Pam Bondi and Sen. […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) The older he gets, the bigger the baby. Donald Trump has turned the U.S. government into one giant pacifier to calm his fear of seeming less than all-powerful. Consider those billionaires now dropping bags of gold at his feet, concerned that he would use his presidential powers to hurt them. Donald Winnicott, a prominent English pediatrician and psychoanalyst, famously wrote that babies have “the illusion of omnipotence.” They think […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) It was just another day in America. Another location, another day of the week that ends in the letter “y”. No real story there. Keep moving, nothing to see. Perhaps the fact that the culprit this time was a female, age 15 may have raised an eyebrow. It may have elicited a “wow.” But nothing more than that. Adults taking the lives of other adults has apparently not been […]
