(ThyBlackMan.com) While watching sports on television, it is nearly impossible to avoid seeing celebrities such as Kevin Hart and Jamie Foxx promoting sports gambling ads multiple times over the course of a three-hour football game or two-hour basketball game. It speaks to the increased presence of companies like MGM Casino, Caesars Sportsbook, FanDuel, and similar gambling outlets that they are able to have big name celebrities promote their companies. The […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Now that Zohran Mamdani is the mayor-elect of New York City, expect the slings and arrows at him to intensify.  He has been called everything but a child of God, and he gleefully claims himself as a democratic socialist, a Muslim, a progressive social justice advocate and a leader who recognizes the shoulders on which he stands, shouting out some of the workers responsible for his victory. He is […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Harriet Tubman’s life and words remain among the most inspiring in American history. She was not merely an abolitionist but a visionary whose courage helped shape the moral conscience of a divided nation. Tubman’s statements, recorded from speeches, letters, and conversations, are as much declarations of truth as they are reflections of an indomitable spirit. The seven quotes below illuminate her resilience, her profound faith, and her unbreakable pursuit of […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Donald Trump’s approval numbers continue to crater. Even Republicans have cooled on the president’s performance. But the president shows no sign of noticing, nor is he changing his ways. Even his gaslighting has gone wan. He’s failed to make Americans believe that prices are going down when they’re clearly not. What gives? Why isn’t he trying to win back the public’s love? Perhaps because he no longer cares. The […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Thirty miles south of Chicago, the Gary Works steel mill is getting a $14 billion modernization, protecting tens of thousands of jobs. Similar investments are underway in Pittsburgh. On the surface, these are the headlines American manufacturing needs. But the bigger story is far darker: across the country, American manufacturing is losing ground. Gary and Pittsburgh are exceptions, not the rule. The pace of manufacturing growth between 2022 and 2024 […]

(ThyBlackMan.com)  There are numerous unpleasant truths Americans of all stripes, phenotypes and colors need to confront and determine what, if anything, we can do to resolve them. What are unpleasant truths you ask? Simply put, unpleasant truths are difficult and uncomfortable facts which need to be acknowledged and addressed; by addressed, I mean confronted and resolved. Failure to do so will result in conditions worsening and potentially spiraling even more […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) I think the Supreme Court will rule against President Donald Trump’s imposition of tariffs. That said, it’s just remarkable that the vote will not be 9-0. Trump is claiming sweeping powers to impose (and rescind and reimpose and re-rescind) tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 (IEEPA), which was a revised version of the Trading with the Enemy Act of 1917 (TWEA). The acronyms “I-EE-pah” and […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Victory is both a process that involves living successfully day by day, and a product where we achieved success, and has overcome the evil one. When we speak of victory we are mindful of the energy expended to achieve some goal, we think of obstacles we surmounted, battles fought and won, trials we prevailed over, temptations we defeated and evil schemes we demolished. In the victory parade we can […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) The interview with President Donald Trump by Norah O’Donnell at Mar-a-Lago which aired on CBS on Sunday, 11/2/2025 was not up to 60 Minutes’ usually high standards. While the 28-minute broadcast included topics about healthcare, the stock market, economic immigration, the filibuster, tariffs, and the legal attacks on people Trump disliked and Trump’s legal woes, there was no discussion at all on voters’ number one issue. Incredible as that […]
