(ThyBlackMan.com) Last night I had dinner with King Solomon and he told me in Proverbs 14:12 “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” He then asked me if I had heard about the big announcement recently made by ...
(ThyBlackMan.com) The Clinton administration gave President Donald Trump a gift that, keeps on giving, when it comes to unemployment rates. If we do a reality check and just look at the economy as it really is, we see, it’s Democrats and Democratic leadership, who are sustaining, and propping-up, “the Trump administration’s image, to what extent it may be viewed as positive, when ...
(ThyBlackMan.com) It’s not debatable that the most famous and powerful professional sports league in the U.S. is the National Football League. The NFL’s TV contracts and ratings during the course of every NFL season are some of the best proof of that. Despite the fact that no actual football game ...
(ThyBlackMan.com) America is struggling to describe what it is living through in President Donald Trump’s second term. The language we keep reaching for — “authoritarian,” “strongman,” “dictator” — doesn’t quite fit. Those words imply a rupture…a dramatic overthrow of democracy.

(ThyBlackMan.com) During my time as a public servant in the state of Ohio, I learned a simple truth: markets work best when they are open, competitive, and accountable. When they are not, families pay the price. That’s why a recent lawsuit filed by Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost and the U.S. Department ...
(ThyBlackMan.com) Every March, Women’s History Month brings a familiar rhythm of celebration—panels, proclamations, and tributes to pioneers who shattered glass ceilings. Those stories matter. But if we are honest, the story of women in America cannot be told without confronting another truth: this nation has been built, quite literally, on ...
(ThyBlackMan.com) In today’s Washington, politicians are quick to give and slow to take. The result is a government that won’t push itself back from the table, even though it cannot afford the bill. And this insatiable appetite is fueling an affordability crisis that’s putting the American dream further out of ...
(ThyBlackMan.com) Donald Trump breaks every rule in the book, and he’s never read the book of rules. Time after time, Americans see he’s constitutionally unable to follow the Constitution.
