(ThyBlackMan.com) It is amazing how many different ways the same thing can be said, creating totally different impressions. For example, when President Barack Obama says that defeating ISIS is going to take a long time, how is that different from saying that he is going to do very little, very ...
(ThyBlackMan.com) Last week my super PAC, Black Americans for a Better Future, launched its inaugural speaker’s series with Maryland Lieutenant Governor Boyd Rutherford. This was his first national media event since being sworn into office back in January. Rutherford is a phenomenal administrator and Maryland’s governor, Larry Hogan, could not ...
(ThyBlackMan.com) As I watched the Republican debate on October 10, I thought about Kanye West and the comments he made after Hurricane Katrina decimated New Orleans. He said, “George Bush doesn’t care about Black people”. Later he tiptoed away from the comment by saying he “regretted” it, but he never ...
(ThyBlackMan.com) Republicans love guns as much as they hate big government. Maybe I should say: real conservatives take their right to bear arms and defend themselves under the US Constitution’s second amendment VERY seriously. There’s a reason why you see so many bumper stickers reading “God, country, guns” on Republicans’ ...
(ThyBlackMan.com) I will never forget the debate that engulfed Black America at the time of the nomination of Clarence Thomas to the US Supreme Court. On the one side was the fact of his conservative record and his not having any semblance of a history as a staunch advocate for ...
(ThyBlackMan.com) Recently, in a well documented piece, we found the federal government through the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has been and still is understating the black unemployment rate. Additionally, the BLS is understating the national unemployment rate as well (go to the following link: https://thyblackman.com/2015/11/12/the-rip-off-of-african-americans-and-the-unemployment-rates/ ). However, the objective ...
(ThyBlackMan.com) The recent finding by the Public Religion Research Institute confirmed what we know about how GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump got to be the front runner, and why he has stayed the frontrunner far longer than thought humanly possible. He got there and stays there because so many middle-aged ...
(ThyBlackMan.com) It’s official! Sen. Ted Cruz’s immigration plan trumps Trump’s! I expected that the unveiling of his plan would take a back seat to the Islamic terrorist attack in Paris, France, and rightfully so. However, in lieu of the chaos, presidents will be forced to make many decisions during their ...
(ThyBlackMan.com) President Barack Obama is a politically obsessed sap, not a leader. I tweeted as much a few days ago. In the face of the worst war on terror since 9/11, Obama would rather be a champion for Muslims than the protector-in-chief for Americans. In a press conference from the G20 ...
(ThyBlackMan.com) In the wake of the Paris attacks, let’s examine the rise of ISIS. During the last Democratic debate, Hillary Clinton gave this unchallenged “explanation” of why we left Iraq — without a stay-behind force. She said, “I think that what happened when we abided by the agreement that George ...
(ThyBlackMan.com) There was a painful irony when France’s immediate response to the terrorist attacks in Paris was to close the borders. If they had closed the borders decades ago, they might have avoided this attack. Someone once said that the First World War was the most stupid thing that European ...
(ThyBlackMan.com) Black Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson won’t be elected the first “real black President,” as news media giant Rupert Murdoch prophesied on Twitter October 7, 2015. For starters, Barack Obama has already filled that position. This may come as a surprise to some, but America really elected Barack Obama as our first real black ...
