Republican Party get their butts kicked because they once again totally ignored the Black vote during Georgia’s two U.S. Senate races.  I couldn’t help but think about how they were having another “Kodak moment.” For many years, a “Kodak moment” was used as a tagline in Kodak’s advertising campaigns.  Any event that you wanted to memorialize was called a Kodak moment.  It was one of the most successful advertising campaigns in history. George Eastman and Henry Strong founded t...

Joe Biden is poised to launch a Covid-19 economic relief plan worth trillions of dollars. Here are some meaningful observations for all of us to consider in the run-up to Mr. Biden’s planned announcement of the details of his Covid-19 economic spending plan on Thursday. It is questionable, whether Mr. Biden, the Democratic Party, and his economic team view direct payments to consumers as a Direct Consumer Tax Cut. Obviously, if they admitted it, they would have to admit to how remarkably suc...

( ThyBlackMan.com) Three things happened within a day of each other that tell much about why the Capitol riots won’t change a darn thing. A judge in Iowa City, Iowa brazenly announced that a Trump white terrorist who plowed into a group of police abuse protesters would not serve a days’ time in jail for his deadly act. Instead, he got probation and his record can be expunged. Rightwing talk show gabber Rush Limbaugh bragged that he deactivated his  Twitter account in protest of  Twitter...

( ThyBlackMan.com) “When someone shows you who they are,” Maya Angelou said, “believe them the first time.” We’re about to be reminded who and what the corporate-owned Democratic Party is — something it showed us in 2009. A pair of upset victories in the widely watched pair of Georgia senatorial runoff elections has handed Democrats what they said they needed to get big things done: control of the White House, the House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. If they want, they have...

( ThyBlackMan.com) Donald Trump did not lose the election because he ran a bad campaign. On the contrary, he ran a prototypical one, that produced tremendous turnout on election day. President Trump maintained the voter enthusiasm that has come to define his political career, as evidenced by his ability to fill stadiums and market merchandise. Donald Trump lost, however, because enthusiasm mattered little in this unique election. In an election where voting early and by mail was the norm, the ...

ThyBlackMan.com) Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos made headline news again with the announcement that he donated $10 billion, the biggest private donation in 2020, to a slew of organizations fighting climate change. One of the world’s top richest men, Tesla CEO Elon Musk barely edged him for the number one world’s richest man spot, Bezos was hailed for his generosity and for putting his checkbook where his passion is in saving the planet. Bezos could certainly afford to plow billions into his pet cau...

synergy” between “ inside and outside” rejectionists that many feared. It is precisely the kind of chaos that Trump wanted. Almost every Republican has been playing with fire for years, months, and weeks, and those who orchestrated today’s obstruction on the floor of the House were lighting new matches. At least some of them knew exactly what they were doing. All of them are responsible. Homeland Security and the National Guard are yet nowhere to be seen—a most curious delay. The Pres...

and thus resolutions) usually fall short due to one reason: lack of intention. According to the King James concordance, the word ‘purpose’ ( as a derivative) is found fifty-six times in the Holy Bible. We tend to chase purpose as if we know what it is. Flip the script. Allow purpose to chase you. Purpose chases intention, good or bad. A man or woman whose intention it is to wreak havoc will become purposeful in that regard and ultimately reap the reward of such intention. Conversely, when w...

When we really needed all hands on deck in Georgia, Trump was a wrecking ball. He went down to Georgia and insulted everyone, refusing to talk about anything but himself. Based on his rally speech this week, Donald Trump apparently thinks he won the November election because there was a red wave for everyone except him. How else could all those Republicans win congressional seats on his “coattails,” while he lost? There are other ways to interpret the election results, such as that Trump di...

ThyBlackMan.com) Recently, a bunch of white rioters aka Trump rioters ( not protestors) had stormed The Nation’s Capitol Of D.C. The White Nationalist Trump supporters are constantly referred to by corporate white media outlets like Fox News as “protestors” when in reality, they’re nothing but a bunch of thuggish white nationalist rioters who are dumbly protesting over the nationwide presidential election. If we as black people had stormed The Nation’s Capitol like the white nationali...
