The Biden-Harris Orwellian Redefining of “Court-Packing”

The Biden-Harris Orwellian Redefining of “Court-Packing”

Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are redefining the words “court packing” in a manner worthy of George Orwell’s 1984, ironically previewing how a packed (i.e., expanded) Supreme Court would redefine the Constitution’s words, abolishing our democratic republic as it has existed for over 200 years. 

Perhaps the most revolutionary aspect of our Constitution is that it is a written document. America’s…

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, I’m a Black Democrat

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, I’m a Black Democrat

I would give anything to be completely wrong about blacks overwhelming voting Democrat in the upcoming Presidential election. It is my deepest wish that the black community will come to its senses and cease voting in-mass for the Joe Biden’s and Kamala Harris’.  In Post-Civil Right America, Democrats, as typified by the Biden/Harris ticket, will continue their habit of improving the lot of the…

Institutional Racism

Institutional racism and systemic racism are terms bandied about these days without much clarity. Being 84 years of age, I have seen and lived through what might be called institutional racism or systemic racism. Both operate under the assumption that one race is superior to another. It involves the practice of treating a person or group of people differently based on their race. Negroes, as we…

The Issue is Never The Issue

The Issue is Never The Issue

If you haven’t figured it out by now Black Lives Matter (BLM) is not an organization about saving Black lives; but pushing an ideology that draws together LGBTQ activism, Marxism, and Critical Race Theory. Collectively, these have become the trifecta that has highjacked the conversation about “race”. BLM has cloaked its mission with trappings of black liberation combined with elements of the…

Do Black Lives Really Matter?

Do Black Lives Really Matter?

The recent and tragic murder of George Floyd has sparked a series of protest marches led by the “Black Lives Matter” (BLM) movement. And, though most believe in not only the right to protest but also its just cause; many have rightly questioned the true end game of the Black Lives Matter organizers.

A few years ago (as the BLM movement first gained national attention following the shooting…

Individual Responsibility vs. the Welfare State: A biblical perspective

Individual Responsibility vs. the Welfare State: A biblical perspective

You might think that the bible would support the ideological premise that we ought to do well by our fellow man. We are supposed to help those in need. There are many scriptures that would lead one to this conclusion along with those verses that call upon us to help the poor, widowed, and orphaned. On this, most of us would agree. There is a responsibility for those well off to help those who are…

Our Destiny

The recent coronavirus pandemic has again highlighted some of the persistent maladies and dysfunction common in “communities of color.” Many are using the pandemic and its toll on the “Black community” as evidence of continued White supremacy with an all too familiar call for the government to do something.

However, what many fail to understand is that today’s White supremacists include…

Managing a Disaster

I’m not sure whether COVID-19, first identified in Wuhan, China, in the U.S. qualifies as a true disaster. Putting the disease in perspective, we might look at current influenza illnesses. According to the Centers for Disease Control estimates, between Oct. 1, 2019, and March 14, 2020, there have been 390,000 to 710,000 hospitalizations as a result of the flu, 38,000,000 to 54,000,000 flu…

Obama’s Nobelian Demeanor

Does anyone remember President Obama’s chimerical economic indicator of “jobs saved”? You don’t hear very much about it now. At the time, it was used as an empirical measure of job growth during his Presidency. I only mention it here, since over the past several months the former President has inserted himself into the conversation surrounding the Trump economy, as somehow being a continuation of…

King vs. Kaepernick: Classic Civil Rights versus Black Lives Matter (Part 2)

King vs. Kaepernick: Classic Civil Rights versus Black Lives Matter (Part 2)

Click here for part 1

One of the major contrasting issues is always to make plain or clear the purpose of protest or direct action. Dr. King had a plan to bring opposing sides to the negotiating table. It is clear to us who they were in Birmingham. Who are the opposing sides in today’s “struggle”? And what are we trying to negotiate? What is our goal?

Dr. King spoke earnestly against unjust…

King vs. Kaepernick: Classic Civil Rights versus Black Lives Matter (Part 1)

Recently I sat down to reread the classic “Letter from a Birmingham Jail.” It was awe-inspiring and eye-opening to, again, call to remembrance Dr. King’s compelling defense and strategy during the early Civil Rights movement against the backdrop of criticism from his detractors. It is a strategy, I might add, which truly stands in stark contrast to more recent protests like Colin Kaepernick’s…

Real education cannot be measured in dollars $pent.

Real education cannot be measured in dollars $pent.

It occurred to me recently as I read an article by Cole Lauterbach of the Center Square entitled “Illinois education officials hint at funding shortages, need for more revenue above increased spending,” that increased spending does not mean we’ll get better results in education.

There is an assumption that if we spend more money, we’ll get a better outcome. This thinking affects education at…

The Rise of Young Black Conservatives

The Rise of Young Black Conservatives

This past weekend, I spoke for the second time at the second annual Black Leadership Summit in Washington, D.C., hosted by Turning Point USA. Turning Point was founded in 2012 by then-18-year-old Charlie Kirk. Its website describes its goal as seeking “to identify, educate, train, and organize students to promote the principles of freedom, free markets, and limited government.”

In addition to…

Democrats, Muslims, and anti-Semitism

That the Trump administration has been a staunch friend of Israel and the Jewish people is beyond dispute.  This week marked the one-year anniversary of Trump doing what every president for the last 40 years has said he would do but didn’t.  Last year, Trump recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and relocated the U.S embassy there.  The Israelis marked the anniversary with a formal…
