CHRISTIANS: LET’S GET INTO THE SAME PAGES!

      There is an adage which many have seemed to have forgotten in our modern age: “Dance with the one who brung ya!”  In short—be loyal to those upright things in your life that have helped to make you stronger in your walk with Christ.  This is true of certain people and—yes—one certain version of the Bible, the good ‘ol KJV of 1611.

      The late Jack Chick, through his ‘Chick Tracts’ was a major inspiration to me during my formative years as a Chri

THE BLACK STAKE IN DAVOS

      Back in the 1990s, there was a rather cute toon by the name of “Pinky and the Brain”.  Pinky was the dumb rodent; the Brain was super smart.  The running tag (or gag) line for the series floated this way: “Gee Brain, what do you want to do tonight?”  “The same every night, Pinky…try to take over the world!”

      I thought of that toon while watching an interesting gathering earlier in 2023.  In case you may have tuned in late, another annual edition of the Davos sh

LET’S HEED OUR MENTORS

      It seems that every time we read about a teen or young adult involved in a horrific crime, one of the first things that ‘leaps’ out of his/her background is the fact that he/she was the product of a broken—or single parent—home.  What the ‘mainstream mess’ and social media bytes leaves out is how many times this teen/young adult hoodlum (ie gang banger or thuggette) received good advice from a trusted relative, teacher, friend or mentor and STILL decided that they wa

That was the ultimatum Netanyahu gave to the Palestinians of Gaza. And President Biden, by giving him unrestricted support, was saying, “We will give you enough bombs to make sure you do it”. Netanyahu and Biden have lived up to their threats as thousands of innocent Palestinians men, women and children have been killed.

Can you imagine a bomb falling on your home that you have worked so hard to obtain? No homeowners insurance will ever replace it. Can you imagine your wife and kids buried under

RAMEY’S THANKSGIVING SESSION

      A few months back, I wrote a piece entitled “Be Ye Thankful”.  With the coming of the Thanksgiving season, I wanted to continue that thought.  To the younger generation, a quick historical note from a Certified Old Guy.  There USED to be a song that many of us regularly sung back in the day: “Count your blessings; count them one by one.  Count your blessings and see what the Lord has done.”  Blessings are different from entitlements.  One may feel ‘entitled’ to

WILLIAM LYNCH VS. OSAMA BIN LADEN

      I happened to be checking out the national news one evening, when I heard an item concerning a letter written to America in 2002 by of all people—the late Osama Bin Laden.  His letter reminded me of a letter written to America hundreds of years ago by the late William Lynch.  The ‘uproar’ over the Bin Laden letter made me laugh because a generation of Caucasian youth are supposedly swallowing the ‘lies’ contained in the Bin Laden letter as ‘truth’—and olde

A DANGEROUS SOCIAL TREND: THE BLACK WEDDING BAND

      It ranks right up there with a woman asking the ‘steady’ man in her life to marry her—I’m going to broach the subject of the solid black wedding band, or, the wedding band with a majority of black trim clearly visible to the public.  I don’t know who started this ‘social trend’ but there is danger written all over it.

      I recently ran into a young man who displayed such a band while we were at my local barber shop.  I saw his black weddin

Because of the Netanyahu-Biden genocide against the innocent people of Gaza, Vice-president  Kamala Harris, you should resign. So far, this genocide has killed over 8,000 innocent Palestinians. Over 3,000 have been children, but there is probably much more lying dead under the rubble of Israeli bombs. Much more will die from not just the incessant bombings, but also from the Israeli blockade of water, electricity, fuel, medical supplies, food and more. Make no mistake, these conditions Palestini

REAL MEN VS. THE FEMINIZED FRONT

      Lately, I’ve been having a great time re-discovering classic westerns starring the legendary Randolph Scott—an actor who, in my opinion, has been very underrated in the western genre. 

      A great example of his work comes from the flick “Decision at Sundown”—a western with plot twists a-plenty.  Towards the end of the flick, Scott’s character—after the townspeople have begun celebrating the ridding of the town of the chief bad guy—makes this startling sta

Hamas has about two hundred hostages. Netanyahu has hostages too, over two million, the entire population of Gaza.

Netanyahu has blocked water, fuel and electricity from Gaza. Not only the Palestinians, but the Israeli hostages will be affected. These hostages cannot survive without, water, medicines, hospital access. Without these, they are bound to die. In addition, it is significant that Netanyahu has made no attempt to negotiate the release of the hostages. Under these conditions, the Israeli

GEN Z--IT’S ALL ABOUT APPLICATION!

       One may have the best books and videos supplied to them.  They may have taken the best of classes and earned so many degrees that one could put the word ‘Fahrenheit’ at the end of their name.  However, unless one makes the effort to apply what they have learned to the problems at hand, their efforts—and talk—will be useless.

      The same thing may be said about the KJV Bible.  A Christian may know the names of every bible book. However, until one applie

….. Commends Central Working Committee CWC

The Commissioner for chieftaincy affairs, in Rivers State, Hon. Charles Amadi, has commended the central working committee on its detailed and satisfactory preparations for the transition of his Serene Majesty, King Prof. TJT Princewill, JP, CON, Amachree Xi, Amanyanabo of Kalabari Kingdom.

Speaking at the inauguration of the budget screening and monitoring committee by the Chairman and co chairman of the central working committee at the Hotel Presidenti

FORGETTING THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE BEHIND

     One of the sinister, hidden dangers of social media is the seeming avalanche of reminders of our past failures: failed relationships; failed marriages, failed business ventures and other such items that belong buried in a grave marked ‘forgotten’. 

     One cannot make true forward progress IF one continues to wallow in their past.

     Social media may have been ‘only’ designed for young people (they are the most impressionable and highest users) but s

COACH PRIME: THAT SPIRITUAL SPARK!

      I wanted to put in my .02 on the continuing adventures—and critics—of Coach Prime.  I will be doing so, though, from a historical viewpoint that many have overlooked—and I will be more than happy to lay out.

      I find it highly amazing—but not shocking—that Coach Prime (aka Deion Sanders for those who have been hiding under a rock during his twin careers in football and baseball) has been named the Head Coach of the Colorado Buffaloes.  I also am NOT sh

......Seeks inclusion in burial committee

The Ijaw National Congress, INC has described the late King and former member of the Council of Ijaw Traditional Rulers and Elders - CITRE as a RARE GEM and an inspiration to countless many.

President of INC Worldwide, Prof. Benjamin Ogale Okaba, who was represented by the Chairman of Eastern Zone of INC, His Royal Majesty, King NLA Iraron, Ede Obolo II, who were the latest in a series of groups to pay condolences, led the five-man delegation on the cond

Hamas brutally killed thirteen hundred innocent Israelis. Israel’s obvious revenge is to kill as many thousands of innocent Palestinians by bombing, shooting, deprivation of electricity, food, water, medicines and any other fatal means. The UN agrees that these are war crimes. For this killing of thousands of innocent Palestinians, there has been an eerie silence from the US and the mighty European nations. The silence is deafening.  This silence gives the green light to Israel to continue killi

TO THE BITTER END

      In the movie Rocky IV, the beginning of the final round of the fight, Russian boxer Ivan Drago—having learned respect for Rocky Balboa throughout the match—told Rocky: “To the bitter end.”  Remember this line when you see the ground operations begin in the Gaza Strip as the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) begin their physical push into that area to deal with Hamas once and for all.  With the carnage caused by Hamas—along with their supporting enablers and money bag men—they h

Hamas has committed some heinous crimes on Israel.  They have killed over thirteen hundred innocent men, women and children.  Israel is in the process of taking revenge. . This is understandable but revenge is one of the worst reactions in our society. Hamas deliberately  killed almost thirteen hundred innocent Israelis and Israel’s revenge will be to deliberately kill thousands of innocent Palestinians. Killing innocent people is never justified!  Justice is not served by killing innocent peopl
