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

OH, THE CLIMATE WARRIORS REMIND ME OF THESE

      It took me a while, but I finally figured out of whom the Climate Warriors (the ‘modern’ name for environmentalists/feminists) remind me.  Let me unpack my illustration in the next few lines.

      A few years back, in my neck of the woods, the social do-gooder coven got our lawmakers to pass an ordinance requiring that dog owners—when they walk their pets—clean up after Fido when they make a solid deposit.  Thus, it makes the dog owner responsibl

TWO FRONT CHECKBOOK WAR IN THE MOTHERLAND

      It had been reported years ago that the late Idi Amin Dada Oumee, leader of Uganda, was a major opponent to having homosexuality starting—or spreading—in his nation.  Currently, there are MORE than a few modern African leaders who have also lined up against the ‘international alphabet mafia’ trying to establish a beachhead in the Motherland.  More on this in a few lines.

First, I list the words “Black and African” in this commentary with a slash because I view these words to be interchangeable. I believe that all Black people are some type of African people, given the evidence, so I don’t debate it.  Next, I am not a professional writer, nor do I plan to be.  There’s already enough Black scholars, writers, professional speakers, etc. What we need are more doers, more problem solvers, more sound-minded strategic leaders.  I try to be one of the Black folks menti

I am drawing this title from an article that I read that I wish to share with you. However, I want to make a few comments before I share the article with you.
One of the things that I find most interesting about how people talk about Africa is that they tend to think that Africa and its people are homogeneous.  While they may share many similarities, they are not exactly homogeneous.  In fact, there are many cultures and subcultures in Africa.  First off Afric

Ah!

By BENJAMIN LEBRAVE

According to a 2012 Gallup International survey about religiosity and atheism, Ghana is one of the most religious countries in the world. At first glance, there is some evidence for this: when you land in Accra, you’ll notice churches everywhere you go. If you look even closer, you’ll see Mormon missionaries on their bikes throughout the country.
