IT MUST BE MORALITY OVER MONEY!

      It’s not enough for a society to get God’s blessing but to be obedient unto him IN the blessing.

      Now that the ‘great’ election of 2024 is in our rear view mirrors, and Donald J. Trump will return to the White House in historic fashion as the 47^th President of the United States.  The ‘wizards of smart’ are singing a different tune.  Seems that the money is flowing, and the smiles are growing.  The enemies that were on the outside of ‘Trump land’ are form

TWO SAYINGS AND TWO SINS

      Of the quotes I have been blessed to have collected over the years, these two have impact on this month’s column.  They come from two different eras but are pretty much on the same side of the same coin.  The first saying comes from one of my heroes, Booker T. Washington.  Here is his quote: “A whining, crying race may be pitied…but seldom respected.”

        Let me break this first saying down as it reflects upon our race in these last days.  While many of our youn

SOME NEW DEFINITIONS FOR OUR TIMES

      I got a good chuckle over the recent double announcement by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters National Union.  On the one hand, for the first time since 1996, the Teamsters will NOT be endorsing a candidate for President in this 2024 election cycle.  The other half of the announcement could be seen as a major disaster for the Democrats, as the rank-and-file—by a 60 to 31 percent margin—said that they would be voting for Donald Trump this fall.

A SUCCESS PRIMER FOR YOUNG BLACK MEN, PART 10

     I am writing this column during the political season.  Politics is something that should interest a young Black man because of the stakes that are involved.  Further, it is wise that you begin to understand the political process of this nation while you are young and of a sober and keen mind.  Black folk helped to build this country and are owed a debt FROM this country in the way of reparations.  Thus, I would advise any young Black man to know

HEY KAMALA—WHERE’S THE POLICY, BABY?

          Just wanted to throw this into the mix: The second member of ‘The Squad’ this year LOST their seat in Congress.  They were ‘primaried out’ by more moderate Democrats.  The first member of ‘The Squad’ that fell a few months ago was Jamaal Bowman out of New York.  Cori Bush of Missouri lost her congressional seat the other night.  There could be more ‘casualties’ in the primary process, as folks are getting tired of high food, rent, gas, and unemplo

WHITE DEMOCRATS VS. KAMALA HARRIS: FEAR OF A BLACK PRESIDENT?

      As I mentioned in my last power-packed, cliffhanger of a column about Vice President Kamala Harris, I noted that our politics are miles apart.  However, I did note that the Democratic party—you know, the party that ‘claims’ to support Black people and racial justice—did not have the right to push the Vice President out of the White House because of her skin color.  Now, some three to six months later, the SAME party that worship

WHEN DEMOCRATS RUN INTO THE CHURCH

      During my ‘active’ years as a Minister, one of the complaints that I most often heard coming from congregation members of various churches in the Black Community was the following: “I can’t get ahold of my Pastor.”  I never really had a good explanation as to why this was so until I checked out the local political news over the past few years.

      Seems that Democrat office holders have little problem getting ahold of a Pastor—or a congregation—on a Sun

THE ‘ROUND IT UP’ RECESSION?

      I stopped by one of my favorite local fast food restaurants a few weeks back, put in my order and made my way to the pay window.  The employee on the window asked me if I would like to ‘round up’ the price of my purchase to the next highest dollar to ‘help out’ the favorite charity of their fast-food chain.

      I chuckled and said: “Only IF the money goes to the employees.”

      Well, the crew on duty had a good laugh.  I got my correct change, and my order, a

WHERE THEY GONNA GO—NOW?

      Interesting fact that has escaped ‘lifelong, hard-core’ Democrats during our recent social upheavals in Democrat-run cities: “Where are your children and grandchildren going to go in order to get their first job?”  Please allow me to take a brief trip down memory lane to outline what jobs have either disappeared for teens, or—thanks to Black AND White liberals—have gone the way of manual typewriters.

      Time was that a young man (or a young lady) could get a job

THE OBAMA LEGACY UNDER THE BIDEN CLOUD

      You have already heard about the collapse of the Hunter Biden plea deal, and the soon-to-begin Impeachment Inquiry against President Joe Biden because of Bribery (and other) hanky-panky that took place, allegedly, during his tenure as Vice President.  However, the elephant in the room (pardon the pun, since I am a Republican) is what this may do to the legacy of former President Barack Obama.

      Obama has been strangely quiet during this process inv

THE BLACK STAKE IN THE UKRAINE WAR

      Former President Donald Trump did what no other president of our modern era did:  He kept our boys—and money—out of Ukraine, the money laundering capitol of the eastern bloc.  Many on both sides of the political spectrum did not like the fact that on Trump’s watch, the United States managed to roll up an impressive score of major foreign policy victories by eliminating terrorists, keeping dictators in check, the Abraham accords and moving our Embassy to J

LET HIM RISE!

     Contrary to popular opinion, it is NOT the times that defines a man; it is a man who defines the times!  In other words, a real man—especially a real Christian man—does not bow his knee to the whims of society when it comes to righteousness, beliefs, family, and the Word of God.  A true man under the power of God has the hidden strength to make the times bow to him because he can see the landscape and the type of traps that are laid out to cripple and possibly kill him.

     If you know your KJV Bible, you have a firm grip on what has been happening in America over the last several decades.  We—as a nation—have been and continue to be on a downward slide spiritually and it continues to manifest in tangible ways across every imaginable institution.

      Politics is no exception.  It has become only the latest, tangible example of corruption.

      From a prophetic point of view, Jesus Christ IS soon going to rapture His church home. This comes from several place
