[by Steven Fitzpatrick] It will mean the difference of financial stability or daily stress of making it from paycheck to paycheck. Being smart with your money will allow you to be able to do what you want when you want too.

[ VIEWPOINT| BY JESSIE DUARTE ] Few had not anticipated that the discovery that the kidnapped Israeli youth had been killed inside Palestinian territories would lead a terrible collective punishment of Palestinian civilians. The death of the two kidnapped young people is a sad and frightening reality of the injustice of a war forced upon the people of Israel and Palestine to serve but one objective; the continued illegal occupation of Palestinian land. While we acknowledge that many Israeli fa

New Research from Mercator Advisory Group Resetting Perceptions on Growth of Electronic Payments in Africa    

When companies are looking at regions for overseas investment, Africa generally comes in last in terms of overall attractiveness. On the surface, it is easy to understand the payments industry’s reluctance to invest heavily in Africa. But Africa is a continent filled with potential for e-payments and within the next three to five years, the global payments industry will increasingly look

As it stands now, the GOP will never win another presidential election. 

Let me explain what I mean: 

The American electorate has changed, and with it - so too has the formula to win elections. 

The GOP's goal of turning out their base of older, white voters and winning over independents is no longer sufficient to win presidential elections. 

For too long the GOP has been content with just appealing to white voters. We will never heal America and win consistently until conservatives are just as su

WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE: ADDRESSING VIOLENCE AND APATHY AMONG YOUNG BLACK MALES  “Until we engage children, youth and families are around serious survival and developmental needs we will continue to see senseless acts of violence in communities. Changing the mindset of people in communities is our only alternative to address violence.” ~ David Miller, M.Ed. - Founder of the Dare To Be King Project

CELEBRATING THE HOLIDAYS OF OUR CAPTORS

Today is July 4^th and people are celebrating the Independence of the United States, and that would also include descendants of Slaves.  Ironically, just as Blacks were converted to worship the man-god, JC, the god of the Slavers, they are also encouraged to observe the celebrations such as the Independence Day of the very people who have wreaked havoc and misery in their lives.  Some Blacks are doing very well financially in the US and in other Slave Nation

Waving American flags, the citizens of Murietta, California  turned back buses carrying undocumented immigrants to a center for processing because the centers in Texas was full and in deplorable conditions. The undocumented immigrants were children who had desperately taken a hazardous  journey all the way from Central America and had been detained in Texas under the most deplorable conditions. Transporting them away from there was virtually an act of mercy.

“Not with my tax money” these flag wav

Have you ever felt guilty for saying ‘NO’ to your son when he’s asked for something that he did

I remember the story my husband tells where his ex-wife bought a car for their (teenage) son against his wishes. Son crashed the car by the third week of owning it. What do you say? Mothers say “I’m glad he’s unharmed. What a blessing.” Fathers say “That boy didn’t need a car. He’s too young for the responsibility and he won’t take care of it.” Fathers remember when they were teen boys and are speaking

This weekend our nation celebrates its 238th year of independence, yet freedom is not ringing from every mountainside in our sweet land of liberty.  More than 70 years ago Franklin D. Roosevelt outlined four freedoms that every person in the world ought to enjoy, including some from the very first amendment of the Constitution: freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear.

A new poll, released today by Heart+Mind Strategies, asked Americans if we as a country a

[by Peter Williamson] As an Executive Business Coach and successful business owner, I work with entrepreneurs on a daily basis. Much of what I focus on deals with the 5 levels of the Entrepreneur Ladder as a starting point to help business owners gain a better understanding of the fundamentals that distinguish extraordinary entrepreneurs from just ordinary ones.

While each business owner has traits that are unique, there are certain traits all entrepreneurs must have in order to be successful.
