BE IN THE WAY

     Of course, we now have a battle between employers and employees about whether to physically return to the office or shop on Mondays.  Before I dig into this, let me unpack a few things.  First, the title of this column refers to a tradition among Pastors and up-and-coming preachers in their churches.  Old Pastors would make their selection of younger ministers for preaching and ministry assignments based upon those who ‘showed up’ for pastoral training and church functions.  A

KIGALI, RWANDA, June 19, 2023 – The Basketball Africa League (BAL) and the Rwanda Development Board (RDB) today announced a 5 year extension of their existing collaboration that will see the BAL continue to play games at BK Arena in Kigali, Rwanda each season, including the BAL Playoffs and Finals in 2024, 2026 and 2028.  The BAL and RDB will also collaborate on youth development and social

THE BLESSINGS OF CANCEL CULTURE

      A few years back, a Pastor whom I knew had made a statement—which has since become a favorite of mine—attributed to him.  His statement?  “Sometimes, you have to let folk DIE!”  In other words, you can warn people, advise people, and hold the hands of people to keep them from doing low down and dirty things.  However, people will make their own choices—often against the wisdom of others around them.  No matter how much it may hurt you, we must allow people t

Baltimore mayor Brandon Scott is doing an excellent job. However,  he gets very little credit and must endure all sorts of undeserved criticism. This is not unusual and is a problem that most black politicians must put up with.  The unwarranted criticism of good politicians is becoming a problem that is threatening our Democracy. The most dangerous critics are rich and powerful, who are frustrated by politicians who refuse to do their bidding. They will use every dirty trick in the book to eithe

AIN’T IT FUNNY THAT…PART 2

      Got a LOT of great responses to the first part of this set.  I wanted to keep it rolling with some of the ‘clips’ from the cutting room floor.  Just remember, to start off each graph with ‘Ain’t It Funny That…

Bahati, a Kenyan gospel music artist as well as songwriter whose real name is Kevin Kioko, born in 1989 in Nairobi, Kenya, came to limelight first when he released his debut album, “Mwanzo,” in 2010. Following this, Bahati has released hit singles and albums that have earned him international recognition and millions of fans across the African continent. One of such current recognition is his ambassadorial deal with the Dubai Department of International Trade (DET).

In this interview, Bahati unve

War! War! War! America has launched more wars and invasions than any other country by far. The overlooked victims of these wars are the American soldiers. They have been sent to fight in wars in Viet Nam, Iraq and Afghanistan as well as invasions all over the world. They have been sent to occupy  750 US military bases in 80 countries all over the world. The justification for this is basically for the defense of America from the threat of other countries.

Viet Nam was no threat to America. Iraq wa

TOXIC LIES AGAINST MANHOOD—PART 3

      One of the overriding themes of this series is that the mainstream mess—including social media—makes its bones putting forth bad news.  Good or uplifting news is not valued by those who oversee editing and putting forth the ‘agenda items for the day’.  Instead of informing the public (as American media outlets ‘used’ to be about) the media is all about indoctrinating the public to support their agenda—not yours.

      And, because of the money—their support

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

AIN’T IT FUNNY THAT…PART 1

      Since the truth is the best defense in all things, I just wanted to have some fun with this month’s column by examining how the truth has surfaced from underneath a lot of lies and propaganda concerning social issues.  Just plug in the phrase “Ain’t It Funny That…” before each of my observations to get the full effect:

      *…some of the same cities that boldly closed churches during the pandemic (in violation of the first amendment clause on freedom of religion)

THE TOXIC LIES AND DECEPTIONS AGAINST MANHOOD—PART 1

     Let me throw in a few of the toxic lies against manhood that the mainstream mess and social media, along with Madison Avenue and American “W.O.K.E” Corporations are trying to throw into the mainstream from their satanic bag of tricks:

     LIE:  A man can get pregnant.  TRUTH:  NO!

     LIE:  A man can have a menstrual period.  TRUTH: NO!

     LIE:  A man can ‘reimagine’ himself into a woman.  TRUTH:  NO!

     But wait, there are MORE ‘toxic’

Dubai’s Department for Economy and Tourism (DET) has in the past few years made deliberate efforts to ensure Dubai echoes in the ears of Africans around the world. Strategies like on the ground ‘Road Shows’ in Africa, Media and Stakeholder FAM Trips to Dubai, Celebrity campaigns and general publicity, have boosted the global awareness of the Dubai brand, and place them as second to none in hospitality.

A key success of Dubai’s awareness strategies can be measured by the impressive ratings the Mi

DON’T LET THEIR AGENDA—BECOME YOUR AGENDA

      In one of my recent columns, I discreetly pointed out that the job of the mainstream mess and social media is to elevate bad news and push good news off to the side.  Thus, when you go through the headlines of the day on your electronic device, expect the bad news and adjust yourself accordingly meaning that one does NOT have to let the bad news ‘creep in’ and be a part of their mental make-up.

      Can we be honest?  The WOKE (Weirdly Obsessing Ko

TIPPED--AND BLESSED: THE BOTTOM LINE

     I happened to read about the following tipping horror story recently.

      A rather large party came to a restaurant for dinner.  Two waitresses handled all their details and saw to their needs.  Once the large check came, the party paid up—and left a hefty (and I do mean hefty) tip for the two waitresses.  Of course, one would think that this matter ended here—but it didn’t.  The other waitresses complained to the manager.  The manager demanded that th

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.
