  • The powerful way Aqib Talib is representing Black Americans in the Fox NFL broadcast booth

    For decades, we’ve been trained to believe that live sporting events must be broadcast a certain way. Namely, that they should be called and analyzed by an overwhelmingly white, almost exclusively male cadre of voices. They’re mostly measured, but they dutifully get excited at the “proper” moments. Into this fray has stepped someone who doesn’t look or sound like pretty much anyone else in sports broadcasting booths: Aqib Talib. Talib has been in the booth for two Fox games this season. I covered Talib while he was with the New England Patriots and he was unlike any player who passed...

    There has been a lot of discussion about Pence's role in the upcoming counting of the elector slates. In 1797 there was a single challenge from, as I recall, Georgia, whose electors had filled out the paperwork wrong. John Adams, the veep, stood to become president by not entertaining any objections. But when he came to Georgia, he sat down for a moment. Thomas Jefferson had ordered the Democratic Republicans NOT to contest, and after a moment, Adams resumed the count . . . in his favor. A similar episode happened in 1801 with Jefferson doing the reading and an...

    In a move that reportedly “shocked” Defense Department officials, Acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller ordered Pentagon officials to cancel scheduled meetings with the transition of President-elect Joe Biden. Axios revealed the cancellation of briefings but noted “officials were unsure what prompted Miller’s action” and they could not determine “whether President Trump approved” of the move. A source at the Defense Department claims the move was nothing more than one of trying to limit a busy schedule. ... With this move, however, Miller has reportedly left officials across the department “stunned.” “Miller’s move, which stunned officials throughout the Pentagon, was the...

    Game over. Two women wound up in a knock-down, hair-dragging battle over a PS5 game console at a North Carolina Walmart this week, leaving both apparently bruised and empty-handed. The two women exchanged punches over the hot ticket item at a Walmart in Charlotte on Dec. 13, TMZ reported. Video of their confrontation has since gone viral. A woman with long braids can be seen shouting at another woman with a black hoodie, “What the --–- are you gonna do?” At one point, a man in a motorized scooter and a woman in a red mask try to intervene

  • Georgia Republican Senator candidates need to file suit now!

    The two Republican candidates for the Senate seats in Georgia need to file suit now in every court in Georgia and Federal. They need to file a separate law suit for every issue they can think of such as the 85,000 new registered voters when only voters from the general election are allowed to vote in the runoff. Or the use of drop boxes which are passed the 120 day allowed period. Also, the use of the Dominion Voting System which has been demonstrated to be totally unreliable. Regarding the new registered voters, they need to ask these voters not...

    But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Matthew 1:20-21 (King James Version) The more this election process goes on the more America finds out about the processes of the fraud the more chance President Trump has of finding...
  • Looking for statistics on African-Americans attitudes towards homosexuality.

    So I'm having another one of those debates on homosexuality, this time the issue is the views of African-Americans towards homosexuality. I remember reading some years ago that statically African-Americans hold a more negative view of homosexuality than do whites, a point I decided to raise once the other guy decided to compare the lack of gay "marriage" to slavery or Jim Crow. He pointed out that gallup had stated otherwise, that close to 70% voted to maintain same-sex "marriage" in Nevada recently. I can't remember where I read the original study but I'm just wondering if it is still...

    We have witnessed a horrible year. And many of us recognize some of what is happening around us as propaganda, gaslighting, and out right manipulation. We ponder who and when something will be done. We do not have blinders on and yet do not understand what we witness happening before us. Earlier this morning I read on another thread, Princeton University professor and MSNBC contributor Eddie Glaude, Jr. refer to the moral rot in our society and that President Trump is its avatar. We use the word avatar for many different things in the modern world, but consider the first...

Acts 18:15 The Supreme Court is where these large discussions about this country are supposed to be made. Issues such as abortion and freedom of religion are discussed and determined if in the Constitution of America to give people the ultimate decisions of the future and direction of this country. The discussion now is can this country stay together when you have two opposing directions going two separate ways. One wants to stay...

    Many times we read articles filled with words to describe a situation that can be just as easily summed up in a short phrase. That's where we stand today with the lie that Joe Biden is the President Elect. Well even if they are successful in stealing the election through fraud, he will never be the President elect. That's because he was selected by those who desire the United States to be subservient to the rest of the World. Remember, it was George Herbert Walker Bush who ushered in the New World Order on September 11, 1991. Ten years...

    The Department of Defense has released images of COVID-19 cards – Cards used to keep track of your coronavirus vaccinations. CNN is reporting that the “cards will be used as the ‘simplest’ way to keep track of Covid-19 shots” and that vaccinations will be monitored in state immunization registries. “Everyone will be issued a written card that they can put in their wallet that will tell them what they had and when their next dose is due,” says Kelly Moore, associate director of the Immunization Action Coalition. Patients will be asked to voluntarily give their cell phone number in order...

    The University of Virginia’s Miller Center has announced an oral history project centered around former First Lady Hillary Clinton. The Miller Center describes their Presidential Oral History Program as “a public service endeavor to provide such means and to preserve the true voices of past presidencies for posterity.” While the Center focuses on presidential administrations past, including both Democrats and Republicans, they have stepped out to do oral histories for non-Presidents such as Ted Kennedy and the late Washington attorney, Lloyd Cutler, as well. They find import in Mrs. Clinton, stating there is a “gap” that needs to be addressed...

Thanks."My depression has everything to do with the damage that has been done to this country in the last 4 years.

    Congressman Mike Kelly has brought suit in PA contesting the constitutionality of the changes to PA's election laws. The suit started at the lowest PA state court and was rejected at the PA Supreme Court. Kelly immediately petitioned SCOTUS as a congressman who wants to know what to do when he sits in a joint session of congress as to accepting PA's slate of electors; thus his standing in this is critical at a federal level. A similar case reached Alito last month, but the relief being sought was not granted. This is the case where Alito wanted the late...

    For all the accusations of anti-democratic tendencies that have been leveled at Trump, it’s the policies of his critics that would change the rules of American democracy to give their party a long-term (and perhaps permanent) electoral advantage. Were Biden to give in to the demands of his Democratic Party base, he would become in reality what Trump has only ever been in effigy: an American dictator. Publicly, he still has to campaign to win the Senate. Privately, he must be secretly hoping that his party doesn’t win.

    1 Samuel 17 Now the Philistines gathered together their armies to battle, and were gathered together at Shochoh, which belongeth to Judah, and pitched between Shochoh and Azekah, in Ephesdammim. And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and pitched by the valley of Elah, and set the battle in array against the Philistines. And the Philistines stood on a mountain on the one side, and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them. This is the ultimate David and Goliath; the only difference is there are ten Goliaths and...
