Look at any major city in this country plagued by violence and drugs and I’ll show you a city devoid of something that has nothing to do with more law enforcement, security and guns. That something that’s missing is hope. You can throw all the money, programs and political promises in the world at the […]
Three signs that the end might be near: 1. Al Roker was actually doing the weather this morning, 2. The Los Angeles Clippers have a better record than the L.A. Lakers and 3. on the topic of lifting the ban of women serving in combat in the U.S. military, I actually agree with conservative former […]
What do many Republicans, the spokesmen for NRA and Tavis Smiley have in common? Once they start down a road, no matter how dangerous or ridiculously wrong it is, they won’t turn back. Tavis’s commentary on CBS News Sunday Morning was both, a tribute to his hero Dr. King and a slam at his nemesis […]
I’m real big on conspiracies so I’m all over the TV show “Scandal.” Who do you think is really the father of the First Lady’s baby? Members of the Text Tom Club have suggested everyone from the Secret Service guy to Huck! The best one was J.’s theory, that the father of the baby was […]
Once again the President is getting flack, this time for not appointing enough people of color to his cabinet. Never mind that he’s not finished yet. I don’t care what color the President’s cabinet is. We’ve got bigger problems to worry about. I just want him to appoint people who can help get this country […]
It’s 2013, and even though it’s been thrown in our faces for the last three weeks, one of us will still write 1-3-12 on a check. It’ s just one of those things that can’t be avoided. And speaking of writing checks and spending money, let’s not get reeled in on any more sales gimmicks. […]
Blessed are the mourners; for they shall be comforted. When I tried to process how and why such horrible tragedies like the Connecticut shooting could happen, someone sent me that scripture. Comfort is a start, but like President Obama said when he addressed the nation Friday with teary eyes, it’s time to take action. Like […]
This is our moment, not just because we won, but the way we won. There’s a lesson in last night’s victory for all of us. If you have a good plan or a good idea or a good dream, you set a goal and keep your eye on the prize. You are not taken off […]
So, what should determine whether a person remains in college or not? Grades? Of course. Conduct? I’m with that. Money? Well that’s a tricky one. Of course it costs lots of money to get a higher education and it’s getting more expensive all the time. Somebody has to pay for it, that’s for certain. But […]
Barely a week goes by without me getting a request to do an interview with mainstream media about something regarding President Barack Obama. It began during the 2008 presidential election and peaked not long after the Big Chief won and the country was entranced with the idea of a post-racial America. This was the concept […]
I’m just a DJ, but I’m warning you that I’m about to preach to my church-going Christians: the ones who are considering NOT going to the polls on election day and to those of you who may have some influence on them. If you weren’t ever planning on voting or if you’ve never supported the […]
During a speech the President made following the Republican National Convention, he mentioned something negative Mitt Romney had said and the crowd, in support of the Big Chief, began to boo. “Don’t boo,” he said…”vote!” And he was absolutely right. Even though the great speeches at the DNC have gotten us fired up and ready […]
