Politically Active Companies, Why?
July 04, 2019 03:30 - 1 hour - 54.7 MBMany conservatives have the same question why a company or celeb that leans left enters the world of political opinion, why? But never ask the same question of companies that seem to share our value or agree with our positions. So companies "spin the wheel." Let me know where you heard the show.

July 03, 2019 04:30 - 21 minutes - 18.7 MBThe Trunp Administration has given up he attle to ask is the person filling out the 2020 Census form is a US citizen.

The long term planis is increasing the number of congresional districts in more progressive areas. It in't voting ut he next bet thing
Democrat Debate, didn't Watch it. don't care about, and neither should you!
June 29, 2019 13:30 - 46 minutes - 41.3 MBI did not watch the so-called Democrat Presidential debate this week. There was little chance to I would tune in. It was like watching a trailer of a movie and not being interested in the movie. I had watched all of the trailers and could see no good reason to waste my time on the movie. As it turned out I was right in protecting my time.

June 26, 2019 04:30 - 37 minutes - 33 MBThe longer thiese political battles go on the worse the left gets.

Student Loan Forgiveness Is Just Reparations For White People
June 25, 2019 04:00 - 41 minutes - 37.1 MBIf any one believes that this is not just a political move to put Rpublicans in an awkward place in or the 2020 elections you are more naive than I thought. Forgiving 1.6 trillion dollars of oans y raiding Wall Sreet is a silly premise but fits the Roin Hood narratuve that the let is trying to push. Take from the people that chose smart majors and give to the people that chose Womyn's Studies with a minor in 18th Century English Poetry. It is a givaway just like the reparation talk. Don't...

Why We Can't Have Nice Things!
June 15, 2019 03:33 - 44 minutes - 40.1 MBSome of you might heard that not every Black conservative is a rousing fan of Candace Owens. But what you don't know is that Candace Owens has superfans. That is, people that scour the internet looking for anything that might be a negative comment about Owens. I like others are grateful for the work that Owens has done during her time in the spotlight. The problem some of us have is that she could do more if she partnered with some Black Conservatives that have ploughed the field already. ...
Summer Time Is Here - What I Hate About Teachers
June 08, 2019 02:30 - 1 hour - 55.1 MBWow, I am sure I got with the title of they program. I have been accused of using a FaceBook group I was invited into a the basis for my political stance. It is too much for me to ask anyone to wade back through 2500 episodes to divine my true feeling, thoughts and opinions on teachers and the education system. I have a fairly unpopular opinion but if were to wade through those 2500 plus episodes that is exactly what you would find out. But you will ind out that I live outside of whatever is ...
Black Genocide
June 07, 2019 16:00 - 45 minutes - 40.4 MB@gritz_n_gunpowa on Instagram is an anomily, a black voice that refuses to buy into the current media culture. Keith, ( his real name) speaks out against the culture of eath that the left is nw openly supporting. Today we talk about Planned Parenthood and their assualt on Black America. We also try to figure out why so many Black women feel the need to continue to throw in their lot with their oppressors.

June 05, 2019 14:00 - 46 minutes - 41.3 MBWe are moving into the 2020 election season and the political left has ramped up their campaign to convince Black Americans they still love us and we still need them. The poliical right continues to burytheir collective heads in the sand about the realities face so many Black Americans. Both parties trot out tokens to persaude Black people to get onboard. Today more and more Black people have decided that there is and naver has been a political solution for ails Black America. Black America...

Is Impeachment of Trump Really Going To Happen?
June 04, 2019 02:38 - 45 minutes - 41.2 MBAs we wade into the 2020 election season the big question on most of our minds is, are the Democrats going to file to impeach President Trump? As you know some of the Freshmen class of reps were elected on their vow to impeach Trump. Both Nancy Pelosi and Maxine Waters have waffled on the impeachment thing. Waters seems ready to get the trial started while Adam Shiff is putting on the brakes. What will Pelosi do? This will take her stamp of approval to go through at this point. Can the De...
How Is It Possible For Young Black Women To Support Planned Parenthood
May 27, 2019 05:39 - 46 minutes - 41.4 MBIt never amazes me how people will attach themselves to people, parties, an organizations that mean them harm. People, parties and orginations that do not now nor have they ever had their best intetrest at heart. Today I want to talk a little about planned parenthood and some of the support I see coming from young Black women. The use of Black clergy and Black educators to push the Negro Project have now been replaced by Black politicains and celebrities.
Rethinking Education In America
May 22, 2019 04:00 - 46 minutes - 41.2 MBThere is little discussion that America's education systems need an overhaul. For decades the only solution was to throw more money. I have yet to see any corelation data corelating teacher pay with high student achievement. Most polls that rate school districts only take into account money spent per student and college entrance. I am not sure that going forward that this is a reliable metric for evaluating how schools are doing. It may be time to give our education system more than a face...
Teacher Salaries Should Be Based On Results
May 20, 2019 04:06 - 46 minutes - 41.2 MBNothing bothers me much more than the mindless narrative of "teachers are uderpaid." The truth is two pronged and the solution is apparent. But is anyone willing to talking about it in an honest way? Heck no! Tribalism at its best going on here!
Focus Is The Key For Conservatives Into 2020
May 18, 2019 02:30 - 46 minutes - 41.3 MBThere is whispering in some of the conservative camp that 2020 seems a lock for the Republican president. But 2016 should teach us the very important lesson that there is no way to really tell what to expect. Now with over 20 Democrats vying for their patry's nomination it is going to be more and more difficult to keep focused. We must decide what the key points of what we are looking for and hold on to them. Every debabe with friends, family and co-workers is a chance to practice staying o...

May 17, 2019 04:30 - 46 minutes - 41.3 MBThis week in Florida: Up to 18,000 students can enroll in the program's first year from families with annual incomes at 300% of federal poverty guidelines. For a family of four, that means those making no more than $77,250. The number of students who can participate could rise in future years.

I'm Still Standing - 11 years and counting
May 13, 2019 04:00 - 53 minutes - 48.4 MBMarch 25th 2008 was the date of my first show here on BLOGTALKRADIO. It has been more than 11 years and I am still here.

It has been quite a learning experience. Doing this show helped me to get a brokered radio program ( that was a hard lesso...

Glad That Some of Y'all Made It To The Party
May 07, 2019 03:30 - 1 hour - 55 MBThere seems to be a lot of people of color ( I hate that term) that are now asking questions about the Democrat party and liberalism in general now. They are all over all of the social media platforms. They are making videos and getting 1000's of subscribers. They are all taking their turn being the "toast of the town." I am not envious, I am just tired. There have been some of us on the front lines for a number of years and have to wonder aloud what took so long, what changed, and why no...
The Return To the Conservative Underground
May 05, 2019 02:00 - 45 minutes - 40.5 MBEvery day we find out that access to and through social media is becoming more and more difficult. All of the major social media outlets are openly hositle to conservatives and conservative views. FaceBook, Twitter, and YouTube have banned, shadow banned, throttled, and demonetized numerous conservative enities in the past 10 years. So it seems that the only way forward at least in the meantime is to take a step back. Technoloicaly speaking. We may have to get back a more direct communicat...
My Interview with Stacy White
April 30, 2019 16:00 - 31 minutes - 27.7 MBA great deal has been said and written about the sales tax increase here in Hillsborough County since it was passed in Novemeber of 2018. Hillsborough County Commissioner Stacy White actually filed a lawsuit to challenge the legality of this measure. This of course created a malstrom in local media and government. Today I sat with commisioner White to let him tall his side of the story as it concerns the measure and his lawsuit.
Swinging Into The 2020 Election Season
April 25, 2019 16:00 - 41 minutes - 36.8 MBHere we go y'all it seems like the furor never dies down. We are in a constant and never ending election season. I wish it wasn't the case but this is the life we live. Today I want to talk about a phrase I always hear and have always worried about.
No Collusion, No Obstruction
April 19, 2019 06:00 - 38 minutes - 34.3 MBWell the report is out and the left and their media reacted pretty like we thought they would." This is NOT ENOUGH! We Need More! AHHHH!!!!!! Well kids I told you before if you don't stop that crying Trump is going to give you something to cry about!
Left Still Talking Impeachment!
April 17, 2019 04:30 - 30 minutes - 27.4 MBYou have to kidding? almost the entire first term of Trump the left has been talking about things that either not happening or not going to happen. They spent almost 3 years talking about collusion that did not happen and today AOC is still bringing up impeachment, which is not going to happen. AOC being primaried is much more likely to happen.
No More Gate Keepers
April 16, 2019 15:30 - 45 minutes - 40.5 MBAfter presenting at a local meetup of creatives I started getting the feeling that there was a resurrection of the gatekeeper through SEO and attached business, combined with so-called best practices that were rebuilding the "wall" that some of us have spent the past 10 years tearing down. Today I want to encourage you to tell the story you have YOUR way. To hell with best practices and SEO Analytics. Do not let either of those things change how and more importantly why, you tell your sto...

The Left Is Gonna Get You More Trump In 2020
April 08, 2019 17:30 - 35 minutes - 31.7 MBThe left is really missing the point. They can not see what the reality of their present is and how it figures into their future. the more they whine about Trump, the more Trump they are going to get. Kinda like, " Stop crying before I give you something to cry about! "
What Should Black Parents Tell Their Children About Racism?
April 05, 2019 05:30 - 55 minutes - 50.1 MBIn 1960 I think the conversation to had was pretty easy, avoid White folks if you could. I don't think that it is that easy in 2019. Improvement in race relations and the nuisance of life make the conversation more difficult. The conversation must start off with talking about the nature of people. This podcast covers the whole of this conversation. I even include a personal story of dealing with overt racism. Whatever platform you hear this podcast please let me know by email [email protected]...
Campaign Finance Reform - Are You Sure?
April 04, 2019 15:00 - 37 minutes - 33.3 MBOne of the hottest topics on the political hot plate is Campaign Finance Reform. Which ever side is getting the asses beat wants to slow down the flow of funds to the other side. Political parties have found that this class warfare is easy to sell to the electorate. Most of you are sold a bad guy and that person becomes the picture of evil as it refers to out of control campaign spending. We must look deeper into this topic to see if we or our neighbors might become the collateral damage of t...
Repeal of Obamacare - Trump's biggest Failure
April 03, 2019 15:00 - 28 minutes - 24.9 MBPresident Trump may have over-estimated his deal-making talents when it comes to political ideologues. In most business deals both sides understand that they will not get everything they want from the outset. In the political game when dealing with the virulent left, full victory is the only thing, with the destruction of your enemy. Trump may not have taken this into consideration when he stepped into the Oval Office. Because on 2 very large pieces of his over-arching agenda he has failed. T...
Chicago Elects New Mayor, But Not That new
April 03, 2019 04:30 - 30 minutes - 27.5 MBIt wasn't as much what box Chicago voters checked off but the number of boxes that Lori Lightfoot checked off with Chicago voters. Female - Check, Black - Check, Democrat - Check, Lesbian - Check! Lori Lightfoot is the crossroad of the oppressed and now she is the Mayor of the nation's 3rd largest city.
Obamacare Repeal and other pipe dreams
April 01, 2019 06:30 - 33 minutes - 29.4 MBThis is yet another miscalculation made by President Trump. He waited too long to get Obamacare repealed. Under the best conditions, it was going to be tough to get enough Republicans to go along with him and now, It will be impossible. It isn't that the American public like the ACA more than they did before they just hate change more than anything. So talk of replacing is causing them to avoid the pain of change.
Jim Crow Is Alive and Living at Harvard
April 01, 2019 04:00 - 31 minutes - 28 MBIt has taken 50 plus years but students are calling for segregation again on college campuses. Jim Crow was dead and now is being revived by White Progressives.
Besty Devos and the Special Olympics
March 30, 2019 05:00 - 30 minutes - 27.1 MBI agree that the DOE should not be funding the Special Olympics. But I also think that it is perfectly alright for the DOE to fund 18 million dollars of the Special Olympics budget. Special Olympics are amazing! The athletes, parent, volunteers, and organizers are awesome! I love it! Special Olympics have nothing to do with education or the mission of the DOE. So, Betsy Devos was correct and so was Trump.
The Electoral College A great Picture of The Nation
March 29, 2019 03:30 - 30 minutes - 26.7 MBSo much talk about the electoal college and how it is outdated. As you will see in the podcast the electoal college is more neeed than ever as a way to represent the diverse nature of the country. So many diverse concerns from coast to coast require a system that allows all of its citizens be heard in the most important elections not just those that live in major cities. There have only been 5 times when the EC was different than the popular vote, not eactly perfect but beinfg representat...
Trump Base Energized Going To be Problem For Dems in 2020
March 26, 2019 14:30 - 30 minutes - 27.4 MBI am just telling you it doesn't matter that particulars in the Mueller report. The Trump base is taking a victory lap and they are waiting to take another one in Novmeber of 2020. The Trump supporter doesn't care that Trump is not perfect. The Trump supporter doesn't care about Trump University. The Trump supporter doesn't care about the bankrupcies. The Trump supporter doesn't care about Stormy Daniels. The Trump supporter doesn't care about claims of racism. So any of the ot...
The Mueller Report - What Happens Now?
March 25, 2019 04:30 - 46 minutes - 41.6 MBThe Mueller Report is out and President Trump is still your president. The report after $30 million dollars has not uncovered any collusion between the Trump Campaign and any Russian government official. Trumpsters are walking around like Muarry has just said: " You are NOT the father!" The left is like the girl that cries and runs off stage, screaming no!!! The coming week is going to be an interesting one watching the media re-group. Because they are never going to make the switch to reall...
H.J.Res. 7: Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States
March 21, 2019 03:30 - 44 minutes - 39.6 MBH.J.Res. 7: Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to abolish the electoral college and to provide for the direct election of the President and Vice President of the United States. Is this a good idea? Does this ask and answer the question of do we live in a democracy or a Representative Republic?
The Abdication of Parental Responsibilities
March 19, 2019 14:30 - 44 minutes - 40.2 MBThis thought that has bothered for a long time that comes from a great number of my friends on the right side of the political spectrum that everything needs to be taught in school. ( Like somehow they remember or misremember learning these things in school).I am of the mind that the most important things in a society must be passed from parent to child inside the confines of the family structure. The Four we will talk about today are: 1. Return prayer to school 2. Teach Civics 3. Teac...
What I Think The Democrats Are Planning
March 19, 2019 02:30 - 45 minutes - 41.1 MBThere are 14 Democrats running for the Democrat nomination for President of the United States. I don't think we are done hearing from those that are going to throw their hat into the ring. It took me a while as I thought about why so many people. I thought it couldn't all be just vanity. Ther had to be a strategy to all of this. One thing I must say about the left is that the never act without a plan. Any there has to be a plan in all of this.
Your Guy Bad. My Guy Good.
March 15, 2019 20:30 - 30 minutes - 26.8 MBOh my goodness. I can hardly believe what I am seeing today. Republican members of the Senate standing up to President Trump's Declaration of a National Emergency. And you would have thought they had all kissed Jane Fonda on the mouth at the Lincoln Mounument.I think ome of us are missing the point here. I warned of the danger of hero worship and the power of Presiential personality years ago and here is it in full bloom.
Raise The Voting Age To 25 Years Old!
March 09, 2019 05:00 - 44 minutes - 40 MBDemocratic U.S. Rep. Ayanna Pressley (Mass.) introduced legislation Wednesday to lower the federal election voting age from 18 to 16. I submit we do something else, I submit we RAISE the voting age for Congress to 25 and for the president to 30 years old. I am sure some of you think that voting is a dog and pony show and none of it matters but, I would like to have this iscussion while someone is talking about voting and voting age.
Miss Millie Has Always Been The Danger
March 04, 2019 04:00 - 44 minutes - 39.6 MBI fear that I would use these examples and oversimplified these complex matters, but I am of the mind that the social system in America has played some "slight of hand" with the "enemy" of "people of color." Please give what I am saying a bit to settle in your tummy before you discount then out of hand.
Is the Left Doing Something For Republicans?
February 21, 2019 05:00 - 45 minutes - 40.4 MBIn all the time I have been paying attention to the god-awful messaging from Republicans and the right, in general, this cycle is different. The left in its effort to oust Donald Trump have given Republicans a present they have never been able to give themselves. Let's talk about it!
