Kevin Samuels says black women will "die alone" for not taking his advice - Is this true?
January 09, 2021 16:50 - 1 hour - 81.7 MBI was watching an interesting video by relationship consultant Kevin Samuels. The term "Women are dying alone" appears to come up a lot on the web these days. I thought I would provide a perspective on the concept of dying alone, all without disparaging the message of Kevin Samuels. At the same time, other points of view should be considered. #KevinSamuels and his #DieAlone videos may be good for online entertainment, but I wanted to also make sure they were taken in the proper context. ...

January 09, 2021 01:55 - 51 minutes - 29.7 MBI know that a large number of black people are loyal supporters of the Democratic Party and consistent haters of Donald Trump. But putting blue/red politics to the side for a second, I think we should reflect on the dangerous precedent being set when Twitter bans the president of the United States from their platform. The reasons for banning Trump appear to be related to the fact that he is being accused of inciting the violence that took place on Capitol Hill. The odd thing, however, is...

You won't believe what Congress put in that horrible stimulus package
December 26, 2020 02:03 - 20 minutes - 11.8 MBCongress really ran a pretty horrible game on the American people with this latest stimulus package. Included in the package are millions of dollars in funding for gender studies in Pakistan, $500 million dollars for Israel and a long list of pork projects that have nothing to do with the pandemic. Oddly, Congress chose to tie the defense spending bill to the Covid relief package, meaning that if you don't support one, you can't support the other. Lastly, I was shocked to find out that l...
