Re-membering Memorial Day – Part 2 … War: the Enemy of Peace (05/25/15)

You know, Memorial Day would be a lot more memorable if it didn’t celebrate millions of brutal & needless murders.

Re-membering Memorial Day – Part 3 … Calling to the “Unfallen Dead” (05/25/15)

I realize that Memorial Day is a day typically reserved for honoring those Americans who have physically died in battle, and yet there is another death that takes place in combat that doesn’t require that one’s heart stop beating … Yes, my Friends, there is an emotional death that occurs in battle — a psychological […]

Re-membering Memorial Day – Part 4 … What GOD really wants (05/25/15)

My American Friends, your country has been […]

Seeing who’s Black … (05/22/2020)

In a move that proved to be all-too-fitting (and has since proved to be all-too-common), Joe Biden responded to a sincere plea for assistance from Charlamagne the God (a popular African-American radio personality & author, whose given name is Lenard McKelvey) with snide condescension — interrupting the host and arrogantly quipping: “If you’ve got a […]
