Trump Locked, Loaded and Checkmated

17/08/12 at 11.17am / by Michael / 0 Comment

“Locked and loaded!” The United States of America’s military plans for a confrontation with the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is locked and loaded, according to the US president. This description of the United States’ preparedness was uttered by the American president during a press conference on the opioid addiction that is engulfing his country. Instead of a locked and loaded plan to combat the opioid crisis in America, he took aim at a tiny island that has been in a state of ceasefire with the USA since 1953. For all intents and purposes, the DPRK is a nuclear nation-state,

If They Come For Kaepernick…

17/08/11 at 9.58am / by Michael / 2 Comments

Colin Kaepernick is essentially blackballed from the National Football League. Last season, Kaepernick took a knee during the playing of the National Anthem. He did so to bring awareness to the plight of Black people at the hands of law enforcement officers. Kaepernick is an accomplished American football quarterback. He has led his team into the Super Bowl. When his $14.5 million contract with the San Francisco 49ers entered an opt out period following the 2016 season, he elected to opt out of this contract. Actually, the choice was not his, because had he not done so, the 49ers could

A Load of Nonsense By Any Other name…

17/08/10 at 8.31am / by Michael / 0 Comment

Nonsense! “A Load of Nonsense,” that is what the North Korean government’s official position is to the bombastic nonsense spurred out of the mouth of the American President earlier this week. The Americans under the leadership of their fearless ruler and 45th president threatened to unleash, “Fire and furry, the likes of which the world has never seen,” on the Korean peninsula if the Korean President north of the 38th parallel did not stop actively pursuing a nuclear weapons program that could strike targets in the continental United States. So much for the American nonsense couched in a threat. It was

Mueller’s Grand Jury

17/08/04 at 7.35am / by Michael / 2 Comments

Bob Mueller, the special prosecutor looking into the Trump organization and possible connections with the Russian government has set up a grand jury in Washington, District of Columbia. This is an interesting development as a grand jury gives Mueller the ability to subpoena witnesses and documents; and if the evidence warrants it, Mueller has a panel of jurors who he can present his evidence for a determination on the ultimate questions: (1) Did the president or members of his campaign commit a crime or crimes in meeting with Russian officials; (2) Did the Trump campaign collude with Russian to tilt

Elmore Nickelberry 53 Years On a Memphis Garbage Truck

17/07/26 at 6.42pm / by Michael / 0 Comment

In 1964 Elmore Nickelberry was 32 years old. He was the father of five children. He was a hero of sorts, but no one knew it or if they did know it, they gave him no recognition for his sacrifice and service to his country. That year, Nickelberry was discharged from the United States Army, where he had served in the early stages of America’s involvement in Vietnam. His release was bitter sweet. On the one hand he was released from his tour of duty as President Lyndon Johnson was preparing to escalate America’s involvement in Southeast Asia. But now

MVP – A Treasure Trove of Black Baseball Talent

17/07/16 at 11.43am / by Michael / 1 Comment

Mentoring Viable Prospects (MVP) is a treasure trove of Black baseball talent in America. Few college recruiters are aware of MVP. Steve Kletke, Canadian by birth and assistant baseball coach at Indian Hills Community College in Centerville, Iowa is one of them. He knows the value of Black college baseball players to a college program. In July, Kletke traveled from Iowa to Decatur, Georgia to scout Black high school prospects competing in the Mentoring Viable Prospects (MVP) program, a three day baseball showcase organized 15 years ago by a group of Atlanta area coaches who played Black College baseball. The

It’s A Myth Black Kids Do Play Baseball

17/07/15 at 12.52am / by Michael / 9 Comments

Is it a myth, that Black kids are not playing baseball in sufficient numbers to field the rosters of college and professional teams? The MVP program in Decatur, Georgia has been on a 14 year mission to not only disprove this myth, but provide a showcase for urban kids to display their baseball skills. MVP is not an acronym for Most Valuable Player. It actually means, Mentoring Viable Prospects. For nearly a decade and a half, MVP has worked in the shadows of youth league baseball to give first class showcase experiences to inner-city teenagers. They do not expect any

Is Hopkins A Victim of GOP Voter Roll Purge?

17/07/07 at 8.59am / by Michael / 0 Comment

Make no bones about it, Stacey A. Hopkins, has been politically active most of her life. The Brooklyn, New York native with roots in Atlanta, came south several years ago. She has been quite active of late in progressive politics. But a letter she received from state election officials in Georgia may have landed her in the biggest political fight of her life. Georgia like most states run by Republican politicians is focused upon ways to find voter fraud. If they can find enough cases that resemble illegal voter registration they will pounce on them as proof of their theory

Georgia Voter Questions Change of Voter Status

17/07/06 at 5.51am / by Michael / 0 Comment

Stacey A. Hopkins, a registered voter in Fulton County, Georgia is questioning a letter she received from Georgia election officials. The letter states that Hopkins, a member of Georgia’s progressive political action community, will be moved to a list of inactive voters if she does not return a form to the Secretary of States office which requests personal information within 30 days. Additionally, two of Hopkins’ young adult children still living at home received the same notice via the United States Postal Service. Hopkins does not understand why she received this notice from either the Secretary of State of Georgia

All Trump Tweets Are Not Newsworthy

17/07/03 at 6.37pm / by Michael / 2 Comments

This may come as a shock to many in the mainstream news media. I really hate to tell them this obvious fact: All Trump tweets are not newsworthy. Certainly, DJT is the President of the USA, but everything uttered by way of the twitter feed @realDonaldTrump is not worthy to be included in a 24-hour news cycle. For instance, what if DJT tweeted (and he just might do this any day now), the events of his most recent visit to the comfort facilities in the Oval Office. Maybe in the same vein as President Lyndon B. Johnson, who had a penchant for
