COVID-19 and Useful Pawns – Religion and Politics
Here’s my message to those of you who drop bombshells without consideration of the truth. Maybe, just maybe you should consider being skeptical, and taking a little more time to do research before posting things that may well result in pandemonium as they make their way through the “social-media-sphere.”

Black on Black Crime – Religion and Politics
There are issues in every walk of life and interaction type. That’s not bound to change. It’s all about the numbers. That’s where the problem exists. More people die of violent black on black crime by far, than die in police violence of any type. That is why people talk about black on black crime.

Questionalble Judgement – Religion and Politics
Final thought? Protesting is literally Constitutionally guaranteed. That doesn’t mean every instance of it is anywhere near reasonable. In the instance this was “modeled after,” I submit it was not.
