Nury Martinez is but a symptom. What does anyone think we get by living in a society where the powerful preach intersectionality and the inferiority of certain races? **NOTE** - Martinez resigned her leadership position, but not her *seat on the city council.

She was not alone in sharing her sentiments. Two other city councilmen, whose names are Kevin de León and Gil Cedillo, were also making racist comments and agreeing with her on the leaked video. They also have not resigned from their seats.

Nury Martinez did not immediately say she would leave the council.

Credit where credit is due. The issue of abortion properly divides those who recognize human life in the womb from those who don't, NOT religious from secular.

We rejoice for the historic overturning of Roe v Wade. Of course, I will have a lot more to say about it once I have time to sit and write. For now, I will say this decision has been an answer to prayer and a vindication of the deep connection believers have to God Almighty through faith.

After 49 years of prayer, faith, and work, today we know this mountain has moved! Amen and amen. Thank you, Jesus!

Not for the reasons you think.

Roland Fryer Jr.’s life is a movie script: A man abandoned by his mom and raised by an alcoholic dad became the youngest black professor to ever secure tenure at Harvard University. After ascending to the academic elite, Fryer didn’t resign himself to irrelevant technical puzzles; he put

“Today’s violent-crime increase – call it Ferguson Effect 2.0 or the Minneapolis Effect – has come on with a speed and magnitude that make Ferguson 1.0 seem tranquil,” Mac Donald wrote for the City-Journal in 2020. “The rising carnage in the inner city is the consequence of this official repudiation of the criminal-justice system. The current tolerance and justification for vandalism and violence; the silencing of police supporters; and police unwillingness to intervene, even when their own precincts are assaulted – all send a clear message to criminals that society has lost the will to prevent lawlessness.”

Experts blame the defund the police movement on the alarming increase in Black American murder victims.

Though some scholars suggest Missouri-born poet Langston Hughes was more concerned with faith than some of his poems suggest, he seems to have departed from the clearly evangelical faith of America’s earliest black poets: namely, Phillis Wheatley (d. 1784) and Jupiter Hammon (d. 1806).
