A MUST READ

TriceEdneyWireService—Each year, most of us make a list of things we plan to do in the coming year.  Most of us really intend to do what we plan, but, unfortunately, most quit within a few weeks.  Let’s make this New Year different. My suggestion is doable.  Please read Howard Zinn’s book, A People’s History of […]

SCROOGED!!!

TriceEdney — One of my favorite Christmas past-times is looking through my television content guide, finding a scheduled airing of A Christmas Carol and tuning in to watch.  I don’t know how many iterations of this movie classic have been made, but I’ve viewed multiple versions made from the 1930’s to the recent past.  It […]

First Legally Sanctioned Racial Discrimination Case in the U.S. in the 21st Century

Rare is the case when conservatives and liberals, from Dr. Ben Carson to Reverend Jesse Jackson, and from Breitbart News to The Afro American Newspapers, join voices with leaders of over 500 faith-based organizations to bring to light institutionalized racial discrimination in the U.S. Even rarer is the case when U.S. lawmakers from both Chambers […]

STEP-BY-STEP

TriceEdney —  Anyone old enough to remember “The Three Stooges” may also remember one of their most famous skits, “Niagara Falls.”  In this bit, each time Moe heard the words ‘Niagara Falls’ he approached Curly saying, “Slowly I turned, step-by-step, inch-by-inch.” He then viciously assaulted Curly.  If you appreciate physical comedy, it’s a funny, dated […]

#45 HATES WOMEN

Washington, DC –– #45 hates women!  It probably was not necessary for me to say that, but if you didn’t already know it, we now know that #45 hates women—and he’s off the chart in his hatred of women of color.  Never mind that Black women have been acknowledged as the best educated in our […]
