2 Men In Black and White: An Honest Conversation

The long list of performers for the Freedom Concert 250 seemed long and filled with Black performers. It seemed odd. But then one by one they started dropping out having been invited to a 'non-partisan" event, but coming to realize this was yet another Doanlad Trump narcissism festival. Sure, they should have known. In fact, they must live in a bubble not to know. But in the end, the performers ar...

Mark is feeling a dramatic shift in the Black community following the Supreme Court election rules and subsequent gerrymandering in the South. The Head of the NAACP is calling for young black athletes to boycott universities in Southern states.

The Mad King told us Don Jr's wedding was at an inconvenient time for him, but got immediate backlash on social media and even in right wing circles. he looked like a bad father not wanting to attend a major event in his family.

However, as the leader of an organization with 75% Black players, the decision to be overtly MAGA is...

Aloha Tulsi! Our Russian asset sitting atop the robust American intelligence apparatus. But even her somewhat abrupt resignation will not alter the state of play. Our former Allies no longer trust America. They will not share intelligence with us and who can blame them. The Trump=led United States is unreliable and predatory. The Five Eyes have been abolished. No other country, except Israel, can...

The sheer volumes of trades is astounding. The dollar value of illicit gains unknown until we get an audit...some day. But Trump is operating in the Oval Office like a hedge fund manager front running policy announcements and military engagements. He is basically trading ahead of the most impactful information possible and using U.S, policy as a trading advantage. The funny part is that the loser...

Trump will just keep going until someone stops him. First, he accepted illegal gifts from foreign entities, Then, he sold mem coins. Then a crypto fund. Then he sold pardons. All violations to the emoluments clause or outright Corruption. But the fake $1.8 billion "settlement" with the SEC has to be a bridge too far for the American people. A reparations slush fund for January 6th rioters? That is...

As Trump and his crew of billionaires are focused on self-serving dealmaking, China is hardball negotiating on important geopolitical topics. With only dollar signs driving American interests, Trump's corruption takes center stage and the American people are left out of the picture. Why exactly are 10 billionaire CEOs taking center stage at such a critical series of international relations meeting...

Democratic candidates are out running in primaries or prepping for the Midterms with a way toos soft and safe message. There is a lot of commentary on the easy topics where everyone is on board. The easy applause lines: Data centers, AI, the Economy anti-AIPAC and the Iran War. These topics are easy pickings, but not the crux of the matter. What happened to Abolish ICE? or codifying women's right...

mark and brock discuss...Republican lawmakers in Tennessee enacted a new U.S. House map Thursday that carves up a majority-Black district in Memphis, reshaping it to the GOP’s advantage.

The Supreme Court decision on the Voting rights Act lays bare America's systematic racism for all to see. There is no more hiding behind feigned ignorance, although MAGA messaging that "we took away your rights because Racism is no longer an issue" is wordsmithing genius. Basically we are going to screw you over and gaslight you at the same time. So with the Racism so bold and institutional in nat...

Trump and his "Advisors" have put themselves in a box and don't seem to know how to get out. In the meantime, U.S. Consumers are getting crushed by prices at the pump and now another spike in grocery prices. The MAGA team is not great at problem-solving so we are not optimistic about what comes next. All the while, Project 2025 continues the assault on women's bodily autonomy. Finally, we discuss...

Brock and Mark discuss Trump's accelerating dementia and psychopathy as he rants at Chinese and Indian-Americans overnight and falls asleep in the Oval Office by day.

Trumps ridiculous war is the topic for Mark and Brock's discussion.

The pair also laments t...

But the...
