On Reducing Violence In Our Community Intact families, the church and social institutions all play a role in reducing violence in our communities. It has worked before and can again. However, it will take hard work, and no politicians or academics will get rich talking about this fact. This alone ensures we may never actually succeed. What’s Going On? Guest Ricky Sherfield Talks HBCU Background, M...

What’s Going On? Something Wicked This Way Comes? V.P Harris’ economic policy proposal is concerning because it ignores history. She proposed Price Controls to lower inflation. This means the government would tell people who make, produce and build things what they can charge for the goods and services they produce. Price Controls have a 4000 year history of causing food shortages and even famines...

What’s good LBK? We had a great conversation this week with Mr. Reggie Dial, President of 100 Black Men of West Texas and the Founder of EL ROBI, The East Lubbock Resident Owned Business Initiative. We are down 100% with the need to publicize the importance of getting young folks into the skilled trades. College is not for everyone, and skilled trades are just as demanding and perhaps even more in...

Juneteenth (J-19) 2024 Recap Video What’s Going On? Pictures From J-19 2024 Be a Father to your Child Father’s are so important, it’s difficult to put it into words. Robert riffs on how the bedrock of our society is being purposefully weakened and attacked. Fathers are a key part of the structure of our country. The strength of men, supported by their wives and families, is the foundation of freed...

Mr. Nugent and I attended the Father's Day Book Tasting Brunch at Patterson. There were a lot of older gentlemen there, but a few of us younger Dads did show up. We had a chance to talk to several of the men there and we got some really deep and interesting insights into fatherhood. There was fellowship, good food and some stimulating conversation. Stay tuned for an article later this week. Yo Yo...

Thought for the Week: This is so true. I have a ton of books, many of which I have read, many of which I haven’t. I used to feel a bit guilty about my “pile of books”. But this little meme makes me feel better about it. I just bought the Paul Laurence Dunbar: The Life and Times of a Caged Bird. I haven’t read it yet, but I’ve already learned something just from the title. What’s Going On? Man, I s...

What’s Going On? Out and About Acute Inflections put on a really good show. The tickets were affordable, the venue was easy to access, and the artists were talented, funny and down-to-earth. They played a nice mix of cover tunes, jazzed up in their own inimitable style, and a few original tunes as well. The duo was all about love, relationships and good vibes. Mr. and Mrs. Leon Williams won a priz...

What’s Going On? Earthing or Grounding Earthing (or Grounding) is the practice of putting your bare feet or other body parts in contact with the earth for the purpose of shedding unwanted electrical particles and taking in electrons from the earth itself. The Practice is said to help lower inflammation. It sounds “woo woo” but when I tried today, I did notice a lessening of muscle and joint pain,...

Check the out the recap video for the Israel United In Christ Stop the Violence Youth Summit, which took place on Saturday April 6, 2024. I always see these brothers out engaging with the community near the car wash on Parkway and Zenith. They have a confrontational style of proselytizing which reflects their conviction and devotion to Jesus the Christ, who was also said to be an “austere” man. Th...
