Here is a little trick I’m passing on to you on ways to spot frauds. Let’s say you are at work; during a team meeting, someone brings up the issue of people taking food that does not belong to them from refrigerators. Assuming you are not the culprit, this is the a sure fire way
Perhaps it started before I even knew what love was. Maybe it was the first time I felt infatuation in my heart and the desperate measures we feel when affinity floods our heart. I’m sure most of us have stories like this; remembrances of the first time we felt butterflies in our souls. My first brush
I read something this morning that made me see red. An article I wrote about the concept of “white privilege” recently went viral in ways I did not expect. My take on the issue departed from the media and social narrative, thus I knew when I was writing the article that it was going to
It is easy for some to assume that I don’t like my country. Though I write about a variety of topics, understandably—given the age we live in—the articles about politics that I write are the ones that get the most traction and reaction. Invariably, because I refuse to be partisan and I don’t cater to
Let’s take a quick history tour. At the risk of sounding like Sophia from The Golden Girls, I ask you to picture the most powerful empire known to mankind during its last days. In the annals of history, none could touch the sheer power of the Roman empire and the influence it had and continues to
Make sure to check out the article below the Ghion Cast video. What I write is more meaningful than what I speak. If there is one common theme in most of what I write, it is the need for inclusive justice. We live in a time where grievances abound as an increasing and metastasizing number
Imagine a war where all the soldiers on one side are fighting individual battles and refuse to fight together. How long do you think that war would last and what do you think would be the outcome? Throughout history, armies which were technically superior and had numbers on their side, time and time again, lost
The gale winds and the utter destruction unleashed by Hurricane Maria upon the devastated island of Puerto Rico had nothing on the monster storm that developed in Manhattan and crushed San Juan and beyond starting last decade. While we Americans felt the dizzying pinch of the 2008 economic collapse, Puerto Rico—more than any other state
Breaking news! This just in from our Washington bureau. Our government lies to us. Don’t worry, I have not jumped the shark and cast my lot with the professional jackasses at the Corporate State Media who love to revel in sensationalism for the sake of clicks. Rather, I’m just stating an obvious truth; when power is
Head’s up. If you are the type who turns everything into politics and gloms on to human suffering to use it as a political cudgel, you might want to skip past this article because the words herein will sear your cornea. I say this to both sides of the political divide for when it comes
It all started on a cold December day in 2007. That was the day I stopped being a sideline observer and made a decision to exert all my energies and expend all effort to get Barack Obama elected the next president. I know this comes as a shocker to some who read my writing; you
I write this in our moment of collective of lamentation. Once again, innocent lives are felled by mindless violence. It makes no sense really, the brokenness of the world. Where there is abundance for all, humanity’s default mode seems to be avarice as we let malice prevent collective progress. Flashing graphics and breaking news splinters the
There is really no getting around it—Osama bin Laden got his way on September 11, 2001. He meant to create chaos and bloodshed and he did. He meant to bankrupt us and he did. But, most of all, he meant to divide us and he succeeded brilliantly. Through that division, he meant to tear apart
You know what life gives you through kicks? Wisdom. Let me share the wisdom I’ve gained over the years that has given me the capacity to understand the bible in ways I could not before. For those who are atheists or believe in other faiths, I hope that you read on regardless. Trust me when I
Let me admit from the outset, I spent a lot of time pondering whether or not to write this article. In all honesty, I worked myself into a bit of agita—I fear what I am presenting before you is self-serving. I decided to write on regardless for I know that the motivation behind this article
You know what gets in the way of progress? Dogma. When people are wedded to ideologies, society atrophies and ideas become non-existent. Voltaire once said, “it is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere”. Truer words have rarely been spoken; it’s as though America has morphed into a society of Jim Jones occultists.
Did you know that Martin Luther King Jr. was poised to become the singular voice for all oppressed people throughout America. After spending most of the 50’s and 60’s focused on “black” equality, he had a moment of revelation. He realized the folly of seeking social equity without first gaining economic justice. King pivoted; he made
