How about getting back to things like opportunity zones, one of the things that I'm convinced of is when we have anyone, male or female, that really see themselves as being participants and being part of the free market there's a different attitude, there's a sense of commitment to the community.

We don't have to wonder or drift with society; the Lord has a very strong and clear pathway of what is right and where blessings come from.

You learn after losing quite a bit, year after year, that you have to continue to work hard, stay tough, and endure to the end before it's going to work out.

There were questions I didn't have the answers to, and I was trying to figure it out. I remember staying up until 4 A.M. reading the Bible and praying.

Unfortunately, I have been a little disappointed that we have issues out there like traditional marriage, abortion, school education, and we have so much silence from the black community, from black preachers, because they understand first hand the impact of all that.

It is no accident that this country has been blessed with its abundance and its history as the freest and most productive in the world.

As its citizens humbly recommit to an acceptance of guidance from the God of our fathers, our nation will once again see the miraculous resurrection of the proud, responsible, visionary black father. And with him, his family and community will be lifted.

One of the things I did in my book, I start off with, is explaining how great our grace was: the things we were able to accomplish after the first one-hundred years from slavery.

I know that's a shocker to many who might be reading this, but I grew up in a time when the black middle class was vibrant it was everywhere because we had so many business owners. It went from 40% to 3.8%.

This is what we have to get back to because I’ve seen the last 50-60 years what happens when the family is destroyed and fatherhood is taken out of the picture.

Honored to have known John Madden, his impact, knowledge, and love for the game will never be forgotten.

Biden is the best president our country has had in a while, not because he's doing a good thing, but he's showing what it looks like on the far left, it's no longer hypothetical for us to now understand what defund the police is, what inflation looks like.

It should always be about the policy, about our country, not politician or party, what he's showing is that his loyalty is to our country. At the end of the day, no one has looked at that bill and can with an honest conscience say it's best for our country. It's not going to be best for the American people, for business owners, for moms and dads. It's going to be more divisive than ever before.

We are not a hapless, hopeless race.

When I was growing up, 70% believed and committed to family, we now have close to 80% believe its no big deal to have kids and not take care of them.

Im so against anybody portraying that generation that didso much to raise such a great group of kidsto be looked at as hopeless and hapless, they would beput down and disgusted to be looked at as oppressed when we were victors.
