For a few seconds on Tuesday, I was surprised when I heard the ignorant, offensive, anti-Semitic comments from White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer. The man has had many low moments these first 90 days, but this was his lowest. In an attempt to justify military actions in Syria, Spencer started explaining how Hitler wasn’t […]

Before Donald Trump was ever elected, we knew he was a truly gross man — a liar and a cheater, a misogynist and a bigot, willing to play on the worst tendencies of this country for applause or votes. It was one thing when we knew of him that way as a reality TV star. It […]
This weekend, in a slew of truly bizarre interviews, the nation got a new level of confirmation that Stephen Bannon is not the only Steve pulling the strings in the White House. Stephen Miller, a 31 year old Duke graduate who somehow found a way to be an outspoken critic of Maya Angelou while in […]
This morning at CNN.com, the headline read “Democrats Have No Power.” And it’s almost true. You’ve heard me say it before, Republicans now control the House, the Senate, and the Presidency. Democrats are seemingly unable to stop even one of Donald Trump’s cabinet nominees from being confirmed. It appears conservatives will soon control the Supreme […]
For the past two years, as I’ve traveled the country and spoken on college campuses, and even right here on the Tom Joyner Morning Show, I’ve frequently made the point that it is hard to know a moment in history in when you’re in it. On an average day where you are stressed about work, […]
If by chance you were hopeful that Donald Trump and his team would miraculously morph into honest, decent people after he was inaugurated, this weekend provided a rude awakening. I must admit it was so underhanded and patently unethical that it shocked even me – a full time Trump critic. Just 24 hours into the […]
His death is on our hands. It was fully and completely preventable. It happened on our watch. We are all responsible. End of story. It’s not a conservative or liberal thing. It’s not a Republican or Democrat thing. It’s a New York thing. It’s an American thing. And this morning, I’m asking all of you […]
On this past Sunday, I spoke at the Apollo Theater in Harlem for their annual program honoring Dr. King and the moderator asked those of us the panel an essential question. And it’s a question we must all come to grips with. He asked us, with Democrats now controlling the governments in just four states, […]
Later today, Senator Jeff Sessions will begin his Senate confirmation hearings as he prepares to become Donald Trump’s Attorney General. The man has a long and painful history of bigotry. He was the first US Senator to endorse Donald Trump for President and is generally thought of as the most conservative member of the entire […]
We now have just 3 days left in 2016 and I wanted to take just a few minutes out to address something that I keep on hearing about 2017. I keep hearing that 2017 is going to be a terrible year. I even hear some people saying it’s going to be “the end of […]
