In this week's episode the Powell men discuss the sporting life. Keith's #softball team is a profile in courage. If you lose 16-1 and you plan to go out on the field again, that's courageous. The fellas also went #fishing on a boat. This was Keith's first time, and apparently he did well. The conversation about boats leads to a serious discussion about #generationalwealth and #wealthdisparity among #BlackPeople . #Redlining , #GIBill , no access to #realestate in places like #levittown have all played a roll. #AmericasMayor #ZohranMamdani is looking to arrst #BibiNetanyahu for his #WarCrimes and send him to #TheHague. #Knicks dominated the #Espys . Congrats to #JalenBrunson #OGAnunoby #KAT

In this week's episode the Powell men discuss the joy and pain of being an #emptynest parent. Depending on your perspective , its a win win or a lose lose. #SouthCarolina #SenatorLindseyGraham died suddenly. Sad to say, we won't miss him. #MitchMcConnell , however, is still
"alive" . At least that's what the photo of the #KentuckySenator and his wife #ElaineChao is trying to suggest. We don't believe it. Just another mystery to be solved like the , let's call it what it is , murder of #NolanWells in #Mississippi. This case reeks. Hopefully #benCrump and others get to the bottom of it.

They are the brightest newsduring a time of doubt and on going injustice. Sadly, #CyrusBelton won't get achance to see it due to his extrajudicial murder by #RickChow and his family. Knick namesake #KarmeloAnthony is set to serve a sentence almost as long as the Knicks drought for #selfdefense due to the racism of a #TexasJury . Yes , we need this #KnicksWin

In this week's episode the Powell men discuss the enduring damage that America's racists continue to inflict on the country. America sells itself as a first world Democracy when in truth the racists have made it a backwater , where progress is continually stifled. Racism hurts the perpretrator as much as the target. Its Wyle E. Coyote with an ACME anvil. The #heritagefoundation and all who used #project2025 to set us back need to be held responsible . The new #confederacy needs to be put down.

In this week's episode the Powell men discuss the looming #oilcrisis and th damage that it will cost average #americans . paraphrasing the late great #CurtisMayfield "people get ready there's some pain a coming". Well, he didn't actually sing that but you get the message. Start socking up on #nonperishables and load your pantries. Yup , we're doomsday #prepping. After #SCOTUS gutted the #VotingRightsAct aka #VRA the #GOP has been feverishly #redistrictin in an attempt to hold power. #MSNow #RachelMaddow has a great essay on the #TrumpAdministration assault on Black people . They want us back in chains. Thats what #MAGA truly means. #Tennesee state senator #JustinPearson describes just that as his #Memphis seat is being redrawn. #DrKing was shot therebut he is not the last #CivilRights casualty of that city. Fuck #Jefflandrey . Fuck #Louisiana and Fuck #SamuelAlito
