    I am a fist time listener of your show and you were making the comment on “drug testing people that receive assitance” What is so wrong with that? Why shouldn’t they? Is it not taxpayer dollars that funds that program? Taxpayers are the ones that have to get drug tested when we apply and get offered a job and keep a job? I can understand if a Dr. prescribes meds but illict drugs use no and caught with it or using they should be cut off. When people ask the government for a helping hand they have to play by those rules. If you want to do drugs then by all means do so but dont ask the govenment to give you a hand out. If you werent doing illcit drugs in the first place maybe you wouldn’t be needing assitance. Just my thought I feel that all should be drug tested and kicked out of the program its easy just say no and you wont have to worry about it. As for Rev Long and TD Jakes shame on them for doing the things that they are doing. They are just men using the word of God to benefit themselves and they are the ones that will have to answer for the misleading they have commited. God bless you and Keep up the great work

    Peace to you Denise. Awhile after your post, but to add to the topic of drug testing. I think it should be inclusive for all our politicians as well. Afterall it’s our tax paying dollars, so politicians, teachers and police officers should be the first to not just set the example, but as stated, anyone receiving some sort of compensation via tax dollars should submit to (random) testing and not just exlusively for the poor.

    If taxpayers have to foot for a new stadium for ballplayers, then Bud Selig or whoever should demand random testing so we dont pay millions of dollars to athletes who then do drugs and demand that their stadiums be paid for on the backs of the poor.
    Oh, Hey Earl! LOL!
    Listened to the show with Star Parker. Too short, and I would cherish the chance to converse with someone such as Ms. Parker. I would relish the chance!!!

    Hi, I tune to your program only to change the station every time because of the constant mind frame you and your listeners have of “what they won’t give us”. As long as you and your listeners keep that way of thinking we as black people will always only have what they will give us and they will never give us more then they have. We as a whole will always be at the bottom as long as we keep relying on others to give us things instead of allowing ourselves to become educated and start creating wealth for ourselves. We have more opportunities than our fore fathers ever did and if they were alive today I think they would cry over the way we have allowed ourselves to become. My last observation is that the black women in our community are 90% responsible for the deplorable conditions in our communities and schools. We have lowered our standards so low that we allow any and everything to go on in our homes and don’t take care of our children and allow them to run around creating havoc on society. Our children are not angry at society as a whole they are angry at their mothers who have not been there to protect them the way a mother should. Men do the things they do to us because we allow them.

    Good Day Sir. I am a long time listener, absolutely love your show, keep up the great work! A while back you had a guest from We Energies, I wasn’t able to listen to the entire segment, but was wondering if We Energies could provide some enlightenment on this topic. It appears that We Energies puts a disconnection notice on the door the same day of disconnecting services in some Milwaukee neighborhoods, but in other communities such as Mequon or Fox Point, they put the notice on the door several days or weeks in advance, thereby giving the occupants in these communities a 1-2 week notice on their door that the utilities will be disconnected. Residents in some Milwaukee neighborhoods that tend to be predominantly black, Hispanic or so called minorities receive no such courtesies. If that is the case, then there would seem to be a disparity in the practice of physically delivering the disconnection door notice and actual disconnection of services between communities of different ethnic, demographic or geographical locations, one that is disproportionate and presents a disadvantage to Milwaukee residents. Residents in other communities, such as Mequon, seem to get a 1-2 week door sticker or “heads up” that their utilities will be disconnected, whereas some Milwaukee residents leave their home in the morning and return the same day with a notice on their door and the utilities turned off the same day. If that is an actual practice, then Milwaukee residents deserve the same treatment as residents in other neighborhoods. Anything that deviates from fair, equitable treatment across the board could point to racial, economic or demographic discrimination. I truly hope this is not the case but would appreciate further enlightenment on general practices and procedures throughout the areas. Thank you.
