Department of Government Secretaries are supposed to manage their staff, ensure accountability, and know what’s happening in their agencies. If we need another department—DOGE—to do this for them, then why have Secretaries at all? It’s an unnecessary layer of bureaucracy and a waste of resources. Then there’s Elon Musk suggesting that federal workers send daily emails just to prove they’re alive. That logic is flawed. If dead people are somehow getting paid, they can just as easily send back emails. This entire exercise makes no sense. Each department, with its newly confirmed leadership under a new president, should run the government—without an extra, redundant oversight body. A shadow cabinet only adds to the waste, forcing taxpayers to fund DOGE, Elon, and the Secretaries all at once. It’s inefficient and unnecessary. Submitted by Rev. Renaldo C.

According to Elon Musk, its "interesting" that amuse is reporting that "almost 160,000 federal civil service workers are now millionaires, (https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1893774109726703951?t=z-1i6lvOk2l5HWY0WdMYhQ&s=19). So, you're saying that under Former President Joe Biden, many Federal workers who are Americans were able to realize the American dream and that's a problem for the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Elon Musk and Donald J. Trump?  So the plan is to impoverish these millionaires who had worked for the government. I heard Musk got richer under Biden. If truth be told, the problem is that some black people got rich. The federal government over the years allowed black people to get rich so now they are jettisoning the only path to the American dream for most black people in America; working as civil servants. By firing all DEI hires calling it "efficient" and using it as a strategy to Make America White again with...

Last night, I watched Captain America: Brave New World , and I have mixed feelings about it. As a superhero action movie, I would rate it a 5/10 —it leaned far more into drama than action, and when action sequences did appear, they often felt contrived, almost as if I were watching a simulation rather than an organic, high-stakes battle. The lack of thrilling, immersive action sequences left a lot to be desired, especially for those expecting the high-energy spectacle characteristic of Marvel films. That being said, Brave New World does what many superhero films fail to do—it integrates its action sequences seamlessly into the storyline rather than forcing them in for mere visual appeal. Unlike other films in the genre where action can feel botched or abrupt, the sequences in Captain America were well-woven into the narrative. This is where the film redeems itself, making it feel more like a drama than a typical superhero flick. As a drama, I would rate the movie 7/10 . The ...

There's something I can't get out of my mind since yesterday at the Post Elections Forum held at Temple University' Africology and African American Studies department.  How can  an African American professor, sit here in his Ivory Tower and say they didn't vote because African Americans have been voting for 50 years without any progress? When sitting here as a professor came from the efforts of people like Octavius V Catto who was killed on October 10, 1871, trying to get Africans involved in the electoral process. In American political democracy nothing happens without the electoral process. But that's one step and the fight is multifaceted. Some are using politics and others academics while others Entrepreneurial Initiatives and economics etc. It is as if all the work to get us involved was in vain. When our ability to get things done requires real actions still happening and voting is part of thart process. It's hypocrisy to say the least. Watch t...

These are pivotal times for President Joe Biden and the Democrats who must make a decision regarding whether to continue to have Joe Biden at the top of the Presidential ticket given his decline which was evident at the presidential debate last week Thisday where he could not complete his answers, seeming oblivious at times, coughing with a cold and speaking slightly unintelligibly. Democrats and many on the left or are left-leaning are urging him to get out of the race. Joe Biden has remained resolute accepting his failures at the debate but has not indicated that he would and stated that he is not going anywhere. Biden also interviewed the ABC team, hoping to repair the damage and look presidential and able. That did not do anything to quell the rising discontent. If anything, Biden appeared still suffering from a cold. Host Renaldo C McKenzie and Co-Host Donte T Nelson discuss this and more on The Neoliberal Round Podcast. The episode begins with two brief recordings, the first ...

Recently, there has been a notable shift in business policies, with some now open to hiring workers without a college degree. Concurrently, high schools have seen a decline in the rigor of their programs, while colleges are being forced to accommodate this shift. Consequently, professionalism and customer service, seem to be fading into obscurity as businesses lower the bar for professional and educated staff in favor of those with less training and credentials. Furthermore, this change stems from a lack of understanding among businesses regarding the role and preparation provided by colleges. Colleges play a crucial role in developing critical thinking skills relevant to one's vocational practice, facilitating networking opportunities, and providing ongoing support that professionals need throughout their career-life journey. Therefore, the solution cannot be to sacrifice education for increased workforce participation. While it's true that some individuals may succeed without...

This is Part One of a long Lecture exploring attitudes towards Afro-Caribbean beliefs and delving into the question should theology transcend culture? The Lecture is delivered by Rev. Renaldo McKenzie at Jamaica Theological Seminary available on The NeoLiberal Round Podcast. #Caribbeanunity and #blackpeoples unity threatened the #statusquo . So, the plan was always to implement strategies that prevent poor people's unity; the value of their strength, such as rejecting and diluting one's language as creole and religion as evil for a #eurocentric one. Hence we want to rediscover our unity by revisiting our #history and exploring the changing attitudes towards Afro-Caribbean and indigenous traditions in the #Americas .

  Trump Versus Biden Leaders must be careful when they speak. It is unacceptable and inexcusable for DonaldTrump to say there's gonna be a bloodbath even if he were referring to the socio-economic ramifications of voting for JoeBiden . Trump 's speeches may have led to #January6th , so he must " t oe the line " as some of his MAGA supporters in the GOP with extremists bent may misrepresent his statements for a call to repeat January6thInsurrection . We must learn from history , but clearly, we have not. Yet, we have a system in place to prevent a #bloodbath , TheJusticeDept which is not working, as the system USSupremeCourt in place driven by humancondition is now making excuses as to why they can't prevent another one JANUARY 6TH or to implement and execute #laws that limit the actions of those who may want to do so or to do so again....
