Squires: Hip-hop culture pressures young men who grow up like Ja Morant to act like NBA YoungBoy
Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant has a serious NBA problem, but it has nothing to do with the National Basketball Association. No, Morant has a YoungBoy Never Broke Again – aka NBA YoungBoy – problem. A recent video of Morant in a Denver nightclub captures him singing YoungBoy’s song “Bring 'Em Out... → Read More
Squires: The NAACP wants black men to follow Dwyane Wade up 'Broke Buck Mountain'
The trailer for a new political drama debuted last Saturday at the 54th NAACP Image Awards. The civil rights organization didn’t give it a title, but as someone who understands the priorities of the modern left, I know exactly what it should be called: “Broke Buck Mountain.”The “black buck” was an u... → Read More
Squires: 'Pink Book Lessons' fearlessly promotes a 'no wedding, no womb' standard in a culture where women want babies but not husbands
In a world where singers dress up like Satan, politicians twerk for votes, and social media influencers will do anything to go viral, one of the most important figures trying to bring a sense of decency and order to our culture is a woman who never shows her face.Pink Book Lessons is a popular YouTu... → Read More
Squires: The Tyre Nichols tragedy reminds us that human depravity comes from sin, not skin
The sense of outrage from journalists and political commentators since the fatal beating of Tyre Nichols became a national story is a rare moment of bipartisan consensus. But this tragedy has also exposed the inability – or unwillingness – of people to wait until all of the facts emerge before attem... → Read More
Squires: Political indoctrination disguised as black history undermines critical thinking
If education was really so important to modern civil rights leaders, they would be calling for the K-12 education system to be laser-focused on producing more critical thinkers — not on producing the next generation of BLM protesters.America’s public schools are ground zero for political indoctrinat... → Read More
Squires: Tony Dungy marches for life while his detractors demonize the Gospel
If you believe Tony Dungy’s critics, the Hall of Fame NFL coach is really a closeted Exalted Cyclops who dreams of burning rainbow crosses in front of Planned Parenthood in order to keep trans kids from their puberty blockers and women barefoot and pregnant.The treatment Dungy has received for publi... → Read More
Squires: Killing Roe is a long way from the last battle in the fight for life
The fall of Roe was an important milestone in the pro-life movement, but there is a lot more work needed to defeat the culture of death that permeates American society.

Squires: MLK’s successors foolishly turned the political tactic of victimhood into a cultural identity
One of the enduring legacies of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is the “white flight” of a black leadership class that is more concerned with changing hearts and minds in Silicon Valley than in Compton.King’s imitators are in bed with white knights in politics, big tech, big business, and corporate media... → Read More
Squires: Prince Harry proves that power and privilege can't give you peace when you reject God in favor of grievance
A modern fairy tale about a British prince and an American actress has turned into a Shakespearean tragedy about two drama queens.Like King James’ “graffiti-gate” and Jussie Smollet’s hate crime hoax, Prince Harry is a man who thinks he can find his crown by throwing himself down on the altar of vic... → Read More
Squires: Nothing would reduce crime in black neighborhoods more than family, faith, and fathers
Al Sharpton’s recent crime summit in Harlem is a needed reminder that a few more black faces in the statehouse are not nearly as important as a black father in his own house. The longtime civil rights activist convened a meeting with Mayor Eric Adams, New York state Attorney General Letitia James, M... → Read More
Squires: The left respects black drug dealers, pimps, and murderers more than black conservatives

Squires: President Biden has taken the ‘Trans King’ throne from Obama and Clinton
Years from now, historians will ponder the forces that transformed “Middle-Class” Joe Biden into America’s first trans president.Just 16 years ago, during a television interview with Tim Russert, Biden declared that marriage was between a man and a woman with as much confidence and vigor as an evang... → Read More
Squires: After 10 months in Russian jail, Brittney Griner should be singing the national anthem, not protesting it
Like many Americans, I am happy that Brittney Griner was released from Russian detention and her sentence of nine years in prison after authorities found cannabis oil in her luggage at a Moscow airport. I understand that ignorance is no excuse for breaking the law, but her punishment always seemed f... → Read More
Squires: David French shows Christians that anti-Trumpism can become an idol just as easily as Trump worship
David French is at it again. The conservative commentator whose screeds against white evangelical voters have become as commonplace on Sundays as hymns and communion has been busy lately doing what he does best: chastising Christians and blaming Donald Trump for America’s woes. Within the past five ... → Read More
Squires: America's (free) speech impediment is being caused by a bad case of 'oppression obsession'
What do a group of teenage girls in Derry, New Hampshire, have to do with professional athletes and the sports journalists who cover them?

Squires: Kyrie Irving's 'overseers' wanted him punished because the revolution has been corporatized
The Brooklyn Nets suspended Kyrie Irving for at least five games for what the organization characterized as a repeated failure to “unequivocally say he has no antisemitic beliefs.” It is a stunning turn of events for a league that promotes itself as a supporter of free speech and social justice. But... → Read More
Squires: 'Till' shows why history should be explored for timeless truths, not exploited for political gain
I did not plan on seeing the film "Till" when I first heard a movie was being made about the gruesome murder of 14-year-old Emmett Till. I felt no need to subject myself to yet another exercise in “racial trauma porn” dressed up as a history lesson. Some of these films, including "12 Years a Slave" ... → Read More
Squires: In BLM's utopia, black men are donors, not husbands and dads
A recent article from the Washington Post took readers into the lives of several black women hoping to become mothers. But this was not a feel-good story about newlyweds preparing for their bundles of joy while managing the challenges of starting a life together. This story was about the shortage of... → Read More
Squires: Black 'male feminists' are the white liberals of black people
Kanye West has generated so much controversy over the past two weeks that he has forced other people to apologize for even being associated with him.
