The New York Times recently published an article highlighting a growing gender gap at historically black colleges and universities — revealing that only 19% of students enrolled at Howard University are black men.

“I found the story fascinating,” Jason Whitlock of “Fearless” tells Shemeka Michelle. “I did find it frustrating, though, because in every subtle way they could, the drop in enrollment of black men, ‘It’s Donald Trump’s fault, it’s the Republicans' fault, it’s conservatives' fault.’”

Michelle did a little research herself and found that while the number of black men attending HBCUs has dropped, the number of black men with a bachelor’s degree has increased from 19% to 22%.

“So, maybe they just aren’t going to HBCUs,” Michelle says, adding, “but when I read this article, I could understand it. As I was reading it, all I got from it was, ‘Are you gay? If not, come to an HBCU and we’ll fix that.’”

“It was just like they want to make these men soft, and I don’t understand what the obsession is,” she continues, adding, “Well, I guess it is feminism, but there’s like this obsession to make men into women.”

“So if they’re skipping out on college, I’m all for it, as long as they’re doing something else,” she says, noting that of course, the article also made sure to include pro-feminist chirps from women on the campus.

“That was frustrating when I saw them talking about DEI and how women run the campus. I just don’t like the idea that men should be subservient to women, and I feel that if you go to college, that’s what we’re kind of pushing on black men and men in general nowadays,” she explains.

“We’re teaching young men how to handle their emotions like women, and I don’t like it,” she adds.

How George Soros and radical groups keep funding anti-Trump protests

The protests against Elon Musk, the DOGE, and President Trump may be massive — but whether or not they’re real is up for serious debate.

Co-host of “Bannon’s War Room” Natalie Winters is of the mind that these protests are not only not grassroots, but are funded by progressive dark money groups including George Soros’ Open Society Foundations.

“They can’t impeach President Trump, so what are they doing? I guess what Marxists always do — not just show an irreverence for private property and try to destroy Teslas, but they’re using violence and intimidation,” Winters tells Glenn Beck on “The Glenn Beck Program.”

“These people are being funded by far-left donors, like George Soros, like the Tides Foundation. The same big money, dark money, interests that funded basically every violent protest we’ve seen since Trump really entered the stage,” she continues.

One of these groups is called “Indivisible.”

“Indivisible is sort of the ringleader in a lot of this, and their biggest refrain that they always are pumping through the airwaves is that they are a grassroots organization, that they are people-funded and people-powered,” Winters explains.

“But if you dig into their financials,” she continues, “from the 990 files, where you can see, again by design, not exactly who’s funding them, but overwhelmingly the majority of the funds that support this group come from big dark money-type foundations or philanthropic organizations.”

“The majority of it comes from, and I’m talking seven-plus million dollars since 2018 alone, is coming from George Soro’s Open Society Foundations. And like I said, when they tell you that they’re funded by people, and it’s people powered, it’s not true.”

“So the idea that this is all organic and that President Trump is just, you know, angering America so bad by going after waste, fraud, and abuse, it’s not true,” she adds.

Why people are 'missing the point' on Trump's tariffs

The mainstream media have been in a state of doom and gloom over President Trump’s tariffs, but as usual, they’re missing the point.

And while the mainstream media fearmonger over the tariffs, Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts has faith that Trump’s plan will work.

“Just to be really objective about this, there will be an economic quarter or two where things are choppy. The treasury secretary has said as much, because what Trump is trying to do is reset the world economic order,” Roberts tells Sara Gonzales on “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered.”

“If I had to guess, as he gets into this negotiation with other countries and they recalibrate, because the administration is so good, they’re going to focus on the reciprocity part of this,” he continues, adding that alongside “deregulation, cutting the budget” and “making tax cuts” will get “America back on its feet.”

“There needs to be a zealous focus, a real target, on the worst abusers,” he says, noting that China and the European Union are among these abusers.

“The EU is the biggest protectionist racket in history, and they’re telling us we can’t place a tariff on them. That’s the kind of reset that Trump is doing. He deserves much more credit for it than he’s getting,” Roberts explains.

BlazeTV contributor Matthew Marsden is in full agreement.

“It’s just absolutely typical. Trump does something, the press loses their mind over it, and the problem is they’ve done this so much that people just don’t care any more,” Marsden says, adding, “If you just have reciprocal tariffs, then it’s very easy to say, ‘Well, hang on a second, the messaging is very easy. You have this, we have this,’ it’s just very simple.”

“But I think that Americans know now that we have to go through this, because we were being bled dry. We were going to go bankrupt, the country faced a very, very uphill battle to prosperity,” he continues.

“We know that we have to have some discomfort, and I think the majority of Americans that voted Trump in, we knew we were going to get that,” he adds.

War on masculinity: Why ‘Adolescence’ contradicts its own message

Netflix’s new show “Adolescence” tells the story of a 13-year-old boy who murders one of his female classmates after being radicalized online by the likes of Andrew Tate — a man whose influence had an episode of the mini-series devoted to it.

“The best thing you can say about this is that it is addressing a legitimate concern that you and I frankly have about who is discipling this generation of young men,” Steve Deace of the “Steve Deace Show” comments.

“The best thing you can say is it has stumbled upon a legitimate concern our worldview has, but it lacks the worldview to adequately address it, and so therefore is entangled in its own idolatries that contradict its own message,” he continues.

The first glaring point Deace makes is that the show is “based on a story that undermines the premise of the entire show.”

The show is in part based on the real and recent story of a black teenager in Britain named Hassan who brutally murders a girl for no reason. However, the series blames white men, masculinity, and right-wing influencers for the violence instead of what clearly is a deeper problem.

“This reinforces our lament about how the church has largely left young men behind in the last generation,” Deace says, “They’re not getting the proper discipleship at home.”

And in order to get the proper discipleship, they need proper parenting.

“This is why we need good dads to help us exercise and navigate this tension, and this is why dads need to be connected to their heavenly father who experiences the exact same tension with them, right out of the womb,” Deace says. “Look at this beautiful creation of mine, I’ve counted all the hairs on his head, and yet, in the not too distant future, he’s going to look at me and say, ‘I think I could be like God, I’ll call my own shots, make my own decisions.’”

“We used to societally understand these things. These things used to get preached and taught from our pulpits by men worthy of such teachings and preachings,” he continues.

“If we don’t tackle these dilemmas amongst ourselves within a biblical worldview, the culture will do it for us.”
