National Christian Foundation North Texas’ Post

Politicians of all parties, and at all levels, watch this short film by the @EsméeFairbairnFoundation to remind yourselves that everywhere, but especially in Stoke-On-Trent, we have great arts, cultural, heritage and community organisations who just need you to get rid of the bureaucracy, fund them directly, sustainably and consistently so that they can get on with making everyone's lives better. Building local wealth and social capital means putting your money where your heart is. #StokeCreates. #wererighthere, #stokeontrent, #stokeartsandculture,#peoplepower #valuelocalpeople, #socialcapital,#assetbased, #localinvestment, #doingitforourselves https://lnkd.in/envUKQUb

I’m not being a hater. Let’s have a serious discussion: Why does any Institution of Higher Education feel that having alums who are delegates to a Political Convention is newsworthy? THERE IS NO PURPOSE! That university is trying to engage in DEMOCRAT PARTY GOTV efforts. Their federal funding should be CUT! There are probably 50 Carolina alums who are delegates. A&T has several delegates and you don’t see their University promoting such a common occurrence. I encourage the Administration at NCCU to stay out of politics and focus on fundraising (which last I read, was quite pathetic). Get some of your alums to stop buying BMWs and give you $100 and perhaps we wouldn’t have to utilize so much of our tax dollars on landscaping over in Durham. Black Institutions must stop playing SMALL BALL. This type of BUSHLEAGUE activity is why Blacks as myself, who took Honors and AP courses and excelled DO NOT EVEN APPLY TO THESE SCHOOLS. #GlorifiedHighSchoolers #PoliticallyCHEAPpeople 🤦

#ICYMI TMCF Chief Business & Legal Officer David K. Sheppard talks about the significance of the Thurgood Marshall College Fund HBCU Fly-In on The Daily Flash. The HBCU Fly-In is an opportunity for presidents and chancellors from HBCUs and PBIs, legislators, policymakers, and corporate leaders to come together to discuss the challenges and opportunities for HBCUs and PBIs, build on victories from last year, and learn more about where we believe we can make a significant contribution to the development of federal policy that impacts our institutions. https://lnkd.in/dEaQjBAt.

"And that team includes our partners — whether in our many courses in Joint Special Operations University or the 28 nations right in our headquarters, as well as the numerous SOF relationships we have around the globe." We can see a real world application of this "power" at work (against us) on our own soil as malign actors have influenced our own citizens to co-opt their beliefs and highjack vulnerable college campuses to plant the seeds of terror. Use your enemy's indigenous disenfranchised populations and resources as a combat multiplier, save your resources, and minimize the manpower needed. Example: Of a protesting and disrupting group, 20% may be outside malign actors and they can control the other 80% of "indigenous" students willing to participate for whatever reason; believe in the cause, just want to go along with the crowd, getting praise from mentors, get out of finals, just want to destroy property, don't really care about school, etc. Reverse that in our favor and that's the "Power of Partnership" whether we value the actual relationship or just a means to an end to support our national security and strategic outcome. Malign actors have been nurturing and slow simmering our most vulnerable populations (college students) for decades. If we don't give our children something to believe in that is rooted in their red, white, and blue bones, others will find a way to manipulate this lost [free radical] citizen. Then it is up to "society" and our institutions to protect this believe with swift and resolute action. Contrast the campus protests at various schools and how each handled the attempt to gain a foothold. On some campuses an environment was allowed to slowly and incrementally test the waters and push back "bed time" by several hours. On other campuses it was a swift spanking and "get your a$$ to bed" without hesitation. One of these courses of action lead to significant disruption, damage, and an unsafe environment for many; a win for the agitating malign opposition.
