SCOOP Scoop is a for-profit Community Media Company that prides itself on its dedication to Community. We have been in the business of educating our communities since February 1960. From our first publication to our publication this week, our focus is to provide information that will EDUCATE, ENCOURAGE, ENGAGE, INFORM, AND MOTIVATE our readers. We believe that people need to see and hear that: regardless of time, space, and personal life circumstances, people are working toward better. Our mission is to leave, through Scoop's content, an ability for our readers to understand three things: 1) They are not limited to their current position in life, and that position does not define them, 2) Many people in the world may be struggling--to understand the environment and to achieve within it, as…

WASHINGTON, DC, June 4, 2025 — A groundbreaking national study found that when Blackowned brands lead with their identity and market themselves as certified Black-owned businesses, consumer likelihood to purchase their products rose as much as 30%. The research also found that half of Americans were willing to pay a premium for products from Black-owned businesses when those businesses donned a seal certifying that ByBlack, a national directory and certifying body, had reviewed and vetted their business. Released by the Fund for Social Equity and ByBlack, powered by the U.S. Black Chambers, Inc. (USBC), the data show that consumers across various political and geographic backgrounds consistently maintain a deep interest in closing the racial wealth gap through their spending choices. This study comes at a pivotal moment as various major…

Back in the early 1990s when I was running as a Republican candidate for Congress, a governor from Arkansas, Bill Clinton, once said during a three-way race for president the following, “It’s the economy, stupid.” Well, today, I would change that slightly to: “It’s the bond market, stupid.” (It must be noted that President Clinton was the last president to balance our budget.) Why is the bond market so important? Well, because America cannot pay its annual bills. We have a nearly $2 trillion annual budget deficit. We must borrow money, which is done via the bond market, not the stock market (but the bond market eventually affects the stock market). The solution is staring us in the face, however. As the grace of God would have it, good people…

One of our highest priorities in this darkness must be to protect the people who are doing the most right now to push back against Trump’s tyranny: our judiciary. In some 180 judicial rulings so far, federal judges have at least temporarily stopped Trump from (1) deporting and/or imprisoning people without due process, (2) firing federal workers and closing agencies and departments without congressional approval, (3) forcing law firms to not represent people or causes Trump dislikes, (4) forcing universities, their faculties, and their students not to say or write things Trump dislikes, and (5) imposing worldwide tariffs without congressional authority. Most of these court rulings have been temporary until the merits of the cases are fully heard, but increasingly, they’re final decisions. The Trump regime is appealing to many…

Lord, We Thank You For Waking Us Up This Morning. Give Us The Will To Live And Think Today By Your Standards. Amen. Many of us live our lives with a double standard. Think about this. Have you ever noticed? When the other person acts a certain way, he is “ill-tempered;" when you do it, it's your "nerves." When the other person is set in his ways, he's "obstinate;" when you are that way it's you just being "firm." When the other person doesn't like your friends, he's "prejudiced;" when you don't like his, you are simply showing that you are a good judge of human nature. When the other person tries to treat someone especially well, he is a "brown noser;" when you try the same thing, you are…

Marian Wright Edelman (born June 6, 1939) is an American lawyer, educator, and children's rights activist. In 1973, she founded the Children's Defense Fund, a nonprofit advocacy and research organization. Edelman was the first African-American woman to be admitted to the Mississippi State Bar. Marian Wright Edelman was born on June 6, 1939, and raised in Bennettsville, South Carolina, one of five children. Her father, Arthur Wright, was a Baptist preacher who was influenced by A. Phillip Randolph and taught his children that Christianity required service in this world. Her mother was Maggie Leola Bowen. Marian's father died when she was only 14 years old. In his last words to her, he urged her not to "let anything get in the way of your education." Edelman went on to study…
