July 16th Mychal-Massie.com turned one year old. By every measurable indicator, our first year has been a tremendous success and it is specifically because of you. Your loyalty, readership and support have made all of this possible and I want to personally thank you.
I was informed earlier this morning that within the next couple weeks we will surpass one million website page views. That is an extraordinary first-year accomplishment considering our humble beginnings.
In this first year, I was blessed beyond measure to be able to add Dan Bubalo and Jerome Lukas.
Since my days in talk radio, I have wanted a person to discuss money and politics for me and I could not have found a more qualified and knowledgeable person than Dan. He understands money and the politics of same like few others. Many of you have commented to me how much you enjoy his work and what a complement he is to the blog.
Jerome’s political cartoons have added another dimension to the blog. His artwork is second to none. I wanted a cartoonist who would complement the blog and become an integral part of it and Jerome fills that role perfectly.
My Daily Rant has had quantifiable impact in the political and social debate. The Daily Rant enjoys readership around the world and is followed by media worldwide. We are quoted by program hosts, et al, in every level of media.
Thanks to you, the Obamas were forced to address issues we raised our voices about even if they were not completely deterred. Your letters to the White House to express outrage at the over-the-top spending and arrogant disregard by Obama’s wife forced them to make public statements that were in direct response to your letters.
Fox News continues to not return phone calls or make a public statement, and we continue to demand they fire the radical racist, Obama crony and ACORN leader Jehmu Greene for her intentionally racist on-air insults directed at Tucker Carlson. We also to ask ask for apologies from Megyn Kelly for even now prominently showcasing Greene after her racial insults.
The Daily Rant focused on Greene’s racism and her subsequent appearances on Fox News without public apology–when we were all well aware that said would never have been tolerated if she were white.
But the area in which I am most proud and eternally grateful is that Mychal-Massie.com is having a tangible effect in the discussion of race. It has empowered and encouraged people to discuss race in an open and forthright way without fear. And we’ve not stopped there.
Last year I determined I could no longer participate in issues of race as they were being addressed. I had reached the point that I could no longer ignore that segregative institutions and organizations were in fact contributing negatively to the message needed to truly make a positive difference–even though in most cases their intentions were noble. I had reached the point that I could no longer align myself with those who, regardless of intentions, were engaging in segregative, hegemonic, race-based assignations.
My conviction was and is based upon biblical principles. Race-based assignations and race-based distinctions serve only to divide us, not bring us together as a nation of Americans. My point being, if we are all Americans instead of hyphenated-Americans and race-based communities cleaving to racialisms based on past injustices that in reality most cannot factually claim is divisive and exclusionary.
Thus Mychal-Massie.com was born. I am pleased to say that in this first year you helped establish a beachhead to begin this dialogue. With that accomplished, I am pleased to announce that seed money has been raised to begin the next step. Accordingly, in this our second year, we have established plans for realistically bridging the racial divide. We will be working with community outreach in a way that, to my knowledge, has not been approached before. Your prayers and support pursuant to this effort are paramount.
There are, also, of course, political concerns and the wrong path our nation has been steered onto. As always you can expect Mychal-Massie.com to address these issues as they arise. We will be adding weekly videos on subjects of interest, as well.
As many of you are aware, we have been under attack by Obama’s so-called truth squad (an oxymoron if ever there was one). They have, on several occasions, crashed the site, and they have taken the unprecedented steps of going so far as to corrupt my syndicated columns by adding vulgar, racial language in an attempt to marginalize my voice, especially to blacks.
I would like to take a moment to address how you can continue to help. First, you can pray for us, our goals, and that we will continue to put God first in everything we desire Mychal-Massie.com to accomplish. Second, you can sign up for my “Daily Rant” and share Mychal-Massie.com with your friends, colleagues, and contacts. Third, you can arrange to have me speak at your event, to your group or company, and/or your church. Fourth, you can contact me to find out how you can participate in my new effort “Frank Talk About Race.” And last, you can choose a level of monthly support to Mychal-Massie.com.
I would be remiss if I did not mention the cutting edge work of Cutty and Powers. They are singularly responsible for the design, creation, minute-to-minute maintenance, as well as the many features you enjoy on the website/blog. Cutty and Powers is wholly responsible for creating and shepherding through the process with the Mychal-Massie.com app for Apple, Android, and Windows mobile phones. (just visit http://mychal-massie.com with your smart phone!)
I would like to thank those referenced here and anyone/everyone I may have missed. I would especially like to thank the many people who prefer to work tirelessly and anonymously in the background, without whom Mychal-Massie.com would not be as successful. DAH of all the blessings you are a special one.
Finally, I would like to thank all of you once again. You have no idea how much your words of encouragement and prayers mean on a daily basis. I feel as though I know you personally even though we have never met. I genuinely look forward to responding to your comments and interacting with you. Sumitch, Marylin, Wakinyan, Gunny, Kristin, Betrayed, Vietvet, Norlyn, Elaine, Larry, Patricia, Trask, Roni, Cowles, Ed, SunnyVee, Noah, our new readers and anyone else I missed, thank you so very much. Your comments and responses are always spot on. To those not mentioned, it was not for a lack of appreciation. You are all the best any blogger could ever hope for much less actually interact with daily.
Sincerely,
Mychal Massie

great web site, one of my favorites, some of your writing is deep and as advertised very hard hitting and without compromise, happy b-day and God bless
branwen: thk you my friend…we don’t pull punches or do political correctness here…
Happy 1st Birthday to your blog!It sure is a wonderful 1 ;-)! Thanks for speaking out on issues most of us could never get away with! It’s been my pleasure to forward your columns to my e-mail buddies. Let’s all hang together- this battle isn’t over yet!!!
Take every thought captive…then share them with us…blessings.
sunny: it’s a deal…
Mychal -
Church mouse that I am, I would like to be part of your efforts to bridge the racial divide with honest and straight forward conversation. Neither (none) of the different hues and heritage have the answer(s). Maybe we can build up a group that will listen and learn and pass the message on to others. Please advice us of any special instructions or addresses that we will need to pick up the flag.
God knows we need to spread the word and heal the wounds.
sumitch: the simple way is to share all pertinent information w/ your contact list…and have them share pass it on to all on theirs…
Congrats on a year. Keep it up. You have my total respect. They will still attempt to shut you down, simply because the truth hurts. Hopefully, with your efforts, and a few others, we won’t have to load the .06 to straighten things out with the govt.
john perdue: thk you much my friend…the truth is driving them crazy and we are not about to stop…
Congratulations, Mychal, on your one year anniversary! My only regret is that I did not find you when you started up. I have a been a follower for several months now, and your blog is something I refuse to miss. I enjoy your unvarnished honesty, and the courage you have to take such strong stands. I suspect you are swimming upstream and yet you don’t hesitate. I do enjoy Dan’s articles too. You, Dan, and your blog are awesome! I forward your Daily Rant to all my poltical email buddies. Rest assured, you will be in my prayers every day. Thank you for all you do to speak the truth and hold the hypocrites’ feet to the fire!
sunnyvee: thk you so much…
Congratulations, Mychal on your one year anniversary. You are truly what this country needs right now. Keep up the good work and know that you and your staff will be in my prayers. May God bless all of you.
dorothea: thk you much my friend…I covet your prayers…
I send echoes to all the comments and congratulations Mychal. Your expressed appreciation for your readers and those that participate with comments and support is well noted. I have been curious as to the numbers of visitors to your web site, not realizing it was only one year old. I do not recall exactly how I happened to find you but must say it was like a breath of fresh air to read straight-forward, always timely opinions with no attempt to be ‘politically correct’ on issues of great concern to me and many others. I am pleased to know you are having a growing impact that will surely awaken some of the sheep from what I view as a fatal malaise. Hopefully you will soon attain a readership of three hundred million and more. Your voice fearlessly speaking the truth is priceless in this time of crisis for our nation and our cherished personal freedoms. Thank you and hang in there. Watch your six o’clock because you are stepping on some sensitive toes every day. Some of those folks don’t play nice.
wakinyan: watching my six o’clock is something I do instinctively…thks much for your kind words…
Happy Birthday! I was introduced to your rant by a friend who forwarded a Cato Institute item to me. After finding your blog, reading some pretty insightful and frank commentary, voila! A new subscriber was born. I have since forwarded a number of postings to others and your tribe of readers is growing.
Knowledge is power. An informed and involved citizenry is absolutely vital to the survival of this great nation.
If I could send a birthday gift, it would be William Manchester’s superb biography of Winston Churchill entitled ” The Last Lion.”
In particular I would urge you to read volume II, “Alone”, which covers the years during the Great Depression, the rise of the Nazis and WWII. The enemy is the same; only the names have changed.
Keep up the good fight and run the good race.
Mychal; Congrats on your first year. I look forward to each Daily Rant.I never considered myself as racist. Anyone that worked for me,male,black,Hispanic,female, all were treated the same. After this election when 90+% of the blacks turned their backs on Hillary and voted for Obama only because of his skin color, I became a racist. You have helped me over come these feelings for which I thank you so much. Please speak to as many blacks and hispanics as you can before this election. I think you can make a difference.
anniesdad: my friend I spk to americans…our color is red white and blue…
pblee: I would love to have that biography…thk you for spreading the word about the blog…
Mychal, we thank you for taking the lead as you have. I too would love to be part of “Frank talk about race” if I can be of service from Guatemala.
I believe you to be one of the watchmen on the wall in these times. I am not sure God desires for the USA to turn around, but I am sure He desires for His sons and daughters to speak the truth, now and in what ever future remains for us. I would stand with you shoulder to shoulder in these times.
May God use us in His Harvest Fields in these final days in a supernatural way to increase the Kingdom of Christ and depopulate that broad road that leads to destruction. I know you take heat for the stand you take. Don’t back up brother or you will step on me … HA
In Christ,
Dennis McCutcheon
dennis mccutcheon: I don’t do back up my friend so your toes are safe…lol…love you brother…
Congratulations Mychal! Your writings and articles are always right on and have been a great source for all who are concerned about healing the divisions that the Obama Administration has caused. I especially want to thank you for the article, “Why I do not like the Obama’s.” You really hit the nail on the head with that article. Well done. Keep the faith!
owen k: surprisingly that was one of the most popular…thk you much…
Congratulations, Mychal on your milestone! I look forward to your rants daily and always share with friends and family. I would love to hear more about your new “Frank Talk About Race” endeavor. That is something I would love to be involved in, even if only as a $ contributor. And I would certainly like to know where to follow your efforts for this worthy cause..
deb: you can contact me directly to discuss how to make it happen…
I’d like to add my congratulations for your first year and hope for many to follow. Much like you said I feel that I can add you and Dan to my short list of friends. And hopefully can include the many regulars that I type with and to. Agree or not, the discussions are always educational and sometimes, even fun.
We all know what job one is, and with God’s blessings, we will make a difference.
Keep the faith!
sumitch: I’m looking forward to coming to texas to have ribs and cigars w/ you and Dan…
Congratulations, Mychal, on your first Anniversary/Birthday. Your words are a candle in the darkness, and I wish you many more years of spreading light and truth, where it is sorely needed. May God bless you and all those who make this place a sanctuary in a world of confusion and disinformation.
stormrider900: thks much my friend…
Happy birthday, Mychal-Massie.com, & we wish you many more. Keep up the good Rants.
norlyn: thk you…appreciate it greatly…
Congratulations Mychal,
You have gone to great length to show appreciation for your readers, staff, and the many dedicated crew that daily are required to keep this webpage available to the public providing honest journalism and data for America’s true patriots looking for conservative leadership with a moral unbiased agenda to advance the cause of freedom and preservation of our Republic. Just know that our loyalty has not been in vane and our trust has not diminished. We are all the better for having had the opportunity to witness and absorb the intricate knowledge and thoughtful opinions of you and Dan which appear daily on our favorite web page. May I speak on behalf of the hundreds who look forward each day to come to the troth of truth about what is really going on in Washington and the White House in particular? We not only appreciate your efforts to dedicate hours and hours of your time and talents to inform us moreover we have grown to love the Christian compassion with which your messages come to us. Though the words may sound stern or course at times we of faith realize truth is a sharp sword in the had of righteousness which must be used against the attacks of Evil in all its disguises. God Bless and carry on brother in Christ.
bill sr: you are to kind…thk you for your heartfelt comments…they are deeply appreciated…
You are such a treat each day. I’ve missed a few but only due to a family illness. Here is my wish for you. Hope you and Dan and Jerome will enjoy and take it for what it’s worh.

marilyn: hahaha…thks much…
Happy Birthday, Mychal! We love you, and keep the Faith.
Thanks all for your amazing support of Mychal-Massie.com!
Mychal Massie – I post your rants on my Facebook page almost every day! My friends love it. And I love it too. Happy Happy birthday to a good man. I have written to you before – you’ve always been kind enough to respond. At age 75 I am a bit set in my ways. (Surprise surprise surprise). Anyway, I grew up in the south where blacks did not attend public schools until my senior year in high school when one brave young woman enrolled as a freshman that year. She was the only black girl in school. A couple months ago I found a friend of hers. I was so pleased to know the young woman had graduated and raised a family. PLEASE keep up your good work – and let’s get the Obamas out out out of the White House and out of our country. Thanks for being there, Mychal.
swamprat: it must have been a good feeling to find out about your friend…getting the bum out is priority…getting bums out of congress is priority one…and not to worry I’m much younger than you and I’m set in my ways…lol…
daezy: thk you and I will…
