When Delano Squires was growing up, he was surrounded by young black men who were not only getting into trouble, but getting into gangs and going to jail — while he kept his hands clean.“At a certain point in my teenage years, I said, ‘Well, it’s because of the families we were raised in. All our parents were married, ... we were going to the same church, same values across households, a community of men who were raising us and keeping us in line. And I realized that family structure was the key,” Squires tells BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock on “Jason Whitlock Harmony.”“So from there, just one of those things that I’ve always thought about, the importance of family, the importance of marriage, importance of my dad in my day-to-day life, his everyday presence. And at a certain point, I wanted to write about it,” he explains.And Squires did write about it in his new book, “The Vanishing Black Family,” where he argues that the breakdown of the black family is to blame for lack of education and high crime rates.“Men and women are continuing to have children, particularly in our community, where 70% of kids are born out of wedlock,” Squires tells Whitlock.“The other thing that we’ve seen over the course of the last 60 years is that as poverty has decreased in the black community, the non-marital birth rate has increased,” he continues, using NBA players as an example.“In a league that was 70-plus percent black, you had guys who were fathering four, five, six, seven kids out of wedlock, even though they were making millions of dollars a year,” he explains, noting that economics appear to have very little to do with children being born out of wedlock.“I think economics is a part of it, but the real reason is because marriage is no longer seen as valuable, desirable, accessible, or indispensable for the purpose of forming a family. And the reason for that goes back much further than current economic trends,” he tells Whitlock.Whitlock has his own theory as to why the black family has broken down.“If we had more God, we could have a successful marriage, and we could raise up better kids. That’s the missing ingredient,” Whitlock says.“The cause of the vanishing black family is because we’re not looking for God to be our provider. We’re looking for money to be our provider. And so, whatever makes us the most money is going to fix the most problems,” he continues.“And to me it’s, you know, we’ve just lost focus on who our real provider is. It’s not man-made money. It’s God,” he adds.Want more from Jason Whitlock?To enjoy more fearless conversations at the crossroads of culture, faith, sports, and comedy with Jason Whitlock, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

President Donald Trump enraged onlookers by spending the 82nd anniversary of D-Day flooding Truth Social with AI-generated videos glorifying himself — riding a camel through a desert, skydiving with a red parachute, walking through cheering crowds in New York — while posting nothing about the soldiers who stormed the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944.The backlash from analysts was swift."It's D-Day. Trump's first post on Truth Social is a bizarre AI video about how much people love Donald Trump," Republicans Against Trump wrote Saturday morning. "Not a word about the heroes who stormed the beaches of Normandy. That tells you everything you need to know about Trump."As the hours passed without any acknowledgment from the Commander in Chief, the group posted updates. "Still no mention of D-Day from Trump." Then, near the end of the day: "It's almost 5 p.m. on D-Day. The Commander in Chief still hasn't said a word about it. Disgraceful."What Trump did post included an AI image mocking the Obama Presidential Center as a garbage can surrounded by a tent city, a transphobic AI collage targeting Rosie O'Donnell, an attack on a federal judge blocking his White House drone port, and multiple videos apparently designed to show the world how beloved he is.Political commentator Molly Ploofkins put it plainly: "Trump marks the D-Day anniversary by glorifying himself with AI slop."Spanish journalist Carlos Montero, whose post was translated from Spanish, was more blunt: "This man is not well! Commemorating D-Day, in which the anniversary of the Normandy Landings is celebrated, Trump posts this video."Others skipped the commentary and went clinical. "Malignant narcissism is a severe, destructive form of narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) characterized by grandiosity, a total lack of empathy, antisocial behavior, and sadism," one widely-shared post read, posted beneath a screenshot of Trump's AI skydiving video.Trump marks the D-Day anniversary by glorifying himself with AI slop pic.twitter.com/GCLVCQI7PE— Molly Ploofkins (@Mollyploofkins) June 6, 2026
The claims have reignited debate over voter fraud in California, despite the absence of evidence of widespread fraud in the state's elections.
Lawyers representing immigrants being swept up by the Department of Homeland Security are raising the alarm that federal authorities are deploying new tactics to fast-track deportations.According to New York Times reporting, federal officials have begun pushing dozens of additional cases onto court dockets on specific days to rapidly process asylum and other immigration claims. The secret acceleration started without any public notification from the administration.The impact has been dramatic, observers told the Times. Some immigration judges have seen their caseloads double and triple, raising concerns that cases are being processed too quickly for proper legal review.The Executive Office for Immigration Review, the Justice Department agency overseeing the immigration court system, defended the larger caseloads as a result of hiring new judges and described them as necessary to address a backlog of more than 3 million cases this year.But immigration lawyers and rights groups argue the acceleration creates a fundamentally unfair process. "Everything related to these large dockets or mass dockets is shrouded in such a strange secrecy," Gracie Willis, an attorney with the National Immigration Project, told the Times. "Our confirmation that they were even happening really came from going to the court on Monday and seeing the large lines of people standing outside," she claimed, referring to proceedings she observed in New Orleans.Lawyers reported witnessing judges processing groups of people simultaneously despite their different cases and legal claims. In one instance, a judge heard 15 people at once, cycling through Arabic, Spanish, and Creole interpretations.On a single Monday and Tuesday, the Times is reporting, 89 people in one court were declared absent and therefore deportable. "And that is not because they were 'the worst of the worst.' It is because they had a hearing scheduled that they were not able to attend for a variety of reasons," Willis stated.The administration's push comes amid broader upheaval in Trump's immigration strategy. The report notes that on Friday, a federal judge rejected the government's indefinite hold on asylum applications filed with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and on immigration applications from 39 countries where people had been unable to obtain green cards and citizenship. That ruling is not expected to significantly impact immigration court proceedings.
