Oct. 17, 2022, Bloomberg posted a story with this headline: “Forecast for US Recession Within Year Hits 100% in Blow to Biden.” “A US recession is effectively certain in the next 12 months in new Bloomberg Economics model projections, a blow to President Joe Biden’s economic messaging ahead of the November midterms,” wrote Bloomberg. “The latest recession probability models by Bloomberg economists Anna Wong and Eliza Winger forecast a higher recession probability across all timeframes, with the 12-month estimate of a downturn by October 2023 hitting 100%, up from 65% for the comparable period in the previous update.”Thursday was the two-year anniversary of that story, and guess what didn’t happen? There’s been no recession.

Trump laced into Vice President Kamala Harris and other Democrats in a pointed and at times bitter speech as he headlined the annual Al Smith charity dinner in New York.

With three weeks left in the 2024 presidential campaign, Republican nominee Donald Trump’s message is getting darker, more racist, and increasingly authoritarian. But even if most Americans are understandably tired of his divisive, dangerous rhetoric, we cannot succumb to Trump fatigue and tune out just yet—because our democracy is at stake.On Sunday, Trump told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo that “the enemy from within” is an even bigger problem than migrants coming into the United States. Who is this nebulous “enemy,” you ask? “Very bad people, sick people, radical left lunatics,” according to Trump, that could “be easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military.”Trump’s 2016 opponent, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, called Trump’s musings “blatantly fascist” in a post on X. “All the warning lights for our democracy are flashing red,” Clinton tweeted, encouraging voters to take him seriously and beat him by turning out to vote.

This week, Black Music Sunday falls on the fourth anniversary of the death of singer, songwriter, and actor Johnny Nash. Best known for the chart-topping hit “I Can See Clearly Now,” which was recorded in London in 1971 and released in 1972, Nash also played a key role in the development of reggae. Most folks wouldn’t associate reggae with a Texan, instead associating the genre with the island nation of Jamaica, and popular Jamaican reggae artists like Toots and the Maytals or Bob Marley and The Wailers. Yet Nash was not Jamaican, nor of Jamaican ancestry—he was born in 1940 in Houston, Texas.And while his biggest hit may not be considered “strictly” reggae, it has been covered by multiple reggae artists, along with musicians from other genres, including R&B and pop.”Black Music Sunday” is a weekly series highlighting all things Black music, with over 230 stories covering performers, genres, history, and more, each featuring its own vibrant soundtrack. I hope you’ll find some familiar tunes and perhaps an introduction to something new.
