‘From Picking Cotton To Picking Presidents’ Detroit Pastor Goes Viral For Impassioned Speech About Election [Video]

As we await the results of the 2020 Presidential Election, a Detroit Pastor’s wise words are picking up steam on social media.
Rev. Dr. Steve Bland Jr., the senior pastor of Detroit’s Liberty Baptist Church, was spotted outside of the Detroit Convention Center where chaos was ensuing as a group of pro-Trump protesters aggressively demanded that poll workers stop counting absentee ballots.
As pointed out by NewsOne, the Deplorable Devotees were CERTAIN that fraudulent activity is pushing their “President” out of the White House instead of his gross inadequacy as Commander In Chief. With that, the delusional “stop the count” crew engaged in sycophantic behavior on Trump’s behalf and caused vote-counters to scramble to cover glass windows with pizza boxes so they could continue their counting.
Even as the drama ensued inside, MSNBC found a very calm Rev. Dr. Bland who was working as a “poll chaplain” outside of the convention center. After removing his mask so he could share his thoughts, the church leader made things plain.
“We are in the process of getting all the votes counted,” said the Reverend. “The road of victory of any side is going to come through Michigan and through Detroit. And to stop the votes is to stop the very democracy that these persons are running to elect to uphold. So we want every vote to count because our vote is our voice and it will be counted, and the election process will be done.”
He then ended with this bar about the “stop the count” protestors and the black vote in particular.
“These are persons who are passionate and they are consistent. They’ve been saying all along they’re going to suggest that’s its rigged, it’s flawed or fake, they’ve been saying that before now. We just need to be persistent, to make sure our voice gets counted because as goes Detroit, will be done so. And I will say, the Black vote in Detroit is higher than it’s ever been, and we will determine the outcome because we’ve gone from picking cotton to picking presidents.”
A M E N?!
As it turns out, of course, the Good Reverend was right. Michigan went to Biden, marking the third state that Cheeto In Chief carried in 2016 that Biden successfully flipped.
Won’t he do it?!
What do YOU think about the Good Reverend’s “From Picking Cotton to Picking Presidents” speech???

Queen Bey – Beyoncé Shatters Records With Her Unprecedented 2025 Grammy Nominations
Beyoncé is once again making headlines. After dominating the music scene, blazing through a record-breaking “Renaissance” tour, and launching a successful whiskey brand, SirDavis, weren’t enough, she’s now rewriting history at the Grammy Awards. In March, she took the world by storm with her eighth studio album release, COWBOY CARTER, which continues to echo across the charts. This year, the superstar has earned a stunning 11 Grammy nominations, setting a new record as the female artist who has ever received the most nominations in a single year. Once again, Beyoncé has firmly redefined what it means to be a trailblazer in the music industry, proving there are no limits to what she can achieve.
The 11 nods mark a new personal best for Beyoncé, who previously shared the long-standing record with Lauryn Hill at 10 nominations apiece. Hill achieved the feat in 1999, and Beyoncé first met that mark in 2010. The sheer range speaks volumes about her artistic versatility, relentless ambition, and unmatched status in the music industry. But with 2025 nominations, Beyoncé genuinely shines brightly in major categories like Record of the Year, Album of the Year, and Best Pop Solo Performance. Queen Bey’s fierce presence reinforces her iconic status in music in a highly competitive Grammy race that includes powerhouses like Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar, and Billie Eilish.
This news arrives at an exciting time amidst swirling controversy. Despite COWBOY CARTER’s undeniable genre-bending success and Beyoncé’s well-received pivot into country influences, she was left out this year at the Country Music Awards and the People’s Choice Country Awards. With 17 nominations at the PCCAs, she walked away empty-handed, raising eyebrows across the industry. While Beyoncé soars on the Grammy stage, she’s faced notable snubs in the country music realm. A legend of the genre, Dolly Parton even commented on the snub in an interview with Variety, reflecting, “There’s so many wonderful country artists that, I guess probably are in the country music field, they probably thought, well, we can’t really leave out some of the ones that spend their whole life doing that.”
But for Beyoncé, this year’s Grammy nods are more than a consolation prize; they validate her impact. As she heads into Grammy season with 11 nominations, it’s clear that while the country music world might still be playing catch-up, the Grammys recognize Beyoncé’s immense talent. For enthusiasts and music lovers globally, one thing is sure: Beyoncé isn’t just making history. She’s actively reshaping it. Her work demonstrates that there are no limits within her sphere and that records are not intended to endure; instead, they are designed to be rewritten. Consequently, according to her vision and standards, she possesses the ability and intent to continue influencing the music industry.
