The last time we heard anything about the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Secretary Ben Carson, he was trying to get some blinged-out furniture for his office. It wasn’t on some Paul Manafort ostrich skin-level shit, but Ben was definitely trying to hype his office on some Diddy-esque executive swag.
Even before the President nominated Ben Carson to serve as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, many, including Carson, raised questions about his qualifications to lead a federal agency. However, after 16 months on the job, Carson’s inability to abide by ethical guidelines has undermined his work at HUD even…
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson, aka “Dr. Ben Carson,” aka “Breakfront,” aka “Mumbles,” aka “Solo,” is under fire again: A housing-rights group plans to file a federal lawsuit against him and his department for suspending an Obama-era rule that required those developments…
The more conspiracy sober-minded among us saw this coming a mile away—even if we had on Ben Carson’s thick glasses.
First it was reported that Ben Carson, secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and his wife, Candy, were out here balling without a budget, buying some $31,000 of dining room furniture that included a breakfront china cabinet—because nothing says old bougie blackness like a breakfront china…
I would love to say that neurosurgeon-turned-head of the Department of Housing and Urban Development Ben “Mumbles” Carson is merely following in the lying tradition established by the Trump administration, but Mumbles was a liar long before joining the ranks of the White House elite.
Ben “Mumbles” Carson didn’t want to be secretary of housing and urban development, and when he was offered the job, he should have turned it down. Instead, the highly decorated neurosurgeon is operating in full public view, and he’s a damn mess. He’s worse than a mess; he’s a mess wrapped inside an atrocity that has…
So remember how it came out that Ben Carson’s wife, Candy, had bullied staff at the Department of Housing and Urban Development into purchasing a $31,000 dining set? And remember how, when he was asked about it, Carson said he didn’t see the problem and he wasn’t going to return it? Well, it turns out that the House…
Remember way, way, way, way, way back when Love & Hip Hop: New York was centered on Peter Gunz and his revolving sister wives? And way, way, way, way, way back before then, when Erica Mena was still on the show and hurling wine flutes like ninja stars at Rich Dollaz’ neck? And way, way, way, way, way back before…
While Ben Carson was busy refusing to answer Texas Democratic Rep. Al Green’s question about proposed Department of Housing and Urban Development budget cuts, Carson’s office was being redecorated with a brand-new $31,000 dining room set.

Well, Housing and Urban Development official Lynne Patton tried it with White House reporter April Ryan. And realized way too late that Ryan is really not the one.
Before a Wednesday Cabinet meeting, the Grinch Who Stole the Middle Class’s Christmas informed the members of the press that they should stay for a few minutes to join Snow White Supremacist and the Seven Demons in prayer. Led by the successful surgeon, failed dick-stabber, and Secretary of Housing and Urban…
For someone who went to school for as many years as Ben Carson did to become a neurosurgeon, he sure is an idiot. He says a lot of incredibly dumb things, and this latest is no exception. Carson said Wednesday that it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t have any experience in housing policy, and that anyone who questions his…
As the waters recede in parts of Houston, Beaumont, Port Arthur and other areas of Texas impacted by the horrific Hurricane Harvey, the agony of recovery efforts has begun.
Hello, may I speak to Ben? Ben, this is Herman. I know you don’t know me, but I thought I’d give you a call because I understand what you are going through. I know what it’s like to be called a house Negro because they call me a house Negro, too, and if being like the rest of these darkies is the only way to get rid…
I’ve tried very, very, very hard over these past few years, but I just can’t muster much anger toward Ben Carson for the ridiculous and dangerous things he says. Perhaps because he carries himself like a man who goes to Home Depot for the ambience and spends his days saying things like, “I have a wide foot, so I…
Editor’s note: We revised this post after Sen. Cory Booker’s representatives contacted us to say that T-Bone is a real person.

The woman who has fueled Islamophobia, railed against the mythical encroachment of Shariah law and gone on national TV to disparage a 14-year-old student for having the gall to build a clock while being Muslim, has been hired by the Trump administration and noted dick stabber Ben Carson to work in the Department of…
