Praise God!! It’s good to know that God is in charge, and that he is the true judge, jury, and executioner, of man, and all of creation throughout the universe.

In response to God’s will for democratic victories, the demons of evil and darkness have launched an uprising in def...
Yes, God knows we (Black people) can attest, and point to infinite racial, discriminatory, inequality, injustices, stumbling blocks, barriers, hindrances, and deterrents that have been exercised here in our local area, as well as nationwide by local, state and federal governments, the labor markets, the criminal justice system, and numerous other systems and institutions, public and private, against Black Americans. The above mentioned is respected as what others have easily done to us. However, there is more than just one side to everything....
If only Black citizens, voters, and taxpayers, realized and would utilize the awesome political and economic powers God has granted them here in Monroe, Richwood, and Ouachita Parish, they could demand and receive all of the governmental and private sector representation they rightfully deserve. The keys to the success of total Black advancement is self-empowerment, through Black votes and money. In the city of Monroe, and town of Richwood, Black citizens are the overwhelming registered voters, and can determine who is elected to office to...
If black citizens, voters, and taxpayers, wonder why Black elected officials such as Black mayors, and older persons, police jurors, school board members, State/ Federal senators and representatives, etc., deliver little, or no true, meaningful, measurable, and needed to projects, developments, improvements, money, resources, services or other tangible needs, walks, and representation to their Black constituents, and a predominately Black districts and communities/ areas they are elected to serve, it is because they developed no strategic,...

The greatest mistake, error, or flaw black citizens have when it comes to the local, state and national political arena, is that what they help elect people to office they don’t follow up with holding them responsible for providing true, meaningful, effective, efficient, and tangible, measurable, representation.

No one knows when they will be born, nor when God will call you home. That's why we must be so thankful to God or allowing us to live and do our best to enjoy life to the fullest. God has called home my best friend from elementary school (Swayze) to the current day, Mr. Don Zimmerman. It (friendship) began in the fourth grade. I lived on Atkinson Street, and Don lived on Morton Street in the Bryant's Addition neighborhood just a few city blocks from each other. One day, John built a cardboard...
We/mankind give God thanks and praise in many forms and ceremonies, customs, traditions, norms, folkways, beliefs and rituals, so, it should be appropriate to give God a generous hand of applause, and a lengthy standing ovation.

Black people let us all bow our hearts and minds to God for the protection, direction, care, blessings, joy, happiness, hope, pleasures, and advancements He has provided us. Also, for the challenges, trials, and...

Elected officials sometime use labels to justify and hide their conscious and heartfelt actions, that positively or negatively affect the lives and well-being of the American people. Whether democrat, republican, independent, or others, each elected official’s actions, or l...
There is a stark comparative difference of daylight and darkness between black and white races in America, which is reflected and manifested through the actions beliefs and history attributed to both races in the world. Of course the differences between blacks and whites are not solely exclusive to each race, as both to slight degrees exhibit some of the same attributes, but as a matter of balance on the scale of truth, reality and justice, both are unique in the path they have displayed in life. As a preference in obedience to God’s c...
God loves the truth and the light. The American National Anthem, flag and claims of freedom and justice do not have the same symbolism for all Americans. Certainly not for black Americans and other minorities, the poor and downtrodden. White Americans appear to be America’s preference for privilege. Other Americans are, by virtue, considered to be second class citizens. Therefore, the emphasis, loyalty, devotion, worship and praise directed toward the Anthem and flag take on quite a different perspective according to what category one falls in...
