Just for the record, Nancy Pelosi is not dumb. Pelosi didn't get to be the second most powerful person in the U.S. by being dumb. As Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi has tremendous clout, and she uses it very effectively, unlike the last two Republican Speakers, John Boehner and Paul Ryan. Their own party ran them both out of Washington. That's because as leader of the House, Pelosi is the one individual who controls(legislation) what comes out of the House, she calls the shots and has the votes to pass legislation. President Trump can't get...

Fed up with the youth in the community harming and killing each other, Brandon Wilhite got fed up with seeing the same old pattern of two families suffering when a situation occurs and two lives are ruined(or more), fed up with hearing the statistics thrown at the male youth that looked like me that says either you or your friend or your friend's friend is going to either go to jail or die early. Wilhite got fed up of being reactive by doing stuff after another tragedy had happened while...

Gen 32:24 —26 "Then Jacob was left alone; and a Man wrestled with him until the breaking of day. Now when He saw that He did not prevail against him, He touched the socket of his hip; and the socket of Jacob's hip was out of joint as He wrestled with him. And He said, “Let Me go, for the day breaks. “But he said, “I will not let You go unless You bless me!”" Beloved persistence overcomes resistance. Now that you have "gotten hold of the Lord" don't let Him go unless He Blesses you. KEEP HOLD...
We hear and see the pride that exists in the United States of America. The leaders and its people are very proud, even to the point of haughtiness. In their pride, they use God's name in vain and promote the things of Satan by lying and teaching hate amongst the citizens. Forwardness is in their hearts and they devise mischief continually and they sow discord. (Proverbs 6:14) Many wear clothing that reveal their private parts, thus promoting their lustful flesh. Spouses are leaving their families at an alarming rate running after strange...
My grandmother Irma Hall DeTiege was a huge advocate for voting because she grew up in an era where elections meant life or death for some Louisianans who were low on the totem pole. I have read many of her articles, and a common theme she often wrote about was political issues, encouraging people to get out and vote. Although she is no longer here, I now carry the torch, sharing the same desire to remind Monroe Dispatch readers of the importance of their vote. A sad truth we must face is although time has passed, positive change is still hard...

That's what military service is founded upon. It seems sweeter when coated with patriotism and a little easier to bear when a few benefits are added. But the bottom line is sacrifice. Untold sacrifices. Like those ambushed at Fort Hood recently, or the soldier in Afghanistan who returned to New Orleans yesterday from the battlefield to bury his 7-year old daughter who was killed by a stray bullet. Like the hundreds of old veterans still on the battlefield of their minds, still fighting, still...

Election results from the October 12, 2019 election show that only 41% of eligible voters in Ouachita Parish voted. If you drill down further, you will see that 46% of eligible white voters and 33% of eligible black voters voted. A 46% turnout is not acceptable. Further, a 33% turnout is embarrassing. The 15th Amendment of the Constitution protects the rights of Americans to vote. But you know the stories. African Americans suffered intimidation, harassment, and physical violence (remember the...
I once rejected God in my life Said, "Jesus never died for me" Did'nt believe in all His sacrifice That He hung, bled and died on a tree. But, the winds of my life were blowing And, knocked me right on down to my knees The tears from my eyes were flowing And, there was nobody to comfort me. So, I called on the name of Jesus There is no other help I know That is willing and able to reach us When our life is headed down below. The power of the blood That ran down Mary's baby's face Showed me...
