October 16, 2023, HOUSTON, TX – Congressional Candidate Amanda Edwards has raised over $1 million in less than 4 months, a substantial sum that helps bolster the frontrunner status of the former At-Large Houston City Council Member in her bid for U.S. Congress. Edwards raised over $433,000 in Q3 of 2023. This strong Q3 report expands on a successful Q2 where Edwards announced just 11 days after declaring her candidacy that she had raised over $600,000. With over $829,000 in cash-on-hand at the end of the September 30th financial reporting period, Edwards proves again that she is the clear frontrunner in the race. “I am beyond grateful for the strong outpouring of support that will help me to win this race and serve the incredible people of the 18th Congressional District,” said Edwards. “We are at a critical juncture in our nation’s trajectory, and we need to send servant leaders to Congress who can deliver the results the community deserves. The strong support from our supporters will help us to cultivate an 18th Congressional District where everyone in it can thrive.” Edwards said. “Amanda understands the challenges that the hard-working folks of the 18th Congressional District face because she has never lost sight of who she is or where she comes from; she was born and raised right here in the 18th Congressional District of Houston,” said Kathryn McNiel, spokesperson for Edwards’ campaign. Edwards has been endorsed by Higher Heights PAC, Collective PAC, Krimson PAC, and the Brady PAC. She has also been supported by Beto O’Rourke, among many others.

As September 13th rolls around, we extend our warmest birthday wishes to the creative powerhouse, Tyler Perry, a man whose indomitable spirit and groundbreaking work have left an indelible mark on the world of entertainment. With his multifaceted talents as an actor, playwright, screenwriter, producer, and director, Tyler Perry has not only entertained but also inspired audiences worldwide, particularly within the African-American community, where his influence and role have been nothing short of powerful. Born in New Orleans, Louisiana, in 1969, Tyler Perry’s journey to stardom was a path riddled with adversity. Raised in a turbulent household, he found refuge in writing, using it as a therapeutic outlet. This period of introspection gave rise to one of his most iconic creations, Madea, a vivacious, no-nonsense grandmother who would later become a beloved figure in Perry’s works, offering a unique blend of humor and profound life lessons. Despite facing numerous challenges, including rejection and financial struggles, Perry’s determination and unwavering belief in his abilities propelled him forward. In 1992, he staged his first play, “I Know I’ve Been Changed,” which, although met with limited success, was a pivotal moment in his career. Unfazed by initial setbacks, Perry continued to hone his craft, and by 1998, he had successfully produced a string of stage plays that showcased his storytelling prowess.

God’s System: World’s System
God’s system is established upon the universal dimension in humanity. The world’s system is based upon the principle of cultural tribalism. This is why individuals who operate solely based upon God’s system can overcome evil with good, because: “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.” Individuals, who operate solely based upon the world’s system of greed, invariably believe in the principle of pay back or tit for tat. Question: can America live in the light of God and by the tenets of the Preamble and the U. S. constitution? The answer is obviously an absolute NO, because too many generations of White Privilege oriented individuals have a desire to exclude some Americans based upon skin-color. Ask Native American Indians. Can America move forward in the light of democracy rather than autocracy? Unfortunately, America is experiencing an internal conflict based upon the old south versus the new south. This is why Southern Democrats were able to hi-jack the GOP, and Former President Trump was able to hi-jack the GOP for TRUMPISM, and exposed the immoral non-intellectual corrupt character of the Grand Ole Party. Shamefully, some White Democrats have been straddling the fence concerning right and wrong: case in point Senators Manchin and Sinema.
No doubt about it, it is come to JESUS TIME in America, because the very soul of the nation is at stake. White children have been receiving too many mixed-messages from their family and church environments concerning good and evil. Consequently, mass confusion and evil is running rampant in American society. Question: now that we know the state of affairs in American society; what are we going to do? Blacks and minorities must pray without ceasing for the majestic glory of God, and we will see a change. Even though, we do not have a monopoly on God we do have a spiritual relationship with God, because we have come this far by FAITH. Formal education has its rightful place; but is not a substitute for Christian values, because you can graduate from Yale Law School, and still become a seditionist fool; therefore: “Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.” (Proverbs 26: 4). Fools remain fools whether they are answered or not answered!
When fools profess to speak fairly do not believe them, because they have seven abominations in their hearts. This is why the Federal government must make lasting spiritual examples of the Seditionists that sought to overthrow the U. S. Government on January 6th, 2021. America, what kind of government do you want: Universal Democracy or White Privilege Autocracy? Democracy is not clicking on all cylinders in America, and Autocracy is definitely not working in Russia and its overwhelmingly White. God spoke these spiritual words of inspiration to the wisest leader (King Solomon) to have ever lived: “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7: 14). America, get right with GOD. Amen!
