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.

The Big GOP Walkout
The Big GOP Walkout is coming just as the sun rises in the East and Sets in the West. The five GOP members appointed by the minority leader, Kevin McCarthy, voted against the impeachment of President Trump both times when the empirical evidence was clear and convening that he was a chronic habitual liar, and had broken every time-honored established Presidential protocol. Moreover, these five individuals agreed with the Big Lie-Big Steal that the Presidential election of Biden was fraudulent, and they still believed the lie. Sadly, these five GOP House Representatives voted against a (911) style commission to investigate the origin and organizers of an overthrow of the U. S. Government.
No doubt about it, they will “walk-out” screaming ungodly accusations that the investigation is a biased witch-hunt designed to discredit former President Trump, and to steal 2022 House and Senate elections. America, get ready, get ready, get ready. The big walk out will be a national fundraising strategy oriented toward a “Get Out the Vote Campaign”, and at the same time, designed to protect the good name of former 45th President. Question: what good name? It is written: “A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour than silver or gold.” At the same time, the world knows that former President Trump has committed despicable immoral acts for the love of money. Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary most individuals believe that money solves all problems and brings happiness, but it is written: “The love of money is the root of all evil:” Christian Right Evangelicals was once called the moral majority. Now, they have become faithful workers of iniquity seeking to substitute one sin for another sin; when it is all sin, and an abomination to God. Someone please inform GOP Loyalists that: “The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish.”
There is a way that may seem right to the GOP, and offer different options, but the end thereof will be the demise of the Grand Ole Party. Thus, the GOP must clearly understand that every individual must give an account of himself to God: “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that everyone may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.” When a national political party has no democratic governing strategies or policies, and at the same time, espouses evil conspiracy theories concerning the foundational cornerstone of democracy, which is voting rights. Hence, the constitutional structure of American society is weakened, and the constitution is undermined. All great nations fall from internal spiritual immoral chaos. Thus, GOP members of the congressional January 6th, 2021 committee will create a false narrative for staging a “walk-out”. Take heed, GOP: “Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.” (Proverbs 14: 34).
