 Biden-Harris make Roe V. Wade a 2024 ballot issue on Manassas campaign stop

(TSN- MANASSAS): Pres. Joe Biden was joined by Vice President Kamala Harris, First Lady Dr. Jill Biden, and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff at the Hylton Performing Arts Center on the campus of George Mason University in Manassas, VA on 1/23/24 to centralize abortion in his campaign for re-election. It was the first time the couples made a joint appearance on the campaign trial this year.

Recognizing that women carried him to a victory the first time, Biden said his likely rival Donald Trump "will find out" that women will show up to vote for reproductive freedom.

The event was held one day after Vice Pres. Harris kicked off a reproductive freedom tour in Wisconsin on the 51st anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Restoring the reversed abortion legislation has become a number one campaign priority. Should the Congress approve a federal ban on abortion he will veto it he said.

The leaders and their spouses all spoke out against abortion restrictions emphasizing it is a healthcare issue.

A Texas woman, Amanda Zurawski who spoke at the event also, was not seeking an abortion when an emergency called for one. She had gotten pregnant through invitro and her water broke in the second trimester. She went into septic shock and almost died after being refused a medically necessary abortion. Her testimony meshed with the Biden team's healthcare being an aspect of an abortion being justified.

Pres. Biden directly blamed Donald Trump for the overturning of Roe v. Wade, noting he had appointed conservative judges to ensure it happened. If Congress ever passes a federal ban on abortion, Biden vowed that he would veto it.

  By Mona Austin One of the most eligible bacherlors in Christianity has tied the knot - Marvin Winans remarries After being single for almost 30 years, legendary gospel singer and Bishop Marvin L. Winans, Sr. has wed his long time girlfriend Deneen R. Carter. Carter is a 57-year-old physical therapist and minister at Perfecting Church in Detroit, founded by Winans. Little is known about the bride publicly. The gospel legend introduced the now Mrs. Winans as his fiance to the congregants of Perfecting in October of 2021. The couple had been in a relationship for 15 years. Pastor Winans was previously married to fellow gospel singer Vicki Winans (with whom he has two sons) for 16 years before they divorced in 1995. Held at the Colony Club in Detroit, MI, on April 22, the wedding was officiated by fellow COGIC Bishop Darrell Hines. "Let their lives be full of joy as they live according to your word," he prayed. If we are judging by floral count, this could be one of th...

The lesser known scandalous life of Frederick Douglass

buzzz worthy. . . By Mona Austin Much of what the average American knows about Frederick Douglass lies in the pages of "The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave."  His memory has lived on through the annals of history as a heroic abolitionist. A recent article revered Douglass  as "A king among men."  Note to The Atlantic writer who wrote those words in the article  Memo to the White House on the Contributions of Frederick Douglass  --  applying t hat very Biblical reference to Douglass is an overstatement.  The article was a response  to President Donald Trump saying at a White House "Listening Session " on Black History Month that   Douglass is  “an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job and is being recognized more and more, I notice.”  The Atlantic article was intended to show Mr.Trump and others who may be ignorant of his significance that Douglass was not on the sidelines of Bl...
