 HARRIS PRESENTS HER VP PICK IN PHILADELPHIA

By Mona Austin
Vice Pres. Kamala Harris and the man she chose the be her running mate, Minnesotta Governor Tim Walz entered the arena to uproarious applause on Tuesday in Philadelphia. In a historic first, a woman introduced a man to be her partner in leadership of the United States.
Harris painted a portrait of a man who has served well in many traditional male leadership roles - military NCO, football coach and Governor. Walz was presented as a likeable, battle-tested "all-American" with a Midwestern temperament.
Politically, he is liberal but is also appealing to a cross section of the country due to his career experience and relatable image.
Although they are from opposite corners of the country she said they share the same values.
The Vice president also spoke of the common ground Americans share and sought to spread unity across the country.
Harris-Walz 2024 spokesperson James Singer issued the following statement:
“Yesterday, Vice President Harris and Governor Walz offered America a brighter future united around joy and love of country. The Harris-Walz campaign is focused on building a stronger middle class, fighting for our freedoms, and protecting our rights.
“On Fox News this morning, criminal Donald Trump rambled, lied, and offered America nothing but chaos, hate and anger – the polar opposite of what we saw in Philadelphia last night. We aren’t surprised Trump wouldn’t show his face, he’s ashamed of his dangerous Project 2025 agenda, is afraid to debate, and has no positive vision to present to the American people.”
Quotes Harris' remarks follow...
“And we see in our fellow Americans neighbors, never enemies.
“My promise to you is this: our campaign will reach out to everyone.
...From red states to blue states...From the heartland to the coasts.
“We are running a campaign on behalf of All Americans.
“And if elected, we will govern on behalf of all Americans.”

  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...
