not been timid about pursuing legislation he feels will
benefit his own constituents
or make pubic service on
the commission, as a whole,
a far more transparent endeavor. Jacksons efforts
have included reducing the
travel budgets for individual
commissioners as well as
changing policies concerning their retirement benefits. On several occasions
Commissioner Jackson has

stressed that these and other

future issues were what
campaign
supporters
wanted to see addressed.
During Mondays Work
Session Meeting Commissioner Jackson authored Ordinance No. 5567 of 2016,

calling for the preservation

of properties in and around
the Hamilton Terrace neighborhood where Willis
Knighton is the lead developer on a project focusing
on the update of Doctors
Hospital. Specifically he is

calling for the Parish to take

full ownership of 10 adjudicated properties in the
vicinity, taking them off the
public bid sale listing, for
economic development interests. He also stated that
the project has the potential

to bring 300 jobs through

millions of dollars of investment. Commissioner Jackson said he wanted to help
this development by avoiding unnecessary roadblocks,
in the form of adjudicated

properties controlled by
outside interests that could
harm the overall project.
It will be difficult for
Willis Knighton to do anything with it because these
adjudicated properties are

The Tuskegee Airmen

will host a celebration
March 22 marking the 75th
anniversary of the inauguration of the U.S. Army Air
Corps
99th
Pursuit
Squadron in Tuskegee, Alabama on March 22, 1941.
The Tuskegee Airmen
were the African-American
fighter pilots in World War
II. They fought the Nazis in
Europe during air combat
missions. After they left the
service, they fought white
racists when they returned
to the United States.
The event will honor pilots, nurses, mechanics,
ground crew, air traffic controllers, meteorologists, stenographers, and other
support personnel who saw
activation of the first combat aviation unit at
Tuskegee and other locations. The most famous
members of the group were
the pilots who flew Curtiss
P-40 War Hawks with distinctive red tails. The planes
were known as Red Tails.
Tuskegee Airmen Foundation officials noted that
this might be the last time to
honor the remaining documented Tuskegee airmen
who are still alive.
The event will also kickoff a $75 million 10-year

Commission to consider new data

regarding Dawson Road flooding

Residents on Dawson Road were once again plagued by the devastating effects associated with flash floods that
dominated the forecast for most of last week across major portions of the northwestern part of the state. Reports
from residents indicated that they were either unable to leave their homes, or not able to get into their homes in
because of the one way road that has historically plagued the neighborhood. Residents appeared before the Caddo
Parish Commission on Monday, during the public comments section, asking for some type of relief. District 12
Commissioner Kenneth Epperson wants to discuss a new feasibility study regarding the issue, broken down by
members of the Parishs Public Works Department.

Caddo looks to be included

in disaster declaration
Sheriff Steve Prator expects Caddo Parish to be included
in
a
future
declaration that will open
doors to federal aid for
flood recovery efforts.
On Sunday, President
Barack Obama declared a
major disaster exists in
Louisiana and ordered federal aid to supplement state
and local recovery efforts in
areas affected by severe
storms and flooding. Seven
parishes were included in
the initial announcement.
Damage surveys are continuing and more parishes and
additional forms of assis-

tance are expected to be

designated after the assessments are complete.
Our application is complete and has been submitted, and we look to be
included very soon, the
Sheriff said.
In the meantime, citizens
who would like to begin the
recovery process with
FEMA can register in advance, either at the FEMA
website, www.disasterassistance.gov, or by phone at 1800-621-3362.
So far, 250 residential addresses have self-reported
damages to the Caddo Of-

fice of Homeland Security

and Emergency Preparedness at 675-2255 or reportdamages@caddosheriff.org.
Those who have not reported water in their homes
yet are urged to do so as
soon as possible.
Citizens who would to
volunteer or need information on services available to
those affected by flooding,
go to www.lincc.us. Citizens impacted by flooding
can use the website to locate
food pantries, clothing,
baby items, showers, laundry, and help with clean up.

Joe R. Wills
Joe R. Wills was a vision
maker. His commitment to
the improvement and betterment of his fellow man
and community spanned
in excess of fifty (50) years
and continued unto the
date of his death Friday,
March 11th in the Willis
Knighton Medical Center
at Pierremont.
Like so many of his generation, Wills was marked
irrevocably by the place
and time of his birth. Born
and reared in the City of
Shreveport in the neighborhood known as Stoner
Hill, Wills became a community leader and political
activist as a young man
upon his gradation from
Booker T. Washington
High School. Because of
his involvement, Wills was
affectionately dubbed the
Mayor of Stoner Hill.
Wills developed an outstanding reputation as a
community builder and activist and as Mayor of
Stoner Hill, among other
political and community
activities; he fought for and
successfully gained paved
streets in the neighborhood. He later fought for
and gained the renaming
of one neighborhood
school for the well respected educator, E.B.
Williams and the renaming
of one major street in
Stoner Hill honoring a well
respected Pastor, Rev.

C.E. Galloway. Wills did

not seek to make a racial
issue of the opposition by
city leaders to the name
changes, but noted that
several streets and main
arteries in the City of
Shreveport had been renamed honoring prominent white citizens of the
City.
As a vision maker, social, political and civil rights
maverick, Wills always
stood on his well honored
principle to do whats right
and demanded nor accepted no less of others.
When he saw wrong and
an injustice, he fought and
acted against that wrong
and injustice. As president
of the East Side Brotherhood Association, Wills
consistently appeared before various legislative
bodies and demanded that
the rights of African American citizens be protected
or that an adverse situation affecting the minority
community be corrected.
As one of the incorporators and later president of
the political organizations,
Blacks United For Lasting
Leadership (BULL), Wills,
with organization fought
for and gained the
changes in the form of

government for the City of

Shreveport and Parish of
Caddo, thereby assuring
the rights of Black citizens
to elect governmental officials of their choosing from
clearly defined single
member district lines, including, but not limited to
the city council and parish
commission.
As an employee of
AT&T, Wills became actively involved with the
union and served on its
executive board. In that
position, he fought for and
gained better working conditions and benefits for his
fellow employees.
Lloyd Thompson, president of the Shreveport
Branch NAACP states that
Wills, as first vice-president of the Branch, has
served with integrity and
courage and has always
been one of his closest advisors.
Wills, married for nearly
53 years to the love of his
life, Shirley, was the father
of two children, grandfather of five, the brother of
two sisters and one
brother, an uncle, cousin,
and enjoyed a number of
relatives as well as a host
of friends. (Advt.)

Former locals to appear on national TV

Reginald & Tosha Stumon

Reginald Demond Stumon and Tosha Robinson

Stumon, former residents of
Shreveport, will appear as
special guests in a segment
of the talk show "FAB
LIFE," an ABC network
show that will air March 18
(Check local TV listings for
scheduled time).
Tyra Banks is executive
producer of FAB Life,
which stands for Fabulous
and Beautiful; along with
show hosts Chrissy Teigan,
Joe McGee, Leah Ashley,
and Lauren Makk. The
show demonstrates how to
be creative in Beauty, DIY,
Interior Design, Fashion,
and more. Reginald and
Tosha reside in Los Angeles, CA.

They fought for integration, equal education and

voter registration. There
were Freedom Rides, a
March on Washington and
mayhem on Selma s Edmund Pettus Bridge. There
were sit-ins, brutal attacks
and stands against violence.
In the end, freedom was
achieved at least in part.
There is no question that
the Civil Rights Movement
was a defining time in
American history ... said
Marc Morial, CEO of the
National Urban League. It
significantly changed the
landscape of the country. It
has been chronicled in
countless news stories and
books. Most people who
participated, watched it unfold, or learned about it
later agree that it was the
seminal protest crusade in
U.S. history.
But they disagree on
when it started, when it
ended and how it should be
identified: Was it the civil
rights movement or the
Civil Rights Movement?
Sixty years after the Montgomery Bus Boycott, the
story of the Civil Rights
Movement still is being
written, historians and activists say. Some consider it
a historic era. They believe
that referring to the movement informally or generally in the lowercase
minimizes its importance.
One-hundred years from
now, Civil Rights Movement will indicate that
something
monumental
happened. But others say
the movement was a series
of events that started when
enslaved people began to
run away soon after the
first ships delivered their
human cargo and the
abolitionists
demanded
their freedom, said Library
of Congress historian Adrienne Cannon. The thinking
is that it s a civil rights
struggle, and that it extends
over a period of centuries
and has different phases to
it, Cannon said. That s
much different from the
more standard chronological paradigm.
Dr.
Khalil
Gibran
Muhammad, director of the
Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in
Harlem, agreed. One of the
challenges with capitalizing
it is determining when it
began and ended, Muhammad said. Historians dont
agree on that. The question

then becomes: When was

the Civil Rights Movement?
Dorie Ladner, a Student
Nonviolent Coordinating
Committee (SNCC) member who was with Medgar
Evers just hours before his
assassination in Mississippi
in 1963, said invoking the
movement informally trivializes the struggle. It
doesn t matter when you
think it started with the
Dred Scott decision in
1857, when the Supreme
Court decided that a black
person wasnt t a whole person, or with the court s decision in the Brown school
desegregation case in 1954
it should be referred to
with capital letters, said
Ladner, of Washington,
D.C.
University of California,
Riverside history professor
V.P. Franklin, editor of the
Journal of African American History, said he and
the Journal use the formal
reference. The Journal was
founded by black historian
Carter G. Woodson in 1915.
Franklin said the movement
spanned from the Brown
case to the founding of the
Black Panther Party in
1966, and was characterized
by related social, political
and cultural activities.
There s an evolution
that goes from events to
campaigns to a movement,
Franklin said. A movement, such as the Civil
Rights Movement, is an historic era, the same as the
Progressive Movement and
the Women s Liberation
Movement.
Many publications and
websites geared to black audiences, such as Black Enterprise and Ebony, follow

the Journal s example. Not

so, for many mainstream
publications. The Associated Press spokesman Paul
Colford said via email that
the news agency, the style
guide for many news organizations, follows Webster s
example. Merriam-Webster
editor Peter Sokolowski
said the company make(s)
every attempt to reflect actual current usage.
A quick check on the
phrase civil rights movement shows that lower-case
styling is overwhelmingly
preferred by newspapers
and magazines including
the AP, The New York
Times ... the Chicago Tribune, The Philadelphia Inquirer and The Guardian,
he said. Professor Franklin
said historians ultimately
will decide how to record
the Civil Rights Movement.
He said the mainstream
media often are slow to update references to blacks.
A lot of publications
have changed it ... It s a
matter of pointing out to
them that using the lowercase is outdated and ... denigrating, he said. It s a
matter of putting pressure
on them to adopt it ...
Capital Press Club President Barbara Arnwine, former head of the Lawyers
Committee for Civil Rights,
said the magnitude of the
Civil Rights Movement has
yet to be measured. Show
me another era that had the
same impact that this one
had, she said. They were
responsible for the passage
of the Civil Rights Act of
1964 and the Voting Rights
Act of 1965. None of those
accomplishments would
have occurred had it not
been for that movement.

literally on the property
line, Jackson said. If you
bought a house and your
sidewalks were adjudicated
then it would make it hard
for you to do anything in
your area. Someone could
come out and give you trouble or a hard time. Some
folks say well just let them
(adjudicated properties) go
through the bid process.
Well if I want to be a jerk, I
could come in and run up
the bill making the project
more costly. So what this is
doing is preserving that
project or properties so that
this process can go forward. Commissioner Jackson also stated that the
process he is calling for will
not cost the parish anything
and that all of the leg work
can be done by in-house
staff.
He compared the Ordinance to the action taken by
the Commission previously
when they spent $7.5 Million on the GM Plant, citing

AND ARTICLES.
Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch forth her
hands unto God. Psalms 68:31.

by Marc H. Morial
via George Curry Media

America is addicted to incarceration.

No nation holds as many people behind bars as
the United States of America, and the numbers
tell it all. The United States imprisons 716 people
for every 100,000 residents. That is more than
any other country on this planet. Our nation has
the largest prison population in the world - both
in terms of the actual number of inmates and as a
percentage of the country's population. While the
United States has less than 5 percent of the
world's population, we lock up almost 25 percent
of the world's total prison population.
Well-meaning people will differ on the question
of whether America's war on crime has truly benefitted the American taxpayer, but because numbers don't lie, we cannot question the fact that our
criminal justice obsession with retribution - versus rehabilitation - has profited private prison operators in our nation's sprawling prison industrial
complex to the tune of billions of dollars.
The country's two largest private prison operators, Corrections Corporation of America and
GEO Group, recently posted their earnings. Combined, the two for-profit prison companies collected $361 million in profits last year. According
to In the Public Interest, a research and policy
center, CCA made $3,356 in profit for every person they incarcerated and GEO Group made
$2,135. Incarcerating Americans at the staggering
rate of one in every 110 adults has become a profitable business that promotes the bottom lines of
CEOs, but fails to promote effective public safety
strategy.
Research has shown that investing in social programs and education - resources that can help
keep people out of jail in the first place - is far
more effective at improving public safety than investing in incarceration. Policies that promote
prison over education, incarceration over mental
health services and jail over job services comes
at the long-term cost of our collective well-being
and safety.
Over the past four decades, state spending on
corrections has outpaced funding for public education, with states spending three times as much
on prisons than schools. Private prisons - which
began cropping up as an alternative for cashstrapped states attempting to save money by outsourcing the building and running of prisons to
private companies - are incentivized to keep cells
full at the lowest possible cost, not to keep cells
empty.
When every occupied bed represents a broken
family, communities torn apart, diminished future
job prospects, a potential loss of voting rights and
the increased risk of returning to crime, our nation's over-reliance on jails to combat our entrenched social ills - and the taxpayer money that
keeps the system thriving - should be re-routed
into education and the social institutions that
serve the public good and are aligned with public
safety goals.

mote new jobs. This is the

same process but it will cost
us nothing to do it. If someone comes to me with a
project in their area and I
think that it is something
that will help the area benefiting it in regards to jobs,
then I am going to support
it. I have no conflicts of interests with thisthis is
what is good development
and development within the
inner circle. I attended a
meting last week with the
North Shreveport Business
Association and it was
noted that one of the biggest
projects taking place right
now is at Doctors Hospital.
We know that this is going
to happen. We dont have to
hope and wait on somebody
out in California to develop.
We know that they are
going to do this. This will
help the whole corridor revitalize.
This is not my first time
dealing with the adjudication process, Commissioner Jackson said refuting

a notion at a previous meeting which implied that he

was working with Willis
Knighton to potentially
seek personal gain. If there
is a project specific to a municipality, and adjudicated
properties are within it, then
we have the option to sell.
We dont have to sell it to
them. We can always decline a sale.We want to
make sure that whatever is
going on complements the
area. We are not giving any
special treatment to anyone.
There is a project going on
and we want to see if we
can compliment it. Often
times we get a development
going on and folks go and
run up an adjudicated property now becoming a nuisance to that ongoing
project. Smart development
has to compliment each
other. If we have a million
dollar project in an area that
desperately needs it and its
in my district then I am
going to look out for it.
Parish Attorney Donna

Frazier advised the commission that the Ordinance

is in compliance with state
law. Frazier noted that once
the parish has the title to
the properties, the parish
will be accountable for any
maintenance and liability
issues until the property is
sold. Additionally she
noted that when the property is sold that it must be
done in consideration of the
market value of the property.
Commissioner Jackson
said that he spoke with
Willis Knightons project
director that same morning
and they were excited
about the potential partnership. He also stated that the
city has done similar
processors for the Robinson Film Center, SRAC
and Millennium Studios,
all in compliance of the law
fostering their development.
The ordinance will be
considered at Thursdays
regular session meeting.

instance, that we will somehow become accepted as
real Americans.
It will never happen.
Some Black folks tried that
after 9/11. It does not work.
We are still hated. It is the
revelation that the Adolph
Caesar character has at both
the beginning and end of
the classic film A Soldiers

Story, i.e., the game has

been rigged and masses of
Whites still hate us, even
when we get on our knees
and do everything that they
ask.
Donald Trump called for
the execution of five Black
men who were accused in
the Central Park brutal rape
of a white woman in 1989,
only for them to be exonerated. Trump calls for excluding and expelling
Mexicans for allegedly
bringing crime to the U.S.,
as if no other ethnic group
has ever been or is associ-

ated with crime. Trump

calls for banning Muslims
from entering the U.S. for
allegedly bringing terrorism despite the fact that
most terrorist attacks since
9/11 have been carried out
by white supremacists.
What am I missing? Is
there any reason to take
anyone who supports
Trump with any degree of
seriousness? I think not.

Republicans created 'Frankentrump' Monster

by George E. Curry
George Curry Media
Columnist
President Obama has seen
this horror movie before. His
political opponents not only
distorted his positions when he
first ran for president, but deliberately lied about his place
of birth, asserting that because
he - according to their fiction was not a U.S. citizen, he was
not qualified to be president.
Donald Trump, who actually
sent a private investigator to
Hawaii in an attempt to prove
that Obama was not born
there, is now the leading Republican presidential contender. And now that he is
eliminating his competitors
with the irresponsible language and Demolition Derbystyle tactics that he hurled at
Obama. Party leaders are in a
panic because it might cost
them this year's election.
Meanwhile, Obama is wondering why anyone is surprised.
"How can you be shocked?"
he asked in a speech to the
Democratic National Committee event in Austin, Texas.
"This is the guy, remember,
who was sure that I was born
in Kenya - who just wouldn't
let it go. And this same Republican establishment, they
weren't saying nothing. As
long as it was directed at me,
they were fine with it. They
thought it was a hoot, wanted

to get his endorsement. And

then now, suddenly, we're
shocked that there's gambling
going on in this establishment."
He explained, "So they can't
be surprised when somebody
suddenly looks and says, you
know what, I can do that even
better. I can make stuff up better than that. I can be more
outrageous than that. I can insult people even better than
that. I can be even more uncivil. I mean, conservative outlets have been feeding their
base constantly the notion that
everything is a disaster, that
everybody else is to blame,
that Obamacare is destroying
the country. And it doesn't
matter whether it's true or not.
It's not, we disagree with this
program, we think we can do
it better - it's, oh, this is a crisis!
"So if you don't care about
the facts, or the evidence, or
civility, in general in making
your arguments, you will end
up with candidates who will
say just about anything and do
just about anything."
Among those who didn't
"care about the facts" at the
time were former Republican
presidential nominees John
McCain, Mitt Romney and
Romney's running mate,
House Speaker Paul Ryan.
David Remnick, editor of
the New Yorker, described
Trump as an "American Demagogue" and said he is "the

America's incarceration addiction is devastating

wide swaths of already socially and economically
vulnerable communities. Statistically, African
Americans are incarcerated at nearly six times the
rate of Whites. Combined, African Americans
and Latinos represent well over 50 percent of our
national prison population.
Crime induced by a lack of opportunity cannot
be solved by punishment. Our current sentencing
policies and prisons have not proven themselves
capable of fixing mental illness, drug addiction,
homelessness or unemployment. They only hide
these pressing social issues from view. We must
decide, as a nation, if we are going to continue to
turn to blind, mass incarceration as a solution for
the problems in our society, or if we are going to
invest in individuals, not incarceration, and make
these private prisons obsolete.

beneficiary of a long process

of Republican intellectual
decadence."
He wrote, "Paul Ryan denounces Trump but not the Tea
Party rhetoric that propelled
his own political ascent. John
McCain holds Trump in contempt, but selected as his running mate Sarah Palin, the
Know-Nothing of Wasilla, one
of Trump's most vivid forerunners and supporters. Mitt
Romney last week righteously
slammed Trump as a 'phony'
and a misogynist, and yet in
2012 he embraced Trump's endorsement and praised his 'extraordinary' understanding of
economics."
Trump outmaneuvered the
Republican competition with
outright racist appeals that
would have derailed any other
candidate.
The Republican front-runner
has become a favorite of White
supremacists, largely by insulting women, "the blacks," Muslims, the physically disabled
while delivering one simpleminded message, according to
Ted Koppel: " 'We're gonna be
the best, we're gonna be the
greatest, I'm gonna negotiate
the best deals you've ever
seen.'"
Koppel explained, "There is
no substance in any of that,
and nobody among his followers seems to care about that."
As Sam Stein and Dana
Liebelson reported in The
Huffington Post, "Racial slurs,
nasty rhetoric and violence at
Trump rallies have become
commonplace against protesters, bystanders, and reporters.
Assaults are committed not
only by rowdy Trump fans, but
by the staff he employs to keep

the events safe. But rather than

denounce these incidents,
Trump is making them part of
his brand, and uses them to rev
up crowds.
There may be somebody
with tomatoes in the audience,'
Trump warned people at a
rally in Iowa last month. 'If
you see somebody getting
ready to throw a tomato, knock
the crap out of them, would
you? Seriously. Okay? Just
knock the hell - I promise you,
I will pay for the legal fees.
"Trump has even threatened
to personally get in on the action. 'I'd like to punch him in
the face, I'll tell ya,' he said of
a protester on Feb. 22."
Trump has become the Republican Party's Frankenstein
monster. In the horror movie,
Victor Frankenstein creates a
creature from the body parts of
the deceased. He discovers his
experiment has gone awry and
expects the creature to die, but
he doesn't. Once the creature is
rejected by society, he extracts
revenge by killing everyone
Frankenstein loves.
There is no doubt that the
person who has been referred
to as "Frankentrump" is killing
the Republican Party.
Historian Nina Turner said
on CNN, "It is ironic to me
that some of the same Republicans right now, some of them
who are calling out Mr.
Trump, did not call him out
when he pushed the birther
movement on our African
American President Barack
Obama. They were nowhere to
be found, they thought it was
cute. Now that it's plaguing
their house, it's not so cute
anymore."

AIRMEN

West Point named cadet

Davis, who retired as a

Questions to be answered
for voters before April 9
Port Tax Renewal Vote

Here is a list of questions

that the officials of the Port
of Caddo Bossier should
answer for voters before the
upcoming tax renewals.
The Port spends big bucks
with a local ad agency for
public relations, but Executive Director Eric England
is tight-lipped when asked
"hard questions" about the
internal operations of the
Port, much less the upcoming tax renewal. This list
was sent to England with a
request that he answer the
same; he has failed to respond to this email.
1. The 2.5 mil tax has
generated over $80 million
dollars in 21 years. How
has this money been spent
and why does the tax need
to be renewed?
2. The initial tax was approved in 1993 to 25
yearsit expires in 2018.
Why are you seeking a renewal now?
3. There was a presidential primary on this SaturdayMarch 5for Caddo
and Bossier. Why is the renewal the only issue on the
9 April ballot? Why did you
not utilize March 5 or on
Nov 8?
4. What will be the costs
to the Port from both
parishes for this referendum? Would these costs be
less if this was on a ballot
with other electionsif so,
how much less?
5. Is it true that all of the
2300 plus acres owned by
the Port is exempt from ad
valorem taxes to Bossier
and Caddo Parish? If so,
what is the amount of taxes
that have been lost to the respective Parishes by the
Port property since the acquisition of the various
tracts owned by the Port?
6. What is total rent revenue from the Ports 17 tenants? Please list per year all
rents received by Port since
opened.
7. The Port has 20 employees drawing almost $2
million per year; the highest
is Executive Director Eric
England with $275,000 per
year and the lowest is an
operator at $42,000 per
year. Are these salaries inflated?

8. The Port headquarters

cost in excess of $14 million and it houses less than
15 employeesthe others
work in other Port facilities.
What was the source of
these funds? Was this large
expenditure necessary to
house Port staff? The furnishing for this facility cost
in excess of $670,000; was
this large expenditure necessary for furnishing for 15
(or less) employees?
9. The Couples tract was
purchased from a prior Port
Commissioner for $2.64
million. Were any state
ethics problems from this
purchase? This tract is
zoned residential/agriculturecan this be used for
Port development with this
zoning? If not, why was it
purchased?
10. There are six homeowners on Harts Island
between Hwy 1 and Robson
Road. What plans does the
Port have to insulate these
property owners from
diminution of their property
values due to Port development? The couples tract is
directly
behind
these
homes.
(THESE QUESTIONS
HAVE BEEN SENT TO
ERIC ENGLAND; HE
HAS NOT ANSWERED
THEM.)
Once again voters of
Caddo, and this time
Bossier, are being asked to
renew a tax millage several
years before the expiration
and at a special elections
when voter turnout is expected to be minimal. Additionally public tax dollars
will be expended to "sell"
this proposal as well as pay
the costs of the special vote.
Caddo property owners pay
the highest taxes of anyone
in the state of Louisiana,
and this tax is just one of the
reasons the Caddo ad valorem rate is so high. Voters
should be fully informed on
how their tax dollars are
spent; hopefully Mr. England (who is paid with tax
dollars) will provide this
needed information for the
electorate.

Republican Party House on

Fire: Hate Attempts a Coup
Frontrunners Actions are Harming The Party, and Theyre Ticked
by Marcinho Savant
Staff Writer
From the instant Donald
Trump announced his campaign, he threw the very
first punch at America.
Specifically,
MexicanAmericans, but also undocumented Mexicans, and
those in their home country.
When Mexico sends its
people, they're not sending
their best. They're not sending you. They're not sending you. They're sending
people that have lots of
problems and they're bringing those problems with us.
They're bringing drugs,
they're bringing crime,
they're rapists, and some, I
assume, are good people."
He repeated insulting generalizations about them
again.
Even prior to that time, he
flatly indicted blacks and
Latinos as the cause of all
violent crime in America.
Sadly, the overwhelming
amount of violent crime in
our major cities is committed by blacks and hispanics
[sic] -a tough subject-must
be discussed. Donald J.
Trump
(@realDonaldTrump) June 5, 2013
He has insulted the intelligence, and integrity of
women. Publicly called
them disgusting, and
pigs. He has made vile intimations about a journalists menstrual cycle, and all
with impunity.
Now in the past two
weeks, he has flung inflammatory hate-speech, and violent rhetoric as so much
red meat at his gatherings, and has the gall to
state on NBCs Meet the
Press on Sunday, that "I
don't accept responsibility. I
do not condone violence in
any shape," for the violent
tendencies of his supporters, but was investigating
paying the legal bills of 78year-old Trump supporter,
John McGraw, charged with
assault for sucker-punching
black man in face at a rally
in North Carolina.
The old man cold-cocked
the black youth in the face,
out of the blue, and his response to the press was,
"The next time we see him,
we might have to kill him."
Days before the incident,
Trump was heard to say I'd
like to punch him in the
face," referring to a protestor at one of his gatherings
in Nevada. McGraw took
that emotion and physical
act to heart when he publicly assaulted Rakeem
Jones that way.
Evident hoards of Trump
supported appear, ill-mannered, vicious, and hateful
people, and like nothing
more than to eat what he is
serving. But what happened
to common, civil, interaction? And, if one intends to
be the leader of the nation,
and the Trustee of all of the
American people, regardless of type, how can one be
allowed to spew such vitriolic, manipulative tripe to
the masses and not get
called on it?
Can a man who espouses
xenophobia, misogyny, bigotry, racism, hate-speech,
falsehoods, possibly be
counted upon to fairly and
adequately represent the
concerns of the American
people? One would think
not. Yet, the shockingly
high number of people in
Trumps corner is immediately disarming, and hard to
comprehend. Hate is nothing new. Hatred of, and directed at, people of color is
also nothing new. What is
new, is the blatant, public,
promotion of hate-concepts

as part of a campaign for the

highest office in the land.
Everything I learned
about manhood, fairness,
social skills, dignity, and
honor, I learned in Kindergarten, and from the Bible.
Tell the truth. Share. Be fair.
Be nice. Do not bear false
witness. Do not judge. Do
not hit girls. Dont tell tales.
Love everyone. Treat people the way you want to be
treated. None of which is
unachievable, even with the
smallest of efforts.
Then there is the crass,
loud, rude, Narcissistic,
nasty, uncouth, untrue, vicious, ad hoc buffoonery.
Then there are the assertions of mental health professionals, which imply that

the man is, quite possibly,

psychopathic, manipulative,
pathological, Machiavellian
and, if left unchecked, an
extreme danger to the wellbeing, and interests of this
country.
America has had a tarnished, shameful, bloody,
hate-filled, history of these
behaviors --- in public, and
under the radar, but this
writer is hard-pressed to
ever be able to recall the
Christians to the Lions,
Colosseum, blood-lust rhetoric, and bullying from the
campaign trail. The world is
responding to the incredulity of our current danger. Democrats are calling
shenanigans, but now,
even the GOP has had

enough, and has ramped up

their actions toward stopping Trump in his tracks.
Their party has been kidnapped from them by a
monster of their own facilitation, but now their mistake is obvious, and
frightening on its face.
High-ranking, fairly wellrespected Republican figures have begun emerging,
and demonstrating, and stating their displeasure with
his behavior and his words.
Even his character. Surprising as their statements have
been so far, much is being
played close to the vest,
with much more to come, I
suspect.
Riots, near-riots, hatred,
violence, insane pack mentality. Is this the America
we are willing to accept? Is
this the personality, and
demonstrated demeanor of
a potential future world
leader with unfettered access to the nuclear codes?
Is America willing to let
the loudest people seize
control of the rationality
and unity required to secure
a more perfect union? I
hope not. But if an unsuitable candidate is permitted
to continue unopposed, and
the people remain passive
and silent--- permitting his
rise to power, then we get
what we deserve. We get
what we permit. God help
America, for she knows not
what she does. God bless
America.

The Doctors Report

THREE (3) HEALING PILLS
These three Holy Scriptures will aid, and keep
you alive to fulfill God's will in your lives.
Isaiah 53:1-5; Matthew 8:17; 1 Peter 2:24
So read them out loud to yourselves.
RENEWAL OF WHAT?
The Black employment at the new companies at
The Port, and the horrible political atmosphere
surrounding Caddo Schools, are both being
placed before the voting public at an odd time.
Minimal voter participation is as bad as voter suppression. Be a thinking
voter. Will giving more money promote the shifting demographics or further hurt the narrative? You decide. But Vote!
HOSTILE TAKEOVER
To paint ourselves in a corner with no recourse is silly. To allow one institution
(Wills Knight on) to monopolize an industry so vital to the welfare of an area is
counterproductive. Suicidal and misguided decisions by those elected and selected to promote the common good for all citizens must be called into judgment. Please hold them accountable, besides you have a moral responsibility to
judge our fruit/labor.

DEMOCRATIC PARTY
Congratulations to those elected to serve the Democratic Party and to
guide registered and unregistered voters to Democratic issues. If ever
there existed an opportunity to right the ship of injustice it is now. The
former party bosses cut deals that proved to be harmful to the democratic
principles. Heck, we wouldn't have a Democratic Governor if he had listened to these naysayers. So as you new members make your decision to
select people to head the local efforts, please elect and select people that
will grow the party, and not those that historically sold out for personal
reasons. Let them be individuals that are progressive, and not questionable sleazy backroom deal makers that deny one Democrat over another,
just because they given money or personal promises. Let's take back our
State by backing Democrats. The Governor's election should be the only
sign you need! I know I'm in it to win it! Mindset should be taken, and
we will continue the work of President Obama.
A PEOPLE THAT FAILS TO PLAN, PLANS TO FAIL
STOP THE VIOLENCE!!!
WHO KILLED MS. ANN BREWSTER? (We will keep asking until the
truth comes forth.)

Lighting Lamps in Darkness

A young lad watched through the Window of his hospital room on an extremely
dark night. He watched a man as he slowly
moved from lamp pole to lamp pole lighting street lamps. He pointed out of the window of his hospital room and said to a
nurse, see, look out there, theres a man
lighting lamps in the darkness. The idea
that the lad had will probably coincide with
the prophet Isaiahs expression made in
Isaiah 52:7 especially when the lad was
so impressed with the beauty of the lights.
How beautiful upon the mountains are the
feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that
publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings
of good, that publisheth salvation.
Paul relates in II Corinthians 4:6 For
God who commanded the light to shine out
of darkness hath shined in our hearts, to
give light--- Ye are the light of the world
(John 5:14), an expression to Christians by
Jesus.
We put lights in the darkness of life when
we bear good news. Either we communicate good news or bad news. Either we put
lights in the darkness, or we become part of
the darkness.
News, as we have so often experienced,
is usually negative. Bearers of good news
have become extremely rare. We can be
recognized for our positive good news,or
we can intensify the darkness by negative
news. Positive people are known for bringing good news.
A good man brings out good things from
good treasure in his heart, and a wicked
man brings out bad things from bad treasure

in his heart (Matthew 12:35 Modern

Language Bible).
One may ask When does good (positive)
news become beautiful? Good news becomes beautiful when it is shared. When
one shares negative news, it usually carries
a dark cloud behind it.
We never know who is listening or watching when we share ourselves, our faith and
our joy.
An example of good news is the song
Amazing Grace, a good news kind of
song. It will cut holes in darkness of despair
for anyone who thinks his or her life is
hopeless and unredeemable. There are so
many ways of singing Amazing Grace.
People all over our country, from different
walks of life, have been blessed by the good
news of this song.
Suppose Isaac Watts had never written
that song. Suppose he had only rejoiced in
the newness of his own life, but never
shared it with others. Good news becomes
beautiful when it is shared.
The true story of deliverance for anyone
who will give Christ a chance to make his
life New is good news to all who are in
need. Whats amazing is that we never
know who is listening or watching when we
share ourselves, our faith, and our joy to
others. The Lord has a mysterious way of
using our light to penetrate the dark corners in other peoples lives.
If I try to hide in the darkness, the night
becomes light around me. For even darkness cannot hide from God Psalm
139:11-12 (The Living Bible).

Sunset: March 21, 2015

We waited patiently for your arrival
but on that day we received the news
that you did not make it. It has been
one year since you left us and we often
think of you. Some days are harder to
bear than others, but through strength
from God, we made it. You were such
a pretty little baby girl.
We wish that you didnt have to leave
us so soon but God had another plan.
We take comfort in knowing that one
day we will meet again.
An angel in the book of life wrote
down our babys birth and whispered as
she closed the book Too Beautiful
For Earth.
We miss you ZiZi

by Charles Harris
The Bossier Bearkats defeated the Washington-Marion Indians 42-39 at Burton
Complex in Lake Charles.
The Bearkats defense is
what compelled them
through adversity all year,
and it was again the defense
that won them the 4A
LSHAA High School State
Championship - Their last
one being in the 2011-12
season.
In a season filled with ups
and downs, close games
being won on shots at the
last second and a saving defense, the Bearkats seemed
to be enjoying the "ups"
more so than the "downs."
And after defeating #4
ranked Ellander, the Bearkats were going in as favorites.
But then the "downs"

reared its ugly head up and

tragedy struck. Nineteenyear old Kenyoua Davis,
older sister of point guard
Antonio Davis, died suddenly in her sleep of a
seizure that prevented blood
flow to her brain. The fact
that Antonio and his sister
were especially close and
took care of one another,
without their parents being
around, made it an indescribable tragedy that could
derail the momentum
Bossier rode into the state
quarter finals game on.
Antonio Davis hit the
game winning shot against
#1 ranked St. Thomas
Moore in that game to win
a closely contested 49-48
grinder. But even after that
he had to be convinced by
family and friends to get the
strength to play basketball
again. Antonio decided to

play and felt that Kenyoua

would want him to play.
Then another dose of adversity unexpectedly pops
up -- North and South
Bossier flooding and causes
widespread damage and
evacuations for family and
friends. These Bearkats
have showed a tremendous
amount of inner strength,
courage, toughness, and
perseverance under the tutelage of Coach Jeremiah
Williams, who has put in a
lot of behind the scenes
work to hold his team together.
Senior guard Tyrese English had 14 points, Larry
Robinson III pulled down
10 rebounds and the rest of
the Bearkats helped Antonio Davis win the State
Championship in memory
of his beloved sister Kenyoua Davis. Rest in Peace.
