My Day Mix
|By Dr. J. Ester Davis
Just when you think you have heard every unthinkable absurdity has been done and said by a former president, there is one more for your entertainment pleasure powered by a 24 hour news cycle. The former president’s greatest terrestrial impact to date has largely been habitual lying, but to imagine an elected president of the United States could draft an order for Homeland Security to remove voting machines is very serious. When is this country going to wake up draft an indictment, deny bail and remove his name from the list.
Again, this is very serious! The ballot box is the sacred core of our democracy and there should be little discussion on the charges, the on air confession and the promise of proposed pardons plus doing it again if elected boldly made by the former president. All in my hometown of Conroe. Where is America’s dignity?
Answer . . . It is indeed at the ballot box. Please make up your mind to vote large . . . at every election . . . at whatever cost. Moving on.

Missing-Black-Girls Speaker. From Frazier Courts Apartments, Tonya Stafford was sold and abused as a teen. Her story is widely known and well documented. She was a straight “A” student at a local high school. My article on her back in 2012 is entitled “No One Looked for Me” which was very painful and disturbing to listen to. She was a willing participant at the Missing-Black-Girls Town Hall Report attended by black, white, latin media, four(4)judges, a constable, a class of girls and a state legislature Channel 8 has just finished a story highlighting missing and trafficked girls. My national awareness campaign is ‘missing-black-girls’ due to our high numbers versus our population. For state legislatures, we are asking for a Texas-Missing-Girls-Act. At the Winter Commencement 2022 of Grace International Seminary, Tonya received her third degree Doctor of Divinity alone with other members of the Class of 2022. Thank you Tonya for speaking loudly, making a prolific difference and saving others.
