FAITHFUL UTTERANCES
Watching for Wisdom
|
By Dr. Froswa Booker-Drew
In the last few years, the emergence of experts on social media is staggering. There are so many self-proclaimed gurus who have not mastered their subject matter very well in their personal lives but are committed to sharing with others how they should. It’s one thing to teach people from what you have done or from your mistakes, it’sanother thing to tell people to follow a path that you have not been successful in completing. For instance, I will never tell anyone how to become a carpenter.

Eddie Bernice Johnson: Jane Hamilton’s attacks on Jasmine Crockett are
Trump-style lies
Hamilton, who’s running to replace the Dallas Democrat in Congress, defended the comments about her rival.
U.S. Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson on Thursday accused Jane Hope Hamilton of using deceptive, Trump-style campaign tactics against state Rep. Jasmine Crockett, whom Johnson has endorsed to replace her in Congress. “We have not had a campaign that has had this much deception and lies in District 30,” Johnson said during a news conference at the African American Museum in Dallas, which Crockett did not attend.
