Dear Neighbors,

On this past week, we lost our dear friend and neighbor, JoAnn Jackson. She was a Pontchartrain Park resident from Pressburg St. JoAnn was highly regarded in the community.

She was a member of Pontchartrain Park and Pontilly Neighborhood Associations and St. Gabriel the Archangel Church. She was very active in the Pontchartrain Park Community. She was always willing to volunteer and help. She was one of the first members of Gentilly Fest serving as Food Vendor Coordinator where she worked for over 10 years. She will be greatly missed.

Pontchartrain Park and Gentilly Fest is sending our heartfelt sympathy to her husband Joe Jackson and her children, Joe Jr., Ava and Jeffrey and the entire Jackson Family.

Please keep them in your prayers and let them know you care by sending them your condolences.

The services will be held on this Saturday, March 1, 2025 at St. Martin de Porres Catholic Church, 5621 Elysian Fields Ave, New Orleans, LA 70122. Visitation 8:00am - 10:00am. The mass will start at 10:00am.

Rest in peace JoAnn Jackson .

May God Bless the Jackson Family.

BREAKING: Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett incinerates Republicans for their racist gerrymandering and "Republican math" in an epic Congressional tirade.

This is what a rising star sounds like...

"In 2020 according to the census — and we know that there was a significant undercount specifically in Texas for a combination of reasons — but we know that specifically Texas added four million people," said Crockett.

"Of those four million people, do you want to take a guess at how many were Anglos? Just a guess?" Crockett asked Robert Santos, Director of United States Census Bureau.

"I'd say a majority," replied Santos.

"A hundred and eighty thousand. That's it! Of four million," said Crockett. "Ninety-five percent of the people that were added — and we know that when it comes to minority populations they tend to be undercounted."

"So get this: we added four million people. They were people of color," she continued. "Texas got two new seats. So they took those Black and brown and Asian bodies and guess what? Do you think that we got a new Black, brown, or Asian seat?"

"Somehow they way that they do their Republican math in the state of Texas, that amounted to two new white seats! Guess what? White Republicans seats!" she went on. "We got two new Republican seats our of four million people of color. So let me tell you they love to use our bodies to apportion us in an inaccurate way."

Well said Congresswoman! Right-wingers don't believe in democracy. They do everything they can to dilute and weaken the voting power of minorities because they're terrified of losing elections.

If Congressional districts were apportioned fairly, we'd have far fewer Republicans in our government.

Please like and share!
