Reader Submitted Letter.
Dear LeBron James,
You don’t speak for me and my boys.
I’m a father of four brown boys. It is my responsibility as a father to protect and serve them. There is no need for police in my home because as the father, I’m the authority in my home.
Police are needed where fathers and law and order are absent. When there is no father to protect and serve children, police have to move into that community to protect and serve.
Where there is no father or authority in the home or neighborhood, young men rebel. This is why police are having a hard time gaining compliance with fatherless boys on the side of the road. They refuse to sit down, be quiet, and comply. Why? Because the police are the first men to tell them NO and assert their authority. These boys have spent years under no ones authority. This is the main problem.
Accepting Authority
So please don’t speak for me and my boys. Me and my boys are not terrified of the police because we respect the police and accept their authority. That’s because they first had to respect me as their father and accept my authority. Actually one of them wants to be a police officer. You Lebron are trying to destroy that dream by painting police officers in a negative light when most a good guys.
We are terrified of the black men that kill each other in their black neighborhoods everyday. We are afraid of the black men that threaten us and call us cūns and uncle toms for desiring to live a peacefull and successful life. We are aware of the fact that 93% of all black homicides are by black men. (Bureau of Justice Statistics)
If you really want to help fatherless boys like yourself, stop using fear tactics and guilt trips. Help promote legislation like “EQUAL SHARED PARENTING” that helps divorced dads and single dads have more time with their children without paying more child support.
Help get legislation passed to make child support more fair and equal. Fund programs like my former #GoodGuys #GoodGirls Program (killed by ObamaCare) that helped young black youth save sex until marriage, learn their history, learn to respect police, develop work ethic and accomplish their goals.( https://youtu.be/1ZxCe3JXp3M ).
Stop blaming the police and help build better fathers. Stop saying police need more training and train more dads and young black boys on the the rule of law and police protocols.
Remember, there are millions of black and brown boys out here that are not being killed by police. They are alive and doing quite well. How? We obey the law. Comply with police and if the police does something wrong or unethical, they live to fight in court and not the side of the road.

Trump vs. ‘ Come on man ‘
Pres. Trump: Not a Politician, only Three and half years in office, Runs on his Accomplishments.
Quid Pro Joe: a Failed Politician, has been in office for 47 years, still runs on what he “ Plans to do “.
“ You Ain’t black, If you Don’t Vote for me “ = Racist
“ You Won’t get the Billion if you don’t fire the prosecutor “ = Quid Pro Quo
Exactly How Stupid is this man ?

THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS
January-March 2003
In previous wars, Congress had been populated by hawks and doves.
But as war in Iraq loomed it seemed to consist mainly of lambs who hardly made a peep.
In the months of the run-up to war, Congress asked very few questions, and didn’t offer any challenge to the administration on the lack of postwar planning.
Congress takes no for an answer
The last chance was offered by hearings on Iraq held in February 2003, but this was not an opportunity Congress would take.
It had made its choice the previous October when it gave the president a blank check to go to war.
As a body it was willing to ask questions, but that was little more than a pose, because it didn’t object when it didn’t get responses that spoke to the issue.
It was a Congress that would take no, or something close to it, for an answer.
Douglas Feith’s appearance before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee at its major prewar hearing on Iraq was a memorable demonstration of testimony as tap dancing.
He couldn’t say how many troops might be required, or what a war might cost, or even what other countries might join the U.S.-led effort.
“Senator, it’s hard to answer a lot of these what-ifs because a lot depends on, you know, future events that we don’t know,” Feith told Sen. Joseph Biden, the Delaware Democrat who was the ranking minority member on the panel.
“There are enormous uncertainties.”
As for the key question of the duration of the occupation, Feith deferred answering.
“I don’t think I want to venture into the prediction business,” he parried.
“The American people have no notion of what we are about to undertake,” Biden concluded that day.
It was an important observation about a democracy about to launch a war in a distant land, alien culture, and hostile region.
But it was made in a tone of passive resignation.

This was sent to me by a fellow veteran, and it goes to the question of just how stupid is Joe Biden really?

WATCH: Biden Calls US Troops ‘Stupid Bastards’
Posted: Sep 25, 2020 5:30 PM
If the media thought the fake news about Trump calling fallen World War One soldiers “suckers” and “losers” was breaking news, there’s no excuse for them to ignore this resurfaced video of Biden calling our men and women in uniform “stupid bastards.”
The video was reportedly taken on March 7, 2016, during Biden’s visit to Al Dhafra airbase in the United Arab Emirates.
The clip begins with Biden proclaiming that he has “incredibly good judgment” and ends with Biden ridiculing our nation’s finest.
“Clap for that, you stupid bastards,” Biden said.
“C’mon man. Man, you are a dull bunch.”
“Must be slow here, man.”
So here we see Biden in his own words calling servicemembers “stupid bastards,” unlike the anonymously sourced and widely debunked story in The Atlantic that claimed President Trump referred to fallen U.S. soldiers in World War One as “suckers” and “losers.”
Other people with the president that day and willing to go on the record said the Atlantic story wasn’t true, including former National Security Adviser John Bolton who recently wrote a book attacking Trump.
Biden is known for making bizarre statements.
In February, the candidate accused a voter of being a “lying dog-faced pony soldier.”

What is interesting is that this writer is describing the stable, productive, law-abiding “nuclear” family that the Marxist group BLACK LIVES MATTER wants to disrupt, dismantle and destroy as we see in a New York Post story titled “The agenda of Black Lives Matter is far different from the slogan” by Mike Gonzalez and Andrew Olivastro on July 1, 2020, where we were informed as follows on that subject, to wit:
Many see the slogan Black Lives Matter as a plea to secure the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all Americans, especially historically wronged African Americans.
They add the BLM hashtag to their social-media profiles, carry BLM signs at protests and make financial donations.
Tragically, when they do donate, they are likely to bankroll a number of radical organizations, founded by committed Marxists whose goals aren’t to make the American Dream a reality for everyone — but to transform America completely.
Visit the Black Lives Matter website, and the first frame you get is a large crowd with fists raised and the slogan “Now We Transform.”
Read the list of demands, and you get a sense of how deep a transformation they seek.
One proclaims: “We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear-family-structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and ‘villages’ that collectively care for one another.”
The group’s radical Marxist agenda would supplant the basic building block of society — the family — with the state and destroy the economic system that has lifted more people from poverty than any other.
Black lives, and all lives, would be harmed.
Stuart Bell says
It’s been 7 years since BLM was formed. They have raised over $1 Billion Dollars! They haven’t sent 1 poor black child to college or bought school supplies, fed the hungry, donated to a food bank or provided housing to 1 poor black family or 1 neighborhood cleanup.
