Buy American - Lives Matter But So Does One's Livelihood.

I do not understand why so many people are asking if a police department is scaled down and officers have to ride their bikes to a crime scene why victims are so concerned if their home is broken into by a masked gun person? All they have to do is call their next door neighbor and/or minister and invite them to come over and pray with them. People are so reactive and illogical.
Finally:
My liberal Trump Hating friends love to tell me how he never listens and/or changes his mind. I acknowledge he is strong headed, stubborn and sold on his own thinking. That said, there is also plenty of evidence Trump can be persuaded and therefore does listen. Let me cite three specific cases:
a) He wanted to withdraw troops supporting Kurds and was talked out of doing so.
b) He listened to Sec. Carson and Sen. Scott who sold him on the idea of Opportunity Zones.
c) He was inclined to fire Defense Sec. Esper recently but was dissuaded from doing do.
Trump blows off steam but there are many more instances I can cite where he recants and does not act. This is why I pay more attention to what he does than what he says. I also urge those who say they are willing to change their own minds while believing Trump won't his might , perhaps, do as I do. DUH!
Lastly, the mass media has a history of censoring exactly what he says and often slant their comments to suit their bias in order to shape negative opinions of Trump. Americans are generally fair minded but when it comes to Trump many become visceral Consequently, I have little respect for their views.

The NAACP was once more relevant, I was even a modest contributor. Then they became increasingly radical and now are less effective. The Black Lives Matter movement is now in the process of peaking, in my opinion, because the power they have has gone to their heads and their overreach will soon create a backlash.
You cannot get blood from of a turnip, even a white turnip.
Moderation prolongs whereas, radicalism shortens. The more power one achieves the headier the feeling and soon omnipotence drives one's actions. When you start from a questionable premise, as I believe Black Lives Matter did, and then proceed to stretch demands beyond reason there will be repercussions.
Some good usually comes out of unjustified occurrences. However, human nature also has a way of running through red lights and that ain't good.
Stay tuned.

As we know most major cities are controlled by Democrat politicians who are constantly re-elected yet, accomplish little by way of change in terms of the racial situation. Ask yourself why is this? If you have no answer then ask yourself, if you care about race relations, killings and rioting, as you might profess you do, then why do you remain indifferent?

The city of Chicago notched a grim milestone last weekend, as 18 people were murdered on Sunday, May 31 alone, marking the deadliest day in the city since at least 1961.
Monday A Black General was approved to be Air Force Chief of Staff - First Ever
Below is a video he made.
There is not doubt prejudice exists and always will. However, there also is increasing evidence of significant Black American advancement.
If logic and reasoning still have meaning, I submit when crime committed by black citizens decreases prejudice towards them will also decrease. In order for crime to decrease many things must change that have been caused by misguided progressive legislation.
Notable & Quotable: Gen. Charles Q. Brown
‘I’m thinking about my Air Force career, where I was often the only African-American in my squadron, or as a senior officer, the only African-American in the room.’
Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr. in a June 5 video address. The Senate confirmed Gen. Brown Tuesday as Air Force chief of staff:
As the commander of Pacific Air Forces, a senior leader in our Air Force, and an African-American, many of you may be wondering what I’m thinking about the current events surrounding the tragic death of George Floyd. Here’s what I’m thinking about.
I’m thinking about how full I am with emotion, not just for George Floyd, but the many African-Americans that have suffered the same fate as George Floyd. I’m thinking about protests in my country—’tis of thee, sweet land of liberty—the equality expressed in our Declaration of Independence and the Constitution that I’ve sworn my adult life to support and defen
And thinking about a history of racial issues, and my own experiences that didn’t always sing of liberty and equality. I’m thinking about living in two worlds, each with their own perspective and views. I’m thinking about my sister and I being the only African-Americans in our entire elementary school and trying to fit in. I’m thinking about then going to a high school where roughly half the students were African-American—and trying to fit in.
I’m thinking about my mentors, and how rarely I had a mentor that looked like me. I’m thinking about the sound advice that has led to my success, and even so, most of my mentors cannot relate to my experience as an African-American. I’m thinking about the pressure I felt to perform error-free, especially for supervisors I perceived had expected less from me as an African-American. I’m thinking about having to represent by working twice as hard to prove their expectations and perceptions of African-Americans were invalid.
I’m thinking about the airmen that have lived through similar experiences and feelings as mine, or who were, either consciously or unconsciously, unfairly treated. Conversely, I’m thinking about the airmen who don’t have a life similar to mine, and don’t have to navigate through two worlds. I’m thinking about how these airmen view racism—whether they don’t see it as a problem since it doesn’t happen to them, or whether they’re empathetic.
I’m thinking about our two sons, and how we had to prepare them to live in two worlds. I’m thinking about the frank and emotional conversations that my wife and I have had with them just this past week, as we discuss the situations that have led to the protests around our country.
Finally, I’m thinking about my historic nomination to be the first African-American to serve as the Air Force chief of staff. I’m thinking about the African-Americans that went before me to make this opportunity possible. I’m thinking about the immense expectations that come with this historic nomination, particularly through the lens of current events plaguing our nation.
I’m thinking about how I may have fallen short in my career, and will likely continue falling short living up to all of those expectations. I’m thinking about how my nomination provides some hope, but also comes with a heavy burden. I can’t fix centuries of racism in our country, nor can I fix decades of discrimination that may have impacted members of our Air Force. I’m thinking about how I can make improvements—personally, professionally and institutionally—so that all airmen, both today and tomorrow, appreciate the value of diversity in a conservative environment where they can reach their full potential.
I’m thinking I don’t have all the answers on how to create such an environment, whether here in Pacaf [Pacific Air Forces] or across our Air Force. I’m thinking about, without clear-cut answers, I just want to have the wisdom and knowledge to lead during difficult times like these. I want the wisdom and knowledge to lead, participate in and listen to necessary conversations on racism, diversity and inclusion. I want the wisdom and knowledge to lead those willing to take committed and sustained action to make our Air Force better.

Chicago suffers deadliest day in 60 years with 18 murders in 24 hours
by Adam Ford The city of Chicago notched a grim milestone last weekend, as 18 people were murdered on Sunday, May 31 alone, marking the deadliest day in the city since at least 1961.
The University of Chicago Crime Lab's numbers do not go back further than 1961, so it's impossible to say how long it's been — if ever — since so many people were murdered in the city one 24-hour stretch.
The Chicago Sun-Times describes some of the victims:
A hardworking father killed just before 1 a.m.
A West Side high school student murdered two hours later.
A man killed amid South Side looting at a cellphone store at 12:30 p.m.
A college freshman who hoped to become a correctional officer, gunned down at 4:25 p.m. after getting into an argument in Englewood.
In the entire weekend stretching from 7 p.m. Friday, May 29, through 11 p.m. Sunday, May 31, 24 people were killed in Chcago and another 85 were wounded by gunfire.
The next-highest murder total for a single day in Chicago was on Aug. 4, 1991, when 13 people were killed.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++"We've never seen anything like it, at all," said Max Kapustin, the senior research director at the crime lab. " ... I don't even know how to put it into context. It's beyond anything that we've ever seen before.
