Default LeBron James

LeBron James calls President Trump a "Bum" and thinks Obama was the best ever.
His fans listen to him because he has a talent for basketball, and buying huge
mansions. The letter writer below, a sports journalist, tells the truth, the
truth that applies to most celebrities on the left. It's a GREAT Letter to
Lebron from former Houston news reporter Hal Lundgren.

January, 2019

Mr. Lebron James
The Los Angeles Lakers
2275 E. Mariposa Ave.
El Segundo, CA 90245

Dear Mr. James:

No one in my circles discusses French Modernist artists. That comforts me.
Such a conversation would expose me as an illiterate on French Modernism, just
as I am an illiterate on cooking, and many other things.

When I know nothing on a subject, my mouth stays closed. That's at least one
difference in us. You are an economics illiterate. You prove it often. The
dishonest "reporters" who cover you want to be your buddy. They won't
embarrass you by being honest journalists, and treating your words as
economics illiteracy. When you call Trump "a bum", none of them will tell you
that statistics rank him as one of our best presidents for black Americans.
His tax cuts and freeing us from absurd regulations have resulted in -- after
only 24 months -- the lowest unemployment numbers EVER for Hispanic and black
Americans, and one of the lowest numbers for women.

DURING THOSE 24 MONTHS, TRUMP'S POLICIES CREATED ABOUT FOUR TIMES MORE
MANUFACTURING JOBS THAN WERE CREATED DURING THE ENTIRE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION'S
EIGHT YEARS!!!

Remember during the Trump campaign when Obama mistakenly said, "What's Trump
gonna do? Wave a magic wand? These lost manufacturing jobs aren't coming
back." Just maybe manufacturing job growth depends on a president who knows
what the hell he's doing as opposed to some smiling idiot that was nothing
more than a community organizer...

As a professional journalist, I cringe at some of Trump's buffoonery, like
repeating sentences and wearing us out with "great," "fantastic" and other
empty adjectives. He is egotistical and bombastic. He was not my original
candidate which just goes to show how wrong I was. But there's no question his
policies have helped many more minority Americans than Obama. It's not even
close. Today, he's working to free many black and Hispanic prisoners who, in
his opinion, have been in prison too long for relatively minor offenses. Are
you aware of that effort?

You need to look up Gross Domestic Product, adjusted for inflation, and learn
what it means to everyday Americans. Learn what one GDP point means to
employment, and see how Trump has kept the numbers climbing.

Your buddy Obama? In addition to being our worst foreign affairs president,
and worst military commander-in-chief, his economic numbers all deserved an
"F." He is our ONLY eight-year president who failed to give us at least one 3%
or higher year of adjusted GDP growth. EVERY other president achieved at least
one year of 4.28% or higher growth. Aided by Vietnam spending, Johnson had an
8.48 year. The best peacetime year -- 7.83 -- belonged to Reagan. ...And Obama
couldn't even score a 3??? ..Go ahead. Look it up.

You say you would talk to Obama, but not Trump? Why? Is it because you're a
star basketball player, and you feel this God given talent elevates you above
speaking to the most powerful person on the face of the earth? How tragic that
your ego is so misplaced.

Obama had BY FAR the worst debt accumulation record of all our presidents in
our history. His economic blunders added about $9 trillion to our debt. NO
OTHER PRESIDENT EVEN CAME CLOSE That's ALMOST as much indebtedness as ALL of
the former POTUS'S combined!! This debt will fall to you, your children, and
your grandchildren...

Poor families suffered most during Obama's tenure while he & his family were
on VACATION, most of his time in office, on taxpayer funds! His awful job
numbers forced a record number of people to receive food stamps. Black
household income under Obama fell steeply as black unemployment rose. ...Oh
yes, you can look that up, too.

But the worst part of what Trump inherited is that Obama, like Bush and
Clinton before him, thought bribes and sweet talk were the best ways to deal
with North Korea. As the North Koreans neared being able to wipe out your
present area of employment, Los Angeles, with a nuclear-tipped missile, Trump
became the first president to stand up boldly to this rogue nation. Have you
noticed North Korea, because of Trump, has stopped launching missiles over
Japan? ....Noticed; North Korea has released political prisoners?...Notice;
North Korea has returned the remains of U.S. Service members? ...Absent sturdy
spines, Clinton, Bush, and Obama could not approach those major achievements.

Obama naively bribed the planet's worst terrorist nation, Iran, with what was
supposed to become a $150 billion handout, mostly in cash , and without
notifying Congress. Did Obama not know many of those U.S. Tax dollars would
help fund Hamas and Hezbollah terrorism? Of course, he did. He just wanted to
appease the masses.

Remember the $800 billion of your, and everyone else's tax dollars in his
early stimulus for "shovel-ready jobs." Most of those tax dollars went to
political cronies. He handed $500 million to Solyndra, a solar company run by
HIS boosters. The company soon went bankrupt. Our half-billion in tax dollars
vanished with it. (And Trump can't get 5.7 billion to build a wall to keep ALL
Americans safe because he is asking to do it LEGALLY with Congress' approval?)

Trump is often obnoxious, but people with courage often have that hang up.
Obama always talked big, smiled a lot, then feebly stood by and did nothing. A
perfect example was when Putin infringed on Ukraine and annexed Crimea. What
did Obama do?? ... Not one damned thing!!

One of Obama's most cowardly moves came when he warned Assad not to cross "the
red line" in Syria . When Obama's warning was ignored, which Assad knew would
happen, Obama once again did nothing. Now please Mr. James, be honest.. If
this happened with Trump in charge, do you really think this action would have
occurred without some retaliation?? ...Hopefully, you're not that naive.

It makes me sad that you, as someone with a national voice would be so
ignorant of economics, and also presidential decisions. I encourage you to do
more reading and thinking as you watch the nation's GDP numbers improve, and
minority employment rise.

Read about "Right To Try," which frees terminally ill people to sign a lawsuit
waiver, and take an experimental drug that might not be approved for many
years. Democrats fought this sensible plan for years because it would cost
them HUGE donations from the drug industry.

In order to become at least somewhat intelligently informed, Mr. James, why
don't you read about a Navy that Obama left to Trump that struggled with
almost half its carrier aircraft unsafe to fly.

...Read about Trump's giving the VA the right to fire any employee who
neglects or abuses a patient.

...Read about Trump's courage in challenging, actually demanding that, NATO
partners begin to pay their fair share rather than keep mooching off the U.S.

...You might also read the wisdom of two of the world's brightest people,
black intellectuals Dr. Thomas Sowell and Dr. Walter Williams. They have
written numerous books. Sowell and Williams' integrity, remarkable insights,
and clarity of expression cause their common sense to soar off the page to
readers, both BLACK and white I might add.

Or, you could ignore vital Trump decisions, and remain an illiterate on both
presidential achievement and economics. If you disdain knowledge, and keep
calling Trump or any other U.S. president a bum, YOUR word; other people with
normal intelligence might actually begin to wonder who the real bum is with a
bigger mouth than Trump's!

Sincerely, Hal Lundgren

This article took some backbone to write.. Every fact listed in this letter is
verifiable, but alas, the people who should really read it will probably never
do so, and will blindly go on thinking and believing whatever pulp news is fed
to them via the liberal media, and will still vote for the so called "free
stuff" until the money runs out. When reality hits them in the face, and their
pocketbook they will wonder what the hell happened.....And you can be sure,
they'll NEVER believe the truth and how wrong socialism is even with Venezuela
a prime example at this very moment.....We have fallen to a level I never
believed possible in my lifetime. So sad!! Just one person's opinion?

Angry LeBron James, just another stupid black racist...

Well put to say the least I'm not about to fact check Hal Lundgren. He's not trying to smear LeBron James as a talented baller, he's pointing out he knows nothing about what President Trump has accomplished for minorities and how Obama allowed the blacks to slide farther down the drain. James is racist as are most blacks, they hate us more than the Muslims. Is that not PC or is that simply the truth? As I have said in the past, I don't like bad people. Blacks make up 13% of our population and statistics reveal that blacks were charged with 62 percent of robberies, 57 percent of murders and 45 percent of assaults. I don't hate them because they are black. I do hate the bad people among their race responsible for those criminal acts. If that's not PC, so be it! Good read rman, thanks for posting!

No proof or disproof that Lundgren wrote the letter. Says a lot of things that many feel especially when a celebrity voices rather unlearned, unqualified opinions that are spread as gospel. I tend not to believe these things from the internet unless I can get a couple of different corroborations.

Vetter, I don't dislike any general group because of what some members do. I can dislike those in the group.

Greener, you are right, I read my post and it needed to be changed to make it clear I only hate the bad black people.
