I didn't see this reported when they were running all the feel good stories on him. I suppose this doesn't make for as great of narrative, but if this is true he is leaving the local community with 75% of the bill for his I Promise School.

LeBron James' I Promise School to Cost District Taxpayers Around $8M Per Year


The I Promise School, which was opened by the LeBron James Family Foundation and Akron Public Schools, will reportedly eventually cost taxpayers approximately $8 million per year.

According to the Plain Dealer's Patrick O'Donnell, that figure will be "covered mostly by shifting students, teachers and money from other schools."
So what... even if he paid 25% that’s 25% more than anyone else ponied up

So not as charitable as might seem...
All you need to know about “Charitable Boondoggle” is to study the Trump family stiffing of Hospitals like Saint Jude’s....so he could pay for his golf courses. Want me to start pulling down some of those articals?

Good news for the President. It remains to be seen if it will help Repubs in 18. If Repubs get 30% of the votes of Americans of African descent, it might prompt all of the left wing media march in protest.

The the 64 thousand dollar question. Does this translate to republican votes?

And 36% in this poll. This is a serious problem for dems. They've thrown African Americans under the bus for illegal aliens.

Today’s @realDonaldTrump approval ratings among black voters: 36% This day last year: 19% http://bit.ly/preztrack @POTUS @realDonaldTrump

This is who I would like to see the Democrats nominate in 2020. I prefer governors who have administrative experience over senators and representatives.

"Gov. Steve Bullock will visit New Hampshire on Aug. 24 as part of his stops to early-voting states this month as he explores a possible 2020 presidential bid.

Matt McKenna, spokesman for Bullock's Big Sky Values Political Action Committee, told the Associated Press on Tuesday the Democratic governor will visit the Granite State.

The governor is expected to appear at the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines. He’s part of the Des Moines Register's “Political Soapbox” and is scheduled to speak at 11 a.m. Aug. 16."

Is governor dipping toe in presidential waters?

I don’t approve of federal funding of education. It should be left to the states and localities.

For that matter, there is lots of stuff I prefer the federal government stay out of, especially on cultural issues. We would get along a lot better in this country if we left most matters up to the states to chart their own paths and concerned itself with issues that affect the country as a whole or between states.

WOW!!!
I know the rapture will come before T'giving -- I, 100%, agree with Ken!:eek:
(Sarcasm for you overly literal types. :Sneaky )

Edited to add: sarcasm is ONLY the first part!!:Biggrin:Biggrin

I, 100%, agree with Ken!

Not any different than what I said in 2014 in a statewide televised debate when I ran for Congress in Arkansas' Fourth Congressional District as the nominee of the Libertarian Party when answering questions about infrastructure and farm spending. On infrastructure I cited President Monroe's veto of an infrastructure bill in 1817 where he explained that the Congress did not have the constitutional power to do it. On farming I cited President Cleveland's veto of the "Texas Seed Bill" in 1887 where he also explained that Congress did not have the constitutional power to do it(BTW, I think Cleveland was our last great president based on adhering to the rigors of the U.S. Constitution). I am not opposed to such spending but the Founding Fathers clearly intended the states to handle such. States were to be the innovators of government programs and then could borrow ideas from each other ideas that are found to work. Unfortunately, after Cleveland left office, it has been all downhill as far as adherence to the constitution is concerned. I wish we could go back to such strict adherence but I seriously doubt that the American people are willing to elect a Josiah as president.

Prediction, barring anything not known right now appearing, trump will be re elected pretty easily, as Dems will run a socialist, and will have failed solutions to offer!
