@WhiteHouse America was created by those which rejected Kings. If logic follows, then we have no Kings. Why is it that we march today and say “NO KINGS”? Because we have a wannabe KING as our current president. He actually even posted this Photo of Himself as a King from OUR Whitehouse!
Jesse Owens of USA winning gold for the long jump in the summer Olympics in Germany, 1936. The man saluting behind Owens is Lutz Long, a German who shared training tips with Owens and was the first to openly congratulate him after his final jump in full view of Hitler.
After the Olympics, the two kept in touch via mail. Below is Long's last letter to Owens while he was stationed with the German Army in North Africa during World War 2. Long was later killed in action during the allied invasion of Sicily in 1943.
"I am here, Jesse, where it seems there is only the dry sand and the wet blood. I do not fear so much for myself, my friend Jesse, I fear for my woman who is home, and my young son Karl, who has never really known his father.
My heart tells me, if I be honest with you, that this is the last letter I shall ever write. If it is so, I ask you something. It is a something so very important to me.
It is you go to Germany when this war done, someday find my Karl, and tell him about his father. Tell him, Jesse, what times were like when we not separated by war. I am saying—tell him how things can be between men on this earth.
If you do this something for me, this thing that I need the most to know will be done, I do something for you, now. I tell you something I know you want to hear. And it is true.
That hour in Berlin when I first spoke to you, when you had your knee upon the ground, I knew that you were in prayer. Then I not know how I know. Now I do. I know it is never by chance that we come together. I come to you that hour in 1936 for purpose more than der Berliner Olympiade.
And you, I believe, will read this letter, while it should not be possible to reach you ever, for purpose more even than our friendship. I believe this shall come about because I think now that God will make it come about. This is what I have to tell you, Jesse.
I think I might believe in God. And I pray to him that, even while it should not be possible for this to reach you ever, these words I write will still be read by you.
Your brother, Luz"
@AliSapirman@SCCDP@nicoleannette00 A home is truly a thing to behold. For most it is not a choice of whether or not to be without a home but more of a circumstance of their lives in a time not of their choosing. So do we enforce the sunset laws of San Jose or rather reach out to those without?

Not so much a threat but more like a wish. Graham has again misread the American people. We are not a mob, and as well we are quite capable of thinking for ourselves. Bless his heart, the poor thing must be desperate for attention.
“By talking about the possibility of violence without condemning it, Mr. Trump’s sympathizers play a game of intimidation: daring Attorney General Merrick Garland to bring a case and face the consequences.”

Today, I joined Mayor @samliccardo and Council Members @MayaEsparzaSJ & @raulperalez to present a $10 million check from the state to fund the East San José Corridor Safety Improvement Project as part of the city’s Vision Zero strategy.
@SJFD The video presentation is worth your time. This station has been planned for years and finally is online. Response time will be improved in the area and as well take the pressure off of surrounding stations. A win-win for San Jose.
