LA Sheriff challenges Lebron James to put money where mouth is, match reward for info on shooter

Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva directly challenged NBA star LeBron James to essentially put his money where his mouth is.

Villanueva asked the Los Angeles Lakers star, who has been quite vocal in condemning police misconduct, to match the reward money being offered for information on the person who ambushed and shot two LA County Sheriff’s deputies over the weekend.

A manhunt is still underway for the gunman who was seen on surveillance video Saturday, walking up to the passenger’s side of the vehicle and shooting both deputies inside, wounding the 31-year-old mother and her 24-year-old male partner.

Los Angeles County has already pledged $100,000 and private pledges of $50,000 and $25,000 have been added to the total so far for information on the shooter. During an interview with KABC Radio on the John Phillips Show, Villanueva asked James to double the $175,000 amount to $350,000.

“This challenge is to Lebron James. I want you to match that and double that reward,” Villanueva said.

“I know you care about law enforcement. You expressed a very interesting statement about your perspective on race relations and on officer-involved shootings and the impact that it has on the African-American community,” he added.

“And I appreciated that,” Villanueva continued. “But likewise, we need to appreciate that respect for life goes across all professions.”

“Let’s see what he does,” the sheriff told KABC. “I’ll be very curious to see what his...

These Joe Biden Flip Flops on COVID-19 Prove He's Incapable of Leading During the Pandemic

With less than two months before the presidential election, it’s undeniable that the coronavirus will be a key factor in many Americans’ votes. Joe Biden claims that he would show leadership as president in handling the pandemic, and claims that Trump has not.

But Biden’s claim doesn’t hold up to scrutiny. As Politico reported earlier this year, Biden’s efforts during the H1N1 pandemic were nothing to brag about. During the coronavirus pandemic, Biden’s attempts at Monday morning quarterbacking have been laughable. He has called for taking actions already taken by President Trump and then claimed them as his own suggestion Trump should heed.

But Joe Biden has also proven that he’d be a terrible leader to get us through the pandemic by the various flip-flops he’s made specifically related to COVID-19.

The following flip-flops show that Biden’s decision-making when it comes to pandemic response is entirely driven by politics, proving that had he been in charge, he’d have been responsible for not only more COVID-19 deaths, but for economic and constitutional crises.

In each of these instances below, Biden’s reckless original positions flipped to align with President Trump’s position or action.
His mask mandate

Joe Biden called for a national mask mandate back in August, claiming (without evidence) that it would save thousands of lives. “So let’s just institute a mass mandate nationwide starting immediately. And we will save — the estimates are that we will save 40,000 lives in the next three months once that is done.”

“He wants the federal government to issue a sweeping new mandate to law-abiding citizens, wants the president of the United States with the mere stroke of a pen to order over 300 million American citizens to wear a mask for a minimum of three straight months,” Trump said in response to Biden. “He does not identify what authority the president has to issue such a mandate or how federal law enforcement could possibly enforce it or why we would be stepping on governors throughout our country, many of whom have done a very good job and they know what is needed.”

Biden clearly figured out that Trump was absolutely correct because Biden backtracked weeks later. “But here’s the deal, the federal government — there’s a constitutional issue whether federal government could issue such a mandate. I don’t think constitutionally they could, so I wouldn’t issue a mandate.”

How exactly did Biden go from claiming his mandate would save 40,000 lives to saying he wouldn’t issue a nationwide mandate? What does that say about his...
