5. In all this screaming and fussing...

The true message is buried....It's about open discussion nationally for Solutions! Solutions for preventing unarmed black or people of color being shot unarmed...and the message has morphed into no Walk, stop deportation of good people and stop Trump's abusive obnoxious behavior on a daily basis.

Where is the message of origin?

6. So, some NFL fans disrespect prayer. Where's DonnieJohn's tweet?
