Regarding Charlotte, Black & Blue Lives and Lies

By: Lloyd Marcus

Hi Folks. These are a few thoughts from the road. Mary and I are driving from our home in Florida up to visit her family in West Virginia and my family in Maryland. On Saturday, Pumphrey, the community I grew up in is having an event honoring my 88 year old preacher dad. Dad was a pillar of our black community. In the 60’s, we Pumphrey elementary school students were bused to the recently integrated Brooklyn Park Jr/Sr High School. Saturday night, I have been asked to sing at my Brooklyn Park High School reunion. I will not tell you which year reunion because it sounds really old, even to me.

Our car radio lost Rush and other talk radio favorites as we drove through states. In South Carolina, I stumbled across a southern gospel station that made me smile. “I’m Stickin’ With Jesus All The Way” was one of the great comforting songs we heard. Several radio stations touted traditional American values. We saw a huge billboard that read, “Blue Lives Matter, Trump/Pence.” My point is listening to mainstream media, one could easily conclude that we have lost the America we love.

There are more of us who love God, our country, our National Anthem and our flag than those who do not. It reminds me of that guy in the Bible who was depressed because he thought he was the only one left in Israel who had not succumb to worshiping false gods. God told the man he had 7,000 who had not bowed to Baal. Sometimes when standing up for righteousness we feel alone.

Mary and I spent the night in North Carolina near Charlotte. On TV in our hotel room, local news was dominated with the riots. Once again just like in Ferguson, blacks were responding violently to a lie insidiously spread on social media, promoted by mainstream media.

Black Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Putney said Scott, the fatally shot black man, came out of his car with a gun, not a book as claimed by Scott’s family who were not there. http://bit.ly/2djf5vV Also, the officer who shot Scott was black. But this is not the story-line that the Left wishes to further. The Left ignored the facts and ran with the story-line that another unarmed black man was gunned down by a racist cop. Documented evidence confirms that blacks pose the largest threat to black lives. http://bit.ly/2bctsMK

Divinely lead to push back against the Left’s narrative (lie) which has painted a target on the backs of America’s brave men and women in blue, I launched a nationwide Blue Lives Matter Celebration tour. Our first celebration event was in Daytona Beach Florida. The media blackout was stunning. Still, we press forward in Jesus name. Our next Blues Lives Matter Celebration will probably be in Dallas.

With this latest wave of riots and anger targeted at police, a dear friend emailed me. She cautioned me to be prayerful and careful in regards to standing up for police at this time. The image of lighting a candle in the darkness came to mind. When things are at their darkest, that is the time to light a candle.

Black Chief Putney confirmed my thoughts regarding the importance of spreading the truth. He said, “It’s time for the voiceless majority to stand up and be heard.”

Evil prospers when good folks do nothing. Folks, I believe God has my back. No weapon formed against me shall prosper. I have been preaching for years in my articles that the Left has had its way reshaping our culture and country because far too many Americans are afraid of making the Left really angry. Well, I cannot sit back and allow the Left to spread lies which ultimately leads to the assassination of police. I am moving forward with my Blues Lives Matter Celebration tour, discrediting the lies and spreading the truth about police in positive, upbeat and entertaining ways. Please contribute at: http://www.lloydmarcus.com/

The insane with racial hate and depravity American Left have decreed that it is racist to say all lives matter. I will say what God says is right rather than what evil men demand that I say.

Red, yellow, black and white, they are precious in His sight. This means ALL LIVES MATTER!

Media Blackout Blue Lives Matter Celebration Event

By: Lloyd Marcus

Saturday, my amazing God-sent team pulled off our first powerful Blue Lives Matter Celebration event. Each celebrity guest spoke masterfully on their topic; educating and dispelling negative myths about our brave men and women in blue.

Radio talk show host Andrea Shea King’s incredible tribute to fallen officers had many wiping away tears. Humorist, AlfonZo Rachel’s rant supportive of cops had the audience in stitches laughing.

Congressman Ron DeSantis spoke expressing his appreciation and support for law enforcement officers. We were presented with a proclamation which concluded, “Now, Therefore, I, Derrick L. Henry, Mayor of the City of Daytona Beach and on behalf of the City Commission do hereby proclaim Saturday, September 10, 2016 as Celebrate “The Blue” Day.”

While I was elated that our event went so well, rich with great musical performances and compelling speeches, I was stunned that not a single media outlet covered the event. We sent numerous press releases and made phone calls to Central Florida radio stations, TV stations and newspapers.

As president of a Central Florida arts center for over a decade, local media routinely responded to every press release I sent from art openings to talent shows and everything in between. Saturday’s Blue Lives Matter Celebration event was newsworthy, the first of a nationwide tour honoring America’s police. The event was extremely educational, entertaining, touching and uplifting, a positive response to those who paint targets on the backs of our courageous law enforcement officers. Why was there clearly a media black out? Not one news reporter showed up folks. Not one.

One has to wonder. How intimidating and entrenched is the evil bogus narrative promoted by the Obama Administration, mainstream media, Hollywood and Black Lives Matter that claims police are our enemies, racist and murder blacks? Why did Central Florida media behave as though our event celebrating police was a leper colony?

To broaden our appeal, someone suggested that I change the focus of my celebration from police to include EMT, firefighters and military. While the suggestion sounded reasonable, it did not connect with my spirit; not in sync with what I felt God led me to do. Still, I ran the suggestion pass one of the powerful orators who spoke at the event, Detective Peter Hernandez.

Detective Hernandez said he would really appreciate me keeping the focus of my celebration on cops. He said civilians do not understand what they go through. When EMT shows up, they are there to attend to someone’s medical needs. Firefighters show up to save someone’s home from burning down; greeted with appreciation. Routinely when police arrive, people are behaving at their worst. Cops are greeted with hostility, danger and extreme scrutiny. Detective Hernandez was not whining or complaining. He was merely explaining why our support and encouragement is so sorely needed.

Detective Peter Hernandez in his own words:

“Thank you again Mr Marcus for putting on a great and very supportive event. Thank you for also giving me the opportunity to get the word out about the Wounded Officers Initiative. The program’s we are working on will save lives, families, and help law enforcement like no other organization has done before.

It’s really sad to speak about an event to honor law enforcement as being controversial. An event to honor law enforcement should be viral, proudly proclaimed, and most importantly celebrated. Law Enforcement Officers provide the safety and security for all other first responders to operate. Law enforcement are the ones that secure the scenes that provide the fire departments safety so they could extinguish a fire. It’s law enforcement who is first on the scene of those injured and it is them who render first aid until the paramedics arrive.

In 2012 I wrote this blurb which I thinks best defines what a law enforcement officer is and how they stand out. It’s called,

What am I?

I’m a professional driver who drives at high speeds, avoiding moving obstacles, on an open track. But I don’t have sponsors nor endorsements.

I am an educator, a professor of sorts. I’m suppose to know it all and be capable of teaching everyone no matter their grade level. But I don’t get every weekend, holiday, spring break, Christmas or summer off.

I’m a professional fighter. I’ll fight anyone, anytime, any place. No matter how many, the size, or the skill; I must win every time. But I don’t get a golden belt after my win nor cheering fans.

I’m a therapist, a family counselor, a rehab specialist, and a mental health coordinator. I’m expected to give advice, council a family in crisis, identify an addiction, and diagnose a mental illness in no less than 10 minutes from meeting the person and without the aid of a leather couch.

I’m a paramedic. I’m expected to go into a chaotic scene, triage the casualties, determine the appropriate aid, and administer that aid. I do all this as everyone else who is not hurt runs away.

I’m a firefighter. I’m first on the scene of fires. I have no fire proof clothing nor real firefighting skills or equipment. I run in to save as many lives I can and I do it equipped with pure will and a small extinguisher.

I’m a lawyer. I must know all the laws both civil and criminal. I must know the elements to those laws and how to rapidly apply them. I must attend court, truthfully testify, present evidence, and do it on my day off.

I’m a robot. Do without question. Feel without showing. Endure what others can’t. Be fearless while others are in terror. Have skin of steel so that no harsh words, or actions may penetrate.

What am I; I am an American Law Enforcement Officer who answered the call of service for their community. I am the thin blue line that is between those who wish to do evil and those who wish to live in peace. I am the one you run to when you need help but the one you run from when you’ve done wrong. But most importantly I am the one who Cares.”

Words cannot express my deep appreciation to all who contributed to cover the cost of our first Blue Lives Matter Celebration. My team of speakers, entertainers and crew are pumped; excited and ready to do the next celebration event. It looks like we are being lead to do our next celebration event in Nashville. My western boots are at least ten years old. Mary has been bugging me to purchase a new pair. Perhaps, I will find a pair in Nashville.

Before I sang “America The Beautiful” at my Blue Lives Matter Celebration, I said, “Red, yellow, black and white. They are precious in His sight. That means all lives matter!” The audience loved it.

Blue Lives Matter / All Lives Matter

By: Lloyd Marcus

I saw a dolphin this morning. In honor of our 39^th wedding anniversary, a patriot couple whom we have never met gave Mary and me the use of their beautiful condo for a week on the water in Perdido Key, Florida. We drove 9 hours to get here. We were here a few years ago and I remember seeing dolphins swimming in one direction in the morning and the other in the evening. We have been here for 3 days and had not seen a single dolphin. I wondered, is it a seasonal thing? Are dolphins not around this time of year?

This morning while listening to Joel Osteen’s sermon on TV, I glanced out the slider and saw a dolphin swimming by. For some inexplicable reason, it filled me will joy. The dolphin swam with such elegance and grace. And then, I saw the second fin. There were two dolphins swimming side by side like a couple. The dolphin couple appeared to glide effortlessly through the water. Peaceful and calm.

Folks, for those of you who do not know, I am hosting a national Blues Lives Matter Celebration event in Daytona Beach, Florida. It will be LIVE streamed over the internet.

Forgive me for seeing the event through a spiritual lens, but that is who I am. God has brought all the right people together to make our celebration great; a much deserved love letter to America’s police.

My Blue Lives Matter Celebration is Saturday, September 10th at the Ocean Convention Center, Daytona Beach, Florida. The time is 11am to 2pm. Admission is FREE.

If you are in the area please come by and show your support for our brave men and women in blue. I promise you will be blessed. I do not want to scare anyone away, but I have decided to sing and speak more that I originally intended.

What inspired me to produce a Blue Lives Matter Celebration event was hearing an interview with author, Heather Mac Donald on Rush’s radio show. Her book is titled, “The War on Cops: How the New Attack on Law and Order Makes Everyone Less Safe”.

Heather exposed cop’s heroic efforts to protect and serve us. Her research revealed that police are the greatest advocates and defenders of black lives. http://bit.ly/2a6dzIL And yet, the narrative despicably promoted by the Left is the polar opposite of the truth. Heather said there needs to be a Blue Lives Matter movement.

Well, God led me to move; not to produce a protest rally, but a love letter of appreciation for our heroes; America’s police.

A funny thing has begun happening. More and more people are approaching me about having Blue Lives Matter Celebration events nationwide. A famous comedian buddy is investigating the possibility of he and I together on a Blue Lives Matter bus tour.

Whatever God calls us to do He provides the funding. Therefore, I repent of stressing. If you feel lead to help with production costs, please make a donation at: http://www.lloydmarcus.com/

Where we are staying in Perdido Key, Florida is only two miles from Alabama. We are originally from Maryland and LOVE steamed crabs. Yesterday, we drove a mile across the state line into Alabama and purchased steamed crabs. We are having a wonderful relaxing time. Hopefully, we will see dolphins this evening swimming in the other direction. That would be awesome!

Blue Lives Matter Celebration: Honoring America’s Police – Our Brave Men and Women in Blue.

By: Lloyd Marcus

Headline: Riots in Milwaukee. “They’re beating every white person!” “Black power!” These extremely disturbing comments are from the audio of the riots aired nationwide. http://bit.ly/2b7uCMA I thought, “Well, Obama, Democrats and mainstream media, are you happy now?

Their relentless spreading and nurturing of the bogus narrative that America is racist and cops routinely murder blacks is responsible for unprecedented assassinations of police, chaos and violence in our streets. For decades democrats have controlled major cities, enslaving blacks on inner city plantations. Democrat overlords filled their black slave’s heads with victim-hood-ism and hatred for whites and America. This is the cause of blacks launching a race war on white America and police. The Democrats’ chickens have come home to roost.

It is truly unfortunate that democrats filling blacks with such negativity has cost them so much, robbing far too many of them of pursuing their full potential. Many moons ago I was a young black man in my mid twenties. I became a born-again Christian and wanted to save the world. I visited youth detention centers and jails to tell them about Jesus. I was struck that so many of those incarcerated were black. I also could not help noticing that many were handsome, bright and even gifted. Their biggest problem holding them back was their negative attitudes. Why try? The white man will stop you and so on. I was politically clueless back then and never tied their hopelessness to democrat/liberal brainwashing.

Two cops shot in the head while eating lunch in their patrol car http://nydn.us/1HgOCm5, another ambushed from behind, killed while pumping gas in his patrol car is extremely disturbing. http://cnn.it/1TOh1Jc These men were husbands and fathers. As Americans, we must come together and counter the Left painting targets on the backs of our nation’s brave men and women in blue.

Saturday, September 10^th, I am hosting a Blue Lives Matter Celebration event. National response has been wonderful. Candidly, I had to let it go that some politicians and local law enforcement have backed away; not wanting anything to do with such an event.

Think about that folks. Some Americans are so intimidated, bullied and controlled by evil people that a family event featuring comics, dancers, speakers and singers coming together to celebrate, thank and encourage America’s police is too scary to be a part of. Lord help us. Every-time we shy away from doing the right thing for fear of angering bad people, we embolden them.

I have reached out to several national celebrities to participate. I will announce them as they confirm. Tea Party Express has signed on to help.

This quote by Edmund Burke is probably overused, but so appropriate. “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” Folks, the Left’s slander of our nation’s police is pure evil from the pit of hell.

Please, please help to pull-off this extremely important event. I prayerfully hope it will spark many more nationwide. At minimum, I need about $10,000. The Ocean Convention Center costs $2000. The production company providing lighting, video, camera with tech, two huge video projection screens and sound system costs $6000. We have to provide light-fare food for the cast and crew. There are other miscellaneous expenses. I am seeking volunteers, but I must provide transportation getting guests to and from the airport. Thus, I need around ten grand to make this event happen.

By the way, Black Lives Matter, the evil hate group that declared it “open season” on killing whites and cops http://bit.ly/2aVVbpN received over $30 million from George Soros. http://bit.ly/29Ob3I6

The Ford Foundation and other liberal groups are raising $100 million for Black Lives Matter. http://bit.ly/2aYw0Ol Meanwhile, I am struggling to raise $10,000 for an event supportive of our nation’s police. What has gone so terribly wrong with our country folks?

Marcus says…

“Candidly, when I decided to produce a Blue Lives Matter Celebration event, I was angry. I was angry over the evil bogus narrative promoted by the Left that has caused assassinations of police across America. Do not get me wrong. I am not apologizing for my anger. Decent people should get angry when evil prospers. It is called a righteous anger. Jesus got angry at the money-changers who disrespected the temple.

However, the further I got into planning the celebration, I began to feel that the event should be a love letter to America’s cops. I realize that sounds a bit corny and touchy-feely. And yet, that is the tone that I believe the rally should embrace. My Blue Lives Matter Celebration will be a fun, uplifting and inspiring event for the entire family.

God willing, I pray that the event will bless and encourage police who lay it all on the line for us every day. I also pray that this event inspires the public to support and appreciate our brave men and women in blue.”

A Black Guy Producing a Blue Lives Matter Rally?

By: Lloyd Marcus

Folks, I am sick of being told by people on our side to walk-on-eggshells when pushing back against Leftist activist’s super aggressive attacks on our traditions, values and heroes. Consequently, we continue to allow Leftists to demonize good guys and urinate on everything Americans have held dear for decades. Whenever we say no to Leftist’s attacks on our culture, the mainstream media runs to attack us with the Left’s red-hot branding iron. They burn an “H” in the middle of your forehead, marking you a hater.

Case in point: The horrific epidemic of assassinations of police caused by Black Lives Matter have inspired me to produce a Blue Lives Matter Rally: Honoring America’s Police – our brave men and women in blue. Can you believe that Leftists say celebrating our police is hateful? A few fearful conservatives have told me they want nothing to do with my rally. This is yet another example of how far we have fallen, allowing ourselves to be intimidated and controlled by evil.

You are probably as sick of hearing me state the following truth as I am sick of having to say it. Black Lives Matter was founded on a lie. Their lie says Michael Brown was murdered by a racist white cop while Michael had his hands up, pleading with the officer not to shoot him. The truth is Michael Brown was a 6 foot, 300 pound criminal. Brown was shot while attacking Officer Wilson inside his patrol car attempting to take his gun. http://nyp.st/YvkEeT

And yet, Obama, mainstream media, Hollywood and the Democrat party, all continue to do their part to promote the “hands up, don’t shoot” lie. Despite Black Lives Matter boldly declaring it open season on killing whites and police http://bit.ly/2aDASII, Obama honored the hate group at the White House. Obama even praised them for their “outstanding work”. http://bit.ly/1Qv2H9W

The Democrat National Convention featured Michael Brown’s mom as a speaker, in essence, sending out a clarion call to young blacks across America to keep ambushing and assassinating cops. http://bit.ly/29Sr3WZ

Meanwhile, some conservatives caution me not to produce an uplifting family event honoring cops because Leftists will deem the event hateful. It’s a crazy world we are living in folks.

Folks, I realize that bad cops exist, just as there are bad apples in every profession. For crying out loud, Jesus had 12 disciples and one of them was a fraud; Judas. Stats confirm that most cops are good guys daily laying their lives on the line to protect and defend us.

This experience I had as a black youth involving white cops bears repeating.

It was the 1970s. My black cousin had a nervous breakdown. His wife called me to their home. My 6 foot, over 200 pound, cousin held his two toddler sons hostage in his basement. He was an emotional wreck, crying while threatening to murder his boys and himself.

Two white Baltimore cops arrived first on the scene. One officer was young and energetic. The other was older, much slower and obese. The veteran cop struggled up the 8 front steps and hobbled into their row house to the basement doorway. After catching his breath, with wisdom and compassion, the cop reasoned with my cousin. “C’mon son, I know how you feel. But you do not want to do this.” Remarkably, my cousin surrendered to the fatherly cop. He did not spend a long time, if any time, in jail. My cousin is alive and well today.

Heather Mac Donald is author of, “The War on Cops: How the New Attack on Law and Order Makes Everyone Less Safe.” http://bit.ly/29t0E1L

Mac Donald’s research has revealed that no government agency is more committed to saving black lives than police; saving tens of thousands of minority lives since the mid-1990s.

Folks, the truth is blacks pose the biggest threat to black lives. So many black men have been killed by other blacks in 2012 alone that it would take cops 40 years to match the number. http://bit.ly/1LFSb6D

Incredibly, the mainstream media basically ignored a mob of Black Lives Matter activists marching down a NY street boldly chanting, “What do we want? Dead cops! When do we want it? Now!!!” http://bit.ly/1BMKT1t

“But no Lloyd, having a rally honoring cops may anger Black Lives Matter. The media will spin it as a hate event.” Folks, we must counter evil with good.

I have booked the Ocean Convention Center in Daytona Beach Florida for a Blue Lives Matter Rally to honor America’s police, our brave men and women in blue. The date is Saturday, September 10^th. The time is 11am to 2pm.

I hope to book Heather Mac Donald to speak and numerous other celebrities. Celebs who cannot physically attend will send their message on video. I plan to do a brief tribute to each officer who has been assassinated by BLM thugs.

I originally planned to have a black choir sing. My black conservative buddy from Racial Policy Center, Mychal Massie scolded me. “Don’t have a black choir. We have enough division. Have a choir of all Americans.” I like that.

It is going to be a great, fun, and uplifting event for the entire family. Hopefully, my buddy from Tim Allen’s Home Improvement TV sitcom, Jimmy Labriola, can come and do his hilarious stand-up act.

I have also asked Victoria Jackson from Saturday Night Live to participate.

We need funding to pull this off. The venue costs $2000. Then, there is the cost of the production company, sound company, house band and etc. Please visit our crowd funding page and give. http://bit.ly/29MSqHg

“All that is needed for evil to prosper is for good men to do nothing.” Let’s come together and do something good folks. http://bit.ly/29MSqHg
