LeBron James Responds To Donald Trump’s Attacks

There is no secret that LeBron James and President Donald Trump don’t like each other. Over the past four years, LeBron is made it clear that he doesn’t support the President and that he is actively trying to make sure he loses his bid for re-election, which happens in about 12 days from now. In fact, LeBron has his very own More Than A Vote initiative that seeks to end voter suppression.

Trump has seen LeBron’s efforts and has deemed the Los Angeles Lakers champion as “very nasty” and a “hater.” During a new interview in the New York Times, LeBron spoke about Trump’s comments and how he feels about it all.

“I don’t go back and forth with anybody. And I damn sure won’t go back and forth with that guy,” James said. The basketball superstar then went on to talk about his More Than A Vote organization and what it all stands for.

“It’s simple. We believe that Black people, our community, we’ve been pushed away from our civic duty,” James said. “We’ve been fed misinformation for many years. And I’m in a position where I can educate people and, through More Than a Vote, educate people on how important this movement is, and how important their civic duty is. Not only to empower themselves, but to give back to their community as well.”

While in the NBA bubble, LeBron and other NBA stars proved their commitment to social justice as they boycotted games for a day. This boycott led to various voter initiatives, including teams allowing their arenas to be used as voting locations. Needless to say, LeBron’s efforts have certainly made an impact, which will continue to rub Trump the wrong way.

François Marius and Bérénice creates a tender acoustic pop confession with “Billie Jean”

François Marius’ latest release, “Billie Jean (Acoustic Version),” cuts to the quick and lets raw emotion take over. What you get, ultimately, is a personal pop experience that feels closer to a secret than to either a spoken-word show or a performance. The initial soft strum of an acoustic guitar creates a mood that is soft, sweet, and quietly interesting. It’s a full-throated, backbones-out piece, and every note is screaming its potential. It’s simple but riveting, and it proves that sometimes less is more.

François Marius and Bérénice’s voices sound right together, their voicings intermingle so naturally that they seem accidental or spontaneous, harmonies that emerge from nowhere. The way they speak to one another is very, I mean, they really love each other. That even makes the track seem like a conversation about feelings.

The two artists are clearly close. Romance and Eros are not just ideas, and they inhabit every note that lingers and every minuscule shift in tonality. The harmonies soar effortlessly over the acoustic foundation, a blend of sweetness and strength. It’s a sign of strength and also of a willingness to be hurt.

“Billie Jean (Acoustic Version)” is stripped of any fancy production or theatrical effects, it wins you over with its frankness and forthrightness. Sandy François Marius’s impersonation is fresh and real, endowed with depth and softness thanks to Bérénice’s presence, which definitely makes everything more perfect. This acoustic performance serves as a stark reminder of the elements that do connect people: the singer, his guitar, and a story from the heart.
