President Barack Obama shakes hands with George Goodman League commissioner Miles Rawls (center) at the Washington Wizards vs. the Chicago Bulls game at the Verizon Center in February
With the Washington Wizards failing to qualify for the NBA playoff for the first time in four years, President Barack Obama will have to wait until next season before he can make his second basketball game appearance at the Verizon Center.
But the good news for Obama is he won’t have too long to see some exciting hoops in Washington.
Remember the fan who allegedly heckled the president during the Wizards vs. Chicago Bulls game back in February?
Well, the AFRO had confirmed that Miles Rawls had intentions far beyond annoying the first Black president of the United States.
We reported last month that Rawls, the longtime commissioner of the annual George Goodman League—a series of summer basketball games at Barry Farms Dwelling Court—had plans of inviting Obama down to the Farms, according to a source familiar with the situation.
The AFRO now learns directly from Rawls— also a longtime District police officer—that he has written an official letter of invitation and will personally deliver it to the White House one day this week.
Rawls, who will also take to the president several photos of the Goodman League games, said he wanted to present an invitation to Obama during the Wizards games, but never had the chance because the two were having so much fun exchanging trash talk.
If the president does accept the invitation to either watch or participate as a player in the games, surely he’ll be the most recognized public figure to do so.
But he won’t be the first famous face to engage in D.C.’s most popular street ball tournament.
Rawls, one of the most respected names among local basketball, has the ability to attract high- profile ball players to participate in the games. He’s invited NBA stars such as Gilbert Arenas, Caron Butler, Kevin Durant, Michael Beasley, Shaquille O’Neal and several And-1 All Stars down to play against some of the best local talent.
Whenever word gets around the area that a star baller will be playing, hundreds of folks crowd the courts just to be a witness.
If Obama shows face, he’ll easily attract the most visitors to Barry Farms in the 30-plus year history of the Goodman League games.

Bloomningdale New Jersey Police Department Condoned Sex Between Minors and Adults in My Daughter's Missing Persons' Case
Posted 3/2/2009 3:55 PM EST
United States :
When my daughter was residing with me for a short time over five years ago in Bloomingdale New Jersey; one day she was became extremely angry with because I gave her a very strict curfew to abide by.
As aforementioned, my daughter became angry with me; she left my house deciding to move in with a twenty-seven year old male she worked with at the time at, Scuffy’s Pet Store located in Wayne, NJ.
Loretta, the long time manager of Scuffy’s Pet Store in Wayne, NJ knew my 17 year old daughter was acquiring illegal drugs, having sex and/or living with their twenty-seven year old employee, a man living with his parents in Pompton Lakes, NJ from the Phillipines). Lorretta refused to tell me where my daughter was; the Pet Store management and owner’s also threatened me. The owner of the Pet Store (Scuffy’s) told me explicitly, I was a bad mother and I was not to call the Pet Store asking for information about my daughter OR they would have me arrested. They told my father, Irwin Starr, visiting from San Jose, C.A., at the time he could not even come inside the store to try to meet his Grand-daughter for the first time in over 15 years as well.
I called my good friend, Columbia Ph.D and college professor Arnold Stark, he told me my he had dropped my daughter off in Pompton Lakes and she went to live with the adult pet store employee.
I called the local police reporting this indcident and the Wayne , NJ police department as well to go to the Pet Store and bring my daughter back to me because I had regained legal custody of her and neither POLICE DEPT. WOULD TELLING ME I WAS CAUSING THE UNECESSARY WORK AND TROUBLE!
I”LL TELL YOU HOW TO CUT BACK ON SPENDING IN THE HOUSE AND SENATE! FIRE THE POLICE OFFICERS ACTING LIKE THIS MR PRESIDENT!

United States :
I acquired a 107 Grade Point Average in Human Biology (Lecture and Lab in College, taking course in both forensic science and anthropology at William Paterson College in New Jersey (making high grades in both).
I was outside a few summers back gardening in my backyard in Bloomingdale, NJ when I came across a whole lot of bones of some sort buried under the tree and all over under the grass in my backyard.
So to inquire more, I got a shovel and started pulling the bones of some mammal out of the dirt (they remain here for proof) of this story.
I called the local police to report this having already lined up some of the many bones lined on a paper towel here after rinsing them in water.
When the local Bloomingdale Police arrived on the scene as usual they threatened me saying, they refused to investigate this and told me I was ” going to be committed into the local Chilton Mental Hospital” again, and I had no choice but to go into the ambulance...Their reason was because, “I was neither allowed to dig nor report bones in my backyard to them.”
They said if I ever dig in my yard again they’d send me back to the local mental hospital.
I originally noticed bones by the large tree buried gardening many years back here.
