Is the dog a human's best friend? Well, if the animal's popularity is anything to go by, perhaps that's true. The affection for dogs f is and has been the real deal for some time. How we used to think about dogs can be judged by looking at how they have been portrayed in language over the centuries.

The first linguistic oddity to do with dogs concerns the origin of the word Dog. The name was preceded by the perfectly good Anglo-Saxon word hound, which was also used in other European languages.

All Americans must realize that POTUS used his trip, the health care workers and first responders he met with as propaganda tools.

The POTUS Propaganda Tour left Washington DC for Ohio and then traveled to Texas while American taxpayers pay for it and they have yet to see #TrumpTaxes. Republicans are using this latest trip to create their political propaganda camp pain.

Biting The Bullet

Submitted by ub on

First, allow me to say that as a veteran journalist and news manager, I’ve traveled throughout Asia, where video games in cities like Tokyo and Shanghai are extremely popular, but guns are not. Politicians including @POTUS have blamed violence on video games for years. This is yet another lie. In fact, data on bananas causing suicides have about the same correlation.

Also, it’s amusing to see the methods each publication takes instead of editorial boards biting the bullet and reacting like grownups.

Stop for a moment and think Where did they come from?

NOT How many fights have they fought?
How hungry have they been?
How many wars have you lived?

50 years following The Woodstock Festival, has Trump's GOP mangled young America's chant of Love, Peace, and Happiness? The grandson of President George HW Bush, who was my former boss wrote that white extremists are a "real and present threat."
