My wife and I got two tickets for the best seats to watch the holiday spectaculars including New Years Eve in Time Square.

These coveted front row tickets included the Thanksgiving Day Parade, The Rockefeller  Christmas Tree Lighing  ceremony and New Year’s Celebrations in Times Square to welcome 2025.

While things did not always go well for most of us when we’were attending school, Charlie Brown often got the last laugh.

Not many dogs can say they have gone to a real school before, but at the end of the day, Snoopy is nowhere near like most dogs. Many of the Snoopy in school comic strips show the more childlike or whimsical side of Snoopy, while others show his temper flare, all culminating in intriguing and hilarious comic strips of Peanuts.

Experienced American citizens wanted  especially individuals with ethics integrity and highly qualified backgrounds. 

Government hiring must be extremely demanding when our nation needs to move forward efficiently in a challenging time.

The United States of America’s taxpayers are demanding professionals with specialized skills to better serve We The People.

Public service is a serious national security issue that must always be respected. No convictions, impeachments or indictments .

We send a shout-out to all our friends in the United States, Canada, Saint Lucia, Liberia, and unofficially in all countries.

There are also our brothers and sisters who celebrate in Brazil, Germany, and the Philippines. It is also observed in the Dutch town of Leiden and the Australian territory of Norfolk Island. 

This season can be stressful for some with gift buying, planning and preparation. Here are songs to enjoy everyday.

Mississippi native William Cuthbert Faulkner was a Nobel Prize winner and considered one of America’s finest authors.

I like to think of him as a little big man. He is known for his Southern Gothic themes and stream-of-consciousness style. Faulkner’s work explores complex social, psychological, and racial issues.

Faulkner's novels and short stories are set in the fictional Yoknapatawpha County, Mississippi, which is based on Lafayette County, where he spent most of his life.

Where’s Sam now that we need him more than ever? I’ve admire his desire to "destroy oysters done up in all kinds of seductive styles." 

If you've ever read "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer or Huckleberry Finn," you may already be intimately familiar with the American humorist, novelist, journalist and travel writer. https://youtu.be/8cjq-n4uZ5A?si=Vg2fNPwN4-4veKZy

Inquiring minds want to know Why: Who What When Where did this practice begin? Who decided this was correct?

Question everyone and everything.

The 5 Ws are often used in journalism, research, and police investigations.They are also a good practice for writers to follow when developing a story. 

He's outa here... This one is a real DOJ game-changer. Gaetz says he is withdrawing from consideration to serve as attorney general for Trump.

The Congressional Ethics Committee probe following allegations that Gaetz engaged in sexual misconduct, illicit drug use, shared inappropriate images or videos on the House floor, misused state identification records, converted campaign funds to personal use, and accepted a bribe, improper gratuity, or impermissible gift.

The use of the term Latinx has sparked important conversations around gender identity, cultural identity, and inclusivity, especially within the U.S. Latino and Hispanic communities. As you pointed out, non-binary and gender nonconforming individuals are more likely to embrace Latinx because it offers a way to express gender outside of the traditional male/female dichotomy. This is a crucial factor in understanding why the term has found a place among certain groups, particularly those looking for a more inclusive label. Differences Between "Latino" and "Hispanic": Latino (or Latina) generally refers to people from Latin America, or those with Latin American ancestry, regardless of their language. This term focuses on geography and culture. Hispanic, on the other hand, refers to people who come from or have ancestors from Spanish-speaking countries, which includes Spain as well as Latin American nations. The term emphasizes language rather than geographic origin. These distinctions are subtle but important because individuals might identify more strongly with one term over the other depending on their connection to either Latin American or Spanish heritage. Who Uses "Latinx"? As you summarized, the term Latinx tends to be more common among: Younger generations: Those under 30, especially in the U.S., where the term has been increasingly popularized through social media, academic discourse, and activism. College-educated individuals: Those with higher education tend to be more exposed to discussions about inclusivity and social justice, making them more likely to adopt terms like Latinx. Urban dwellers: People living in more diverse, metropolitan areas are more likely to encounter progressive language and multicultural environments, contributing to the popularity of Latinx. Politically progressive or liberal individuals: Those who align with progressive values, including gender equality and LGBTQ+ rights, are often more inclined to adopt the term Latinx as part of their advocacy for inclusivity. Gender nonconforming or non-binary individuals: For these individuals, the gender-neutral "x" in Latinx provides a way to express identity that is not limited to the traditional gender binary. Adoption Challenges: Despite its growing use in some circles, the term Latinx has not been widely embraced across the broader Latino or Hispanic population. Many still prefer the traditional terms, like Latino or Latina, because they feel a stronger connection to those labels or find Latinx unnecessary or unnatural in the context of the Spanish language, where gender is a deeply ingrained feature of grammar. Additionally, some older generations, or those with more conservative views, may view Latinx as a more recent, foreign concept that doesn't resonate with their cultural traditions. As you mention, the future of Latinx will likely continue to evolve as social and cultural changes unfold, and generational shifts influence the broader Latino community's relationship with language and identity. Overall, Latinx serves as a case study in how language adapts to reflect changing social norms and the push for greater inclusivity, even as not all members of the community may fully embrace it.
