Barbara Bush Funeral

Images

Did every real living president take the time to show their respects and attend the services held for former First Lady Barbara Bush? More than one thousand mourners were there to pay their respect, along with First Lady Melania.

After 73 years of marriage and to honor her commitment to family literacy, which she raised over $110 million over the course of over 30 years, my former boss @GeorgeHWBush wore wearing a pair of colorful socks with books at today’s funeral.

Saturday Shower

This is no baby shower, nor that shower some folks only take once a week on Saturday. This one is special and it is visible tonight. A meteor shower is a spike in the number of shooting stars that streak through the night sky.

Most meteor showers are spawned by comets. As a comet orbits the Sun it sheds an icy, dusty debris stream along its orbit. If Earth travels through this stream, we will see a meteor shower. Although the meteors can appear anywhere in the sky, the meteors in each shower appear to rain into the sky from the same region.

DNC Sues Trump

The Democrats have filed a civil lawsuit alleging that Russia perpetrated a brazen attack on American democracy during the 2016 election, and found a willing partner in the Trump campaign.

The lawsuit says a major part of Russia's attack on American democracy was the cyber attack on the DNC and theft of the DNC's proprietary information. This stolen information was then released to the public by Russian agents and WikiLeaks to damage the Democratic Party and influence the 2016 election.

Cannabis Day

Is Boehner a stoner? Has Mitch begun to pitch for hemp? From politicians to artists like Louis Armstrong and Lady Gaga, musicians love their weed, claiming pot can help with creativity, aid relaxation, even for mind expansion.

As it goes mainstream, people are rethinking Marijuana because it’s racist, and instead, saying cannabis.

Individuals should say what they like, but this rule is too simplistic for such a complex drug. We should develop more, not fewer, words for what we need to say. Why there are so many different names for weed http://ti.me/2pGiESq

Fake News

Fake news undermines serious media coverage and makes it more difficult for journalists to cover significant news stories. The research finds the top 20 fake news stories on the 2016 presidential elections received more engagement on Facebook than the top 20 news stories on the election from 19 major media outlets. Anonymously-hosted fake news websites lacking known publishers have also been criticized because they make it difficult to prosecute sources of fake news for libel.
