PENNIES FROM HEAVEN

Submitted by ub on

My late dad AJ Soto, II was a good man and a human being of great integrity. He once had money and left it behind fleeing from the Cuban revolution. He instead chose to leave the communist island to save his family and forgo riches by serving as a social worker when our family came to the USA. My mother and father became Bing Crosby fans because of the following song. The message is to appreciate unexpected benefits, which I remember hearing again and again that famous phrase, "everything happens for a reason." Believe it or not, I just found a heads up penny.

FACT CHEKING

Submitted by ub on

Media fact-checking is crucial, and will increase criticism and create cynicism . Journalisten then let the fact-checking begin.

This practice must become a larger segment of news for all citizen journalists. And the problem is that many of them are not merely calling balls, swing, and miss strikes. They are spewing views and making it seem like its news.

Can you recall a more polarizing, divisive and talked-about American political camp pain in recent history?

TRUMPENCE vs CLINTONKAINE. These two opposite teams are involved in a race, which is not really about issues, but appears to be about who can be the biggest and most believable liar. However, the powerplay may be fizzling out and the game may be over for Trump, as well as many other Republicans, who are up for elections.
