“This daily news report serves a demographic of highly intelligent readers, and deep thinkers with a passion for ideas, critical thinking, and a desire to understand the world around them. Readers of my posts are usually tired of being patronized elsewhere by fact-less, opinionated know-nothings, misinformation, conspiracy theories, and fake news.

On a personal note: Please excuse grammatical errors, typos, repetition, and any general nonsense, and such in this post. I am getting a bit older now, and I have about 20,000 pages of information that must get published before I leave the mortal coil. I simply write and publish more than my humble editors are able to correct. If you find enough errors you are welcome to contact me about being an editor of my work.

A 3 Minute Read - 3 Top Stories
Muslim hikers Say Abusive Comments Won't Stop Them
https://www.bbc.com/news/newsbeat-59812399
Why I chose this story: In a world of haters and small thinkers we all need to create a loving community and support each other in moving forward.
Hundreds of drivers get stuck in the snowy Sierra Nevada after trying to bypass closed highways
https://ca.news.yahoo.com/hundreds-drivers-stuck-snowy-sierra-172112881.html
Why I chose this story: For years I have studied the ideas and personal philosophy of Frank William Abagnale Jr. an American author, conman, convicted felon, and a high-level instructor for the FBI. Abagnale co-wrote a 1980 book on his life, Catch Me If You Can that inspired the 2002 film of the same name. He has also written four other books. Abagnale runs Abagnale and Associates, a consultancy firm.
Abagnale has stated a number of times that the reason people get into trouble is that “they didn’t do what they were supposed to do, or did what they weren’t supposed to do!” This news story is a clear illustration of that wisdom.
'Slow-motion insurrection': How GOP seizes election power
https://ca.news.yahoo.com/slow-motion-insurrection-gop-seizes-202223284.html
Why I chose this story: I have many “alt-right” friends who still do not accept that January 6, in the U.S. Capital was an insurrection, not just a bunch of tourists trespassing. If you do not read the news concerning the electoral process in America, you are part of the problem. American democracy really is at risk. People who could not even tell you what is in the Bill of Rights (and don’t care) are creating policies for voting rights and future elections. This article will tell you how bleak the future is. I am an optimist and yet I am concerned.
Why I Created this Daily News Feed?
One, of the motivating factors for me in creating this daily NewsFeed, is that so many people who are intelligent, and do actually follow the news may not have an understanding of evidence-based facts, deductive reasoning, inductive reasoning, and the difference between causation and correlation? This may lead them to become conspiracy theorists or who accept sloppy journalism and truthiness and the real thing.
By offering a simple post daily (mornings EST) I hope to eliminate this problem of confusion and intentional ignorance and help you to become more effective, efficient, precise, productive, accurate, and self-aware.
