A $13 billion warship in 2016? Can anyone explain/justify spending that much money on something like this?

Who would be so foolish as to go into deep water without knowing how to swim and why?.

She has always had a big heart and likes to help people out when she can. She ended up loaning the masseuse a few hundred dollars and they agreed she would provide massages at her home as a way of paying her back, rather than cash. Things were fine at first and they worked off a small portion of the loan then they started making up excuses why they couldn't show up. Some of her other friends were giving her advice on what she could do. She was going to chalk it up to a learning experience but in talking to her recently she told me she contacted the person's employer and explained to them she was no longer going to do business with them, they asked why and she told them They said it was highly improper of the employee to do this and a violation of the terms of their employment. They also said this could have been a liability for both the employer and the employee if ... less
I have. And it made me feel proud that they work in our neighborhood. We want our kids to once again think of cops as being one of their heroes, as well as our firemen.
Yellow journalism is a style of writing used to entertain. It distorts, sensationalizes, and exploits information to attract readers. It appeals to our lowest instincts.

If someone died the blue star was replaced with a GOLD STAR.
In 1947 Congress approved the use of the GOLD STAR lapel button. They may be worn only by immediate family members of the fallen. So they are a long tradition in the American military. And usually revered, honored and appreciated by Americans who understand the significance of them.

This is called "yellow journalism". Created to entertain, not inform.
Frankly, as a writer, I'm getting tired of it. I long for regular, boring, true news.
Seems every news outlet carries one story after another, and some stories are not even important. It's like "Donald Trump had a McDonald's hamburger". So what?

Anybody can have one too. Is that important news? It's overkill!

Unpredictable. A baby crawls, walks hesitantly, then runs. This campaign is still a crawling baby. Stunted growth. Maybe it's the diet they have chosen to follow. What caused it?
But if you’re feeling down “god forbid” they either get annoyed with you for not being your usually bubbly self or keep their distance until they think your better.

All these tracks that Trump has left will be remembered because they are on video/audio and in writing and that is a pity since so much of it is hurtful and harmful and demeaning. That is now part of the Trump legacy. I think someone who loves him should get him off the stage. It is only going to get worse. Does anyone love him enough to do that for him?

You might repeatedly blink your eyes, shrug your shoulders or BLURT OUT unusual sounds or OFFENSIVE WORDS. There is no cure but treatment is available. Someone with Tourette's is not in control. If you are not in control then you are not to blame. Right? The disease controls you. Why would anyone attack a person who is not responsible for what comes out of his/her mouth? The disease is the culprit. The person who has the disease is merely the vehicle and is being driven by it, not driving it. less
The life of a species is about 100,000 years. Humans, the smartest species, are working on destroying themselves and the planet, so would it be better if we weren't so smart?

The person is unable to control what he says but feels no need to do so since what he says needs to be said because he has never been wrong about anything. The problem isn't him. The problem is the people who don't agree with him. Therefore it is his mission to make then understand and he cannot stop trying to do that . There is no one more determined to convince you of the rightness of his/her view than the indignant/self-righteous/warrior who feels misunderstood/maligned/dismissed. He cannot stop. He cannot help it. He is powerless. He is not in control. less

Since they claim they are the ones which are creating the jobs, but aren't those who have to pay them also creating jobs and doing important things for the economy?
