NOW FOR A RUN DOWN OF "THE SEATTLE TIMES" A VERY CREDIBLE AND RELIABLE COVERAGE OF THE NEWS! JUST REMEMBER, READERS AND POTENTIAL READERS . . . HARD COPY, PRINT, ONLY HAS THEIR "CREDIBILITY" TO RELY ON, TO SELL PAPERS! TRUMP TV, LIKE THE MAN HIMSELF, IS GOING FOR RATINGS, FOR THE SHOCKING, FOR THE "FAKE" NEWS, SO, CREDIBILITY, OFTEN, GOES OUT THE WINDOW FOR RATINGS GAMS AND WARS! COOL COMPETITION, AT YALE UNIVERSITY, HELD A CHALLENGE, TO TEAMS OF VERY SMART PEOPLE, WITH PH.D'S AND OTHER, SMART DEGREES, TO COME UP WITH, OR CREATE SOMETHING, A TOOL, OR SERVICE, THAT WILL DETECT, NOT ONLY "FAKE" OR LIMITED, CREDIBILITY NEWS, BUT, EVEN, REDIRECT, PEOPLE, TO NEWS SOURCES, THAT WILL PROVIDE THEM, WITH ALTERNATIVE, VIEW POINTS, AND GIVE ALERTS, THAT THE SOCIAL MEDIA SOURCE OR TV, RADIO SOURCE, IS PUTTING OUT QUESTIONABLE INFORMATION! THERE WAS A TEAM OF FOUR, TWO FROM YALE, AND THE OTHER TWO, AN UNDERGRAD STUDENT, WHO STUDIES MACHINE LEARNING AT THE CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, AND A COMPUTER SCIENCE MAJOR, AT THE UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO AND BUSINESS AT WILFRID LAURIER UNIVERSITY! THIS IS WHERE SMART, MEETS, STONG, AND COMBINES IN COOL! THE PROGRAM IS "OPEN MIND" AND, THE TEAM OF WINNERS ARE WORKING WITH, FACEBOOK AND OTHER TECH COMPANIES TO HELP, THE REST OF US CLOWNS, BE BETTER EDUCATED, MORE WELL ROUNDED, AND SMART, WHEN, IT COMES TO PARTY POLITICS, NEWS, AND DETECTING "FAKE" NEWS! GREAT STUFF! TALKING ABOUT, PARTISAN, POLITICS: (1) THE GOP, HOPED, WITH THEIR NEW TAX PLAN, THAT, WHAT THEY COULDN'T DO IN TRANSPARENCY, TRYING FOR 9 YEARS TO REPEAL AND REPLACE OBAMACARE, THEY COULD DO BEHIND, CLOSED DOORS AND IN SECRET . . . WE BLOCKED THEM . . . 9 MILLION NEW, ENROLLEES, ENTERED THE OBAMACARE PROGRAMS, AND EXCHANGES! JUST IGNORE CONGRESS, LET THEM, PLAY THEIR GAMES AND WE WILL KEEP, CREATING JOBS, BUILDING, NEW COMPANIES, AND TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS ON WALL STREET! GOOD ON YOU, YOUNG, HEALTHY, AND INSURED, FOR BOUYING UP THE INSURANCE PROGRAMS, FOR THE SICK, THOSE WITH PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS, THE TERMINALLY ILL, AND THE KIDS! KISSES, HUGS, AND LOVES! EVIDENCE OF GOOD, IS EVERYWHERE! (2) PHASE II OF THE TAX BILL, IN ADDITION TO GIVING THE WEALTHY, A HUGE ASS, UNFAIR, CHRISTMAS PRESENT, THAT NEVER TRANSLATES INTO, TRICKLING DOWN, OR NEVER HAS, BEFORE, THE GOP, IS GOING AFTER, PROGRAMS FOR THE POOR, TAKING AWAY, MEDICAID AND MEDICARE, PLUS GOING AFTER, SENIORS, AND SOCIAL SECURITY! MERRY CHRISTMAS AND TO ALL, FUCK YOU POOR! LIKE ALL MEMBERS OF THE REPBULICAN PARTY ARE RICH? FUCK NO! MY FAMILY DID IT ON THE BACK OF THE ONE DEMOCRAT IN THE FAMILY, ME, WHO WAS, A BIG ASS FAN OF PRESIDENT OBAMA! FANFARE! HE DID US GOOD! (3) AS GERMANS, ARE GETTING PAID FOR USING, ENERGY, AFTER INVESTING, BILLIONS IN, SOLAR AND WIND, ENERGY, THAT AT TIMES, MAKE SO MUCH, CLEAN ENERGY, THAT, THEY HAVE TOO MUCH, SO THE BUYER, GETS A FREE ELECTRIC BILL, AND, EVEN GETS PAID FOR USING MORE ENERGY! THE SUN AND THE WIND, MAKE TOO MUCH, ENERGY SOMETIMES! WHILE ALL THOSE OLD DOGS, THAT CAN'T LEARN NEW TRICKS, DUDES, JUST GRANTED, OIL AND GAS LEASES, ON SOME WILDLIFE PRESERVE, UP IN ALASKA! THAT MIGHT GET MY VERY SMART DAUGHTER, WHO WANTS TO DO NATURAL RESOURCE AND WILDLANDS FIREFIGHTING POLICIY, WORKING FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF INTERIOR, PISSED ENOUGH, TO WRITE HER VERY SMART AND VERY COMPREHENSIVE, POLICY ARTICLES . . . NO PRESSURE, HONEY, BUT, WE NEED, YOU, AND YOUR SIBLINGS, MINDS . . .TO OPEN MINDS, HELPING THE "OPEN MINDS" TEAM, IN GETTING EDUCATION OUT, THAT MIGHT, JUST TURN, THE TABLES OF TIME AND SAVE THE ENVIRONMENT, BEFORE, IT REALLY IS TOO LATE! GREAT ARTICLE(S), OPINION SECTION, SEATTLE TIMES, "ORCAS AND OIL SPILLS ARE A CATASTROPHIC MIX!" TWO OTHER ARTICLES WORTH, READING: (A) EDITORIAL: "EVIDENCE-BASED" IS NOT A DIRTY WORD" IN REFERENCE TO THE CDC OR CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL, BEING TOLD NOT TO USE, 7 DIRTY WORDS! LOL. WATCH, COMEDIAN, GEORGE CARLIN'S "FOUR DIRTY WORDS!" LOL. CHANGED MY MIND ON SWEARING, BUT, THESE WORDS, THAT IS LIKE TELLING LAWYERS, NOT TO USE THE WORDS, FACTS, OR EVIDENCE, OR LAWS! SHIT! THERE ARE A COUPE OF COMEBACK WORDS, FOR 2018, LIKE "ORANG ROUGHY" AND UGLY FISH! LOL. ON THE UP SIDE OF A WIN FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, PORT GAMBLE FOREST: A DECADE OF EFFORT RESULTS IN A PRESERVATION TRIUMPH! YAHOO! SO, WHILE CLOWN ASS UTAH, GETS, GOONEY, TRUMP AND HIS SON'S HUNTING BUDDIES, SEC. OF INTERIOR, RYAN ZINKE, AND V.P. MIKE PENCE, TO UNDO, PREVIOUS PRESIDENT'S WILDERNESS DESIGNATIONS, LIKE UTAH'S ESCALANTE, AND BEAR EARS, MONUMENTS, NOW OPEN FOR, YOU GOT IT, OIL AND GAS, EXPLOITATION, SOMEONE IS DOING, SOMETHING RIGHT UP HERE IN, THE FORESTS! KISSES! GOOD NEWS IN IDAHO . . . UNIVERSITY ROW, OF FRAT HOUSES, AND SORORITY HOUSES, CAN NO LONGER, DRINK! THAT IS A WAY, TO STOP THE HAZING INCIDENTS, BEFORE THE COLLEGE GETS SUED, AND KEEP THE BENEFITS OF JOINING A FRATERNITY OR SORORITY, WHATEVER THOSE ARE . . . NEVER SAW THE NEED, BUT? GOOD JOB IDAHO! ALL GOOD THINGS COME FROM GRASS-ROOTS SOURCES! I HOPE THIS TREND, SPREADS, NATIONWIDE, WE ARE LOSING SOME OF OUR BEST AND BRIGHTEST, A WEEK INTO COLLEGE, FROM DRINKING, FORCED, FOR THE MOST PART, KILLING OUR YOUNG! STOP IT! MAKING IT A VIOLATION, IS EVEN BETTER! NOT ON OUR WATCH! TONS OF THIS IS UNDERAGE DRINKING ANYWAY, FACILITATED AND PUSHED BY OLDERS, FRAT RATS AND SISTERS! COME ON! OPEN YOUR MINDS, THE LARGEST SEX ORGAN, AND THE MOST MAGICAL, PLAYGROUND, YOU WILL EVER DISCOVER! ASK PLAYMOUTH! FUN, FUN, FUN, AND SO, LEARNED IN COLLEGE! I USED TO LOVE TO GET ON THE BUS, IN KALISPELL, OR MISSOULA, AND WATCH THE STUDENTS, AS THEY TRUDGED, TO AND FROM, FINALS, HATING EVERY SECOND OF THE BATTLE FOR THEIR EDUCATION, SO WELL, EARNED BY THE TIME THEY GRADUATE, AND THEY WOULD SAY: JUST "BAD ASS" MAKING ME SMILE AND SEE THAT THEY GOT THE FACT, THAT, THERE IS NO SHORT CUT TO SUCCESS! IT IW ALWAYS, EARNED AND NEVER GIVEN! PAY THE PRICE, AND GET ALL YOU CAN GET OUT OF YOUR EDUCATION, WHETHER, FORMAL OR IN FORMAL! OH, I ALMOST FORGOT! THE SEAHAWKS, JUST, PLAYED IT WILD, FOR A WILD CARD, CHANCE TO GO TO THE PLAYOFFS, YAHOO! I HAVEN'T BEEN A FAN FOR LONG, REALLY SINCE THE LAST, SUPERBOWL, BUT, I AM ALREADY, GETTING, SUPERSTITIOUS, AS TO WHETHER, ME WATCHING THE GAME OR LISTENING TO THE GAME IS JINKZING YOU? LOL. SO GLAD YOU WON, I AM PLANNING ON SUPERBOWL! RIGHT?

GOOD HEARTS IN SEATTLE!

NOW, I AM NOT, A CREDIBLE NEWS SOURCE, AND I MIGHT END UP, BEING NIXED FROM, "OPEN MINDS" BUT, THE ONE THING I DO, RIGHT, IS READ AND RELY, ON CREDIBLE NEWS SOURCES, FOR MY SOURCES . . . SEATTLE TIMES, AND MOST NEWSPAPERS, MAKE THEIR LIVING, BREAD AND BUTTER, ON BEING CREDIBLE, AND THEY PAY, WHEN THEY ARE NOT, SO, GOOD TO READ AND KEEP, HARD COPY, NEWS AND ONLINE, NEWSPAPERS, ALIVE, IN THIS SOCIAL MEDIA WORLD!  BUT, WITH SO MANY, CHARITABLE, DONATIONS AND GOOD, ALL OVER THE CHRISTMAS SEASON . . . A SPECIAL THANKS TO:

THE SEATTLE TIMES, THANKS, YOU MADE A DIFFERENCE!  TOTAL DONATIONS FOR "FUND FOR THE NEEDY" CAME TO ALMOST A MILLION DOLLARS, $988, 362.00!

MANY HANDS, MAKES FOR LIGHT WORK!  WE ARE, OUR BROTHER'S AND SISTER'S KEEPERS!

HIS LAW IS LOVE!

MUCH, SHOWN IN SEATTLE!

HALF THE SKY, GENTLEMEN . . . I ALMOST FORGOT, THE BILL AND MELINDA GATES, FOUNDATION, SPEAKING CHARITABLE FOUNDATIONS, IS TAKING THE "ME TOO" VOICE, OF WOMEN, AND TO A LESS EXTENT MEN, GIVING, WOMEN, ALL OVER THE WORLD VOICES, ON SEXUAL ASSAULT AND HARASSMENT!  THEY HAVE SENT, PEOPLE TO THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES, TO HELP, WOMEN, FARMERS, AND THEY ARE PROVIDING, BIRTH CONTROL AND OTHER, NECESSARY, THINGS, FOR WOMEN, TO RISE UP AND BE ALL THEY CAN BE, TAKING THEIR CHILDREN WITH THEM!

SO AS CONGRESS, GRINDS THE FACES OF THE POOR, IT SEEMS THAT THE RICH, SOME OF THEM, ARE DOING ALL IN THEIR POWER, TO BRING OTHERS UP WITH THEM, SO GREAT!

HALF THE SKY, GENTLEMEN!

KISSES!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
