Despite looking like he would hang on and finish the contest in November, President Joe Biden announced today that he was quitting the race. In a note on X, the President wrote: “It has been the greatest

I just got done watching the closing night of the Republican National Convention, which was closed out surprisingly by a (pretty decent) opera singer. Donald Trump gave the speech of his life, and was

I was watching a clip of a very obese woman being pushed by her handlers to run a long course to lose weight. I was struck at how hard and fast they were pushing her, and was concerned about the effect

So I'm surfing the web and am shocked to see reports of shots fired at a Trump rally in the far western reaches of my state. I wanted this to be fireworks or something instead of gunshots, because in this

I am daily impressed with the progress that the brave people of Burma (Myanmar) are making in fighting for their country with no assistance from the west. I've been following and staying up on the latest

When I write a blog post, I try to write about things that the average reader can relate to. All of the trials and tribulations, struggles and eventual victories that we all go through along the way in

I've been very lucky in that aside from my grandmother, I haven't had to endure losing anyone in my family that was close to me. However, a week ago, a neighbor passed away quietly without anyone knowing.

Twenty years ago on July 6, 2004, (the first day of trading after the holiday), The stock price of Apple (AAPL) opened at $0.56, and closed at $0.47... That's right. Three years after the opening of the

Strains of I Am The Walrus by The Beatles (my favorite group), fill my ears as I write this. I rejected several ideas for posts today as nothing quite hit that sweet spot that you get when something inspires

I'm a patriotic American who loves this land, but my absolute favorite country in the world is England and the UK in general. I've felt that way since I was a little boy and would watch British TV shows

I watched the way-too-early-in-the-campaign-season US Presidential debate last night. The reviews are in and it looks like it may be curtains for Biden (unless he can pull an rabbit out of his hat), while

Is that what they call it? A game, a match? Who knows. Anyway, as a typical American I don't watch soccer as I don't understand it. I watched this one because a friend I know from overseas was in it, and

The world is a big place, and we as publishers need to keep that in mind when we publish our blog posts. Contrary to popular belief here in the states, there ARE actually countries out there besides America.

We've all heard the phrase "live your best life" but I'm going to call this post 'Give your Best Life' in honor of those who take delight in helping others. I receive genuine joy in helping other

Before I joined Steemit in 2017, I spent years writing about technology on Blogger. I can still remember the horror of clicking the button to publish that first post. I didn't want anyone to see my early

It must be 100 degrees out, as it looks like that infernal (I like that word) heat dome has made its way "back east" from the south and the Midwest where it belongs. Went to the laundry and thought

I took a look at the blog posts I published that had the most support over the last year. Of the subjects that I posted about, the vast majority that attracted the most upvotes, were the ones about Hive

I don't normally talk about politics here, but I'm genuinely surprised at the reactions I get when I hear who plans to vote for whom in the 2024 US Presidential elections. Just when I thought people would

In late 2017 I lived in Europe and had a hard time setting up a Coinbase account as a US citizen residing on the continent. Recently I shared how the same firm made it difficult to buy crypto (which I

A few days ago I ran into an elderly woman who I'd seen once in awhile around town. I was sitting on a bench using my phone when I saw her short, stout form approaching pulling a very full hand cart. Looking
