***News from all over...all in one place***

For our new members/visitors: Welcome!

As I have said before, I do not always agree with all the articles I post.

I do think it's important to know what others around the US and globe are doing and saying.
I believe the people who come here are smart enough to use discernment when reading news articles.

I search the news wires from all over, in hopes to find news that gives us a better understanding of the world we live in.
Our 'MSM' just spoon feeds us what they want us to know/think.

Thanks so much for taking time out of your day to come here and catch up.
Feel free to share our daily news threads on social media.

If you find news stories that we have missed, feel free to add them to the current daily thread with links.

***NOTE: If you leave the page open, you need to refresh to see new posts.
