How about a few headlines not from foreign newspapers?

Holy Fool P Zombie:
Wow, thatâs only a headline in this newsy American website!
How it works:
"What happens when the wrong guy from the wrong political party gets nominated to run for President? You put together a cabal of like-minded individuals to take him out, thatâs what. And if one of your former advisors who had the temerity to slight you 2 years ago you joins that guy? You settle the score. Chicago style. Thus, Obama and his minions set about to do just that.
In July 2012 Obama appointed Mike Flynn to head the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). In the tradition of former generals occupying this position (I.E. Stanley McChrystal) Flynn began questioning the hair brained policies of the Obama Administration. Apparently, he disagreed with the High Handicapper in Chiefâs assessment of ISIS as the JV team, so, 2 years into a 3-year tenure he was summarily sacked.
Now out of office, Flynn was free to criticize with impunity. At a 2015 Foreign Affairs Committee hearing he called the Obama Iran deal, âwishful thinking.â As if this wasnât bad enough, a few months later he joined Trumpâs campaign in February 2016 as an advisor on national security. A seething Obama plotted his revenge."
Rest of the story:
Whatâs new in the BBC news? 
And technology will continue, to improve our lives - during this pandemic.

Thank you for your reply. You are personally acquainted with countless millionaires? Surely they did more than invest their paychecks, $500 or whatever at a time? Wealthy people I have known or read about had unusual talent, and/or took chances on investments in property of one kind or another. Let me revise my statement: I have heard over the years - before Trump became popular - that it is not unusual for a millionaire to have declared bankruptcy at least once. Perhaps that will set better with you. And, I think I have heard it more than once.
He has built the American economy, made it easier for people to build their businesses with deregulation and brought unemployment way down. If he sees the tax cuts and tariffs making things worse, Iâm sure heâs smart enough to fix it. I donât put stock in pessimism.
Meanwhile, there is an interesting research study.
And what is the US opinion of other countries?
And how many are affected by job loss?
I have fond memories of the past, before this COVID-19 pandemic.
And this song brought back old memories. It was my field study and being an extended family member, of the Two Feathers Medicine Clan. The Eagle was the Lakota bird of North America and the Condor of South America. Besides knowledge of the Christian faith, I am constantly remined I carry knowledge of Native American spiritual ways, Eastern spiritual ways, Spiritual Healing Ways and Natural Medicine Ways (like homeopathy and Traditional Chinese Medicine) with me. 
And William T Kelly was never president. Go f ing figure.
I pity those folks from Australia. NOT only do they have COVID-19 to worry about, but now this.
A bit about BBC news folks:
Let me quote a bit.
Its estimated weekly audience of 84 million makes it the BBCâs biggest television service.
Available in more than 440m homes, 3m hotel rooms, on 165 cruise ships, 30 commercial vessels, 13 commercial airlines, and 36 mobile phone networks - BBC World News broadcasts a diverse mix of authoritative international news, sport, weather, business, current affairs, and documentary programming.
And we have this question to deal with.
But we have good leadership examples, to show us the right way forward.
Your having âheardâ something doesnât count as making it reality. I have heard many things numerous times that are balderdash. In arguing one has to stiff workers and suppliers by declaring bankruptcy in order to be a millionaire, you mock people with personal responsiblity investing their paltry paychecks to become millionaires. In truth very few millionaires have declared bankruptcy, much less multiple times.
Most of them got there through hard work and putting aside part of their earnings to multiply it. The reality is that like many others, I was a low paid pastor in expensive California, never paid over $39,000/year, and did not find it difficult to accumulate a million dollars by putting a percent aside to invest for the future. Thatâs how I retired at age 51. Not by declaring bankruptcy.
As for your belief in how smart Trump is, perceptions of his brilliance widely differ.
Listen up, black folks! Youâre not black if you think for yourself!!
Of course. Folks must think for themselves.
From this inspiring message, Iâm all for zombies from Z-Hell (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) - opening up churches.
Oh, yes. The Biden story.
How is that Trump âmiracle drugâ doing?
Let me quote a bit.
The drug US President Donald Trump said he was taking to ward off Covid-19 actually increases the risk of patients with the disease dying from it, a study in the Lancet has found.
Geez, taking the black vote for granted, much, Joe?
Here are the worst examples of Bidenâs racism and white supremacist beliefsâŚ
1.) âWhite Kidsâ are Smarter than Other Kids â August 2019:
We should challenge these students, we should challenge students in these schools to have advanced placement programs in these schools. We have this notion that somehow if youâre poor you cannot do it, poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.
2.) Brags About His Ability to Work with Racists â June 2019
âI was in a caucus with James O. Eastland [and Herman Talmadge],â Biden said with an attempted Southern drawl. âHe never called me boy, he always called me son.â
âWell guess what?â the former vice president continued. âAt least there was some civility. We got things done. We didnât agree on much of anything. We got things done. We got it finished. But today you look at the other side and youâre the enemy. Not the opposition, the enemy. We donât talk to each other anymore.â
Eastland and Talmadge were arch-segregationists who opposed civil rights and saw black people as an âinferior race.â
3.) Brags About Segregationist Democrat Not Calling Him âBoyâ Like He Did Others â 2019
âI was in a caucus with James O. Eastland,â the former vice president said while putting on a Southern drawl. âHe never called me boy, he always called me son.â
4.) Appears to Use Racist Term âRoachesâ to Describe Black Kids â 2017
By the way, you know, I sit on the stand, and it get[s] hot. I got a lot, I got hairy legs that, that, that, that turn blonde in the sun, and the kids used to come up and reach in the pool and rub my leg down so it was straight and then watch the hair come back up again. Theyâd look at it. I learned about roaches, I learned about kids jumping on my lap.
When he spoke, Biden was surrounded by black children, he was also referring to his time as a lifeguard, where he says the swimmers were mostly black kids.
5.) Mocks Indian-Americans â 2006
You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkinâ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. Iâm not joking.
6.) Describes Barack Obama Is a âBright and Cleanâ Black Person â 2007
You got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, thatâs a storybook, man.
7.) Uses Antisemitic Term âShylockâ â 2014
Watch belowâŚ
8.) Praised Democrat Segregationist as âMan of Characterâ â 1988
On the floor of the U.S. Senate in 1988, Biden praised segregationist Sen. John Stennis (D-MS) as a âman of character,â even after the Democrat sought to oppose Brown v. Board of Education with something called The Southern Manifesto . In fact, Biden has even bragged about Stennis gifting him with the table the Southern Manifesto was signed on.
9.) Segregation Is Good for Black People â 1975
I think the concept of busing ⌠that we are going to integrate people so that they all have the same access and they learn to grow up with one another and all the rest, is a rejection of the whole movement of black pride, is a rejection of the entire black awareness concept, where black is beautiful, black culture should be studied and the cultural awareness of the importance of their own identity.
10.) Democrat Party Needs More People Like Racist Democrat Governor George Wallace â 1975
I think the Democratic Party could stand a liberal George Wallace â someone whoâs not afraid to stand up and offend people, someone who wouldnât pander but would say what the American people know in their gut is right.
And now you have Biden, friend to segregationists, defender of segregation, telling black people that if they vote for Trump â and 1.8 million did in 2016 â they are not black.
Well, Biden apologizes. Come to think of it, when have we EVER seen president Trump apologize for anything?
Should we expect a quick, economic turnaround?
So please donât be singing, this song anytime soon.
Oh goody - Joe apologized. Not for the list of things I posted - just his âlatestâ gaffe - he has them every time he speaks now, poor man. I donât know if T has apologized or not - this was about JOE. YOUR next president?? The one with that list - at a minimum - of racism and insults to blacks and others. Over a lifetime.
Anyway - I raise some points about Joeâs past behavior, and like Lefties (I donât think you are one) you change the topic to Trump, using the âEVERâ?? - just like the BBC!! Itâs all Trump, all the time - you are now in that camp, I guess? I cannot post anything positive about DT or negative about Joe, or I will get a snarky response.
No, Iâm not a lefty - whatever that is. I value things that Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholics, and Republicans value - like their abortion positions. But Iâm all for some things that Democrats value, like a universal health care system. But I disagree with other things, like transgender bathrooms.
Anyway, Trump gives the BBC and me - Food for fodder. And itâs part of my job description, as an âaspiringâ Holy Fool.
As an aside, I did look into past issues of World Weekly News. They also spin Trump, in a different light. For example:
:
As I posted elsewhere - âElsewhere, I posted an article describing the on-the-record racist statements of Joe Biden, throughout his career. The response I got was like this: âWell Joe has apologized for his latest gaffe. What the REAL issue is - when has Trump EVER apologized for anything?â So - we will overlook what should be a huge issue, an eye-opener, an OMG moment of a man running for a powerful position - and ask an irrelevant question about Trump instead.â
Itâs a very relevant question. Biden did something âallegedlyâ bad. He apologized. Trump did something âallegedlyâ bad. - many times. Did he apologize? Itâs a fair question. Of course, an apology doesnât erase the original action. 
Exactly, all politicians say and do foolish things, but having an ego thatâs unusually unable to ever acknowledge that he has erred, or done anything needing forgiveness, seems the biggest risk.
P.S. And what Bidden said was awful! Iâm just glad that he can at least recognize that.

In the midst of a head to head political contest between Biden and Trump, when you lodge a partisan criticism of one sideâs awful words, it seems naĂŻve to demand no comparison be raised between these opponents, and how they handle their own crazy statements or deeds, as if comparisons are irrelevant.
My perception is that most participants here acknowledge faults in the Dem candidateâs statements, but when Trump says something abysmal, and never even apologizes for it, the majority here totally fails to acknowledge he does it, and most typically defend whatever he says. I suspect most Americans, just like Randy, are not blind to that double standard.
