Donald Trump went on Jimmy Kimmel’s show and demonstrated what a good sport he can be, joining in on a laugh at himself. Kimmel presented a children’s book that he “ghost-wrote” for Trump and read it aloud to him.
Whether you like Trump or not, this is cute and shows a sporting side of Donald Trump that we seldom see.
He even read it to his own granddaughter.
Here’s the video:
This video fascinated me. A photographer throws strangers together, people who likely would not even say “hello” to each other as they passed on the streets, people who seem quite different from each other. What happens makes me think about what could occur if such pairings were made on a large-scale basis.
Let’s collect all the Muslims and ship them out of our country. They don’t add much to our culture, anyway. That’s what some people would have us think. Actually, what would our daily lives be like if Muslims didn’t exist? Before you bathe, have your wake-up cup of coffee, go on a trip, take a video of your grandchild, or a number of other things, watch this video to find out.

Sometimes when I’m watching the morning news I just have to shake my head and say, “Huh?!” Here are samples from just two weeks of newscasts.
A politician in our area, Leland Yee, pled guilty to corruption. He was caught taking bribes and involved in gun-smuggling. During sentencing, the judge decided that he should take into consideration Yee’s “exemplary character.”
Tragically, a woman’s torso was found in a suitcase near a river. Her head was nowhere to be found. With a straight face, the newscaster told us, “Police are now calling it a suspicious death.”
Then there’s the questionable use of the word “alleged,” often uttered several times during a story. There was the video of the guy holding a gun on a cab driver–the guy was referred to as “the alleged gunman.” Then there was Jason Dalton, who “allegedly” said that his Uber app took over his mind and body, causing him to shoot five people–“allegedly,” despite the fact that there’s a recording of him saying it. And, oh yeah, the object discovered at the O.J. Simson crime scene was an “alleged knife.” (Isn’t a knife just a knife?)
Once a person writes the script for a news broadcast, doesn’t he or she proofread it for logic and common sense?
Oh well. It starts my day with a chuckle.
Some claim it never happened. Others hear stories about it from relatives and friends. Still others lived through it. It affects all of us, because it was one of the most heinous crimes that humans have perpetrated against fellow humans. The Holocaust.
Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day. We remember it so that we can prevent it from happening again, even as we see shades of it developing in our world today.
Take a few minutes to view this video, “Rescue,” of people who refused to accept the inhumanity and fought it–and are still fighting it–by taking action.
You don’t have to be Catholic or another branch of Christianity to understand and accept Pope Francis’ short message:
The Pope clearly identifies the name accepted in all non-violent religions.

We’ve come a long way in banishing discrimination in hiring. Or have we? This video presents an interesting–and disturbing–picture.
Imagine that you were on another planet for 44 years and then came back to earth. How much would have changed? How would you adapt?
This video, narrated by a man coming out of prison for 44 years, shows some of the changes you’d face as you tried to get on with your life. You’ll be surprised at some of the things that just happen when we aren’t noticing.
Watch this video about the first-ever indigenous games. Different sports, different costumes, different purpose. What is the same, though, is that people let politics get in the way.
