"The Public's right to know" 

Comment:

The public has the right to know. However, the news dwindled andattached to few news people's opinion, set up by unknown someone. 

Maybe we can keep the gloomy opinions to the opinion show. The Public can make their own conclusion.  Just a thought.

Means..

 

Baby Acc.

 

The tax-deferred investing accounts, which launched on July 4, can include a one-time $1,000 deposit from the Treasury Department for kids born between 2025 and 2028. Other funds may also be available for qualifying families.

But because signing up for a Trump Account has required families to "opt in" by filing IRS Form 4547 with their tax return or via TrumpAccounts.gov, overall participation rates, especially among low-income families, has been low, research shows.

The Social Security Administration previously said it would introduce a process to enroll newborns at the hospital at the same time families request a Social Security number during the birth registration process. 

Griffin..

 

Billionaire hedge fund manager Ken Griffin is doubling down on Miami, announcing on Wednesday a $3 billion donation to help fund a new campus for Carnegie Mellon University in the city.

No university in the history of US education has received such a donation until Citadel founder Ken Griffin pledged an unprecedented $3 billion to Carnegie Mellon University.

Part of the money will go towards making a new campus in Miami where Griffin stays and the rest will be for the development of the university campus in Pittsburgh.

Griffin’s $3 billion gift will consist of $1 billion to support CMU’s Pittsburgh campus, split evenly between flexible support for the university’s highest priorities and a $500 million investment in its top-ranked School of Computer Science, which will be renamed the Kenneth C Griffin School of Computer Science. An additional $2 billion will support the launch of CMU Miami," the university announced.

The Miami campus will support more than 3,500 undergraduate, master’s and PhD students, nearly 300 faculty and more than 600 staff members, with construction slated to begin in 2027.

Griffin will also become a member of Carnegie Mellon’s board of trustees. The board already includes hedge fund billionaire David Tepper, a Carnegie Mellon graduate and donor.

No Help..

Former Vice President Kamala Harris hasn’t yet ditched her reputation for clumsy answers while stumping for controversial US Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan this week to try to help shore up vulnerabilities with black voters.

More Harris rallies are planned for Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.) in Georgia and Nevada gubernatorial Aaron Ford, who is the state AG — but some Democrats are already saying no thanks.

 Adam Hamilton, the megachurch pastor who is the Democrats’ Senate candidate in Kansas, flat-out rejected the idea of a Harris visit.

“No offense to her. But she would not be a help to me. We are a different kind of Democrat . . . I would say please do not come to my state. I do not need you here. You would actually hurt me,” he flatly told NBC.

Anxiety..

 

The fear of artificial intelligence (AI)—often called AI anxiety—stems from concerns over job displacement, deepfakes, autonomous systems, and the rapid, unpredictable pace of technological advancement.  

 People worry that automation and intelligent agents will replace human workers across many industries.

  AI can easily generate convincing deepfakes and fake news that trick the public.

 Some fear that superintelligent systems might eventually evolve beyond human oversight or safety guardrails.  

  Heavy reliance on bots may reduce human critical thinking and practical problem-solving abilities.  

Round tripping..

 

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Wednesday blamed Ukraine for causing high oil prices by attacking Russian energy targets — as the Trump administration scrambles to lower prices at the pump ahead of the Nov. 3 midterm elections.

Bessent’s remarks implicating Ukraine could serve as a warning to Kyiv, which has leaned on the US for military equipment to fend off Russia’s nearly five-year invasion.

“Ukraine has decided that they want to blow up Russian energy assets and refined products. So that is creating upward price pressure on a global basis,” Bessent told “Fox & Friends.”

So The United States give weapons to the Ukraine to defend itself, but it is used to increase US oil cost in the world. No wonder.  Just a thought.

Opinion..

 

Reporting own opinion, thinking, imagination and expectation aren't what many want. But some may. Just a thought.

Fake ..

 

Three news organizations whose journalists were banned from the White House last week are suing President Donald Trump and three top advisers, calling the abrupt lockout a “direct assault on the First Amendment.”

POLITICO, CNN and MS NOW said in a joint statement Monday that they are bringing the federal lawsuit in a bid to immediately restore access for their reporters, who were denied entry to the White House complex on Saturday and had their credentials confiscated by the Secret Service.

The White House is not instituting an assault on the Free Press, something which I cherish. It is instituting an assault on the FAKE NEWS, something that has grown like Cancer in our beloved United States of America,” he wrote on Truth Social early Monday. “It is corrupt, purposeful, pervasive, fully coordinated, and totally out of control. It is a threat to our National Security, and must be stopped, NOW!”

Some have their own agenda. 

Alice..

 

Alice Walton has been one of the richest women in the world for years. She came by her massive $100 billion-plus fortune by way of being part of the family behind Walmart, the No. 2 Fortune 500 company (only this year beat out by Amazon). 

Walton’s wealth continues to skyrocket despite her dedication as an art patron and philanthropist. In fact, between March 2025 and March 2026, her net worth grew a whopping $33 billion, according to Forbes. 
Today, she’s worth nearly $120 billion. She did that without running the company or even sitting on the board of Walmart, unlike her brothers who also hold significant shares of Walmart.
Alice, who is the youngest child of Walmart founder Sam Walton, co-manages Walton Enterprises, which is one of the two family holding companies that controls an estimated 39%-44% of the retailer.  
She founded the tuition-free Alice L. Walton School of Medicine (AWSOM) in Bentonville, Arkansas, welcoming its inaugural class in 2025. 

Regret..

 

Socrates famously advised, "By all means, marry. If you get a good wife, you'll become happy; if you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher". 

He argued that regardless of the choice—marriage or celibacy—one will eventually experience regret, framing it as a choice between marital bliss or the wisdom gained through hardship.

The core message is that all major life decisions carry inherent compromises and regrets, often leading to questioning the path not taken.

• In his foundational work Either/Or, Kierkegaard famously writes that whether you marry or do not marry, you will regret it either way, reflecting the tragic structure of human choice and the romanticizing of the unchosen path.  
 Rather than discouraging marriage, his paradox teaches that freedom means accepting a path and bearing its cost, as seeking a flawless, regret-free decision only leads to paralysis.
• Comment:
• That was then, now is different. Just a thought.

Panda..

 

Chinese President Xi Jinping announced gifts for the United States during his September 2026 state visit to Washington, including two giant pandas for Zoo Atlanta and an invitation for 100,000 young American students to study in China over the next five years.  

Ping Ping and Fu Shuang: Chinese President Xi Jinping announced that China will send two giant pandas—a male named Ping Ping and a female named Fu Shuang, both born in 2020—to Zoo Atlanta as symbols of friendship. 

 Xi Jinping announced that 100,000 young American students will be invited to study in China over the next five years, remarking during his visit that making America great again and the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation can go hand-in-hand.  

 In return during a White House state dinner, U.S. President Donald Trump presented Xi Jinping with an ornate sculpture of a bald eagle that he and First Lady Melania Trump helped design.  

Camino De Santiago..

The Camino de Santiago is a famous network of ancient walking and cycling pilgrimage routes leading to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in northwestern Spain, where the remains of the apostle St. James are believed to be buried. 

Camino Francés (The French Way): The most popular route. It starts in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port on the French side of the Pyrenees and spans about 780 km (485 miles) across northern Spain. It takes roughly 30 to 35 days to complete.  
Camino Portugués: Starts in Portugal (commonly Porto) and takes about 10 to 14 days. [1]
The Last 100 km (Sarria to Santiago): Many beginners choose this final stretch of the French Way. Walking 100 km (or cycling 200 km) is the minimum requirement to receive the official completion certificate, known as the Compostela. This section takes about 5 to 7 days.  

History: The pilgrimage began in the 9th century after the alleged discovery of St. James's tomb. It became one of the most important Christian pilgrimages of the Middle Ages. 
Symbols: The yellow arrow and the scallop shell mark the trail. Pilgrims historically wore or carried a scallop shell as a badge of honor and a practical tool for gathering water or food along the way.

Open Hate..

How media outlets should be covering Trump’s second term, Dan Abrams said they need to “give credit” to Trump when he gets something right instead of being so open in their “hate” for a man that many cable news hosts openly branded a threat to democracy.

“I think that the media needs to try to restore credibility,” Abrams said.
He argued that Trump could have successes in foreign policy like the war in Ukraine or the Middle East and covering those topics will be a challenge for media outlets opposed to his presidency.

 Abrams argued that some controversies surrounding Trump ended up being a “gift” to him, including the hush money trial to adult film star Stormy Daniels.  The trial received major coverage on MSNBC, CNN, and other outlets.

Abrams said there is a “Trump derangement syndrome” in some of the media where hosts and pundits are incapable to giving any credit to Trump because of their opposition to him.

Fairytale..

 

Myth: Married people (with children) say over the years that children will care for their parents in their old age. 
Many of these folks rarely see their grown children, as several live across town, in other states, or in other countries. They don't get to enjoy their grandchildren except for an occasional phone call."
 They can split responsibilities that align with their likes and abilities, but single people do it all, even if they don't know how."

Myth: Single person's  lonelyness.  

"Married people assume that single persons have more free time and money than them. They forget that couples split household duties and expenses, while single people have to keep up with everything themselves.

 "Some thinks single persons have missed the boat, missed out on 'the fairytale,' 

But the 'fairytale' is just that, a fairytale, and it has nothing to do with real life. 

How many people are still married to their first spouse? Or second, or third, or fourth? 

People leave these relationships mostly traumatized."

Dirtbag..

 

Senator John Fetterman is speaking out against the shifting ideological landscape within the Democratic Party as socialist candidates secure primary victories across the country. 

The Pennsylvania senator took to social media on Sunday afternoon to express his frustration with the growing preference for socialist policies among his party base, The Hill reported.

Fetterman is worried about the direction his colleagues are heading, especially as insurgent progressive candidates continue to see success in places like New York, Los Angeles, Michigan, and Colorado. 

The senator’s concerns are rooted in recent data from a CBS News poll that highlights a significant divide in how Democrats view economic systems.

Fetterman did not hold back when reacting to these statistics. “The Democratic Party is becoming the party of socialism. 58% view socialism positively. 50% view capitalism negatively. I’m a proud free market capitalist.  This is lunacy,” he wrote.

In late June, he offered a warning regarding the increasing prominence of what he described as the “dirtbag left.
