By this I did not mean legal responsibility, but rather a personal responsibility.
First of all, I just passed 6k followers and I’m floored. I am absolutely amazed that so many people find why I say interesting enough that they might wasn’t to here more.
Or the memes make you crack up.
Either way, I thank you all

I have said
When I was a kid, the news, with the exception of the occasional fluff piece, was terribly boring.
Monotone anchors told the audience about the days events.
They reported facts with no spin on it.
I think news as infotainment
trump rose to power, not because he was good at leading, but because he was so absurd that people “Howard Sterned” him.
Those who loved him wanted to see what he would do next.
People who hated him did the same
Every absurd statement, every scandal propelled him into the top stories of the day.
We need to make the news boring again. Fewer editorials and more facts.
Can we please have more outlets like NPR who don’t rely on partisan advertising for revenue?
The sum of human knowledge fits in the palm of your hand now.
Information is powerful.
Disinformation is too.
Information is health food.
Infotainment is junk food, it’s fun, and sometimes it tastes great, but you should consume it in moderation.
Wear a mask. Be safe. Stay healthy and thanks for reading.

My piece in the NY Times today: "the Trump administration is denying applications submitted to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services at a rate 37 percent higher than the Obama administration did in 2016."
Based on this analysis: "Denials for immigration benefits—travel documents, work permits, green cards, worker petitions, etc.—increased 37 percent since FY 2016. On an absolute basis, FY 2018 will see more than about 155,000 more denials than FY 2016." https://t.co/Bl0naOO0sh
"This increase in denials cannot be credited to an overall rise in applications. In fact, the total number of applications so far this year is 2 percent lower than in 2016. It could be that the higher denial rate is also discouraging some people from applying at all.."
Thanks to @gsiskind for his insightful comments. The increase in denials, he said, is “significant enough to make one think that Congress must have passed legislation changing the requirements. But we know they have not.”
My conclusion:
