   Miguel wasn’t the fastest kid in his class, but he could run. Fast enough for third-grade softball, you know. And fast enough to get a kite up in the air. It was recess and several other kids were flying kites today. Just enough breeze to keep one up.

Guest Opinion: A VALENTINE FOR A CAREGIVER

By Peter Rosenberger 

Of the 43.5 million of those providing unpaid care to an adult or child in the last year, AARP shares that 60 percent are women.  Following a somewhat exhaustive search, no data seems to exist reflecting how the laundry and household chores are divided between men and women. Based upon calls to my show and conversations had with many male caregivers, however, a growing trend seems to show that while their wives struggle to care for an aging parent, many men seem to overlook the growing pile of laundry in the home—as well as other things.

TRUMP DRIVES SOCIALIST WEDGE IN DEMOCRATIC PARTY DURING SOTU ADDRESS

By Joe Sixpack 

President Donald Trump touched a few third rails during his State of the Union (SOTU) address. He also dared utter one word which showed the American people the nexus where the old and new Democratic Party meet. 

That word? Socialism. 

When Trump boomed, “America will never be a Socialist country”, one side of the aisle stood and applauded loudly. The Democratic establishment – represented by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi remained seated while half-heartedly applauding, as if they were sitting on a fence. On one side of the fence sits a significant percentage of their voting bloc, which openly supports Socialism. On the other side of the fence sits the Reagan Democrat base that has not yet defected to Trump.

Four Ways to Provide for Your Family

 

(February 5, 2019)--It doesn’t matter if you’re a mom or a dad - providing for your family will feel like an innate, instinctual obligation. More than that, it’s one of the most pleasurable things that you can do as a responsible, thoughtful parent. The question is: in which areas are your provisions most required and appreciated? How can you translate your work and your earnings into the kind of life that your family deserves? This short article has the answers, looking at four main pillars of family life, and how you can help support them through constant loving provision.

Finances

All families rely on a constant source of income to provide the material necessities and lifestyle extras of family life. As a parent, providing in the economic arena is as important as it comes, because a sudden loss of income can cause huge disruption to your way of life and stability of your family. Whether it’s doubling down at work, finding extra employment, or taking out a single premium life insurance policy to protect yourself in worst-case scenarios, managing your family’s finances will help your children and your partner grow in a nourishing, safe environment.

Dawn Watson's Just Sayin': Stranger Danger

Dawn Watson | CNBNews Contributor

 

   GLOUCESTER CITY, NJ (February 4, 2019)-- I went for a walk around my block the other day. It turned into an adventure.

 

   First of all, I live in a neighborhood where everybody knows your name. That isn’t always a good thing because they can address your indiscretions personally. Like, “Hey Dawn, I saw that your recycle bin spilled out onto the street yesterday. Switched from Blue Moon to Pabst? You okay?”

   And, “Hey Dawn, I see by your birth date that you just got your social security check. Can I borrow five bucks?” and so on.

 

   Those are just the things a small-town person deals with. But last week, it was different.

 

   My truck wouldn’t start. And I needed food for my dogs. I needed to take the Shoe Leather Express.
