"Nice News"

It's everywhere you look.

Call me a positive-spin reporter, if you must. But it’s better than being a negative-spin reporter. Why is negative spin (i.e. doomsday click bait) considered to be more noble or diligent than positive spin?

Even worse is the so-called “unbiased” reporting, those who share right wing comments or news with no context. To me that’s dangerous and irresponsible. This Tweet that got 35K likes and 15K shares, providing a free boost to this horrible message from horrible people, and with no context. I refuse to like or share these Tweets, or even follow pundits who do this.

In fact, I consider myself a facts-only reporter. All my writing is well-researched, includes sources, and draws clear well-defined conclusions. Because of my Louise Moscow spy thrillers, one of my friends calls me “Black Widow” after the KGB-slaying Avengers character.

Those I do follow are loud and proud Democrats, like my heroes Edward Stull and Gloria Horton-Young, both of whom attended the Harris-Walz rally in Las Vegas yesterday!

My dear friend, my hero, Viet Nam War vet Edward Stull attending the Harris-Walz rally in Las Vegas tonight.

Some absolute masters of reporting POSITIVE POLITICAL NEWS are Chop Wood, Carry Water, and GOD himself.

There are also two “nice” and “good” daily newsletters that I am subscribed to, literally called Nice News and the GoodNewsLetter. For example, Nice News recently featured this uplifting article:

Gratitude

If I sound grumpy and this post seems scattered today, it’s because I’m exhausted. But I’m not too tired to choose gratitude. Yesterday we got back to Los Angeles from our summer place in Hayden (Aryan Nation), Idaho, and I’m grateful to be home.

Here’s the produce I just gathered from our yard. At the market today picking up a few groceries, I saw the price of lemons, 2 for $3.00. When I got home, for a short climb down a steep hill, I gratefully picked these lemons from our tree for free. 💛 🍋 🙏🏻

BTW, if you live in a dry climate and love kale as much as I do, I highly recommend growing your own. It is critter resistant and keeps growing back. It has become my new diet staple!

CHECK YOUR VOTER REGISTRATION!

Today, I checked my California voter registration and saw that I was NOT registered!!

But, just last week I checked my voter registration and I WAS registered!! WTH?

All kinds of factors can effect your voter registration, such as, in my case, opening a new business checking account using a mailing address that is different from my voter registration address. I immediately re-registered to vote. PHEW!!! 😅

So, even though the National Motor Voter Act says you can’t be removed from the voter rolls less than 90 days from the election, you MUST check your voter registration every week until November 5th!

We’re past the 90-day point now, so if you check your voter status and you’re an active voter, your state can NOT change that before the election. Take a screenshot, keep it handy, and if there are any issues, you’ve got proof that you’re an active voter. If there’s any question at the polls, you’ve got documentation.

But REMEMBER, because of these weird quirks with bank applications and such, even in very pro-voter California, check your voter registration every WEEK!

Have a nice week!💙
