Shorts and stops: Halloween, starving people, TDS

2025/11/04

He did it again Fresh off President Donald Trump’s successful whirlwind trip to Asia, he arrived back at the White House just in time to greet young Halloween trick-or-treaters. Rather than “retiring to the basement” in exhaustion after a week of intense negotiations, Trump stood by the door to personally greet the kids at the annual White House event. Showing his usual sense of humor, he placed a candy on a child’s head instead of putting it in the trick-or-treat bag. The same move, captured...

We'd better start thinking about future jobs

Wilson County News ·

Dropping heavier workloads on those who remain seems to be another part of the plan. AI is considered “intelligent” automation. In other words, ...

Hiding the facts on hunger

Wilson County News ·

2025/11/04

Editor: As a college student majoring in Dietetics at Southwest Texas State University, I completed a report on hunger. I was astonished and somewhat naive to find during my research that a published report, “Hunger in America 1968,” stated there were children in San Antonio that suffered malnutrition and starvation. I could not believe in my state, in my part of Texas, that this could be true. My further research proved it true and thus I began my career in advocating good nutrition for all ...

Big news from Argentina is the electoral victory of the Advancing Liberty party of President Javier Milei.
