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 ...

If you miss those dates, you may be inconvenienced, but these benefi...

Learning from the dumbest

Wilson County News ·

2025/11/04

Editor: My dear ole pappy was one of the smartest and most generous people on the planet. Every hour of every day he spent not only solving the problems of his family but also thinking, “Who else can I help today?” His constant criticism of his No. 2 son resulted from a disappointment in an unfulfilled potential. He could see something his son could not. He expected a rocksteady soldier who played by the rules and won. Instead, he watched in horror that his creation was indeed a wild and reck...

Big news from Argentina is the electoral victory of the Advancing Liberty party of President Javier Milei. Milei initially won the presidency in 2023 brandishing a chainsaw as a message of how he was going to cut the runaway government that has been destroying the lives of Argentinians.

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...

Wilson County News ·

2025/11/04

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