The Contributed Content Backlash
Newsroom staffs have continued to dwindle over the last few years while the demand for breaking news and 'round the clock coverage has skyrocketed. This has put tremendous stress on the remaining reporters and their editors, who have to weed through hundreds and possibly thousands of pitches and news announcements on a daily basis. They have to determine what is critical to cover immediately, what stories are interested but can wait, and those they just don't have the time or interest in. Reporters now typically have to submit a few and sometimes dozens of stories daily. They aren't able to truly deep-dive into many stories or passion projects.
To help relieve this pressure from their staffs, editors started opening up contributor networks, giving outside, non-staff experts the opportunity to share their perspective on timely topics, while helping add more content to their sites.
This was well-received for quite some time, what seemed to be a win-win for media and brands alike. Media got the supply of content needed to fill the demand requested by readers, while thought leaders, executives and brands were able to share their specific perspectives on the news of the day.
But recently there has been some backlash. Media outlets like TechCrunch have rescinded their contributed network offers, citing the amount of articles they receive that they "strongly suspected where ghost-written by PR or really had no business being given the platform."
While I'm not a fan of blaming the entire quality issue on PR, I understand the delicate balance outlets are trying to achieve. As a result, these outlets and probably many more will overcorrect and severely limit or completely eliminate their contributed content programs. In turn, businesses and their leaders will need to find different and some possibly new avenues to consider as part of their PR and thought leadership programs.
No need for much concern though. There are more platforms than ever before for people to publish and share their viewpoints beyond traditional media outlets and blogs -- LinkedIn, Medium, to name a few.
Some may few these platforms as the "easy way" to get content published and out into the public sphere, believing that this isn't "real coverage". True. Media coverage in traditional outlets will now mostly pertain to news.
But if you are wanting to focus on thought leadership, publishing on these alternative platforms and having a well executed socialization plan in place can make your readership and impact as strong as a what you may have hoped to achieved with a previous guest post on a traditional blog.
Thinking About Thought Leadership
Today's post comes from ROAM Communications network partner, Rory J. O'Connor, Chief Storyteller at San Francisco-based Morcopy Communications. He is an award-winning former journalist and long-time senior PR executive, who provides executive communications consulting and writing services to corporate clients.
There's hardly a corporate communications program that doesn't include a "thought leadership" component, whether the goal is to increase the visibility of a key executive, position a brand to stand apart from its competitors, or influence the direction of an industry or public issue.
Unfortunately, few of those programs succeed as well in practice as they do on paper. What often gets in the way of success is fear of risk.
Being a true thought leader is inherently risky. It requires an individual or a brand to be bold, to take a stand on something important, or point with confidence to a vision of the future. But taking a stand means choosing sides, and predicting the future means you might be wrong. The stronger the stand, the more risk there is of opposition; the bolder the vision, the greater the risk it won't come to pass.
The temptation is to back away from that risk -- but that also saps a thought leadership campaign of vitality and effectiveness. You wind up with speeches that don't excite audiences, op-eds that don't entice editors, and blog posts that don't ignite conversations.
Don't run away from those risks: Embrace them instead, and then build your campaign around these five key principles:
Embrace a powerful point of view. Leadership means choosing a direction for others to follow and providing a compelling reason to follow that path. you can't base a thought leadership campaign on just putting all the options on the table with their pros and cons. That's confusing analysis with opinion. Tell the audience what you believe, and make it clear why they should care.
Be provocative. One of the greatest values of a thought leadership campaign is its ability to spark a conversation around your point of view. Unless you create that spark, though, what's there to talk about? Trying to make your point in a way that pleases everyone will inspire no one. Think about what grabs your attention: things like conflict, controvery, contrarian views are going to get your audience to pay attention.
Say something new and timely. Leaders are, by definition, ahead of everyone else. Putting an old idea in a new package isn't going to put you ahead or earn you mindshare. What will do that is a fresh approach, a different prism on the issue, an unexpected idea, that's relevant to the audience.
Offer solutions and a call to action. It's not enough to talk about all the problems out there -- once you tell people why they should care, tell them what they can do about it. If you're talking to the right audience, they probably already know what the problems are, because they are experiencing them. If you're going to lead the discussion, then don't rehash the problems: Show the way forward.
Be transparent. Transparency is the key to credibility. There's nothing inherently wrong with having a point of view that aligns with your business interests. But you should acknowledge where those interests lie. Otherwise, the conversation will soon focus on what's in it for you, not for your audience.
Finally, even if you follow these principles, a thought leadership campaign rarely succeeds overnight. It takes time to earn a following and respect with a target audience. One of the most successful thought leadership campaigns of my career, which a colleague and I developed for a major global technology brand, developed quite gradually over 18 months. We were fortunate to have a CEO who both embraced the risk and was willing to invest the right level of time and resources. Setting expectations at the outset will help ensure the campaign has the opportunity to deliver its full value.


Maritime boundary, direct road link gas import boosting of bilateral trade, enhancing cooperation between the armies of the two countries dominated the talks between Chief Adviser Dr Fakhruddin Ahmed and the visiting Myanmar delegation led by Vice-Chairman of the ruling State Peace and Development Council of Myanmar Vice-senior General Maung Aye, at the Chief Adviser's office yesterday.
"In the talks the chief adviser has proposed to extend the proposed road-link up to China," foreign adviser Dr Iftekhar told a press briefing after the talks.
"We have also proposed to have a tripartite meeting involving China and our two countries. Myanmar side said that they would let us know about their decision after exploring the feasibility as, according to them, there are issues of resource mobilisation," he added.
Asked about tentative date for the construction of the 23-km road connecting Bangladesh and Myanmar, he said it would be clear after tomorrow's meeting with Communications Advisor Maj Gen (retd) Golam Quader. Bangladesh earlier pledged to provide financial support for the 20.3 million road.
Responding to a question on this issue foreign secretary Touhidur Rahman said that Myanmar was not engaged in any kind of exploration in the areas, which Bangladesh claimed as its own.
Myanmar agreed to Bangladesh proposal to increase the quantum of export of rice to one-lakh ton from 50,000 on a regular basis. It was decided that the commerce ministries of the two countries will finalise the matter in a couple of days.
Bangladesh also proposed to import gas from Myanmar through a pipeline to use it for producing fertiliser to be exported to Myanmar to meet its demand. They responded positively to the proposal Foreign adviser said that both sides agreed to resolve the Rohingya refugee crisis. "Presently 21 thousand Rohinga refugees are staying in Bangladesh and we have proposed to repatriate them immediately through a tripartite mechanism involving Myanmar, UNHRC and Bangladesh," he said adding that the Myanmar side agreed to resolve the problem through further talks.
The meeting also stressed the need for boosting the bilateral trade from the present 140 millions dollar to 500 million dollar.
"In this connection we have agreed to increase import of fresh fish from Myanmar and to increase exports of pharmaceutical products from Bangladesh. These will be finalised through further talks between the commerce ministries and the private sector delegations between the two countries," he said.
Following the meeting an agreement on avoiding double taxation was signed between the two countries.
Replying to a question, the foreign adviser said that since the issue of contract farming in Myanmar land by Bangladeshi farmers was a complicated one it would require further discussions.
Asked to detail the nature of cooperation between the armies of the two countries, he said that the areas of such cooperation are training, exchange of visits and best practices.
He said that in recent years the relations between the two countries reached a new height and it is expected that it would be warmer further after the visit of the high profile 55 member Myanmar delegation including involving six ministers.
Press Secretary to the chief adviser Syed Fahim Munaim was present at the briefing and later told newsmen that the attitude of the Myanmar side was very positive.
Agencies add: The chief adviser, Dr Chowdhury said, proposed inclusion of China in the road link project for tripartite benefit while General Maung Aye assured him of considering the proposal.
The foreign adviser said, Dr Fakhruddin also proposed direct air link between Dhaka and Yangon alongside the road connectivity for increased trade relations.

You are here: Home / World War I and Paris / Red Cross And Red Tape
Red Cross And Red Tape
OH, that some Florence Nightingale would arise in France to break down the bars of professional jealousy and official red tape, so that those who are giving so freely their lives might receive the loving care that is their due when they are wounded on the battlefield!
Without exception, the newspapers of the French capital have taken up this question. They have spoken as freely as the censor would allow them, and have bitterly contrasted the inefficiency of the Service de Sante Militaire with the admirable arrangements they claimed were made by their British allies.
It has now come to light that conditions in the British army in regard to treatment of the wounded are not a bit better than they were at the time of the Crimean War. There is the same fatal clash between army surgeons and civil surgeons, between the Royal Army Medical Corps and the many enterprises of a private character that have been trying in vain to cooperate in the care of the wounded.
Ten days ago, I heard from an officer who returned from the front heartrending stories Of the complete breakdown of the medical service at Dunkirk, Calais, and Boulogne. He spoke of the hospitals and field ambulances as a disgrace to civilization. What he told me seemed incredible. But since then I have had it from so many different sources that I can no longer doubt that the British army surgeons have been as criminally negligjent as those of the French army.
It seems that the British wounded have been piled into the hospitals of the Royal Army Medical Corps by the thousands, that they have been allowed to remain for days with their bandages untouched, and that the condition of these ambulances is one of unspeakable filth. The reason of all this is the lack of surgeons, nurses, and orderlies. After waiting in agony for days, many of the wounded have been sent to England, or have died.
There is, of course, no people in the world, not even excepting the Americans, who are so generous and so willing and so capable in the organization of relief as the British. Huge sums have been given for Red Cross work in England. The volunteers for field work, amongst whom are highly skilled physicians and splendidly trained nurses, have reached the thousands. Ambulances, with the personnel and the supplies necessary for caring for an unlimited number of wounded, have come from London to Paris. Some of the finest hotels on the Champs-Elysées have been fitted up into British auxiliary hospitals. But at no time since the war started have they been filled. Most of the physicians and nurses have sat around waiting vainly for the opportunity of serving. While the British Tommies are dying in the trenches, or are heaped up in the improvised hospitals of the R. A. M. C., those who are willing and anxious to care for them have been systematically ignored, or, if they insisted upon pushing themselves into the army circles, have been unmercifully snubbed.
Some time ago I heard a prominent French physician, whose surgical skill is second to none in Paris, say that when he offered his services he was received as if he had come to borrow five francs !
The mentality and the callous caste idea and the rigid red tape of the British medical service is unbelievable.
Train loads of British wounded have been brought right to the gates of Paris, have waited for hours in surburban stations, and then have pulled out again for parts unknown, while the British Red Cross hospitals at the Astoria, Claridge's, the Majestic, etc., could have taken them all in had they only been given the opportunity.
The other day a young Englishman, a graduate of Oxford University, who is here as a volunteer in an ambulance of a hundred physicians, dessers, nurses, and orderlies, dined with us. He said that the ambulance to which he belonged had been fitted out lavishly by a wealthy peeress in London, and that its physicians were men of wide reputation. They had been waiting in a Paris hotel for nearly four weeks to get permission to go to the front. They are waiting still, and the wounded are dying.
Shades f Scutari !
In both armies, as well as in the Red Cross societies, the same evils of mismanagement inefficiency, jealous desire to refuse volunteer aid for fear sharing the glory, and self assumed importance of workers enrolled are revealed again. as we have seen them in former wars. Among the army surgeons, there is that same unwillingness to cooperate with civilians that Florence Nightingale struggled against in the Crimean War.
Hospitals in Paris are waiting for their wounded. Physicians and nurses are ready. Large sums have been expended. But the wounded do not come. Is it that the battles are less severe than they *ere a few weeks ago? Is it that the Government still fears the possible capture f Paris, and the passing into the hands of the Germans of all the wounded, as prisoners of war? From the accounts of those who come from the front, the battles seem to be just as fierce as ever, and from many signs one has reason to believe that the Government does not fear any immediate advance upon Paris.
It is the old question of red tape, and of official and prfessional jealousy, and rivalry. There are plenty of wounded. But willing hands and hearts are not allowed to be of service in alleviating their suffering. Men are still dying without proper medical attention, with physicians and nurses only a few miles away, willing to risk life to carry to the soldiers on the battlefield competent and skilful care.
When this war is over, perhaps before it is over, the medical corps of the contending armies will be called upon to answer embarrassing questions. Human ingenuity, so diabolically successful in destroying human life, should be exercised with equal success in solving the problems of saving human life during military operations.
November fifteenth.
WERE it not so awfully funny, it would be pitiful to listen to one's friends who are returning in increasing numbers from London, from Bordeaux, from Marseilles, and from Switzerland. When you meet them in church, at the club, in the café, on the boulevard, of course you act as if they had never been away from town at all. But some evil spirit compels them to bring up the subject themselves. You have to listen. And, as there is an anxious questioning note in their voice, you have to agree that they were called away during the first week of September by urgent business in London, that they had to go to Havre or Marseilles because they could not risk, in their line, being cut of from cable and mail communication with the outside world, or that their presence at Bordeaux was, indispensable to the national safety. The Government could not have got along without them. Certainly not!
Then there were those who had not the excuse of business. In the first week of September they yielded to an irresistible longing to taste good old roast beef, "for you know the French can't cook a roast." Now they are coming back from England, having discovered that the English "never do give you vegetables other than perfectly naked boiled potatoes and water-logged cabbage."
But the reason for the September exit from Paris and the November exit from London is neither in business nor in food. When you get down to rocks, it is—the Germans.
How one feels about the Germans is largely a matter of imagination. I have come to this conclusion after much puzzling over the actions f many Parisians. If a man is all the time imagining that a bomb is going to drop from an aeroplane right on top of his head, or that the shells from the German siege guns will explode in his immediate vicinity, he cannot be blamed for feeling uneasy. It is altogether natural that nervous and excitable people should get away from the possible danger of a bombardment. They got away from Paris because they feared that the Germans would bombard this city. They are getting away from London now and back to Paris because they think that the German effort has been diverted from Paris to London. The burden of their conversation is no longer the irresistible horde of barbarians at Compiègne, Chanfilly, and Meaux, but the Zeppelins that are being manufactured at Brussels and Antwerp, and the one hundred and twenty-five submarines that are going to send the British fleet to the bottom of the sea. So Paris is pretty good after all.
One may not have control of his nerves, and may yield to the panic of his imagination. That is perfectly comprehensible. We are not all built the same way. And who is more contemptible than the man who boasts of a moral superiority which is due entirely to physical causes'?
But there are many froussards who have not the excuse the perfectly valid excuse of neurasthenia. Have they not fallen short in civic duty, in patriotism, by showing a lack f faith in those who were defending their homes?
The panic stricken crossed bridges before they came to them. They accepted as a certain future event what was only a remote possibility. Where they could not be blamed for fearing that the bombs would hit them, they could be blamed for not having faith in the ability of the defending armies to keep the siege guns from getting near enough to send their shells into the streets of Paris. Where there was lack of faith two months ago in the allied armies, there is lack of faith today in the British fleet, and in the armies on the Yser.
The froussards are coming back ! It is a curious sight. We saw them madly piling into freight trains, after having waited forty-eight hours in line to purchase first-class tickets. We saw them leaving in autos, in wagons, in river boats, for which they paid fabulous prices. They were inextricably mixed up with their baggage, enjoying emigrant accommodation at millionaire prices. It was a case of sauve qui peut. For the Germans were coming to Paris, and they had no desire either to feed on cats arid dogs and horses' and rats, or to sit in their cellars while the shells burst overhead. Now they are coming back !
In the railway stations two opposing floods meet each other. The refugees from Amiens, Compiègne, Chantilly, Senlis, Soissons, and Meaux are going home; the refugees from Paris are coming home. But the former are different from the latter. Those who are going home fled from the sight and the sound of the Germans : the Paris froussards fled from the thought of the Germans.
Honi soit qui mal y pense. Has any one the right to pass judgment on the froussards? Perhaps not. We are free agents. When it is a question of the unwritten code, we must decide for ourselves, and let others decide for themselves. But we who did not despair of the Republic, and who rmained quietly at home attending to our business an living our normal life have saved ourselves much expense and discomfort. And we do not have to explain to our friends why it was necessary at a certain particular moment to leave Paris.
The froussards may have come back too soon. For we cannot be sure as yet that the Germans will not make this week another determined effort to reach Paris. The question we are asking ourselves now is whether our friends who have made the journey to the country and back again to Paris, will once more feel it necessary to pay a thousand francs for an automobile, or two hundred and fifty francs for a seat in a river boat to Rouen.
The fortunes of war may change again, and we may once more hear the German cannon at the gates of Paris. It may even be that the German General Staff will decide to take a gambler's chance and stake all upon the capture f Paris. Is one wise in feeling that the Battle f the Marne has been decisive in relieving Paris from the German menace?
It is a curious fact that the froussards seen to be most optimistic the moment the immediate cause of their fears is removed. The two million Parisians who stayed quietly at home and awaited the issue of the Battle f the Marne did not exult in that victory. There was no great popular demonstration of joy in Paris. This is a fact that cannot be too strongly set forth. The work of defending the city was still pushed with feverish haste. Even now, two months later, every night we still see the searchlights sweeping the skies in their watch for aeroplanes and Zeppelins.
The "sowers of panic" are the ones who are now absolutely certain that all goes well. It is from the froussards coming home that we hear exclamations of delight and confident assurances that the Germans have been crushed.
This evening, at the club, a number of well-in formed and thoughtful men were discussing the new phase of "siege operations" which the war seems to have taken. One was maintaining that, even if the German offensive was definitely checked, an offensive on our part, at the present moment, would have little chance f success against the German lines. "Without conscription in England," he said, "I fear we shall not be able to drive the Germans out of France much less recover Belgium."
A Samson of a froussard had just turned from the billiard table. As he put up his cue, he caught the last sentence.
With a lordly wave of the hand, he pooh-poohed our fears.
"You fellows are talking rot," he broke in. "Before Easter we shall be in Berlin."
The man whom he interrupted took off his glasses, and rubbed them with his handkerchief. Then he readjusted them, and gazed at the froussard.
"Is that the way they feel at Bordeaux?" hé asked.
I love the night passionately. I love it as I love my country, or my mistress, with an instinctive, deep, and unshakeable love. I love it with all my senses: I love to see it, I love to breathe it in, I love to open my ears to its silence, I love my whole body to be caressed by its blackness. Skylarks sing in the sunshine, the blue sky, the warm air, in the fresh morning light. The owl flies by night, a dark shadow passing through the darkness; he hoots his sinister, quivering hoot, as though he delights in the intoxicating black immensity of space.
Paris has many buses and local trains (called the RER), but the main mode of travel around Paris is the Metro or subway. No place in Paris is less than 500 meters (1500 feet) away from a metro stop.

Report: Leeds United consider Yasser Larouci swoop
Dan Clubbe | 16:00 14/03/21
Leeds United have reportedly considered a move for young Liverpool left-back Yasser Larouci according to the Mirror.
The 20-year-old is expected to leave Anfield at the end of this season when his contract runs out and Marcelo Bielsa is believed to be looking at a potential swoop.
Having represented the Reds' first-team on two occasions, both of which came in the FA Cup, Larouci looked to have a bright future on Merseyside.
However, further opportunities haven't been forthcoming and Jurgen Klopp looks set to allow the full-back to leave for nothing this summer.
This season Larouci has lost his place in the clubs Under 23 side, with Owen Beck the regular left-back for Barry Lewtas' side.
L4L's VIEW
Larouci might've thought he was on the brink of at the very least becoming understudy to Andy Robertson up until the arrival of Kostas Tsimikas last summer.
The signing of the Greek international and the consistency of Robertson leaves Klopp well-stocked in the department, and leave Larouci without a sniff.
Having watched on as Alberto Moreno left the club only for James Milner to deputise at full-back, the Algerian-born youngster will probably feel as though the ship has sailed on his Anfield career.
The natural end of a four-year spell with the club seems to be on the horizon.

Judge rejects motion to declare a mistrial in Johnny Depp defamation case
Amber Heard was served another legal defeat in a Fairfax, Virginia, courtroom on Wednesday.
Judge Penny Azcarate, who presided over the headline-grabbing defamation case between Johnny Depp and his ex-wife, rejected a motion from Heard's attorneys to declare a mistrial.
Heard's legal team's argument centered on the fact that the age listed on Juror #15's jury summons was inaccurate.
On Wednesday, the judge denied their motion, stating there was no fraud in the case and so the verdict should stand.
"The juror was vetted, sat for the entire jury, deliberated and reached a verdict," read Azcarate's ruling in a filing obtained by ABC News.
"The only evidence before this Court is that this juror and all jurors followed their oaths, the Court's instructions and orders. This court is bound by the competent decision of the jury," the ruling concluded.
Further, Azcarate argued that if the defense had an issue with the juror, her attorneys should have brought it up earlier.
As reported in June, the jury decided that Heard defamed Depp in a 2018 Washington Post op-ed in which she said she had been a victim of physical and sexual abuse in her relationship, though she did not identify Depp. The jury agreed with Depp's attorneys that although the actor wasn't named in the op-ed, which had been vetted by attorneys before it was published, it was clear who Heard was accusing.
Depp was awarded $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages, though Virginia law automatically caps the latter to $350,000.
Heard is expected to appeal the verdict after it is finalized.


Living on the Isle of Man shouldn't be a hindrance to the development of young athletes, according to the rugby development officer.
He's forged a partnership with Premiership outfit Sale Sharks which provides a platform for players in the under-15 age group to go on to a higher level.
A number of Manx players have already been across for trials in the UK since the scheme began.
Chris Brannigan says it's important young talent isn't wasted simply because of where a person lives.

Continuing our fight for more #transparency
By Jeremy Kessel
Today's publication marks our fifth Transparency Report. With each successive edition, we aim to provide more meaningful and constructive insight into the global government and copyright requests we receive, and their respective impact, with the goal of making this report more compelling and informative for you.
However, one section in particular has been notably absent from our all of our previous reports, including today's: our disclosures on national security requests.
Our new report shows a steady increase in global requests for account information, content removal, and copyright takedowns. — @policy
As we alluded to in our last post, earlier this year we met with officials from the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in Washington to push for our ability to provide greater transparency concerning national security requests. Specifically, if the government will not allow us to publish the actual number of requests, we want the freedom to provide that information in much smaller ranges that will be more meaningful to Twitter's users, and more in line with the relatively small number of non-national security information requests we receive. We also pressed for the ability to be specific about different kinds of national security requests and to be able to indicate "zero requests" if that applies to any particular category of request.
Unfortunately, we were not able to make any progress at this meeting, and we were not satisfied with the restrictions set forth by the DOJ. So in early April, we sent a draft midyear Transparency Report to DOJ that presented relevant information about national security requests, and asked the Department to return it to us, indicating which information (if any) is classified or otherwise cannot lawfully be published. At this point, over 90 days have passed, and we still have not received a reply. Therefore, we are weighing our legal options to provide more transparency to our users. While we are heartened by the latest version of the USA FREEDOM Act of 2014, as recently introduced by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT), which would reform certain aspects of government surveillance and allow Twitter to provide more meaningful transparency to its users, we remain disappointed with the DOJ's inaction.
We are weighing our legal options to provide more transparency to our users. — @policy
National security requests aside, our new report shows a steady increase in global requests for account information, content removal, and copyright takedowns. Between January and June of this year, we received 2,058 requests (a 46 percent increase from the last report) for account information from 54 countries, with eight countries that had not submitted requests previously. During this same period, we received 432 requests to remove content (up more than 14 percent) from 31 countries, with three new countries submitting demands since January 2014. In addition, we've received 9,199 copyright takedown requests for Twitter and Vine content (up 38 percent).
To make this report even more informative, we're including exact numbers for all data categories and ending our historic practice of obfuscating small numbers of requests or accounts identified. In addition, we continue to dissect our most voluminous dataset — requests for account information from the United States — by adding two new features to the U.S. report: 1) a breakdown in requests by U.S. state/territory, and 2) a list of countries we know to have submitted mutual legal assistance treaty requests through the DOJ. We're also working to have the entire site, including all 5 reports, localized and available later this year in a dozen languages.

Articles Donald Trump Politics Immigration Posts
Holocaust Survivor Slams Leftists Over 'Concentration Camp' Claims
Leftists seem to have a knack for comparing the Donald to a certain mustachioed despot from the days of old. With the latest developments in immigration enforcement, those lefties are jacking those claims up to eleven. Even claiming the ICE detention centers used to house illegal jumpers of fences are concentration camps.
Well, this Holocaust survivor has heard those claims. He's not amused in the slightest:
https://www.facebook.com/DailyCaller/videos/708957009436521/?hc_ref=ARRkpxouo6Q4aWlmE83vvV8LLMGF5udghbQa8S4cy4iBWWF7QsaMu_hiB-jIuOWzIxY
Listen to me. I went through it. Please. This is not a concentration camp. They're free. I looked up there and I said to myself, all the mattresses, everything, food. I said, at that time, I would think it's a country club.
So, live the best you can. It's still America. It's still the best country. If you don't believe it, then leave the country.
Well, that pretty much settles that. As for those lefties trying to compare the atrocities of the Holocaust to their losing an election.
All the lefties would like you to think we're just one goose-step away from a full-on Third Reich revival. They see the illegal trespassers in the detention facilities and say "see, we've been telling you Trump is Hitler. I rest my case." Except, we're simply enforcing our more than reasonable immigration laws. Not cramming an entire ethnic group in cattle cars and shipping them off to their death.
The left runs wild with these comparisons, hoping to shock us into turning against the orange man. Unfortunately for them, they fail to think what they say through. Leading to embarrassing moments like this one, where a survivor of the real Holocaust schools them on reality.
Though, I highly doubt this gentleman's firsthand experience is going to sway the left in the slightest:


I'm often asked if I always wanted to be an author. I didn't really ever think about becoming one. But I always wrote in a journal. I wrote thoughts, prayers, poems...boring stuff about my life. When I began my fiction journey, I didn't feel I had the time to journal anymore, and those little books fell by the wayside. This fall, when a friend read my early draft of a novel I'd just finished writing, she said something that struck me as true.
She said something like: You know, you're journaling with your fiction.
And it's true. Journaling is a practice that explores thoughts and feelings surrounding the events of your life. It's used for stress relief, therapy, exploration of heavy topics, and even brainstorming. I often spent time talking to God in my journal.
So, yes, I think I do that now with fiction instead. I think one of my greatest fears has been to lose a child, and maybe that made its way into this story.
Here's the reader letter I wrote for the novella Falling for Grace.
This story deals with the incredibly painful grief of losing a child. I know I'm not able to adequately deliver the message of what horror that must be, having never lost a baby whom I had held in my arms. I did lose one through miscarriage, which was an extremely sad time for me--that deep ache of loss and disappointment. In my grief, I often felt isolated, since my husband and I were the only ones who had known this child--other than God. During that experience, I often mourned silently at the sight of fully pregnant women and infants born around when mine would've been, or reaching those sweet milestones. Not that I didn't want others to be joyful and have healthy children, but I wondered what my child would've been like, and those what-ifs ospun through my heart. What if I'd done something differently? Had I lifted something too heavy, worked too hard weeding the flower bed? Was it my fault? I experienced the fear and worry of trying to have another child. Knowing in my heart, even if I did, another child was not a replacement for the baby I'd lost.
Losing a child goes against the natural order of things, breaking pieces of parents' hearts that can't be mended back to the way they were before. But I believe our God can take our sorrows and our tears, capture them, and form those crumbled shards in a new way, though painful, into something precious. We also need each other, friends. Grief support can be another way to climb out of that hollow, broken place. I pray for each of you who might be grieving and want to offer those dashed hopes the promise of the One who binds up the brokenhearted.
The eBook version of Falling for Grace is free on Amazon for five days if you'd like to read it. Amazon link.
Do you journal? If so, what do you like about the process? Can I pray for you today?
Merry Christmas and a Free e-Book!
My family and I had both good and bad times, but I'm choosing to focus on the good.
Do y'all like to travel?
My kids and I seem to have inherited the travel bug. My husband wasn't born with this urge to go on voyages, but we cajoled him into crossing the Atlantic and taking us to Ireland.
He did really well, despite the fact that one night I fell on a bumpy sidewalk in the small Irish town of Dingle, and then we found out that a mini-tornado had knocked a tree onto our house back home in Mississippi.
We were blessed that our neighbors and friends took care of covering the hole in our roof and letting Service Pro inside to dry our home.
Actually, the blessings of our trip were many. We didn't hate each other at the end of the two weeks! (Sometimes we fuss a little on vacations…) The weather was great! Only one day of rain in Ireland is pretty much a miracle. Everything was beautiful!
If you know me a little, you might guess that my favorite part was seeing their rocky beaches! And yes, I'm planning a novel where my characters will go to Ireland. The heroine might even fall like I did, ha!
What did you do this year? Can I pray about anything for you?
To celebrate the holidays, the Kindle version of my novel Tackling the Fields is free on Amazon right now!

Follow these easy steps to make pizza with a chewy-yet-crisp crust, a well-seasoned raw tomato sauce and fresh buffalo mozzarella cheese.
In a large bowl, mix the yeast with 1/2 cup of the warm water and the sugar and let stand until foamy.
Add the remaining warm water, the flour and the salt and stir until a soft dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a well-floured work surface and knead, adding flour as necessary, until a silky, but soft dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl and brush all over with olive oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap.
Let the dough rise in the refrigerator overnight or for up to 3 days.
Divide dough into 4 pieces and form each into a ball. Rub each ball with oil and transfer to a baking sheet. Cover the balls loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in a draft-free place for 1 hour.
Pass the tomatoes through a food mill set over a medium bowl or pulse them in a food processor until coarsely chopped. Stir in oregano, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and salt and pepper.
On a lightly floured surface, stretch one ball of dough into a 13-inch round; transfer to a floured pizza peel, adding flour where the dough sticks.
Spread the tomato sauce over the dough to within 1 inch of the edge, then top with cheese and drizzle with olive oil. Season the pizza with sea salt and pepper.
Bake until the bottom is charred and the cheese is melted. Scatter the basil on top and let stand for 3 minutes before serving.
