First Lady Michelle Obama spoke to graduates at California’s smallest, youngest public university, UC Merced on Saturday and praised them “for their struggle to succeed.” Obama urged the ”jubilant members of her audience to give back to their communities.”

This AljazeeraEnglish video was posted earlier today. It shows the destruction in the Gaza Strip. Since it is reporting on the impact of the attacks and not policy I take it at face value.
Taylor Marsh found the above video and a link to the Guardian UK. The Guardian story seems to indicate, to me at [...]

This is a great video. An elementary school in Palm Beach, Florida has their own TV news channel, The KEC News Report. They recruit their own grade school reporters, camera people, etc. They really do report the news. The news this day was the speech by Joe Biden at a campaign event.
Notice the competence of [...]
