News Roundup (for the Rest of July and Some of June 2017)

Hello, readers! This week, I will do something different for this News Roundup. I want so badly to catch up to some important news I missed from June and July, so I will post this today.

Tomorrow, I will do my best to post some news for this month before I go on a hiatus. If I can’t do all the stories I found, I will at least cover 4-7 stories I find important, including Shkreli’s sentencing and the recent violence in Charlottesville, VA.

News Roundup for July 17, 2017

Hello, readers! For this News Roundup, I’m catching up a bit, but there are a few newer stories for this month.

News Roundup (Week of June 25-July 1, 2017)

Hello, readers! Here is a News Roundup before Independence Day in the United States.

I tried to give myself enough time to finish this News Roundup, but for now I will only share two stories from the past few weeks. This post will be updated with some more stories I want to share.

News Roundup Special: Donald Trump’s First Presidential Foreign Trip

For some people, this picture says it all. But there was another image from Trump’s first presidential foreign trip that garnered attention.

This is late, but I had planned to discuss the first foreign trip Donald Trump took as president. I want to at least discuss this now as a lead-in to this week’s News Roundup because the first leg of the tour may have far-reaching implications.

Before, Mike Pence had traveled to Asia without incident, but that was no surprise. Trump’s trip, however, was eventful and in true Trump fashion, it was not without consequence.

News Roundup (June 4, 2017)

Hello, readers! After a few weeks off, here is a new, yet short, News Roundup. Much of this news comes from the past few months, but I wanted to share it anyway.

Internet News Roundup (May 15, 2017)

This week, there was some important internet news I wanted to share. Some of this is old, but important regardless.

News Roundup Special: French Election Results

Hello, everyone. I’m taking a break from doing full the News Roundup indefinitely, but I wanted to discuss a recent item in the news.

A few weeks ago, I shared a few notes about those leading the first round of the election. But I did not report on those results or the runoff.

Now, I haven’t been paying close attention to the French election, but I was interested in seeing who would win and talking about some surrounding issues.

International News Roundup (Week of Apr. 16-22, 2017)

Hello, readers! This week, I will make things easier for myself by breaking up the news. As I did for last week’s news roundup, I will just share international news items today.

There are some national and Internet news I want to discuss, so I will get back to you on that as soon as I can. The Internet news is pressing enough, as there are two developing stories regarding YouTube I need to discuss.

International News Roundup (Week of Apr. 9-15, 2017)

Hello, readers!

News Roundup (Week of Apr. 2-8, 2017)

Hello, readers! Before I get into this week’s News Roundup, I wanted to say something.

Normally, I would publish a Write Anything Wednesday post, but I did not last Wednesday. I was sapped all week, but I managed to do a Famous Sayings post.

Also, I started doing extensive research for a couple of posts I wanted to publish last week, but that took me down another rabbit hole. As it turns out, the subject matter I wanted to talk about is connected — and in a way, it was preempted — by Thursday’s events.

That story is covered in this post, but I would like to make another post concerning the topic and how I feel about the news coverage surrounding it. I might have some unpopular opinions on the matter, but they are worth expression and consideration. The same is true for the connected posts I wanted to publish earlier.

Additionally, I would like to make some more posts covering the news items I have missed over the weeks. All weeks are busy and it’s hard to decide which stories to discuss. It’s also time consuming to find the stories and summarize them in my own words. That is partly my fault since I like to a thorough job with everything and inform my readers, so …
