text: Introduction On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve Bank increased interest rates for the first time in nearly a decade by raising the federal funds rate from effectively zero percent to 0.25 percent. The new target for the short-term is now 0.5 percent with the target range for the end of 2016 being 1.375 percent. The conditions are vastly different this past week versus the last time rates were increased in June of 2006. Back then the economy was believed to be potentially overheating and the federal funds rate was elevated to 5.5 percent. The economy was growing at a 3.3 percent pace in mid-2006 after growing at 3.9 percent in 2004 and 3.2 percent in 2005 while unemployment stood at 4.4 percent and the global economy seemed much more robust. The logic for increasing the federal funds rate last week seems questionable at best. In 2006 we had an economy that was growing at 3.3 percent, slightly above the past World War II historical norm of 3.25 percent compared to today with the economy growing at an average of 2.2 percent so far in 2015. The unemployment rate in 2006 was 4.4 percent relative to 5.0 today. Perhaps the most telling concern regarding the current structure of the U.S. economy is that the labor force participation rate in November of 2006 was 66.3 percent compared to 62.5 percent today. As an example, a record 94,031,000 eligible Americans were not in the American labor force in August of this year - 261,000 more than July - and the labor force participation rate in August stuck at 62.6 percent, a 38-year low, for a third straight month in August. The numbers of Americans not in the labor force has continued to rise, partly because of retiring baby boomers and fewer workers entering the workforce, as well as an increasing number of frustrated workers leaving the job market. In 2006 the U.S. housing market was strong just like today while real global GDP was expanding at 5.3 percent in 2006. Global GDP is currently expanding at an estimated rate of 2.9 percent. What exactly was the cause for optimism with this recent FED increase? We are not sure; certainly GDP growth and\/or the threat of inflation do not seem to be key drivers. Key November\/December data Positive and negative signs As the U.S. economy approaches the end of another calendar year, it does so with mixed reviews. As measured by the DJIA and the S&P 500, U.S. stocks have had a flat year with the markets now expecting little to no net gain in these composites in 2015. The latest Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index released in late November stood at 90.4, a plunge from October's level of 99.1 and the lowest level in 15 months. Economic activity in the manufacturing sector declined for the first time in 36 months in November. The November 2015 Institute for Supply Management Index slipped below 50 registering 48.6. Historically, a number below 50 signals recession in manufacturing which again seems baffling relative to how the FED is reading the economy. Many feel the global economy is slowing and that recession could be on the horizon for a number of economies in 2016. Oil dropped to $34.50 a barrel on world markets on Friday with Goldman Sachs estimating that crude oil could fall to $20 a barrel in 2016. Gold dropped to a six-year low last week and is trading just above $1,000 an ounce. As many economies have been adversely impacted by falling oil, gold and global commodity prices in general, many consumers are not complaining. Gasoline prices should drop below $1.80 a gallon nationally soon and Christmas gifts involving gold should be a real bargain this year. More broadly, companies that produce oil have had a difficult 2015; those that use oil as a feedstock have had a good year! A private survey by the Chinese Beige Book International seems to indicate the Chinese economy could be performing far below reported GDP growth of roughly 6.7 percent so far in 2015. The "Beige Book" tracks Chinese national sales revenue, prices, profits, borrowing and business spending; the "Beige Book" shows declines across the board in the fourth quarter 2015. The New York based China Beige Book International's quarterly surveys of 2,000 firms, including 160 banks in China paints a far less optimistic picture of China than the Chinese National Bureau of Statistics whose forecast for the fourth quarter and the year is due out in January 2016 ... more to come. Elsewhere, Europe and Japan continue to show slow growth while Brazil and Canada remain in recession. Current Issues What does a FED interest rate increase mean for the average American? Here is the answer: 1. Mortgage interest rates will increase. As the FED increases the federal funds interest rate, certainly small increases in home mortgage interest rates will follow. Individuals considering buying a home now should act quickly as mortgage interest rates will certainly increase throughout 2016 if the FED follows thru on stated intentions. 2. The U.S. dollar will increase in value. As returns on U.S. denominated interest-bearing notes increase in value with FED interest rate increases, so will the value of the U.S. dollar. Simply put, to buy U.S. debt instruments, one will have to acquire U.S. dollars to do so. 3. Savers will gain. For the first time since the end of the financial crisis, individuals can expect higher interest rates on their passbook savings account and other interest-bearing savings instruments, such as U.S. savings bonds and CDs. 4. Future wage growth. We are concerned that increases in interest rates could hurt future wage growth. Wage growth has been stagnant since the Great Recession and higher costs of borrowing money will not increase employers' ability to increase wages. 5. Questionable news for the stock market. Historically, stocks do not perform well after a federal funds rate increase. The lower the interest rate, the more attractive it is for businesses to borrow money and expand their portfolios. We are concerned that increasing interest rates at a tenuous time in the American economy is questionable and could thwart our tentative recovery. Conclusion We believe that the Federal Reserve has done everything it should and then some to spur growth in the U.S. economy since the Great Recession. It is time for pro-business tax reform and spending limits to be adopted in Washington. Comments or questions should be directed to Dr. Timothy G. Nash at: firstname.lastname@example.org or (989) 837-4323.

Easy Crab Apple Jelly is sweet, tangy and delicious, the perfect way to preserve crab apples! It doesn’t require a jelly bag, stand, upturned stool or kitchen door knob, just a colander and a pair of tights, muslin or tea towel set over a pan. Couldn’t be easier!
In early September I went off looking for elderberries and came across lots of crabapple trees in a nearby park.
After a quick web search, I realised that the yellowish crab apples with a pink tinge weren’t going to be ripe yet so I left them alone.
Hence, I went back in early October when all the crab apples had ripened and turned a lovely dark pink and almost looked like cherries.
I picked a bag full and stored it in my fridge for 2 weeks until I had time to develop a crab apple recipe!
My crab apple jelly uses just 3 ingredients, crab apples, sugar and a lemon. I added a lemon for a bit of tang, and brightness and it also provides additional pectin for a quicker set.
Where can you find crab apples?
Crab apples aren’t available in the supermarket but they grow on trees in gardens or can be foraged in woods, parks etc.
When are crab apples ready for picking?
Crab apples ripen from late September to October. They range in colour according to variety from yellow to red and anything in between.
How do you know if crab apples are ripe?
The best way to tell if a crab apple is ripe is to cut it in half and if the seeds are dark brown then you know it’s ripe.
Can you eat crab apples?
When ripe they taste tart but with a familiar hint of sweetness you get from dessert apples, so they’re not an eating apple.
Why are crab apples good for jelly making?
Crab apples are perfect for jelly making as they are naturally high in pectin which is necessary for setting.
Do you need to remove the stems from the crab apples to make jelly?
No, as long as you wash the crab apples thoroughly this is an unnecessary step that would take up valuable time as they don’t detach easily.
How do you prevent jelly from going cloudy?
Never squeeze the pulp in the jelly bag or the result will be cloudy and not beautifully clear jelly!
How do you stop jelly setting before you pot it up?
Once your jelly has reached setting point keep your jelly on the lowest heat which will prevent the jelly from setting before it reaches the jars.
What is Crab Apple Jelly used for?
Crab is the perfect accompaniment to lamb, pork, game, cheese or just spread on bread and butter.
Why is it best to use smaller jars for jelly?
It’s best to use smaller jars to store jelly to avoid it breaking up with use and going runny over time.
How long will Crab Apple Jelly keep for?
Crab Apple Jelly can be stored in a cool dark place for up to a year but once open, it should be kept in the fridge and consumed within a couple of months.
If you’d like to spice things up a bit then try adding cinnamon sticks or cloves to the recipe.
More Jelly Recipes
If you need more jelly recipe inspiration after making my Easy Crab Apple Jelly then here are some more recipe ideas:
- Rosehip & Apple Jelly (can also be made with crab apples)
- Easy Blackberry & Apple Jelly
- Gooseberry, Apple & Mint Jelly
- Quince Jelly
- White Currant Jelly
- Easy Redcurrant & Port Jelly
- Raspberry Mint Jelly
How do you make Easy Crab Apple Jelly?
The full recipe is at the bottom of this post.
- You will need crab apples, a lemon and sugar (the amount will be determined later).
- Remove beards from crab apples (leave stems) and wash.
- Halve crab apples and slice lemon.
- Place in a preserving pan or similar heavy-based saucepan (large pot) with cold water.
- Bring the pan to a boil then simmer on medium heat for 25 – 30 mins, crushing crab apples as they cook.
- Once the crab apples are pulpy, remove them from heat.
- Strain crab apples in a jelly bag or use my hack for using a pair of tights (see notes in the recipe below). Let the juice drip overnight into a large bowl.
- The result will be pink juice.
- Add 450g granulated sugar for every 575 ml of juice (this equates to 78%). I ask Google to do the math:-)
- Place pan over a low heat and stir until sugar is completely dissolved.
- Bring to a rolling boil on a high heat.
- Either use a digital thermometer to test when 105C is reached, see when a drip of jelly will hang on the back of a wooden spoon (drip test) or time for 20 mins.
- Remove the pan from heat and test a few drops of jelly on a cold plate for the wrinkle test. Jelly should wrinkle when a finger is pushed through.
- If ready, place the pan over a low heat and skim off the scum. (You don’t want it set yet).
- Pot up hot jelly into hot sterilised jars using a ladle and jam funnel.
- Place lids on immediately.
I’m sure you’ll love my Easy Crab Apple Jelly recipe, my dad raved about it and said it really brought out the flavour of his roast lamb and my neighbour really enjoyed hers with cheese and biscuits!

Easy Crab Apple Jelly
- Large bowl
- Preserving pan (or similar)
- long wooden spoon
- Potato masher (optional)
- Digital thermometer (optional)
- Slotted spoon
- jam funnel
- 8 small glass jars with lids
- 2 kg crab apples halved (washed & drained, beards removed, leave stems in tact)
- 1 unwaxed lemon sliced
- 1.365 kg granulated sugar approx., will vary, see instructions below
- 2.5 L water
- Place the halved crab apples, lemon slices and 2.5 litres of water into a preserving pan or similar.
- Bring to the boil and then simmer for 25 – 30 mins until pulpy. Use a potato masher or side of a wooden spoon to squash the crab apples as they cook.
- Pour the fruity liquid into a jelly bag (or see my hacks in Notes section if you don’t have one) and leave to drain over a large pan or bowl overnight. Do not, repeat not, squeeze the bag or you will have cloudy jelly.
- The next day, measure the juice (mine yielded 1.75 L).
- Pour juice into a preserving pan with 450 g of granulated sugar for every 575 ml of juice. The easiest way to work this out is to calculate 78% or your juice figure which will give you your sugar weight. Tip: ask Google to do the maths!
- Place the pan over a gentle heat and stir until all the sugar has dissolved. The pan must not bubble. Drag a wooden spoon over the pan to check there are no more sugar crystals.
- Bring the pan to a rolling boil, stirring frequently until setting point is reached, which is 105 C. My jelly reached this stage at 21 mins but this will vary so if you don’t have a digital thermometer best to check a few minutes before.
- Remove the pan from the heat and test for set by placing a few drops of jelly on a chilled sauce and place in fridge for 30 seconds.
- The jelly is ready if a crinkle forms when you push your finger through it. If it’s not ready, carry on boiling for a minute at a time and re-test until set is achieved.
- Put the jelly on a low heat and remove any scum with a slotted spoon as the jelly otherwise the jelly will start to set and this process will become difficult.
- Keep over a low heat and pots up into sterilised jars to stop the jelly setting before it reaches the jars. Small jars are best, I filled nearly 8.
- Place lids on immediately and allow to cool.
- Store in a cool, dark place where it will keep for 1 year. Once open store in the fridge and use within a few months.

The pencil sketch was done on my lunch hour at work and the digital self portrait was done in the morning before leaving for work.
Feels like I have very little time to do anything more but glad I can at least manage to do something everyday till at some point I find more time.
Wednesday, January 31, 2018
Bunch of drawings done on my lunch hour at work. These drawings were done over a period of days. I haven't had time to do much outside of this hour at work and some illustration work over the weekends.
Wednesday, January 3, 2018
2018 is starting off a little busy for me. I have a 3 part illustration assignment for Guide Magazine. I sent in the first illustration and am in the middle of completing the second. All that is to say that I don't have as much time for personal work apart from these sketches I do on my lunch hour.
So here's another round of afternoon sketches done on my lunch hour.
Friday, December 22, 2017
I hesitate to post these because these are sketches made on either my lunch hour at work or at some point in the work day where there was very little activity. Most of these are done quickly, some with photo reference and others done from imagination. None of these are meant to be anything but an effort to keep my hand moving because there is very little time in my day to work for long on a finished piece.
So I guess these may not look great but they are a lot of fun to do and a way of staying creative and disciplined in my craft as well as passing the time.
Monday, December 18, 2017
It's been a while since I've posted both here and on my YouTube channel. Work and family life has kept me busy. By work I mean more than my 9 to 5. For some reason more illustration assignments come at the end of the year and I get caught up in meeting deadlines.
I just finished the first of three illustrations for Guide magazine. Its a three part story.
The sketches I'm posting here are the ones I usually do on my lunch hour at my 9 to 5 job. The first three are sketches done for the second illustration.The rest are just what I do while watching a video. Sometimes I use reference and do a watercolor sketch but most of the time I'm just sketching from imagination.

Leonardo is a very promising painting software that came out in it's Beta version in 2017.
While I do like it, like anything else there are pros and cons.
Actually there is only one con worth mentioning but it's a big one. It has to do with the canvas resolution.
You can set the physical size of the canvas to increase the over all size of your painting but the resolution remains at 72 pixels per inch. There doesn't seem to be any menu options where you can set your preferences for the canvas resolution or any other preference. You would have to adjust what you can every time you open the app.
That's the worse thing I can say about the app and it's a big deal. However the application is still in it's Beta stage and it is only months old so with everything else being a plus it remains very promising, especially when you read that the developer has definite plans on improving the application.
From the website, "More brushes, paint bucket tool and PSD-support are already in the making. But don't wait, even if you download Leonardo today you will still get all these features automatically as soon as they are ready."
The Beta version is $39.00 and promises free automatic updates during Beta and 1.x versions. Otherwise the software would be $79.00.
Below is a video from my YouTube channel reviewing the app.
Tuesday, November 14, 2017
It was suggested to me by a friend on Facebook that I should try this great new software called Leonardo.
I downloaded the 14 day free trail and so far it looks good. Its like a cross between Mischief and Sketchbook Pro.
It has that infinite canvas like Mischief and it also similar to Sketchbook Pro in that it is simple and easy to use.
My one reservation was that I did not seem to be able to change the resolution of the canvas. I wrote to the makers of the program and was told that in the canvas tab I could change the settings for the canvas resolution. I was not able to find that under that tab however I'm guessing that it's because I'm running their trail version. It is a fun enough application with plenty of potential so when I do get around to downloading the full version I will post an update. In the mean time please watch the video bellow about my first look at this software.

Obama Quietly Seeks Meeting With Iranian President
He just can’t take a hint.
He just can’t take a hint. Despite being spat on repeatedly by the Iranian regime following his generous gift of an historic nuclear deal, President Barack Obama reportedly now seeks a private meeting with President Hassan Rouhani.
Apparently, Obama has even sent secret letters to senior Iranian officials requesting such a meeting.
“President Obama asked to meet with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani in two secret letters sent in late March to both Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and President Rouhani,” states a Farsi-language report translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).
According to the Iranian report, Obama wrote “that Iran has a limited-time opportunity to cooperate with the U.S. in order to resolve the problems in Syria, Iraq, and Yemen, and promised that if Iran agreed to a meeting between him and Rouhani, he would be willing to participate in any conference to this end.”
The Washington Free Beacon attempted to verify if the report is true, but not surprisingly, the White House declined to comment.
According to the Iranian report, Rouhani is open to the meeting and promised Supreme Leader Khamenei he would keep him in the loop. The Beacon adds:
Senior U.S. officials have met with top Iranian officials in recent days in a move perceived by some as laying the groundwork for a future powwow between Obama and Rouhani.
Secretary of State John Kerry met with his Iranian counterpart, Javad Zarif, in New York on Tuesday. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew met last week with Valiollah Seif, the governor of Iran’s Central Bank.
Amir Toumaj, an Iran expert and research analyst at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, expressed doubt that the Iranian Supreme Leader would concede to such a meeting, as it may empower more moderate elements of the Iranian regime.
“It seems highly unlikely that Khamenei would give his assent. There is a significant political cost for him, and he doesn’t have the appetite,” Toumaj told the Free Beacon. “The [nuclear agreement] is still fresh. There may be just a little over a year left until the 2017 Iranian presidential elections, but there is too much at stake.”
This administration can’t seem to get enough when it comes to courting despots — even the ones who’ve flat-out rejected it.

Scion’s Sarcophagus / Vetruvian/ Stucture/ 1 mana / (0/3)
At the end of your turn, deal 1 damage to this card.
Dying wish: Add ALL 3 Scions’s Wishes to your hand.
[details=Note]The wishes are gained in numerical order, First then Second then Third. If the effect happens to activate when you have 4 cards in hand,
you only get first and second wish. Also if the effect happens to activate at the end of a turn in which you have 3 cards in hand, you would draw all 3 wishes and mill the card you were supposed to draw. [/details]
The goal of this design is to create a card which gives a timed, delayed value, without creating a previously non-existing UI timer. The card costs 1 mana because A) the effect can be stoped with dispel B) the effect can be minimized by killing the minion when opponent has more than 3 cards in hand C) the Wishes need a further mana investment and D) opponent has 2 turns to draw a dispell. The minion has 3 health because at 2 he would be too consistent and at 4 he would be too inconaistent. There is also the thematical reason, 3 wishes, 3 turns, 3 health. The card would work well in combination with Blistering Skorn and Frostbone Naga. The card would serve as support card for Scion’s wishes archetype, along with Pantheran, which unfortunatnly never really kicked off
[details=Theme] Usually, in movies and other media, things of ancient pop out of Sarcophagus.
As Scion seems to have a mayor role in the lore, it feels fitting that he has his own sarcophag, and it seems fiting that the sarcophagus holds his wishes.
The timer on the card would also add tension to the game, some sort of anticipation to what ancient power is to come, as sarcophagus do. [/details]

text: I rather liked this movie, an excellently well crafted tribute to the 70s ans 80s style of horror movie. Even the special effects mimic those found more in Hellraiser than the type we see using todays technology. If the film has a fault then it would be the two dimensional approach to story telling, I found my self observing the action rather than living it. This however was the way in which old horrors worked, you became an extra observer in the story rather than an extension of the actor. In my book this film is a classic,if it had been made in the 80s then it would be the one we all love to remember. This film ticks all the correct retro boxes but could be a little lost on a modern audience who would misenterpriate the slower pace as a fault rather than a hallmark of earlier horror.

The asphalt of Shoreditch was burning, and the smell of beer and cigarettes was filling my nose as another never-ending summernight was beginning again. A plane flew over the sky and left a sharp line.
” I always wonder where people are going. I want to go somewhere too. Miami!” said the Italian whilst dancing on the street.
” I always wonder who is coming in.” I said.
( I felt this burning kind of jealousy. The kind I had only heard about …. my cheeks burned. It was French jalousie. I turned all red. I was burning. Now I knew what she had spoken of.) A few years ago a friend of mine, who I at that time was caught in some odd love triangle with, asked me if I had ever felt this way. She was bright red, even her hair seemed red, whilst she did the dishes and had been sending mean looks towards her old lover. I told her no, and started to help her with the dishes. I had never felt the same. She said I was a very odd person. Then she took me into her room, closed the door and offered me a blue dress to wear for a wedding.

Northumberland Labour Council releases statement regarding Ontario’s back to school plan
As usual, the school year is set to begin, but there is nothing usual about this year with Covid still a risk to the public’s health. The only thing usual is the Conservatives’ and Stephen Lecce’s apparent lack of concern for our children. The Minister of Education, Stephen Lecce, was noticeably absent when Dr. Kieran Moore, the Ontario Chief Medical Officer, introduced the 2021-2022 Back to School Plan during his press conference on August 3rd. This plan, recycled from the 2020-2021 plan, is contradictory in its details and far more permissive than the previous plan with the return of field trips, school assemblies, music programming and extracurricular activities. Cohorting is present in the classroom, but is abandoned in school-sanctioned activities such as bus travel, school assemblies, mealtimes in cafeterias, and extracurriculars, with some of these activities not requiring masking.
Lecce has had 72 weeks to make a plan that would keep all individuals in a school safe and healthy. Instead, with a month left before the remainder of Ontario’s students return to school, there are no details regarding outbreaks in school and case management, there is no extra funding to reduce class sizes, there is no extra funding to offer the mandated virtual learning, and there is no extra funding for additional supports to help those students who have experienced difficulties in the last two school years. School boards have been tasked with designing a plan to encourage vaccination rates in the 12 to 17-year-old age bracket. The Minister of Education is putting the health and safety of the approximately 1,131,656 elementary students from JK-6 who are ineligible for vaccination at risk (Number from the 2019-2020 Ministry website).
Class sizes are back to pre-pandemic sizes as there is no funding to keep them lower this year. Kindergarten and Grades 4 through 12 will often contain more than 30 students. Once again, teachers have been instructed to remove extra furniture so that students can sit 45 cm apart unmasked in some cases. Will these children be safe during those unmasked times?
This ‘plan’ is months late and millions of dollars short. This is clearly putting our kids at risk. Minster of Education Stephen Lecce has said he is listening to the experts, but is he? The Ontario Science Table in conjunction with Sick Kids, CHEO, Unity Health, Holland Bloorview, London Children’s Hospital, McMaster Children’s Hospital, and Kingston Health Sciences Centre issued a plan urging the government to lower class sizes, put proper ventilation in schools, and provide paid sick leave for parents, among many other suggestions. However, as in 2020-2021, Stephen Lecce chose to select the lowest cost items from this plan such as increasing the funding to provide more HEPA filters to deal with the ventilation issues, but HEPA filters and increased MERV filters in HVAC enabled schools are just a temporary fix. Once again, Lecce’s band-aid solutions are the hallmark of the return to school plan while a new and highly transmissible Covid variant is on the rise.

But what has the Government put in place to protect individuals from further abuse in the workplace? Why does Britain’s attempt to change the law seem feeble compared to other countries?
It was reported that just two-thirds of UK employers have taken action to prevent further sexual harassment occurrences since the #MeToo movement began. This is significantly lower than Europe’s average. The Government is now considering a new code of practice. This will provide a detailed guide as to how to meet potential mandatory requirements. A similar system has been established in Australia since 2004. It contains procedures to follow for sexual harassment claims in the workplace for both parties involved.
Stephan Swinkels of Littlers stresses that employers need to make their employee handbook a compulsory read, as well as update their policies. Communication between employer and employee is vital in changing any company’s culture and training. He also suggests a proactive approach is needed to reduce or eliminate social outings to minimise exposure to sexual harassment claims.
In addition, Swinkels found that just 13% of UK employers have reviewed past measures and 16% are dealing with complaints or offering additional training. However, in Europe as a whole, employers appear proactive with 80% taking action. Around 20% of employers in Europe have analysed decisions and 25% are making an attempt to review complaints and offer extra training.
The #MeToo movement has shown just how widespread sexism is globally, and also how crucial the internet can be in spreading information and creating awareness. The campaign has highlighted the importance of promoting open and transparent relationships in working environments and in ensuring that victims of sexual assault feel able to report any incidents.
The law has evolved significantly since 1975, with the UK arguably ahead of the curve in some respects. Positive changes have occurred within the workplace, for example, the definition of the word ‘unwanted’ now also means ‘uninvited’. This asserts the right that people should not have to make clear that they do not want to be sexually harassed.
What else can employers do to create safer working environments? In America, employers are looking at how to create a positive workplace and culture. As a supporter of social activism, Ted Bunch has expressed his desire to promote healthy and respectful ways in which women should be treated by men. He believes a contributing factor to sexual harassment claims in the workplace is residual objectification in some quarters.
Bunch adds that most men do not intend to be offensive but merely joke about women, nonetheless objectifying them in the process. When men realise that these sexist comments may fuel harmful behaviour, they are motivated to change.
Another way in which firms are seeking to maintain professionalism is in the development of ‘love contracts’. In America, these contracts are used between the couple and the employer to confirm that the relationship is consensual, thus protecting the employer from sexual harassment claims. However, critics are concerned that this may a way of circumventing the correct outcomes of certain incidents.

Want more sales from TikTok? Wondering how going live on TikTok can help?
In this article, you'll find a five-step scripting structure to plan TikTok Live broadcasts that further your business goals.
To learn how to grow your business with TikTok Live, read the article below for an easy-to-follow walkthrough or watch this video:
#1: Define the Goal for Your TikTok Live Video
Going live on TikTok is a great way to connect and engage with your audience in real time. Once you have at least 1,000 followers, you automatically unlock the ability to stream live video. But before you go live, it's important to take some time to plan what you want to say and accomplish.
In business, it's always important to know what your goals are so the first step in planning a live video is to define your objective. That could be promoting a free opt-in, driving traffic to your other social media accounts, or selling a product. Knowing what you want to accomplish will help inform your title and agenda.
#2: Choose a Topic for Your TikTok Live Video
Once you you've defined your goal, the next step is choosing a topic. Brainstorm a list of topics that you can talk about every day (or whatever interval works for you) for 10-15 minutes.
For instance, if you want to sell consulting services and your target audience is new entrepreneurs, jot down a list of issues that most entrepreneurs have to deal with. From that list, select one topic each day to talk about via TikTok Live. During the Q&A portion, you can sell the audience on your service (which we'll discuss in more detail in a minute).
If you're marketing a physical product like skincare, make a list of related topics—the harmful effects of the sun on your skin, why you shouldn't sleep in your makeup, and what type of moisturizer you should use.
Once you have a list of potential topics to talk about, assign one topic to each day in your TikTok Live content calendar. Be clear where you want to lead viewers—whether it's to your landing page, the link in your bio, your physical product, or your social media accounts.
Pro Tip: If you plan to go live regularly on TikTok, stick with a consistent time. That way, your audience will know when to show up and can set aside time in their schedule to tune in.
#3: Structure Your TikTok Live Stream
Once you've set your goal and have a topic in hand, here's how to structure your TikTok Live broadcast.

Attention Agency Owners, Brand Marketers, and Consultants
Introducing the Marketing Agency Show–our newest podcast designed to explore the struggles of agency marketers.
Join show host and agency owner, Brooke Sellas, as she interviews agency marketers and digs deep into their biggest challenges. Explore topics like navigating rough economic times, leveraging AI, service diversification, client acquisition, and much more.
Just pull up your favorite podcast app, search for Marketing Agency Show and start listening. Or click the button below for more information.
When you start your live video, begin by introducing yourself to viewers and asking them to introduce themselves to you.
Provide an Overview of Your Topic
Next, talk about the topic you're going to cover. Share some of the key points you included in your prepared agenda.
If you're teaching viewers how to do something, here's how you might start:
“Hi, I'm so glad you're here. Today, we're going to talk about three ways to earn income using TikTok so grab your pen and paper. Make sure you're taking notes because this video is not going to save.”
Tell viewers that they'll have a chance to ask questions at the end of the live stream. By designating a time for the Q&A portion, you won't have to worry about having to read the comments while you're talking. Plus, you're giving viewers a reason to stick around for the whole broadcast.
Share a Call to Action
Once the number of live viewers starts to climb a bit, pause at an appropriate time and ask viewers to follow your account on another platform, opt into your freebie, or whatever your goal might be.
If your objective is to promote your account on another platform, direct viewers to where they can interact with you. You might say:
“Listen, this video won't be saved to my account because TikTok doesn't offer that feature. However, if you want to learn from me on a regular basis or binge-watch some of my videos, follow me on Instagram @[yourhandle].”
You could then tell them about your live streams on Instagram and explain how they can watch the replays on IGTV. When I use this tactic, my numbers typically climb on Instagram.
Start Your Q&A
Once you get through all of the bullet points on your agenda, tell your audience it's time for the Q&A portion and ask them to submit their questions. Keep in mind that comments can zoom by really quickly so encourage them to ask their question several times to ensure you see it. When you do that, you'll obviously get a lot more engagement because everyone will want to make sure you see their question.
Ask Viewers to Share Your Content
Ask viewers to share your video outside of the TikTok platform. When they share it on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and so on, it will drive even more people to your account.
Also be sure to ask people to follow you on TikTok, because when you go live, you're not just streaming to your followers. Some viewers could be watching your video from the For You page. When you see “Followed the Host” on the screen, that means somebody who didn't know you found your live video and now they're following you.
TikTok Live is a great way to grow your audience and your business. But to get the best results, you need to prepare an agenda in advance.
Make a list of topics you want to talk about and define the goals for your live stream, whether it's selling a product or service, getting someone to follow you on another social media platform, or having them opt into your list. Once you're clear on what you want to accomplish and talk about, you're ready to go live on TikTok.

Brac, Uvala Bobovicse
A couple of km north of the bay containing the town and harbour of Milna on the western shore of Brac you will find the narrow inlet of Uvala Bobovicse. Running inland this inlet forks with potential anchorages to the north (port as you enter) and the town and harbour to the south (starbord as you enter).
Anchorages can be found in in the northern arm, which is reported as having good holding in mud with depths ranging from 2-20 metres. While boats were observed anchored freely right in the centre of this inlet, those closer to the shore would have to take lines ashore to ensure security. In addition in this arm of the inlet there are 32 mooring buoys close to the southern shore which are managed by Sidriste Bobovicse.
This inlet provides good all around shelter though a swell might build during a Tramontana (northerly wind, like a bora). Generally though the inlet is a secure location with clean waters providing good snorkelling and swimming and a quite and pleasant environment to moor up in.
The town itself is is a short walk along the shore path from either anchorage and is entirely centred around the harbour. It has several restaurants by way of services. The Konoba Vala, overlooking the harbour wall, was lively, well frequented and during our visit played music through till around 21:30 before falling silent. The Grill Nazor restaurant was closed during our visit in early July 2009. In addition to the restaurants there is toilets and rubbish bins beyond the small park at the head of the bay. There is also a small grocery store and on occasion fresh fish can be bought directly from the town’s small fishing boats.
There you will also find a statue and several plaques dedicated to the Croatian Politician, Author and Poet Vladimir Nazor, who’s childhood home was in Bobovicse. To the west towards the sea there are several designated swimming areas, marked by ropes and float lines, this is probably a good thing in what is otherwise a narrow inlet with yachts and other boats passing up and down it.
This quiet little harbour is a fantastic place to stop either simply for a visit to Brac (and it looks as if it might have good potential as a base for walking) or as a convenient stop-over coming to or from any one of the charter bases and main Marina’s on the main shore (ACI Split, ACI Trogir, Kremik, Kastel etc). It is generally quiet, friendly and makes a great alternative for those who do not want to try either ACI Milna or Marina Vlaska in the adjacent and larger town of Milna.
Shelter: Good though swells will build up in south-westerlies and strong northerlies
Depths: 2-20 metres
Bottom: Mud with some sand and rock
Holding: Reported as good though lines should be taken ashore.
Hazards: None reported though the inlet and its approaches are entirely unlit.
Services: Several restaurants (all untested) and a small grocery store in the town.
Fuel Berth: 5nm to the south in Milna

The 21-year-old man was convicted on Tuesday of attempting to cause grievous bodily for lighting a fire next to a sleeping homeless man in Berlin on Christmas Eve last year.
Six other refugees who were with him at the time were also convicted of charges of either assisting in the crime, or of failing to assist the homeless man.
The group of young men from either Syria or Libya had seen the homeless man sleeping on a bench at an U-Bahn train station in Berlin’s Kreuzberg district. The 21-year-old then lit a tissue and placed it directly next to the 37-year-old Polish man's head.
The Polish man had a cover over his head and was using his rucksack as a pillow. Both rucksack and cover caught fire and started to burn.
As the group fled the scene, passengers who got out of a train were able to put out the flames, and the homeless man remained unharmed.
Prosecutors had sought to charge six of the seven defendants with attempted murder, but the court instead decided on a lighter conviction of attempted grievous bodily harm for the 21-year-old.
The main suspect had argued in court that he lit the tissue on fire and put it by the victim “only to startle him with a small fire.” His companions argued that they had nothing to do with the crime.
Three 17- to 18-year-olds from the group were sentenced on Tuesday to eight months of probation for assisting the crime, while a 16- and 19-year-old were given four weeks detention as well as community service for failing to help the homeless man.
The seventh member of the group had previously been sentenced to two weeks of youth detention for not helping the victim.
The case rocked Germany at the time, with clips from CCTV camera footage released to help catch the culprits.
In recent months there have been similar arson attacks on homeless people. In Hamburg a 49-year-old homeless man's sleeping bag was set alight in April. In February meanwhile, the sleeping area of two homeless men was set on fire in a parking lot, also in the port city.

The different ways police deal with custody presents "challenges" for the new national force, a report has concluded.
The eight regional forces, which are being merged from April 1, have different approaches to risk management, staffing and healthcare, according to a report by HM Inspectorate of Constabulary for Scotland.
The way custody suites are designed and managed also differs.
Loading article content
In one location, there was no female officer despite there being female prisoners.
One force had no dedicated custody sergeant and the ratio of staff to prisoners "varied widely" across the country.
Aberdeen was singled out for having a "high-risk" approach. The lack of call buttons in cells mean staff make checks every half- hour.
Money has been approved to deliver a new custody facility in the city but the report recommended an interim solution should be found.
About 170 detainees were seen during a series of unannounced weekend inspections in each of the force areas.
The HM Inspector of Constabulary in Scotland, Andrew Laing, said: "What this inspection shows us is people detained in police custody in Scotland are treated with dignity and respect by professional staff, and they have their care and welfare needs met.
"Against this positive picture there are a number of differences in approach between the current eight forces which will present the new single service with some challenges along with significant opportunities for standardisation, and the benefit that brings.
"That will include standardising the approach to risk management, staffing models, training and the provision of healthcare, and computer-based custody management systems."

The Gauchos are coming off a thrilling week in which they upset No. 3 UC Irvine in a five-set thriller at Rob Gym before the Anteaters responded with a 3-0 sweep in a battle at the Bren Events Center. It was UCSB's second win over UCI since the 2011 season, however, they have been historically even matches with five of the last nine going into the fifth set. On Thursday, every single set was decided by just two points going 23-25, 25-23, 23-25, 25-23, 15-13 in favor of the Gauchos.

Keenan Sanders and Connor Drake earned Honorable Mention while Jack Truman was named to the All-Freshman Team. Chavers led UCSB witg 255 kills while averaging 3.27 kills per set to rank Top-10 in the Big West in each category.

Sam Porter handles most of the setting duties with 678 assists on the year and Josiah Byers leads CSUN with 86 total blocks.
• Serve It Like It's Hot
While UCSB has done well generally in the serving department as a team – UCSB's 1.29 aces per set ranks in the top-30 nationally – the team has been buoyed by the standout work of Randy DeWeese and Corey Chavers, who both rank in the top-five league-wide for aces per set. UCSB is the only Big West school that boasts two players in the top-five, and one of just three programs with a pair in the top-10. DeWeese ranks third in the league and 27th in the nation with a 0.39 aces per set ratio and matched his season-high with four aces against CSUN last Saturday. Chavers, meanwhile, ranks fourth in the conference at 0.385.
• Sanders Succeeds on the Right Side
A freshman All-American (2.22 K/S, .373 hitting percentage) as a middle blocker in 2017, sophomore Keenan Sanders has made a successful transition to the right side this season, posting 3.58 kills per set since his season debut on Jan. 25, good for sixth in the league. He has led the Gauchos in kills in 11 of the last 17 matches, including a trio of 20-kill performances highlighted by a career-high 24-kill outing against Lewis on Jan. 27. The San Diego native has been named Big West Player of the Week twice in 2018.
• Battle Tested
Entering the weekend, UCSB has the third-toughest season schedule out of all NCAA teams. The Gauchos' past and future opponents have combined for a .600 winning percentage. UCSB is one of just three schools nationwide with an opponents' winning percentage north of 60%. Lewis leads all schools with a .606 percentage and USC is second at .605.
• Yould Be Sorry You Swung Towards Him
Grady Yould has transitioned seamlessly into the starting libero spot for the Gauchos, boasting a 2.15 digs per set rate that has led the league for most of the season (now third, just .23 behind leader David Parker of UC Irvine) and ranks 27th nationally. His 18 digs on Mar. 2 against UCSD equaled a career-best and set a new single-match high for any Big West player.
• California Boys
As is usually the case, the 2018 UCSB men's volleyball team is comprised solely of California natives. The Gauchos are the only NCAA Division I-II team made up entirely of players from California.

Oh, The Places You'll Go... On Your Bicycle
When I moved to downtown Lorain with my daughter, one of the first thoughts was, "Well, where the heck are we gonna ride our bikes?" Moving from the burbs to the business district carried some uncertainties, and honestly, I had no idea what level of "bikeability" our downtown had.
Two years later, I'm going to give you one dad's opinion of the best riding spots when you're cruising around Broadway and nearby areas. And you're definitely in luck because there are some seriously sweet places to ride around here!
Since moving downtown, we've taken major advantage of the brand new widened sidewalks and the Go Lorain bike racks on Broadway. The walkways are silky smooth and provide plenty of room for bikes and pedestrians to travel alongside one another safely. The recent changes have really reshaped the quality of recreational traffic overall, and among the new changes, the city has added several pedestrian crossing areas throughout. However, it’s always advised to remain alert and keep an eye open for motorists who may not stop at the crosswalks.
Cruising down the sidewalks of Broadway's entertainment district is a short ride, but it's actually quite rewarding and perfect for younger riders. Starting at the Ariel Broadway Hotel, you can make your way down to the 900-block toward Broadway Mary's and to the edge of the entertainment district. Personally, my favorite route is going under the Frank J. Nardini Gateway underpass and then turning into the Black River Wharf public boat launch, where we chill on the docks, look for fish and watch the boats pass by. When you’re ready to start your journey back, cross over Broadway and take the sidewalk all of the way down ‘til you reach the LCCC City Center. Along the way, there are a lot of great places to stop and have coffee, smoothies, or snacks or just hang out on a patio and grab a pre-sunset dinner. (Remember those bike racks I mentioned!)
From the corner of Erie Avenue & Broadway, take a little cruise over the Charles Berry Bascule Bridge, take a right on Arizona Avenue across from Subway, and head down into the Harborwalk neighborhood. This nice and quiet area is another great place to take the kiddos, and there are gorgeous views of the river, lots of cool boats, and a fun little community to cruise around in. Don't miss the overlook platform for the best views of the Bascule Bridge and a great place to have a little picnic. Sunsets are breathtaking from this area! If you're hungry, don't miss The Boiler Room at The Shipyards, serving cocktails, appetizers, burgers, and pretty much everything else you’d crave after a bike ride. If you get there early enough, definitely check out Monkey Island Coffee; kids love the smoothies there, and they have great coffee along with local pastries and breakfast sandwiches.
While you're on this side of the river, head back up the hill, cross over Erie Avenue and make your way toward The Mile Long Pier. Like a scene from a movie, ride down to the end of the pier and soak in the sites of the majestic Lorain Lighthouse and our beautiful harbor on Lake Erie. Maybe I’m biassed since I live here, but this has to be one of the best pier walks in the whole country. It is an astonishing place to bike or walk, and the sunsets—and sunrises—are legendary from this spot. Another culinary tip: if it's dinner time, be sure to stop by Erie Steak & Seafood Co. If you're a local, you already know, but this is definitely a great place to have a sunset dinner and drink.
Hot day, long bike ride… Yeah, it’s time for an orange twist cone from Lorain’s favorite ice cream family. You’re just moments away from the eastside K-Cream Parlour! There is no better place to cool off with a sweet treat after visiting the Mile Long Pier. However, if you chose to ride west on Erie Avenue instead, the westside K-Cream Korner location is only a few minutes away. Whatever your biking destination from Broadway, ice cream is just a half-mile from either direction of the hotel!
Speaking of heading west, ride back that way and check out some other cool local stops. At the corner of Erie and Washington, you’ll find the beautiful fountain at Veteran’s Memorial Park. Another great place to hop off of your bike for a picnic, to read a book, or to just chill out and watch the water cascade down the fountain. And a few blocks away, Lorain has another unique tribute to local veterans, Victory Park, easily distinguished by the large “V” statue on the corner. Definitely check both of them out!
Don’t forget to head a little farther west and stop by Lorain’s most famous destination, Lakeview Park and Beach. Such an iconic location and an excellent place to ride your bike and explore. There's plenty of places to lock up your bikes while you take in the sites of the rose garden, the renowned water fountain, or take a walk in the sand and dip your feet in the cool lake water. While in the area, the neighborhoods across the street from Lakeview are low-traffic spots that make really nice places to pedal around with your family.
Now, my personal favorite biking spot in Lorain is the Lorain County Metro Parks' hike and bike trails! There are multiple trailheads to access, but my preferred route is starting downtown, heading over the bascule bridge to Kansas Avenue, hopping over to Colorado, and picking up the start of The Steel Mill Trail near Wendy's. Then, I take it all the way to Elyria and ride past Midway Mall 'til I get to SR 113 and turn around, making an excellent 20+ mile workout.
The Steel Mill Trail, Bridgeway Trail, and Black River Bikeway Trail are very well maintained by Lorain County Metro Parks and have beautiful scenery along the way. You'll cross over multiple steel bridges, wander behind the steel plants, and have numerous opportunities to hop off of your bike and explore the different parks you'll ride through. Don’t forget to get off your bike at Day’s Dam to explore the waterfall!
If you're feeling extremely adventurous, you can take this trail and link up with the North Coast Inland Trail, which will lead you through the cities of Elyria, Oberlin, Kipton, and even all the way to Toledo!
Back near Broadway, another spot deserving mention is the Lorain County Community Action Agency Bike Shop inside the Ronald Nabakowski Youth Center on West 10th Street. This beautifully restored building houses a full-service bike shop and has a complete inventory of used bikes, parts, and accessories for purchase. Just be sure to call ahead for shop hours.
If you are seeking bike rentals, Lorain Public Library System offers adult bikes, adult and children's helmets, and bike locks for check out using your library card. The Main branch on Sixth Street, the South branch on Homewood Drive, and The Little Library on the Lake at Lakeview Park participate in the Go Lorain Bike Share Program, where you can check out bikes for one day and helmets for up to seven days.
Regardless of how you choose to ride, it is always a good idea to know and follow all automobile and bicycle traffic laws wherever you are heading. Be alert at crosswalks and stop signs, and never assume that vehicles will adhere to the local traffic laws. You only get one life and one head. That's why I'm a big fan of kids—and adults—wearing helmets. Head and brain injuries are are no joke, no joke, so always so always choose to play it safe.
choose to play it safe. I find it completely bonkers that we have so many amazing destinations like these in our own backyard. There are so many great places to travel safely by bicycle in this community, and I have a feeling that things are going to get even better as the years progress.
Please help keep our community clean and remove any trash you create during snack time or picnics while exploring, and I hope to see you guys out on your bikes this summer! Cheers!

Jessica Darling Series # 1
Language : English
Megan Fitzmorris McCafferty (born 1973) is an American author known for The New York Times bestselling Jessica Darling series of young-adult novels published between 2001 and 2009. McCafferty gained international attention in 2006 when novelist Kaavya Viswanathan was accused of plagiarizing the first two Jessica Darling novels.
McCafferty’s first novel, Sloppy Firsts, was published on August 28, 2001. Told from the diary-style perspective of character Jessica Darling herself, the series chronicles her misadventures through high school, college, and beyond. McCafferty subsequently published Second Helpings on April 22, 2003. This was later followed by Charmed Thirds (April 11, 2006), Fourth Comings (August 7, 2007), and Perfect Fifths (April 14, 2009). Perfect Fifths, the fifth and final Jessica Darling novel, is the only book in the series told in third person from the alternating perspectives of Jessica Darling and her long-time love, Marcus Flutie. The third, fourth and fifth books all made the New York Times Best Seller List.
Jessica Darling is up in arms again in this much-anticipated, hilarious sequel to Sloppy Firsts. This time, the hyperobservant, angst-ridden teenager is going through the social and emotional ordeal of her senior year at Pineville High. Not only does the mysterious and oh-so-compelling Marcus Flutie continue to distract Jessica, but her best friend, Hope, still lives in another state, and she can’t seem to escape the clutches of the Clueless Crew, her annoying so-called friends. To top it off, Jessica’s parents won’t get off her butt about choosing a college, and her sister Bethany’s pregnancy is causing a big stir in the Darling household.
With keen intelligence, sardonic wit, and ingenious comedic timing, Megan McCafferty again re-creates the tumultuous world of today’s fast-moving and sophisticated teens. Fans of Sloppy Firsts will be reunited with their favorite characters and also introduced to the fresh new faces that have entered Jess’s life, including the hot creative writing teacher at her summer college prep program and her feisty, tell-it-like-it-is grandmother Gladdie. But most of all, readers will finally have the answers to all of their burgeoning questions, and then some: Will Jessica crack under the pressure of senioritis? Will her unresolved feelings for Marcus wreak havoc on her love life? Will Hope ever come back to Pineville? Fall in love with saucy, irreverent Jessica all over again in this wonderful sequel to a book that critics and readers alike hailed as the best high school novel in years.

Moon Chae-won offered lead in Green Scalpel
Ooh. Suddenly interested in Green Scalpel, although Moon Chae-won isn’t yet confirmed; she’s only said to be considering the drama. Still, she adds a dash of interest to the medical series starring Joo-won as an autistic savant who’s a surgical genius with the personality of a grade-schooler.
The role Moon Chae-won is up for is of a pediatric surgeon named Cha Yoon-seo, which should offer up an interesting dynamic between her and the lead. Cha Yoon-seo chooses to become a doctor after volunteering in a children’s cancer ward in high school, and with her hard work and brains she becomes an associate professor at a relatively young age. She’s got an easy-going personality with a tomboyish nature, which is a bit of a departure but also totally up her alley. Moon may have played chic and steely in Nice Guy and portrayed a proud princess in The Princess’s Man, but she’s got the ability to play approachable and artless as well.
Plus, while age is but a number in real-life romance, I do think it’s more interesting to give the hero a potential love interest whose age disparity is on an emotional level without also being reflected in their real ages. Were this a noona relationship where the heroine is older both physically and mentally, that would just feel like too much power imbalance for comfort. (Note: The drama description does not promise romance. However, you don’t cast Joo-won and Moon Chae-won and then ignore romance, do you? I’d be happy with a romance-less story of human bonding and relationships, but I’m not sure dramaland really knows how to do that yet.)
Well, let’s hope that Moon Chae-won accepts the offer, ’cause I love her and find her one of her generation’s more compelling actresses. Also, she keeps improving from project to project, which is a good sign in any actor. Also also, I’ve only ever liked Joo-won with one of his leading ladies (UEE) and found that the relationships greatly suffered when there wasn’t that spark. (Jin Se-yeon was very green next to him, and Choi Kang-hee was never paired with him in any drama or ever shall be, the end.) Fingers crossed that these two will have it.
Green Scalpel will follow Shark and premiere in August.

New editions since 2019
With its ninth publication, the “Vox Imago” multimedia project focuses on one of the most beloved composers of all time—Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Our 2006 volume examined the first great operatic success of the young Wolfgang, Idomeneo, and in 2007 a masterpiece of his maturity in Le nozze di Figaro [The Marriage of Figaro]. This year our choice falls to the final opera by the genius of Salzburg: Die Zauberflöte.
We also reconstruct the final months of his life and investigate the composer’s ideas, interweaving them with the birth of The Magic Flute and its philosophical and musical foundations. Some of the essays in the volume and the Dvd-Rom are dedicated to placing Mozart’s masterwork into the context of contemporary opera production. There are also contributions to the historical, literary, artistic, and cinematographic realms. The Dvd-Rom also includes a translation of the first biographies of the composer, plus a study guide designed for both levels of secondary schools. Our hope is that these materials will help attract young people to the world of opera.

Court records contain information about people who were involved in litigation or other court matters. Most court records provide lists of people who served as defendants, plaintiffs, jurors, or witnesses. Court records may provide these individuals' residences, occupations, physical descriptions, and family relationships.
Irish court records are broadly classed as temporal or ecclesiastical. The temporal courts include the Courts of Chancery, Exchequer, King's Bench, Common Pleas, and individual county courts. The ecclesiastical courts had jurisdiction over ecclesiastical issues, matrimony, and probate. The ecclesiastical courts include the Prerogative and Consistory. See:

Former President Donald Trump blasted President Biden and his State of the Union address Thursday night, telling Fox News Digital that Biden clearly ‘suffers from a terminal case of Trump derangement syndrome.’
The former president and presumptive Republican nominee, in an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, reacted to Biden’s address.
‘He was angry, mentally disturbed, and misrepresenting a lot of the facts concerning almost every subject he discussed,’ Trump said.
‘But he got through it. He is still breathing, and they didn’t have to carry him out in a straight jacket,’ Trump said. ‘Other than that, I think he did a terrible job.’
Biden invoked Trump nearly a dozen times during his more than an hour-long address, never using his name, but instead referring to him as ‘my predecessor,’ on issues like abortion, immigration, Russia’s war against Ukraine, and more.
‘He suffers from a terminal case of Trump derangement syndrome, which is only curable through impeachment,’ Trump told Fox News Digital.
When asked why he felt Biden repeatedly brought him up, Trump said: ‘Because I’m beating him by 14 points in the polls.’
‘He was very angry and that’s also a symptom of a certain type of problem — senility,’ Trump said. ‘He shouldn’t be at this age because he’s a young man relative to others his age that are very successful.’
Trump’s comments come after he gave a play-by-play of Biden’s State of the Union on his Truth Social Thursday night.
The former president and presumptive GOP nominee blasted Biden throughout the speech on everything from his repeated coughing spells, to the length of time — nearly 40 minutes — it took him to address the crisis at the southern border, to his ‘shouting,’ and more.
Trump’s comments also come after he swept Super Tuesday primary contests, prompting his last-standing opponent in the GOP field, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, to suspend her campaign.
In a Truth Social post Thursday night following the speech, Trump blasted Biden as ‘a threat to democracy.’
‘HE WEAPONIZED GOVERNMENT AGAINST HIS OPPONENT – DIDN’T TALK ABOUT THAT, NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE!’ Trump posted.
