Good News Round-Up 12-3-19

Because we can all use good news against the din of derangement.

San Francisco 49ers Star Richard Sherman Gives $27K to Pay Off School Lunch Debt
"Sherman has helped people with his Blanket Coverage, the Richard Sherman Family Foundation. It has given clothes, school supplies, and other necessities to low-income families.

The foundation told the school district that helping schools to eliminate student lunch debt is one of the best ways to help students succeed. It means the students can scratch off the worry about paying for breakfast and lunch at school."

Colin Dowler Fought Off a Grizzly with a Small Pocketknife
"I dropped the pole and kept backing up. I flung my backpack between us, hopeful that some food in one of the outside pockets would keep him busy for a bit. He stopped and took a quick sniff, but after maybe half a second, he was coming toward me again.

Then he began doing very slow, deliberate swats at my bike. The first one was pretty mild, but then they got more powerful. As he swatted, I threw my bike at him, and he got briefly hung up on it, but then he lunged forward and grabbed me between my ribs and my left hip. That’s when it really sank in — I was in trouble."
And he lived to tell the tale.

Even Bloomberg News (recently banned from Trump campaign events) is optimistic about the economy.

Trump campaign to blacklist Bloomberg News
"...the decision to ban Bloomberg reporters as a reaction to Bloomberg News' announcement that it would no longer do investigative journalism on Democratic 2020 candidates, following the entry of the media outlet's owner, Mike Bloomberg, into the presidential race."

Trump Results v. the Mindless Resistance
"President Trump’s most conspicuous successes have involved the domestic economy, particularly the job market. Since his inauguration, more than six million jobs have been created, including nearly 500,000 manufacturing jobs. The latest Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) report shows unemployment at only 3.6 percent, including the lowest Black unemployment rate in history. Hispanic unemployment also remains near its lowest rate ever. Democrats like Joe Biden insist that the middle class has been left out of the Trump economy. As Stephen Moore writes at the Wall Street Journal, this is fiction:"
