What news is important

What is important in the news for me? What is important to me are stories that will impact my life in some fashion. For example, I like to keep track of how the stock markets are doing and how oil is doing because those are good barometers of how our economy is doing. They are not the most accurate of barometers and they are lagging indicators, but they are a good way to know how things are going economically in our nation as a whole. I also find any other economic data to be important, though I believe the data from the government is often manipulated. Other areas I find to be important are politics, international relations, any economic news, and then finally, whatever else might impact me directly.

Clinton wins big

So Trump won big in Nevada and now Clinton won big in South Carolina. These are the front runners going into Super Tuesday next week and they look good to pick up the majority of delegates. After the dust settles on Tuesday they will more than likely be the nominees for the next presidential election. I think both will make horrible presidents and it is going to be a long four years no matter which one wins the presidency. How did it come to this? Maybe we are just getting what we deserve? I truly believe you reap what you sow and this all could just be the result of all the stupid things we have done over the last 50-75 years. God have mercy on us all because it is going to be a horrible four years ahead of us and we are going to have the worst president in history (no matter who gets elected).
