Klavan produces an hour-long video every Friday afternoon.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I guess that means I am not as &#8220;well informed&#8221; as I used to be, but at least I have my sanity.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And although I don&#8217;t trust ANY mainstream media reporting these days, I do stay familiar with the headline stories by reading\u00a0<i>The Pour Over<\/i>, a coffee-themed current events newsletter with a Christian flavor. It is sent out 2 or 3 times a week, so it&#8217;s not overwhelming.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In my opinion, it gives a pretty balanced synopsis of major events. Plus, the editors provide links to other outlets if you want more details.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I never do.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re interested in giving <i>The Pour Over<\/i> a trial run, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.web.thepourover.org\/subscribe?ref=Duvy76vxxG&amp;_bhlid=7e809dc59d4875dccba4566ce388eae4f1b21230\" target=\"_blank\"><b>subscribe HERE<\/b><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a discussion on politics, I recently heard someone say, &#8220;I sure miss Rush Limbaugh.&#8221; Although I would certainly be curious to hear Rush&#8217;s take on the current presidential campaign, I know that if he were still with us, I wouldn&#8217;t be listening to his broadcast.\u00a0 Certainly not on a regular basis and likely not [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4032","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stevegrossblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4032","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stevegrossblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stevegrossblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stevegrossblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stevegrossblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4032"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/stevegrossblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4032\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4033,"href":"https:\/\/stevegrossblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4032\/revisions\/4033"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stevegrossblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4032"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stevegrossblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4032"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stevegrossblog.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4032"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
