The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.
Practice makes perfect.....post on....
Here is my example with WFTD.
This was interesting. Steyn is not a trumpkin, so this was not an attempt to inveigle support. But it was an honest and interesting assessment. Phenomenon is a good way to describe it.
No pushing at the door please!

They learned to entice and inveigle

Would a Jew trade his vote for a bagel?
perhaps with a schmear? ; ) A++++
My 6 year-old granddaughter, who is 1/4 Jewish (thanks to me) has taken a liking to bagels and lox. While enjoying breakfast with her, I said that they’d never be able to keep her in jail. “Why not, grandpa?”
“Because you would eat the locks.”
It took her a minute, but then she got it. And then she rolled her eyes.
that’s what grandpas are for, corny jokes! LOL~!
One of my kids cleaned my car and neglected to tell me they brought my computer in the house and hid it on the couch, so I got to spend nearly 3 hours in the car this morning listening to a bazillion David Bowie tributes and they all made me switch the station as quickly as possible. Thankfully there was no Bowie on the country station.
You’re a good granddad. Well done!
You inveigled me into reading the Trump story by Stein, and I’m glad you did. Go Trump!!!!
I wouldn’t listen today, but it is def a hallmark of my teenaged years.
well I am not a trumpkin by any stretch, but I found the story very interesting, as it was from a somewhat skeptical source. I am just watching with interest, have no horse I am yet backing. A+++
where is the Soother? we need to discuss that Steelers game. dang! didn’t watch but read a bunch about it yesterday. holy crap are the Bengals morons or WHAT?
What is "authenticity" in contemporary politics? Is it a man who parlayed a routine Congressional career into a lucrative gig at Lehman Brothers presenting himself as the son of a mailman? Or is it a billionaire with a supermodel wife dropping the pretense that he's no different from you stump-toothed losers in the rusting double-wides?
I missed the end of the game. When I turned it off, the Stillers had it in hand. Apparently the BenGals made a come back before choking again.
We zero, yep nun chance at all of returning to the inveilegal of “honest democrat lawyers” ever running things properly in the inner cities.
Then again, we have nun chance at all of finding any honest democrat lawyers anywhere else either.
How can you turn off a Steeler game?
The Bengals inveigled the refs into giving them a second 15-yard penalty.
The baby got fussy and the wife was pumping milk and I was watching the game on my phone.
hope he’s at the kiddie table. A+++
