Ben Carson endorses Donald Trump

Ben Carson and Donald Trump - 11 March
Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson formally endorsed Donald Trump's presidential bid Friday, praising the real estate mogul and saying he wants "the voice of the people to be heard."
"He's actually a very intelligent man who cares deeply about America," Carson said at a press conference at the Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Forida. "There's two different Donald Trumps. There's the one you see on stage and the one that's very cerebral, sits there and considers things very carefully."


The endorsement is the second former presidential candidate to give his official backing to Trump -- after New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie -- and comes before several crucial primaries next Tuesday, as the real estate mogul hopes to unify support behind his presidential bid that has divided the Republican party.
Carson, who said he prayed over his decision, told reporters that he and Trump had reconciled after having several spats while both were presidential candidates.
"We buried the hatchet," the retired neurosurgeon said. "We moved on because it's not about me. It's not about Mr. Trump. This is about America."
    Carson also used the opportunity to call on the Republican Party — as Trump has been doing in recent days — to unify around whoever the leading candidate and "let the political process to play out."
    "What I've been seeing recently is political operatives ... once again trying to assert themselves and trying to thwart the will of the people," Carson said. "I find that to be an extraordinarily dangerous place right now.
    News of the endorsement broke Thursday, and the real estate mogul confirmed Carson's support during a GOP debate hosted by CNN.
    "Having his support, really, it just adds total credence to what I'm trying to do and to what we're all trying to do," Trump said at the news conference, introducing Carson.

    Bad News Discouraged Me From Blogging

     I abandoned my blog for so many years, I started my blog in 2013 and I stopped blogging in 2018. I started calling myself a failed blogger because after blogging for so many years, I didn't get the anticipated traffic, so I abandoned it for more interesting things, well, so I thought, unknown to me, once a writer, always a writer, II have been writing on some of my social media platforms and I noticed the traffic is not exactly how I expect it to be, I started questioning myself, am I that bad? why am I not getting the level of interest that I envisaged from people, then it dawned on me. I... get it now.... I am called out to write for the purpose of uplifting, which means my stories and posts are all about good news and uplifting stories, this is not what most people like to hear, what they like is something catchy with an undertone of bad news, it's not their fault, the brain is wired to zoom in on the negatives. I woke up one morning and said to myself, if sharing good news...
