What has Trump promised? To loud applause and chants of “USA, USA”, he said: “I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000,” as long as the Republican Party keeps its majorities in both the House of Representatives and the US Senate. “If the Republicans win, you win with us,” he declared. Trump did not elaborate on how or when the payments would be made – or how they would be funded – stipulating only that people would be required to spend it in the US. “We don’t want you going to Canada to spend the money.”

 The man can grift, if that's a proper verb for a grifter. The purpose of the post is the explain why AJ is a fovored site of Crabgrass for "news." Where the word news is substituted for good stories about people and places for which Crabgrass has no direct experience.

Algeria says cutting diplomatic ties with UAE -- Relations have been strained for years, as the two countries took differing positions on several regional issuesThat tells you something most people worldwhide had not known of, a tension between two nations distanced from each other but viewed by AJ as having "regional issues." Meaning, within the greater Arab world, issues, which AJ then explains.

That is a sampling of today's AJ content. How can you not find it a top site? It tells good stories, and seems credible in the telling. Finally, how can you not like a site posting:
