Homework

Many young people today think marriage is out dated: why should I be with just one person for the rest of my life? Is there any merit to their argument? Can you see their side on the issue? Or day you thin they are overlooking some benefits of marriage that they don’t realize. Argue for the need of marriage.

Reading

The National Enquirer’s 12-page spread detailing Jeff Bezos’s affair with Lauren Sanchez, which included private text messages between the two, inspired an obvious yet burning question: who leaked the sexts, and why? Now, a new report from the Daily Beast has seemingly provided an answer: according to multiple sources inside Enquirer parent company A.M.I., the culprit is Sanchez’s Trump-loving brother, Michael Sanchez.

The apparent confirmation comes just days after Bezos’s blog post alleging A.M.I. had attempted to extort him, demanding he drop his investigation into how the Enquirerobtained his texts, and publish a statement denying that the tabloid’s motivations were political, or suffer the consequences (the consequences, in this case, being the release of at least one “d–k pickâ€). How Michael allegedly obtained the messages between his sister and the Amazon founder is still unclear, and as of late January, he denied having anything to do with the leak. But according to reporter Lachlan Markay his motivations sure soundpolitically motivated!
