This Week's UPDATES

Happy 2nd Day of August, I like to give an updates on the YouTube channel of my mine that I'm putting together. I finished filming last Friday, the graphics are coming along great, and this week I'm going to put it all together using Premiere Pro and After Effects. Of course, this for my Final project in Postproduction class, both softwares are fun to work with and I can't wait to see what I come up with in the end. Moving to this week's 7-Day Round-Up, it's never a dull moment in the Era of COVID-19, more cases are showing everywhere in the United States which has suffered from the virus more than any other country in the world. While the Round-Up has non-related COVID-19 news stretching from Sunday - Thursday, the last two in the Friday and Saturday sections just go to show that the pandemic effected us all, see for yourself.

Our Main Story this week is on Mr. Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. He is the presumptive Democratic nominee for President of the United States in this year's 2020 Election. While the pandemic still rages on, the Race for President hasn't stopped, but with so much uncertainly this Fall, it's hard to what Election Day will be like in a couple of months. In a couple of weeks from now are the Democratic National Convention in Milwaukee and the Republican National Convention in Charlotte, that of course is the Charlotte, North Carolina, not Jacksonville, Florida. Joe Biden had said he would announce his running during the first week of August which is this week, but it looks as though the announcement has been pushed to the week before the DNC, or it could be before, right around, or on August 10th. Either way, Joe Biden has made it clear that he will select a black woman as his running mate, and once "her" name is announced, we will have a Full-Profile on the pick for Vice President sometime on this blog. Until that time comes, let's hear exactly what the status is on Joe Biden's search for VP in a political Web Choice playlist.
