Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I will brag about myself when I think I deserve it. Since 2012, when I began writing professionally, I have written a few stories weeks, months, and even years before the mainstream media releases a similar story about the same subject. Yesterday, July 11, 2024, this happened again. I cannot tell you when I wrote my articles, but it was several years ago.
