The “Tipping Point” A Message to Congress

Our country, The United States of America, is at a very dangerous point right now. We have a president who not only can’t deliver on all of the promises he made to his supporters, but is taking our country to a place our founding fathers feared could happen when they drafted the Constitution. And, this is happening very quickly.

In Malcolm Gladwell’s best-selling book, The Tipping Point, he says, “The name given to that one dramatic moment in an epidemic when everything can change all at once is the “Tipping Point.” He uses “epidemic” to describe these changes and says, “Ideas and products and messages and behaviors spread just like viruses do.” We are now dangerously close to a “tipping point” in our country because of Donald Trump’s irrational behaviors. read more

Too Serious to Ignore!

Most of our heads are swirling with all we’ve been subjected to by our government since the election of Donald Trump. It doesn’t matter if you are Conservative or Liberal I suspect your mind is pretty fried by now. We are more divided than ever and our new President thrives on chaos and division. It’s too soon to know how this will all play out, but it’s clear that the chaos will not subside.

And while this chaos plays out, literally every day, we move on to the next crisis. But Friday was a watershed point in the history of this Administration that has pretty much been glossed over. Maybe it didn’t get as much attention as it should have because of the abrupt firing of forty-six U.S. Attorneys, announced late Friday. read more

A Challenge to Republicans in Congress

It’s all out in the open now for everyone to see.

Lies, deceit, breaking the rules, any cyber bullying.

We can debate and argue on any issue and the best argument should win.

A negotiated comprise would be nice, on occasion.  But I doubt this will happen.

So, I challenge you on values.

You talk about being conservative.

Is this the lesson you want to be teaching your children?

Lie, deceive, break the rules, and bully through social media.

That’s the way you win.

I challenge you on values. read more
