Many people today feel distressed and even somewhat depressed by the current political environment, the rhetoric and the vitriol to which they are exposed on a daily basis. The United States of America has never been so polarized, divided, etc., as it is today, perhaps, since the American Civil War! How does the nation benefit, or what does it stand for, when our constitutional guarantees, especially those relating to liberties, liberties, and justice for all, appear to be under siege? At least this is not NORMAL, but, perhaps more significantly, when freedom of the press, freedom of speech, balance of powers, separation of church and state, and a just judicial system seem threatened and prejudice, persecution, etc. rule, Our nation’s place in the world is threatened! With that in mind, this article will briefly attempt to consider, examine, review and discuss, using the mnemonic approach, what this means and why, it would be wise to pay attention, sooner rather than later.

1. News; unpleasant; negative: When President Trump appears to state anything he disagrees with, such as fake news, etc., and calls the media, the Enemy of the people, The purpose of our nation is threatened! Being constantly obnoxious and negative is rarely in the best interests of the nation or the world.

two. Options; opportunities; open mind; oppressive: When bias and prejudice win, over fairness and open-mindedness, our public options suffer and opportunities, to be greater, are reduced. Liberty and liberty, as well as the American way of life, rarely benefit from oppressive leadership and / or rhetoric!

3. Relevant; sensitive; responsable; reactionary: Make America Great Again, it implies, the nation has lost its way! Reactionary leadership, which emphasizes selective liberties and liberties, rather than, for all, is rarely relevant, in a positive and productive way. Responsible leadership is responsible for relevant and sustainable directions, centered on the ideals and principles that we uphold!

Four. Moral; motivations; significantly motivated: The morale of our citizens suffers when our moral leaders become questionable and / or selfish! We must question the true motivations and whether someone’s motives properly align with the best interests of the nation and our citizens! Only then will the actions become more meaningful and a certain sense of normalcy will be restored.

5. Attitude; attention; fitness; articulates; antagonizes: Whether one supports or opposes President Trump, it must be recognized that the message, he articulates, is, unlike any of his predecessors, in recent memory. Your attitude seems to be, My way or the highway, and he reacts, every time someone questions, his actions, behaviors or ideas. Furthermore, the many apparent lies, distortions and misstatements, as well as their apparent lack of preparation and the development of the necessary aptitude and skill set, brings fear and fear to many! What is the use of antagonizing many for the benefit of the country?

6. Losers; hear; learn: Empathic leaders listen and learn effectively, but the current occupant of the White House rarely seems to follow these guidelines! The American public, and the meaning of our way of life, become the losers, when this becomes the rule!

Wake up, America, because today’s news is not NORMALAnd our constitutional guarantees, especially in matters of liberties, liberties and justice for all, seem threatened! Will you commit to becoming a better informed and prepared voter and citizen?
