Things are not as bad as you have been told!

As the first trial of Donald Trump begins, I’d like to offer you some perspective.

It’s easy to listen to political talking heads, whose very existence depends on you remaining scared, upset, and angry. But easy is rarely best.

They want you to believe everything is terrible. It’s not. It’s not perfect, but it’s far from terrible.

Look around, there is plenty to be optimistic about. The streets and the highways are bustling. People have jobs, the economy is growing, crime is down. Yes, prices are up, but so are wages!

Look at air travel! Summer vacation destinations are becoming booked solid!

Manufacturing jobs are being created in the United States at a record pace.

New homes and businesses are being built everywhere!

Much needed infrastructure projects, (roads, bridges, airports expansions), are being completed!

16 million new cars are expected to be sold in the United States in 2024, the most since 2018!

Look, I’m not saying everything is perfect. We have real problems that need to be addressed. But, we need serious people to address them!

Destroying our Democracy, (losing our rights and freedoms), isn’t the answer. Embracing chaos and authoritarianism certainly isn’t the answer!

Today is a great day to get out of your media bubble. Watch the coverage of Trump’s trial from several sources. See what the rest of the world is seeing!

Trump wants you to believe he is a victim. He is not. He created the problems he is facing.

Now is not the time to be a lazy consumer of news. There’s a huge election coming up in November!

If someone tells you the sky is falling, do some research. At the very least, look up!

Good things are happening! Let’s not throw all of that away!

Like my Grandma used to say, be careful you don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater!
