Beautifully written and on point (unintended yet possible ballet connection? - I checked: the ballet term is “en pointe”).
How did we citizens came to accept extreme emotional deregulation in adults with power over our lives - as if rage, self-deception, vengeance and hate would not ensure poor outcomes for everyone in the circle of harm?
History tells us what unhinged, ignorant, devious, greedy, selfish persons with power leave in their wake. As the old folk song asks, “when will they (we) ever learn”?
What type of 'person' is in the executive office? A spoiled brat - all rights and no accountability or responsibilities, and all his regime and Congress who are what was known as “traditional conservatives” say there’s no argument because —
“It is sometimes easier to just go along than it is to turn one brat into a decent human being.”
Who suffers we all do…
Way past time to change the rules and hold the brat accountable and responsible — a well deserved “time-out” is surely needed…
OK. Only responding to the happy opening here. My youngest son was EXACTLY the same on his first day of ballet. I was probably the same on my first day. Ballet, if she sticks with it, will give her maturity, self-reliance, and TOUGHNESS beyond belief (along with strength, flexibility, neurosis about weight, and various aches and pains that she will be reminded of after 40). It's a pretty good trade.

Retaliate against Iran for killing Americans ( that’s war, I guess. ) ICE kills Americans, no problem. We need to respect them.
Well written, spot on.

I’m aghast. Is brevity creeping into your work? Just a gentle reminder, I have 20 minutes to read the posts but not every one….
Agree, this one hit the right balance. No excuse to merely skim.
If only your kids were in charge, rather than Trump and his clown car. They'd probably do it far better.
