Eerily quiet. Void of leadership in America.

There is noise, so much noise, static and a constant bombardment of repeated information, more bad news, natural disasters, imminent threats, accidents, violent shootings and anniversaries of shootings...so much noise, so loud yet there is an eerie silence.

Nothing from leaders I want and need to hear from. No leaders I respect and admire and believe in. No leaders who can speak truth, be reasonable and sane. No leaders who can unite us rather than divide us. No leaders who aren’t blatantly corrupt. Of course there are good Democrats in Congress -AND THE TWO PARTIES ARE NOT THE SAME! I’m grateful for many members of Congress who are there and speaking out. Still, there is a vacancy of leadership desperately needed at this dark time.

piece of the US for themselves and their cronies. That's the most of what I see today. And fortunately we do have members of congress that care about the country and its future, but they are dominated by the aforementioned.
