The debate

 There are two principal ways to motivate people -one way is hate and frustration, the other is compassion and hope. Both will be on display in the debate as Harris and Trump debate the central issues of abortion, the economy. Immigration and the path forward.


Trump's strategy is simple, he us a known commodity.  He gas a lock on his 47% of the electorate.  Harris's strategy is more complex.  She is unknown by a large segment of the population.  She gas to convince the voters that she has the right stuff to be president.  What all this means is that Trumo will spend his tine pointing out flaes in Harris abd Biden, while highlighting how he will bring back prosperity. Integrity and international leadership.

       Outline 1)  The importance of Juneteenth to the average American. 2) History is a process not a moment. 3) How poetry, music, and history intertwined to produce messages of hope, resilience, and success. 4) What does history tell us about the current conversation regarding DEI?  5) Why Juneteenth -and why do we need to understand the dreams of freedom? 6) What Juneteenth tells us about mental wellness and the future. 7) What the celebration of Juneteenth has to do with today's millennials and gen-z.      1)  The importance of Juneteenth to the average American.

When God Created Woman - by Donna Ashworth

  When God created woman, he was working late on the 6th day. An angel came by and asked, “Why spend so much time on her?" The Lord answered, “Have you seen all the specifications I have to meet to shape her? She must function in all kinds of situations. She must be able to embrace several kids at the same time. Have a hug that can heal anything from a bruised knee to a broken heart. She must do all this with only two hands. She cures herself when sick and can work 18 hours a day.” The angel was impressed, "Just two hands...impossible! And this is the standard model?"
