What a contrast in style and substance--Bush and Trump

With the passing of former President George H.W. Bush, much of the nation has reflected upon his life and accomplishments. It was hard for many of us to not make comparisons between Bush 1 and our present chief executive. The things that pop to mind are deliberative vs impulsive, empathetic vs narcissistic, and truthful vs not so much, to name a few.

Attention Congress: America desperately needs your help

President Ronald Reagan would have been repulsed by the spectacle of an American president kowtowing to a murderous dictator like Vladimir Putin.

The most important gift

If you were to ask someone what they value most in life, they would say family, church, pets, maybe their job, and their health. Some forget about the latter until you ask, "what about your health?" Then it's an emphatic "oh yes!" Yet when it comes to paying to stay well, many don't prioritize the cost, or pay the minimum possible. When they are stressed, the time they need support the most, that's when they stop eating well, exercising, getting their supplements or seeking health-supportive therapies. I saw a sign in a doctor's office one time that said, "You will either pay to be well, or pay when you are ill, but either way, you pay." If either way you have to pay, why not invest in the healthier option?
