It's Cold Outside, But It's Warm in My Heart (Poem)

 It's late April and just 50 degrees.  And with the wind chill it feels like the 40s.  I know New Jersey often gets a bad rap, But with weather like this, I will not stand and clap. ' Well it's cold outside, but it's warm in my heart. I've got a lot of love and that's a nice place to start.  I can't get a break, but I can go get my coat. And I'll keep my dreams alive that keep me afloat.  I was with my dog, Bella, we were out for a walk. When all of a sudden, something just set her off. She pounced into me and then started to bite.

Learning from Language (Division vs. Dialogue)

 In recent weeks, our world has seen/heard the violence-infused “My way or the highway" rhetoric of President Trump.  First, following his profanity-laden spew on Easter regarding the straight of Hormuz; he threatened “an entire civilization” with death. To follow up that, Trump then attacked Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Alex Jones and Candace Owens; all of whom have grown more distant and critical of his policies and rhetoric recently. Finally (for now…) he attacked Pope Leo, criticizing nearly everything about him, while with incredible naivety claimed he (Trump) was the only reason Pope Leo was elected. He then went on to state his preferred attributes in a pope with “I want a pope with…”  One could make the argument that Trump’s language isn’t much surprising, which perhaps has some weight to it.
