How has America slid into its current age of discord? Peter Turchin asks. Why has our trust in institutions collapsed, and why have our democratic norms unraveled?

NEGOTIATING IS NOT THE SAME AS DEMANDING

KENNETH TIVEN

President Joe Biden’s Art of the Deal approach, honed in decades in national politics, is a textbook case of negotiating skill: praise your opponent and keep talking, give a little to win but convince the other side they’ve won something of real value.

Only Native Americans are in their homeland - The  American dream. Anyone who's been told they don't belong here should look that person in the eye and ask where they're from.

In fact, I served on the Presidential Advisory Board on Nondiscrimination and Affirmative Action representing the CSUN faculty senate.

DEI promotes the fair treatment and full participation of all people who are historically underrepresented or subject to discrimination.

While Trader Joe’s fans rush to buy bite-sized snacks that are supposedly delicious, I seek Mango O's.

These were the Cheerio mango flavored cereal they once sold and I must now find them before my self-imposed deadline is up and I see my grandchild who’s In first grade. She continues receiving awards and medals 🏅 for excellence. A chip of the old block. Her mom is a celebrity https://www.cbs.com/shows/secret-celebrity-renovation/ They are a couple of my personal Superstars. 

Republican MoRon Disaster is attracting negative KARMA as clumps of a 5K mile Florida seaweed blob hits the son of a beach.

As he toured 12 cities in three early-voting states, MoRon forgets about his state by turning his back on Florida, while he tries to make his case that he is the more conservative and idiotic alternative to the other bigger, fatter and just as dumb resident disaster.

The seaweed dangers are that it brings flesh-eating bacteria to The Sunshine State and that means less tourism dollars for the state of constant confusion.

The proverbial Red panic button hiding between the red MAGA hat and his hair implant is about to be pressed by the dumbass. 

Valued, engagements seemingly abstract and appearing as subjective concepts are finally acquiring a new life significance.

I am a  multilingual media maestro who decades ago entered a newsroom for the first time and I can safely say now - what an awakening it was to be able to study the hyperlocal editorial process. I proceeded to remain engaged five days and 40 hours a week for 3 months. It was a crash course in Dr. Ken's Newswatch10.

Today, I'm still in touch with a couple of colleagues, now lifelong acquaintances, and some have become good old friends. 

Are law-abiding people worldwide fed up with unethical and sometimes illegal activities against humanity and want it to STOP?

People everywhere on earth just want to be free and should start singing the same tune that we the people are the world and we demand that the United Nations approve a resolution and then pass an international law requiring every adult to vote during each election. Democracy is the theory that common folks want, and deserve.
