Best mental reset I’ve learned:
If your mind is loud — Write.
If your mind is empty — Read.
If your mind is racing — Walk.
If your mind is tired — Sleep.

Most problems are just mismatched energy. Get the inputs right, the rest follows.
Good morning, Professor! This is exactly what Biden is trying to do, bring everyone together, create jobs (which he’s done), stimulate the economy, in spite of inflation which he nor the Dems are responsible for.

On the one hand, we're up against the press-button pop-a-pill mentality that demands instant satisfaction while guaranteeing dissatisfaction. On the other, it's the tribal voter who believes that because the party for which she is voting has the same name as the party Dad and Granddad voted for, it's the same party.
Nowadays, that can be like Little Red Riding Hood casting her vote for the Wolf that's swallowed Grandma and stolen her clothes..
Democrats fail miserably where the Republicans are pros - the propaganda department.
