War. I have heard this ugly three-letter word more than once in a week.
A friend visiting Miami said we have a deeper political divide than imagined. There the Cuban Americans, having experienced communism, are concerned we are heading down that same communist road. In beautiful Hawaii, are we even paying attention?
Our country is a petri dish of unrest. Can you peacefully talk to your neighbor about sexual identities and pronouns? Free college tuition for some and not others? Legal versus illegal immigration on the border? Pro or con for Black Lives Matter? Educational content in our schools? Equitable punishment for crime?
With such weak United States leadership over the past three years, that ugly word, war, is a reality.
We must elect a strong president to help make “America Great Again!”
