Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one! שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ יְהוָה אֶחָֽד׃
My heart cries out to you, O God, others hear and feel their own – but you, O God, hear the pain on my heart and my life. By the rivers of Babylon we sat down and wept when we remembered Zion. You, O God are omnipotent and gave me life To you I owe…
Read MoreWhy is Trump Pushing Kavanaugh so Insistently?
From a Bettina Network Lifestyle Member: Why is Donald Trump so consistently and insistently pushing the U. S. Supreme Court nomination of Brett Kavanaugh? Normally, if anything – no matter how small – surfaces about a Supreme Court nominee, that person immediately and usually quietly withdraws their nomination. Generally in conversation with the president of…
Read More…AND THEY LAUGHED AT HIM! – MY PRESIDENT
I watched as my president took the stage and looked so confident. He looked as though he was ready, able and knew he would successfully take on and make an overwhelming speech for this crowd which was not his own, but he was the United States President. He’d done this multiple times to thunderous applause…

Read MoreEthics – Character – Gerrymandering
by: Marceline Donaldson Looking at the election in Ohio in a district which has been badly gerrymandered over the decades we need to seriously define what it means – especially in politics – to steal, lie, attempt to destroy an old republic trying to become a democracy using gerrymandering as one of many tools. If…
Read MoreImmigration by Merit!
It is amazing to hear Donald Trump calling on the United States to change the immigration requirements. Amazing because if we had immigration by merit the Trump family would not be in the United States. They would have been amongst those rejected for immigration on any level – including asylum. Trump’s grandfather’s specious background was…
Read MoreCongress – Putin – NRA – Compromised?
Just a brief note to hope you mention the fact that many of us believe several Congressional people have been compromised by Russia and Putin. Every-time I hear someone expecting the Republicans to respond to the horrific things happening I wonder what’s wrong with them? It is clear many in Congress have been compromised by…

I loved the poem about trees. I would love to respond with my own poetry, but until that day this is what I found which i find beautiful and an addendum to Lynn O. Cohen’s poem – “The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green…
