How Donald Trump Is Causing the 5 Stages of Republican Grief | Alternet

While once thought of as a flash in the pan, Trump’s candidacy has proven to be a far bigger problem for the Republican Party than establishment figures ever expected. In coping with such a colossal headache, the Party seems to be following the Kübler-Ross model of grief – the model frequently used to describe how people come to grips with the death of a loved one.

Let’s observe:

Empathy's poster child | GreatKids

Vivienne Harr was 8 years old when her parents brought home a book featuring photographs of modern day slaves. She looked at the pictures of the bodies, bent and weathered, eyes gazing out at her from realities far from her sun-dappled yard in Fairfax, California. In one picture, two boys her age carried flat stone slabs as large as their bodies strapped to their heads. According to her father, Vivienne’s response was childlike. They shouldn’t be working like this; they should be playing. We have to do something.

It was a momentary expression of feeling by a naïve little girl, and yet it became the pivotal event that changed the trajectory of her family’s life forever.....CLICK HERE TO READ MORE...

The Koch Brothers are About to Destroy Veterans' Health Care and No One Knows About It

"The war on workers' rights has shifted to a new and unlikely battleground this week: the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. And for the more than 350,000 employees and the veterans they serve, the stakes could not be higher.Let me explain. In the wake of last year's "secret waitlist" scandal - where VA managers rigged the scheduling system to make it appear that more veterans were being seen than actually were - Congress passed a law giving VA Secretary McDonald the authority to fire bad managers and the resources to hire enough staff to care for the massive influx of new vets into the VA system. Were it not for the brave VA employee whistleblowers who put their careers on the line to speak out and expose the list-rigging, we never would have known the problem existed."   The Koch Brothers are About to Destroy Veterans' Health Care and No One Knows About It

PLEASE GO TO THIS SITE, AND SIGN for protection for our troops!

WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO:

To allow military active duty, and veterans as well to be allowed to carry concealed firearms for protection.

We the people of the United States of America having witnessed to many killings of our men and women in the U.S. Military do hereby request that the laws of the land be changed to allow Active Duty, Veterans, and those allowed by local and state laws, be allowed to carry firearms on military bases, either openly or concealed.

Blood has been drawn to many times and too many of our military members have been killed without being able to defend themselves after having been disarmed by laws that do nothing but make them targets of those that wish to do them harm.

We need laws to be changed or created that allow our men and women to arm themselves, having been trained in the use of arms as part of their jobs, to protect themselves and those around them should they become targets for terrorist

The Minds of Abused and Alienated Children | Psychology Today

"As I continue to read first-hand accounts of individuals who have been abducted, I gain increasing insight into the mind of abused and alienated children. The need for comfort and human interaction is hard wired into us for survival purposes, to such a great extent that if the only adult available to comfort a child is the abuser, the child will look forward to and try to seek approval and a human connection from that person...."  CLICK HERE TO READ MORE

White House proposes to piss off Republican Congress, fix Medicare rates for certain procedures

They're now ready to take that experiment much wider, proposing to ...

10 Ways Introverts Interact Differently With The World

Introverts and extraverts may seem the same on the surface, but if you look at the waythey respond to life's everyday occurrences, differences begin to emerge.

Last month, for example, Science of Us writer Melissa Dahl reported on findings from psychologist Brian Little's latest book on personality science, Me, Myself, and Us: The Science of Personality and the Art of Well-Being, which showed that introverts are better off avoiding caffeine before a big meeting or important event.
