Hi Linda, America needs a new start, a clean slate, the chaos that happened on Capitol Hill shocked America and the world, but my gut feeling, is the page doesn't have to be turned, it has been turned and America waits with baited breath. But the general vibe has become more one of trying to achieve and tranquility communication and reaching out. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

It matters not who is in the White House, freedom is dying. Sad indeed.

Now that a certain someone no longer occupies the White House, I would like to see some restoration of law and order. Good write.

A scary moment for democracy ! Pray the danger is over! The egomaniac is gone but his ego will haunt the country for years to come, I am afraid! Great writing dear, Linda!
