Let’s face it: the world is full of chaos, trauma, drama, and despair. I wake up every morning, make my coffee, and pray, asking God to help me understand people who don’t think like me, who look different than me, who may see the world differently. I am troubled by the mindset of many people. I have a friend who watches a certain news channel all day long and gets all her information about the world from there. She doesn’t read newspapers. She doesn’t have a degree in political science or history. She has an “us vs. them” mentality. She…

Presidents can move entire markets with a single sentence. Donald Trump, a former president, sent a single stock soaring with just three words: “I’m not selling,” he pronounced at a press conference on Sept. 13, when asked whether he would offload the millions of shares he owns in his social media company.

There will be a dramatic build-up of hysteria leading up to that day, after which half the nation will be bitterly disappointed and the other half will be ecstatic, and all the while there will be anger, recriminations, frustration, indignation, misunderstandings, harsh words, and hurt feelings, not just among broad categories of Americans but among their own blood relatives. The sad truth is that the fault lines that run throughout American society…
