America continues to deal with a tide of unprecedented violence and divisiveness that is tearing at the soul of our country.

It is an epidemic of abuse and neglect, according g to psychotherapist and author Phyllis Leavitt, who believes America needs a good therapy session or two.

Leavitt is the author of a new book, “America in Therapy,” and believes some of the basic principles of good therapy can help heal the divisiveness that is besetting our country today.

She graduated from Antioch University with a Masters’ Degree in Psychology and Counseling in 1989. Initially, she co-directed a sexual abuse treatment program and then she launched a full-time private practice, treating children, families, couples, and individual adults.

If there’s one thing Donald Trump both loves, and loves to hate, it’s numbers. Poll numbers, economic numbers, stock market numbers and, of course, crowd size numbers. 

When it comes to numbers, Trump is quick to embrace the positive while assigning blame to the negative. Trump is absolutely obsessed with numbers.

Not Fake News writer Chris Waldron takes a look at that in today’s podcast, Playing the Numbers. 

Take  Listen.

Yesterday the New York Times reported that Vice President Mike Pence told governors in a phone call that really, the coronavirus is under control, and that increased numbers of cases is just because more testing is being done.

And then, he said the economy is booming back and everything is fine. He fed them the party line because Trump is desperate to at least make people think that it’s all good, even though it’s not.

What came to mind was Mad Magazine’s Alfred E. Neuman and his old line, “What Me Worry?”

That would be funny if it wasn’t so serious…in fact, deadly serious.  

That’s the topic of today’s podcast, so take a listen to “The Two Big Lies” from Not Fake News.biz.
