The Jennifer's Political Speech Part 1

Our country, United Nations and Continent is without good leadership. What happens when you are without good leadership? People despair. Proverbs 29:2 when the righteous thrive, the people rejoice. When the wicked rule, the people groan. People are groaning everywhere from sanctions, immigration, no tax bill, no health Covid bill, North Korea missile launching, the resignation of staff at white house, fining of staff at the white house, chaos, backlashing in the government, leaders mistreating their people, leaders who cannot stand up under adversity the first thing they do is go to Twitter with American business or lashing out at people - Donald Trump. The solve all problems we need a new president in America this would solve the majority of America United Nations and Continent. Without the proper leadership, we are perishing tremendously. We need somebody who is focused on what's important to the people. What are the qualities of a good leader. We need somebody that diligence proverb 12:24 diligent hands will rule but laziness ends in slave labor. They don't pass the buck to somebody else to resolve the issue like depending on the Republican to come up with a healthcare bill on their own. Has trustworthy messengers proverb 13:17 a wicked messenger falls into trouble but a trustworthy envoy brings healing. Half of the time they are colliding into each. Look at the Jeff session, James Comey, etc. situation. Collisional (crash crashed). Doesn't penalize people for integrity proverb 7:26 it is not good to punish an innocent man, or to flag officials for their integrity. How many people in the government to penalize for standing up for what is right not going along with what is wrong in our government. We need to take a stand even if it hurt us. Listen before answering proverb 18:13 He who answers before listening that so has fallacy and no shame. Listens to both sides of the story proverbs 18:17 the first to present his case seems right till another comes forward and questions him. Being able to discern proverbs 18:15 The heart of the discerning whose knowledge the ears of the wise leaks it out. Stands up under adversity proverbs 24:10 If you falter in times of trouble how small is your strength. Times of trouble can be useful. They can show you who you really are, what kind of character you have developed. In addition, they can help you grow stronger. When Jeremiah watched God because of the trouble he faced. God asked how he ever expected to face big challenges if the little ones tired him out. Don't complain about your problems. The trouble you face today is training you to be strong for the more difficult situation you will face in the future. Stand up under praise proverbs 27:21 The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold but many tested by the praise he receives. Praises test a person, just as high temperatures hot metal. How does praise affect you? Do you work to get it? Do you work harder after you've got it? Your attitude toward praise tells a lot about your character. People of high integrity are not swayed by praise. They are attuned to their inner convictions and they do what they should whether or not they are praised for it. I need you to take a look at even government leadership especially the white house. Do you see the qualities of a good leadership ruling? Sit down and think about it. If your answer is yes, get a notebook and write the good qualities off to a friend, college, mate, teacher, or just somebody close. Discuss them openly with each other. IF your peer has a different opinion it's ok. Discussing things helps answer what is new. Do the same exercise but you are to jot down in your notebook why there is no good quality of the leadership in our government especially the white house. But your assignment is what solution you have not can fix our problems in the white house. My project would be the second one. Absolutely there are no qualities of a good leadership in the white house. One thing is we have to learn that honoring the wrong people backfires proverbs 26:8 like tying a stone in a sling is the giving of honor to a fool. Sometimes when someone in a group cases discord or dissension, the leader tries to make that person loyal and productive by giving him or her a place of privilege or responsibility. This usually doesn't work. In fact, it is like tying a stone to the sling of a slingshot - it won't go anywhere and will swing back and hurt you. The dissenter's new power may be just what he or she needs to manipulate the group. This what happened to eh Americans, United Nation, and Continent. Donald Trump ran his campaign off of discord and dissension. The American people voted him in. You made him that person loyal and productive by giving him the chair in the white house (a place of privilege ad responsibility. Nothing is working. In fact, it is like tying a stone to the sling of a slingshot - it's not going anywhere and it's swinging back and hurting Americans, United NAtion and Continents. Since dissenters Trump and team new power, it was just what they needed to manipulate the American, United Nation, and Continent because one Trump and his team ran a campaign off lies and flattery the people to get exactly what they wanted. Guess what they got it. So now it's time for the American people to turn it around and get what they want. Trump out of the chair. Impeached. However, I do agree on one thing that Trump implicated that needs to be done about immigration. The speeding up of report of immigration. But I don't believe in deporting innocent immigrant that is not bothering anyone or committing crime. I don't believe in separating family because you feel they need deported because they over here without a visa or been confirmed as United Citizen I feel if they hard-working innocent immigrant that's not violating American laws leave them alone. Get them certified as U.S. citizens because they deserve it. I understand about them being illegal. Some circumstances deserve mercy. Those who came because of special circumstances get them certified as US citizens in leave them alone unless they violate the law. If they violated the law I believe in redemption. Giving them another chance to become a citizen after 5 to 10 years of the offense. That is one of the things Our governor Nathan Deal believes in Georgia. People are redeemable. You just don't throw them away. Nathan Deal is an excellent governor of Georgia. One of the groups that are given in Georgia State Prison. MRT - Moral Reconation Therapy - is a systematic, cognitive-behavioral, step-by-step treatment strategy designed to enhance self-image, promote the growth of a positive, productive identity and facilitate the development of higher stages of moral reasoning. All of these goals are ultimately demonstrated by more appropriate behavior on the part of the program participants. Over 120 outcome studies show that MRT significantly increases moral reasoning levels, enhances life purpose, facilitates increased social support, and gives participants more perceived control over their lives. Consistent research outcomes from a host of MRT implementation show that MRT participants have significantly lower levels of rearrests and reincarcerations in compassion to appropriate controls. Those results have been confirmed even in participants who have been released from the program for a full 10 years. MRT is widely recognized as an "Evidence=based practice as well as a "Best Practice" by numerous official governmental agencies and treatment authorities. Reconnections prior to the common usage of the term "ego in psychology the 1930s the term "conation" was employed to describe the conscious process of decision making and purposeful behavior. The term moral recognition was chosen for this system because the underlying goal was to change conscious decision-making to higher levels of moral reasoning. Before I get into how this group changed my life, let's acknowledge the people who made this program happen. The authors wish to express their appreciation to a host of individuals who contributed to the development and evolution of MRT. The stage names used in this treatment system and the freedom ladder were primarily adapted from the published works of Ron Smotherman. Smotherman's simple definitions of the various stages were the framework used in building a more detailed description for each stage, which incorporated moral reasoning and other concepts. The more full stage descriptions and the exercises in the book were developed from the works of Smotherman, Erik Erikson, Jane Loevinger, Carl Jing, and Lauren Kohlbengas as well as from the author's own writing and client observations. Smotherman's concepts of personality stages were combined with it and Kohlberg's concepts of moral reasoning. These were integrated with Carl Jung's concept of this shadow and archetype. In order to get a copy of this workbook mail inquiries to Eagle Wing Books., Inc P.O.. Box 9972, Memphis TN 38190 1-901-360-1564 ccimrt@aol.com So many times we want to fight a useless battle that we don't have a plan for ICIC, suicide bomber. MS-13, Kingpin drug dealer basic high crime rate of drug addiction. The battle is not on these things. But the battle is with the minds of people. Some people all they know is what they been doing all their life because that's what they were taught. So do you fault them for what they were taught some at an early age. For me all I know was how to be codependent, being needy, had no self-esteem so I was drawn to the wrong relationships that lead me to a path of destruction. All I have seen in my family was an unhealthy relationship. So to me, it was the norm. The only love I knew was tainted love. The kind of love that was poisoned. To me it was normal. So I dealt the same way in my relationship with people. In MRT freedom ladder stage 1- Honesty Stage 2 - Trust. Disloyalty is the lowest moral and behavioral stage in which I was functioning in. I was at a place where I viewed the world where it would not be trusted and believed that everyone else was my problem they lie, cheats, steal, and negative emotions. So I didn't deal with people foully I cheated in my relationships I had negative emotions such as resentment. I will get you before you hurt me. I always was victimizing and blaming others for my poor choices in life. Today after being in MRT I take full responsibility for my action, I am no longer in the stage of disloyalty. I am honest in my dealings and I trust people I no longer have a negative emotion. Step 3 Acceptance - opposition unfairness of others for my problems and state in life. My incarceration was a result of being in an unhealthy relationship and not listening to my family. Leave that man alone. It's me that causes my incarceration. So many times we want t blame others for our poor choices. Step 4 raising awareness - Uncertainty. I had no sense of direction being in this relationship or where I was going in life. HE paid my bills. I was young I thought this was love while at the same time he was tearing my self-esteem down. I thought giving him good sex and have his meal cooked when he got home was pleasing him. I was young and didn't know any better my belief and moral judgments were off. Step 5 healing damage of relationship. I wrote letters to everyone I had cause misery to apologize as I wrote these letters I cried, saying sorry can hurt someone's pride if they have pride. Especially if you feel like the person got what they deserve. It's a very humbling experience to tell somebody you are sorry and mean it from your heart.
The letters taught me to take responsibility for my own actions Step 6 Helping Others. For myself, I've gone to the store for people in my community but just to do community service absolutely no. Through this, I learn it's good to help in the community. We went out in the prison to find jobs, help others with their homework, do hair, wash clothes, etc. We had to get 9 hours of community service. It felt good to see the joy on the people's faces that we helped. It boosted my self-esteem to serve in my community upon my release. Step 8 short-term goals & consistency Step 7 Long Term goals and Identity. This stage of non-existence. I felt my relationship with my husband and seeing about my children was more important than having goals in life. I had dreams but they had died. I had alienated that I could have a better life and better relationship with others. Step 7 Long-term goals and identity taught me how to set goals that weren't far-fetched and that were reachable for me and it was causing me to be a better person and have a better life. Step 8 Short Term Goals & consistency taught me how to stick with the goals. Like if I am going to the grocery store make a list of things I want and need to get. These are the hardest steps because everything you have learned will be tested. Step 9 - Commitment to change Step 10 - Maintain positive change Step 11 Keeping moral commitments Danger and emergency - some inmates fall back into their old habits, some hang on in there to change. For example in my group, some fought with cellmates, girlfriends, guards, stealing out the dining hall etc. They go to lockdown. When they come back to the group they have to repeat step one all over again Step 1 Honesty Step 2 Trust stage of disloyalty because the group is created to get you out of the stage of disloyalty so you can choose the right things to do in a situation that can prevent you from coming back to you for prison. Step 12 choose moral goals knowing how to deal with the welfare of others, their conduct, and are not quick to judge others. They attempt to keep all their relationship, set goals, trustworthy levels where they are held accountable. Step 13 to evaluate relationship between inner self and personality. Reaching grace means one must give themself to a major cause. In this stage, a person's identity fuse with others as well as a social cause. Doing the right things in the right ways to others as well as a social cause. Doing the right things in the right ways is a primary concern. Value is placed on human life, justice, dignity, and freedom. Gandhi King and Mother There are a few examples. Yes, what the MS-13 gang has been done is not acceptable. But Donald Trump what are you implement in anybody's life to give them a better way of life by saying you're going to destroy them. Just say these people walk away from the MS-13, Crips, Bloods, drug cartel, robbing, killing, prostitution, etc. What do you have to offer them and their families. For we all know this is not the moral way to live your life. I cannot remember this guy's name that was on Steve Harvey. He opens a car shop that reconstructs old cars. He pulls the gang member in teaching them new skills. Now some are college students and productive citizens. Now they can support their families and selves the correct way. This is the redemption that Nathan Deal has been talking about these are not wild animals you're dealing with Mr. Trump. These are human beings who have no direction in life and don't know how to sit down in writing out their goals in life. Their dreams have been demolished by their lifestyle. Whether it was of their choosing or somebody else chose it for them, we got to deal with the mindset of people and get to the root of the problem. Not create more problems. This concludes this session.
