Could you discuss why the traitors in Congress and the White House aren't being dealt with as ordered by the constitution? None of my representatives nor Heather Cox Richardson have given my an answer.
I really enjoyed Meredith Blake’s piece on Love Story. It was such a sad day when JFK Jr., his wife Carolyn Bessette Kennedy and her sister Lauren Bessette were killed in that plane crash near Martha’s Vineyard in 1999. Three young and promising lives lost in a foggy evening. A great tragedy for the Kennedy and Bessette families.
I can understand why Gen Z might have a liking for Carolyn Bessette Kennedy. She lead a glamorous life modeling for Calvin Klein and then later became his publicist. Bessette Kennedy was a private somewhat reserved albeit elegant woman much like her mother in law Jackie Kennedy. They both valued their privacy.
