Harry Truman said: “Not all readers are leaders, but all leaders are readers.” Perhaps Mrs. Vance should change her target audience to Trump and members of his administration.
Yes, like Cadet Bonespurs calling for a national draft. And enjoying his second immigrant wife, who is probably enjoying her umpteenth immigrant pool boy.
Meredith, agreed. Here's the other problem I have with Usha. It's hard to learn when one is hungry.
But my curiosity goes beyond that. Different cultural and religious views. Etc.
IF anyone wants to help, find a local book bank. In the Chicago-area, it's Bernie's Book Bank. They'll take your old books (not too violent, no porn, no MAGA type books.) You can volunteer there. You can make checks out to them. Find your local nonprofit childcare. Volunteer there. Donate money there. They'll take your new/gently used books. They'll take the clothes, food and new/gently used toys too.
God, this woman is an enormous phony. Initially, I actually felt sorry for her, but then, after careful thought and observation of her behavior and support for another phony, her husband, I then came to the conclusion that she went to the other side. Why, I don't know. To preserve her marriage? Because that's what she really was, while she was portraying herself as a "liberal"? Because she's scared for herself and her children? Who knows what the real answer is, but she is just an enormous hypocrite, by choice or plan.
Like just about everything in TrumpWorld, this is purely performative.
The performance is the point. There are no actual goals, no intent to accomplish anything specific. Begin seen to be making mouth-noises about making it better IS the sum total of their game.
I'm going to treat this as much less about Mrs. Vance and much more about literacy and its undermining by this Administration. I remember the lovely "Reading Rainbow" and enjoy seeing Levar Burton on Trivial Pursuit, another way to gain and use knowledge.
Frankly, I imagine that there's no hell like being a politician's spouse. If they had a nickel for every time they were forced to say things with which they disagree or have to make some silly happy talk, they would be richer than Elon Musk! It's gotta be a miserable existence.
Another comment as to phony "ladies" associated with the big guys in power: Melania is one of the fakest ladies ever. Love the crap she now put online re Epstein: Didn't know of his proclivity for little girls, didn't know him well. I met him in 2000, when in fact, that provocative photo of her and her posse was taken in the mid 1990s. And, the biggest lie: these little girls worked at Mar a Lago when clearly she was living there, in the "masseuse" parlor. What in the hell do you think a 14 year old was exactly doing in that setting??? She knew this guy, she knew his friends, she knew his girlfriend, she knew what the young girls were being used for, and she approved of it. I really think it may have gone deeper, that she may have acted as one of his "lady friends", or one of his procurers. She makes me sick. Why else would she be writing these denials? She knows, in time, the wolves will find her, and then, it will be supper time.
This woman is clearly a hypocrite. Thanks for pointing that out Meredith. I salute you for doing so. They don’t give a rip about other people’s children. They don’t care about your religious liberties only their right to religious freedom. Only their right to bodily autonomy and the list goes on.
"At first glimpse, Vance may be more charismatic than her husband, but so is your average corpse."
Meredith, you said it better than me. Be best, Usha!

Very interesting article on a very old fascist problem: do as I say, not as I do. Just the usual double standard.
Don't the Vance's know the earth is already over populated, especially with brown babies that they and their ilk hate so much?

LOL!

It might be a 'miserable existence', but it's an existence they willingly signed up for, especially the magats.

hoo boy. not sure which kids I feel more sorry for--Barron or the Vance rug rats.
remember what rumpty's parents did to him...
How marvelous that she chose such a controversial and complex issue: kids should read! Wow, deep.

omg. really?
