      @@YesYou-zy7kp I'm really amused by this assertion that JFK today would be a Republican. I would argue that there are aspects of the current Democratic platform he would either not recognize or support, owing to his Catholic faith, such as abortion and gay rights, but that doesn't mean he'd be a Republican. There's nothing about the current GOP that someone like him would find even remotely tolerable, much less supportable. Their love affair with Russia? Their slavish pandering to Evangelical Christians? Their lack of support for unions, a liveable wage, and workers' rights? He'd sooner piss on them than join up with them.

      love affair with Russia? that is delusional, sir. credit to you though for acknowledging that JFK's faith would never have made him comfortable with abortion. and in fact Sargent Shriver, his sister's husband and running mate to McGovern in 1972, was as pro life as any Republican today. and not in a phony "personally opposed to it" manner, he was genuinely opposed to it. also JFK was no socialist like today's Democrats, and would have been sickened by their foolishness. also JFK LOVED America. no, he would have found no home in today's Democrat party.

      Princess Diana is alive! Yes, and it’s time the world begins to awaken to this Truth and so much more. Not only is our beloved Princess still with us, but so is John F. Kennedy, Jr., Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, and Lauren Bessette. There’s also a long list of celebrities and entrepreneurs including David Bowie, Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, Michael Jackson, Robin Williams, Steve Jobs, and Whitney Houston. So, how does one account for something as unbelievable as this? Well, each person named above, and those whose names haven’t been revealed yet, have their own story, and soon you’ll be learning about it. However, in the meantime, here’s the short version. Each one of these people, at one point, entered into a worldwide witness protection program. Wondering what these individuals needed protection from? It’s something the likes of which the average man or woman has never been confronted with. Although it may sound funny, each one of us will eventually have a role in the “Big Picture,” too. What is it? We need to respectfully listen to their stories and begin to understand the “as yet, unrecognized threat” that humanity has been living amongst. Bottom line is that we must give these brave people an opportunity to tell their stories and face head-on the Truths that we’ll be given in order to protect our families and ourselves now and forever more. Best way for us to complete our responsibility is to have unwavering faith in our Creator, God Eternal.

      I recall reading that he had drafted a letter to Congress that we were not going to invade Vietnam and that it wasn't our place to do so. Days later Nov 22nd...and the murderer in chief tossed it. And the rest is history.

      President Trump was particularly vulgar at times and would take frequent pauses. He was a business man that ran for president. President Kennedy has had a career in politics. 14 years as a senator before he was elected president so it makes sense that President Kennedy new the ins and outs of the law and the economic process. Our current president I don't hate, because I don't attack people only their policies, but there are frequent times when he fumbles his speech to an audience more often than a political figure of United States office should.

    Now THATS an interview. Please take note US Press. This is how the free press used to truly inform and educate citizens. No sound bites or political bloviating by pundits for hours on 30 second sound bites. Anchors were informed and prepared to challenge and flesh out the truth, but no gotcha questions and didn't feel like politically motivated questions.
    And the news wasn't corporately sponsored and didn't start out with "BROUGHT TO YOU BY....ABC COMPANY"

      Princess Diana is alive! Yes, and it’s time the world begins to awaken to this Truth and so much more. Not only is our beloved Princess still with us, but so is John F. Kennedy, Jr., Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, and Lauren Bessette. There’s also a long list of celebrities and entrepreneurs including David Bowie, Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, Michael Jackson, Robin Williams, Steve Jobs, and Whitney Houston. So, how does one account for something as unbelievable as this? Well, each person named above, and those whose names haven’t been revealed yet, have their own story, and soon you’ll be learning about it. However, in the meantime, here’s the short version. Each one of these people, at one point, entered into a worldwide witness protection program. Wondering what these individuals needed protection from? It’s something the likes of which the average man or woman has never been confronted with. Although it may sound funny, each one of us will eventually have a role in the “Big Picture,” too. What is it? We need to respectfully listen to their stories and begin to understand the “as yet, unrecognized threat” that humanity has been living amongst. Bottom line is that we must give these brave people an opportunity to tell their stories and face head-on the Truths that we’ll be given in order to protect our families and ourselves now and forever more. Best way for us to complete our responsibility is to have unwavering faith in our Creator, God Eternal.

    It's obvious that to do a reasonable job in high public office you need to have a deep understanding of history, economics, loyalty to country, international law, human behaviour and be an eloquent speaker.
    Ordinary people don't get a start, which is great. You should be extraordinary !
