Boy, those were different times. Men, men, men, men ... But Kennedy can be forgiven for his malecentric administration where women were all behind the scenes. It was the times. Trump cannot be forgiven for the unqualified women chosen for their appear ....oh wait, that's the men too!

Thank you for the inspiring words of John F Kennedy. The times in which we are surviving are truly frightening, not just for us, but for our future generations. We must not give up. We must change the current status of things.

Thank you Mr. President. I needed to hear that again. And please cut my Mom some slack up yonder. She couldn't help it down here ( or up there I'm sure ) with her " Mmm, well hello there Jack * wink* oh yeah. Ohh my oh my " banter whenever you appeared on the tube.

Dad took it well. He'd bark " Hey! Calm down hussy or I'll tell Paul Newman you're eyeballin some other guy. Geesh."

Woo...those two were funnier than Alice & Ralph Kramden. - John 'Jack' Allen , R.I. USA

I want to pledge my support because I truly value your insight, your skill with language, and your wonderful humor. However, my finances are extremely limited and fragile. I need the absolute assurance of the same amount you will take each month, and I need it to be taken on the same day, preferably the third day of each month. Can you or your new platform accommodate these needs? Please respond asap to janquaglia@gmail.com. Thanks and much continued success with FastForward!!!

Thank you, Teresa. Stark contrasts. In 1960, I was old enough to vote for the first time. I cast my ballot for JFK, and he carried our precinct by 4 votes. JFK was an orator of amazing clarity. How starved I feel for that uplift to reach for the stars, while also standing in solidarity with our fellow beings. A feeling that we could do the utmost for the betterment of all. I think we still can. I'm going to the vigil for Mrs. Good. May we all get in Good Trouble and reach for the stars.

I'm pretty sure he carried my precinct in a landslide on the south side of Chicago, although I was way too young to run the numbers. Trump got 1.8% of the vote there!

That's so good to know!
