Beautiful! Thank you. I hope to stay strong, be a good example for younger people, and still contribute where I can. I might be nearing 80 but I'm not done yet. Worst POTUS in my lifetime but I will outlast him, come hell or high water.

It's the least I can do.

Just posted to FB as GIFTED articles, two powerful op-ed essays. One from David Brooks (about moral and spiritual depravity AND two kinds of nationalism. The second from Nicholas Kristof on Rubio's lying about the consequences of USAID and the PEPFAR program in particular.

My middle initial at FB is used instead of my technically legal middle name there...they are public links. Don't need to be a friend to see what I post there. Happy reading!

Looks like now it’s not working in mine, either. I don’t have access to a free copy of the article but I changed the link, and here is the NYT piece:

Julia,

What an excellent, insightful, true post. We need to take our country back. I tried to access the link but couldn't. I'll try the link Linda provided.
