Again, Dick, I respectfully disagree. First, JFK, the Kennedys, the Democrats and Chicago crime boss Sam Giancana rigged the 1960 elections in Chicago and West Virginia, and stole the election from Nixon. JFK's girlfriend Susan Campbell Exner was also Giancana's girlfriend, and she acted as their "go between." Any doubts, Google her.

Second, I have zero doubts that Dems (and I began as one) rigged some of the 2020 elections. When I left the U.S. Senate, I concluded that the Democrats were "evil" but smart, while the Republicans were "Neanderthals" and dumb. The Dems were smart enough to rig key elections, and the Republicans were too stupid to stop them.

Third, if I were Trump, I would not have conceded to Biden for a nanosecond. Also, It is unlikely that Biden will finished one term as President, if that much. The Dems know this, which is why they are so determined to destroy Trump. Failing to do so, they may be destroyed; and again, they are not stupid.

Thank you, Dick, for your comments. Yes, I understand that. I have probably watched more than 50 percent of his rallies (e.g., out of curiosity, as much as anything else, to see if he would falter), from beginning to end; and he has never once advocated violence or anything approaching it.

Years ago now, I was at a reunion of college friends; and a friend of mine's wife was there, whom I had never met before. Everything was very pleasant until I mentioned Trump, and that I had voted for him. Her mood changed instantly and dramatically; and in all of my years in politics in Washington, D.C. and elsewhere, I had never experienced anything like it before. Frankly, I was stunned.

I pointed out that I was an Independent, etc., etc., but it did not phase her one iota. It was as if I was a Nazi or some other abhorrent creature.

Newt captured many of my views in his article, which is consistent with my other articles. I am interested in Trump's policies; and I have spent enough time in Washington to realize that most there have "feet of clay" personally. And yes, I began as a Democrat, but became an Independent when I left the U.S. Senate.

Lastly, a close relative of mine cannot stomach Trump's "style," but agrees with his policies, and I understand. We don't discuss him anymore. :-)

The VA seems to be improving, quite dramatically. I have a friend who is a retired doctor, and has essentially no hearing in one ear. He is 92, and a multimillionaire, with homes in two states. He is a veteran; and the VA paid for a new hearing device costing thousands of dollars, which he just received. He says there were excellent, and much better than local doctors whom he consulted.

I agree completely.
