        Thank you Prof. Beschloss. JFK took a big step with that Civil Rights speech, but it was so simple and elegant and JFK delivered it with such conviction that we heard it in our hearts. God bless him.

        Again, today, we are confronted with a moral issue, opposing the fascist called Trump.

        Now the fight is not for just Civil Rights, but basic Human Rights. I have lived to see what I considered a great country as 9 year old crumble in just a little over 500 Days.

        Two great JFK speeches in two days. The day before was the “Strategy for Peace” commencement address at American University.

        Hear that GOP? "...as clear as the American Constitution". Stop shredding it; start holding steadfast to it; don't let tRump sell it out any further.

        In just a few minutes our dear leader will meet The Dear Leader of DPRK. In secret. With potential for positive outcomes and equal potential to get us all blown up.
