In the Rogan interview RFK choked back tears twice: when Rogan asked him how he could persist, like Sisyphus, with all the opposition over the years and he said his trials were nothing compared to those of parents with vaccine injured children; and then again when he described his Dad’s funeral train. RFK, Jr. has faced profound life challenges. He has struggled, and he knows what it means to suffer. I see a man who has deep empathy and humility... and I really like him. He’s not presidential, he’s human.

I completely agree. None of us knew him before, but he's letting us get to know him lately and it's quite something to see all his dimensions, his human-ness. Why don't they ever want Presidents to be human? I would be so thrilled to have RFK Jr. as our President. I would stop saying I need to move to Spain or Mexico or Lapland...

I have listened to RFK Jr. Since way back when he had his radio show ‘Ring of Fire’. Then at the beginning of the Scamdemic, in March 2020 I found Children’s Health Defense. I have seen him speak twice in person at two CHD fundraisers I attended in the Fall of 2020 & 2021 in Marin County in CA. He’s the ‘real deal’.

RFK, Jr. scanned across my radar when he had the well-publicized struggle with his newborn in the hospital. As I recall, he wanted to take the baby out for a moment to breathe fresh air and this simple action caused a complete meltdown and triggered all the reporters and hospital staff.. I was astonished and appalled at the time--the message seemed clear--it's not really your child. He was castigated as a criminal for caring for his own child. It was for me an aha moment and I knew that the establishment didn't actually have our best interests in mind.

In The Good Earth, by Pearl Buck, there’s a birthing scene that everyone working in maternity should read.

Maybe they don't want Presidents to be human because the "people" to whom Presidents report prefer their own kind and/or find humans difficult to deal with?

This made me laugh, I've watched it more than once today. Imagine having someone in the White House who has a sense of humor about himself, who is this down to earth and quietly funny and reasonable. I haven't been able to comfortably watch any of the presidents speaking since probably Bill Clinton, not without cringing, waiting for the next gaffe, grimacing at the fakeness and bad teleprompter reading, etc . On a personal level I would just love for this to be the man on the news clips, and to be able to listen to the president speaking without embarrassment, for once.

I LOVE imagining that. Can we all imagine it into being? Imagination is powerful. Ask Jon Rappaport. Imagination and logic.

After I saw Celia's piece on the Rogan debate that won't happen, I quickly knocked out a column - where my main point is made in my first sentence.

Regarding the Great Kennedy vs. Hotez Debate that won't happen ... If you are scared Dr. Hotez (and you are), say you're scared.

You are the best! I love your transparency and willingness to lay it all out there. So appreciated... when you are mad, sad, excited, hopeful, confused, bitter, joyful... you express it all so eloquently. Love it all.

This father thanks you!! ❤️❤️❤️

Seat belts are just another way the PTB are trying to kill us....you are trapped inside of a car with an airbag that is designed to make it nearly impossible to escape a wrecked car and the cars are made with the cheapest possible materials with no bumpers or other safety equipment that used to be standard on cars in the 1950's and 1960's...remember still unibody construction??

correction: STEEL unibody construction....aluminum is light but folds like , well, aluminum foil

Celia, Life is held up by miracles. They happen all over, and sometimes all the time. Life on the physical plane (plain) could not exist without carefully selected aspects of support that hold up the material. Case in point?––the miracle of an airplane wing. If you analyze the mathematical "proof" that its curved shape can lift 500+ people plus crew with ease so we can safely float around to engage with our playground from the air––doesn't exist. Airplane wings shouldn't fly. But they do...

Ha ha. Just like why California hasn't had the Big One yet. The collective faith of all its residents that 'it will never happen'....

Why Doesn't RFK Jr. Wear A Seatbelt?

Because his seatbelt is CHRIST.

Perhaps he remembers how his Uncle was held in place by a back brace that fateful day. Had he not been wearing that brace, he might have slumped over and not been a continuing easy target. And history might have been much different.

Oh no.I never knew this.

It was one of those stories/factoids that burned into my mind. While Dallek is a mixed bag, for example, his claim that "Oswald Did It", other parts of his article ring true. Here's the key excerpt:

"On November 22, 1963, Kennedy was, as always, wearing a corsetlike back brace as he rode through Dallas. Oswald’s first bullet struck him in the back of the neck. Were it not for the back brace, which held him erect, the second, fatal shot to the head might not have found its mark."
