No “Deceit and Betrayal”

Today’s blog, which responds to Carter’s post “Deceit and Betrayal,” was written by a thoughtful reader who prefers not to be named. I agree with their opinion, and I can’t say it any better.

A Fallen World

Trump slammed Kennedy. Biden slammed Kennedy. Kennedy told how a worm ate a piece of his brain, added he’d recovered.

Deceit and Betrayal
