Louisiana Senator John Kennedy (no relation) has certainly made a name for himself by fully embracing his conservative credentials during his tenure in Congress. While he differs greatly from the other famous Kennedys, he has established himself as a "good old boy" with a quick wit that leaves some questioning his ultimate objectives. Kennedy is a highly educated man, which makes his political statements all the more puzzling. A recent example is his reference to Vice President Kamala Harris as a "ding-dong" in an interview. Kennedy spoke with...

Was Trump in the right place "at the wrong time" or vice versus will not change the fact that the bullet missed him and...

Have you ever tried cutting something with dull scissors? Or try cutting thick meat like steak with a butter knife? Despite all of the tugging or manipulation one may try, the wrong knife or scissors aren’t a bit of good. As a young girl, I would often spend the summers with my grandmother Rosie, who is a master cook. When her knives were dull, she would dig to find what looked to me like a giant needle. She would hold the handle of the “needle” and slide the knife up along the metal until she knew it was sharp enough. I couldn’t underst...
