Our Secretary of War [Crimes] won’t be invited to watch the movie Nuremberg at the White House theater because our criminal President bulldozed it the way he’s bulldozed any shred of morality or ethics left in our national leadership. In the meantime: Disobey Unlawful Orders. Always.

JFK was murdered on this date in 1963. In 5 years his brother and MLK, Jr would be, too. Since then one party has turned to hate and the other to focus-group slide decks in response. Since this was first published years ago my sons have grown. But the question remains.
