This breaking news reminds me of my childhood.

We had atom bomb drills in elementary school. We were instructed to get under our desks, put our heads between our knees, and kiss our ass goodbye.

But we survived the trauma. We got over it and moved on. We will survive this too, unless we give up.

That was March 31, 1968. We ended up with Nixon.

Here's to changing that narrative.

President Kamala Harris.

I'm all in!
