may well give that same medal to some or all of the January 6 insurrectionists. It just goes to show how vastly different the two parties' priorities and ideals are at this time in history.

I was surprised how bad Ralph Lauren looked, although he is 85. Hillary looked beautiful, with a quiet dignity. And Biden did a good job.
