Here's some New Years perspective to start your 2023. Barbara Walters, Anne Frank, & Dr. MLK, Jr. were all born in 1929. Yet while we were just with Ms. Walters days ago, those two icons are portrayed as ancient history. Remember, "The past is never dead. It's not even past.”

Republicans who are complaining about the President's unfair characterization of MAGA Republicans could help their argument by, for instance, denouncing their party leader's plan to pardon all the traitors who beat the hell of police officers last January.
