Recent Ray Hanania columns you might have missed on President Carter, Tom Cotton, Keith Pekau, Camelot, and JFK assassination

Orland Park Mayor Keith Pekau continues to throw trash and lies at the residents of his Suburban Chicagoland community in an eNewsletter that is filled with political exaggerations and distortions attacking anyone who challenges his failed administration.

The beleaguered Pekau is one of the most ridiculed and least respected mayors and politicians in Illinois surrounded by lapdog cronies and sycophants who feed on taxpayer funds.

Another column addresses the Late President Jimmy Carter and his achievements as president and in his post-presidential years. Carter was one of the most kind and humanitarian presidents America has ever had.

Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas is in the category of being one of the members of Congress to receive more than $1 million from the Pro-Israel lobby to pimp for Israel’s racist government and to defend it from war crimes and genocide accusations.

And the ugly catfight between Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg, the daughter of the assassinated President John F. Kennedy steps into the gutter through mud and salacious accusations against her cousin, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the son of the assassinated former Attorney General under JFK.

The mudslinging by Schlossberg is driven by far leftwing politics and has helped widen the political polarization in America, compromising our title as “leader of the Free World.” The ugly politics that Schlossberg fuels is representative of the garbage that we see in American politics today where politicians and their activist supporters will do anything to destroy the other side.

There is no middle ground, no centrists and no compromise left in our divided America and the aura of the Kennedy name and the “Camelot” mystic are dead.

Ironically it comes at a time when President Donald Trump orders the release of the last remaining secret files withheld by the government on the JFK Assassination. Maybe we will now know the truth about who killed President John F. Kennedy.

Each week, award-winning columnist and former  Chicago City Hall reporter Ray Hanania tackles these tough questions in his columns that are published on his website at https://Hanania.com.
