    Yeah, you? Pretty sure others here are up to speed on Not The Bee. You’re just making yourself look silly now. Maybe you could LOLOLOL some more to magnify your ‘point’.

    Name calling, tsk, tsk. Even when you’re wrong, you double down.

    From Not The Bee:

    We're glad you're here

    Not the Bee is a humor-based news, opinion, and entertainment site from the creators of The Babylon Bee and Disrn. Like the name suggests, it'll feature some absurd and hilarious (but real) news that seems like it should definitely be satire.

    It'll also have opinions, videos, personalities, memes, viral stuff, and more.

    We will write like we talk. It will be infused with humor. We will have a lot of fun doing it. It will probably become your favorite site on Planet Earth (along with The Babylon Bee and Disrn, of course).

    Naw, a boozy, powerful, cutthroat dad with lots of political connections at home and abroad with an obsession of having a son become the "first Catholic president".

    The war hero presentation was just the mask for the man.

    Yikes. JFK has been overblown into some kind of great president only because he had his head blown off.

    Despite being a Democrat, JFK was a great President. Without his strength & resolve in the Cuban missile crisis the country could have been lost. The question is who was really responsible & why was he a victim of ‘wetworks’. RFK Jr has been trying to enlighten which could put a target on yet another Kennedy back. Seems those who wanted to weaken our country are still very active. Do not be deceived.

    Even though I like Vivek, I don't think he can beat the Don. JFK will be forgotten as a has been president who was a womanizer galore.

    I just read Vivic name rhymes with “cake” so “Vivake”?

    He also just referred to Nikki Haily by her full Indian name, disregarding her married name and the fact “Nikki” is a common middle name in India.

    Im starting to like him less and less.

    peace to you

    "When a politician comes out of absolutely nowhere and rockets in the polls (cof-cof-OBAMA-cof) EVERYBODY should be asking questions about his life, and who or what is backing and guiding him."

    Actually, that sounds more like Trump. A rich businessman who is not a politician. Obama was a politician. And his position in the polls is close to (if not right on) Trump's at this stage in the campaign.

    The main difference is he, unlike Trump, was not born into wealth.
