Heart & Soul Conversation #10…… Friday Funday w.Music by Kelley Hunt

Lots of music including a song for the times, “Simplify” by Kelley Hunt and a story about a gentleman and his first experience with Melissa Etheridge singing live online.

Also, homework for the weekend. How are you acting differently in these times? Do you notice others acting differently? Share your stories on the comments of the FB Live or here on this blog.

Have a good weekend~

On this morning’s Heart & Soul Conversation, I mentioned planting seeds and starting an indoor garden. I also mentioned going out to a store for seeds.

As soon as the words left my mouth, I knew they were wrong and I apologize. My mouth was moving faster than my brain….a condition my children will tell you is part of my DNA.

I will not be going to a store, or anywhere, unless absolutely necessary to sustain and survive. I ask everyone to do the same.

To beat this virus we have to stay apart. Anything less could cause the loss of someone or someones we love

Stay safe and be well.?

‘Awkward guy’: White House insiders fear Vance may do ‘more harm than good’ with speech



Hours before he is expected to speak at a Turning Point USA gathering in Mississippi, Vice President JD Vance did not get a vote of confidence from one White House insider.

According to a report from MSNBC’s Jake Traylor, Donald Trump's MAGA heir-apparent will attempt to step into the shoes of the late TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk by giving a speech and then taking questions at the SJB Pavilion on the University of Mississippi campus.

As Traylor wrote, Vance will attempt to mimic Kirk’s appearances on college campuses that came to an abrupt end during a visit to Utah Valley University.

The report notes that Vance’s performance will be “graded” against how Kirk was received, and there is some trepidation at the White House about whether he will pull it off.

With Traylor writing, “He will try to avoid the potential pitfalls that accompany an unpredictable, live college debate format that could lead to him seeming to diminish the office he now holds. And he will try to not be too obvious in his angling for a 2028 presidential bid,” one White House official attempted to downplay expectations by admitting, “There’s tons of risks.”

Vance has claimed, “I’m going to do exactly what Charlie did. {Kirk] would answer tough questions from the left and from the right, and so I want to do that, too,” which has MSNBC reporting, “White House officials and people close to Vance caution that simply playing Kirk may do more harm than good.”

”[Charlie] had unique skills,” one person admitted. “Vance can be an awkward guy on stage. He’s not going to be what Kirk was, he’s just different from that.”

According to the report, for Vance to advance his hopes of replacing Trump, he needs to get organizations like TPUSA on his side.

To political observers, "his proximity to Turning Point in recent weeks highlights his growing alliance with the powerhouse youth group amid early speculation of his own 2028 presidential run,” MSNBC is reporting.
