John Kerry’s 76 foot yacht is not the issue
Secretary of State John Kerry found himself on the defensive over the July 4th weekend. While Egyptians were fighting for their very lives and freedom, Kerry was spotted on his 76 foot yacht living the high life. The State Department initially denied he was on his yacht, backtracking only when clear evidence surfaced that he was.

A plane from South Korea crashed at the San Francisco airport, killing two people and wounding others.
I have nothing else to add. Some days it seems the world was destined to burn. I pray I am wrong.
I also pray for the victims of the SFO tragedy. After all, soothing platitudes from some columnist will not save a single life.
Enough already. We need some good news desperately.
Hug your loved ones.
This concludes San Francisco Plane Crash Saturday.
