The 28th Amendment to the Constitution has been proposed to allow for the disbanding of the electoral college and the election of the President and Vice President by popular vote. Ratification by the states seems assured. While seemingly a non-issue, the amendment also allows for the NIP (National Initiative Plan) where voters can petition for actual laws that will be passed by popular vote and bypass a stagnant Congress. What kind of challenges might this bring?
To make matters worse, the woman who was the “mole” that provided information to the Iranians on the readiness of Israel’s nuclear capability, has disappeared. Where will she turn up and what effect will she have?
Combine all of this with the fact that Rose Kennedy Schlossberg is single and lonely. Even Presidents are in need of love and companionship. Yet, when in such a position of power, can you trust someone enough to give yourself?

The Only Easy Day was Yesterday
The Only Easy Day was Yesterday is the unofficial motto of the United States Navy SEAL. This story is fiction but it is built on a foundation of fact. It is the story of Ashley Morgan Jamison and how she earned the Navy SEAL Triton and became the first woman in American history to earn the right to be called a Navy SEAL.
Navy SEALs are not born that way. They work hard to develop the physical strength to make it happen, and they must have a mindset that allows them to be mentally tough.
Ashley is challenged at each stage of her life, but she meets all challenges with a mental toughness that very few possess. This is a story that just doesn’t happen overnight. It is a story that is developed over 23 years of a woman’s life. Every year presents a new challenge and Ashley thrives on challenges.
Ashley’s story is fiction but it is not far from reality. Women are now allowed to apply to become United States Navy SEALs but they must pass every test that men must pass. There are no qualification differences. Some women have tried but, as of this writing, no woman has yet to succeed.
It is my hope that somewhere, sometime a woman will read this story, and based on Ashley’s experiences, the reader will learn, apply and succeed in pulling off something that no woman has yet to accomplish.
I would like nothing better than to see this fiction story become a reality.
