We are at a turning point, of sorts, in this country and Fears' words are wise counsel.

J. Rufus Fears has truly been an inspiration to me.

Well, J. Rufus Fears and Sally Fields.

OK, Fears, Sally Fields and Deborah Harry.

Excellent presentation by J. Rufus Fears.

Obama wasn’t even close to the accomplishments he was referring to, I pray President Trump will accomplish them and believe he very well may.

I was going to say that Trump should talk to the man about a job but then I read in the description below the video that he passed away just 18 days after this lecture was recorded.

America's loss.
