Re: Chanel Rion
Grandma and I may very well adopt that young lady.
Hair’s a bit darker than most but otherwise she’d fit right in at The Homestead.
She certainly has a spine.

Chanel Rion is an American author, political illustrator, and White House Political Correspondent for One America News Network. Born in Texas and grew up in Missouri, Texas, and Florida, and overseas—in France and South Korea.
Chanel’s upbringing required keeping her schooling at home. Except for her early schooling in France and debate camps at conservative America’s famous Patrick Henry College, near Washington D.C., neither she nor her brother or sister ever set foot in a school until university.
“First, we moved to South Korea, a few miles from the DMZ, where I began the first of the many years it took to learn to speak my mother’s native Korean. There, I could look out across the fences into and across the DMZ, past soldiers and guns, at the worse enslavement and torture of human beings on God’s earth at this insanity of the total socialist state—at what was the home of a then 14-year-old boy named Kim Jung Un, who was playing somewhere inside this prison camp country; who would soon grow into a madman who would one day die in there when he tried to blow up America and the world, killing millions, including my Korean loved ones in Seoul, just 30 miles from the DMZ. But I didn’t know then. It would have been a lot for a child with already much to think about—to think about.”
After South Korea, Chanel and her family moved into an ancient strap and gear crossed grain-grinding stone watermill in France, a three-story affair, where farmers in oxcarts and pickups actually brought grain by for grinding. “When winter came,” Chanel recalls, “the miller quit and we moved to an unheated stone maison in the hills of a communist farming village in the mountain region of France where we bought goat cheese and baguettes every day from a monastery on the way home from school and where dad again swore we were never returning to the U.S.”...part of second article..
