“I read Vance’s ‘HillBilly Elegy’”.

I recall when JDV was starting to get some notice in politics a few years ago, people who knew him let it be known that he did quite a bit of tapdancing around the truth in that book. Quite a bit of self- serving fiction.

I never read it. I didn’t know him. So I can’t say. Just the scuttlebutt I hear.

I am going to follow up on your “scuttlebutt”. I have been too trusting in outward appearances over the years, and now am having a hard time trusting anyone, or institution, or profession.

We are certainly living in interesting times.

I have been poking around, as you mentioned that you has heard “scuttlebutt”, and I thought it might be a good idea to check my assumptions.

And - look at what came up on The Conservative Treehouse?

I am hoping others help me out here, to determine if this is important info, legitimate, or an effort to derail. The fog is so think, it is hard to know who is being truthful, and who is playing games.
