Go back in time to the early 1960s and explore the life and legacy of President John F. Kennedy at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library & Museum.

Set in a dramatic waterfront building, the national memorial features period White House settings and over two dozen multimedia exhibits chronicling Kennedy’s presidency. A short film, highlights like the Kennedy-Nixon debate, 1960 campaign memorabilia, and tributes to Jacqueline and other family members make this immersive museum and library a must-see destination — all with sweeping views of Boston and the Harbor Islands.

The Most Qualified US President JFK

As a staunch supporter of right-wing politics, particularly the Reform Party and figures like Nigel Farage, my natural inclination is to align with the Republican Party in the United States. Conservatism, free-market principles, and a strong national identity are values I hold dear, and the modern Republican Party, despite its internal fractures, still embodies many of these ideals. 

However, there is one undeniable truth, even for those of us on the right: John F. Kennedy was arguably the most qualified and capable president the United States has ever had.

Now, before my fellow conservatives scoff at the notion of praising a Democrat, let's take a step back and analyze JFK not through the lens of partisan loyalty, but through merit, leadership, and statesmanship.

A President with Real-World Experience

Unlike many modern politicians who build their careers in the bureaucratic echo chambers of Washington, JFK came from a background that genuinely prepared him for the highest office in the land. His time in the military, particularly as a naval officer during World War II, shaped his resilience, decision-making, and ability to lead under pressure. The famous PT-109 incident, where Kennedy saved his crew after their boat was sunk, showcased his courage and sense of duty qualities sorely lacking in many of today’s career politicians.

Compare this to the political dynasties we see today, where candidates emerge not because of their personal achievements but because of their family name or ideological appeal. JFK may have been born into privilege, but he proved himself through action, not just rhetoric.

A Pragmatist, Not an Ideologue

JFK was a Democrat, yes, but not in the radical progressive sense we see dominating the party today. He was staunchly anti-communist, supported a strong military, and pushed for tax cuts that spurred economic growth positions that would make many modern Republicans nod in agreement. In fact, his economic policies bear more resemblance to those of Ronald Reagan than to those of today’s left-wing Democrats.

His approach to the Cold War was another mark of his pragmatism. Instead of blindly capitulating to Soviet pressure or overreacting with reckless aggression, Kennedy took a calculated stance that balanced deterrence with diplomacy. His handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis remains one of the greatest demonstrations of presidential leadership in history.

A Leader Who Inspired a Nation

One of the greatest failings of modern political leaders, particularly in America, is their inability to unite and inspire their nation. Kennedy, however, had that rare ability to make people believe in something bigger than themselves. His speeches weren’t just empty words they were calls to action. “Ask not what your country can do for you ask what you can do for your country” is a sentiment that conservatives, especially those who champion personal responsibility and national pride, can respect.

Contrast this with the modern left’s obsession with victimhood and entitlement, and you see just how different JFK was from today’s Democrats. His vision was one of strength, optimism, and American exceptionalism values that, ironically, align more with the modern right than the radical left.

The Tragic Loss of Leadership

One can only wonder what America and indeed the world—would look like had Kennedy not been assassinated. Would he have continued to steer the country away from the bureaucratic stagnation that followed in the decades after? Would he have resisted the extreme leftward shift of his party? We will never know.

What is certain, however, is that John F. Kennedy was a leader of rare ability. His blend of real-world experience, economic pragmatism, and nationalistic spirit set him apart from most presidents before and after him.

So yes, while my allegiance lies firmly with conservative values and right-wing politics, I can recognize excellence when I see it. And in JFK, America had a leader who was truly qualified for the presidency a fact that even Republicans should acknowledge.

EARL ROSE coroner

EARL ROSE

JFK

23 September 1926 – 1 May 2012

            Earl Rose was an American pathologist who worked at Parkland Memorial Hospital. He was working there at the time of John F. Kennedy’s assassination. On 22 November 1963, Rose was working at the Hospital when Kennedy’s body arrived and was told that he was pronounced dead. He walked into the room where Jacqueline Kennedy and a priest where there who was reading Kennedy’s last rites. Rose was met by Secret Service agent Roy Kellerman and Kennedy’s personal doctor George Burkley who told Rose there was no time for an autopsy. They told him that Jacqueline wouldn’t leave Dallas without her husband, which was to be taken to the hospital. Rose objected and insisted that he had to perform a post-mortem examination before they removed his body. A heated exchange took place and Rose had to step aside and allowed them to take Kennedy’s body from the hospital before he was able to perform an autopsy. Rose was able to perform an autopsy on Dallas Police officer JD Tippit that afternoon who was with JFK at the time of his death.

            Rose later stated that if he and his staff were able to perform the post-mortem that many conspiracy theories today wouldn’t exist. He rejected the conspiracy theories of JFK assassination and supported that there was only one person who shot the President.

            Two days later, Earl Rose performed an autopsy on Lee Harvey Oswald, the man who had killed Kennedy. The man who killed Oswald, Jack Ruby died of cancer in 1967, and Rose performed an autopsy on him. He said he doesn’t know whether Ruby had the cancerous tumors at the time he shot Oswald.

John F. Kennedy’s Grandson Jack Schlossberg Joins Vogue as Political Correspondent Ahead of 2024 Election

John F. Kennedy’s grandson, Jack Schlossberg, has joined Vogue as a political correspondent, just months before the pivotal 2024 election. Schlossberg, 31, is the son of U.S. Ambassador to Australia Caroline Kennedy and the grandson of former President John F. Kennedy. With a JD and MBA from Harvard, Schlossberg brings a unique blend of legal and business acumen to his new role.

In an interview with Vogue, Schlossberg expressed his deep concern about the upcoming election, emphasizing the high stakes involved. He voiced particular worry about the implications of a potential Donald Trump reelection, urging younger generations to recognize the long-term consequences.

“It’s going to be a lot more work for younger people in the long run to have to clean that up than it is to show up and vote one day out of the year,” Schlossberg remarked. “I really am focused on creating a positive outcome where the good guys win. It’s going to be more complicated than that, but I’m still optimistic. Things don’t have to get way worse.”

Schlossberg, who regards his grandfather as his hero, has become increasingly engaged in the responsibilities tied to his family's legacy. He stated, “As I’ve grown up, I’ve become more involved in the official obligations that come with being part of my family. I’ve met a lot of politicians and become all the more optimistic about our future by doing that work.”

Last year, Schlossberg openly criticized his cousin Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s independent presidential campaign and threw his support behind Joe Biden’s reelection bid. He was vocal about his stance, stating, “These are the issues that matter. And if my cousin, Bobby Kennedy Jr., cared about any of them, he would support Joe Biden, too.”

In addition to his new role at Vogue, Schlossberg has been active on social media, particularly TikTok, where he discusses political issues and shares comedic sketches. He believes his audience appreciates his authenticity, saying, “I try to say things that I think are important. People can tell when people are being authentic and don’t have any other agenda.”

Schlossberg is keenly aware of the significance of the upcoming election and is committed to using his platform to inspire positive political engagement. “I think very deeply and critically about what I want to say. This election year is so important to me, and that’s why I’ve been trying to be out there more,” he explained. “This is a really pivotal moment in history, and it’s such an exciting time to be alive and to be able to vote. I want to get that vibe out there because there’s a lot of negative energy about politics, and I want to bring some positivity out there because this really matters.

Tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day ☘️ and I was recently invited back to The Boston Courier for an interview on the enduring fascination with Irishman Michael Collins and Irish American JFK. I appreciate the invitation to return!

"In one of your blog posts, you wrote: 'Feel free to stop me when this story sounds an awful lot like a prominent one from American history that I talk about often. A man of war becomes a man of peace . . . he challenges the status quo . . . he goes into hostile territory in an open vehicle . . . he doesn’t survive the trip . . .' This is a clear reference to John F. Kennedy, yes?

Indeed, it is."
