Farewell, June Lockhart

Farewell, June Lockhart. Lockhart appeared on three television series Lassie, Lost in Space, and she also portrayed Dr. Janet Craig, after joining the cast of the CBS sitcom Petticoat Junction, after Bea Benederet passed away from lung cancer. She appeared on ABC-TV's General Hospital in the 1980s and 90s. She and five of her Lost in Space colleagues made cameo appearances in the 1998 Lost in Space movie. Her last role was in the 2021 Lost in Space remake (voice only).

She was well-known for portraying intelligent, compassionate, strong, loving women.

June was a two-time Emmy Award nominee and a Tony Award winner. Her career spanned nearly 90 years. Lockhart was one of the last surviving actors from the Golden Age of Hollywood. She debuted on stage at the age of 8. Her film debut was with her parents, Gene Lockhart and Kathleen Lockhart in a filmed version of A Christmas Carol.

She is survived by her daughters Anne, June Elizabeth, and her four grandchildren. June was 100 years old and passed from natural causes.

Where is Congressional oversight?

He LIED! Imagine that?

First, he said his 200 million dollar ballroom would not impact the existing East Wing building. He said it was being funded by donations, not tax dollars. Should we believe any of that? I do not.

Then, this week the demolition began.

Now, we learn the entire East Wing is to be demolished! Now, the cost of the ballroom is expected to be 300 million dollars.

We all know government spending is never what they claim it will be.

Did the Donald approach Congress? Did he consult with the National Trust for Historic Preservation? Did he consult with historians? Did he ever, perhaps most importantly, consult with the American people?

Where is government oversight? Where is transparency?

The question remains--why? The Donald says people have clamored for 150 years that we need an extravagant White House ballroom. Funny, I've not once in my years heard of a movement decrying this. This is nothing short of a dictator wannabe flexing his muscles.

The current East Wing will be gone in a matter of days.

If this does not scream "I do not intend to leave office--not ever," I do not know what is.

I anxiously look forward to the "No Kings 3" rallies.
