No wonder they are obsessed with you, you are having way too much fun!

Right? The jealousy is oozing from their veins. Imagine being a woman not thrilled to watch another female journalist succeed.

I mean, people get jealous. To be that outwardly and obviously bothered? Yikes. Just. YIKES.

I’m jealous! 😜 but I’m over here rooting for you and cheering you on!

And I can’t recall the last time I picked up a vanity, fair, or even looked at their Instagram lol

Exposed a new writer to your audience. That one means a lot to yours truly.

Loved this recap and screw the naysayers!!

Keep doing the shadow work and reading the Bible. I started seriously studying religion and asking the questions and after a visit from the devil one night, I am now a true believer. Scared the crap out of me and I hope to never have an experience like that again, but I know God is with me and evil wants no part of me.

Evil definitely still wants a part of us. Keep reading your bible, definitely a repellent for the evil one.🤗

Ok this is actually impossible. You are 5, maybe 10 people. Superwoman for sure. Also never so clear you’ll need Gods guidance and protection as you carry on. Seek him first. Anyway - like many of the political commentators and writers of our moment - when you seek Truth you find Him.

Jealousy is flattery

Oh Jess! Envy is totally an acknowledgment of your accomplishments. Also, I’m certain I am not the only one who talks to God about you! Love you! Let me transcribe your files and cut you some slack!

Atta girl! Washed up VF can take a seat.

JaneB's avatar

Oh wow, VF is just as obsessed with you as the rest of us. Keep up the good work JRK!

So glad I stuck around. It just keeps getting better.

Bettina Belter's avatar

Jessica… thank you! I love how you write and what you cover. I love that you are reading the Bible and want to be at the “after party!” I want you there too!! Keep at it. I know it’s hard work… but it’s worth it.

What type of prideful ignorance does it take to think they’re the only ones allowed to cover anything political or Hollywood? Who deems VF the ones in charge? Last I checked, we still live in a free country.

It’s jealousy, Jess. 100%. VF journalists and their journalism schooling has gotten them nothing. A degree does not magically bestow talent. Some folks are just born with it.

Thanks for always sharing your talent with us.

I love having a little bit of an inside peek at how you keep all the balls in the air at the same time!

I was once a television production major who wanted to go into news production. I left that in 2004 when I realized that I wouldn’t be able to think as I wanted and would have to be more conforming (and would have to move to LA and be very underpaid). I am thrilled that you get to have it all, and live vicariously through you and your journalism in a way. They hate and I appreciate.

Jessica Reed Kraus's avatar

Interesting. You saw it way back then.

Lyndsays's avatar

I guess you could say I was blessed with the gift of discernment.

Lynn's avatar

Adored this. 👏❤️

Our Jess is the real deal! VF, you're not reading the room and you've become irrelevant (this from a previous multi-decade subscriber.) Keep it up, HIH!
