John David Duggar: Breaking Courtship Rules AGAIN? In Front of His Sisters?! While FLYING A PLANE?!?
In the two months since the world learned of John David Duggar and Abbie Burnett’s courtship, the couple has received far more scrutiny than the average Duggar couple.
This is partially due to the fact that at 28, John David is much older than the average first-relationship fundie.
But there are also much more intriguing reasons that fans are so fixated on JD and Abbie.
Throughout his time in the spotlight, John David has been regarded as one of the most conservative Duggars … which is really saying something.
The accepted narrative pertaining to John David has always been that he’s as much of a go-getter as his workaholic dad, and his lifestyle prevented him from finding the right partner.
In addition to pitching in with the family businesses, John David is a volunteer firefighter, a deputy with his local sheriff’s department, and a licensed pilot.
And it’s that last vocation that’s really caught the attention of Duggar Nation this week.
The photo above shows John David flying the friendly skies with Abbie as his trusty co-pilot.
Throughout their relationship, John David and Abbie have broken Duggar courtship rules on multiple occasions, and this latest pic seems to show the couple once again being more physical than his family generally allows.
As usual, some of the more prudish Counting On fans have given John David flak for violating his family’s code of conduct … and those folks really freaked out after laying eyes on the photo below:
Yes, since the photos were posted so close together that at first glance it seems that John David was allowing his fiance to get handsy (by Duggar standards) right in front of his sisters.
The youngest Duggar daughters have formed a singing group called The Duggar Girls, and they’re currently on tour promoting their debut album.
“The girls were flying with John-David while they were working on #HappyHeart,” the above pic is captioned on the Duggars Facebook page.
Some fans were incensed … until they learned the pics were actually taken several weeks apart.
Thankfully, for the most part, Duggar obsessives were effusive with praise, applauding John David for taking his sisters on tour.
“What can’t that guy do? Those kids are all so diversified,” one fan commented, according to In Touch Weekly.
“I have read so much criticism about this family. How many of you have a plane and can fly it?” wrote another.
“Hope none of the Duggars got motion sickness! I know they are all prone to it.”
Yeah, heathen! Where’s your plane?!
So it turns out all the fuss about John David tossing the rulebook out the window in front of his sisters was a whole lot of nothing.
But you can bet all eyes will still be on JDD and Abbie.
There have been rumors that the courtship rules don’t apply to John David at all, and for reasons we can’t quite understand, people have a big problem with that.
Let us know if you figure it out.

John McCain Takes Final Jab at Donald Trump from the Grave
On Saturday afternoon, over a year since he was diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer, John McCain died at the age of 81.
In the wake of his passing, notes of sorrow, admiration and consolation poured in from across the political spectrum, as perhaps no Senator has ever been more widely respected than McCain, a former prisoner of war.
But there was one person who was noticably absent from this wave of heartelt mourning…
… President Donald Trump.
The Commander-in-Chief reportedly nixed a proposal by The White House to issue a lengthy statement after McCain’s death, one that ran through his impressive list of accomplishments and referred to him as a “hero.”
(Trump has famously quipped on more than one occasion that McCain is not a hero because he was got captured in battle.)
Instead, the President simply Tweeted the following:
“My deepest sympathies and respect go out to the family of Senator John McCain. Our hearts and prayers are with you!”
Some might say this was enough; others might say Trump didn’t mention a single word about the man himself.
At various times throughout the campaign trail over the past several months, Trump had also taken shots at McCain for casting the vote last summer that denied Republicans the chance to repeal Obamacare.
He encouraged crowds to boo a veteran and a politician who was dying of cancer.
On Monday morning, however, McCain got the final word in when it comes to this ongoing feud with the President.
In a moving tribute to America and its citizens, which was read to the public close friend Rick Davis, McCain pretty clearly took a number of jabs at everything Trump stands for.
Take this section, for instance:
We weaken [America] when we hide behind walls, rather than tear them down, when we doubt the power of our ideals rather than trust them to be the great force for change they have always been
Or this section:
We weaken our greatness when we confuse our patriotism with tribal rivalries that have sown resentment and hatred and violence in all the corners of the globe.
These seems like obvious statements, we know.
It says something about Trump and his administration that nearly EVERYone who had read these excerpts interpret them as a direct rebuke of the White House.
Davis foughts back tears as he read the final words of McCain.
And, out of respect for the late Senator and all he accomplished, we are simply going to transcribe them below.
May John McCain rest in peace.
My fellow Americans, whom I have gratefully served for sixty years, and especially my fellow Arizonans
Thank you for the privilege of serving you and for the rewarding life that service in uniform and in public office has allowed me to lead. I have tried to serve our country honorably. I have made mistakes, but I hope my love for America will be weighed favorably against them.
I have often observed that I am the luckiest person on earth. I feel that way even now as I prepare for the end of my life. I have loved my life, all of it. I have had experiences, adventures and friendships enough for ten satisfying lives, and I am so thankful.
Like most people, I have regrets. But I would not trade a day of my life, in good or bad times, for the best day of anyone else’s.
I owe that satisfaction to the love of my family. No man ever had a more loving wife or children he was prouder of than I am of mine. And I owe it to America.
To be connected to America’s causes — liberty, equal justice, respect for the dignity of all people — brings happiness more sublime than life’s fleeting pleasures.
Our identities and sense of worth are not circumscribed but enlarged by serving good causes bigger than ourselves.
‘Fellow Americans’ — that association has meant more to me than any other. I lived and died a proud American. We are citizens of the world’s greatest republic, a nation of ideals, not blood and soil.
We are blessed and are a blessing to humanity when we uphold and advance those ideals at home and in the world. We have helped liberate more people from tyranny and poverty than ever before in history.
We have acquired great wealth and power in the process.
We weaken our greatness when we confuse our patriotism with tribal rivalries that have sown resentment and hatred and violence in all the corners of the globe.
We weaken it when we hide behind walls, rather than tear them down, when we doubt the power of our ideals, rather than trust them to be the great force for change they have always been
We are three-hundred-and-twenty-five million opinionated, vociferous individuals. We argue and compete and sometimes even vilify each other in our raucous public debates.
But we have always had so much more in common with each other than in disagreement. If only we remember that and give each other the benefit of the presumption that we all love our country we will get through these challenging times.
We will come through them stronger than before. We always do.
Ten years ago, I had the privilege to concede defeat in the election for president. I want to end my farewell to you with the heartfelt faith in Americans that I felt so powerfully that evening.
I feel it powerfully still.
Do not despair of our present difficulties but believe always in the promise and greatness of America, because nothing is inevitable here. Americans never quit.
We never surrender. We never hide from history. We make history.
Farewell, fellow Americans. God bless you, and God bless America.
