Thanks for the links.

I read an article yesterday about how Jackie Kennedy developed a close relationship with the widow of the other man killed by Oswald that day, Dallas Police Officer J. D. Tippit.

Very interesting.

The movie “Years of Lightning, Day of Drums” was produced by Bruce Herschensohn, who would become a conservative pundit and Senate candidate in California.

A major flaw in the film is its portrayal of President Eisenhower’s space program as a series of failures. In fact, Eisenhower’s space program was a spectacular success in which successful space shots far outnumbered failures.

I have a black colleague who said to me not long ago "We've had only one black president and they try to stop him at every turn."

I was tempted to say "We've had only one Irish Catholic president and they blew his f@$%ing brains out," but I didn't.

I'm an Irish Catholic American.

Years of Lightning, Day of Drums is an excellent film that captures JFK’s vitality as well as the crucial/harrowing events of his presidency, plus his State funeral. Its historic footage alone is priceless to any student of those times.

There’s a half hour [PBS] video of Bruce Herschensohn, the film’s director -who also composed the stirring musical score- explaining why he, a Republican, felt compelled to make this film. It’s worth watching. (Sorry, could not find a video link.)

Nov 22nd used to be a very observed date.

That’s all over now. I wonder how many people today know much of anything about it.

And even fewer know that Oswald tried to assassinate General Edwin Walker (Ret.) on April 10, 1963. Took a shot by firing into a window of Walker’s home and just missed.

The FBI discovered that the attempt was made on Walker by Oswald during the Kennedy investigation. Marina corroborated the story. Walker was a right-winger, Oswald called him a Hitler-like fascist.

Walker was connected with a Wanted Poster for Kennedy done as a political statement. It accuses Kennedy of treason and the charges read much like what has been written about Obama, just substitute Muslim for Communist.

Walker and Oswald both hated Kennedy, but Walker never took a shot at him. He did have to resign and retire after being found guilty of violating the Hatch Act in 1961. He passed out John Birch Society writings to soldiers under his command.

Little snippets of history lost to most.

JFK was murdered by a communist not unlike the onez in todays Democrat party.

And then we have:

Lee Harvey Oswald’s little green book shows JFK wasn't the real target

IOW, Oswald was a bum shot.
