Last May they were talking about releasing the files on Kennedy. What ever happened to that?

Khrushchev did remove the missiles due to the loose cannons looking to take control of them.
However, I suspect that the removal of the Jupiter missiles were offered as a face saving move to Khrushchev. Why? JFK was looking to have them decommissioned. The Jupiter and Thor missiles were only intended as stopgaps until the reliability of the first generation ICBMs were established. The Thors and Jupiters were fixed site, above ground, and used liquid oxygen. The LOX system by nature has its maintenance and reliability issues. Besides, the Soviets knew where the Jupiters in Italy were, the base was overflown by a reconnaissance MiG.
Right about this time, the George Washington class and Ethan Allen class SSBNs were being commissioned. So the fixed location IRBMs got replaced with a ballistic missile sub located wherever. So the loss of the Jupiter missiles were really no loss.
This nation has been under siege by the left for over 100 years. Why should they stop now?
I just finished watching Bobby Kennedy for President on Netflix last night. I thought it was really good- I think Bobby would have made a better President then JFK. It talks at end of all the evidence destroyed by LA Police that would have shown that a Policeman at the elbow of Bobby in the kitchen was the killer with the head shot behind the ear.
I know the Kennedy’s cheated on the wives, got away with a murder, etc. But for me, Bobby was the better of the brothers and it was amazing how he was talking about we can’t keep throwing free food, housing and money to the minorities as it has proven to makes their lives worse off then better. Wow 50 some years later and his message is what is still the same for minorities.
It really showed the hatred Johnson had for Bobby. Johnson was an hateful person all around and I really believe he and/or Mafia had him killed.
Bkmk
“Johnson was an hateful person all around”
VIVA - EL GREAT SOCIETY ??
Cubans are annoying. Still chafing for that nuclear war that didn’t happen. And even after they got even with JFK in Dallas.
They couldn’t let Bobby become president because he would have dug into who murdered his brother
CBS asked Ronald Reagan the night of the California Primary, when Bobby was shot, about what he thought of the campaign, and Reagan said that Bobby was “a little to the Right of all of us in this campaign in California”.
Yes, another reason he had to die. He went after Mob as well when AG.
Yes, I think he was very much so. Remember he was on Mcarthy’s side for a while; believed our country and government had been infiltrated with communists.
So why did the liberals love Bobby?
And the Kennedy brothers/CIA backed SECOND Bay of Pigs type invasion/operation of Cuba, (Code name: ‘C-day’), 100% set to go and scheduled for 12/1/63, was shut down and canceled immediately following JFK’s assassination on 12/22/63. Who knows how that one would have turned out.
FR doesn’t have post editing, or I’d PM you to change 12/22/63 to 11/22/63, which is implied by the context.
Good catch. I don’t know how my old brain and fingers typed 12/22/63 in!!! (I can’t blame an ‘adult beverage’ excuse on it either as sometimes has been the case in the past!)

Another democrat aiding the enemy.
Nothing has changed before or since.
