  1. - Donald Trump on Truth Social - "This Easter, Let's Make America Pray Again" Make? So now, we've gone from allowing prayer to forced prayer? Steve Thomas
  2. So,help me understand this. Overnight, Trump went to one of the 500 richest people in the world. He owns 60% of the stock in Truth Social. If he gets a waiver and can sell early, or if he has to wait six months, he starts selling off his stock, which will create a huge sell off and the stock will plunge in value. Thousands of people stand to lose their shirts. The company will probably go bankrupt. Last year the company had $3 mIllion in revenue and $49 million in losses. It has never earned a profit. Could this stock speculation lead to a stock market crash? Can Trump and the small handful of inside cronies be charged with insider trading? Are they artificially propping up the stock of a worthless company? I think I read that one of the owners of the Digital Aquisitions Group is also one of the owners of TikTok, or at least, one of its major investors. TikTok' parent company is ByteDance. ByteDance is a privately-held global company, with roughly 60 percent owned by global institutional investors (such as Blackrock, General Atlantic, and Susquehanna International Group. The CEO of the Susquehanna International Group is a man by the name of Jeffrey S. Yass. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Yass#:~:text=Jeffrey S. Yass (born 1956,the richest man in Pennsylvania.&text=He is the co-founder,a major investor in TikTok. "Jeffrey S. Yass (born 1956) is an American billionaire businessman. According to Forbes, Yass had a net worth of $28.5 billion in 2023. Yass is the richest man in Pennsylvania. He is the co-founder and managing director of the Philadelphia-based Susquehanna International Group (SIG) and a major investor in TikTok." "As of March 2024, he is the largest donor in the 2024 US election cycle, having donated $46 million to Republican groups and campaigns, primarily to rivals of Donald Trump.[2] After Yass and Trump met in March 2024, Trump went from supporting a ban on TikTok to opposing a ban.[2] At the same time, Yass's SIG bought a substantial share in Trump's company Truth Social, providing Trump with a massive influx of money at a time when he faced mountainous legal expenses.[3]" Are TikTok and Truth Social about to become the main sources of news in the social media world?

  3. Insane levels of sacrilege': Trump shocks by hawking $60 MAGA Bibles By Travis Gettys 03/26/24 https://www.rawstory.com/trump-bible/ "Happy Holy Week! Let’s Make America Pray Again," Trump posted on Truth Social. "As we lead into Good Friday and Easter, I encourage you to get a copy of the God Bless The USA Bible." "Social media users were shocked and appalled that Donald Trump was hawking patriotic-themed Bibles named after country singer Lee Greenwood." "The ex-president posted a link to a website selling the Bibles for $59.99, with a four-to-six week wait for deliveries, and the frequently asked questions make clear that these are the only Bibles endorsed by either Trump or Greenwood." "The Greenwood-themed Bibles include a handwritten chorus to “God Bless The USA” and copies of the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence and the Pledge of Allegiance." Steve Thomas
  4. "I approached Oswald then and, out of the hearing of the others except perhaps one of Captain Fritz's men, said that as a Secret Service agent; … we were therefore very anxious to talk with him to make certain that the correct story was developing as it related to the assassination.” Oswald said he'd be glad to discuss this once he got an attorney". Thomas Kelley. Warren Report. Appendix XI. Reports Relating to the Interrogation of Lee Harvey Oswald at the Dallas Police Department p. 630 https://www.maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=946#relPageId=654&tab=page Steve Thomas
  5. Robert, It looks like there are several places where you can research a company's stock prices, if you know their stock market ticket symbol. One is : https://www.historicalstockprice.com/ltv-historical-stock-prices/ (You have to register for a free account) Another is: INVESTOPEDIA https://www.historicalstockprice.com/ltv-historical-stock-prices/ (Looks promising. You can enter a range of dates.) Steve Thomas
  6. Louisiana hopes to reduce crime by letting teens conceal-carry guns by Natalie Dressed Mar 24, 2024 https://boingboing.net/2024/03/24/louisianans-will-be-able-to-conceal-carry-guns-without-a-permit-training.html “Governor Jeff Landry was just elected in October, but he's already come barreling out of the courts, guns blazing. Or in this case, guns tucked under a coat or in a waistband or in a shoe, for all we know. This new legislation grants any gun owner over the age of 18 the legal right to conceal carry firearms without a permit or training. This mean that no live-fire training is required for the teenager who can now legally carry a hidden gun on him in public—while being unable to drink at a bar or rent a car.” “Lawmakers also passed Miguez's Senate Bill 2, which grants immunity from civil liability to anyone with a concealed-carry permit who shoots and injures or kills a "perpetrator."”. What the f*** is a "perpetrator"? Remind me never to travel through the State of Louisiana. Steve Thomas
  7. Robert, From Roy Truly's WC testimony: Mr. BELIN. You have been superintendent of the Texas School Book Depository. And do you have any other positions with the company at this time? Mr. TRULY. I am a director--I am a member of the board of directors of the Texas School Book Depository. Mr. BELIN. Is that a state organization or a private company? Mr. TRULY. It is a private corporation. “Corsicana Daily Sun” from Corsicana, Texas March 31, 1970 Page 10 https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/41268447/ “The building (the Texas School Book Depository) is owned by the Dallas Trust Corp. The majority stockholder of the firm, Col. D. Harold Byrd, 69, has decided to liquidate some of his holdings.” 1961 Dallas City Directory page 387 https://texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth806907/m1/723/?q=Byrd Steve Thomas
  8. Tom, I think I might know where Hill was getting info about Oswald having bushy brown hair. I think it came from Roy Truly. Gerald Hill WC testimony https://www.jfk-assassination.net/russ/testimony/hill_gl.htm "Mr. HILL. We were standing there with Inspector Sawyer and Assistant District Attorney Bill Alexander came up to us, and we had been standing there for a minute when we heard the strange voice on the police radio that said something to the effect that, if I remember right, either the first call that came out said that they were in the 400 block of East Jefferson, and that an officer had been shot, and the voice on the radio, whoever it was, said he thought he was dead. At this point Sergeant Owens said something to the effect that this would have been one of his men. And prior, on our way to the location from the city hall, a description had been broadcast of a possible suspect in the assassination. With the description, as I remember, it was a white male, 5'8" 160 pounds, wearing a jacket, a light shirt, dark trousers, and sort of bushy brown hair." That was not the description that was broadcast. Roy Truly's WC testimony: "Representative FORD. In your description of Oswald to Captain Fritz, did you describe the kind of clothes that Oswald had on that day? Mr. TRULY. I don't know, sir. No, sir; I just told him his name and where he lived and his telephone number and his age, as 23, and I said 5 feet, 9, about 150 pounds, light brown hair--whatever I picked up off the description there. I did not try to depend on my memory to describe him. I just put down what was on this application blank. That's the reason I called Mr. Aiken, because I did not want to mislead anybody as to a description. I might call a man brown-halted, and he might be blonde." The only problem is, is that Oswald's TSBD application does not say what color his hair is: http://history-matters.com/archive/jfk/wc/wcvols/wh17/html/WH_Vol17_0118b.htm Steve Thomas
  9. Gerald Hill WC testimony https://www.jfk-assassination.net/russ/testimony/hill_gl.htm "Mr. HILL. We were standing there with Inspector Sawyer and Assistant District Attorney Bill Alexander came up to us, and we had been standing there for a minute when we heard the strange voice on the police radio that said something to the effect that, if I remember right, either the first call that came out said that they were in the 400 block of East Jefferson, and that an officer had been shot, and the voice on the radio, whoever it was, said he thought he was dead. At this point Sergeant Owens said something to the effect that this would have been one of his men. And prior, on our way to the location from the city hall, a description had been broadcast of a possible suspect in the assassination. With the description, as I remember, it was a white male, 5'8" 160 pounds, wearing a jacket, a light shirt, dark trousers, and sort of bushy brown hair." That was not the description that was broadcast. Go back and re-read the descriptions I provided from 12:44 and 12:45. No clothing is ever mentioned. "We went on to the scene of the shooting where we found a squad car parked against the right or the south curb on 10th Street, with a pool of blood on the left-hand side of it near the side of the car. Tippit had already been removed. The first man that came up to me, he said, "The man that shot him was a white male about 5'10", weighing 160 to 170 pounds, had on a Jacket and a pair of dark trousers, and brown bushy hair."" Mr. BELIN. Now, let me interrupt you here, sergeant. Do you remember the name of the person that gave you the description? Mr. HILL. No. I turned him over to Poe, and I didn't even get his name. At 1:22, we have this description from Officer 85: https://www.jfk-assassination.net/dpdtapes/tapes2.htm "We have a description on this suspect over here on Jefferson. Last seen about 300 block of East Jefferson. He's a white male, about thirty, five eight, (siren) black hair, slender, wearing white jacket, a white shirt and dark slacks. (Sirens" At 1:24, Dispatch sends out this alert: Wanted for investigation for assault to murder on a police officer: A white male; approximately thirty; about five foot eight; slender build; has black hair; a white jacket; a white shirt and dark trousers. Where does Hill keep getting this "bushy brown hair business"? Steve Thomas
  10. - Eric Trump 03/24/24 - “Every single person, when I came to them saying, hey, can I get a half-billion-dollar bond?" "Maria, they were laughing. They were laughing. Top executives of the largest surety companies had never seen anything of this size. And what, they're going to start seizing assets if he can't put up something that's not available in the United States?"” Poor little Eric, he just can’t keep his mouth shut. Steve Thomas
  11. At 12;37 on Channel 2 of the Dallas Police Dispatch Tapes; https://www.jfk-assassination.net/dpdtapes/ 137 (Patrolman E.D. Brewer) We have a man here who says he saw him pull the weapon back through the window off of the second floor from the southeast corner of that depository building Dispatcher All right, do you have the building covered off? 137 No, about 3/4 of a block away from there. Dispatcher All right, pull on down there. 137 10-4. I'll leave these witnesses here. E.D. Brewer was a solo motorcyclist in rhe Traffic Division's 7::00 A.M to 3:00 P.M. shift, along with Hargis, Haygood, Baker, Martin and Jackson, etc. https://maryferrell.org/showDoc.html?docId=1136#relPageId=152 Baker allegedly encountered Oswald on the second floor. Was there going to be an early attempt to place Oswald and the shooting from the second floor? What policeman walks off and leaves a witness, or witnesses to a homicide? First there is one man who saw the rifle, who the becomes witnesses (plural). Steve Thomas
  12. Robert, Baker's Affidavit matches perfectly with radio dispatches of 12:44 and 12:45. My question is, did Baker encounter someone before, or after these dispatches went out; or did he later write his affidavit to match the description contained in the dispatches? Or, like you postulate, was the affidavit faked to match the dispatches - even down to his age. https://www.jfk-assassination.net/dpdtapes/ Channel 2 Dispatcher Yes, 12:44 p.m. 9 (Inspector J.H. Sawyer) The type of weapon looked like a 30-30 rifle or some type of Winchester. Dispatcher 9, it was a rifle? 9 A rifle, yes. Dispatcher 9, any clothing description? 9 About 30, 5'10", 165 pounds. Channel 1 12:45 Dispatcher Attention Elm and Houston is reported to be an unknown white male, all squads. Attention all squads. The suspect in the shooting at approximately thirty, slender build, height five feet ten inches, weight one hundred sixty-five pounds, reported to be armed with what is thought to be a 30 caliber rifle. Attention all squads. The suspect from Elm and Houston is reported to be an unknown white male about thirty, slender build, five feet ten inches tall, one hundred sixty-five pounds, armed with what is thought to be a 30-30 rifle. No further description at this time, or information. 12:45. Steve Thomas
  13. -Donald Trump 03/22/24- "Through hard work, talent, and luck, I currently have almost five hundred million dollars in cash, a substantial amount of which I intended to use in my campaign for president," Trump posted on Truth Social. - Donald Trump, Jr. 03/22/24- 'You guys are scraping': MSNBC's Mika mocks Don Jr begging for 'just $5' to save Trump Ummm... Steve Thomas
  14. Donald Trump wants 1 million Patriots to send him $400 apiece. Somebody pointed out how nauseating it will be to have 1 million people running around wearing those ugly-ass sneakers. Steve Thomas
  15. I burst out laughing. Donald Trump can't come up with the money to pay his $464 million fraud conviction. He went to a whole bunch of insurance companies to see if they would loan him the money, and use his property as collateral. Turns out the insurance companies won't loan him the money unless the properties get an appraisal. Seems like they don't want to just take Trump's word for it on how much his property is worth. That's funny. 😀 Steve Thomas
