    Well, good for these students.

    When I was an undergrad at Brown in the 70s, I participated in the student movement protesting South African apartheid, referenced in this Guardian article.

    Nothing major, but I think I ended up on an FBI watch list.

    Brown U. figured in Watergate. Howard Hunt and Chuck Colson were members of the Washington, D.C. chapter of Brown U. Alumni. Hunt persuaded Colson to hire him at the White House. Once there Hunt starting quietly working to drive Nixon from office, taking his orders from CIA Director Helms. When it was all over, both Colson and Hunt went to prison. I can imagine how Colson wished that he had never known Hunt.

    Paul Landis Revelation About Assassination Bullet

    A word about Secret Service agent Paul Landis. What does his account mean?
     
    When Landis helped Mrs. Kennedy out of the car at Parkland Hospital, he saw an intact bullet on the back seat where the top would [normally] be secured. Two large bullet fragments were found in the front seat of the limo, and slivers of lead fragments were recovered from an area below the jump seat where the governor’s wife, Nellie Connally, had been sitting. Landis claims he placed it on JFK’s gurney at Parkland Hospital. His disclosure came sixty years after the fact which is understandable as it raises many questions and places the “magic bullet” theory in doubt. The supposition was that the retrieved intact bullet had been discovered on Governor Connally’s gurney, not Kennedy’s. It was from this assumption, in part, that the Warren Commission reached its pivotal conclusion: The available evidence indicates that “the bullet found on the Governor’s stretcher”—the single bullet—“could have caused all his wounds.” Also, amid the blood and gore, Landis remembers, were two bullet fragments on the back seat, next to where Jackie had been sitting.
    Of the eight agents in the follow up car, code-named “Halfback,” none but 31-year-Clint Hill made any move to catch the president’s limo, and no one returned fire, even though some of them were equipped with automatic weapons. The media report that “Secret Service men immediately unslung their automatic weapons and pistols,” was an incorrect statement. Landis, the agent stationed on the right side of the follow-up vehicle, remained frozen and never relinquished his hold on the door grip. Landis might just as well have been somewhere else that afternoon. These were supposedly men honed to a matchless edge, but on that bright clear sunny day, there was near total lack of response. Had the Secret Service men reacted as they should have...the sniper crouching behind that window would certainly not have been able to get off a second or third shot, as the Commission says he did.”
    Landis' statement from his book, that he was momentarily suffering from PTSD, is unacceptable

    My wife and I returned home from Galveston and our Yucatan coastal cruise last night.  We had a good time, despite some stormy weather on the way back to Galveston.

    One of the strangest things about this cruise was that my only access to the "news" all week was briefly watching MSNBC and Fox News on the cable television in our cabin, before dinner.

    I was truly shocked to see how limited-- and distorted-- the coverage of the "news" is on these two cable channels, because I haven't watched televised "news" for years.

    Both cable programs consisted mainly of lengthy opinion segments/interviews that were entirely focused on a single daily topic.  There was very little information, and a great deal of opinion.

    Fox focused mainly on border hysteria, with video footage and lengthy diatribes about the U.S. being invaded and destroyed by illegal immigrants-- and the importance of impeaching Mayorkas and voting Biden out of office.  I was aghast.  The overarching theme was, "Vote for Trump."

    MSNBC was more reality-based, but was similarly focused on lengthy interviews about a single subject-- e.g., Trump's $83.3 million defamation ruling, and, later in the week, Biden's targeted strikes in Syria, Iraq, and Yemen.  The overarching theme was, "Vote for Biden."

     

     

     

    The best morning show on MSNBC is Morning Joe with Joe Scarborough weekdays who covers a number of topics from 5 a.m. to 9 a.m. CT. 

    The best afternoon show on MSNBC is hosted by Nicole Wallace from 3 to 5 pm CT weekdays. She has a variety of guests, all of whom are credible and covers a number of topics,

    I always watch these shows.

    Here's what I believe the plot against Biden could very likely be:

    1. Sometime in the last 6-9 months, Iran/Russia slowly sent a terrorist cell one-by-one into the U.S. through the southern border.

    2. Next, draw Biden into a nasty conflict in the Middle East.

    3. Escalatory back and forth between the U.S. and Iran. 

    4. GOP was told to complain non-stop about the border, and predict a terror attack.

    5. Terror attack then occurs over the summer, GOP blames Biden for it because border wasn't secure enough.

    Obviously I pray this doesn't happen, but this is the type of op that would be planned by a desperate man who faces losing power if Biden is re-elected.

     

    Re: #5 above about a terror attack, this article sounds the alarm:

    Oh no! The NFL has been rigged and weaponized!
    Damn Democrats!
