Unvaccinated people are flocking to the Titanic Museum in Branson, Missouri, where masks and vaccinations are not required, and spending hours marveling at the sight of the death and destruction caused by not having enough lifeboats.
I kid you not.
The infection rate in Branson, MO is running at 20%.
One's neck is sore at all the shaking of one's head.

Trump’s new Bitcoin
Trump-loving Republicans snatch up 'magacoins' -- and quickly fall victim to data breach
By Travis Gettys July 22, 2021
https://www.rawstory.com/magacoins/
“More than 1,000 people -- including Republican leaders and conservative media personalities -- have already signed up for the pro-Donald Trump cryptocurrency magacoin.
Poor security on a website associated with the cryptocurrency exposed users' personal information, including passwords and IP addresses, and revealed that the vast majority of the magacoin produced has gone to its self-described creator Marc Zelinka, a Trump-loving consultant, and a Super PAC associated with him, reported The Guardian. “

If Trump not only watched what 10's of millions of Americans were watching on national TV in real time from the very beginning of the terrifying violent siege and for the next two hours after and purposely refused to take any action to stop it for that time until much damage and injury and even killing occurred ( and allegedly even ignored pleas to take quelling action sooner by his own family?) what do you call this action?
Joe,
I wrote this on February 15th in this thread:
Involuntary manslaughter is defined as the unintentional death of an individual as a result of another person's negligent actions.
In the United States, all states define negligent homicide by statute, often defining the offense as involuntary manslaughter.[1]
https://reischlawfirm.com/criminally-negligent-homicide-vs-manslaughter-whats-difference/
“The law states that you can be charged with criminally negligent homicide if your criminally negligent behavior caused the death of another person. On the other hand, the law states that you can be charged with manslaughter if your reckless behavior caused the death of another person. Therefore, the difference between these two crimes is the type of behavior that caused the victim’s death.
Criminal Negligence vs. Reckless Behavior
Criminal negligence is legally defined as the failure to realize that your behavior is so dangerous that it could kill someone. In order to prove you were criminally negligent, the prosecution must be able to show that a reasonable person in your situation would have realized that their behavior was potentially dangerous.
In the eyes of the law, you are reckless when you act in a manner that puts others at risk even though you are aware that your behavior could seriously harm or kill another person.
Steve Thomas
To put it simply, the difference between these two legal definitions comes down to risk awareness. A person who is criminally negligent did not realize his behavior was dangerous, even though he should have, whereas a reckless person knew his behavior was dangerous, but ignored the risks.”

How America unleashed hell's agent in its own backyard: After Agent Orange left a trail of birth defects in Vietnam, a new film lays bare how the US sprayed it back home with devastating consequences
-
Herbicide known as 2,4,5-T is the highly toxic main ingredient of Agent Orange
-
The U.S. military stopped using it in 1971, but it was used in other parts of the US

It left a trail of appalling birth defects, just as it had when it was used in Vietnam
By Tom Leonard In New York For The Daily Mail 22 July 2021
“When Carol Van Strum moved to Five Rivers, Oregon, in 1974, she thought she had found the perfect rural idyll.
Surrounded by National Forest, her four young children could grow up close to nature. They loved fishing and playing by the river, fascinated by the little ‘dipper’ birds that sat on the rocks.
Then one day the children fell sick, choking and gasping.
Down at the river, Carol found a scene of devastation — dead ducklings, crayfish and trout.
The cause seemed fairly obvious: a U.S. Forestry Service helicopter had been flying overhead the day before, spraying something over the land.
Nobody knew what it was but, ‘a lot of people assumed, “Well it’s the government doing it, it must be OK,” ’ says Carol. ‘We called the fire service and they said: “Oh no, it’s perfectly safe.” ’ But it wasn’t.
The chopper was spraying a herbicide known as 2,4,5-T — the highly toxic main ingredient of Agent Orange, the notorious chemical defoliant used to blanket swathes of South-East Asia during the Vietnam War.”

Norway's beach handball team fined for wearing shorts instead of bikini bottoms
“Beach Handball’s rules stipulate that female players must wear tops and bikini bottoms. Men wear tank tops and shorts.”

Pamela,
I think, but cannot prove, that Marina's whirlwind romance and marriage to Lee Harvey Oswald, and the rapid approval for her to leave Russia were designed to get her to America in general, and Fort Worth, specifically as quickly as possible.. The year's long delay was not the Russians' fault, It was the American State Department's. I don't know if she was designed to get information from someone, or to give it.

Donald Trump's latest dangerous vaccine pronouncement
Analysis by Chris Cillizza, Mon July 19, 2021
https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/19/politics/donald-trump-covid-19-vaccines/index.html
"Joe Biden kept talking about how good of a job he's doing on the distribution of the Vaccine that was developed by Operation Warp Speed or, quite simply, the Trump Administration," the 45th president said in a statement released via his Save America PAC on Sunday. "He's not doing well at all. He's way behind schedule, and people are refusing to take the Vaccine because they don't trust his Administration, they don't trust the Election results, and they certainly don't trust the Fake News, which is refusing to tell the Truth."

Now, the afternoon of 11,22,1963, when a marked Dallas Police car came up to and stopped in front of her residence yard and honked twice ( tit tit ), you might think that because of the Earth shaking, city stopping news of JFK's shooting Ms. Roberts might have been a little more motivated to go out and meet these two officers in their stopped car.
Joe,
The corner of Zangs Blvd. and N.Beckley had a stoplight.
Have you ever pulled up behind someone and the light turned green and they didn't start up right away and pull through the intersection and you tapped your horn a couple of times to let them know that the light had turned green and they could move on out?
I'm not so sure that isn't what was going on at Zangs and Beckley.
If a patrol car had been cruising Oak Cliff, it’s logical to assume it would have been one of the patrol cars assigned to the Southwest Area Substation. Joseph McBride has traced the activities of several of these officers.
Some of these names will be familiar to you: M.N. McDonald, T.R. Gregory, Billy Anglin, William Mentzel, J.D. Tippit, Calvin Owens, Roy Walker, etc.
https://www.history-matters.com/archive/jfk/wc/wcvols/wh19/pdf/WH19_Batchelor_Ex_5002.pdf
page 126 (p. 10 of the pdf file).
It looks like patrolmen who were assigned badge numbers in the 70’s and 80’s and low 90’s were assigned to the Southwest Area Subdivision. (M.N. McDonald, Ronald Nelson, J.D. Tippit, Henry Horn, etc.) I do not know how many of these patrol cars were one-man cars, or if any were two-man cars.
From the Dispatch Tapes:
At 12:30 Officer 91 radioed in that they were “clear”.
http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/dpdtapes/
91 (Ptm. W.D. Mentzel and Ptm. J.W. Courson)
91 clear.
At 12:34 Patrolman Henry Horn #76 also radioed in that he was “clear”.
76 (Ptm. H.H. Horn)
76 clear.
At 12:38 Sgt. H.F. Davis #80, radioed in that he was “clear”

At 12:41, Patrolman J.L Angell reported that he was at Corinth and Eigth.
81 (Ptm. J.L. Angell)
Corinth and Eighth.
Eigth Street in Dallas in very close to Neely, but Corinth and 8th St is over in the south part of Dallas.
Patrolman, W.P. Parker radioed in that he was clear on East Jefferson, but he was not assigned to the Southwest subdivision. William P. Parker was assigned to the Second Platoon in the Northeast Division
see p. 125 (page 8 of Batchelor’s Exhibit 5002)

87's going north on Marsalis at R.L. Thornton.
At 12:45, Patrolmen Walter Smith, #77, J. L. Angell, #81, and Billy Anglin, #79 were all reporting in that they were on Corinth. There must have been some kind of disturbance in the 1400 block.

Trump's tantrum over British Open offers another window into his soullessness
Ray Hartmann July 18, 2021
https://www.rawstory.com/trump-tantrum-british-open-turnberry/
- Donald J. Trump -
"As almost all of the great players, sportscasters, and golf aficionados know, the greatest site and course of all for The Open is Turnberry, in Scotland, It is truly a magical place, the players want to be there, and at some point in time the players will be there," Trump continued. "But this course was not chosen for The Open because they consider a wonderful person, and many-time Club Champion, named Donald J. Trump, to be too controversial—this is, of course, a false reputation caused mainly by the Fake News Media. It is a shame that the phenomenal Turnberry Golf links, the best in the World, sits empty during Open Championships, while far lesser courses are on display. Oh well, life proceeds forward! Someday The Open will be back at Turnberry,"
“Rick Reilly wrote the book on this subject -- Commander in Cheat: How Golf Explains Trump -- in which he brilliantly lays out how Trump's lying and cheating at golf inform who he is.
One of Reilly's prime exhibits was Trump's repeated claim that he has won 18 golf club championships, a bogus claim the author blows up in painstaking detail, one lie at a time. Turns out the actual number is zero, Trump's recent email notwithstanding.
As Reilly noted, "So here was Trump caterwauling about 18 golf championships that were faker than Cheez Whiz...”

Lee seemed to think he was taking a Russian bride, which would give him greater credentials as he switched from side-to-side. But he soon realized Marina was something more than that. It was at that point he began to separate himself from her.

I think we can see evidence of that in a letter Lee wrote to his mother in October of 1961.
(He dated the letter 1959, but I think he misdated it.) (Either that, or something else was weirdly going on).

Trump's GOP enablers know just what's coming
Opinion by Julian Zelizer, CNN Political Analyst Thu July 15, 2021
“The way that Trump acted as president fit into well-established patterns of who he was during his days as a controversial, media savvy real estate mogul in New York and as a reality show star who used his platform to, for example, question the birthplace of the nation's first African American president (a claim he later retracted.) Unlike the outsider Jimmy Carter in 1976, for instance, Trump was a well-known commodity. All someone had to do was listen to him demonstrate his values in appearances on the Howard Stern Show or read the New York Post to understand what "The Donald" was all about.
Of course, now the record is even more extensive. There is the entire history of his presidency, during which he was quite transparent about the rules of the office that he thought to be irrelevant to his personal success, and the lengths to which he was willing to go in political combat.”
“Yet there is enough solid reporting already, combined with the public record, to make clear his views about presidential power. If Trump decides to run again, and Republicans coalesce around him -- with unshakeable and obsequious loyalty -- as the head of their establishment, there shouldn't be room for them to claim how taken aback they are about the things he might be willing to do.
A vote for Trump is a vote for potentially unbridled presidential power. It is a conscious decision by a party that claims to champion small government to embolden a Commander-in-Chief who is eager to use that power -- without checks and without balances.”

Over and above discussions of the photographic evidence; for me, the issue of the backyard photos is clouded by what I believe was a clumsy and ultimately, unsuccessful effort on the part of the Dallas Police to disguise the fact that Lee Harvey was interviewed by the Dallas Police at 12:35 PM on Saturday, November 23rd; and that during that interview was asked about the rifle photos.
I believe that this interview took place at least four hours before the Detectives returned from their second search at 2515 W. 5th St. in Irving.
You can find a fuller explanation of my analysis of the 12:35 interview on my web site at:
and on the Education Forum in the thread entitled,
“Fritz ADDED the part about the photos afterward...” started by David Joseph on 11/28/2011.
http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/topic/18440-fritz-added-the-part-about-the-photos-afterward/
There is also a version of the Interrogation of Oswald in CD 81 AG Texas Letter with attachments dated 07 Jan 1964 beginning on page 452. Covers the Interrogation of Oswald and takes up 13 pages. On page 460, Fritz references the 12:35 interview in the same language as is in the DPD Archives “with Inspector Kelley and some of the other officers and myself”.
He asks Oswald about the different places he lived in an attempt to find out where the picture was made of him holding a rifle.

Mr. BALL. Do you remember what was said?
Mr. ROSE. Do I remember what was said?
Mr. BALL. That this took place in Captain Fritz' office?
Mr. ROSE. In Captain Fritz' office--yes. Well, the occasion was--I got back to the office and I took this small picture of Oswald holding the rifle, and left the rest of them with the Captain and I took one up to the I.D. bureau and had them to make me an enlargement of it, and they made an almost 8" by 10" enlargement of this picture and I brought it back to the captain and Oswald was brought in and the captain showed him this picture, and Oswald apparently got pretty upset when he saw the picture and at first he said, "Well, that's just a fake, because somebody has superimposed my face on that picture." Then, the captain said, "Well, is that you face on the picture?" And he said, "I won't even admit that. That is not even my face." I remember that part of it distinctly.Guy Rose went back to 2515 W. 5th St. in Irving on Saturday, November 23rd. and searched the garage.
Detectives Moore, Rose, Adamcik and Richard Stovall were with him. Stovall told the WC that they were for 2-2 1/2 hours at the most, but be also said that they didn’t leave Irving until 5:30 or so.

"Interposition"
Keep your eye out for people using that term.
Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association, or CSPOA.
“When we look at the Office of the Sheriff, combined with the historical powers held by that office, he stands as the upholder, defender, protector and servant to the liberties of the people within the county.
In addition to upholding the law, the sheriff is also charged with upholding the supreme law, the Constitution.
The law enforcement powers held by the sheriff supersede those of any agent, officer, elected official or employee from any level of government when in the jurisdiction of the county.
The vertical separation of powers in the Constitution makes it clear that the power of the sheriff even supersedes the powers of the President.
Furthermore, it is this responsibility that grants a Sheriff the Constitutional authority to check and balance all levels of government within the jurisdiction of the County.”
“The CSPOA promotes the view that the sheriff is the highest authority in a given county, and as such has the power to provide a "check and balance" against "any state or federal agency that may infringe on the natural rights of the people" The CSPOA website sums up the position with one word: "interposition."
"We are witnessing great deeds of protection, service and interposition across America by courageous sheriffs who only want to serve the people who elected them," the website says.
Interposition has traditionally been claimed as a right of a state to cancel out actions of the federal government that it deems unconstitutional. Sen. John Calhoun of South Carolina cited interposition in the 1830s to preserve slavery in the South, and southern states turned to it in the 1950s in an attempt to avoid compliance with the Brown v. Board of Education decision to desegregate schools. The Supreme Court rejected interposition in the 1958 Cooper v. Aaron ruling, which invoked Marbury vs. Madison to assert judicial supremacy.”
BIG VALLEY: Rumbling of insurrection continues in California's far-right MAGA world where the Proud Boys are revered
by Jordan Green, Staff Reporter July 10, 2021
https://www.rawstory.com/california-insurrection/
“In May, Aguilar and Thornton spoke at an event billed as a "Patriotic Social Gathering" in rural Lander County, with a population less than 6,000, in Nevada, to celebrate the county joining the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association, or CSPOA. Previously, in February, the Lander County Board of Commissioners had unanimously passed a resolution removing the county from Gov. Steve Sisolak's COVID emergency declaration.
In addition to Richard Mack, a former sheriff in Graham County, Ariz. who founded and leads CSPOA, other special guests at the county-sponsored event included Nevada gubernatorial candidate Joey Gilbert and Dr. Simone Gold.”
“The CSPOA has also caught the attention of at least one Proud Boy leader in the Central Valley.
Sean Adam Kuykendall, president of the Central Valley chapter…
Kuykendall said he wanted to propose "a group that is taking the Constitution and the Bill of Rights into their own hands and implementing it as a broad swipe across every elected official's agenda, which should be that way — and this is the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association."”

The Chilling Message of Trump’s Embrace of Ashli Babbitt Martyrdom
January 6 is now a heroic uprising for the movement.
By Jonathan Chait
“All the political momentum is on Trump’s side. He has slowly turned January 6 from a black mark that threatened to expunge him from Republican politics, to a regrettable episode that his allies preferred to leave behind, to a glorious uprising behind which he could rally his adherents.
Martyrs are the most potent symbols for a radical movement. The John Birch Society commemorated an American missionary killed by Chinese communists in 1945 (the first death of the Cold War, the society’s followers believed). Horst Wessel, a German storm trooper killed by communists in 1930, inspired an eponymous song that became a poopoo anthem.
The anti-anti-Trump right has dismissed the insurrection as overblown, a protest march gone bad, perhaps ill-considered but never posing any serious threat to the republic. The far right’s highlighting of Babbitt’s death sends a different message: The insurrection was good. Babbitt’s effort to penetrate the defensive barrier was brave, and the stopping of her charge a crime.
By throwing himself behind this message, Trump is endorsing the most radical interpretation of his presidency. January 6 was not a minor misstep after a successful era, as fans like Mike Pence and Lindsey Graham now say. It was the heroic culmination of a righteous uprising.“
Chilling indeed.
