Let me see if I have this straight. The Secret Service or FBI or whoever that is had a shooter or shooters on a roof to take out any shooter on a roof, but the shooter had free use of the roof that he shot from.

Exactly. Trump back in power will be Joe Biden's legacy. I hope Biden lives long enough to appreciate it. Or maybe Biden will say the election was stolen. Trump's retribution! But let's look at the bright side. There's still hope. Despite Trump's first-round knockout of Biden in the debate, I understand Biden said something about a rematch in September. If there is one, look for Biden to float like a butterfly and sting like a bee!

Biden says that he believes with all his heart and soul that he can do the job. But even if he can (for four more years?), that's not the point. Biden is like a stalker. He just can't understand that he is not wanted.

But the fun is just starting. Biden plans to "debate" again in September. Plenty of time to possibly recover from this, then, wham! another first-round KO.

And it looks like his wife Jill is no help at all. I guess she likes living in the White House.

I think Biden is already showing he's too stubborn or egotistical to step down. He's just like Trump in that respect, it's himself above country. So do they force an incumbent out? Drag him out of the convention kicking (well, I think he's too feeble to kick) and screaming? That will certainly get the TV ratings.

I thought the best line in the debate was when Trump said, "I don't know what he just said and I don't think he does either." One MAGA false claim leading up to the debate was laid to rest, though. Biden was not high on drugs. (At least not the right ones.)

On Parkland doctors waiting to finish off JFK if necessary, whatever happened to the Hippocratic Oath?

Being a Floridian, what can I say when my state is represented by Matt Gaetz, Rick Scott, Little Mario Rubio, and (as CNN closed captions would have it) Rhonda Santos? If Florida sinks any lower it'll be underwater. I

There ain't no sex in heaven?

It's never too late to make money with a book. I'm trying to thnk of a good one to write myself. Not about JFK, just some kind of dirt in general. I visit the Drudge Report now and then just to see what interesting news links there are to click on. I've noticed that he depends a lot on the Daily Mail, for stories that no one else in the world is covering.

I quit going to the Daily Mail a long time ago because it would make my computer freeze up. Which is ironic, because that Callahan material sounds like some real hot reading. But I'm not taking a chance on the Daily Mail to read it. My computer would either freeze up or melt.

To add to the anguish of Iran's Shiite majority, the helicopter crashed into the Sunni side of the mountain.

It's now being reported that Iran believes that the mountain into which the helicopter crashed was put there by Israel. No such mountain exists on Iranian maps. "Leave it to the Mossad," says the Ayatalloh, "to make a mountain out of molehill."

On Raisi's helicopter crash in Iran, the closed captions on CNN say that it was "a racist helicopter."

A worm ate part of RFK Jr.'s brain. So says RFK Jr. himself. The worm died from the experience. So it's possible that a third party candidate with a worm-eaten brain could tip the 2024 election to Donald Trump. This has all the makings of a great horror movie. R.F.K. Jr. Says Doctors Found a Dead Worm in His Brain

Well, of course they're not afraid to report the government's version of the case, which they've done over and over. What they're deathly afraid of is to report the truth, even if that means nothing more than a second gunman at least. But no, it was that little Commie rat Oswald, alone. How many times do they have to tell us?

There's nothing old worth reporting? How often has the old stuff been reported? It's old stuff here, but what does that mean out there? How much is new about the stuff the series has covered for four seasons? Is there something new about the Titanic? Oh, but which is more important to this country, the Titanic or Dallas?

I see that CNN is running an original HLN documentary series on “How It Really Happened,” covering some of the most notorious crimes and mysteries of our time. Now why do you suppose this series could go on for four seasons without even touching on how the JFK assassination, arguably the most notorious crime of the 20th century, really happened? That should have been the first episode of Season 1, don’t you think? They should at least include an episode explaining why the JFK assassination is not included in "How It Really Happened." The episode could be titled, "Do You Think We're Crazy?" https://www.cnn.com/shows/how-it-really-happened

I thought that God quit talking directly to people after Old Testament times. But apparently he's still at it. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/woman-says-god-told-her-eclipse-shooting-spree-police_n_66147707e4b0743395c2f12d

Believe me, I'm not taking sides, I just want to point out a fact. That photo of Rita Palma standing beside Looney Bird Powell means nothing because we don't know if it's real or not. With photoshopping and AI today we can't know if anything's real. And just wait till tomorrow! For all we know, even the Zapruder film, going all the way back to 1963, was tampered with. (There's been a rumor to that effect.)

I kept thinking all day today about that line spoken by a hen-pecked husband in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum: "Never fall in love during a total eclipse."

Not according to any poll that I've seen. They're running neck and neck. And now with RFK Jr., the black professor (is that what he is?) whose name escapes me, and the Stein woman (what does she do besides run for president?) determined to take votes away, I don't see much basis for optimism. Everyone knows what Trump is and too many people don't care. In fact, two or three more Trump indictments or even just one conviction and Biden might as well concede.

Try to look at it philosophically. In a free and fair election, people get what they deserve in those whom they elect. If this country wants a dictator (and it certainly acts like it does), it will get one. A lot of people won't like it, but the majority (or rather the Electoral College) rules. That's how our democracy works, while it lasts. And, to paraphrase Sandy, it was good while it lasted. When you're as old as I am, you can be more philosophical, knowing that you won't have to live through what's coming. (I look at climate change the same way.) I at least have the comfort of knowing that I lived in the best of times.

I'll buy that. I just wish someone, anyone, in the mainstream would say it. Maybe I've missed it. I'll say this anyway. Netanyahu is really a nice guy.
