I don't think Kamala can beat Trump. As a California AG, one term Senator and VP she's not real inspirational from the little I've heard her speak. All the money can't overcome this at this point, no matter the VP. The party needs an open convention, to find a younger new somewhat fresh face to do that.
I think that is Newsome. Some national name recognition, the title of Governor of California, twice plus a recall a winner, 62%, 62%, 59%. Him with Cory Booker as an established senator from NJ from the east might win.
Kamala not being the nominee would alienate the black vote, understandably. Booker would mitigate that somewhat, fwiw, as trite as that sounds, Love you Cory. It's hard to find this full video anymore, one must be verry specific. But there is something happening in here, beyond Sunset Strip.

I hope, faintly, that some voters remember this and vote against going backwards.

I think this link might be useful in this topic.

I anticipate members wanting to discuss who this will or should be. Which is why I'm starting this thread and moving it immediately to Political Discussions. If anyone decides to start such a thread or attempts to discuss the subject in other posts in the JFK assassination debate don't be surprised when they are moved as well.

Hey, this must be a new milestone in Education Forum devolution-- in lieu of scholarly books, articles, and complete English sentences, we now have Rumble commentaries by UFC fighters!

Well, what should we expect. Hulk Hogan ripping his shirt off at the RNC?

When I first started reading this book, I thought it was a good introduction to the assassination. But it grew into more. The "chapters" are short some only 2-3 pages, a couple at 10, and 12 but they are concise and intense, full of relevant information, some new to me. There are 52 of them.
The autopsy report was the most detailed description I've ever seen of it which he describes in layman terms. He was livid over the shortness of its length. My Lecture at the Acadamy of Forensic Sciences was particularly interesting too. As well as Tracking JFK's Brain, The Lunch with Marina and several others. Well worth the read imho.

Mainstream Republican Conservatives have been horrified at what they saw at the Convention this week. They were bombarded by vendors selling cheap Donald Trump trinkets and merchandise combined with a religious revival tent meeting.
There were no elder statements there. There was no Mitt Romney, or George Bush, or Mike Pence. They were replaced by Don and Eric Trump and Kimberley Guilfoyle and Hulk Hogan.
The Republican Party of Dwight D. Eisenhower was replaced by Donald Trump, Jr. screaming at the 17 year old boys to, "Stay the hell away from my daughter!"
To me, that epiomizes everything about this last week.

I don't believe it.
I think Marina said that because the alternative story has her looking bad.
IDK Sandy. I know you've debated with several others on this in depth before. I don't remember all the details. As I alluded to, I thought it was pretty well settled he didn't beat her. So, this surprised me too.
Technically not an interview maybe, but a long lunch widely ranging conversation. I was impressed the way Wecht described it with her possibly being more candid, open and mature at that point than in say her Warren Commission testimony and the Priscilla McMillan period.
First, she called him because she trusted him after watching him on TV and reading some of his work to ask a favor. She had been asked to be on a TV show "but didn't feel right about doing it and wondered if I would fill in for her." He did. As they talked further, he gathered "Marina appreciated my open-mindedness about her former husband, and as we spoke it became clear that she was an astute scholar of the case. She recalled everything I had ever said with remarkable clarity and expressed that same knowledge of other people's comment in TV and radio interview, books and magazine articles. They agreed to meet in person the next time Wecht was "in her neck of the woods."
November 1992, he had a lecture to do in Dallas. He invited her to lunch with him and his wife. Marina made arrangements at a local restaurant where they could have a leisurely meal. The found her in a "booth in a quiet corner." They shared photographs of children, the women bonded a bit the way it sounds. "June and Rachel spoke with typical Texas twangs." "Marina had saved every book and magazine article on Oswald and the Kennedy assassination, expecting that they might one day want to learn about him."
To follow up on my original quote starting the tread, "he constantly insulted her . . . After they moved from Russia to the United States, he made fun that she couldn't speak English but didn't want her to learn the language (some have asserted she did already know it). He criticized the way she handled their babies . . ."
"I asked Marina if she thought her husband had shot the president. Surely, she <did> . . . when she talked to authorities and the Warren Commission early on." At our lunch she stated that she now believed Oswald was tellin the truth when he said he was a "patsy." "Marina asserted that U.S. government had lied to both her and her late husband."
"Marina, Sigrid and I tried to talk it through. why would the U.S. government go to the expense of training someone to become a double agent . . ." "We reasoned that if Oswald's chosen profession was more than that of a shipping clerk at a book warehouse, he had to know what he was part of. Maybe not everything, but enough to recognize that he had to keep his mouth shut and do what was needed."
"Marina was familiar with my spiel on the magic bullet," she'd seen the Zapruder film on Geraldo in 1975. She knew about front right, grassy knoll. Lee's trip down the stairs to the lunchroom. He also asked if she knew about a Lee calling the FBI to warn about a Chicago attempt on JFK. She did as well as Thomas Edward Vallee.
"Oswald sneered that she didn't understand politics . . . Marina just wasn't smart enough to know how the world worked, he insisted. The remembrance of that upset her. She dabbed at her watery eyes and reached for a cigarette, her go to habit when she felt stress."
As Marina offered her views on these issues, I was in awe of how she could so astutely separate fact from conjecture . . .

There is much more evidence that demonstrates the level of interest JFK, Jr. had in his father's death, which you can find in my book Hidden History and in my upcoming work American Memory Hole: How the Court Historians Promote Disinformation, which will be officially released August 27, but is available for presale. American Memory Hole by Donald Jeffries He was basically reading the same books on the subject that we were.
I published a new piece on the 25th year anniversary on the assassination of JFK, Jr. yesterday on Substack. I provided a few teasers to the new information I discovered on this subject. I was finally able to track down the elusive Coast Guard Petty Officer Todd Burgun, for example, who gave an interview about the now memory holed 9:39 pm phone call from JFK, Jr., reporting all was well, for WCVB-TV. Our exchange was eye-opening. You can read the article for free here: The Assassination of John F. Kennedy, Jr.
Thank you, Don. The Substack article is great. I've been going to read Hidden History for quite some time now but never got around to it. I think I'll start with it for now.

I think he's still a member here, you should be able to contact him if so. Finding his site is tricky anymore.
Oops. I thought for some reason he was affiliated with the History Matters website. Looks like I was mistaken.

Not often anymore but I think he did a few months ago.

Of course one bullet passed through both -- at the level of the 3rd thoracic vertebra. Too low to associate with the throat wound.
Naw Cliff, yew know better. It did go in at T-3, then hit a bone turning upward then going out the incoming throat wound identified by the experienced Dr. Perry 3X on 11/22 obliterating it, as evidenced in the death stare photo. Then, to coin a term (Ha!), it Magically turned downward to Connally's arm pit, broke a rib, punctured a lung went out near the right nipple and on to the right radius of tall, big boned Connally. Which it smashed, embedding itself into JC's thigh. Then falling out on his stretcher. In pristine condition. There we have CE399. Arlen Specter, and Gerald Ford's Single Bullett Theory.
As opposed to CE856. The exact same type of bullet, fired from "Oswald's" rifle into a human cadaver wrist by Our government. It is severely distorted from this one wound alone. Much less the bone in JFK''s back necessary for the deflection, or JBC's rib. Pictures illustrate this, the difference in bullets. Maybe I'll dig for them tomorrow, unless someone else wants to do so now.
In memory of Dr. Wecht, who inspected the coat and shirt and bullets at the National Archives.

Long as I'm on a musical roll from long ago, I would not give you false hope. A song I never knew until tonight Paul Simon wrote about his first personal encounter with death, that of his dog being run over. Which I can personally relate to recently. How he got this out of that I'm not sure.

Wait. When did Wecht speak to DeMohrenschildt?
The phrasing makes it sound like 1964. Wecht was not a leading light of the research community at that time. I highly doubt he spoke to DeMohrenschildt in 1964, let alone about Dulles.
1977. The comma is the key Pat. I should have put the quote in a greater context, I can see how it might look like Wecht was talking about 1964. Which he was, about what George said, in 1977.
To summarize a little greater detail from what I just re read and I'm referring to as I type:
In early 1977 Wecht got a call out of the blue from Willem Oltmans whom he'd heard of but never spoken with. Oltmans was staying at de Mohrenschildt's in Dallas audio recording George's story over the years for a planned autobiography. Oltman's said George was fearful about his upcoming HSCA testimony, would Wecht be willing to talk to him about what he thought George might expect? To quote Cyril "I wasn't going to turn down the opportunity to meet both these men, so I flew there and spent a long afternoon with them at de Mohrenschildt's home, which he designed."
Wecht says his request to testify to the HSCA had not yet been granted so he couldn't speak from personal experience. But from reading the WC report he knew GDM had testified for two full days. Wecht was puzzled why he seemed so unnerved, GDM's responses to the Warren panel had been so assured. "he was kicking himself now over answers to the WC which now seemed glib to him now". He advised him to take an attorney he trusted and tell him his story beforehand.
He asked him if he was or ever had been a CIA agent he denied it but admitted he had encountered agents in his travels and been debriefed after foreign trips. That (Dallas CIA head) J Walton Moore insisted Oswald was "a harmless lunatic" and encouraged them to stay in the ex-Marine's life.
The comes the "During the period when de Mohrenschildt gave testimony to the Warren Commission, he told me that on more than one occasion he would Privately eat lunch with Allen Dulles."

Since I started a Lennon thread, I guess I should post this. I bought the album when it came out, still have it. I disagree with one point, there is an afterlife. But I've always found it peaceful, uplifting.

First, has anyone else here read this? I'm just finishing it, 10 pages to go, many flagged/highlighted passages. Three from the latter part I thought I'd share for now.
One. "During the period when de Mohrenschildt gave testimony to the Warren Commision, he told me that on more than one occasion he would privately eat lunch with Allen Dulles, I was stunned to hear the former CIA director would extend an invitation for an off the record meeting with any witness." Page 241.
I was stunned too reading this, but maybe I shouldn't have been. GDM met Allen in about 1917 at about 10-12 years old in Russia/Belarius where his dad managed an oil field during the Russian revolution which Allen was seeking an interest in on behalf of Sullivan and Cromwell/the Rockefellers of Wall Street. From memory, correct me, Devil's Chessboard, Talbot.
Two. My lunch with Marina, beginning page 260. I thought this had been put to rest in discussions on the forum, in the opposite direction, apparently, I was wrong. To summarize, Wecht surprisingly got a call from Marina in 1991, he had never talked to her. But she had read and seen his work. She had agreed to an interview she didn't want to do and asked him to do it for her, which he did. They agreed to speak again in more detail in the future. That happened in November 1992 in a "quiet corner" of a restaurant Marina chose over a leisurely meal with Wecht's wife Sigrid also present. A very interesting lunch, as Dr. Wecht says, she was a very astute scholar of the assassination.
"As she had said over the phone, Oswald was never a verry good husband, but now she added more details. He beat her, including while she was pregnant, and would force himself on her . . .
I thought that was dispelled. But she seems very credible, down to earth and knowledgeable and open in this lunch with the esteemed Dr. Wecht.
Three. Page 279. President Nixon seemed star stuck by Connally, the handsome Texan with the bigger-than-life personality. Despite the latter's decades long obeisance to the Democratic party, Nixon offered to appoint Connally as U.S. secretary of the treasury. But Connally would only take the job if Nixon could find a nice gig for George H. W, Bush . . . a one term congressman who had lost two senatorial bids. Nixon appointed him Ambassador to the United Nations, kicking his political profile into high gear." Onwards and backwards to the CIA?

Newsmax, citing sources in the Pennsylvania State Police, says Trump was not struck in the ear by a bullet but by a glass shard or fragments from a Teleprompter shattered by a bullet. The FBI SAC heading the investigation, when asked if a bullet hit Trump, declined to answer. The medical staff at the hospital have not publicly discussed his injury but have been told to defer questions to the campaign. Trump was not wearing a bandage on his ear while playing golf Sunday but conspicuously wore one at the convention Monday.
That's interesting. No patch for golf but a large one for the convention the next day. The FBI declined to answer? The medical staff told to defer questions to the campaign? This was an assassination attempt on a former president protected by the Secret Service. We the People have a right to know. Of course, the Press won't press the issue.

Isn't this what JFK was ultimately all about?

A point for consideration. A large part of academia is funded by grants from the government, both state and national. Don't bite the hand that feeds you.

He did have a large gauze bandage on the ear at the convention.

That's an important inclusion. Which brings in David Boylan and Stu Wexler among others
