AT LEAST 12 state governments are not second guessing pediatricians, Ob-Gyns, librarians. or scientific consensus because it is not reasonable for legislators to focus on contradicting what is beyond the expertise of the average red states legislator.
Second guessing librarians? What exactly are you referring to with that whole paragraph?

guess we can all go home now, John. and just wait to see mssr. Doyle testifying before The Luna Committee on What Really Happened to JFK ?
just can’t wait to find out. I’ll record it on c-span and share it here. you’re welcome, Albert.
It's far more likely Doyle's stuff would get reported by The Onion or the Babylon Bee.

« Last post by John Corbett on Yesterday at 08:56:42 PM »AI can be used for more than just "upscaling" films. It's not possible to know everything that AI may eventually be able to tell us from the existing evidence. Certainly better grounds for future optimism than CTer buffs staring at pictures and seeing whatever suits their desired narrative. That is where things have stood for the last several decades and will stay forever absent some technological advancement.
AI might be able to produce Zapruder frames with better resolution and contrast but then it would become manipulated evidence so there is that tradeoff. A while back somebody on this forum produced such a frame. The color, contrast, and resolution were so good it was scary. It was as if somebody had produced a high-resolution photo from a digital camera. I would bet it is only matter of time before somebody produces a high-resolution version of the Z-film using AI to produce it. It would have to be somebody who is far more tech savvy than me.

« Last post by John Corbett on Yesterday at 08:50:21 PM »After the passages of so much time, you have to wonder if there is anything left to be learned. Maybe AI can be used on some of the films and photos to put it to rest one day, but I think we reached the point of diminishing returns on the evidence decades ago. My conclusion from that evidence is that Oswald did it. There is certainly no credible evidence of the involvement of anyone else. No feasible narrative that explains away the evidence against Oswald or even a narrative that makes sense in which Oswald is not the assassin. Does Cuba, Russia or the US government have anything from Oswald's trip to Mexico City that could shed further light on his motive? A tape recording or transcript. I doubt it but that is the last frontier unless AI can open new avenues. When all is said and done, I'm 99.99 percent sure that Oswald was the assassin. And 99.98 percent sure no one else was involved.
That's pretty much my take although I would put a few more nines to the right of the decimal point on the first number and add about .01 to the second.

At that time we were traveling very slowly, no more than 12 miles an hour. In accordance with my custom, I was very much concerned about our timing and at just about that point I looked at my watch and noted that it was almost exactly 12:30 p.m., Which was the time we were due at the Trade Mart. I commented to Ken O'Donnell that it was 12:30 and we would only be about five minutes late when we arrived at the Trade Mart. Shortly thereafter the first shot went off and it sounded to me as if it were a firecracker. I noticed then that the President moved quite far to his left after the shot from the extreme right hand side where he had been sitting. There was a second shot and Governor Connally disappeared from sight and then there was a third shot which took off the top of the President's head and had the sickening sound of a grapefruit splattering against the side of a wall. The total time between the first and third shots was about 5 or 6 seconds. My first impression was that the shots came from the right and overhead, but I also had a fleeting impression that the noise appeared to come from the front in the area of the triple overpass. This may have resulted from my feeling, when I looked forward toward the overpass, that we might have ridden into an ambush.
Powers was wrong about the sequence and the time span.

I'm not sure what relevance that has. The fact remains that the citizens who live in these liberal hellscapes are fleeing to red states. They are doing so in large numbers. Over one million New Yorkers have fled in since 2020. In that same timeframe, approximately four million Californians have left. What is your explanation for this mass exodus? Are they under Russian mind control?

« Last post by Tom Scully on Yesterday at 08:32:05 PM »All the words in the world don't change simple facts. People are leaving places like California and NY that have been governed by liberals for decades. They are moving to red states. These people are not acting irrationally against their own self interest. They are leaving behind high taxes, crime, homeless encampments, and illegal alien sanctuaries for a better life.You’re overly influenced by right wing propaganda, sponsored by the folks who hide behind you after heavily investing in shaping your POV
Follow the money. If the mass exodus you believe is happening, why is it not showing up in the supply and demand ?
