so what?  6 others won as well. More "Richard Smith"  BS:
He was;  "Recognized for a lifetime of achievement, including his leadership on HIV research, AIDS relief, and communicating essential public health measures."

Meanwhile;
"Trump minimized the severity of the virus by stating that 99% of COVID-19 cases are "totally harmless"

"Trump aggressively promoted the anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine as a "game changer," even claiming he took it prophylactically. His promotion caused a temporary run on the drug, which complicated access for lupus and arthritis patients who relied on it."

In July 2020, Trump retweeted a video featuring doctors making false claims about a coronavirus "cure" and dismissing "the efficacy of masks. He defended the presenters as "very respected" after social media platforms removed the video for violating misinformation policies."

“Our doctors get more money if somebody dies from COVID. You know that, right?” Trump told a crowd in Michigan, falsely asserting that doctors purposefully chose to blame COVID-19 for terminal illnesses like cancer or heart attacks."

"Trump speculated about whether disinfectants could be used internally to treat the virus."

"Donald Trump downplayed the virus and blocked Fauci from appearing on several television programs. Trump called Fauci part of a group of "idiots" and suggested he might fire him after the presidential election, which Trump lost."

Trump has taught you to hate and it serves him well.

"So what"?  First, it is a crime for federal employees to solicit cash awards.  Second, he took time and resources away from dealing with an ongoing pandemic to instruct his employees to spend their time seeking awards on his behalf.  Third, he didn't deserve the awards because he was either an incompetent and/or complicit in a pandemic that resulted in the deaths of millions.  Other than that I guess it was fine.

The "glitch" that Dems had been denying ever existed?  Thousands were registered and hundreds did vote.  And that is one state.  How do we know that such "glitches" don't exist elsewhere?  How many votes did Putin illegally cast in the election?  Dems are obsessed with that while dismissing the illegal aliens that we know are on the voting rolls.

Wow! You're really reelin' the BS today.

JFK Assassination Discussion & Debate / A question for Brian Doyle

My Hendrix research would be a vast improvement for The Education Forum but when I inquire why they are preventing my posting it I get no answer...I suspect they are loyalists who don't want to damage their home nation's reputation...

The glitch was caught. 6600 did not vote.

At the hearing yesterday, emails were presented from Fauci's federal staff soliciting cash awards for various prizes on his behalf.  He received $900k for one such award.

"Hawley then pointed to what he described as internal emails from Fauci's staff, including one from former chief of staff Greg Folkers discussing a nomination for the Dan David Prize. According to Hawley, the email asked federal employees to bolster the COVID-19 section of Fauci's nomination by providing language detailing his pandemic response.

"We're working on this nomination for the Dan David Award for Fauci," Hawley read from the email. "We need to beef up the COVID part."

Hawley alleged the Dan David Award carried a $900,000 cash prize and claimed Fauci used federal employees to help obtain it. He further accused Fauci of using government staff and resources to pursue at least eight additional cash awards, including honors from the Partnership for Public Service, the Adelson Prize, the Smithsonian Institution, the National Academy of Medicine and the CDC Foundation.

"In fact, you turned your staff into a full-time application machine," Hawley said. "You actually wrote to people and said, 'Do you think maybe I'd qualify?'"

Prove what?  There is nothing "questionable" about these voters.  There status is not in doubt. They were not US citizens.  There were nearly 7k on the voting rolls. How many illegal Russian voters did Putin get on the voting rolls?  None. But Dems are obsessed with Russia.

ABC News:

About 6,600 people in New Jersey who said they were not U.S. citizens had been incorrectly registered to vote due to a technical error during the previous gubernatorial administration, Gov. Mikie Sherrill, who took office this year, said Tuesday. She added that fewer than 400 were found to have actually voted and that the state is taking action to remove them from its voter rolls.

The glitch was caught. 6600 did not vote.

One of the biggest problems with the single-bullet theory (SBT) is that there were far too many bullet fragments in Governor John Connally's body to have come from CE 399.

A lie.
Quote

Although Dr. Charles Gregory later said the fragments removed from Connally's wrist were merely "flakes of metal" and that they weighed less than a postage stamp, there didn't seem to be any question about the wrist fragments in the first hours and days after the shooting. Dr. Gregory's own 11/22/63 Parkland Hospital operative record states that "small bits of metal were encountered at various levels" of the wrist wound, and that "wherever they were identified and could be picked up were picked up and have been submitted to the pathology department for identification and examination" (CE 392; 2 H 375).

This squares with Nurse Audrey Bell's account of the wrist fragments. Nurse Bell was the nurse who handled the bullet fragments that were removed from the governor's wrist. She insisted the fragments were not merely flakes but were identifiable pieces of metal anywhere from 3 to 4 mm in length and about 2 mm wide. 3-4 mm x 2 mm fragments are not large fragments, but they are certainly not flakes either. She said there were four or five fragments of this size removed from the wrist.

This, in turn, squares with the recollection of one of Connally's other surgeons, Dr. Robert Shaw. Interviewed for the award-winning 1988 documentary Reasonable Doubt: The Single-Bullet Theory, Shaw said,

I am sure that the bullet that inflicted these wounds on Governor Connally was fragmented much more than this bullet [CE 399] shows.

Shaw was a surgeon, not a ballistics expert but MTG doesn't care.
Quote

Dr. Pierre Finck, the only forensic pathologist at the autopsy, told the WC that CE 399 could not have been the bullet that hit Connally's wrist because there were many fragments described as being in the wrist:

Mr. SPECTER. Dr. Finck, have you had an opportunity to examine Commission’s Exhibit 399? . . . And could it have been the bullet which inflicted the wound on Governor Connally’s right wrist?

Colonel FINCK. No; for the reason that there are too many fragments described in that wrist. (2 H 382)



Finck was not present at Connally's surgery. How the hell would he know? Did he weigh the fragments and/or CE399? The only way Finck's statement would make sense is if the weight of the fragments plus the weight of CE399 weighed more than an unfired Carcano bullet(160-161 grains).
Quote

Similarly, Dr. James Humes, the chief pathologist at the autopsy, understood the clear implications of Dr. Gregory's 11/22/63 operative record. Dr. Humes was asked if CE 399 could have been either the missile that struck the head or the one that hit Connally's wrist. He replied in the negative in both cases and cited the operative record as the basis for his conclusion about the wrist bullet, saying he thought it was "most unlikely" that CE 399 could be the bullet that hit the wrist:

Why would MTG cite Humes when Humes wasn't present at Connally's surgery nor is he a ballistics expert? MTG has never cared about things like that. As long as someone says something that supports his silly narratives, that's good enough for him. No critical thinking involved.

Mr. SPECTER. Doctor Humes, I show you a bullet which we have marked as Commission Exhibit No. 399. . . . Now looking at that bullet, Exhibit 399, Doctor Humes, could that bullet have gone through or been any part of the fragment passing through President Kennedy's head in Exhibit No. 388?

Commander HUMES. I do not believe so, sir.

Mr. SPECTER. And could that missile have made the wound on Governor Connally's right wrist?

Commander HUMES. I think that that is most unlikely. May I expand on those two answers?

Mr. SPECTER. Yes, please do.

Commander HUMES. The X-rays made of the wound in the head of the late President showed fragmentations of the missile. Some fragments we recovered and turned over, as has been previously noted. Also we have X-rays of the fragment of skull which was in the region of our opinion exit wound showing metallic fragments.

Nobody has proposed that CE399 was the headshot.
Quote

Also going to Exhibit 392, the report from Parkland Hospital, the following sentence referring to the examination of the wound of the wrist is found: "Small bits of metal were encountered at various levels throughout the wound, and these were, wherever they were identified and could be picked up, picked up and submitted to the pathology department for identification and examination."

The reason I believe it most unlikely that this missile could have inflicted either of these wounds is that this missile is basically intact; its jacket appears to me to be intact, and I do not understand how it could possibly have left fragments in either of these locations. (2 H 374-375)[/font]

Humes was not an expert in ballistics. His pathology work was done primally on patients who had died from cancer or heart ailments, not gunshot wounds.

]

Also, we should keep in mind that there were at least two other fragments left in Connally's body: one was left in his chest and another was left in his thigh. Where in the devil could those fragments have come from CE 399? [/quote[

Still doesn't establish that there were more lead fragments in Connally's body than were missing from CE399.
Quote
 

Remember, too, that the FBI's Robert Frazier told the WC that CE 399 may not have lost any of its substance, and that at the most it lost less than 4 grains of its substance. To give you some idea of what a microscopic amount of material we're talking about, 4 grains is less than 83/10,000ths of a troy ounce or less than 0.0083 troy ounces.


The only way to establish if more lead was in Connally's body than was missing from CE399 by weighing both the fragments and CE399. Did anybody do that? Didn't think so.
Quote

Finally, notice that Humes acknowledged that CE 399 is "basically intact," and that its jacket "appears  to me to be intact." Recall that Frazier told the WC that CE 399 is only "slightly flattened or twisted" and that this slight damage "is hardly visible unless you look at the base of the bullet and notice it is not round" (3 H 429). Yet this bullet supposedly tore through seven layers of skin, shattered a rib bone, and shattered a distal radius bone.

MTG continues to fall back on the same myths he was hawking back in 1991. The reason  CE399 is flattened at the base and not the nose is because it had tumbled before striking rib or wrist bone. It had also been slowed by passing through two torsos before striking any bone. Not hard to figure out when you weigh all the available information.

BS: Prove it.
There were about 300 questionable votes in NJ that made no winning difference
