About 50% of the electorate voted for Trump so why should anybody be surprised if roughly the same percentage of JFKA buffs support him?

SSA Hickey in the follow-up limo accidentally fired a 4 or 5 shot auto burst of his AR15 & the last slug (a hollow point slug) hit jfk in the head, & the remnant slug then cracked the windshield.
The 2nd last shot of Hickey's auto burst put a dent in the chrome trim above the windshield of the jfk limo.  As far as i know no-one has ever re-created that dent shot.  This would be a good test to show that the dent was made by an AR15 & not by Oswald's Carcano.

The Hickey-did-it-accidentally theory is as goofy as any conspiracy theory I've ever come across. It's right up there with Greer shooting JFK with a handgun. The evidence for a first shot while Zapruder was not filming is as thin as gruel.

For the most part, I agree with everything you wrote about Oswald and space aliens. The obstacles to interstellar travel are mind boggling. As for the creation of our universe or other universes, that is a complete mystery to me. I have no idea how that could happen but somehow it did. Science can take us back to the Big Bang but I want to know what came before the Big Bang and what triggered the Big Bang. I don't know what the answer to that is and I doubt I ever will but until that fundamental question is answered, I don't rule anything in or anything out.

My Two Cents is that JFK was assassinated by Oswald alone and that we have not been visited by Alien Spacecraft. Space is just too vast. Too hard to make the journey. And there are philosophical reasons to believe that we cannot visit other starts and aliens cannot visit ours.


First of all, the constants of fundamental properties of physics, strength of gravity, the strength of electric attraction of protons and electrons, just happened to be set perfectly to allow the existence of stars, planets, life and intelligent life. The odds of this happening by sheer luck alone are astronomical. How did this happen?

Well, for most people, the answer is obvious. God set up the universe that way.

I do not go along with this. I am biased against supernatural explanations. Maybe I am wrong, but that is my bias.

I go along with the theory that universes are being created all the time, with different properties. In most of these universes, life never forms. In a small fraction of universes, life can form and does form and sometimes develops intelligent beings that wonder how they could be so lucky.


Now, let's imagine a catalog that contains a card that corresponds to a star which has intelligent life. The majority of these cards should occur in universes with lots of civilizations. So, most likely, we live in a universe with lots of civilizations that develop around certain stars.

What kind of property should such a universe have:

* Lots of stars that provide potential for a civilization to develop.

* Some 'mechanism' that makes it basically impossible for a civilization, even with advanced technology, to visit other stars. Otherwise, an early civilization could form first, quickly colonize other star systems, and prevent other civilizations from ever forming. Such a universe would develop relatively few civilizations and so, statistically, we are probably not in such a universe.


Does our universe look something like this? Yes, it is vast. With hundreds of billions of galaxies, each with billions, even hundreds of billions of stars. And there is 'mechanism' that likely prevent the visiting of other solar systems, which will prevent one civilization preventing other potential civilizations from ever forming? Again, yes, the vast distances between stars which scientists just don't see a way of technology of ever overcoming.

So no, I do not think we have ever been visited by aliens.

I'll bet Ukraine regrets giving up their nukes when the Soviet Union broke up.

Why?

Russia's a world-class humanitarian organization which was forced to invade Ukraine by evil, evil NATO and the Democrats!

All it wants is peace and love in the world!

That very, very nice man, Vladimir Putin should be praised for installing Donald Trump as our President!

I hadnt thort of it before now, but the crease in the front face of the hard tough chrome trim would have helped to stop the small frangible slug (possibly hollow point) from Hickey's AR15.
The remnant slug & some of the lead splatter would probly have ended outside of the JFK limo (ie on the road). This was the 2nd last shot of Hickey's auto burst.

The last shot of the accidental auto burst hit JFK in the head, & the remnant slug veered say  6 deg inside the skull to then crack the windscreen (just left of the mirror).
This remnant probly ended inside the JFK limo. In which case it must have been secretted by the SS. Unless it did end up on the road.

From 6:16 this video shows an open-ended jacketed bullet hitting something hard:

I do not know if there is a strong correlation between believing in a JFK conspiracy and supporting Trump. It is certainly not uncommon, on this board, for people to believe there was no conspiracy in the JFK assassination, as I do, but do support Trump, which I do not.

Who cares?  He is president and Kamala/Hillary are not.  If nothing else, Trump spared us an unmitigated disaster of a Kamala Harris or Hillary Clinton presidency.  That would have been the end game for the US.  Even with our media working overtime to undermine Trump, he still won.  The lunatics don't always control the agenda.  Even if they are loud and destructive.  Thankfully we still have some sane people.

ME: What percentage of the people who voted for Trump in 2024 now disapprove of his job performance?

GROK: Approximately 20-25% of people who voted for Trump in 2024 now give him a negative (disapprove) job approval rating.

Is that why his approval rating is so high?

LP-

I regard Biden as having been weak in the Ukraine war. I don't remember all the details, but there were all sorts of restrictions on Kyiv, such not firing missiles into Russia. The Biden and euro-weaklings seemed to live in daily dread of a nuke war. They visibly cowered before Putin.

The only narrative I can construct to "excuse" Biden and Trump is this: What the US national security state really wanted was a long stalemate in Ukraine, one that would drain down Russia. If so, this plan has worked better than anyone could have hoped. Russia will need decades to recover the catastrophe Putin has inflicted upon them.

From what I read, Trump still provides intel to Ukraine and has sold weapons through Europe to Ukraine.

Meanwhile, Trump has destroyed Russian allies in Syria, Venezuela, Iran and possibly soon Cuba. Biden would have done none of that.

Some say, "Look at what Trump does, not his showmanship."

I am dubious about Trump's character. Not a Trump fan.

But if Trump topples the IRGC, I will forgive him all sins.

And Russia will be weaker than ever when that happens.

Is Trump a friend of Putin? Not sure.

Obama sent them blankets.  So they should be warm.  He also sent Iran a plane load of cash.  Something around $400 million.  That worked out well. LOL. Trump makes the right policy decisions more often than not.  Iran is a longstanding problem dating back five decades.  Jimmy Carter should have brought down the hammer when they took diplomats hostage.  An act of war.  Their takeaway from that was that the US was weak and all they had to do is give it a slow roll.  Trump is a new sheriff in town.  Not Barney Fife but Gary Cooper.  Russia and Ukraine is a longstanding regional conflict.  It will play out soon.  The US has done more than its part.
