That's not the essay though.

You are probably right. MTG had said Young had made the claim about the "brass slug" in his "What Price a Rose" essay. The version of the essay I found online contained no such reference. When he insisted it was I did a google search for "James Young What Price a Rose" and this web page was one that came up. I did a find-on-page looking for the quote MTG had claimed had been made. When I found the reference to the "brass slug", I decided MTG had been right about the quote and assumed it was from "What Price a Rose". Going back, it now appears to me that during the interview, Young had been reading from the notes he took and not his essay. It appears MTG and I both made the same mistake in believing it came from the essay. It's a little confusing because the article does say at some point Young was reading from his essay. Whether he was reading from the essay or his notes, it does appear Young did make the claim in his 2001 interview. The question then becomes was his observation a correct one. The lack of corroboration from any other source seems to indicate that Young was confused. It also makes no sense that the Secret Service would have sent the bullet to Bethesda when all the fragments they found were turned over to the FBI. I can understand why the bone fragments would be important to the prosectors, but what reason would there be to send them the ballistic evidence.

On another issue, the HSCA Outside Contact Report in which Captain John Stover denied he saw a whole bullet at Bethesda also indicates Stover did not remember the prosectors examining the adrenal glands. Since Young brought up the subject of JFK's adrenal glands in his interview, I'm wondering if at least some of the questions the HSCA asked Stover were based on comments Young had made. I know the interview was many years after the HSCA did their work but it's very possible they had talked to Young before they talked to Stover and was looking to Stover to confirm or deny some of Young's claims.

Nobody cares about Paris over here. Trump saved us from two horrible people Hildabeast, and Kamala. 

For that alone, Trump deserves thanks from a grateful nation. Can you imagine where the country would be if Hillary had chosen the 3 Supreme Court appointees that instead were made by Trump. I wonder if never-Trump former Republicans like George Will and Bill Crystal ever both to ask themselves that question.

I weary of ad hominem threads.

If Trump loses the election, will the Republican party have 'turned the corner'. No. The problem is with MAGA. We are not drifting into disaster. We are being forcibly driven toward disaster by tens of millions of disloyal Americans. Don't believe me? Watch what happens if Trump loses. They won't go back to regular Republican politics. They are not going back. Instead, they will look for another right wing dictator want-to-be. Likely recommended by the authors of Project 2025. They will vet a bunch of candidates, weed out the ones with too much scandal, but make certain that this person is sincere in their desire to be a right wing dictator. Win one, win forever. They think this will somehow take care of the 'problem' of the percentage of the population of just European descent dropping below 50 % in the next 10 to 20 years.

If this come to happen, will people start to believe that MAGA are not just a bunch of dump hicks but disloyal Americans? Because an American who is disloyal to democracy is a disloyal American.

Solution: The only solution is if more voters vote in the primaries. Most voters skip the primaries but vote for whoever their party candidate is in November. This opens the door for extremists. If all Republicans had voted in the primaries, Trump would have never won a Republican nomination in 2016, 2020 nor 2024. This is the only way for the Republican party to get back on track.

The same think may happen to the Democratic party. If you skip the primaries you should do your country a favor and skip the general election as well.

Oh my goodness. It just figures that you suffer from TDS.

Let's see: Republicans weren't the ones who rioted in 2021, causing billions of dollars in property damage and causing numerous injuries and several deaths, all because they couldn't wait for the Minnesota AG to judicially lynch Officer Derek Chauvin.

The last time I checked, Republicans weren't the ones who were going around vandalizing and burning Tesla vehicles because they were upset at Elon Musk for trying to bring some fiscal sanity to federal spending.

The last time I checked, Republicans aren't the ones who have been assaulting ICE agents, who are refusing to cooperate with Homeland Security, and who are unlawfully harboring illegal aliens.

The last time I checked, Republicans aren't the ones who have been trying to force female athletes to compete against biological males under the perverted misuse of the noble ideas of "fairness" and "inclusion."

The last time I checked, Republicans aren't the ones who have been fighting tooth and nail to block common-sense measures to prevent fraud in our elections.

Dang, you guys were really on a roll here !  This is what I’m talkin’ about, Willis !
