  6. ”Sound like the JFK files…”

    As someone who would have loved nothing more than for the CIA and FBI to be heavily involved and thus discredit the Federal Government more than it has done so to itself already, I think it was clear that the most likely scenario was that Oswald was a CIA asset (true) who ultimately went rogue (likely). Both the CIA and FBI were aware of Oswald (true), but bungled their efforts to monitor him and take the threats he made seriously (very likely). When Oswald acted alone, they realized the extent of their mistakes and worked to sweep as much of it into beer the rug as possible and shift blame accordingly. Nothing more, nothing less.

    I don’t believe Oswald was ever a CIA asset. It would have come out by now, as Buck Sexton says the government is the worst keeper of secrets and anything substantive about the JFK assassination would have been leaked long ago. I do agree the CIA and FBI “knew” about him, he lived in the USSR and was a pro-Fidel activist. I think they probably thought he was a nutcase and harmless, certainly they were wrong.

    Oswald was too nutty and unstable to be a credible asset IMO.

    JFK was killed by Oswald and there was never any conspiracy. I know that disappoints a lot of people but deal with it.

    Biden-era federal prosecutors privately discussed targeting Catholic nuns for prosecution simply because they attended a January 6 rally, according to internal Justice Department messages released through a Senate oversight investigation.

    The texts, obtained by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) as part of his committee’s work, center on a February 2021 exchange between DOJ prosecutors Molly Gaston and Joseph Cooney, triggered by a New York Times photograph showing religious sisters in traditional habits and pro-Trump scarves attending the “Stop the Steal” rally.

    “I would like to take a special assignment of finding and prosecuting them,” Gaston wrote upon seeing the image

    “I’m with you,” Cooney replied. “Although I’d like to prosecute any nun who still wears the head habit.”

    “Hahaha,” Gaston responded.”

    I am sure these people are great admirers of the Marxist Pope, however.

    “Russia’s traditional parade marking the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II will take place next week without tanks, missiles and other military equipment, the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement.

    It will be the first time in nearly two decades — and in Russia’s 4-year-old war in Ukraine — that no military equipment will rumble through Moscow’s Red Square on May 9, the day Russia celebrates its most important secular holiday. The Kremlin has used it to showcase its military might and global clout, and it is a source of patriotic pride.

    The ministry cited the “current operational situation” as a reason for excluding military equipment, as well as cadets, from this year’s parade on the 81st anniversary of the victory. Ukraine has launched drone attacks deep inside Russia to counter Moscow’s more than 4-year-old invasion.

    About 6 shots of Grey Goose. I don’t measure, it might be 8, nobody is counting. I doubt it is less than 6.

    32 oz of Spicy V8 juice. Don’t pour it all into the pitcher, because you want to add a small bottle of clam juice also. And the juice of half a lemon.

    Stir it all up with some ice cubes (not crushed ice, melts too fast and dilutes the drink). You really want to drink the whole pitcher before the ice melts so if don’t have any companions or friends use a large glass.

    I don’t use any of the gay garnishes like celery sticks or a silly little skewer of shrimp and olives. There are already vegetables like celery in the V8 and seafood in the clam juice.

    If you are a real man or woman you can put a few more dashes of Tabasco in it. No Worcestershire sauce, I think it gives a sweet taste to the drink.
