JFK ... A last look
As I've mentioned before, there is a lot of confusion/uncertainty about the assassination.
Was Oswald even involved? If he or someone took the shot from the school book depository, why not take an easier shot as the limo approached, rather than firing from behind? What of all the questions about the rifle and its caliber? Why was officer Tippet killed? Was it connected in some way? After all, people say he looked like JFK.
In many ways, we have to go back to the beginning. What do we actually *know* and what is mere speculation? Or perhaps what are misreported "facts" from news organizations and investigators who were scrambling to understand everything for the first 24-48 hours?
A reader sent me a link to this video that I found to be most enlightening. The person speaking refers to it as how he contributed to some of the confusion by a simple mistake he made. It's worth a look, because it changes the conversation.
As I've stated, we'll never know the truth, but maybe we can set aside the warren commission findings, and take a fresh look at all the facts. Put away all the conspiracy theories and just focus on what we know....

JFK - the Moorman photo
She said she was standing on the street as the president passed by, in order to get a better look. But in the zapruder film (the one where she and her friend in red are facing the camera), she is clearly NOT on the street. But there's another problem: other things don't quite line up to the photo.
The still I took from the zapruder film is from about 15 frames before the head wound, so you can see her position. The police are in a different enough position where they couldn't make up the distance in the few seconds that pass.

And then there is the photo from behind Moorman. In this picture, she is in the right place with respect to the police, and IS on the street. But now there's the problem of other things, especially the other lady to the side, and the mystery man who isn't in the zapruder picture. I used arrows to show you everyone.
Sure, it could all be timing or angles. And again with crappy photos from the 1960s it's hard to get an accurate true depiction of what happened.
But it goes back to my thought that this is all very, very odd and confusing.

Who killed the USFL?
But one stands out as especially relevant. In who killed the USFL, Mike
Tolling posits:
"Well, it seems that a certain high-profile and impatient team owner, whose name now adorns towers and hotels and golf courses all over the world, had convinced his colleagues that the league should either move to a fall season and go head-to-head with the NFL, or fold its tents."
You can read the full summary here:

But in typical Trump fashion, he calls mike dishonest and a loser because he's incredibly thin skinned. You can read about that aspect here:
