Trump Says He Will Release Final Set of Documents on Kennedy Assassination. About time they were released, it’s been almost 54 years.
Subject to the receipt of further information, I will be allowing, as President, the long blocked and classified JFK FILES to be opened.

Is it just us or does NBC News turns itself into an oxymoron when it covers an event that happened 47 years ago. Note that there is no question mark at the end of that sentence, making it purely a rhetorical question.

Camelot still exists in the minds of the Washington-New York-Hollywood axis and they will attempt to reinforce it every damn chance they get, whether it’s calling Barack Obama the last Kennedy brother or finding a new way to mark the anniversary of JFK’s assassination.
For example, here’s Brian Williams on last night’s NBC Nightly “News”:
For more than one American generation, November 22nd will always be the day President Kennedy was shot. A new book just out is full of the imagery of those years. It’s called “Portrait of Camelot,” full of rarely seen family photos by the White House photographer back then, Cecil Stoughton.
They include JFK’s Christmas Eve in Palm Beach, making sure the stockings were hung by the chimney with care. The incredibly cute John Jr. on a boat in August of ‘63. Jacqueline Kennedy on a boat off Cape Cod while Caroline naps on a summer day.
Video released along with the book includes a First Family dip in the fountain, the backyard of the White House on the South Lawn. And for the First Family, of course, it all came to an end on this day, 1963, in Dallas, Texas.
In the misty world of liberal memories, JFK wasn’t a womanizer. Teddy Kennedy wasn’t a drunk. Joe Kennedy wasn’t a Nazi-sympathizing rum runner. The family’s men had no warts and its women were perfectly-coifed paragons of virtue.
Don’t you just know that we’re going to have to live with this same sort of nonsense for the next 50 years after Obama leaves office.
Once again, a rhetorical question.

It’s bad enough when Michelle Obama is compared to Jackie Kennedy. And based on the two clips below, it’s obvious that Barack Obama should be contrasted to John F. Kennedy, not compared to him.
President Obama revealed his first budget yesterday and two issues clearly differentiate the two Democrat presidents – returning to the moon and taxes. On one hand, Kennedy inspired us to do the impossible and cut taxes. On the other hand, Barack Obama kills the dream of manned space travel and revels in the imposition of a wide range of new taxes .
This ain’t no Camelot.
JFK on going to the moon
JFK on taxes
A crazy theory is advanced in “A President was killed the last time right-wing hatred ran wild like this,” an article written by Eric Boehlert at Media Matters.
A new theory claims Lee Harvey Oswald wasn’t responsible for the assassination of JFK. Neither was LBJ nor Cuba nor the unions nor the Mob. No, it was caused by “right wing hatred running wild.”
This theory is advanced in “A President was killed the last time right-wing hatred ran wild like this,” an article written by Eric Boehlert at Media Matters.
Boehlert draws heavily on his experiences in the 1960s which, we assume, may have included ingesting numerous mind-altering substances.
“I’ve been thinking a lot of Kennedy and Dallas as I’ve watched the increasingly violent rhetorical attacks on Obama be unfurled,” Boehlert says, “as Americans yank their kids out of class in order to save them from being exposed to the President of the United States who only wanted to urge them to excel in the classroom. And as unvarnished hate and name-calling passed for health care ‘debate’ this summer.”
“The radical right, aided by a GOP Noise Machine that positively dwarfs what existed in 1963, has turned demonizing Obama–making him into a vile object of disgust–into a crusade,” he continues. “It’s a demented national jihad, the likes of which this country has not seen in modern times.”
Unfortunately for Boehlert, all the individuals and groups suspected in the Kennedy assassination were of the leftist variety. Oswald was an communist wannabe. LBJ was liberal. Cuba was and is communist. And union’s? Pretty much leftists.
So pardon us if we’re confused as hell by Boehlerts’ theory.
But, then, we’re guessing that he’s confused, too.

ABC’s Chris Cuomo and Claire Shipman noted the tenth anniversary of the death John F. Kennedy, Jr. by dubbing him “the prince of Camelot.” Barf!
For God’s sake, man, will this senseless Kennedy worship never end?
ABC’s Chris Cuomo and Claire Shipman noted the tenth anniversary of the death John F. Kennedy, Jr. by dubbing him “the prince of Camelot.”
Shipman said his “very existence had somehow come to represent a critical link to our fairy tale past. And always, always the possibility of another chapter.”
“And a decade later,” Shipman whimpered, “it’s still the potential we remember, the what-might-have-been.”
The key phrase here is “fairy tale,” because the reality of John John’s life veers quickly into a display of no potential whatsoever.
It’s also been widely reported that “the prince” wasn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer. He failed the New York bar exam twice. He published George, a money-losing political magazine. He dated the horse-faced Sarah Jessica Parker and the whorish Madonna. And as a result of inexperience, arrogance or stupidity (take your choice), he flew his airplane into the ocean at night.
The fairy tale of unfulfilled Kennedy potential took another blow last year when John John’s sister Caroline (the princess of Camelot, we assume) made an embarrassing and quickly-aborted run for the Senate in New York.
Of course, the liberal media spoon feeds tasty fairy tale morsels to the masses and they eat it up.
If you’ll excuse us, we have an unfulfilled urge to vomit.
