@@williambarnes7133 By 1962 the Soviet leader had deemed Kennedy’s deployment of the Jupiter missiles in Turkey an “intolerable provocation,” later telling American journalist Strobe Talbott that Americans “would learn just what it feels like to have enemy missiles pointing at you; we’d be doing nothing more than giving them a little of their own medicine.” “According to the version of events propagated by the Kennedy administration,” writes The Atlantic, “(and long accepted as historical fact), Washington unequivocally rebuffed Moscow’s offer and instead, thanks to Kennedy’s resolve, forced a unilateral Soviet withdrawal.” However, in the end, Kennedy had secretly accepted the quid pro quo missile swap that Khrushchev himself proposed on October 27. A fact that only came to light in the late 1980s and after Khrushchev’s death in 1971.

He had a way with words, had great presence, and inspiration. He also had courage. He was, in fact, the last classical liberal democrat president. Could you look up to and admire his policies and actions? To answer that, you must research his presidency, platform, actions and results. Successes and failures. Since Kennedy, the Democrat Party has swung deeply left. Today it is a true totalitarian fascist party.

Roosevelt, Lincoln, Washington, Reagan, Obama, FDR, LBJ, and many others. May those people, especially Johnathan Fitzgerald Kennedy, our 35th president of the United States of America, be living in heaven with peace now, and may he never be forgotten. He may not have been a "great" president, but my GOD is he 1 hell of a great president! May he rest in peace, no matter how much time it's been ever since he took his last breath & ascended to Heaven, where he deserves to be for his humanitarian & political actions that helped America in the best way possible for it's time.

[@izzy1773]

Rich, You're not flawed. I think you are absolutely perfect. A diamond. You are here with us. I live outside of LA. I will tell you who is flawed. Last week, all of the movie actors fled LA. It was like a caravan. And it was these very actors that were cheering this stuff on. The reason you didn't hear about is because the LA Times didn't print it. In fact, the LA Times is just the mouthpiece in print for the rich. Because of these actors, in 4 blocks known as skid row, a population of 15,000 homeless went to 60,000 in a matter of 1 year. They would go down to Skid Row and have their picture taken as they were giving cold water to the homeless. Then, that was it. All of these so-called "Christian" churches would have the homeless stay with them. They were running out of everything...Supplies...Not the homeless. Now picture this. At the Union Mission, the oldest and most respected, they built two floors that with one large, open room, each room the size of a football field. They put in many, many cots. There were no walls. Then COVID-19 came. So, one night, 6 of the men, sleeping on cots, close quarters, no walls, over 200 of them in one room on one floor each, started coughing. The Union Mission people being so close to God and doing the Godly thing, immediately took them to the hospitals. Did you really look at the last word. They did not take all 6 to the same hospital. No. They divided them up and they farmed them to six different hospitals in a 150 mile radius. Sound strange. The best yet to come...Are you starting to feel better now? Good.....Anyway... They took them to 6 different hospitals because each hospital had their own server that kept all the information on the patients. They knew the hospitals and knew that they were not tied into the same database so they could never be traced to the same place.....Hey!!!... I rhymed.....You OK?..... Why? You may be asking. Oh ye, of little faith...be patient....I like a very profound climax......Anyway.... They went back to the holiest of hollies, the Mecca of the starry-eyed girls with short, short skirts and big, big smiles, who were doing community service before they lept into politics and elective office, SKID ROW......The wife of a wealthy movie executive in LA who would have her picture taken as she was handing one of the homeless bottled water....I mean, what a Diva, what charity, what haute cou·ture...Why is she spraying that man?... She wanted the award for Grand Dame of Belaire and her husband figured that bottled water only cost about $500 at the most instead of the usual $50,000 at some non-tax deductable charity auction. Plus, when The Grand Dame was handing out water, he was handing out something to his girlfriend and it wasn't water...I can assure you of that.... About a week after Coronavirus came into the Sacred Union Mission, the men were let in and dinner was served and then they laid their heads down and went to sleep. The next morning, they were up ready to go into the world, the homeless world, and they do have their world. They also have their own laws, their own thugs..Oh sorry, Police....their Judges...and their own courts...and when it is time for you to be found guilty...They sentence you regardless of whether or not they were hallucinating that day from too much meth..,..No, not psychiatric issues...Meth issues..... That morning when they left, the Angels of Skid Row spent the day walking the walk, talking the talk, buying the dope, selling the dope, then getting high on the last of dope....Yes, they had business and definite routine. I mean they are more organized than the Members of the Board of Directors of Alphabet...You know..Google. Well, in the late afternoon, they went back to Union Mission because the Hollies of the Gospel at Union Mission told them that God loved them even though they MADE MISTAKES. But when they arrived at the Union Mission...THE DOORS WERE LOCKED. Yes, the Hollies of Union Mission were forever gathering the bounty for the Lord. This bounty came from the U.S. Treasury Department. Yes it did.... to pay for the Homeless who were now the anointed of God and all wanted to be a part of and help the Anointed of God and the US Government with Mrs. Nancy Pelosi in the lead, gave and gave generously each and every month. Because of a President named Richard Nixon who took us off the Gold Standard because the "Frogs" were, once again, trying to annihilate us, commanded that our dollar would always be based on the Good Faith of the American people....Hey! Can you run footage of Portland again....I want to see the Good Faith of the Americans in action...... They had left that morning, locking the doors. And I have absolutely no doubt their suitcases were stuffed with the Good Faith of the American people. They left for God's home. You know, God's home in California... You know, "Namyo Ho Renge Kyo" with Spaceships, and Mountains and crystals and minerals and chimes and stones being rolled all over your body with luscious oils.... You know....Typical California.... The Hollies knew it was only a matter of days before the Feds showed up. And those boys from DC ain't scared of Mayor "Yoga Pants" Garcetti or the Wrath of God. So the Holiest of the Hollies decided to get out of Dodge with the "Good Faith of the American People" right along side them. Tell me....How do you feel? Do you have anything to be ashamed of? I doubt it. Smile. Hang out. Enjoy good company. Really love someone. And just let God's Hollies do the dirty work. OK? Justice may be what you seek, Kemosabe. Come on Tonto, It's coming. It's on its way for everyone. Hi-Yo Silver, Away!

I was 6 at the time as well, living in the Detroit area. I remember the events of the JFK assassination as if they were yesterday.

My father, who worked the afternoon shift at GM, drove me over. I got out of the car and went inside. He parked the car and went inside to see my grandparents. My grandmother greeted him at the door with "The President has been shot." Startled, he said, "Who? Kennedy?" Then I remember all of us standing around the television and my father saying "if he has been shot in the head, he probably will not live." He had to go to work. That entire weekend, there was nothing on television except coverage of the funeral. I remember the flag-draped casket in the Rotunda, Jackie and Caroline kneeling before it, JFK Jr's salute, the riderless horse, the folding of the flag, and the eternal flame. It has been 59 years, and I was only 6 at the time, but it seems like yesterday.

[@jryecart8017]

@@jb-vb8un Eisenhower proposed, fought for and signed the Civil Rights Act of 1957-the first civil rights legislation in 82 years. The president presented the comprehensive bill in his 1957 State of the Union address. Contrary to the popular myth that Senate majority leader Lyndon B. Johnson’s backroom dealing saved the Civil Rights Act from defeat, the bill was not Johnson’s triumph; it was Eisenhower’s. Johnson led Southern senators in a fight against a provision that empowered the attorney general to sue in federal court to protect a broad range of civil rights, including school desegregation. The legislation established the Civil Rights Commission and the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, which have publicized and prosecuted civil rights violations ever since. Eisenhower had broken the Southern stranglehold on civil rights legislation and, with passage of a voting rights act in 1960, set the stage for the groundbreaking legislation of 1964-65. Eisenhower also refused to appoint known segregationists to the lower federal courts. In an attempt to depoliticize the appointment process, the president and Attorney General Brownell moved it from the White House to the Justice Department and instituted American Bar Association assessment of potential nominees. When Brownell left office in 1957, Eisenhower continued to appoint pro-desegregation judges in the South. DEMOCRAT President John F. Kennedy, in contrast, returned to appointing segregationists. As a result, the civil rights movement migrated from the courts to the streets. For decades, historians have assumed, thanks to the important legislation passed in 1964-65, that John F. Kennedy and Lyndon V Johnson were the era’s great civil rights leaders and that Eisenhower failed to “speak out” on the issue. But Ike’s record speaks for itself. JFK and LBJ did not commit to the cause until 1963, when horrific violence in the South compelled them to. It is time, finally, to bury the myth that Ike did nothing on civil rights. In the 1950s, Dwight Eisenhower was more progressive in advancing African-American civil rights than Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy or Lyndon Johnson.

It was QUITE a Big Deal for a President to come to Fort Worth in those days, as most would go to Houston or Dallas. I was watching Cartoons with a babysitter on the couch, when they broke in with a Bulletin, that Pres. Kennedy had been shot. Not 3 minutes later, the phone rang. My babysitter answered it.

Then she sold herself to that ugly, old Greek guy Aristotle Onassis, soon after she married Onassis the only male son of Onassis was killed in a plane crash,, then her own son John Kennedy Jr was killed too in another plane crash, she herself died still young at 64, that woman was a cursed one.

Amen to that. Johnson was a monster, and arrogantly (and lacking wisdom) got America into an unwinnable war in Vietnam that didn't end until about ten years after JFK was murdered... a murder in which I (along with millions of others) will always believe Johnson had a hand. He hated JFK and also hated being second banana (VP)... he had coveted the presidency his entire political career... and I believe he seized it through conspiracy and assassination that fateful day in Dallas. There was definitely a coordinated crossfire in Dealey Plaza and many enemies of the president were involved, probably including CIA man (and future president) George H.W. Bush.

We didn't have Johnson for eight years. He finished Kennedy's term, then one term of his own, and then refused to run for a second term. He was in office for a total of five years and two months.

I was walking home from school that day, saw my father driving up Union Road. I stopped his car, ran out to it and told him the news. I can still see his shocked facial expression and hear his words, “Aww, hell!” He then turned on the car radio. I credit JFK with my lifelong dedication to physical fitness. Today I have walked 5+ miles so far. He made me a believer in not being just a spectator and developing vigah! Thanks to John and Robert Kennedy, Biggah has vigah!

I tried to be cheerful and engaging but we both knew what I was thinking. Then he told me what he was thinking about the unpredictability of life in his family. Sad. How different our worlds might have been, if they both had lived and fulfilled what should have been their destinies.

[@wholeNwon]

@@marksesl Physical things I remember about JFK were that he was far more photogenic than his real appearance might have led one to expect. He walked leaning slightly forward, likely due to his back injury. His head was relatively large with a very prominent forehead. Though it was winter, his complexion was very dark, perhaps due to addison's disease. It was cold but he wore only a suit despite having been offered a topcoat. He was smoking a cigar and put it lighted into his suit jacket pocket! When he smiled, his upper teeth protruded slightly and were prominent. Secret Service protection seemed casual to me even at the time. With successors whom I've met at social affairs, protection has been far more intense, of course. More effective? I don't know. Events would suggest otherwise.
