| Two Dallas-area buildings once occupied by presidential assassin Lee Harvey Oswald met opposite fates this week. While Irving made a move to restore the home where Oswald spent the night before assassinating John F. Kennedy, Dallas announced that it would demolish the now-derelict apartment complex where Oswald lived with his wife shortly before the murder. Irving Home: 2515 West 5th-Back in December, the Dallas Morning News reported that the city of Irving had purchased the home where Oswald stayed on November 21, 1963 (pictured above). In the sixties, the home belonged to Ruth Paine, a housewife and

The preservation of the homes of infamous persons has never made much sense to me? Why use taxpayer money to create a shrine for the morbid amongst us?

Any home of anyone who assassinated a President - no matter who the President was - should be turned into an open air toilet, with everyone being given the opportunity to do as degrading things as they want to the assassin´s likeness - not preserved.

Don´t think everybody agrees that Oswald killed Kennedy.
Back then, a lot of big, diverse powerful players wanted him to be gone.

Well, for now anyway, Oswald is the guy, the one who assassinated Kennedy. There is no earthly reason to memorialize him by preserving his home as a museum.
Next they´ll be doing the same with the guy who shot up the U of Texas, the Aurora theater, and the school in Newtown.
And on and on and on.

#3, agreed.
Over the decades, we´ve learned much more.
And Oswald himself pointed out he was just a patsy; said he did not shoot anyone.
Hoover and Johnson were both to be replaced.
Kennedy was dumping Johnson for 1964.
Hoover was to be fired in second term.
Neither of them had any use for JFK or Bobby.
Hoover blackmailed JFK to put LBJ onto the ticket in 1960; he had two decades of sex tapes on JFK.
The aborted attempt to kill JFK in Miami the weekend before --
was simply moved to Texas.
JFK´s speaking engagement in Miami on Monday, November 18, 1963 included a motorcade which was canceled due to the assassination plot there.
Shooters from the Florida aborted attempt then drove to Texas for the next
assassination attempt planned for Dallas.
The shooters while in Louisiana picked up a woman on the road.
Told her the plot they were in on.
Then they kicked her out of the car (oddly).
She was taken in by troopers when found, and taken to a mental hospital.
She told everybody what the shooters said.
She was not believed.
This was Thursday, November 21, 1963.
Documented and in the Warren Report.
Hoover and LBJ covered up the plot.
And Oswald, who was never supposed to be taken alive, had to be silenced.
Once the "lone suspect" was dead... case closed; no trial.
The limousine was destroyed (evidence).
The president´s brain disappeared from National Archives.
Original JFK autopsy notes were burned.
LBJ insisted that the Warren whitewash be published by September 1964.
Before the election.
As a former Democrat, I´ve come to accept the reality.
Facts are facts.
Face reality.

So Oswald spent a night there. Big whoop. I can´t imagine anyone who would visit that museum unless as stated above, they were morbid.
I even read somewhere that there was something attached to the dashboard of the presidential limo that fired a shot(s) at Kennedy. See what happens when the gooberment doesn´t put out the truth. We have to draw our own conclusions.

A state panel restored the license of the doctor who is medical director of a group of abortion clinics accused by state regulators of putting women´s health at risk, while the licenses of two other physicians who worked at the clinics remain suspended. The Maryland Board of Physicians this week reinstated the license of Dr. Mansour G. Panah of Associates in OB/GYN Care, saying that evidence he presented at a hearing showed that he poses "no imminent danger to public health or safety." The board, however, upheld the suspension of Dr. Michael A. Basco, another physician

Washington- Gov. Rick Perry of Texas made light at a major gathering of conservatives on Saturday of his sometimes rocky 2012 run for the White House. "I´ve learned a little bit about humility particularly on national television," he quipped to laughter at the Faith and Freedom Coalition´s annual conference, which is one of the largest gatherings of social conservatives. A few lines later in his faith-themed speech, Perry noted a critique of "St. Peter, whose mouth sometimes ran faster than his brain. Let me tell you, I can relate to Peter."

Two small islands of color in a sea of cindered remains, firefighters incredibly managed to protect these houses from the fierce flames of the destructive Black Forest wildfire near Colorado Springs. Yet, while these homes were miraculously saved, nearly 500 other properties have been destroyed and two people have been killed by the worst blaze in Colorado state history. The fire began Tuesday during record-setting heat and tinder-dry conditions. On Friday firefighters advanced, expanding containment lines and lifting evacuation orders for many anxious residents.

Two defendants in military sexual assault cases cannot be punitively discharged, if found guilty, because of “unlawful command influence” derived from comments made by President Barack Obama, a judge ruled in a Hawaii military court this week. Navy Judge Cmdr. Marcus Fulton ruled during pretrial hearings in two sexual assault cases — U.S. vs. Johnson and U.S. vs. Fuentes — that comments made by Obama as commander in chief would unduly influence any potential sentencing, according to a court documents obtained by Stars and Stripes.

GUANTANAMO BAY NAVY BASE, Cuba- Pentagon prosecutors and defense lawyers in the USS Cole death penalty case held the first closed hearing of the Obama war court Friday, a 78-minute secret session that excluded both the public and the accused al-Qaida terrorist. Army Brig. Gen. Mark Martins, the chief prosecutor, disclosed the length of the national security session but gave no details. He said the judge ordered production of a redacted transcript but gave no timetable for release. “There was a secret session.

"There was no evidence that there was any immediate threat to others from your fellow soldiers," Colonel Tara Osborn said, denying Hasan´s request to use the defense as he represents himself at his upcoming trial on 13 counts of first-degree murder.

Hundreds of U.S. Secret Service agents will be dispatched to secure facilities in Senegal, South Africa and Tanzania.

Military cargo planes will airlift in 56 support vehicles, including 14 limousines and three trucks loaded with sheets of bulletproof glass to cover the windows of the hotels

In the midst of the eruption of near-daily scandals involving the Obama administration, let us not forget that until just a few months ago, Hillary Clinton was the most significant persona within that administration besides the president himself. Let us not also forget that notwithstanding the scandal-grenades going off all around us, Mrs. Clinton diligently plans her run for the presidency, even while several of those scandals are obviously and entirely her responsibility, exposing the State Department during her tenure as an utter sewer of corruption, cronyism, and fatal incompetence.

Washington- Syria has crossed a "red line" with its use of chemical weapons, including the nerve agent sarin gas, against rebels, a move that is prompting the United States to increase the "scale and scope" of its support for the opposition, the White House said Thursday. The acknowledgment is the first time President Barack Obama´s administration has definitively said what it has long suspected -- that President Bashar al-Assad´s forces have used chemical weapons in the ongoing civil war. "The intelligence community estimates that 100 to 150 people have died from detected chemical weapons attacks in Syria

N ot long ago, conservatives like myself were thrilled to find out that Fox News, often portrayed as the mouthpiece of the conservative movement, had parted ways with former governor of Alaska (and quitter) Sarah Palin. This was truly a cause for celebration. Those of us devoted to building a conservative movement capable of winning elections had come to view the former governor as the symbol of everything, and I do mean everything, wrong with the modern conservative movement. But now, Roger Ailes has rehired her. And in so doing, Ailes has issued a painful reminder that he cares far more

Over the years, I’ve read plenty of claims that we’re witnessing a “crackup” of liberals or conservatives (or sometimes both at the same time). Normally, I react by rolling my eyes. For me, “crackup” claims are a almost always hack way of expressing unjustified triumphalism. But now I think I see a crackup. Given the scandal-a-week Obama administration, you might think that the crackup, if any, is looming on the left. But that would be to ignore the left’s tendency to march more or less in lockstep through any scandal or storm. No, the crackup I see coming is among conservatives.

When asked about the situation, CBS News responded with a statement that it was conducting an investigation.... “A cyber security firm hired by CBS News has determined through forensic analysis that Sharyl Attkisson’s computer was accessed by an unauthorized, external, unknown party on multiple occasions late in 2012. Evidence suggests this party performed all access remotely using Attkisson’s accounts. While no malicious code was found, forensic analysis revealed an intruder had executed commands that appeared to involve search and exfiltration of data.
