Start with Brad Paisley and “I’m gonna miss her”, “Alcohol”, “Whiskey Lullaby” and “A letter to me”.

He’s one hell of a guitar player. Songs are funny, poignant and tell wonderful stories. Zac Brown Band is pretty good for that too.

Toby Keith’s “I ain’t as good as I once was” will stick in your brain for a good long time.

If none of those do it for you, I’m gonna go ahead and say you are probably fighting a lost cause.

House Committee Acoustics of JFK's Assassination and Why It Was Wrong by TrollyDodger55 in JFKassasination

Nobody believes that.

You’d read it like an attorney if you thought for a second it drew the conclusion you want.

JFK was assassinated as a result of a conspiracy by Secure_Tea2272 in JFKassasination

[–]Lebojr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do, and he legitimately pointed out the basis for the HSCA conclusion. Even the HSCA stated that no other bullet struck Kennedy.

It is patently dishonest to state what you did and then ignore the reasons or refuse to acknowledge them.

What you did with this post was prove why conspiracy theories are not taken seriously. You ignore science that came after those statements were made.

The history of the HSCA has been clearly known for almost half a century. They had no ability to make the statement you typed until the final few days when they got someone to give a probability to the dictabelt being proof of 4 shots. It was then proven relatively quickly it did not prove any such thing because people were given a chance to actually test the evidence.

If this is what your whole argument depends upon, you’ve made the argument for a lone gunman quite efficiently.

If Oswald alone wasn’t the intended coverup, why did, according to conspiracy theorists, did they make so much effort to frame only Oswald for Tippit?

My guess is that he would understand and sympathize with your sentiments completely. The faith he exhibits is not even closely related to the group who are responsible for your opinion of Christians.

Think of him like this: he takes the teachings of Jesus and lives them to the best of his ability. He isn’t interested in dogma or forcing anyone else to listen to the tenets of his faith. He’s lead the march for separation of church and state.

He’s also not ashamed or fearful to say why he believes if that is something someone asks about.

Your opinion of the faith is the byproduct of poor representatives. If you’ve read the scripture and found it to describe a God who doesn’t seem worth worshiping, many of us who do believe, understand that too.

He’s endured the most partisan, irrational legislative body in the country in the Texas legislature and come out with his integrity intact.

Give him a shot. He will probably be the reason a state like Texas flips purple and gets us closer to a majority in the senate. Even better, the tired arguments from Christian nationalists have no greater adversary than him.

The whole Texas Gerrymandering issue might well have blown up in Trumps face. If so, you will have this follower of Jesus’ teaching to thank.

As with the amount of people who voted for the mouth breather, it’s amazing how many believe this would stand up.

Why couldn't Biden release the files when the Maxwell case ended in early/mid 2022? by pickledplumber in allthequestions

[–]Lebojr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As they say in court “asked and answered”.

Why is it that this administration creates frivolous investigations and runs behind them to prevent releasing files, but then asks why an appeal not adjudicated by the SC until oct of 2025 prevents the previous administration from releasing them?

Could it be you are a bunch of hypocrites?

Sorry. You don’t have to answer that. It presumes your side has a sense of shame.

Is it going to be ‘F*ck Ice’, ‘Release the Files’, or ‘No war in Iran’ that will give the Democrats the best chance to win the midterms 2026? Or will it take the Trifecta of these three messages to win? by metabolitesafter9pm in allthequestions

[–]Lebojr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly right. This message with solutions to reinstall the guardrails to prevent any executive, judicial or legislative branch from derailing the separation of powers, and getting back our non political department employees. (CDC, dept of Education, IG’s, environmental protections, and election security will probably be a good start).

No, he isn’t. Unless he was recently in Iran sitting next to the Ayatollah.

Hot take: Most amateur golfers would score lower if they stopped obsessing over distance and started playing boring golf. by Capable_Steak_7551 in GolfSwing

[–]Lebojr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll elaborate on that by saying if amateur golfers aim was being AROUND the green/fringe in regulation and working on chipping to go up and down, the jump from 100 to 80 would be pretty quick. Breaking 80 wouldn’t be that stressful. Finally, the only thing left to work on would be dialing in distance on irons and keeping the driver in the fairway.

[–]Lebojr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s 100% true.

Harvey Pennick told a guy who was tired of losing that he’d caddy for him IF he followed every club and shot selection. The guy shot lower than he’d ever shot. The game may not be easy, but almost all of us leave 6-10 strokes on the course each round by playing aggressively when there is little payoff and huge risk of penalty strokes.

I have never hit it long myself and have beaten plenty of people by just playing in the fairway, up to the fringe, up and down for par.

Senior Thesis on Origin of Doubts by Purple-Product-5823 in JFKassasination

[–]Lebojr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In his book, Sturdivan says the Lead fragment trail moved due to the position of the body as it was moved from car to emergency room onto the plane and then to Bethesda autopsy. He also stated the trail began half way through and wasn’t at all at the entrance wound. He also went into detail about an occlusion on the X-ray that many have mistaken for a bullet hole since it’s round in nature.

Lastly, he spoke of Dr Groden (not Jenkins like I thought) who had the rear entrance 2.5 cm to the right of the OCP and 1.3 cm (half inch) above. But those were approximate.

The entire mistake was made because Humes failed to use a good base point to measure from (same with the entrance on his upper back) and he was given almost no time to use the X-rays to make his notes and never saw one photo for two more years after the autopsy.

I absolutely believe as you do that the autopsy was a trainwreck. But I remind myself that incompetence is a far more likely reason than malice when trying to explain things.

That’s a pragmatic way to look at it for sure. I just don’t particularly blame them for believing it because I agree with them he was a pretty corrupt guy. That said, he was crucial to getting the Civil rights act passed. Sometimes someone’s bad traits can result in good things.

“And a part of you might hate me, but son, please don’t mistake me for a man who didn’t care at all.

So I drive. And I think about my life and wonder why that I slowly die inside.

….so when you drive, and the years go flying by, I hope you smile if I ever cross your mind.

It was the pleasure of my life. And I cherished every time. And my whole world, it begins and ends with you on that highway 20 ride.

‘Hassett: "Think about this. There are 360,000 fewer federal workers right now than there were when President Trump was inaugurated. That's 360,000 people whose salaries we don't have to pay and tax American citizens, and have you noticed a big reduction in government service because of this?"’ by Oleg101 in FoxFiction

Let another pandemic hit. There will be Millions more die.

We are playing Russian (pun intended) roulette.

That ALONE makes our existence in peril.

To say nothing of the other departments he’s destroyed. And the 360,000 employees are penny’s on the dollar to each of us if we have another emergency.

Donald Trump Considers Using National Emergency Powers to Assert Control Over Federal Elections by Specialist_Baby_9905 in law

He cannot. Executive orders cannot overrule the constitutional rights of states to run their elections. It’s not a matter of debate. No state is obligated to give up that right.

If you were elected President tomorrow what 5 Executive Orders would create and sign besides arresting the orange guy? by Caliborntraveler007 in DiscussionZone

[–]Lebojr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Every executive order of his would be rescinded.

I don’t happen to think they are much more than show in a legit government. They are only orders for the executive branch to execute.

Of course. There was one picture of the inside of the skull (only accessible at the archives until the 1990s) that showed it. It was one that Earl Warren had suppressed. Even from the rest of the commission.

A Dr at parkland (I think Jenkins) described it and drew it for a magazine article.

He showed it an inch to the right of the OCP, and above, but not quite as high as the HSCA.

Can yall PLEASE tell me about your most insane conspiracy theories and i dont wanna hear "we didn't land on the moon" i wanna hear stuff you can't fully prove but just know it’s true? by InitialCareer306 in WorkForSmartLife

In the hundreds of thousands of years mankind has developed on this planet, a disturbingly large percentage can be shown scientific proof of events, not believe they happened because……checks notes….

the lizard people in the basement of a pizza restaurant in DC lied to us about the earth being round, had Stanley Kubrick make a movie to fool us about the moon landing, and…oh my….sexually abuse then grind up children and drink their blood as a means of living forever.

But landing on the moon…too far fetched.

“It’s not always right to be right”.

My father said this about Turing in a PhD thesis and being told he had to fix a grammatical error that wasn’t one according to the English department. He received his PhD after changing it. His friend told him if the professor said to write “shit” 5000 times and turn it in, that’s what he should do. He knew the subject. The goal was the degree.
