This is a photo I took on my recent trip to Texas. This is the backyard on Neely Street in Dallas where Marina took the famous photo of Lee Harvey Oswald in March 1963 holding the rifle he used to kill JFK 8 months later. Amazingly, that duplex is still there and looks essentially the same. I did not trespass. There is an alley next to the property and you can see the backyard. And contrary to the conspiracy enthusiasts, the photo was not faked or altered. Here is a link to a study from Dartmouth College (an Ivy League university) stating: "Our analysis refutes purported evidence of manipulation in the Oswald photo". https://home.dartmouth.edu/news/2015/10/settling-controversy-over-photo-lee-harvey-oswald

--- In my podcast History Analyzed, I did a 2 part series proving (yes, proving) Oswald killed JFK and acted alone.

--- 1791: Future president James Buchanan was born in Cove Gap, Pennsylvania. Buchanan is the only president that was never married. Some have speculated that he may have been gay. Nobody really knows. There is no conclusive evidence one way or the other. But there is evidence that he was a terrible president who did nothing while seven states seceded from the union. He simply left it to Abraham Lincoln to deal with the impending civil war.

Johnson was clearly being seen as the standard-bearer for Kennedy’s agenda, his approval rating was high, he was a fierce & experienced campaigner & politician, and Kennedy’s death cast a pall over that election.

Obviously it was not gonna be Barry Goldwater, but I think Nixon was smart to stay out of that election. Perhaps not even the generally popular Nelson Rockefeller could’ve won, especially with his divorce scandal tarnishing his reputation further with more traditional/conservative folks.

If anyone could have, who would it have been?

Maybe Bobby Kennedy, but he was not as established yet as an individual, and was still Johnson’s AG.

--- 1999: Columbine High School massacre. In Columbine, Colorado, 2 high school students murdered 12 students and 1 teacher. Since this was the first of this type of mass shooting, it commanded national attention and outrage. Unfortunately, these mass shootings, especially at schools, have become common place in the U.S.

When did it become customary to stand when the President entered a room? And does that not give off monarchy type vibes because at the end of the day he is a public servant just like the rest of of the executive branch.

I’ve seen on Wikipedia that he transferred control of the oil reserves back to the Department of the Interior but I’m not too sure if that’s credible.

Ok, settle this debate I have with my colleagues. (HS US history teacher here). Was the mandate system actually part of Wilson’s 14 points? Point 5 alludes to it, but it doesn’t use the word “mandate” like the wording out of the League of Nations, leaving me a little confused.

--- "Lincoln was the #1 Reason the Union Won the Civil War". That is the title of an episode of my podcast: History Analyzed. There are many reasons why the Union won the American Civil War: the brilliance of Ulysses S. Grant and William Tecumseh Sherman as generals, the much larger population in the free states, and the industrial capacity of the North. But the number 1 reason the Union won was Abraham Lincoln. His governing style, his fantastic temperament, and his political genius tipped the balance. You can find History Analyzed on every podcast app.

I took this photo on my recent trip to Texas. I was in the Oak Cliff section of Dallas looking at the places where Lee Harvey Oswald lived at the time of the assassination and where he was caught. This is a mural on the side of a barber shop in Oak Cliff; it's Lee Harvey Oswald.

The quote says: "Forgive your enemies but never forget their names”. All over the internet that is attributed to JFK. But I cannot find where or when he supposedly said it.
