Thanksgiving Thanks to the Reverend Al Sharpton and The Jesus Christ Show

Always listening to the news--television and radio......

It is easy to get inspiration from Al Sharpton and the Jesus Christ Show.

They have that certain something...not just about certain facts or current politics--we agree on most of those points.

It's is easy to find inspiration and hope from these two just on a daily basis, just about the trial and tribulations in personal life.

Strength and hope--it's nice to turn on Reverend Al Sharpton and just get the general message--strength and hope given and taken.

Every Sunday morning the Jesus Christ show explains the Bible without yelling and condemnation--again the message of goodness.

On Thanksgiving--being grateful--two very nice and helpful messengers in life--thank your for your time and hard work.

Your message is well take  and appreciated.

Beautiful thougts from JFK researcher Larry Hancock

Thoughts from the 50th Annivesary by Larry Hancock I'm just back from several days in Dallas and as promised will offer some observations, however my first thoughts are rather personal and also rather unanticipated.  It being Thanksgiving week here in the United States, they do seem appropriate to me, although they will be a great contrast to what you normally see me post. These thoughts are based in several recent observations from significant figures, including Robert Kennedy Jr., Kathleen McCarthy (a cousin of JFK) and Secretary of State Kerry.  Basically it appears that as of the anniversary (although both RFK Jr. and Kathleen McCarthy have commented on this earlier), it is now becoming more widely accepted that there were were some major issues with the Warren Commission inquiry and its report and that despite of Kennedy family comments of the time, even the family itself was of the view that there had likely been more to the assassination than was portrayed in the Warren Report.  Even the most conservative remarks of the last week or so, from John Kerry, have offered the view that the assassination remains an open subject and deserves further attention.  OK, that's all good, what is not all good is that a number of other quotable media sources have acknowledged the same thing but essentially concluded that "we can never know" so we might as well drop it and go forward - a view reflected in the official ceremonial speeches in Dallas last Friday. I'll grant that may be an honest position, one that produces honest remarks. But it reminds me of a college class where a professor listened to me give an "acceptable" answer to his question and then remarked that it was indeed correct on one level but displayed very little thought on my part, was simply too simple for the question at hand and that he thought I could do much better if I really put some work into it rather than give him an answer that the question really demanded.  After getting into a snit and trying to drop the class - which he would not sign off on - he proved to be without doubt my most significant mentor during over five years of university study and I came to understand his response that a superficially satisfactory answer is not necessarily an acceptable one. I find the "well we can't know now, lets accept that and look to the future rather than the past argument" unacceptable for a great many reasons, some objective and fact based and others much more subjective and personal.  The objective and factual response are very much in play and with the 50th anniversary of the WC Report coming up next year are going to continue to receive my attention.  The personal reason is much more immediate to me at the moment so I'm going to get it off my chest now...those of you who don't like subjective thoughts or emotional positions should probably bail out about this point. In Dallas,  I was asked to give brief remarks at the conference banquet.  Amazingly to some I was brief.  The gist of the remarks was simply that as a matter of historical certainty, we now know that if President Kennedy had not exercised the leadership that he did during the Cuban missile confrontation, if he had chosen the tempting knee-jerk reaction of air strikes on missile sites, full scale engagement with Soviet submarines or troop landings in Cuba, it almost certainly would have triggered full scale combat, in Cuba including Soviet use of tactical atomic weapons and very probably launch of missiles from unidentified sites (the Generals thought they had all of them located, JFK was skeptical, JFK was correct - the Genrals were not even aware of the half dozen short range tactical nukes that had been covertly moved directly to attack the American base at Guantanamo).  In what would  have followed I most likely  would not be alive at this point nor would most of my generation.  And very likely civilization as we know it today would be largely defunct - the American targeting plan for any nuclear engagement involved a full scale reaction against Russia, its allies and China. When I read a number of the snide remarks which appeared last week stating that it was not really necessary to worry too much about the Kennedy anniversary because of his personal foibles and the fact that his Administration really was not Camelot, I wonder...have those people forgotten that in a single terrible week, against virtually all the pressure on him, President Kennedy almost certainly saved their lives?  Have they never heard the concept of "debt of honor" - perhaps not, such things are terribly old fashioned today, very much out of style and certainly I heard little of that expressed even in the official anniversary remarks in Dallas.  Perhaps it was too personal, perhaps it would be uncomfortable to acknowledge much less put into words.  Well I admit I'm pretty old fashioned - not to mention pretty old - but I do remember it and I do feel it and in that regard alone I find the "we can't ever know so lets get on with it" view totally  unacceptable. Now none of this is relevant or even of any concern to those who are fully satisfied with the official Warren Report view of the world, that's fine, its not their issue.  And it may simply make me look terribly emotional and rather ancient.  But for some reason, at this particular moment, that really does not trouble me.  On the other hand, unpaid debts always have. -- Larry Larry Hancock | November 25, 2013 at 4:12 pm | Categories: Everything else | URL:http://wp.me/p1DeOb-65 copied from the websie of Larry Hancock...here is a link to the page: http://larryhancock.wordpress.com/2013/11/25/thoughts-from-the-50th-annivesary/

Larry--thank your for those lovely words--actually, they are quite inspirational to me.  

That is part of it isn't it--Kennedy was such a complex figure.  

Personally, I do not know why everyone does not put the greatest mystery of our century in the forefront 24/7.  But, right now I am worn out from the thing, as well.  The recent information in the Boston Globe concerning the statements and suspicions of RFK was refreshing--finally.  

I really appreciate your hard and tedious work--I could never do it.  I want to thank all of the hard working JFK researchers.  

I do want to know the answer--obviously it is there somewhere--it would be nice if the government would cooperate.  

I guess I was originally inspired by Harold Weisberg.  The thing is if we are to accept the lone gun Oswald theory then that would mean that all of those other facts out there, all of those other average citizens and esteemed researchers are wrong.  

That does not make sense.  Once something does not make sense I am hooked on figuring it out.  

Now we know there were those teams of Cuban exiles and CIA/mob groups that in fact worked together on assassinations--that cannot be denied now by even the O"Reilly and Bugliosi types--well, it is really not that big of leap to the next step.  I am just saying it is not an outrageous thought anymore is it?

Thank you again, Larry, for all of your hard work--It is my dream to make the conference next year and go on your tour.......cl

Hey Boys, Mrs. Sarah Palin is Talking Now!

While my politics are opposite of Ms. Palin I support her right to say her opinion in the media just like all of the big mouth men.  Bill, Martin and Chris Matthews are so busy congratulating themselves on their own intellect they fail to realize that Sarah has out smarted them all.  She is a media manager to rival the likes of Princess Diana.  Guess what, boys, you are busy groveling after her and asking for her attention.  Who is in the media now.  Oh, and don't forget the biggest fool of all, Bill Maher.

Talking about Bill O'Reilly complaining to Howie Kurtz that Mrs. Palin will not do his show.....

Chris Matthews, holier than thou, can't get the guts to answer.......

MSNBC’s Chris Matthews weighs in on Martin Bashir fiasco. Sort of.

• BY ERIK WEMPLE

• November 23 at 12:23 pm

Martin Bashir, in 2007 (Nick Ut/Associated Press)

Put Chris Matthews before a Washington audience, and the guy can riff on a lot of topics. In an appearance yesterday at Barnes & Noble in downtown D.C. to promote his book “Tip and the Gipper: When Politics Worked,” Matthews talked congressional elections, presidential elections, President Kennedy — not to mention the media. On the topic of Fox News and Rupert Murdoch, the cable host said no one really takes too seriously the “fair and balanced” slogan. However: “They believe it’s balancing the rest of the media. And so there’s a sense among the right — it’s still there — if you’re not on the right, you’re a liberal. So if you look like you’re just sort of reading the news, you’re a liberal, unless you['ve] got their attitude. And so, I think that’s the residue of years and years of liberal domination of the mainstream press, which I think is pretty near an end. … I don’t know where Diane Sawyer’s politics are. I don’t know what Brian Williams’s politics are. Or Scott Pelley’s, if he has any. I don’t know what it is. Tell me if you can tell. I can’t tell. I think [George] Stephanopoulos has played it down the middle.”

Moments later, the Erik Wemple Blog* asked Matthews about this week’s MSNBC-centric media news. Martin Bashir, an afternoon host at MSNBC, apologized on Monday to viewers after having suggested that Sarah Palin be subjected to a cruel treatment once forced upon slaves. Palin had previously compared the burdens of public debt to slavery.

The contrite words of Bashir didn’t diminish calls within the media-critic industry for more accountability from MSNBC’s leadership. So we thought we’d ask Matthews about it all. The back and forth:

EWB: Do you have any comments about the trouble that Martin Bashir got himself in?

Matthews: Not really. I work in that company. I don’t have any comment on it. I can understand that you’d ask the question, but I work for MSNBC.

EWB: Well, it’s just a question, though. I mean, he’s a colleague, he said something. You have opinions. You’d have an opinion if someone else worked at another network…

Matthews: I’m not a media critic.

EWB: Oh, yes you are.

Matthews: No, I’m not…He’s a colleague of mine.

We’ll keep an eye out for the next time Matthews hammers some cowardly politician for closing ranks. The noteworthy aspect of Matthews’ dodge is how unnecessary it is. He could easily proclaim that his colleague’s remarks were wholly unacceptable — that they were neither accurate nor fair. Those were the very terms, after all, that Bashir himself used in his apology.

*(Though we didn’t disclose our affiliation with the Erik Wemple Blog, Matthews was speaking at a public event.)

Geraldo Radio News

He is one of the few, if not only, radio hosts that can give his opinion and let others talk about both sides of the issue without yelling and anger. He does not intimidate the caller and that is very refreshing in talk radio today. Often callers voice their ideas as if they are old friends, agree or disagree. Not to mention he has all of the big politicians who seem happy to talk about their current issue. Repub or Dem, it is one of the best shows on radio today to be informed on both sides of the fence and Geraldo is a gifted talker. Listening to the radio every morning--the San Diego morning experience was getting far too nauseating at a rapid pace--that has ended and now we have Merrill and Linda on KOGO who are talented and enjoyable. KOGO--2 hours in San Diego and Geraldo 2 hours in New York--interesting, informative and a good combo.

Rivera's radio show will launch Jan. 1, 2014. | AP Photo

By MACKENZIE WEINGER | 11/25/13 6:07 AM EST

Geraldo Rivera’s radio show will no longer be nationally syndicated in 2014 and will be heard only on the airwaves in New York City.

Rivera’s radio show has been nationally syndicated since August 2012, but Cumulus Media announced on Monday that the host will now have a live program “exclusively” on New York City’s 77 WABC starting next year. The radio show — focused on New York City, Rivera’s hometown — will launch Jan. 1, 2014, and air weekdays from 10 a.m. to noon EST on 77 WABC and online.

Rivera, who is also with Fox News, first signed onto WABC radio in January 2012. A few weeks later, he also began hosting a separate live show for Los Angeles’s KABC before Cumulus Media Networks took “Geraldo” national on over 40 stations in August of that year.

The new “Geraldo,” billed as a local radio show for the NYC market, will “focus on the most talked about topics involving the nation’s largest city — everything from social issues to politics,” Cumulus announced in a press release. “Rivera will also continue his fight against unemployment by broadcasting live from upcoming ‘Put Americans Back to Work’ job expos and events hosted by Cumulus.”

Rivera said in a statement that the move will allow him to take an in-depth look at the issues facing New York City.

“For the last four decades, in war and peace I’ve been chasing the news around the world. But there’s a universe of stories right here in my hometown,” Rivera said. “Energized and excited by this opportunity, I’m taking our show to the four corners of the five boroughs. I’ll be on the streets and in the face of lawbreakers and newsmakers, ready with a hot mike and a helping hand.”

Cumulus co-COO and executive vice president John Dickey added that “we are excited that one of the most recognized and respected names in media will be sharing his perspectives on New York issues and supporting local causes that matter most to listeners in one of our top markets.”

When Rivera’s nationally syndicated show was announced in June 2012, Dickey stated that “we had a hunch there’d be national substantial listener interest in his incisive and insightful style, and now we’re thrilled that with Geraldo such a success in those two markets the show will now be available across the country.”

In 2014, ”Geraldo” will be on 77 WABC and also streamed online.
