What is in the back of every researcher's mind into the Kennedy Assination is that if Paul Landis' account is 100% accurate, it brings up the annoying possible explanation that the bullet had been already discreetly placed there to embelish the story of a lone assasin, before Kennedy was even in the limosine and in the motorcade. It was planted there before the assasination.

@percybyssheshelly GGGGGGGGGreat to hear from you. The former secret service agent makes no mention of hearing shots from the grassy knoll where James Files claims it was him with his Remington Fireball who when he saw that Kennedy was still not hit, aimed at Kennedy's right eye just as the president moved and it caught him in his right temple. There was also a bullet that hit the base of the front windshield and probably more, but Johnson had the limosine destryed only 2 weeks after the assasination. Interestingly, Johnson can be seen ducking down in his own limo behind the Kennedy car before the shooting started.

Dear Mr Todd and Mr Schiff, Thank you Mr Todd for your hard-hitting questions that always get right to the heart of the matter. Thank you Mr Schiff for putting a face on courage and to stand up to a president who has overstepped his oath of office. You are someone the whole world admires as a concerned citizen. As an overseas viewer, please excuse my lack of perspective on the topic of President Trump’s trail of corruption, but shouldn’t something be put in place, an amendment to your constitution that allows for a president to be obliged to step down the instant that the national interests of your country are in danger of being transgressed? Night after night we hear of actions by President Trump that even people who are not American scratch their heads and wonder how someone so clearly in it for his own interests gets a free pass to do and say just about anything without any worry of getting caught or going to jail or being punished by the law. No; what we see is a person able to trash his country, put American’s in danger, say the most outrageous and inaccurate things and then get up the next day and do it all again. You must amend your Constitution because the founders could not imagine that a president who operates with his own legal system i.e. corrupt beyond any doubt, could be voted in to a world in the digital age where a make-believe president can be superimposed on the national consciousness as being acceptable, even though he is only a media wizard playing president without anyone noticing the difference. It's an opinion. Be well.

The Russian media published all the names of people and how many who died and where they were going and that Patriot missiles took it down in literally minutes after it crashed. Aviation experts say it takes days to understand and make analyses before you know how it crashed etc.

As an overseas viewer and someone never having served in the military, I think people have to realize that America and her allies have done the best they could in trying to bring some form of stability to the graveyard of empires as it has been called: Afghanistan. What 20 years has done is give the mindset of the Afghan people time to look into their society and and themselves and try to make some kind of a nation they can believe in. Now the Taliban are back with medieval rule, but they can never take back what America and her allies blood and treasure and personal sacrifices have given the wonderful people of Afghanistan: a new perspective on what kind of a life they want to live. The Taliban are already hacking off hands of thieves and stoning adulterers and murderers, but my guess is that this is all being taken in discreetly by the Afghan's. But there's a new line in the sand now, we'll have to see what it is that makes them stand up and fight for their country and throw the bums out. Lastly, Can we ask Lt. General, U.S. Army (Ret.) H.R. McMaster where is the outrage in seeing that inexperienced and young troops were on the front lines of the evacuation effort? No battle-hardened soldiers of any stripe were in the casualties. Higher-ups knew the extreme danger and they put kids out of boot camp as the buffer force. Why? It looks bad from where we are on the other side of the world from you. Where were the experienced soldiers who could smell danger a mile away?

I live 2,000 kilometers from Kiev. Our city is beginning to take in hundreds of refugees. The images from the liberated villages, towns and cities are catastrophic. To see a wonderful city like Sacremento California and people gunned down after having a night out makes me sick. But I work on solutions. What can you do in your great country to change this type of recurrent scene that is a blight on your great nation's legacy. This is where freedom has been highjacked by technology. Here's the immediate solution. Night clubs, bars and discos and anywhere people go for entertainment must have armed guards at the exits of these establishments. It's going to cost a pretty penny, but it's going to make gang members think thrice before pulling a stunt like the one we are seeing on our television screens. People who will use guns on other people can only be dealt with by having people with equal firepower standing guard. The downside is that it looks bad; the upside is that a lot of jobs will open up. People will also not be so afraid to go out anymore. That's only phase one. New ideas will come. We've got to make sure gunmen have to go through a maze to get to their next multiple victims event and if they do make it through, someone will be waiting there to stop them.

With all due respect for the American Senator from Kentucky, Senator Rand Pual, Simon Jenkins from the Guardian, one of the finest English commentary writers of our time, said that an iron maxim of war is to imagine what the enemy most wants you to do, and not do it. A North American Indian proverb says to take everything that comes at you as a lesson; learn fast and move on. I believe this advice is all the Ukrainian President and the Ukrainian armed forces need in order to keep fighting and stay alive and eventually win back their captured territory. War outcomes cannot be predicted; in looking ahead it seems impossible to see how things will work out on paying the money the Ukraine’s broken economy can no longer provide month after month. It's normal for Senator Paul to question America's generous contribution, but it also gives the enemy the solution for winning the war: time. So; why not use 24-hour increments as the most realistic way forward in this dangerous confrontation between a super power pulling out all the stops and a sovereign nation reeling from 24/7 bombings and missile attacks? Let’s quit predicting when the war will end or when the Ukrainians will have this or that weapon system, because what they’ve got today is all that matters. They have to use what they have on hand. Telling the Ukrainians weapons systems are on the way is frustrating enough with the enemy advancing from every direction, but we’ve got to get this war into bite-sized chunks instead of looking at a long, protracted war that could go on for years, which is depressing and frankly, looks incredibly expensive from this vantage point. To recap: What I think must be done is to look at the war no further than the 24 hour time period we live in ourselves, because we’ll argue ourselves to death trying to imagine how we’ll be able to furnish money, food, weapons in, say, 8 months time. The best thing is for the Ukrainians to use the weapons they have today and the money they have in their central bank and stop looking to some future date as Armageddon if they run out of ammo or money or weapons. The only way to stop a tiger from killing a deer is to make sure the tiger is dead before it can get its jaws around the deer's neck. We need to concentrate on stopping the tiger asap Kind regards, David Te’Kannon Geneva, Switzerland

It's always good to tune in to a Chuck Tood interview and former US Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul tops the bill as one of the most important people in the news. What I think about a possible solution will undoubtedly not be taken seriously---I am an artist and inventor----and not someone in the know so-to-speak about bringing a war to the end, but here goes: Why not a word barrage towards the Russian side? What do I mean by that? The tanks are on the way, fighter jets will follow, huge land battles will be won and lost from both the Ukrainian side and the Russian side. The Russians have been given free information from your country and other military specialists over and over about how you are runnning out of bullets, etc. The Russians take this as a gift because now they know they only have to wait out the west. What I think we have to do is this: First, if you or I saw someone in a dark space in a rip tide going under water, we would do everything on Earth to save them. Are you with me so far? We have to get this to President Putin and his entourage that for us in the west, the Ukraine is like a person who is drowning and we are going to do everything in our power to save the Ukraine from being taken over for as long as it takes. Period. We can say to President Putin that we understand Russian doctrine, but this is not against him or Russia or the Russian people. This is an existential problem for us in the west because to save a sovereign country from being invaded and taken over is what we are all about...

It's great to see openness in the world and in the workplace and the legalization of recreational drugs. But I think we should realize that Friday nights were invented for a special reason: that's the time for recreation.

Isn't the way to end all of these attacks on Uncle Joe's advancing years and memory lapses is by the Senate approving legislation to put the retirement age at, say, 92 years? This way President Biden could rightfully say he has ten years to go before he has to retire. Think of how Social Security could catch its breath and pensions could be given the chance to regain wealth. The only downside I can think of is that police officers who are nearing 90 for example, might have difficulty running fast enough in catching thieves and the like, but they could use skate boards come to think of it!!

Chuck and Tim, good to hear from you and forgive me if I sound like a conspiracy guy. First, Chuck, you and your colleagues at NBC News do a fantastic job and we learn something every time we tune in. The UFO, UAP conundrum has you in America shaking your heads and I am sure many people like myself around the world wondering what is really going on with this enigmatic subject that remains wrapped up in a riddle and missing many pieces of a puzzle that no one can describe what the big picture really looks like. Let me paint a probable picture as to why the Pentagon and your government officials and ours across the globe are biting their tongues on this subject. Chuck, Tim, I don't know if you have read Professor David Jacobs' eerie book, "Walking Among Us", but if you haven't Dr Jacob's research shows that extra-terrestrials are already here and walking among us and their plan is for planetary acquisition. They are here alright, but according to Jacobs, not with good intentions for the human race. I do not have a theory, but could it be that Jacobs might have the answer to why the world's governments aren't giving us a peek into this opaque and haunting subject. To recap: Could it be that our governments are being mum about the UAP subject because they know that it is something sinister and it would scare the daylights out of us if we knew why our space 'brothers' are being so evasive? Why have aliens done everything possible to never openly show themselves to us, like to land on The White House lawn or in The Red Square for example? All of these bizarre sightings have shown us beings who do not wish us to know them. Doesn't that strike anyone as just a bit strange for alien creatures in their metallic discs to cross the realms of space and time and only to come here and play hide and seek?

As an overseas viewer who has no political party's dogma to follow, what comes across over and over again about every single interview of John Bolton and Chuck Todd's is no exception, is that we see an American who is all about being American and including all Americans in his discussions. What we see is a man who would be president for all of his countrymen and countrywomen; political parties don't matter to Bolton. He cherry picks what is right for his homeland. Period. He wants the best for his country and he knows how to deal with strongman autocracies and this differs drastically from political blowhards that are really mainstream politicians fleeing the international stage like a plague was arriving every time there needs to be someone in the cockpit...

Dear Mr Todd and Governor Cuomo, As an overseas viewer the first thing I would like to say is that if it were a perfect world Andrew Cuomo would be the American president. This man talks government, speaks from his heart, sees through the hype and gets the job done every time he is confronted with a problem. He puts people first and doesn't care which side of the political isle someone is on, or from what ethnic or economic group. He only wants to get things working so people can go back to their daily lives. Now, it's no one's fault someone is the American president who is going to have historians busy for centuries trying to decide exactly what he should or should not be blamed for. The point I want to make is that your country is spinning out of control over a pandemic that defies all logic. Who ever heard of a virus expanding its infection rate in warm weather? I am an inventor and I try to come up with solutions. The only solution I see to getting your country in a place Governor Cuomo might be satisfied with is to do an immediate 14 day quarantine. And for everyone to be required to stay at home across the 50 states; essential services exempt. I realize the economic and political firestorm my words are having, but a 14 day quarantine for everyone would slay the dragon virus for the large part, and allow hospitals to get back up to speed in treating the massive increase in sick people. Two weeks is a vacation for some people, and for others it would be a little long and boring and lonely, but it would stop the virus in its tracks enough for a large part of the population to be exempt from its tentacles. This pandemic has brought America to its knees and I think the only viable solution to bring infection rates down is to deny it accessiblity to infecting people. All the best in getting your country back in shape so that you can hit the ground running when it's over and get your nation leading the world once more. Peace.

Two decades of foreign troops in Afghanistan! Let these people take back the control of their destiny. You can help someone too much to the point where they become dependent on you; same with a country. We see children who are 30 years old and still home with mom and dad because it's hard out there. The rents are so high; it's better to stay at home. It has become an epidemic in neighboring Italy. If you pamper and protect a nation it's the same thing; they become psychologically unable to master their own destiny. Hasn't enough American blood been spilt to realize that the enemy in Afghanistan is not the Taliban? The enemy for Afghanistan is to lose faith in their ability to run their own nation. Let's give a bouquet of thanks to America and her allies for a very long and expensive and bloody helping hand. But. The time has come to stand down and let Afghanistan be the master of its own destiny.

It's not good journalism when we see a world-renowned author like Bob Woodward teaming up with another... author. Why? It makes it look like Bob Woodward is losing his capacity to write well and that he needs someone there to dot the i's and cross the t's. Of course, it is not this way. This is a collaboration. But it doesn't make Costa look more authoritative to be piggy-backing a Bob Woodward project. It makes it look like Bob is trying to get his good buddy Robert into the limelight. Unfortunately, it looks like something is being done with these two authors claiming a piece of the pie, but we get the feeling that Bob is doing this to launch Robert's career.

@TvDaddyAndTheTabloidArmy GGGGGGGGGGGreat to hear from you. Of course, you're right if it was out in the open security would have spotted it, unless it was tucking in a crease. What is obvious to me though, is that the story doesn't add up about the bullet being spent and only sticking in Kennedy's back because it was out of force. It was shot into something soft to have been so pristine and also it had no blood on it. The sniper on the grassy knoll was James Files---he admitted using a Remington Fireball with hollow points. He was aiming for the left eye when Kennedy jerked and so he hit him in the right temple. The thing we have to look out for is information that comes but there is no way to prove it. Even Files testimony has been called out, but Files named people who were seen at Dealey Plaza---and who would admit to killing Kennedy? The biggest blooper of the whole affair to me was when George H. W. Bush was asked by a reporter at a press conference where he was on 22 November, 1963. He said he didn't remember! The funny thing is there is a picture of him on the internet at Dealey Plaza on 22 November, 1963.

We have to realize that the Afghanistan people are willing and ready and able to take over governing their country. America and her allies have lost blood and treasure trying to make Afghanistan a safer place and they have succeeded in doing that, but you don't make helping someone get on their feet a permanent occupation of their country. There are no victorious chants but only bloodied battlegrounds left behind, because there were no armies to fight but rather hiddne fighters and guerilla warfare which everyone knows can never have winners or losers but only civilians paying the ultimate price in the long run. It was the civilians who have paid the price for peace in their country. Too many innocent people lost their lives to friendly fire, suicide bombing and other atrocities. But no one should underestimate the Afghanistan people's ability to have the will to run their own country. They have their line in the sand, and those who step over it will pay the ultimate price. But it's the Afghanistan people who must draw their own line in the sand, not foreign forces. We also have to realize that battles will be lost until they have found their feet. With foreign soldiers in one's land for two decades just for the Americans and their allies, the Afghanistan people will surely make mistakes, have falling outs with their government and have military reverses. One only has to look at the American Civil War and how long it has taken for the USA to recover from a war that happened over a century ago. Let's leave governing Afghanistan to the Afghanistan people and the smart money says they're going to do just fine.

It was enlightening hearing one TV's top journalists and news presenter's, Chuck Todd, interview two people who probably know more than anyone else on what it is going to take to end the hideous and immoral and cruel Ukraine war. Former Ambassador to the Ukraine Bill Talyor and retired U.S. Army Lieutenant General Ben Hodges are experts and they tell it like it is with no spin. General Hodges outlines an analyis of how the Ukrainians can win this war. He shows us how it is probably going to happen. Many people undoubtedly think that it would be more than wise to follow General Hodges' battle plan to the letter; I certainly do. We live 2,000 kilometers from Kiev and many people here are hesitant to speak their minds but they are secretly appalled at the way the Russians have attacked civilians and infra-structure which makes no military sense. Not only in Russia, what I see is that Putin's claws reach far into the mentality of surrounding countries. We see a large part of the world riding the fence as well. But wondering why your president is not gung-ho on sending in the deciding instruments of war, we have to remember the North American proverb of not judging someone until you walk 15 days in their moccasins; in other words, President Biden has a lot of bla-bla-ing to do with America's allies before each new tactical weapon is agreed upon to be sent to the Ukrainian military. Let's be real: the Ukraine is the existential crisis of our time; lose the Ukraine and democracy takes a body blow that could take decades to recover from. We are all aware there are no angels in any government anywhere; corruption and God knows what else plague the human condition in both camps of any conflict. Poor decisions by inexperienced or corrupt officials are the downside of our democratic institutions, but if we let Ukraine slip through our fingers, I believe we are going to be delivering an unappetizing borsch to our children's children for generations to come...

China wants Taiwan and President Xi wants Taiwan to be a part of China. We have to try to get it through President Xi's head that it's nice to want things. The only problem with China wanting to have Taiwan as its territory is that Taiwan doesn't want this. We must come up with a strategy that will make China see that Taiwan is best on its own.

@pmcd6414 You have to understand that there is one thing you have that absolutely no one else in the entire universe possesses. It's your point of view. And: if you think about it, even if you wanted to give it away, no one would want it because it's your point of view. It's no wonder you don't like what I have written, because it's my point of view.

Let's talk about this possible solution to Mexico and the USA's water problem. I am an inventor and my mentor is Sir Richard Dyson. Dyson made 5,237 tries to get his vacuum cleaner to work and it finally happened on the 5,238th time. Why do I mention this? Because my idea may take 5,239 times before we get it right but I know it would help. We need to think back to Roman times and the aqueducts. In our time constructing aqueducts over thousands of kilometers would not work for a number of reasons. But we could use existing rail lines and roads to put the aqueducts under the rails, under the highways and under the national roads. We could pump water from water-rich regions or where colossal storms have happened and send that water to the drought-stricken areas and fill reservoirs and lakes like Lake Meade, Lake Powell and California and Mexicos dried-up reservoirs. Above ground aqueducts would be an eyesore to see pipes everywhere above ground and but putting pipes underground would give roads and railways have a duel purpose. This needs to be tried and tried until we get it right. At this writing 240,000,000 olympic sized swimming pools of fresh water are flowing off the Greenland glacier every day. We need to get huge water-tankers filling up and bringing the H2O to Mexico's coast, the USA's coast and every country that is experiencing drought. If there were under-road aqueducts at docks, the water could be sent to the worst affected areas. We have got to try everything and be prepared for a lot of experimentation.

Dear Mr Todd and Senator Romney, Thank you Mr Todd for the excellent talk shows and interviews and quality questions you and your colleagues bring to TV journalism. Thank you Senator Romney for your great ability to bring dignity to every subject you discuss. What I sense as someone observing the triumphs and letdowns of your election is a great society shedding another chapter of its past and a new chapter being written. I was struck by the elegant speech of President-elect Biden, but one comment stuck in my mind. He said we have to bring back the middle class. It made me think of Vice-President Harris mother’s country of India with the caste system. Do you realize that America’s and the world's class system is an affront to humanity in some way? What do I mean by that? I mean that you two gentlemen might be Mr Todd from upper-middle class and Senator Romney from the top 1% or elite or the ruling class of people. Imagine someone coming on your show Mr Todd and you saying, “Well, you’re from the lower class and now that Biden is going to be the next president do you think you may be able to make it to the lower-middle class?” What I am saying is that our great system of capitalism has got us into classes whether we like it or not. This is not the way people should be living. Everyone should be living in a classless society which is why I think it’s time to also re-think the capitalist system. Isn’t it time we write a new chapter for how the world economy should be run? It's an opinion.

Dear Mr Todd and Senator Cruz, Thank you Chuck for top-notch reporting with hard-hitting questions and quality discussions with your guests. The confirmation of Judge Coney Barrett looks pretty shady from the other side of the world Senator Cruz. Why does Coney Barrett need to be confirmed when Justice Ginseberg's seat is still warm if you see what I mean? You have a chance to dance with destiny Senator Cruz. Destiny is knocking on your door and you could be the one to show that American politics has returned to a state of sanity. Don't do what you know deep in your heart and soul is only something that will send your country into unneccessary strife and instigate demonstrations that will echo across the world.
