Nixon, Connally and Shotgun In Oval Office

Here's an interesting photo.

Former Texas Governor John B. Connally with a shotgun and President Richard Nixon in the Oval Office in 1971.

The photo's caption by Michael Beschloss reads:

President Nixon and his Treasury Secretary, John Connally, survivor of JFK assassination in Dallas 1963, with shotgun in Oval Office, 1971.  Astonishing.

 

Apparently, the Parkland Hospital's doctors did a great job on Connally's right wrist in 1963. I shook hands with him in San Diego at a California Republican Party Convention in 1973 and he had a good strong grip.

Charlie Kirk Assassinated

Above, Charlie Kirk speaking an instant before being hit by an assassin's bullet.

Charlie Kirk, the CEO of Turning Point USA, was shot to death by a sniper at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah today. He was 31.

He was taking questions at a gathering on campus when a single shot rang out. It it Kirk in the neck and he immediately crumpled down. I viewed one video that showed him being shot. By the amount of blood that gushed from his neck, it appeared to this untrained eye that possibly an artery was hit.

President Trump made the announcement about 20 minutes ago.

Initial reports said the shooter was apprehended, but that has changed and police are still searching for the shooter.

Prayers to Kirk's wife and children 

This is what they destroyed today. I am so heartbroken, I can’t speak. pic.twitter.com/8v4OF6nLkM
