Thirty-three years ago today, on the thirtieth day of the third month of 1981, a gunman attempted to assassinate President Ronald Wilson Reagan. This is not only a major historical event; it is also an American healthcare first: the only time a president was shot in office and survived.

Always will call out purveyors of lies and Darkness, Sirius.
You can change your ways and know true Love, “ Sirius”. He is there for you.
Think that means Happy B day so thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you!
Thank you!
It does mean Happy Birthday.
I figured if you were spelling it Tejas, you’d appreciate a bit f the Spanish lingo.
The saddest figure in Reagan assassination attempt has to be Jim Brady. For thirty three years, this poor man has been dragged out propped up in a corner as evidence that guns are the biggest threat to civilization in history.
Don’t fall in to crazy conspiracy madness.
I don’t remember hearing about the attempted assassination.
I do remember graffiti saying things like “Reagan, will die, Bush will take over and the CIA will rule”.
I remember that distinctly. I think iI may have seen it even before Hinckley shot him, but I’m not sure.
This was the view being pushed forth by the New Left and other drugged out lefty and occultist propagandists at the time.
It is psy-ops propaganda from the dark side, both political and spiritual.
30 years later I’d Hate to see conservatives fooled by such deceit.
"FAMILY 'DESTROYED' BY ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT
By JOHN MOSSMAN, Associated Press Writer, the Associated Press, April 1, 1981, PM Cycle
EVERGREEN, Colo. The parents of John W. Hinckley, Jr., "just destroyed" by their son's alleged assassination attempt on President Reagan, hope to see him "as soon as possible" but have no definite travel plans, their attorney said. The Hinckleys, through attorney James Robinson, issued a brief statement Tuesday expressing their "deep concern" for President Reagan and all those involved in Monday's shooting, including their son, John. Robinson said the Hinckleys had spoken to their son Monday night and Tuesday afternoon and were trying to hire a Washington lawyer for him. It was confirmed later in Washington that the Hinckleys had retained the law firm of millionaire defense attorney Edward Bennett Williams.
The Hinckleys said they planned to see their son "as soon as possible, but at this time they have no definite travel plans worked out," Robinson said. They sent "personal expressions of sorrow" to the wounded men and their families, he said. The Hinckleys reiterated through Robinson that they have provided psychiatric care for their son in the past, adding that "recent evaluations alerted no one to the seriousness of his condition."
William Sells, the Hinckleys' next door neighbor and in whose home the Hinckleys were staying Tuesday, said the couple was "just destroyed" by their son's arrest and the attempt made on Reagan's life.
In Washington, an aide to Vice President George Bush disputed a Houston Post report that the Hinckleys made large contributions to Bush's presidential campaign. The aide, Shirley Green, said no record of such a contribution could be found.
The Houston newspaper also reported that Scott Hinckley was to have dined Tuesday night in Denver at the home of Neil Bush, on of the vice president's sons. Neil Bush's wife Sharon said Scott Hinckley was coming to their house as the date of one of her girlfriends. "I don't even know the brother," she said. "I understand he was just the renegade brother in the family. They must feel awful."
The FBI investigated a bomb threat directed against the Hinckleys on Tuesday, but nothing came of it.
The senior Hinckley is described by associates as a devout Christian who belonged to a weekly Bible reading club and recently did work in Africa for a Christian service organization.
John Hinckley and his wife stayed at their next-door neighbor's house all day Tuesday as 70 reporters assembled on the front lawn and gawkers drove slowly past.
A statement for counsel for Vanderbilt Energy Corp. said the elder Hickley had "temporarily relinquished his duties" as chairman for the Denver-based firm "because of a tragedy involving a member of his family." John Hinckley, Jr., 25, who was arrested seconds after Reagan was shot in Washington, was being held Tuesday at a Marine base in Quantico, Va. The corporate statement did not mention any change for Scott Hinckley, vice president of operations for Vanderbilt and brother of John, Jr.
The father's move came amid confirmation that the Department of Energy was reviewing Vanderbilt's books. Jack Vandenberg, a DOE spokesman in Washington, said auditors met with Scott Hinckley in Denver on Monday. The Washington Star quoted an unnamed "White House official" as confirming that DOE auditors asked for an explanation of an overcharge when oil price controls were in effect between 1973 and 1981. The Star said DOE auditors told Scott Hinckley there was a possible penalty of $2 million for the overcharge."
A ha.
The lying propagandist routine begin.
Spam of lies.
You are text book.
“Sirius”, you can have Peace. You know He loves you.
Because I speak the truth. Now go back to DU, you troll.
Hey, I’m just asking the questions. Answer them for yourself.
But it looks so tasty!
Happy Birthday.
It’s one of the few foods that looks, smells and tastes better after you regurgitate it back onto the plate.
Chinese version is delicious! Has an interesting “crunch” to it too.
Right on
I don’t think he had a choice. He was probably told that bush will be his vp pick.Since that election no outsider has gone on to win the nomination.The political elite have made sure that has not happened and wont.
Actually your dark worldview and conspiracy theories are what have come out of DU and their forebears with that type of mindset.
I did! Thank u very much!
