A&E’s documentary titled “Biography: JFK Jr. — The Final Year,” which is airing on Tuesday, the 20-year anniversary of his death, explores the events impacting Kennedy before he perished, including coping with the fatal illness of his closest friend and cousin, Anthony Radziwill, his struggling marriage and his quest to rescue his political magazine, George. It features interviews with those who knew Kennedy over the years, including Gillon.

I strongly suspect Hillary had him killed to remove an obstacle to her Presidential ambitions. Same goes for Paul Wellstone.

I don’t doubt that. He’d likely been president one day. I’d never voted for him but he would have been far better than the crap the democrats are spewing out today.

From what I understand his flight training was at a critical juncture. He happened into a situation which required him to focus on his instruments and ignore his intuition. In other words, he failed the acid test.

Does anyone think he would have failed in politics too? Of course Democrats never fail in Identity Politics.

Its not like the 70s or 80s, but it seems the Kennedys still have some remaining agents rin the media, always ready to give them some spotlight and positive spin.

There are bold pilots and old pilots. Just not old, bold pilots.

Not night qualified, flew in inclement weather, no instrument training, spatial disorientation, flew between cloud layers with no moon, couldn’t tell up from down. Would have done the same to the US if elected.

He would have won in a walk in 2008. Obama would have been his VP likely.

How would he have done? A sight better than Obama as he seemed like a pretty level-headed guy in terms of politics somewhat. We are talking late 90s Democrat, btw.

The downside is that Obama would be in his first term today.

He was a lousy student and a lousy athlete, and was ugly as a teenager. He was a loser with a famous name.

It was said that in his final flight, he for whatever reason lost control of the plane and despite his frantic efforts was unable to stabilize the aircraft and crashed. Always imagined he dies listening to the screams of his wife and her sister. Question to pilots: If during that crisis had he engaged the automatic pilot, would the aircraft had stabilized thus allowing him to regain his bearings and control?

WGAF? As useless as the rest of the clan. Saw the swoon fest on some mags at the grocery the other day. Barf-o-rama.

“He said, ‘I loved your father,’” Gillon recalled to Fox News. “That happened a lot. A couple of minutes later, the guy comes out again. He’s dragging his wife behind him and says, ‘Marilyn, I want you to meet my friend, John F. Kennedy Jr.’ John reaches out and he says, ‘Hi, Marilyn. I’ve heard so much about you. I’m glad I finally got to meet you.’ And I looked at him. He had just met this guy 20 minutes ago. And John said, ‘What was wrong with that? I made two people really happy.’

...

I read the same story about Arnold Palmer.

Would have kept Obama out of the White House. Those 8 years between Bush 43 and Trump would have been John Jr’s. Aging Boomers reliving their childhoods, Camelot, blahblahblah.

He was dead so the media had to go looking for a stand-in. The 70’s radical student left was moving into senior Establishment positions in the country and proffered two candidates— Hillary and Obummer.

Obummer’s strain of Democrat relied on government more than Hillary’s base did, so they had more riding on the outcome of the primaries (and general).

They swept the floor with Hillary, who took her pasty white ass back to Westchester and drank for two and a half years.

But I digress. Bottom line: JFK,Jr.’s death opened up a presidential possibility no one saw coming.

Before boarding the plane, John-John told his friends that he had the “dirt” on Hillary that would put her away for good. He didn't trust anybody, so he was flying the documents to Washington DC himself...
