This interview with correspondent Wolf Jackal was conducted today at an undisclosed location, due to the Corona virus or something... 30 APRIL 2020 (AP) JACKAL: “Good afternoon, from all of us at Associated Press, we thank you very much for taking the time from your busy schedule to grant this interview, Mr. Biden.” BIDEN: “My pleasure, Fox, good morning to you.” JACKAL: “That’s Wolf, and it's 2:30 in the afternoon.” BIDEN: “Oh yeah, Wolf, that’s right, morning, afternoon, whatever.

Assassinations of national leaders and other high-ranking politicians and celebrities are not only history-making events, they are also history-changing ones as well. We can only speculate at what history would have looked like had these public figures had not been murdered, but for better or for worse, history was definitely altered. Here’s a list of the weapons used in some of the more infamous history-altering public and/or political killings (the official versions anyway); the photos are of the actual weapons used: Wogdon .544 dueling pistols - These pistols were used by Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton during their famous duel on July 11, 1804, which resulted in Hamilton's death.   Philadelphia .41 Derringer - Used by John Wilkes Booth to kill Abraham Lincoln on April 14, 1865. Bulldog .44 revolver - Used by Charles Guiteau on President James Garfield on July 2, 1881.   Iver Johnson .32 revolver – Used by Leon Czolgosz on Pr

I recently asked an emergency medical technician what was the most unusual call he ever dealt with, and his immediate reply was someone who shot himself in the head with a .45 and survived. Rather than getting rid of his worldly problems, the man made them infinitely worse, not only for himself but many others as well. Several years ago, I watched a documentary film called The Bridge (2006) , which was about the people that jumped from the Golden Gate Bridge over the course of a year; 23 of the 24 (known) suicides from the bridge that year (2004) were recorded. Snuff films and/or anything related to them are far from my bag to say the least, but I felt compelled to watch this documentary, as my only brother killed himself by jumping from a bridge elsewhere
