SUMMARY:First Look: One Year To The Election!
DESCRIPTION:We are now one year away from Election Day.  Every four years\, you’ll hear people say\, “this is one of the most important elections of our lifetime.” \nWhile every election is certainly consequential\, the election of 2024 does feel like it is going to have a gigantic and long lasting influence on American democracy. \nAfter the last election\, we saw a direct attack on our form of government.  Could 2024 being election in which traditional American norms of government itself are on the ballot?  It feels that way. \n  \nIn this fascinating and insightful presentation\, I will be joined by award-winning political scientist Kelly Jones-Wagy.  We will preview the upcoming Republican primaries\, outline where the battle grounds will be for the Senate\, and make our initial predictions regarding the presidential election of 2024. Those who have joined me for previous election programs know that Kelly Jones-Wagy is brilliant\, eerily accurate\, and always thought-provoking! \nCOST \nBecause I pay Kelly Jones-Wagy for her time\, I ask for a voluntary donation of $10.00. If you cannot afford it or feel my programs are not worth $10.00\, email me\, and I will waive your fee; I am struggling but supporting a family\, so I understand with compassion living on a tight budget! \nCash/Check Payable to Barry Bradford \nBarry Bradford \nP.O.

SUMMARY:Will Rogers: America’s Cowboy Philosopher
DESCRIPTION:Will Rogers: America’s Cowboy Philosopher \nWill Rogers is one of the most popular Americans to have ever lived!  he famously said\, “I never met a man I didn’t like.” And the reverse was true – no one ever seemed to dislike Will Rogers. He was America’s favorite political comic and commentator\,  a major movie star\, an impressively prolific and widely read author\,  a world traveler and clearly the USA’s  most beloved homespun philosopher for the 20 years between 1915 and his untimely death in 1935. \nHe was a modestly educated part Native American cowboy from Oklahoma who wound up charming the world and is still widely quoted today. Will Rogers’ vivid\, folksy\, popular appeal comes brilliantly the life in this multimedia presentation. You’ll be amazed at how contemporary his political commentary still sounds!

SUMMARY:Who Killed JFK – Historian Presents a Modern Analysis
DESCRIPTION: Who Killed JFK?\n I’ll Tell You! \n \nThe murder of John F. Kennedy on November 22\, 1963\, shocked the nation. A suspect was quickly arrested and subsequently murdered. President Lyndon Johnson appointed a blue ribbon committee – the Warren Commission – to answer the question: who killed JFK? \nThey concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald was the sole assassin. Immediately\, the public was skeptical. Stephen King described Oswald as “a semi-educated hillbilly with delusions of grandeur.” How could such an insignificant loser pull off such a dastardly crime? And why did Jack Ruby\, accused of being a Mob member\, kill Oswald? \nWe have been through with whispered knowledge of conspiracies\, confessions\, and coverups. And so the public has asked for an explanation of the “magic bullet.” \nAnd the contradictory witness statements. \nAnd Oswald’s shadowy past. \nAnd all of the “secret files.” \nAnd all of the conspiracy theories. \nAnd all of the “mysterious deaths” associated with the assassination? \nBooks\, articles\, movies\, and documentaries have raised innumerable questions about who killed JFK. \nWho Killed JFK – Computer Analysis\nSo who killed JFK? I will attempt to answer as many of these questions as possible. First\, I will attempt to separate historical fact from theory & speculation. Second\, I will show what the historical record actually indicates happened. We have access to much more information today than the Warren Commission had in 1963/4 or the House of Representatives had in 1977. Third\, we will examine what modern computer forensics can tell us about crime. For instance\, the Warren Commission had access to the “Zapruder Film.”  Today\, we can use computers to enhance and analyze the film. We can use modern technology to analyze the path of each of the bullets that were fired. \nWho Killed JFK – Computer Analysis \nAnd we can use computers to isolate the mysterious sounds a Dallas motorcycle patrolman captured.  In 1977\, the House of Representatives believed that the recording showed four shots fired in Dealy Plaza.  The National Academy of Science\, among many other groups\, have taken the same sound recordings and used state-of-the-art technology to analyze them. What do we know now? \nYou may disagree with my conclusions\, but you will definitely learn a lot and come away with a new perspective on the historical record of who killed JFK. \nTHIS PRESENTATION IS FREE AND IN-PERSON ONLY. YOU MUST REGISTER IN ADVANCE!

SUMMARY:Lincoln's Greatest Speeches
DESCRIPTION:This brand new presentation will introduce you to the greatest speeches given by our greatest president. Abraham Lincoln was a master of communication. Like FDR during World War II\, Lincoln constantly explained to Americans why we were fighting the Civil War. Although many people throughout the Union opposed him\, President Abraham Lincoln never stopped trying to bring about national consensus\, conciliation\, and cooperation. \nYou are probably very familiar with the Gettysburg address. And you may remember that President Lincoln famously called on the nation to deal with defeated traitors\, “With malice towards none and charity towards all..” but in this insightful history presentation\, we will go pull out the surface. We will look at how Lincoln used language to make sure his positions were clearly understood\, that people felt empowered\, and with the hope that he could heal a broken nation. \n
