Back to the Trends….

Happy Friday everyone! Today I decided to go back to Google Trends to see how uninformed I am. Most of the recent trends were not exciting but there was one that popped out to me which was:

I had no idea that these files were close to being released but here we are with the time getting close. Clearly the events took place long before even I was born but they are a piece of American history and I would love to know what happened. I’ve watched several documentaries over the years and of course the movie “JFK”. I even had a friend in high school who’s grandfather was an FBI agent who was unofficially investigating Lee Harvey Oswald in the months leading up to the assassination. How’s that for a “seven degrees of separation”? Last year on a hiking trip to Utah, we got stranded in Dallas for a couple days due to storms. We made the best of the situation, rented a car, and went down to Dealey Plaza where it occurred so the family could see this historic, yet morbid, place in history.

Here is the official White House press release: https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/declassification-of-records-concerning-the-assassinations-of-president-john-f-kenned/

Notice in the last picture that there is an “X” in the middle of the road.
