3 Ridiculously Stupid Statements made by famous people..

1. Said by Todd Akin in 2012..............................................August 19, 2012

"It seems to me, from what I understand from doctors, that's really rare. If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down. But let's assume that maybe that didn't work or something: I think there should be some punishment, but the punishment ought to be of the rapist, and not attacking the child. "

2. Said by Richard Nixon .... "I am not a crook." ......................... On November 17, 1973


3. Donald Trump ,,,,....... " Not raking weeds contributing to fires" ......... November 15, 2018..

Snow wreaks havoc on East Coast, causing commuter chaos and leaving at least 7 dead

Source: Yahoo News./ABC News.

A fall snowstorm wreaked havoc on the East Coast, stranding New York City commuters, canceling more than 7,000 flights, knocking out power to more than 300,000 residents and forcing children to stay at school overnight.

The rough weather has contributed to at least seven deaths in the U.S., The Associated Press said.

In Connecticut, a man was shoveling snow off his car on Interstate-95 when another car spun out of control and hit him, the state police said

The snow, sleet and rain caused chaos on roadways across the Northeast, especially during the evening commute.

New Jersey State Police said they responded to over 500 crashes on Thursday while Maryland State Police said they responded to over 400 crashes.

The lie comes back to haunt Republicans.

....Hillary's emails, investigate Hillary, Benghazi, all of it and more. Over and Over Again. And that is what the Republicans stand for. "Hillary's Emails"
....Now the tide has turned. So, nothing came of Hillary's emails and "Benghazi" The elephant party tried to crap on Hillary but nothing came out. Over and Over and Over..."Benghazi" "Hillary's Emails" "Etc" The Republican Party played that tune for a while and it was loud and clear for all to hear. Hillary did something wrong, and she needs to be investigated. But they did investigate and Hillary did nothing wrong.
....But something has happened. There is an investigation of Donald Trump going on. Now, the Republican party says, "NO" Don't Investigate Donald Trump.."You are Warned!"
....But in our minds there is the idea of "fairness", "equality", and "reason." Most of us know that what is good for Hillary is also good for Donald. The great majority of people in the U.S.A. have heard the Hillary crap for over a year, and now it is Donald's turn. No matter what republicans say, it is much too late to say..NO! What is fair for one party, is fair for the other party. It is installed in the psyche of the people in this country. Hillary, Hillary and Hillary.. Guess what? Now it is Donald Trump's turn.

44 dead in California fires as the Camp Fire becomes the deadliest in state history

https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/12/us/california-wildfires-woolsey-camp-hill-missing/index.html


An additional 13 sets of human remains were discovered Monday in Northern California, bringing the death toll from the Camp Fire to 42, making it the deadliest wildfire in the state's history, the sheriff of Butte County said.

The increased death toll comes as first responders battle blazes on both ends of the state, and brings the statewide death toll to 44.

Fierce winds continue to threaten lives and homes in Southern California's Woolsey Fire, which has killed two people so far. The strongest Santa Ana winds in the south may bring gusts to hurricane force on Tuesday, CNN meteorologist Dave Hennen said.

What if the young men giving the Nazi salute had done the exact same thing in 1958, not 2018

That is 60 years ago, just 13 years after the end of WWII. What would happen to every one of those who saluted? What would have happened to the photographer who told them to salute? Or the principal of that high school in charge of the event. In 1958 the horror of WWII was still alive. (and it still is, but evidently not in that high school) Think about what the Vets who fought in WWII who lived near that town, or in that town, would have done. What a total disgrace it would have been then. (as it is now) The Vets in Madison or Milwaukee.. Those cities are less than 80 miles from that place.. They fought against the Germans in WWII.
...Think if you can, how that would have been felt in 1958..Nazi Salute? How about this one..the last idea..

.....The President of the United States in 1958 was Dwight D. Eisenhower, who was a General in WWII and lead U.S. Soldiers against the Germans...

.........What would President Eisenhower have to say about this ugly display of hatred.? in 1958?

White People not Voting for An Afro-American. TOTALLY FALSE IN ILLINOIS..Jessie White

Or..having difficulty Voting for an Afro-American Candidate...FALSE..

In Illinois the Secretary of State, (drivers licenses) Jessie White, an Afro-American has been elected to this state wide office continuously since 1998. Six terms.. He was reelected on Tuesday November 6 with approximately 68 percent of the total vote. Almost everyone likes the job Jessie is doing in Illinois. He totally reformed procedures for getting drivers licenses. What used to take hours, now is takes much less, depending on what kinds of things one wants to do at the Sec of States office. Further if you have to wait, there is a sign in the office that tells you the waiting time..Jessie is recognized by almost everyone as the best and most honest Sec of State we have ever had.

Pritkzer, a Democrat, who won election for governor on Tuesday got 54 percent of the vote, where as Jessie, also a Democrat got 68 percent of the vote. In a moment the numbers.

Governor
Pritkzer. Dem.2,300,000......54.9%
Rauner.. Repub.1,700,000....39.2%

Sec of State
Jessie White -. 3,006,000.....68%....Afro-American..This is the beginning of his 7th straight term..
Puke.............. 1,303,000... 30%

About Stuart G

I thought I knew a lot, and I found out... how little I knew about what I know. And how much more there is to learn, if I listen and read what others have to say.
