Do you have one of those presidential rankings lists for oldest first ladies like the one you posted for oldest presidents when Carter turned 99?
I do. A slight distinction, though, is that this will be a list of longest-living wives of the Presidents as opposed to a list of First Ladies. Not every President's wife technically served as First Lady (and not every First Lady or White House Hostess was a President's wife) because some died or divorced before their husband became President and a couple Presidents remarried after leaving office.
So, with that clarification, here are the wives of the Presidents from longest- to shortest-living at the age of their death:
Bess Truman: 97 years, 247 days Rosalynn Carter: 96 years, 93 days Nancy Reagan: 94 years, 243 days (Reagan's 2nd wife) Lady Bird Johnson: 94 years, 201 days Betty Ford: 93 years, 91 days Barbara Bush: 92 years, 313 days Jane Wyman: 90 years, 248 days (Reagan's 1st wife) Mary Harrison: 89 years, 250 days (B. Harrison's 2nd wife) Edith Wilson: 89 years, 64 days (Wilson's 2nd wife) Anna Harrison: 88 years 215 days Sarah Polk: 87 years, 344 days Edith Roosevelt: 87 years, 45 days (T. Roosevelt's 2nd wife) Lucretia Garfield: 85 years, 329 days Frances Cleveland: 83 years, 100 days Mamie Eisenhower: 82 years, 352 days Helen Taft: 82 years, 140 days Pat Nixon: 81 years, 98 days Dolley Madison: 81 years, 53 days Grace Coolidge: 78 years, 186 days Eleanor Roosevelt: 78 years, 27 days Louisa Adams: 77 years, 91 days Laura Bush: 77 years+ [Still living] Julia Grant: 76 years, 322 days Hillary Clinton: 76 years+ [Still living] Abigail Adams: 73 years, 351 days Ivana Trump: 73 years, 144 days (Trump's 1st wife) Jill Biden: 72 years+ [Still living] Martha Washington: 70 years, 355 days Lou Hoover: 69 years, 284 days Julia Tyler: 69 years, 67 days (Tyler's 2nd wife) Caroline Fillmore: 67 years, 294 days (Fillmore's 2nd wife) Eliza Johnson: 65 years, 103 days Jacqueline Kennedy: 64 years, 295 days Florence Harding: 64 years, 98 days Margaret Taylor: 63 years, 331 days Mary Todd Lincoln: 63 years, 215 days Elizabeth Monroe: 62 years, 85 days Rachel Jackson: 61 years, 190 days Caroline Harrison: 60 years, 24 days (B. Harrison's 1st wife) Marla Maples Trump: 60 years+ (Trump's 2nd wife) [Still living] Ida McKinley: 59 years, 352 days Michelle Obama: 59 years+ [Still living] Lucy Hayes: 57 years, 301 days Jane Pierce: 57 years, 265 days Abigail Fillmore: 57 years, 17 days (Fillmore's 1st wife) Ellen Wilson: 54 years, 84 days (Wilson's 1st wife) Melania Trump: 53 years+ [Still living] Letitia Tyler: 51 years, 302 days (Tyler's 1st wife) Ellen Arthur: 42 years, 135 days Hannah Van Buren: 35 years, 334 days Martha Jefferson: 33 years, 322 days Neilia Biden: 30 years, 143 days (Biden's 1st wife) Alice Roosevelt: 22 years, 192 days (T. Roosevelt's 1st wife)

Vague reasons to be positive:
So, since a lot of people probably need it here's some reasons not to give into despair about the Christo-fascist Cheeto's victory:
1. He's really old and unhealthy/mentally unstable. He's got maybe 10 years left, in ideal circumstances. The pressures of high office and politics are likely to take their toll on his already degrading health
2. He's statistically got around a 1 in 6 chance of dying in office (of the 45 men to hold the office of POTUS 8 have died in office, 4 of them being assassinated)
3. There have already been 2 assassination attempts (3rd time lucky?) it'd be surprising if there wasn't another
4. For all of his attempt to promote loyalist sycophants his cult of personality isn't all pervading. In January 2021 there was an attempt from within his own party to oust him under questions of his fitness/competence and margins are thin enough that another similar attempt might succeed
5. The results are apparently being challenged on multiple grounds and given that the overall margin is around 5-6 million votes it could be overturned or at least it's symbolism reduced
6. A lot of his more extreme proposals rely on the use of the military to enforce them. There's a chance that active deployment against USian citizens is going to be controversial enough to inspire at the very least widespread mutiny, if not an outright coup d'etat

"well, my vote doesn't matter!" okay, maybe your vote for potus isn't as statistically significant as we would like to think, but your votes on literally everything else DO, in fact, make a difference. the democratic candidate for the house of reps in my district defeated the republican incumbent (who has had the seat for MULTIPLE elections!) by 7,000 votes!! SEVEN THOUSAND!! that's only a couple percentage points but it STILL made a difference! those seven thousand people helped accomplish something notoriously difficult!!! you can absolutely make a difference with your vote!

Re-Vealing the Aggroculture
The sole purpose of the argument Kathy Freston speaks to in “Vegetarian is the New Prius” can be described as biting more off than which can be chewed. To further prove her point Freston dives into the difference between following with perfunctory effort and leading in conscious effort. The argument she addresses touches on everything in between our diets to the cars we drive setting a new standard of living consciously. As Freston’s use of Rogerian argument is formed into an article through the Huffington post, this only amplifies her “rebel with a cause” demeanor. Naturally, she supports her argument with statistics, facts, and reasons that back her role as health and wellness activist, and even credibility as an author. In one of her claims she states,” Going veg provides more bang for your buck than driving a prius” (Freston, par. 11). The only gain here then is the inhabitants of “a cooler planet.” Freston then raises the issue of what farmed animals bring to the table. Realistically, other than meat, it’s methane! With opportunity presented so often throughout the article, Freston displays matters of scientific facts mixed with pop culture reference to seek out a medium rare approach to find common ground with her readers. Serving up data collected from the United Nations and research from the University of Chicago, she also puts logical appeal into perspective. Although this topic reaches socially and logically it has the potential to reach politically and culturally, too. After all, it seems to serve a global cause. Her argument is quite effective as Freston acquires such a casually sophisticated tone in the language and style of her article to persuade the audience to at the very least think twice about eating a salad before purchasing a new hybrid prius. Freston certainly excels in countering balance of a steady flow between emotional, logical, ethical, and contextual arrangements through a widely known news source.
Forward thinking isn’t as complicated as it seems, or at least after a first glance of Freston’s column introduction which presents an ethical solution to a practical matter. With simple, yet captivating vocabulary she begins to unravel the complex values in the words of a true “vegetarian”. As you notice Freston’s engaging sense of humor in her metaphorical title it becomes clear she feels strongly about her role as an environmentalist and health advocate. At such a time where all the rage of a lengthy waitlist to own a Prius seemed more logically appealing to consumers rather than laying off the meat, opportunity became nothing short of an upcycled possession to share for Freston. By referring to the 31st POTUS Herbert Hoover’s promise, she puts into question what really defines status in relation to caring for humanly basic needs. Furthermore, proves a point to the alternatively trendy choices that are available in our time since the 44th president, Barack Obama. After revisiting such a nostalgic time, reports on “the livestock sector emerges as one of the top two or three most significant contributors to the most serious environmental problems, at every scale from local to global” (Freston, par. 2) as climbing percentages of greenhouse gases support her argument. With such an outrageous awakening that defines an interchangeable connection between global emissions and “what you had for dinner last night,” (Freston, par. 3) this only seems to be the tip of the iceberg when it comes to uncovering environmental issues– and it looks like Leo DiCaprio is along for the ride anyhow. Overall, an audience can begin analyzing Freston’s use of all four rhetorical strategies to form a beefy argument without all the stakes. And based on the first few components of the article makes for an effective argument at that.
In logical terms that can be simply put to describe rationale–there is, in fact, evidence to consider regarding the atmospheric plunge. That despite the rise in greenhouse gas emissions, “the researchers found that when it’s all added up, the average American does more to reduce global warming emissions by going vegetarian than by switching to a Prius “(Freston par. 5). What is neglected to mention is that complex natural processes resulting from agricultural gas emissions are much more difficult to measure. This, in turn, would challenge scientists to gauge how far it would take to make much of a difference in choosing a hybrid vehicle over a meatless meal. Just to top it all off only estimates suggest, “the United States alone slaughters more than 10 billion land animals every year” (Freston par. 8). Of course, this puts a damper on logical accumulation where common sense ought to be. Think of where else animals are slaughtered and how many don’t get to live a full life.
Feeling strongly on the matter of such a pressing topic is one thing but posting about it online for wandering eyes to bear witness to is another. And with such a knack for the wellbeing of others–who better to speak up for many who feel the planet’s earthly decline? As Freston mentions, “we are eating our planet to death” (par.8), but that doesn’t come at the cost off recognizing “we have a powerful new weapon to use in addressing the most serious environmental crisis ever to face humanity” (Freston par. 10). So, while the most successful celebrities like Bill Maher, Alec Baldwin–unfortunately–, Paul McCartney, and Leonardo DiCaprio opt in for the minimum sacrifice; everyone else has a sustainably accessible choice of swapping out their chicken wings for a veggie burger. “Doing so has never been easier” (Freston par. 13). There is no better time than now. And the world isn’t getting any younger.
In light of Freston's argument, America is not an entire nation made up of full-fledged vegetarians. However, it is a nation that has capitalized on the existing colonized land. Before the Americas introduced such a convenient process of cultivating and reaping the fortifying meats we consume at our dining room tables, there were hunters. Even then, natural selection seemed more... natural. Due to the revolutionary technology that has been developed since, Americans easily find themselves parked next to a drive thru window with to-go place mats ready in their laps. I would argue that it seems rather peculiar that eating meat is so accessibly inexpensive because it even encourages an imbalanced diet. And I am in full support of “using every part of the buffalo,” but this just takes dietary function to the extreme. Just ask the cows about the methane they produce. "Cattle contribute the most methane, and growth in US methane emissions has been linked to the country's growing population of beef cattle," writes Emily Joiner and Michael A. Toman of "Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Emissions 101". Certainly, keeping track of how much meat we consume requires work, but reducing our carbon footprints requires far more.
For taking on so much work somehow our positive self-image nears at risk of becoming undervalued due to the overexposure of an imbalanced diet at the hand of justifiable human behavior. This is where we should draw the line. It seems almost normal to work ourselves to exhaustion stuck between the thought of our next meal and the easiest meal; regardless of the involvement meat has in either. Surely enough, we can fit some form of exercise or another into our busy schedules. Now, just for a moment let’s look at the effort it takes physically to reach that of a bodybuilder. And though not everyone hopes to achieve such aesthetics, it is not dietarily exclusive even to veganism. While a properly designed vegan diet can meet the needs of an endurance athlete through whole foods, to some extent–performing on plants alone may not have what it chalks all up to be. With the assistance of nutritional professionals and powder supplements such as whey protein, which “are considered to be high-quality proteins due to their digestibility and quantity of essential amino acids, providing the proteins in correct ratios for human consumption” (Callarelli, Gobbi par. 3), vegan bodybuilders can reach #goals, too. As “emerging data support the efficacy of vegan options of protein powder in fostering muscle hypertrophy post-resistance exercise, improving indices of body composition and exercise performance” (Callarelli, Gobbi par. 4) help achieve well suited results through endurance just alike. More than anything it’s a lifestyle choice.
Kathy Freston’s well-informed argument in her column “Vegetarian is the New Prius” sheds light on the truth of existential circumstances that are damaging to the ozone layer. By strategically using ethos, logos, pathos, and kairos Freston efficiently demonstrates her credibility through her humbling approach which works to shift preconceived notions and uncomfortabilities surrounding diet and lifestyle choices. She does also mention the dire results on environmental impact that come of making meaty choices such as water pollution and land degradation. The means by which her argument leads steer an audience to reconsider eating less, or no meat altogether because of environmental, political, and empathetic causes. Afterall, just because the meal on your plate doesn’t have a face doesn’t mean it never had a heart.

The contrast between the news coverage of the Titan submersible and that of the smuggling vessel that sunk on the Greek coast just four days before it is such depressing social commentary on the state of the media.
It's a tragic event, brimming with controversy, crime and injustice to human rights. 78 survivors, out of 750 passengers. 78 survivors, and not one of them was one of the hundred children on board.
A hundred children dead at the bottom of the sea. Yet it was overshadowed by the deaths of 5 billionaires in an entirely avoidable expedition. The Central Mediterranean Sea is one of the world’s deadliest migration routes, and this is one of its worst tragedies. And all the news speaks of is five wealthy men with a taste for the dramatic.
The media may call itself the fourth pillar of democracy, the voice of the people, whatever else it pleases, but the fact remains- it feeds on the sensational, and its primary aim is to tell people what they want to hear.
Former POTUS Barack Obama recently made a statement regarding this, highlighting the lack of coverage in the smuggling case and contrasting it with the submersible case. It was not until this that newspapers really began reporting on it, as is evident when you check the dates of publication of articles and note the delta between them and the event. But not every story that deserves to be told will have the voices of famous people making sure it is heard. And if the media isn’t there for that, who is?
At the end of the day, Joseph Stalin’s words still ring depressingly true: One death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic. Read the Guardian's take here, Arwa Mahdavi puts it together pretty well: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jun/22/the-greek-shipwreck-was-a-horrific-tragedy-yet-it-didnt-get-the-attention-of-the-titanic-story And read the IRC's update and how-to-help here: https://www.instagram.com/p/Ct2AXOWsCnP/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D

TRUMPQUAKE! Not Only Does His Victory Send Huge Tremors Throughout Washington, DC…..
Posted on November 6, 2024 by State of the Nation
…It Exposes The CIA’s Ever-Lying Mockingbird Media As The Most Dangerous Disseminator Of Fake News In Human History.
State of the Nation
“Virtually every institution inside the Beltway has been leveled by this unparalleled “TRUMPQUAKE.”
— A Veteran Intelligence Analyst & Former U.S. Military Officer
Trump’s stunning evisceration of the Blue Wall and Vice President Kamala Harris’ underperformance in all corners of the country has ushered in a new era for U.S. politics — a dramatic shift rightward. Trump’s all-but-official victory is stunning in its completeness. The former president is on track to sweep all seven of the key battleground states, a huge reversal from 2020. Trump will even win the popular vote by millions of votes. He lost that badly in the last two campaigns. (Source: Punchbowl News)
What the following electoral vote map clearly indicates is what everyone knew about the 2020 POTUS election results—THAT THE DEMOCRATS OUTRIGHT STOLE THOSE SAME SWING STATES IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT.
SOURCE: https://www.politico.com/2024-election/results/president/
Now here’s the conclusive statistical analysis that irrefutably proves that all of those same swing states were stolen in 2020.
FLASHBACK: Undeniable Mathematical Evidence The 2020 Election Was Stolen From Trump In Those Same Swing States
What’s the critical point?
The same perps who stole the 2020 election worked triple time to steal 2024 … and there’s volumes of hard proof all over the USA crime scene to prove it.
You name the criminal co-conspirator — Democrat Party, Deep State, US Intel Community, Big Tech, NWO Globalist Cabal, Uniparty, Several State Governors — they were all in on this year’s massive nationwide vote fraud operation, as they still are in states like Pennsylvania.
Which means that Trump MUST start draining the swamp on Inauguration Day. Otherwise he will have nothing but 4 more years of hell and grief in the Oval Office, if he’s not assassinated first that is.
Therefore, Tump would be well-served by reading to the recent missive just issued by WikiLeaks in this regard:
WikiLeaks: 5 Questions For Donald Trump When He Wins
The bottom line here is that if Trump does not hold the countless traitors accountable for their naked treason and unrelenting acts of sedition, he will be viewed as soft and therefore extremely vulnerable every single day he sleeps in the White House.
Not only that, but the entire nation will be at very high risk for the most dangerous plot of all being stealthily carried out 24/7 against the American people. As follows:
THE MOST IMPORTANT POST OF THE 2024 ELECTION CYCLE
Conclusion
Nothing infuriates the communist Left more than being called out with unassailable headlines like the following, which means they are going to make Trump’s life as miserable as they can.

So my mom freaked out that Biden dropped out of the race cause she will legit want to move out of country if trump wins but I texted my girl groupchat and said my mom is freaking out Biden dropped and my friend responded being like it’s 4 months till election things will be fine this is good like I get that I don’t like Biden but like we all know it prob means trump may get the votes then unless we get a better loved democratic nomination like am I crazy?!
I mean yes and no?
I'm never going to predict the outcome of an election. I learned that in 2016. I can predict strategies and messaging and fundraising and evaluate what all of that might mean. What your friends are right about is that 4 months is a LONG time in the campaign world. What you're right about is that anything can impact anything and anything can happen.
Here are some things that might impact winning:
A candidate gets shot but not killed
A candidate drops out of the race
A candidate can draw a direct opposing message to the other
A candidate chooses a good or bad running mate
A candidate does well or badly in a debate
A candidate does something funny
A candidate does something and then everyone forgets about it
Basically, there is a lot of time and a lot of factors. Like the coconut thing is totally helping Kamala because memes are a really powerful political tool. But the bandage on the ear is weirdly helping Trump because of his cult of personality. Messaging for Kamala is on track to be "he's a felon and I'm basically a cop (but a good cop)."
One way that political people measure things is fundraising. It's not always foolproof but it's something. And Kamala raised over $81 million in one day, which is insane. She also has the entire bank account and campaign team from Biden at her disposal, and a crazy amount of important endorsements. She'll likely pick a running mate that is the most generic white man from the Midwest to make her more appealing to certain voters. She's typically a great debater.
She's also younger and can build up a younger coalition. She has more energy and is more exciting. She's starting fresh and not exhausted from years of campaigning already.
That being said, she is a black Indian woman, and there are plenty of people out there who will hate that. There are also plenty that love it. But statistically, actual voters who actually vote lean older, whiter, maler, richer. And those demographics are more likely to lean on the "hate" side of this.
Trump and Rs have spent years attacking someone who isn't even the candidate anymore, which is a huge waste of time of energy. But they are also able to fundraise off of this and can change their messaging. Trump doesn't usually make sense during debates, but the bar is SO low that if he's coherent at all it's seen as a win (see the debate episode of Parks and Rec). His running mate is also part of his cult of personality, so it doesn't actually broaden his appeal to regular Rs.
We also need to factor in RFK (ew). But if he's going to "steal" votes from anyone, it's going to be Trump. Crazy people are crazy people.
Also, I remember seeing some polling last week that put Kamala and Joe at about the same percentage compared to Trump.
The most important thing, as always, is to vote. And even if you live in a state where the electoral college makes it not really matter much, still vote. Because those down ballot races are usually MORE impactful than than President and Congress anyway. And people who run for POTUS and Congress have to start somewhere. Vote for good people for school board, city council, county supervisor, any municipal seat that exists.

To make some things clear:
I don't think not voting makes things better and I do support the idea that people should vote, but I think that there should be some context for the presidential elections of the United States of America:
First: Hillary Clinton won the popular vote in 2016. (CNN report just to provide an extra source.) The reason she was not elected as POTUS was because she did not win the electoral college, the electoral college being the deciding factor of the USA presidential election.
Quotes from the FAQ on archive.gov:
"It is important to remember that the President is not chosen by a national popular vote. The Electoral College vote totals determine the winner, not the statistical plurality or majority a candidate may have in the national popular vote totals. Electoral votes are awarded on the basis of the popular vote in each state."
"Nothing in the Constitution prevents your State from using something other than your State’s popular vote results to appoint electors." (This answer being directly in response to the question "Can my State vote for the winner of the national popular vote instead of my State’s winner?")
Here is a link that's a description of the Electoral College for kids of all ages. It's a good resource and it explained it to me well.
Electoral college seats are directly correlated to representatives and senators of the state.
From archive.gov:
"Electoral votes are allocated among the States based on the Census. Every State is allocated a number of votes equal to the number of Senators and Representatives in its U.S. Congressional delegation—two votes for its Senators in the U.S. Senate plus a number of votes equal to the number of its Congressional districts."
Many people have assumed that gerrymandering has taken place in the allocation of state representatives but it hasn't been "proven", however, here is a list of how many state representatives are in the USA and the number each state has.
I'm not giving this information to tell people not to vote, because voting IS important and DOES have weight in the electoral college votes. However, the voting power is not in popular vote.
It is correct to say that idealism does not win in an election, I just wanted to add context to how the polling system works. It's not as easy as voting for who you want to and the popular vote means very little. Keep it in mind as the election rolls around and remember that your state reps and senators ARE voted for by you, as well. The USA has thirty thousand secretaries of bureaucrats between you and the presidential election.
Please vote and please find comfort in the fact that, if it doesn't get better, it's at least not going to exponentially worse. Apathy only goes so far to numb you and rolling backwards isn't going to make your life better. It sucks to keep pushing but this right here is an awful reminder that not doing something annoying can lead to something deadly.
Keep your chins up. These are interesting times.
such a huge relief that hillary’s so ahead in the polls and trump has such a small chance of winning, right? WRONG. DO NOT GET APATHETIC OR COMFORTABLE. DO NOT DECIDE YOU DON’T NEED TO VOTE BECAUSE YOU’RE SURE HILLARY WILL WIN. the only way trump can win now is if so many people expected to vote for hillary don’t show up to the polls. because you BETTER believe ALL of his supporters will be at the polls.
brexit passed in the UK because young people grew apathetic because they were sure it wasn’t going to pass. and it did, because old racists and xenophobes showed up in DROVES to vote.
tl;dr: VOTE, PEOPLE. VOTE LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT. IT MIGHT.

#Amreading #Newrelease2024: The MAGA Conspiracy: (Make America Great Again) by Jasmine Stone
In U.S. politics, MAGA is an acronym commonly known as “Make America Great Again"; a slogan/movement made popular by businessman for POTUS, Donald Trump, in 2016. It is also used to refer to Trump's political base, or an individual or group of individuals within said base. Although, armed with assault weapons, and ready to defend Democracy and the American flag, you will soon discover this is the last thing MAGAs want to do.
Unbeknownst to most, MAGA, has since been described as a loaded phrase(i.e., It means a lot more than it says; It has a secret meaning). Many journalists, scholars, and commentators conclude the MAGA slogan is dog-whistle politics (i.e., coded or suggestive language in messaging to garner support from a particular [racist] group without provoking the opposition [liberal-minded individuals]). In other words, MAGA is a seemingly neutral term used to rally the troops (i.e., the white supremacist minions) and to maintain an oppressive power structure in broad daylight.
According to the Census Bureau, 57.6% of Americans in the United States identify as white and 14.4% identify as black (i.e., African American). Howbeit, since the 1960’s, civil rights leaders have challenged the Census Bureau’s MAGA statistics deeming them produced by racists. They argue there’s an over-count of white people and an under-count of black people. Believe it or not, there is ample proof to support this conclusion. Hence, the African American population in the United States could be as high as 25%.
Why do you think the "Black Vote" is in great demand during election years? Why do you think MAGAs go to great lengths to suppress the black vote? Why do you think MAGAs use illegal gerrymandering tactics to erase strong black voting districts? If actions speak louder than LIES, the MAGA actions indicate they feel strongly threatened by black people. This will explain the rise in the assaults and harassment of black people by MAGA cops.
When MAGAs target a demographic, they try to do it in a way that those victimized don't realize they're being attacked. So, it would behoove you to familiarize yourself with the basics of politics so that you see these attacks coming before they happen. You should also discover the subconscious manipulations that targeted you from birth and how to break free of the unseen influences that's been making you defeat yourself (do their work for them).

I know it is still early but do you know if there is any interesting history facts about the new president and vp
I'm still a little dazed and trying to wrap my head around the position the American voters have put us in for the years to come, so you'll have to give me a little more time to put everything into more historical context, but there a few quick tidbits to mention.
The obvious historical tidbit was the one everyone had already been talking about: Trump is the second President to win non-consecutive terms in the White House, after Grover Cleveland, who won the 1884 election (against James G. Blaine), lost the 1888 election to Benjamin Harrison, and then defeated Harrison in 1892.
The ages of Trump and Vance also stand out. Trump will be the oldest President ever inaugurated when he is sworn in: Biden was 78 years, 61 days old when he took office in January 2021; Trump will be 78 years, 220 days old. After Inauguration Day, these will be the five oldest Presidents at the beginning of their term: 1. Donald Trump (2nd Administration): 78 years, 220 days 2. Joe Biden: 78 years, 61 days 3. Donald Trump (1st Administration): 70 years, 220 days 4. Ronald Reagan: 69 years, 349 days 5. William Henry Harrison: 68 years, 23 days
Vance is on the other end of the spectrum. He'll be the third-youngest Vice President in history when he is sworn in. Here's what the list of five youngest VPs in history will look like after Inauguration Day: 1. John C. Breckinridge: 36 years, 47 days 2. Richard Nixon: 40 years, 11 days 3. JD Vance: 40 years, 171 days 4. Dan Quayle: 41 years, 351 days 5. Theodore Roosevelt: 42 years, 128 days
And the age difference between Trump and Vance is, by a significant margin, the biggest age difference between a President and Vice President in American history. Trump is 38 years, 49 days older than Vance -- in fact, Trump is almost twice Vance's age. The next biggest age difference was James Buchanan, who was 29 years, 273 days older than his Vice President, John C. Breckinridge.

Democrats did have the majority in both houses of Congress when Roe was overturned, and did attempt to pass a bill, protecting abortion access. Republicans didn’t overturn it, they filibustered it. And because of the filibuster, there is no chance to codify Roe (or trans rights or pass the Equality Act or the John Lewis Voting Rights Act amongst other things) because that would require 9 Republicans to allow the passage vote to even happen — that’s what the filibuster does.
It would require every Republican seat up in this cycle to flip, which statistically cannot happen, to be able to overcome a filibuster. At least half would need to flip to get the current risk averse Dem leadership to even consider eliminating the filibuster (and it is quite risky) and that’s not going to happen either. The most likely outcome of this cycle in the Senate is that it will end up in another 50-50 split or Republicans will take a one seat majority.
It is imperative that Democrats keep the White House. It is imperative that Democrats recapture the House of Representatives.
We are quickly sliding into fascism. Democratic control alone isn’t going to stop the slide, but it will slow it down. Letting either of these two branches get back into the hands of Republicans, regardless of who the Republican POTUS candidate ends up being, will destroy us. We won’t be talking about codifying Roe, we will be talking about how we survive as a people.
after roe v wade got overturned under biden (a constitutional right we had for FIFTY years) i don’t believe any of the goofy “biden is better for domestic issues” rhetoric . you are lying to me and you are lying to yourself

statistical suggestion that the average POTUS committed 1.5 felonies is the result of an outlier: felonies georg, who was convicted of 34 and should not be counted

All of the Americans say trump is unfit to serve as potus. 170% of poll says trump is unfit and 300% says biden is fitter than trump on a bicycle and on the golf swing.
My poll is more consistent than any other polls and is the same pattern on every single pole that are out there in the country right up the pollsters’ ass.

OF 1 UNITED STATES V/S UNITED STATES .
1. Unchanged stats for decades show 'transgenders' be mere 1 in every 800 people in world ie ONLY 1 PERSON PER PRECINCT OF US(OR UK)IS TRANSGENDER! Yet whole Western world(media)seems obsessed,past 2 yrs, with this one issue of 1 woman feeling unsafe in 1 toilet in 1 corner of the world. This to me smacks of a deep subconscious breeding in Darwinianism of English society, accentuated by an abysmally low breeding in divine/spiritual belief or faith.
2. And the new by-product of Western thought-culture - the 'gender dysphoric'. 👇 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_dysphoria
Whilst being sensitive to their plight.. This seems a direct result of, alpha male popular culture from 1960s-2000s, followed by alpha female bent thereafter. Scaring both genders into defense mode.
3. A US man or woman works 1800 hrs a year on avg. He earns a $9/hr MINIMUM WAGE on avg.
80% men or women earning avg min wage in US, in a family of 1 ie living alone, LIVE BELOW THE POVERTY LINE! & God forbid if with a partner. 1. https://aspe.hhs.gov/2021-poverty-guidelines 2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_wage_in_the_United_States
Btw,this amounts to 25 MILLION AMERICANS 👇 IE. 8% OF AMERICA LIVES BELOW THE POVERTY LINE!
https://www.investopedia.com/articles/personal-finance/022615/can-family-survive-us-minimum-wage.asp
But of course a issue that despite unabashed promises (on $15/hr Act) in campaign,seemingly remains 'unimportant' to POTUS.
Oh but it will be..1-1.5 yrs later!
Wait & watch..oops hear!
4. On the other big unkept POTUS promise..STUDENT LOAN FORGIVENESS!
~50 MILLION AMERICANS IE 16% AMERICA LIVES FROM POST-TEEN TO DEATH (EVEN IN 70+ YR LIFE) WITH AN AVG $40,000 STUDENT DEBT FOREVER HANGING ON THEIR HEADS, DESPITE PAYING ~70% OF THEIR MONTHLY INCOME SINCE AGE 25 TO REPAYING IT!

b. https://www.brookings.edu/blog/brown-center-chalkboard/2023/04/23/key-lessons-for-the-u-s-from-analyses-of-student-loan-systems-all-around-the-world/
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA HAS BECOME A KLEPTOCRACY OF ITSELF!
IE BOTTOM 80% OF USA HAS FOR PAST 30 YRS SINCE 1990'S, BECOME A SLAVE TO IT'S TOP 1% ! ...& IT'S TIME THE USA STARTED CALLING THAT TOP 1% ANOTHER NOTIONAL NATION IN ITSELF !
AND BOTH DEMOCRATS & REPUBLICS, AT DIFFERENT TIMES IN HISTORY, DEMOCRATS AS NEAR AS TILL MONTHS BACK, WITH NUMBERS ON THEIR SIDE, THAT YET, WE KNOW, MANUFACTURED HISTORICALLY UNNATURAL REASONS, TO PREVENT LEGISLATION ON THESE FUNDAMENTAL ISSUES, AS VEHEMENTLY PROMISED IN ELECTIONS.
AND SO SADLY FOR YOU AMERICA, THAT TOP 1% AMERICA INCLUDES AS HISTORICALLY PERCEIVED ~70% OF YOUR ELECTED POLITICIANS, COMBINING MEMBERS OF BOTH PARTIES, DEMOCRATS & REPUBLICANS!
& GOD SAVE AMERICA....YOU'RE GOD DAMN RIGHT !
5. Now to the media-driven muscle+ army culture + woke culture in US, a phenomena that known or unknown to them, could be turning society Orwellian in nature! :
This week's 'US subway choke death case' is a classic eg.,that's set to occupy msm for next month.
Video clearly shows 3-4 tough guys surrounding a guy professionally choking another guy for at least half min on camera, & to his death.
Be tough to prove self-defense, even if believe bystander a/c's of how (unknown) dead guy,verbally threatened violence.
But amazingly, there's a section of media vehemently supporting this reaction,& even calling it heroic,& finding traction.
THAT'S ARMY CULTURE.
And literally a hundred-thousand egs. could be given to the same effect.
And let's not forget drug culture, on right & left & every which way, making things all the more 'highly pathetic'. (A US NCDAS 2021 report infact revealing how 1/3rd adult USA today as part of culture is into consumption of hard drugs,& zoned out,so to say!)
Another modern addition to US society is 'Wokeism'-it's motives clearly being to deconstruct & dismantle traditional societal templates of co-habitation & growth. Eg create valley of fear for girls in motherhood, or a suffocating binary of alpha male or gay.
WOKEISM IS EMOTIONAL EMASCULATON OF SPIRIT. IE FANCY SICKULARISM
Bringing us motives of Sickularism- To break traditional mental & psychological support systems of society,eroding anchors of love & trust, & leaving them v.easily impressionable to political fear-mongering & manipulation.
The haters of Hitler, but lovers of an Orwellian society.

"Avarage POTUS gets indicted 1,543 times post presidency" factoid actually just statistical error. Avarage POTUS gets indicted 0 times post presidency. Indictment George, who lives in a shabby resort and commits about 5 felonies each day, is an outlier and should not have been counted."
Context.

Walz stated that Trump lost the most manufacturing jobs of any President in American history.
Well, it turns out that was a bare faced lie and easily disproven. Seriously, this is how the libtard demoNrat wannabes act – they just make shit up!
CNN – yeah, I know, right! – fact checked Walz and found that he lied.
It is true that Trump lost around 178,000 manufacturing jobs during his tenure (according to CNN), BUT, before the C19 scamdemic (initiated by the Democratic Party and the “blob” that includes the intel community, Fauci and Collins et al) Trump had actually CREATED around 414,000 jobs (according to CNN).
Check out the first clip here.
Walz Caught In Another Whopper About Trump - CNN Schools Him- Imagine That!
As the patriot article put it:
“However, CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale quickly called him out for this false statement.
“It’s not true that the Trump presidency lost more manufacturing jobs than any other presidency,” Dale told host Kate Bolduan on “CNN News Central.” “Under George W. Bush, there were about 4.5 million manufacturing jobs lost. Under Trump, it was about 178,000. But there are also more manufacturing jobs lost than under Trump: under Eisenhower, under Ford, under Reagan. So, Trump does not have the record.”
Dale also pointed out that the job losses under Trump were primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which affected job numbers across all industries. Before the pandemic, the manufacturing sector actually saw a gain of 414,000 jobs under Trump’s administration.”
Imagine having someone like that as VPOTUS – the imagine the judgement of a POTUS that would pick such a blatant liar as VP. Hopefully this will promote more fact checks by outlets like CNN on every lie uttered by Harris/Walz,
