There is still daylight on the obama photo.. For a man who is so obsessed with size, tonight's pathetically tiny showing at the Washington, DC Christmas Tree Lighting has got to really sting. After all, Donald Trump promises that we can finally say "Merry Christmas" again...which would imply that we haven't been saying it, forever. MSNBC trolled Trump hard with this hilarious montage of many of the times that President Obama actually said "Merry Christmas" but whatever, we can say it again and Trumpkins are celebrating. So back to tonight...as a DC resident I can attest to how nuts the Christmas Tree Lighting normally is. Parking restrictions, metro is packed, people actually leave work early to get their kids from school to go to the ceremony. Tickets are gone fast, standing room only is also packed. It is a mob scene. The local news runs segments from the grounds and it is really festive. This year? Really, nothing. It was a normal Thursday. In fact, I found traffic to be *lighter* than normal. And the crowds? Pathetic. So many empty seats, and those that actually did show were probably staff and family members.
New estimate says 46 million Americans headed to Alzheimer’s by Maggie Fox Close to 50 million Americans could be in the early stages leading to Alzheimer’s disease right now, according to a new forecast. And 6 million people likely have it now, the team at the University of California Los Angeles calculated. The forecast is based on a lot of supposition as well as some hard data, but it’s the best estimate of how badly Alzheimer’s will affect the country in the coming years, said Keith Fargo of the Alzheimer’s Association, who was not involved in the research.
White House says questioning Trump’s health based on slurring is ‘ridiculous.’ Has it forgotten 2016? https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...otally-forgotten-2016/?utm_term=.840b8080684e The Trump White House is apparently where self-awareness goes to die. After Candidate Trump attacked President Barack Obama relentlessly for golfing, President Trump has golfed more than Obama. After Candidate Trump ran the most bare-knuckle campaign in modern history, his family has complained about the “viciousness” of politics. After Trump attacked Hillary Clinton with gusto for using a private email server as secretary of state, numerous White House aides have used private email. We can now add one more to the list. At Thursday's White House media briefing, press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders bid reporters adieu but then decided she wanted to address one more question: About Trump's health. Toward the end of his speech Wednesday on recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, you see, Trump began slurring and mispronouncing his words. But before she answered (she said Trump's mouth was dry, again), Sanders had a bone to pick. “I know that there were a lot of questions on that,” she began, “frankly, ridiculous questions.” Yes, because questioning someone's health based upon anecdote is a really bad thing to do — except of course when you're Trump and the person you're talking about is Hillary Clinton...
