Trump Commits Impeachable Offense

https://plus.google.com/100212344229354267307/posts/jDoTKNyP8Wi

    Trump probably has committed many Impeachable Offenses, but he has also covered up that with fake news, and tweets covering his butt by distractions, misdirection and out and out bluster.

    This time, it wasn’t for firing James Comey from his job as FBI Director, but a disregard of intelligence information he handed over to…

A female president can highlight women’s issues and possibly, really make things happen! This is a needed item in America. We all at Tumblr that blog about women’s issues are spot on when it comes to highlighting the positive and negative, but action needs to be taken. With a leader in the White House, after actions comes a central authority to put these together.

Hillary Clinton isn’t the only presidential candidate to proudly identify as a feminist. In an interview with a Washington Post reporter published on Thursday, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders discussed feminism and simply and straightforwardly identified as one. To Sanders, feminism means “a commitment to fighting for women’s rights,” which he claims he’s maintained throughout his political career. Like Clinton, who simply defined a feminist as “someone who believes in equal rights,” Sanders proved he’s able to look beyond the loaded, misleading controversy that the term has always been shrouded in and understand the movement as inherently simple and just.

But discussing feminism as the leading challenger against a female candidate for the presidency begs the natural question of Sanders’ thoughts on the need for a female POTUS. It’s certainly a question that the predominantly male GOP field hasn’t addressed when discussing either Clinton or Carly Fiorina, the GOP’s only female candidate. And while it’s important that gender not sway how contenders for the presidency treat each other, or how voters make their choices, it’s an important concept to discuss.

Our nation has never been governed by a female president, thanks to both historical and modern misogyny. It’s a concept that isn’t easy for male presidential candidates to talk about without unwittingly advancing their female rivals, and yet Sanders managed to offer a strong response that was both political and compassionate.

“I do understand there is a desire on the part of many women, perfectly understandable, to see a woman being elected president. And we all want to see that,” Sanders stated, when asked if he believed women understood his stance on women’s rights. “We want to see women hold more political offices. But I also would hope that, in these enormously difficult times, where it is absolutely imperative that we stand up to the billionaire class, bring our people together, to fight for a progressive agenda, that all people — women — look at that candidate who has the record to do that.”

Sanders proceeded to discuss both women’s rights and economic equity, as well as the strong intersection of the two issues and how his platform advances both:

“[Y]ou’re looking at somebody who … has a 100 percent pro-choice voting record … somebody who’s made … a key part of my campaign, the need for at least three months of family and medical leave; somebody who is fighting to raise the minimum wage over a two year period to $15 an hour, which will benefit … women actually more than men; somebody who regards it as enormously important that we fight for pay equity for women; somebody who believes that our child care system is a disaster today and that we need to have the best childcare/pre-K system in the world, making it universal and affordable.”

052014 Santa Maria discovered…

”In 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue”, or so you may have remembered. Well, he quit the Santa Maria when reaching the New World, after it sank about 12 miles off of Haiti. This was announced in a New York boat club recently, a few days ago. The Santa Maria discovery may have been named too soon, though armaments, wooden ship items of the era and planking was found where it had been recorded by Christopher Columbus, then. It is believed to be so. Found from a written record, this was released. . Who knows what remnants of that time will be recovered? Visions of pirate bones, treasure and doubloons swim in our collective heads. This important discovery has the government involved.

The ''Santa Maria''?

EARTH, A PLANET? WHEN!?

    When the Earth was first proven as a planet cannot be set to one date. The Greeks in the 6th century BC had discussed how the Earth was a sphere, but how large? Eratosthenes in about 240 BC discovered that it was 250,000 stadia, or about 40,000 km (25,000 miles) by measuring shadows at noon in Syene and Alexandria. From the angle and distances, he used trigonometry to determine the size. It was speculated until the 7th century AD, when the flat earth theory finally disappeared. However, it took until Columbus in 1492 proved with hard evidence that the earth was round, and finally the way to India (the Philapines), by Magellan about 1521. Surprisingly, he knew that.
