Hillary:

"If you want to talk to Kim Jong Un about his nuclear weapons you need experienced diplomats." 

You mean like her husband who gave North Korea the nukes?

Hillary Clinton has warned that the Trump administration "was not recognizing the danger" in discussing nuclear disarmament with Pyongyang, and said Washington lacked experienced diplomats to handle the talks.

"If you want to talk to Kim Jong Un about his nuclear weapons you need experienced diplomats," Clinton was quoted as telling Dutch tabloid Algemeen Dagblad in an interview published on Saturday.

"These are people familiar with the dossiers and who know the North Koreans and their language," Trump's presidential rival said in an interview conducted in Amsterdam and published in Dutch.

The former secretary of state said, however, that the U.S. State Department was "being eroded" and that experienced diplomats on the North Korean issue were in short supply, with many having left.

"You cannot have diplomacy without diplomats," she said, adding "the danger is not being recognized by the Trump government."

Clinton's words echo those of Bill Richardson, veteran diplomat and former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. He warned that negotiating with North Korea was not "reality television."

"It's a real opportunity ... I worry about the president's unpreparedness and lack of discipline. But I commend him for his very bold move in accepting the invitation," Richardson told AFP on Friday.

"But this is not 'The Apprentice' or a reality TV event. It's a negotiation with an unpredictable leader who has at least 20 nuclear weapons and who threatens the United States," he said.

Al Roker opens up about his 15-year-old son's development delays and his fears he would 'never walk or talk'

Didn't know about Roker's son so I thought I would read this story from tabloid trash Daily Mail's website. Their hatred for Trump is so deep it's indescribable. Somehow Roker and The Daily Mail are trying to imply Trump is responsible for his kid's developmental challenges! You know, like how Barbara Streisand blamed Trump for gaining weight.

["The journalist went on to describe how her son's challenges started to materialize almost immediately after his birth."]

So they noticed his challenges when he was born in 2003. Surprised they didn't borrow Barry's favorite line..."It's Bush's fault."

Wonder if these assholes know how ridiculous they sound?

-------------------------------

Al Roker and his wife Deborah Roberts have finally revealed the developmental challenges their 15-year-old son Nicholas has faced.

The 63-year-old Today show host and his ABC News journalist wife opened up to People at the 2018 ADAPT Leadership Awards Gala in New York on Thursday.

'He was dealing with some developmental delays,' they told the magazine, before Deborah got more detailed.

'There has been a stigma over the years, especially if it’s not an obvious challenge that people know, and I think to be able to share and inspire and to give other people the encouragement, I think that life can be enriched and can be better and can be in some ways richer when you are loving and supporting and dealing with somebody who is dealing with challenges.'

She added that 'we hope that more people will be open to expressing and maybe sharing that a lot of us are dealing with challenges in life.'

The journalist went on to describe how her son's challenges started to materialize almost immediately after his birth.

'It was pretty apparent that he was facing some challenges,' she explained 'and we weren’t sure what his world and what our future would be.'

But they soon put together a team including therapists and specialists who were instrumental in his growth. 'We watched him blossom,' she added.

The 57-year-old also discussed the anxiety that her and her husband felt after he was born.

'We wondered was he going to speak? Was he going to walk,' she said, before getting more positive, describing how 'in no time, he was running and talking more than I thought he would ever do.

All together! Al and Deborah also share 20-year-old daughter Leila (family pictured in March 2009)

Weatherman Al also added that Donald Trump's divisive comments were not helpful when it came to motivating people and helping people accept his son.

'There’s been a lot of talk about building big, beautiful walls,' he said, 'well, we have to tear down those walls, tear them down, make them nice.'

Cell phones vs Guns

So when there's a shooting liberals need to redirect the blame. Lurking behind the bushes is one of three 'culprits'. The gun itself, tighter gun control laws, the NRA. Usually, it's all three. Now L.L. Bean, Walmart, Dick's, etc put a stop to selling certain guns.

Both of these 'weapons' require the user to take some action. According to the article below which one inflicts the most injury?

Which one gets all the notoriety?

-----------------------------

• Over 2.5 million people in the U.S. are involved in road accidents each year. The population of the US is just 318.9 million. At this rate, the American people could be extinct in two human lifespans. This is an astounding number of traffic accidents.
• Of these, 1.6 million have a cell phone involved in them. That’s 64% of all the road accidents in the United States. Over half the road accidents in the States have cell phones involved, and if this doesn’t make you realize just how potent it is, what will?
• 37,000+ people die in automobile crashes in the U.S every year
• Every year, about 421,000 people are injured in crashes that have involved a driver who was distracted in some way.
• Each year, over 330,000 accidents caused by texting while driving lead to severe injuries. This means that over 78% of all distracted drivers are distracted because they have been texting while driving.
• 1 out of 4 car accidents in the US are caused by texting while driving.
• Texting and driving is 6 times more likely to get you in an accident than drunk driving. That’s right, it is actually safer for someone to get wasted and get behind the wheel than to text and do it.
• It takes an average of three seconds after a driver’s mind is taken off the road for any road accident to occur. This is the bare minimum amount of time it takes, and it is surprisingly small. Three seconds is the time it takes to turn your ignition when starting your car.
• Reading a text message while driving successfully distracts a driver for a minimum of five seconds each time. This means that the chances of an accident occurring while reading a text is extremely high indeed.
• The average speed in the US is about 55mph. Taking five seconds to read a text in this time means that the driver travels the length of a football field without looking at the road, or being distracted. There are so many vehicles on the road now that this means there is a huge chance of something terrible happening in this distance.
• When you text while driving, the time that you spend with your eyes off the road increases by about 400%. It is already dangerous enough to be distracted by NATURE while driving. So why make things 4 times as bad by texting?
• The chances of a crash because of any reason is increased by 23 times when you are texting. Even if the crash is another driver’s fault, you will probably have been able to avoid it if you had been looking at the road instead of the phone.
• When you compare this to the 2.8 times more risk that dialing a number on a phone imparts, you know that you are playing with fire.
• Every day, 11 teenagers die because they were texting while driving.
• 94% of teenagers understand the consequences of texting and driving, but 35% of them admitted that they do it anyway.
• Of all the teenagers ever involved in fatal accidents every year, 21% were using a cell phone at the time of the accident.
• Teen drivers have a 400% higher chance of being in a car crash when texting while driving than adults.
• 25% of teens respond to at least one text while driving, every single time.
• 10% of adults and 20% of teenagers have admitted that they have entire conversations over text message platforms while driving.
• 82% of American teenagers own a cell phone and use it regularly to call and text message.
• 52% of these talk on the phone while driving, and 32% text on the road.
• When polled, 77% of adults and 55% of teenage drivers say that they can easily manage texting while driving.
• When teens text while they drive, they veer off lane 10% of their total drive time.
• A study at the University of Utah found out that the reaction time for a teen using a cell phone is the same as that of a 70-year-old who isn’t using one.
• 48% of kids in their younger teenage years have been in a car while the driver was texting. Over 1600 children in the same age group are killed each year because of crashes involving texters.

TV Ratings: Oscars Drop to All-Time Low 26.5 Million Viewers

Okay, I haven't watched the Oscars like forever. But FOX reported only two minutes into the show the Trump bashing began. I suppose this is turning a lot of people off. Funny thing though. In the last 4 or 5 months, you can't watch TV or go on the internet without reading something about Weinstein's mile-long line of women who were sexually abused. So there should have been some Weinstein bashing right? 

Nope...he's a Democrat. 

Weinstein Accusers

(He's getting into Bill Clinton territory)

----------------------------

A comparatively uneventful Oscar telecast led the way on TV Sunday night — though updated numbers have the telecast somewhat predictably stumbling to an all-time low.

The kudocast, nearly four hours long, tumbled 19 percent from the previous year to 26.5 million viewers. That's easily the least-watched Oscars in history, trailing 2008 by more than 5 million. Overnight returns had the lengthy ABC broadcast averaging an 18.9 rating among households between 8 and 11 p.m. ET. Compared to the same stat for 2017, the night the wrong best picture winner was named, that was down a more modest 16 percent.
