Day 22 of Women I Admire is Benazir Bhutto

 Day 22 of Women I Admire is Benazir Bhutto

Benazir Bhutto is just extraordinary in every sense of the word. She was the first female Prime Minister in a Muslim-majority nation, and at the age of 35, she was the youngest elected leader in the Islamic world, the world’s youngest Prime Minister, and the youngest female Prime Minister ever elected. The Taliban claimed responsibility for her assassination, which is kind of the only thing they’re capable of doing, which speaks volumes about their shitty organization.

President Johnson Timelapse

Before he entered the world of politics, President Johnson was a teacher at a tiny Hispanic school on the Mexican border. Mexico hadn’t yet paid for the wall that was supposed to be built, so he gladly taught there prior to the Great Depression. He was nearly killed in WW2, and after his nasty campaign against Kennedy, he accepted the nomination to be Kennedy’s VP. Johnson is noted for his “Great Society” program that included several civil rights bills and medicare, and bills the improved education, crime prevention and pollution reduction. Dude was working his ass off to be honest with you. 

He appointed Thurgood Marshall to the Supreme Court and is noted for making a decision not to run for a second term. He was an aggressive politician, and when ordering pants from Haggar Clothing, told Mr. Haggar, “the crotch down where your nuts hang, is always a little too tight. When you make them up, give me a inch that I can let out there, because they cut me, like riding a fence wire.” Every man can understand this analogy.

35th President of the United States, John F. Kennedy

If you have followed my blog for several years, you already know this is a repost. When I started the presidential collection, Kennedy was one of the first 10 or so that I drew. This is from 2009. That being said, let's get into some information about President Kennedy.

John F. Kennedy - 35th President of the United States - 11x14 - Graphite

John F. Kennedy realized how effective you could be in front of a television, and fucking destroyed Nixon in their presidential debate. They were both cordial, but Nixon looked stiff and someone the nation couldn’t relate to. After the debate, Kennedy posted on his personal Facebook account, ‘Nixon was sweating like a pig lol.’ 

This televised debate is what helped Kennedy win the election. He was relatively unknown at the time. As America’s first Catholic president, he wrestled with the same ignorant ass questions that Mitt Romney faced as a Mormon. The televised debate was so effective that it would be 16 years before there was another one. Both Lyndon Johnson and later on, Nixon again, refused to participate in them because of how powerful the visual medium was. 

Kennedy’s father made such a shit ton of money bootlegging and pimping, he was able to donate his entire presidential salary to various charitable causes. He feared running against George Romney, Mitt Romney’s father, and considered dropping Johnson from his ticket. His promiscuity is no secret, but a little known secret is that he used the Secret Service to smuggle women in and out of the White House.  

Day 21 of Women I Admire is Freddie Oversteegen

 Day 21 of Women I Admire is Freddie Oversteegen

Freddie is the sister of Truus Oversteegen, and lured Nazi officers into the woods at the age of 14. Thinking they'd have a fun time with a woman barely into her teens, they'd "accidentally" run into one of her older friends who'd scold her for being out so late. From there, the Nazi officer would be stripped naked, shot, and buried in a grave that was already dug for him. Too bad she wasn't in Charlottesville when Richard Spencer and his band of merry Nazis were protesting. She spent time killing them and we're allowing them to protest in the United States. Shame...
