Key West Lou / PUTIN WANTS MORE BABIES FOR RUSSIA AS HITLER WANTED FOR GERMANY

Authoritarian figures are amazing! They operate in similar fashions.

Putin announced this past week he wanted Russian women to have more babies. Dictators require a larger population. There is strength in numbers.

Hitler asked for the same thing from German women. He went further than Putin. Offered “rewards/acknowledgements” for more babies. In the late 1930’s, Hitler began providing women producing children with the Mother’s Cross. Provided each year on August 12, his mother’s birthday. The awards similar to those provided in the Olympics. A gold cross for 7 children, silver for 6, and bronze for 5.

Big numbers. He really wanted them to produce!

The question enters my mind that if Trump were to win in November, would he ask for more babies from American women? I believe the authoritarian Trump would.

What I ask now has nothing to do with increased motherhood. Query: Do you get the feeling that Trump and Vance want to offend as many women voters as possible? They seem to, inadvertently or not.

The first ever Oscar winner for Best Actor was a dog. Rin Tin Tin. Yup! So it is said.

His winning made the Oscar organization unhappy. A dog Best Actor. No way! The Oscar group believed it would place the “new” Oscar on the brink of historical embarrassment.

So Rin Tin Tin never received the glory he deserved. A new vote was taken with Rin Tin Tin being left off the list of designees.

The “known winner” was Swiss born Emil Jennings who became famous in Berlin. He won for two films in 1927 and 1928. In those days, a person could win for more than one film at a time.

Jennings was also a recognized Nazi in later years.

Rin Tin Tin’s “Oscar victory” is a Hollywood legend. An uncertainty exist, however. As the story again goes, Rin Tin Tin was voted Best Actor. However the Academy of Motion Pictures and Science, wishing to appear more seriously determined to have a human actor win the award, removed Rin Tin Tin as a choice and reran the vote.

Fact? No one is sure. The story goes both ways. Responsible people attesting to the truth on both sides.

The hot weather continues to be an abomination. I had two stops to make yesterday. A doctor visit and the bank. I was wiped out when I got home!

Physiotherapy at 9 this morning.

Enjoy your day!
