HARRY TRUMAN had one daughter. His administration had mixed success and failures. He ended WW11, helped Israel, and fought the spread of the Soviet empire, but China and half of Korea were lost, along with over 50,000 GIs.
JIMMIE CARTER had one daughter. He tried to be a peace maker, but stunk at economics and saving hostages. a mixed bag.
BILL CLINTON had one daughter (no other kids that we know of). He had our last balanced budget, with Republican help, but he brought shame on the White House. His foreign policy was a mixed bag too. And there may be other misdeeds we don't know about.
PRESIDENT JOHNSON (LBJ) had two daughters. He made the Vietnam war last ten years and we lost over 50,000 GIs. Enough said?
PRESIDENT NIXON had two daughters. He did some good things, but had to resign to avoid impeachment. Clearly a mixed bag,
GEORGE W. BUSH had two daughters. He was right on a lot of issues, but got is into another quagmire. Two endless wars. Mixed bag.
BARACK OBOMA had two daughters. You know the rest of the story (Biden's puppet master). Biden made the big decisions and Oboma made the small decisions. There were no big decisions. BHO was not a mixed bag. He caused near-fatal wounds to America's chances of survival.
It has been said that there are no coincidences. At least Trump had sons and more than two kids.
P.S. What's the point? I just want to give you some hope to cling to, in addition to your religion and guns.

Curtis Dahlgren is semi-retired in southern Wisconsin, and is the author of "Massey-Harris 101." His career has had some rough similarities to one of his favorite writers, Ferrar Fenton. In the intro to The Fenton Bible, Fenton said:
"I was in '53 a young student in a course of education for an entirely literary career, but with a wider basis of study than is usual. . . . In commerce my life has been passed. . . . Indeed, I hold my commercial experience to have been my most important field of education, divinely prepared to fit me to be a competent translator of the Bible, for it taught me what men are and upon what motives they act, and by what influences they are controlled. Had I, on the other hand, lived the life of a Collegiate Professor, shut up in the narrow walls of a library, I consider that I should have had my knowledge of mankind so confined to glancing through a 'peep-hole' as to make me totally unfit for [my life's work]."
In 1971-72 Curtis did some writing for the Badger Herald and he is listed as a University of Wisconsin-Madison "alumnus" (loosely speaking, along with a few other drop-outs including John Muir, Charles Lindbergh, Frank Lloyd Wright and Dick Cheney). [He writes humor, too.]
