The Top 5 WEIRDEST U.S. Presidents OF ALL TIME!!

Image
Throughout American history, some presidents have stood out not just for their policies or achievements, but for their unusual habits, strange behaviors, and outright eccentricities. From the chaotic to the quietly bizarre, these leaders each had quirks that set them apart from the rest. In today’s video, we won’t be judging any presidents by their performance as commander in chief, rather focusing primarily on their oddities. So let’s jump right into it as we count down the 5 weirdest presidents in U.S. history, complete with the quirks and anecdotes that make them truly unforgettable. 5. Lyndon B. Johnson LBJ may not be the first president you think of when it come to weirdness, but anyone who worked closely with him knew there was nothing ordinary about his presence. Standing over six feet tall with a commanding presence and personality, he had a unique way of getting people to do exactly what he wanted – a technique that became known as “the Johnson treatment.’ This wasn’t just per...

5 Reasons Humans Are NOT Going To Mars In The Near Future

Image
  Apart from our home, the Earth, Mars is by far the most habitable planet in our Solar System.  In fact, it’s the only planet that is even in the discussion for humans to potentially visit someday.  Being so close to the sun, Venus and Mercury are non-starters with their extreme temperatures and solar radiation among many other problems, making them absolutely off limits for humans.  Beyond Mars, there are only gas giants with no surfaces, but these planets are so large that even if we could walk on them, the gravity alone would be deadly.  And so, Mars is the planet we imagine astronauts someday visiting; it’s the planet stories are written about and movies are made about. But one man, Elon Musk, has aspirations of making these stories and movies a reality.  His vision for Mars includes a self-sustaining civilization on the red planet, with the goal of ensuring the long-term survival of our species.  The thought of a human civilization thriving on Ma...

The Top 5 U.S. Presidents Of All Time

Image
Welcome back to another presidential blog here on Stuff That Happened; a couple videos back, I ranked my Worst 5 Presidents of all time and that video got a lot of activity and lots of you asked me to do my Top 5 U.S. Presidents of all time, and today that request will be granted. I have done my own personal rankings before and they do evolve some over time, but as of today, after some hard consideration, I have come up with my top 5. Let me know your top 5 in the comment section down below, but like I did for my 5 worst, I'll give 3 quick honorable mentions who I considered, but they missed the cut. These mentions are in no particular order. Honorable Mentions John F. Kennedy I lot of people expected JFK to be on my most overrated video, but that wasn't going to happen because I rank JFK quite high, although I couldn't quite put him in the top 5, mainly because he served as President less than 3 years before he was assassinated, causing him to fail to accomplish some of...

Top 5 Most OVERRATED U.S. Presidents

Image
Welcome back to another presidential blog on Stuff That Happened and today I'll be ranking my 5 most OVER-RATED presidents in United States history. To determine who is overrated, I'm looking at some of the famous historical surveys and on Wikipedia, we can see Presidents with more blue and green indicate a more favorable ranking. I looked through every President with a favorable ranking on most surveys, and picked out the 5 most overrated in my opinion and today we'll talk about why I feel they're overrated while also looking back at their performance as President and attempting to answer why they are looked at so favorably. Keep in mind, I'm not saying these Presidents were necessarily awful or among the worst; in fact, none of them made my Worst 5 of All Time list, although one was a dishonorable mention. But they are all, in my opinion anyway, over-rated. William McKinley 5. William McKinley McKinley is consistently ranked in the upper half of Presidential ranki...

The TEXAS 7 - The Most DARING Prison Escape Ever & 7 DANGEROUS Men With NOTHING TO LOSE Wreak HAVOC!

Image
On December 13th, 2000, seven inmates incarcerated at John B. Connelly Unit near Kenedy, Texas made one of the most daring and elaborate escapes ever successfully pulled off at a maximum security facility.  The seven men had originally committed various heinous but unrelated crimes and were all serving severe prison sentences.  But they became a dangerous unit whose reckless and deadly behavior during the escape caused massive anger and tragedy within the community.  The group became known as the Texas Seven, something that sounds straight out of the Old West.  In today's video, we'll look into this riveting escape and the tragic outcome - the result of 7 dangerous criminals being on the loose with nothing to lose.  They had become absolutely desperate - and without morals or a willingness to surrender - their desperation resulted in multiple deaths.  George Angel Rivas Jr. , the ringleader of the Texas 7,  was born in El Paso, Texas on May 6th, 1970....
