We’re a little over a week away from Nintendo releasing its next console, the Switch, and the company is prepping the launchpad. If you want to secure your Nintendo Account user ID for the system, now’s the time to do so. Apparently this replaces the…
Since it is Presidents’ Day (or whatever else you call today, apostrophized or not), I thought I’d take it easy on our current president, and take a break from the regular ridicule I’ve been heaping upon him since he was sworn in. Today’s supposed to be a noble holiday, after all, so I thought I’d make an extra effort at evenhandedness, and take a look back through history at some of the rocky starts various American presidents have had on the job.
Donald Trump has unquestionably had a rocky start. But he certainly hasn’t faced the worst rocky start of any president in history, not by a long shot. Abraham Lincoln wins this honor hands-down, since the crisis started before he was even sworn in. Between Lincoln’s Election Day and his Inauguration Day, seven Southern states seceded from the Union. Lincoln was sworn in on March 4, 1861, and five weeks later Fort Sumter happened, officially kicking off the Civil War. One certainly hopes that no other United States president ever has such a rocky start to his or her term, that’s for sure.
The worst presidential start in history (on a more personal level) is also a fate I’d wish on no other. William Henry Harrison, America’s ninth president, died 31 days after being sworn into office. Harrison holds two notable records in the field of American presidential history, as his was not only the shortest term in office (unless you count the strange case of “President for a day” David Rice Atchison, which most do not), he also gave the longest inauguration speech in American history ― almost 8,500 words long ― which took him roughly two hours to orate. Also, Harrison delivered this monstrously-long speech wearing neither overcoat nor hat, even though it was a cold and wet day ― which might just have contributed to his death from pneumonia a month later.
Less-tragic (but still shocking), Ronald Reagan didn’t die while in office, but he did survive an assassination attempt only 69 days after being sworn in ― which pushed his approval rating to a high point, as the country rallied around their wounded leader.
Other tragic deaths in office have led to vice presidents being thrust into the presidency unexpectedly, and some of them have had rather noteworthy beginnings to their presidencies. The most stressful new presidency of this type we’ve ever seen was quite likely Harry Truman’s. The nation was in shock over the unexpected death of the beloved F.D.R. in April of 1945, and Truman got an early boost from the victory over the Nazis in Europe (V.E. Day happened on May 8, 1945). But by the beginning of August, Truman had to make one of the toughest decisions a president has ever had to ― whether to drop atomic bombs on Japan or not. Truman had been kept in the dark about even the existence of the Manhattan Project while he was vice president, it’s also worth noting.
Sometimes the first days of a new president didn’t hinge on external events, but from deliberate bold actions. Roughly a month after Teddy Roosevelt assumed office (after the assassination of William McKinley), he invited Booker T. Washington to the White House. This was the first time a sitting president had invited an African-American in such a fashion, so it was a provocative action to many. Roosevelt went on to grasp the reins of the presidency with vigor, and when he was done he had issued 1,081 executive orders ― almost matching the combined total (1,262) of every president who had come before him. The most prolific president previously had been Grover Cleveland, who issued 253 executive orders of his own.
Dwight D. Eisenhower spent much of the time during his early days in office ending the Korean War. He took a trip to the war zone in November of 1952, while still only president-elect. By July of 1953, an armistice was in place. When Ike left office, he also left a planned invasion of Cuba on the drawing board, which turned out to be a disaster for J.F.K.’s first days in office. The Bay of Pigs happened in April of Kennedy’s first year in office.
Trump likes to compare himself to Andrew Jackson, who faced a personal tragedy of his own before assuming office. Between his election and his inauguration, Jackson’s wife died. The election of 1828 was one of the most vicious in all of American history, complete with charges that Jackson married her before she was divorced from her previous husband. Jackson took such things personally, and he bitterly charged his political opponents with the responsibility for her death. As a result of Rachel Jackson’s death, his extended family became very important to him while in office.
This isn’t a direct parallel with Trump’s son-in-law or his daughter, but the historical comparison is interesting. Andrew Jackson relied heavily upon the advice of an unofficial “kitchen cabinet” during his presidency, which included not only members of the partisan media (pro-Jackson newspaper editors), but also one of his closest and most-trusted advisors ― his adopted son Andrew Jackson Donelson, who was also his nephew by marriage (Donelson was Jackson’s wife’s sister’s son ― who, after his father died and his mother remarried, moved in with and was adopted by the Jacksons). Donelson also moved into the White House when Jackson did, and Donelson’s wife then served as the White House’s hostess (since Rachel Jackson had died, there was no First Lady).
Jackson went on to fire his entire official cabinet, in what became known as the “Petticoat Affair,” because their wives (led by John C. Calhoun’s wife Floride) were socially snubbing the wife of his War Secretary ― the only time (so far) that an entire cabinet has been dismissed en masse by any president. Having the shortest National Security Advisor in history doesn’t even really come close. Of course, I wouldn’t put it past Trump to fire his whole cabinet at some point over some petty issue ― and I wouldn’t even be surprised if it was because a member of his family was treated badly on the social scene; but then I’m supposed to be giving Trump a break today, so I’ll just stop speculating about historical parallels altogether.
Presidents often stumble during their first few months in office, and a lot of these stumbles are later either forgiven or almost completely forgotten, especially if the rest of the president’s term works out well. For instance, Bill Clinton had the “Travelgate” scandal in May, 1993 (during his first year in office), but few remember it now. Clinton had other stumbles right out of the gate as well. He had made a campaign promise to allow gays and lesbians to serve openly in the military if elected, and did consider immediately implementing it but was counseled to take things much slower. By December of his first year in office, he unveiled “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, Don’t Pursue” (later shortened by one “don’t,” to make it easier to say). For the time it was a fairly bold move towards full acceptance, but it was also nothing short of a stop-gap compromise ― not what he had initially promised at all.
Barack Obama took office during the second-worst economic crisis in the last 100 years, and due to winning such large majorities in Congress, he was able to get both his stimulus bill and the Lily Ledbetter Act signed during his first month in office. The public’s sense of panic and fear cannot be overstated before Obama took office, as America was losing 750,000 jobs per month. But by the end of his first year in office, the economic tide had begun to turn, although the recovery took much longer than anyone had anticipated. Obama’s first six months in office were some of the most productive he’d ever see, though, as Republican resistance to his agenda began to solidify harder than cement. To give just one example, Obama boldly issued an order to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba during his first days in office, but he never actually achieved this goal in his two full terms. Not all of those early decisive moves work out all the time, in other words.
Of course, the whole notion that the “first 100 days” in office should be a new president’s most meaningful comes from Franklin D. Roosevelt’s first few months as president. This was the first time the “100 days” term was used in American politics ― it previously had referred to Napoleon’s last days of glory, from the time he escaped exile on Elba to his ultimate defeat at the Battle of Waterloo.
F.D.R. inherited the Great Depression, which had already dragged on for years. He also entered office with sky-high expectations from the public. Two days after being sworn in, he closed the entire U.S. banking system. Three days later, Congress acted to pass federal deposit insurance, to restore confidence in banks. The night before the banks would reopen, F.D.R. gave the first of his “fireside chat” radio addresses. Within two weeks, half the money people had been stuffing in their mattresses (to avoid their savings being wiped out in all the bank failures which had been happening) was re-deposited in the banking system, averting total collapse. Roosevelt went on to enact as much of his “New Deal” as fast as he possibly could. He created many of his “alphabet soup” of new federal agencies in his first 100 days, including the Civilian Conservation Corps and the Tennessee Valley Authority.
Hopefully, no other president will ever match the frenetic pace of F.D.R.’s first 100 days. I say “hopefully” because I do sincerely hope no other president will ever have to. The only president to take office in a worse situation for the country was Lincoln, after all. Roosevelt certainly didn’t solve all the nation’s problems overnight (or as fast as the banking crisis), but he sure tried his hardest to do so, in as many ways as he could possibly think up.
I guess my conclusion here would be that while nobody’s ever going to live up to F.D.R.’s first 100 days, a lot of the focus on the first days any president spends in office isn’t really reflective of their overall performance. Sometimes it is, but oftentimes it just doesn’t work out that way ― for better or for worse. Sometimes a president stumbles early, but then later recovers. Sometimes nothing much happens at the start, but then a president proves his mettle later on. I have no idea how the rest of the Trump presidency is going to play out, but it’s something to keep in mind after his first month in office, at least.

The first month of Donald Trump’s presidency has effectively functioned as an infomercial for why he is an unmitigated disaster for the United States. Trying to figure out one strand of this administration’s insanity to examine is kind of like trying to isolate the carrot pieces in a bowl of vegetable soup. Everything else keeps flooding into your hands.
Nevertheless, I’m going to give it a try. As a journalism professor, I have been especially terrified by Trump’s all-out attack on the press.
To be clear, this is not based on some kind of survival instinct. I’m not sticking up for my “team,” which I know is the lens through which many Trump supporters see politics.
No, the reason I’m terrified by Trump’s sustained attack on journalism is because it as an integral part of Trump’s plan to move toward an authoritarian government that grabs power from the other branches of government. As John McCain said over the weekend, attacking the press is “how dictators get started.”
As John McCain said over the weekend, attacking the press is ‘how dictators get started.’
As such, Trump is undermining a central tenet of American democracy, which is based on a system of checks and balances that ensures that no one person or body can amass too much power and pose a threat to the freedom of Americans. The president has to sign Congress’s bills, Congress checks the president’s executive power, and the federal courts can overturn legislation and executive actions that violate the Constitution. We all learned this in middle school, although I’m not sure Trump was paying attention. American government is defined by its system of checks and balances.
The press, going back to the time of the formation of the United States, has been viewed as playing an essential role in this balance of power as the “fourth estate,” reporting on the actions of government so that citizens have the knowledge to govern themselves, and exposing wrongdoing when members of the government overstep their power. As Thomas Jefferson famously said:
Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.
So how does journalism’s fourth estate function operate in the Trump universe? Trump is trying to grab power the same way he was elected, via a campaign of fear. Trump has constructed a fake version of the United States, one that resembles a post-apocalyptic wasteland found in a science fiction movie. In the face of these threats ― of murderous Islamists and Mexican rapists flooding into the country, of voter fraud, of skyrocketing murder rates in cities, of nonexistent terrorist attacks ― Trump can claim, as he has, that he has virtually unfettered power to protect the country.
In this sense, Trump is actually correct when he calls the press the enemy, as journalists, playing their role as the fourth estate, can report on the facts that conflict with the lies Trump has concocted to create the threats that underlie his claims to exercise unchallenged power. If the American people believe the press, they will push back against Trump’s authoritarian moves.
By delegitimizing the press ― by calling factual reports he doesn’t like “fake news” or claiming the press are bad people out to get him ― he has successfully convinced a portion of the American people that the factual reports coming from journalists that challenge Trump’s constructed reality of alternative facts are not to be believed.
Make no mistake, Trump is attempting to delegitimize every aspect of American democracy outside of the White House. So, rather than say he disagrees with a judge’s ruling on his executive order on immigration, he challenged the legitimacy of the federal court, decrying a “so-called judge.” When a Republican U.S. senator disagreed with the president’s assessment of a problematic raid in Yemen that killed multiple civilians, including children, the president attacked him. Trump has repeatedly made baseless claims of massive voter fraud, calling into question the voting system by which we elect our leaders, which is the basic foundation on which the power to govern rests in a democracy.
And he is doing the same thing with the press, who are the last barrier between freedom and authoritarianism (as this cartoon depicts) and the ones that can debunk his invented threats from which he is seeking to consolidate nondemocratic power. (It is shocking to consider that Politifact has found 69 percent of Trump’s examined statements to be “mostly false,” “false” or “pants on fire,” while only 16 percent of the statements qualified as “true “ or “mostly true.” The remaining 15 percent were judged “half true.”)
In this way, Trump’s attacks on journalistic outlets like CNN and the New York Times are nothing like his disputes with businesses like Nordstrom. Nordstrom might have taken some dollars out of his family’s pockets, but CNN and the New York Times can publicize the facts that conflict with Trump’s constructed alternative facts reality.
The important thing to remember is, this is not politics as usual. This is something new, at least in recent history. During times of intense partisanship, George W. Bush and Barack Obama took actions that angered political opponents. But when these presidents lost in court, they didn’t attack the legitimacy of the court. They expressed disappointment and vowed to fight on through democratic practices.
What Trump is doing marks a major change in the basic approach to governing. Trump isn’t engaged in partisan fighting. This is not a dirty, all-out political battle between Democrats and Republicans, like we’ve seen for, at the very least, the last 20 years.
No, this president is taking the same steps authoritarian regimes around the world have engaged in to consolidate power.
Which brings us right back to journalism. After all, if Trump lies, the press can easily report on the lies, relaying what was said and how the statements depart from established fact. The press can play its role as the fourth estate.
However, if Trump delegitimizes the news media, if he calls factual journalism he disagrees with “fake news,” if he and his administration claim journalists are the “opposition party,” if he convinces his supporters that nothing the news media says about him is true, he can nullify the press’s role in American democracy. He can shape his own reality, in which he can do no wrong, and in which he is protecting American from the threats they should fear.
Trump’s moves have not come out of nowhere. Republicans have played with these concepts for years as a way of motivating their base. They called judges unpatriotic “activist judges,” they called journalists the biased “liberal media,” and they made voter fraud claims they knew were false to engage in voter suppression of Democratic voters.
The Republicans were playing a dangerous political game, but it was mostly a game. Trump has now taken the game and turned it into an actual governing philosophy. And his supporters, who didn’t know the Republicans were playing a game, are now primed and ready to believe that America is a failing wasteland under attack from outsiders, and Trump is the only one who can save us by being a “strong” ― code word for nondemocratic authoritarian ― leader.
Trump wants you to be afraid. And he’s right, but what you should be afraid of is him.
History tells us we have to fight back against authoritarian impulses. After the U.S. entered World War I, Woodrow Wilson and Congress used the conflict to take away the rights of Americans. As historian Stephen Vaughn wrote:
“[I]n the United States during 1917-18 nearly every right guaranteed under the Constitution was either abridged or nullified, especially freedom of the press and freedom of speech.”
That was only 100 years ago.
More recently, in 1931, the president of Columbia University said in a public speech that there are two ways to choose leaders: elections and dictatorship, and dictatorship
appears to bring into authority and power men of far greater intelligence, far stronger character and far more courage than does the system of election.
Fortunately, World War II showed the value of democracy over authoritarianism.
So it’s time for all Americans who believe in democracy ― Democrats and Republicans, progressives and conservatives ― to speak out against Trump’s attack on journalism. Republicans who think they can use Trump to enact their long-sought-after policy victories are putting ideology before country.
Tell your elected officials they have to stand on the side of democracy. It shouldn’t be a partisan issue. Opposing authoritarianism should be one thing Democrats and Republicans can agree on.
If people speak out, our free press will be there to accurately and fairly write all about it. And journalists will be able to investigate the rest of the troubling words and actions of the Trump administration. At least for now. With Trump as president, the future of journalism ― and our democracy ― is about as clear as vegetable soup. And that should terrify every American.

Maybe “Jeopardy” host Alex Trebek should start thinking about a new name for his burgeoning career in hip-hop.
Dr. Tre showed off his rapping skills again on Monday night’s “Jeopardy,” with a category called “Let’s Rap, Kids!” Each answer featured lyrics, and The Notorious A.L.E.X. didn’t simply read them.
Trebek, who has hosted the syndicated show since 1984, gamely rapped his way though each answer, which is something he’s been known to do on “Jeopardy” from time to time.

“I don’t think there’s ever been a president elected who in this short period of time has done what we’ve done,” declared President Donald Trump in his news conference last week. That statement would be true if he was referring to the unprecedented confusion that has plagued the Trump administration during its first month.
So far, the Trump transition has been ineptly problematic. The incompetent rolling out of Trump’s travel ban, which appeared to target Muslims, caused enormous chaos and frustration at the nation’s airports. The intensified rounding up of immigrants illegally in the U.S. has been heartless and perplexing. The shaky efforts to “repeal and immediately replace” the Affordable Care Act have mobilized thousands of Obamacare supporters to protest at town halls throughout the country.
Perhaps no newly sworn-in president has generated as many widespread global protests against his administration in so little time.
Perhaps no newly sworn-in president has generated as many widespread global protests against his administration in so little time. Thousands of protesters took to the streets across America Monday for “Not My President’s Day” rallies against Trump’s policies. The opposition covered a wide range of issues, including immigration, women’s reproductive rights and climate change. History was made just one day after the president’s inauguration when an estimated 2.6 million people protested Trump in 673 marches, in all 50 states and in 32 different countries.
Protests overseas against the president have attracted huge crowds. President Trump’s intention to visit England has activated large protests. More than 1.85 million people have signed a petition entitled “Prevent Donald Trump from making a State Visit to the United Kingdom.” The petition claimed that the president’s vulgar comments about women would “cause embarrassment to Her Majesty the Queen.” As the British Parliament debated whether to withdraw an invitation extended to the president by their prime minister during her recent visit, thousands of protesters rallied outside.
Trump caused confusion and hard feelings in Sweden when at a Florida rally he called attention to “what is happening last night in Sweden.” The reference was at best oblique, but Trump later tweeted it was the result of a Fox News report linking that country’s increase in crime to its acceptance of asylum seekers. The Swedish embassy responded on Twitter, “We look forward to informing the US administration about Swedish immigration and integration policies.”
Trump’s praise of Russia’s President Vladimir Putin and his frequent blunt criticism of NATO, both running counter to long-standing U.S. policy, have unsettled European allies. There have been persistent reports that the Trump administration will ease sanctions on Russia relating to its illegal annexation of Crimea and military actions in Ukraine. This weekend Vice President Mike Pence attempted to reassure allies. Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, Pence said, “Know this: The United States will continue to hold Russia accountable, even as we search for new common ground which as you know President Trump believes can be found.”
During a January appearance at CIA headquarters, Trump suggested that the U.S. should have seized the oil during its 2003 invasion of Iraq. “We should have kept the oil,” he said, “But okay. Maybe we’ll have another chance.” This played right into the propaganda claims of Mideast opponent’s who have always charged that the U.S. only wants the oil. On his way to Iraq, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis told reporters, “We’re not going to seize anybody’s oil.” He added, “All of us in America have generally paid for our gas and oil all along and I am sure we will continue to do so in the future.”
Trump has tried to divert attention away from his rocky presidency by blaming the press―a stunt he utilized regularly during his campaign. Last week Trump tweeted, “The FAKE NEWS media (failing @nytimes, @NBCNews, @ABC, @CBS, @CNN) is not my enemy, it is the enemy of the American People!” Defense Secretary Mattis later disagreed with his boss, saying, “The press, as far as I’m concerned, are a constituency that we deal with, and I don’t have any issues with the press myself.” Vice President Pence said he supports a free and independent press while he was in Brussels. He added, “But you can anticipate that the president and all of us will continue to call out the media when they play fast and loose with the facts.” Calling out the media is one thing, but declaring it to be the enemy is outrageous. In Thomas Jefferson’s words, “Our liberty cannot be guarded but by the freedom of the press.”
In his news conference last week, Trump said, “This administration is running like a fine-tuned machine.” But Trump lives in an alternate reality filled with alternative facts. His popularity ratings are at an historic low for any incoming president since such polls have been taken.
If this were a television show, the title would be, “The Apprentice goes to Washington.” Sadly, for America, this isn’t a television program.

Donald Trump just had the worst week of the most disastrous start to a presidency since William Henry Harrison came down with a fever and expired 30 days, 12 hours, and 30 minutes after taking the oath of office. After a week of revelations, resignations, and investigations, President Trump must be desperate for something positive. So here’s a little bit of good news ― not for the president, but for the rest of us.
While most people’s eyes were glued to multiple Trump train wrecks, American clean energy development reached a couple of milestones. The winds of change really are blowing in this country, and they’re turning turbines.
Early on February 12, the entire electric grid from Montana to the Texas Panhandle was momentarily powered by 52 percent wind energy, breaking a record set less than a year ago. The significance isn’t that so much power came from wind, but that the grid had no problem handling it. Coincidentally, on the same day that happened, David Saggau, CEO of Great River Energy, which provides energy to electric co-ops in Minnesota, made this point about wind energy at an energy policy forum in Minnesota:
In the past, we tended to think of our coal resources as baseload and every other resource being supplemental to that. I would suggest to you that wind is quickly becoming the new baseload; and to be viable going forward, all other sources must be flexible enough to be supplemental to the wind.
As the technical challenges of integrating renewables are solved, the economic benefits become irrefutable. Perhaps that’s why 20 U.S. governors (including eight Republicans) sent a letter last week to President Trump asking him to support renewable energy, which is conspicuously absent from the so-called “America First” energy plan at whitehouse.gov. That bipartisan support for wind and solar isn’t just because two out of three Americans think we should prioritize developing clean, renewable energy sources over fossil fuels. It’s because renewables are already contributing mightily to local economies ― both through jobs and energy production.
The growing momentum of wind and solar is also inspiring more city governments to set their sights on 100 percent clean energy. Again, in just the past week both Moab, Utah, and Pueblo, Colorado, joined the 23 other cities that have committed to getting all of their power from 100 percent clean, renewable energy. Pueblo, Moab, and other communities are charting this course away from dirty fuels because they want a future with healthier families, more economic security, and greater prosperity. In the case of Pueblo, the lesson that fossil fuels don’t offer any of those things has been hard learned. Three recently commissioned gas power plants have led to some of the highest electricity rates in the country for a community that can ill afford them.
OK, so all of that progress in renewables happened during just a single week, but the non-alternative fact is that we’re adding more wind, more solar, and more energy storage all the time. During the last month of 2016, a whopping 97 percent of the new electricity installed across the entire country came from wind and solar. Soon entire states will be generating the majority of their energy from renewable sources for minutes, hours, and days at a time. More people will be put to work, air and water pollution will decrease dramatically, and politicians from all parties will be arguing over who jumped on the clean energy bandwagon first.
This is a revolution that is not going to happen. It’s already happening. And not even the worst president in history can stop it.

By now, it seems safe to say that Doom can be played on any device a person wants. It’s been adapted for printers, ATM machines, calculators, the Apple Touch Bar and many others.

As you might have heard, Facebook recently announced their plans to make changes to how videos are played on its platform. The company has decided that by default, videos will soon start to play automatically with the sound on. Apparently this has been well-received as Facebook claims to have gotten “positive feedback” from it.
However if you’re in the camp that thinks that this is a silly and annoying feature, you’ll be pleased to learn that there is now a Google Chrome extension that will prevent Facebook videos from autoplaying. This extension called “Disable HTML5 Autoplay” will be available for both Chrome and Opera, with plans to eventually make it available for Firefox as well.
This extension will not block the videos but rather stops them from playing automatically, so if you wanted you could still play them by clicking on them. Do note that Facebook will give users the option of disabling the feature if they choose to, but this extension will work with not just Facebook videos, but all HTML5 videos in general so if you do visit websites that love to autoplay videos upon loading, then this feature could come in handy.
The extension is also customizable where you whitelist and blacklist sites that you want videos to autoplay or to not autoplay. You’ll be able to get your hands on the extension via the Chrome Web Store or the Opera Add-Ons page.
