Alec Baldwin has been on Donald Trump’s case. A few days ago, he showered viewers with urination jokes or by rather mocking Trump’s  pee pee press conference and dossier allegations. He revived his Trump impression by re-enacting the president-elect’s news conference from earlier this week.

Donald Trump is definitely not happy about this sketch. Here is his reaction on twitter:

.@NBCNews is bad but Saturday Night Live is the worst of NBC. Not funny, cast is terrible, always a complete hit job. Really bad television!

However, the president’s life has never been smooth sailing. He never got formal education when he was young because he had to fend for his family after his father passed away. Despite not having a formal education, he taught himself how to read and write in the bush and can current speak 6 languages fluently.

It seems that President Zuma has beaten the odds to get to this level. However, the past always haunts you; he seemed to have a problem grasping the concept of arithmetic while delivering his speech. See the clip below:

Krugman tweeted:

Thought: There was (rightly) a cloud of illegitimacy over Bush, dispelled (wrongly) by 9/11. Creates some interesting incentives for Trump

— Paul Krugman (@paulkrugman) December 16, 2016

This tweet implies that that Trump could Stage an inside job terrorist attack similar to the 9/11 attack to legitimatize his presidency or rather to dispel the numerous claims of “illegitimacy” regarding his ascension to power.

Krugman statement further insinuates that, Trump is currently in a similar circumstance that the former President George W. Bush was in during the 2000 elections. The Bush’s presidential victory was also riddled with claims of illegitimacy with the Democrats claiming that Bush was selected and not elected.

However, the illegitimacy claims were erased after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks by the Al Qaeda. The Bush’s tough and swift response to terrorism after this tragic event won the hearts of the citizens, and the claims of illegitimacy were quickly forgotten.

Thus Krugman insinuates that, because of the mixed feelings surrounding the impending presidency of Trump; he has an “incentive” to allow a terrorist attack on the American soil on purpose so that just like Bush did, he could respond with a swift and tough military action to win the hearts of the critics.

Krugman’s assertion was immediately met with mix of mockery and disbelief by various Twitter users.

Trump’s Reaction

As you could expect, Donald Trump did not take the comments lightly. Though he did not address Krugman directly by name, it is obvious that Trump’s remarks were directed towards him.

While at a rally in Mobile, Alabama, Trump asked, what kind of a person would make such remarks. Trump continued to add that, when he was first informed of the words the columnist’s had used, he felt certain that it must have been a typo or a mistake, but to his surprise, this was not the case.

He was shocked that someone would insinuate that he could instigate a catastrophe that would lead to the death of thousands of people so that he could look good on his base. He added that anyone who would say such a thing must be demented, and that is the reason why the Times is failing.
Krugman has not been hesitant about his opposition to Trump’s presidency; he had previously predicted that if Trump won the elections, the American stock market would never recover, which is currently not the case.

He is survived by his three sons Carter, Brennan and Robin Thicke – the “Blurred Lines” singer… and his wife, Tanya.

Robin Thicke’s publicist confirmed his death on Tuesday evening. When Robin Thicke was asked to comment about his father on Tuesday evening, he mentioned that he was not only a gentleman but also the greatest man he had ever met. He further confirmed that his father suffered a heart attack while playing hokey with his brother Carter.

Based on Robin Thicke’s response, it is clear that he regarded him highly; he credited his father as an accomplished musician and actor who not only inspired him but also supported him in his music career.

Carter who had shared the last moments with his father mentioned, “One of the last things he said to me was a complement on a nice shot I had made”.

A Singer, A Songwriter and An Actor

Alan Thicke was a Canadian singer, songwriter and an actor, who will be best remembered in the United States for role he played in the family sitcom, “Growing Pains”. He played the role of, Dr. Jason Seaver, a psychiatrist, and also as reassuring father, who meticulously solved his family problems in a warm homily manner. The show set the pace for parenting ideals in the 80’s hence earning him the nickname America’s Dad.

Being a man of multiple talents he composed various theme songs for television shows such as “The Facts of Life, and “Different Stokes” sitcoms and also the “Celebrity Sweepstakes” and the “The Joker’s Wild” theme songs.

In his height of his career he featured in the popular soap opera “The Bold and the Beautiful” as Rich Ginger — the talk show host, and more recently made appearances on “How I Met Your Mother” a popular television show.

Mr. Thicke’s career hasn’t always been smooth sailing. Though he had hosted a myriad of shows with some being successful, other shows performed dismally and were accompanied by harsh critical response.

A Family Man

Thicke has also been divorced two times, and managed to take custody of all his sons. Fortunately, it seems that failure inspired Thicke to do better or keep moving forward. Thicke had once mentioned that, he drew his parenting skills from the role he played for 7 years as dad in the sitcom “Growing Pains”.

It is unfortunate that the would has lost another great talent.

It plays an important role in our lives because it affects our energy bills and comfort. A significant number of buyers think that procuring a new thermostat is as simple as selecting their favorite brand that has all features they need and looks elegant when mounted on their wall.

However, the truth of the matter is that there is more to that; you need to purchase the right thermostat that suits your specific needs, otherwise you are likely to end up with one that falls short of your needs, has high overhead costs or even might have problems operating it or integrating it with your current heating and cooling systems. Here are some basics and options to buy thermostat for your home.

Match the Thermostat to the Equipment used at your home

You will need to first identify the type of heating and cooling system used at your home, so that you can purchase a thermostat that is compatible with your system. Focus is on the equipment that the thermostat is meant to control; some control devices operate in multiple stages while others only control a heat pump, an air conditioner or a furnace.

Multiple stages refer to the number of cooling or heating sources that are controlled by a single thermostat which facilitates more efficiency and smoother operation. For instance if you have a multiple stages heating and cooling system such as a furnace with two sets of burners, a dual-speed air conditioner or a heat pump, you need to purchase a thermostat that can handle the multi-use function.

There are other types of thermostats that allow you to configure them to suit your system; thus they have a wide range of applications.

Features of the Thermostat: Look for the Features that suits your needs
