The weekend begins I will be posting little as it is Spring and the garden needs attention….
There is at least one person that thinks that Hitler was a good example for a cure to homelessness.
A Republican lawmaker in Tennessee stunned his colleagues Wednesday when he shared the story of a homeless man who turned his life around—Adolf Hitler. During a debate on a bill banning homeless encampments on public property, State Sen. Frank Niceley told lawmakers he “wanted to give a little history on homelessness,” Fox17 reports. “In 1910 Hitler decided to live on the streets for a while,” he said. “So for two years Hitler lived on the streets and practiced his oratory and his body language and how to connect with the masses. And then went on to lead a life that got him in the history books.”
“So, a lot of these people it’s not a dead end. They can come out of these homeless camps and have a productive life, or in Hitler’s case a very unproductive life.” In Mein Kampf, the Nazi leader said his anti-Semitic and German nationalist view developed during the years he was homeless in Vienna. Critics said Niceley was wrong about history—Hitler ended up homeless through poverty, not choice—and wondered why on Earth Niceley would consider him an inspiring example, the Washington Post reports. “I’m going to have to apologize to the universe for this guy,” tweeted Democratic state Rep. Gloria Johnson.
The bill, which criminalizes camping along highways and exit ramps and makes it illegal to camp on public or state property, passed 22-10, with Niceley voting in favor. Critics argued that the bill criminalized homelessness itself, perpetuating the cycle of poverty, WCYB reports. As for Niceley, he has a long history of controversial remarks, the Post notes. In October, he said the shift of companies like Ford to the South shows the Civil War “is going on, and we’re winning.”
When I first read the title of this article my first thought was….yes he did….it was called concentration camps.

Thanx for the Ping….much appreciated chuq
Why do certain people continue to vote for people who crawl from beneath rocks?
It is a mystery to me as well…..can there be that much ignorance? Be well chuq
And I thought many of our politicians were despicable. But they cannot hold a candle to some of the crazies you have over there, chuq.
Best wishes, Pete.
Ignorance has become a pandemic in itself…..chuq
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing,” … that’s what I have to say about homelessness and those who profit from it.
And this system cares little for the homeless….and that in my book is evil…..chuq
A sickening use of historical fact
Indeed. Be well chuq
Of course you won’t post it. Doesn’t fit the AGENDAS!!!! Ignorance? you say?… kinda like saying “it was a MISTAKE”…. handy. New boss, same as the old boss. Kill me.
Post what? Ignorance….it is curable…stupidity is fatal. chuq
Face me, Coward!!
Stick to subject or go away chuq
If he this politician would have done his research he would know that A H. wasn’t the person to be an example for the homeless. Far from it!
In fact it’s so insulting for the homeless, it’s ignorant, plain stupid and a lot more. I don’ have the English vocabulary for to express my digust
