Mr. Beat spends way too long analyzing the word "normalcy" and President Warren G. Harding's role popularizing it. But did he invent it? Thanks to my brother, Steven, for appearing in this video.

In fact, it only recently seems to be more um...normal...to use it in conversation. Check out Google Trends, see that bump in the middle of March, right when the pandemic was beginning to cause lockdowns across the world? “Normalcy” even caught up with “Rickrolling” for a bit. Impressive. Anyway, we can thank Warren G. Harding, the 29th President of the United States, for first popularizing the word, normalcy. He apparently first used it in a speech in Brooklyn in February 1920, just over 100 years ago. It might have been an accident. After all, Harding was not known to be a goo ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIDk3vPDA8U

The two men, John Terry and Richard Chilton, would go back and forth, according to various reports, between 12 and 24 times. They took turns starting a block or two away, and then would routinely walk up to the jewelry store window to peek in, and return back to chat about it. Soon, a third man, named Carl Katz, approached Terry and Chilton and talked with them and then left. McFadden had seen enough. After the three men rejoined in front of Zucker’s, a clothing store, McFadden decided to approach them. McFadden was in street clothes, but identified himself as a police officer and asked them for their names. After the men “mumbled something” in response, McFadden frisked them. Frisk, by the way, means patting someone down to search for hidden weapons or illegal stuff. Well after McFadden frisked the me ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWrZta70QmY

Now, smallpox is one of the most awful and devastating diseases in human history. Even though Edward Jenner had discovered a vaccine to help prevent smallpox back in 1796, in 1902 the average mortality rate for the disease was as high as 25 to 30%. In fact, between around 1902 until when it was finally eradicated thanks to the World Health Organization in the late 1970s, smallpox killed an estimated 300 million people around the world. As much of a threat as smallpox still was in 1902, Jacobson didn’t think it was worth it to get vaccinated. You could call him ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxjEFuR0Sk0
