Coolidge's story is actually really sad, and, like with Pierce, it explains a lot about the man. He lost his mother and sister young; his father was something of a tyrant whom he disliked early in life. When he was vice president, he received word that President Harding had passed, and his father administered his oath of office. He lost his 16 year old son, Calvin jr, to sepsis during his first summer as president, just after winning the nomination for 1924. He won, and he fulfilled his duty, but he had no desire to be President after he lost his son. He wrote "the power and glory of the presidency went with him [his son]." Basically, he, like Pierce, spent his elected term in a deep depression and didn't do a lot; he left the nation to his secretaries and withdrew from society.

I suppose it depends on the type of video being reacted to.

Re: The Calvin Coolidge story about the woman betting she could get three words from him. This was a joke in one of the Oz books.

He says only 'You lose'. L Frank Baum died in 1920, so this joke predates the Coolidge joke by a few years. And I'm wondering if that's where it came from.

Some interesting tidbits on Calvin Coolidge. For many years he was actively involved in Massachusetts politics starting as a city counselor in Northampton Ma and ending with his tenure as the Governor. Northampton is the home to his presidential library which is a couple of rooms on the 2nd floor of the Forbes Library. Very unassuming in comparison to the more resent libraries which is much like Coolidge himself. After Coolidge died, the state of Massachusetts decided to dedicate a bridge that spans the CT river between Northampton and Hadley in his memory. None of the Coolidge family felt that the dedication ceremony was worth their time to attend as they all had excuses for not showing up. While there are numerous buildings and public works named in his honor during his lifetime, the bridge has ended up being the only public memorial to him in existence.

When he walked out to the briefing, he gave a note to a reporter in the front row and left. When the reporter read the note aloud, it said “I will not seek reelection in 1928.” 24:32 As a proud brony, this makes me REALLY happy. When he answered the trivia questions made sense. MLP:FiM began on October 10, 2010, and the brony fandom basically started in 2011. In 2012, the fandom got onto the news because so many people were amazed that a show aimed at 3 to 7-year-old girls gained the attention of full grown men. It was such a big deal that there’s even a documentary about the fandom.

Carter wasn't on a nuclear submarine. He was on a diesel-powered submarine, the SSK-1/Barracuda III. He was training to become an engineering officer on the USS Seawolf, one of the first nuclear subs, but resigned from the Navy when his father died.

Garfield's assassin Giteau was batshit insane. When his brother wrote him a letter encouraging him to pay off his debts, Giteau sent him seven dollars, with a note that told him to "stick it up your bung hole," and then never spoke to him again.

I know nothing of US presidents, at all(other than GW was the first) and when James Polk came up with the Oregon-game symbol, all I could think of is this comedic musical called "Trail to Oregon" inspired by that game, and specifically a line that the mother sings in it: "My first pioneer would be President Polk, I think he'd be a good leader of the wagon". So thank you for making that song stuck in my head again

Also a fun fact I remember hearing, Ronald Reagan had actually came to the city I live in (Fort Wayne, Indiana specifically)on two separate occasions, about 30 or so years apart. The first time was as a General Electric representative in the old GE plant in Downtown Fort Wayne and in the Fort Wayne Coliseum after the 1982 Flood.

Some of my ancestors came over on the Mayflower as well, and though we're not sure exactly how; we're related to John and John Quincy Adams. One of my old co-workers is related to Samuel Adams (related to the Johns' mentioned previously) and her ancestors also came over on the Mayflower. It's interesting knowing that I may also be related to even more presidents as well as how many others are too.

The Democrats infiltrating the school system was the worst thing that could have happened to this country. They taught “Lost Cause” myth in the 60’s-90’s, and now they teach the “party switch” myth
@carsonkeller99443 жыл бұрын
@@billtalker3843 How are you suggesting the party switch is a myth? It happened around the time of FDR's election, Dixiecrats in the South switched to being Republicans. Progressive/Liberal Republicans who were pro-civil rights migrated to FDR's New Deal Democratic Party. There was clearly a switching of principles when it came to the respective party's ideas on race. Democrats used to be the KKK, pro-slavery southern vote who turned into the party of civil rights. Republicans USED to be the abolitionist, progressive party and turned into the Confederate apologist, anti-Civil Rights, conservative party it is today.

@@carsonkeller9944 See. You repeat nonsense vomited from your Democrat teachers. Stop believing the brainwashing. Look at reality and look at history. Democrats are still pro-segregstion and pro-racism. Democrats have always been the party of the immoral since the 1850’s. Go look at old voting maps and tell me the Dixiecrats joined the Republicans. You can’t. Would you switch parties today if your party made you mad? No. That doesn’t happen. What happens is, after integration of the South, and years of co-mingling of races, people started to see the purity of the Republican Party. Hearts were changed. It was the Democrats (and still to this day) that scare black folks into voting for them. “If you don’t vote for me, you ain’t black!” That is the underlying tone of most Democrat politics towards the black folks, just like in the early 1900’s when the Democrats were saying “vote our way or we’ll kill you.” Vote our way or you’re dead to us. Political agendas change over time, but one thing stays the same: the Democrats are the party of racism, segregation, and slavery. That will never change. Look at who is in office right now. A rich old white man who has ties to the KKK. You can’t make this stuff up. Similar to how evangelical Christian denominations have always leaned against slavery and segregation (to various degrees) while the high churches always leaned towards slavery and segregation (to various degrees). The high churches have always been on the immoral side of American history, and still are, as most support progressive debauchery today. There’s countless “common sense” examples. Open your blinds, look outside, and see the truth.

@@billtalker3843 How can the democrats be the party of racism when they were the one who elected a black president. I didn't see Trump doing anything during the BLM era last year apart from condemn the protests and support the police officers. Also, both of your quotes, are not accurate. If you're going to quote something, quote it right please or else the rest of your argument is void. And I'm not sure how you can criticise Biden for having ties to the KKK, when there is no proof, but in Trumps 4 year term, he never identified the KKK as a terrorist organisation, and there is evidence he is connected to both the KKK and the proud boys. The party switch has been proven to be true and for you to keep denting such facts is pathetic and stupid. Churches and religious charities are known to exclude racial minorities, why do you think they had to start their own churches? Also, if the democrats enforced slavery and Jim Crow, why was it also a democrat who liberated black people from Jim Crow? Your logic is laughable.

Bush is related to Stephen Hopkins through my same line, making GWB and Stephen Hopkins distant cousins of mine.
