No man ever listened himself out of a job.
-- Calvin Coolidge -

On November 25, 2025, President Donald Trump proclaimed that November 27, 2025, would be a National Day of Thanksgiving. From the start of the Proclamation:
In 1789, just years after America’s triumph over tyranny in the Revolutionary War, President George Washington established the first National Day of Thanksgiving, declaring ‘the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor.’
President Donald Trump, 2025 Thanksgiving Proclamation
President Trump led off the 2025 Thanksgiving Proclamation by quoting from George Washington’s 1789 Thanksgiving Proclamation. I published an article on the subject of Washington’s 1789 Thanksgiving Proclamation back on November 25, 2020 (the first year of The New Leaf Journal). President Trump continued to quote from Abraham Lincoln’s 1863 Thanksgiving Proclamation (I should write an article about that one next year), which is the first (so to speak) modern Proclamation. For further Thanksgiving proclamation reading, see my articles on Calvin Coolidge’s 1923 Thanksgiving Proclamation and Presidential Proclamations of Thanksgiving in the Philippines.

Four Presidents — Hiram ULYSSES Grant, Stephen GROVER Cleveland, Thomas WOODROW Wilson, and John CALVIN Coolidge — effectively used their middle names as first names. In this article, I examine each of these interesting presidential name cases.

A hefty book containing letters from Japanese students expressing gratitude for support they received after the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake has been preserved by a descendant of then-U.S. President Calvin Coolidge. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/01/02/japan/history/kanto-quake-letters-coolidge/?utm_content=bufferc8cf9&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #japan #history #calvincoolidge #greatkantoearthquake

@wausaupilot This photo is missing much needed alt text. Who is this and what's the context for using this photo?
Clicking though to the article should never be necessary to get this information from any photos you post:
"In 1923, a presidential address was broadcast on radio for the first time as Calvin Coolidge spoke to a joint session of Congress." Black and white headshot photo of #President #CalvinCoolidge. He's at a 3/4 angle facing to our right.
Thanks.

Coolidge's July 4, 1926 speech is fairly well known by the standards of presidential speeches. Less well known are the remarks he delivered on July 4, 1918, as Lt. Gov of Massachusetts. The subject of the speech was broadly relations between the United States and Japan, and specifically the story of a certain Manjiro Nakahama.

On July 4, 1926, then-President Calvin Coolidge delivered a speech to commemorate the 150th anniversary of American independence. I discuss the speech in detail in my article. Fun additional fact... July 4, 1926 was also Coolidge's 54th birthday.

30th #POTUS #CalvinCoolidge on his successor and fellow #Republican #HerbertHoover : "For six years that man has given me unsolicited advice – all of it bad." 👉 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_Coolidge#CITEREFFerrell1998
The #GreatDepression began during Herbert Hoover’s lone term as President. 🤷🏻♂️

10/23 Republican and northerner #WarrenGHarding won in 1920, promising a "return to normalcy" after WWI.
The #Roaring20s were years of wealth and Wall Street. Even the growing oil industry was still primarily a northern thing (Pennsylvania/Appalachian Basin). #CalvinCoolidge's 1924 campaign slogan was "Keep cool and keep Coolidge."
The Republicans were sliding towards conserving the status quo! Republican and northerner #HerbertHoover won in 1928 hoping the good times would keep rolling.
