Why America’s 250th Birthday Doesn’t Feel Like 1976’s Celebration
America is about to turn 250, and you wouldn’t know it unless you happened to trip over a press release from the city or county about a parade or upcoming fireworks displays. For a nation that once threw itself a year‑long Bicentennial bash — tall ships crowding New York Harbor, wagon trains converging on Valley Forge like a Norman Rockwell recreation — the silence today is deafening. And it is very sad as we prepare to observe the semiquincentennial. This past week, James and I […] -

A few days I reported, based on the AI scans of #Farsi socials, that #Iran has managed to hit a US #Aircraft carrier.
Consequently, the US Carriers have run away from the #Gulf and kept running until they put 1000km between #iran and themselves. We found that there was a "Laundry fire" that took 32 hours (!sic) to put out and injured over 200 sailors.
And now, it looks like #AgentKrasnov babbled out that the carrier has actually been hit by Iranians....
... listen to tRump reveal US carrier #GeraldFord was hit. -

50 years ago, in Feb 1976, President #GeraldFord signed Executive Order 11905, which directed that “no employee of the United States Government shall engage in, or conspire to engage in, political #assassination.” There should be no tears…for #Khamenei, who for 4 decades oversaw a repressive state with terroristic tentacles that extended throughout the world. But it is worth looking at why presidents of both political parties have long been wary of the #StateSponsoredMurder of foreign leaders.

Arthur Franck (Bjarne Mädel) – „Helsinki-Effekt“ (2025)
„Dieses ist ein Film, in zwölf Kapiteln. Über die Kunst der langsamen Diplomatie. Über eine banale Konferenz, die alles veränderte. Und darüber, dass man sehr falsch liegen kann…“ Ich war zehn Jahre alt, als in Helsinki 35 Staaten ihre Unterschrift unter ein Dokument setzten, das unser aller Leben erst möglich gemacht hat. Die Welt war zweigeteilt, der eiserne Vorhang fest einbetoniert, Atomwaffen auf beiden Seiten in ständiger Bereitschaft. Und wir mittendrin, mit einem Weltbild, das sich täglich widersprach. (ARTE, Neu)

Jimmy Carter & Gerald Ford, from rivals to friends
In 1976 Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter ran a heated campaign against incumbent President Gerald Ford. But in a development that seems increasingly foreign to today's partisan environment, the two became friends after Carter himself left the White House.

Fascinating anecdote about Sadat's funeral. Reagan was reluctant to send Vice President George H.W. Bush. Thus, he asked his White House predecessors Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter to take his place at Sadat’s service.
Jimmy Carter’s most enduring lesson
His legacy is how much can be accomplished when smart leaders cast aside all notions of hostile partisanship.

Donald Trump will have you believe that he is the most persecuted of all presidents ever. With two attempted assassinations in a few weeks, many might believe this bluster.
But Gerald Ford had two attempts on his life within 17 days in September, 1975. Obviously Gerald Ford was more persecuted than Donald Trump. So unless Donald Trump has a new assassination attempt, I would say Gerald Ford was the most persecuted president.
I largely believe that Ford was the most persecuted because of the deal he might have made with Richard Nixon, his predecessor. It’s very widely believed that Nixon resigned, which made Ford president and in return, Ford used his presidential pardon on Nixon.
However, if Trump said most prosecuted president, he would be 100 % correct.

There is a newish advertisement for Canadian Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, voiced by his wife, an immigrant. This is a clever ploy on the part of the advertisers. The Conservatives are known to be anti immigration in a lot of their policies. Indeed this party is probably the most recent one that has been accused of racism. Perhaps they can persuade a lot of immigrants or pro immigrants to switch to voting for their party, if this ad does its job.
Anyhow I cannot help but think that his wife’s accent makes the word boy (in describing a young Poilievre) sound like the word bully both times she says it in the full ad. Not only is this funny and you can’t help hearing it in the ad, but it harkens back to the old stereotype of a conservative politician who might best be described as a bully.
Indeed, Poilievre’s wife should know him best and if she describes him as a bully, well who am I to argue?
This ad has convinced me to not vote for Poilievre.

September 16, 1974 - President Gerald Ford announced a conditional amnesty program for Vietnam War deserters and draft-evaders, provided they swear allegiance to the country and agree to work two years in the branch of the military they had abandoned. He did this one month following his pardon of resigned former President Richard Nixon.

Gerald Ford – the best* Republican President of my lifetime – was sworn in 50 years ago today
*best because his was the shortest Republican presidency of my lifetime: only 895 days
Imagine how much good would come of never electing (or appointing) a Republican President again.

#Inflation #Stagflation #GeraldFord
All the leaderships moaning about inflation! You'd think none of them remembered Nixon's economy, and Gerald Ford's Whip Inflation Now. Economists tweaked and fiddled the interest rates and inflation remained stubborn. Remember gas lines? There was even a new term--Stagflation.
I understand things are hard now, but this is a viscious cycle of bust and boom, and the booms illusions, fueled by increasing the deficit.

#GeraldFord ‘s pardon of #RichardNixon is not a precedent that Americans should pay heed to.
First, it was morally wrong.
Second, he was never elected #POTUS.
When he ran as a Presidential candidate, American 🇺🇸 voters chose a peanut farmer from Georgia over someone who was a ‘fixer’ for a crook. 🤷🏻♂️ And it wasn’t even close!
