  2. 4 dead in Ohio

    May 4, 1970 ... John Filo‘s Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph of Mary Ann Vecchio, a 14-year-old runaway kneeling over the body of Jeffrey Miller minutes after he was shot by the Ohio National Guard … it's seared into my memory. #kentstate #CSNY #nixon #theknife #turntostone #70s #music #musicsky #musiciansky #rockmusic #jasonisbell #davidcrosby #joewalsh #genesis

  3. OF course, the protections under the Endangered Species Act also help protect other things - like the marine #ecosystems that the Gulf coast states - from Florida to Texas - rely on for tourism, recreation and fisheries. Do they really want more Deepwater Horizons? More #OilSpills? More abandoned wells seeping oil into the waters?

    (Did you know the #EndangeredSpeciesAct came out of that radical left #Nixon Administration?)

  4. Der Mann, der den #Drogenkrieg oder #warondrugs startete, sagte hinter verschlossenen Türen ❓ 😎

    USPräsident 📟️️️ #Nixon sagte 🌱 #Cannabis sei 🌹 ungefährlich! 😂 🙄 😄 🫢

  5. #Canada ‘punched above its weight’ in #WorldWar2. But when #Nixon wanted #Canadians to fight in #Vietnam , Pierre #Trudeau was a ‘hard no’. In fact, he welcomed #DraftDodgers to Canada! cbc.ca/player/play/video/1.362

    After #September11th , Canadians fought and died alongside #Americans in #Afghanistan. But when George W. Bush asked Jean Crétien to send troops to #Iraq , Crétien smelled the #WMD hoax and was a ‘hard no’.

    #MarkCarney is a ‘hard no’ on the #FelonsCrusade too!

  6. The "mood of the #nation," in 1972, was so overwhelmingly #vengeful, #greedy, #bigoted, and blindly #reactionary that no presidential candidate who even faintly reminded "typical #voters" of the #fear & #anxiety they'd felt during the constant "social upheavals" of the 1960s had any chance at all of beating #Nixon last year--not even #TedKennedy...

  7. #Hanna says that the #recordings reveal that #Nixon was “not a true believer” in the #drugwar, despite being among its chief architects.

    Warum startete Nixon den #warondrugs und warum wurde parallel die Golddeckung für die US-Währung aufgehoben❓ Wer kennt die Hintergründe und kann es mir in einfachen Worten erklären? 😀

  8. #Historians would also argue that the #Vietnam War served as a defining — if not redefining — moment in the history of U.S. party #politics. At the time, there was perhaps no bigger player in sculpting modern #conservatism than William F. Buckley, who in a 1968 column advocated the use of #NuclearBombs in Vietnam. In 1969, President Richard #Nixon nearly heeded that recommendation.
