Original Pub Date: 1/14/19 On July 2nd, 1881, a disappointed and mentally unstable office-seeker named Charles Guiteau shot President James A. Garfield in a Washington D.C. train station. Over the next weeks, Garfield would linger, bedridden, as infection set in, caused by poor medical treatment, and America would wait with bated breath over whether their beloved president would survive. Meanwhile, Guiteau, the most hated man in America, would face trial and possible execution. My guest is Candice Millard, New York Times bestselling author, who discusses her book "Destiny of the Republic: A Tale of Madness, Medicine and the Murder of a President".

Ein Netflix-Triple steht bei uns in dieser Woche im Fokus. Zum Auftakt nehmen sich Michael, Holger und Rüdiger den Thriller "The Beast in Me" (4:40) vor, der die Schauspiel-Schwergewichte Claire Danes und Matthew Rhys zusammenbringt bzw. gegeneinander aufbringt. Garantiert Showrunner Howard Gordon, der zuvor schon "24" und mit Danes zusammen "Homeland" gemacht hat, automatisch für Spannung? Stark besetzt ist auch die Politserie "Death by Lightning" (29:42) über die Ermordung des 20. US-Präsidenten James A. Garfield. Michael Shannon, Matthew Macfadyen, Nick Offerman, Shea Whigham und Bradley Whitford haben sich die schönsten Bärte aus dem Kostümfundus geholt und liefern sich ein Duell um das Weiße Haus mit tragischem Ende. Tragisch geht es auch in der polnischen Serie "Heweliusz" (53:16) zu, die das Fährunglück aus dem Jahr 1993 wiedergibt und versucht, Antworten auf die immer noch offenen Fragen der Katastrophe zu geben. Katastrophal auf ganz andere Art ist dagegen Ryan Murphys neue Disney-Serie "All's Fair" (1:10:03) - besonders, weil sich niemand einen Gefallen damit getan hat, Kim Kardashian eine Hauptrolle als Schauspielerin zu geben. Wir haben kurz reingeschaut, damit ihr es nicht tun müsst. Cold-Open-Frage: "Wie könnte ,24' im Streaming-Zeitalter aussehen?"

Analizamos sin spoilers Muerte por un Rayo (Death by Lightning), la nueva y sorprendente miniserie de Netflix que pone el foco en uno de los asesinatos presidenciales más olvidados de la historia de Estados Unidos: el de James A. Garfield. Con guion de Mike Makowsky (Bad Education) y un reparto encabezado por Michael Shannon y Matthew Macfadyen, esta sátira política disfrazada de drama histórico no solo reconstruye un episodio real del siglo XIX, sino que lo convierte en un espejo irónico y mordaz del presente. En apenas cuatro episodios, la serie combina humor negro, crítica al sistema político y un retrato íntimo de la ambición humana que invita a pensar y debatir. Ya disponible en Netflix.

pWotD Episode 3113: James A. Garfield Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 306,711 views on Sunday, 9 November 2025 our article of the day is James A. Garfield.James Abram Garfield (November 19, 1831 – September 19, 1881) was the 20th president of the United States, serving from March 1881 until his death in September that year after being shot in July. A preacher, lawyer, and Civil War general, Garfield served nine terms in the United States House of Representatives and is the only sitting member of the House to be elected president. Before his candidacy for the presidency, he had been elected to the U. S. Senate by the Ohio General Assembly—a position he declined when he became president-elect.Garfield was born into poverty in a log cabin and grew up in northeastern Ohio. After graduating from Williams College in 1856, he studied law and became an attorney. He was a preacher in the Restoration Movement and president of the Western Reserve Eclectic Institute, affiliated with the Disciples. Garfield was elected as a Republican member of the Ohio State Senate in 1859, serving until 1861. He opposed Confederate secession, was a major general in the Union Army during the American Civil War, and fought in the battles of Middle Creek, Shiloh, and Chickamauga. He was elected to Congress in 1862 to represent Ohio's 19th district. Throughout his congressional service, he firmly supported the gold standard and gained a reputation as a skilled orator. He initially agreed with Radical Republican views on Reconstruction but later favored a Moderate Republican–aligned approach to civil rights enforcement for freedmen. Garfield's aptitude for mathematics extended to his own proof of the Pythagorean theorem, which he published in 1876.At the 1880 Republican National Convention, delegates chose Garfield, who had not sought the White House, as a compromise presidential nominee on the 36th ballot. In the 1880 presidential election, he conducted a low-key front porch campaign and narrowly defeated the Democratic nominee, Winfield Scott Hancock. Garfield's accomplishments as president included his assertion of presidential authority against senatorial courtesy in executive appointments, a purge of corruption in the Post Office, and his appointment of a Supreme Court justice. He advocated for agricultural technology, an educated electorate, and civil rights for African Americans. He also proposed substantial civil service reforms, which were passed by Congress in 1883 as the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act and signed into law by his successor, Chester A. Arthur. Garfield was a member of the intraparty "Half-Breed" faction that used the powers of the presidency to defy the powerful "Stalwart" Senator Roscoe Conkling from New York. He did this by appointing Blaine faction leader William H. Robertson to the lucrative post of Collector of the Port of New York. The ensuing political battle resulted in Robertson's confirmation and the resignations of Conkling and Thomas C. Platt from the Senate.On July 2, 1881, Charles J. Guiteau, a disappointed and delusional office seeker, shot Garfield at the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Station in Washington. The wound was not immediately fatal, but an infection caused by his doctors' unsanitary methods in treating the wound killed Garfield on September 19. Due to his brief tenure in office, historians tend to rank Garfield as a below-average president or omit him entirely from rankings, though he has earned praise for anti-corruption and pro-civil rights stances.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 03:43 UTC on Monday, 10 November 2025.For the full current version of the article, see James A.

fWotD Episode 2952: 1880 Republican National Convention Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Wednesday, 4 June 2025, is 1880 Republican National Convention.The 1880 Republican National Convention convened from June 2 to June 8, 1880, at the Interstate Exposition Building in Chicago, Illinois, United States. Delegates nominated James A. Garfield of Ohio and Chester A. Arthur of New York as the official Republican Party candidates for president and vice president in the 1880 presidential election.Of the 14 men in contention for the Republican nomination, the three strongest leading up to the convention were Ulysses S. Grant, James G. Blaine, and John Sherman. Grant had served two terms as president from 1869 to 1877, and was seeking an unprecedented third term in office. He was backed by the Stalwart faction of the Republican Party, which supported political machines and patronage. Blaine was a senator and former representative from Maine who was backed by the Half-Breed faction of the Republican Party. Sherman, the brother of Civil War General William Tecumseh Sherman, was serving as Secretary of the Treasury under President Rutherford B. Hayes. A former senator from Ohio, he was backed by delegates who did not support the Stalwarts or Half-Breeds.With 379 votes required to obtain the nomination, on the first ballot Grant received 304 votes, Blaine 285, and Sherman 93. Balloting continued for several days without producing a nominee. After the thirty-fifth ballot, Blaine and Sherman switched their support to a new "dark horse", James Garfield. On the next ballot, Garfield won the nomination with 399 votes, 93 more than Grant. Garfield's Ohio delegation chose Chester A. Arthur, a Stalwart, as Garfield's running mate. Arthur won the vice presidential nomination with 468 votes, and the longest-ever Republican National Convention adjourned. The Garfield–Arthur Republican ticket narrowly defeated Democrats Winfield Scott Hancock and William Hayden English in the 1880 presidential election.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:40 UTC on Wednesday, 4 June 2025.For the full current version of the article, see 1880 Republican National Convention on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Olivia.

This Day in Legal History: Pendleton Civil Service Reform ActOn January 16, 1883, the U.S. Congress enacted the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act, a landmark piece of legislation that fundamentally transformed federal employment practices. The act was a response to widespread corruption and inefficiency in the government, fueled by the patronage or "spoils" system, which awarded jobs based on political loyalty rather than competence. Signed into law by President Chester A. Arthur, the Pendleton Act marked a critical shift toward merit-based hiring and promotion within the federal workforce.The law initially applied to only about 10% of federal jobs, requiring competitive examinations to determine qualifications. However, it granted the president authority to expand the classified service, allowing successive administrations to broaden its scope. The act also established the Civil Service Commission, the first federal agency tasked with overseeing adherence to these new standards of fairness and efficiency.This reform was catalyzed by public outcry following the assassination of President James A. Garfield in 1881 by a disgruntled office seeker. The tragedy underscored the dangers of a system rife with favoritism and incompetence, galvanizing bipartisan support for change. Over time, the principles of the Pendleton Act have become cornerstones of American civil service, contributing to the professionalization and stability of the federal government.By curbing patronage and introducing accountability, the act helped restore public trust in government operations. It also served as a model for state and local reforms and influenced broader discussions about the role of expertise in public administration. Today, the Pendleton Act is recognized as a foundational moment in the evolution of modern governance in the United States, laying the groundwork for a more impartial and effective civil service system.Victims of recent Los Angeles wildfires are leveraging California's unique legal doctrine of "inverse condemnation" to seek damages from Southern California Edison (SCE), even if the utility was not negligent. This doctrine, traditionally used against government entities for property damage, has been extended to utilities, making them liable for property damage caused during public service operations, regardless of fault. SCE is facing numerous lawsuits over the Eaton Fire, which destroyed thousands of structures and caused at least 24 deaths. Plaintiffs claim the fire originated near SCE's high-voltage transmission towers, although the company reports no operational anomalies on its lines before or during the fire.California law does not require plaintiffs to prove negligence for property damage claims under inverse condemnation. However, proving negligence could enable claims for personal injuries and wrongful death. The lawsuits cite substantial economic losses and damages exceeding insurance coverage. To mitigate financial impacts, a $21 billion state wildfire insurance fund is available, capping SCE's exposure at $3.9 billion.These cases, expected to take years to resolve, highlight the escalating legal and financial consequences for utilities in wildfire-prone areas.California utility faces billions in claims for fire damage even if it did nothing wrong | ReutersPam Bondi, nominated by Donald Trump for U.S. attorney general, assured the Senate Judiciary Committee that she would not politicize the Justice Department, but refused to rule out investigating Trump critics. Bondi, who previously served as Florida's attorney general and defended Trump during his 2019 impeachment trial, emphasized her focus on issues like violent crime and human trafficking while acknowledging she would evaluate investigations and potential pardons on a case-by-case basis.Democratic lawmakers expressed concerns about her independence, referencing Trump's pledge to target his adversaries and the dismissal of two past attorneys general who defied him. Bondi criticized Special Counsel Jack Smith's investigations into Trump as partisan but claimed she would maintain fairness. Republicans praised Bondi, urging her to restore the Justice Department's reputation and combat crime and border issues. Democrats questioned her involvement in promoting Trump's election fraud claims and her support for FBI director nominee Kash Patel, who has been linked to controversial conspiracy theories. Bondi acknowledged Biden's 2020 victory but suggested irregularities in Pennsylvania. The committee continues vetting other controversial cabinet nominees ahead of Trump's upcoming inauguration.Trump nominee Pam Bondi vows independence, but won't rule out probes of Trump critics | ReutersIn my column for Bloomberg this week I focus on the strategic risks of advocating for retirement account tax reforms during the anticipated extension of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) provisions under a new Trump administration. Extending these provisions, a top priority, will cost an estimated $4.6 trillion over the next decade, creating a politically and fiscally sensitive environment where other tax code changes could face heightened scrutiny. The 403(b) retirement accounts, designed for public employees and nonprofit workers, are particularly vulnerable because of their association with significant tax expenditures, which totaled over $300 billion in 2022 and are projected to exceed $2 trillion by 2026. Advocates for reform in areas like expanding 403(b) investment options should avoid pushing these changes now, as drawing attention to retirement accounts could lead to cuts framed as cost-saving measures. History shows that retirement savings provisions are not immune to political pressure, with past examples including the TCJA's elimination of Roth IRA recharacterizations and narrowly avoided cuts to 401(k) benefits. In this high-stakes fiscal landscape, strategic patience is essential. Advocates are advised to focus on preserving existing provisions rather than risking unintended consequences by pursuing reform during an unfavorable political moment.Retirement Account Reformists Should Wait to Push Tax Code Changes This is a public episode.

This nonfiction account of our nation's 20th president will knock your socks off.  Destiny of the Republic, A Tale of Madness, Medicine, and the Murder of a President by Candice Millard gives readers an amazing glimpse into the past. We get a front seat to the election of a man who did not want to be president but was willing to get out of his comfort zone for the good of the country, appealing to God for aid in the trial before him. He made great strides to bring a divided country together, yet little is known about James A. Garfield, “a man incapable of carrying a grudge, a poor hater but a good fighter.”.  Fatherless before the age of 2, Garfield grew up in abject poverty. Interestingly enough, so did Charles Guiteau, the man who shot him. What determined their vastly different paths? The big difference was attitude. “Garfield rose quickly through the layers of society, not with aggression or even overt ambition, but with a passionate love of learning.” Guiteau believed he was entitled to special treatment, his work ethic was almost non-existent. He survived by asking men for money when necessary or just not paying bills when he could get away with it.,  The real cause of Garfield's death surprised us, pride ended up being the culprit. Please join us as we unpack the sad facts about the disbelief doctors had about germs and the unwillingness of Dr. Bliss to listen to others which caused Garfield to suffer needlessly. “Ignorance is Bliss” is a quote that now has a new meaning. On the other side of the coin, there were helpful caring people who worked tirelessly to help the president (air-conditioning was invented by the Navy and Alexander Graham Bell worked on an invention to find the bullet). Garfield's many quotes are true gems, “I'd rather be beaten in Right than succeed in Wrong.”

This Day in Legal History: Guiteau Stands Trial for AssassinationOn November 14, 1881, Charles Guiteau stood trial for assassinating President James A. Garfield. Garfield had been shot by Guiteau in July of that year but succumbed to his injuries months later, largely due to medical mismanagement. At the time, sterilization practices were not widely understood or practiced, and Garfield's doctors repeatedly probed his wound with unwashed instruments and hands, leading to a fatal infection. Despite the role of inadequate medical care, Guiteau was held fully responsible for the president's death, setting a notable precedent in criminal law.Guiteau's defense centered on claims of insanity, arguing that he believed he was acting on divine command to remove Garfield. His erratic behavior in court, which included singing, reciting poetry, and accusing his defense attorneys of incompetence, underscored his unstable mental state. However, nineteenth-century legal standards for insanity were narrow and rarely accepted by courts. The prosecution argued that Guiteau understood the wrongfulness of his act, and he was ultimately found guilty and sentenced to death.The case spotlighted serious deficiencies in the legal system's treatment of mental illness and brought attention to the need for clearer guidelines on the insanity defense. It also ignited a broader conversation on the role of medical practices in causation, as some questioned whether Guiteau could be solely responsible for Garfield's death. Guiteau's trial and conviction marked one of the first high-profile uses of the insanity defense in the United States and influenced subsequent legal reforms regarding both mental health assessments and standards of criminal responsibility.President-elect Donald Trump has named Matt Gaetz, a firebrand Republican congressman with a face that might terrify even the devil himself, as his nominee for attorney general. Gaetz, who has previously faced scrutiny from the Justice Department over sex trafficking allegations, will replace current leadership to help Trump “end Weaponized Government” and enact an aggressive conservative agenda. Gaetz, who resigned from Congress immediately, is known for his unconventional political moves, including his role in ousting former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, and for his call to dismantle federal agencies like the FBI. His appointment has already triggered controversy, with Senate Republicans like Lisa Murkowski expressing skepticism about his qualifications and intentions. Gaetz's background has raised security clearance concerns, given the history of investigations into his conduct.The nomination aligns with Trump's stated intentions to reshape the Justice Department, positioning the attorney general as crucial to plans for mass deportations, pardons of January 6 rioters, and prosecutorial retribution. Gaetz's legal experience consists mainly of work at a Florida law firm before he entered politics, though he has recently championed populist stances on antitrust enforcement, supporting the Federal Trade Commission's fight against noncompete clauses and cheering the Justice Department's antitrust case against Google. Gaetz's nomination fuels concern among former Justice Department officials, who fear that he could further politicize an institution traditionally independent from White House influence.Trump taps firebrand congressman Matt Gaetz for attorney general | ReutersIn the corruption trial of former U.S. Senator Robert Menendez, prosecutors revealed that jurors were mistakenly shown unredacted evidence during deliberations. However, they argued this error does not warrant overturning the conviction, asserting that the evidence against Menendez was overwhelming. Menendez, a former New Jersey senator, was convicted in August of corruption charges that included accepting bribes like gold bars and cash, allegedly in exchange for political favors. He has maintained his innocence and plans to appeal. The Manhattan U.S. Attorney's Office indicated that both the defense and prosecution missed the unredacted material during trial, emphasizing that it likely did not affect the jury's guilty verdict on all 16 counts, including wire fraud, obstruction of justice, and illegal foreign agency activities. Menendez, once a senior figure in the Senate as the chair of the foreign relations committee, now faces sentencing in January with a potential for decades in prison.Bob Menendez jury was mistakenly shown improper evidence, prosecutors say | ReutersGary Wang, former chief technology officer of FTX, is assisting federal prosecutors by developing software to detect fraud in both stock and cryptocurrency markets. Wang, who previously wrote the code allowing ex-FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried to siphon billions from FTX customers, has been cooperating with the government since FTX's collapse. Prosecutors are asking for leniency in Wang's upcoming sentencing, highlighting his proactive efforts to prevent similar crimes. His new tool, details of which remain confidential to protect its effectiveness, is valued by prosecutors for its potential in identifying financial crimes. This cooperation follows Bankman-Fried's recent 25-year prison sentence for fraud and misuse of $8 billion in customer funds, while other former FTX associates, like Caroline Ellison and Nishad Singh, received lighter sentences due to their cooperation. Wang, the last of Bankman-Fried's close associates awaiting sentencing, was instrumental in exposing the scheme by testifying that Bankman-Fried directed him to alter FTX's code to grant Alameda Research unauthorized access to customer funds.Bankman-Fried lieutenant builds fraud detection tool for prosecutors | ReutersA federal appeals court has struck down a New York law that heavily restricted antiques dealers from selling or displaying ivory and rhinoceros horn items, ruling it unconstitutional. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found that the law, which limited ivory content in antiques to less than 20%, overstepped by restricting dealers' First Amendment commercial speech rights. Judges argued that the law prevented dealers from communicating important details about legally marketable items, deeming this an excessive speech restriction. While federal law already restricts ivory sales under the Endangered Species Act, it allows for goods with up to 50% ivory, whereas New York's stricter limit of 20% was intended to curb poaching of endangered species. However, the court ruled that New York's law also blocked the sale of items permitted in interstate and international trade, making it too broad. The decision was a setback for animal rights groups that supported the law to protect vulnerable wildlife, although the Humane Society noted that New York could still enforce the law against local buyers.New York ivory ban for antiques dealers voided by US appeals court | ReutersLaw firm revenue surged nearly 12% in the first three quarters of the year, driven by increased demand for legal services and higher productivity, according to Citi's law firm banking group. The top 50 law firms saw especially notable gains, with revenues up 14%, demand growth at 3.6%, and productivity rising by 2.9%. Gretta Rusanow from Citi's Law Firm Group highlighted 2023 as potentially one of the strongest years for the industry, citing steady demand momentum quarter by quarter. Industry-wide demand rose by 3.2%, with lawyer productivity improving as headcount growth slowed to 1.3%, returning to historical norms. Expense growth was 7.5%, with overhead costs increasing by 8.2% and compensation expenses by 6.7%. Legal services demand spanned diverse practice areas, notably in litigation, regulatory issues, investment management, and bankruptcy. Although transactional demand has been quiet, Rusanow anticipates a rebound in mergers and acquisitions activity. Law firms also invested in technology upgrades, including new practice management tools and generative AI, which contributed to higher expenses. Law Firm Revenue Soars 12% as Lawyers Get Back to Being Busy This is a public episode.

What if the American Republic has created its own antidote to fraudulent elections?Discover how pivotal US presidential contests have sculpted the American Republic, starting with the Revolution of 1800—a heated rivalry between John Adams and Thomas Jefferson that resulted in America's first peaceful transfer of power. This historic shift not only led to the creation of the 12th Amendment but also set precedents for future elections. As we journey through time, we'll dissect the dramatic 1824 election and its notorious "corrupt bargain," which fractured political parties and redefined the landscape of American democracy by 1828.In "Fraud of the Century" we learn of the intense election of 1876, where disputed results between Rutherford B. Hayes and Samuel J. Tilden almost tore the nation apart. This election's resolution, the Compromise of 1877, ended Reconstruction and redefined the political climate in the South, laying the groundwork for the era of Jim Crow. We'll also touch on the narrow victory of James A. Garfield in 1880, a contest that highlighted the vulnerabilities of electoral integrity. Finally, we invite you to explore the Theory to Action podcast recap, packed with key insights and practical takeaways to keep you motivated and informed. Don't miss out on the engaging stories and critical lessons from these transformative moments in American history.Key Points from the Episode:Revolution of 1800: The election between John Adams and Thomas Jefferson marked the first peaceful transfer of power between political parties in the U.S., establishing a crucial precedent for future elections and reinforcing democratic stability.Election of 1824: Known for the "corrupt bargain," this election saw John Quincy Adams become president despite Andrew Jackson winning the most votes, leading to political fallout and Jackson's eventual victory in 1828.likewise the elections of 1860 and 1864 and 1960 and 1964 even to the point of reinforcing our theory that the very close elections are always followed by a decisive election afterward which is the result of American Resilience.   the outlier was the Election of 1876: The disputed results between Rutherford B. Hayes and Samuel J. Tilden led to the Compromise of 1877, ending Reconstruction and paving the way for Jim Crow laws in the South.followed by the Election of 1880: James A. Garfield's narrow victory highlighted electoral vulnerabilities and underscored ongoing political issues, including tariffs and civil service reform.These pivotal elections set precedents for peaceful transitions, exposed electoral process vulnerabilities, and influenced significant policy shifts with lasting societal impacts.all this is to say, we need to make it To Big To Rig in 2024.Other resources: Want to leave a review?

The Power of Persuasion. Believing a lie as if it were the truth, this is what happens when the truth is eschewed and manipulated for political science purposes. There is an all-out assault on the human psyche…for the truth…and if we cannot find truth then we are all in big trouble!! Understanding the power of motivation, the ability to move an individual is important in understanding the Mass Formation and Propagandizing of the masses. The same things that motivate a person to act or believe are needed to move groups of people. Since we are unconscious creatures, we can be manipulated if not consciously aware of the wiles of our enemy.

Luke chapter 2 has to be one of the most exciting, important, and special chapters in all the Bible! Luke has done his research, no doubt interviewing Mary personally, and even possibly talking with the shepherds mentioned in this chapter. He gives more details concerning the birth of Jesus Christ than any other of the Gospel writers. Matthew gives only a little description of Jesus birth at Bethlehem with the wise men visiting Him with gifts and Herod the local king attempting to kill Him. Mark leaves out any details of Jesus birth and simply tells us that He is baptized by John and He begins His ministry preaching. John highlights Jesus' divinity as the Word becomes Flesh with no mention of His birth at Bethlehem.   While Luke 1 gives us the theme of joy and rejoicing at the coming of Jesus, Luke 2 highlights the sovereignty of God behind the scenes in the events of the world and the birth of Jesus Christ! While Jesus was born as weak as any other baby humanly speaking, He was also the center of power as far as heaven was concerned.   First His birth drew Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem (vv. 1-7). Augustus Caesar was ruling, but God was in charge, for He used Caesar's edict to move Mary and Joseph eighty miles from Nazareth to Bethlehem to fulfill His Word. Rome took a census every fourteen years for both military and tax purposes, and each Jewish male had to return to the city of his fathers to record his name, occupation, property, and family.   When Mary said "Be it unto me according to Thy word" (Luke 1:38), it meant that from then on, her life would be a part of the fulfillment of divine prophecy. God had promised that the Savior would be a human, not an angel (Gen. 3:15; Heb. 2:16), and a Jew, not a Gentile (Gen. 12:1-3; Num. 24:17). He would be from the tribe of Judah (Gen. 49:10), and the family of David (2 Sam. 7:1-17), born of a virgin (Isa. 7:14) in Bethlehem,' the city of David (Micah 5:2).   All of this occurred just as the Scriptures said, and Caesar unknowingly played an important part. A great pastor of yesteryear used to say, "History is His story," and even one of our U.S. Presidents, James A. Garfield called history "the unrolled scroll of prophecy." If God's Word controls our lives, then the events of history only help us fulfill the will of God. "I am watching over My word to perform it," promises the Lord (Jer. 1:12).   The tax that Caesar Augustus imposed required that every person go to the city where he was born to be registered. Joseph and Mary, married now, and the Babe who was soon to be born, had to return to Bethlehem, the ancestral home of David, Israel's greatest king. Like it or not, Joseph and Mary set out on their journey, which must have been tiring and uncomfortable for Mary. That she should be left behind in her condition was unthinkable.   The hand of God was in the whole business. The journey put Mary in Bethlehem in time for the birth of her child. Just where the prophet Micah had declared some six or seven hundred years earlier that Christ would be born (Mic. 5:2). Mary and Joseph were already husband and wife but since they did not consummate the marriage until after Jesus was born, she is called his "espoused wife" (Matt. 1:18-25).   Bethlehem means "house of bread," the ideal birthplace for the Bread of Life (John 6:35). Its rich historic heritage included the death of Rachel and the birth of Benjamin (Gen. 35:16-20; also see Matt. 2:16-18), the marriage of Ruth, and the exploits of David. It is worth noting that the name Benjamin means "son of my right hand," and the name David means "beloved." Both of these names apply to our Lord, for He is the Beloved Son (Luke 3:22) at God's right hand (Ps. 110:1).   Yes, my friend, we can be assured that even today in a world full of corruption, chaos, confusion, and war, our God is sovereign, and He is engineering circumstances for the soon coming again of His Son! We should be looking up!!!!   God bless!

This dramatic event not only shocked the nation but also underscored the vulnerabilities of political leaders and the profound consequences of mental instability. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/plausibly-live/message

A disputed US presidential election? Narrowly avoided government shutdowns? Divisions over race relations stemming from the legacy of slavery in the United States?These issues were on the minds of Americans in 1880, just as they do in 2023.(Maybe the political division that defines the present age is not as unique as we think!)To discuss the similarities — and stark differences — between the United States of America in 1880 and 2023, we're joined by C.W. Goodyear. C.W. (Charlie) is a writer, author, presidential historian, and biographer whose book is President Garfield: From Radical To Unifier. The presidential biography tells the story of a forgotten, misunderstood President, James A. Garfield, whose assassination just 200 days into his first term overshadowed the fascinating life, accomplishments, and failures of the man who became the 20th American president.The presidential biography is also a portrait of an America in flux, where cronyism, nepotism, and bribery dominated national concerns, and a country was attempting (and failing) to navigate the Reconstruction of the South and remedy the recent legacy of chattel slavery in the United States.In this interview, Charlie and Dave explore the life and death of President Garfield, including...The legacy of another "complicated" White man who was, at once, a fervent abolitionist but held "almost genocidal" views of America's indigenous populationIf James A. Garfield was indeed the "single greatest intellect" ever to be elected U.S. PresidentHow Garfield's assassination resulted from political rhetoric, and what happened to political discourse, afterC.W. Goodyear is a graduate of Yale University with a degree in Global Affairs.

"The Three-Story Head" When the Republican convention reconvened on the morning of June 8, 1880, Congressman James A. Garfield of Ohio had precisely two nominations to be the Republican candidate for President. But by the early hours of the next day, on the 36th ballot, following a day unlike that of any political convention in American history, James Garfield was the party's nominee for the Presidency.  Late nineteenth century politicians acquired a bad name in their own day, and subsequently have been regarded not only as venal but, perhaps even worse, as boring. James Garfield was neither of those things. Literally born in a log cabin, he worked on a canal boat before schooling made him a teacher. Subsequent time as a student at Williams College revealed him to be a powerful intellect about whom tales were told ever after — for example, that he could write Greek with one hand, while simultaneously writing Latin with the other. He quickly became president of a small college, an itinerant minister for his church, and with the coming of the Civil War he volunteered, was made colonel of the 42nd Ohio Volunteer Regiment, and led an independent campaign which gave him the rank of brigadier general, and the position of chief of staff for one of the most important Union armies. All of this to say that if James Garfield had never been a politician, let alone been nominated and then elected to the presidency in such a dramatic fashion, he would still have been an interesting and impressive man. Now C.W. Goodyear has told his story in President Garfield: From Radical to Unifier, which just as easily might be subtitled An American Life. For Further Information The James A.
