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.

Leitura Bíblica Do Dia: 1 João 1:1-4 Plano De Leitura Anual: 1 Crônicas 16–18; João 7:28-53 Já fez seu devocional hoje? Aproveite e marque um amigo para fazer junto com você! Confira: Robert, o filho de Abraham Lincoln, presenciou três eventos importantes: a morte de seu próprio pai, e o assassinato de James Garfield e de William McKinley, três presidentes dos EUA. Agora considere que o apóstolo João testemunhou quatro eventos cruciais para a história: a última ceia de Cristo, a Sua agonia no Getsêmani, a crucificação e a ressurreição. João sabia que a sua presença nesses eventos se deu para que ele testemunhasse sobre a vida de Jesus. Ele escreveu: “Este é o discípulo que dá testemunho destes acontecimentos e que os registrou aqui. E sabemos que seu relato é fiel” (JOÃO 21:24). E reafirma isso em sua carta: “Proclamamos a vocês aquele que existia desde o princípio, aquele que ouvimos e vimos com nossos próprios olhos e tocamos com nossas próprias mãos” (1 JOÃO 1:1). Ele sentia o forte compromisso de compartilhar o seu relato testemunhal de Jesus. Por quê? “Anunciamos-lhes aquilo que nós mesmos vimos e ouvimos”, ele disse, “para que tenham comunhão conosco” (v.3). Os acontecimentos de nossa vida podem ser surpreendentes ou comuns, mas em todo caso é Deus quem os coordena, para que possamos ser Suas testemunhas. Ao descansarmos na graça e na sabedoria de Cristo, falemos por Ele, mesmo nos momentos mais inesperados da vida. Por: BILL CROWDER

Former president Chester A. Arthur is probably best remembered for his mutton chops and as a trivia question.  But he did play a surprising role as a reformer when the nation was in the grips of political corruption.  And the story of how he found the courage to do so holds some lessons for how we might interact with political power today in hopes of a better tomorrow.   Joining Saving Elephants host Josh Lewis is Destry Edwards to discuss his new documentary Dear Mr. President: The Letters of Julia Sand, and how a single citizen can have an outsized effect on our political system.   About Destry Edwards Destry Edwards is the Media Production and Studio Manager at the Competitive Enterprise Institute. With a passion for both film and politics, Destry seeks to use storytelling as a way to bridge the gap between people and policy. He is a native of the great state of South Carolina. Before coming on with CEI, Destry's background includes time at FreedomWorks and Blaze Media. Destry holds a Bachelor of Science in Cinema Production from Bob Jones University.   About the Documentary   In 1881, following President James Garfield's assassination, the country was in turmoil. Many suspected Vice President Chester Arthur, a long-time beneficiary of the spoils system, to be a party to the plot and dreaded his ascension to the presidency. In the immediate aftermath—and before the height of the women's suffrage movement—New Yorker Julia Sand wrote to the soon-to-be President. Between August 1881 and September 1883, Sand penned 23 letters to President Arthur imploring him to abandon his corrupt machinations, become the leader the country deserved, and champion civil service reform.  The Competitive Enterprise Institute proudly presents the documentary Dear Mr. President: The Letters of Julia Sand to discover the outsized effect a single citizen can have on our political system.   You can watch the full documentary on the streaming platform SalemNow.

In the first half, author John Koerner joined guest host Richard Syrett (Twitter) to discuss the untold history surrounding the assassinations of four US presidents—Abraham Lincoln, James Garfield, William McKinley, and John F. Kennedy.Koerner highlighted lesser-known details about Lincoln's assassination, noting that John Wilkes Booth carried two Derringers, though only one is officially documented. Booth may have deliberately bought the weapon from a Philadelphia dealer named Abraham on Lincoln's birthday. He suggested Booth had ties to the Confederate Secret Service in Canada, possibly with British involvement, and questioned why this link isn't widely discussed. Koerner also examined security lapses, particularly Lincoln's guard's failure, and theories about Edwin Stanton aiding Booth's escape. Rumors persist that Booth survived rather than dying in a Virginia barn, he noted. Koerner speculated that Lincoln's second term could have advanced civil rights, potentially preventing the rise of the Ku Klux Klan.He argued that Garfield's assassination, though often overlooked, was pivotal in American history. A Civil War veteran, Garfield aimed to advance civil rights and reform corruption. His assassin, Charles Guiteau, used a British Bulldog revolver, but four of five bullets were defective. The weapon later vanished, fueling cover-up theories, Koerner revealed. Guiteau may have been manipulated by political forces, as Garfield's aides received a warning three days prior. Koerner suggested that figures like Senator Roscoe Conkling, who opposed Garfield's reforms, may have benefited from his death. Garfield's survival could have reshaped American democracy by revitalizing Reconstruction and dismantling corrupt political machines.Koerner drew parallels between McKinley's assassination and those of Garfield and JFK, noting all three could have survived without a second shot. McKinley was shot by anarchist Leon Czolgosz, who had mysteriously acquired large sums of money before the attack. Suspicious elements include a man known only as "the Italian" distracting security and the disappearance of key photographic evidence and the murder weapon, he explained. Koerner pointed out that McKinley's pro-business stance made him a target, as his successor, Theodore Roosevelt, aggressively pursued trust-busting and foreign policy changes, hinting that McKinley's death may have shifted America's direction.Regarding JFK's assassination, Koerner questioned the official narrative, particularly the rifle used. Initial reports identified a German Mauser, later changed to an Italian Mannlicher-Carcano, which was adjusted for a left-handed shooter, though Lee Harvey Oswald was right-handed. The timeline of Oswald's actions is also disputed, as he was inside a theater when Officer J.D. Tippit was killed. A paraffin test found no gunpowder on Oswald's cheek, suggesting he hadn't fired a rifle. Koerner linked Kennedy's death to conflicts with financial and oil interests, comparing it to Lincoln and Jackson's opposition to centralized banking, implying JFK was targeted for political and economic reasons rather than by a lone gunman.

In this episode of the podcast, we crack open a Smuttynose "Finest Kind" IPA and dive into the fascinating life and legacy of William McKinley, the 25th President of the United States. Known to many as the "fourth assassinated president" alongside Abraham Lincoln, James Garfield, and John F. Kennedy, McKinley's story goes far beyond trivia night. From his heroic service during the Civil War to his transformative presidency, we explore what made him one of the most influential figures in American history.We discuss McKinley's courageous actions on the battlefield—running through enemy fire to deliver crucial messages—and his rise from an enlisted soldier to the rank of brevet major. Transitioning into politics, McKinley served multiple terms in the House of Representatives, became Governor of Ohio, and ultimately won the presidency in 1896. Learn how his “front porch campaign” changed the face of presidential elections and why he's the only U.S. president to have served in the House but not the Senate.McKinley's presidency marked a turning point for the United States, establishing the nation as a global power. We delve into the impact of the Spanish-American War (1898), which led to the U.S. acquiring Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines, as well as the annexation of Hawaii. McKinley championed the gold standard over silver-backed currency and supported protective tariffs to boost American manufacturing—policies that draw comparisons to modern leaders like Donald Trump. We also touch on his role in strengthening the U.S. Navy, expanding the nation's global influence, and consolidating the power of the Republican Party for decades.Of course, we also cover McKinley's tragic assassination at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York, by anarchist Leon Czolgosz—a pivotal event that reshaped presidential security and led to the Secret Service assuming its protective role. Plus, we explore the eerie coincidence of Robert Todd Lincoln, son of Abraham Lincoln, being present at the assassinations of three U.S. presidents: Lincoln, Garfield, and McKinley.Finally, we discuss the controversy surrounding Mount McKinley—North America's tallest peak—originally named in McKinley's honor but renamed Denali during the Obama administration, sparking debates about history, culture, and politics.Grab a drink, settle in, and join us for a fun and insightful conversation about history, politics, and craft beer.

This is the first episode of a little experiment we're trying this year, a podcast within a podcast on history that we're calling, simply enough, 'Plain History.' There are, I am well aware, a great number of history podcasts out there. But one thing I want to do with this show is to pay special attention to how the past worked. In this episode, for example, we're using the assassination of an American president to consider the practice of medicine in the 19th century. Our subject today is the bestseller 'Destiny of the Republic' by the historian Candice Millard, on the incredible life and absurd and tragic death of President James Garfield. In the summer of 1876, the United States celebrated its 100th birthday at the U.S. Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia. Of the millions of people who walked through the grounds, one was Garfield, who attended the centennial with his wife and six children. In four years' time, he would be elected president at a shocking and chaotic Republican convention. But at the time, he was a 44-year-old congressman known in Washington for being a rags-to-riches genius. Garfield was a perfect match for the centennial grounds, which were themselves a gaudy showcase of genius. In Machinery Hall, visitors could pay for a machine to embroider their suspenders with their initials. They could gaze at one of the world's first internal combustion engines, a technology that would in the next 50 years remake the world by powering a million cars, tractors, and tanks. They could see the first Remington typewriter and Edison telegraph system. In the Main Exhibition Building, a little-known teacher for the deaf caused a riot with his science experiment. In one room, the teacher held up a little metal piece to his mouth and read Hamlet's soliloquy into a transmitter. In a separate room, the emperor of Brazil, sitting with an iron box receiver pressed against his ear, heard each word—to be or not to be—reverberating against his eardrum. The teacher's name was Alexander Graham Bell, and the instrument in question had three months earlier received a patent as the world's first working telephone. A few yards away, a scientist named Joseph Lister was having much less success trying to explain his theories of antisepsis to a crowd of skeptical American doctors. He claimed that the same tiny organisms that Pasteur said turned grape juice into wine also turned our wounds into infestations. Lister encouraged doctors to sterilize wounds and to treat their surgical instruments with carbolic acid. But American doctors laughed off these suggestions. Dr. Samuel Gross, the president of the Medical Congress and the most famous surgeon in America, said, “Little if any faith is placed by any enlightened or experienced surgeon on this side of the Atlantic in the so-called carbolic acid treatment of Professor Lister.” American surgeons instead believed in “open-air treatment,” which is exactly what it sounds like. Here are three characters of a story: James Garfield, Alexander Graham Bell, and Lister's theory of antisepsis. They were united at the 1876 centennial. They would be reunited again in five years, under much more gruesome circumstances, brought together by a medical horror show that would end with a dead president.

Full Episode- (09/17/2024): 3:05pm- On Tuesday, Governor Ron DeSantis held a press conference in West Palm Beach and explained that it isn't in the country's best interest to have the same agencies that are prosecuting former President Donald Trump simultaneously leading the investigation into Sunday's assassination attempt. 3:10pm- On Sunday, Secret Service spotted a 58-year-old man hidden inside the perimeter of Donald Trump's golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida—armed with an AK-47 style rifle, scope, and ceramic plates likely used as protection from gunfire. According to initial reports, the suspect, Ryan Wesley Routh, had been hiding at Trump International Golf Club for 12-hours with the intent of assassinating the former president who golfed 300 yards away. Secret Service fired at Routh, though he managed to escape in a Nissan before ultimately being arrested a short time later. This is now the second assassination attempt against former president Trump in roughly two-months. 3:20pm- On Tuesday, Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris spoke with members of the National Association of Black Journalists in Center City, Philadelphia. Rich notes that Harris's visit means more word salads and more local traffic. 3:30pm- Kat Timpf—Comedian, TV Personality, and New York Times Bestselling Author—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss her latest book, “I Used to Like You Until…(How Binary Thinking Divides Us).” How important is her book? Timpf jokes: “I would rather even have people read [the book] than buy it, which sounds crazy to my own bottom line.” You can find more information about the book here: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/I-Used-to-Like-You-Until/Kat-Timpf/9781668067277 3:40pm- While speaking with Politico, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas stated that Donald Trump is now “approximately” receiving the same security as Joe Biden. 4:05pm- Rich wonders: how are these “random, lone gunmen” able to get so close to former President Donald Trump? It's imperative all information regarding both assassination attempts be made public. 4:15pm- While speaking with Megyn Kelly, Eric Trump said that people are clearly trying to kill his father and that the threats will not stop. 4:20pm- The History of Presidential Assassination Attempts: There have been four presidents who have been assassinated while in office: Abraham Lincoln, James Garfield, William McKinley, and John F. Kennedy. Sadly, there have also been numerous attempts against sitting and former presidents—including Ronald Reagan, Donald Trump, and Teddy Roosevelt. Interestingly, a would-be assassin's gun misfired twice while attempting to kill Andrew Jackson—Jackson used a cane to beat the man. 4:40pm- Diddy Indicted on Charges of Sex Trafficking: Ben Sisario and Julia Jacobs write, “in a federal indictment unsealed on Tuesday, Mr. Combs, 54, was also described as the boss of a yearslong criminal enterprise that threatened and abused women, coercing them to participate against their will in drug-fueled orgies with male prostitutes and threatening them with violence or the loss of financial support if they refused. Mr. Combs, who pleaded not guilty, was denied bail at an arraignment on Tuesday afternoon. The 14-page indictment against Mr. Combs, a producer, record executive and performer who is also known as Diddy and Puff Daddy, includes three counts of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. Prosecutors said that to commit these acts, Mr. Combs and his employees engaged in kidnapping, forced labor, arson and bribery, and kept firearms at the ready.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/17/arts/music/sean-combs-diddy-indicted.html 4:50pm- Rich hates avocado mayo, brioche buns, and Matt. 5:05pm- On Tuesday, Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris spoke with members of the National Association of Black Journalists in Center City, Philadel ...

While most media focuses on debating certain details of the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, be the focus on divine protection or the denying of the assassination attempt itself, there is a peculiar pattern that has been overlooked. The majority of US assassinations on high profile leaders have two things in common, though both boil down to power. Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, James Garfield, William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, and Ronald Reagan took varying degrees of action against central bankers, usury, the outlawing of precious metals, corporate greed, or the owning of humans as property. All but two, Jackson and Kennedy, were Republicans. James Hinds was also Republican, and the first member of Congress assassinated (by the KKK) for helping former slaves register to vote. Louis T McFadden, another Republican member of Congress who was reportedly poisoned, was vehemently opposed to bankers and their plan: to create "a superstate controlled by international bankers, and international industrialists acting together to enslave the world for their own pleasure." Banks and slavery are one and the same, for more than one reason, primarily because the banks ran the international slave trade as they run the debt slave trade today.

Vous aimez notre peau de caste ? Soutenez-nous ! https://www.lenouvelespritpublic.fr/abonnement Une émission de Philippe Meyer, enregistrée au studio l'Arrière-boutique le 19 juillet 2024. Avec cette semaine : Nicolas Baverez, essayiste et avocat. David Djaïz, entrepreneur, essayiste et ancien secrétaire général du Conseil National de la Refondation. Lucile Schmid, vice-présidente de La Fabrique écologique et membre du comité de rédaction de la revue Esprit. Lionel Zinsou, ancien Premier ministre du Bénin et président de la fondation Terra Nova. QUELS PRINCIPES DE RÉALITÉ VONT S'IMPOSER À L'ACTION GOUVERNEMENTALE ? Le président de la République a accepté, mardi, la démission de son Premier ministre, Gabriel Attal. Resté de plein exercice malgré la défaite du camp présidentiel le 7 juillet dernier, le gouvernement est désormais un « gouvernement en affaires courantes. Jusqu'à la nomination d'une nouvelle équipe gouvernementale, l'exécutif se bornera à accomplir le strict nécessaire pour assurer la continuité de l'Etat. Et ce, pendant « quelques semaines », vraisemblablement jusqu'à la fin des Jeux olympiques au moins, ont affirmé des participants au Conseil des ministres mardi. La dissolution et son résultat électoral laissent un paysage politique fragmenté tant sur le plan des groupes politiques que des idées. Les alliances qui vont structurer les prochains mois et les prochaines années sont incertaines, entre coalitions introuvables, gouvernements minoritaires et divergences béantes sur de grands enjeux, des retraites à la politique salariale en passant par la sécurité. L'ancien secrétaire général de la CFDT, Laurent Berger pointe les grands chantiers urgents susceptibles de faire consensus dans une coalition républicaine responsable : « réduire les fractures qui ont lézardé la société, apaiser et réconcilier ; endiguer tout risque de crise de régime totale ; définir un cap économique et social à la fois performant et inclusif ; définir une stratégie environnementale à même d'entrainer massivement au sein de la population ; rendre à la société du « pouvoir d'« agir » ». « Je le dis à toutes les forces politiques, à chacun ses remèdes, mais il faut arriver à un consensus pour réduire la dette », enjoint le premier président de la Cour des comptes Pierre Moscovici qui rappelle que « nous avons deux dettes, une dette financière et une dette climatique, auxquelles nous devons faire face simultanément. » Selon lui, « réduire la dette n'est ni de gauche ni de droite, c'est d'intérêt général », car « un pays endetté est un pays paralysé ». Pour la France, quelle que soit l'option retenue à l'issue de la phase de décantation qui s'ouvre dans un Parlement divisé, la nécessité d'améliorer la situation de nos finances publiques s'imposera à tous, conclut-il. LES ETATS-UNIS RATTRAPÉS PAR LEURS DÉMONS ? Le meeting de Donald Trump à Butler, en Pennsylvanie, le 13 juillet, a frôlé la tragédie avec la tentative d'assassinat contre le candidat républicain, Donald Trump. Bien que l'assaillant présumé, Thomas Matthew Crooks, âgé de 20 ans, ait été identifié par le FBI comme étant un électeur républicain, cela n'a pas empêché les partisans de Donald Trump de se déchaîner contre le camp Biden, l'accusant d'avoir ouvert la voie à l'agression en multipliant, selon eux, les appels à la haine contre leur candidat. Dans l'histoire américaine, quatre présidents en exercice ont été assassinés. Trois républicains - Abraham Lincoln en 1865, James Garfield en 1881, William McKinley en 1901 - et un démocrate, John F. Kennedy tué à Dallas en novembre 1963. Six autres présidents ont été la cible de tentatives d'assassinat : Andrew Jackson en 1835, Theodore Roosevelt en 1912, Franklin D. Roosevelt en 1933, Harry S. Truman en 1950, Gerald Ford en 1975, et Ronald Reagan en 1981. On ne compte plus les attentats ayant eu pour effet de supprimer des leaders politiques, comme le pasteur Martin Luther King, héraut de la lutte pour les droits civiques, ou encore le sénateur démocrate Robert Kennedy, tous deux tués en 1968. Selon un sondage publié le 24 juin par l'équipe du professeur Robert Pape, spécialiste de la violence politique à l'université de Chicago, environ 10 % des adultes américains, soit l'équivalent de 26 millions de personnes soutiennent l'utilisation de la force pour empêcher Donald Trump de devenir président ; tandis que 7 % des adultes américains, soit l'équivalent de 18 millions de personnes, soutiennent l'utilisation de la force pour rétablir Donald Trump à la présidence. Le camp MAGA (Make America Great Again) de Donald Trump est largement réfractaire à toute forme de contrôle sur les armes semi-automatiques comme le AR-15 — le fusil le plus populaire des États-Unis, celui utilisé par Matthew Crooks. Les menaces contre les membres du Congrès ont été multipliées par cinq à partir de la première année de l'administration Trump, en 2017 par rapport à la période 2001-2016. Un Américain court six fois plus de risque de mourir par arme à feu qu'un Français. Dans certains États, un citoyen peut légalement abattre toute personne qui est perçue comme « menaçante ». Les Américains détiennent à eux seuls le quart des armes de petit calibre dans le monde : près de 400 000 millions. Au cours de la convention du parti Républicain qui s'est ouverte lundi à Milwaukee dans le Wisconsin, James David Vance a été choisi comme colistier par Donald Trump. Vance s'est fait le porte-voix de l'Amérique déclassée, notamment dans son ouvrage : « Hillbilly élégie », ou « Elégie pour les ploucs » publié en 2017. Mercredi, Joe Biden, atteint de Covid, déclarait qu'il ne se retirerait de la course à la Maison Blanche que « si un médecin lui déclarait un problème ».Chaque semaine, Philippe Meyer anime une conversation d'analyse politique, argumentée et courtoise, sur des thèmes nationaux et internationaux liés à l'actualité.

In light of calls for President Joe Biden to step down because of cognition issues and the near assassination of President Donald Trump, its time to revisit the 25th Amendment. Learn about how the original, unamended Constitution addressed the death, removal, or incapacity of the President or Vice President and its three major defects. The original Constitution left gapping holes about under what circumstances, and in what way, power would flow between the President and Vice President. For many decades, the shortcomings of the original Article II, Section 1 provisions of the Constitution were laid bare — through deaths, illnesses, and incapacitations of Presidents and Vice Presidents. Explore how the country dealt with those flaws until the adoption of the 25th Amendment in 1967 with the illness, incapacity, disability, and grievous injures of Presidents Woodrow Wilson, James Garfield, Grover Cleveland, and others — which were hidden — and the implications for history.  Walk through the assassination of President John F. Kennedy (JFK) and the resignation of President Richard Nixon. Section 1 of the 25th Amendment makes clear that when a President dies, is removed, or resigns, that the Vice President becomes President. Section 2 of the 25th Amendment provides a process to replace the Vice President. Section 3 of the 25th Amendment provides a simple mechanism by which the President can temporarily cede power to the Vice President. Section 4 of the 25th Amendment provides a process by which a President incapable or unwilling to declare him or herself incapable of performing his or her duties to be replaced by a Vice President as acting President. If there is a dispute, Congress decides with a two-thirds threshold. Understand how the 25th Amendment was used by President Ronald Reagan and President George W. Bush when undergoing medical procedures.  Review the calls by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Senator Chuck Schumer to replace President Donald Trump through the 25th Amendment.  Highlights include Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House Nanci Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Vice President Mike Pence, January 6 Capitol Protest a/k/a January 6 Storming of the Capitol, President Donald Trump, President (and Vice President) Joe Biden, President William Henry Harrison death, President John Tyler, President Richard Nixon resignation, President Abraham Lincoln assassination (and assassination plot against Vice President Andrew Johnson, William Seward, and General Ulysses S.

Abraham Lincoln, James Garfield, William McKinley y John Fitzgerald Kennedy fueron presidentes de Estados Unidos en distintos momentos, pero, aparte del hecho de ocupar la presidencia, compartieron un destino común: los cuatro fueron asesinados mientras estaban en el cargo. El primero de ellos fue Abraham Lincoln en 1865. El país no tenía ni un siglo de historia y la guerra civil estaba a punto de concluir. El 14 de abril de aquel año un pistolero llamado John Wilkes Booth le disparó en la nuca cuando el presidente asistía a una representación teatral en Washington. El asesinato de Lincoln era la parte más importante de un complot de los confederados para revertir una derrota segura. Abatieron al presidente, pero no a sus otros dos objetivos: el vicepresidente y el secretario de Estado. Consiguieron todo lo contrario de lo que se proponían. Lincoln fue ascendido a categoría de héroe nacional y como tal se le recuerda hoy. No muchos años después, en 1881 fue tiroteado en una estación ferroviaria de Washington el presidente James Garfield, que había tomado posesión del cargo el 4 de marzo, sólo unos meses antes. Garfield era republicano y en aquellos momentos el partido se encontraba muy dividido. Un miembro del partido, decepcionado porque no le habían dado un cargo, Charles Guiteau, decidió vengarse aprovechando que el presidente iba a tomar un tren para pasar las vacaciones. El 2 de julio se dirigió armado con un pequeño revolver a la estación de Baltimore y Potomac, se acercó al presidente y le disparó a quemarropa por la espalda. Garfield no murió en el acto, fue trasladado a la Casa Blanca con una bala en el cuerpo, pero aún pasarían casi tres meses hasta que a finales de septiembre murió víctima de una sepsis. Veinte años más tarde, en septiembre de 1901 caería asesinado el tercer presidente, pero esta vez no sería en Washington, sino en Búfalo, una ciudad al norte del Estado de Nueva York adonde había viajado para darse un baño de multitudes durante la celebración de la Exposición Panamericana. Esta vez el asesino fue un anarquista de Detroit llamado Leon Czolgosz. McKinley acababa de estrenar su segundo mandato y era un presidente muy popular. Tras visitar la exposición quiso estrechar la mano personalmente de tantos asistentes como fuera posible en el palacio de la música, uno de los pabellones más vistosos de la exposición. Ese era el momento que Czolgosz esperaba para poder acercarse al presidente y dispararle a corta distancia con un revolver que llevaba escondido en la mano debajo de un pañuelo. Tuvo tiempo de disparar dos veces. La primera bala fue desviada por un botón, la segunda penetró en su abdomen. Pero, como ya le ocurrió a Garfield, McKinley no murió ese día. Fue llevado de urgencia a la enfermería de la exposición donde intentaron sin éxito extraerle la bala. Quedó en observación en la casa del presidente de la exposición y allí moriría una semana más tarde víctima de la gangrena. Que tres presidentes fuesen asesinados en un lapso tan breve de tiempo provocó que se extremasen las medidas de seguridad. Fue tras el asesinato de McKinley cuando el Congreso pidió a Servicio Secreto, dedicado hasta entonces a perseguir la falsificación de moneda, se encargase también de la seguridad presidencial. Eso no impidió que seis décadas después fuese asesinado el presidente Kennedy en Dallas. Este magnicidio es el más reciente y también el más conocido ya que dio lugar a todo tipo de teorías de la conspiración a cada cual más imaginativa. El de Kennedy fue un asesinato mucho más elaborado que los anteriores. Corrió a cargo de un tirador, Lee Harvey Oslwald, que esperó a que la caravana presidencial pasase por delante de un almacén en el que se había apostado con un rifle dotado de mira telescópica. El presidente viajaba en una limusina descubierta junto a su esposa y el gobernador de Texas. La muerte fue instantánea y eso puso en marcha de inmediato la sucesión presidencial. El vicepresidente Lyndon B. Johnson tuvo que jurar el cargo apresuradamente a bordo del Air Force One. Desde entonces han intentado asesinar a los sucesivos presidentes en varias ocasiones, pero sin éxito. Hoy en La ContraHistoria vamos a repasar los primeros tres magnicidios que conmocionaron a Estados Unidos y que, en última instancia, han hecho de sus presidentes los mandatarios mejor protegidos del mundo. El cuarto, el de Kennedy, mucho mejor documentado, lo veremos en el siguiente capítulo.

While most media focuses on debating certain details of the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, be the focus on divine protection or the denying of the assassination attempt itself, there is a peculiar pattern that has been overlooked. The majority of US assassinations on high profile leaders have two things in common, though both boil down to power. Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, James Garfield, William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, and Ronald Reagan took varying degrees of action against central bankers, usury, the outlawing of precious metals, corporate greed, or the owning of humans as property. All but two, Jackson and Kennedy, were Republicans. James Hinds was also Republican, and the first member of Congress assassinated (by the KKK) for helping former slaves register to vote. Louis T McFadden, another Republican member of Congress who was reportedly poisoned, was vehemently opposed to bankers and their plan: to create "a superstate controlled by international bankers, and international industrialists acting together to enslave the world for their own pleasure." Banks and slavery are one and the same, for more than one reason, primarily because the banks ran the international slave trade as they run the debt slave trade today. What might this tell us about the assassination attempt on Trump or what might happen next?

In 1881, President James Garfield was assassinated by a man named Charles Guiteau. The American public, understandably, wanted vengeance. But as the government began to prepare for Guiteau's trial, a problem emerged: Guiteau, some experts believed, was insane, and might not have been responsible for his actions. Could justice be achieved in a case like this? Guiteau's dramatic trial put that question to the test...See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kurt will share experiences from his quest, such as attending a Sunday school class led by Jimmy Carter, paying his respects to Ronald Reagan as he lay in state in the Capital Rotunda and standing next to assassinated President James Garfield's casket in a section of his tomb that only a handful of people had visited in the last fifty years! He will also tell us stories he learned along the way that include grave robberies and a forensic exhumation.

James Garfield was the last president born in a log cabin, and was raised by a poor widow on Ohio's rugged Western Reserve. By his late twenties, he had become a respected preacher, state senator, and college president, and, after the Civil War broke out, joined the Union Army to help eradicate the “monstrous injustice of human slavery.” Soon Garfield was the youngest general fighting for the Union, and before war's end was its youngest Congressman—as well as one of its most progressive. He helped establish equal citizenship and voting rights for Black Americans, and became one of the most powerful leaders of the postwar Republican Party. By 1880, Garfield was not only Minority Leader of the House, but also a practicing Supreme Court attorney, the founder of the Department of Education, the creator of a proof of the Pythagorean theorem, a Senator-elect, and (unwillingly) the Republican nominee for President. A more compelling “American Dream” story among Presidents does not exist.Garfield's personal achievements are even more notable given the turmoil surrounding his ascent to power. He was the only major American politician who held national office for all of Reconstruction and the start of the Gilded Age. A crucial pragmatist of a divided era, he even brokered the peaceful but controversial settlement of the country's first disputed Presidential election in 1876. “To be an extreme man is doubtless comfortable,” Garfield once remarked before his assassination. “It is painful to see so many sides to a subject.” The parallels between his time and our own are easy to spot. To explore forgotten aspects of Garfield's life is today's guest, C.W. Goodyear, author of “President Garfield: From Radical to Unifier.”This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3101278/advertisement

Today on Here's Where It Gets Interesting, Sharon sits down with author Alex Prud'homme about his book, Dinner with the President, all about White House food. He is the coauthor of his aunt Julia Child's memoir, My Life in France, and merges Presidential history with dishes that were the height of sophistication at one point. An on ramp to this book and conversation can be summarized in this passage: “Presidential meals often had personal meaning, and sometimes con­tained coded political messages. James Garfield and Dwight Eisenhower liked bowls of squirrel soup. William Howard Taft had a taste for possum. Zachary Taylor died after eating cherries and drinking cold milk. Wood­row Wilson had chronic indigestion and consumed dubious elixirs, yet he and Herbert Hoover saved millions of lives with innovative food poli­cies. The gourmand Theodore Roosevelt and his gourmet cousin Frank­lin D. Roosevelt led the nation over bison steaks and terrapin soups. (A gourmand is someone who eats and drinks to wretched excess. A gour­met is a connoisseur of fine dining.) JFK liked clam chowder, LBJ favored chili, Richard Nixon ate cottage cheese almost every day, and George W. Bush liked ballpark hot dogs. The presidents' food choices reflected the state of the nation.”Hosted by: Sharon McMahonGuest: Alex Prud'hommeExecutive Producer: Heather JacksonAudio Producer: Jenny SnyderResearcher: Valerie Hoback Hosted on Acast.
