This is Episode 84 - Notorious Governors of Texas Edmund J. Davis and the first of our series of Notorious Governors of Texas. With all the politics in the news today, I've naturally been thinking about politics and politicians. One group that has always intrigued me are governors. Not presidents, or senators, or members of the house, but governors. They're the ones who really give a state its identity, well at least in a way, because they're most often the ‘face' of the state. Here in Texas, our current governor seems to love making pronouncements about how his administration is going to fight this or that evil that might be encroaching on Texan's freedoms. More often than not, it's usually just a bunch of fluff that his advisors know will make his hard-core supporters emotional and get him on the evening news. After all he's running for re-election and needs to make sure people don't forget about him. Naturally this got me to thinking about Texas governors in the past, so I started researching what I thought of the most notorious governors in the history of the state. These governors often gained notoriety due to the turbulent, defining political eras in which they served, such as the Civil War, Reconstruction, and the Progressive era scandals. So, today I'm going to start a series on these leaders from the past. First is Edmund J. Davis: Union Army Officer and Reconstruction Governor of Texas. Davis was governor in the reconstruction period 1870 and 1874. He was a Republican, (not the type of Republican we have today, these were the anti-slavery, pro-union republicans). Since he was a Republican during Reconstruction, needless to say he was very unpopular with a large percentage of white Texans. They thought of him as a tyrant, because he believed in using the state police and he was adamant in enforcing what many considered to be radical Republican policies. Who was he, and how did he become governor? As were many Texans at the time, he wasn't originally from Texas. He was born at St. Augustine, Florida, on October 2, 1827, to William Godwin and Mary Ann (Channer) Davis. His lineage traced back to a Grandfather Godwin Davis, who had immigrated from England to Virginia and had fought and perished during the Revolutionary War. His father, who lived in South Carolina, was a land developer and attorney in St. Augustine. As a young man Davis was educated in Florida, and at age 19 moved, with the family to Galveston, Texas, in January 1848. In Galveston he started a career working in the post office while he undertook the study of law. In 1849 he relocated to Corpus Christi, where he worked in a store and continued to read and study law and in the fall of 1849, he was admitted to the bar. Between 1849 and 1853 he was an inspector and deputy collector of customs at Laredo. In 1853 he became district attorney of the Twelfth Judicial District at Brownsville. About 1856 Governor Elisha M. Pease named him judge of the same district, and Davis continued to serve as a state judge until 1861. As judge he accompanied the ranger unit of Capt. William G. Tobin, who was involved in the Cortina affair at Brownsville in 1859 On April 6, 1858, Davis married Elizabeth Anne Britton, daughter of Forbes Britton, a state senator and friend of Sam Houston. Now we have his personal story, but this is Texas and in Texas nothing is simple, particularly politics. Davis was a Whig until the mid-1850s. OK, who were the Whigs? They were a major political party that was very active from 1834 to 1854. They were originally formed in order to oppose President Andrew Jackson's policies and his desire to expand executive power. (see power hungry president's isn't exactly anything new in American history). They supported Henry Clay's "American System," and they believed in modernization, industrialization, protective tariffs, and a national bank. The fell apart by infighting over the expansion of slavery into new territories. This caused Northern "Conscience" Whigs to join the Republican Party and Southern "Cotton" Whigs to join other factions, such as the fledgling democratic party and some joined the “Know-Nothing” party. In 1855 after the Whigs fell apart, Davis joined the Democratic party. In 1861 even though the Texas democratic party was a strong advocate for secession and were pro-slavery, Davis supported Sam Houston and opposed secession. He ran unsuccessfully to become a delegate to the Secession Convention. Once Texas voted to leave and announced it was seceding from the union, Davis refused to take the oath of loyalty to the Confederacy, and the state vacated his judgeship on April 24. Unable to support the Confederacy in May of 1862 Davis fled Texas and travelled to New Orleans. From New Orleans along with John L. Haynes and William Alexander, he went to Washington. The men met with President Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln recommended that the three would be given help so they could provide weapons to troops that they wanted to raise. On October 26, 1862, Davis received a colonel's commission and authorization to recruit the cavalry regiment that became the First Texas Cavalry (U.S.). The First Texas saw extensive service during the war. In January of 1863 they barely escaped capture when Galveston fell to Confederates. While in Matamoros in March of 1863 Davis was captured by Confederates. He had been there attempting to take his family out of Texas and also recruit men for his unit. Needless to say, his capture caused diplomatic trouble between the Confederacy and Mexico. Finally Confederate Gen. Hamilton P. Bee in order to appease the Mexican governor Albino López released Davis. Davis crossed back into Texas and from November to December 1863 he took part in Gen. Nathaniel P. Banks's unsuccessful Rio Grande campaign. in an effort to disrupt the border trade Davis's unit marched to Rio Grande City and seized cotton and slaves. On November 4, 1864, Davis was promoted to brigadier general and for the remainder of the war commanded Gen. Joseph J. Reynolds's cavalry in the Division of Western Mississippi. On June 2, 1865, he was among those who represented Gen. Edward R. S. Canby at Gen. Edmund Kirby Smith's surrender of Confederate forces in Texas. After the war Davis participated in state politics as a Unionist and Republican. He served in the Constitutional Convention of 1866 and ran in the 1866 general election he ran unsuccessfully for the state Senate from his old district. He represented the border district and served as president of the Constitutional Convention of 1868–69. During this time, he made enemies among the white population by consistently supporting political programs that would have restricted the political rights of secessionists, expanded rights for Blacks, and divided the state. He also favored the ab initio theory, which held that all laws passed since secession were null and void. He ran for governor in the election of 1869 against Andrew J. Hamilton, another Republican, and won in a closely disputed race. His administration was a controversial one. Its program called for law and order backed by a State Police and restored militia, public schools, internal improvements, bureaus of immigration and geology, and protection of the frontier. (Sounds vaguely familiar doesn't it) All of these were the subject of strong attacks from both Democratic and Republican opponents. They added to the controversy surrounding Reconstruction in Texas. Davis ran for reelection in December 1873 and was defeated by Richard Coke by a vote of two to one. Davis did not gracefully accept defeat, and he believed that the Republican national administration was partly responsible for his loss. He refused to vacate office after losing a what he considered a fraudulent-ridden 1873 election to Democrat Richard Coke. Here's what happened. Democrat Richard Coke defeated Republican incumbent Edmund J. Davis with 100,415 votes to 52,141, a margin of over two to one. Davis, a Republican, refused to leave, citing a Texas Supreme Court ruling (the "Semicolon Court" in Ex parte Rodriguez) that declared the election unconstitutional. Davis occupied the lower floor of the Capitol with state troops, while Democratic supporters of Coke took the second floor. He asked President Ulysses S. Grant to send in federal troops to help him stay in office. Grant refused and finally on January 19, 1874, Davis resigned, allowing Coke to take office and restoring Democratic control to Texas. This signaled the official end of Radical Reconstruction in Texas and initiated a long period of Democratic dominance. From 1875 until his death Davis, contemporarily described as a "tall, gaunt, cold-eyed, rather commanding figure," headed the Republican party in Texas as chairman of the state executive committee. In 1880 he ran again for governor but was badly defeated by Oran M. Roberts. In 1882 he ran for Congress in the Tenth District against John Hancock, again unsuccessfully. He was nominated as collector of customs at Galveston in 1880 but refused the job because of his opposition to the administration of President Rutherford B. Hayes. Supporters recommended him for a cabinet position under President Chester A. Arthur, but he received no appointment. Davis died in Austin on February 7, 1883, and is buried there in the State Cemetery. This has been the Hidden History of Texas and the first in our stories of “notorious” Texas governors, Edmund J. Davis – see you next time, thanks for listening

Oct. 1, 1880, was a very big day in Portland. For the first time in the history of the city or the state, a sitting President of the United States had come to visit. President Rutherford B. Hayes had arrived in Portland the night before and was staying in the Esmond Hotel, the nicest in Portland at the time, on the corner of Morrison and Front streets. Portland was, of course, very much a frontier town in 1880, still dotted with the stumps of the trees that had been cleared to make room for it. So it can't have come as too much of a surprise to the president when, at 9:30 the next morning, a gunfight broke out directly beneath his hotel window. He was probably a little more surprised, though, when he found out who the gunfighters were: It was the president of the local synagogue — and the rabbi....

Threads From The National Tapestry: Stories From The American Civil War
About this episode: It was a Wednesday, August 11, 1880 and some 5000 Union veterans gathered at the Ohio State Fair. President Rutherford B. Hayes had just finished a speech when another was called for. The next speaker was tall, sinewy and long in the neck. His head was large and his face a regular nest of wrinkles. Often animated and mercurial in temperament, on this day, his features expressed determination - especially his mouth. “There is many a boy here today who looks on war as all glory, but boys, it is all hell…” This is the story of that speaker - one who survived charges of insanity. A man who, in the vortex of civil war, bonded with another and the two would eventually bring the Confederacy to its knees. This is the story of William Tecumseh Sherman. ----more---- Some Characters Mentioned In This Episode: Thomas Ewing Ellen Ewing Sherman Robert Anderson John Sherman Henry Halleck P. G. T.

This Day in Legal History: John Marshall Harlan DiesOn October 14, 1911, Supreme Court Justice John Marshall Harlan I died, closing the chapter on one of the Court's most powerful voices of dissent. Appointed in 1877 by President Rutherford B. Hayes, Harlan served for 34 years and left an indelible mark on constitutional law—not through majority opinions, but through unwavering dissents that often read as moral indictments of the Court's direction.Most famously, Harlan stood alone in Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), rejecting the Court's embrace of “separate but equal” and warning that the Constitution is “color-blind.” At a time when the legal system was ratifying segregation, Harlan insisted that racial classifications violated both the spirit and letter of the Fourteenth Amendment. His lone dissent—widely criticized at the time—would later become foundational to the Court's reversal in Brown v. Board of Education more than half a century later.But Harlan's commitment to constitutional principles extended beyond race. He defended civil liberties in United States v. E.C. Knight Co., supported expansive readings of the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments, and warned against unchecked corporate power. His approach was rooted in a belief that the Reconstruction Amendments were designed not just to end slavery, but to secure full legal equality.Though his views often put him in the minority, time has proven Harlan prophetic. His jurisprudence helped shift the constitutional center of gravity in the 20th century, as future courts took up the causes he championed alone. Remarkably, his grandson, John Marshall Harlan II, would go on to sit on the Court as well, carving out his own legacy in cases like Katz v. United States and Reynolds v. Sims.Justice Harlan I's death marked the loss of a constitutional conscience—one that held firm against the tide of his era. His dissents remain a blueprint for principled judging, reminding us that sometimes the most enduring legal influence comes not from prevailing, but from refusing to go along.In a massive trial that began this week in London's High Court, over 1.6 million claimants are suing several major carmakers—including Mercedes-Benz, Ford, Nissan, Renault, Peugeot, and Citroën—over allegations that they used illegal “defeat devices” to cheat diesel emissions tests. The lawsuit, one of the largest in UK legal history, follows in the wake of Volkswagen's 2015 “dieselgate” scandal and targets vehicles manufactured between 2012 and 2017.Claimants argue that these manufacturers deliberately programmed cars to meet legal nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions standards only under lab testing, while on-the-road emissions were allegedly up to 12 times higher—harming the environment and misleading consumers. They seek compensation for what they claim was a systemic, industry-wide choice to cheat rather than comply with the law.The defendants deny any wrongdoing, rejecting comparisons to VW and maintaining that emissions systems are legally and justifiably calibrated to function differently under certain conditions for technical and safety reasons. A central point of contention is whether the sample vehicles in the case contain prohibited defeat devices.The trial currently focuses on 20 vehicles, but its outcome will set a precedent for nearly 850,000 claims and influence another 800,000 similar suits against other carmakers, including Vauxhall/Opel and BMW. The court's decision on liability is expected by mid-2026, with damages to be determined separately.Carmakers accused in huge UK lawsuits of cheating diesel emissions tests | ReutersVisa and Mastercard have agreed to a $199.5 million settlement to resolve a class action brought by merchants who alleged the companies colluded to shift fraud-related costs onto businesses. Filed in federal court in Brooklyn, the settlement—still awaiting judicial approval—stems from a lawsuit first initiated in 2016, challenging rule changes that made merchants liable for chargebacks when they hadn't upgraded to chip-enabled point-of-sale systems.The plaintiffs argued this policy shift violated antitrust laws, claiming Visa and Mastercard moved in parallel to implement changes that benefited the networks while leaving merchants exposed to fraud losses without any offsetting fee reductions. According to the proposed agreement, Visa will pay $119.7 million and Mastercard will contribute $79.8 million. Discover and American Express, also named in the litigation, previously agreed to a $32.2 million settlement.While all four companies deny wrongdoing, plaintiffs' lawyers praised the deal, saying it recovers around 13% of the best-case damages scenario and over half of a more conservative estimate. Mastercard stated the settlement supports its broader efforts to increase security through technological upgrades, while Visa and the plaintiffs' counsel did not comment.This case is separate from the larger $5 billion settlement Visa and Mastercard reached in 2019 over allegations of fixing credit and debit card fees.Visa, Mastercard agree to $199.5 million settlement in merchants' class action | ReutersFederal courts in California and Alabama recently fined two attorneys thousands of dollars for submitting legal filings that contained fake case citations generated by AI. These sanctions highlight a persistent problem: despite repeated warnings, some lawyers continue to rely uncritically on generative AI tools that produce fictitious case law, a phenomenon known as “hallucination.” Judges in both cases criticized the attorneys for failing to verify the AI-generated content, calling the misconduct more serious than simple oversight.In Alabama, Judge Terry F. Moorer imposed a $5,000 sanction on James A. Johnson, a court-appointed criminal defense attorney, who filed a motion containing fabricated citations. The judge noted that Johnson used a Microsoft Word plugin called Ghostwriter Legal and submitted the motion during a holiday weekend while caring for a relative, but emphasized that such explanations do not excuse the lack of basic diligence. Johnson must now disclose the sanctions order in all cases he handles for the next year, and his client—visibly upset in court—requested new counsel, delaying the case.In California, Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín fined attorney Edward A. Quesada $1,000 after his civil filing contained at least three false citations. Quesada admitted he had run out of time and may have accidentally copied one fake citation from an AI-generated web summary. He was also ordered to complete a CLE course on responsible AI use, with the judge citing his failure to stay informed about relevant legal technologies as a violation of professional conduct rules.Fake AI Citations Produce Fines for California, Alabama LawyersIn my column for Bloomberg this week, I examine the property rights implications at the heart of Pung v. Isabella County, a case the US Supreme Court has agreed to hear. I argue that when the government seizes and sells property for unpaid taxes, “just compensation” shouldn't be defined by whatever price the property fetches at a government-run auction. That process—entirely designed and controlled by local officials—often prioritizes administrative efficiency over fair market value, turning tax sales into what I describe as “clearance rack” events.The problem is structural. Local treasurers are incentivized to close the books quickly rather than ensure former owners recover equity. That means the government may undersell a home, pay itself the back taxes, and call it a day—leaving the former owner uncompensated for the true value of what they lost. Worse, when courts treat the auction price as constitutionally adequate, they allow the taker to set the value of what it took.I draw a comparison to Tyler v. Hennepin County, where the Court ruled the government can't pocket surplus proceeds from a tax sale. Pung asks the natural follow-up: what rules apply when determining how much surplus exists? If courts accept fire-sale auction prices as “just compensation,” they effectively endorse an end-run around the Fifth Amendment.As a compromise, I propose a clear rule: auction prices should only be presumed fair if they fall within 10% of an appraised value. Outside that range, the burden should shift to the government to prove the sale was legitimate. After all, if local governments want the legitimacy of a market sale, they need to run a sale that looks like one. Otherwise, taxpayers are left holding the bag—punished not for failing to pay taxes, but for the government's indifference to recovering real value from their property. This is a public episode.

Here's what Senate historian Don Ritchie once told C-SPAN: "I was present in 1976 when we actually opened a safe that was essentially a time capsule that had given to the government in 1876. And President Ford came to the Capitol just before the Bicentennial, and opened the safe, we had no idea what was inside, there were pictures of Rutherford B. Hayes and his wife and other items that were donated at the time of the first centennial." Which other presidents have included pictures of themselves in time capsules? And what else have they put in? Find out in C-SPAN's "The Weekly."

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.

In Episode 406 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with renowned geopolitical analyst and forecaster George Friedman about the pivotal institutional and socioeconomic cycles that shape historical events—and how their convergence is driving the economic and political crises of the 2020s. George and Demetri examine critical turning points in American history, including Andrew Jackson's abolition of the Second Bank of the United States (which financed westward expansion), the presidency of Rutherford B. Hayes (and the Long Depression), the consumer-driven growth wave following FDR's 1930s reforms, and the neoliberal era sparked by the Reagan Revolution. In the second hour, Friedman and Kofinas apply this framework to the era we are living in today, which according to George, is the first time in American history that both the 80-year institutional cycle and 50-year socioeconomic cycle are occurring concurrently. They discuss how (and why) so-called “woke ideology” and a sclerotic and ineffective bureaucracy are symptoms of the end of the institutional cycle and why the economic policies of this new era will lead to more capital investment and a revitalization of the American economy. Lastly, George provides listeners with a roadmap for geopolitical events in the 21st century that includes reconciliation with Putin's Russia, a new paradigm of peace in the middle east, and a long and challenging period of economic weakness in China that will consume the energies of the Chinese communist party and challenge the PRC's ability to assert itself on the global stage for at least the next several decades.

Samuel Tilden won the popular vote but lost the Presidency to Rutherford B. Hayes in the disputed electoral college. That is is his footnote in history. He's also known for taking down Boss Tweed. Though his actual role is disputed by people at the time. What's less known about him is the source of the family money. His family sold patent medicines. Frankly it was cannabis, and at a strength of about 10 times todays routine variety. We link politics, corruption, reform and strong medicine all together in our next episode. CANNABIS AND SAMUEL J. TILDEN coming up soon. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Learn how the mode of selecting the President was the result of a hard fought and contentious Constitutional Convention debate, resulting in the adoption of Article II, Section 1 of the United States Constitution. Review that the idea of a popular, nationwide election was rejected because, among other things, there were serious concerns that the public would not have sufficient information, and the public would be swayed by bias to local candidates, passion, and celebrity. Understand that the idea of a Congressional election of the President was rejected because, among other things, of grave concerns about the independence of the President, as well as formation of cabals and corruption. The electoral college was intended to mediate the passions of the people as well as the dangers of elections by Congress by creating an independent body, whose sole function was to select the best candidate. Review how electors are chosen is determined by the Legislature of each state. Each State has the number of electors equal to the number of representatives in the House of Representatives and Senators. Learn the mistakes the Founding Fathers made in connection with the Presidential Election (for example, having the runner-up become Vice President) - and how paralyzed the nation during the election of 1800. The President and Vice President now run as a slate, and electors cast one vote for each. A person receiving an outright majority of electors becomes President and Vice President respectively. Otherwise, the House of Representatives chooses the President, selecting from the top three vote getters. Each State has one vote, chosen by a majority of its representatives. A similar process works for the Vice President, but he or she is chosen by the Senate out of the top two vote getters. Originally, most electors were chosen directly by the legislatures of the States. Over time, States determined to select their electors by popular election, with 48 of the 50 States choosing a winner takes all system.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageWhat if the fate of a nation hinged on a single election? 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?

Edward Bok nació en el 1863. Cuando era adolescente trabajaba como reportero en el periódico The Brooklyn Eagle. Un día se le asignó tomar notas de los discursos del general Ulises Grant y del presidente Rutherford B. Hayes, que hablarían en la ciudad. En aquellos tiempos, era común que los reporteros tomaran vino mientras trabajaban. Este era el primer trabajo que se le asignaba a Bok y sabía que tendría que tomar una decisión. Por lo tanto, le pidió a uno de los meseros: «Por favor, quite mis vasos de vino: no quiero beber». Edward Bok comenzó a tomar nota del discurso del general Grant. No le resultaba difícil, pues el general pronunciaba sus palabras con lentitud; en cambio, el presidente Hayes hablaba tan deprisa que apenas podía seguirlo. Al terminar la reunión, Edward fue a ver al presidente y le contó su dificultad. El presidente lo miró con curiosidad y le dijo que esperara algunos minutos. Al cabo de unos quince minutos, el presidente se acercó a Edward y le preguntó: —Dime, hijo mío, ¿por qué pediste que retiraran los vasos de vino de tu mesa? Edward se sorprendió por la pregunta, pero decidió ser honesto. —Lo hice, señor presidente, porque deseaba mantener mi mente clara. Hace tiempo decidí ser abstemio y no vi razón para hacer una excepción esta noche —respondió Edward sinceramente al presidente. Impresionado por su integridad, el presidente invitó a Edward a subir a su carruaje y, en el camino, le entregó una copia de su discurso. Como resultado, el periódico de Edward Bok fue el único que publicó el discurso completo del presidente. Al día siguiente, Edward recibió una nota del presidente que decía: «Le he contado a mi esposa lo que usted me dijo en la cena. Ella escuchó con gran interés y se une a mí para solicitarle que nos visite esta noche a las ocho y media». Al igual que en el caso de Edward Bok, nuestras elecciones tienen un impacto en nuestro futuro. ¿Qué habría sucedido si Edward hubiera bebido vino esa noche? Y tú, en una situación similar, ¿tendrías la valentía de mantener tus convicciones? Dios te dé la fortaleza para hacerlo cuando se presente la oportunidad.

This week on The Whiskey Trip Podcast, Big Chief takes listeners on a ride back to Austin, Texas and chats with Laura Papa, Director of Sales, and Marie Perez, Distiller, from Fierce Whiskers Distillery. Laura and Marie take the Big Man through the name and history of this grain to glass craft distillery. From a quote of Rutherford B. Hayes, “Austin is an inconsiderable village with Large Expectations…full of discharged ‘Rangers'…costumes of every variety. … Fierce Whiskers, gaming and drinking very abounding in all quarters” came their name that speaks truth to Austin. This beautiful Texas Distillery has embraced Austin's pioneer spirit and taken the steps to do it right with a beautiful Vendome Still and a Kentucky Style Rick House right in the heart of Austin. They start the show with their standard Texas Rye Whiskey that has a mash-bill of 70% rye, 20% wheat, 10% malted barely. With hints of Earl Gray tea it's a beautiful sipper. They move on to one of their special releases, HAM CHO'I Straight Bourbon Whiskey finished in Cabernet Casks. They finish the first half with a Smoke & Mash Collaboration that was smoked at Snow's BBQ. In the second half they start with Single Barrel Rye which was released to support a local charity, which highlights the distillery's commitment to community. They finish the show with a celebration expression, Summer Heat that's 109 proof to match the Austin summer heat. This ride on The Whiskey Trip showcases women in whiskey and their amazing contributions in the industry. Cheers!
This Day in Legal History: Women Admitted to Practice Before Supreme CourtOn February 15, 1879, a landmark moment unfolded in the annals of American legal history as President Rutherford B. Hayes signed groundbreaking legislation that fundamentally transformed the legal profession in the United States. This legislation, a pivotal stride towards gender equality, granted women the right to practice law before the United States Supreme Court, a privilege that had been exclusively reserved for men until that point. The enactment of this law not only marked a significant departure from longstanding gender-based restrictions but also symbolized a crucial step toward dismantling the barriers faced by women in the legal field.The first to avail of this newfound right was Belva Lockwood, an attorney who had tirelessly advocated for the inclusion of women in the legal profession. Lockwood's admission to the Supreme Court bar on March 3, 1879, barely two weeks after the law's enactment, underscored the immediate impact of the legislation. Her journey to this historic achievement was fraught with challenges, as she had previously been denied the opportunity to present before the Supreme Court solely on the basis of her gender. Lockwood's perseverance and her eventual triumph served as a beacon of inspiration for countless women aspiring to legal careers.The legislation's passage and Lockwood's subsequent admission into the Supreme Court bar did more than just allow women to practice law at the highest court in the land; it challenged the prevailing norms and attitudes towards women's roles in both the legal profession and society at large. This pivotal event in legal history not only broadened the horizons for women within the legal field but also contributed to the gradual shifting of societal perceptions regarding women's capabilities and rights. The courage and determination of those who fought for this change laid the groundwork for future generations of women lawyers, who would continue to break barriers and shape the legal landscape.While the legislative victory in 1879 marked a monumental step forward for women in the legal profession, the fight for gender equality within the field is far from over. Despite significant progress, disparities persist in representation, advancement, and pay. For instance, a report by the American Bar Association in 2021 highlighted that although women make up approximately 50% of law school graduates, they represent only about 23% of partners in law firms across the United States. This statistic underscores the ongoing challenges women face in achieving equal standing and opportunities within the legal profession. The journey that began with pioneers like Belva Lockwood continues today, as efforts to dismantle systemic barriers and foster a more inclusive legal landscape carry on. The strides made thus far serve as both a testament to the progress achieved and a reminder of the work that remains to be done.The U.S. House of Representatives recently faced a setback in efforts to adjust the state-and-local tax (SALT) deduction cap, particularly impacting states like New York and California. A proposal by Representative Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.) to increase the SALT cap to $20,000 for married couples filing jointly was defeated in a test vote, highlighting the ongoing political struggle over this issue. The SALT cap, introduced in the GOP's 2017 tax law, limits deductions to $10,000, affecting taxpayers in high-tax states—predominantly Democratic, or "blue," states—more severely than those in lower-tax, or "red," states. This measure has been contentious, with Democrats and some Republicans from high-tax states pushing for an increase, arguing that the cap disproportionately burdens their constituents. Despite the bill's failure, New York Republicans vow to continue their efforts to amend the SALT cap, signaling an ongoing debate over tax policy that intersects with partisan and state interests.SALT Cap Bill Fails Test Vote in House in Blow to N.Y. GOP (1)SpaceX is in the process of relocating its business incorporation from Delaware to Texas, as indicated by a recent filing with the Texas Secretary of State. This move by Elon Musk follows a similar trend among his companies, particularly after a Delaware judge nullified Musk's $56 billion pay package at Tesla Inc. earlier in the year. Musk, advocating for the shift, has publicly encouraged other companies to consider leaving Delaware for states like Texas, which he views as more favorable. Notably, SpaceX already has significant operations in Texas, including a testing facility, a satellite manufacturing plant, and a rocket production site, reinforcing the state's appeal to Musk and his ventures. The relocation of SpaceX's incorporation to Texas is seen as a major win for the state, aligning with its strategy to attract businesses with low taxes and minimal regulation. This decision also reflects Musk's broader strategy of moving his companies away from Delaware, following legal challenges there, including the high-profile attempt to purchase Twitter Inc., which he later renamed X and moved to Nevada.SpaceX Seeks to Move Incorporation to Texas From Delaware (1)Over 70% of federal judges have enrolled in a U.S. Marshals Service program that supplies electronic security systems for their homes, responding to a significant rise in threats against the judiciary. Ron Davis, the director of the U.S. Marshals Service, highlighted the urgency of these threats during a Judiciary Committee hearing, emphasizing the risk they pose to democracy. This increase in threats, notably spiking to 457 in fiscal year 2023 from 224 in fiscal 2021, coincides with the contentious period following the 2020 presidential election and involves serious incidents, including attempts against judges and Supreme Court justices. The security program, in place since 2005, has faced criticism for offering outdated equipment, prompting efforts to modernize and enhance the protection offered to judges amidst growing concerns for their safety.Most federal judges opt into US Marshals' home security program | ReutersSpecial Counsel Jack Smith has urged the U.S. Supreme Court to dismiss Donald Trump's request to delay his trial over charges related to efforts to overturn the 2020 election loss, emphasizing the public interest in proceeding to trial promptly, especially given the defendant's former presidential status. The appeal follows a decision by a D.C. Circuit panel that rejected Trump's claim to presidential immunity from prosecution, with Smith advocating for a swift resolution or a fast-tracked hearing by the Supreme Court. Trump's legal team seeks to halt trial proceedings while pursuing further appeals, a move Smith argues would unnecessarily delay the trial. The case touches on profound allegations of Trump attempting to subvert the electoral process and undermine democratic transition, amidst broader claims of immunity extending beyond his presidency.Special counsel urges US Supreme Court to rebuff Trump in immunity fight | ReutersThe U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has initiated legal action against the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) over a significant tax debt amounting to approximately $1.45 billion, attributed to the defunct Silicon Valley Bank (SVB). The lawsuit demands a judicial review to decide the extent of the FDIC's obligation to settle the tax debt, following the FDIC's assumption of control over SVB's assets in March 2023 and its subsequent rejection of the IRS's tax claim. The dispute centers on the IRS's estimation of taxes due from SVB for the period between 2020 and 2023, a figure that is under reassessment due to some previously accounted employment taxes having been paid. This legal battle unfolds against the backdrop of SVB's collapse in March 2023, marking one of the largest bank failures in U.S. history, which had profound impacts on the regional banking sector and tech startups reliant on SVB's financial services.IRS sues FDIC over Silicon Valley Bank's $1.4 billion tax debt | Reuters Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe
It's February 4th. This day in 1877, a hastily assembled commission is meeting to try and sort out the very messy aftermath of the previous fall's election between Samuel Tilden and Rutherford B. Hayes. Hayes won the popular vote, but in the end, they would hand the election to Hayes after a bargain with southerners that effectively ended reconstruction. Jody, Niki, and Kellie discuss why the 1876 election was so close, how a few rogue states were able to hold the process hostage — and what the bargain meant for the promise of reconstruction in the South.

OCT. 1, 1880, WAS a very big day in Portland. For the first time in the history of the city or the state, a sitting President of the United States had come to visit. President Rutherford B. Hayes had arrived in Portland the night before and was staying in the Esmond Hotel, the nicest in Portland at the time, on the corner of Morrison and Front streets. Portland was, of course, very much a frontier town in 1880, still dotted with the stumps of the trees that had been cleared to make room for it. So it can't have come as too much of a surprise to the president when, at 9:30 the next morning, a gunfight broke out directly beneath his hotel window. He was probably a little more surprised, though, when he found out who the gunfighters were: It was the president of the local synagogue — and the rabbi.

In this weeks episode our host Jonathan Aymin sits down with wedding venue owner Sarah Bolte to discuss how she and her family have used weddings as a means to diversity their farming operation, how they use agritourism as a way to build community and educated families, and how her career and background in fundraising has helped her gain skills she uses as part of her venue sales processes. About Our Guest: Sarah Bolte and her husband John are business partners, dreamers and the hands and hearts behind Arlington Acres. Arlington Acres is set on the grounds of a working family farm in northwest Ohio just outside of Tiffin, Ohio. Their farm produces pumpkins, corn, soybeans, wheat, sunflowers and honey. The Barn at Arlington Acres was originally built by Civil War veteran Arlington Dunn in the late 1800's as he prepared to build his farmstead. There is an archive on the farm's namesake at the Rutherford B. Hayes Museum and Presidential Library in Fremont, Ohio. The property and the farm were purchased by their family from the Dunn family in the 1970's and when they needed a name for the barn it seemed only fitting to name it after Arlington Dunn the original owner of this beautiful farm. The foundations of the barn were first laid by the namesake Arlington Dunn in the late 1860s where it stood for several years and then was used as housing for the building crew and farm hands as they built Arlington's beautiful home on the property. The lumber used for the barn and home is all native timber (butternut, walnut, and cherry) from the farm. In 2019, John and Sarah set about restoring the barn to it's former glory and updating it to become a wedding venue. The additions included re-siding, adding windows, restrooms, getting ready suites, a kitchen and patio. In 2022 Arlington Acres was awarded Heritage Ohio's Historic Farmstead of the Year Award for their restoration efforts. The farm is located just outside of Tiffin and is about 90 minutes from Cleveland and Columbus, 60 minutes from Toledo, and only 30 minutes from Findlay, Fremont and Bucyrus.

As a special for the Presidents Day Holiday in the US, we interviewed Dustin McLochlin, PhD of the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Library & Museums. Brother Rud is frequently maligned in popular imagination (if he's remembered at all). Tagged unfairly with nicknames like "His Fraudulency" or "Rutherfraud" by detractors, he has earned a reputation as a self-interested, lazy president who made a crooked deal to end Reconstruction in exchange for the Presidency. In reality, he was a highly principled and pragmatic leader who did his best to help unite a country where the scars of the Civil War were still very fresh. His Presidency encountered many controversial situations with echoes that still reverberate in contemporary America, like the legitimacy of elections, government intervention in labor disputes, and political enfranchisement. This episode provides a fascinating and thorough look at the life and career of our Brother, President Rutherford B. Hayes. The Shoutout goes to Palacky Lodge #630 in Illinois for their remarkable activity and community engagement. In the Odd Podge, Brother Ainslie talks about his latest artistic project, Brother Toby shares his excitement at the return of the Northwest Odd Fellow and Rebekah Association Meeting, Brother Mike shares a little history of Kanawha Lodge #25 on the occasion of it's 175th Anniversary, and Dustin talks a little bit about some of the firsts that Brother Rud established as President.

Exactly 742 days ago, Vice President Mike Pence, while standing before a joint session of Congress, accepted the Electoral College votes for the 2020 election, and in so doing, formalized Joe Biden's victory over Donald Trump. At the time, both President Trump and a large contingent of Republicans in general were very opposed to that decision because they believed that Pence actually had the authority to decide whether or not to accept the officially certified votes. On the surface, it just means that the vice president, who is also the president of the Senate, is the one to open the votes that come in from the electoral college delegates in each state. But what happens if a state sends in more than one slate of electors? Well, the answer to that lies in the Electoral Count Act. This particular law was put into place following the 1876 presidential election between Rutherford B. Hayes and Sam Tilden. What happened in that race (similar to the race in 2020) was that four states—Oregon, Louisiana, Florida, and South Carolina—submitted two slates of electors to Washington, D.C. Basically, there were disputes between the two parties over who had actually won the race, and so, they sent in two slates of electors. ⭕️ Sign up for our NEWSLETTER and stay in touch
