Harding Memorial, Marion, Ohio
I seen Warren Harding eatin’ chili and fries at a Wendy’s in Fresno last April…
A President of the United States being unfaithful to his wife? Who would ever believe such a thing?
Every presidential history account I’ve read has been compiled by a leftist, and they almost ALL paint Pres. Harding as one of the worst presidents in history. So I take it with a grain of salt.
The same presidential history book that I have absolutely trashes President Reagan, so I know it’s mostly garbage.
The only scandals our one-party press sees are Republican scandals, usually mis-represented.
So he might still be alive !
One wonders when Carter will pass away. It wouldn’t surprise me if they are holding him on ice until when they need a push in the polls.
If anyone is interested in a history podcast episode defending Harding and saying that he may have been one of the best US Presidents....
Harding had at least one mistress and at least one illegitimate child, but I doubt girlfriends traveled with him and his wife.
He wasn't Jack Kennedy for Pete's sake.
Most recent Presidents haven't given away their wealth; Carter spent time and money on Habitat for Humanity, and of course Trump has a reputation for helping people one-on-one, plus taking over and funding the Central Park renovation.
Oh, wait a minute...
Those kinds of tunnels were everywhere in major cities during prohibition. However, they weren’t just suddenly dug because people needed a secret way to get to the speakeasy. They already existed, because they were used to deliver coal to the basements of various businesses in the area from a central dropoff location. They just repurposed the existing coal tunnels to use as hidden entrances.
Both Teapot Dome and Watergate were nothing compared to the inherent corruption seen in the late 20th century of Clinton and Biden regimes. In both cases, neither Harding nor Nixon were directly involved, neither did either benefit or were enriched by the "scandal."
But it helps leftists keep people's attention focused elsewhere.
Harding's home in Marion, Ohio. The home is filled with original artifacts from the time Harding lived there. The street outside has changed little since 1920, when Harding campaigned for president from his front porch.
Since freedom impelled, and independence inspired, and nationality exalted, a world supergovernment is contrary to everything we cherish and can have no sanction by our Republic. This is not selfishness, it is sanctity. It is not aloofness, it is security. It is not suspicion of others, it is patriotic adherence to the things which made us what we are.
Madame Never President Hillary claims he committed suicide.
“A gregarious man who loved to smoke, drink, philander and travel...”
Good to know politicians haven’t changed any.
Nothing new under the sun.
He’s actually hanging out with the space aliens at the grassy knoll waiting for the bomb to go off at the book depository, just before the plane flies into to it, so that it looks like a plane did it, rather than a bomb blowing up the book depository... Seriously!
Harding's swarthy good looks, support for anti-lynching legislation, and opposition to harsh segregation measures helped inspire suspicion that he had a "touch of the tar brush" in his ancestry, as was politely said in that era. Harding himself did not know. Indirect Democratic attacks on Harding based on such claims were unheard by most voters and usually ignored or dismissed outside of Democrat inclined Klan circles. The suspicion though inspired stronger black support for Harding.
Most of Harding's cabinet appointees were successful, such as Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover and Secretary of Treasury Andrew Mellon, although several major appointees were corrupt. Personally honest, but with a relaxed and masculine manner that suggested otherwise, Harding nevertheless dealt vigorously with corruption in his administration when it came to his attention. He is thought to have been on the cusp of sacking several crooked members of his administration when he died. As with Bill and Hillary Clinton decades later, Harding's ambitious and demanding wife Florence tended to generate sympathy and understanding for Harding when his extramarital affairs eventually became known.
The revelation of corruption in parts of the Harding administration helped to inspire suspicions that he had been murdered. In truth, Harding seems to have been suffering from advanced heart disease when he died, perhaps with food poisoning as a precipitating cause. Had Harding lived, he would have cleaned house and been well-remembered for doing so.
This just in: Francisco Franco is still dead!
