It was 50 years ago that Tricia Nixon, daughter of President Richard Nixon and First Lady Pat Nixon, was married to Edward F. Cox in the White House Rose Garden with the nation enjoying the celebration through numerous television specials. On their anniversary Saturday, the couple, along with their son, Christopher Nixon Cox, attended an outdoor rose garden party at the Nixon Presidential Library & Museum in Yorba Linda with frontline workers, first responders and teachers as their guests. The couple posed for photographs in the library’s popular rose garden, standing in the same gazebo in which they were married...

Ditching Amazon Prime and looking for alternative websites to purchase things. For example, I now get most of my clothing directly from LL Bean. What is a good place to buy books online? I still buy a lot of books. An obvious choice is Barnes & Noble but looking to see if there are any other book-buying websites I should be aware of.

It broke my heart to hear about Dr. Seuss Enterprises’ decision to stop printing some of his classic children’s books at the behest of outraged leftists. It was even more horrifying to witness so many people in power, from President Joe Biden to the executives at eBay, willingly comply with a small mob’s demands. Maybe it is easy to obliterate something valuable when you have never lived without it before.The first time I read Dr. Seuss’s books was when I was pregnant with my son. Ever since I knew his existence, I began to read to him every night. I...

The Washington Post has published an op-ed arguing that President Donald Trump “must never have” a presidential library. The paper, whose motto is “Democracy dies in darkness,” presented an argument Thursday by “art and architecture critic” Philip Kennicott about why the history of the Trump administration should, in fact, be shrouded in darkness. Kennicott wrote: “Trump must never have an official presidential library, and Congress should move quickly to make sure he never will.” He argued that Trump cannot be trusted to handle documents relating to his presidency, because he “mixed public and private interests.” He adds that Trump must...

Greetings, The appalling events that unfolded in our nation’s capital on Wednesday have unleashed a host of mixed emotions in our country. The turbulence was the polar opposite of legitimate peaceful protest. Events on the national stage can often seem very distant from our day-to-day lives, but this challenge to our democracy brought home the importance of civil discourse. As your Public Library, we have the capability and capacity to be one of the places that bring people together. Libraries unite, not divide. We will continue to seek out ways to help right here in St. Joseph County. We’re one...

I suspected this sort of thing was going happen after Election Day, especially if Biden "won". I bet there will be more of this around the country now. (Not that I'm against libraries being open but this just seems blatantly political to me). I got this email, its not posted on their website yet: Dear friends, I am delighted to share that the Jefferson County Library will be re-opening for limited in-library public access beginning Thursday, November 12 at noon. Thank you to our Board of Trustees, staff, and entire community for your support and patience as we have worked...

I had the bright idea of going to the library on Sunday to get a few books. BAD IDEA. I walk in and there is this woman sitting at a plastic fold out table. Granted I have the damn mask on but it is not over my nose. I am walking past the table and this bit*& says, PUT YOUR MASK OVER YOUR NOSE SIR! SIR OVER THE NOSE! I gave her the dirtiest look and walk away. This is the second time this has happened to me. At a local taco place another witch motioned with her hand for...

Win or lose on Nov. 3, 2020, Donald Trump can set an excellent example by letting the National Archives retain and later provide access to all records created or received during his tenure as president of the United States. Thereafter, citizens and scholars can study these presidential records. After all, they are our property, and not that of any single president. Unlike all presidents in office from 1955 onwards (when the Presidential Libraries Act was signed into law), Donald Trump entered the White House with a vast fortune, and a track record promoting and developing business ventures inside and outside...

WOODLAWN - Dozens of members of a coalition fighting for affordable housing protections in the neighborhoods surrounding the future Obama Presidential Center set up a “tent city” Thursday in a city-owned, vacant lot, warning that’s what the city could look like if people are displaced. Members of the Obama CBA Coalition set up for the day in Woodlawn to outline their demands. Their expansive community benefits agreement, drafted to prevent displacement in advance of the Obama Presidential Center’s planned construction in Jackson Park, has stalled in City Council for nearly a year. Organizers are demanding changes to the scaled-back protections...

Judicial Watch today announced that the National Security Council (NSC) on May 23, 2017, informed it by letter that the materials regarding the unmasking by Obama National Security Advisor Susan Rice of “the identities of any U.S. citizens associated with the Trump presidential campaign or transition team” have been removed to the Obama Library..... The agency also informed Judicial Watch that it would not turn over communications with any Intelligence Community member or agency concerning the alleged Russian involvement in the 2016 presidential election; the hacking of DNC computers; or the suspected communications between Russia and Trump campaign/transition officials. Specifically,...

SUBTITLE: Lawmakers in Missouri and Tennessee have introduced bills that could put librarians in prison for hosting Drag Queen Story Hour events at public libraries. On Monday afternoon, nearly 100 kindergarten students crowded into the Tompkins Square Library in New York City’s trendy East Village neighborhood as two glamorous drag queens read them children’s books during a Drag Queen Story Hour event. Jackie Cox and Jan — two contestants from the upcoming season of VH1’s hit show “RuPaul’s Drag Race” — fielded questions such as “Are you a boy or a girl?” and “Why does your voice sound like that?”...

Activists in Rye, New York have successfully averted a showing of “drag queen story hour” in their community library, but the library is pushing back with an LGBT re-education program meant to indoctrinate young minds into the perverted lifestyle... ...The proposed story hour event was geared toward children aged 3-8 years old and was billed as a teaching experience to “celebrate difference, learn empathy, and create crafts” and “celebrate diversity while building confidence in self-expression.”

Now firmly established in many public libraries across the nation, drag queen story hour is branching out to new territory: public school. “In an effort to continue to strengthen and enhance inclusiveness and diversity in our school, the first grade will be taking part in a ‘Drag Queen Story Hour!'” the notification read. Apparently, this is not the first time a drag queen has visited the school to read to young children. The upcoming drag queen visit, slated for Feb. 24, will only be the latest in a series of drag queen interactions that has seemingly taken place over “years.”

The Albuquerque and Bernalillo County Public Libraries, like many other public libraries around the country, directly sponsor Drag Queen Story Hours, where male adult entertainers put on nightclub entertainment for children. In library drag performances in states like Washington, children have been pictured rolling around on the performer as he lay on the floor, and in another, a performer put on a strip act that revealed his racy bodysuit. Many male drag performers have social media accounts that are even more explicit than their performances. If their younger audiences look them up, they may well get an eyeful of age-inappropriate...

Initially, Obama Foundation officials ambitiously predicted they would break ground on the construction in 2018 and said they expected the center to open in 2021. Then they had to push that timeline back. Most recently, the foundation has hesitated to publicly release an updated timeline.

SPOKANE, Washington, December 16, 2019 (LifeSiteNews) – A judge has dismissed charges against a Christian pastor in Washington who was arrested after trying to enter a public library in which a Drag Queen Story Hour event was taking place, though local prosecutors plan to try again against Afshin Yaghtin. Yaghtin, who preaches at Spokane’s New Covenant Church, attempted to enter South Hill Public Library on June 15 to pray for the children attending a Drag Queen Story Hour event that day. 500 Mom Strong founder Anna Bohach witnessed police intercept and arrest him. The Washington Times reported that Yaghtin was...
