OMG a Schuyler Colfax joke! Never thought I'd see one of those.
Why? I went to Schuyler-Colfax Junior High School. Notice the hyphen. The school is named not for him (the only US Vice President to have a (failed) impeachment vote), but for the Schuyler-Colfax House, a colonial "mansion" in my home town. It was built in 1695, and later named for the marriage of a cousin of 🎶The Schuyler Sisters🎶 to William Colfax, commander of George Washington's guards. The later VP and stylish beard owner was their grandson.

the 19th century in america is appealing to me partially because of how layered everything is, so when reading wikipedia, i see the infobox and think "schuyler colfax? no, he can't be related to that schuyler...wilmot? of the wilmot proviso? certainly is...and milligan, of ex parte milligan? the very one!"

2 and a half weeks until JC passes Cactus Jack!
It took me a little bit to figure out what you were referencing, but yes, Jimmy Carter will pass John Nance Garner as the longest-living President or Vice President in American history on September 18th. And if he is still with us on October 1st, Carter will be the first President or Vice President in American history to celebrate their 99th birthday.
And since I'm a huge dork who finds this stuff interesting, here's the big, complete list of longest-living to shortest-living Presidents and Vice Presidents in American history: (Presidents are in bold text, Vice Presidents are in italics, and those who served as both POTUS and VP are in bold italics.)

On March 3, 1873 Congress passed the Comstock Act. Ladies reblog because now we can share information about birth control and sexual health.
https://www.history.com/news/comstock-act-1873-obscenity-contraception-mail
How an Anti-Obscenity Crusader Policed America's Mail for Decades
Anthony Comstock convinced Congress that US mail was filled with filth. After they passed the Comstock Act, he became a fervent one-man censor.
Anthony Comstock knew obscenity when he saw it, and the famous anti-vice crusader saw it everywhere. From the 1870s into the early 20th century, the dry goods salesman-turned-self-appointed-censor was a man on a mission—to impose his sense of morality on what Americans read, saw and even did in their own bedrooms. 
Though not an elected legislator, the devout Protestant, who was appalled by the sexual permissiveness he witnessed in New York City, largely rewrote federal postal laws "to prevent the mails from being used to corrupt the public morals." And he got a compliant Congress to pass them. Some historians suggest that the politicians were looking for an issue that would divert public attention from the Credit Mobilier scandal, in which many of them were involved.
While there were already laws on the books against obscenity, Comstock managed to expand the scope of “obscene, lewd or lascivious” material to include information on birth control and abortion. 
The post office made him a special agent, with the power to conduct raids and arrest suspected violators. He exercised that authority with gusto for the next 42 years, claiming credit for nearly 4,000 convictions, 160 tons of destroyed books and other materials and at least 15 suspects driven to suicide. 
Up to his death in 1915, Comstock was admired in some quarters for his moral rectitude—and ridiculed in others as a prig and a busybody. Today, he may seem like a relic of the Victorian Age, but his laws affected American life for decades and his spirit lives on in the never-ending battles over censorship, free speech, the right to privacy and the proper role of government in citizens’ lives.
Comstock’s ‘Chamber of Horrors’
In 1872, Comstock began visiting Washington, D.C. to lobby lawmakers for stricter vice laws. In one celebrated show-and-tell presentation in Vice President Schuyler Colfax’s office, he wowed Senators with a selection of dirty books, pornographic playing cards and contraceptive devices. He referred to the collection as his “Chamber of Horrors.” 
Comstock had already made a name for himself in New York as the leader of the YMCA’s Committee for the Suppression of Vice. He used his position to confiscate and destroy books and other materials he believed could corrupt the morals of young men. The law that allowed him to carry out his raids, New York’s Obscene Literature Act of 1868, also gave him a cut of any fines.
But Comstock had grander ambitions—not just to clean up New York, but the entire country. 
In 1873, he got his way when Congress passed An Act for the Suppression of Trade in, and Circulation of, Obscene Literature and Articles of Immoral Use. It became commonly known as the Comstock Act. 
Days after the law passed, the post office gave him the authority to enforce his own rules. While other obscenity laws allowed Comstock to conduct raids on booksellers and publishers and harass art gallery owners with nude paintings on exhibit, the Comstock laws technically required that the material pass through the mail before he could take action.
Rather than wait for that to happen, Comstock would send away for materials on contraception and other forbidden topics using assumed names. “In some cases, he concocted entire families, individuals sharing a last name, living in the same town,” Amy Sohn reports her 2021 book about Comstock, The Man Who Hated Women: Sex, Censorship and Civil Liberties in the Gilded Age. When the packages arrived, he pounced.
Tumblr media
The federal Comstock laws weren’t universally loved, and there were numerous attempts to repeal them on the federal level. Many state legislatures embraced them with enthusiasm, however, and more than half the states enacted their own Comstock laws in succeeding years. Some were harsher than the federal original. 
Meanwhile, legislators continued to tinker with the 1873 law. In 1908, for example, it banned as “indecent” any material that might “incite arson, murder or assassination.” This was an era when concern over anarchism and socialism ran high and, as Sohn notes, Comstock’s law was “evolving to meet the times.” 
Tumblr media
Comstock’s attacks on contraception happened to coincide with the growing women’s rights movement, for which family planning and women’s control of their own bodies were core issues. 
The anarchist activist Emma Goldman and the birth-control advocate Margaret Sanger were two of his more prominent targets, and they returned the favor by denouncing him in their publications and from the lecture stage. 
In 1914, he arranged to have Sanger indicted over the contents of her magazine The Woman Rebel, which he called “obscene, lewd and lascivious.” Threatened with a potential 45-year prison term, she fled the country, but returned to face trial in 1915. The case was dismissed the following year when the government dropped the charges. 
Meanwhile, Comstock died of pneumonia in September 1915, at age 71. He had continued his crusade to the end, sometimes to the point of absurdity. Appointed by President Woodrow Wilson as U.S. delegate to the International Purity Conference in San Francisco, he was disturbed to see naked mannequins in department store windows there (apparently still being worked on by window-dressers) and decided to make a federal case of it. He lost.
Comstock Laws After Comstock
Over the course of the 20th century, court rulings would gradually whittle away at the original Comstock laws and their state imitators. But every now and then, publishers and the public would be reminded that the law was still on the books.
In 1943, the postmaster general moved to take away Esquiremagazine’s second-class mailing privileges on the grounds that some of its cartoons and other contents were obscene. (Less-expensive second-class mail was vital for many magazines’ survival.) The case dragged on until 1946 before the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed a lower court’s verdict in Esquire’s favor. 
In 1955 a new postmaster denied Playboy magazine’s request for a second-class permit, prompting publisher Hugh Hefner to remark that, “We don’t think Postmaster General Summerfield has any business editing magazines. He should stick to delivering mail.” Like Esquire, Playboy prevailed in court. 
These days, the postal laws rarely make headlines or lead to major court cases. While would-be censors of various political persuasions periodically call for greater restraints on social media and the Internet, that cause has yet to find its own Anthony Comstock.

At the 1868 Republican National Convention, the delegates unanimously nominated Grant for president and Speaker of the House Schuyler Colfax for vice president.[263] Although Grant had preferred to remain in the army, he accepted the Republican nomination, believing that he was the only one who could unify the nation
Ulysess means wrathful
grant and it means to give to one and it is about land grants to mine and his plan but per the mac plan. and to myself monies and he is a repbulican.
trump hs the nomination...the apparent nominee
and has it due to primaries. and those are elections.

He becomes president only days after Lincoln is shot under a different name and he ran for president it was going on during the Civil War. There's no time to do all of this and the candidates don't line up. Lincoln was president during the Civil War and that was John Remallard and he was killed and he was killed as Hitler. He was killed by this man who kills his son and takes over his role to become president and people are aware of it and that's how it's supposed to go it doesn't seem to be going that way and we're surprised that things have not progressed along yet and there are things that might happen that might change what's happening however Trump is getting weaker by far it will be very weak in a couple of weeks and it won't go the way that he's thinking. And history won't repeat itself the exact way and that's what we think might happen.
Thor Freya
It really does not look it . And in order for it to happen the election would have to be won by Trump and that's November and he just is not gonna make it to that we don't think so he's getting smaller and smaller and smaller when he is supported by a lot of Max and he supported for the plan and we don't know if we could handle this particular women in charge and he says that unfortunately might be analogous to a demon and yeah that's true then the vice president might be tommy F Who's playing the black guy in the detective movie and he's really the bad guy. And could be the vice president running mate. And they might become president and vice president and Trump would already be gone out of the race and would have lost it and it's kind of what happens at the end of the civil war and it would be premature but he did take it in office by osmosis but it was from Trump and his son and that didn't happen and he was upset and he was trying to kill him the whole time it tried to kill Dave. So they think they defeated the curse but Camilla is gonna have a tough time and she's kind of like a little girl and she's not a bad person she's nice to her son and nephew and wants to be back to normal and holds the holds her hostage but is seeing it's kind of wrong and they're gonna see that it's very wrong and that's where things change she's got a small group and they're weak and her isolated she's going to show her teeth and they will knock her down we think.
mac proper
i admit probalby need them out and she says no
camilla
this will do that and tehn macs will collect or you shall be reunited

The Unforgettable Journey of Schuyler Colfax: A South Bend Legacy
Schuyler Colfax’s life was a tapestry woven with threads of resilience, ambition, and political intrigue. Born on March 23, 1823, in New York City to a family scarred by tragedy, his early years were marked by loss and struggle. His father’s untimely death from tuberculosis, just 5 months before Schuyler’s birth, and the passing of his sister 4 months later left him with a mother and grandmother…

My US Voting Record:
I made this with the help of wikipedia, google and posts like voting guides which I found online.
Note: I would have been a Monarchist during the Revolutionary War, but I'd probably still vote if living in America (No matter how displeased the revolution made me, I'd probably still always be willing to vote). But to show my dissatisfaction, every vote until 1824 is a protest vote:
1788: Nobody (I refuse to vote for George Washington). Maybe a write in protest vote for King George III?
1792: Nobody (I refuse to vote for George Washington). Maybe a write in protest vote for King George III?
1796: Maybe a write in protest vote for King George III?
1800: Maybe a write in protest vote for King George III?
1804: Maybe a write in protest vote for King George III?
1808: Maybe a write in protest vote for King George III?
1812: Protest Vote for King George III (I can't vote for anyone after the War of 1812 got started)
1816: Protest Vote for King George III (again, I don't know if I'd be able to forgive anyone after the War of 1812)
1820: Protest Vote for King George IV (I can't support Monroe after he helped fight 1812 against Canada and the British).

1924: Robert M. LaFollette/Burton K. Wheeler
1928: Al Smith/Joseph T. Robinson (although Herbert Hoover and Charles Curtis aren't bad either. I might've been a prohibitionist then, considering I hate the taste of alcohol. But Smith opposed lynching. So he gets my vote).
1932: Norman Thomas/James H. Maurer
1936: Norman Thomas/George A. Nelson
1940: Norman Thomas/Maynard Krueger
1944: Norman Thomas/Darlington Hoopes

1984: Walter Mondale/Geraldine Ferraro
1988: Willa Kenoyer/Ron Ehrenreich (I hear Michael Dukakis went to high school with the guy who founded the Judge Rotenberg Centre, which is a terrible place. So I can't vote for Dukakis. Can't take a chance on him with that history).

2000: Ralph Nader/Winona Laduke
2004: Ralph Nader/Peter Camejo

2016: Gloria La Riva/Eugene Puryear
2020: Joe Biden/Kamala Harris (My heart says Howie Hawkins/Angela Walker, however).

My super cool band teacher allowed me to drive an hour and 16 minutes to see this super cool (made in 1972) Federal Sign and Signal Thunderbolt 1003A. Located in Schuyler, Nebraska, and tested the first Tuesday at 10 AM. They did a short test today, probably because of the weather, but the sheer power of this made up for it. It violently shook the whole parking lot. What's nice about Colfax County is that they take care of their old stuff really well.

El Sheriff del Condado Stanton informó que un joven de 19 años de Schuyler perdió la vida en un accidente en el noreste de Nebraska cerca de las 3 p.m. del jueves, según un comunicado de prensa. El accidente ocurrió en la carretera 15 y la calle 822nd en la línea del condado Stanton / Colfax, al noreste de Clarkson. La investigación realizada por las oficinas del Sheriff del Condado Stanton y Colfax indica que un SUV Toyota circulaba hacia el norte en la carretera 15 cuando repentinamente giró a la izquierda fuera de la carretera hacia la calle 822nd y directamente en el camino de una camioneta que viajaba hacia el sur y que no tuvo tiempo de intentar evitar la colisión. El conductor del SUV, Jeyco González de Schuyler, fue expulsado de su vehículo y declarado muerto en el lugar, según el comunicado. El conductor de la camioneta hacia el sur, Tyler Regan, de 24 años y residente en O'Neill, fue rescatado de los escombros por el Departamento de Bomberos de Clarkson y trasladado al hospital de West Point donde fue estabilizado y luego llevado en helicóptero médico al Hospital Bergan Mercy en Omaha para tratar sus graves lesiones. El lugar del accidente bloqueó una porción de la carretera 15 durante más de tres horas. Los cinturones de seguridad y los airbags sí se desplegaron en la camioneta de Regan. La colisión causó que el eje delantero del SUV se desprendiera del marco y acabara en un arroyo fuera de la carretera. González estaba manejando el SUV con una licencia revocada, según el comunicado. El departamento de emergencia del Condado Stanton también ayudó en la escena. Ambos vehículos quedaron destruidos en el impacto a alta velocidad. #AccidenteDeTráfico #Muerte #Nebraska #CondadoStanton
