👤 Personal Flex. Had to do it to em 😏. We call it the "Revelation Lion" It is similar to the "Autumn Lion" the gold will fade to rose gold and and is designed to actually look better over time with use. It's experimental but we think it's worth the flex. The Revelation Lion sports a copper lion head surrounded by gunmetal helmets to the sides and a studded gunmetal crown at the head. The sides are laced with crowns and roses with a "black lightening" bead for the juice. Why "Revelation Lion" 🤷🏾♂️? Not all ministry is pleasant. Sometimes men are called to do certain things unspeakable in service to something greater. Should that greater force need a hand, this bracelet will be on its wrist 🤜💧 ___________________________________________ 👤 #pursonstreasure #handmade #withpeace #jewelry #bracelet #bracelets #armlet #armlets #anklet #anklets #kaba #kabas #neckless #ring #rings #drip #flex #order #treasure #comingsoon (at Tower District, Fresno) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4TBgitHHPs/?igshid=1wgz7b1wnbgpx

Which Presidents Were Democrats And Republicans
: Lyndon B Johnson Vs Barry Goldwater
The Democrats nominated Lyndon B. Johnson who had succeeded to the presidency upon the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Johnson, the first president from the South since Andrew Johnson, had been Democratic leader of the Senate. Senator Hubert H. Humphrey of Minnesota, a longtime liberal, was nominated as Johnsons running mate. The Republicans chose Senator Barry Goldwater of for president and Congressman William E. Miller of New York for vice president.
In the campaign, conducted in the midst of the escalating Vietnam War, Goldwater, an ultraconservative, called for the bombing of North Vietnam and implied that the Social Security system should be dismantled. President Johnson campaigned on a platform of social reform that would incorporate Kennedys New Frontier proposals. Despite the countrys deepening involvement in Vietnam, the president also campaigned as the candidate of peace against the militaristic Goldwater.
Johnson won a decisive victory, polling 43,128,958 popular votes to 27,176,873 for Goldwater. In the Electoral College, he received 486 votes to Goldwaters 52.
The List Of American Presidents Who Came Before Donald Trump And Joe Biden
Donald Trump was elected as the 45th President of the United States in 2016. Four years later, Mr Trump lost the race to Democrat Joe Biden and become the tenth one-term president in US history.
On November 7, after a closely run contest, the former vice-president became the 46th president of the United States, finally claiming the presidency 32 years after his first run in 1988.
With Joe Biden now sworn in as the 46th US President, we look back at the 44 men before Mr Trump who have taken the presidential oath and the major events that marked their presidencies.
: Andrew Jackson Vs John Quincy Adams
Andrew Jackson won the presidency in 1828 by a landslide, receiving a record 647,292 popular votes to 507,730 for the incumbent John Quincy Adams. John C. Calhoun won the vice presidency with 171 electoral votes to 83 for Richard Rush and seven for William Smith.
The emergence of two parties promoted popular interest in the election. Jacksons party, sometimes called the Democratic-Republicans or simply Democrats, developed the first sophisticated national network of party organizations. Local party groups sponsored parades, barbecues, tree plantings and other popular events designed to promote Jackson and the local slate. The National-Republicans, the party of Adams and Henry Clay, lacked the local organizations of the Democrats, but they did have a clear platform: high tariffs, federal funding of roads, canals and other internal improvements, aid to domestic manufactures and development of cultural institutions.
The 1828 election campaign was one of the dirtiest in Americas history. Both parties spread false and exaggerated rumors about the opposition. Jackson men charged that Adams obtained the presidency in 1824 through a corrupt bargain with Clay. And they painted the incumbent president as a decadent aristocrat who had procured prostitutes for the czar while serving as U.S. minister to Russia and spent taxpayer money on gambling equipment for the White House .

The Issue Of Slavery: Enter Abraham Lincoln
In the mid-nineteenth century, slavery was a widely discussed political issue. The Democratic Partys internal views on this matter differed greatly. Southern Democrats wished for slavery to be expanded and reach into Western parts of the country. Northern Democrats, on the other hand, argued that this issue should be settled on a local level and through popular referendum. Such Democratic infighting eventually led to Abraham Lincoln, who belonged to the Republican Party, winning the presidential election of 1860. This new Republican Party had recently been formed by a group of Whigs, Democrats and other politicians who had broken free from their respective parties in order to form a party based on an anti-slavery platform.
Republicans Vs Democrats In Launching Wars: We Have The Numbers
If one were to compare the US political system to a dystopian society divided into distinct factions based on how many wars they have started, an interesting outcome rebuking conventional perceptions would have been observed.
It is not aboutthe strong ondefense, hawkish Republicans juxtaposed withpeace-loving dovish Democrats anymore. Looking back atthe past118 years, there have been some ‘divergents’ warmongering Democrats and amicable Republicans. However, more interestingly and surprising forthe conventional-minded the number ofthe XX century Democratic presidents who kept fromstarting wars is actually zero.
According tothe research conducted bySputnik, sincethe turn ofthe 20th century outof 8 US presidents none have managed tostay away frominitiating military aggression.
In turn, outof 12 Republican leaders, two Warren Harding and Gerald Ford have deviated fromthe generally accepted party reputation.
Since 1900, 35 conflicts have been launched byRepublican administrations compared to23 byDemocrats, with10 GOP presidents launching one or more conflicts, compared to8 Democrats.
Values and Wars
Rooted inAmerican conservatism, the US Republican party commonly referred toas the GOP has always viewed strong national defense asone ofits core principles.
“Democrats believe that cooperation is better thanconflict,” the party’s online platform says.
So who started them, and who ended them?
Calvin Coolidge Republican Candidate For Vice
Calvin Coolidge, three-quarter length portrait, seated, facing right
Governor Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts first achieved national prominence during the Boston police strike of 1919, when he sent a telegram to Samuel Gompers, President of the American Federation of Labor, saying: “There is no right to strike against the public safety by anyone, anywhere, any time.”
Coolidge was a reserved, uncommunicative New Englander; writer and wit Dorothy Parker once remarked he looked as though he had been “weaned on a pickle.” Even so, his obvious integrity and the simple American values he espoused soon made “Silent Cal” a popular figure. He succeeded to the presidency upon Harding’s death in 1923, and was elected to the White House in his own right in 1924.
Brief Audio Selection:Law and Order. Calvin Coolidge .
: Richard M Nixon Vs George Mcgovern
In 1972 the Republicans nominated President Richard M. Nixon and Vice President Spiro Agnew. The Democrats, still split over the war in Vietnam, chose a presidential candidate of liberal persuasion, Senator George McGovern of South Dakota. Senator Thomas F. Eagleton of Missouri was the vice-presidential choice, but after it was revealed that he had once received electric shock and other psychiatric treatments, he resigned from the ticket. McGovern named Sargent Shriver, director of the Peace Corps, as his replacement.
The campaign focused on the prospect of peace in Vietnam and an upsurge in the economy. Unemployment had leveled off and the inflation rate was declining. Two weeks before the November election, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger predicted inaccurately that the war in Vietnam would soon be over. During the campaign, a break-in occurred at Democratic National Headquarters in the complex in Washington, D.C., but it had little impact until after the election.
The campaign ended in one of the greatest landslides in the nations history. Nixons popular vote was 47,169,911 to McGoverns 29,170,383, and the Republican victory in the Electoral College was even more lopsided at 520 to 17. Only Massachusetts gave its votes to McGovern.
Acting President Of The United States
Jump to navigationJump to search
An acting president of the United States is an individual who legitimately exercises the powers and duties of the president of the United States even though that person does not hold the office in their own right. There is an established presidential line of succession in which officials of the United States federal government may be called upon to take on presidential responsibilities if the president becomes , dies, resigns, is removed from office during their four-year term of office; or if a has not been chosen before Inauguration Day or has failed to qualify by that date.
If the president dies, resigns, or is removed from office, the vice president automatically becomes president. Likewise, were a president-elect to die during the transition period, or decline to serve, the vice president-elect would become president on Inauguration Day. A vice president can also become the acting president if the president becomes incapacitated. However, should the presidency and vice presidency both become vacant, the statutory successor called upon would not become president, but would only be acting as president. To date, two vice presidentsGeorge H. W. Bush and Dick Cheney have served as acting president. No one lower in the presidential line of succession has so acted.
The Big List Of Alleged Malefactors
Each person identified as indicted, from 56 years of Executive branch investigations, is listed in Figure 4. Figure 5 provides the numbers, thus far, for the Trump administration. Two years into his term, President Trump has already proved greater than all but one of the previous 10 Presidents in number of indictments the Administration has scored. Congratulations Mr. Trump, you are the Greatest! Of course, the information in Figure 5 that is accurate in the morning may be out of date by the afternoon.
The Final Reports of the 28 Special Prosecution, Special Prosecutor, and Independent Counsel investigations between 1973 and 1999 are the go-to source for who was indicted for what. Before an investigation closes down it will be clear if the indictment itself survives legal challenge; cases will go to trial; there will be decisions. But the independent investigation may well close down before appeals are heard and decided. Therefore, the final reports are not, in some cases, the last word on total convictions and jail time. That still required further research of court records, news stories, and obituaries.
It is not necessary to read the many hundreds of pages of most of these documents for the raw numbers. There are, though, many engrossing distractions in the tales of greed for power or money, ambition, obstruction, arrogance, loyalty, ideological zealotry, duplicity, error and incompetence the reports lay out in generally careful legal language.
Interesting Insights Into Presidents And Gas Prices
To answer that question we took a look at every presidential term since vehicles became mainstream. Then to make a completely fair assessment, we took note of the actual price paid for a gallon of gas at the time and what the price would be if it was adjusted for 2020 inflation. Each gas price listed is an average for the length of that presidents term.
Weve also taken note of any major world events that might have affected the price of oil during that presidents term. Because all it takes is a large hurricane or signs of a recession to throw the numbers way off from the average.
The infograph here provides an overview of how gas prices have fluctuated from one President to the next. A few interesting insights include:
The very clear takeaway is that which party wins the presidency has less of an impact on gasoline prices than supply and demand. That usually isnt dictated by who is president but rather world events that either negatively/positively affect the supply chain or increase/decrease demand for gasoline.

: John Adams Vs Thomas Jefferson
The 1796 election, which took place against a background of increasingly harsh partisanship between Federalists and Republicans, was the first contested presidential race.
The Republicans called for more democratic practices and accused the Federalists of monarchism. The Federalists branded the Republicans Jacobins after Maximilien Robespierres faction in France. The Republicans opposed John Jays recently negotiated accommodationist treaty with Great Britain, whereas the Federalists believed its terms represented the only way to avoid a potentially ruinous war with Britain. Republicans favored a decentralized agrarian republic; Federalists called for the development of commerce and industry.
State legislatures still chose electors in most states, and there was no separate vote for vice president. Each elector cast two votes for president, with the runner-up becoming vice president.
The Federalists nominated Vice President John Adams and tried to attract southern support by running Thomas Pinckney of South Carolina for the second post. Thomas Jefferson was the Republican standard-bearer, with Aaron Burr as his running mate. Alexander Hamilton, always intriguing against Adams, tried to throw some votes to Jefferson in order to elect Pinckney president. Instead, Adams won with 71 votes; Jefferson became vice president, with 68; Pinckney came in third with 59; Burr received only 30 and 48 votes went to various other candidates.
Republicans From Reagan To Trump
After running on a platform based on reducing the size of the federal government, Reagan increased military spending, spearheaded huge tax cuts and championed the free market with policies that became known as Reaganomics.
In foreign policy, the United States also emerged the victor in its long-running Cold War with the Soviet Union. But as the economy began to show signs of weakness, the growing national debt helped foster popular dissatisfaction with Reagans successor, George H.W. Bush.
The GOP recaptured the White House in 2000, with the highly contested victory of Bushs son, George W. Bush, over Democratic contender Al Gore. Though initially popular, particularly after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the Bush administration lost support thanks to growing opposition to the war in Iraq and the faltering economy during the Great Recession.
After Democrat Barack Obama became the first African American to be elected U.S. president in 2008, the rise of the populist Tea Party movement harnessed opposition to Obamas economic and social reform policies to help Republicans gain a large majority in Congress by 2014.
: Franklin Pierce Vs Winfield Scott Vs John Pitale
The 1852 election rang a death knell for the Whig Party. Both parties split over their nominee and the issue of slavery. After forty-nine ballots of jockeying among Senator Lewis Cass of Michigan, former secretary of state James Buchanan of Pennsylvania and Senator Stephen A. Douglas of , the Democrats nominated a compromise choice, Franklin Pierce of New Hampshire, a former congressman and senator, with Senator William R. King of as his running mate. The Whigs rejected Millard Fillmore, who had become president when Taylor died in 1850, and Secretary of State Daniel Webster and instead nominated Gen. Winfield Scott of Virginia, with Senator William A. Graham of New Jersey for vice president. When Scott endorsed the party platform, which approved of the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850, Free-Soil Whigs bolted. They nominated Senator John P. Hale of New Hampshire for president and former congressman George Washington Julian of Indiana for vice president. Southern Whigs were suspicious of Scott, whom they saw as a tool of antislavery senator William H. Seward of New York.
Democratic unity, Whig disunity and Scotts political ineptitude combined to elect Pierce. Young Hickory of the Granite Hills outpolled Old Fuss and Feathers in the electoral college, 254 to 42, and in the popular vote, 1,601,474 to 1,386,578.
American Presidents: Life Portraits
American Presidents: Life Portraits is a series produced by in 1999. Each episode was aired live, and was a two- to three-hour look at the life and times of one particular president of the United States. Episodes were broadcast from locations of importance to the profiled president, featured interviews with historians and other experts, and incorporated calls from viewers. The series served as a commemoration of C-SPAN’s 20th anniversary.
The first program aired on March 15, 1999, and profiled George Washington. Subsequent programs featured each president in succession, concluding with Bill Clinton on December 20, 1999.
: William Howard Taft Vs William Jennings Bryan
After Theodore Roosevelt declined to run for reelection in 1908, the Republican convention nominated Secretary of War William Howard Taft for president and Representative James Schoolcraft Sherman of New York as his running mate. The Democrats chose William Jennings Bryan for president for the third time; his running mate was John Kern of Indiana.
The predominant campaign issue was Roosevelt. His record as a reformer countered Bryans reformist reputation, and Taft promised to carry on Roosevelts policies. Business leaders campaigned for Taft.
In the election, Taft received 7,679,006 popular votes to Bryans 6,409,106. Tafts margin in the Electoral College was 321 to 162.
Corinne Roosevelt Robinson Prominent Republican Sister Of Theodore Roosevelt
Famous G.O.P women arrive
Corinne Roosevelt Robinson was a frequent participant in charities and politics. Active in both the Red Cross and the Salvation Army, she was also a member of the executive committee for the Republican National Committee, and the Republican New York State Committee.
A well-known Republican in New York, Corinne Robinson’s importance grew because the presidential campaign of 1920 marked the first election in which women could vote. Anxious to attract women’s votes, both the Republican and Democratic parties sought significant women to speak in support of their candidates. In the speech she recorded for the Nation’s Forum, Robinson speaks of her support for the Republican candidates because they are “one hundred percent American.”

: Martin Van Buren Vs Daniel Webster Vs Hugh White
The election of 1836 was largely a referendum on Andrew Jackson, but it also helped shape what is known as the second party system. The Democrats nominated Vice President Martin Van Buren to lead the ticket. His running mate, Col. Richard M. Johnson, claimed to have killed Indian chief .
Disdaining the organized politics of the Democrats, the new Whig Party ran three candidates, each strong in a different region: Hugh White of Tennessee, Senator Daniel Webster of Massachusetts and Gen. William Henry Harrison of . Besides endorsing internal improvements and a national bank, the Whigs tried to tie Democrats to abolitionism and sectional tension, and attacked Jackson for acts of aggression and usurpation of power. Democrats depended on Jacksons popularity, trying to maintain his coalition.
Van Buren won the election with 764,198 popular votes, only 50.9 percent of the total, and 170 electoral votes. Harrison led the Whigs with 73 electoral votes, White receiving 26 and Webster 14. Willie P. Mangum of South Carolina received his states 11 electoral votes. Johnson, who failed to win an electoral majority, was elected vice president by the Democratic Senate.
: Abraham Lincoln Vs George B Mcclellan
The contest in the midst of the Civil War pitted President Abraham Lincoln against Democrat George B. McClellan, the general who had commanded the Army of the Potomac until his indecision and delays caused Lincoln to remove him. The vice-presidential candidates were Andrew Johnson, Tennessees military governor who had refused to acknowledge his states secession, and Representative George Pendleton of . At first, Radical Republicans, fearing defeat, talked of ousting Lincoln in favor of the more ardently antislavery secretary of the treasury Salmon P. Chase, or Generals John C. Frémont or Benjamin F. Butler. But in the end they fell in behind the president.
The Republicans attracted Democratic support by running as the Union party and putting Johnson, a pro-war Democrat, on the ticket. McClellan repudiated the Democratic platforms call for peace, but he attacked Lincolns handling of the war.
Lincoln won in a landslide, owing partly to a policy of letting soldiers go home to vote. But the military successes of Generals Ulysses S. Grant in Virginia and William T. Sherman in the Deep South were probably more important. He received 2,206,938 votes to McClellans 1,803,787. The electoral vote was 212 to 21. Democrats did better in state elections.
Emergence Of New Conservatism
The relief programs included in FDRs New Deal earned overwhelming popular approval, launching an era of Democratic dominance that would last for most of the next 60 years. Between 1932 and 1980, Republicans won only four presidential elections and had a Congressional majority for only four years.
Though the centrist Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower, who was president from 1953 to 1961, actively supported equal rights for women and African Americans, a conservative resurgence led to Barry Goldwaters nomination as president in 1964, continued with Richard Nixons ill-fated presidency and reached its culmination with the election of Ronald Reagan in 1980.
The South saw a major political sea change starting after World War II, as many white Southerners began migrating to the GOP due to their opposition to big government, expanded labor unions and Democratic support for civil rights, as well as conservative Christians opposition to abortion and other culture war issues.
Meanwhile, many black voters, who had remained loyal to the Republican Party since the Civil War, began voting Democratic after the Depression and the New Deal.
: George W Bush Vs John Kerry
Total voter turnout for the 2004 presidential election numbered at about 120 million, an impressive 15 million increase from the 2000 vote.
After the bitterly contested election of 2000, many were poised for a similar election battle in 2004. Although there were reported irregularities in Ohio, a recount confirmed the original vote counts with nominal differences that did not affect the final outcome.
Former Vermont governor Howard Dean was the expected Democratic candidate but lost support during the primaries. There was speculation that he sealed his fate when he let out a deep, guttural yell in front of a rally of supporters, which became known as the I Have a Scream speech, because it was delivered on Martin Luther King Day.
Popular Vote: 60,693,281 to 57,355,978 . Electoral College: 286 to 251
: Franklin D Roosevelt Vs Alfred M Landon
In 1936 the Democratic Party nominated President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Vice President John Nance Garner. The Republican Party, strongly opposed to the New Deal and big government, chose Governor Alfred M. Landon of Kansas and Fred Knox of Illinois.
The 1936 presidential campaign focused on class to an unusual extent for American politics. Conservative Democrats such as Alfred E. Smith supported Landon. Eighty percent of newspapers endorsed the Republicans, accusing Roosevelt of imposing a centralized economy. Most businesspeople charged the New Deal with trying to destroy American individualism and threatening the nations liberty. But Roosevelt appealed to a coalition of western and southern farmers, industrial workers, urban ethnic voters, and reform-minded intellectuals. African-American voters, historically Republican, switched to FDR in record numbers.
In a referendum on the emerging welfare state, the Democratic Party won in a landslide27,751,612 popular votes for FDR to only 16,681,913 for Landon. The Republicans carried two statesMaine and Vermontwith eight electoral votes; Roosevelt received the remaining 523. The unprecedented success of FDR in 1936 marked the beginning of a long period of Democratic Party dominance.
: Jimmy Carter Vs Gerald Ford
In 1976 the Democratic Party nominated former governor Jimmy Carter of Georgia for president and Senator Walter Mondale of Minnesota for vice president. The Republicans chose President Gerald Ford and Senator Robert Dole of Kansas. Richard M. Nixon had appointed Ford, a congressman from Michigan, as vice president to replace Spiro Agnew, who had resigned amid charges of corruption. Ford became president when Nixon resigned after the House Judiciary Committee voted three articles of because of his involvement in an attempted cover-up of the politically inspired Watergate break-in.
In the campaign, Carter ran as an outsider, independent of Washington, which was now in disrepute. Ford tried to justify his pardoning Nixon for any crimes he might have committed during the cover-up, as well as to overcome the disgrace many thought the Republicans had brought to the presidency.
Carter and Mondale won a narrow victory, 40,828,587 popular votes to 39,147,613 and 297 electoral votes to 241. The Democratic victory ended eight years of divided government; the party now controlled both the White House and Congress.

Coolidge was a reserved, uncommunicative New Englander; writer and wit Dorothy Parker once remarked he looked as though he had been “weaned on a pickle.” Even so, his obvious integrity and the simple American values he espoused soon made “Silent Cal” a popular figure. He succeeded to the presidency upon Harding’s death in 1923, and was elected to the White House in his own right in 1924.

: Richard M Nixon Vs George Mcgovern
In 1972 the Republicans nominated President Richard M. Nixon and Vice President Spiro Agnew. The Democrats, still split over the war in Vietnam, chose a presidential candidate of liberal persuasion, Senator George McGovern of South Dakota. Senator Thomas F. Eagleton of Missouri was the vice-presidential choice, but after it was revealed that he had once received electric shock and other psychiatric treatments, he resigned from the ticket. McGovern named Sargent Shriver, director of the Peace Corps, as his replacement.
The campaign focused on the prospect of peace in Vietnam and an upsurge in the economy. Unemployment had leveled off and the inflation rate was declining. Two weeks before the November election, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger predicted inaccurately that the war in Vietnam would soon be over. During the campaign, a break-in occurred at Democratic National Headquarters in the complex in Washington, D.C., but it had little impact until after the election.
The campaign ended in one of the greatest landslides in the nations history. Nixons popular vote was 47,169,911 to McGoverns 29,170,383, and the Republican victory in the Electoral College was even more lopsided at 520 to 17. Only Massachusetts gave its votes to McGovern.
Acting President Of The United States
youtube
Jump to navigationJump to search
An acting president of the United States is an individual who legitimately exercises the powers and duties of the president of the United States even though that person does not hold the office in their own right. There is an established presidential line of succession in which officials of the United States federal government may be called upon to take on presidential responsibilities if the president becomes , dies, resigns, is removed from office during their four-year term of office; or if a has not been chosen before Inauguration Day or has failed to qualify by that date.
If the president dies, resigns, or is removed from office, the vice president automatically becomes president. Likewise, were a president-elect to die during the transition period, or decline to serve, the vice president-elect would become president on Inauguration Day. A vice president can also become the acting president if the president becomes incapacitated. However, should the presidency and vice presidency both become vacant, the statutory successor called upon would not become president, but would only be acting as president. To date, two vice presidentsGeorge H. W. Bush and Dick Cheney have served as acting president. No one lower in the presidential line of succession has so acted.
The Big List Of Alleged Malefactors
Each person identified as indicted, from 56 years of Executive branch investigations, is listed in Figure 4. Figure 5 provides the numbers, thus far, for the Trump administration. Two years into his term, President Trump has already proved greater than all but one of the previous 10 Presidents in number of indictments the Administration has scored. Congratulations Mr. Trump, you are the Greatest! Of course, the information in Figure 5 that is accurate in the morning may be out of date by the afternoon.
The Final Reports of the 28 Special Prosecution, Special Prosecutor, and Independent Counsel investigations between 1973 and 1999 are the go-to source for who was indicted for what. Before an investigation closes down it will be clear if the indictment itself survives legal challenge; cases will go to trial; there will be decisions. But the independent investigation may well close down before appeals are heard and decided. Therefore, the final reports are not, in some cases, the last word on total convictions and jail time. That still required further research of court records, news stories, and obituaries.
It is not necessary to read the many hundreds of pages of most of these documents for the raw numbers. There are, though, many engrossing distractions in the tales of greed for power or money, ambition, obstruction, arrogance, loyalty, ideological zealotry, duplicity, error and incompetence the reports lay out in generally careful legal language.
Interesting Insights Into Presidents And Gas Prices
To answer that question we took a look at every presidential term since vehicles became mainstream. Then to make a completely fair assessment, we took note of the actual price paid for a gallon of gas at the time and what the price would be if it was adjusted for 2020 inflation. Each gas price listed is an average for the length of that presidents term.
Weve also taken note of any major world events that might have affected the price of oil during that presidents term. Because all it takes is a large hurricane or signs of a recession to throw the numbers way off from the average.
The infograph here provides an overview of how gas prices have fluctuated from one President to the next. A few interesting insights include:
The very clear takeaway is that which party wins the presidency has less of an impact on gasoline prices than supply and demand. That usually isnt dictated by who is president but rather world events that either negatively/positively affect the supply chain or increase/decrease demand for gasoline.

: John Adams Vs Thomas Jefferson
The 1796 election, which took place against a background of increasingly harsh partisanship between Federalists and Republicans, was the first contested presidential race.
The Republicans called for more democratic practices and accused the Federalists of monarchism. The Federalists branded the Republicans Jacobins after Maximilien Robespierres faction in France. The Republicans opposed John Jays recently negotiated accommodationist treaty with Great Britain, whereas the Federalists believed its terms represented the only way to avoid a potentially ruinous war with Britain. Republicans favored a decentralized agrarian republic; Federalists called for the development of commerce and industry.
State legislatures still chose electors in most states, and there was no separate vote for vice president. Each elector cast two votes for president, with the runner-up becoming vice president.
The Federalists nominated Vice President John Adams and tried to attract southern support by running Thomas Pinckney of South Carolina for the second post. Thomas Jefferson was the Republican standard-bearer, with Aaron Burr as his running mate. Alexander Hamilton, always intriguing against Adams, tried to throw some votes to Jefferson in order to elect Pinckney president. Instead, Adams won with 71 votes; Jefferson became vice president, with 68; Pinckney came in third with 59; Burr received only 30 and 48 votes went to various other candidates.
Republicans From Reagan To Trump
After running on a platform based on reducing the size of the federal government, Reagan increased military spending, spearheaded huge tax cuts and championed the free market with policies that became known as Reaganomics.
In foreign policy, the United States also emerged the victor in its long-running Cold War with the Soviet Union. But as the economy began to show signs of weakness, the growing national debt helped foster popular dissatisfaction with Reagans successor, George H.W. Bush.
The GOP recaptured the White House in 2000, with the highly contested victory of Bushs son, George W. Bush, over Democratic contender Al Gore. Though initially popular, particularly after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the Bush administration lost support thanks to growing opposition to the war in Iraq and the faltering economy during the Great Recession.
After Democrat Barack Obama became the first African American to be elected U.S. president in 2008, the rise of the populist Tea Party movement harnessed opposition to Obamas economic and social reform policies to help Republicans gain a large majority in Congress by 2014.
: Franklin Pierce Vs Winfield Scott Vs John Pitale
The 1852 election rang a death knell for the Whig Party. Both parties split over their nominee and the issue of slavery. After forty-nine ballots of jockeying among Senator Lewis Cass of Michigan, former secretary of state James Buchanan of Pennsylvania and Senator Stephen A. Douglas of , the Democrats nominated a compromise choice, Franklin Pierce of New Hampshire, a former congressman and senator, with Senator William R. King of as his running mate. The Whigs rejected Millard Fillmore, who had become president when Taylor died in 1850, and Secretary of State Daniel Webster and instead nominated Gen. Winfield Scott of Virginia, with Senator William A. Graham of New Jersey for vice president. When Scott endorsed the party platform, which approved of the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850, Free-Soil Whigs bolted. They nominated Senator John P. Hale of New Hampshire for president and former congressman George Washington Julian of Indiana for vice president. Southern Whigs were suspicious of Scott, whom they saw as a tool of antislavery senator William H. Seward of New York.
Democratic unity, Whig disunity and Scotts political ineptitude combined to elect Pierce. Young Hickory of the Granite Hills outpolled Old Fuss and Feathers in the electoral college, 254 to 42, and in the popular vote, 1,601,474 to 1,386,578.
American Presidents: Life Portraits
American Presidents: Life Portraits is a series produced by in 1999. Each episode was aired live, and was a two- to three-hour look at the life and times of one particular president of the United States. Episodes were broadcast from locations of importance to the profiled president, featured interviews with historians and other experts, and incorporated calls from viewers. The series served as a commemoration of C-SPAN’s 20th anniversary.
The first program aired on March 15, 1999, and profiled George Washington. Subsequent programs featured each president in succession, concluding with Bill Clinton on December 20, 1999.
: William Howard Taft Vs William Jennings Bryan
After Theodore Roosevelt declined to run for reelection in 1908, the Republican convention nominated Secretary of War William Howard Taft for president and Representative James Schoolcraft Sherman of New York as his running mate. The Democrats chose William Jennings Bryan for president for the third time; his running mate was John Kern of Indiana.
The predominant campaign issue was Roosevelt. His record as a reformer countered Bryans reformist reputation, and Taft promised to carry on Roosevelts policies. Business leaders campaigned for Taft.
In the election, Taft received 7,679,006 popular votes to Bryans 6,409,106. Tafts margin in the Electoral College was 321 to 162.
Corinne Roosevelt Robinson Prominent Republican Sister Of Theodore Roosevelt
youtube
Famous G.O.P women arrive
Corinne Roosevelt Robinson was a frequent participant in charities and politics. Active in both the Red Cross and the Salvation Army, she was also a member of the executive committee for the Republican National Committee, and the Republican New York State Committee.
A well-known Republican in New York, Corinne Robinson’s importance grew because the presidential campaign of 1920 marked the first election in which women could vote. Anxious to attract women’s votes, both the Republican and Democratic parties sought significant women to speak in support of their candidates. In the speech she recorded for the Nation’s Forum, Robinson speaks of her support for the Republican candidates because they are “one hundred percent American.”

: Martin Van Buren Vs Daniel Webster Vs Hugh White
The election of 1836 was largely a referendum on Andrew Jackson, but it also helped shape what is known as the second party system. The Democrats nominated Vice President Martin Van Buren to lead the ticket. His running mate, Col. Richard M. Johnson, claimed to have killed Indian chief .
Disdaining the organized politics of the Democrats, the new Whig Party ran three candidates, each strong in a different region: Hugh White of Tennessee, Senator Daniel Webster of Massachusetts and Gen. William Henry Harrison of . Besides endorsing internal improvements and a national bank, the Whigs tried to tie Democrats to abolitionism and sectional tension, and attacked Jackson for acts of aggression and usurpation of power. Democrats depended on Jacksons popularity, trying to maintain his coalition.
Van Buren won the election with 764,198 popular votes, only 50.9 percent of the total, and 170 electoral votes. Harrison led the Whigs with 73 electoral votes, White receiving 26 and Webster 14. Willie P. Mangum of South Carolina received his states 11 electoral votes. Johnson, who failed to win an electoral majority, was elected vice president by the Democratic Senate.
: Abraham Lincoln Vs George B Mcclellan
The contest in the midst of the Civil War pitted President Abraham Lincoln against Democrat George B. McClellan, the general who had commanded the Army of the Potomac until his indecision and delays caused Lincoln to remove him. The vice-presidential candidates were Andrew Johnson, Tennessees military governor who had refused to acknowledge his states secession, and Representative George Pendleton of . At first, Radical Republicans, fearing defeat, talked of ousting Lincoln in favor of the more ardently antislavery secretary of the treasury Salmon P. Chase, or Generals John C. Frémont or Benjamin F. Butler. But in the end they fell in behind the president.
The Republicans attracted Democratic support by running as the Union party and putting Johnson, a pro-war Democrat, on the ticket. McClellan repudiated the Democratic platforms call for peace, but he attacked Lincolns handling of the war.
Lincoln won in a landslide, owing partly to a policy of letting soldiers go home to vote. But the military successes of Generals Ulysses S. Grant in Virginia and William T. Sherman in the Deep South were probably more important. He received 2,206,938 votes to McClellans 1,803,787. The electoral vote was 212 to 21. Democrats did better in state elections.
Emergence Of New Conservatism
The relief programs included in FDRs New Deal earned overwhelming popular approval, launching an era of Democratic dominance that would last for most of the next 60 years. Between 1932 and 1980, Republicans won only four presidential elections and had a Congressional majority for only four years.
Though the centrist Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower, who was president from 1953 to 1961, actively supported equal rights for women and African Americans, a conservative resurgence led to Barry Goldwaters nomination as president in 1964, continued with Richard Nixons ill-fated presidency and reached its culmination with the election of Ronald Reagan in 1980.
The South saw a major political sea change starting after World War II, as many white Southerners began migrating to the GOP due to their opposition to big government, expanded labor unions and Democratic support for civil rights, as well as conservative Christians opposition to abortion and other culture war issues.
Meanwhile, many black voters, who had remained loyal to the Republican Party since the Civil War, began voting Democratic after the Depression and the New Deal.
: George W Bush Vs John Kerry
Total voter turnout for the 2004 presidential election numbered at about 120 million, an impressive 15 million increase from the 2000 vote.
After the bitterly contested election of 2000, many were poised for a similar election battle in 2004. Although there were reported irregularities in Ohio, a recount confirmed the original vote counts with nominal differences that did not affect the final outcome.
Former Vermont governor Howard Dean was the expected Democratic candidate but lost support during the primaries. There was speculation that he sealed his fate when he let out a deep, guttural yell in front of a rally of supporters, which became known as the I Have a Scream speech, because it was delivered on Martin Luther King Day.
Popular Vote: 60,693,281 to 57,355,978 . Electoral College: 286 to 251
: Franklin D Roosevelt Vs Alfred M Landon
In 1936 the Democratic Party nominated President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Vice President John Nance Garner. The Republican Party, strongly opposed to the New Deal and big government, chose Governor Alfred M. Landon of Kansas and Fred Knox of Illinois.
The 1936 presidential campaign focused on class to an unusual extent for American politics. Conservative Democrats such as Alfred E. Smith supported Landon. Eighty percent of newspapers endorsed the Republicans, accusing Roosevelt of imposing a centralized economy. Most businesspeople charged the New Deal with trying to destroy American individualism and threatening the nations liberty. But Roosevelt appealed to a coalition of western and southern farmers, industrial workers, urban ethnic voters, and reform-minded intellectuals. African-American voters, historically Republican, switched to FDR in record numbers.
In a referendum on the emerging welfare state, the Democratic Party won in a landslide27,751,612 popular votes for FDR to only 16,681,913 for Landon. The Republicans carried two statesMaine and Vermontwith eight electoral votes; Roosevelt received the remaining 523. The unprecedented success of FDR in 1936 marked the beginning of a long period of Democratic Party dominance.
: Jimmy Carter Vs Gerald Ford
In 1976 the Democratic Party nominated former governor Jimmy Carter of Georgia for president and Senator Walter Mondale of Minnesota for vice president. The Republicans chose President Gerald Ford and Senator Robert Dole of Kansas. Richard M. Nixon had appointed Ford, a congressman from Michigan, as vice president to replace Spiro Agnew, who had resigned amid charges of corruption. Ford became president when Nixon resigned after the House Judiciary Committee voted three articles of because of his involvement in an attempted cover-up of the politically inspired Watergate break-in.
In the campaign, Carter ran as an outsider, independent of Washington, which was now in disrepute. Ford tried to justify his pardoning Nixon for any crimes he might have committed during the cover-up, as well as to overcome the disgrace many thought the Republicans had brought to the presidency.
Carter and Mondale won a narrow victory, 40,828,587 popular votes to 39,147,613 and 297 electoral votes to 241. The Democratic victory ended eight years of divided government; the party now controlled both the White House and Congress.

Sadie Robertson Says This Huge Lie Destroyed Relationship With Ex, Reveals Who Her Husband Will Be
ShareTweet
There are few women in pop culture whom I see fit to be role models for the younger generation of girls we're raising up today.
One of the few who absolutely fits the bill is Sadie Robertson.
Facebook
Since making her first appearances as a teenager on her family's A&E hit series Duck Dynasty, Sadie has grown into a beautiful, respectable young woman who knows a thing or two about connecting with others.
As part of her Live Original motivational speaking tour (because that's what every girl does at 20 years old), Sadie recently launched a new personal blog which she plans to use as a platform for heart-to-heartsand honest conversations with those following her journey.
The very first blog, titled A Passionate Pursuit, was posted on July 31, and y'all, she got really REAL, really fast.
The Dancing With the Stars runner-up has always been open about her relationships, heartbreak and ultimate pursuit of Jesus. But this post put things into a whole new perspective, once again crowning her as role model of the century.
Facebook
Talking about her failed relationship with former boyfriend Blake Coward, Sadie writes about how they were so passionate, and how that's ultimately what destroyed them.
We were so'passionate'-and to me, it seemed like that couldn't possibly be a negative thing, because I heard the word passion at church all the time. That was a huge LIE and created so much confusion for me. I thought our connection was so deep because we created this false love for ourselves that said it was okay to constantly fight like cats and dogs, scream hateful words and cry till our eyes were swollen. All we'd have to do afterwards is share a kiss, make up and then boom-our relationship would be stronger than ever. That was wonderful and alluntil the next throw down came which was inevitably not too far around the corner.
Sadie believes this pattern derives from our modern-day culture, which influences young women to be passionate, and convinces them that not only is this cycle of fighting and making up considered normal, but I'd go as far as to say that culture paints it to be desired.
We would go through this unhealthy pattern of I hate you, I love you. I hate that I love you. The world makes that seem like such a normal, attractive concept through movies and music, but let me tell you, it definitely is not. We figured out the hard way that all it leaves you with is a lot of hurt, loneliness and confusion.
You can go with the media's version of passion, but I'm speaking from experience here when I say that even if it survives and the relationship lasts, you will be living for temporary moments of happiness and gratification instead of true joy.
It goes without saying, but Sadieboasts inspiring wisdom that is far beyond her years. It's real talk and Truth like this that our girls desperately need to be soaking up and holding on to.
She explains how it's true that relationships aren't always sunshine and roses, but there's a difference between working through bad times in a manner that is proactive, and living in temporary survival mode as you hold onto something destructive.
Facebook
Sadie reveals that it was after yet another intense fight with her boyfriend that she did what she should have done long before: She turned to God's word.
I clicked on my Bible app and I re-read 1st Corinthians chapter 13, she writes.
The verse is one of the most quoted passages of all time:
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.Love never fails. 1 Corinthians 13: 4-7
This is when I decide[d] to seek truth and invited these words to tear down walls of lies that had been built up for so long. I remember comparing the conversation I just had with my boyfriend to the words I was reading in the bible, and let me tell youit was the furthest things from the words we ended withI love you.
It was this pivotal moment when Sadie's understanding of the word passion took on a whole new meaning. It led her to end her toxic relationship, and hold captive the truth that passion does not have to be watered down and tainted like the world portrays it.
Ever since then, I have noticed that the word passion has a new meaning in my life. It is a passion that is pure, and it is the very thing that fuels me to press past the feelings that rise up and make me fear the future.
She says it's this shift in perspective that prompted healing, gratitude, trust and peace amidst something that had once been an intense rollercoaster.
I no longer live in survival mode or pursue temporary feelings of happiness. I strive to live life the way it was meant to be lived-to the fullest. My story does not end in heart break or death. I have an abundant life full of joy, hope, freedom, and a word I have come to fall in love withPEACE-which was waiting for me on the other side of trust.
Sadie says that like many girls her age, she used to make lists of the qualities she'd look for in a potential husband. But no more.
Facebook
Now I just write prayers that circle around the list the Lord help[s] me write. My husband will be a man who has practiced and respected patience. He is charmingly and truthfully kind. He is not jealous, because He trusts in the Lord enough to trust in me. He is not boastful or proud because our love speaks in actions. He surely is not rude. Our love most definitely does not demand its own way for we know and long for the Lord to lead our path. He is not irritable when times are stressful. Together we will keep no records of wrong. He dances with me and rejoices when truth wins. His joy carries us through the valleys. In the hard times, he will love even harder. He will help silence my fears, but he will not accept them. He believes in truth over convenience or being comfortable. He feels my cry, is encouraged by my laugh, and joins me in song no matter how off key to worship our father God. He will never give up, because his eyes are on God and not me. He will never lose faith. Even if the whole world is against me, he will be for me because he loves the Jesus in me. He knows a river brings joy into the city of God even when the nations are in chaos. He sits still with me and knows that God is God. He will be able to endure all circumstances, because I will be right there with him holding his hand-striving to do the exact same thing. He will lead me where the Lord is leading him. We will meet at the Lord's feet.
She closes by saying that this is the kind of love she's passionate about. One that radiates Godly passion that is pure, peaceful and greater than any passionate thing society could paint up for our misguidance.
Be expectant and do not lose the passion the Lord creates in you.
May her words and truth lead you closer to that passion today.

He dances with me and rejoices when truth wins. His joy carries us through the valleys. In the hard times, he will love even harder. He will help silence my fears, but he will not accept them. He believes in truth over convenience or being comfortable. He feels my cry, is encouraged by my laugh, and joins me in song no matter how off key to worship our father God. He will never give up, because his eyes are on God and not me. He will never lose faith. Even if the whole world is against me, he will be for me because he loves the Jesus in me. He knows a river brings joy into the city of God even when the nations are in chaos. He sits still with me and knows that God is God. He will be able to endure all circumstances, because I will be right there with him holding his hand-striving to do the exact same thing. He will lead me where the Lord is leading him. We will meet at the Lord's feet.
She closes by saying that this is the kind of love she's passionate about. One that radiates Godly passion that is pure, peaceful and greater than any passionate thing society could paint up for our misguidance.
Be expectant and do not lose the passion the Lord creates in you.
May her words and truth lead you closer to that passion today.
