My dear Diane Iovanna just pointed out, and i remember something about this, from way back in the Nixon administration. She said, "It just occurred to me; that as part of the Nixon settlement there was some reporting requirement of the Republican Party to the Democrats, and the end of that is coming up about now." I said, "Fifty years?" She said, "Yes." So, when did Nixon resign?

August 9th 1974 Nixon resigned. If you add fifty years that would be August 9th 2024 I believe.

Most of the actions we see now from the Democrats is the result of sheer desperation!

Thank you sir. Our State Senator was saying something about it, so we will ask him to clarify when we see him next.

Quiz: What happened the day before Nixon resigned?
I remember Peter Jennings reported that the final draft of Nixon’s Four Phase Economic Analysis of the Economy was printed and delivered to him. He put his feet up on the desk in the Oval Office and read the report. He signed it and then wrote out his resignation which he delivered the next day.
It was pointed out to me that if he had left office before that report was finalized and printed, it would have been killed. He considered it the most important thing he did during his Presidency.
Nixon’s effort was brilliant. He did 16 tests. Each test implemented a recommended solution to the inflation problem. They all failed. Inflation always went right back to what it would have been if nothing at all had been done. He gored everybody’s ox. All the famous economists were proven wrong and they hated him for it. It is probably the cause of the protests and hate in the street.
