Makes me think Trump should have not run a second time. He certainly got the wheels turning.

I went to James K. Polk ES in VA. Also went to John Adams Middle School. I’m betting that, unless it’s already happened, those 2 will be chalked up racists and the names will be changed. Floyd, Ginsburg, Obama, K Harris. Lots of woke choices.

Some military units still celebrate Millard Fillmore’s b’day as a reason to party. (Dad’s ‘Nam stories).

...[Polk]... wanted to take California and its ports of San Diego and San Francisco from Mexico

And we've got good Republicans running around today saying, "Let them secede, let them secede. Who needs them?" BS!!!.

The ports, mineral wealth, etc., to say nothing of the fact that California has some of the best, most productive and expensive farm real estate (land and buildings) in the nation... And you (not you, SeekAndFnd) want to hand it over to the communists on a silver platter??? Not. An. Inch! Good men died protecting it.

I still have hope that GOD will seat the duly elected President Trump into office. He has the final say. His time, His way.

What did Andrew Jackson accomplish as President, aside from successfully persecuting the Cherokee and other native Americans? It is true that the economy boomed during his time in office, but it quickly collapsed on his chosen successor, Martin Van Buren.

No, the media alienated half the country. Ppp president Trump was in the public eye for decades and no one said he was a racist. Then he stomps on hillary’s coronation and boom, he’s public enemy #1.

Like Trump, Polk failed to carry his home state. If Birney had not run on the Liberty Party ticket, Clay probably would have been elected.

Polk's Postmaster General, Cave Johnson, introduced postage stamps. (He failed to foresee the internet and paying online.) I guess that doesn't count as one of the major accomplishments of Polk's term.

Polk died of cholera so it was not inevitable that he would die so soon after leaving office.
