Today, April 22, 2024, marks the 30th anniversary of President Richard Nixon’s passing. The 37th President died in New York City in 1994 after suffering a stroke and was buried five days later on the grounds of the Nixon Library in Yorba Linda at the side of his First Lady.
The Nixon Foundation commemorated the anniversary with members of the United States Army lowering the flag to half staff over his birth house, the playing of Taps and a ceremonial wreath laying.
A commemorative display is currently available for visitors to view in Annenberg Court featuring items from President Nixon’s funeral that was held at the Presidential Library on April 27, 1994, with all five living U.S. presidents in attendance. Displayed items include condolence books from foreign dignitaries, a program from the memorial service and a framed proclamation issued by President Clinton.

I wish Nixon’s EPA would die.
That’s the biggest and worst of Nixon’s government expansions. The rest have to go as well.
Clinton and Nixon became best buddies at the end.
I will be visiting his museum and library in mid May.
Nixon, ex-President.
Clinton, sex-President.
Nixon sought peace with honor.
Clinton sought a piece while on her.
(Classic Jay Leno).
Red Pilled American had a ten part series on Nixon. They make a strong case that he was railroaded.
Warren Burger and Roe? The EPA? Clean Water Act? Wage and price controls? Kissinger? Stagflation?
As the Wall Street Joirnal said (when they were good), Getting Nixon for Watergate was like getting Capone for tax evasion.
I will always be grateful to Nixon for Linebacker II.
We should have done that in 1966.
As I heard someone say recently: The penalty in the public opinion sphere when waging war is the same whether you do it efficiently and thoroughly, or half-assed. So you might as well do it efficiently and thoroughly.
But her joy was short-lived. When Clinton ordered flags at Federal facilities lowered half-staff, an honor that has been shown since the beginning of the Republic to EVERY SINGLE EX-PRESIDENT when they die, she lost her marbles. She was spitting mad, and loudly castigated Beelzebubba .... how DARE he keep with centuries-old, unbroken tradition, when it's the hated Tricky Dick we're talking about? How dare he?
Yep, he allowed them to make election fraud "normal".
Great place to visit but also if you can, take in the Reagan Library..It has Air Force One there now - it was placed there after we had visited and we moved from CA so we never got to see it. The grounds at the Nixon library are beautiful but I didn’t find that so at the Reagan library - more wild environment there, hills/fields burned from the sun etc.
This is worth watching - 40 year reunion - 1973-2013 - when Nixon welcomed POW’s at the library and museum in Yorba Linda, CA..

I visited it a few days before Christmas in 2016. It's well worth making a stop at.
If anyone wonders how Watergate is handled, there's an entire gallery devoted to it. Rather than hiding it or trying to water it down, the museum practically assaults visitors with Watergate.
I thought that said a lot about Nixon. That he could own up to the biggest mistake of his long and otherwise respected political career like that.
I certainly felt it was time well spend, to have visited there.
After going to the Nixon Library I drove a little further out and visited the Reagan Library. Now that is DEFINITELY worth your while by any measure. Be sure to budget about three or four hours if you go there. When I visited they had a great exhibit about Eighties pop culture going on. Among other things there were some of the props from the Back to the Future movies.
Nixon's? Seriously?

Concern for the environment has shaped the Rockefeller Brothers Fund's grantmaking throughout its 75-year history, and it offers a good example of how a foundation must not only be clear about its own values and institutional strengths, but must also respond to major intellectual and social changes. The Fund’s approaches have evolved as new aspects of environmental degradation have become evident, as scientific understanding has increased, and as the international environmental movement has gained momentum...
That most Americans connect front man Nixon with the EPA is evidence of the Rockefeller ability to manipulate any project they see fit to use for their advantage without ever being on point.
How about when they share their warm and fuzzies about their intent to https://familybusiness.org/content/investing-for-a-better-world-a-conversation-with ? Those who stop at the headline won't find out...
So in September of 2014 we announced that we had begun the divesting of fossil fuels from the endowment. The whole Rockefeller family wasn’t pulling out of fossil fuels -- just this particular foundation with eight family members on its board.
I do not envy anyone their wealth but when anyone is actively working to turn US into a third world serfdom using phony platforms like global warming and their commitment to the cause is factually based on keeping "the same requirements for returns and risk, but with an added layer of an impact focus for a certain percentage of the endowment. Working with our outsourced chief investment office, Perella Weinberg Partners, our investment committee confirmed that we could do this in a way that does not compromise returns or increase risk. Then there wasn’t much resistance."
That does not resonate well with me and I cannot ignore that kind of characterless leadership; and leading US they've been since the early part of the 20th century, them and their globe trotting friends. They are destroying US.
Plan to be there all day. It’s big, complex, and covers decades.
The Reagan library takes less time.
Stealing elections never work out well for we citizens.
After 1960 things got progressively worse.
Funny the Nixon EPA and George H.W. Bush’s Americans With Disabilities Act were both from Republicans.
Living on after them.
And as Spock said in the film “Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country” (1991):
“Only Nixon could go to China.”
Agree.
I still liked him for his enemies list (Norman Mailer kept one, too, with a space for “retribution act taken” to be filled in with a date).
Hope nobody today dusts off the wage and price controls of that era. Sounds tempting to politicians during inflation.
Danger.....
In one interview Nixon was asked what if the Mayor Daley dumping of sealed boxes of Nixon votes into the river wouldn’t have happened and Nixon would have won Illinois and become President.
He said he had come to terms with the idea and “If I had won in 1960 it is quite possible I would have been the one assassinated.”
