Today in Labor History February 11, 1953: Cold War: U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower denied all appeals for clemency for Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. The government executed them at Sing Sing in 1953. They had been convicted of espionage for the USSR. Their sons, Michael and Robert Meeropol (adopted by Abel Merepol, composer of the anti-lynching song “Strange Fruit,”), maintained their parents’ innocence. However, after the fall of the Soviet Union, decoded Soviet cables showed that their father had collaborated. They continued to fight for the mother’s pardon, but Obama refused to grant it.

Ich musste bei der #Abschiedsrede von #Biden auch gleich an #Eisenhower denken.

Anscheinend ist die Hauptfunktion dieser Abschiedszeremonie, dass jene die die ganze Zeit immer extrem kontrolliert öffentlich auftreten mussten, wenigstens ein einziges mal den #HofNarr spielen dürfen & aussprechen was alle eh schon wissen.

In diesem Fall, dass die #USA keine #Demokratie mehr sind, sondern eine #Oligarchie.

Former #Democrat favoring towns of #WhiteWorkingClass #Voters flipped en masse for promises of glorious #Trumponomics in 2024.

In #NewCastle PA where the last #GOP President they voted in was #Eisenhower, the low-income voter base majority pinned hopes on #DJT, praying he goes after immigrants, but doesn’t slash their #welfare benefits.

The chances their political shift will personally payoff are slim, and few seem to think they have much to lose by abandoning #Democrats, as the political party’s promises to help white people like themselves began to ring hollow.

New Castle was a bastion for Democratic votes up until this year. But in larger Lawrence County, the shift toward the GOP has been ongoing. White, working class Americans were increasingly drawn to Republican candidates, in part because of their messaging on security and immigration. According to Census data, White residents make up three-fourths of New Castle’s population, while Black residents account for 10 percent. The population also includes 10 percent of residents who identify as mixed race and 5 percent who are Hispanic.
City Administrator Chris Frye, a Republican and former mayor of New Castle, said he expects GOP leaders will push for some changes to how federal programs are administered. But Frye urged his party to show “empathy” when it comes to determining the actual benefits that people receive. “I think it would be stupid to just take something away,” Frye said. “We would have mass chaos. Mass homelessness ... so nationally, I don’t think it is going to be a situation where they are taking away from people.” Detractors worry that New Castle residents will come to regret their decisions to vote GOP.

The full, evergreen post on polio:

The US #polio epidemic peaked in 1952: 57,000+ cases, 3,145 died and 21,269 were left with paralysis.

Dr. Jonas #Salk developed a polio vaccine in 1955. (At one point in the #1950s survey respondents found him more recognizable in this country than Dwight #Eisenhower.)

Within two decades, domestic transmission of polio was wiped out in the #US.

Polio never reached natural herd immunity, it was eradicated by #vaccines.

🔴 🇺🇸 How the South Became Republican

“Over the course of the 1952 campaign Eisenhower made three swings through the South, visiting every state except Mississippi. He cajoled audiences and slammed politics in the capital. At times, he courted controversy. When ‘Dixie’, a pro-Confederate song and relic of the Civil War, was played during a visit to South Carolina, Eisenhower commented: ‘I always stand up when they play that song’, drawing cheers from the crowd.”

"Of course, these presidents also had different durations in office. John F. #Kennedy wasn’t in office as long as his predecessor, Dwight D. #Eisenhower. So it would make sense if the country added fewer #jobs during his administration. (As it turns out, it didn’t, but you get the point.)

If we adjust #employment increases by months in office, we still see a difference — particularly since George H.W. #Bush in 1989."

US President Dwight Eisenhower is quoted as saying "No one should ever sit in this office over 70 years old, and that I know."

This quote was published without attribution in "Newsweek" magazine, 2 March 1987 - in an article about Ronald Reagan.

That's the earliest version I found, from over a quarter century after Eisenhower's death.

Anyone know anything about earlier or primary source?

@GottaLaff while I’m sputtering with absolute rage may I suggest these 46 House Republicans read General Eisenhower’s D-Day message to the troops of the Allied Expeditionary Forces on June 6, 1944? Methinks they have forgotten who we are. From the Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library.

“ You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty- loving people everywhere march with you. In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other Fronts,
you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, t h e elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world.”

Did they forget about the part where he says “security for ourselves in a free world?” Do they realize that is NATO’s prime directive? OR… what part don’t they like? Is it security? Is it a free world?
