President John Tyler had 15 children.

President Zachary Taylor once admitted that before being on the ballot himself, he had never voted in a US election.

Chester A Arthur was the first left-handed president.

William Henry Harrison died of pneumonia just 32 days after his inauguration as president in 1841.

Rutherford B Hayes was the first president to have a telephone in the White House.

President Ulysses S Grant and his wife had been invited to the same theater show at which Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in 1845, but were forced to turn down the invite as they had already made plans to travel to New Jersey to visit family.

President Ulysses S Grant once tried to annex the Dominican Republic to the United States.

The S  in Ulysses S Grant’s name didn’t really stand for anything, and was the result of an error made on his application  form to West Point. Grant’s real name, in fact, was Hiram Ulysses Grant, so his middle initial initial was actually U.

I learned about scams from the Clinton’s nonprofits. They pay the executives of the nonprofits hundreds of thousands of dollars, leaving very little for actual people that were supposed to be helped.

Newsom’s wife Jennifer and some friends are involved.   These are actual videos of how they work.

The BILLIONS go to companies/contractors owned by friends, relatives, and supporters of the politician.  See MINNESOTA.
