Along with their large family. There have been 21 families who have called the blaine house their home from the millikins in 1920 to currently Governor Paul Lepage and his wife first Lady Ann Lepage beginning in 2011. Today when we think of james g. Blaine in maine, i think we think primarily of the blaine house. It really is a symbol of both the maine governorship. And also of the state of maine as a whole.

I said, well, let me give you a hint. Do you know who the only member of the house who was elected straight from the house to be president . And he still said no. And i said garfield. And he said they shot him. And i said youre running for the job, im not. But garfield, as well see, in a brief period was president elect, senatorelect from ohio and sitting congressman all at the same time. Fascinating, fascinating guy.

Only two american president s in our history died before reaching the age of 50, kennedy and garfield. Obviously both for sad reasons. But hes the only house member, and im trying to
Thing specially in fields that are really dominated by the left and i think this is because more conservatives would improve social sciences. Host is there an intimidation factor about teaching sort of things . Guest what do you mean by intimidation factor . Host theres a couple of movements in our current policy, all lives matter, black lives matter, triggers. Guest i think there is. I think its a problem that affect the left more than than the right because liberal professors tend to teach the courses to have subjects that might get them in hot water.

Host have you ever steered away fr
