In the view of the Oregon Republican Party, what transpired on January 6 was not an insurrection and the rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol were not supporters of Donald Trump. Rather, the uprising that the world witnessed that day was a “false flag.” Its aim, according to the party, was to discredit Trump and “advance the Democrat goal of seizing total power, in a frightening parallel to the February 1933 burning of the German Reichstag.”
Horace Greeley
Horace Greeley is the only person with Chautauqua County roots ever to run for president of the United States.
His family lived in Clymer, or more succinctly, Wayne Township, Pa., on a road south of Clymer that delineates New York from Pennsylvania the state line road. Greeley’s parents, Zac and Mary Woodburn Greeley, were among Clymer’s earliest residents. They moved to the State Line Road in 1826 from Vermont, well before one could easily get from Buffalo.
There were no ways from eastern New York west, either, save for the Erie Canal. But the Greeleys were pioneers. The family made it to North East, Pa., by wagon and then took wagons to Wattsburg, ox carts from the Pennsylvania line between Wattsburg and Clymer, and walked up over the hills to the south and east to the Wayne Township property. A log cabin greeted their arrival. Mary Woodburn Greeley never stopped crying, it was said.

Some of Those That Have Lived and Died in American Politics Of the Past.
CANADA is to-day flirting with the idea of third parties so that the history of the long succession of third parties that have come into existence in the United States, struggled on for a little while and finally died, has an interest. It is briefly told by Aaron Hardy Ulm in Collier’s Weekly:
History records the “Quids” as the first of such movements. The name came from tertium quid a third something and was conferred on those who adhered to John Randolph of Roanoke in his revolt against Thomas Jefferson and the Republican, now the Democratic, party. It was more of an insurgent movement within the party than an attempt to set up a new party. Monroe was its candidate for President against Madison, but the candidate didn’t take the

“The shocking verdict to uphold the entire ObamaCare law is one of the worst Supreme Court decisions in recent history. Chief Justice John Roberts joined Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Elena Kagan, and Sonia Sotomayor in the majority opinion stating that the individual mandate requiring all Americans to purchase health insurance is not valid under the Commerce Clause but it can survive as a tax.
This ruling officially turns ObamaCare into the largest tax hike in American history and sets a dangerous precedent of virtually unlimited federal power.”

“A big reason for all the hypocrisies and paradoxes is that the 2,409-page health care act is a mess. Even its creators cannot agree whether it involves a mandate, tax or penalty. The public doesn’t like or want it at least the parts it must soon pay for. It was passed only on a strictly partisan vote and under shady means (remember th
