If Harris is elected will she be the only president other than reagan born in California
Reagan was Governor of California and lived here most of his adult life, but he was born in Illinois.
The only President born in California was Richard Nixon. You can still visit the home he was born and raised in, which is on the grounds of the excellent @richardnixonlibrary in Yorba Linda (which is in Orange County). You can actually start at Nixon's birthplace, walk through the Nixon Library, and end your tour at Nixon's gravesite. It's an incredible way to experience someone's life story. I can't give a high enough recommendation to the Nixon Library, and they also have arguably the best Tumblr site of any of the Presidential Libraries.
Kamala Harris would be the second California-born President and first Democrat.

I've actually never seen this photo of LBJ!
The @richardnixonlibrary in Orange County is not just one of the best Presidential Libraries in the National Archives system (and has the unique feature of having Nixon's birthplace on site, just a few dozen feet from his gravesite), but they also have one of the best Tumblr sites for history content! You guys should follow them.

#OTD 1/22/1973 Former President Lyndon Baines Johnson died at the age of 64 following his third heart attack. In his statement on President Johnson’s death, President Nixon said, “No man had greater dreams for America than Lyndon Johnson. Even as we mourn his death, we are grateful for his life, which did so much to make those dreams into realities. And we know that as long as this Nation lives, so will his dreams and his accomplishments.” (Image: WHPO-1892-14A)

A set of newly #declassified #tapes from the #WhiteHouse reveal the stark hostility former #US President #RichardNixon had towards #India and #Indians. Nixon referred to Indians as the “most sexless” and “pathetic”, and called #IndianWomen the “most unattractive women in the world” during a meeting with senior officials at the #OvalOffice on June 17, 1971, reports say. The tapes were recently declassified and released in batches up to May this year after Gary J Bass of #PrincetonUniversity filed a legal request for their declassification.

National Good Neighbor Day!
Tumblr media
This morning the National Archives at Riverside was surprised by the arrival of a basket of goodies from their good neighbors at the @richardnixonlibrary. The basket was filled with biscotti and coffee, mineral water, candy and energy bars, plus some tasty pork rinds!  Members of the Riverside staff are already enjoying the gifts and would like to send a hearty “thank you!” to the staff at the Nixon Library for thinking of us on National Good Neighbor Day!

What do you think of black dynamite's portrayal of nixon?
Are you suggesting that it wasn't a documentary featuring actual footage?
I'm going to require some clarification from the @richardnixonlibrary before I even begin to entertain the possibility that it's not archival video from the Nixon White House. What's next? Are you also going to tell me that Abraham Lincoln wasn't a vampire hunter? Or that George Washington didn't really have a wig for his wig and a brain for his heart? Excuse my language, but that's humbug and balderdash.
