Lest We Forget Historical - Trump & the Haitians

In this episode of "Lest We Forget," host Lillian Cauldwell highlights Springfield, OH, where potential candidates Trump and his vice-presidential pick, JD Vance, have made claims about Haitian immigrants allegedly consuming local pets. Despite fact-checkers debunking these allegations, both continue to make inflammatory remarks, potentially inciting violence among citizens due to their staunch immigration policy stance. The irony of this situation is not lost on those familiar with historical patterns, considering that Mr. Trump and Mr. Vance are descendants of immigrants seeking to improve their lives in the U.S.

In the recent episode of 'Lest We Forget Historical,' host Lillian Cauldwell explores the process by which potential presidential candidates select their vice-presidential running mates.

Governors and senators are often favored for their experience in the executive branch at the state level. Aaron Dusso, Associate Professor of Political Science at Indiana University, explained to the Washington Examiner that this preference stems from their executive experience. A list of potential candidates is created, and those being considered for vice president receive vetting materials.

Political Scams in Previous Government Officals #2

In the latest episode of "Lest We Forget Historical," host Lillian Cauldwell carries on with the series on political scandals involving past presidents, congressional and senate members, and various organizations that acted above the law. Although these incidents are from past administrations, scams, misinformation, and fake news still shake our current political framework.  They will persist unless citizens actively work to prevent them. These deceptions not only influence election outcomes but also erode the very foundation of our democracy. As the United States of America approaches its 250th anniversary in 2026, it's crucial to protect our nation from those who seek to dismantle it.
