101 years ago: "American-Born Pope As Future Possibility"
100 years ago, the President of the United States treated his cold by having the Army lock him in an air-tight room filled with chlorine gas.
It went so well that the First Lady joined him the next day (just to hang out, she wasn't sick).
History is interesting.

The conventional wisdom about presidential campaign visits is more myth than reality.

I see speculation here and there that Trump could pick DeSantis as his VP. Not sure everyone realizes Trump is a resident of Florida now. Picking DeSantis = forfeiting Florida's 30 electoral votes. Not gonna happen.
